CEO STATEMENT

The fourth quarter confirmed the positive trend that pervaded the Company's development in 2021. The core operations are more stable in their deliveries, and we have a steady flow of divestments from our project portfolio. I am proud of the progress we have made and, above all, the way in which our employees have shown an inclination and capacity for change. Although we are not yet safely in port, we did close 2021 with a quarter confirming that we are on the right course.

Contracting operations in Serneke Sweden continue to stabilize, with the fourth quarter showing an operating profit of SEK32million. We are more selective in our order bookings and more controlled in our deliveries. Hard work pays off and there are no shortcuts in this business – discipline and focus are essential in continuing to improve profitability.

Despite a number of external uncertainties, with a pandemic, transport issues and, most recently, political and military unease and rising inflation, we saw the economy recover over the year with construction increasing. The underlying need for housing and public properties remains. The market situation provides one explanation as to how we increased consolidated sales to slightly more than SEK8.7 (6.9)billion over the year. At the same time, it is important to emphasize the strategy of prioritizing profitability and stability over growth. A large part of the sales increase was driven by the business model delivering, with several major projects being generated through our own project development efforts – the Karlatornet tower naturally being the largest.

Over the past quarter, we had order bookings of SEK1.7billion and leave 2021 with a strong order book at slightly more than SEK12billion. This affords us a sense of security and confidence as we progress. Generating growth through our own project development efforts and being selective in the regular market remains a priority.

Karlastaden is emerging. Of the eight blocks, comprising some 300,000 m2 of building rights in total, six have now been sold and the remaining two, comprising some 90,000 m2, form part of an ongoing sales process. We continue to experience strong demand and people are very interested in what will be a unique district. The construction of the Karlatornet tower is progressing according to plan as we raise the frame and core by a floor each week, with the work on the facade and interiors following further down. At the other end of the district, the framework for the Capella block has been assembled and work on the Callisto, Lynx and Virgo blocks are scheduled to commence in the first quarter of 2022.

We enter 2022 strengthened by what we achieved together in 2021. Our course is set, with our sights focused on achieving good control and further strengthening the company's culture. Developments over the past year have truly proven the resolute strength of the company's employees. We also pipe aboard a partly new Group Management team, who will accelerate the process of delivering a more efficient and sustainable offering – demonstrating more clearly than ever that Serneke is a next generation company. While certainly proud, I am not yet satisfied! And I am also extremely energized to see what we can achieve in 2022.

Michael Berglin, President and CEO

External order intake for the quarter amounted to SEK1,749million (4,852), which is a decrease of 64percent compared with the corresponding quarter in the preceding year.

The explanation for the decrease in comparison with the corresponding quarter in the preceding year has to do with the transaction with Balder regarding Karlatornet AB (joint venture) with contracting work for approximately SEK2,900million being included in order bookings for the fourth quarter of 2020.

The emphasis of the assignments secured during the quarter is primarily on housing production. The quarter's largest order amounted to SEK350million and pertains to a turnkey contracting agreement signed with Specialfastigheter for the development of the Sagsjön women's prison in Lindome, south of Gothenburg. The project is scheduled for completion in the first quarter of 2024.

The market trend and prospects remain relatively unchanged compared with the preceding quarter. Underlying demand remains, although reflecting a certain shift from private clients for residential projects to local government clients, with increased orders for public spaces and public properties.

At the end of the fourth quarter, the external order backlog amounted to SEK12,101million (13,619). This entails a decrease of 11percent compared with the corresponding quarter in the preceding year.

Of the order backlog over the next three years, green projects account for SEK2,413million. The projects involve constructing properties in accordance with established certification requirements that agree with Serneke's green framework.

OCTOBER – DECEMBER 2021

Consolidated income amounted to SEK2,543million (2,166), an increase of 17percent. Business Area Sweden increased its income by 18percent to SEK2,389million (2,025), Business Area Invest increased its income to SEK580million (223), with the increase consisting primarily of the sale of the Aries block to the joint venture Karlastaden Group AB, as well as contracting income for Karlatornet AB (joint venture) of SEK319million. Intragroup eliminations amount to SEK 468 million and is primarily explained by internal deliveries to Karlastaden.

Operating profit amounted to SEK71million (loss 47), with Business Area Invest contributing most through its sale of the Aries block to the joint venture Karlastaden Group AB. Contracting operations in Sweden also had a positive effect on operating profit. Compared with the preceding year, the margin in our ongoing projects for the quarter is indicative of operating profit moving in the right direction.

Net financial items amounted to SEK3million (negative 72). Net financial items for the preceding period were negatively affected by the market valuation and discounting of the shareholder loan arising in connection with the sale of the Karlatornet tower in the fourth quarter of 2020 for approximately SEK1.4billion. As the project progresses in accordance with the calculated forecast, the corresponding amounts will gradually have a positive effect on net interest income, largely explaining the positive net financial items for the period.

The Group reported an estimated tax expense of SEK13million (47). The positive tax effect for the period is primarily explained by non-taxable income and deferred tax effects of transactions.

Profit for the period amounted to SEK87million (loss 72) and earnings per share after dilution for the quarter were SEK3.10 (loss 3.10).

JANUARY – DECEMBER 2021

Consolidated income amounted to SEK8,735million (6,871), an increase of 27percent. Business Area Sweden increased its income by 16percent to SEK8,103million (6,990). Business Area Invest's income increased to SEK1,686million (325), with the increase consisting of, for example, the net reporting of Fastighets AB Balder's acquisition of joint venture participations, as well as the sale of the Aries block to the joint venture Karlastaden Group AB. The sale of assets during the fourth quarter of 2020, in accordance with the transaction agreement, also contributed positively, as did contract income of SEK810million in Karlatornet AB (joint venture). Intragroup eliminations amount to SEK 1 209 million and is primarily explained by internal deliveries to Karlastaden.

Operating profit amounted to SEK235million (loss 414) and was mainly affected positively by Business Area Invest through the formation of a joint venture, in which Balder has acquired 50percent, to construct three blocks at Karlastaden. The sale of the Aries block to joint venture Karlastaden Group AB also had a positive effect. Compared with the preceding year, the margin in our ongoing projects is indicative of operating profit moving in the right direction.

Net financial items amounted to SEK21million (negative 88). Net financial items for the preceding period were negatively affected by the market valuation and discounting of the shareholder loan arising in connection with the sale of the Karlatornet tower in the fourth quarter of 2020 for approximately SEK1.4billion. As the project progresses in accordance with the calculated forecast, the corresponding amounts will gradually have a positive effect on net interest income, largely explaining the positive net financial items for the period. Net financial items were also affected positively by interest income pertaining to the shareholder loan.

The Group reported an estimated tax expense of SEK93million (144). The positive tax effect for the period is primarily explained by non-taxable income and deferred tax effects of transactions.

Profit for the period amounted to SEK349million (loss 358) and earnings per share after dilution for the period were SEK12.48 (loss 15.82).

Operating profit per quarter

The consolidated balance sheet total amounted to SEK6,914million (5,992) as at December 31, and the equity/assets ratio was 35.7percent (32.5). At the end of the period, cash and cash equivalents amounted to SEK575million (234), with the Group also having a credit facility of SEK300million, with SEK76million of this being used of for guarantees issued. At the end of the period, available cash and cash equivalents totaled SEK775million (646). The Group also holds granted but unused building credits of SEK771million, 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 SEK2,177million.

On December 31, equity amounted to SEK2,467million (1,946). The change comprises profit for the period of SEK349million, a new share issue of SEK166million and share-based compensation of SEK6million.

On December 31, net borrowing amounted to SEK873million (20). The foremost changes concern to the amortization of bonds by SEK200million. The bond matures in December, with the conditions for refinancing this debt being deemed as favorable. In addition to this, the change is also explained by an increase in long-term interest-bearing receivables of SEK600million in connection with the establishment of a new joint venture with Fastighets AB Balder and an increase in cash and cash equivalents.

Interest-bearing receivables increased significantly in December 2020, arising in connection with Serneke and Balder entering into a share transfer agreement entailing Balder acquiring 50percent of the shares in Karlatornet AB (the joint venture). The joint venture acquired all Karlatornet assets from Serneke at book value, with projects and development properties amounting to SEK1,704million, against a promissory note in the form of interest-bearing shareholder loans of SEK1,386million.

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. 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 18.

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.

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. Work with sales of the Group's project portfolio is part of Serneke's operations and continues to balance, for example, capital tied up, and to free up liquidity. 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 2020 Annual Report. The descriptions in the Annual Report remain relevant. The Annual Report is published at www.serneke.group.

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 2020 Annual Report. For detailed information regarding accounting policies, see Serneke's 2020 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 (SEK10million). 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.

Payments of taxes and fees were deferred in the amount of SEK275million, which is reported under current 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 2020 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 2021, the shareholder loan for Karlatornet amounted to SEK1,291million. The remainder of the receivable is attributable to the joint venture established with Fastighets AB Balder 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.

The fair value of the bond amounts to SEK500million. 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.

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), applyingpercentage-of-completion. When applyingpercentage-of-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 applyingpercentage 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.
