Comments from the CEO

The forecast low business volume in the first quarter was reduced further as completion of a number of projects was postponed to the second quarter. The rate of sales is also significantly lower than the preceding year. Low net sales are putting pressure on operating profit despite measures taken to reduce costs having the expected effect, and that the margin in delivered projects is on a level with previous expectations. The market is still challenging, even if certain regions are showing early signs of improvement.

Quarter with low net sales

In the first quarter – the winter quarter – handovers are seasonally fewer. Prior to the publication of this report, we announced to the market that we were delivering fewer housing units than we had indicated in the year-end report for 2022. On the one hand, the completion of a number of projects in Germany and the Baltics comprising housing units already sold had been postponed to the second quarter, and on the other we saw that sales were taking longer even if there is interest in purchasing a new home. The comparison with the preceding year is sharp, as the conditions could not be more different. The market and operations were completely unaffected by the consequences of the Russian invasion in the first quarter of 2022.

Stable margins in delivered projects

We are delivering project margins that are on a level with our earlier assessments owing to better cost control and improved governance. We recognised a number of projects in profit in Finland during the quarter with low profitability, which we were aware of at the start of these projects. The decision to go ahead with the projects was made, among other, to fulfil the conditions in previously signed agreements and to avoid negative consequences such as break fees. The sales rate for ongoing production is 66 per cent, and we have binding contracts for housing units totalling around SEK 13 Bn to deliver over the coming 18 months.

Lower cost recovery impacts profitability despite savings measures Bonava's gross profit for the period was SEK 255 M (306),

corresponding to a gross margin of 10.4 per cent (11.6). Operating profit totalled SEK 39 M (82), corresponding to an operating margin of 1.6 per cent (3.1). Our savings measures pertaining to both indirect production costs and overheads, which we announced earlier, are proceeding according to plan and are expected to have full effect as of 1 January 2024. The combination of relatively low business volumes during the period and the postponement of certain projects had a major impact, since our ability to rapidly adjust our costs over the short term is limited. It affects both gross and operating profit. In addition, a decreasing volume of ongoing projects means the possibility to activate costs also decreases. We must continually review our costs linked to the forecast business volume. A protracted weakening of the market means that it is difficult to assess future business volumes.

We are rapidly adapting ourselves to a changing world – we are ready to start projects if the right conditions are present The geopolitical situation has not improved, but in some ways we are beginning to learn to live with it. Less stress concerning the energy supply to Europe makes a welcome contribution to lower electricity prices. In Germany, our largest market, we are seeing higher levels of business activity in Berlin. In Riga and Norway as well, the sales situation is stable at a good level, while the situation in Finland and Sweden remains weak.

Our priorities are increasing sales and safeguarding the balance sheet. Net debt increased to 7.9 bn SEK, in connection to the fulfilment of conditional agreements to buy land, primarily in Germany. We are working on strengthening cash flow in order to refinance debt. Even if a few bright spots are beginning to show, we are continuing to adapt to a new situation with selectivity in production starts and adaptations of costs. While we are cautious in terms of land acquisitions, we are that much more active when it comes to improving the existing portfolio of building rights. By optimising our land bank and participating actively in zoning plan procedures, we raise the value of land that we own while assessing where we have the greatest potential to create profitable projects over the coming years in the new market situation.

The strategic review of the Norway business unit is still under way, and the divestment of the St. Petersburg operation is ongoing.

Happy neighbourhoods are needed

The long-term need for sustainable housing units remains significant. With the decline in new production starts that is taking place across our various markets, the lack of supply will increase further. Our focus is to stand strong until the market normalises.

Peter Wallin President and CEO

"In Germany, our largest market, we are seeing higher levels of business activity in Berlin."

Market trend

Population growth and urbanisation in combination with low levels of housing construction over many years has led to a shortage of housing units in destination regions. In the long term, we foresee a large need for sustainable and well-planned homes, but in the short term, the market has changed significantly.

Each project is local, there are many players, competition is fierce and market developments are rapid. The players who make the right choices can benefit from the opportunities that may arise from the prevailing market situation.

During the preceding year, we noted increased costs for materials. At present, these cost increases have begun to taper off, and energy prices have begun to fall back. Access to materials has stabilised, but significant uncertainty remains and we are working continually to secure deliveries of materials and services if disruptions arise.

Demand for our housing units remained cautious. Raised interest rates, high inflation, and increased uncertainty affected demand, primarily, but also the price trend. Our markets experienced longer sales lead times during the first quarter, even if a few bright spots began to show.

Germany

There has been a shortage of housing units in Germany for many years and this topic is high on the political agenda. The offering of new housing units is low, while customers are cautious. The price trend is largely stable, but differs between the regions. Berlin is the region in which we are seeing the best activity at present.

Sweden

Sweden is Bonava's second-largest market. We have an attractive breadth in our offering of housing units for investors and consumers, in or near large cities. Higher costs of living and rising interest rates have resulted in a cautious market. Sweden is the market where we noted the strongest slowdown as regards both production starts and sales of housing units.

Finland

The housing market in Finland is concentrated primarily to the metropolitan regions with the largest population growth and expanded infrastructure: Helsinki, Tampere and Turku. The housing market in Finland has been cautious. Increased interest rates and rising inflation mean that lead times for sales have increased.

Norway

The Norwegian market is characterised by stability and a high proportion of housing units with ownership rights. Owing to high prices in Oslo, more families are looking for housing on the outskirts of the city while more residents are trying to move from rural areas to population centres in Bergen. The level of offerings of new production remains low, and the prices year-on-year are largely unchanged.

Baltics

The markets in all three Baltic capitals are growing economies. The low quality of the existing housing stock combined with growing demand for rental housing presents opportunities to build and manage them. The favourable market conditions in the Baltic markets remain, with a low level of unemployment, a lack of supply, and active banks competing using inexpensive mortgages. Prices in all markets were stable at the beginning of the year, with the best demand in Riga.

Group performance

Due to the fact that Bonava intends to divest its operation in St. Petersburg, the Group's income statement is presented in accordance with IFRS 5 "Non-current assets held for sale and discontinued operations". This entails recognising the result from the operations in St. Petersburg on a line in the income statement as operations to be discontinued. The historical comparative figures have been restated. Assets and liabilities attributable to the operations in St. Petersburg are recognised on a line for assets and a line for liabilities in the balance sheet as of 31 March 2023. In the cash flow statement, cash flow attributable to operations to be discontinued is stated in a separate table.

JANUARY–MARCH 2023

Net sales

Net sales amounted to SEK 2,446 M (2,648), since fewer housing units for consumers and investors were recognised in profit year-on-year. During the quarter,

486 (551) housing units for consumers were recognised in profit, generating net sales of SEK 1,913 M (1,923). The average price per housing unit recognised in profit amounted to SEK 3.9 M (3.5).

Net sales to investors totalled SEK 488 M (715), and the number of housing units recognised in profit was 211 (302).

Exchange rate fluctuations had a positive translation effect of SEK 68 M on consolidated net sales year on year.

Operating profit

Operating profit totalled SEK 39 M (82), and the operating margin was 1.6 per cent (3.1).

Exchange rate fluctuations had a translation effect of SEK -4 M on operating profit year-on-year.

Net financial items, profit before tax, tax and profit for the quarter Net financial items were SEK -95 M (-36), attributable to increased interest expenses due to a higher financing volume,higher base rates and credit spreads. Profit before tax for the quarter was SEK -56 M (46). Tax on profit for the quarter was SEK 17 M (-17), corresponding to a tax rate of 30 per cent (36). The tax rate is impacted by the fact that it consists of a mix of various tax rates; the rate for the period added up to a tax asset that is primarily attributable to the operations in Germany and Finland. Loss for the period for continuing operations amounted to SEK -39 M (profit: 29).

Loss for the period for operations to be discontinued was SEK -2 M (48).

Financial position and cash flow

TOTAL ASSETS

Total assets were SEK 26,271 M (24,611). At 31 December 2022, assets totalled SEK 25,579 M. The increase was primarily attributable to investments in land under previously signed agreements, but also to an increase in completed unsold units. Exchange-rate fluctuations decreased total assets by SEK 12 M compared with 31 December 2022.

NET DEBT1)

Net debt amounted to SEK 7,794 M (5,199). At 31 December 2022, net debt amounted to SEK 6,985 M. The increase was primarily attributable to investments in land under previously signed agreements, but also to an increase in completed unsold units. Exchange rate fluctuations reduced net debt by SEK 1 M compared with 31 December 2022.

CAPITAL EMPLOYED2)

Capital employed amounted to SEK 15,843 M (13,097) at the end of the quarter. At 31 December 2022, capital employed amounted to SEK 15,109 M. The increase was primarily attributable to investments in land under previously signed agreements, but also to an increase in completed unsold units. Exchange-rate fluctuations decreased capital employed by SEK 56 M compared with 31 December 2022.

EQUITY/ASSETS AND DEBT/EQUITY RATIO2)

The equity/assets ratio was 30.1 per cent (34.1). As of 31 December, the equity/assets ratio was 31.2 per cent. The debt/equity ratio was 1.0x (0.9x as of 31 December). The change was due to an increase in net debt, attributable to investments in land under previously signed agreements, but also to an increase in completed unsold units.

COVENANTS IN LOAN AGREEMENTS

The terms in bond and loan agreements are linked to two covenants. As of 31 March, both were fulfilled. According to the calculation method in the loan agreement, the equity/assets ratio was 30.3 per cent. According to the calculation method in the loan agreements, the interest coverage ratio was 5.4x. Refer also to Note 3.

CASH FLOW JANUARY–MARCH 2023

Cash flow before financing was SEK -963 M (-1,785). Negative earnings, lower tax paid and a lower translation difference year-on-year generated a cash flow from operating activities before changes in working capital of SEK -115 M (-18).

Cash flow from changes in working capital amounted to SEK -787 M (-1,760). Sales of housing projects totalled SEK 2,192 M (2,327), where above all Germany's inflow decreased but the inflow in Finland and Norway increased year-on-year. Investments in housing projects decreased in all segments to a total of SEK -2,850 M (-4,345). Investments in building rights were lower than in the preceding year.

Sales of building rights during the period were attributable primarily to the Baltics and Sweden. Cash flow from other changes in working capital was SEK -129 M (257), which was primarily due to lower cash flows from interest-free receivables in Sweden.

Completion and delivery of housing units

RECOGNITION OF HOUSING PROJECTS

Bonava's business model and the contract structure of the housing projects mean that when production is completed and customers have taken possession of the housing units, the sales value of these units is recognised under "Net sales" in the income statement. This applies to housing units for both consumers and investors.

The carrying amount of completed but not yet handed over housing units is transferred from "Ongoing housing projects" to "Completed housing units" in the balance sheet.

Completed housing units from earlier periods are added to net sales in the quarter when delivery to the customers occurs.

In our Build-to-Manage (B2M) model, we are building rental apartments intended for own management. This entails constructing, retaining, and managing for a period instead of divesting immediately. Investments in such projects have been made in Sweden since the third quarter of 2022 and in the Baltics since the end of 2021.

For more information on Bonava's value chain, refer to our Annual Report, which is available at bonava.com.

SOLD COMPLETED HOUSING UNITS NOT RECOGNISED IN PROFIT AT END OF QUARTER

The number of sold completed housing units not recognised in profit at the end of the quarter was 50 (34). As of 31 December 2022, this total was 44.

UNSOLD COMPLETED HOUSING UNITS AT END OF QUARTER The number of unsold completed housing units at the end of the

quarter was 295 (80). The increase was primarily attributable to the Baltics, Finland, and Norway. As of 31 December 2022, this figure was 168.

10BEstimated completions of ongoing projects per quarter

COMPLETED HOUSING UNITS DURING THE QUARTER At the end of the preceding quarter, Bonava estimated that

approximately 730 consumer housing units would be completed in the first quarter. A total of 612 housing units were completed. The decrease was due primarily to the delay of a project in Germany, and one in the Baltics, to the second quarter.

During the quarter, it was estimated that 210 housing units for investors would be completed, while 211 were completed.

HOUSING UNITS RECOGNISED IN PROFIT DURING THE QUARTER

The number of housing units for consumers recognised in profit during the quarter was 486 (551). The majority of these were completed and delivered to customers during the quarter.

During the quarter, 211 (302) housing units for investors were recognised in profit. All were completed during the quarter.

VALUE OF HOUSING UNITS SOLD NOT YET RECOGNISED IN PROFIT

The value of sold housing units in production and completed housing units sold but not yet recognised in profit at the end of the quarter was SEK 7,561 M (13,429) for consumers and SEK 5,480 M (6,612) for investors.

1) Sweden pertains partly to B2M and the Baltic region pertains to B2M; refer to pages 10 and 13

The diagrams illustrate the estimated completion dates for housing units in currently ongoing projects for consumers and investors, respectively. The number of housing units have been rounded off since they are estimates of the point in time of completion, and shifts between quarters are common.

The curves illustrate the percentage of units sold at 31 March 2023. The diagrams can give an indication of future net sales, provided that the housing units are also delivered to the end customers. For those of the bars that show unsold housing units, both sale and completion need to occur before they are recognised in profit.

The lines under the diagram clarify the changes that have occurred since the assessment presented in the interim report for the most recent quarter.

The top line shows an amended estimate of when the units are expected to be completed, compared with the latest published interim report. Changes such as the date for receiving building permits, disruptions in the logistics and production chain or other factors could positively or negatively impact the estimated time of completion.

The bottom line shows the expected time of completion for the units for which production has started during the quarter. These units thus entail an increase in the total number of units included in the graph.

Building rights

In light of the weaker market, we have been restrictive regarding new investments in land since mid 2022. We are developing existing building rights in our portfolio in order to have land ready for building, and can quickly start projects up once demand turns around. The weaker market also means that opportunities to acquire land on good conditions arise, and we will act in situations like this. In this way, we can create long-term value by ensuring access to building rights for housing units going forward.

Bonava recognises building rights at the cost incurred. No surplus value from market valuation was included in the reported figures.

The total number of building rights at the end of the quarter amounted to 32,800 (32,900). Compared to the year-earlier period, the building rights portfolio has decreased somewhat owing to a restrictive stance to land purchases. Building rights in the Baltics and Germany have decreased. In Sweden and Norway the number of building rights increased, whereas in Finland they remained unchanged.

In the first quarter, the number of building rights increased somewhat; this was due primarily to Finland and Norway while the Baltics and Sweden decreased and Germany was unchanged.

Bonava recognises some of its building rights off the balance sheet, such as land that Bonava controls through a contract with options or some other form of agreement, but where the land has not yet been taken into possession. The number of building rights off the balance sheet at the end of the quarter amounted to 11,500 (13,700).

The diagram below illustrates the development of the building rights portfolio during the last year and its composition in the first quarter of 2023. Properties held for future development amounted to SEK 10,323 M (8,711) at the end of the quarter, up on the preceding year due to increased investments and more building rights on the balance sheet.

Germany

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

HOUSING UNITS SOLD AND STARTED

In the quarter, 26 housing units for consumers (233) were started, and the number of housing units sold to consumers decreased to 115 (248).

No housing units were started for or sold to investors in the quarter, or in the year-earlier period. The sales rate for ongoing production was 65 per cent (70).

NET SALES AND PROFIT January–March 2023

During the quarter, 104 housing units (206) for consumers and 63
housing units (138) for investors were recognised in profit. Net sales
decreased to SEK 711 M (1,239), which is attributable to a lower
number of housing units delivered and lower margins on projects for
investors that were recognised in profit.
The gross margin decreased to 11.1 per cent (14.9), attributable
primarily to a larger share of projects delivered to investors, where
margins are lower.
Operating profit totalled SEK 10 M (105) with an operating margin
of 1.4 per cent (8.5). The lower operating margin is attributable in part
to fewer housing units being delivered, which resulted in poorer cost
recovery, and in part to lower margins in projects delivered. 2023 2022 2022

Sweden

In Sweden, Bonava offers apartments and single-family homes to consumers in Stockholm, Gothenburg, Linköping, Uppsala and Umeå. We offer rental projects to investors in some 15 cities.

HOUSING UNITS SOLD AND STARTED

During the quarter, 69 (0) housing units for consumers were started. The project started is located in Tomtebo gård district of Umeå, and is a continuation of earlier neighbourhoods that Bonava has developed in the area. The number of housing units sold to consumers during the quarter was 14 (161). No housing units were started for or sold to investors, either during the quarter or in the year-earlier period.

The sales rate for ongoing production totalled 69 per cent (86) excluding rental housing projects intended for own management. Refer to Note 7. Ongoing production attributable to Build-to-Manage (B2M) is proceeding to plan and the project is expected to be completed in 2024.

recognised in profit. Net sales increased to SEK 517 M (261),

margin increased to 16.6 per cent (1.0), driven by cost control which
resulted in higher margins in projects delivered.

12.6 per cent (-10.1). The higher operating profit is attributable to
more housing units being delivered during the quarter, as well as
higher margins in projects delivered.

fulfil existing contractual requirements and to avoid fines. During the

the operating result. The savings are expected to have an effect in the
coming quarter.

Sweden

Glöd Location: Umeå Housing category: Multi-family housing Number of units: 69 apartments for consumers

In the picturesque Tomtebo gård district close by Lake Nydala, just a few kilometres from central Umeå, Bonava is building several family-friendly neighbourhoods. Glöd consists of 69 well-planned, Nordic Swan-ecolabelled, tenant-owned one- to four-bedroom apartments. One exciting piece of news is our "generation apartments", where part of the residence can be sectioned off with its own entryway and pantry for a teenager, grandparent, or home office. Glöd has solar panels on its roof with an estimated production of 10 to 12 per cent of the energy needs for the entire neighbourhood. The interest rates on the loans to the housing association are a major cost for the association, and will affect your monthly fees. Owing to the current rapidly increasing interest rates, there is some concern that the association's cost estimates will not hold. For Brf Glöd, we have therefore chosen to expand our security package with interest-rate protection.

Finland

Turun Solina 11 Location: Turku Housing category: Multi-family housing Number of units: 75 apartments for investors

Turun Solina 11 is located in heart of Turku, and combines the advantages of a city centre with access to parks and green spaces. This is the seventh multi-family home that Bonava is building in the Kirstinpuisto neighbourhood, an area that, when completed, will encompass a total of 1,400 Bonava homes. The building is equipped with both geothermal heating and solar panels, and will have the highest energy classification.

Latvia, the Baltics Maskavas 6 Location: Riga Housing category: Multi-family housing Number of units: 95 apartments for consumers

Krasta Masivs has quickly become a popular district, with good transport links, proximity to the town centre, and a broad range of shops. Maskavas 6 is the final stage in the Krasta Masivs neighbourhood, which will comprise a total of six buildings with 556 Bonava homes. Three of the buildings have already been delivered to the new owner-occupants. Each apartment in Maskavas 6 has its own balcony, and there are solar panels on the roofs. Bonava's own building system and repetition in the construction process have meant that housing units with a high standard can be delivered at an affordable price.

Germany

Wohnen im Ritterschlag Location: Schulzendorf, Berlin Housing category: Single-family homes and row houses Number of units: 17 housing units with ownership rights for consumers

In the Ritterschlag quarter, Bonava is constructing 17 energy-efficient buildings and row houses, each with its own yard. The buildings will have heated floors, triple-glazed windows, and solar panels on the roofs that will heat water for households. Once it is finished, the neighbourhood will comprise at least 300 Bonava homes. Shopping and weekend entertainment is located close by in the heart of Berlin, while adjacent districts offer nature walks.

Other information

OTHER OPERATIONS

In May 2021, it was announced that Bonava was winding down its Danish operations. In November 2021, the remaining stock of building rights was sold.

As part of the adjusted segment reporting, Bonava Denmark is recognised under other operations. During the first quarter, no housing units for consumers (21) were recognised in profit and loss. Net sales amounted to SEK 0 M (98). All projects have been delivered and recognised in profit since the fourth quarter of 2022. The gross loss totalled SEK -7 M (profit: 10), and loss before tax was SEK -11 M (profit: 5). The operation in Denmark has guarantee commitments for units sold 2022 and prior. The costs that were recognised in the operation during the quarter are administrative, and comprise primarily salaries for remaining personnel.

SIGNIFICANT RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

Bonava's operations are exposed to several types of risks, both operational and financial. During the next 12-month period, there are a number of uncertainties that could affect our operations and sales. These include increased key interest rates, high inflation, high energy prices, and concerns regarding the geopolitical situation in Europe. During the preceding year, we noted increased costs for materials. At present, these cost increases have begun to taper off. Access to materials has stabilised, but we are working continually to secure deliveries of materials and services if disruptions arise. The ongoing divestment of the operation in St. Petersburg is continuing. The net assets were impaired in December 2022, whereby the exposure to Russia is deemed to be limited.

After the impairment of net assets, the exposure to Russia is deemed to be limited.

Bonava has a Risk Committee that is responsible for organising, coordinating, and carrying out risk management. The Risk Committee regularly reports to the Audit Committee and the Executive Management Group. For further information on material risks and risk management, refer pages 66–68 of Bonava's Annual and Sustainability Report for 2022, which is available at bonava.com.

ORGANISATION AND EMPLOYEES

The average number of employees in the Group for the period, excluding St. Petersburg, was 1,731 (1,865).

THE BONAVA SHARE AND LARGEST SHAREHOLDERS

Bonava has two share classes, Class A and Class B. Each Class A share carries ten votes and each Class B share one vote. Bonava's share capital was SEK 434 M on the balance sheet date, divided between 108,435,822 shares and 209,190,660 votes. At 31 March 2023, Bonava had 11,194,982 Class A shares and 97,240,840 Class B shares. The number of Class B shares in treasury totalled 1,245,355, corresponding to 1.1 per cent of the capital and 0.6 per cent of the votes.

At the end of the quarter, the number of shareholders was 32,243 (32,468). Bonava's largest shareholders were Nordstjernan AB, with 24.5 per cent of the capital and 49.3 per cent of the votes; followed by the Fourth Swedish National Pension Fund with 9.0 per cent of the capital and 5.2 per cent of the votes; and Schroders, with 5.2 per cent of the capital and 2.7 per cent of the votes. The ten largest shareholders controlled a total of 58.7 per cent of the capital and 68.1 per cent of the votes. More information on the Bonava share and owners is available at bonava.com/en/investor-relations.

SEASONAL EFFECTS

Bonava recognises revenues and earnings from housing sales when sold and completed housing units are delivered to customers. Bonava's operations are affected by seasonal variations, which means that a majority of housing units are delivered to customers in the fourth quarter. Accordingly, earnings and cash flow before financing are usually stronger in the fourth quarter than in other quarters. This is shown in the charts depicting the estimated completions by quarter on page 8.

SIGNIFICANT EVENTS DURING THE PERIOD

On 2 February 2023, Bonava announced a revision of its financial targets. The new targets include that the operating margin is to amount to at least 10 per cent from 2026, and that the net debt/equity ratio is not to exceed 1.0x.

SIGNIFICANT EVENTS AFTER THE END OF THE PERIOD

Bonava held its Annual General Meeting on 3 April 2023. The Annual General Meeting passed resolutions in accordance with the proposals from the Board of Directors, and the minutes have been published at bonava.com. The Annual General Meeting re-elected Mats Jönsson, Viveca Ax:son Johnson, Nils Styf and Per-Ingemar Persson as Board members. Anette Frumerie, Olle Boback and Tobias Lönnewall were elected as new Board members.

Prior to the publication of this report, Bonava announced in a press release on 19 April that the number of completed housing units would be lower than previously anticipated.

Tenant-owner associations and housing companies

Since Bonava appoints a majority of the Board members in tenantowner associations in Sweden and housing companies in Finland, issues guarantees and provides credit to or borrowing on behalf of tenant-owner associations and housing companies, Bonava exercises a controlling influence and therefore consolidates tenantowner associations and housing companies in full.

Covenants in loan agreements

Covenants in loan agreements

The terms in bond and loan agreements are linked to two covenants, adjusted for IFRS 16 and other elements. The first is the equity/assets ratio, or shareholders' equity in relation to total assets, which is not to fall below 25 per cent. The second is the interest coverage ratio, or earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortisation in relation to net financial items. It is not to fall below 2.0x. As of 31 March, both covenants had been fulfilled. According to the calculation method in the loan agreements, the equity/assets ratio was 30.3 per cent. According to the calculation method in the loan agreements, the interest coverage ratio was 5.4x.

In the table below, disclosures are made concerning how fair value is determined for the financial instruments that are continuously measured at fair value in Bonava's balance sheet. When determining fair value, assets have been divided into the following three levels. No transfers have been made between the levels during the period.

is determined for the financial instruments that are continuously
measured at fair value in Bonava's balance sheet. When
determining fair value, assets have been divided into the following
three levels. No transfers have been made between the levels
during the period.
At level 1, Bonava has one outstanding bond loan valued at SEK
1,200 M (1,203).
Level 2 derivative instruments comprise currency swaps where the
measurement at fair value of currency-forward contracts is based
on published forward rates in an active market.
Bonava has no financial instruments in level 3.

The fair value of non-current and current interest-bearing liabilities differs only marginally from the carrying amount and is therefore not recognised separately in this interim report. For financial instruments recognised at amortised cost, accounts receivable, other receivables, cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable and other interest-free liabilities, the fair value is considered equal to the carrying amount. 31 Mar 31 Mar 31 Dec

1) Of this amount, SEK 1,243 M (1,576) comprises counter guarantees pertaining to guarantees that constitute collateral for amounts paid to tenant-owner associations formed by Bonava Sverige AB. Deposit guarantees are valid until one year after the final acquisition cost of the tenant-owner association's building has been established. Other guarantee obligations consist of Bonava AB's guarantee commitments for project financing in St. Petersburg of SEK 443 M (487) and guarantee commitments for the payment of land investments in St. Petersburg of SEK 89 M (98). Bonava's projects in St. Petersburg are financed through a foreign bank with licences to operate in St. Petersburg. Of property mortgages, collateral for project financing on behalf of Finnish housing companies was SEK 738 M (871); JV in Norway, SEK 199 M (208); and SEK 156 M (119) relates to assets associated with land acquisitions in St. Petersburg.

20BNOTE 6 23BOperations to be discontinued

St. Petersburg

Bonava announced on 3 March 2022 that the operation in St. Petersburg would be wound-down. Since then, Bonava has reviewed various strategic alternatives to wind-down operations, with one alternative being a responsible divestment of the operation. On 7 October 2022, Bonava announced that an agreement to sell the Russian operations had been signed. Due to this, the operations in St. Petersburg are recognised in operations to be discontinued as of the third quarter of 2022. Adjusted historical comparative figures were published on Bonava's website, https://www.bonava.com/en/investor-relations/financialinformation.

The intended buyer of the operations in St. Petersburg did not receive the required approvals from the Russian authorities, which is why the sales agreement has been cancelled. The decision to leave Russia stands firm and the process of selling the business has been restarted.

After the contract was cancelled, a decision was made to impair the net assets of the operation in St. Petersburg. This totalled SEK 877 M and was reported under profit for the period from operations to be discontinued in the fourth quarter of 2022. After the impairment of net assets, the exposure to Russia is deemed to be limited. In the first quarter of 2023, the operation generated a positive profit before tax of SEK 9 M. This was also impaired, and at the end of the period no net assets attributable to the operation in St. Petersburg were recognised in the Group.

Bonava AB has guarantee commitments of SEK 89 M (98) for
payment of the land investment in operations to be discontinued in
St. Petersburg, and guarantee commitments of SEK 443 M (487)
for project financing in St. Petersburg. Bonava's projects in St.
Petersburg are financed through a foreign bank with licences to
operate in St. Petersburg.
