Consolidated unaudited interim report for the II quarter and first 6 months of 2025

Teade

A webinar on the presentation of the results (in Estonian only) will take place
on 31 July at 13:00 (EEST), more information
(https://view.news.eu.nasdaq.com/view?id=1380621&lang=en).

In  the first half of 2025, in both Q1  and Q2, the market continued to recover.
In  addition to  the contracts  under the  law of obligations (sales contracts),
there  was also strong interest in paid reservations in new projects. During Q2,
we  signed a total of 31 sales contracts (Q1 2025: 25; Q2 2024: 47) and in total
we  have signed 52 sales contracts in six months of 2025 (2024: 63). The largest
contribution  to new  contracts signed  during the  second quarter came from the
soon-to-be-in-construction  Luuslangi project,  and from  the Regati development
under construction. The biggest contribution to the sales revenue in the Q2 came
from  the  completed  and  delivered  Iseära  apartments.  Sales  of  previously
completed homes took place in the Luuslangi project.

The  weekly sales ratio, which reflects the  number of homes going out of supply
through either sales contracts or paid reservations reached its highest level in
recent  years  during  the  second  quarter,  exceeding  4% in  May. The average
performance  for the Q2 (2.6%) exceeded both  the Q1 2025 average (1.8%) and the
long-term average. The long-term average is considered to be 1.5-2.0%.

Sales  contracts signed during the period that  are not transferred under a real
right  contract  within  the  same  period  are  recognised  as presales. At the
beginning  of the quarter, the estimated value of previously recognised presales
was EUR 40.7 million (EUR 35.6 million at the beginning of 2025), all related to
projects  scheduled for  completion in  2025. During the  quarter, we signed new
contracts  totalling EUR 7.8 million in sales  revenue, of which EUR 5.9 million
were recognised as presales. This includes contracts for buildings scheduled for
completion  in 2026. Including  earlier presales,  we enter  the second  half of
2025 with  88 sales contracts in  projects completing in  2025, amounting to EUR
38.2 million in sales revenue.

In  Q2 of 2025, the  apartment buildings of  the II phase  of the Iseära project
were completed and 32 homes were delivered to customers. In addition, we sold 3
previously  completed homes  in the  Luuslangi development.  In total, we handed
over  35 apartments  during  the  period  (Q1  2025: 6; Q2  2024: 29). The sales
revenue  for  the  second  quarter  was  EUR 7 388 thousand (Q1 2025: EUR 1 931
thousand;  Q2 2024: EUR 8 546 thousand)  and the net  profit for the quarter was
EUR 974 thousand (Q1 2025: EUR -705 thousand; Q2 2024: EUR 443 thousand).

During  the first 6 months,  we delivered a  total of 41 new  homes (2024: 41),
generated  sales revenue of EUR 9 319 thousand (2024: EUR 12 045 thousand) and a
net profit of EUR 269 thousand (2024: EUR 293 thousand).

The  balance of cash  and cash equivalents  decreased by EUR 342 thousand during
the  quarter to EUR 9 574 thousand. Total assets increased by EUR 6 340 thousand
during the quarter to EUR 95 149 thousand at the end of the period. The increase
in assets was mainly due to the construction of the Regati project.

Total  borrowings increased  by EUR  1,856 thousand to  EUR 59,540 thousand. New
construction   loans  of  EUR  7,078 thousand  were  drawn  during  the  quarter
(including  EUR  5,390 thousand  for  the  Regati  project),  resulting in a net
increase  of EUR  3,693 thousand after  repayments. Other  loan commitments were
reduced  by EUR 1,800 thousand. While no significant changes in total borrowings
are  expected next quarter, the balance is set to decline notably by year-end as
construction completes and homes are delivered.

The  customer satisfaction score for the  last 12 months, collected at different
stages  of the  customer journey,  remained to  9.5 out of  10 at the end of the
quarter (Q1 2025: 9.5; Q2 2024: 8.0).

Key events in development projects
In  April, Liven  AS signed  a cooperation  agreement with  Oma Grupp OÜ for the
first  phase of the  Peakorter development at  Erika 6a and 6b in Põhja-Tallinn.
PIN  Arhitektid OÜ  designed two  six-storey residential  buildings and  a nine-
storey  building  combining  a  reconstructed  water  tower and a new extension,
forming a quarter with approx. 5,000 m² of saleable area and 68 homes. Pre-sales
began   during  the  quarter,  construction  is  planned  for  autumn  2025, and
completion  is scheduled for 2027. The project is  being developed by EK 6 OÜ, a
joint  venture between  Liven AS  and Oma  Grupp OÜ,  with Oma Ehitaja AS as the
general  contractor. Liven AS will acquire its  stake in the joint venture in Q3
2025.

In  April, we started pre-sales of homes in the Virmalise development project in
the  Uus  Maailm  neighborhood  in  central  Tallinn. The Virmalise project will
include  28 homes, with construction scheduled to  start in the third quarter of
2025 (building permit issued in July) and finish in 2026.

During  the quarter, Iseära second phase  apartment buildings were completed and
during May-June we handed over 89% of the completed homes to our customers.

In  June, we signed a contract under the  law of obligations for the transfer of
part  of the commercial  property at Kadaka  88. Due to the  transaction and the
reclassification  of the part  of the property  to be disposed  of as investment
property, the impact of the transaction is included in other operating income.

During  the summer, key  milestones were reached  in the Wohngarten project: the
first  obligation contracts  were signed  with future  homeowners, and a general
construction  contract was concluded.  After the reporting  date, a contract was
also signed with Mitt & Perlebach OÜ for the construction of Luuslangi phase II.
Building  will begin on 1 August 2025, with  completion of 39 new homes expected
in autumn 2026.

Annual General Meeting of Shareholders
The  annual general meeting of shareholders of  Liven AS was held on 14 May. The
meeting  was attended by 22 shareholders  representing 99.3% of the total votes.
The  shareholders approved the  annual report for  the year 2024, decided to pay
dividends  of EUR 180 thousand (25% of the profit before income tax for 2024) in
accordance with the dividend policy and appointed KPMG Baltics OÜ as auditor for
the years  2025-2026.

Significant developments in the economic environment in the period under review
The downward trend in the 6-month Euribor (Euribor) rate seen throughout the
previous year continued in the second quarter of 2025. By the end of the
quarter, the Euribor rate had fallen to 2.05% (31.03.2025:
2.34%; 31.12.2024: 2.57%).

As  inflation in the euro  area has fallen close  to the European Central Bank's
long-term  target (2%) and to  support economic growth in  the European Union by
reducing  the negative impact  of the US  tariffs, the Governing  Council of the
European  Central Bank  continued to  ease monetary  policy by  lowering its key
interest  rates four times  in the first  half of 2025 (by  a total of 100 basis
points).  According to economic analysts,  a few more rate  cuts could follow in
the  second half of  the year, but  with inflation remaining  close to target, a
stabilisation or moderate decline in interest rates is more likely.

In  Estonia, the annual consumer price growth  in the second quarter of 2025 was
faster  than  in  the  euro  area,  with  prices rising by 4.8% year-on-year (Q1
2025: 4.4%; Q2  2024: 2.5%). According to Eesti  Pank's latest forecast, average
inflation  in  2025 will  be  around  5.4%, reflecting  the impact of production
costs,  tax increases  and continued  wage growth.  The consumer price index has
risen by 2.9% over the past six months.

According  to the latest data from  Statistics Estonia, average gross wages rose
by  7.5% year-on-year  in  the  Q2  of 2025, outpacing consumer price inflation.
However,  consumer confidence remained very low and has been so for a long time.
From 2022 onwards, consumers are more likely to consider buying durable goods in
the  next 12 months as  a bargain than  they do now,  so the general  mood is to
continue  to be on hold and delay  purchasing decisions. According to the latest
data  from the Institute of Economic Research, the consumer confidence indicator
remains  very low in the second quarter. Average gross wages have risen by 7.3%
over  the past six months in two quarters. At the same time, consumer confidence
has remained stable at a very low level.

According  to  the  Land  and  Spatial  Development  Board's  purchase and sales
statistics,  the number  of transactions  of apartments  in Tallinn increased by
6.9% in  the second quarter  of 2025 compared to  the previous quarter (Q2 2025:
2 291; Q1 2025: 2 133 transactions). Compared to the same period of the previous
year, the increase was 15.6%, indicating an increase in home buyer activity. The
number  of transactions in the first half of 2025 reached 4 424, up 16.8% on the
same  period  of  the  previous  year (first half of 2024: 3 682 transactions).
Transaction activity has increased mainly in the secondary market, but there has
also  been a  pick-up in  the new  developments segment,  pointing to  a gradual
market recovery.

Compared  to the  first quarter  of 2025, the  supply prices of new developments
remained  at a similar level  in the second quarter  of 2025, increasing by only
0.65%. Based  on  data  collected  from  the  market, the number of transactions
completed  increased  by  29% compared  to  the  previous quarter (Q1 2025: 407
transactions;  Q4 2024: 559 transactions), remaining  at a similar  level to the
sales  results  of  Q2  2024 (513  transactions).  Compared to the first half of
2025, the  number  of  offers  has  increased  by 9.7% and the average price per
square  meter by 2.6%, indicating a moderate  increase in supply and prices. The
increase  in the VAT  rate from 1 July  2025 (from 22% to 24%) will increase the
price  burden  for  end-users,  with  a  negative  impact  on the market for new
developments in the upcoming quarters.

The  stock  of  unsold  ready-to-move-in  apartments  was  estimated  at  1 008
apartments at the end of Q2 (2025 Q1: 990; 2024 Q2: 904). The stock has remained
relatively stable over the last 10 months at around 1 000 apartments. This means
that homebuyers continue to have a wide range of options, and market competition
remains elevated.

Outlook for the future
Since the spring of this year, Liven has added a number of new projects to its
portfolio, which have seen active interest and a high number of paid
reservations by the clients. In the second half of the year, we therefore expect
the number sales contracts under the law of obligations to increase and
construction works on new projects to begin.

Similar to Q1 2025, we expect continued recovery in the economic environment and
demand  for new residential real estate  in the upcoming months. However, market
activity  and demand remain largely  dependent on external factors, particularly
interest  rates,  geopolitics,  the  tax  environment,  and consumer confidence.
Expectations  for interest rates  and real wages  suggest that improvements will
continue  in  the  second  half  of  2025, supporting  increased affordability -
although  at a slower  pace. Additionally, the  income tax rate  increase at the
beginning  of 2025, new taxes, the VAT rate increase from July, and persistently
high   inflation  are  expected  to  further  slow  the  pace  of  affordability
improvement.

We  are still waiting for  the drawn-out processes for  adoption of the detailed
spatial  plans for  Kadaka tee  88, Juhkentali 48 and  Erika 12 to  finalised in
2025.

The financial results for Q2 and for the first half of 2025 were largely in line
with expectations, taking into account the timing of construction completions in
development  projects and the volume of sales.  In 2025, we can still deliver up
to  194 residential and  commercial units  in total  (of which  41, or 21%, were
handed  over in the first  6 months), with a maximum  potential revenue of up to
75 million  euros (of  which 9.3 million  euros, or  12%, was recognised  in the
first 6 months).

If  the pace of  sales seen over  the past six  months continues, we continue to
expect  revenue to  reach around  55 million euros  in 2025 and assume that this
will be sufficient to achieve the 20% return on equity target. Construction will
be  completed and homes handed  over in the second  half of 2025 in the terraced
houses  of the Iseära project and in the Regati project. The majority of revenue
and  profit will be generated in the second  half of the year, especially in the
final quarter. For the projects to be completed during 2025 we had 88 units with
a  revenue  value  of  38 million  euros  sold  under contracts under the law of
obligations  by the end  of the second  quarter. (31.03.2025: 104 and 41 million
euros; 31.12.2024: 86 and 36 million euros).

With  construction completions and home deliveries, we forecast that the balance
of  borrowings will decrease by the end of the year to a level below that at the
beginning  of 2025. As is characteristic of Liven's business model, construction
loan  volumes  are  cyclical  and  depend  heavily  on  the  composition  of the
development  portfolio. Therefore, we anticipate  loan volumes to increase again
in  the  first  half  of  2026, primarily  due  to  the  financing  needs of new
construction projects.

Real  estate  development  is  characterized  by  a long-time lag in results and
higher  marketing costs in  the periods before  sales volumes start  to grow. In
addition  to the  ongoing constructions,  we are  working hard  on pre-sales and
construction starts of new projects and phases that will have an impact on 2026
results.  This also  includes the  development project  at Erika  6a and 6b, the
impact of which will be seen in the results of 2027.

Liven's development portfolio has sufficient volume for the next 4-5 years.
However, we continue to seek new sites and actively negotiate acquisitions or
joint developments with landowners to expand the portfolio.
