SIGNIFICANT EVENTS IN THE FIRST QUARTER

  • In accordance with the change in the terms of the company's green bond adopted in 2023, SEK 50 million was amortised on 10 January. The condition to amortise SEK 100 million by the end of Q1 2024 has thus been met.
  • In March, the Wästbygg Group's CFO Jessica Gårdmo and Logistic Contractor's CEO Benn Karlberg stepped down from their respective positions and left the group management team. Peter Bryng has been appointed interim CFO and joined the group management team, and CEO Jonas Jönehall will be Logistic Contractor's acting CEO until further notice.

SIGNIFICANT EVENTS AFTER THE BALANCE SHEET DATE

• 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 1,450,000,000. The transaction is 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 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.

QUARTERLY OVERVIEW

KEY RATIOS AND DEFINITIONS

WÄSTBYGG GROUP'S SHARES

During Q1 we saw positive signals in the form of falling inflation, which in turn suggests interest rate cuts could be imminent. At the same time, the situation remains challenging for the construction industry, although there have been signs of increased market activity during the spring.

For the Wästbygg Group, Q1 was something of an intermediate quarter. We went into 2024 with a strong order backlog, but the rate of implementation in ongoing projects was slowed by delays to the startup of our major logistics and industrial projects. However, in April we took several important steps in the right direction. The work sheds are

now in place on the construction site for H2 Green Steel's new facility in Boden, and our part of the project has started. Work on erecting the frame of Ahlsell's new central warehouse in Norway began immediately after Easter. We also recently signed a contract with Niam, under which Niam acquired the facility in Norway. This means that the project will start to be recognised as income as of Q2. Niam will take possession of the property on its completion next summer.

STABLE ORDER BACKLOG BUT DELAYED PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION

Order intakes are usually relatively low in Q1, and this year was no exception. However, it feels very encouraging that we have signed a contract with the housing company HSB for residential construction in Gothenburg, which

represents a welcome signal from the residential market.

In addition to the reported order intake, in Q1 we signed Phase 1 collaborative agreements for two community service properties. These will not be included in the order intake until Phase 2 has started and a construction contract has been signed.

The company's order backlog was significantly larger at the end of Q1 than the same time last year. Once the implementation rate picks up as a result of the above-mentioned project start-ups in Logistics and Industry, we will be better able to capitalise on our order backlog.

INCREASED SALES OF SELF-DEVELOPED APARTMENTS

Following an almost total standstill in our self-developed tenant ownership projects during the autumn, we are seeing an upswing in sales. We currently have three completed tenant-ownership projects in which a total of 82 percent of the apartments have been sold. These projects are in attractive locations where no other new housing is currently being constructed. Considering this, along with the potential for imminent interest rate cuts, I am hopeful that demand will rise even further, including for the apartments in the two tenant-ownership projects that are currently in production.

OUR LONG-TERM STRATEGY WILL PAY OFF OVER TIME

The Q1 profit shows that some work is still needed before profitability returns to a satisfactory level for us and our shareholders. In light of this, we will focus strongly on identifying strategic business opportunities where the group's collective skills and expertise in project development and construction give us an edge in terms of offering and competitiveness. We will monitor market developments closely, and are prepared to make further adaptations to our business if market conditions require it. We are 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.

GENERAL MARKET SITUATION

SUMMARY

Sweden's economy is facing major challenges. In 2023, BNP decreased by 0.2 compared to the previous year, and no significant change is expected during 2024. Consumption and investments also declined in 2023, and are expected to remain weak during the current year. Inflation was 4.1 percent in March. The market expectation is that inflation will start approaching the Riksbank's target during the year. All the signs suggest that the Riksbank will begin lowering its policy interest rate during the summer at latest, with at least three rate cuts on the cards this year. The policy interest rate is likely to have edged down to 3.25 percent by year end.

Building construction investment dropped in 2023, with the greatest decline seen in residential construction. Rising unemployment, high construction costs and financing costs are dampening building construction volumes this year as well. Navet Analytics expects initiated building construction investment in residential and commercial premises to fall by 7 percent this year, before the market turns around in 2025. This would mean a decline of just over 40 percent in the combined volume of building construction by year end, measured in initiated investments, compared with the latest peak in 2021. We do not expect a strong recovery, since interest rates will likely remain significantly higher than we had grown accustomed to before Russia's invasion of Ukraine. However, parts of the construction sector will likely benefit from investments in infrastructure, energy supply and distribution, and from energy-saving renovation works.

Total initiated building construction investment in the Wästbygg Group's three business areas for the full financial year 2023 was just under SEK 154 billion. This was 27 percent lower than for 2022, which is in line with the -30 percent forecast. The strongest decline last year was in the Residential business area. Building construction volume dropped 40 percent, which was slightly less negative than expected. Investment volume also shrank in the Commercial business area in 2023, and initiated building construction volume fell by just over 20 percent, which is comparable to the -10 percent forecast. Investment volume remained unchanged in the Logistics and Industry business area, which was marginally better than the -3 percent forecast.

The combined building construction volume is expected to continue shrinking in the three business areas in 2024, by a total of 6 percent. This means that the forecast has worsened slightly since the previous report, when the forecast was -2 percent for 2024. In 2025, the decline is expected to slow and the investment volume is expected to remain unchanged from the 2024 figure. The market is not expected to turn around until 2026, when investments in the three business areas could potentially increase by approximately 5 percent, primarily due to a bounceback in residential construction and a slight upturn in the Commercial business area. Viewed in a longer perspective until 2026, total building construction investment for the three business areas is expected to be 35 percent lower than five years previously (2021).

ABOUT WÄSTBYGG GROUP

The Wästbygg Group is a listed construction and project development company that builds and develops residential and commercial buildings, community service properties and logistics and industrial facilities. The Group comprises Wästbygg AB, Rekab Entreprenad AB and Logistic Contractor AB.

The Group operates in the most rapidly expanding markets in Sweden, with Logistic Contractor also providing services in Denmark, Norway and Finland.

SUSTAINABLE BUSINESS Revenue SEK million

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.
  • 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

GROWTH (revenue) must be 10 percent over time but always taking into account good profitability. The KPI used is CAGR.

2020 – 2023: 8.4%

OPERATING MARGIN (EBIT) must exceed 6 percent in the long term.

Jan–Mar 2024: -5.0%

SUSTAINABLE BUSINESS

Up to and including 2023, the group's sustainability goal has been to become fossil-free by 2030 in the areas of electricity, heat, transport and waste, see development below. As of 2024, that goal has been replaced by achieving climate neutrality in our value chain by 2045. Outcomes for that goal will be reported from 2025 onwards.

SUSTAINABILITY DATA

The Wästbygg Group's Annual Report and Sustainability Report for 2023 were published at the beginning of April 2024, and can be downloaded from group.wastbygg.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

The Wästbygg Group's green framework qualifies the company for green labelling of its share and debt instruments. 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.

Cicero Shades of Green audits the outcome of our green framework every spring, and will soon complete the 2023 audit. In the previous audits for financial years 2021 and 2022, we gained a rating of Excellent in sustainability management.

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.

Sick leave is reported quarterly on a rolling 12-month basis and was 4.02 percent for the most recent period.

NEW SUSTAINABILITY TARGET

A new sustainability target was adopted at the start of 2024: By 2045, Wästbygg Gruppen shall achieve climate neutrality in its value chain. 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.

BUSINESS AREAS, SUMMARY

The order intake for Q1 was SEK 338 million (328). A lacklustre sales performance in the first quarter is more the rule than the exception, as negotiations commencing at the start of the year are seldom concluded before the end of the quarter. No clear turn in the trend for the residential market can yet be seen, and the number of calls to tender remains low. However, activity is relatively high in the Commercial business area, where public sector clients continue to procure various types of community service properties. The procurements are marked by high competition and a large number of bidders. In Logistics and Industry, the year began with a relatively cautious market. Among the players who built generic logistics facilities on speculation in the last year, there is a relatively high vacancy rate.

The order backlog was SEK 5,563 million (4,764) as of 31 March. Due to Logistics and Industry's strong order intake at the end of last year, this business area represents 60 percent of the company's order backlog. A better balance is desirable in the longer term, not least in the Residential business area.

All three business areas reported reduced revenues in Q1. For Residential and Commercial, this is due to a decreased order intake in 2023. For Logistics and Industry, delays to project start-ups were a major factor.

Operating profit was SEK-47 million (22) for the quarter. In addition to reduced volumes and delayed project start-ups, profit is still being impacted by financial challenges in some projects.

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 slump in the residential market in 2023 has persisted into 2024. According to data from Statistics Sweden for the full financial year 2023, the number of homes starting construction was half that of the previous year. It is important to note that these statistics from Statistics Sweden are based on starting clearance being given in municipalities, which does not mean that production has actually started. This means that the decline is probably even larger, which is reflected in the Residential business area's activities. The company had 1,112 apartments in production as per 31 March, compared with 2,045 at the same time last year. The order backlog fell significantly during the same period, standing at SEK 843 million (1,502) at the end of Q1.

In ongoing residential projects, there is currently a clear preponderance of rental apartments, with municipal housing companies as the main clients. This category accounted for nearly half of the number of apartments in production as of 31 March. Three self-developed residential projects remain ongoing in 2024, one of which comprises rental apartments that were sold to Lansa Fastigheter before the start of construction. In the current conditions, it is not possible to meet our target for the business area's project development revenues to reach approximately 50 percent over time. This target will be adjusted on an ongoing basis in line with market conditions.

The business area's revenues during the period shrank significantly year-on-year to SEK 213 million (440), due to the decrease in volume. One contract for a new residential project was signed in late March, the effects of which will not be seen until Q2. Profit stood at SEK -16 million (-5). 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.

Moreover, sales of self-developed tenant-ownership apartments have not yet reached the desired level, despite a tentative rise in appetite for home buying. The company will acquire unsold apartments in completed tenant-ownership projects in connection with handover, according to agreement with each individual tenant-owner association. Share profit related to unsold apartments will subsequently be deducted as the apartments are sold.

The company has an extensive portfolio of residential projects. The viability of individual projects is continuously assessed in relation to demand in the residential property market, and as a result of this, sales of residential properties are now under way in two projects in southern Sweden. No decision on the start of production has been made.

NEW PROJECTS AND AGREEMENTS ENTERED INTO

• A contract was signed with HSB for production of Brf Prisma in Mölndal, comprising 58 apartments. The order value is SEK 132 million.

CONTRACTS SIGNED AFTER 31 MARCH

• 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.

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 that are expected to commence in the coming years. In Q1 it was announced that a local development plan for the Varberg harbour area, which had previously been appealed, has gained legal force after the Land and Environment Court of Appeal ruled in Varberg Municipality's favour. The Wästbygg Group has a land allocation for a hotel in the area concerned, for which planning will now resume.

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 the company's order intake in Q1 is wholly attributable to this market segment. 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 volume of projects in progress in the business area was 130,050 sqm at the end of the period, compared to 157,000 sqm at the same time the previous year. The order backlog was SEK 1,399 million (2,076). Revenues of SEK 474 million (492) were reported for Q1, and profit stood at SEK -12 million (15). The negative profit was largely attributable to write-downs in a project, mainly due to increased overheads and delay costs. Moreover, the business area is in a phase where new collaborative projects have started up, and these projects will initially only generate cost coverage for time expended.

In previous years, agreements for collaborative projects with public sector clients have been included in the company's order intake when Phase 1 contracts were signed, based on estimated order value. As of 2024, the same principle is applied as for collaborative projects with private clients, i.e. the agreements are only included in the order intake once a construction contract is signed prior to Phase 2.

NEW PROJECTS AND AGREEMENTS ENTERED INTO

  • A contract was signed with Skellefteå Municipality for construction of a new sports facility with three separate halls. The total area is 2,800 sqm including the entrance hall and changing rooms. The order value is SEK 86 million.
  • A Phase 1 collaborative agreement was signed with Skellefteå Municipality for the planning and design of a conversion and extension of Örjansskolan, a school in Skelleftehamn. The estimated order value is SEK 150 million, but the project will only be included in the Wästbygg Group's order intake once a construction contract has been signed.
  • A Phase 1 collaborative agreement was signed with Vännäs Fastigheter for the planning and design of a new preschool with eight departments in Vännas. The estimated order value is SEK 65 million, but the project will only be included in the Wästbygg Group's order intake once a construction contract has been signed.

CONTRACTS SIGNED AFTER 31 MARCH

• A Phase 1 collaborative agreement was signed with Skellefteå Municipality for the planning and design of a conversion and extension of Sunnanåskolan, a school in Skellefteå. The estimated order value is SEK 150 million, but the project will only be included in the Wästbygg Group's order intake once a construction contract has been signed.

The Swedish logistics market is less strong than previously. Investors are showing caution, and it is taking longer than usual to rent out logistics premises. However, there are still many potential projects in the market, although contracts are often taking longer to conclude. A similar situation

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

The goal is for 50 percent of revenue in this business area to come from self-developed projects over time. This goal was not achieved in 2023 due to the market situation. Although a major development project has commenced production in Norway, there will continue to be a preponderance of construction assignments going forward, not least due to the

In Q1, strong focus was placed on the start-up of the two H2 Green Steel projects in Boden and Ahlsell Norway, as well as on sales of the latter project. Consequently, no additional contracts were signed. Order

Due to to a slight delay to the overall schedule for the H2 Green Steel and Ahlsell projects, the rate of implementation has so far been low, and will remain low during until later in Q2. The business area's order backlog from the start of the year therefore remains mostly intact, standing at SEK 3,321

COMMENTS ON THE INCOME STATEMENT

OPERATING PROFIT

Based on the segment reporting, revenues for Q1 amounted to SEK 942 million (1,379). The difference in revenue is primarily due to the delayed start-up of two major projects in the Logistics and industry business area. Revenues were also impacted by decreased order intake in the Residential and Commercial business areas, which resulted in lower volumes than previously.

Operating profit stood at SEK -47 million (22). In addition to the delayed project start-ups and reduced volumes, operating profit was impacted by write-downs, primarily in one commercial project. Other revenues increased year-on-year, in particular rental revenues from the two logistics facilities in the company's inventory. One of these facilities was divested at the end of 2023, and the buyer took possession of it at the end of Q1 2024.

PROFIT FOR THE PERIOD

Profit after tax was SEK -37 million (22), equivalent to earnings per share of SEK -1.14 (0.69). The operating margin was -5.0 percent (1.6). 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

A look at the company's historical figures shows that order intake is often relatively low in the first quarter, as it takes a while after the start of the year for projects to come to market and received tenders to be evaluated. The order intake for Q1 followed this trend, and amounted to SEK 338 million (328). A positive signal is that the order intake includes new production of tenant-owned residential apartments for HSB, for which a call-off was made after the client's sales targets were achieved. In addition to the reported order intake, Phase 1 contracts were signed with an estimated order value of SEK 215 million. However, these will only be included in the order intake and order backlog once Phase 2 construction contracts have been signed.

The order backlog was SEK 5,563 million (4,764) as per 31 March. The rate of implementation has been relatively low since the start of the year due to the above-mentioned delays to two major projects in Logistics and industry.

COMMENTS ON THE BALANCE SHEET AND EQUITY

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 as most of the machinery and tools needed for the company's construction work are supplied by subcontractors. The increase in User right's assets is primarily due to the company's signing of new contracts for offices in Gothenburg and Stockholm. The change in the Inventory item is primarily related to ongoing investment in the company's own wind power plants.

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.

A self-developed logistics facility was divested in Q1. The transaction was carried out as a corporate sale at accounting values and had little effect on revenue and profit.

This item increased due to the purchase of tenant-ownership association apartments in three projects which were completed in the autumn of 2023 but settled in early 2024.

DEVELOPMENT PROPERTIES, ETC

The Development properties item primarily includes raw land and properties for future development, as well as self-developed projects under construction.

The item is largely comprised of a logistics project in Norway being developed and constructed for Ahlsell. In April 2024, a forward commitment contract was signed with Niam, who will take possession of the property on its completion in summer 2025.

OTHER RECEIVABLES

The Other receivables item reports on shares and receivables in other shareholdings intended as short-term holdings. A year-on-year decline in development projects in progress resulted in a significant reduction in this item.

FINANCING

Non-current liabilities include loans in fixed assets and loans in properties with a development time frame of more than one year. Property loans on completed self-developed properties are recognised as current liabilities. The divestment of a logistics facility in Q1 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 it 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 a challenging 2023, the company has retained a strong financial position and comfortably met its equity ratio target by the end of Q1, 34 percent (47). The equity ratio was 36 percent on 1 January, but the balance sheet total has increased slightly since then, affecting the equity ratio. Equity per share amounted to SEK 39.16 (57.81) at the end of the period and the company's interest-bearing net cash was SEK -112 million (464).

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 THE CASH FLOW

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 Q1 amounted to SEK -16 million (-377) divided into current operations of SEK 5 million (-427), investment operations of SEK -39 million (-37) and financing operations of SEK 18 million (87).

CASH FLOW FROM CURRENT OPERATIONS

Cash flow from current operations was positively impacted by the divestment of a self-developed logistics facility, which the buyer took possession of in Q1. It was also affected by acquisition of unsold apartments in self developed completed tenant-ownership projects.

CASH FLOW FROM INVESTMENT OPERATIONS

During the quarter, the company continued to invest in the two wind power plants currently under construction. No other major investments were carried out.

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 overdraft facility was also partly utilised.

LIQUIDITY

As per 31 March, the group's available liquidity amounted to SEK 264 million (236), including unused bank overdraft facilities of SEK 105 million (163). The company has adequate financing to meet its future obligations. As of 1 January 2024, the company reduced its bank overdraft facility to SEK 150 million as planned.

COMMENTS ON THE INCOME STATEMENT

OPERATING PROFIT

Revenues for Q1 amounted to SEK 896 million (1,207). The difference in revenue is primarily due to the delayed start-up of two major projects in business area Logistics and industry. Revenues were also impacted by decreased order intake in the Residential and Commercial business areas, which resulted in lower volumes than previously. No self-developed tenant-ownership projects were handed over and settled in Q1, either this year or in 2023. On the other hand, two self-developed projects are in production, which means that both revenue and profit will be held back until these projects are completed.

Operating profit stood at SEK -46 million (5). In addition to the delayed project start-ups and reduced volumes, operating profit was impacted by write-downs, primarily in one commercial project. Other revenues increased year-on-year, in particular rental revenues from the two logistics facilities in the company's inventory. One of these

facilities was divested at the end of 2023, and the buyer took possession

PROFIT FOR THE PERIOD

of it at the end of Q1 2024.

Profit after tax was SEK -41 million (1), equivalent to earnings per share of SEK -1.27 (0.03). The operating margin was -5.1 percent (0.4). 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

A look at the company's historical figures shows that order intake is often relatively low in the first quarter, as it takes a while after the start of the year for projects to come to market and received tenders to be evaluated. The order intake for Q1 followed this trend, and amounted to SEK 338 million (328). A positive signal is that the order intake includes new production of tenant-owned residential units for HSB, for which a call-off was made after the client's sales targets were achieved. In addition to the reported order intake, Phase 1 contracts were signed with an estimated order value of SEK 215 million. However, these will only be included in the order intake and order backlog once Phase 2 construction contracts have been signed.

The order backlog was SEK 5,563 million (4,764) as per 31 March. The rate of implementation has been relatively low since the start of the year due to the above-mentioned delays to two major projects in Logistics and industry.

COMMENTS ON THE BALANCE SHEET AND EQUITY

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 as most of the machinery and tools needed for the company's construction work are supplied by subcontractors. The increase in User right's assets is primarily due to the company's signing of new contracts for offices in Gothenburg and Stockholm. The change in the Inventory item is primarily related to ongoing investment in the company's own wind power plants.

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.

A self-developed logistics facility was divested in Q1. The transaction was carried out as a corporate sale at accounting values and had little effect on revenue and profit.

This item increased due to the purchase of tenant-ownership association apartments in three projects which were completed in the autumn of 2023 but settled in early 2024.

DEVELOPMENT PROPERTIES, ETC

The Development properties item primarily includes raw land and properties for future development, as well as self-developed projects under construction.

Apr-Mar

Jan-Dec

The item is largely comprised of a logistics project in Norway being developed and constructed for Ahlsell. In April 2024, a forward commitment contract was signed with Niam, who will take possession of the property on its completion in summer 2025.

TENANT-OWNER ASSOCIATION FLATS OF OWN DEVELOPMENT UNDER PRODUCTION

This item includes properties, either undeveloped or under construction, earmarked for the production of tenant-ownership projects. It is comprised of two major tenant-ownership projects, both of which will be completed in autumn 2024.

FINANCING

Non-current liabilities include loans in fixed assets and loans in properties with a development time frame of more than one year.

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 related to completed self-developed properties are also reported as current liabilities.

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 a challenging 2023, the company has retained a strong financial position and met its equity ratio target by the end of Q1, 27 percent (35). The equity ratio was 29 percent on 1 January, but the balance sheet total has increased slightly since then, affecting the equity ratio. Equity per share amounted to SEK 35.11 (49.28) at the end of the period and the company's interest-bearing net cash was SEK -1,318 million (-1,134).

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.

As per 31 March, the group's available liquidity amounted to SEK 277 million (314), including unused bank overdraft facility of SEK 105 million (163). The company has adequate financing to meet its future obligations. As of 1 January 2024, the company reduced its bank overdraft facility to SEK 150 million as planned.

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 534 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. Some new staff recruitments took place in the autumn, primarily in the group company Logistic Contractor's offices in Oslo and Luleå in preparation for projects starting in 2024.

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 our environment that negatively affect both the construction industry and the general economic situation, primarily Russia's invasion of Ukraine as well as the war between Hamas and Israel, which also risks spreading further in the region.

Current uncertainty on the financial market and measures to reduce inflation entail both a generally reduced availability of capital on the market and increased credit costs as well as a pending inposition from clients. For the construction industry, the present economic situation has also led to an increasing number of bankruptcies in the subcontractor sector, something that has already affected 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 part 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 Wästbygg Group.

Note 6. Parent company and other group items

The parent company's intra-group revenues for the first quarter amounted to SEK 26 million (29) and the profit/loss after net financial items was SEK 6 million (5).

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 31 March 2024, other transactions with related parties comprised rental costs of SEK 1 million (1), accounts receivable of SEK 2 million (0), other receivables of SEK 13 million (13) and financial liabilities in the form of accounts payable of SEK 1 million (0).

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.
