This report presents an overview of our 2023 results, our achievements and our progress.

Well positioned for the next phase

PPI regards ESG and sustainability as a key tool for enhancing shareholder value.

The year just ended was dominated by major changes in the macroeconomic climate. This naturally also had a significant impact on the property market, in the form of higher interest rates, tighter financial markets and a fall in the value of all types of property. Despite this, Public Property Invest (PPI) is well positioned for the next phase of development.

Financial confidence

Both in Norway and abroad, property companies are encountering a more demanding and cautious market. This makes it all the more satisfying to be able to confirm that PPI enjoys the trust of the financial markets and has good relations with our banks and finance providers. This is illustrated, for example, by the sustainabilitylinked bank facility of NOK 3.32 billion arranged with Nordea and Danske Bank in spring 2023.

Economic outlook

At the time of writing, the market is pricing in six interest rate cuts for 2024, while Norges Bank's interest rate path, which indicates that interest rates have peaked, is only signalling one interest rate cut. PPI expects this to result in lower financing costs and increased property values.

In September 2024, our bond loan of NOK 2.1 billion will mature. This is the company's absolutely highest priority. The board of directors is working closely with our banks and bondholders to find an optimal solution and is making good progress in identifying various options to weigh against each other.

Valuation of commercial property

In 2023, the group's properties developed in line with the rest of the commercial property market.

Establishment of the sustainability-linked bank facility of NOK 3.32 billion, which was entered into in spring 2023 with Nordea and Danske Bank.

PPI was certified as an "Environmental Lighthouse" just before the turn of the year.

The market proved challenging throughout the period and there were few transactions. Following a valuation peak from Q1 2022 of 8% above the cost price, at the end of the year Newsec and Cushman & Wakefield published independent valuations with a combined value of 14% under the cost price. However, we also know that commercial property values are closely linked to the interest rate market. Assuming expected developments, there are grounds to believe that the market will stabilise moving forward and that valuations will gradually rise.

ESG and sustainability

PPI regards ESG and sustainability as a key tool for enhancing shareholder

value. We have already shown that it is possible to source better financing through sustainable borrowing. In addition, this type of funding also commits us to modernising and updating our properties to meet future requirements and standards.

In 2024, we will launch a programme to help us meet the commitments we have made, which in turn will increase the attractiveness and value of our properties. Most importantly, it will reduce long-term operating costs, for both PPI as owner and our tenants. I am also proud to be able to announce that PPI was certified as an Eco-Lighthouse just before the year-end. This means that we are now accredited as a sustainable company, which will give us a further competitive edge when it comes to public-sector tenants. You can read more about sustinability and environmental certification in a separate section on page 26.

Leasing and development opportunities

In 2023 we achieved an occupancy rate of 95% for our available leased area of approximately 307 000 square metres. Some of our property leases expire in the coming years and we are taking active measures to either continue existing relationships through renegotiations or source new tenants. However, we have also identified major

At the end of the year, the group owned 48 properties and had established itself as a major player in Norway, with more than 110 public-sector tenants in 25 cities.

potential for rezoning and developing buildings and/or unoccupied spaces in some buildings. To this end, we are continually developing various strategies to reduce risk and optimise shareholder value. Our most important projects in this area are discussed in a separate section on page 30 of the annual report.

Key social actor

PPI was established in 2021 with a longterm strategy of owning, operating and developing socially beneficial property in Norway in a sustainable manner. The strategy is designed to attract reliable, long-term institutions with public-sector financing and the security that this brings. The portfolio mainly comprises socially beneficial property with public-sector tenants, in key cities in Norway. These buildings house socially critical functions such as police stations, law courts, public-health institutions and other public-sector offices.

Developing and running a large property company such as PPI is demanding. This makes us wholly reliant on professional and efficient organisation in all stages, from financing and leasing through to day-to-day operation of our buildings. Here I would in particular like to mention our excellent and productive partnership with Arctic and Arctic Real

Estate Management.

At the end of the year, the group owned 48 properties and had established itself as a major player in Norway, with more than 110 public-sector tenants in 25 cities. With 15 police stations and other important public-sector tenants in our portfolio, many of our properties are in operation 24/7. Each day, hundreds of service providers go out of their way to ensure that our tenants can fulfil their important social mandate. In total, we estimate that more than 18 000 people work in or visit our buildings each day.

To conclude, I am delighted to be able to confirm that PPI is well positioned for the next phase in our development.

Highlights

History and important events

2022

Whilst PPI spent most of the time on acquisitions and integrations in 2021 and first half of 2022, the time since have been dedicated to the operational side of the business. Efforts have been focused on streamlining portfolio management, identifying ESG initiatives and serving tenants and suppliers. Great attention has also been allocated to developing current properties, in line with the long-term value creation plan for the group.

First full year of operation

PPI recently attained certification as an Eco-Lighthouse (Miljøfyrtårn), Norway's most prevalent certification scheme for businesses striving to meet various environmental standards and exhibit exemplary social responsibility.

climate neutral within 2030

A milestone is the sustainability-linked bank facility of NOK 3.25 billion (as of December 31, 2023). The loan agreement is conditioned by requirements in terms of sustainable operation, energy usage and efficiency as well as monitoring of energy consumption.

PPI is committed, as part of the long-term strategy, to become climate neutral within 2030. Significant work and investment are put into this commitment to achieve the high standards of the ESG, with a particular focus on CO2 emissions, climate risk, biodiversity, and social responsibility.

How we build value

Our business strategy focuses on increasing PPI's value to improve returns for shareholders. We've pinpointed eight key areas that we believe will elevate the group's overall value, benefiting all shareholders. This increased value also builds a resilient and sustainable real estate company, aligning with the best interests of our tenants and the local community.

Acquire more properties to build size

Ensure cash flow by extending lease contracts

Preserve values and increase the standard of the properties

We are passionate about the quality of our buildings, and the experiences the buildings provide for their users. We are also passionate about the quality of our tenants. We believe that quality builds trust. Quality will always pay off in the long run!

(Calculations based on property value)

TENANT DIALOGUE

The company meets twice a year with each individual tenant in our portfolio. The purpose is to review any changed requirements and needs relating to the tenancy, and to clarify tenants' expectations of us as landlords. This provides a valuable insight into satisfaction levels among our tenants and helps ensure that the company develops in line with our tenants' expectations. The ultimate aim is to increase the likelihood of tenants renegotiating their lease when it expires.

TENANT SURVEY

PPI also takes part in an annual tenant survey through the NEMEET Customer Index. The survey asks tenants a range of questions on their satisfaction with their tenancy, the property, operation of common areas and their landlord.

The company takes the results of the survey into account when setting its goals for the next 12 months. These goals are intended to enable tenants

to experience a predictable working day and seamlessly communicate with their landlord. The aim is to increase tenant satisfaction throughout the lease term, and thereby secure a higher score for customer satisfaction, in turn facilitating stable, long-term tenant– landlord relations.

INCREASED SATISFACTION

Results from the 2023 survey show that PPI's relative position in the market has improved significantly from the previous year. The company is up three points in the CSI, while the market as a whole is down by three points. The company now has a score of 73, compared with a market average of 80. While this puts us "in the main ball park", the company acknowledges that active efforts are required to further improve the score. According to feedback, one particular area we need to reinforce moving forward is strengthening our communication with and visibility among tenants.

Tenant satisfaction

PPIs goal is to enhance communication with tenants leading to increased trust and strengthened relationships. The company intends to pursue this goal by:

Building the Company's brand.

Sharing information about what the company is doing that benefits the tenant, the property, and the environment.

Actively working on adjusting tenant expectations regarding price, standards, and deliveries.

Providing tenants with relevant information about the lease, the property, and daily operations.

Developing good, long-term relations with our tenants is one of PPI's most important policies. To achieve this, the company's operations team and managers maintain a close dialogue with tenants throughout the year.

Presence ensures understanding, seamless operation, expectation management, transparency, insight and access. We commit to think with both our heads and our hearts, by making sound choices with a clear conscience.

Lease agreements

We have a strong focus on increasing the cash flow and the weighted average unexpired lease term (WAULT) in the portfolio. The overview shows renegotiations and new lease agreements in 2023.

3.5 Average lease term ~19 Recurring annualized rent Gross area (sqm) 11 601

In 2023, seven existing lease agreements were successfully renegotiated, with 96% of rental income involving public tenants. The renegotiated agreements generate a total rental income of approximately 19 million over the lease duration. The average rent stands at NOK 1 620 per

square meter, with a weighted average lease term (WALT) of 3.5 years for these seven contracts. Furthermore, five new lease agreements were entered into during 2023, with 26% of rental income involving public tenants. These agreements, with an average rent of NOK 1 741 per square meter,

contribute with approximately NOK 4 million in additional rental income. The WALT for these new agreements is 11 years, positively impacting the portfolio's overall WAULT.

SUSTAINABILITY

climate neutral within 2030

Due to its size and provider of buildings for public tenants, the group carries a significant social responsibility, and has a responsibility for spearheading the transformation of the industry in which it operates. This means refurbishing the buildings it owns instead of building new ones, and ensuring that its tenants achieve their goals and that it has environmentally aware and sustainable minded tenants.

The group has three focus areas within sustainability; climate and environment, social sustainability, and financial sustainability.

Within the area of climate and environment, PPI has set a goal of all of its buildings being environmentally certified according to the group's sustainability strategy. The company was certified as an Eco-Lighthouse by the Eco-Lighthouse Foundation in December 2023.

The group aims to map energy consumption, water consumption and waste-sorting in all its buildings annually and continuously evaluating its progress in reducing such consumptions for each building. PPI uses an energy management system which automatically gathers data from electric, district heating and cooling meters to monitor these factors to establish the current status and progress.

The results are used to prepare an environmental strategy for each individual building, enables efficient management and usage, and prompt identification of any operational

errors related to the asset's technical equipment. External consultants are hired to establish which actions will produce the most sustainable solutions, as well as the best results in the short term. An overview of the group's properties' energy consumption is reflected in the illustration below.

KPIs

Based on the established baseline for our key KPIs, we have set targets for energy, water and waste for the next seven-year strategy period (2024–2030). The targets reflect the individual properties' business plans and realistic developments during the strategy period.

Specific energy consumption [kWh/sqm/year]

TARGET

PPI's board of directors has resolved that PPI must become a climate-neutral company within 2030. We will achieve this by continually reducing our properties' carbon footprint through measures relating to climate shells, technical facilities and energy supply.

Within the area of social sustainability, the group focuses diligently on ensuring good working conditions for its own as well as its partners' employees. PPI aims for its buildings to be located at places satisfactory to its tenants, and ensures that the buildings are designed to be attractive and accessible to everyone regardless of their needs, and provide high-quality

and health solutions in addition to high usability. The group facilitates user involvement and participation during the tenancy, and finds optimal solutions in close collaboration with each tenant. Furthermore, to comply with the Norwegian Transparency Act, the group has established a channel for whistleblowing and a code of conduct for all its partners.

Within financial sustainability, the group focuses on its buildings functioning as a strategic tool for its tenants. The group designs and tailors its buildings to serve as a tool to help its working tenants fulfil their social mandates.

Development – an important value driver

One of PPI's goals is to add value by continuously developing our properties. To optimise utilisation, the company has initiated a wide-ranging review to identify the portfolio's short- and long-term development potential.

POTENTIAL REVISED UPWARDS

Development of current properties is one of the strategies for increasing the value of the properties and the group. The group's team has prioritized properties where public regulatory processes provoke attention, as well as properties with shorter time to contract expiration. This work can include upgrades of existing buildings, extensions, or new construction within both commercial and residential sectors.

Throughout 2022 and 2023, the development potential for 40% of PPI's property portfolio has been surveyed. The conclusion is that up to 50 000 sqm of net potential is untapped, in addition there are currently three

development projects where the company has not yet clarified the development potential.

COMPETENT TEAM

PPI has a diverse and expert team to assist in all development projects. This enables us to tailor teams to suit each unique project.

As a starting point, we engage local architectural teams who are thoroughly familiar with the local conditions and the municipality in question. We believe that this benefits both us and the local environment. PPI has developed effective methodologies for new development projects, including the use of fixed templates, an evaluation system and financial

tools to enable us to work smart and cost-effectively.

The investment committee of the board provides recommendations for the board's approval, with the board serving as the ultimate decisionmaker.

SUSTAINABILITY FRONT AND CENTRE

It is vital to take sustainability into account in all types of property development – whether refurbishments or newbuilds. PPI has ESG advisers who help ensure optimal delivery of sustainable solutions. You can read more about this in the separate section on sustainability on page 26 of this report.

This policy is rooted in the principles of effective management and clear communication.

The three members contribute their perspectives and expertise, providing guidelines that frame the scope of action in various decision-making processes. This ensures that investment projects are thoroughly evaluated from different angles and that decisions align with the company's overarching strategy and goals.

We strive to provide accurate and timely information to support a fair assessment of our company.

Furthermore, as part of the group's overall ESG-strategy, the bank debt facility was established as a sustainabilitylinked facility in 2023, with certain targets of energy- usage and monitoring. The group will be rewarded by reduced credit margin in the event of met targets. Likewise, the credit margin increases should the targets not be met. Approximately 60% of the group's gross debt financing was sustainability-linked, and thus considered "green", as of 31 December, 2023.

As a first step, the group's debt financing strategy has been to use the bond market to enable swift and rapid growth. The following step has been to establish debt facility and great relationships with leading Nordic banks to secure attractive long-term financing. The latter was proven through the establishment of the group's debt facility of NOK 2.7 billion during the summer of 2022. The third step in the debt financing plan has been to refinance maturing bonds with bank debt. Said strategy was demonstrated in June 2023 where the group refinanced three maturing bonds of NOK 762 million with bank debt. The debt facility was then expanded by NOK 625 million from NOK 2.7 billion to 3.3 billion. The group's average interest rate as of 31 December, 2023 was 4.7%. The change in average interest rate mainly stems from higher market interest rates. As of 31 December, 2023, Public Property Invest's fixed interest rates amounted to NOK 3 901 million, equivalent to 71% of total outstanding interest-bearing debt. Average time to maturity of hedges and bonds with fixed interest rates was 2.1 years.

INTEREST RATES AND CORRESPONDING MATURITY STRUCTURE

Market interest rates increased substantially during 2023 where e.g. 3M NIBOR increased by 1.47 percentage points from 3.26% at year-end 2022 to 4.73% at year-end 2023. The group has a strategy of managing such interest rate risk through floating-to-fixed interest rate swaps and fixed rate bonds.

The group's financing is diversified between bank and senior secured bonds. The nominal interestbearing debt of NOK 5 529 million as of year-end has a maturity structure with a weighted average time to maturity of 1.2 years. During 2023, the group's interest-bearing debt decreased by NOK 203.5 million from NOK 5 733 million to NOK 5 529 million. The change in interest-bearing debt comprised a decrease in senior secured bonds of NOK 762 million and an increase of bank debt of NOK 625 million.

debt of approximately NOK 203.5 million in 2023. A sustainable-linked credit facility of NOK 3.32 billion has been established in collaboration with Nordea and Danske Bank. Bonds amounting to NOK 2.06 billion are set to mature in September 2024, a matter that the board has dedicated significant time to in 2023, with the intention of reaching a favorable resolution well ahead of the maturity date.

The group has actively worked to strategically position itself with tenants whose leases are about to expire. Seven existing lease agreements were successfully renegotiated in 2023, of which 96% involved public tenants.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

PPI successfully concluded Phase 4 by the end of June 2022, acquiring 7 new properties with rental income of NOK 100 million. The group did not acquire any new properties during 2023, making this the first year of full operations with properties from all four investment phases.

This means that the groups financials for 2023 are not directly comparable to those of 2022. The following financial review is based on the consolidated financial statements of Public Property Invest AS and its subsidiaries. The statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as adopted by the EU.

PROFIT AND LOSS

PPI had a total rental income of NOK 575 million in 2023, up from NOK 504 million in 2022. The significant shift beyond CPI-indexation of contracts from yearend 2022 to year-end 2023, is explained by the expansion of the property portfolio mid-2022.

Property expenses increased to NOK (75) million for the year ended December 31, 2023, compared to NOK (63) million in 2022. Administration expenses

decreased to NOK (31) million for the year ended December 31, 2023, from NOK (36) million in 2022. Net income from property management reached NOK 470 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, up from NOK 405 million for 2022.

Financial income increased to NOK 6 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, up from NOK 2 million in 2022. Financial expenses rose to NOK (278) million for the year ended December 31, 2023, compared to NOK (226) million in 2022. Changes in the fair value of interest derivatives resulted in a loss of NOK (25) million for the year ended December 31, 2023, contrasting with a gain of NOK 28 million in 2022. Changes in the fair value of investment properties showed a significant decrease by NOK (1,143) million for the year ended December 31, 2023, compared to NOK (913) million in 2022. The decrease in value of the properties was primarily attributable to a change in market conditions in 2023. Higher interest rates have impacted cost of capital adversely which is mirrored in higher valuation yields and thus lower value of properties and future cash flows.

Profit (loss) before tax was (NOK 969) million for the year ended December 31, 2023, compared to a decrease from (NOK 704) million in 2022. The group has taken steps to mitigate risk by economically hedging 50% of the floating-rate bank loan through swap agreements; however, it still remains exposed to fluctuations in the NIBOR interest rate, and the substantial decrease in the yield curve at yearend resulted in a significant reduction in the value of the swap agreements. Moreover, changes in property values are connected to fluctuations in interest rates.

Income tax expense decreased to NOK 69 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, down from NOK 81 million in

  1. The tax expense is significantly different from 22% as several of the properties are valued below historical cost at year end limiting the deductions for tax expense recorded for fair value reductions. As there is no other comprehensive income reported for both the year ended December 31, 2023, and the year ended December 31, 2022, net profit (loss) and total comprehensive income (loss) came in at NOK (900) million for 2023 and NOK (623) million for 2022.

CASH FLOW

In 2023, operating activities generated a cash inflow of NOK 437 million, while in 2022, it amounted to NOK 323 million. Investing activities resulted in a cash outflow of NOK 25 million in 2023, with expenditures of NOK 32 million on upgrades to investment properties, offset by an inflow of NOK 6 million from interest received on deposits and interest derivatives. In 2022, investing activities led to a cash outflow of NOK 1 813 million, primarily associated with investments in investment property entities.

Financing activities in 2023 resulted in a cash outflow of NOK 466 million, primarily due to debt repayment of bonds with nominal 762 million and repayment of bank loans of 66,5 million, offset by a refinance of bank loan with 625 million. Conversely, financing activities in 2022 generated a cash inflow of NOK 1 465 million, largely attributed to the restructuring of the group's bank loan.

In 2023, we navigated a landscape marked by unpredictable macroeconomic factors, witnessing increased interest rates and a sense of uncertainty in the real estate market. Following a phase of rapid growth and numerous transactions, the group dedicated the year to strengthening its existing operations, refraining from any real estate acquisitions throughout the period.

The group had rental income of NOK 575 million in 2023, and net income from property management of 470 million.

STRATEGY AND OBJECTIVES

The group's strategy is centered on the sustainable ownership, operation, and development of socially impactful properties in Norway. A key advantage lies in the robust tenant base—longterm institutions backed by public funding, ensuring financial stability. The portfolio mainly comprises socially beneficial properties housing public entities, strategically positioned near major cities across Norway. These facilities play a crucial role, hosting essential functions like police stations, courts, public health facilities and various governmental offices.

Since 2021, strategic acquisitions in the commercial real estate market have totaled approximately NOK 10 billion, resulting in a combined rental area of approximately 307,000 square meters. Positioned with a clear strategy the group aims to manage, develop, and acquire public properties with a collective value of up to NOK 15-20 billion in the coming years. This ambitious objective underscores the group's commitment to strengthening its standing as a leading actor in the industry of socially beneficial properties throughout Norway.

OPERATIONS

The group's core activities revolve around the ongoing management of the group's owned properties on a day-to-day basis. Moreover, the group proactively engages in real estate investment, encompassing upgrades and the development of the existing property portfolio, along with the acquisition of new properties.

To identify both short-term and longterm development potential within the portfolio, the board initiated a process to assess properties where there is an anticipated potential for future development and contracts expiring within 2-3 years. These properties will be ready to initiate a rezoning process in 2024. While earlier estimates indicated the zoning potential of around 40,000 square meters of the company's properties, recent and more accurate calculations conducted in 2023 suggest to increase said number to approximately 50,000 square meters. The Investment Committee is set to make recommendations to the board on which development opportunities the group will pursue during the spring of 2024.

Throughout 2023, the group undertook a project involving the energy assessment of all properties to establish the baseline for energy measures and reporting. Additionally, an energy management- and observation system (EOS) has been implemented for nearly all buildings within the portfolio. The EOS collect data from various meters, informing individual building environmental strategies. This facilitates effective management and identifies operational errors. External consultants are engaged to determine sustainable solutions and short-term optimisation.

PROPERTY PORTFOLIO

As of the end of 2023, the group owns 48 properties strategically situated throughout Norway, spanning various significant cities and urban centers. Notably, 91% of our rental income originates from public tenants, underscoring the stability of our portfolio, while the remaining 9% is derived from the private sector.

FINANCIAL POSITION

PPI assets amounted to a total of NOK 8 522 million as at 31 December 2023, down from NOK 9 691 million as at 31 December 2022. The decline in total assets is primarily attributed to the value reduction in the group's investment properties.

The valuation of the group's investment properties decreased from NOK 9,447 million as at December 31, 2022, to NOK 8,336 million as at December 31, 2023. This decrease is linked to the general market developments in the commercial real estate market. In the preceding years, Newsec conducted the valuation of the portfolio. However, starting from Q3 2023, the group's valuation is carried out quarterly by two external assessors, namely Newsec and Cushman & Wakefield. Of the change in value for the year of NOK 1 111 million, expansion projects, investments in new facilities, and acquisitions amounted to a total of NOK 32 million, while fair value adjustments amounted to NOK 1 143 million.

As at December 31, 2023, other assets consisted primarily of interest derivatives of NOK 37 million, trade receivables of NOK 5 million and cash and cash equivalents of NOK 123 million.

Total non-current liabilities decreased to NOK 3,476 million as at December 31, 2023, from NOK 5,094 million as at December 31, 2022. The reduction in non-current liabilities is mainly due to reclassification of short-term bonds with a maturity date in September 2024 amounting to NOK 2,054 million, first year installment of NOK 96 million on bank loan and repayment of bank loans of NOK 66 million. Moreover, the group refinanced NOK 625 million classified as current liabilities as at December 31, 2022. The non-current liabilities consisted mainly of deferred tax liabilities of NOK 66 million, interestbearing liabilities of NOK 3,353 million

and interest derivatives of NOK 34 million. The total current liabilities increased to NOK 2,196 million as at December 31, 2023, from NOK 847 million as at December 31, 2022. The non-current liabilities consisted mainly of interest-bearing liabilities of NOK 2,152 million, first year installment on bank loan of NOK 96 million and trade payables of NOK 17 million.

The total equity was NOK 2,850 million as at December 31, 2023, representing an equity ratio of 33.44%, compared to NOK 3,750 million as at December 31, 2022, an equity ratio of 38.74%.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

PPI does not have any activities classified as research and development.

GOING CONCERN

The group has two bond loans with a carrying amount as of December 31, 2023 of NOK 2 054 million (see note 14 for further details) scheduled to mature in September 2024. Without refinancing, extending the maturity date and/or an equity injection, the group will not be able to repay these bond loans at maturity. The board and Management are considering different options. On 29 January, 2024 the group received a term-sheet for a backstop-facility, contingent on an equity issue and a listing of the shares of PPI on Oslo Stock Exchange (IPO), for the refinancing of the two maturing bonds.

The board believes that the conditional backstop-facility together with the funds from the planned equity issue will provide sufficient funds to secure the refinancing and assure the sustainability of the operations as a going concern. The group is also in the process of securing long-term financing by actively negotiate with both banks and existing bondholders. The board views the current refinancing and ongoing discussions as integral to its financial strategy and anticipates a

satisfactory outcome. However, to ensure long-term financing, the group will need to raise equity. At present the group is exploring various strategic options with a primary focus on issuing more equity. The preferred strategic option is to initiate an IPO on the Oslo Stock Exchange in first half of 2024.

If the group fails in raising capital before the bond loans mature in 2024, the group will have to negotiate with current bondholders in order to extend the maturity date. If such negotiations are not successful, the group might have to sell properties with the risk of obtaining prices below current market prices in an orderly transaction. If the refinancing fails and the group is not able to sell some of its properties, there is a significant risk that the going concern assumption is threatened.

Management and the board assesses the risk associated with the refinancing processes as low. The board and management believe that, once the refinancing negotiations are successfully completed, the group will be able to continue its operations without any significant disruptions or financial difficulties. This positive outlook is based on a thorough risk assessment and the proactive measures taken to mitigate these risks. Taking into account this risk assessment along with an evaluation of the group's past performance, and future forecasts, the board confirms the presences of the necessary conditions for the group to continue operating as a going concern.

PARENT COMPANY RESULTS AND ALLOCATION OF NET PROFIT (LOSS)

Regarding the parent company's financial results and profit distribution, the parent company achieved a loss before taxes of NOK 944 million in 2023, with a change in income tax expense amounting to NOK 2,5 million, resulting in a net loss of NOK 941 million. By comparison, the parent company

reported a loss before taxes of NOK 8 million in 2022, with a change in tax expense of NOK 18,7 million, leading to a net loss of NOK 27 million for 2022. The loss of 932 million is caused by write-down of long-term investments; shares in Public Property Holding AS.

The board proposes the allocation of the net loss of NOK 941 million for the parent company as follows: the entire amount to be transferred from other equity, totaling NOK 941 million.

RISK FACTORS AND RISK MANAGEMENT

Public Property Invest is subject to several risks, including market, operational and financial risks. The management and board are actively involved in strengthening the group's risk management process, working towards an expanded and more robust framework.

Market risk

The group is susceptible to economic cycles and macroeconomic fluctuations. Changes in the global economic landscape, such as inflation levels and economic growth rates, could significantly impact the value of the group's assets, including its property portfolio. A downturn in the economy may reduce the market value of some or all of the group's properties. Furthermore, any changes in the commercial property industry, where the group operates, may have adverse effects on property values, including:

  • Reduction in demand for commercial properties.
  • Limited availability and increased cost of financing for commercial properties.
  • Slowdown in the market for the sale of commercial properties.

A substantial decrease in property values could negatively impact the group's future earnings and financial position.

Operational risk

The group owns multiple properties with an average remaining lease term of 5.2 years as at December 31, 2023. The wault calculation assumes that Oslo Metropolitan University enters into a lease agreement with a duration of 5 years from the expiration of the existing contract (see note 6). Failure to secure new leases upon the expiration or termination of existing agreements may lead to a rental shortfall, obliging the group to cover common costs for vacant areas until the property is re-let. Expenditures related to property, such as renovation and maintenance costs, may not decrease proportionately to any decline in rental income. Inability to re-let properties could have a material adverse effect on the group's financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows. Additionally, tenant failures to meet obligations could result in significant loss of rental income, potentially decreasing the value of the group's properties and negatively affecting its financial condition.

Financial risks

Failure to comply with covenants in financing arrangements may have a material adverse effect on the company. If the company breaches covenants under the loan agreements for the senior secured callable bonds of NOK 2 273 million issued by the company, or the secured bank loan of 3 256 million, it may trigger an immediate repayment obligation for the loans. The group cannot guarantee its ability to fulfill obligations under current or prospective financing arrangements. Any breach of existing or future debt covenants and commitments, leading to a demand for full or partial repayment of outstanding debt, will adversely impact the group's financial position, operations, and prospects.

Risks related to the valuation of the property portfolio The group's investment properties

are measured at their fair value by the independent external valuators Newsec AS and Cushman & Wakefield Debenham Tie Leung Limited. The valuations are based on the individual property's assumed future cash flows, and property values are arrived at by discounting cash flows with an individual risk-adjusted required rate of return. The external valuers have performed their valuations based on the information they have received from the group, including lease contracts, estimated development costs, and expected lettable area, estimated future market rents, yields, inflation and other relevant parameters, and has not undertaken any technical inspection of the properties nor made any assessment of legal concerns related to the properties.

Because of the uncertainty surrounding the input received by external valuators, in particular with respect to expected market rents, discount rates and inflation, estimates of sellable or lettable areas and estimated development costs for projects still in development, there can be no assurance that the fair values assigned to the group's properties accurately reflect the proceeds that the group will be able to generate from any sale of such properties in the future. Moreover, valuation methods that are currently generally accepted and that have been used for the purpose of developing the fair value of the group's properties could subsequently be determined to have been unsuitable. Revised valuation techniques, erroneous valuations in connection with acquisition of property portfolios and other unforeseeable events could result in the group being unable to achieve its projected yields and could have significant adverse effects on the group's business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Liquidity risk

Effective liquidity risk management involves ensuring an adequate reserve of cash and readily marketable securities, along with accessible funding, to fulfill obligations promptly and manage market positions. The group's approach to liquidity risk management is grounded in maintaining a consistently sufficient liquidity level to meet all financial liabilities at maturity. This commitment applies under both standard and exceptional circumstances, with the aim of avoiding unacceptable losses and safeguarding the group's reputation.

For a detailed overview of potential risks and uncertainties associated with the group's business and industry, please refer to the notes to the financial statements.

SUSTAINABILITY

Due to its scale and role as a provider of properties for public tenants, the group carries a substantial social responsibility. This involves leading industry transformation by prioritizing refurbishment over new construction, ensuring tenant objectives are met, and adopting environmentally sustainable practices. The commitment to sustainability focuses on climate and environment, social sustainability, and financial sustainability.

In climate and environment, the group aims for environmental certifications for all buildings and achieved Eco-Lighthouse certification in December 2023. Ongoing efforts include mapping energy, water, and waste in buildings, with a commitment to reducing consumption. The group has minimal environmental impact and adheres to regulations.

For social sustainability, the group ensures favorable working conditions, accessibility, and user involvement. It promotes engagement with tenants and complies with the Norwegian Transparency Act through a whistleblowing channel and a code

of conduct. The company's reporting in accordance with the Norwegian Transparency Act can be found on the group's website.

In financial sustainability, the group views its buildings as tools for tenants, customizing them to fulfill social mandates.

EMPLOYEES AND ORGANIZATION

The group has one full time employee, CEO Morten Kjeldby, who reported no sick leave in 2023.

The group has a business management agreement with Arctic Real Estate Management AS to support commercial and financial management for properties and companies within the group. There's also a separate management agreement with Arctic Real Estate Management AS for the operation and management of the group's property portfolio. The CEO works from offices in Oslo, sharing space with Arctic Real Estate Management AS, the group's business and property manager.

The group has secured directors' liability insurance covering the Board of Directors' and the CEOs legal personal liability for financial damage resulting from the performance of their duties. This insurance extends to both the group and its subsidiaries.

EQUAL OPPORTUNITIES

The group is dedicated to ensuring equal treatment for all employees, regardless of ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, age, religion, or faith, both during recruitment and throughout their tenure. Currently, the corporate team includes one male employee. As for the Board of Directors, it comprises three male members and two female members, reflecting a commitment to diversity and gender equality within the leadership structure.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

The group's board is dedicated to conducting business in an ethical and

responsible manner, aligning with Norwegian law and upholding the highest standards of integrity. The decision-making processes prioritize transparency and efficiency, emphasizing honesty in all communication and reporting to ensure clarity and consistency for all our investors.

A robust risk management culture is integral to the group's operations, with a proactive approach to identifying and addressing financial, environmental, and social risks. This adaptability enables efficient navigation of changing market dynamics. The group's relationships with stakeholders, whether shareholders, tenants, employees, or advisors, are built on a foundation of historical performance and trust. The group remains steadfast in the commitment to act responsibly and maintain a high level of engagement on behalf of stakeholders.

SHAREHOLDERS

The majority of the group's owners are professional real estate investors. The share capital is NOK 3 596 583, distributed among 3 596 583 shares.

The company's shares are freely tradable and registered with Aksjeservice. The group has one class of shares. All shares carry equal rights, including the right to potential dividends. Each share holds one voting right. There are no stock options or other rights to subscribe or acquire shares issued by the group.

As of December 31, 2023, SBB Samfunnsbygg owned 1 612 386 shares, constituting 44.8% of the group's shares, thus having negative control. Sagacia AS owned shares equivalent to 5%, and Telecom AS owned shares equivalent to 4.6%.

As of December 31, 2023, the group had 401 shareholders.

OUTLOOK

The external and independent property valuation conducted by external advisors at December 31, 2023 reveals a decline in the property portfolio of approximately 14% from the cost price and 20% from its peak in Q1 2022. This trend mirrors what is observed in the market for similar property companies in Norway. While there is an expectation that the market will take some time to recover, the board remains hopeful that a significant portion of the downside has already been mitigated.

The group is not immune to market developments but maintains a robust and healthy position. Of utmost importance to the board is the pursuit of a favorable solution for the bond loans set to mature in September 2024. The group will continue working to secure the most favorable financing arrangements possible.

Recognizing the evolving external market conditions, the board is committed to acting predictably and adopting a long-term perspective to safeguard shareholders' values in the most effective manner. The company's long-term strategy remains steadfast, yet the board has chosen a prudent approach until market conditions normalize. Simultaneously, the board anticipates that the coming period may present valuable opportunities arising from substantial shifts in such a market.

Public Property Invest AS is a real estate company focusing on acquiring and managing properties in Norway through its subsidiaries. The properties comprise mainly of office spaces and are primarily let to public tenants. The group was formed when Public Property Invest AS acquired all the shares in Public Property Holding AS on June 22, 2021. The administration of Public Property Invest AS and its subsidiaries (PPI) is located in Oslo. The consolidated financial statements were approved by the company's board on February 16, 2024.

NOTE 02 BASIS OF PREPARATION AND ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES

2.1 BASIS OF PREPARATION

The consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with IFRS ® Accounting standards as adopted by the EU. In addition, the consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with Norwegian reporting requirements pursuant to the Norwegian Accounting Act that are effective as of December 31, 2023, the end of the group's IFRS reporting period. The consolidated financial statements include Public Property Invest AS and its subsidiaries. Acquired properties are included in the financial statements from the date of acquisition. Management makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The accounting estimates will by definition seldom be fully in accordance with the final outcome. Estimates and assumptions which have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities relate primarily to the valuation of investment property. Refer to note 5 related to critical accounting estimates and judgements. The consolidated financial statements are presented in Norwegian kroner (NOK). The majority of the note disclosures are presented in NOK millions, unless otherwise indicated. The consolidated financial statements for 2023 with comparatives for 2022 have been prepared on a going concern basis.

2.2 ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES

The consolidated financial statements are based on historical cost, except for the following:

  • Derivative financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss
  • Investment properties which are measured at fair value

2.3 BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION AND BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

Subsidiaries are all entities over which the group has control. Control exists when the group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns as a result of involvement with the company, and the group is able to impact returns through its power over the company.

All acquired companies are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date on which the group obtains control over the company. In the same way, the company is deconsolidated when control over the company ceases.

For accounting purposes, acquisitions of subsidiaries that do not constitute a business as defined in IFRS 3, such as acquisitions where substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single property or group of similar properties, are treated as asset acquisitions. The cost of acquisition is then attributed to the individual identifiable assets and liabilities based on their relative fair values on the acquisition date. Expenses associated with the transaction are capitalised under the investment property. In such cases, deferred tax liabilities or assets are not recognised, except for deferred taxes related to losses carried forward, in accordance with the exceptions in IAS 12.

Intra-company transactions, balances, and unrealised gains and losses on transactions between group companies are eliminated. The financial statements of subsidiaries are restated where necessary to achieve consistency with the group's accounting policies.

2.4 FUNCTIONAL CURRENCY AND PRESENTATION CURRENCY

The group's presentation currency is NOK. Parent company and all of the subsidiaries are Norwegian legal entities with NOK as their functional currency. Refer to list of Entities and subsidiaries in note 16.

2.5 SEGMENT INFORMATION

Operating segments are reported in the same way as in internal reports to the group's highest decision-making authority. The group's highest decision-making authority, which is responsible for allocating resources and assessing the profitability of the operating segments, has been identified as the board of directors and the CEO. Public Property Invest AS group has one segment, commercial properties.

NOTE 03 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

3.1 INVESTMENT PROPERTY

Investment property comprises completed property held to generate rental income or for capital appreciation or both. Investment property is recognised initially at cost including transaction costs. Transaction costs include transfer taxes, professional fees for legal services and initial leasing commissions to bring the property to the condition necessary for it to be capable of operating. The carrying amount also includes the cost of replacing part of an existing investment property at the time that cost is incurred if the recognition criteria are met. Subsequent to initial recognition, investment property is measured at fair value. Gains or losses arising from changes in fair value are included in the income statement in the reporting period in which they arise.

Investment property at fair value , continues to be measured the property at fair value until disposal even if comparable market transactions become less frequent or market prices become less readily available. Gains and losses on the

disposal of an Investment property is the difference between the selling price and the fair value of the investmert property measured at the date of the disposal.

3.2 LEASING

As at December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 no right-ofuse assets or liabilities are recognized in the balance sheet as there are no material lease agreements.

3.3 FINANCIAL ASSETS

3.3.1 Classification, recognition and measurement

Financial assets at amortised cost are subsequently measured using the effective interest (EIR) method and are subject to impairment. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the asset is derecognised, modified, or impaired. Since the group's financial assets (trade (rent) and other receivables, cash, and short-term deposits) meet these conditions, they are subsequently measured at amortised cost.

2.6 CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES AND NEW PRONOUNCEMENTS

Changes in accounting principles

The following amendments to existing IFRS standards have been adopted as of January 1, 2023 without any significant or material effect on the financial statements.

Disclosure of Accounting Policies – Amendments to IAS 1 and IFRS Practice Statement 2

The IASB amended IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements to require entities to disclose their material rather than their significant accounting policies. The amendments define what is 'material accounting policy information' (being information that, when considered together with other information included in an entity's financial statements, can reasonably be expected to influence decisions that the primary users of general purpose financial statements make on the basis of those financial statements) and explain how to identify when accounting policy information is material. They further clarify that immaterial accounting policy information does not need to be disclosed. If it is disclosed, it should not obscure material accounting information.

Definition of Accounting Estimates – Amendments to IAS 8 The amendment to IAS 8 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors clarifies how companies should distinguish changes in accounting policies from changes in accounting estimates. The distinction is important, because changes in accounting estimates are applied prospectively to future transactions and other future events, whereas changes in accounting policies are generally applied retrospectively to past transactions and other past events as well as the current period.

Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a Single Transaction – Amendments to IAS 12 The amendments to IAS 12 Income Taxes require companies to recognise deferred tax on transactions that, on initial recognition, give rise to equal amounts of taxable and deductible temporary differences, and will require the recognition of additional deferred tax assets and liabilities. The amendment should be applied to transactions that occur on or after the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented. In addition, entities should recognise deferred tax assets (to the extent that it is probable that they can be utilised) and deferred tax liabilities at the beginning of the earliest comparative period for all deductible and taxable temporary differences associated with:

  • right-of-use assets and lease liabilities, and
  • decommissioning, restoration and similar liabilities, and the corresponding amounts recognised as part of the cost of the related assets.

New pronouncements

None of the issued, not yet effective, accounting standards or amendments to such standards, are expected to have significant effects for Public Property Invest AS Group's financial reporting. Further, none of the recently issued IFRS Interpretations Committee agenda decisions are expected to significantly change the group's accounting policies or practices.

The group has entered into interest rate swaps, the derivatives is carried at fair value through profit or loss. All the group's interest-rate swaps are used as economic hedges. Hedge accounting is not applied. Derivatives are recognised at fair value through profit or loss. Changes in the fair value of the derivatives are recognised in the income statement as part of changes in fair value of interest derivatives. The settlement of swap rates are recorded as a reduction or increase of financial expenses in the income statement.

3.3.2 Impairment of trade (rent) receivables

For trade (rent) receivables the group applies a simplified approach in calculating expected credit losses (ECLs). ECLs are based on the difference between the contractual cash flows due in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the group expects to receive, discounted at an approximation of the original effective interest rate. Therefore, the group does not track changes in credit risk, but instead recognises a loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date.

3.3.3 Trade (rent) receivables

Rent receivables are recognised at their original invoiced value except where the time value of money is material, in which case rent receivables are recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost. There are no lease receivables with a significant time value of money component. Refer to accounting policies on financial assets in note 3.3.

3.3.4 Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand and deposits held with banks.

3.4 FINANCIAL LIABILITIES

3.4.1 Classification, recognition and measurement

All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value and, in the case of loans and borrowings and payables, net of directly attributable transaction costs. The group's financial liabilities include trade and other payables and loans and borrowings including bank overdrafts. After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method (EIR). Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognised. Amortised cost is calculated by considering any discount or premium related to the debt and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortisation is included as finance expenses in the statement of profit or loss.

3.4.2 Derecognition

A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as the derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability.

The difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognised in the statement of profit or loss.

3.5 SHARE CAPITAL

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.

3.6 TAXES PAYABLE AND DEFERRED TAX

The tax expense for the period comprises taxes payable and change in deferred tax. However, deferred tax is not recorded if it arises on initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction, other than a business combination, that affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss on the transaction date. Deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that there will be future taxable income against which the temporary differences can be utilised. Deferred tax is provided on temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries and associates, except where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference is controlled by the group and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the reporting date and are expected to apply when the related tax asset is realised, or the deferred tax liability is settled. The provision for deferred tax is based on the expected manner of realisation or settlement of the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities. Pursuant to the exception in IAS 12, deferred tax is not recognised when buying a company which is not a business. A provision for deferred tax is made after subsequent increases in the value beyond initial cost, while a fall in value below initial cost will only reverse previous provisions for deferred tax. Furthermore, an increase in temporary differences related to tax depreciation will give grounds for a recognition of deferred tax.

3.7 RENTAL INCOME

The group earns revenue from acting as a lessor in operating leases which do not transfer substantially all of the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of an investment property. Rental income arising from operating leases on investment property is accounted for on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Variable rental income is recognised when it arises. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating and arranging an operating lease, when deemed as material, are added to the investment property carrying value and are recognised as an expense over the lease term. Initial direct costs are the incremental costs to obtain the lease, and includes any commissions, as well as legal and consulting fees incurred in connection with obtaining the lease agreement. Lease incentives are recognised as a reduction of rental revenue on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

3.8 INTEREST INCOME

Interest income is recognised in income as it is earned using the effective interest method.

4.1 FINANCIAL ASSETS MEASURED AT FAIR VALUE

The group's policy is to recognize transfers into and out of the fair value hierarchy levels at the end of the reporting period.

Level 2: The fair value of the interest derivatives that are not traded in active markets (e.g., over-the-counter derivatives) is determined using valuation techniques that maximize

the use of observable market data and minimize reliance on entity-specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to value an instrument fairly are observable, the instrument is classified as level 2.

Interest rate derivatives are measured at level 2.

PUBLIC PROPERTY INVEST // ANNUAL REPORT 2023 52 PUBLIC PROPERTY INVEST // ANNUAL REPORT 2023 53

4.2 FINANCIAL RISK

The group's tenants are entities with very good credit ratings and liquidity. The expected credit loss and late payment risk is assessed as very low. As of year-end 2023 and 2022 there is no loss allowance recognized for the trade receivables.

The group regularly monitors liquidity risk by setting up cash flow forecasts based on the liquidity reserves, including cash equivalents, and borrowing facilities. The forecasts are set by the individual subsidiaries, and is regularly monitored by the board on a company- and group-level. See details in note 19 related to refinancing of bonds.

Interest rate risk holds significant relevance in the group's financing structures and property investments. The group closely monitors real estate operations and collectively strives to assess and mitigate both liquidity and interest rate risks. The group is exposed to cash flow interest rate risk from long-term borrowings at variable rate, and the risk is hedged using interest rate swaps, see details in note 8 and 14.

4.3 CAPITAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The main purpose of the group's capital management is to maintain a reasonable balance between debt and equity. The group's goal is to have an LTV ratio of 50-65%. The target is set with consideration to value development in the group and the opportunity to obtain the necessary financing.

There are covenants on existing financing related to; loan to value, interest cover ratio and equity ratio. Both during 2023, and as of December 31, 2023, the group was in compliance with all financial covenants, and the group expects to be in compliance going forward.

4.4 CLIMATE RISK

Physical climate risk is the danger that climate-related events such as extreme weather cause damage to buildings or interruptions in operations. This can lead to losses and affect the return on investments negative. Furthermore, in the transition to the low-emission society, there is a risk that buildings that are not assessed as sustainable will receive regulatory restrictions, yield lower or lost rental income, and become more difficult to sell in the future. Management and the board monitor developments in the market regarding the importance of climate risk for the development in the market value of investment property. So far, climate risk has not affected the valuations, but it is assumed that the buyer group is somewhat smaller for properties that have a higher risk linked to climate change. Physical risk and transition risk related to climate change on the road to a low-emission society are highly relevant for the group.

NOTE 05 SEGMENT INFORMATION

The group has one main operational unit, led by the CEO. The property portfolio is divided into 6 different geographic areas in Norway and 6 different tenant types with management teams monitoring and following upon each area and tenant type.

The different segments are supported by support functions within accounting, finance and legal, investment and other support functions from the external service provider.

The different segments do not have their own profit responsibility. The segments are instead followed up on economical

and non-economical key figures ("key performance indicators") where revenue pr segment is the most important performance metric. These key figures are analysed and reported to the chief operating decision maker, that is the Board and CEO, for the purpose of resource allocation and assessment of segment performance. Hence, the group report the segment information based upon these segments. Since the investment properties have multiple tenants across the segments in the table below, and the investment properties are valuated building by building, the segment reporting does not include investment property value on tenant counterparts.

The group mainly enters into long-term lease agreements with solid counterparties.

The table displays the amount of contracts ending in the period and the expiring annual lease of the contracts.

The rent is stated as the annualised undiscounted contractual rent, and is therefore not recognisable in the rental income for the year for accounting purposes. The table above assumes that Oslo Metropolitan University enters into a lease agreement with a duration of 5 years from the expiration of the existing contract. If the agreement is confirmed, it triggers an estimated obligation (purchase price adjustment) to SBB Samfunnsbygg AS of NOK 71.9 million. This obligation will be settled through conversion to equity in 2024.

NOTE 08 FINANCIALS

At year end, all of the group's investment properties are valued by two independent, external appraisers. The valuations as of December 31, 2023 were obtained from Newsec and Cushman & Wakefield, and the market value of the portfolio in the group´s balance sheet is based on the average of the appraisers' valuation. The valuations as of December 31, 2022 were obtained from Newsec, and the market value of the portfolio in the group´s balance sheet is based on Newsec's valuation alone.

The valuations are performed on a property-by-property basis, assuming that the properties are sold individually over time. The valuations are performed using the discounted cash flow method, which involves discounting future cash flows over a specified period using an estimated discount rate and then adding a residual value at the end of the period. Future cash flows are calculated on the basis of cash flows from signed leases, as well as estimated future cash flows based on an expected market rent at the end of the lease terms.

The fair value of investment properties is therefore mainly affected by:

  • expected market rents,
  • discount rates
  • inflation
  • capital expenditures.

When carrying out their valuations, the appraisers receive comprehensive details on the properties, lease contracts, floor space and details of any vacant premises, and

up-to-date and comprehensive information about all ongoing and planned projects. Any uncertainties relating to the properties, projects and leases are also clarified verbally and in writing as and when required. The group´s management ensures that all relevant information is included in the valuations and in order to fully understand the changes in value of investment properties from the previous period end.

The appraisers perform their valuations on the basis of the information they have received, and estimate future market rents, yields, inflation and other relevant parameters. Each individual property is assessed in terms of its market position, rental income (contractual) rents versus market rents) and ownership costs, with estimates being made for anticipated vacancy levels and the need for alterations and upgrades. The remaining term of the leases is also assessed for risk, along with any special clauses in the contracts. Each property is also compared with recently sold properties in the same segment (location, type of property, technical standard, mix of tenants etc.)

The table below shows to what extent the value of the management property portfolio is affected by market rents,exit yields (market yields), operating costs and discounts rates, assuming that all other factors are equal. However, there are interrelationships between these variables, and it is expected that a change in one variable may influence the other variable. The negative value change in 2022 and 2023 is predominantly due to an adjustment of the appraisers' estimated discount rate, with some offsetting effects from other factors such as market rent expectations.

NOTE 19 SUBSEQUENT EVENTS/GOING CONCERN/LIQUIDITY RISK

The group has two bond loans with a carrying amount as of December 31, 2023 of NOK 2 054 million (see note 14 for further details) scheduled to mature in September 2024. Without refinancing, extending the maturity date and/or an equity injection, the group will not be able to repay these bond loans at maturity. The board and Management are considering different options. On 29 January, 2024 the group received a term-sheet for a backstop-facility, contingent on an equity issue and a listing of the shares of PPI on Oslo Stock Exchange (IPO), for the refinancing of the two maturing bonds.

The board believes that the conditional backstop-facility together with the funds from the planned equity issue will provide sufficient funds to secure the refinancing and assure the sustainability of the operations as a going concern. The group is also in the process of securing long-term financing by actively negotiate with both banks and existing bondholders. The board views the current refinancing and ongoing discussions as integral to its financial strategy and anticipates a satisfactory outcome. However, to ensure long-term financing, the group will need to raise equity. At present the group is exploring various strategic options with a primary focus on issuing more equity. The preferred strategic option is to initiate an IPO on the Oslo Stock Exchange in first half of 2024.

If the group fails in raising capital before the bond loans mature in 2024, the group will have to negotiate with current bondholders in order to extend the maturity date. If such negotiations are not successful, the group might have to sell properties with the risk of obtaining prices below current market prices in an orderly transaction. If the refinancing fails and the group is not able to sell some of its properties, there is a significant risk that the going concern assumption is threatened.

Management and the board assesses the risk associated with the refinancing processes as low. The board and management believe that, once the refinancing negotiations are successfully completed, the group will be able to continue its operations without any significant disruptions or financial difficulties. This positive outlook is based on a thorough risk assessment and the proactive measures taken to mitigate these risks. Taking into account this risk assessment along with an evaluation of the group's past performance, and future forecasts, the board confirms the presences of the necessary conditions for the group to continue operating as a going concern.

CASH FLOW STATEMENT NOTES TO THE PARENT FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES

The financial statements comprise of the income statement, balance sheet, cash flow and notes and are prepared in accordance with accounting, company law and generally accepted accounting principles in Norway. The financial statements are based on the basic principles of historical cost. Transactions are booked at the value of the consideration on the transaction date.

GENERAL INFORMATION

Public Property Invest AS (the "Company") and its subsidiaries' (together, the "Group") business is related to ownership of properties in Norway, and rental of office spaces, primarily to public tenants. The Company was incorporated August 16, 2018, and is domiciled in Oslo, Norway. The Company has one employee. On June 22, 2021, the Company acquired all the shares in Public Property Holding AS. Following the acquisitions, the group was formed.

CLASSIFICATION OF BALANCE SHEET ITEMS

Assets intended for long term ownership or use have been classified as non current assets. Assets relating to the trading cycle have been classified as current assets. Other receivables are classified as current assets if they are to be repaid within one year after the transaction date. Similar criteria apply to liabilities. First year's instalments on long term liabilities and long-term receivables are, however, not classified as short-term liabilities and current assets.

CURRENT ASSETS & LIABILITIES

Current assets are valued at the lowest of acquisition cost and fair value. Short term debt is capitalised at the nominal amount at the time of borrowing. Fixed assets are valued at acquisition costs. Other fixed assets than operating assets are written down to fair value in the event of a decrease in value that is not expected to be temporary. Long- term debt is capitalised net of establishment cost at the time of establishment. Establishment cost is amortised over the commitment period. Receivables from customers and other receivables are entered at par value after deducting a provision for expected losses. The provision for losses is made on the basis of an individual assessment of the respective receivables.

DERIVATIVES

When hedging future interest costs, where the hedging instruments are to hedge the group against variations in future cash flows, the hedging instrument is not booked in the balance sheet as long as the hedging is considered to be effective. Gains or losses are recognised as net interest income or interest expense, in line with the recognition of the hedged item in the income statement

INVESTMENTS IN OTHER COMPANIES

The cost method is applied to investments in other companies. Transaction costs are included in the cost price. Companies acquired or sold during the year are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date that control is achieved and until control ceases. On consolidation, the

parent company shares in subsidiaries replaced with the subsidiaries' assets and liabilities and are grouped according to the same principles as the parent company accounts.

Subsidiaries are all entities over which the group has control. See note 16 in Group financial statement for a comprehensive list of subsidiaries. Control of an entity occurs when the group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the day on which control is transferred to the group. They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases.

The cost price is increased when funds are added through capital increases or when group contributions are made to subsidiaries. Dividends received are taken directly as deduction in purchase cost. Dividend/group contribution from subsidiaries are reflected in the same year as the subsidiary makes a provision for the amount. Dividend from other companies is reflected as financial income when it has been approved.

ASSET IMPAIRMENTS

Impairment tests are carried out if there is indication that the carrying amount of an asset exceeds the estimated recoverable amount. The test is performed on the lowest level of fixed assets at which independent cashflows can be identified. If the carrying amount is higher than both the fair value less cost to sell and value in use (net present value of future use/ownership), the asset is written down to the highest of fair value less cost to sell and the value in use.

Previous impairment charges, except write-down of goodwill, are reversed in later periods if the conditions causing the write-down are no longer present.

CASH FLOW

The cash flow statement has been prepared according to the indirect method. Cash and cash equivalents include cash and bank deposits.

TAXES

The tax charge in the income statement includes both payable taxes for the period and changes in deferred tax. The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantially enacted at the end of the reporting period. Deferred tax is calculated at relevant tax rates on the basis of the temporary differences which exist between accounting and tax values, and any carry-forward losses for tax purposes at the year-end. Tax enhancing or tax reducing temporary differences, which are reversed or may be reversed in the same period, have been eliminated. The disclosure of deferred tax benefits on net tax reducing differences which have not been eliminated, and carry-forward losses, is based on estimated future earnings. Deferred tax and tax benefits which may be shown in the balance sheet are presented net.

To the General Meeting of Public Property Invest AS

Independent Auditor's Report

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Public Property Invest AS, which comprise:

  • the financial statements of the parent company Public Property Invest AS (the Company), which comprise the balance sheet as at 31 December 2023, the income statement and cash flow statement for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies, and
  • the consolidated financial statements of Public Property Invest AS and its subsidiaries (the Group), which comprise the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2023, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including material accounting policy information.

In our opinion

  • the financial statements comply with applicable statutory requirements,
  • the financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position of the Company as at 31 December 2023, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with the Norwegian Accounting Act and accounting standards and practices generally accepted in Norway, and
  • the consolidated financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position of the Group as at 31 December 2023, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as adopted by the EU.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISAs). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company and the Group as required by relevant laws and regulations in Norway and the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants' International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including International Independence Standards) (IESBA Code), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern

We draw attention to Note 19 in the financial statements, where the Company states that some of their financing contracts expire and amounts owing fall due for payment in September 2024. Without refinancing, extending the maturity date and/or an equity injection, the Company will not be able to repay these bond loans at maturity. As stated in Note 19, these events or conditions, along with other matters as set forth in Note 19, indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

Other Information

The Board of Directors and the Managing Director (management) are responsible for the information in the Board of Directors' report and the other information accompanying the financial statements. The other information comprises information in the annual report, but does not include the financial statements and

our auditor's report thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the information in the Board of Directors' report nor the other information accompanying the financial statements.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the Board of Directors' report and the other information accompanying the financial statements. The purpose is to consider if there is material inconsistency between the Board of Directors' report and the other information accompanying the financial statements and the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or whether the Board of Directors' report and the other information accompanying the financial statements otherwise appear to be materially misstated. We are required to report if there is a material misstatement in the Board of Directors' report or the other information accompanying the financial statements. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Based on our knowledge obtained in the audit, it is our opinion that the Board of Directors' report

  • is consistent with the financial statements and
  • contains the information required by applicable statutory requirements.

Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation of financial statements of the Company that give a true and fair view in accordance with the Norwegian Accounting Act and accounting standards and practices generally accepted in Norway, and for the preparation of the consolidated financial statements of the Group that give a true and fair view in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as adopted by the EU. Management is responsible for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company's and the Group's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern. The financial statements of the Company use the going concern basis of accounting insofar as it is not likely that the enterprise will cease operations. The consolidated financial statements of the Group use the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  • identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. We design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
  • obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's and the Group's internal control.

  • evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
  • conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company's and the Group's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company and the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.
  • evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves a true and fair view.
  • obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

We communicate with the Board of Directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

EPRA REPORTING

The following performance indicators have been prepared in accordance with best practices as defined by EPRA (European Public Real Estate Association) in its latest edition of the Best Practices Recommendations Guidelines.

The EPRA Best Practices Recommendations Guidelines focus on making the financial statements of public real estate companies clearer and more comparable across Europe. For further information about EPRA, see www.epra.com.

The details for the calculation of the performance measures are shown on the following pages.

A. EPRA EARNINGS

EPRA Earnings is a measure of the operational performance of the property portfolio. EPRA Earnings is calculated based on the income statement, adjusted for non-controlling interests, value changes on investment properties, changes in the market value of financial instruments and the associated tax effects.

B. EPRA NET ASSET VALUE (EPRA NAV) METRICS

EPRA Net Reinstatement Value (NRV) The objective of the EPRA NRV measure is to highlight the value of net assets on a long-term basis and assumes that no selling of assets takes place. Assets and liabilities that are not expected to crystallise in normal circumstances such as the fair value movements on financial derivatives and deferred taxes on property valuation surpluses are therefore excluded. Real estate transfer taxes are not levied on property transactions in Norway.

1) Net payables is defined as trade payables, other current and non-current liabilities, less trade receivables, and other receivables.

C. EPRA LOAN-TO-VALUE (EPRA LTV) METRIC

EPRA LTV is a metric to determine the percentage of net debt comparing to the appraised value of the properties.

Independent valuer NEWSEC, Cushman & Wakefield
ICR Interest Cover Ratio, the ratio of EBITDA to Net Interest Cost.
Market value of portfolio The market value of all properties owned by the parent company and subsidiaries.
EPRA NAV Net Asset Value, the total equity that the company manages for its owners. Public Property Invest
presents NAV calculations in line with EPRA recommendation, where the difference mainly is
explained by the expected turnover of the property portfolio.
Swap A swap is an agreement between two parties to exchange sequences of cash flows for a set period
of time.
WAULT Weighted Average Unexpired Lease Term measured as the remaining contractual rent amounts of
the current lease contracts of the investment properties of the group, including areas that have
been re-let and signed new contracts, adjusted for termination rights and excluding any renewal
options, divided by Contractual rent, including renewed and signed new contracts.
