CONTINUED FOCUS ON THE RIGHT DEALS AND ADAPTATION OF OPERATIONS

The economic conditions are in place for a turnaround in the construction sector, not least thanks to an improved interest rate outlook. However, due to high overall costs and global uncertainty, our clients are continuing to show a cautious approach. The strained market conditions in recent years have led many operators to submit very low tenders. We are now seeing the consequences of this, with large contractors and subcontractors going bankrupt, projects being abandoned and procurements needing to be repeated. My hope for 2025 is that all operators in the construction sector, including clients and contractors, will work together to create better conditions for a well-functioning market. This will benefit all of us as well as society at large.

PRIORITISING PROFITABLE PROJECTS OVER INCREASED FUTURE SALES

Building trust is important to us. In a challenging and highly competitive market, we took an active decision during the year to prioritise future profitability over sales growth. This meant we only submitted tenders with solid prospects for being competitive and and delivering quality end products to our clients While this selective approach contributed to a reduced order intake for 2024, our opportunities to win new contracts were also hampered by the general decline in the industry, with fewer available projects and increased competition.

During the year, we also lowered our debt ratio, divested several properties and completed most of the unprofitable projects that negatively impacted our profits. We have focused strongly on control ling and monitoring our projects, managing risk and adapting our opera tions and organisation to expected future order volumes.

DIVESTMENT OF RESIDENTIAL PROJECT PORTFOLIO AND NEW SHARE ISSUE

To further strengthen our future business, we launched two strategic initiatives early in 2025.

We decided to concentrate our self-developed project operations in the Commercial and Logistics and Industry business areas. In relation to this, we have issued a letter of intent for the divestment of our project development operations in the Residential business area. In connection with this year-end report, we also announce the Board of Directors' decision to issue shares worth SEK 150 million to strengthen the company's liquidity. This will create opportunities for new development projects in Commercial and Logistics and Industry, segments that have historically delivered higher margins than residen tial projects.

Thanks to the organisational changes implemented in 2024 and early 2025, we are now better equipped to meet today's market and that of the foreseeable future. We will continue to conduct our core activities in three business areas, but will further streamline and specialise our offering. To further reduce risk, we will focus even more strongly on seeking partnerships with strong clients as well as suppliers and subcontractors for our projects. For example, several government organisations have large construction plans going forward, where we can offer the right skills and experience within our organisation from previous assignments.

Through these measures and strategic initiatives we will strengthen our prospects for creating long-term value for the Wästbygg Group and its shareholders.

GENERAL MARKET SITUATION

SUMMARY

An average of the latest forecasts suggests that the Swedish GNP could rise by just over 0.5 percent in 2024, which is lower than previous forecasts for the year. GNP growth is expected to start picking up in the present year, and then to reach just over 2 percent in 2025 and almost 3 percent in 2026. Households are expected to power this growth, stimulated by reduced interest costs and expansive fiscal policy in 2025. However, continued labour market uncertainty could dampen consumption. Unemployment looks set to level off at around 8.5 percent in 2025 and then start declining in 2026. This is expected to boost consumption further.

Swedish inflation appears under control. The Riksbank cut interest rates four times in 2024, from 4.0 to 2.75 percent, and one more time in January 2025. Although the outlook for the Swedish economy has brightened, and combined forecasts indicate a tentative upswing this year followed by a rising growth rate as of 2025, there are is still very little concrete evidence that the economy is poised for recovery. The National Institute of Economic Research's Economic Tendency Survey for November suggests that the bleaker-than-usual situation will continue, although the outlook has brightened since the measurement in October.

Navet Analytics assesses that the negative trend in building construction investment has bottomed out, and that a slight upswing is imminent. The total volume of initiated building construction investment is expected to climb 2 percent this year. This growth, while admittedly weak, is broad-based. The sharp decline in construction of single-family housing appears set to continue this year, while a slight drop in new-build construction of office, hotel and retail premises also looks likely.

A positive trend is predicted for other sectors of the building construction market. Inflation has slowed, as have rises in construction material prices. Interest rates are expected to continue falling, creating favourable economic conditions for investment in residential and commercial premises. However, unemployment is high and demand remains weak, dampening demand for new commercial and residential premises. Annual growth in building construction investment is expected to be 5 percent in 2025 and 2026.

Total initiated building construction investment in the Wästbygg Group's three business areas in the first three months of 2024 was just under SEK 112 billion. This marks a 15 percent decrease on the same period in 2023 and a slight decline in performance compared to the previous report. If the outcome for the three business areas is analysed against the forecast, the Residential business area performed worse than forecast, while Commercial performed better and Logistics and Industry was in line with expectations.

In this report, Navet Analytics only made marginal adjustments to the forecasts. The forecast for the Commercial business area fell by 2 percent, while Logistics and Industry rose by 2 percent. The total volume for the three business areas is expected to remain unchanged in 2024 compared with 2023, which is the same assessment as in the previous report. As the economy improves, building construction investment is also expected to grow. Towards the end of the forecast period, which runs until 2026, the combined figure for Wästbygg's three business areas is expected to be 12–15 percent above the current level. Navet Analytics expects the Residential business area to see the strongest growth in percentage terms, albeit coming from a low base.

Within the group, Wästbygg and Logistic Contractor are certified according to ISO 9001, 14001 and 45001. Rekab Entreprenad is certified according to ISO 9001 and 14001.

Thanks to our green framework, transparency around our sustainability efforts improves and it serves as an internal control tool for our business decisions.

BUSINESS STRATEGIES

The Wästbygg Group's four business strategies are set out in the company's business plan. They are designed to promote long-term development in areas defined as business-critical. The four strategies are:

  • Continued growth in existing business areas.
  • The proportion of self-developed projects will be 50 percent.
  • A clearly defined position in the Nordic market in Logistics and Industry.
  • Increased focus on community service properties.

A set of long-term goals is linked to each strategy.

BUSINESS MODEL

The company's business model is described on page 17 in the annual report for 2023.

OVERALL FINANCIAL GOALS, SEGMENT REPORTING

SUSTAINABILITY DATA

The Wästbygg Group's Annual and Sustainability Report for 2023 was published at the beginning of April 2024, and can be downloaded from wbgr.se. The Sustainability Report gives further details on the company's performance with regard to achieving its overarching goal of creating sustainable business.

OUR GREEN FRAMEWORK

Since 2021, the Wästbygg Group has had a green framework that enables green financing. Reporting on the greenness of our revenues, operating expenditures, investments and order backlog improves transparency regarding the company's climate commitments. The framework also serves as an internal control tool that helps us make more sustainable business decisions. The diagram at the side of the page shows the development since 2021.

S & P Global annually audits the outcome of our green framework. The audit for 2023, carried out in spring 2024, gave us a rating of Excellent in sustainability management, the same as for financial years 2022 and 2021. The company's green framework was updated when the new secured green bonds were issued in September 2024.

DIVERSITY AND SICK LEAVE

The total proportion of women in the group, the proportion of female senior executives and female board members is reported quarterly. In addition, the proportion of employees with foreign backgrounds is reported every six months. Efforts to achieve the company's goal of mirroring Sweden's population in terms of gender distribution and diversity by 2025 were negatively affected by the staff cutbacks implemented in 2023 and 2024. This is because in many cases, women and people with foreign backgrounds have been employed at the company for a shorter period of time. It is still the company's ambition to achieve this goal, but this work will take longer than is desirable.

Sick leave is reported quarterly on a rolling 12-month basis and was 3.93 percent for the most recent period.

NEW SUSTAINABILITY TARGET

A new sustainability target was adopted at the start of 2024: The Wästbygg Group will have a climate-neutral value chain by 2045. Our new climate target is aligned with the industry's and Sweden's climate targets. This also gives us a more complete picture of our climate impact, which in turn streamlines our climate management efforts and lays the foundation for more sustainable business in collaboration with all customers, suppliers and partners who share our ambition.

WÄSTBYGG GROUP'S SHARES

BUSINESS AREAS, SUMMARY

The group's order intake for 2024 was SEK 2,085 million (5,514). Adjustments made in Q4 negatively affected the order intake by SEK 61 million, due to the discontinuation of two commercial projects. More information is available on page 11. However, the reduced order intake is mainly a consequence of selective tendering throughout the entire Wästbygg Group during the year. The company has decided not to undertake projects unless they have the right criteria for profitability, and sustainable profit margins were included in the calculation when submitting tenders. Several of our competitors experienced the consequences of excessively aggressive tendering during the year, including bankruptcies that had major impacts on both subcontractors and clients. Contracts for new projects during the year were predominantly signed in the Commercial business area, primarily with municipalities and municipal companies as clients. The market for Residential was sluggish for the entire year. The same applies to Logistics and Industry, although increased market activity was seen towards year end.

The order backlog was SEK 3,790 million (6,195) as of 31 December, due to a decreased order intake.

Revenues amounted to SEK 4,348 million (4,843), due to a strong order backlog at the start of the year with several large ongoing projects. The decline is primarily attributable to the Residential business area.

Operating profit stood at SEK -333 million (-505). The slumping economy persisted throughout the year. In addition to this, extra measures were required as a result of key subcontractors in some projects going bankrupt. Several adjustments were made to our operations to reflect the company's volumes and create opportunities for profit improvement in 2025. These adjustments included staff cutbacks and office closures, but also led to the profit being impacted by one-off restructuring costs. Overall fixed costs were reduced significantly ahead of 2025, and further adjustments will be made to our workforce in Q1.

The Wästbygg Group continues to have a strong equity ratio, with no overdue debts owed to suppliers or the Government. The company has met its obligations towards clients.

SEASONAL VARIATIONS

Wästbygg Group's seasonal variations are mainly linked to order intake and revenue.

The level of order intake is usually higher during Q2 and Q4. This is explained by the fact that many customers want to conclude negotiations on new projects before the holiday period begins or before the end of the year.

The number of production days is lower during the third quarter of the year, when the holiday period occurs, which is reflected in both revenue and order intake.

RESIDENTIAL

The Wästbygg Group builds apartment buildings for private and munici pal clients. The company also develops and constructs rental apart ments and tenant-owned apartments.

The residential market has faced significant challenges over a long period, causing residential construction to slump sharply throughout Sweden in both 2023 and 2024. Cautiously positive market signals, in response to reduced inflation and anticipation of further interest rate cuts, suggest that the trend may have bottomed out. For example, we noticed an increase in demand for the apartments in our self-developed tenant-ownership projects during Q4. However, it will take time for residential construction to return to a desirable level, not least because many residential developers throughout Sweden have sizeable vacan cies in their new-build housing developments. Most of the residential production projects that are either ongoing or put out for tender are ren tal apartments with municipal housing companies as developers. There is high competition for these projects.

Operations in the Residential business area have developed in line with the national level, both in 2023 and 2024. We had 593 (1,231) apartments in production as per 31 December, the lowest number for many years. The business area's order backlog stood at SEK 380 million (853) at the end of the period. The reduction in volume is also reflected in revenues, which stood at SEK 811 million (1,376) for the full financial year. As a result of cost challenges in a few projects that were comple ted during the year, as well as project development operations largely being put on hold, Residential reported profit of SEK -245 million (-361) for 2024. The business area was also impacted by restructuring costs related to the redundancies made in September, and by the termination of the office in Solna, where residential premises made up a large share of the production.

Some people in the organisation have been moved from Solna to the Västerås office, to secure the company's after-sales commitments in the Stockholm area as well as the work with the company's existing project portfolio. Mälardalen is an important market for the company, in which we will continue to operate through the Västerås office.

In Q3 and Q4, two self-developed tenant-ownership projects became ready for occupancy: stage 1 of Tjärleken in Norrtälje and Cityterrassen in Malmö. In October, the Wästbygg Group acquired unsold apartments, in accordance with the agreement in place with each tenant-owner association. Project-related profits regarding unsold apartments will subsequently be deducted as the apartments are sold.

As per 31 December, 24 percent of the apartments in the five te nant-ownership projects where sales are in progress were unsold. They are all in highly attractive areas in each project location. In light of this,

we expect demand to increase when the economy improves. In early 2025, several sales activities were scheduled with the relevant estate agents.

Although the company's project portfolio is dominated by residential projects, it also includes many commercial development projects. One was completed in Q3. This project involved the conversion of an office and warehouse building into school premises, and the property is fully rented out. Initial ground works are currently in planning for a further

While commercial construction at an overall national level has been impacted by the slumping economy, demand varies between project types. Demand for community service properties remains strong in the market as a whole. Municipal clients are actively developing new projects, and this continues to be the dominant market segment in terms of newly signed contracts in the company. In addition, further future investments are planned within both the correctional services and the defense where Wästbygg Gruppen's employees have competence and experience. There is also some demand for small offices, production facilities and warehouses. On the other hand, demand for new retail

The Commercial business area had 107,480 sqm (131,250) of ongoing construction as of 31 December. A large multi-year 14,000 sqm project at Hudiksvall hospital was completed in Q4. Region Gävleborg has further expansion plans for Hudiksvall hospital, and we are delighted to see our collaboration continuing through the Phase 1 cooperation agreement signed in January 2025 for the extension and conversion of the hospital's logistics centre. In addition, an ongoing project for the conversion and extension of the surgical centre at Örnsköldsvik hospital has been extended to also include a conversion that will create new

The order intake for 2024 increased by 25 percent, and amounted to SEK 1,423 million (1,138). Meanwhile, a high level of implementation in ongoing projects resulted in a lower order backlog of SEK 1,414 million (1,710). The order intake and order backlog were written down by SEK 61 million due to the discontinuation of two projects in Q4. We have received compensation for these discontinuations in accordance with

Revenues for the full financial year totalled SEK 1,657 million (1,811), but the business area reported negative earnings of SEK -87 million (-78). The profit was impacted by further write-downs in an ongoing project that posed significant challenges throughout the year. Profit was also impacted by restructuring costs related to the implementation of

WÄSTBYGG GROUP'S SHARES

Operations in the Wästbygg Group's Logistics and Industry business area are conducted in the group company Logistic Contractor, with operations in Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Finland. The company specialises in developing and building large logistics and industrial facilities designed for rational handling of large volumes of goods.

The Swedish logistics market is less strong than previously. Investors are showing caution, and today's market has a relatively large supply of vacant logistics space constructed speculatively by various industry actors. However, there are still some potential projects in the market, although contracts are often taking longer to conclude. In the autumn, we saw positive signs of increased market activity in both Norway and Finland. The same tendency was seen in the Swedish market at the end of the year, which enabled us to sign two new contracts in early 2025.

On the industrial side, it is primarily in northern Sweden that the market is being cultivated. Discussions are under way with several influential players in that region regarding large projects with a timeline of several years. We are also seeing a rise in demand among industrial clients in other parts of Sweden for combined manufacturing and logistics facilities.

Due to market challenges, the Logistics and Industry business area's order intake for the full financial year was SEK 394 million (3,925) and consists of supplementary orders in ongoing projects and one previously completed project, as well as project-related profits from the contract with Niam for the sale of an ongoing development project in Norway, with Ahlsell as the future tenant. The order backlog was SEK 1,995 million (3,632) as per 31 December.

Revenues for the full financial year amounted to SEK 1,880 million (1,656), and the business area reported profit of SEK 33 million (-55). The profit was hampered by cost increases in a few projects after a major groundwork contractor went bankrupt early in the year. Final settlement for this project was made in Q4. Both revenue and profit were also impacted by delayed works at Stegra in Boden and Ahlsell in Norway, which did not start as planned at the beginning of the year. However, both projects have been in production since the spring. The business area was also impacted by costs related to staff cutbacks and the closure of the company's office in Copenhagen during the autumn.

CONTRACTS SIGNED DURING FOURTH QUARTER

No new contracts were signed in Q4.

CONTRACTS SIGNED AFTER 31 DECEMBER

  • A contract was signed with logistics company Frode Laursen for the construction of a 21,000 sqm logistics facility in Klippan municipality. The order value is SEK 135 million.
  • A Phase 1 cooperation agreement was signed with Astoria Fastighets AB for a 38,000 sqm logistics facility in Falkenberg. Continuation to Phase 2 is dependent on whether the client's budget can be met and whether building permission can be obtained. The estimated order value is approximately SEK 200 million, and the project will only be included in the Wästbygg Group's order intake once a Phase 2 construction contract has been signed.

OPERATING PROFIT

Based on the segment reporting, revenues for 2024 amounted to SEK 4,348 million (4,843). Revenues were impacted by the company's decreased order intake, which resulted in lower volumes than previously, and by the fact that two large projects in Logistics and Industry could not start construction as early this year as was planned. However, both

Operating profit stood at SEK -333 million (-505). During the year, profit was impacted by restructuring costs of approximately SEK 25 million as a result of the staff cutbacks implemented. In addition, some projects have been facing cost challenges throughout the year, resulting in the write-down of profits. Based on the current residential market situation, tenant-owned apartments acquired in self-developed residential projects were also devalued to their net realisable value, which affected Other operating expenditures. The effect of write-downs in the projects and of the company's assets totalled approximately SEK 340 million. Operating profit was also impacted by deferred start-up of projects in the Logistics and Industry business area early in the year, and by the

Profit after tax was SEK -316 million (-496), equivalent to earnings per share of SEK -9.77 (-15.34). The operating margin was -7.7 percent (-10.4).

COMMENTS ON THE INCOME STATEMENT, JANUARY–DECEMBER

ORDER INTAKE AND ORDER BACKLOG

The Wästbygg Group's order intake for 2024 was SEK 2,085 million (5,514). Write-downs totalling SEK 61 million of the order intake were carried out in Q4 as a result of two discontinued commercial projects. The reduced order intake was mainly due to market challenges resulting from a decline in construction, primarily in the Residential and Logistics and Industry business areas.

The order backlog was SEK 3,790 million (6,195) as of 31 December. The decline is due to a decreased order intake. Approximately half of the order backlog is related to the Logistics and Industry business area.

COMMENTS ON THE BALANCE SHEET AND EQUITY JANUARY–DECEMBER

The size of the group's balance sheet and debt ratio varies over time, primarily in relation to the number of self-developed projects in production and the degree of external financing.

FIXED ASSETS

The company does not tie up capital in equipment since most of the machinery and tools needed for the company's building production are supplied by subcontractors. The increase in Right-of-use assets is primarily attributable to the company's signing of new contracts for office premises earlier this year. Equipment primarily relates to completed investment in the company's own wind power plants, as well as conversion of and equipment for the new premises.

SELF-DEVELOPED PROPERTIES, ETC.

The Self-developed properties item includes completed properties and acquired unsold apartments in completed self-developed tenant-ownership projects. These are earmarked for sale and are only intended as short-term holdings. Revenues and operating costs for these properties are recognised under Other operating revenues and Other operating expenditures.

Two self-developed logistics facilities were divested earlier in the year. Following the divestments, the item comprises unsold apartments in five completed tenant-ownership projects and a completed and fully rented out commercial property. The value of the apartments at the end of the year amounted to SEK 513 million (0), of which SEK 460 million refers to acquisitions made during Q4.

DEVELOPMENT PROPERTIES ETC.

The Development properties item primarily includes raw land and properties for future development, as well as self-developed projects under design and construction. In April, a forward commitment contract was signed for the sale of a large logistics project in Norway. This resulted in a decline in the Development expenses item during the year.

OTHER RECEIVABLES

The Other receivables item reports on shares and on receivables in other shareholdings that are intended as short-term holdings, where start of production has been deferred due to current market conditions.

This item also includes ongoing projects with forward commitment contracts until possession takes place. The item therefore varies over time.

FINANCING

An outstanding, unsecured green bond matured and was redeemed in October. SEK 100 million of the bond had previously been amortised. A new secured green bond worth SEK 400 million maturing in September 2027 was successfully issued in September. The bond is subject to a variable interest rate of 3 months STIBOR plus 6.25 percentage points per year, and was issued at par. To meet the three covenants associated with the bond, the company must have an equity ratio of at least 25 percent based on the segment reporting, a loan-to-value ratio of at least 65 percent, and sufficient available funds to cover interest expenses for at least two quarters.

Property loans on completed self-developed properties are recognised as current liabilities to credit institutions. The divestment of two logistics facilities during the year caused this item to decrease.

EQUITY RATIO AND RETURN ON EQUITY

Despite the profit picture having been challenging for a long time, the company's financial position remains strong, although the equity ratio decreased slightly. The equity ratio was 31 percent (36) at the year end. Equity per share amounted to SEK 30.51 (40.30) at year end and the company's interest-bearing net cash was SEK -438 million (-48).

When Rekab Entreprenad was acquired in 2021, the purchase consideration was paid, in part, through consideration shares. Half of the consideration was paid in 2022. Final settlement was made to Rekab Entreprenad's former holding company in Q4 2024, in accordance with the agreement. The final settlement mainly consisted of Wästbygg Group shares which had been bought back in 2022, so it did not significantly affect the financial reports.

COMMENTS ON CASH FLOW JANUARY–DECEMBER

Variations in cash flow from one period to another are a natural consequence of the number of development projects in progress and the number of projects sold. Ongoing self-developed projects have been self-funded to a relatively large extent in recent years but the company is now in a phase where investment in new self-developed projects has decreased.

Total cash flow for 2024 amounted to SEK 2 million (-276) divided into current operations SEK 107 million (-204), investment operations SEK -72 million (-39) and financing operations SEK -33 million (-33).

CASH FLOW FROM CURRENT OPERATIONS

Despite the company's negative earnings, cash flow from current operations was positive. The company actively worked on divesting assets during the year. Cash flow was positively impacted by the sale of two self-developed logistics facilities and a commercial property, and by the sale of apartments acquired by the company after the completion of self-developed tenant-ownership projects.

CASH FLOW FROM INVESTMENT OPERATIONS

During the year, the company continued to invest in the two wind power plants that were completed in the latter part of the year, and in the company's own office premises.

CASH FLOW FROM FINANCING OPERATIONS

The company's previous unsecured green bond was redeemed in its entirety in October. A new secured green bond worth SEK 400 million maturing in September 2027 was issued in September.

LIQUIDITY

As per 31 December, the group's available liquidity amounted to SEK 302 million (424), including unused bank overdraft facilities of SEK 125 million (250). The company's bank overdraft facilities were reduced from SEK 150 million to SEK 125 million on 1 October. The Board of Directors assesses that the company has the necessary funding for the next twelve months to fulfill its future commitments. An ongoing review is made of additional financing opportunities to strengthen liquidity, among other things, a new issue of shares in the beginning of 2025.

COMMENTS ON THE INCOME STATEMENT JANUARY–DECEMBER

OPERATING PROFIT

Revenues for 2024 amounted to SEK 4,989 million (4,991). Two large self-developed tenant-ownership projects were handed over and recognised in the income statement during the year, compared to five the previous year, two of which were relatively small. This means that revenue for the year was on a par with the previous year, despite negative impact from the company's reduced order intake and a consequent decline in production volume.

Operating profit stood at SEK -216 million (-361). During the year, profit was impacted by restructuring costs of approximately SEK 25 million as a result of the staff cutbacks implemented. In addition, some projects have been facing cost challenges throughout the year, resulting in the write-down of profits. Based on the current residential market situation, tenant-owned apartments acquired in self-developed residential projects were also devalued to their net realisable value, which affected Other operating expenditures. The effect of write-downs in the projects and of the company's assets totalled approximately SEK 340 million. Operating profit was also impacted by deferred start-up of projects in the Logistics and Industry business area early in the year, and by the completed sale of a logistics facility. Rental revenues for properties that are or have previously been part of the company's inventory and other accrued contract revenues are recognised under Other operating revenues.

PROFIT FOR THE YEAR

Profit after tax was SEK -213 million (-369), equivalent to earnings per share of SEK -6.56 (-11.40). The operating margin was -4.3 percent (-7.2). The Profit from other shareholdings item primarily regards a loss on the sale of a commercial property. During Q4, a divestment agreement was signed for a self-developed investment property. The property has been written down to book value, which has affected the item Change in value of properties. The buyer took possession of the property in January.

Positive tax was reported for the period, due to a negative tax result as well as non-taxable revenues. Deferred tax relating to deductible temporary differences and loss carry-back is only reported if it is likely that these can be used. During the year, SEK 64 million has been capitalised in relation to the tax deficit.

ORDER INTAKE AND ORDER BACKLOG

The Wästbygg Group's order intake for 2024 was SEK 2,085 million (5,514). Write-downs totalling SEK 61 million of the order intake were carried out in Q4 as a result of two discontinued commercial projects. The reduced order intake was mainly due to market challenges resulting from a decline in construction, primarily in the Residential and Logistics and Industry business areas.

The order backlog was SEK 3,790 million (6,195) as of 31 December. The decline is due to a decreased order intake. Approximately half of the order backlog is related to the Logistics and Industry business area.

COMMENTS ON THE BALANCE SHEET AND EQUITY JANUARY–DECEMBER

The size of the group's balance sheet and debt ratio varies over time, primarily in relation to the number of self-developed projects in production and the degree of external financing.

FIXED ASSETS

The company does not tie up capital in equipment since most of the machinery and tools needed for the company's building production are supplied by subcontractors. The increase in Right-of-use assets is primarily attributable to the company's signing of new contracts for office premises earlier this year. Equipment primarily relates to completed investment in the company's own wind power plants, as well as conversion of and equipment for the new premises.

SELF-DEVELOPED PROPERTIES, ETC.

The Self-developed properties item includes completed properties and acquired unsold apartments in completed self-developed tenant-ownership projects. These are earmarked for sale and are only intended as short-term holdings. Revenues and operating costs for these properties are recognised under Other operating revenues and Other operating expenditures.

Two self-developed logistics facilities were divested earlier in the year. Following the divestments, the item comprises unsold apartments in five completed tenant-ownership projects and a completed and fully rented out commercial property. The value of the apartments at the end of the year amounted to SEK 513 million (0), of which SEK 460 million refers to acquisitions made during Q4.

DEVELOPMENT PROPERTIES ETC.

The Development properties item primarily includes raw land and properties for future development, as well as self-developed projects under design and construction. In April, a forward commitment contract was signed for the sale of a large logistics project in Norway. This resulted in a decline in the Development expenses item during the year.

SELF-DEVELOPED TENANT-OWNERSHIP PROJECTS UNDER PRODUCTION

The Self-developed tenant-ownership projects under production item includes properties, either undeveloped or under construction, earmarked for the production of tenant-ownership projects. Because of current conditions in the residential market, start-up of new projects has been deferred.

FINANCING

Self-developed tenant-ownership projects under production are partially financed through construction credit during the term of each project. These are recognised as current liabilities. When the control is transferred to the tenant-owner association upon completion, they are no longer reported as liabilities in the balance sheet. Two major tenant-ownership projects became ready for occupancy during the year, which resulted in a significant reduction in this item.

An outstanding, unsecured green bond matured and was redeemed in October. SEK 100 million of the bond had previously been amortised. A new secured green bond worth SEK 400 million maturing in September 2027 was successfully issued in September. The bond is subject to a variable interest rate of 3 months STIBOR plus 6.25 percentage points per year, and was issued at par. To meet the three covenants associated with the bond, the company must have an equity ratio of at least 25 percent based on the segment reporting, a loan-to-value ratio of at least 65 percent, and sufficient available funds to cover interest expenses for at least two quarters.

Property loans on completed self-developed properties are recognised as current liabilities to credit institutions. The divestment of two logistics facilities earlier this year caused this item to decrease.

EQUITY RATIO AND RETURN ON EQUITY

Despite the profit picture having been challenging for a long time, the company's financial position remains strong. The equity ratio improved slightly in Q4 due to the completion and handover of a tenant-ownership project, and was 30 percent (29) at the end of the year.

Equity per share amounted to SEK 29.80 (36.38) at the end of the period and the company's interest-bearing net cash was SEK -526 million (-1,126).

When Rekab Entreprenad was acquired in 2021, the purchase consideration was paid, in part, through consideration shares. Half of the consideration was paid in 2022. Final settlement was made to Rekab Entreprenad's former holding company in Q4 2024, in accordance with the agreement. The final settlement mainly consisted of Wästbygg Group shares which had been bought back in 2022, so it did not significantly affect the financial reports.

COMMENTS ON CASH FLOW JANUARY–DECEMBER

Variations in cash flow from one period to another are a natural consequence of the number of development projects in progress and the number of projects sold. Ongoing self-developed projects have been self-funded to a relatively large extent in recent years but the company is now in a phase where investment in new self-developed projects has decreased.

Total cash flow for the period amounted to SEK -16 million (-341) divided into current operations SEK 88 million (-717), investment operations SEK -69 million (-36) and financing operations SEK -35 million (412).

CASH FLOW FROM CURRENT OPERATIONS

Despite the company's negative earnings, cash flow from current operations was positive. The company actively worked on divesting assets during the year. Cash flow was positively impacted by the sale of two self-developed logistics facilities and a commercial property, and by the sale of apartments acquired by the company after the completion of self-developed tenant-ownership projects.

CASH FLOW FROM INVESTMENT OPERATIONS

During the year, the company continued to invest in the two wind power plants that were completed in the latter part of the year, and in the company's own office premises.

CASH FLOW FROM FINANCING OPERATIONS

The company's previous unsecured green bond was redeemed in its entirety in October. A new secured green bond worth SEK 400 million maturing in September 2027 was issued in September.

LIQUIDITY

As per 31 December, the group's available liquidity amounted to SEK 303 million (444), including unused bank overdraft facilities of SEK 125 million (250). The company's bank overdraft facilities were reduced from SEK 150 million to SEK 125 million on 1 October. The Board of Directors assesses that the company has the necessary funding for the next twelve months to fulfill its future commitments. An ongoing review is made of additional financing opportunities to strengthen liquidity, among other things, a new issue of shares in the beginning of 2025.

Note 4. Personnel

At the end of the year there were 496 employees in the Wästbygg Group, compared with 559 at the start of the year. Due to long-standing challenges in the construction market, including weak order intakes and inadequate project profitability, cutbacks were carried out in the organisation in both 2023 and 2024. The redundancies announced in 2024 resulted in approximately 50 positions being terminated after union negotiations ended in September. Other cost-cutting measures were also decided on, including the closure of the company's offices in Solna and Copenhagen.

Costs relating to the restructuring were recognised in Q3. However, these measures will not gain full impact until 2025, as some of the contracts will continue into next year to ensure the quality of the handover of ongoing projects. Further staff cutbacks will take place in Q1 2025, for which the relevant union negotiations have not yet been completed.

Note 5. Disputes

The group has discussions or disputes with customers and partners from time to time regarding commercial terms and conditions. In exceptional cases, this takes place through arbitration or other legal proceedings. In some cases, they are evaluated by external legal advisers in consultation with internal resources. While the report reflects the best combined forecasts available, actual outcomes may deviate from predicted ones, since some of the assessments made are complex.

The Wästbygg Group is currently engaged in a dispute with a former client. The dispute is under arbitration, and the financial risk will be continuously assessed before the end of each quarter. Provisions have been made which the company deems to be sufficient to cover any potential costs of the dispute.

Note 6. Risks and uncertainty factors

The group is continuously working on assessing and managing risks and uncertainty factors, and places strong focus on various vulnerability reduction measures. The group's risks may primarily be related to three areas: external environment risks, operational project and contract risks including sustainability risks, and financial risks. A more comprehensive risk analysis can be found in the company's annual report for 2023 on pages 55–63. No significant changes took place that have changed these reported risks. We are closely monitoring the macroeconomic situation to minimise negative impact to the company.

There are several uncertainty factors in the external environment that are negatively impacting both the construction industry and the general economy, primarily Russia's invasion of Ukraine and the uncertain situation in the Middle East.

The current uncertainty in the financial market and inflation reduction measures are generally resulting in reduced access to capital in the market and increased credit costs, as well as causing our clients to take a more cautious approach. Regarding the construction industry, the slumping economy has also resulted in a number of subcontractor bankruptcies, which has already impacted the Wästbygg Group. Profit write-downs were carried out in a small number of the group's projects during the year. This

was due to unforeseen cost increases, for instance as a result of bankruptcies. The projects concerned were undertaken under previous market conditions, and were either completed in 2024 or will be completed in early 2025. For new project contracts signed in 2024, risk assessments were carried out during the calculation phase, taking in to account current market conditions. Further assessments will be carried out regularly to ensure timely identification of risk factors.

The financial risks are primarily related to the company's capital requirements, capital tie-up and financing. During October, financing risk was reduced as the bond loan was amortised in full and replaced by a new secured bond maturing in September 2027. The company has also fulfilled its commitment to acquire apartments in the final two self developed residential projects that have now been completed. There is a residual risk regarding the possibility of selling acquired apartments and being able to do so at book value. This risk is included in the company's continuous risk assessment.

Due to the current market situation, at the end of the period there was a risk in the company's obligations with regard to amortisation of the bond loan, as well as to the acquisition of tenant-ownership association apartments in self-developed projects that remained unsold at the end of the project. In October, the bond loan was amortised in its entirety and replaced by a new secured bond which matures in September 2027, and unsold apartments in the last two tenant-ownership projects that are still ongoing have been acquired. There remains a risk regarding the possibility of selling acquired apartments, and of doing so at the agreed price. This risk is included in the company's ongoing risk assessment.

During the year, the company lowered its debt ratio and divested several properties. Great focus has also been placed on the management and follow-up of the projects, risk management and adaptation of operations and organisation according to the estimated order volume going forward.

In connection with each report, an assessment is carried out to ascertain whether there is indication of a decrease in the value of the group's assets. If there is, the recovery value of the assets is established to estimate the potential value decrease; see notes 1, 2 and 14 in the annual report. The recovery value is calculated based on individually estimated cash flows for the next five years according to the budget and business plan, and thereafter with a general perpetuity growth rate of two percent per year. The discount factor used to calculate the net present value of the expected future cash flows is the weighted average cost of capital (WACC) as established by the group. The WACC amounts to 10–13 percent depending on the segment. According to a sensitivity analysis on the WACC of +2 units, there is no requirement for a write-down.

Deferred tax relating to deductible temporary differences and loss carry-back is only reported if it is likely that these can be used. Taking into account the structural review that is underway in the company, the deficits will be gradually used in the future.
