“Back to Basics” continues We are adapting our organisation on the basis of the divestments made during the year. Our objective is to reduce our administration costs by 15 per cent, which corresponds to nearly SEK 100 M. In the meantime, we are simplifying our regions, moving from four to two: Region Svea and Region Göta. This will result in less bureau- cracy – and thus greater efficiency. Net leasing SEK 105 M Net leasing was SEK −5 M during the quarter, and SEK 105 M for the period. The period included both major new leases and major termi- nations – for example, we signed a new lease with Ericsson in Hagastaden for SEK 140 M, while AFRY terminated its lease in Solna for SEK −95 M. Excluding the new lease to Ericsson in the Infinity project property in Hagastaden, net leasing was negative by approx- imately SEK 35 M. The rental market has thus not yet turned around – at least not for Castellum. Occupancy rate 87.3 per cent The occupancy rate fell by 0.2 percentage points during the quarter, and has declined by 1.9 percentage points since the start of the year. The primary cause is the negative net leasing during earlier periods. Rental income in the like-for-like portfolio −1.7 per cent The falling occupancy rate has led to declines in both rental income (1.7 per cent) and net operating income (3.6 per cent) in the like-for- like portfolio. Only when we reverse the downward trend in occu- pancy rates will we be able to see higher rental income and higher net operating income in the like-for-like portfolio. Growth in rental income is the key factor in achieving our target of 10 per cent return on equity. That is why I put a heavy emphasis on leasing, leasing and leasing. Income from property management per share increased by 5 percent Despite the decline in income from property management com- pared with previous year, income from property management per share increased from SEK 7.06 to 7.39 per share. This corresponds to an increase of 5 percent, attributable to share buy-backs. Change in values on properties SEK −700 M Our asset portfolio has lost almost SEK 700 M in value during the year, driven primarily by changed expectations regarding future cash flows and then chiefly assumptions about vacancies, which are taking longer to fill than previously assumed. The yield require- ment was largely unchanged during the year. Buy-back for SEK 7.6 Bn or 62 million shares During the period we repurchased 62 million shares, which corre- sponds to a buy-back of SEK 7.6 Bn. Last week, an extraordinary shareholders’ meeting gave its approval for additional buy-backs. On 1 October, Castellum handed over the property portfolio that were divested to Wihlborgs at an agreed property value of SEK 13.3 Bn. Of the amount, we intend to use approximately SEK 8 Bn for share buy-backs and approximately SEK 5 Bn for debt repayment. We are retaining the properties that we believe we can manage well, and divesting the properties that we believe others could manage better than we can. To date in 2026, we have sold properties for SEK 25 Bn at prices slightly above their carrying amounts. We will lease premises, maintain control over our costs and gen- erate a return for our shareholders. Our objective is a return on equity of at least 10 per cent over a business cycle.

Performance analysis Income Income totalled SEK 6,987 M (7,196). The change of SEK –209 M is attributable to income in the like-for-like portfolio decreased by SEK –110 M, corresponding to –1.7 per cent, which is attributable primarily to increased vacancies of SEK –147 M. Furthermore, the divestment of United Spaces lowered income by SEK –115 M and income from development properties has attributed with SEK 33 M. Income from transactions attributed with SEK 16 M and includes non-recurring income of SEK 84 M pertaining to derecognition of a capitalised annuity in a property sale. Development of income SEK M 2026 Jan–Sep 2025 Jan–Sep Change, % Like-for-like portfolio 6,411 6,521 −1.7 Development properties 133 100 Transactions 456 440 Coworking — 183 Group elimination — −48 Currency adjustment¹ −13 — Total income 6,987 7,196 −2.9 1. The current year, restated with the exchange rate of the comparison period. Costs Property costs amounted to SEK 2,158 M (2,129). Costs in the like- for-like portfolio increased SEK 53 M, corresponding to 2.7 per cent excluding currency effects. The cost increase in the like-for-like portfolio is attributable primarily to higher costs of SEK 20 M for snow removal, SEK 26 M for heating, SEK 24 M for maintenance and SEK 12 M for property insurance. However, these cost increases are offset to some extent by lower costs from rent losses, which decreased by SEK 42 M. Furthermore, a shift of costs between property administration and central administration costs had a negative impact of SEK 49 M on property costs. This shift is the result of the new division of responsibilities between central functions and the regional property management organisations that was established in late 2025. The new cost allocation has applied as of 2026, and comparative figures have not been restated. Lease and property administration amounted to SEK 398 M (562). This decrease of SEK 164 M is related in part to reduced costs of SEK 159 M relating to the divestment of United Spaces and by streamlining at the head office and a general review of costs. The decrease is offset by increased cost attributable to the aforemen- tioned cost shift. Central administration costs amounted to SEK 86 M (176), a decrease of SEK 90 M, with SEK 41 M being attributable to a general review of costs and the remainder attributable to the aforemen- tioned cost shift.

United Spaces was divested in 2025, which resulted in the elimination of the Coworking segment. The difference between net operating income of SEK 4,829 M (4,908) and income before tax of SEK 2,633 M (1,357) comprises central administrative costs of SEK –86 M (–176), earnings of SEK –568 M (568) from associated companies and joint ventures, net financial items of SEK –1,686 M (–1,610) and SEK 144 M (–2,333) in changes in values on properties, financial holdings, goodwill and derivatives.

Income from associated companies and joint ventures Income from associated companies and joint ventures consists of Castellum’s share of Entra ASA’s and Halvorsäng Fastighets AB’s earnings. Castellum’s share of the associated companies’ and joint ventures’ income from property management is included in the line item “of which income from property management” . As of the balance sheet date, an impairment was made owing to lower net reinstatement value in Entra. The exchange-rate impact on the Entra holding is recognised in OCI. For further information on Entra and Halvorsäng, refer to page 9. SEK M 2026 Jan–Sep 2025 Jan–Sep Income from property management 369 352 Change in values on properties −787 91 Tax 49 −92 Other −31 −48 Castellum’s share of earnings from associated companies and joint ventures −400 303 Impairment/reversal of impairment −168 265 Total impact on net income for the period −568 568 Translation difference 1,399 −264 Currency hedging −513 207 Total impact on comprehensive income for the period 318 511 Net financial items Net financial items totalled SEK −1,686 M (−1,610). During the third quarter, interest costs were impacted by SEK 21 M in non- recurring costs pertaining to the redemption of loans linked to sales of prop- erties. SEK M 2026 Jan–Sep 2025 Jan–Sep Financial income 15 26 Interest costs, loans −1,644 −1,585 Interest income and expenses, interest rate derivatives 57 157 Interest income and expenses, currency derivatives −104 −177 Less: Capitalised interest 36 37 Other financial costs −6 −13 Exchange rate differences 2 −1 Total net interest costs −1,644 −1,556 Leasing cost/site leasehold fees −42 −54 Total net financial items −1,686 −1,610 The average closing interest rate for the loan portfolio, including interest-rate and currency hedging with long maturities, was 3.5 per cent (3.1) on the balance sheet date. The average interest rate provides a snapshot of the latest fixed-interest period for the derivative and loan portfolios on the balance sheet date and excludes certain items in net financial items such as the accrual of borrowing costs, other financial costs, currency hedging with short maturities and, in some cases, currency effects. Income from property management Income from property management totalled SEK 3,427 M (3,474), corresponding to SEK 7.39 per share (7.06). The decrease in income from property management is attributable to increased vacancies and higher net interests costs. Castellum’s participations in associated companies and joint ventures added SEK 369 M (352) to income from property management, of which SEK 359 M (350) pertained to Entra and SEK 10 M (2) pertained to Halvorsäng. Changes in value Properties Castellum reports changes in value of SEK –684 M (–1,400). Un- realised changes in value of SEK amounted to –446 M (–1,412) during the period, with changes in cash flow having a negative impact and project gains having a positive one. The average exit yield for Castellum’s portfolio totalled 5.73 per cent at the end of the period – 9 basis points higher than in the preceding quarter. The increase is partly driven by the sale of two large properties in central Stockholm, with the divested properties having had low yield requirements relative to the Group average. During the period, 16 per cent of the property value was externally valued. The external valuations are on par with the internal valuations, confirming Castellum’s assessed market value. Castellum’s property divestments completed during the period resulted in a realised change in value of SEK –238 M. Net sale price amounted to SEK 10,404 M after deduction for deferred tax, other deductions and transaction costs of SEK –413 M. The total underly- ing property value in the divestments was thus SEK 10,817 M, a difference of SEK 175 M compared with the latest assessment of SEK 10,642 M. SEK M 2026 Jan–Sep 2025 Jan–Sep Cash flow −1,319 −1,716 Project gains/building rights 863 290 Yield requirement 10 −173 Acquisitions — 187 Unrealised changes in value −446 −1,412 % of property value at start of year −0.3 −1.0 Divestments −238 12 Total change in value −684 −1,400 % of property value at start of year −0.5 −1.0 Goodwill Changes in goodwill totalled SEK −242 M (−60), of which SEK −184 M (−20) is attributable to divestments and SEK −58 M (−40) is attribut- able to negative developments in value of properties. Derivatives Castellum holds both interest rate and currency derivatives. In profit for the period, the derivatives generated a change in value of SEK 1,070 M (−869), which includes realised changes in value of SEK 17 M (60) and unrealised changes in value of SEK 1,053 M (−929). Changes in value resulting from hedging relationships totalled SEK –391 M (130) and are reported in OCI. 6 CASTELLUM INTERIM REPORT JANUARY–SEPTEMBER 2026

Tax Total tax for the period was SEK 240 M (–307), of which SEK –161 M (–262) pertained to current tax. Applying the nominal tax rate to income before tax, the total theoretical tax is SEK –542 M. The difference of SEK 782 M is due primarily to deferred tax on divested properties and non-deductible interest. The remaining tax loss carry forwards, estimated at SEK 54 M (351), are restricted for use in parts of the Group.

Asset portfolio Castellum is one of the Nordic region’s leading commercial prop- erty companies. The portfolio is concentrated in attractive growth cities in Sweden as well as Copenhagen and Helsinki. Through the associated company Entra, Castellum is also exposed to attractive areas in Norway. Common for Castellum’s properties is that they are located in or near city centre locations, have good means of communication and supplementary services. Castellum’s geographical focus combined with stable tenants, for example state and municipal operations, provides good condi- tions for stability and long-term growth. Our commercial portfolio consists largely of offices (63 per cent), followed by warehouse/light industry (16 per cent), public sector properties (12 per cent), and retail (5 per cent). The remaining 4 percent consists of developments and undeveloped land. Castellum’s property portfolio at 30 September 2026 comprised 644 properties (673) with a total contract value of SEK 8,463 M (9,299) and a total leasable area of 5,124,000 square metres (5,291,000). Economic occupancy rate The economic occupancy rate was 87.3 per cent, compared to 89.2 per cent at the end of 2025. Of this 1.9 percentage-point decrease, 0.2 percentage points pertains to properties sold with a high eco- nomic occupancy rate. The remainder of the decline is due to rising vacancy rates. As of 2026, a new definition of economic occupancy rate has been applied, refer to page 29. The comparative figures have been adjusted. Investments During the period, Castellum invested SEK 2,953 M (2,085) in exist- ing properties, of which SEK 1,527 M (805) pertains to new con- struction, extensions and reconstructions; SEK 843 M (764) to tenant adaptations; SEK 75 M (105) to energy investments, SEK 450 M (401) to maintenance investments and SEK 58 M (10) to other investments. -5 000 -4 500 -4 000 -3 500 -3 000 -2 500 -2 000 -1 500 -1 000 -500 0 500 1 000 Stockholm West Central Mälardalen Öresund Finland Acquisitions Property sales Investments in existing properties Property value by region Property value by category Net investment Net investment, SEK M 2026 Jul–Sep 2025 Jul–Sep 2026 Jan–Sep 2025 Jan–Sep LTM, Oct 2025 –Sep 2026 2025 Jan–Dec Acquisitions — 331 — 2,031 54 2,085 Investments in existing properties 985 797 2,953 2,085 4,083 3,215 Total investments 985 1,128 2,953 4,116 4,137 5,300 Divestments −4,839 −453 −10,405 −618 −10,698 −911 Net investments −3,854 675 −7,452 3,498 −6,561 4,389 Proportion of the property value, % −2.9 0.5 −5.4 2.6 −4.8 3.2 Stockholm, 30% West, 20% Central, 18% Mälardalen, 13% Öresund, 10% Finland, 5% Denmark, 4% Office, 63% Warehouse/Light Industry, 16% Public Sector Properties, 12% Retail, 5% Projects and Land, 4% Divestments Region Disposal date Area, thousand sq. m.

Tenants Castellum’s exposure to individual tenants is very low, with a lease portfolio that has a large spread across many different tenants, cus- tomer sizes and industries. This spreads the risk for rent losses and vacancies. The Group has approximately 7,000 commercial leases and 400 residential leases, and their distribution in terms of size is presented in the table below. The single largest lease accounts for 1.3 per cent of the Group’s total rental income, while the corresponding figure for the single largest tenant is 2.3 per cent. As at 30 September 2026, the remaining average length of contract was 3.3 years (3.6).

Notices of termination amounted to SEK –554 M (–698), of which SEK –15 M (–111) were bankruptcies and SEK –122 M (–42) were notices of termination with more than 18 months left of contract. Net leasing for the period thus totalled SEK 105 M (–166). The time difference between reported net leasing and the income effect thereof is estimated to be between 6–15 months in investment properties and 12–24 months for devel- opment properties. Normally, the impact of reported bankruptcies on earnings is immediate. Annual rent corresponding to SEK 181 M (197) was renegotiated during the period, with an average change in rent of –2.5 per cent (1.6). Leases valued at SEK 898 M (1,345) were extended with no changes to terms. 14 CASTELLUM INTERIM REPORT JANUARY–SEPTEMBER 2026

Sustainability Sustainability results Over the latest twelve-month period, the normalised energy consump- tion in the like-for-like portfolio decreased by 1.0 per cent. In Q3 2026, the climate impact from investment properties amounted to 3.79 kg CO₂e/sq m, compared with the 2026 interim target of 3.66 kg CO₂e/sq m. The increase is due primarily to higher emissions factors among district heating providers. This interim target is part of Castellum’s long-term goal of achieving net-zero emissions by 2040. The proportion of sustainability-certified properties continued to increase. At the end of the third quarter of 2026, 310 properties – corre- sponding to 61 per cent of the property area – had been certified. Over the latest twelve-month period, energy optimisation projects totalling just over SEK 120 M had either been concluded or started. The average yearly investment over the last five years amounted to approximately SEK 200 M. Castellum’s venture in fossil-free energy is continuing through the extended “100 on Solar” solar PV programme. The target is to have 200 solar PV systems in operation by 2030. At the end of Q3 2026, Castellum has constructed 135 solar PV systems, whose output corresponds to approximately 26 per cent of Castellum’s annual electricity needs. Castellum has been approved for the Green Equity Designation on Nasdaq Stockholm and thereby retains its green equity designation. This year’s external audit by S&P Global Shades of Green notes that 81 per cent of Castellum’s turnover comes from energy-efficient build- ings, which exceeds Nasdaq’s 50 per cent threshold. S&P also esti- mates that 78 per cent of Castellum’s investments in 2025 were green. Sustainability goals and strategy Castellum’s sustainability strategy, The Sustainable City, encompasses measurable targets in three areas of focus: Future-proofed assets, Sustainable workplaces and Sound business. This strategy has been integrated into the business model and encompasses investments in attractive, inclusive workplaces as well as responsible business with clear procedures for ethics, regulatory compliance and the supply chain. By combining environmental, social and governance-related aspects, Castellum is strengthening its competitiveness and long-term profitability while the company promotes a more sustainable society. Examples from our operations In Q3 2026, Castellum purchased EvoBuild concrete – a carbon capture and storage (CCS) product – from Heidelberg Materials for its warehouse and logistics project. This concrete reduces its carbon foot- print by capturing and permanently storing carbon during production at Brevik in Norway. Re-use is a priority area. In Region West, materials in 126 projects were either dropped off or picked up through the REbygg re-use hub in Gothenburg up through the third quarter. This has helped prevent just over 200 metric tons of CO₂e in emissions and reduced costs by SEK 1.1 M compared with the purchase of new materials. In the Rotterdam 1 project, extensive re-use efforts – including re-use of lighting fixtures, glass partitions, wall materials, doors, kitchens, pipes, and ventilation ducts – have helped prevent 111 metric tons of CO₂e in emissions. At the same time, costs decreased by SEK 2 M com- pared with the purchase of new materials.

The purpose of the buy-backs is to adjust the company’s capital structure and thereby efficiently promote an increase in shareholder value. During the quarter, 22,596,587 treasury shares were repur- chased. In total 61,616,281 treasury shares were repurchased during the period at an average price of SEK 122.74 per share including transaction costs, corresponding to an overall value of SEK 7,563 M. 15,075,097 treasury shares were also retired during the period. In order to restore share capital after the cancellation, a stock dividend issue in an amount of SEK 7.5 M – corresponding to the amount by which the share capital had been reduced through cancellation of own shares – was carried out. The company’s holding of treasury shares at the end of the period thus amounted to 47,040,587 shares, corresponding to 9.9 per cent of the number of shares registered at the end of the period. Dividend The 2026 Annual General Meeting resolved that no dividend would be paid for financial year 2025.

Other information Risks and uncertainties Castellum’s operations, earnings and financial position are impacted by a number of risk factors. These are related primarily to properties, tax and financing. The company works actively to identify and manage the risks and opportunities that are of material significance to its opera- tions. Castellum manages these risks brought about by a changing market by having a strong balance sheet and maintaining a low loan-to- value ratio. Combined with active asset management, the company reduces the risk for increased cost of capital. On the operational side, Castellum is working with a carefully composed tenant portfolio with a spread across notice periods, industries, tenant size and geographic location concentrated in growth cities. To facilitate risk management, Castellum has chosen to classify risks into the categories of business environment risks, operational risks, financial risks, and sustainability risks. More information on Castellum’s risks and their management can be found in the Annual Report for 2025. Forward-looking information A number of items recognised in this report are forward-looking, and the actual outcome may differ substantially. Apart from the factors that have expressly been commented on, other factors such as economic growth, interest-rate levels, financing terms, yield requirements on property assets and political decisions may also have a material impact on the actual outcome. Accounting policies Castellum’s consolidated financial statements are prepared in accor- dance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). The interim report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting, and for the Parent Company in accordance with Chapter 9 of the Annual Accounts Act. Moreover, the relevant provi- sions in the Annual Accounts Act and the Securities Markets Act have been applied. For the Group and the Parent Company, the same accounting policies and bases for calculation as in the latest annual report have been applied. In addition to the financial statements, disclosures in accordance with IAS 34.16A appear in the remainder of this interim report. Preparation of the interim report requires company management to make assessments and estimates, and to make assumptions that have impacted the application of the accounting policies and the recognised amounts of assets, liabilities, income and costs. The actual outcome may deviate from these estimates and assessments. The critical assessments made and the sources of uncertainty in existing estimates are the same as those in the latest published annual report. Earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income for the year attributable to Parent Company shareholders, less interest to hybrid bond holders, by the weighted average number of common shares out- standing during the year. The company has no outstanding instruments that would entail a dilution of earnings per share. The Swedish properties in the Öresund region have been classified as a divestment group held for sale in accordance with IFRS 5. The assets and liabilities concerned are reported separately in the state- ment of financial position. The reclassification has impacted the presentation of the balance sheet but has not impacted the Group’s earnings or the calculation of key metrics. The introduction of IFRS 18, which will replace IAS 1 on 1 January 2027, will result in changes to the presentation and disclosures in the financial statements. Castellum is currently in a preparatory imple- mentation phase. Drafts for future reporting structures have been developed and relevant policy choices in accordance with the new standard have been evaluated. Necessary system adjustments have also been identified and prepared. Valuation of the asset portfolio Castellum internally assesses its entire property holdings on a quar- terly basis, corresponding to level 3 in IFRS 13. According to accepted theory, the value of an asset is the net present value of the future cash flows that the asset is expected to generate. This section aims to describe and illustrate Castellum’s cash flow-based model for calcula- tion of the value of the property portfolio. The value of the property portfolio is calculated in a 10 to 20-year cash flow model as the total present value of net operating income minus remaining investments on ongoing projects, during the calculation period of 10 to 20 years, and the present value of the estimated residual value after the cash-flow period. The residual value comprises the present value of all future net operating income after the cash-flow period. The estimated market value of undeveloped land and building rights are added to this. Accordingly, valuation is conducted pursuant to IFRS 13, level 3. The assessment pertaining to the future earnings and the yield require- ment, which are the weightiest value-driving factors in the valuation model, are crucial for the calculated value of the property portfolio. The yield requirement is derived from market transactions on objects of equal value, known as the local price method. The earnings are based on existing contracts and the most likely lease scenarios in the respec- tive properties. For further information on Castellum’s valuation of its property portfolio, refer to Note 10 in the Annual Report for financial year 2025. Valuation of financial assets and liabilities To calculate the fair value of our interest-rate and currency derivatives, market rates for each term and exchange rates as quoted in the market for the closing date are used. Interest rate swaps are valued by dis- counting future cash flows to present value. When calculating the fair value of derivatives, adjustments are made for counterparty risk in the form of Credit Value Adjustments (CVA) and Debit Value Adjustments (DVA). CVA shows Castellum’s risk of experiencing credit loss in the event of counterparty default, whereas DVA shows the opposite. The adjustment is calculated at the counterparty level based on expected future credit exposure, risk of default and the recovery rate of exposed credits. Related-party transactions Remuneration has been paid to Board members and senior executives pertaining to work performed. Related-party transactions also encompass Castellum invoicing SEK 0.8 M for services performed pertaining to project management and administration to Halvorsäng, which is a joint venture together with Göteborgs Hamn AB. During the period, Castellum received a divi- dend of NOK 74 M from Entra. All related-party transactions took place at arm’s length. 23 CASTELLUM INTERIM REPORT JANUARY–SEPTEMBER 2026

Signing of the Report Gothenburg, 22 October 2026 The CEO hereby gives their assurance that the interim report provides a true and fair view of the Parent Company’s and Group’s operations, financial position and results and as well as the significant risks and uncertainties facing the company and companies within the Group. This information is information that Castellum Aktiebolag is obligated to make public pursuant to the EU Market Abuse Regulation. The information was sub- mitted for publication through the agency of the contact person set out above at 8:00 a.m. CEST on 22 October 2026. Pål Ahlsén Chief Executive Officer Independent Auditor’s Report on the review of interim financial information To the Board of Directors and the Chief Executive Officer of Castellum Aktiebolag (publ), Corporate ID No. 556475–5550 Introduction We have reviewed the interim report for Castellum Aktiebolag (publ) for the period January 1 - September 30, 2026. The board of directors and the President are responsible for the preparation and presentation of this interim report in accordance with IAS 34 and the Annual Accounts Act. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim report is based on our review. Scope of Review We conducted our review in accordance with the International Standard on Review Engagements ISRE 2410, Review of Interim Financial Information prepared by the Independent Auditor of the Entity. A review consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review has a different focus and is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with ISA and generally accepted auditing standards. The procedures performed in a review do not enable us to obtain a level of assurance that would make us aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Therefore, the conclusion expressed based on a review does not give the same level of assurance as a conclusion expressed based on an audit. Conclusion Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim report is not, in all material respects, pre- pared for the Group in accordance with IAS 34 and the Annual Accounts Act, and for the Parent Company in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act.

Alternative performance measures A number of the financial alternative performance measures pre- sented by Castellum are not defined in accordance with the IFRS accounting standards. However, the company believes that these metrics provide useful supplementary information both to investors and to Castellum management, as they facilitate evaluation of company performance. It is to be noted that, since not all compa- nies calculate financial key metrics in the same manner, these are not always comparable to metrics used by other companies. These financial metrics should therefore not be seen as a substitute for metrics defined according to IFRS. Unless otherwise stated, the table below presents metrics, along with their reconciliation, which are not defined according to IFRS. Furthermore, definitions for these metrics also appear on page 29. The calculation of key metrics includes balance sheet items reported as Assets held for sale and Liabilities attributable to assets held for sale in accordance with IFRS 5 (refer to page 10) to ensure comparability and a fair view of the underlying operations. 2026 Jul–Sep 2025 Jul–Sep 2026 Jan–Sep 2025 Jan–Sep LTM, Oct 2025– Sep 2026 2025 Jan–Dec Average number of shares, thousands 440,952 492,102 463,868 492,272 470,985 492,229 Income from property management SEK M SEK/ share SEK M SEK/ share SEK M SEK/ share SEK M SEK/ share SEK M SEK/ share SEK M SEK/ share Income before tax 626 1.42 1,082 2.20 2,633 5.68 1,357 2.76 2,608 5.54 1,334 2.71 Reversed: Income from associated companies exclud- ing income from property management 381 0.86 58 0.12 938 2.02 −216 −0.44 886 1.88 −268 −0.54 Change in values on properties 953 2.16 232 0.47 684 1.47 1,400 2.84 1,735 3.68 2,450 4.98 Change in values on financial holdings — 0.00 — — — 0.00 4 0.01 — 0.00 4 0.01 Change in value on goodwill 124 0.28 21 0.04 242 0.52 60 0.12 323 0.69 141 0.29 Change in values on derivatives −958 −2.17 −140 −0.28 −1,070 −2.31 869 1.77 −994 −2.11 945 1.92 Income from property management 1,126 2.55 1,253 2.55 3,427 7.39 3,474 7.06 4,558 9.68 4,606 9.36 Current tax on income from property management −24 −0.05 −132 −0.27 −308 −0.66 −210 −0.43 −296 −0.63 −198 −0.40 EPRA Earnings/EPRA EPS 1,102 2.50 1,121 2.28 3,119 6.72 3,264 6.63 4,262 9.05 4,408 8.95 Return on equity LTM, Oct 2025– Sep 2026 LTM, Oct 2024 – Sep 2025 2025 Jan–Dec Earnings after tax 2,759 3,039 938 Average equity 77,050 78,333 78,574 Return on equity, % 3.6 3.9 1.2 Return on equity when classifying hybrid as debt instrument LTM, Oct 2025– Sep 2026 LTM, Oct 2024 – Sep 2025 2025 Jan–Dec Earnings after tax 2,759 3,039 938 Added: Coupon as interest −335 −348 −348 Earnings after tax including coupon as interest 2,424 2,691 590 Average equity 77,050 78,333 78,574 Less: average hybrid −10,161 −10,163 −10,161 Less: tax effect impacting equity −186 −101 −130 Average equity excluding hybrid bond 66,703 68,069 68,283 Return on equity when classifying hybrid as debt instrument, % 3.6 4.0 0.9 26 CASTELLUM INTERIM REPORT JANUARY–SEPTEMBER 2026

Definitions Dividend yield Declared dividend as a percentage of the share price at the end of the period. The key metrics illustrate how much of their investment the shareholders receive back in dividends. Unencumbered assets ratio Total carrying amount of assets that are not pledged as collateral, as a percentage of total assets. This key metric illustrates financial risk. Return on equity Income after tax as a percentage of average equity. This key metric illustrates the capacity for generating earnings on the Group’s equity. Return on equity (excluding hybrid) Income after tax less coupon as interest, as a percent- age of average equity excluding average hybrid capital and tax effect that impacted equity. This key metric illustrates the capacity for generating earnings on the Group’s equity. Loan-to-value ratio Interest-bearing liabilities after deduction for cash and cash equivalents as a percentage of total assets. This key metric illustrates financial risk. Loan-to-value ratio, Property Interest-bearing liabilities after deduction for cash and cash equivalents as a percentage of the properties’ fair value. This key metric illustrates financial risk. EPRA EPS – Earnings Per Share Income from property management adjusted for current tax on income from property management, divided by the average number of shares. The estimate of current tax takes into account factors such as depreciation and reconstruction that are deductible for tax purposes. This key metric is a measurement of earnings generation in the operation, less current tax on income from property management. EPRA NRV – Net Reinstatement Value Equity as recognised adjusted for hybrid bonds, declared and undistributed dividends, carrying amounts of derivatives, goodwill and nominal deferred tax. This key metric describes the total equity that Castellum manages on behalf of its owners. EPRA NTA – Net Tangible Assets Equity as recognised adjusted for hybrid bonds, declared and undistributed dividends, carrying amounts of derivatives and goodwill adjusted for the estimated fair value of deferred tax instead of nominal deferred tax. This key metric corresponds to EPRA NRV , but with the difference that deferred tax is based on estimated fair value. EPRA NDV – Net Disposal Value Equity as recognised adjusted for hybrid bonds, declared and undistributed dividends and goodwill. This key metric illustrates the owners’ share of equity. EPRA LTV – Loan to Value Interest-bearing liabilities with additions for hybrid bonds, adjusted for the currency portion of the market value of hedging for loans in foreign currencies, and less cash and cash equivalents. Negative working capital increases interest-bearing liabilities, whereas positive working capital is added to the value of investment properties. Principal associated companies are included in proportion to the share owned. This key metric illustrates financial risk. Income from property management Income before tax adjusted for change in value of properties, derivatives, financial holdings and goodwill, as well as Castellum’s share of earnings from associ- ated companies and joint ventures excluding income from property management. Income from property management is a measurement of earnings generation in the operation, after financial costs but excluding changes in value. Rental and service income in the like-for-like portfolio Rental and service income from properties that formed part of the portfolio throughout the reporting period and the entire comparative period, adjusted for currency. Development properties, coworking and properties that were acquired or sold are not included. This key metric illustrates the performance of rental and service income excluding non-recurring effects – for example, early vacancies – unaffected by acquired and sold properties. Net investments Net of property acquisitions, investments in the existing property portfolio and property sales. This key metric illustrates the investment volume. Net debt/EBITDA Interest-bearing liabilities, less cash and cash equivalents, at the end of the period in relation to net operating income less central administrative costs over the last 12 months. This key metric illustrates financial risk. Interest coverage ratio Income from property management after reversal of net financial items, as a percentage of net interest items. This key metric illustrates financial risk. Secured debt to total assets ratio Secured debts as a percentage of total assets. This key metric illustrates financial risk. Surplus ratio Net operating income adjusted for coworking and other income, as a percentage of rental income and service income excluding coworking. This key metric clarifies the profitability of the properties. Alternative performance measures Castellum applies the European Securities and Market Authority (ESMA) guidelines on alternative performance measures. According to these guidelines, an alternative performance measure is a financial measurement of historical or future earnings trends, financial position, financial earnings or cash flows that are not identified or indicated in the applicable rules for financial reporting (IFRS® reporting standards and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act). Castellum is also a member of the European Public Real Estate Association (EPRA), which is why the financial key metrics EPRA EPS, EPRA NRV , EPRA NTA, EPRA NDV , EPRA LTV and EPRA vacancy rate are reported. The calculation of key metrics includes balance sheet items reported as Assets held for sale and Liabilities attributable to assets held for sale in accordance with IFRS 5 to ensure comparability and a fair view of the underlying operations. Other key metrics and definitions Number of shares Registered number of shares – the number of shares registered at a given point in time. Number of shares outstanding – the number of shares registered with a deduction for the company’s own repurchased shares at a given point in time. Average number of shares – the weighted average number of shares outstanding during a given period. Return on total capital Income before tax with reversed net interest and changes in values on derivatives over the last 12 months as a percentage of average total capital. Data per share Calculation of income and cash flow per share uses the average number of shares. Calculation of assets, equity and net asset value per share uses the number of shares outstanding. Economic occupancy rate Contractual annual rent excluding discounts on the balance sheet date, as a percentage of rental value excluding development properties on the balance sheet date. EPRA Vacancy rate The estimated market rent for vacant leases divided by the rental value on an annual basis for the entire asset portfolio excluding properties classified as development properties. Property type Castellum’s property types are: office, public sector properties (customers that are directly or indirectly tax funded), warehouse/light industry, retail and development projects and land. The property is categorised on the basis of its primary rental value, even though other categories may exist within the property. Property costs Property costs included costs for operation, maintenance, property tax, and lease and property administration. Rental value Rental and service income with the addition of estimated market rent for vacant spaces. Contract value Rental and service income on an annual basis for Castellum’s leases. SEK per square metre Property-related key metrics, expressed in terms of SEK per square metre, are based on properties owned at the end of the period. Properties acquired/completed during the year have been restated as if they had been owned or completed for the whole year, while properties disposed of have been completely excluded. Development projects and undeveloped land have been excluded. For interim financial statements, the key metrics are reported rolling twelve months. Net leasing Rental and service income for leases signed during the period for the entire property portfolio, less rental income for leases terminated during the period. 29 CASTELLUM INTERIM REPORT JANUARY–SEPTEMBER 2026
