The CEO has the word

The third quarter is always a busy period for us at Boho Group, and this year it has certainly proved to be our most important quarter. During the summer months, we saw a large influx of guests, and our ability to manage these volumes has been crucial to achieving our ambitious sales targets. I am proud to see that our organisation has held its own at all levels and coped with the pressures of a fully booked Boho Club. Thanks to our focus on efficiency, we have managed to improve our EBITDA by a full 31% compared to last year, and we are now seeing a rolling EBITDA margin of 20%, up from 14% last quarter.

We have also seen great success with the launch of Bohi's bar and the opening of the Ashiana Wellness Centre. The reception has been very positive, showing that these new investments, which had a negative impact on cash flow in the quarter, will strengthen our sales going forward and further improve the customer experience. These investments are examples of how we continuously work to create a complete experience for our guests and strengthen the Boho Club brand.

The plots at our luxury hotel Boho Club in Marbella have great potential for greatly increased building rights. We have worked intensively and in close collaboration with the municipality of Marbella and the Junta de Andalucía to plan our plots in detail in order to enable the construction of approximately 28,400 m² of hotel space. During the third quarter, the process has taken major steps forward. In a technically complex process, administrative deadlines and urban objectives have been met.

This expansion is an important part of our long-term value growth, where we estimate that the value of the new building rights corresponds to approximately SEK 15 per ordinary share when detailed planning is obtained. There will also be additional value through, among other things, the design and development of the project. We hope to be able to return with more updates in the near future.

As we enter the off-season, we continue with the same commitment and passion to develop Boho Group. The focus will be on preparing for next year's summer season by expanding our restaurant offering and strengthening our position locally as well as exploring opportunities in other markets. Marbella is a strong and attractive destination, and Boho Club is ready to grow further and consolidate its place as a world-class destination.

Yours sincerely

Andreas Bonnier
CEO Quartiers Properties
