SIGNIFICANT EVENTS DURING THE FIRST QUARTER

• In January 2024, the rating institute Nordic Credit Rating (NCR) published an updated rating of Stendörren. Just like last year, the rating was BB- but now with an upgraded outlook, from stable to positive.
• In March 2024, Stendörren divested the industrial and warehouse property Botkyrka Varvet 1 to the Swedish Transport Administration for SEK 202 million. The property has a total lettable area of approximately 14,825 sqm and will be affected by the Swedish Transport Administration's road plan, the Södertörn Crosslink. The agreed property value in the transaction is in line with the latest valuation.

SIGNIFICANT EVENTS AFTER THE QUARTER

• No significant events after the quarter.

"Despite a weaker economy, we have delivered strong growth in net operating income and profit from property management, positive net letting and continued progress in project development.

During the quarter, we both started a project and completed a project, and on a rolling four quarter basis we completed seven new projects totaling more than 30,000 square meters with a high occupancy rate. Ongoing and recently completed projects are expected to add approximately SEK 75 million in net operating income following leasing and completion - a significant addition to our current net operating income.

We have recently raised our sustainability ambitions as we have already achieved, or are about to achieve ahead of time, several of our most important sustainability targets. The new and updated targets are more ambitious, clearer and more measurable. But above all, we have added the overall goal of net zero carbon emissions across our entire operations by 2040.

In dialogue with our banks, we increased our available liquidity, in the form of cash and credit facilities, to approximately SEK 655 million during the quarter. This gives us the financial strength to increase growth by taking advantage of opportunities in the market, both within project development and acquisitions."
