Comments from the CEO

With the fourth quarter, we put an end to an eventful year in which we went from a cautious start to a strong finish with both increased sales and an increase in production starts. Our markets gradually stabilised during the year, with increased activity from low levels. With increased demand for newly produced housing units, lower net debt, stable operating cash flow in 2024 and an attractive project portfolio, we are looking forward to 2025 with confidence.

Housing market continues to strengthen

The housing market gradually recovered in 2024, and interest in newly produced housing units is increasing even though we have some way to go before reaching normalised levels. Demand has increased as an effect of strengthened buying power among households owing to rising disposable incomes and lower interest levels. In Germany, Bonava has favourable exposure to markets with economic growth and a pent-up need, even if the German economy as a whole has its challenges. Demand for housing units is continuing to increase, while supply is low, in larger cities such as Berlin, Düsseldorf and Cologne, and in Stockholm and Riga as well. Activity levels in the transaction market also increased during the second half of the year, and Bonava has signed agreements on sales and construction of rental projects for investors in Germany and Finland at an aggregate value of SEK 1.8 Bn, which will be recognized in profit mainly during 2026.

Strong conclusion to the year

Bonava concluded 2024 on a strong note, with both sales and production starts more than doubling during the fourth quarter. There was a steady improvement in bookings during the year, and the number of sold and reserved housing units increased by 35 per cent for the full year compared with 2023. At the end of the fourth quarter, the sales value of housing units in ongoing production amounted to approximately SEK 7.6 Bn, compared to SEK 6.7 Bn as of 30 September 2024. The sales rate for ongoing production increased to 59 per cent (55) despite the sharp increase in production starts late in the year.

Stable margins despite lower business volume and significantly strengthened financial position

Net sales decreased, as expected, totalling SEK 3.1 Bn (5.0) in the fourth quarter. Despite the lower business volume, we posted an increased operating gross margin of 14.7 per cent (13.5) and a stable operating EBIT margin of 9.2 per cent (9.3). This is attributable to measures that were taken to reduce the company's indirect production costs and other overheads. Overall, we have achieved yearly gross cost savings of nearly SEK 1.1 Bn, compared with the yearly basis for 2022, which is slightly better than plan.

Focus in recent years has been on reducing financial risk. These efforts have involved sales of building rights that were not considered to be strategic, entering into partnerships that strengthened our offering, starting production of projects and keeping the stock of completed unsold housing units down. Active sales efforts have decreased the book value of completed unsold housing units from SEK 1.5 Bn to SEK 0.8 Bn, during the year. In total, these measures enabled a significant increase of the operating cash flow, amounting to SEK 1.5 Bn (0.5) for the full year, which along with the carried out rights issue, resulted in net debt decreasing to SEK 3.1 Bn (5.0). Thereby we enter 2025 with a significantly strengthened financial position.

2024 – a year of both consolidation and growth

The rapid worsening of the market situation that started in the spring of 2022 meant enormous challenges for all residential developers, and Bonava was no exception. We were resolute in managing the challenges that arose, and we drew lessons from these experiences. We quickly reduced our investments, initiating major cost adjustments at the same time. One of the greatest changes that was implemented is the significant increase in decentralisation, which gave us the opportunity to work closer to our markets while we can work more efficiently with an agile organisation in which we gain better leverage with increasing volumes.

2024 was a bridge from market uncertainty to firmer ground. The year developed in accordance with our plans, with gradual increases in sales and production starts. Bonava holds a good market position in its segments, with good opportunities for growth combined with an attractive building rights portfolio. Focus is on long-term profitability, financial strength and operational control. Profitability in started projects is higher than in the housing units that were delivered and recognized in 2024. Production costs have stabilised – even decreased somewhat – during the year, and we have a solid basis to significantly increase the number of production starts during 2025.

I would like to extend my sincere thanks to all our employees, suppliers, shareholders and partners for the past year, and I look forward to continuing our shared ambition of creating many more happy neighbourhoods in 2025 – without you, none of this would have been possible!

OCTOBER–DECEMBER 2024

Net sales

As expected, fewer housing units were delivered than in the previous year, which means that net sales decreased to SEK 3,144 M (4,989). During the period, 552 (900) housing units for consumers and 249 (544) housing units for investors were recognised in profit. The average price per housing unit recognised in profit amounted to SEK 3.9 M (3.4). Germany accounted for a larger share of sales, which had a positive contribution since average prices tend to be higher in Germany.

Translation of foreign currencies had an effect of SEK -2 M on sales compared with the year-earlier period.

Operating EBIT

Operating gross profit amounted to SEK 462 M (672) and the operating gross margin for the quarter strengthened to 14.7 per cent (13.5).

Operating EBIT was SEK 288 M (464) and the operating EBIT margin was 9.2 per cent (9.3). The decrease in operating EBIT is attributable primarily to the lower business volume, which was not sufficient to cover overheads.

Exchange rate fluctuations had a negative impact of SEK -1 M on EBIT.

EBIT according to IFRS

EBIT according to IFRS totalled SEK 288 M (427). The difference compared with operating EBIT amounted to SEK 0 M (-37). The comparative period was charged with SEK -37 M in items affecting comparability pertaining to impairment in Germany and restructuring.

Net financial items, profit/loss before tax, tax and profit/loss for the period

Net financial items amounted to SEK -123 M (-132), with the reduced net debt having decreased interest expenses.

Profit before tax for the quarter was SEK 166 M (294). Tax on profit for the quarter was SEK -7 M (-5), corresponding to a tax rate of 4 per cent (2). The low tax rate was attributable to deferred tax not being reported, either for deficits generated in 2024 or in the comparative period.

Profit for the period for continuing operations amounted to SEK 159 M (289).

JANUARY–DECEMBER 2024

Net sales

Net sales amounted to SEK 8,194 M (13,269). During the period, 1,630 (2,419) housing units for consumers and 465 (1,550) housing units for investors were recognised in profit. The average price per housing unit recognised in profit amounted to SEK 3.7 M (3.3).

Translation of foreign currencies had a negative effect of SEK -23 M compared with the year-earlier period.

Operating EBIT

Operating gross profit amounted to SEK 948 M (1,421) and the operating gross margin for the period was 11.6 per cent (10.7). Operating EBIT was SEK 290 M (660) and the operating EBIT

margin was 3.5 per cent (5.0).

Exchange rate fluctuations impacted EBIT by SEK -1 M compared with the year-earlier period.

EBIT according to IFRS

EBIT according to IFRS was SEK 22 M (-619). The difference compared with operating EBIT consists primarily of impairment of properties held for future development. Total operating adjustments totalled SEK -123 M for Sweden, SEK -114 M for Germany and SEK - 30 M for Finland. In the comparative period, SEK -1,279 M pertaining to impairments and restructuring was classified as items affecting comparability.

Net financial items, profit/loss before tax, tax and profit/loss for the period

Net financial items totalled SEK -524 M (-518) with higher interest rates partially offsetting the effect of reduced net debt.

Loss before tax for the period was SEK -501 M (-1,137). Tax on loss for the period was SEK -17 M (-5), corresponding to a tax rate of -3 per cent (0). The low tax rate was attributable to deferred tax not being reported, either for deficits generated in 2024 or in the comparative period.

Loss for the period for continuing operations amounted to SEK -518 M (-1,143).

* Beginning with the second quarter of 2024, monitoring of the segments has partially been changed, which is why Bonava recognises an operating gross profit and operating EBIT (earnings by segment), which corresponds to the earnings that form the basis of the monitoring of each segment in the Group. The operating EBIT comprises EBIT before items affecting comparability adjusted for impairment, sales of land, items related to restructuring and costs for M&A.

The figures that are based on segment reporting are marked in brown in the tables in this report. A bridge between operating EBIT and EBIT is found in Note 2.

Building rights portfolio, completed housing units and ongoing production

BUILDING RIGHTS PORTFOLIO

The total number of building rights at the end of the period was 25,900 (28,900). This decrease is attributable to housing starts, divestments of non-strategic building rights and some options that were handed back. Of the total number of building rights at the end of the period 6,300 (8,200) were recognised off the balance sheet. During the year, Bonava proactively worked with its building rights portfolio and the commitments associated with it, which included ensuring a good match between occupancy and production starts. Investment commitments for building rights off the balance sheet have gradually decreased and totalled SEK 1.2 Bn as of the balance sheet date, which is SEK 0.2 Bn less than in the preceding quarter. Of this, SEK 0.7 Bn is expected to be settled in 2025. Refer further to Note 7.

During the third quarter of 2024, the building rights portfolio was assessed through both external valuations and internally by assessing the discounted future cash flow (DCF) from projects to be started for development properties. Bonava has applied the lowest of the external value and the internally calculated DCF. The valuation has resulted in impairments of SEK 143 M in the third quarter, corresponding to 1 per cent of the assessed value of the portfolio. The assessed value of the portfolio at 30 September 2024 amounted to SEK 11.9 Bn. This corresponded to a surplus value of SEK 4.6 Bn at that point in time. In the preceding year's evaluation, during the third quarter, the surplus value of the valuation based on Bonava assessment with external valuation as starting point, totalled SEK 1.2 Bn. The internal valuation

Estimated completions of ongoing projects, per quarter Consumers Investors

done 2023, performed in the same way as the valuation in 2024, would have resulted in a surplus value of SEK 3.7 Bn. The increase in the surplus value in the internal assessment from SEK 3.7 Bn to SEK 4.6 Bn is attributable primarily to a lower discount rate.

SOLD COMPLETED HOUSING UNITS NOT RECOGNISED IN PROFIT

The number of sold completed housing units not recognised in profit at the end of the period was 59 (45). As of 30 September 2024, the figure was 51.

UNSOLD COMPLETED HOUSING UNITS

The number of unsold completed housing units at the end of the period was 309 (505). The value of these housing units totalled SEK 791 M (1,455). As of 30 September 2024, the value was SEK 933 M and the number of units was 330, of which 108 were sold during the quarter and 87 housing units were added from projects that were completed during the period.

VALUE OF HOUSING UNITS SOLD NOT YET RECOGNISED IN PROFIT

The number of housing units in ongoing production was 3,177 (3,055) with a sales rate of 59 per cent (55).

The sales value of housing units sold in projects started totalled SEK 7,556 M (7,129), of which SEK 4,314 M (4,363) for consumers and SEK 3,242 M (2,766) for investors.

The upper line of text shows an amended estimate of when the units are expected to be completed, compared with the preceding quarter. The bottom line of text shows the expected time of completion for the units for which production has started during the quarter.

Starting in the second quarter of 2024, Bonava reports a simplified operating cash flow that reflects EBITDA together with net investments and changes in working capital in the balance sheet in accordance with IFRS, without adjustments for exchange-rate changes and other non-cash items. However, the comparative figures produced have been adjusted for the divestments of operations that took place in 2023. A bridge between operating cash flow and the legal cash flow before financing activities is provided in Note 11.

CASH FLOW OCTOBER–DECEMBER 2024

EBITDA totalled SEK 314 M (434), no operating adjustments (-37) were recognised during the quarter.

Net investments amounted to SEK 806 M (2,483), driven by net divestments of SEK 714 M (2,420) in project operations.

The change in working capital totalled SEK -597 M (-1,909) with a decrease in customer advances owing to deliveries in Germany and Finland having impacted cash flow by SEK -603 M (-2,211).

In total, the operating cash flow decreased during the quarter, amounting to SEK 523 M (1,008).

Cash flow before financing activities was SEK 461 M (940). The negative discrepancy compared with the operating cash flow is attributable primarily to financial items of SEK -80 M (-106). Refer to Note 11 for the bridge between operating cash flow and legal cash flow.

CASH FLOW JANUARY–DECEMBER 2024

EBITDA totalled SEK 132 M (-302) and includes impairment of SEK 244 M (721) that is not included in operating EBITDA.

Net investments totalled SEK 1,886 M (3,534), with net divestments in project operations of SEK 954 M being lower than the SEK 3,926 M that was recognised in the preceding year. Net changes in land amounted to SEK 988 M (-374), with SEK 244 M (721) of this effect being due to recognised impairment. Excluding this, changes in land totalled SEK 744 M for the period, which is attributable to a small number of strategic sales of properties held for future development and reclassifications to ongoing projects.

The change in working capital totalled SEK -494 M (-2,694) with an increase in customer advances contributing SEK 78 M (-2,046).

In total, the operating cash flow strengthened during the period, amounting to SEK 1,524 M (538).

Cash flow before financing activities was SEK 621 M (716), with the negative discrepancy compared with the operating cash flow, attributable primarily to financial items of SEK -482 M (-521) and changes in project financing of SEK -347 M (-807). The preceding year also included a positive effect from the sale of the operations in Norway and St. Petersburg. Refer to Note 11 for the bridge between operating cash flow and legal cash flow.

Financing and net debt

Bonava's objective is to achieve a cost-efficient capital structure and a good credit rating, taking into account the financing needs of the operation and securing future acquisitions. The Parent Company finances the operation mainly through a syndicated credit agreement and bonds. When monitoring its capital structure, Bonava uses key measures including the current and forecast equity/assets ratio, liquidity, and net project asset value.

Net debt

Net debt amounted to SEK 3,068 M (4,951). As of 30 September 2024, net debt was SEK 3,491 M. The decrease during the quarter was due to a positive cash flow from operations. Cash and cash equivalents amounted to SEK 593 M and unutilised credits amounted to SEK 1,530 M. Refer further to Note 4. Exchange rate fluctuations impacted net debt by SEK 67 M compared with 31 December 2023 and SEK 55 M compared with 30 September 2024.

Equity/assets ratio

The equity/assets ratio was 41.7 per cent (34.6). As of 30 September 2024, the equity/assets ratio was 38.2 per cent. Bonava's target is for the equity/assets ratio not to fall below 30 per cent.

Net project asset value

To ensure control of financial risk, Bonava's target is for the Group's net project asset value to not to exceed net debt (excluding leases). Net project asset value is defined as the carrying amounts of ongoing housing projects, completed housing units and investment properties less customer advances. As of the balance sheet date, the ratio between net project asset value to net debt excluding leasing was 1.6 (1.2), and the target has therefore been met.

Capital and fixed interest rates

At the end of the period, the average fixed-rate term was 0.2 years (0.1), excluding project financing, and the average interest rate was 7.58 per cent (7.07). The maturity rate of tied-up capital for liabilities to credit institutions and investors was 1.7 years at the end of the period.

The Group's financing framework

Bonava has a credit agreement totalling EUR 398 M that matures on 1 February 2027. The agreement, which was signed on 1 February 2024, encompasses credits and a revolving credit facility (RCF) with contractual amortisations starting in December 2024. Credits under this agreement can be drawn in EUR, SEK and NOK and are divided

between fixed-term tranches and an RCF that can be utilised as needed during the tenor of the credit.

In February, Bonava also conducted a fully underwritten preferential rights issue, which raised SEK 1,050 M less issue expenses for the company. In the first quarter of 2024, the terms and conditions were also updated for the bond loan, which at the same time was extended to March 2027. The nominal amount of the bond loan is SEK 960 M.

Covenants in loan agreements

Bonava's syndicated credit agreements include two covenants. The first is that EBIT, with certain contractual adjustments, must exceed determined levels, which vary for each quarter. The second is a level for the lowest level of available liquidity that the Group is to maintain in the form of cash and cash equivalents or available credits. Both covenants had been fulfilled as of the balance sheet date.

Green financing

Since 2020 Bonava has had a green financing framework, through which the company can issue bond loans and raise loans to fund sustainable residential development with the aim of promoting positive environmental effects. Bonava has issued a green bond loan that is listed on the Nasdaq Sustainable Bond List. Green financing amounted to SEK 1,998 M (2,889).

Unutilised credit limits

The nominal amount of the bond loan was SEK 960 M, under the loan terms in force the redemption price amounted to SEK 970 M on the balance sheet date.

The syndicated credits will be repaid as agreed during the period from December 2024 to March 2027. The outstanding amount for loans raised in EUR was SEK 1,325 M on the balance sheet date.

The amount utilised in RCF totalled SEK 1,527 M on the balance sheet date, of which SEK 489 M was raised in NOK and SEK 1,038 M in EUR. The unutilised amount totalled SEK 1,530 M.

In addition to the above, there are contractual credit frames for projects in Swedish tenant-owner associations and Finnish housing companies, with SEK 320 M being utilised on the balance sheet date and the contractual unutilised credits totalled SEK 74 M.

In the fourth quarter, Bonava also secured financing from local banks for its investment properties in the Baltics. In December, Bonava received a payment of SEK 92 M (EUR 8 M) pertaining to the property in Estonia. There is no unutilised credit left for this loan. Furthermore, a loan agreement of SEK 69 M (EUR 6 M) related to the property in Latvia was signed for payment in January 2025.

Germany

Germany is Bonava's largest market, with operations in the major city regions of Berlin and Hamburg as well as the Baltic Sea, Saxony, Rhein-Ruhr, Cologne/Bonn, Rhein-Main and Rhein-Neckar/Stuttgart. We offer apartments and single-family homes to consumers, and rental housing projects to investors.

MARKET TREND

There is still a shortage of homes in Germany, and the German state estimates that 400,000 newly produced housing units will need to be built yearly. The issue is high on the political agenda, and the offering of new housing units is low. Despite the existing macroeconomic challenges in Germany, there are positive signs of increasingly favourable conditions in the regions and segments where Bonava is pursuing residential development.

EARNINGS OCTOBER–DECEMBER 2024

Net sales decreased year-on-year to SEK 2,559 M (3,154), which is attributable to fewer housing units being delivered to consumers. During the quarter, 360 (475) housing units for consumers and 195 (166) housing units for investors were recognised in profit.

Additional investor transactions were carried out in the fourth quarter, which means that Bonava in Germany recognised 385 sold and started housing units for investors. The number of units sold to consumers also increased compared with the year-earlier period, while units started for consumers was somewhat lower.

EARNINGS JANUARY–DECEMBER 2024

Net sales decreased year-on-year to SEK 5,678 M (7,283), which is attributable to fewer housing units for consumers being delivered.

The operating gross margin was somewhat lower than in the preceding year and amounted to 12.2 per cent (12.6), which is attributable to the mix in housing units delivered.

Operating EBIT totalled SEK 431 M (628) with an operating EBIT margin of 7.6 per cent (8.6), with the implemented restructuring beginning to have an increasing effect in the form of lower selling and administrative expenses.

The operating gross margin amounted to 13.3 per cent (14.8),
which is attributable to the mix in housing units delivered in 2024.
Operating EBIT totalled SEK 267 M (386) with an operating EBIT
margin of 10.4 per cent (12.2), with the implemented restructuring
beginning to have an increasingly greater effect in the form of lower
selling and administrative expenses in the quarter. The restructuring is
proceeding as planned, and we saw a reduction in these costs in 2024
with full effect beginning in 2025.

Sweden

In Sweden, Bonava offers apartments and single-family homes to consumers in Stockholm, Gothenburg, Linköping, Uppsala and Umeå. We offer rental housing projects to investors all over Sweden.

MARKET TREND

The housing market in recent years has been under pressure from the high interest-rate scenario that has made customers cautious, with lower sales levels and fewer production starts as a result. The quarter continued to display higher levels of activity among customers, a slight improvement in the interest-rate situation and more stable price levels, with a significantly more positive sentiment among customers. Sales increased but remain at low levels.

EARNINGS OCTOBER–DECEMBER 2024

Net sales decreased year-on-year to SEK 131 M (858), which is attributable to a lower number of housing units delivered to both consumers and investors. During the quarter, 33 (140) housing units for consumers and 0 (162) housing units for investors were recognised in profit.

EARNINGS JANUARY–DECEMBER 2024

Net sales decreased year-on-year to SEK 1,073 M (2,685), which is attributable to a lower number of housing units delivered to consumers and investors.

The operating gross margin was 5.7 per cent (8.4).

Operating EBIT amounted to SEK -57 M (77) with an operating EBIT margin of -5.3 per cent (2.9).

Housing units sold to consumers increased somewhat year-on-year
and a further 27 housing units for consumers were started during the
quarter, compared with none in the preceding year. The sales rate for
ongoing production increased and was 45 per cent (24).
The operating gross margin increased to 18.0 per cent (11.5) as a
result of the reversal of provisions for risks that no longer exist.
Operating EBIT amounted to SEK -8 M (60) with an operating EBIT
margin of -5.7 per cent (7.0), as a result of lower volumes and lower
margins in housing units recognised in profit.
EBIT margin of -5.3 per cent (2.9).

Finland

In Finland, Bonava is active in regions of Helsinki, Tampere and Turku. We offer apartments for consumers and rental housing projects for investors.

MARKET TREND

The housing market is concentrated primarily to the metropolitan regions with the largest population growth and expanded infrastructure: Helsinki, Tampere and Turku. In the housing market in Finland, supply remains greater than demand and customer activity remains low. Inflation is decreasing more rapidly than in the rest of the EU, and the policy interest rates have continued to fall. The interest-rate trend is expected to support demand, and real incomes are expected to increase going forward, although it will take time for the market to normalise.

EARNINGS OCTOBER–DECEMBER 2024

Net sales decreased year-on-year to SEK 226 M (646), which was attributable to a lower number of housing units delivered. During the quarter, 16 (71) housing units for consumers and 54 (216) housing units for investors were recognised in profit.

A rental project comprising 99 housing units in Turku was sold to investors during the quarter and production was started. Housing units sold to consumers totalled 19 (33).

EARNINGS JANUARY–DECEMBER 2024

Net sales decreased year-on-year to SEK 791 M (2,531), which was attributable to a lower number of housing units delivered.

The operating gross margin increased year-on-year to 12.3 per cent (7.6) as a result of improved project margins and reversal of previously provisioned costs for a warranty issue that was resolved in Bonava's favour.

units sold to consumers totalled 19 (33).
The operating gross margin increased to 26.4 (10.2) as a result of
improved project margins and reversal of previously provisioned costs
for a warranty issue that was resolved in Bonava's favour.
Operating EBIT amounted to SEK 30 M (45) with an operating EBIT
margin of 13.1 per cent (7.0). The improvement in the operating
margin is attributable primarily to the improved gross margin.
Despite improved project margins, operating EBIT fell to SEK -8 M
(107) as a result of lower volumes that did not cover indirect costs.
The operating EBIT margin thus amounted to -1.0 per cent (4.2).

Baltics

The Baltics segment comprises the capital cities of Tallinn, Estonia; Riga, Latvia; and Vilnius in Lithuania. The offering primarily consists of apartments for consumers, which are supplemented by rental housing projects for investors.

MARKET TREND

The markets in all three Baltic capitals are growing economies. The low standard of the existing housing stock combined with growing demand for rental housing presents opportunities to build and manage them. The favourable market conditions in the Baltic markets remain, with a low level of unemployment and a lack of supply. The prices for new housing units are stable in all markets and sales are gradually improving, but we noted higher levels of activity in Latvia and Estonia than in Lithuania.

EARNINGS OCTOBER–DECEMBER 2024

Net sales amounted to SEK 228 M (332). During the quarter, 143 (214) housing units for consumers and 0 (0) housing units for investors were recognised in profit.

EARNINGS JANUARY–DECEMBER 2024

Net sales decreased year-on-year to SEK 651 M (770), which is attributable to fewer housing units being delivered to consumers. The operating gross margin decreased slightly to 14.5 per cent

Housing units sold to consumers increased to 173 (81) and

Current events in sustainability

We build more than homes – we create happy neighbourhoods for the many. Bonava builds homes and neighbourhoods based on a genuine understanding of our customers' needs and driving forces. Our sustainability agenda gives us a stable foundation to work from.

Actions to create a safe workplace

One of Bonava's strategic targets is to halve the number of severe incidents by 2026, compared with 2022. To achieve this, each business unit will produce a yearly activity plan to implement: an Everyone plan. These are also part of safeguarding our ambition of establishing a proactive way of working for 2026.

The plan should be at least 90 per cent fulfilled. In producing health and safety plans, there are three company-wide themes that every plan should contain:

  • Leadership culture with respect as a driver.
  • Proactive efforts through a systematic and standardised approach.
  • Learning from both incidents and what we did right, with a focus on reducing severe incidents.

The outcome for 2024 was 95.4 per cent fulfilment of improvement activities, which means that on the whole all activities that were planned for 2024 have been carried out.

Bonava rewards climate performance

Combating climate change is a strategic target for us, which we measure and henceforth will reward on an individual basis.

Starting in 2025, evaluation of climate performance will be part of the total performance assessment that is applied to both short-term incentive programmes (STIs) and long-term incentive programs (LTIs). We integrate climate into performance assessments by evaluating three principles:

  • Materiality, with a focus on putting a premium on insights that lead to large reductions in emissions, in combination with economic sustainability in the projects.
  • Measurability, which ensures that the initiatives are quantifiable for better decision-making.
  • Market, which takes the local conditions of markets into account in order to create insights for reductions of emissions, for example, based on the range of emissionsreducing materials or the maturity of supplier markets for delivering specific emissions data.

Bonava's strategic targets for sustainability

Notes for the Group

NOTE 1 Accounting policies

This Interim Report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting, recommendation RFR 1 Supplementary Accounting Rules for Groups from the Swedish Financial Reporting Board, and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. This Interim Report covers pages 1–26, and pages 1–14 are thereby an integrated part of this financial report. The accounting policies applied in the preparation of this Interim Report apply to all periods and comply with the accounting policies presented in Note 1 Significant accounting policies in Bonava's 2023 Annual Report, pages 67–70. The Annual Report is available at bonava.com.

As of 1 January 2024, additional changes to IAS 1 concerning classification of liabilities as either short or long-term in the statement of financial position has entered force. IASB has also clarified that the terms of loans that a company must meet after the balance sheet date do not affect whether liabilities are to be classified as short or long-term. With this change, however, disclosure requirements are being added concerning terms of loans that must be fulfilled within 12 months of the end of the reporting period in order for the liabilities not to fall due for payment. Refer to Note 4 for further information.

Beginning with the second quarter of 2024, monitoring of the segments has partially been changed, which is why Bonava recognises an operating gross profit and operating EBIT (earnings by segment), which corresponds to the earnings that form the basis of the monitoring of each segment in the Group. The operating EBIT comprises EBIT before items affecting comparability adjusted for impairment, sales of land, items related to restructuring and costs for M&A. The figures that are based on segment reporting are marked in brown in this report. A bridge between operating EBIT and EBIT is found in Note 2 Reporting of operating segments. No corrections

have been made to the comparative figures, which thereby correspond to EBIT before items affecting comparability.

Bonava also recognises an operating cash flow that is based on IFRS reporting. The operating cash flow corresponds to EBITDA adjusted for net investments in fixed assets, properties held for future development, ongoing housing projects and completed housing units as well as changes in working capital on the balance sheet according to IFRS, excluding adjustments for exchange-rate changes and other non-cash items. However, the comparative figures produced have been adjusted for the divestments of operations that took place in 2023. A bridge between operating and legal cash flow can be found in note 11.

The building rights are recognised as current assets and measured at the lower of cost and market value, item by item. During the third quarter of 2024, the building rights portfolio was assessed through both external valuations and internally by assessing the discounted future cash flows (DCF). The external valuations covered approximately 30 per cent of the portfolio, and furthermore the internal model was checked externally regarding the model and yield requirements. In cases where an external valuation was obtained for an item, Bonava has applied the lowest of the external value and the internally calculated DCF. The valuation model for building rights that Bonava applies is a valuation model where cash flows from projects to be started for development properties are valued through a discounted cash flow approach. The assessed risk of the cash flows is taken into consideration by including risk provisions and also an assessment is made regarding where in the project cycle the project is. Based on the assessed risk in each project, a discount rate is applied which reflects this risk. In the valuation conducted 2024, the discounted rate (unlevered) varied between 8.4 and 11.5 (12.5) with an average unlevered discount rate of 9.2 per cent.

NOTE 2 Reporting of operating segments

is taken into consideration by including risk provisions and also an
assessment is made regarding where in the project cycle the project
is. Based on the assessed risk in each project, a discount rate is
applied which reflects this risk. In the valuation conducted 2024, the
discounted rate (unlevered) varied between 8.4 and 11.5 (12.5) with
an average unlevered discount rate of 9.2 per cent.

NOTE 5 Fair value of financial instruments

Fair value for the financial instruments that are continuously
measured at fair value in Bonava's balance sheet is determined on
the basis of three levels. No transfers have been made between the
levels during the period.
At level 1, Bonava has one outstanding bond loan, fair value for
the loan deviates marginally from book value.
Level 2 derivative instruments comprise currency swaps where the
measurement at fair value of currency-forward contracts is based on
even if housing projects are not started.

The fair value of non-current and current interest-bearing liabilities commitment is limited to SEK 600 M.

The fair value of non-current and current interest-bearing liabilities differs only marginally from the carrying amount and is therefore not recognised separately in this interim report. For financial instruments recognised at amortised cost, the carrying amount of accounts receivable, other receivables, cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable and other interest-free liabilities is considered equal to the fair value.

NOTE 6 Investment properties

NOTE 6 Investment properties
Investment properties are measured at fair value in accordance with
IAS 40. At the balance sheet date, fair value was deemed to
correspond to the carrying amount, which is why no unrealised
change in value was recognised. Classification is at level 3 according

NOTE 7 Investment commitments

Bonava has signed agreements on the purchase of building rights that are conditional and have not yet been recognised as part of the financial statements. At 31 December 2024, the total value of these commitments was SEK 1.2 Bn (SEK 1.4 Bn at 30 September 2024).

The investments are expected to be adjusted by SEK 0.7 Bn in 2025, SEK 0.1 Bn in 2026 and SEK 0.4 Bn in 2027 and later. The majority of the reduction in the quarter is attributable to land that was taken into possession in Sweden. The agreements are often conditional on building permits being received or zoning plans being approved.

Additionally, Bonava has signed agreements that provide options for the acquisition of building rights. In cases where the option is exercised, this means a future outflow of cash. In cases where the option is not exercised, it could entail a cost for Bonava, mainly through impairment of recognised advances. 2024 2023

The Parent Company in brief

JANUARY–DECEMBER 2024

The Parent Company comprises the operations of Bonava AB (publ). Net sales for the company totalled SEK 167 M (213). Profit after financial items was SEK 166 M (-1,109). The comparative period was negatively impacted by the sale of the Norwegian operations in the second quarter of 2023 (SEK -812 M) and impairment of a receivable in the form of an anticipated dividend from the subsidiary in Germany (SEK -390 M) and impairment of participations in Group companies in Sweden as a result of shareholder contributions paid (SEK -480 M) in the third and fourth quarters of 2023. The divestment of the operations in St. Petersburg, which was concluded in the fourth quarter of 2023, yielded a positive effect of SEK 564 M.

In February 2024, Bonava conducted a fully underwritten preferential rights issue that raised SEK 1,050 M less issue expenses for the company. As a result of the rights issue, Bonava AB's share capital increased by SEK 104,580,931 to SEK 538,324,219. For its obligations under the credit facility agreement and bond loan, Bonava has pledged as collateral the shares in the wholly owned subsidiary Bonava Group Holding AB, into which ownership of all of the Group's subsidiaries has been gathered through shareholder contributions or non-cash issue. Material receivables and some intra-Group receivables have also been pledged for Bonava AB's liabilities under the credit facility agreement. In the third quarter of 2024, some of Bonava AB's receivables in subsidiaries were reclassified from current to non-current owing to changes to loan terms, which is the primary reason for the shift between current assets and fixed assets.
