KLARABO SVERIGE AB – INTERIM REPORT 31 MARS 2025 2 | 31
Comments from the CEO:
Attractive segment in uncertain and volatile
landscape
Revenue increased 12 per cent during the quarter, driven by acquisition of the property portfolio in Helsingborg and
the general rent increases for the year. Net operating income and income from property management also trended
positively, increasing 13 per cent and 22 per cent, respectively. In addition to the aforementioned factors, this positive
performance was also due to efficient property management, continued value creation and cost control. The rent
negotiations for 2025 have been completed in essentially all municipalities where KlaraBo owns properties. We were
pleased to see that the general rent increase averaged 5 per cent for the entire property portfolio, which will help to
partly offset our increased costs.
Attractive housing at reasonable rents
Escalating geopolitical tensions, the start of a global trade
war and considerable uncertainty regarding macroeconomic
development worldwide has led to significant stock market
volatility in recent weeks. Against this backdrop, I am
surprised that the Swedish housing sector hasn’t received
more recognition, and that shares in listed housing
companies are still being traded at a significant discount to
net asset value. In my opinion, the segment should be
viewed as a secure and attractive investment for several
reasons, including low vacancy risk, falling market interest
rates and rising rent levels.
Although the need for new housing in Sweden has been
adjusted downwards, the underlying demand for housing is
still higher than the annual number of housing starts. KlaraBo
is, and aims to be, a growth company. With a diversified
portfolio of attractive housing at reasonable rents, a low
vacancy rate, significant potential for improvement, and
revenue increases that exceed its costs, the company has
the right conditions to continue its organic expansion. Our
financing costs are also highly predictable, and given the
current macroeconomic climate, there is further pressure to
lower the key interest rate, which bodes well for our business
model. Average annual growth in income from property
management per share has been 24 per cent since 2019,
while annual growth in net realizable value has been 17 per
cent for the same period. This confirms that the company
has performed well operationally during a challenging period,
with all the necessary conditions in place to continue along
this trajectory, alongside a more favourable stock market
climate for housing shares.
Acquisition of Helsingborg portfolio
As of 31 January, we gained access to a housing portfolio
comprising 740 apartments in Fredriksdal, Helsingborg, with
a lettable area of approximately 57,000 square metres. The
acquisition was conducted at a property value of SEK 850
million, corresponding to a square metre price of just under
SEK 15,000, and an estimated initial yield of more than 5 per
cent. The acquired housing portfolio is relatively large
compared with KlaraBo’s previous property portfolio,
===== SIDA 3 =====
KLARABO SVERIGE AB – INTERIM REPORT 31 MARS 2025 3 | 31
increasing the number of apartments by just over 10 per cent
and the number of apartments with renovation potential by
slightly more.
The transaction is in line with our long-term strategy to create
value by owning, developing and actively managing
attractive residential properties in growth regions. Given its
strategic location and opportunities for future improvement,
the portfolio is well aligned with our business model. The
acquisition has not only strengthened our presence in
Helsingborg, but also contributed to greater geographic
diversification. We now have four distinct clusters –
Helsingborg, Trelleborg, Visby and Östersund – which jointly
account for the majority of the portfolio’s market value. These
locations are characterised by stable population growth,
strong disposable incomes and ongoing infrastructure
investments, creating favourable conditions for long-term
value creation and low operational risk.
High activity level in existing portfolio
A total of 58 apartments were renovated, up more than 50
per cent compared with the preceding quarter. While many of
these renovations were related to our newly acquired
portfolio in Helsingborg, we also maintained the level of our
previous holdings, where we continue to see strong demand.
Renovating apartments increases their rental value and
creates long-term value. However, this will also have a
negative impact on our earnings capacity in the short term as
we voluntarily vacated more apartments than in previous
quarters. We expect to recover this decrease as the
apartments are completed and let.
These types of investments contribute to higher rental
revenue and lower operating and maintenance costs, where
energy savings are a key component. At the same time,
lower financing costs make the calculations for renovation
projects look increasingly attractive. The combination of
acquisitions, standard-raising measures and the general rent
increase led to an increase of SEK 83.4 million in the rental
value of our residential properties during the quarter. This is
a very positive outcome that clearly reflects the strength of
our proven business model and the impact of our continuous
improvement efforts and value creation.
Stable performance in a changing environment
Overall, we had a stable start to the year, with a continued
favourable performance in terms of both revenue and
earnings. Despite a world marked by geopolitical tensions
and uncertainty about macroeconomic developments, we
see that our business model remains strong. Combined with
efficient property management and an increasingly
favourable financing situation, our ability to continuously
create value within our existing portfolio ensures that we are
well equipped in this changing environment.

This is KlaraBo
KlaraBo is a real estate company that acquires,
builds, owns and manages attractive residential
properties. The company was formed in 2017 and
operates throughout the country. The strategy is to
acquire existing residential properties and land for
new construction in growth regions. The company’s
newly constructed apartments are developed in-
house and space efficient, which contributes to
reasonable rents. Both apartments and buildings are
designed in collaboration with the municipality to fit
local needs. Using mainly sustainable building
materials, the company’s new construction holds a
high environmental standard. KlaraBo is a long-term
property owner.
The company focuses on residential properties, which comprised 89 per cent of contracted rents on 31 March. As of 31 March,
KlaraBo’s property portfolio had a lettable area of approximately 555,000 square metres distributed across 7,432 apartments
and a number of premises with contracted annual rent of about SEK 730 million. The portfolio also includes 809 apartments
under project development.
Strategy
KlaraBo’s overall strategy can be summarised as follows:
Acquisitions of residential properties, preferably with the potential for renovation, in growth regions.
Value-creating measures in existing investment properties, increasing revenue and reducing costs.
Acquisitions of land and development rights for the new construction of housing units for long-term ownership.
New construction of sustainable and environmentally certified, high-quality, functional, cost- and space-efficient housing units
through self-developed and industrially produced KlaraBo buildings.
The focus of the strategy is adapted to market conditions and available opportunities. Currently, KlaraBo is primarily focusing on
acquisitions and value-creating measures within the existing portfolio.
Dividend policy
KlaraBo will eventually issue dividends, but the immediate priority will be growth through acquisitions, along with investments in
the existing portfolio and in the company’s project portfolio.
Overall goal
KlaraBo’s overall goal is to create value for the company’s shareholders on a long-term basis by owning, developing and
actively managing sought-after residential properties in growth regions with robust demand. Value creation is measured as
growth in net realizable value and income from property management per share.
Operational goals
The rental trend for our existing housing units that can be
renovated is to significantly exceed the general annual
rental increase through active management and
investments.
Sustainability goals
The company has established goals in the following areas:
climate and energy, circular society, secure and pleasant
neighbourhoods, employees and sustainable business. For
complete sustainability goals, refer to page 20.
Financial goals
KlaraBo is to achieve average annual growth in net
realizable value per share of at least 15 per cent
including any value transfers over the course of a
business cycle.
KlaraBo is to achieve average annual growth in income
from property management per share of at least 12 per
cent over the course of a business cycle.
The interest-coverage ratio is to exceed a multiple of
1.75 over time.
The loan-to-value ratio is to remain under 60 per cent
over time.

Property portfolio
KlaraBo’s portfolio of investment properties reaches across Sweden, from Trelleborg in the south to
Umeå in the north and Visby in the east. The majority of the portfolio consists of residential properties.
The properties are divided into four geographic regions: South, East, Central and North. The company
focuses on investment properties in cities with growing populations and strong labour markets.
The property holdings consist of 233 properties with a total lettable area of approximately 555,000 square metres, excluding
parking spaces and garages.
KlaraBo works on the basis of a customer-oriented property management model under its own management, which enables
continual optimisation of operating costs and cost control.
Our management model
Investment properties
Focus on attractive housing
units in strong locations with a
growing population and strong
labour market. Focus on
locations with good returns at
limited risk.
Own
management
Own management permits
continual optimisation and
control of operating and
maintenance costs as well as a
focus on the surplus ratio.
Measures to raise standards
Focus on customised value-
creating customer offering of
measures in properties that
raise the general standard and
promote increased net
operating income.
Value-creating renovation
Active renovation strategy is
routinely implemented in the
event of tenant relocation,
which increases the property
value and promotes improved
cash flow. The design is
adapted to the local market.
During the quarter, the company invested SEK 29.2 million (38.5) in existing investment properties, with the primary investment
measure being total renovations that add value. Total renovation means that the apartments are renovated in conjunction with
natural turnover in the portfolio. Renovation measures are carried out when an existing tenant vacates the apartment and is
concluded before a new tenant moves in. The renovation takes four to six weeks, and the apartment is advertised as vacant
during that time, which has a temporary negative impact on the economic occupancy rate.
===== SIDA 7 =====
KLARABO SVERIGE AB – INTERIM REPORT 31 MARS 2025 7 | 31
Measures to raise standards
One of the company’s operational goals is for the rental trend for housing units to exceed the general
annual rental increase through active management and investments. The graph below shows the
company’s fulfilment of this goal, with the rental trend exceeding the general increase by 17.2
percentage points weighted per square metre since 2019.
Rental value performance
The annual rent negotiations for 2025 were concluded, which resulted in a rent increase for housing units of 4.9 per cent for the
entire portfolio. Adjusted for the annual rent increase, the rental value for homes increased by 0.8 percentage points in the
period.
A core part of KlaraBo’s strategy is to continually take measures to increase the value of its existing portfolio, both measures
that increase revenue and those that reduce costs. KlaraBo ensures that apartments in need of renovation meet today’s
standards, with modern kitchens, bathrooms and energy-efficient installations. These measures contribute to increasing the
value of the entire portfolio in the long term as well as reducing operating and maintenance costs over time.

Number of total renovations performed
For KlaraBo, maintaining this level of renovation requires a relatively constant natural shift in the portfolio and turnover of
unrenovated apartments. A total of 58 apartments underwent total renovations during the quarter, a sharp increase compared
with the preceding quarter. The portfolio recently taken possession of in Helsingborg added 18 apartments during the quarter.
In addition to total renovation of apartments, KlaraBo focuses on adapting customer offerings through general measures to raise
the standard of the apartments. This is achieved by offering existing tenants various choices that lead to increased customer
satisfaction and simultaneously raise the actual rental value above the general annual rent negotiations.
Contracted annual rent, SEK m Potential value per apartment
The above diagram illustrates contracted annual rent for the existing
management portfolio as of 31 March 2025, with an additional bar for
expected contracted rent after renovation of the existing unrenovated
portfolio.
The diagram above shows the value before and after raising the yield
requirement as well as the effect of the net increase in value with an
ROT renovation of an example apartment. The example shows how
ROT renovations counteract any declines in value associated with an
increase in the yield requirement. The figures above are based on an
actual apartment in the company’s portfolio in Trelleborg.

Project development and new construction
KlaraBo works with the entire value chain for rental apartments, from project development through
construction to own management. For the company, business development is about pursuing projects
from idea to completed construction. Value is thus created regardless of whether we focus on improving
our existing properties or on entirely new project ideas.
Product development and new construction are carried out by actively seeking prospects in the private sector and through
participation in municipal land allocation competitions, canvassing of municipalities for direct allocations of land, densification of
our own properties and acquisitions of properties with existing or potential development rights. The process is based on an
analysis in which the population trend, the functional labour market and the payment capacity of the market are investigated.
KlaraBo strives to have the lowest possible carbon footprint when building new housing. The company works actively to choose
materials with the lowest possible climate impact and aims to secure environmental certification for all of its newly produced
buildings.
To gain more knowledge and support the sustainable development of the areas where the company operates, we also
participate in local sustainable development initiatives, such as LFM30, Malmö’s local roadmap for climate-neutral
reconstruction by 2030.
The number of development rights for apartments in the project development portfolio is 809.
Project portfolio
The company’s land allocation “Öster om mässan” in Hyllie in Malmö consists of two blocks with a total of 300 apartments
together with OBOS. The project is Malmö Municipality’s first Mallbo project in which new construction with lower rent is being
enabled in part through lower parking standards and discounted site leasehold fees. The project is scheduled to be carried out
in stages, with slightly more than half of the space planned to be tenant-owner apartments and the rest rental apartments. The
land allocation agreement for the project is completed and signed, which means that the previous assessments with regard to
completion remain unchanged. Planning of the programme documentation has started, with the aim of beginning construction of
the properties in early 2026.

KLARABO SVERIGE AB – INTERIM REPORT 31 MARS 2025 11 | 31
The development agreement for the densification project at the Bogen 1 property in Visby on Gotland has been slightly delayed,
but the hope is that it can be completed in early 2025 and that the detailed development plan can be adopted during the second
half of 2025. The building permit process for the first stage is planned shortly thereafter, with production starting as soon as the
market allows. On Gotland, KlaraBo also applied to revise the detailed development plan for the Stäven 1 property in order to
add additional housing. A dialogue with Region Gotland is ongoing and work is expected to begin in the second half of 2025.
The purchase agreement for part of the Fängelset 2 property in Kristianstad was conditional on a detailed development plan
gaining legal force, which had not taken place by the specified deadline. Given that the market and global environment have
changed significantly since the agreement was entered into, the company has chosen to return the development right since the
price does not reflect current conditions.
The detailed development plan for the Ålen 1, Ålen 2 and Ålen 4 properties in Vaggeryd – which permits the three existing
buildings to be extended by one floor totalling approximately 3,000 square metres GFA and a densification consisting of five
new four-storey buildings totalling approximately 8,800 square metres GFA – has been adopted and is expected to gain legal
force in May.
For a full overview of ongoing construction and project development as of 31 March 2025, see below.

Earnings analysis, January–March 2025
The income statement items below pertain to the quarter from 1 January to 31 March. Comparison items pertain to the year-
earlier period. All amounts are in SEK million.
Note 1 Revenue
Revenue for the quarter amounted to SEK 175.1 million (156.7), a year-on-year increase of 11.8 per cent. The increase was
mainly attributable to the acquisition in Helsingborg and the annual rent negotiations for 2025. The rent negotiations concluded
with a weighted average rent increase of 4.9 per cent. The transaction in the autumn, which comprised both divestments and
acquisitions of properties, had a negative net impact on revenue for the quarter compared with the same quarter last year. The
rate of renovation increased sharply during the quarter due to the acquisition in Helsingborg, with 58 ROT renovations carried
out. This higher rate of renovation meant that more apartments were voluntarily vacated than in the past, resulting in a slight
decline in the economic occupancy rate. As the number of vacant apartments decreases upon completion of the renovations,
this will have a long-term positive impact on both cash flow and value for the company.
Note 2 Costs
The Group’s costs encompass operating and maintenance costs, property tax, property administration, insurance and other
property management costs.
Operating costs primarily pertain to costs for heating, electricity and water consumption, and waste management and amounted
to SEK -91.9 million (-83.3) for the quarter. Costs increased 10.4 per cent, mainly due to new acquisitions. Costs for portfolios
on a like-for-like basis rose merely 3.2 per cent, despite significant increases in tariff-based costs. These increases were
mitigated by milder weather during the period and a biogas tax refund of SEK 0.9 million. In accordance with the current
decision from the Swedish Tax Agency, the right to a refund of biogas tax extends through 2030.
Mandatory, non-annual regulatory inspections were carried out on parts of the portfolio, resulting in higher repair and
maintenance costs on a year-on-year basis.
Note 3 Net operating income and surplus ratio
Net operating income for the quarter amounted to SEK 83.2 million (73.4), corresponding to a year-on-year increase of 13.3 per
cent. The surplus ratio was 47.5 per cent (46.9).
Note 4 Central administrative costs
Central administrative costs include costs for senior management and central support functions for both property management
and project operations.
Central administrative costs for the quarter totalled SEK -13.8 million (-12.3). The increased costs were partly attributable to
non-recurring start-up costs related to the acquisition of Helsingborg.
Note 5 Financial income/expenses
Financial income/expenses totalled SEK -44.6 million (-40.9) for the quarter. The increase was due to higher loan volumes and
the maturity of interest-rate swaps with favourable fixed interest rates. During the quarter, KlaraBo raised new loans totalling
SEK 510 million in order to finance the acquisition in Helsingborg. The margin for this loan is below the average loan portfolio
margin, which was 1.43 per cent as of the balance sheet date. The loan has a term of three years.
KlaraBo’s interest-rate hedging ratio amounted to 69.1 per cent (79.4) of the loan volume.
Note 6 Changes in value
The Group’s investment properties are appraised on a quarterly basis, and a full external valuation is conducted of each
appraisal object at least once a year. During the quarter, a desktop appraisal was conducted by the independent authorised
appraiser Savills. Each property is individually inspected based on a rolling three-year schedule and appraised based on the
material available regarding the property as well as the external appraisers’ market information and historical assessments.
During the quarter, the properties recorded a value change of SEK 240 million (-45.3), which can be explained by a range of
factors. On the positive side, an increased number of standard-enhancing measures during the quarter, higher outcomes from
the general rent increase, and higher assumed rent increases for the coming years contributed to a value uplift of SEK 190
million. On the downside, a higher assumption regarding cost inflation and slightly higher yield requirements contributed
negatively by SEK -90 million. Approximately SEK 110 million relates to the value change for the portfolio in Helsingborg, driven
by a revised view on yield requirements and future rent increases. The transaction was carried out off-market, with valuation
assumptions made during the summer/autumn of 2024, after which comparable residential transactions have taken place on the
market. In addition, the reversal of deferred tax attributable to the acquisition in Helsingborg contributed approximately SEK 30
million.
===== SIDA 14 =====
KLARABO SVERIGE AB – INTERIM REPORT 31 MARS 2025 14 | 31
At the end of the period, the average yield requirement for the entire portfolio was approximately 4.9 percent, and the yield
requirement for the residential properties in the portfolio was 4.8 percent.
The change in value for the Group’s derivative portfolio in the quarter amounted to SEK 16.7 million (44.2) and was attributable
to the Group’s interest-rate derivatives. The positive trend during the quarter was due to changed assumptions regarding future
market interest rates. The effect only impacts the company’s accounting and not its cash flow, and at the end of the derivative
contract, the value is zero.
Note 7 Tax expense
Tax expense for the quarter amounted to SEK -52.2 million (-15.4), of which SEK -48.1 million (-9.5) pertained to deferred tax
related to changes in the value of investment properties and derivatives. Current tax amounted to SEK -4.1 million (-5.9).

Comments on consolidated financial position
The amounts and comparative figures of balance-sheet items refer to the position at the end of the period this year, and the end
of the year-earlier period. All amounts are in SEK million.
Note 8 Investment properties
The Group's investment properties including project development properties are recognised at fair value in accordance with
IFRS 13 Level 3. For project development properties, a predetermined portion of the unrealised change in value between fair
value upon completion and total estimated production costs is recognised in pace with the degree of completion. This is done in
accordance with an escalation model adopted by the Group.
The Group’s investment properties were appraised at SEK 10,328.6 million (9,020.3) at the end of the period, of which project
development properties accounted for SEK 17.9 million (19.2), site leaseholds valued in accordance with IFRS 16 accounted for
SEK 10.6 million (10.6) and the remainder, SEK 10,300.1 million (8,990.5), pertained to existing investment properties.

Financing
Note 12 Financing
Interest-bearing liabilities
Interest-bearing liabilities pertain primarily to financing of the Group’s investment properties. Financing for investment properties
amounted to SEK 5,378.2 million (4,908.6) on the balance sheet date. Lease liabilities according to IFRS 16 amounted to SEK
12.8 million (14.1) and pertained to a site leasehold and office properties. Lease liabilities are excluded from the following table
presenting credit lock-in periods and fixed-rate terms. Repayments for the next 12 months amounted to SEK 60.3 million (48.2)
at the end of the period. The Group’s cash equivalents totalled SEK 144.6 million (161.4) and, in addition, KlaraBo has available
credit facilities amounting to SEK 200 million. The fair value of the liabilities does not differ significantly from the carrying
amount. The loan-to-value ratio for the Group on 31 March 2025 was 50.7 per cent (52.6).
Maturity and fixed interest
KlaraBo is to have a limited financial risk. On 31 March 2025, KlaraBo’s financing primarily comprised borrowings in four Nordic
banks. KlaraBo has well-established partnerships with these banks and engages in a continuous dialogue regarding financing
issues. During the period, a new loan of SEK 510 million was raised in order to partially finance the acquisition in Helsingborg.
The margin for this loan is below the average loan portfolio margin, which was 1.43 per cent as of the end of the period. A
dialogue is ongoing regarding refinancing of credits that mature in August 2025, and the Group expects to be able to extend
these credits on during spring 2025 on terms comparable with those for the Group’s most recent financing.
The Group’s loan portfolio consists mainly of credits with a floating interest rate but also fixed rate credits. To hedge against
fluctuations in the interest-rate market and reduce interest-rate risk, interest-rate derivatives are utilised to impact the fixed-rate
term. The total derivative portfolio amounted to SEK 2,750 million (2,750) at the end of the period. The loan portfolio’s fixed-rate
term amounted to 2.8 years (3.5). Including fixed interest-rate credits, the Group’s interest-rate hedging ratio, meaning the share
of liabilities that had a fixed-interest rate, was 69.1 per cent (79.4). Cash flow from the Group’s interest-rate swaps and
swaptions remained positive, which limited KlaraBo’s interest expenses. The average interest rate, including derivatives, was
3.4 per cent (3.5) on the balance sheet date. The year-on-year change was attributable to lower market interest rates and lower
margins on the credits renegotiated during the year as well as new loans.
The fair value of the interest-rate derivative portfolio amounted to SEK 6.1 million (7.4) at the end of the period. The year-on-
year change in the value of the derivative portfolio was due to new swaps entered into with higher interest rates than the swaps
that matured and to a decline in market interest rates.

The Group has a swaption with a nominal value of SEK 300 million and a fixed rate of interest of 2.58 per cent; the potential start date for this swaption is 15 May 2025. Since the swaption did
not impact the average fixed-rate term, it was excluded from the tables presenting credit lock-in periods and fixed-rate terms above as well as the table presenting swaps outstanding. After the
end of the quarter, a swap was signed with a nominal amount of SEK 250 million with a fixed interest rate of 2.25 percent and a term of 2 years.

Sustainability
KlaraBo’s sustainability agenda is based on the UN Sustainable Development Goals within the three
dimensions of ESG (environmental, social and governance).
On the basis of a stakeholder dialogue and double materiality assessment, we have identified six key areas where we, as a
company, can make the biggest difference and promote the development of a sustainable society. Goals have been formulated
in the respective areas, and a selection of these is presented below.
ENVIRONMENT
Climate and energy
Only renewable energy will be used for electricity, heating and vehicles in our operation by
2030. We are to be climate-neutral in our entire value chain by 2045.
Wooden frames are to receive priority for new construction.
We are to climate-proof our property portfolio.
Resource-efficient neighbourhoods
It will be possible to sort household waste in all of our neighbourhoods.
70 per cent of all construction materials will be sorted for recycling in connection with
conversions and new construction.
Before renovating an apartment, we will take an inventory of which products can be preserved
or reused.
SOCIAL
Our employees
We will have reached a long-term even gender distribution (40/60) and reflect society with
respect to international background by no later than 2025.
Enable internal career development/career advances for at least five employees per year.
Examples include taking on a new role or expanded/new responsibility within the employee’s
current function.
All employees will be provided with introductory training in KlaraBo’s sustainability work and
Code of Conduct.
Secure and pleasant neighbourhoods
We will perform an annual security round in all of our neighbourhoods.
We will offer 50 summer jobs or employment opportunities to residents of our residential
areas, through 2025.
We will establish partnerships with local sports organisations in all of our neighbourhoods,
with the aim of creating meaningful recreational activities for young people.
People in our value chain
100 per cent sign-off on the Code of Conduct (internally) and prepare a Code of Conduct for
Suppliers.
GOVERNANCE
Responsible business
No reported cases in the whistleblower function.

When children and young people have access to meaningful recreational activities, the entire neighbourhood becomes stronger.
Sustainability-related activities during the quarter
Introduction for new employees:
We held an introduction and review of KlaraBo’s sustainability work for new employees, with the aim of providing knowledge and
ensuring commitment to our priority sustainability areas at an early stage.
Partnerships for stronger neighbourhoods:
To promote social sustainability and contribute to secure and pleasant neighbourhoods, we devoted greater focus to activities
for children and young people by establishing new partnerships with local sports clubs in the communities where we operate.
This summer, for example, we will begin a partnership with Bollnäs GIF FF to introduce a KlaraBo football school for children
between the ages of 6 and 12.
“For us, property management is about more than looking after properties. It’s about creating environments where people thrive
and grow,” says Peter Zetterlund, Area Manager Region North.
Further partnerships are currently being planned to continue promoting physical activity, a sense of community, and recreation
for children and young people in our neighbourhoods.
Fossil-free transition:
We continued our efforts to phase out fossil fuels used for electricity, heating and the vehicle fleet in line with our climate targets.
During the quarter, we switched to electricity from renewable sources in more properties and took steps towards replacing our
fossil-fuel service vehicles with electric or hybrid alternatives.
The Omnibus proposal:
In February 2025, the European Commission proposed amendments through Omnibus I, including on the application of the
Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD). These amendments have not yet been adopted and have not been
enacted in Swedish legislation. If they are enacted as proposed, KlaraBo would no longer be subject to the CSRD framework.
Our sustainability agenda remains unchanged, and we are continuing to pursue our established goals. Regardless of future
reporting requirements, we will always ensure that our stakeholders receive appropriate and sufficient information about our
sustainability performance.

Current earnings capacity
Earnings capacity on a 12-month basis for KlaraBo’s property management operations as of 31 March is presented in the table
below. It is important to note that earnings capacity is not a forecast and should only be considered as a theoretical snapshot for
the purposes of illustration. The current earnings capacity does not include an assessment of the future trends for rents,
vacancy rate, property expenses, interest, value changes, purchases or sales of properties or other factors.
Earnings capacity is based on the contracted rental revenue of the property portfolio, assessed property expenses during a
normal year as well as expenses for property administration and central administration assessed on an annual basis based on
the current scale of administration. Expenses for interest-bearing liabilities are based on the current interest-bearing liability and
the Group’s average interest rate level including the effects of derivatives. Earnings capacity does not reflect all of the costs for
the property management operations.
Current earnings capacity, 12 months
Earnings capacity attributable to rental revenue increased SEK 73.2 million during the quarter, mainly due to the acquisition of a
total of 740 apartments in Helsingborg. Rent increases for 2025 were completed at a weighted average of 4.9 per cent, with the
rental value for portfolios on a like-for-like basis increasing SEK 6.2 million isolated for the quarter. In addition, a terminated
premises lease with a retail chain in Västervik reduced revenue by SEK 1.5 million on an annual basis, but this was partly offset
by a new premises lease signed with a healthcare provider and the 58 ROT renovations completed during the quarter.
Renovation activity increased significantly during the quarter compared with previous quarters, in line with the company’s
improvement strategy. Since a larger share of apartments were voluntarily vacated for ROT renovations, vacancy rent had a
temporary negative impact of approximately SEK 4.7 million on revenue, which reduced earnings attributable to revenue
allocated to apartments under renovation. Since earnings capacity provides a snapshot, apartments renovated and let after the
closing date are not included in the table.
Property expenses were updated according to the estimated cost outcome for Fredriksdal based on acquisition information.
Central administrative costs increased due to the addition of employees from recent acquisitions and the upward adjustment of
payroll costs related to annual salary reviews.
Financial expenses rose as a result of new loans totalling SEK 510 million related to the acquisition in Helsingborg.

KLARABO SVERIGE AB – INTERIM REPORT 31 MARS 2025 27 | 31
Risks and opportunities for
the Group and Parent Company
In order to prepare accounts according to generally accepted accounting principles and IFRS, company management must
make assessments and assumptions that affect recognised assets and liabilities as well as revenues and costs in the financial
statements, as well as affecting other information provided. The actual results may deviate from these assessments. Estimates
and assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are deemed reasonable given the prevailing
conditions. The Group’s operations and the financial position and earnings can be affected, both directly and indirectly, by a
number of risks, uncertainties and external factors.
The Group’s operations are dependent on general financial and political trends, particularly in Sweden, which can impact
demand for housing and premises. All identified risks are continuously monitored, and risk-reducing measures are implemented
if required to limit their impact.
A summary of the most substantial risks and opportunities for the Group is presented below. For other information, refer to the
Annual Report.
Financial risk
KlaraBo’s most significant financial risks comprise interest-rate risk, financial risk and liquidity risk. Interest-rate risk is defined as
non-controllable increase in interest expense. Interest-rate risk is expressed as a change of expenses for the interest-bearing
liabilities if the interest rate changes by 1 percentage point. Financing risk pertains to the risk that expenses for raising new
loans or other financing becomes higher and/or that refinancing loans outstanding becomes more difficult or occurs on
disadvantageous terms. Liquidity risk refers to the risk of not being able to meet payment obligations due to insufficient liquidity
or difficulties in obtaining financing. KlaraBo requires access to liquidity to finance ongoing projects, manage operations and
settle due payments of interest and repayment instalments. KlaraBo’s growth targets are dependent on healthy access to cash
and cash equivalents to enable several projects to be started and pursued in parallel.
All of the risks above are regulated in the financial policy adopted by the Board of Directors. KlaraBo addresses these risks
operationally through measures such as interest rate and capital hedging of its debt portfolio, maintaining a favourable and
proactive dialogue with the Group’s partners and continuously monitoring the Group’s liquidity situation. KlaraBo’s work is
governed in part by internal targets for each risk category and in part by the Group’s overall financial targets and risk limits. This
is intended to limit the financial risks and to achieve a favourable long-term trend in net financial items. Furthermore, under
existing loan agreements, KlaraBo is required to monitor and report on a number of key figures on a quarterly basis.
Opportunities and risks in the values of the properties
KlaraBo recognises investment properties at fair value, and the property portfolio is appraised at least once each year by
independent external appraisers. Changes in the value of properties are included in profit or loss. Changes in the value of
properties have a significant impact on profit for the period and contribute to more volatile earnings. The value of the properties
is determined by supply and demand, in which the price is mainly dependent on the property’s expected operating surplus and
the buyer’s yield requirements. Higher demand leads to a lower yield requirement, and an upward price adjustment as a result,
whereas weaker demand has the opposite effect. In the same way, a positive operating surplus trend leads to an upward price
adjustment, while a negative trend has the opposite effect. The rental concept is comprised partly of the actual rental level and
partly of the vacancy risk of the property portfolio. Property valuation should take into account an interval of uncertainty to reflect
the inherent uncertainty of assumptions and estimates.

KLARABO SVERIGE AB – INTERIM REPORT 31 MARS 2025 28 | 31
Ongoing projects
Information on ongoing projects in the interim report is based on assessments concerning the size, direction and scope of
ongoing projects as well as when the projects are expected to commence and be completed. Information is also based on
assessments of future project costs and rental value. Assessments and assumptions should not be viewed as a forecast.
Assessments and assumptions involve uncertainties concerning the projects’ completion, design and size, schedule as well as
project expenses and future rental value. Information concerning ongoing projects in the interim report is regularly re-evaluated,
and assessments and assumptions are adjusted in line with the completion or addition of ongoing projects and when conditions
change. Financing has not been procured for projects where construction has not begun, which means that financing of ongoing
projects is an uncertainty.
Financing
Bank financing is KlaraBo’s primary source of financing, and the Group has no bonds. The lack of bond financing is a strength
since this type of financing is impacted to a greater degree by rising market rates, which is generally more expensive in periods
of market turbulence and carries a higher risk in connection with refinancing. Changes in underlying market interest rates are
impacting the portion of the loan portfolio that carries variable interest and that has not been converted to fixed interest using
interest-rate derivatives. This, in turn, is impacting the interest-coverage ratio, which shows the Group’s sensitivity to changes in
interest rates and how many times the Group will be able to pay its interest with earnings from operating activities. KlaraBo is
following the development closely and simulates sensitivity to enable action to be taken as needed.
The company has a stable financial position. On 31 March 2025, cash and cash equivalents amounted to SEK 144.6 million and
undrawn credit facilities to SEK 200 million.
Operational risk
KlaraBo is in the midst of a phase of expansion and has identified a number of growth-oriented targets. Risks and opportunities
connected to reaching the growth targets involve continued access to new projects, key personnel and the risk management of
projects (concerning time, costs and quality). Changing yield requirements, along with financing and energy costs, created
uncertainty regarding values, which is affecting the market.
Conditions for new construction of homes have worsened quickly since the beginning of 2022. Significantly higher financing
costs combined with increased yield requirements and higher construction costs have generally led to a rapid and drastic
slowdown in housing construction. The impact on KlaraBo’s projects in progress is limited, but there is a risk that it could have a
negative impact on future projects in both the short and long term.
Other disclosures
Market outlook
KlaraBo’s offering meets the market’s demand for good housing at the right price. The Group’s assessment is that demand
remains strong in the areas where KlaraBo operates and that there is still a structural housing shortage in many cities in
Sweden.
Organisation and employees
The Parent Company of the Group is KlaraBo Sverige AB. The Group comprises wholly owned subsidiaries and jointly
controlled companies. The average number of employees in the period was 68 (64), of whom 25 were women (20) and 43 men
(44).
Accounting policies
KlaraBo’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the EU adopted International Financial
Reporting Standards (IFRS) and interpretations therein (IFRS IC). This interim report has been prepared in accordance with IAS
34 Interim Financial Reporting. In addition, suitable provisions of the Swedish Annual Accounts Act have been applied. The
accounting and valuation principles applied are unchanged compared with the Annual Report. The Parent Company has
prepared its financial reports in conformity with the Annual Accounts Act and RFR 2 Accounting for Legal Entities. RFR 2
requires that the Parent Company applies the same accounting principles as the Group, which is to say IFRS to the scope that
RFR 2 permits.
For complete accounting policies, refer to KlaraBo’s 2024 Annual Report. Accounting policies are unchanged compared with the
2024 Annual Report.
Transactions with related parties
The Group’s related-party circle consists of all Board members, the CEO and members of senior management as well as their
related parties and companies.
