CEO STATEMENT

The year 2022 was pervaded by external unrest and the consequences of this on society as a whole, on our industry and on us as a company. The slowdown caught up with us in the second half of the year and we were forced to take measures to respond to the trend. The efficiency program we launched in the third quarter characterized the final months of the year as we reduced the workforce and cut back on costs and investments.

Our earnings have been impacted negatively, mainly by three factors: Increased input costs and slowdown in the market, structural changes we have implemented in the company, as well as our increased provisions for disputes in connection with older projects undertaken in the Company's growth phase. Looking ahead, our change of focus and strengthened processes are building the resilience we lacked in 2022.

The streamlining of the organization increases stability and profitability. In the contracting operations, we continue tostreamline and select to do more of what we are good at and in which we are competitive over time. In our project development operations, we are prioritizing divestment so that we can focus our energy on the continued development of the Karlastaden district, which also includes the Karlatornet tower.

Karlatornet is on schedule and on budget. The final stories are in full production, and, by the summer, we will reach the final height of 246 meters and 74 stories. Completing our largest and most significant project is our highest priority so that we can commence moving residents into Gothenburg's new landmark in the third quarter.

Despite concerns in the market, we increased our sales to SEK9,205 million (8,735) in 2022, thanks largely to a continued high rate of production at Karlatornet and to our Middle and South regions contributing increased production volumes.

The slowdown in the housing market was reinforced towards the end of the year, although continued investments in public properties, and our ambition to steer towards a larger share of public customers, resulted in an increase of SEK 7,093 million (6,345) in order bookings for the year. Of our ten largest contracts in 2022, public properties accounted for about

70percent. Such projects are often conducted in partnership formats and with long lead times. We currently have about ten such projects at an initial phase, not having yet been ordered but with a combined value of about SEK 2 billion on full conversion. This and future volumes within Karlastaden bring stability and security even though our order backlog shrank slightly over the year from approximately SEK12 billion to SEK 10 billion as a result, among other things, of large volumes being in production. We are, and will continue to be, selective in choosing appropriate projects to join.

Our reported operating cash flow includes an adjustment for not affecting liquidity sales, as well as a build-up of projects on our own books, the financing for which comprises construction credits. These items total approximately SEK 505 million. Cleared of these and the historical contracting projects and disputes that will soon be behind us, the underlying cash flow in the contracting operations developed in a positive direction in 2022.

In 2022, the Company turned 20 years old. The Company has attained a market position in which we can compete for the largest projects while we have, at the same time, made a unique district possible, where we will soon complete the tallest building in the Nordic countries. The combination of rapid growth and our ambitions for Karlastaden entail considerable challenges but also considerable opportunities. Transforming that potential into a company that generates stable development in value over the long term permeates all of our current activities.

Michael Berglin, President and CEO

OCTOBER – DECEMBER 2022

Consolidated income amounted to SEK 2,440 million (2,543). Business Area Sweden increased its income to SEK 2,545 million (2,389) while Business Area Invest's income decreased to SEK 536 million (580).

The operating loss amounted to SEK 167 million (71), impacted negatively in part by postponed transactions in Business Area Invest because of the market situation, and in part by Business Area Sweden where price increases, structural changes and an increased provision for older disputes affected the quarter's earnings negatively.

Net financial items amounted to a negative SEK 66 million (positive 3) and were affected by the earlier sales of the Karlatornet tower and the Karlastaden Group, the receivables for which were marked to market and discounted at interest corresponding to the difference between the assessed market interest rate and the agreed interest rate. This has had a non-recurring effect of a negative SEK 23 million for the quarter. As the project progresses in accordance with the calculated forecast, the corresponding amounts will gradually have a positive effect on net interest income. During the quarter, borrowing expenses of SEK 21 million (10) on project properties were capitalized.

The Group reported an estimated tax expense of SEK 36 million (income 13). The negative tax effect for the period is primarily explained by non-taxable income and deferred tax effects of transactions, but also to a decline in deferred tax assets as carryforwards from previous years have been utilized.

The loss for the period amounted to SEK 269 million (profit 87) and earnings per share after dilution for the quarter were a negative SEK 9.50 (positive 3.10).

JANUARY – DECEMBER 2022

Consolidated income amounted to SEK 9,205 million (8,735), an increase of 5 percent. Business Area Sweden (contracting) increased its income by 14 percent to SEK9,212 million (8,103). The increase in Sweden is explained by the Karlatornet tower and other projects in the Karlstaden district having been in full production over the year and by the operations in Middle and South Sweden achieving favorable growth over the year. Business Area Invest's income increased to SEK 2,116 million (1,686), with the increase primarily comprising, for example, the sale of parts 1 and 2 (block 7) of the Auriga block to the Karlastaden Group AB joint venture, but also of construction income of SEK 1,336 million for the Karlatornet AB joint venture. Group-internal eliminations amounted to SEK 2,307 million and pertained primarily to internal deliveries to Karlastaden.

The operating loss amounted to SEK 109 million (profit 235). The change compared with last year primarily involves lower profit on sales in Business Area Invest. Unrest in the external community, resulting in a pent-up appetite for materials in the market, as well as structural changes and increased provisions in the Company implemented in the last quarter have had a negative impact on operating profit.

Net financial items amounted to a negative SEK 108 million (positive 21) and were affected by the earlier sales of the Karlatornet tower and the Karlastaden Group. The receivables were marked to market and discounted at interest corresponding to the difference between the assessed market interest rate and the agreed interest rate, corresponding to a negative SEK 72 million for the period. During the period, borrowing expenses of SEK 57 million (45) on project properties were capitalized.

The Group reported an estimated tax expense of SEK 16 million (income 93). The negative tax effect for the period is explained by non-taxable income and deferred tax effects of transactions, but also to a decline in

deferred tax assets as carryforwards from previous years have been utilized. The loss for the period amounted to

Sales per quarter

SEK233 million (profit 349) and the loss per share after dilution was SEK 8.24 (profit 12.48) for the period.

Operating profit per quarter

The Karlatornet tower will soon reach its full height. The top floors of the Nordic region's tallest building will be cast in the spring of 2023, and the building is expected to reach its full height of 246 meters by the summer. In the third quarter, residents will start moving in.

Cash flow from operating activities amounted to an outflow of SEK 203 million (inflow 140), of which cash flow from changes in working capital amounted to an outflow of SEK 58 million (178). Apart from the period's losses, operating cash flow was also affected negatively by the build-up of inventory (project properties) in projects developed in-house by Business Area Invest, where financing comprises construction credits. In the fourth quarter, this amounted to SEK 97 million. Other items affecting operating cash flow involve accrual effects that are normal for these operations.

Cash flow from investing activities amounted to an inflow of SEK 20 million (4), consisting mainly of a decrease in receivables arising in connection with the sale of blocks at Karlastaden to the Karlastaden Group AB joint venture, dividends from associated companies and proceeds from divestments of tangible fixed assets.

Cash flow from financing activities amounted to an inflow of SEK 197 million (108) and is mainly explained by loans raised and settlements of payments to tenantowner associations on transfer of ownership to them, as well as loan repayments.

Cash flow for the period amounted to SEK 14 million (outflow 28).

JANUARY – DECEMBER 2022

Cash flow from operating activities amounted to an outflow of SEK 696 million (inflow 115). In addition to earnings, this was negatively affected by, among other things, sales from Business Area Invest, where purchase considerations have not immediately comprised cash compensation and inventory build-up of projects developed in-house by Business Area Invest, for which the financing comprises construction credits. In isolation, the latter amounts to SEK 290 million over the year. Including the adjustment for non-cash transactions, the total negative effect on operating cash flow for the year amounted to SEK 505 million.

Cash flow from investing activities amounted to an outflow of SEK 44 million (inflow 20), mainly attributable to receivables arising in connection with the sale of blocks at Karlastaden to the Karlastaden Group AB joint venture, dividends from associated companies and proceeds from divestments of tangible fixed assets.

Cash flow from financing activities amounted to an inflow of SEK 417 million (206), which is primarily explained by loan repayments comprising an outflow of SEK 1,042 million, of which SEK 500 million consisted of bond repayments. New loans were secured in the amount of SEK 1,443 million.

Cash flow for the period amounted to an outflow of SEK323 million (inflow 341).

OVERVIEW BUSINESS AREAS

The Serneke Group is divided into three segments: Sweden, Invest and International, which are reported as individual operating segments.

Business Area Sweden conducts contracting operations in the areas of construction, civil engineering and infrastructure, as well as project development operations by developing project and development properties. The business area conducts construction contracting for both external customers, as well as Business Area Invest.

Business Area Invest conducts development projects with a higher degree of complexity, a higher transaction risk and a greater need for capital to be tied up. The business area generates internal assignments for Serneke Sweden's contracting operations.

Business Area International brings the Group's international investments together. International is currently starting up and considering opportunities for the future project exports. Due to its current scope, the segment will not be described in this report, other than in the tables below on this page and in the "multi-year overview" on page 17.

Other operations are reported under Group-wide, which primarily comprises Group functions and Group-wide provisions.

SEASONAL VARIATIONS

To a certain extent, Serneke's operations are subject to seasonal effects. The contracting operations normally experience lower activity in the first quarter of the year due to fewer production days and, to a greater extent than normal, the weather during the winter months. Earnings are also affected by where public holidays fall, as this affects the number of production days.

The operating loss amounted to SEK 86 million (profit 32) and the operating margin was a negative 3.4 percent (positive 1.3). Operating profit and the operating margin for the quarter were negatively impacted by indirect effects associated with price increases, structural changes, termination notices and an increased provision for historical disputes.

JANUARY – DECEMBER 2022

Income amounted to SEK 9,212 million (8,103), an increase of 14 percent. Compared with the preceding year, the increase is primarily attributable to Karlatornet and other projects within Karlstaden having been in full production over the year, to favorable growth in the operations in central and southern Sweden, and by additional collaborative projects with a high production rate being added during the year.

The operating loss amounted to SEK 79 million (profit 57) and the operating margin was a negative 0.9 percent (positive 0.7). The operating profit and operating margin for the period, particularly the last quarter, were negatively impacted by indirect effects associated with price increases, structural changes, termination notices and an increased provision for historical disputes.

The share in the profit of associates and joint ventures amounted to SEK 3 million (loss 4).

The operating loss amounted to SEK 23 million (profit 74). The decline in operating profit is mainly attributable to declining sales of projects and building rights.

SIGNIFICANT RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

Serneke's operations entail several types of risks, both operational and financial. Operational risks are related to the daily operations and can apply to tenders or project development, assessment of profits, risks linked to production or the price trend. Operational risks are managed by the internal business management that has been developed within the Group. Identifying and managing Serneke's risks is crucial to the Group's profitability. Each segment manages its risks based on the business management and developed procedures and processes. Serneke's financial risks such as interest rate, liquidity, financing and credit risks are managed centrally in order to minimize and control risk exposure. The liquidity situation is assessed on an ongoing basis by the Board and Group Management. Serneke is now experiencing a slowdown in the market in Sweden as a result of increased material and fuel prices, inflation and rising interest rates. The positive trend during the year, previously reported by the Company, cannot fully absorb the effects of this slowdown. The Company's overall business is dependent on sales from the project development operations. The shortfall in transactions affected earnings and resulted in a negative cash flow for the 12-month period in 2022. Serneke's Board of Directors and Group Management are working on a

series of measures to safeguard access to the requisite liquidity. Since the autumn, the Company has been implementing a cost-savings program in which strong measures have been taken with the aim of reducing costs and limiting investment in projects developed inhouse, as well as intensifying efforts on sales of the Group's project portfolio and other assets with the aim of streamlining the Company's operations and freeing up liquidity. As previously, ongoing dialogues are also being conducted with creditors. In the view of the Board of Directors and Group Management, implementing the aforementioned measures will secure sufficient liquidity to safeguard continued operation.

For further information on risks, as well as critical estimates and assessments, see the Board of Directors' Report and Notes 3 and 4 in the 2021 Annual Report. The descriptions in the Annual Report remain relevant. The Annual Report is published at www.serneke.group.

OTHER SIGNIFICANT EVENTS DURING THE REPORT PERIOD

Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 intensified the effects on the global economy that became apparent during the corona pandemic. The sanctions against Russia and Belarus introduced as a result of the war and the widespread uncertainty in the global economy are affecting the supply and transport of materials, as well as purchasing prices.

During the period, inflation and interest rates also shifted, which could have an impact in the future through further increased prices and subdued demand.

In November 2022, at the request of shareholders, all Series A shares were converted to series B. While the total number of shares (28,753,232) remains unchanged, there are no longer any Series A shares in the Company. While Series A shares carried one (1) vote, Series B shares each carry one tenth of a vote (0.1). Accordingly, the total number of votes decreased from 7,267,323 to 2,875,323.

SIGNIFICANT EVENTS FOLLOWING THE REPORT PERIOD

No significant events have occurred after the end of the reporting period.

NOTES

NOTE 1 – Accounting policies

This interim report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting. The Interim Report has been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), as well as interpretations of current International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) standards as adopted by the EU. The Parent Company's reports have been prepared in compliance with the Annual Accounts Act and the Financial Reporting Board's recommendation RFR 2, Accounting for Legal Entities. ESMA's guidelines on alternative key indicators are applied in the report.

The Interim Report has been prepared in accordance with the same accounting principles and calculation methods as in the 2021 Annual Report. For detailed information regarding accounting policies, see Serneke's 2021 Annual Report, see www.serneke.se.

IAS 20 Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosure of Government Assistance

In connection with the corona pandemic, Serneke has received government support, mainly in the form of opportunities to defer payments of taxes and fees, temporarily reduced employer contributions, support for short-term work, as well as compensation for sick pay expenses.

Serneke has chosen to report support for temporary work, adjustment support and costs for sick leave under Other income (SEK 4 million). These items are included in the accounts when it is reasonably certain that these grants will be received and that any conditions for the grants have been met.

Deferred payments of taxes and fees total SEK 256 million and are reported under current (SEK 102 million) and non-current (SEK 154 million) interest-bearing liabilities.

NOTE 2 – Financial assets and liabilities at fair value

Financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value in the balance sheet are classified according to one of three levels based on the information used to establish the fair value. The Group only holds financial assets and liabilities valued in level 3, which is why levels 1 and 2 have been omitted in the table below. No transfers have been made between the levels during the periods. A more detailed description of the levels can be found in Note 4 of the 2021 Annual Report.

Level 1 – Valuation is made according to prices in active markets for identical instruments.

Level 2 – Financial instruments for which the fair value is established based on valuation models that are based on observable data for the asset or liability other than quoted prices included in Level 1.

Level 3 – Financial instruments for which fair value is established based on valuation models where significant inputs are based on non-observable data.

* As of 31 December 2022, the shareholder loan for Karlatornet is recognized at SEK 1,206 million. The remainder of the receivable is attributable to the joint ventures established with Fastighets AB Balder in 2020 and in the second quarter of 2021. ** In the fair value calculation of available-for-sale financial assets at level 3, the market price method has been applied and the yield value assumption has been used. *** In the fair value calculation of the additional purchase considerations at level 3, project estimates, budgets and forecasts have been applied.

For the Group's financial assets and financial liabilities, the reported values are assessed as corresponding to FAIR VALUE. No significant changes in valuation models, assumptions or inputs were made during the period.

The repayment of the financial receivables regarding Karlatornet presupposes that the underlying calculations, which also pertain to the valuation of the underlying assets, proceed in accordance with the forecast and, if a deviation were to occur entailing there being no funds available to enable the payment of the dividend to Balder, Serneke has undertaken to convert the shareholder loan into a contingent shareholder contribution.

NOTE 3 – Pledged assets and contingent liabilities

The Group pledges collateral for external loans. The Group's contingent liabilities arise primarily in connection with different property disposals, whereby various operational guarantees may occur, as well as performance guarantees for future contracts. Serneke Group AB (publ) has also entered into a guarantee undertaking, which means that the co-owners in Prioritet Serneke Arena are jointly responsible for the correct fulfillment of interest and repayment of the associate's liabilities to credit institutions in the event that the associate is unable to pay.

Construction income

Income from contracting agreements is reported in accordance with IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers, either by fulfilling the performance undertaking over time (that is, gradually) or at one specific time. Contracting agreements entail the construction contract being performed on the customer's land, where an asset is created over which the customer gains control in pace with the completion of the asset. This entails income being recognized gradually (over time), applying percentage-of-completion. When applying percentageof-completion, the input method applies whereby income is reported based on the degree of completion, which is calculated as the ratio between the expenses incurred for work performed at the end of reporting period and the estimated total expenses for the assignment. Revaluations of the projects' final forecasts entail corrections of previously accrued profits. If it is probable that the total contract expenses will exceed the total contract income, the anticipated loss should be immediately recognized as a cost in its entirety. Modification and supplementary orders are included in the commission income to the extent that they have been approved by the customer.

Sale of properties and development rights

On disposal of properties or development rights directly or indirectly through a sale of shares, the underlying property or development right's value is recognized in the Group as income. Income from property sales is reported on gaining access to the property. When agreements include both property sales and building rights,

as well as a contracting agreement for the planned building for the buyer, an assessment is made as to whether the property and/or building rights transactions and the contracting agreement, respectively, are separate performance commitments. Depending on the design and terms of the agreement, the sale can be seen as one or

several performance undertakings. Sales are reported at the point in time at which control is transferred to the buyer. Control is transferred over time if the seller has no alternative use for the property sold and the seller is entitled to payment from the customer for the work performed. In such cases, income is reported applying percentage of completion. If any of the above criteria are not met, income is reported at a single point in time, on completion and transfer to the customer. Sales of development rights can be dependent upon decisions regarding future detailed development plans. An assessment is then made as to the likelihood of the respective detailed development plan. Sales income and earnings are recognized when the probability is deemed to be very high. When sales income is recognized, all remaining commitments in the sales earnings are also taken into account. Occasionally, property projects are sold with guarantees of a certain level of leasing, and, at the time of sale, any rental guarantees are reported as a reserve in the project, which then has a positive effect on successive profit recognition as letting takes place.

Rental income

Income also includes rental income, which is to be considered as operating leasing. Rental income is announced in advance and accrued on a straight-line basis in the income statement based on the terms of the leases. Rent paid in advance reported as prepaid rental income. In cases where the rental contract allows a reduced rent for a certain period of time, which is compensated for by higher rent during another period, this is allocated across the term of the contract.

Other income

Other income refers to income not classified as construction income, property sales and building rights, or rental income such as hotel revenues, government subsidies, or income from central companies.
