Year-end report January–December 2023

Profit from property management increased by 32 per cent in 2023, reaching a record high. This positive development is chiefly the result of a larger property portfolio and an improved net interest income following the sale of Melon Fashion Group (MFG).

January–December 2023

  • Rental income increased by 19 per cent to EUR 36,166k (30,299), as a result of a larger property portfolio as well as a higher average occupancy rate and rent level during the year. In a comparable portfolio, rental income increased by 9 per cent.
  • Net operating income increased by 22 per cent to EUR 33,631k (27,487), corresponding to a surplus ratio of 93 per cent (91).
  • The profit from property management increased by 32 per cent to EUR 17,698k (13,413), corresponding to EUR 0.80 per share (0.60). Higher interest income following the sale of the holdings in MFG in August, and lower interest expenses following the redemption of Eastnine's only bond in October, contributed positively to the profit.
  • Unrealised value changes amounted to EUR -42,452k (92,589). Of these changes, EUR -34,685k (9,383) is attributable to properties, EUR -7,767k (12,417) to derivatives and zero (70,789) to other investments. Unrealised value changes in properties corresponded to -5.7 per cent.
  • Realised value changes and dividends amounted to EUR -49,870k (7,075), primarily related to the sale of the holding in MFG.
  • Profit/loss for the year amounted to EUR -72,048k (108,560), corresponding to EUR -3.24 per share after dilution (4.88).
  • Net letting amounted to EUR -270k (2,048). The economic occupancy rate was 93.1 per cent (96.3).
  • The property value was EUR 574m (606) at the end of the year.

Key events during the fourth quarter

  • Unrealised value changes properties and net letting were both positive in the fourth quarter and amounted to EUR 21k (1,848) and EUR 334k (-288) respectively.
  • In October, Eastnine's only bond was redeemed early. The amount redeemed corresponded to around EUR 46m.
  • In December, the Board adopted a new business plan.

Key events after the end of the year

• The Board proposes a dividend of SEK 4.64 per share (3.40), to be paid in quarterly instalments, each of SEK 1.16 per share. The proposed dividend, an increase of 36 per cent, amounts to 53 per cent of the profit from property management, net of tax.

Eastnine Year-end report January–December 2023 2

New business plan

In December 2023, Eastnine's Board adopted a new business plan. We shall create a competitive advantage for our customers by providing the best venues where ideas can flow, people meet, and successful business operations develop. Poland and the Baltics remain the prioritised markets, as does the overall goal of providing investors with a sustainable, attractive total return. The portfolio of office properties shall grow, provided the growth is profitable.

Vision

Q4

Eastnine shall create and provide the best venues where ideas can flow, people meet, and successful business operations develop.

Business concept

Eastnine shall be the leading long-term provider of modern and sustainable office premises in prime locations at selected markets in the Baltics and Poland.

Business model

Management

Property management shall take place in close cooperation with customers enabling both Eastnine and customers to reach their respective targets.

Improvement/development

The property portfolio shall be continuously improved by investing in the existing portfolio in order to increase profitability. Development of new properties will take place when the estimated yield is sufficient.

Transaction

New acquisitions and re-allocation of investments shall contribute to the profitability.

New goals and targets

Eastnine's overarching target is to create a sustainable, attractive total return on investment for its shareholders.

Growth goal: Eastnine's long-term ambition is to grow the property portfolio in order to increase profitability.

Financial targets

  • Return on equity should be at least 10 per cent over time.
  • Profit from property management per share should grow.
  • Dividends should, over time, correspond to at least 50 per cent of the profit from property management, after deductions for applicable taxes.

Financial limits:

• Eastnine strives for a loan-to-value ratio (LTV) (previously referred to as the net loan-to-value ratio, properties) of around 50 per cent over a business cycle. The LTV shall not exceed 60 per cent.

• The interest coverage ratio shall amount to at least 2.0x.

Environmental sustainability targets:

Eastnine's ambition is to be a leader in sustainability within our regions, by striving for the following targets:

  • 100 per cent EU taxonomy aligned property business.
  • Climate-neutral property operations by 2030 and reduced emissions from new construction and tenant customisation.
  • 100 per cent sustainability-certified property portfolio.
  • Five-star rating from GRESB.

Record profit after an historic year

Eastnine concludes 2023 by delivering the highest profit from property management of any single calendar year ever. After successfully completing the sale of the MFG holding, our single most important goal during the year, we were able to redeem Eastnine's only bond early and invest the remaining cash with good return. Now we are focusing on the next step: acquiring further modern and sustainable office properties that contribute to improved profitability. All in line with the new business plan that was adopted in December.

The overarching goal is to create a sustainable, attractive total return on investment for our shareholders. In 2023, the total return on shareholder's investment amounted to a healthy 46 per cent.

Profit from property management at record level

The 2023 profit from property management is at a record high, in spite of higher financing expenses. Excluding oneoff expenses connected with the redemption of Eastnine's bond, the profit/loss for the fourth quarter is also at the highest level ever. There are two deals in particular that contributed to the increased profits this year: the acquisition of the Nowy Rynek D property in May 2022 and

the sale of the MFG holding in August 2023. The acquisition of Nowy Rynek D meant that we received rental income throughout the whole year in 2023, as compared to the previous year in which we received rental income for only eight months. The sale of the MFG holding allowed us to redeem the bond early and place the remaining liquidity with good return. Both of these deals contributed to the strengthening of

important key figures. The occupancy rate, surplus ratio and the rent level averaged higher levels in 2023 than in 2022. A high occupancy rate has a positive impact on rental income and also reduces property expenses. During the fourth quarter, we achieved positive net letting again after

two quarters of negative figures, the latter owing to the high occupancy rate.

Stable financing

Eastnine enjoys a low loan-to-value ratio and large cash balances. The capital tie-up period will increase during the first quarter as we will refinance the brunt of the loans maturing in 2024, with slightly longer terms.

Value changes in properties

Following three quarters of relatively large, negative unrealised value changes in properties, property values remained essentially unchanged throughout the fourth quarter. The weighted yield requirement as used in the valuations continued to grow, rising by 0.2 percentage points to 6.4 per cent. At the same time, however, market rent levels also rose. There are good reasons to believe that the trend of rising yield requirements on properties, and falling property values, may be coming to an end as a result of lower inflation rates and falling long-term interest rates. Negative unrealised value changes during the full year 2023 amounted to 5.7 per cent.

New business plan and high total return

In December 2023, the Board adopted a new business plan, as the previous plan ended at the end of 2023. Eastnine shall acquire more modern and sustainable office properties in our markets in Poland and the Baltics,

provided that these acquisitions contribute to further profitability. The overarching goal, in the old business plan as well as in the new, was and remains to create a sustainable, attractive total return on investment for our shareholders. In 2023, the total return on our shareholders' investment amounted to a healthy 46 per cent.

I would like to conclude my statement by thanking all of my colleagues for their excellent contributions over the past year. We

have a small, effective organisation, meaning that every person and every contribution is important.

Eastnine Year-end report January–December 2023 5

Q4

In November, we celebrated St. Martin's Day at our property Nowy Rynek D in Poznan by treating our tenants to croissants. The pastries had been purchased as part of a charity drive in which Eastnine sponsored a Christmas Eve dinner for poor, homeless, lonely and elderly people.

Market

Q4

There were some signs in the fourth quarter that the previous market trend may be changing. Among central banks and other market operators, there has been talk of an end to interest rate increases, while two major property transactions have been announced in the Baltics. In Vilnius, the market rent for offices has continued to rise and new development projects are being planned. At the same time, there is a considerable risk of backlash on the credit and financial markets.

Market development

The fourth quarter has come with a change to the communications coming from central banks and to the market's expectation of interest rates. The rate of inflation has now sunk to levels that cause central banks in both the US and Europe to speak of an end to rising interest rates, and market prices are now based on upcoming reductions in interest rates. In the Eurozone, the five-year swap has fallen from 3.4 to 2.4 per cent during the fourth quarter, meaning that the cost of fixed-interest five-year loans was a full 100 points lower than during the third quarter. However, the cost remained over 200 points higher than two years ago, and the downside risk is considerable. Job markets are being surprisingly robust, which may mean that the reductions in interest rates will be fewer and/or slower than the market has priced. At the same time, geopolitical tensions remain and are certainly not moderated by the upcoming US presidential election in November 2024.

Rental market

Several office properties were finished toward the end of the year in the Baltics, including Flow and Artery in the central business district of Vilnius, and Elemental and V118 in the Skanste area of Riga. In total in 2023, 72,000 sq.m. of office space was added in Vilnius, around 62,000 sq.m. in Riga, and around 49,000 in Poznan. This increase corresponds to a 6-10 per cent growth in the office supplies in these cities, according to Colliers and JLL. During the year, vacancy rates rose to 21.6 per cent (15.5) in Riga and 14.7 per cent (10.5) in Poznan, while the vacancy rate in Vilnius fell somewhat to 7.1 per cent (7.6) as a result of continued strong net absorption of offices. It is also in Vilnius that the greatest increase in market rents may be observed, with top rents reaching EUR 21 per sq.m. and

month at year-end. In comparison, in the previous quarter that figure was EUR 20, and a year previously it was EUR 18, according to Colliers. New leases in Poznan are also being signed at somewhat higher rent levels, at just above EUR 16.00, having been just below EUR 16.00 a year previously. In Riga, top rents have been unchanged at EUR 18 during the year, according to Colliers.

While the start of new development projects is absent in Riga and Poznan, this may be about to change in Vilnius. The local developers Lords L.B. Asset Management and Releven have begun planning new projects in the central business district of Vilnius, with possible completion dates within the next few years.

Transaction market

The transaction market is also showing some signs of a potentially bucking trend, as two major property transactions have been announced in the Baltics during the fourth quarter. In Vilnius, Lords L.B. Asset Management has entered into an agreement for the acquisition of an office park comprising around 100,000 sq.m. in northern Vilnius from Technopolis, the former Nordic office giant that has also divested its presence in Finland. In Riga, the Swedish firm East Capital has acquired a logistics and warehouse property of 94,000 sq.m. in a sale-and-leaseback transaction from Rimi Baltic, part of the ICA group. In Poland, transaction activity remains low, in part because the previously dominant German investors are presently busy at home.

Yield requirements for high-quality office properties in central locations is assessed to be unchanged during the quarter, at 6.50 per cent in Vilnius and Riga, but having grown somewhat in Poznan, to 7.25 per cent. During the year, the increases amount to 100-125 points.

Yield requirement premium offices

January–December 2023

Eastnine's net operating income and profit from property management in 2023 measure record highs, in large part owing to a larger property portfolio. The profit from property management has been positively affected by higher interest income following the sale of the MFG holding, as well as lower interest expenses following the bond redemption. Negative unrealised and realised value changes resulted in a loss for the year.

Rental income

Q4

Rental income increased by 19 per cent during the year to EUR 36,166k (30,299), as a result of a larger property portfolio, higher average occupancy rate and a higher average rent. In a comparable portfolio, rental income increased by 9 per cent. The average rent level increased during the year by 5 per cent to EUR 193 per sq.m. per year.

Property costs

Property expenses have decreased by 10 per cent to EUR -2,535k (-2,812). This decrease is primarily a result of a higher average occupancy rate, but lower electricity and heating costs have also had an impact. A considerable proportion of the costs of property operation is charged to the tenants in accordance with the lease agreements. Only property expenses that are not charged to tenants are included in the Company's property expenses. This means that carried property expenses are affected, among other things, by changes in the vacancy rate.

Net operating income and profit from property management

Net operating income increased by 22 per cent to EUR 33,631k (27,487), and the surplus ratio amounted to 93 per cent (91). Changes in net operating income is attributable both to higher rental income and lower property expenses.

Central administration expenses decreased to EUR -3,679k (-4,224), in part due to lower staff expenses. Interest expenses increased to EUR -13,586k (-9,374) due to new loans raised in connection with an acquisition in May 2022, as well as a rising interest rate. During the fourth quarter, one-off expenses arose in conjunction with the early redemption of the bond, affecting interest expenses and other financial expenses.

Profit from property management increased by 32 per cent to EUR 17,698k (13,413), corresponding to EUR 0.80 (0.60) per share.

Value changes

Unrealised value changes amounted to EUR -42,452k (92,589). Of these changes, EUR -34,685k (9,383) is attributable to real estate, EUR -7,767k (12,417) to derivatives and zero (70,789) to other investments. Realised value changes and dividends amounted to EUR -49,870k (7,075), including a realised value change following the MFG sale (including transaction costs) of EUR -50,406k (-), dividend from MFG of EUR 238k (7,075), and a repayment from East Capital Baltic Property Fund II of EUR 298k (-).

Tax

Tax for the year amounted to EUR 2,576k (-4,516), of which deferred tax was EUR 3,025k (-4,307) and current tax was EUR -449k (-209), the latter chiefly in Poland. The deferred tax is primarily attributable to the difference between the book values and tax values of the properties, unrealised value changes in derivatives as well as tax losses carried forward.

Earnings

Profit/loss for the year amounted to EUR -72,048k (108,560) and the total comprehensive income for the year to EUR -71,658k (108,707).

Segment reporting

Properties in Lithuania generated a profit from property management of EUR 16,452k (15,612) and a profit/loss for the year of EUR -10,159k (29,600). For Properties in Latvia, the profit from property management amounted to EUR 1,709k (1,650) and the profit/loss for the year to EUR -6,542k (2,151).

Unallocated central administration expenses, interest income, interest expenses and other financial income and expenses, and deferred tax amounted to EUR -4,842k (-6,702).

Financing

Q4

Eastnine's activities are primarily financed with equity and bank loans. The loan-to-value ratio1 amounted to 27 per cent (51) at year-end. This reduction in the loan-to-value ratio is due to the sale of the holding in MFG, which was unburdened. The equity/asset ratio amounted to 56 per cent (57).

Equity amounted to EUR 400,176k (478,508) and interest-bearing liabilities totalled EUR 284,322k (326,882). In October, an early redemption of Eastnine's only bond was carried out, amounting to around EUR 46m. Once the bond had been redeemed, all of Eastnine's interest-bearing liabilities comprised bank loans. Green financing comprised 60 per cent (64) of total interest-bearing liabilities. The decline is due to the redemption of the green bond and a change in bank classifications of green loans. During the period, new credits of EUR 10,519k have been raised, and EUR 56,481k have been refinanced. Unutilised overdraft credit facilities amounted to EUR 3,000k (3,000).

The average interest rate was 4.0 per cent (3.4), the average fixed-interest period 1.7 years (1.8) and the average capital tie-up period was 2.1 years (2.3). The interest coverage ratio, which during the quarter was 2.2x (2.2), was negatively affected by one-off expenses in conjunction with the early redemption of the bond. All interest-bearing liabilities, except the unutilised bank overdraft facility, carry variable interest tied to Euribor 3M or 6M. 72 per cent (71) of total interest-bearing liabilities have interest fixed using derivatives.

During the year, liabilities have been amortised by EUR 8,079k (7,542). The annual repayment rate under the credit agreements amounted to EUR 7,486k (8,301) at year-end, corresponding to 2.6 per cent (2.5) of interest-bearing liabilities. Eastnine's derivatives comprised EUR 204,836k (230,679) in interest rate swaps. The derivatives are measured at fair value and the change in value is recognised through profit or loss, with no effect on cash flow. The fair value of the derivatives amounted to EUR 3,254k (11,022). At the end of the term, the value of derivatives is always zero.

Net asset value and equity per share

Long-term net asset value per share was EUR 18.6 (21.9) at year-end, corresponding to SEK 207 per share (243). Equity per share was EUR 18.0 (21.5), corresponding to SEK 200 per share (240).

Cash flow

Cash flow from operating activities before changes in working capital amounted to EUR 17,715k (20,259) for the year. Change in working capital was EUR -984k (-709). Cash flow from investing activities amounted to EUR 141,328k (-108,264) and from financing activities to EUR -49,274k (79,281). Cash flow for the year amounted to EUR 108,785k (-9,434). Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the year was EUR 128,620k (19,820).

Interest rate level and fixed-interest period

Property portfolio

The combined property value decreased to EUR 574m (606) during the year. Unrealised value changes amounted to around EUR -35m, corresponding to -5.7 per cent. The value change is primarily due to the yield requirements used in the valuations having risen, amounting on average to 6.4 per cent at year-end. No properties have been acquired or divested.

Property portfolio

As at 31 December 2023, Eastnine's property portfolio comprised 13 modern office properties and one development property with a combined market value of EUR 573.8m (606.2), of which development properties contributed EUR 12.7m (12.6). The properties are located in the inner cities of Vilnius, Poznan and Riga, with excellent transport connections and accessibility. Office premises comprise 96 per cent of the total lettable area. The remaining 4 per cent primarily comprise service and retail premises.

The economic occupancy rate amounted to 93.1 per cent (96.3). The rental value amounted to EUR 37.8m (35.7). The surplus ratio has improved, at 93 per cent, in comparison to the 2022 figure of 91 per cent. The average age of the property portfolio, excluding buildings on the Kimmel development site, was 9.8 years (8.8) at the end of the year.

Lithuania

In Vilnius, the capital of Lithuania, Eastnine's modern and sustainable office properties are concentrated in three areas. The central business district, along the street Konstitucijos prospektas north of the river Neris, is home to a large part of the class A offices in Vilnius. This is where Eastnine's three S7 properties and two 3Bures properties are located. Eastnine's properties Vertas-1, Vertas-2 and Uniq are located in the parliamentary quarters. The property Uptown Park is located in an area with several new developments near the central station, just outside Vilnius' old core. At year-end, Eastnine's combined lettable area in Vilnius amounted to around 120,900 sq.m., corresponding to a market share of around 11 per cent of the office

market in the city. The rental value increased during the year to EUR 24.8m (23.7). The property value was EUR 382.6m (403.7) at year-end, of which development properties contributed EUR 0.4m (0.3).

Poland

Eastnine's office property Nowy Rynek D is located in Poznan, one of Poland's major cities. The property is centrally located in Poznan's business district, close to both the central station and the old town. At year-end, Eastnine's lettable area in Poznan amounted to around 39,300 sq.m., estimated to correspond to 6 per cent of the office market in the city. The rental value amounted to EUR 8.3m (7.5) and the property value to EUR 117.1m (120.9) at the end of the year.

Latvia

In Riga, the capital of Latvia, there is not as yet a clearly delineated business district, and modern office buildings are being developed in a number of smaller micro-areas. All of Eastnine's properties are centrally located on one of the most important streets in the city - Krisjaņa Valdemara iela - as well as along the adjacent street Zala iela. The total lettable area in the property portfolio amounted to around 22,600 sq.m., estimated to correspond to around 3 per cent of the office market in the city. The rental value amounted to EUR 4.7m (4.5). The combined property value including development properties amounted at the year-end to EUR 74.1m (81.6), of which the value of development properties contributed EUR 12.3m (12.3).

Property development

Q4

At the end of the year, Eastnine had three future development projects.

The Pine, a project in Riga, is planned to be constructed directly adjacent to an existing building on the Alojas Biroji property and is estimated to comprise around 15,600 sq.m. of lettable area. The Kimmel development property, comprising land in central Riga, is estimated to comprise 35,000 sq.m. of lettable area when complete. Eastnine is also planning to construct a new office building on existing land adjacent to the 3Bures properties in the central business district of Vilnius, naming the new building 3Bures-4. The building is expected to comprise around 13,200 sq.m. of lettable area.

All of these projects are currently on hold due to considerable uncertainty in new construction, in particular about cost.

Value changes in properties

The value of the properties decreased during the year to EUR 573.8m (606.2). Investments in existing properties of EUR 2.2m increased property values, while unrealised value changes had a negative impact on the value of EUR 34.7m, corresponding to -5.7 per cent of the property value at the beginning of the year. Higher market rents as well as rent

indexation have had positive impacts on property value while increased yield requirements, due to higher interest rates, have had the opposite effect. The weighted yield requirement rose during the fourth quarter to 6.4 per cent, compared to 6.2 per cent in the third quarter and 5.6 per cent at the turn of the year 2022/2023.

Acquisitions and investments in the property portfolio

There have been no acquisitions during the year. Investments in existing properties have mainly related to investments for existing and new tenants.

Property value by segment Area by category

Centrally located, modern offices

Offices are a part of the brand for any company, as well as a venue where the values of companies and people interact. For tenants that place a high value on the indoor climate, working conditions, reception, service availability and sustainability, Eastnine offers modern and sustainable offices in a first-class property portfolio in central locations, close to public transport. Premises are designed based on the needs and identity of the tenants. The majority of properties have a reception, access to a café, restaurants, gyms, tailoring and dry-cleaning, and parking for cars and bicycles. Eastnine's strategy is to hold a considerable market position in order to be able to offer alternatives to tenants wishing to move to larger or smaller spaces.

Being an Eastnine tenant

In the Baltics and Poland, a majority of leases have defined terms and expire unless renegotiated. Extending the lease agreements therefore require both parties to actively renegotiate. In these agreements, there may also be a unilateral right for the tenant to terminate the lease early.

By being present locally, Eastnine strives for long-term and value-generating relationships characterised by collaboration, engagement and a high degree of service. As a landlord, Eastnine strives to be attentive to its tenants, inviting them to a continual dialogue to discuss their future requirements for premises.

Lease agreements and annual rents

Annual rents under contract amounted to EUR 35.2m (34.4) at the end of the year, of which 61 per cent comes from leases with the ten largest tenants. The average remaining lease term across all leases amounted to 3.8 years. Some leases may include a unilateral option allowing the tenant to break the lease ahead of schedule (a break option). The average remaining term until break option is 3.3 years.

At year-end, the average annual rent for premises amounted to EUR 193 per sq.m. (183). In Lithuania, the average annual rent was EUR 193 per sq.m., in Latvia EUR 181 per sq.m. and in Poland EUR 201 per sq.m. Rent is paid monthly for all of Eastnine's office premises. As security, Eastnine normally receives 2–3 months' worth of rent from its tenants in connection with the leases being signed.

Lettings, renegotiations and terminations

Net letting during the year, i.e., signed agreements less terminated agreements, amounted to -4,499 sq.m. (9,281), corresponding to a reduction in annual rent income of EUR -270k (2,048). During the fourth quarter, net letting was positive, amounting to 1,028 sq.m. (-2,193) or EUR 334k (-288). The average annual rent in new leases signed during the year was EUR 217 per sq.m.; the corresponding figure during the fourth quarter was EUR 247 per sq.m. The average rent in renegotiated leases was EUR 201 per sq.m. during the year and EUR 226 per sq.m. in the fourth quarter. In comparison, the average rent in Eastnine's portfolio is EUR 193 per sq.m. At year-end, of the net letting, 1,444 sq.m. were yet to be occupied by new tenants and 2,272 sq.m. to be vacated.

Market value, property portfolio

The properties are subject to quarterly valuation. External valuation is performed by a certified valuation institute at least once in a rolling twelve-month period. In 2023, all 13 office properties were externally valued. The market value has declined to EUR 573.8m (606.2) at year-end.

For more details on the valuation model, the assumptions made and the property values, please refer to the Annual Accounts 2022, note 10 (Investment properties).

Valuation model and process

The external valuations are carried out in accordance with international valuation standards (IVS 2020). When external valuations are carried out, the properties are always inspected on site. External valuations during the period were carried out by Colliers International Advisors, Colliers Poland and Newsec.

When properties are acquired, their market value is initially estimated to correspond to the acquisition cost. The fair value of development properties, where there are uncertainties relating to the total cost of the project and where there are no future lease agreements, is estimated to correspond to accrued costs, unless there is other information available at the time of the valuation that indicates that the value might be lower.

The market valuation is always carried out using an individual assessment of each property's future cash flows.

In the Baltics, a valuation model is used based on the present value of future cash flows for a five or ten-year calculation period, with supplements for the present value of residual values at the end of the calculation period. Cash-flow calculations with longer calculation periods than five years are normally applied to properties with only one or a handful of tenants with long lease terms, allowing for more predictable cash flows.

In Poland, the valuation model used entails a capitalisation of current rent with a supplement/deduction for the difference between market rent and the current rent, known as the "hardcore method".

Valuation assumptions

Property valuations are based on assessments and assumptions, made at the time of the valuation, of both observable and non-observable input data.

  • Observable data: Includes e.g. current rental income, past property expenses and investments as well as the current rate of inflation.
  • Non-observable data: Includes e.g. yield requirements, the discount rate, future rate of inflation, estimated market rent and the long-term vacancy rate.

Non-observable data in the valuation model

The estimated current market rent in the valuations amounted on average to EUR 16.5 per sq.m per month (15.5). The long-term rate of inflation of market rents has on average been estimated to 1.6 per cent (2.0). The longterm vacancy rate applied is on average 4.5 per cent (4.5). The weighted yield requirement was 6.4 per cent (5.6) and the weighted discount rate was 7.7 per cent (7.6).

Current earning capacity, properties

In order to facilitate the assessment of the Company's current position, Eastnine reports on current earning capacity. Earning capacity is a theoretical assessment describing the Company's current earnings on 31 December 2023.

Earning capacity provides a snapshot

Earning capacity is not to be regarded as a forecast for the coming twelve months, but as a snapshot of the potential earnings Eastnine can generate under given circumstances. It is based on the property portfolio held on the reporting day. Earning capacity includes current lease agreements but no assessment as relates to the future development of rents and the vacancy rate, or any other future changes of property expenses, interest rates, value changes or other factors that affect earnings.

Eastnine's calculated earning capacity is based on the following assumptions about income and costs:

  • Rental income refers to income under contract on the balance sheet date.
  • Property expenses and central administration expenses correspond to the actual outcome over the last twelve months preceding the report date.
  • Interest expenses have been calculated based on the interest-bearing liabilities as on the balance sheet date and the average interest rate.
  • Interest income and other financial income and expenses has been estimated to correspond to the budget, with supplements for future annual income and expenses that have been added during the period.

Comment to earning capacity

  • Rental value has decreased since the end of the third quarter due to somewhat lower average rent levels.
  • The vacancy rate has increased due to a lower occupancy rate.
  • Property expenses have risen due to a higher vacancy rate.
  • Central administration expenses have fallen, due to, inter alia, fewer employees.
  • Interest expenses and interest income have decreased due to the redemption of the bond.
  • Profit from property management has increased, primarily after the bond was redeemed.
  • The interest coverage ratio and debt ratio have improved following the bond redemption.

Other information

General information

Q4

Eastnine AB (publ), corporate ID no. 556693-7404, is a Swedish limited company, listed on Nasdaq Stockholm, with its registered office in Stockholm. The Group's real estate operations are administered by wholly-owned subsidiaries in each of the Eastnine Group's countries of operations. At the end of the year, the Eastnine Group had 22 (23) full-time employees, of which nine (9) were employed at the head office in Stockholm, eight (9) in Vilnius and five (5) in Riga. The Company and the Group's year-end report concerns the period January-December 2023. All figures are presented in EUR thousands unless otherwise stated. Rounding differences may occur.

Risks and uncertainties

The dominant risks in Eastnine's operations are commercial risks in the form of changes in rent levels, vacancies, interest rates, and changes in the economic or business climate as well as exchange rates in the markets where Eastnine operates. Changes in the business environment, such as changes to the business cycle, local, politics and planning risk, as well as the risk of changes in the value of properties may affect Eastnine's operations.

High inflation has resulted in higher financing expenses and have therefore negatively impacted the business. A weak business cycle may impact the ability of tenants to pay and the demand for offices.

Input data and assessments may prove incorrect and conditions may come to change, which in turn can cause value changes.

A description of Eastnine's material risks is provided in the Company's Annual Report 2022 on pages 54–60. A current market analysis is provided in the Market section on page 6.

The Parent Company

Profit/loss for the year amounted to EUR -44,894k (77,557). The profit/loss includes value change and dividend attributable to MFG of EUR -50,168k (78,100). For the Parent Company's income statement and balance sheet, see p. 26.

Dividend

The 2023 AGM adopted a dividend of SEK 3.40 per share (3.00), to be paid quarterly in four instalments of SEK 0.85 per share each. The dividend comprised 51 per cent of profit from property management after current tax for 2022. The last instalment was paid in January 2024.

Outcomes in the LTIP 2020 incentive programme

Eastnine's 2020 AGM decided to introduce a long-term incentive programme for employees of the Company (LTIP 2020). The term of the programme was just about three years. At the end of the programme, the combined fulfilment rate of the conditions was 59.1 per cent. The programme awarded shares in August 2023. In total, 23,262 shares were awarded.

Introduction

Q4

We have reviewed the condensed interim financial information (interim report) of Eastnine AB (publ) as of 31 December 2023 and the twelve-month period then ended. The Board of Directors and the Managing Director are responsible for the preparation and presentation of this interim report in accordance with IAS 34 and the Annual Accounts Act. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim report based on our review.

Scope of review

We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements ISRE 2410 Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity. A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing and other generally accepted auditing practices and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim report is not prepared, in all material respects, for the Group in accordance with IAS 34 and the Annual Accounts Act, and for the Parent Company in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act.
