SLP continued to expand through new and extended rental agreements with satisfied tenants, resulting in another strong quarter. Rental income increased by 49 percent and profit from property management by 41 percent in year-on-year terms. We are continuing to expand and presented another quarter with positive underlying net rental income and value growth in our properties. We are also continuing to acquire development properties in strategic locations, and increased our holdings by 197,000 square metres with an annual rental value of approximately SEK 131 m. We can conclude that the business model delivers results, and we are continuously advancing our positions, which creates future opportunities and sustainable value creation.
We returned positive value growth despite a 30 b.p. increase in the return requirement in the external valuation for the year. This was due to rent increases, positive net rental income, investments and extended lease periods. Over the past year, we gradually increased the return requirement from 5.2 percent to 5.9 percent, despite that we delivered positive value changes each quarter. This demonstrates that our work is yielding results and that our business model delivers.
In the quarter, we acquired and took ownership of a property covering 46,000 square metres in Stigamo outside Jönköping. On the property we will construct a logistics facility with a lettable area of just over 18,000 square metres. A 15-year rental agreement relating to this has been signed with the international logistics operator Dachser. We also took ownership of a property in Hallsberg totalling 280,000 square metres, after the property registration became legally binding. The property acquisition was announced at the end of June and is our largest new construction project to date, with a total estimated transaction value of some SEK 800 m and annual rent of approximately SEK 50 m. A 15-year rental agreement was signed with Ahlsell Sverige regarding an environmentally certified new construction covering just over 60,000 square metres. In addition to acquisitions, we also extended rental agreements with existing tenants. The fact that tenants are continuing to extend their rental agreements with us provides clear evidence of customer satisfaction. The tenancy period was 6.2 years at the end of the quarter, unchanged on just over a year ago. Our 10 largest rental agreements account for 27 percent of total annual contractual rent and have a remaining period of just over 9 years.
The work aimed at increased energy efficiency and environmental certification of our properties in order to reduce our climate footprint has led to a continuously increasing proportion of sustainable loans. At the end of the period, the proportion was 50 percent of the existing loan portfolio, compared to 40 percent at the start of the year. By integrating sustainability in our business model and actively improving sustainability performance across our holding, we are well on the way to reaching our long-term goal of 70 percent sustainable financing by 2025. The main contribution towards environmentally sustainable development is derived from optimizing our properties by reducing energy consumption, increasing the share of
renewable energy and ensuring an environmentally certified property holding. The sustainable financing agreements are based on those parts of the property portfolio that are environmentally certified or have low energy consumption. Sustainable loans also decrease our funding costs as a result of a 5-10 b.p. reduction in interest margins.
Our long-term partnership with the banks, and our exclusive use of secured bank financing, contribute to ensuring a stable financial foundation. At the end of the quarter, we had a cash position of SEK 350 m, unutilized credit of just over SEK 750 m, and a loan-to-value ratio of 46 percent. This provides us with the financial room to manoeuvre needed to continue our growth journey with investments in the existing holding and development properties.
Demand for logistics properties remains high despite challenging conditions in the property sector. Our focus is on development properties, preferably with vacant premises and current high energy costs plus potential for extensions. This is where we can make sustainable investments that benefit the environment and the climate, that reduce operating costs, while simultaneously creating attractive logistics properties managed from a long-term perspective. To summarize, we can conclude that we are continuing to expand through a strong business model that delivers results, that we enjoy a strong financial position, and that we are continuously advancing our market positions with the aim of becoming an operator able to attract both major domestic and international customers.
SLP shall acquire, develop and manage logistics properties with a focus on sustainability.
To generate average annual growth in NAV per share of at least 15 percent and average annual growth in profit from property management per share of at least 15 percent.
In order to reach its overarching goals the company works with its own staff in five strategic areas: acquisitions, property development, property management, financing and sustainability.
Property management: SLP's property management is characterized by active customer dialogue, short decision paths and a long-term view.
Financing: The company ensures long-term and costefficient financing, and an optimized debt/equity ratio.
SLP shall continue to grow and therefore reinvest in its operations with the aim of generating further growth through property acquisitions and investments in new construction, conversions and extensions. This means that dividends will be low or zero over the coming years.
SLP strives to ensure sustainable working methods that contribute to improving the environment and society, today and for the future. We view sustainability as an integral part of our business model and daily work. SLP's sustainability work is based on the Group's business concept, Code of Conduct and other governing documents, as well as our sustainability policy and sustainability framework with related goals. By integrating sustainability, we shall create value for our stakeholders in both the short and long term.
We have chosen to call our sustainability framework Our Responsibility. It spans three focus areas – Planet, People and Business – and includes the company's key sustainability areas. Our Responsibility contains concrete goals, KPIs and activities in each focus area.
The framework is based on materiality analysis and stakeholder dialogues carried out. The goals linked to identified key sustainability areas have been adopted by the company's Board.

The full picture of the company's sustainability work and goal attainment is published annually in the annual report. Read more about our sustainability work here, link to sustainability reporting.
The main contribution we are making to environmentally sustainable development is optimizing our properties. Lower energy consumption, a higher proportion of renewable energy, resource optimization and environmental certification of our property holdings create value both for the planet and for SLP as a company.

SLP's properties are strategically located in attractive logistics locations in Sweden. At the end of the period, the property holdings comprised 95 properties with a total lettable area of 937,000 square metres, including ongoing new construction projects.
In order to present differences in the character of the property holdings according to whether the intention is to acquire, develop or manage the properties, we have divided the holdings into the following categories: property management, development, projects and building rights.
This category includes properties that are essentially fully developed and thereby generate stable cash flows.
This category covers the properties characterized by their potential to create value. It may for example include substantial vacancies, rental potential or the opportunity for cost reductions.
To create attractive logistics properties, ongoing new construction projects are carried out as well as adaptations for tenants in the form of extensions and new construction.
Acquiring properties that also have building rights and exploiting the building rights in existing holdings increase the lettable area further.
The following table presents the distribution of the property holdings according to this categorization and the current earnings ability as of 1 October 2023.

To create attractive logistics properties, SLP carries out ongoing new construction projects as well as adaptations for tenants in the form of conversions and extensions. The projects are carried out in close collaboration with our tenants.
At present, four major investment projects are in progress relating to new constructions and extensions over a total area of 85,400 square metres. During the period, tenants moved into properties representing approximately 12,000 square metres in completed projects in Södertälje and Landskrona. All new construction projects will have a minimum of Sweden Green Building Council Silver level certification or equivalent.
The following table presents projects with a value over SEK 25 m.
In the third quarter, the property Signalen 5, totalling 280,000 square metres in Hallsberg, was acquired. On this site, we are constructing environmentally certified premises with an area of 60,000 square metres and a 15-year rental agreement with Ahlsell. Read more about the project under Transactions.
During the quarter, we also acquired the property Stödstorp 2:22, where SLP is constructing environmentally certified premises over 18,100 square metres on behalf of Dachser Sweden.
In addition to the projects in the table below, several smaller rent-generating, cost-reducing or energy-saving projects are always in progress.

SLP has acquired and taken ownership of the property Vaggeryd Stödstorp 2:22 in Stigamo outside Jönköping. On the property, which has a total area of 46,200 square metres, we are constructing a logistics building with a lettable area of just over 18,000 square metres. We have signed an international triple net lease over 15 years for the entire lettable area. The annual rent, which is fully index-linked, amounts to approximately SEK 13.7 m. Construction started in the third quarter 2023, with planned move-in during the fourth quarter 2024. Solar panels will be installed on the building, which will be environmentally certified according to Sweden Green Building Council, Silver level.
We are delighted to acquire this new construction project in a prime logistics position, entirely in line with our strategy of acquiring, developing and managing logistics properties with a sustainability focus," commented Tommy Åstrand, CEO of SLP.

Rental value of acquired properties
SLP has acquired and taken ownership of a property totalling 280,000 square metres in Hallsberg and signed a 15-year rental agreement relating to the construction of an environmentally certified building of just over 60,000 square metres. The estimated total value of the transaction amounts to some SEK 800 m. The rental agreement, which spans 15 years, was signed with Ahlsell Sweden, and is index-linked to the CPI. The new construction has started and is expected to be completed by the end of 2024/beginning of 2025.
SLP was one of several Swedish and international property companies in talks with Ahlsell, and we are delighted and satisfied that they chose us as their landlord and partner in this transaction, which is one of the largest in our segment. The property, which covers all of 280,000 square metres of land, harbours the possibility of further expansion," commented Tommy Åstrand, CEO of SLP.

SLP's portfolio of contracts is long term and the properties are developed and managed in close collaboration with the tenants. The tenants operate in a variety of sectors, which is deemed to reduce the risk of vacancies and rental losses.
The company aims to ensure long and evenly spaced tenancy periods in order to minimize risk. At the end of the period, the remaining tenancy period was 6.2 years (6.2). Contracts representing 49 percent of the contractual annual rent expire after 2028.
Contractual annual rent was divided between 310 contracts (252) at the end of the period.
The tenants operate in a variety of industries, the largest being transport and logistics, and food retail.
The rental value of SLP's rental agreements, i.e. the contractual annual rent plus estimated market rent for vacant premises, amounted to SEK 623 m (440) at the end of the period. This corresponds to a rental value of SEK 731/m2 (652).
Contractual annual rent of SEK 588 m was impacted by rental discounts of SEK 10 m annually. Rental discounts are usually offered at the start of the lease and progressively phased out.
98 percent of the contractual annual rent is indexed through rental agreements linked to the CPI or has fixed increases, see the table Agreement structure – indexation.
At the end of the period, the financial letting ratio was 94.3 percent (93.9).
The 10 largest rental agreements at the end of the period accounted for 27 percent of the contractual annual rent and had an average remaining tenancy period of 9.2 years.

The table reflects the company's earnings ability on a 12 month basis as of 1 October 2023 based on properties where SLP had taken ownership as of the record date. Because this summary does not represent a forecast, and aims to reflect a normal year, actual outcomes may vary due to decisions and unexpected events.
Earnings ability does not include estimated changes in rental, vacancy or interest rates. Neither does the earnings ability presented take into account value changes, changes to the property holdings or derivatives.
Net operating income is based on contractual annual rent as of 1 October 2023 and property costs based on a normal year for the current holdings excluding major ongoing projects.
Rental income is impacted by rental discounts of SEK 10 m annually. Rental discounts are usually offered at the start of the lease and progressively phased out.
Financial income is based on the company's cash and cash equivalents on the record date at the applicable
Financial expenses are based on the company's interest rate at the end of the period including interest rate derivatives for interest-bearing liabilities on the record date, adjusted for borrowing attributable to major ongoing projects. From time to time, financing is temporarily more expensive in connection with acquisitions and new construction, this has been normalized in the calculation of net financial items.
Tax has been calculated at a standard rate on the basis of the applicable tax rate at each point in time.

Rental income amounted to SEK 430 m (301). The increase compared to the previous year primarily related to a larger property holding as a result of a high rate of acquisitions, but also to tenants moving into new construction projects, CPI adjustments and lettings of previously vacant spaces. As tenants cover a majority of utility costs themselves, the electricity subsidy was largely passed on to tenants and thus had only a marginal impact on rental income.
The financial letting ratio was 94.3 percent (93.9).
Property costs amounted to SEK –65 m (-56). The yearon-year increase in property costs
Rental income and net operating income, SEK m
related to an increased property holding as a result of a high acquisition rate. This is partly offset by lower costs relating to energy projects carried out.
Property costs include operating, utilities, and maintenance costs, and property tax and insurance. Most of the costs associated with utilities and property tax are invoiced to tenants.
Property administration amounted to SEK -4 m (-5) and relates to staff costs for property management and letting.
Net operating income for the period amounted to SEK 362 m (241).
Central administration costs amounted to SEK -17 m (-43). The decreased costs compared to the previous year were mainly due to non-recurring costs for the IPO completed in the previous year, which impacted central administration costs by SEK -25 m. Central administration costs include personnel costs, group-wide costs and marketing costs.
Net financial items for the period amounted to SEK -115 m (-50). The higher year-on-year financial expenses primarily related to new borrowing as a result of the increased property holding and a higher 3-month STIBOR interest rate.
The interest coverage ratio was 3.0 (3.9), compared to the financial risk threshold of a minimum multiple of 2.5. Ground rent for the period amounted to SEK -2 m (-2).
Profit from property management for the period amounted to SEK 228 m (145).
All properties were subject to an external valuation by Newsec at the end of the period.
The value change for the properties amounted to SEK 137 m (201) and comprised realized profit of SEK 5 m related to the sale of a building right on an existing property and unrealized value changes of SEK 132 m.
Unrealized value changes were positively affected during the period by new lettings and new construction projects, deferred tax deductions in connection with acquisitions, energy projects and assumptions related to increased CPI adjustments to 2024 rents, while a higher required rate of return had a negative effect. The valuation included the actual CPI adjustment to rent levels from January 2024 of 6 percent, compared with the 4 percent forecast at the end of the 2022 financial year. 98 percent of the company's rents are indexed.
The average direct return requirement in the valuations was 5.9 percent, which is 0.3 percentage points higher than at the start of the year.
Unrealized value changes in derivatives amounted to SEK 1 m (113).
The tax cost for the period amounted to SEK -85 m (-89) and was primarily due to deferred tax on unrealized value changes on investment properties, tax depreciation, derivatives, carry-forwards of tax losses and current tax.

At the end of the period, the property holding encompassed 95 properties with a total lettable area of 937,000 square metres, including major ongoing projects.
The carrying amount for all properties amounted to SEK 9,534 m (7,500) at the end of the period, including SEK 264 m (183) relating to major ongoing projects and SEK 105 m (67) relating to building rights with applicable zoning plans in existing properties. The building rights are estimated to correspond to approximately 150,000 square metres of lettable area.
The properties are recognized at fair value in accordance with IFRS 13 Level 3. The company's policy is that all of the property holdings are valued externally on a quarterly basis. The main method used in the valuation is cash flow calculations, which determine the present value of net operating income, investments and residual value. The calculation period is adjusted for the remaining term of the existing rental agreements, and varies between 5 and 20 years. The valuation includes a CPI adjustment of 6 percent for 2024. 98 percent of the company's rents are indexed.
All properties were subject to an external valuation by Newsec at the end of the period. The average direct return requirement in the valuations was 5.9 percent, which is 0.3 percentage points higher than at the start of the year.
Ongoing projects are valued according to the same principle as for investment properties, but with a deduction for the remaining investment. Unrealized value changes are added depending on the phase the project is in and the estimated remaining risk.
During the period, SLP carried out six acquisitions. Eight properties and an area of land were acquired with a total lettable area of approximately 197,000 square metres. Read more about acquisitions carried out in the Transactions section.
In the period, part of the land parcel at an existing property was subdivided and divested for a purchase consideration of SEK 9.3 m which generated a realized value change of approximately SEK 5 m.
During the period, a total of SEK 210 m (273) was invested in existing property holdings, in new construction, conversions and extensions as well as other investments. Other investments mainly related to tenant adaptations and projects aimed at reducing the properties' energy consumption.

Group equity amounted to SEK 4,594 m (3,653), corresponding to an equity/asset ratio of 45.2 percent (46.7) compared to the risk threshold minimum of 35 percent.

Moreover, all permanent employees have acquired warrants within the framework of the incentive programme authorized at the 2023 AGM, corresponding to 1.9 million shares, which contributed SEK 7.4 m to the company.
In the second quarter, the company conducted a directed new share issue of 22 million Class B shares at a subscription price of SEK 25, which contributed SEK 550 m to the company before issue expenses.
In connection with one of the acquisitions in the period, payment was made both in cash and in the form of sharebased consideration. The share-based consideration consisted of convertible debentures totalling SEK 33 m which were converted to Class B shares at a price of SEK 28.8.

The change in interest-bearing liabilities is linked to the financing of acquisitions and increased credit in connection with the
refinancing of existing liabilities. At the end of the period, the average interest rate including interest rate derivatives was 4.1 percent (2.4).
The higher interest rate is a result of a higher 3-month STIBOR interest rate, while the margin is unchanged year on year. The average credit margin was 1.53 percent (1.52). The average period for capital tied up was 1.5 years (2.5) and the fixed interest period 1.9 years (1.4). The proportion of loans with interest rate hedging via derivatives was 63 percent.
During the period, refinancing or new loan agreements were agreed with all of the company's banks at unchanged margins. The existing loan portfolio has also been renegotiated to comprise sustainable secured bank loans, which means that the proportion of sustainable loans was 50 percent at the end of the period. The financing agreements are based on those parts of SLP's property portfolio that are environmentally certified according to certain standards or have low energy use. These sustainable bank loans contain a margin discount of 5-10 basis points per year compared to existing loans.
Cash and cash equivalents amounted to SEK 358 m (75) at the end of the period. In addition to cash and cash equivalents, the company has access to available funds in the form of unutilized acquisition credits totalling SEK 200 m, an unutilized overdraft facility of SEK 100 m and approved secured property credits of SEK 468 m.

The company had 14 employees at the end of the period. The company has its own staff in acquisitions, property management, projects, letting, sustainability, financing and finance. Property caretakers and technicians are hired locally by partners close to where our properties are located to ensure all tenants have the best possible service.
The Parent Company provided property administration services to subsidiaries with a total value of SEK 12 m. All transactions with related parties have been priced on market terms.
The Group's operations, financial position and profit can be positively and negatively affected by risks and external factors. The estimated risks are mapped, evaluated and managed on an ongoing basis. For more information about risks and uncertainties, see the 2022 Annual Report.
An analysis and risk assessment of our operations and our tenants' operations was carried out regarding the war in Ukraine. We cannot see that any of our tenants' operations have any direct exposure to Russia. However, the operations, depending on which industry they operate in, could potentially be impacted indirectly due to inflation or any new sanctions. Furthermore, we have not noted any significant direct impact on SLP's operations in terms of cost increases, project delays or increased credit margins. However, the proportion of SLP's loans that do not have interest hedging via derivatives is impacted by the increased 3-month STIBOR interest rate. In the current circumstances, we assess the total impact as low.
The 2024 Annual General Meeting will be held in Malmö, Sweden, on 24 April 2024. Shareholders wishing to raise a matter at the AGM are invited to submit a written request by email to:
[email protected] or by post to Swedish Logistic Property AB, Strömgatan 2, 212 25 Malmö, Sweden. The request must be received by no later than seven weeks before the AGM in order to be included in the Notice and Agenda of the Meeting.
In order to prepare the company's financial statements in accordance with accepted accounting practice, the management and Board make judgements and assumptions that affect the recognition of assets and liabilities, and income and expenses, as well as other information presented in the accounts. Actual outcomes may differ from these estimates. Reporting is especially sensitive to judgements and assumptions that form the basis for the valuation of investment properties. For a sensitivity analysis, see the 2022 Annual Report.
This summary Interim Report has been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standards (IAS) 34 Interim Reporting. In the Report, IFRS refers to the application of the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) adopted by the EU and the interpretations of the International Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC).

The Parent Company applies the Annual Accounts Act and RFR 2 Accounting for Legal Entities.
The Group consists of a single segment, Investment properties.
The Report has been subject to a review engagement.
No significant events after the end of the period.

This information is such that Swedish Logistic Property AB (publ) is obliged to disclose in accordance with the EU's Market Abuse Regulation. The information was submitted for publication at 08.45am CEST on 26 October 2023.
The interim report is published in Swedish and English. The Swedish version is the original version and takes precedence over the English if it differ from the original.
We have reviewed the condensed interim financial information (interim report) of Swedish Logistic Property AB as of 30 September 2023 and the nine-month period then ended. The board of directors and the CEO are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the interim financial information in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim report based on our review.
We conducted our review in accordance with the International Standard on Review Engagements ISRE 2410, Review of Interim Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity. A review consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing, ISA, and other generally accepted auditing standards in Sweden. The procedures performed in a review do not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim report is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act, regarding the Group, and with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act, regarding the Parent Company.
