2023 was a solid year for Pandox, with good development in both occupancy and average price. Total revenue and total net operating income increased by 21 and 13 percent respectively compared with 2022. This was driven by higher revenue-based rents in the Leases business segment and good growth in the Own Operations business segment. Adjusted for pandemic-related government assistance in the comparison period, total net operating income increased by 22 percent.

The year concluded with a stable and positive fourth quarter in which there was good demand in regional hotel markets in all countries and strong recovery in larger cities. Total revenue and net operating income increased by 13 and 12 percent respectively during the quarter.

Cash earnings decreased by 19 percent, which is explained by higher market interest rates and higher-than-normal current tax in the quarter, above all due to the fact that we are in a tax position in Sweden and Norway, and also due to negative effects of rules limiting deductible interest.

In 2023 we invested just over MSEK 900 in projects that increase value and drive cash flow. The combination of a large property portfolio and the ability to create attractive and profitable hotel products make us a natural partner for new leases. Two examples in the fourth quarter are the lease with Strawberry for Hotel Mayfair Copenhagen, which will be renamed Hobo Copenhagen once renovation is completed in 2025, and with Scandic for the already renovated Hotel Pomander in Nuremburg, which will become Scandic Nürnberg Central on 1 March 2024.

Two additional, relatively new leases are Scandic Go Fridhemsplan and Citybox Brussels, which are currently being renovated and will open in late summer 2024. Combined with ongoing product development for Radisson Blu Glasgow and the expansion of DoubleTree by Hilton Brussels City, with completion expected in 2025, these projects will increase our potential for growth and profitability. They will also make positive contributions to our earnings and value growth, with full effect in 2026 equivalent to around MSEK 300 in annual net operating income, of which around MSEK 130 in 2024. Other projects will also contribute further to our growth.

During the fourth quarter we extended 18 leases with Leonardo Hotels in Germany for five years. This has increased the weighted average unexpired lease term (WAULT) of our total hotel portfolio to 15.0 years.

In 2023 unrealised changes in value for the whole property portfolio amounted to MSEK -1,685 net. The higher cash flow for hotel properties – supported by good development in the hotel market – offset more than two thirds of the negative effect of higher valuation yields. As of 31 December 2023 the hotel property portfolio's average valuation yield was 6.24 percent, compared with 5.74 percent on the same date in 2022.

Our banking partners have a high level of confidence in us and our refinancing risk is low. Around 25 percent of our credit facilities have a maturity of less than one year and just under two thirds of these will mature in the second quarter of 2024. We have ongoing and positive discussions with lenders regarding refinancing. At the end of the quarter our loan-to-value ratio was 46.6 percent, which is at the lower end of the range in our Financial Policy, and our interest coverage ratio measured on a rolling 12-month basis was 2.7.

Pandox's science-based climate targets were validated in November by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). This is an important milestone for sustainability and puts the focus on the areas that drive Pandox's most substantial CO2 emissions. We have a clear plan for reaching our climate target for Scope 1 and 2. The plan is based on phasing out gas and oil, on installation of energy-efficient systems and on increasing the percentage of renewable energy within the Own Operations segment. With the help of the validated SBTi targets, in December we sustainability-linked existing bank loans equivalent to MSEK 2,200 with two banks. The loans are linked to ambitious and relevant environmental, social and governance targets and they are evidence of the quality of our sustainability work. We see good potential to sustainability-link the majority of our bank loans over time.

For 2024 we anticipate some RevPAR growth in the hotel market, supported among other things by a strong event calendar in Germany, with the UEFA European Championship in June–July, and stable market conditions in other markets. Bookings in Pandox's markets are up to now slightly higher than at the same time the previous year. Lower inflation and hopefully also lower interest rates should have a positive effect on household consumption, and should also be able to lessen the effects of a potentially weakened labour market and lower employment.

Hotel demand is dependent on economic activity and the most significant risk is still the consequences of geopolitical issues impacting the economy and travel, which has not yet materialised. The date of Easter is expected to have a certain negative impact in some markets in the first quarter.

Based on a normalised hotel market and on Pandox's strong cash flows and stable financial position, the Board of Directors is proposing a dividend of SEK 4.00 (2.50) per share, equivalent to a total of around MSEK 734 (460).

Pandox's vision is to be a world-leading hotel property company.

The business concept is to own hotel properties and lease them to strong hotel operators under long-term revenue-based leases. Pandox's ability to act throughout the hotel value chain reduces risk and creates business opportunities.

Pandox's strategy and business model is based on:

    1. Focus on hotel properties
    1. Large hotel properties in strategic locations 3. Long-term revenue-based lease agreements with
  • the best hotel operators and shared investments
    1. Sustainability with a business focus
    1. Geographical diversification to limit fluctuations
    1. Operating our own hotels reduces risk

Loan-to-value ratio

Pandox's loan-to-value ratio shall be in the interval 45–60 percent, depending on the market environment and the opportunities that exist. The Company defines loan-tovalue ratio as interest-bearing liabilities less cash and cash equivalents as a percentage of the market value of the properties at the end of the period.

Dividend policy

Pandox's target is a dividend pay-out ratio of 30–50 percent of cash earnings, with an average pay-out ratio over time of around 40 percent. Future dividends and the size of any such dividends depend on Pandox's future performance, financial position, cash flows and working capital requirements.

Pandox will present the year-end report January-December 2023 to investors, analysts and the media in a conference call webcast on 8 February at 08:30 CET. As a service to Pandox's stakeholders there will also be an external update on the hotel market.

Annual General Meeting 2024 10 April 2024 Interim report January-March 2024 25 April 2024 Interim report January-June 2024 12 July 2024 Interim report January-September 2024 24 October 2024 Year-end report 2024 6 February 2025

2023 was another year of recovery for the hotel industry, with good demand in all segments, high willingness to pay the cost of hotel nights and above all increased international travel. According to preliminary figures from the United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO), there were around 550 million incoming international tourists to Europe in 2023. This was around 94 percent of the 2019 level and a clear improvement on the 2022 level of 80 percent*. The recovery in international tourism was the strongest in the second half of the year, mainly driven by intraregional travel and good demand from North America, in part supported by a strong dollar exchange rate. International travel in 2024 is expected to have fully recovered to 2019 levels despite geopolitical instability and lower economic activity.

The fourth quarter mainly followed normal demand patterns, with increased business travel compensating for a seasonally weaker leisure travel period. International demand from North America to Europe was strong in the fourth quarter too, while the recovery for Asian incoming travel was still slow.

  • Average price development in Europe was good, increasing by 6 percent for the quarter compared with the previous year (2019: +30 percent).
  • Occupancy was 68 percent for the quarter compared with 66 percent the previous year (2019: 70 percent).
  • Altogether RevPAR in Europe amounted to EUR 94 for the quarter, an increase of just over 8 percent on the previous year (2019: +25 percent).

Compared with the previous year, several of Pandox's hotel markets saw ever stronger year-on-year figures, especially in terms of occupancy rates.

  • Occupancy in the Nordics was 57 percent, which is on a par with the corresponding period the previous year (2019: 58 percent).
  • The average price for the Nordics as a whole exceeded both the levels of 2022 and 2019 by 3 and 16 percent respectively.
  • In the Nordics, Denmark and Norway saw the strongest average price increase, with 4 and 5 percent respectively compared with 2022 (2019: +15 and +29 percent respectively).
  • Development was positive overall for the Nordic capitals, with RevPAR growth of 6 percent compared with the same quarter the previous year, driven by both improved average prices and occupancy. Helsinki remained the weakest market, partly explained by new hotel capacity and partly by lower demand compared with the other Nordic capitals.
  • Copenhagen was the strongest among the Nordic capitals, with RevPAR growth of 11 percent, compared with the corresponding quarter in 2022, steadily driven by increased average prices and occupancy. Demand for hotel nights in Copenhagen increased by 21 percent compared with 2019, but due to the capacity increase in recent years of around 4,300 hotel rooms, RevPAR only reached 5 percent above the 2019 level.
  • In Germany RevPAR increased by 5 percent in the quarter, mainly driven by increased occupancy in December. This is explained by increased leisure travel to destinations with large Christmas markets, and by the fact that trade fair and congress-related demand has increased in general. The number of visitors to trade fairs and congresses in Germany has not, however, fully returned to 2019 levels, although additional growth is expected in 2024.
  • UK Regional (excluding London) developed well during the quarter, with a RevPAR increase of 6 percent compared with 2022, entirely driven by improved average prices. London and Edinburgh saw the strongest growth in occupancy in 2023, which is explained by international demand returning with full force.
  • RevPAR for Ireland decreased by 1 percent during the quarter, with a 5 percent decrease in Dublin. This was driven in equal measure by average price and occupancy. Ireland and Dublin are typical examples of markets that saw a rapid improvement after the pandemic and now faced a strong comparison quarter. Compared with 2019, Dublin showed an increase in RevPAR by a strong 23 percent.
  • Brussels also benefitted from increased international travel, especially from North America. RevPAR increased by 9 percent compared with 2022 during the quarter, mainly explained by improved average prices but also to some extent by increased occupancy.

The Group's net sales amounted to MSEK 1,838 (1,623), an increase of 13 percent driven by good demand in the hotel market. For comparable units, net sales increased by 8 percent, adjusted for currency effects.

Revenue from Leases amounted to MSEK 928 (848), an increase of 9 percent, supported by increased revenue-based rent amounting to a total of MSEK 324 (286). For comparable units, revenue increased by 7 percent, adjusted for currency effects.

Revenue from Own Operations amounted to MSEK 910 (775), an increase of 17 percent. For comparable units, revenue increased by 8 percent and RevPAR by 7 percent, adjusted for currency effects.

Net operating income from Leases amounted to MSEK 769 (698), an increase of 10 percent. For comparable units, net operating income increased by 7 percent, adjusted for currency effects.

Net operating income from Own Operations amounted to MSEK 220 (184), an increase of 20 percent. For comparable units, net operating income from Own Operations increased by 5 percent, adjusted for currency effects.

Total net operating income amounted to MSEK 989 (882), an increase of 12 percent. For comparable units, total net operating income increased by 7 percent, adjusted for currency effects.

Central administration costs amounted to MSEK -53 (-59).

Depreciation within Own Operations amounted to MSEK -72 (-141). The comparison quarter includes MSEK -66 for disposal of equipment in connection with reconstruction. Depreciation of MSEK -6 (-6) is included in administration costs.

Financial expense amounted to MSEK -381 (-297), of which MSEK -22 (-21) consists of accrued depreciation of capitalised loan arrangement fees. The increase is mainly explained by higher market interest rates and to a lesser extent by increased credit margins.

Financial income amounted to MSEK 5 (8). Financial expense associated with right-of-use assets amounted to MSEK -28 (-26).

Unrealised changes in property values amounted to MSEK -339 (-67). The increased valuation yield had a negative impact of MSEK -1,565, while the hotel market's continued good average price development contributed to increased cash flow of MSEK 1,243 through Pandox's revenue-based leases. Altogether this represented a value decrease of 0.5 percent during the period.

Realised changes in value amounted to MSEK -3 (1).

Unrealised changes in value of derivatives amounted to MSEK -1,236 (-59), which is explained by lower long-term market interest rates.

Current tax amounted to MSEK -137 (-24). The increase in current tax compared with the previous year is explained by higher pre-tax profit in Sweden and Norway where Pandox has no tax loss carryforwards from previous years left to utilise. The prevailing interest rate climate is resulting in even higher tax expense due to the rules in place limiting deductible interest, especially in the UK.

Deferred tax amounted to MSEK 127 (-117), explained by changes in value of Investment Properties and recognition of the tax loss carryforwards of previous years. See also Note 3 on page 21.

Profit for the period amounted to -1,125 (101) and profit for the period attributable to the Parent Company's shareholders amounted to MSEK -1,112 (121), which is equivalent to SEK -6.05 (0.66) per share.

On 31 December 2023 cash and cash equivalents and unutilised credit facilities amounted to MSEK 3,147, compared with MSEK 2,988 as of 30 September 2023.

The Group's net sales amounted to MSEK 6,849 (5,654), an increase of 21 percent. For comparable units, net sales increased by 16 percent, adjusted for currency effects.

Revenue from Leases amounted to MSEK 3,690 (3,307), an increase of 12 percent, supported by increased revenue-based rent amounting to a total of MSEK 1,275 (1,020). Adjusted for government assistance of MSEK 117 included in "Other property revenue" in the comparison period for the years 2020–2021, the increase was 16 percent. For comparable units, revenue increased by 11 percent, adjusted for currency effects.

Revenue from Own Operations amounted to MSEK 3,159 (2,347), an increase of 35 percent. For comparable units, both revenue and RevPAR increased by 24 percent, adjusted for currency effects.

Net operating income from Leases amounted to MSEK 3,157 (2,868), an increase of 10 percent. For comparable units, net operating income increased by 11 percent, adjusted for currency effects.

Net operating income from Own Operations amounted to MSEK 713 (566), an increase of 26 percent. Adjusted for government assistance of MSEK 143 as a cost reduction in the comparison period for the years 2020–2021, the increase was 69 percent. For comparable units, net operating income increased by 54 percent, adjusted for currency effects.

Total net operating income amounted to MSEK 3,870 (3,434), an increase of 13 percent. Adjusted for government assistance in the comparison period, the increase was 22 percent. For comparable units, net operating income increased by 16 percent, adjusted for currency effects.

Central administration costs amounted to MSEK -197 (-153), where the comparison period was impacted by cost-reducing, non-recurring items and the current level is more normal given the present structure of the business.

Depreciation within Own Operations amounted to MSEK -283 (-330). The comparison quarter includes MSEK -66 for disposal of equipment in connection with reconstruction. Depreciation of MSEK -23 (-23) is included in administration costs.

Financial expense amounted to MSEK -1,498 (-1,022), of which MSEK -90 (-76) consists of accrued depreciation of capitalised loan arrangement fees. The increase is mainly explained by higher interestbearing net debt, higher market interest rates and negative currency effects, and to a lesser extent by increased credit margins.

Financial income amounted to MSEK 31 (19). Financial expense associated with right-of-use assets amounted to MSEK -108 (-95).

Unrealised changes in property values amounted to MSEK -1,306 (1,185), of which MSEK -1,294 for Investment Properties, MSEK -84 for Operating Properties and MSEK 71 for assets held for sale. The increased valuation yield had a negative impact of MSEK -4,609, while the hotel market's continued good average price development contributed to increased cash flow of MSEK 3,316 through Pandox's revenue-based leases. Altogether this represented a value decrease of approximately 2.2 percent during the period.

Realised changes in property values amounted to MSEK 199 (-6), two thirds of which is a capital gain in connection with the sale of InterContinental Montreal and the remainder is the net amount of the disposal of and insurance compensation received for Dorint Parkhotel Bad Neuenahr.

Unrealised changes in value of derivatives amounted to MSEK -1,205 (2,318), mainly explained by lower long-term market interest rates.

Current tax amounted to MSEK -375 (-164). The increase in current tax compared with the previous year is explained by higher pre-tax profit in Sweden and Norway where Pandox has no tax loss carryforwards from previous years left to utilise. The prevailing interest rate climate is resulting in even higher tax expense due to the rules in place limiting deductible interest, especially in the UK.

Deferred tax amounted to MSEK 292 (-983), explained by changes in value of Investment Properties. See also Note 3 on page 21.

Profit for the period amounted to MSEK -580 (4,204) and profit for the period attributable to the Parent Company's shareholders amounted to MSEK -585 (4,217) which is equivalent to SEK -3.18 (22.94) per share.

Cash earnings amounted to MSEK 1,742 (2,056), a decrease of 15 percent. Adjusted for government assistance totalling MSEK 260 for the comparison period, cash earnings decreased by 3 percent.

Pandox performs internal valuation of its hotel properties each quarter and Investment Properties are recognised at fair value. The property values are based on Pandox's internal valuation. External valuation of the properties is also conducted for comparative and quality purposes (see also Note E in Pandox's 2022 Annual Report).

Over the past twelve months, external valuations were performed for around 90 percent of the hotel properties and are in total in line with the internal valuations, measured in value. External valuations were performed in the fourth quarter for around 40 percent of Pandox's hotel property portfolio, measured in value.

The value of Operating Properties is reported for disclosure purposes only and is included in EPRA NRV calculations.

At the end of the period, Pandox's property portfolio had a total market value of MSEK 69,039 (69,231), of which Investment Properties accounted for MSEK 57,226 (57,563) and Operating Properties for MSEK 11,813 (11,669).

For the full year 2023, unrealised changes in value of Investment Properties amounted to MSEK -1,294 net. The increased valuation yield of 0.51 percentage points had a negative impact of MSEK -4,609, while the hotel market's continued good average price development contributed to increased cash flow of MSEK 3,316 through Pandox's revenue-based leases.

Unrealised changes in the value of Operating Properties amounted to MSEK -391 net (reported for disclosure purposes only). The increased valuation yield of 0.52 percentage points had a negative impact of MSEK -604 and increased cash flows had a positive impact of MSEK 213.

In the period January–December 2023, investments in property, plant and equipment, excluding acquisitions, amounted to MSEK 922 (863), of which MSEK 493 (432) was for Investment Properties and MSEK 429 (431) for Operating Properties.

At the end of the period, approved investments for ongoing and future projects amounted to around MSEK 1,600, of which around MSEK 950 is for projects that are expected to be completed in 2024.

The cost of maintenance in the fourth quarter of 2023 was MSEK 72 (55).

Pandox's sustainability work is aimed at promoting sustainable properties and operations and creating new business opportunities. The Company's overall sustainability goal is to offer tenants resource-efficient hotel properties that contribute to the UN Sustainable Development Goals, reduce climate impact and enable good management of climate risks.

Pandox has defined the most material sustainability topics and divided them into five focus areas:

    1. Environment and climate
    1. Responsible and fair business
    1. Guest satisfaction and security
    1. Attractive and equal workplace
    1. Inclusive local communities

Pandox Science Based Targets were validated by Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) in November 2023. The targets state that Pandox AB (publ) shall, until year 2030, reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 42 percent in Own Operations (Scope 1 and 2) and by 25 percent in Leases (Scope 3).

With the help of the validated SBTi targets, in December 2023 we were also, for the first time, able to sustainability-link existing bank loans equivalent to MSEK 2,200 with two banks. The loans are linked to ambitious and relevant environmental, social and governance targets and they are evidence of the quality of our sustainability work. We see good potential to sustainability-link the majority of our bank loans over time.

Pandox's goal is to create resource-efficient properties and operations that reduce the Group's environmental and climate footprint, but that can also handle climate change impacts in the form of torrential rain and a warmer climate.

In the third quarter of 2023 Pandox took the decision to invest MEUR 29 in a climate transition project for eight hotel properties in the Own Operations segment. Upon completion of the project in 2027 Pandox expects to reach the SBTi-validated emissions targets within Own Operations. The project will over time generate cost savings, which by the end of 2027 are expected to amount to MEUR 3 annually. The climate transition project consists of phasing out oil and gas, upgrading or replacing obsolete technical systems for energy optimisation, using renewable energy and changing behaviour.

The green investment programme previously started within Own Operations has been concluded according to plan. A total of around MEUR 7 was invested to lower climate impact through energy and water reducing projects and technology installations. The target is a reduction in energy, gas and water use of 35 percent, 25 percent and 20 percent respectively, and a 20 percent reduction in CO2 emissions. The expected financial return on the investment of 20 percent has so far been exceeded with a good margin.

  • As of 31 December 2023 the average repayment period was 2.3 (1.7) years, the average interest rate was 4.2 (3.2) percent and the average fixed interest period was 3.9 (2.7) years.
  • In the fourth quarter Pandox refinanced debt for a total of MSEK 1,527 with maturity of two to three years. For most of the debt there is an option to extend for an additional 2 years. In 2023 Pandox refinanced debt with a maturity of less than 12 months totalling around MSEK 15,337 changing to five-year maturity. Most of the loans are with international banks.
  • As of 31 December 2023, 25 percent of credit facilities have a maturity of less than 12 months, compared with 44 percent on the same date the previous year.
  • As of 31 December 2023 around 76 percent of Pandox's interest-bearing net debt was secured against interest rate movements for periods longer than one year and the average fixed interest on Pandox's interest-rate derivatives was 1.2 (0.5) percent

At the end of the period the loan-to-value net was 46.6 (46.7) percent. Equity attributable to the Parent Company's shareholders amounted to MSEK 29,573 (30,731). EPRA NRV amounted to MSEK 36,976 (37,694), equivalent to SEK 201.12 (205.03) per share. Cash and cash equivalents plus unutilised credit facilities amounted to MSEK 3,147 (4,489) and there are several unpledged properties with a value of approximately MSEK 3,300 in total. In addition, there are additional unutilised credit facilities that, at any given time, fully cover the issued volume under the Pandox commercial paper programme.

At the end of the period the loan portfolio amounted to MSEK 32,960 (33,964), excluding loan arrangement fees. Unutilised credit facilities, after deduction of commercial paper, amounted to MSEK 2,378 (2,859) and the volume issued under the commercial paper programme amounted to MSEK 816 (699). Commercial paper is only used to optimise Pandox's financial cost via interest rate arbitrage.

Commercial paper aside, all Pandox's debt financing is bank financing only with loans secured by a combination of mortgage collateral and pledged shares. Pandox has a geographically diversified lender base consisting of 14 Nordic and international banks, and AMF Tjänstepension AB.

Per 31 December 2023, the average repayment period was 2.3 (1.7) years and the average interest rate level, including effects from interest-rate derivatives, but excluding accrued arrangement fees, was 4.2 (3.2) percent, which also is a reasonable approximation for the expected level at the end of the first quarter 2024, given unchanged market rates. The increase in the average interest rates is mainly explained by higher market rates. At the end of the period the interest cover ratio (measured on rolling twelve months) was 2.7 times.

Short-term credit facilities maturing in less than twelve months amount to MSEK 8,760, of which MSEK 5,490 matures in second half of 2024.

In 2023, Pandox's refinancing transactions have amounted to a total corresponding amount of around MSEK 15,337, of which the majority with international banks with a five-year tenor.

To reduce the currency exposure in foreign investment Pandox's aim is to finance the investment in local currency. Equity is normally not hedged as Pandox's strategy is to have a long investment perspective. Currency exposures are largely in form of currency translation effects.

Pandox's bank financing is with variable interest rate. In order to manage interest rate risk and increase the predictability of Pandox's earnings, interest rate derivatives are used.

Per 31 December 2023, the gross nominal volume of interest rate derivatives amounted to MSEK 31,842, including forward starting swaps. At the same time, the nominal volume of interest rate derivatives amounted to MSEK 24,504 net. The net volume is the portion of Pandox's loan portfolio for which interest rates are hedged.

Approximately 76 percent of Pandox's net debt was thereby hedged against interest rate movements for periods longer than one year and the average fixed rate period was 3.9 (2.7) years.

The market value of the derivatives portfolio is measured on each closing date, with the change in value recognised in profit or loss. Upon maturing, the market value of a derivative contract is dissolved entirely and the change in value over time thus does not affect equity.

At the end of the period, the net market value of Pandox's financial derivatives amounted to MSEK 1,055 (2,261).

No significant change has taken place in any disputes and insurance cases commented on previously.

At the end of the period, Pandox had the equivalent of 1,442 (1,226) fulltime employees, based on number of worked hours translated to fulltime employees. Of the total number of employees, 1,393 (1,179) are employed in the Own Operations segment and 49 (47) in the Leases' segment and in central administration.

Administration for activities within Pandox's property owning companies is provided by staff employed by the Parent Company, Pandox AB (publ). Pandox's subsidiaries are invoiced for these services.

The Parent Company carries out transactions with subsidiaries in the Group. Such transactions mainly entail allocation of centrally incurred administration cost and interest relating to receivables and liabilities. All related party transactions are entered into on market terms.

Eiendomsspar AS owns 5.1 percent of 22 hotel properties in Germany and 9.9 percent of another hotel property in Germany. The acquisitions were made by Pandox in 2015, 2016 and 2019. Pandox has a management agreement regarding Pelican Bay Lucaya Resort in the Bahamas owned by affiliates of Helene Sundt AS and CGS Holding AS. During January–December 2023, revenue from Pelican Bay Lucaya amounted to MSEK 0.2 (0.6).

Pandox's general approach to business risk has not changed from the detailed account provided in the 2022 Annual Report. There is a risk that higher financing costs will lead to continued higher yield requirements. There is uncertainty about how geopolitical unrest and a weakened economy will impact hotel demand from companies and households.

The hotel industry is seasonal in nature. The periods during which the Company's properties experience higher revenues vary from property to property, depending principally upon the composition of demand and the hotel property's location. The second quarter is normally the strongest supported by high demand and willingness to pay from all sub-segments in the hotel market. Since most of the customers that stay at Pandox owned or operated hotels are business travellers, hotel demand is normally the weakest in the first quarter.

Pandox applies the European Securities and Market Authority's (ESMA) guidelines for Alternative Performance Measurements. The guidelines aim at making alternative Performance Measurements in financial reports more understandable, trustworthy and comparable and thereby enhance their usability. According to these guidelines, an Alternative Performance Measurement is a financial key ratio of past or future earnings development, financial position, financial result or cash flows which are not defined or mentioned in current legislation for financial reporting; IFRS and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. Reconciliations of Alternative Performance Measurements are available on pages 22–24.

At the end of the period, the total number of shares before and after dilution amounted to 75,000,000 A shares and 108,849,999 B shares. For the fourth quarter 2023 the weighted number of shares before and after dilution amounted to 75,000,000 A shares and 108,849,999 B shares.

Figures in brackets are from the corresponding period the previous year for profit/loss items and year-end 2022 for balance sheet items, unless otherwise stated.

Pandox AB (publ)'s annual general meeting 2024 will be held on 10 April 2024. Information about the annual general meeting and its procedures will be provided in the notice of the annual general meeting.

Pandox AB follows the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and interpretations (IFRIC), as adopted by the EU. This interim report has been prepared according to IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act.

The interim report for the Parent Company has been prepared in accordance with Chapter 9 Interim Reports of the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. The Parent Company applies the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and RFR2 Accounting principles for legal entities. Under RFR2 the parent company of a legal entity applies all EU approved IFRS principles and interpretations within the framework defined by the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and taking into consideration the connection between accounting and taxation.

Derivatives are measured at fair value according to Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy under IFRS, based on inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly.

The carrying amounts of interest-bearing liabilities and other financial instruments constitute a reasonable approximation of their fair values.

The interim financial statements are included on pages 1–26 and page 1–13 is thus an integrated part of this financial report.

The accounting principles applied are consistent with those described in Pandox's Annual Report for 2022.

The name changes of the business segments, indicated on page 1, does not affect the accounting principles.

Pandox's operating segments consist of the Leases and Own Operations business streams. The Leases segment owns, improves and manages hotel properties and provides external customers with premises for hotel operations, as well as other types of premises adjacent to hotel properties. The Own Operations segment owns hotel properties and operates hotels in such owned properties. The Own Operations segment also includes one hotel property under an asset management agreement.

Non-allocated items are any items that are not attributable to a specific segment or are common to both segments, and financial cost for right-ofuse assets according to IFRS 16. The segments have been established based on the reporting that takes place internally to executive management on financial outcomes and position. Segment reporting applies the same accounting principles as those used in the annual report in general, and the amounts reported for the segments are the same as those for the Group. Scandic Hotels Group and Fattal Hotels Group are tenants who account for more than 10 percent of revenues each.

For the fourth quarter and full-year 2023 revenue-based rent in Leases amounted to MSEK 324 (286) and MSEK 1,275 (1,020) respectively.

Current tax is calculated on the taxable profit for the period based on the tax rules applicable in the countries where the group operates. Since taxable profit excludes expenses that are not tax-deductible and income that is not taxable, this differs from the profit before tax in the income statement. Current tax also includes adjustments to current tax recognised in previous periods.

The Pandox group's average weighted average tax rate, calculated according to the statutory tax rate in each country, is approximately 24 percent. Pandox's largest markets are Germany, with an average tax rate of approximately 30 percent, and the UK, which per 1 April 2023 increased the tax rate to 25 percent from 19 percent, for financial years starting after 1 April 2023. The tax rate in Sweden is 20.6 percent.

At the end of the period, deferred tax assets amounted to MSEK 340 (305). This consists mainly of the carrying amount of tax loss carryforwards which the Company expects to be able to utilise in future financial years.

Deferred tax liabilities amounted to MSEK 5,270 (5,538) and relate mainly to temporary differences between fair value and the taxable value of investment properties, as well as temporary differences between the carrying amount and the taxable value of operating properties, and temporary measurement differences for interest rate derivatives.

A number of the financial descriptions and measures in this interim report provide information about development and status of financial and per share measurements that are not defined in accordance with the IFRS (International Financial Reporting Standards). Adjoining alternative financial measurements provides useful supplementary information to investors and management, as they facilitate evaluation of company performance. Since not all companies calculate financial measurements in the same manner, these are not always comparable to measurements used by other companies. Hence, these financial measures should not be seen as a substitute for measures defined according to the IFRS. Unless otherwise stated, the tables on pages 22–24 presents measures, along with their reconciliation, which are not defined according to the IFRS. The definitions of these measures appear on page 2 6 .

Pandox owns, manages and develops hotel properties and operates hotels. The level of risk -taking is expressed in a loan -to value ratio net of between 45 and 60 percent, depending on market development and the opportunities that exist. In addition to the loan -to -value ratio, interest cover ratio, average cost of debt and interest -bearing net debt are other relevant measurements of Pandox's financial risk.

Pandox's overall goal is to increase cash flow and property value and thereby enable Pandox to have the resources for investments to support the Group's continued expansion. Since Pandox both owns and operates hotel properties, multiple indicators are needed to measure the Company's performance in relation to goals in this regard. Growth in cash earnings is Pandox's primary focus and this is also the basis for the dividend paid annually to the shareholders, i.e. 30 –50 percent of cash earnings with an average payout ratio of approximately 40 percent over time. Measuring net operating income creates transparency and comparability between the Company's two operating segments and with other property companies. EBITDA measures Pandox's total operational profitability in a uniform way. 123

Net asset value (EPRA NRV) is the collective capital Pandox manages on behalf of its shareholders. Pandox measures long -term net asset value based on the balance sheet adjusted for items that will not yield any payments in the near future, such as derivatives and deferred tax liabilities. The market value of Operating Properties is included in the calculation. See also page 2 6 .

EPRA NRV is the long-term net asset value and is based on the balance sheet adjusted for items where there will be no payments made in the near future, such as goodwill, financial derivatives, deferred tax liability and surplus value of Operating Properties (see page 8 for more information). EPRA NTA is the same as long-term net asset value with the difference that goodwill not attributable to deferred tax is to be added back and that deferred tax can be assigned a market value taking into account how the entity has carried out real estate transactions in recent years. As Pandox has no goodwill, has a long-term investment horizon, and does not report estimated actual deferred tax, the value of NRV and NTA in Pandox's case is the same. EPRA NDV is net asset value according to equity in the balance sheet adjusted for goodwill (Pandox has no goodwill) and surplus value of Operating Properties.

EPRA LTV is a key ratio that shows interest-bearing net debt in relation to the total market value of the property portfolio and other available assets and is used to create comparability between property companies. EPRA LTV is essentially the same as Pandox's previous definition of loan-to-value ratio, with the only difference that net operating receivables and operating liabilities are included in the EPRA measurement. As Pandox has no associated companies or joint ventures, and as there are no minority interests that are material for the Company, no further adjustments are made. Adjustment compared with loan-to-value ratio reported thus far is net of the following short-term operating items: Tax assets, accounts receivable, other receivables, provisions, tax liabilities, accounts payable and other short-term liabilities.
