As we sum up the first quarter of the year, I can affirm that we have continued to succeed in delivering in accordance with our strategy for stability and profitability. Consolidated income and profit were somewhat improved compared with the first quarter of the preceding year. This was achieved in a global situation pervaded by considerable uncertainty.
First and foremost, the war in Ukraine is an incomprehensible human catastrophe occurring in our immediate vicinity. This affects us all, on a human level through the media reports reaching us, and also impacts our operations in several ways. As we are a company that seeks to contribute positively to society, it goes without saying that we tried, during the quarter, to contribute to the collective relief effort taking place in many parts of society.
Naturally, the international situation will impact both the economy and the markets in which we operate. The world is still dealing with the effects of the pandemic and the consequences of the war in Ukraine have accentuated a situation in which prices for materials are rising, transport is impacted and where inflation and interest rates will affect purchasing power and demand. This requires us to be vigilant, to maintain a close dialogue with customers and suppliers and to keep good order in our agreements to minimize the risks that the external situation could cause.
In accordance with our plans, Serneke Sweden's contracting operations continue to generate additional stable profitability through discipline and by focusing on appropriate projects. Increased income and a positive trend in both operating profit and operating margin for the business area, compared with the first quarter last year, testify to this. I am pleased that we are succeeding in this despite the impact of the winter months and the price increases resulting from the global situation.
Our order bookings for the quarter were an improvement on the same period last year, again signaling stable development. Although developments associated with the global situation entail possible impacts on housing construction among private clients, we perceive continued strong demand for community service properties going forward. Our order book remains strong, affording us security. It is worth noting here that some projects, initially developed in-house, have been divested but have yet to be entered in the order book, including projects in the Karlastaden district.
Our ambition to regularly conduct transactions through Serneke Invest was also incorporated into the strategy during

the first quarter of the year. With the transfer of the Auriga block in the Karlastaden district to
Karlastaden Group AB, our joint venture with Balder, we have taken another decisive step in making the new district a reality. During the quarter, construction of the Karlatornet tower passed the halfway point in becoming the Nordic region's tallest building – not only transforming Gothenburg's skyline, but also generating pride in the company and confidence in what we deliver.
Our newly formed Group Management has now had the opportunity to work together for a number of months and I am very pleased to report that we are fully occupied accelerating our development process. As a company, we have set our sights on remaining relevant in the industry by further developing our offering. I look forward to being able to tell you more about how Serneke will develop over the upcoming quarters.

External order bookings amounted to SEK 1,837 million (1,179) for the quarter. The emphasis of the assignments secured during the quarter is on housing production and community service properties. The largest individual order in the quarter amounted to SEK 548 million and pertains to a contracting agreement signed with ICA Fastigheter to build a completely new neighborhood in Brunnshög, Lund. The project encompasses slightly more than 22,000 m2 distributed between a commercial property at the entrance level and a residential property above. Production is scheduled to commence early in the second quarter of 2022.
The market situation is affected by the ongoing war in Ukraine and leads to uncertainty about economic developments and industry prospects. Underlying

demand remains, although reflecting a certain continued shift from private clients for residential projects to local government clients, with increased orders for public spaces and public properties. The effects of the war may reinforce this development.
At the end of the first quarter, the external order backlog amounted to SEK 11,966 million (13,126). This entails a decrease of 9 percent compared with the corresponding quarter in the preceding year.
Of the order backlog for the upcoming years, green projects account for SEK 5,442 million. The projects involve constructing properties in accordance with established certification requirements that agree with Serneke's green framework.

Consolidated income amounted to SEK 2,052 million (1,950), an increase of 5 percent. Income for Business Area Sweden increased by 14 percent to SEK 2,026 million (1,770), which is largely explained by the Karlatornet tower being in full production in and by projects included in previously divested portfolios also being produced at a high rate. Business Area Invest's income amounted to SEK 501 million (337) with the increase consisting primarily of the sale of the Auriga Block to the Karlastaden Group AB joint venture, as well as of contracting income SEK 289 million for the Karlatornet AB joint venture. Group-internal eliminations amounted to SEK 521 million and pertained primarily to internal deliveries to Karlastaden.
Operating profit amounted to SEK 36 million (31), with Business Area Invest contributing most through its sale of parts of the Auriga block to the Karlastaden Group AB joint venture. Contracting operations in Business Area

Sales per quarter
Sweden also had a positive effect on operating profit. Compared with the preceding year, the margin in ongoing projects for the quarter reflects a financial trend in the right direction.
Net financial items amounted to SEK 2 million (7), with the decrease mainly being attributable to increased interest expenses on borrowings. During the quarter, borrowing expenses of SEK 12 million (12) on project properties were capitalized.
The Group reported an estimated tax expense of SEK 17 million (8). The positive tax effect for the quarter is explained by non-taxable income and a change in deferred tax related to loss carryforwards.
Profit for the period amounted to SEK 55 million (46) and earnings per share after dilution for the quarter were SEK 1.95 (1.65).

As of March 31, the consolidated balance sheet total amounted to SEK 6,946 million (6,914) and the equity/assets ratio was 36.4 percent (35.7). At the end of the period, cash and cash equivalents amounted to SEK 547 million (575), with the Group also having a credit facility of SEK 300 million. The credit facility can be used as a credit account (SEK 200 million) or as bank guarantees (SEK 100 million, of which SEK 76 million have been utilized). At the end of the period, available cash and cash equivalents totaled SEK 747 million (775). The Group also holds granted but unused building credits of SEK 677 million, meaning that financing for future projects developed in-house is secured. Additionally, the joint venture Karlatornet AB, which is owned 50-percent by Serneke, has a granted but unused building credit of SEK 1,846 million.
On March 31, equity amounted to SEK 2,527 million (2,467). The change consists of profit for the period of SEK 55 million and share-based remunerations of SEK 5 million.
On March 31, net borrowing amounted to SEK 1,006 million (873). The change is primarily attributable to an increase in long-term interest-bearing receivables of SEK 98 million in connection with the sale of the Auriga Block to the Karlastaden Group AB joint venture. The bond matures in December, with the conditions for refinancing this debt being deemed as favorable. The change is also explained by repayments of SEK 130 million on bank loans and an increase in cash and cash equivalents.
Interest-bearing receivables amounted to SEK 2,009 million, mainly comprising receivables incurred in connection with Serneke and Balder entering into transactions regarding the Karlastaden district.

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. The business area is in the start-up phase and currently comprises an interest in an Australian construction company and an ongoing project-export initiative. 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 15.
Other operations are reported under Group-wide, which primarily comprises Group functions and Group-wide provisions.

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.

| Operating profit | 10 | -10 | 77 | 57 |
| Operating margin, % | 0.5 | -0.6 | 0.9 | 0.7 |
Income amounted to SEK 2,026 million (1,770), an increase of 14 percent, which is largely explained by the Karlatornet tower being in full production.
Operating profit amounted to SEK 10 million (loss 10) and the operating margin was 0.5 percent (negative 0.6). Operating profit and operating margin for the quarter were affected by seasonal variations related to weather conditions, indirect effects of the corona pandemic (delays), as well as price increases in the market due to the invasion of Ukraine. Compared with the preceding year, operating profit for the quarter shows financial development in the right direction, with this having been the fourth consecutive quarter in profit. The operating margin for the quarter shows development in the right direction, reflecting the strongest start of a year since our reorganization in early 2020.
In the first quarter, all building rights and housing production being developed in-house were transferred to the Invest segment. To provide a comprehensive and fair picture of development over time, the table for the Invest segment on page 10 includes comparative figures for previous periods from the Sweden segment.

Income amounted to SEK 501 million (337) with the increase consisting primarily of the partial sale of the Auriga block to the Karlastaden Group AB joint venture, as well as onward invoicing of contracting performed by Business Area Sweden for the Karlatornet AB joint venture.
The participation in the profit of associates and joint ventures amounted to SEK 4 million (5).
Operating profit amounted to SEK 60 million (71). The positive operating profit is mainly explained by the partial sale of the Auriga block to Balder. Hotel operations were also affected positively, with increased activity following the ending of the corona pandemic restrictions.
As of March 31, 2022, the total book value of Business Area Invest's project development portfolio amounted to SEK 1,645 million.

Serneke Group AB's (publ) operations mainly comprise Group management and Group-wide services.
Income for January-March amounted to SEK 46 million (33) and consisted primarily of intra-group services. Operating profit for the same period amounted to SEK 6 million (loss 11).
The Parent Company is indirectly affected by the risks described in the section Significant risks and uncertainty factors.
The nature and extent of transactions by related parties can be found in Note 33 of the 2021 Annual Report. During the year, related party transactions have occurred with Lommen Sjöbefälet AB, Kongahälla Shopping AB, Ola Serneke Holding AB, Kviberg Skidanläggning AB, Limestone Management AB, JV Sersund AB, JV Karlatornet AB, JV Karlastaden Group AB and the associated company Änglagården. Transactions with related parties have been made on market terms.
Transactions with Lommen Sjöbefälet AB are considered to be related party transactions as the Company's main owner, Ludwig Mattsson, is a member of the Board of Serneke Group AB. The transactions consist primarily of the rent for Serneke's head office and purchases amounting to SEK 3.2 million. Transactions with Kongahälla Shopping AB are considered to be related party transactions as the Company's main owner, Ludwig Mattsson, is a member of the Board of Serneke Group AB. The transactions primarily involve contracting income amounting to SEK 1.2 million.
Transactions with Ola Serneke Holding AB are considered to be related party transactions as Ola Serneke is the principal shareholder in Serneke Group AB. Purchasing amounted to SEK 0.1 million and mainly comprised expenses for the settlement of assets in 2020 between Serneke and Kviberg Skidanläggning AB, which is owned by Ola Serneke Holding AB, and is thus considered a related party transaction.
Transactions with Michael Berglin are considered related party transactions as Michael Berglin is a member of Group Management. The transactions involve contracting income amounting to SEK 9.6 million as of March 31. Transactions with Limestone Management AB, Per Åkerman's consulting company, are considered to be related party transactions as Per Åkerman is a member of the Board of the Company. The transactions relate to consultancy fees of SEK 0.3 million for tasks beyond the Board assignment.
Transactions with Sersund AB (joint venture) are considered to be related party transactions as Serneke holds 50 percent of Sersund and the transactions consist mainly of income of SEK 2.4 million from contracting services. Transactions with Karlatornet AB (joint venture) are considered to be related party transactions as Serneke owns 50 percent of Karlatornet AB as of December 17, 2020. The transactions primarily involve contracting income of SEK 289 million. Transactions with Karlastaden Group (joint venture) are considered related party transactions as Serneke owns 50 percent of Karlastaden Group AB. The transactions primarily involve contracting income of SEK 26.2 million. Transactions with the associated company Änglagården are considered to be related party transactions as Serneke owns 40 percent of Änglagården. The transactions primarily involve outsourcing of staff, rent for premises and rent for the arena, respectively. Income amounted to SEK 1.1 million and purchases to SEK 6.7 million.
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. The Board's assessment is that Serneke acts on the basis of good rules of procedure and ensures that sufficient liquidity is obtained to safeguard its 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.
During the quarter, Covid-19 ceased being classified as a generally and socially hazardous disease. However, Serneke continues to monitor closely developments surrounding the corona pandemic and its effects in both the short and long term.
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 inflation and interest rate trends. Looking ahead, this will affect prices and probably also demand.
Following the reporting period, Serneke also implemented the second part of the sale of the Auriga block in the Karlastaden district to Karlastaden Group AB, a joint venture in which Serneke and Fastighets AB Balder have equal holdings. This part comprises the lower podium portion of the future block and has an underlying property value of SEK 291 million.
Serneke Group AB has two share series, Series A and B. Serneke had approximately 7,240 shareholders as of March 31, 2022 and the closing price on March 31, 2022 was SEK 48.95.

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.
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 March 2022, the shareholder loan for Karlatornet is recognized at SEK 1,278 million. The remainder of the receivable is attributable to the joint ventures established with Fastighets AB Balder in 2021 and in the first quarter of 2022. ** 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.
The fair value of the bond amounts to SEK 500 million. For the Group's other 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.
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.

Income from contracting agreements are 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 project's final forecasts entail corrections of previously accumulated earnings. 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. Additional orders and amendments are included in the income from the assignment to the extent that they are approved by the customer.
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 at the time at which the new owner takes possession. When contracts include property sales, development rights and construction contracting to the buyer of the planned building, an assessment is made regarding whether the property and/or development rights transactions and the construction contract are separate performance undertakings. 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. Property projects are also on occasion sold with guarantees for a certain degree of leasing and,
at the time of sale, any lease guarantees are reported as a reserve in the project, which then has a positive effect on the percentage of completion as leases are signed. Rental income
Income also includes rental income, which is to be considered as operating leasing. Rental income is invoiced in advance and recognized on a straight-line basis in the income statement based on the terms of the lease agreements. Advance rent is 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 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.
