COMMENTS FROM THE CEO
Nyfosa concludes a year of high activity in all parts of the business, contributing to positioning the company for future value creation. Profit from property management for 2025 were impacted by previously announced non-recurring costs of MSEK 45 and amounted to MSEK 1,427 after interest paid on hybrid bonds of MSEK 33. Profit from property management per share amounted to SEK 6.86, up 7% compared with the previous year. The Board proposes a dividend of SEK 3.00 per share, to be paid quarterly.

In 2026, Nyfosa will take the next step to strengthen profitability. We will improve operational efficiency, reduce complexity in the property portfolio and optimize capital allocation. We forecast MSEK 1,500 in profit from property management for the full-year 2026. To create a clear link to Nyfosa’s forecasted earnings, we are adjusting the company’s financial target of achieving average annual growth in profit from property management per share of 10% for 2026–2030. The company’s dividend policy is also revised to correlate with the updated financial target.

Continued pressure on occupancy rate, but increased leasing market activity
Nyfosa’s occupancy rate varied somewhat between quarters and amounted to 89.2% at the end of the year, down from 90.0% in the fourth quarter. The volume of announced lease terminations that have not yet become vacancies has decreased significantly, but in the short term continues to delay a turnaround in the company’s occupancy rate. At the same time, we have seen a gradual recovery in the Swedish leasing market during 2025, resulting in higher volumes of new leases compared with last year. Nyfosa reports marginally positive net leasing in the Swedish market for the full-year 2025, despite protracted contract processes that have partly restrained results. However, continued weak performance in Finland results in negative net leasing for the Group as a whole. Several advanced leasing negotiations across all of our three markets remain ongoing at the start of 2026, supporting expectations that the company’s occupancy rate will stabilize during the year.

Transactions increase density in the portfolio and stronger profitability
During the year, we continued to develop and streamline Nyfosa’s property portfolio through property transactions in all three of the company’s Nordic markets. In a total of 20 separate transactions, Nyfosa has agreed on transactions for a total value of SEK 2.1 billion, with a resulting net investment of approximately MSEK 180. We divested resource- and capital-intensive properties with lower initial yields and replaced them with acquisitions that will increase the density of the portfolio and strengthen profitability. Based on this portfolio rotation, we not only increase the company’s current earnings but also lay the foundation for greater scalability and efficiency gains going forward.

Lower financing costs reduce financial risk and risk and increase scope for action
Through active management of the debt portfolio, we have strengthened Nyfosa’s financial position and significantly reduced our financing costs during the year. In a favorable financing market, several refinancings of bonds, hybrid bonds and bank loans have contributed to extending debt maturity, reducing financial risk, and at the same time improving available liquidity. In total, SEK 7.3 billion was refinanced in 2025, corresponding to 34% of the Group’s interest-bearing liabilities. As a result, our annual financial expenses according to our earnings capacity have declined 21%, corresponding to MSEK 254. The interest-coverage ratio rose during the year to a multiple of 2.3, while the average interest rate fell to 4.2%, compared with 5.0% at the beginning of the year.

Nyfosa 2026–2030

Updated strategy for profitability and sustainable growth
I am not satisfied with the earnings we are reporting for 2025, but I am confident that Nyfosa enters 2026 from a stronger position – financially, operationally and strategically. The measures initiated over the past year and now being intensified involve adapting our work methods and priorities to changing market conditions and the company’s strengths, with the aim of better capitalizing on value-creating opportunities in our assets and in the market.

Nyfosa has a diverse property portfolio in three Nordic markets with stable cash flows, a regionally anchored property management organization and strong transaction capability. This constitutes a platform that we intend to further develop in order to maximize value creation for our shareholders and tenants.

The updated strategic formulating entails a honed focus on a structured and targeted approach that combines long-term commitment and flexibility. To achieve our financial target, efforts in the coming years will focus on three priority areas: enhanced operational efficiency, reduced complexity of the property portfolio and property management, and optimized capital allocation. These priorities will guide all our business decisions and serve as the basis for our endeavors toward continuous improvement.

Improve operational efficiency
Nyfosa’s regionally anchored property management organization will enable efficient and flexible processes in negotiations and decision-making. Close proximity to tenants creates the conditions for building long-term relationships and the ability to respond quickly to changing needs.
By leveraging the company’s economies of scale when developing internal work methods and processes, operational execution is strengthened in order to achieve more proactive, structured and business-driven property management. Altogether, this will lead to enhanced efficiency and more business opportunities.

Reduce complexity of the property portfolio
As part of our strategic focus, we will continue to reshape our property portfolio through portfolio rotation, with a clear selection process based on operational, execution and geographical complexity. Our aim is to maintain an average annual portfolio rotation of SEK 1 billion over the coming five-year period.

Highest priority is given to properties that require significant operational and financial resources where we believe alternative allocation of time and capital would create higher value. In addition, Nyfosa currently owns properties in 113 Swedish and Finnish municipalities. By 2030, we intend to exit approximately 40 of these in order to reduce complexity in property management and enhance operational efficiency.

When making new acquisitions, we will utilize a broad investment mandate to identify profitable transactions regardless of the property segment. However, geographically we will prioritize regions where the company is already established in order to increase the density of the portfolio and strengthen our local market position.

Optimize capital allocation
Nyfosa’s capital allocation and capital structure are continuously evaluated to ensure strong profitability for shareholders. Cash flow is a key indicator of long-term profitability. The transactions carried out in 2025 illustrate the strategy of rotating parts of the portfolio to increase yield while freeing up capital for new investments.

A disciplined investment process, whereby alternative investment opportunities are continuously assessed against each other, is essential for effective capital allocation. With strong liquidity, a broad investment mandate and increased activity in the transaction market, Nyfosa is well positioned to execute value-creating transactions in 2026.
