Overview of Performance

In the first quarter of 2025, Diös Fastigheter AB celebrated a remarkable performance amidst a complex external environment, as highlighted in their recent interim report released on April 29, 2025. This quarter's report reveals a consistent growth trajectory, showcasing the company’s resilience and strategic maneuvers in the Swedish property market. Key highlights from the report indicate a solid financial standing despite challenging market conditions, validating the efforts of the team's dedicated approach.

Key Financial Highlights

• - Income Growth: Diös Fastigheter recorded an impressive income surge of 3%, climbing to SEK 661 million from SEK 639 million in the previous year.
• - Net Letting: The net letting remained steady at SEK 1 million, reflecting stability in leasing activities.
• - Operating Surplus: The company saw a 5% increase in operating surplus, which reached SEK 427 million, up from SEK 407 million.
• - Property Management Income: Property management income rose significantly by 10%, totaling SEK 221 million, compared to SEK 200 million in the same quarter of 2024.

This notable increase in income can be mainly attributed to enhanced revenue generation strategies and increased demand for modern premises in Diös’s operational cities. Furthermore, Diös reported unchanged unrealized changes in property values, maintaining a level of SEK 6 million for the quarter, while also navigating through the challenges presented by derivative values.

Strategic Growth and Market Positioning

David Carlsson, CEO of Diös Fastigheter, emphasized the company's strong position in the market during his first 100 days in office. He noted the effectiveness of local teams and the overall strategic direction of Diös which combines both local and centralized expertise to propel growth.

The acquisition of a SEK 1.6 billion property in Umeå showcases Diös’s commitment to expanding its portfolio and is seen as a significant step toward profitable growth, reinforcing their belief in the potential of northern Sweden. This strategic acquisition not only increases Diös's asset base but also aligns with the company’s vision of fostering urban development while capitalizing on the increasing economic activity linked to augmented defense spending in the region.

Future Outlook and Conclusion

The report underscores Diös Fastigheter’s potential for sustained growth. With the proactive shift in market dynamics and enhanced operational capabilities, the company is poised to leverage emerging opportunities effectively. Carlsson's outlook reflects a cautious optimism as the market begins to stabilize, and he anticipates further development in the overall business landscape, particularly concerning real estate demands in a post-pandemic environment.
