Comments from the CEO

First quarter shows that we are progressing in improving profitability. We are managing a controlled wind-down of our operations in St. Petersburg. Even if the Ukraine conflict clouds the near-term market outlook we are increasing our land bank in attractive positions and we are set-up to deliver on our slightly revised financial targets.

Market stable in first quarter but cloudy outlook

All markets noted a good demand and prices were rising slightly. As a result of the situation in Ukraine, we decided that it was no longer possible to pursue the business of residential development in St. Petersburg long-term, which is why we in March announced that we are winding down the Russian operations. In St. Petersburg, we are completing the ongoing, mostly pre-paid, housing units. We are looking into various strategic options on how to wind-down the operations in a responsible way. Until we conclude these options, the St. Petersburg business is fully consolidated in Group numbers, as in prior periods, during the wind-down process.

The effects on our markets stemming from the Ukraine conflict are harder to assess. We are experiencing price increases on material and services in most of our markets, why we are even more careful of securing the right cost estimates before starting projects. The demand for our homes is robust but increasing interest rates and uncertainty could of course impact demand and prices short- to medium-term. Our estimate of starting 6,000 housing units in 2022 has been revised, and the new estimate is 4,200 housing units. This is mainly due to the winding down of the St. Petersburg operations, but we are also a bit cautious given the situation with signs of a strained supply of material. Shortage of certain material and products could also impact handovers. Our organisation has done a tremendous job in overcoming these types of challenges seen in conjunction with the pandemic.

Increasing profitability

Net sales grew by 55 per cent and profit before tax increased to SEK 106 M (-8). We are especially focusing on the development of the gross margin which increased to 13.0 (12.9) per cent. Our business volume varies over the quarters since we are reporting according to the completed contracts method. Based on estimated completions, we expect that the business volume in the third quarter will be lower compared to last year. We are backloaded with large part of our volume and profit reported in the fourth quarter.

In order to increase our competitiveness, we are conducting a review of our selling and administrative and indirect costs in the Group. This review will be concluded in the second quarter.

New land acquisitions for continued growth

We are continuing to increase investments in our building rights portfolio, which now totals 36,900 building rights. There has been a five per cent increase since the beginning of the year. We are continuing to expand our portfolio of attractive building rights in our growth markets Germany and Baltics.

Our high ambition to create long-term profitability stands firm While substantial in scope, our operations in St. Petersburg are not of material significance for the Group. We have conducted a financial analysis of the implications of winding down the St. Petersburg operations. We are revising the business plan mid-point for profit before tax in 2024 from SEK 1.6 Bn to SEK 1.3 Bn and reducing the number of homes sold to 5,800 units. Our longer-term ambition is to achieve profit before tax of at least SEK 2.0 Bn (previously 2.2) and 7,000 (previously 8,000) sold homes in 2026. These are marginal revisions from the financial targets announced last year which included the St. Petersburg operations. We have substantial opportunities in the business portfolio to offset the St. Petersburg contribution. We are determined to attain our long-term objectives, and our ability to implement our strategy in other markets has not changed.

A turn-around of a long-term business as our will take time, but the first quarter shows that we are making progress towards our target of achieving market-leading profitability.

Peter Wallin President and CEO

Outlook: Production starts 2022

For full-year 2022, our estimate of starting 6,000 housing units has been revised, and the new estimate is 4,200 housing units. The start volume depends on the necessary permits being obtained.

"We are continuing to expand our portfolio of attractive building rights in our growth markets Germany and Baltics"

Market development

The conditions for residential developers in our markets are robust. There is a housing shortage, purchasing power is strong and the COVID-19 pandemic has put a premium on housing. At the same time, each project is local, there are many players, competition is fierce and market developments are rapid. The players who make the right choices therefore have tremendous opportunities to benefit from these robust markets.

Population growth and urbanisation in combination with low levels of housing construction over several years have led to a shortage of housing units in destination regions.

Because of the situation in Ukraine, we see signs of a strained situation regarding materials supply and increasing costs on inputs, and we estimate this situation to remain throughout the year. The situation has not yet affected completion of any of our projects. We are working continuously to secure deliveries of materials and services for coming completions and future housing starts.

The demand for our homes is robust and the unemployment rate has gone down but increasing interest rates and uncertainty could of course impact demand and prices short- to medium-term.

Germany

There has been a shortage of housing units in Germany for many years and the topic is high on the political agenda. Bonava has a strong position in the attractive Berlin market. The market demonstrated a continued positive trend. The offering of new housing units is low, while the demand has remained high. The price trend remained favourable.

Sweden

Increasing population and relocation to the major cities, together with low interest rates and greater disposable income, have driven the housing market in Sweden. Demand for apartments and single-family homes in proximity to major cities is high. In Sweden, demand for housing has continued to be good, with slightly rising prices.

Finland

The housing market in Finland is concentrated primarily to the metropolitan regions with the largest population growth and expanded infrastructure: Helsinki, Tampere and Espoo. The housing markets in Finland continued with good demand at increased prices.

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. Prices have continued to increase slightly as demand has been higher than supply.

Baltics

The markets in all three Baltic capitals are growing economies with increased purchasing power among the younger, highly educated population. The low quality of the existing housing stock combined with growing demand for rental housing presents opportunities to both build and manage rental apartments. Favourable market conditions remain across all Baltic markets with active banks competing for mortgage, low unemployment, and lack of supply. Trend for housing prices continues to be favourable in all markets.

St. Petersburg

The interest rates have increased during the quarter and the mortgage rate is around 20 per cent. The government have announced that they subsidized mortgage rates and project financing interest. Unemployment has not increased but is expected to. Still strong underlying demand for housing while at the same time development going forward is uncertain. Bonava will not do any new housing starts or investments in St. Petersburg, but we will complete the 762 housing units currently in production.

Group performance

JANUARY–MARCH 2022

Net sales

Net sales amounted to SEK 2,863 M (1,845); more housing units for consumers and investors were recognised in profit compared with the year-earlier period.

During the quarter, 689 (665) housing units for consumers were recognised in profit, with net sales of SEK 2,136 M (1,757). The average price per housing unit recognised in profit amounted to SEK 3.1 M (2.6).

Net sales to investors totalled SEK 715 M (0), and the number of housing units recognised in profit was 302 (0).

The sale of land during the quarter amounted to SEK 8 M (83). Exchange rate fluctuations had a positive effect of SEK 70 M on consolidated net sales compared with the year-earlier period.

Operating profit

Operating profit was SEK 141 M (25) and the operating margin was 4.9 per cent (1.4).

Excluding land sales, operating profit amounted to SEK 140 M (10) and the operating margin was 4.9 per cent (0.6).

Germany had a strong quarter with improved operating profit and margin. The gross margin for consumers was lower due to a lossmaking project in Norway that is affecting the quarter and to high overhead costs in relation to their volume. The higher overhead costs due to the separation from Bonava Denmark have been handled during the quarter and will decrease gradually coming quarters. All other business units were in line with or above last year. Previous year we did not recognise any units to investors so product-mix affects margin in the quarter.

Exchange rate fluctuations had a positive impact of SEK 1 M on operating profit compared with the year-earlier quarter.

Net financial items, profit before tax, tax and profit for the quarter Net financial items were SEK -35 M (-34). Profit before tax for the quarter was SEK 106 M (-8). Tax on profit for the quarter was SEK -29 M (2), corresponding to a tax rate of 27 per cent (27). Profit for the period amounted to SEK 77 M (-6).

Financial position and cash flow

TOTAL ASSETS

Total assets were SEK 24,611 M (23,522). The increase was attributable to a higher value in properties held for future development as a result of more investments in land and increased volume of ongoing housing projects. On 31 December 2021, assets totalled SEK 23,711 M.

NET DEBT

Net debt amounted to SEK 5,154 M (4,179) at the end of the quarter. More investments in land were done in the quarter primarily in Germany, Baltics and Norway. Net debt on 31 December 2021 amounted to SEK 3,313 M.

EQUITY/ASSETS AND DEBT/EQUITY RATIO

On 31 March, the equity/assets ratio was 34.1 per cent (31.7). The debt/equity ratio was 0.6 (0.6).

CASH FLOW JANUARY-MARCH 2022

Cash flow before financing was SEK -1,785 M (-806). Higher earnings and lower translation differences resulted in a cash flow before changes in working capital of SEK -18 M (-194).

Cash flow from changes in working capital totalled SEK -1,760 M (-602). Sales of housing projects amounted to SEK 2,327 M (1,486), with increased sales primarily in Germany and Norway. Investments in housing projects amounted to SEK -4,345 M (-2,542), with increases mainly in Germany, Finland and Sweden. Increased investments in building rights, with several acquisitions in Baltics and Germany. Cash flow from other changes in working capital was SEK 257 M (454), which was primarily due to lower cash flow from interest-free receivables in Germany.

Other net debt

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 both housing units for 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.

https://www.bonava.com/en/offering-and-operations/bonavas-valuechain.

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 49 (203). Last year a large number of housing units pertain to a project in St. Petersburg that was already sold and completed on 31 March 2021. Those were delivered in second quarter 2021. On 31 December 2021, the figure was 125. As communicated earlier, the remaining housing units in St. Petersburg that was completed on 30 September 2021 has continued to be delivered in the first quarter of 2022 and are now at a low level.

UNSOLD COMPLETED HOUSING UNITS AT END OF QUARTER

The number of unsold completed housing units at the end of the quarter was 108 (273). On 31 December 2021, the figure was 122.

The diagrams illustrate the estimated completion dates for housing units 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. The curves illustrate the percentage of units sold at 31 March 2022. The diagrams thus provide an indication of future net sales, provided that the housing units are also delivered to the end customers.

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

COMPLETED HOUSING UNITS DURING THE QUARTER

At the end of the preceding quarter, Bonava estimated that approximately 720 consumer housing units would be completed in the first quarter. A total of 599 housing units were completed. Completions were delayed to quarter two in Lithuania 65 units and in Finland 50 units. In Sweden, Germany, Norway and Denmark, the number of housing units completed were largely according to plan.

In the quarter, 230 housing units for investors were estimated to be completed. 302 units were completed where Germany completed one project of 68 units ahead of schedule.

HOUSING UNITS RECOGNISED IN PROFIT DURING THE QUARTER

The number of housing units for consumers recognised in profit during the quarter was 689 (665). The majority of these were completed and delivered to customers during the quarter, but an additional 35

previously completed housing units were sold and recognised in profit. During the quarter, 302 housing units (0) for investors that had been completed during the quarter were recognised in profit.

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 14,209 M (14,314) for consumers and SEK 6,859 M (8,088) for investors.

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

Bonava's building rights serves as a solid basis for future projects. However, it must be expanded going forward. A relatively high number of land sales took place between 2016 and 2018 to structure a building rights portfolio suited to Bonava's business. Over time, the building rights portfolio has become somewhat under-sized in relation to our growth ambitions and the updated strategy. Stable volumes over time that enable scale in the business is a critical success factor in our industry, and therefore we need to further strengthen the building rights portfolio to succeed with our business. Bonava reports our building rights at book value. No surplus value from market valuation is included in reported figures.

The total number of building rights at the end of the quarter amounted to 36,900 (32,900). From year end we have increased our portfolio with 5 per cent. In Baltics several new acquisitions were completed for approximately 1,600 new housing units in Riga and Vilnius. In Germany we increased our portfolio with 600 building rights including a large investment in Berlin both intended for consumer and investors. Also, investments were made in Frankfurt, Lübeck and Leipzig. Sweden returned 700 building rights during the quarter due to a cancelled zoning process. We invested in a large plot in Västerås containing of 31 Mar 31 Mar 31 Dec

approximately 270 building rights. Norway invested in building rights in Bergen of approximately 300 units.

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 off-balance-sheet building rights at the end of the quarter amounted to 14,900 (12,300).

Bonava is to continue expanding its building rights portfolio to achieve its growth target of 7,000 sold housing units by 2026. The diagram below illustrates the development of the building rights portfolio during 2022 and its composition at the end of March 2022. Properties held for future development amounted to SEK 8,711 M (7,333) at the end of the quarter, due to increased investments.

Norway

In Norway, Bonava has operations in Bergen and Oslo. We offer apartments to consumers and multifamily apartment buildings to investors, including apartments for rent.

HOUSING UNITS SOLD AND STARTED

The number of housing units sold to consumers decreased to 49 (69). Number of housing units has decreased mainly due to less units available for sale and projects reaching a mature stage. The sales rate for ongoing production totalled 71 per cent (60).

Norway has not started any projects to consumer (77) or investor (0) in the quarter.

NET SALES AND PROFIT

January–March 2022

January–March 2022
Net sales increased to SEK 261 M (79) attributable to more housing
units for consumers recognised in profit in Bergen.
Operating loss was SEK -26 M (-16), operating margin was -10.1 per
cent (-19.7). The operating loss is mainly due to the completion of one
known challenging project where costs have increased further in
connection to the completion of the project. Selling and admin
increased to SEK -29 M (-18) driven by higher marketing costs, change
of office premises, increased rent and increased costs mainly due to
the separation from Bonava Denmark which have been handled during
the quarter and will decrease gradually coming quarters.
Norway is building up the project portfolios in both regions, focusing
on improved project control and profitability, bringing more products
to the market in line with the strategic review and plan set out in the
end of 2021.

NET SALES AND PROFIT

January–March 2022

NET SALES AND PROFIT
January–March 2022
Net sales decreased to SEK 314 M (330) attributable to less housing
units recognised in profit to consumers and more to investors at a
lower average sales price.
Operating profit was SEK 14 M (24) and the operating margin was 4.5
per cent (7.4). The lower profitability was due to a different product
mix affecting the gross margin. There were no housing units
recognised to investors in first quarter 2021.

Other information

OTHER OPERATIONS

In May 2021 it was announced that we are winding down the Danish operations. In November 2021 we sold the remaining part of the building right portfolio.

As part of the adjusted segment reporting Bonava Denmark is reported under other operations. In the first quarter Denmark recognised 21 (11) units to consumer with net sales of SEK 98 M (53). Gross profit amounted to SEK 10 M (-5) and profit before tax improved to SEK 5 M (-19). There are two remaining projects in Denmark, and they are progressing according to plan and will be handed over in quarter four. Both are investor deals totalling 185 units. Refer to note 2 for more information.

ST. PETERSBURG UPDATE

On 3 March Bonava announced that we are winding down our operations in St. Petersburg. The decision was made since Bonava cannot continue to pursue a sound residential development in St. Petersburg long-term. Bonava is looking into various strategic options to wind-down the operations in a responsible way. Until we conclude these options, the St. Petersburg business is fully consolidated in Group numbers, as in prior periods, during the wind-down process. As of now, there is no legislation saying that we cannot pay dividend from the St. Petersburg operations.

Bonava has currently 762 units in production, most of them prepaid, that we aim to conclude with handovers during 2022 and beginning of 2023. Refer to note 6 for more information.

SIGNIFICANT RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

Bonava's operations are exposed to several types of risks, both operational and financial. The strategic review did not result in any material impact on Bonava's significant risks and uncertainties. During the first quarter we have identified a larger risk of shortages in materials and supply in our markets. Nothing that effects our projects as of now, but we see an increased risk of postponement in starts and delays in handovers.

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 Executive Management Group. For further information on material risks and risk management, see pages 63–66 of Bonava's Annual and Sustainability Report for 2021, which is available at bonava.com.

ORGANISATION AND EMPLOYEES

The average number of employees in the Group for the period was 2,219 (2,070).

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 210,180,660 votes. As of 31 March 2022, Bonava had 11,304,982 Class A shares and 97,130,840 Class B shares. The number of B shares held by the company was 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 30,533 (31,060). Bonava's largest shareholder was Nordstjernan AB, with 24.5 per cent of the capital and 49.0 per cent of the votes, followed by the Fourth Swedish National Pension Fund with 8.2 per cent of the capital and 4.8 per cent of the votes and Swedbank Robur Fonder with 5.9 per cent of the capital and 3.0 per cent of the votes. The ten largest shareholders controlled a total of 54.1 per cent of the capital and 65.3 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 7.

SIGNIFICANT EVENTS DURING THE PERIOD

Bonava announced on 3 March that we are winding down our St. Petersburg operations.

Bonava announced on 28 March that we are adjusting our segment reporting from 1 January 2022. The segment Nordic is divided, and new segments are Finland and Norway. The segment St. Petersburg-Baltics is divided, and new segments are St. Petersburg and Baltics. Parent company and adjustments changes name to Other operations and include Bonava's Head Office as well as group adjustments and eliminations and here we also include the remaining part of the Danish operation. The segments Germany and Sweden are unchanged.

SIGNIFICANT EVENTS AFTER THE END OF THE PERIOD

The Annual General Meeting (AGM) in Bonava AB (publ) was held on 1 April. Mats Jönsson, Viveca Ax:son Johnson, Åsa Hedenberg, Angela Langemar Olsson and Per-Ingemar Persson were re-elected as Board members. Andreas Segal and Nils Styf were elected as new Board members.

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 tenant-owner associations and housing companies in full. As a consequence of the consolidation of tenant-owner associations and housing companies, Bonava's net debt increases. Cash and cash equivalents 34 34 37

NOTE 4 Fair value of financial instruments

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.
At level 1, Bonava has one outstanding bond loan valued at
SEK 1,200 M (997).
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.

NOTE 5 Pledged assets and contingent liabilities

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 receivables, other receivables,
cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable and other interest-free
liabilities, the fair value is considered equal to the carrying amount.

Deposit guarantees are valid until one year after the final acquisition cost of the tenant-owner association's building has been established.

Bonava announced on 3 March 2022 that we are winding down the St. Petersburg operations. Bonava is looking into various strategic options to wind-down the operations in a responsible way. Until we conclude these options, the St. Petersburg business is fully consolidated in Group numbers, as in prior periods, during the wind-down process and we have not done any impairment. As of now, there is no legislation saying that we cannot pay dividend from the St. Petersburg operations.

Bonava has currently 762 units in production, most of them prepaid, that we aim to conclude with handovers during 2022 and beginning of 2023.

In the first quarter net sales in St. Petersburg were SEK 216 M, corresponding to approximately 4 per cent of the Group's net sales R12. St. Petersburg accounted for SEK 61 M of total profit before tax corresponding to 14 per cent of the Group R12. Reported equity were SEK 671 M on the 31 of March 2022. Translation differences in quarter amounted to SEK -44 M. St. Petersburg's share of total equity in the Group were 8 per cent. In local currency the consolidated equity of the operations was RUB 5,933 M.

Number of building rights in St. Petersburg amounts to 4,000 whereof 1,200 are off-balance.

There are no intercompany loans from Sweden. Bonava's projects are financed with foreign banks with license to operate in Russia.

Bonava St. Petersburg has SEK 349 M as commitments for ongoing land acquisition off-balance plus SEK 119 M on-balance reported under Non-current liabilities.

Total exposure for Bonava AB as of 31 March 2022 amounts to SEK 1.1 Bn of which equity SEK 671 M and guarantee commitments SEK 463 M (included in Parent Company Note 2). SEK 277 M is guarantee commitments for project financing and amounts are included under Current liabilities. SEK 186 M is guarantee commitments for ongoing land acquisitions outlined above.

See page 29 for exchange rates used for consolidation in St. Petersburg as of 31 March 2022.
