SIGNIFICANT EVENTS IN THE SECOND QUARTER

  • The group company Logistic Contractor signed a contract with Niam on 16 April, under which Niam acquired a logistics facility under construction in Norway. The agreed property value is NOK 1,450 million. The transaction was carried out as a forward commitment, but Niam will make advance payments during the production period. Niam will take possession of the property on its completion in the summer of 2025.
  • The Wästbygg Group's management team has undergone restructuring. Robin Sundin, formerly Chief Legal Officer and Head of Investor Relations, has been appointed Chief Operating Officer with responsibility for the group's support and staff functions, including his previous areas of responsibility. With this change, which came into effect as of 1 June 2024, the group management team was reduced from 10 to 7 members and now consists of Jonas Jönehall, CEO, Robin Sundin, COO, Peter Bryng, interim CFO, Malin Bjurström, Head of HR, Joakim Efraimsson, CEO Wästbygg AB, Anton Johansson, CEO Rekab Entreprenad AB, and Magnus Björkander, Business Development Manager Wästbygg AB. As soon as a new CEO has been appointed to Logistic Contractor, that person will also join the management team.

SIGNIFICANT EVENTS AFTER THE BALANCE SHEET DATE

  • As part of a programme of initiatives to restore profitability to the Wästbygg Group, which was published on 22 August, the group plans for staff reductions affecting approximately 65 people. Negotiations with the trade unions will start immediately. Costs related to the restructuring will be charged to Q3 2023.
  • Lars Just was recruited as the Wästbygg Group's new CFO. He will assume his new position by the turn of the year at latest, and will then also join the group management team. Interim CFO Peter Bryng will remain at the company until the transition has taken place.

The segment reporting is prepared for the group's operating segments and is based on the way in which the board and group management control and monitor the operations. See note 2 on page 27 for further information.

FOCUS ON ADAPTATION OF OPERATIONS AND STREAMLINING OF OFFERING

The market situation for the construction sector remained challenging in the first half of the year, and unfortunately seems unlikely to improve in the near future. We have already taken various measures to adapt our operations to the current situation. However, a combined assessment of the order intake for the first half of the year shows that further action is crucial to prepare for the reduced production volumes we anticipate in financial year 2025.

Due to the current situation, we now need to make further staff cutbacks. Needless to say, we regret this, but unfortunately it is necessary. In addition to generally reducing the workforce in our group companies, we will also take two more comprehensive measures by closing our offices in Stockholm and Denmark. Ongoing projects and the existing development portfolio in these markets will be managed by other parts of the organisation. These measures are being taken to enable us to focus even more on those geographic markets where we see potential for continued positive growth. We are also reviewing our central functions with the aim of adapting to expected future order volumes, both in organisational and overall cost terms.

GREEN TRANSITION CREATES NEW FUTURE OPPORTUNITIES

We are seeing positive signals in the Logistics and Industry business area, primarily on the industrial side. The green

transition with consequent industrial investments, backed by governmentlevel initiatives, may generate new project opportunities in the longer term. Our project for H2 Green Steel is still not up to full speed due to further planning delays. However, work is now under way, and we look forward to bringing the project to completion. In Norway, work is progressing as planned on the central warehouse we are building for Ahlsell, which is expected to be completed next summer.

SALES TO REDUCE DEBT RATIO

We divested further assets during the quarter, as part of overarching efforts to reduce our debt ratio. We have also noted an increase in the number of sold apartments in our ongoing self-developed tenantownership projects, despite the continued caution in the residential market. Reduced inflation and a downturn in interest rates will gradually benefit our entire business.

STRATEGIC COLLABORATIONS STRENGTHEN OUR OFFERING

Besides the further cost-cutting measures that we are now carrying out, we are working strategically with sales and marketing and on developing our products. Among other things we have signed agreements with new partners to find additional business opportunities. We are also focusing even more on the strategy that has been the key to our success over the years: building long-term partnerships in which, through earlystage project involvement, we help our customers achieve cost-effective solutions. Sweden's first socially sustainable rental apartment building, which we constructed for Stockholms Stadsmission, opened prior to the summer. It is a good example of a strategic deal in which our offering and competitiveness are comprised of the group's collective skills and expertise in project development and construction.

I remain firmly convinced that our long-term strategy, with activities in the three business areas central to our operations, will generate strong profitability and healthy growth over time. At the same time, it is my hope that all of us working in the construction industry kan increase our collaboration to get more building projects started again. This will benefit all of us as well as society at large.

GENERAL MARKET SITUATION

SUMMARY

Swedish economic growth is expected to be very limited this year, with the combined forecasts suggesting a 0.5 percent rise in GNP. In addition to the current high cost situation, the National Institute of Economic Research's Economic Tendency Survey continues to indicate a weak economic climate, although the climate has become more buoyant on a wide front in the last six months. Unemployment, which began rising in 2023, is expected to climb significantly this year, which is squeezing consumption while residential construction remains dampened. Gross investment will likely decline further this year, while investments in machinery and construction will see negative growth. Growth in both public and household consumption looks likely to be weak.

Swedish economic growth is expected to remain negative for most of next year. However, the situation could start to improve, provided inflation continues to drop, the Riksbank's rate reductions do not slow down and fiscal policy becomes more expansive. CPIF was 1.7 percent in July, compared to 3.3 percent in January, and thus fell short of the Riksbank's 2.0 percent target.

Total building construction investment is expected to continue declining this year, albeit more slowly than in 2023. According to Navet Analytics' overall assessment, the decline will bottom out at approximately 5 percent. All sectors of the construction market are negatively impacted by the higher cost situation, restrictive banks and weak demand. The residential sector is expected to continue weighing on the market, while growth in public building construction investment also looks set to remain negative this year.

Navet Analytics forecasts annual growth of 5 percent in total building construction investment for 2025 and 2026.

Total initiated building construction investment in the Wästbygg Group's three business areas in Q1 2024 was just under SEK 43 billion. This marks a decrease of just over 8 percent on the same period in 2023. This result is entirely in line with the forecast for the full financial year 2024. In light of this, only marginal adjustments will be made to the forecast for each business area, and the overall picture continues to suggest negative growth this year.

A total decline of 6 percent is expected for the three business areas in 2024. It is Logistics and Industry and the residential sector that are hampering growth this year, while growth in commercial buildings is expected to be zero. By 2025, the decline in the residential sector is expected to have turned around and the negative trend in Logistics and Industry to have flattened out. Meanwhile, a slight decline is expected in commercial buildings.

Navet Analytics has adjusted its forecast for 2025 in the Logistics and Industry business area from -7 to 0 percent, while forecasts for other business areas remain substantially unchanged. Forecasts for 2026 have also only changed marginally, and a more marked upswing is expected for the three business areas as a whole.

SUSTAINABLE BUSINESS

We take our mission as community builders very seriously. Within our area of activity, we want to contribute to a more sustainable society – ecologically, socially and economically.

Environmentally certified buildings are a way to safeguard the future. We have extensive experience in building according to the most common certification systems in the Swedish market: Miljöbyggnad, Nordic Ecolabel, Breeam and Green Building We hold a basic license for the Nordic Ecolabel, which facilitates certification of our self-developed properties with the Nordic Ecolabel.

Since the mid-1990s, we have focused on developing our quality and environmental management procedures. Today, we use a selfdeveloped management system with detailed procedures and schedules in the areas of quality, environmental care and occupational health and safety. Within the group, Wästbygg AB is certified according to ISO 9001, 14001 and 45001. Rekab Entreprenad and Logistic Contractor are both certified according to ISO 9001 and 14001.

Thanks to our green framework, which comprises both share and debt instruments, the Wästbygg Group is one of relatively few companies whose shares can be classified as green according to Nasdaq. This classification provides excellent acknowledgement of our sustainability efforts. The framework improves transparency around our sustainability efforts and 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.

  • and Industry.
  • Increased focus on community service properties.

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

WÄSTBYGG GROUP'S SHARES

BUSINESS AREAS, SUMMARY

The group's order intake for January–June was SEK 1,020 million (1,508). Contracts for new projects were predominantly signed in the Commercial business area, and primarily regarded community service properties with municipalities and municipal companies as clients. Activity remains relatively high in this market segment also at the start of Q3.

For Residential, the market continues to be slow, with relatively few projects being put out for tender. The same applies to the Swedish logistics market, although signs of increased activity can be seen in Norway and Finland.

The order backlog remains stable, amounting to SEK 4.999 million (4,566) as of 30 June. Due to Logistics and Industry's strong order intake at the end of last year, this business area represents 61 percent of the company's order backlog. A better balance is desirable in the longer term, not least in the Residential business area. While we see no opportunities for this in the current market, we are continuously evaluating our project portfolio in relation to demand.

Revenues for the period amounted to SEK 2,213 million (2,737). Residential and Logistics and Industry reported a decline in revenues year-on-year due to volume reduction, while Commercial grew slightly. For Logistics and Industry, revenues have been postponed due to projects progressing slower than planned. This is due to events beyond the company's control.

Operating profit stood at SEK -78 million (-239) due to reduced project volume and continued lacklustre margins. After monitoring market developments and concluding that no significant upturn will take place in the construction industry in the near future, we have decided to cut back our workforce during the autumn.

All amounts related to our business areas are given in SEK million unless otherwise stated.

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 municipal clients. The company also develops and constructs rental apartments and tenant-owned apartments.

The residential market has faced significant challenges both in 2023 and so far this year, which has caused residential construction to slump sharply throughout Sweden. Cautiously positive market signals, in response to reduced inflation and anticipation of further interest rate cuts, suggest that the trend may have bottomed out and could turn upwards again in 2025. However, it will take time for residential construction to return to a desirable level.

Operations in the Residential business area have developed in line with the national level. As of 30 June, 1,015 apartments were under production, which means that the production volume has halved in just over one year. The business area's order backlog stood at SEK 637 million (1,202) at the end of the period. The reduction in volume is also reflected in revenues, which stood at SEK 427 million (870). Profit stood at SEK -54 million (-73). Some of the projects in which we encountered financial challenges in 2023 are still in production, and these projects' margins will remain lower than originally calculated until they are completed and handed over during the autumn.

A large proportion of the ongoing residential projects will be completed before year end. Although a few new contracts have been signed in the past twelve months, the volume will decrease further during the coming quarters. Neither is it possible to capitalise on the company's large project portfolio at present, since the market climate does not allow for the start-up of additional self-developed residential projects. In light of this, it was decided at the beginning of Q3 that staff cutbacks would be made in the business area. The most significant measure will be to close down the company's Stockholm office, since the organisation there primarily deals with residential production. This measure regards employees in construction as well as project development. However, Mälardalen is an important market for the company, in which we will continue to operate through the Västerås office.

In Q2, we handed over two well executed residential projects, each of them unique in its own way, to highly satisfied clients. We have designed and built 37 socially sustainable flats in collaboration with Stockholms Stadsmission. Through working together from an early stage, the buildings have been optimised to achieve rental prices that enable people who were previously excluded from the housing market to obtain a lease of their own. The Sörsjön residential development comprising 144 apartments was completed for the municipal housing company Junehem. Sörsjön is first in

Sweden to introduce large-scale recycling of grey water, i.e. waste water from showers and kitchens, which is used for toilet flushing after being purified.

Another recent positive development is a tentative rise in appetite for home buying in our self-developed tenant-ownership projects, with 21 apartments sold in Q2. Most of these sales were in projects where building production is ongoing. The company will acquire unsold apartments in completed tenant-ownership projects in connection with handover, according to agreement with each individual tenant-owner association. Project-related profits regarding unsold apartments will subsequently be recognised as the apartments are sold.

CONTRACTS SIGNED DURING THE SECOND QUARTER

• A contract was signed with Vännäs Fastigheter for the construction of Kv Tränaren in Vännäs, comprising 23 rental apartments. The order value is SEK 34 million.

CONTRACTS SIGNED AFTER 30 JUNE

  • A contract was signed with the municipal housing company Lulebo in Luleå for the extensive renovation of a residential building with 36 flats. The order value is approximately SEK 50 million.
  • A centrally located plot in Malmö was acquired by Rikshem. There are plans to develop and build approximately 80 apartments on the plot. The purchase consideration was SEK 18 million.

COMMERCIAL

The Commercial business area primarily develops and builds community service properties, offices and retail properties. Contract assignments are predominately under production at present. Although the company's project portfolio is dominated by residential projects, it also includes many commercial development projects. One of these projects, the conversion of an office and warehouse building into school premises, is in progress, and another is expected to commence in the coming years.

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.

There is also some demand for small offices, production facilities and warehouses. On the other hand, demand for new retail buildings is extremely limited.

The company had an ongoing production volume of 131,000 sqm as per 30 June, compared to 120,000 sqm at the same time last year. The order intake for January–June was SEK 514 million (397). Meanwhile, a high level of implementation in ongoing projects resulted in a lower order backlog of SEK 1,288 million (1,870). Revenues for the period totalled SEK 939 million (916), but the business area reported negative earnings of SEK -46 million (-38).

A significant part of the negative earnings is attributable to further write-downs in an ongoing project for which the original contract was signed under conditions that differ from those prevailing today. The profit was also impacted by fruitless expenditure relating to aborted commercial development projects. Moreover, since the turn of the year, contracts have been signed for numerous new collaborative projects that, in their initial stage, only generate cost coverage for time expended. A contract was signed for one of these projects at the start of Q3.

The projects completed and handed over in Q2 include three large sports facilities: Iskristallen Arena in Borås, which has two ice rinks, Vikingahallen in Stockholm, which is tailored for team gymnastics, and Paradiset, a water park complex in Örnsköldsvik.

CONTRACTS SIGNED DURING THE SECOND QUARTER

  • A contract was signed for the sale of the properties Vile 3 and 4 in central Borås, where approximately 2,200 sqm of a total of 3,400 sqm are rented out. The agreed property value is SEK 82 million, and the buyer is a national operator. Possession of the properties took place on 15 August.
  • A contract was signed regarding a project covered by protective security requirements, with an order value of SEK 75 million.
  • A contract was signed with Novo Energy AB for the construction of four supplementary buildings for a production facility in Gothenburg. The order value is approximately SEK 50 million.
  • A contract was signed with Jokkmokk Municipality for the conversion and extension of a school in Voullerim. The order value is SEK 35 million.
  • A contract was signed with Slättö for the conversion of an elderly care home in Sundsvall. The order value is SEK 28 million.
  • A contract was signed with Nordmaling Municipality for new production of sheltered housing. The order value is SEK 21 million.

• Phase 1 cooperation agreements for planning and design were signed regarding the below projects. The estimated order value for all these agreements will only be included in the Wästbygg Group's order intake once a Phase 2 construction contract has been signed.

  • Conversion and extension of a school in Skellefteå. The client is Skellefteå Municipality. The estimated order value is SEK 150 million.

  • Reconstruction of two fire stations in Umeå. The client is Umeå Municipality. The estimated order value is SEK 75 million.

  • Conversion of premises for dialysis and outpatient care at Örnsköldsvik hospital. The client is Region Västernorrland. The estimated order value is SEK 30 million.

CONTRACTS SIGNED AFTER 30 JUNE

  • After completion of Phase 1, a contract was signed with Skellefteå Municipality for the conversion and extension of a school, covering a total area of 8,000 sqm. The order value is SEK 179 million.
  • A contract was signed with Lunds Kommuns Parkerings AB for the construction of a multi-storey car park with space for 265 vehicles. The order value is SEK 59 million.

QUARTERLY OVERVIEW

KEY RATIOS AND DEFINITIONS 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.

LOGISTICS AND INDUSTRY

The Swedish logistics market is less strong than previously. Investors are showing caution, and today's market has a relatively large supply of 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 Norway and Finland, we have recently seen cautiously positive signs of increased activity in their respective markets.

On the industrial side, it is primarily in northern Sweden that the market is being cultivated. Discussions are under way with several major players in that region. However, these only regard large projects with a timeline of several years.

The market's sluggishness is reflected in the order intake for the business area. The order intake since the start of the year is SEK 309 million (895). This includes supplementary orders in ongoing projects, as well as recognised earnings from the contract with Niam for the sale of an ongoing development project in Norway. Ahlsell will be the future tenant of the property. No major new contracts were signed. The order backlog was SEK 3,073 million (1,494) as per 30 June.

Revenues for January–June were SEK 847 million (948), and after several quarters with negative figures, the business area reported profit of SEK 37 million (-115) for the period, of which SEK 51 million was attributable to Q2. However, the profit is hampered by cost hikes in a few projects after a major groundwork contractor went bankrupt early in the year. One of these projects has not yet been finally settled. Both revenue and profit were impacted by delayed project start-ups regarding the contracts at H2 Green Steel in Boden and Ahlsell in Norway. Both contracts have now been under way for several months, although work at the Boden site is progressing more slowly than planned, and is expected to do so for some time to come.

Despite there being a large volume in the business area, this volume is related to significantly fewer ongoing projects than in previous years. For this reason, staff cutbacks will be necessary in Q3. The organisation in Sweden is dimensioned to handle a larger number of parallel projects than are in the pipeline at present and for the foreseeable future, so cutbacks are being made generally throughout the company. A decision has also been taken to terminate Logistic Contractor's office in Denmark, as our current presence in the Danish market does not justify a local organisation. The Danish market will instead be handled via LC's other Nordic organisation. No changes will take place in Norway or Finland.

CONTRACTS SIGNED DURING THE SECOND QUARTER

  • A contract was signed with Niam for the acquisition of a property currently under production in Eidsvoll in Norway. The agreed property value is NOK 1,450 million. This is a forward commitment contract, but Niam will make parts of the payment in advance during the production phase. Niam will take possession of the property on its completion in the summer of 2025.
  • A contract was signed with SLP (Swedish Logistic Property), under which SLP acquired a completed and fully rented out 24,000 sqm logistics facility in Ulricehamn. The sale was carried out as a corporate transaction with a nominal property value of SEK 204 million. SLP took possession of the property on 28 June.
  • A contract was signed with Mathem for a minor conversion and extension of their facility in Stockholm, which Logistic Contractor built in 2022–2023. The contract will be carried out according to the prime cost principle.

CONTRACTS SIGNED AFTER 30 JUNE

No new contracts were signed after the balance sheet date.

ORDER INTAKE AND ORDER BACKLOG

The company's order intake in the first half of the year was SEK 1,020 million (1,508). The residential market remains challenging, and the market in Logistics and industry has also slowed down. There are still a relatively large number of projects coming to market in the Commercial business area, not least community service properties, but most of them have an order value below SEK 100 million.

In addition to the reported order intake, Phase 1 contracts were signed with a total estimated order value of SEK 460 million. These will only be included in the order intake and order backlog once Phase 2 construction contracts have been signed.

The order backlog as per 30 June was higher year-on-year, standing at SEK 4,999 million (4,566). The difference is partly attributable to the sizeable contracts with H2 Green Steel and Ahlsell Norway signed in autumn 2023.

COMMENTS ON THE BALANCE SHEET AND EQUITY JANUARY–JUNE

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 User right assets is primarily attributable to the company having signed new contracts for offices in Gothenburg and Stockholm. Equipment primarily relates to ongoing investment in the company's own wind power plants as well as conversion, and to equipment in the new premises.

SELF-DEVELOPED PROPERTIES, ETC

The Self-developed properties item includes completed properties and 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 revenues and Other expenditures.

Two self-developed logistics facilities were divested during the period. These transactions were carried out as corporate sales. Following these sales, the item will only comprise unsold apartments in three completed tenant-ownership projects.

DEVELOPMENT PROPERTIES ETC.

development, as well as self-developed projects under construction. In April, a forward commitment contract was signed for the sale of a large logistics project in Norway. This means that the project will no longer be classified as a development property, but will gradually be recognised as income until possession takes place in summer 2025.

OTHER RECEIVABLES

The Other receivables item reports on shares and receivables in other shareholdings intended as short-term holdings, as well as ongoing projects with forward commitment contracts until possession takes place. The item therefore varies over time.

FINANCING

Non-current liabilities primarily regard loans in fixed assets. Property loans on completed self-developed properties are recognised as current liabilities. The divestment of two logistics facilities during the period caused this item to decrease.

Senior unsecured green bonds of SEK 500 million were issued on 23 November 2021. The bond matures in November 2024, so is now recognised as a short-term bond. SEK 50 million was amortised in December 2023, and a further SEK 50 million was amortised in January this year according to the terms agreed with the bondholders.

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 was 32 percent (35) at the end of the period. The equity ratio was 36 percent on 1 January. Accounts receivable increased in Q2 due to invoices relating to the major ongoing Logistics and Industry projects. This increases the balance sheet total, which negatively impacts the equity ratio.

Equity per share amounted to SEK 38.29 (48.70) at the end of the period and the company's interest-bearing net cash was SEK 150 million (150).

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 and the next payment will be made in October 2024 in accordance with the contract. In 2022, Wästbygg bought back a sufficient number of its own shares to cover most of the outstanding settlement to Rekab Entreprenad's former holding company.

COMMENTS ON CASH FLOW JANUARY–JUNE

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 is decreasing. Total cash flow for the period amounted to SEK -20 million (-277) divided into current operations SEK 49 million (-432), investment operations SEK -55 million (-11) and financing operations SEK -14 million (166).

CASH FLOW FROM CURRENT OPERATIONS

Cash flow from current operations was positively impacted by the sale of two self-developed logistics facilities, of which each of the buyers took possession during the period. It was also affected by the purchase of unsold apartments in completed self-developed tenant-ownership projects.

CASH FLOW FROM INVESTMENT OPERATIONS

During the period, the company continued to invest in the two wind power plants currently under construction, and in new premises in Gothenburg and Stockholm.

CASH FLOW FROM FINANCING OPERATIONS

Financing operations were affected by the amortisation of SEK 50 million on the company's green bond. The company's check credit was also partly utilised.

LIQUIDITY

As per 30 June, the group's available liquidity amounted to SEK 286 million (424), including unused bank overdraft facilities of SEK 131 million (250). The company has adequate financing to meet its future obligations.

COMMENTS ON THE INCOME STATEMENT JANUARY–JUNE

OPERATING PROFIT

Revenues for the period amounted to SEK 2,114 million (2,692). 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 as early this year as was planned. Both these projects have now been in production for several months, although one is progressing slower than had been planned for.

Two self-developed tenant-ownership projects were handed over and recognised in the income statement in the same period last year, but none have been completed so far this year. On the other hand, two are in production, which means that both revenue and profit will be held back until their completion later this year.

Operating profit stood at SEK -69 million (-199). In addition to the delayed project start-ups and reduced volumes, some projects in their final phase are still facing cost challenges, which has resulted in the write-down of profits. Moreover, operating profit was negatively impacted by the sale of a logistics facility.

Other revenues primarily relate to rental income from two logistics facilities that were previously part of the company's inventory. Both have now been divested, and each of the buyers took possession of the relevant property during the period.

PROFIT FOR THE PERIOD

Profit after tax was SEK -69 million (-185), equivalent to earnings per share of SEK -2.14 (-5.71). The operating margin was -3.3 percent (-7.4). The Profit from other shareholdings item relates to write-downs of commercial development projects that will not be implemented and where property sale contracts have been entered into. The buyer has taken possession of the properties after the balance sheet day. Positive tax was reported for Q1, due to a negative tax result as well as non-taxable revenues. The item also includes deferred tax.

ORDER INTAKE AND ORDER BACKLOG

The company's order intake in the first half of the year was SEK 1,020 million (1,508). The residential market remains challenging, and the market in Logistics and industry has also slowed down. There are still a relatively large number of projects coming to market in the Commercial business area, not least community service properties, but most of them have an order value below SEK 100 million.

In addition to the reported order intake, Phase 1 contracts were signed with a total estimated order value of SEK 460 million. These will only be included in the order intake and order backlog once Phase 2 construction contracts have been signed.

The order backlog as per 30 June was higher year-on-year, standing at SEK 4,999 million (4,566). The difference is partly attributable to the sizeable contracts with H2 Green Steel and Ahlsell Norway signed in autumn 2023.

COMMENTS ON THE BALANCE SHEET AND EQUITY JANUARY–JUNE

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 User right assets is primarily attributable to the company having signed new contracts for offices in Gothenburg and Stockholm. Equipment primarily relates to ongoing investment in the company's own wind power plants as well as conversion, and to equipment in the new premises.

SELF-DEVELOPED PROPERTIES, ETC.

The Self-developed properties item includes completed properties and 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 revenues and Other expenditures.

Two self-developed logistics facilities were divested during the period. These transactions were carried out as corporate sales. Following these sales, the item will only comprise unsold apartments in three completed tenant-ownership projects.

DEVELOPMENT PROPERTIES ETC.

The Development properties item primarily includes raw land and properties for future development, as well as self-developed projects under construction. In April, a forward commitment contract was signed for the sale of a large logistics project in Norway. This means that the project will no longer be classified as a development property, but will gradually be recognised as income until possession takes place in summer 2025.

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.

This item is mainly comprised of two major tenant-ownership projects, both of which will be completed in autumn 2024.

FINANCING

Non-current liabilities primarily regard loans in fixed assets.

Self-developed tenant ownership projects under production are partially financed by construction credits during the duration of each project. These are reported 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.

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

Senior unsecured green bonds of SEK 500 million were issued on 23 November 2021. The bond matures in November 2024, so is now recognised as a short-term bond. SEK 50 million was amortised in December 2023, and a further SEK 50 million was amortised in January this year according to the terms agreed with the bondholders.

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 was 25 percent (28) at the end of the period. The equity ratio was 29 percent on 1 January. Accounts receivable increased in Q2 due to invoices relating to the major ongoing Logistics and Industry projects. This increased the balance sheet total, which negatively impacted the equity ratio. Two ongoing tenant-ownership projects will be completed and handed over in the autumn, which will improve the company's equity ratio after final payment has been made.

Equity per share amounted to SEK 34.26 (41.82) at the end of the period and the company's interest-bearing net cash was SEK -1,108 million (-1,176).

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 and the next payment will be made in October 2024 in accordance with the contract. In 2022, Wästbygg bought back a sufficient number of its own shares to cover most of the outstanding settlement to Rekab Entreprenad's former holding company.

COMMENTS ON CASH FLOW JANUARY–JUNE

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 is decreasing. Total cash flow for the period amounted to SEK 6 million (-335) divided

into current operations SEK -60 million (-799), investment operations SEK -54 million (-10) and financing operations SEK 120 million (474).

CASH FLOW FROM CURRENT OPERATIONS

During the period, the company has continued its investments in two ongoing tenant-ownership projects. Cash flow from current operations was positively impacted by the sale of two self-developed logistics facilities, of which each of the buyers took possession during the period. It was also affected by the purchase of unsold apartments in completed self-developed tenant-ownership projects.

CASH FLOW FROM INVESTMENT OPERATIONS

During the period, the company continued to invest in the two wind power plants currently under construction, and in new premises in Gothenburg and Stockholm.

CASH FLOW FROM FINANCING OPERATIONS

Financing operations were affected by the amortisation of SEK 50 million on the company's green bond. In addition, there has been further utilisation of construction credits in ongoing tenant-ownership projects. The company's check credit was also partly utilised.

LIQUIDITY

As per 30 June, the group's available liquidity amounted to SEK 331 million (451), including unused bank overdraft facilities of SEK 131 million (250). The company has adequate financing to meet its future obligations.

1 Distribution by geographic market is reported under section Logistics and industry on page 14. Only Logistics and industry have operations abroad.

2 Segment Other consists of the parent company's operations and contains only internally invoiced revenue. As a result, the operating margin for Other is not reported. The parent company's operations consist of support functions for the segments in the form of departments for Finance, HR, Risk, quality and HSE, Sustainability, IT, Communications, Investor relations, Development and innovation and group management.

The transfer pricing between the operating segments takes place on market terms. Financial items and taxes are not distributed by segment, nor are they followed up by the highest executive decision-makers, which is why they have been excluded from the table above. The equivalent also applies to assets and liabilities.

WÄSTBYGG GROUP'S SHARES

Note 3. Personnel

At the end of the period there were 530 employees in the Wästbygg Group, compared with 595 at the same time the year before. The difference is primarily due to the termination of approximately 70 positions in the company, of which notice was given in May 2023. Due to the persistently challenging construction market, with weak order intakes and inadequate project profitability, a further 65 employees received notice of termination in August 2024.

Costs relating to the restructuring will be recognised in Q3. However, these measures will probably not gain full impact until 2025, by which time the related organisational change should have been implemented.

Note 4. Disputes

The group has discussions or disputes with customers or partners from time to time about commercial terms. In exceptional cases, this takes place in an arbitration or other legal instance. In some cases, they are evaluated by external legal representatives in consultation with internal resources. The report reflects at all times the best overall assessment that has been made, but actual outcomes may deviate as in some cases these are complex assessments.

Note 5. 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.

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.

The financial risks are primarily related to the company's capital requirements, capital tie-up and financing. Due to the current market situation, there is an increased risk in the company's future 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 remain unsold at the end of the project. Both these obligations are included in the company's ongoing risk assessment, and there is currently adequate financing to cover these risks.

We are closely monitoring the macroeconomic situation to minimise negative impact to the company.

Note 6. Parent company and other group items

The parent company's intra-group revenues for Q2 amounted to SEK 26 million (29) and the profit after net financial items was SEK -41 million (-1). Profit was impacted by write-downs of shares in subsidiaries by SEK 43 million.

Note 7. Transactions with related companies

The Wästbygg Group's largest shareholder is M2 Holding AB, which is owned and controlled by Rutger Arnhult, who is also a Board member of that company. The M2 Group owns a majority of the Wästbygg Group's share capital, but controls less than 50 percent of votes in the company.

The M2 Group has significant direct and indirect ownership interests in Corem Property Group AB, which is part of the group of related companies but is not a group company connected with the Wästbygg Group.

The Wästbygg Group carries out contract assignments in competition for Corem Property Group and M2.

Revenue accrued in current projects is shown in the table below. As of 30 June 2024, other transactions with related parties comprised rental costs of SEK 2 million (2), accounts receivable of SEK 19 million (7), other receivables of SEK 13 million (13) and financial liabilities in the form of accounts payable of SEK 1 million (1).

Note 8. Financial instruments

The Group's financial instruments essentially consist of financial assets and financial liabilities that are valued at accrued acquisition value. Financial instruments that are valued at fair value consist of currency futures and contingent purchase consideration, which amount to insignificant amounts. Further information can be found in the group's annual report for 2023 in Note 1 Accounting Principles and Note 29 Financial Risk Management and Financial Instruments.
