CEO'S STATEMENT

Expanding our management business

The acquisition of Järntorget has been successful, both commercially and culturally. We are pleased with our new, skilled, colleagues and hope that everyone from Järntorget feels at home with us. After an intensive autumn with the integration of Järntorget, I can now tell you more about the next exciting project.

Following the acquisition, we analysed the potential of our ­overall building rights portfolio. In addition to the building rights being ­delivered to Nyttobostäder, we have identified around 11,000

building­ rights in Stockholm that are suitable to be managed

­properties. These are the basis for the joint management company that we now intend to form with Corem. With a joint building rights portfolio of 24,000 residential units, the new company will become one of Sweden's largest residential property managers over the next ten years. The initial portfolio is estimated to have an operating income of over SEK 2 billion when it is fully developed. Our goal, together with Corem, is to list the company on the stock market in 2022 to create a good capital structure and give it the conditions for further expansion.

RESTRUCTURING OF PROJECT DEVELOPMENT

Part of the Project Development business area will be included in the formation of the new property management company. The remaining part will focus on completing deliveries to Svenska

Nyttobostäder­and the private customer market in the Stockholm area with a portfolio comprising of almost 3,000 residential units, of which 222 were in production in Q3. This business has the same focus as JM, Besqab, Aros Bostad and various other companies. The Project Development business area is therefore continuing to develop the business that was once the basis of ALM Equity

- housing development for the private market.

PROMOTING EXTERNAL CONTRACTORS

The Construction Management business area is currently busy ­delivering to Group companies, but gradually the aim is to also

expand­ via external assignments. We see great potential in ­developing this business area through acquisitions, both to increase capacity and perform backward integration.

DIVIDEND DISTRIBUTION

After the end of the quarter, we decided on a dividend on elements of the holding in Svenska Nyttobostäder. We reduced ownership by 5.2%. The intention is to reduce ALM Equity's controlling influence so as not to consolidate the holding in Svenska Nyttobostäder. Our holding then becomes a financial asset, and we can show the values that are created more clearly. With a broader spread of ownership, there will be more trading in the shares and therefore better liquidity and more accurate pricing, which will benefit our shareholders.

external­ shoots, which when they have grown are planted in larger pots where they can bear fruit that our owners can harvest. The

businesses­ become successful when they develop independently. We take responsibility as the main owner to ensure that we deliver

according to the plan that was the basis for the spin-off.

Our valuations of our operations show how value is gradually created; the total value has increased by SEK 1.8 billion from Q1 to Q3. The change is largely due to two factors: SEK 1.1 billion from unrealized values, primarily in the Project Development business area, a part coming from the acquisition of Järntorget and

SEK 0.7 billion from newly issued shares.

I am extremely grateful to all the employees who work hard to build the business and to the owners and financiers who show ­confidence in us. I promise not to disappoint you, so full speed ahead!

DEVELOPING BUSINESSES

It is one year since the listing of Svenska Nyttobostäder andJoakim Alm, CEO we have already laid the foundation for another management

­transaction with the potential to become even larger. This is how we create shareholder value. You could compare ALM Equity to a greenhouse. We let our businesses grow, sometimes with

Market valuation and adjusted net asset values

The market value is distributed between ALM Equity's shareholders as follows: SEK 1.7 billion to preference shareholders and SEK 10.1 billion to ordinary shareholders.

This corresponds to an adjusted net asset value per ordinary share of SEK 948, which corresponds to a discount of 21% compared with the share price on 30 September 2021

During Q3, the total market value increased by SEK 0.5 billion, which was through unrealized surplus values from the operations. The year's total change in value comes from SEK 1.1 billion in unrealized changes in value from the operations attributable to ordinary shareholders. The remainder comes from new issues where approximately SEK 0.3 billion in ordinary share capital and

SEK 0.4 billion in preference share capital has been added.

VALUATION METHOD

In the Property Management business area, the holding in Svenska Nyttobostäder has been valued at the share price as of 30 September 2021. No value has been attributed to the management business in the other part of the ALM Property Management business area, where there are agreements for the acquisition of approximately 1,000 managed properties. Nor has any value been attributed for the Digital Services business area.

For the Project Development and Construction Management business areas, the holding has been valued externally by PwC, which has carried out a discounted cash flow valuation. The result of discounted cash flow valuation has been reconciled using a relative valuation based on price-­ related key figures for comparable companies.

For the Project Development business area, a required return on

equity of 11.9% has been applied up to and including the year 2027. For 2028 ­onwards, a return requirement of 14.9% has been used to reflect greater risk in the future building rights port­ folio. This valuation takes into account that there is co-ownership in the form of preference shareholders who have invested in parts of the projects.

For the Construction Management business area, a required rate of return of 13.2% was used throughout the period. In the valuation, the sole customer is assumed to be ALM Småa Bostad in an ongoing business relationship. As a result, the customer concentration has not been considered in the valuation.

The valuation is updated quarterly based on updated forecasts and ­assumes a value interval of +/- 5% where the value is adjusted when the return value increases/decreases by at least 5% from the initial valuation which was carried out with a value date of 31 December 2020.

The valuation is based on assumptions about future developments based on the facts and the surrounding global situation that prevails today; it is not to be seen as a forecast. This means that it is not established values that are promised as an outcome, but they can change based on events that affect the activities.
