Comments
Hemnet's strong results for the second quarter were mainly driven by higher demand for our value-added services from property sellers. We also benefited from a steady increase in the number of published listings as the positive trends in the property market continued with more properties for sale, more transactions and increasing property prices.
Revenue from property sellers grew 67.9 percent, and ARPL increased by 51.6 percent. This growth was mainly fueled by growing demand for our value-added services, and as a result the portion of ARPL coming from these products more than doubled compared to last year. The increased sales of our valueadded services are further explained by the improvements we have made over time in our products, payment options and purchasing flow. It is great to see that our work and investments are having the desired effect and we will continue to calibrate and improve our offering. We are delighted that our packages are proving so popular with Sweden's property sellers and that
the majority give us a 9 or 10 (on a scale of 1 to 10) when asked if they would recommend Hemnet to others. The increase in revenue from property sellers was also driven by a 10 percent increase in the number of published listings as well as pricing.
On July 1, we launched our new compensation model for agents that reinforces our strong partnership with the industry and is weighted more heavily towards sales of our value-added services and therefore better aligns with Hemnet's growth strategy. The new model is designed to give agent offices, who are active partners, even better possibilities to earn more from their partnership with Hemnet and we see this as one of the many opportunities to strengthen our relationships with the industry.
Many of our B2B customers, especially property developers, are still impacted by macroeconomic factors. This is having an effect on our B2B revenues, in particular the sale of our display advertising services. The demand for our established B2Bproducts however continues to be stable, and we see potential in continuing to develop products that leverage Hemnet's unique value to our business partners.
On June 30, Statistics Sweden released their data for property sales in Sweden in 2023. By comparing this data with listings on Hemnet it shows that we continue to list 9 out of 10 homes sold in Sweden at some point during the sales cycle, and in fact even managed to increase our share slightly compared to last year. With unmatched traffic exceeding 40 million monthly visits, 550% more than the second-largest player², Hemnet is the clear leader among Swedish property portals. Our unrivaled audience provides the best possible exposure for anyone selling a home in Sweden and we are fully committed to making our platform even more effective and engaging by continuing to invest and innovate across our products and target groups.

Financial summary, April-June 2024
Net sales increased from a very strong growth of average revenue per published listing (ARPL). The increase was mainly driven by growing demand for our value-added services and in particular higher uptake of Hemnet Premium. EBITDA increased 53.7 percent to SEK 216.2m (140.7).
Net sales and profit
Net sales increased by 51.3 percent to SEK 405.0m (267.6).
Net sales from property sellers increased by 67.9 percent to SEK 348.9m (207.8). Number of published listings increased with 10.1 percent compared to the same quarter last year. The sales of value-added services for property sellers continued to increase. Major driver is increased conversion for Hemnet Premium, with revenues more than three times higher compared to the same quarter last year. This in combination with price adjustments across all products led to ARPL growing by 51.6 percent to SEK 6,274 (4,138).
Net sales from other customers decreased by 6.2 percent to SEK 56.1m (59.8), which is primarily attributable to lower display revenue. Revenue from bank integrations, on the other hand, continued to increase, as did revenue from value-added services for real estate agents. The latter is partly due to our new products that help agents find sellers.
Capitalised development of employees was SEK 2.7m (2.3) and related to our continued investments in product development. Mainly consisting of technical improvements for property sellers, as well as new products for real estate agents. A total of SEK 6.1m (7.4) was capitalised during the quarter.
Other external expenses increased by 61.6 percent to SEK 137.7m (85.2). SEK 107.2m (59.7) of other external expenses were administration and commission expenses to real estate agents, which increased by 79.6 percent following the increasing revenue from property sellers. The remaining part increased by 19.6 percent to SEK 30.5m (25.5), mainly related to higher costs for marketing and consulting.
Personnel costs increased by 21.4 percent to SEK 53.9m (44.4), mainly a consequence of an increase in FTE's during the quarter. The number of FTE's increased by 15, compared to the number of employees at period end only increasing by 4. The difference can be explained by a lower number of employees on parental leave during 2024, as well as recruitments made in 2023. Additionally, part of the increase is also due to salary inflation and changes within the management team.
EBITDA increased 53.7 percent to SEK 216.2m (140.7), corresponding to an EBITDA-margin of 53.4 (52.6) percent.

and key personnel resulted in a cash flow of SEK +50.9m. Amortisation of lease liabilities resulted in a cash flow of SEK -2.7m.

Other information
Current macro environment
There are a number of macro factors that can have an impact on Hemnet financial results. In the period there is high mortgage interest rates, and an uncertain security situation with the war in Ukraine. This affects Hemnets B2B customers who are reviewing their cost spend and are continued cautious with display advertising. For the property market we see a number of positive signals, for example the number of property transactions is significantly higher than last year.
Employees
The number of employees at the end of the period was 152 compared to 154 at the end of December 2023.
Repurchase and holding of treasury shares
The Annual General Meeting 2024 authorized the Board of Directors to cancel 2,112,069 shares repurchased under previous share repurchase programs in 2023-2024, as well as on one or more occasions during the period until the next Annual General Meeting, decide on the repurchase of own shares to such an extent that the Company holds no more than ten (10) percent of all shares in the Company at any time after the acquisition. The maximum amount for repurchases during the period shall be SEK 450 million. Acquisitions shall be made on Nasdaq Stockholm at a price per share within the price interval registered at any given time. The purpose of the
authorization is to adjust the Company's capital structure by reducing the share capital. The Board of Directors therefore intends to propose to the Annual General Meeting 2025 that the repurchased shares be cancelled.
The repurchase program is implemented in accordance with the Market Abuse Regulation (EU) No 596/2014 ("MAR") and Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 2016/1052 (the "Safe Harbour Regulation"). The repurchase program is managed by Carnegie Investment Bank AB (publ), which makes its trading decisions regarding the timing of the repurchases of Hemnet shares independently of Hemnet.
See further information in note 4.
Performance share program 2024/2027
The 2024 Annual General Meeting decided to introduce a performance share program aimed at senior executives and other key employees. The program runs from June 2024 to June 2027 and includes a maximum of 37 people, divided into four different tiers. The participants in the program will be awarded performance shares when the program ends based on the fulfilment of three different conditions linked to the Hemnet shares total return as well as key metrics regarding satisfaction for important customer groups. A maximum of 42,000 performance shares can be awarded to participants.
Seasonality
Hemnet's sales and earnings are partly affected by seasonal fluctuations, mainly linked to vacation seasons and major holidays, as the number of listings and activity on Hemnets platforms tend to be lower during these periods than during other periods of the year. Seen over a financial year, the year begins with low volumes that gradually increase until the summer months where volumes decrease to lower levels and then increase again after the summer holiday period, before they decrease again ahead of the Christmas holidays.
Overall, the first quarter in particular tends to be weaker seasonally, both in terms of sales and earnings, while the second quarter tends to be the strongest.
Average revenue per published listing, ARPL, is affected by certain seasonal effects. Listing revenue and revenue from listing related value-added services is, in accordance with IFRS, recognised over the average duration of a listing on Hemnet. The effect is that quarters that are preceded by a month with a high volume of listings and value-added services benefit. Historically, March and September have been such months with high volume of listings, giving a positive contribution to revenue and ARPL in the following month and therefore the second and the fourth quarter respectively.
Risks and uncertainties
Hemnet is through its operations exposed to risks and uncertainties. The income from listing fees is a significant part of sales. Hemnet's operations are therefore dependent on an efficient, well-functioning housing market with high mobility. Through Hemnet's advertising business, we offer customers advertising both through direct sales and through programmatic trading. The development and trends for advertising purchases in the market can affect Hemnet's revenue both positively and negatively. For Hemnet, it is of great importance to have a good relationship with the real estate agents and to have a substantial range of listings. Hemnet's future business may be threatened if a deteriorating agent relationship would result in a reduction in the number of listings.
In addition to its own funds, the Group´s operations are also financed through borrowing. As a result, the business is exposed to financing risks and interest rate risk. The Group's overall risk management policy focuses on the unpredictability of the financial markets and strives to minimise potential adverse effects on the Group's financial results.
For a detailed description of the risk factors and how they are managed, please refer to Hemnet's Annual Report 2023, page 62-63. Hemnet's assessment is that no other significant risks or uncertainties have arisen during the period.

On 1 July, Hemnet introduced a new compensation model for agents that is more focused on selling Hemnet's value-added services and therefore better aligned with Hemnet's growth strategy than the previous compensation model. The new model is designed to give agent offices that are active partners even better opportunities to earn more from their partnership with Hemnet, and Hemnet sees this as one of many ways to strengthen our relationship with the industry.
