Comments from the CEO
Strong ARPL growth and resilience in a challenging market
Despite a continued challenging property market, Hemnet demonstrated strong ARPL growth and resilience in the third quarter. Average Revenue Per Published Listing (ARPL) maintained its momentum, increasing by 21% to SEK 7,477. Net revenue declined by 1.5% to SEK 367 million and EBITDA was down 5.9% to SEK 195 million, corresponding to an EBITDA margin of 53.3%.
Published listings decreased 19% year-on-year, reflecting a property market with record-high supply, longer sales cycles, and continued price pressure, leaving many consumers hesitant to enter the market. Hemnet's October Buyer Barometer supports this sentiment, indicating that more consumers now expect prices to fall compared with last month. At the same time, lower interest rates, stabilising inflation and the easing of mortgage regulations planned for April 2026 could gradually help increase activity. Around four percentage points of the volume decline was attributed to changed business terms introduced in Q1 2025, allowing sellers to change agent without buying a new listing.
ARPL increased by 21% year-on-year, driven by more agents recommending and more sellers choosing our value-added services. With three out of four sellers now selecting Hemnet Plus, Premium or Max, this highlights the strength of our offering and that our customers see clear value in investing for visibility and impact. Our newest package, Hemnet Max, is a natural next step for sellers seeking maximum exposure and is already performing strongly. In Stockholm, properties advertised with Hemnet Max between April and August received 72% more traffic and a more than 50% higher bid premium than those advertised with Hemnet Premium.
On the B2B side, revenues from agents and, in particular, property developers increased during the quarter. We have intensified our efforts to strengthen relationships with these groups, our most important partners, through closer dialogue and increased interaction. These efforts are now delivering
results, and we see great potential to build even stronger and more value-creating partnerships going forward.
New strategic product initiatives strengthen Hemnet's role throughout the sales process
Our data shows that listings visible on Hemnet from the start have a higher chance of a successful sale, with homes published as Upcoming on Hemnet on average selling five days faster than those listed directly as For Sale.
To help sellers and agents fully leverage Hemnet's potential, we are working on several strategic product initiatives. One of these is a pilot project launched on October 1, where we are testing the option for home sellers to pay only when, and if, the property is sold. We believe this commercial model can lower the threshold for sellers to advertise on Hemnet from start, while also aligning payment timing with how real estate agents receive their commission.
In parallel, we intend to offer all franchisors and brand owners that want to recommend Hemnet as a partner throughout the sales process the opportunity to enter into a strategic partnership agreement. The "pay only upon sale" model will form part of these collaborations, which are planned to roll out during 2026.
Together these initiatives aim to help home sellers and agents fully realise the value of Hemnet. At the same time, they enable Hemnet to better reflect the actual supply of properties on the market – in line with our vision to increase efficiency, transparency, and mobility in the housing market.
Accelerating innovation and building Hemnet's future
We continue to accelerate the pace of our product innovation. During the quarter, we made it easier for Hemnet visitors to share and engage with our content, improved our CRM functionality to strengthen consumer communication, and launched a partnership with Hitta.se, where both our listings and valuation tool are now integrated. In the near term, we
will launch Hemnet Insights, a new analytics tool providing agents with valuable market data as part of their Hemnet Business subscription. At the beginning of next year, we will also launch an enhanced offering for property developers.
Furthermore, our increased marketing investments during the year have begun to deliver clear results. We are seeing positive developments in key brand metrics, with spontaneous brand awareness and brand preference improving by 11 and 8 percentage points respectively yearon-year.
At the same time, according to Orvesto's survey data covering May to August 2025, Hemnet remains Sweden's third largest commercial website, reaching close to 2 million unique visitors per week with a slight year-on-year increase of 0.4 percent. This is particularly encouraging given the weaker market conditions
Although the market remains challenging, we continue to act decisively – faster, smarter, and with a continued focus on innovation. Through this, we are strengthening Hemnet's position for the benefit of buyers, sellers, and agents alike.

Financial summary, July-September 2025
Net sales decreased slightly, from a decrease in number of published listings. Strong growth of value added services contributed to a high increase in average revenue per published listing (ARPL). EBITDA decreased 5.9 per cent to SEK 195.4 (207.6) million.
Net sales and profit
Net sales decreased by 1.5 per cent and amounted to SEK 366.7 (372.1) million. Net sales from property sellers decreased by 1.9 per cent to SEK 311.8 (318.0) million. The number of published listings decreased by 19.2 per cent compared to the same quarter last year. Approximately four percentage points of the volume decline was attributed to a new business rule, allowing sellers to change real estate agents without buying a new listing. Sales of value-added services for property sellers continued to grow, with growth in revenues with Hemnet Premium being a major driver. This, combined with price adjustments, led to a 20.9 per cent increase in ARPL to SEK 7,477 (6,183).
Net sales from B2B-customers increased by 1.5 per cent to SEK 54.9 (54.1) million. Revenue from value-added services to agents and property developers increased, while revenue from other advertisers decreased due to lower display sales.
Capitalised development expenditure for own staff amounted to SEK 3.7 (1.2) million and related to continued investments in product development. Investments were made in new system for marketing and analytics, as well as new products for property sellers. A total of SEK 6.2 (2.9) million was capitalised during the quarter, including consultants.
Other external expenses increased by 9.7 per cent and amounted to SEK 131.7 (120.1) million. Of other external expenses, SEK 96.3 (93.5) million related to administration and commission compensation to real estate agents, which increased by 3.0 per
cent following higher commission levels, as more real estate agents are successfully recommending our VAS (Value Added Services) products. The remainder increased by 33.1 per cent to SEK 35.4 (26.6) million, mainly related to higher costs for marketing and consultants.
Staff costs decreased by 5.3 per cent to SEK 43.3 (45.7) million following the reversal of a bonus accrual related to 2025. However, personnel costs excluding this reversal increased by 6.3 per cent to SEK 48.6 (45.7) million, driven by salary inflation and an increased number of employees.
EBITDA decreased by 5.8 per cent to SEK 195.4 (207.6) million, corresponding to an EBITDA margin of 53.3 (55.8) per cent. The EBITDA margin decreased with 2.5 pp. This is mainly driven by the decrease in number of published listings leading to lower net sales and lower coverage of fixed costs.
Depreciation and amortisation totalled SEK 24.1 (21.9) million, of which amortisation of intangible assets, mainly related to the acquisition of Hemnet, amounted to SEK 20.2 (18.4) million and depreciation of right-of-use assets amounted to SEK 3.1 (2.8) million.
Operating profit decreased by 7.8 per cent to SEK 171.3 (185.7) million, corresponding to an operating margin of 46.7 (49.9) per cent.
Net financial items totalled negative SEK 4.5 (7.5) million reflecting lower interest rates and a renegotiated credit facility. The interest expense on bank loans was SEK 4.2 (7.0) million.
The tax expense for the period amounted to SEK 34.4 (36.8) million and corresponds to an effective tax rate of 20.6 (20.7) per cent.
Profit after tax for the period fell by SEK 9.0 million to SEK 132.4 (141.4) million.

The year-on-year improvement was mainly due to timing of payments from payment providers. Tax paid during the quarter amounted to SEK -34.6 (-37.9) million.
Cash flow from investing activities amounted to SEK -6.6 (-3.2) million and relates mainly to capitalised expenditure on product development, SEK -6.2 (-2.9) million, as well as SEK -0.4 (-0.3) million in investments in tangible assets.
Cash flow from financing activities amounted to SEK -101.9 (-102.5) million, mainly due to share buy-backs of SEK -148.7 million and a net increase in the credit facility of SEK 50.0 million. Amortisation of lease liabilities resulted in a cash flow of SEK -3.2 million.
Cash and cash equivalents amounted to SEK 195.6 (111.7 as of 31 December 2024) million and total interest-bearing liabilities amounted to SEK 622.5 (503.6) million. Net debt thus amounted to SEK 426.9 (391.9) million, which corresponds to 0.5 (0.5) times rolling twelve-month EBITDA.

Financial summary, January-September 2025
Net sales increased, despite a decrease in number of published listings. Strong growth of value-added services contributed to a high increase in average revenue per published listing (ARPL). EBITDA increased 12.9 per cent to SEK 613.8 (543.5) million.
Net sales and profit
Net sales increased by 14.4 per cent and amounted to SEK 1,178.7 (1,030.5) million. Net sales from property sellers increased by 17.2 per cent to SEK 1,017.3 (868.1) million. The number of published listings decreased by 10.1 per cent compared to the same period last year. Sales of value-added services for property sellers continued to grow, with revenue from Hemnet Premium as a major driver. This, combined with price adjustments for all products, led to a 29.8 per cent increase in ARPL to SEK 7,613 (5,865).
Net sales from B2B-customers decreased by 0.6 per cent to SEK 161.4 (162.4) million. Increased revenue from value-added services for agents was offset by an overall decline in display advertising revenue, mainly due to a continued cautious market.
Capitalised development expenditure for own staff amounted to SEK 12.1 (7.8) million and related to continued investments in product development. Investments were made in new system for marketing and analytics, new products for property sellers. A total of SEK 17.9 (16.8) million was capitalised during the period, including consultants.
Other external expenses increased by 20.5 per cent and amounted to SEK 415.4 (334.7) million. Of other external expenses, SEK 307.6 (260.8) million related to administration and commission compensation to real estate agents, which
increased by 17.9 per cent following increased revenue from property sellers. The remainder increased by 28.5 per cent to SEK 107.8 (83.9) million, mainly related to higher costs for marketing, licenses and consultants.
Staff costs increased by 7.3 per cent to SEK 161.5 (150.5) million, mainly due to salary inflation, an increased number of employees, and several effects of organisational changes made during 2024.
EBITDA increased by 12.9 per cent to SEK 613.8 (543.5) million, corresponding to an EBITDA margin of 52.1 (52.7) per cent. The EBITDA margin decreased with 0.6 pp. The lower margin is mainly driven by a decrease in number of published listings (-10.1).
Depreciation and amortisation totalled SEK 69.8 (63.3) million, of which amortisation of intangible assets, mainly related to the acquisition of Hemnet, amounted to SEK 58.4 (52.9) million and depreciation of right-of-use assets amounted to SEK 9.2 (8.5) million.
Operating profit increased by 13.3 per cent to SEK 544.0 (480.2) million, corresponding to an operating margin of 46.2 (46.6) per cent.
Net financial items amounted to a negative SEK 14.2 (23.1) million, reflecting on lower interest rates and a renegotiated credit facility. Interest expense on bank loans totalled SEK 13.6 (21.6) million.
The tax expense for the period amounted to SEK 109.5 (94.6) million and corresponds to an effective tax rate of 20.7 (20.7) per cent.

Financial summary, January-September 2025
Cash flow and financial position
Cash flow from operating activities increased by SEK 96.5 million and amounted to SEK 523.7 (427.2) million. The change in working capital in the period was a positive SEK 31.8 (-11.3) million. This year-on-year improvement was due to a combination of factors, primarily the timing of payments from customers and payment providers, and a slower growth in compensation payables to property agents. Tax paid during the period amounted to SEK -106.6 (-83.3) million.
Cash flow from investing activities amounted to SEK -19.8 (-18.0) million and relates mainly to capitalised expenditure on product development, SEK -17.9 (-16.8) million, as well as SEK -1.9 (-1.2) million in investments in tangible assets.
Cash flow from financing activities amounted to SEK -420.0 (-366.7) million, mainly due to paid dividend of SEK -161.6 million, share buy-backs of SEK -409.0 million and a net increase in the credit facility of SEK 130.0 million. During the period, Hemnet refinanced and extended its credit facility until May 2028. Other than a decrease in the interest margin, the refinancing has not implied any material changes to covenants or other terms. Amortisation of lease liabilities resulted in a cash flow of SEK -9.4 million.
Cash and cash equivalents amounted to SEK 195.6 (111.7 as of 31 December 2024) million and total interest-bearing liabilities amounted to SEK 622.5 (503.6) million. Net debt thus amounted to SEK 426.9 (391.9) million, which corresponds to 0.6 (0.5) times rolling twelve-month EBITDA.
Equity amounted to SEK 1,229.2 (1,248.7) million, corresponding to an equity-to-assets ratio of 49.8 (56.9) per cent.
Parent company, financial development January-September
The parent company's net sales amounted SEK 11.4 (5.6) million, all of which relates to intra-group services to other Group companies. The operating result amounted to SEK -8.8 (-10.6) million.
The parent company's assets consist mainly of shares in subsidiaries and receivables from other group companies.
Financing consists of equity, bank loans and liabilities to Group companies. Equity at the end of the period amounted to SEK 633.5 (1,215.5 as of 31 December 2024) million and the equityto-assets ratio was 52.3 (71.3) per cent.

Other information
Current macro environment
There are a number of macro factors that can have an impact on Hemnet financial results. During the period geopolitical tension and US trade actions have contributed to increased uncertainty concerning the world economy. The market uncertainty and a slower market have affected property transactions with less new published listings. The market uncertainty also affects Hemnets B2B customers who are reviewing their cost spend.
Employees
The number of employees at the end of the period was 165 compared to 152 at the end of December 2024. The increase mainly relates to the area of product development.
Repurchase and holding of treasury shares
The Annual General Meeting 2025 authorized the Board of Directors to cancel 1,209,261 shares repurchased in 2024- 2025, 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) per cent of all shares in the Company at any time after the acquisition. The maximum amount for repurchases during the period shall be SEK 600 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 2026 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.
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. Hemnet also have B2B customers that invest in different value added services or display advertising. 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 2024, page 60-62. Hemnet's assessment is that no other significant risks or uncertainties have arisen during the period.

Introduction
We have reviewed the condensed interim report for Hemnet Group AB (publ) as of September 30, 2025 and for the nine months 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 Swedish 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 the International Standard on Review Engagements, ISRE 2410 Review of Interim Financial Statements Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity. A review 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 standards in Sweden. The procedures performed in a review do 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, in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act regarding the Group, and in accordance with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act regarding the Parent Company.
