The year's fourth and strongest quarter was distinguished by continued favourable demand in all markets and significantly more projects started. Operating profit was strengthened by a higher number of housing units delivered, mainly in Germany and St. Petersburg-Baltics. Actions in Finland have been completed according to schedule, which had a positive impact on project margins. Meanwhile, there is uncertainty surrounding the potential effects of extended lockdowns in several of our markets.
The housing market was continued strong despite the second wave of the pandemic. It is likely that the increase in demand was impacted by a greater emphasis on people's living situation as more people are spending more time at home. The areas of particular interest include size, functionality and well-being. This, combined with stable macroeconomic conditions, means that people are more inclined to invest in their home.
These factors have benefited Bonava, which closed out 2020 on a strong note. Net sales increased by 16 per cent during the quarter compared with the year-earlier period. Despite lockdowns and the prevailing restrictions resulting from the pandemic, we delivered more housing units while further increasing the pace of housing projects started. Interest in investing in affordable rental apartment projects was also substantial, and we completed investor transactions in Germany, Finland and Denmark during the quarter, for a total sales value of just over SEK 2 Bn.
Operating profit strengthened significantly due to more housing units being recognised in profit, mainly in Germany and St Petersburg-Baltics, combined with the completed restructuring of our Finnish operation. Given that the majority of housing units are delivered in the fourth quarter, and this seasonal variation was stronger than normal in 2020, cash flow for the quarter improved, putting Bonava in a strong position as it enters 2021.
Bonava's largest market, Germany, demonstrated a continued positive trend with favourable demand and higher sales prices. Despite continued uncertainty concerning lockdowns, the economic outlook has improved in Germany. Net sales increased in the quarter, and we delivered more housing units at the same time as we started production on significantly more projects for consumers. Operating profit was negatively impacted by an increased provision related to a legal dispute concerning a project completed in 2000, when Bonava was active in construction contracting. The underlying operating margin improved during the quarter.
Demand for housing units was healthy in Sweden. We started nearly twice as many housing units for consumers during the quarter. However, net sales and operating profit were lower compared with the fourth quarter of 2019 since a larger share of profit was derived from gains from the sale of land. Profitability was on a par with the preceding year excluding the sale of land. During the autumn, Bonava Sweden won several site allocations comprising some 700 housing units in the Stockholm area, thereby creating a solid basis for future housing development.
Favourable demand distinguished the Nordic markets of Finland, Denmark and Norway. We sold and started production of more housing units than in any quarter in the past. I am pleased to see that the restructuring of our Finnish operation, which commenced at the beginning of the year, has proceeded according to plan, thus having a positive impact on operating profit. Our organisation is now smaller and more focused on efficient production and control.
Bonava is continuing to strengthen its position in Oslo. Land was acquired at the end of the quarter on which we are planning to
JOACHIM HALLENGREN, PRESIDENT AND CEO
develop approximately 500 housing units over a period of six to eight years, a large portion of which will comprise small apartments. We also started production on three projects in Oslo during the quarter.
The markets in St. Petersburg and the Baltic region displayed a strong sales and earnings trend. Net sales increased by just over 150 per cent. The positive trend derived from a significant increase in the number of delivered housing units compared with the preceding year. It is also gratifying to note that there was an increase in the share of projects with higher profitability. As previously communicated, production commenced on several major projects in the fourth quarter, representing a tripling compared with the preceding year. During the quarter, we also started production on our first project in Lithuania's capital city Vilnius, which represents a logical broadening of Bonava's geographical footprint in the Baltic region. Here, we offer the same affordable and modern housing as in Riga and Tallinn, our other Baltic markets.
Overall, the fourth quarter demonstrated a positive trend with favourable development in sales, strong operating profit and a high pace in project starts. It is currently difficult to assess the effects resulting from the second wave of the pandemic and the extended lockdowns. We primarily see an increased risk that some planned projects starts will be deferred during 2021. Despite the prevailing uncertainty, Bonava has a solid project portfolio that is constantly being refined, a strong financial position and cash flow that give us flexibility. In parallel, Bonava has a clear and ambitious sustainability agenda that lays the foundation for a sustainable business. Among other goals, we strive to achieve a balance where we, through increased resource efficiency, can deliver affordable homes and create happy neighbourhoods for the many without overusing global resources.
While there is still work to be done before Bonava can achieve its goal of long-term profitable growth, I am proud of the journey I have taken together with all of the committed employees at Bonava, and I am pleased to hand over the reins to my successor.
Joachim Hallengren, President and CEO
Net sales amounted to SEK 7,553 M (6,499). The higher level of net sales is primarily attributable to more housing units for consumers and investors being recognised in profit in Germany and for consumers in St. Petersburg-Baltics.
During the quarter, 1,878 (1,557) housing units for consumers were recognised in profit, with net sales of SEK 5,829 M (4,748). The average price per housing unit recognised in profit was in line with the year-earlier period, totalling SEK 3.1 M (3.0).
Net sales to investors totalled SEK 1,420 M (1,335), and the number of housing units delivered was 742 (663).
Exchange rate fluctuations had a negative effect of SEK 224 M on consolidated net sales compared with the year-earlier period.
comparability
Operating profit1) for the quarter was SEK 910 M (693) and the operating margin1) was 12.0 per cent (10.7). The higher operating profit for the quarter was due to more units being recognised in profit and the completed restructuring in Finland, which had a positive impact on project margins. Deliveries of projects in St. Petersburg-Baltics, with a higher-than-normal project margin, also contributed to the increase in operating profit.
1) Excluding items affecting comparability in the fourth quarter of 2019 of SEK –159 M pertaining to restructuring measures in Finland.
During the fourth quarter, Bonava made a reassessment based on new information concerning a legal dispute ongoing since 2010. The dispute concerns a completed construction contract from 2000, and the cost of SEK 67 M was charged to earnings in Germany during the quarter. The operating margin was negatively impacted by 0.9 of a percentage point.
Selling and administrative expenses were somewhat lower than in the preceding year. The temporarily lower full-year costs resulting from the COVID-19 restrictions were partially offset by low costs in the fourth quarter of the preceding year.
Exchange rate fluctuations had a negative impact of SEK 30 M on operating profit compared with the year-earlier quarter.
Net financial items were SEK –37 M (–31). Compared with the corresponding quarter in the preceding year, costs were higher mainly due to costs related to the raising of new long-term financing in the form of a green bond issued in September.
Profit after financial items amounted to SEK 873 M (504) for the quarter. Tax on profit for the quarter was SEK –233 M (–136), corresponding to a tax rate of 27 per cent (27). Profit for the period after tax totalled SEK 640 M (368).

Net sales amounted to SEK 16,997 M (15,474). During the period, 4,295 (4,170) housing units for consumers were recognised in profit, with net sales of SEK 13,484 M (12,088). The average price per housing unit recognised in profit increased compared with the year-earlier period, totalling SEK 3.1 M (2.9). The increase was attributable to higher average prices in all segments. In Germany, average prices rose 14 per cent in local currencies.
During the period, 1,519 (1,341) housing units for investors were recognised in profit and net sales totalled SEK 3,085 M (2,650), with the increase largely attributable to Germany. Exchange rate fluctuations had a negative effect of SEK 293 M on consolidated net sales compared with the year-earlier period.
Operating profit1) was SEK 1,121 M (1,202) and the operating margin1) was 6.6 per cent (7.8). The operating margin1) was lower due to lower gross margins in Germany and Nordic in the first half of the year. The provision for the legal dispute from 2000 in Germany had a negative impact on operating profit of SEK 67 M and on the operating margin of 0.4 of a percentage point.
Selling and administrative expenses decreased by SEK 47 M compared with the year-earlier period due to the measures taken to reduce the cost base and temporary cost savings deriving from COVID-19 restrictions.
Exchange rate fluctuations had a negative impact of SEK 35 M on operating profit compared with the year-earlier period.
Net financial items were SEK –122 M (–110). The higher costs for the period were attributable to the raising of new financing with a longer tenor in the form of a green bond issued in September. Profit after financial items totalled SEK 999 M (834) for the period.
Tax on profit for the period was SEK –267 M (–219), corresponding to a tax rate of 27 per cent (26). Profit for the period after tax amounted to SEK 733 M (615).

1) Items affecting comparability pertain to both an SEK 100 M settlement of a legal dispute in the third quarter of 2019 and restructuring measures in Finland of SEK 159 M recognised in the fourth quarter of 2019.
Total assets were SEK 22,874 M (23,487). The decrease was primarily driven by the lower value of ongoing housing projects and completed housing units, which was partially offset by an increase in cash and cash equivalents.
Distribution of assets
Net debt amounted to SEK 3,311 M (6,873) at the end of the period. Net debt at 30 September amounted to SEK 5,245 M. Seasonal variations usually result in net debt declining in the fourth quarter, and this trend was further strengthened in the fourth quarter of this year. Cash and cash equivalents at 31 December amounted to SEK 1,387 M (499).
The lower overall level of net debt is attributable to a number of factors in the various segments. In Germany, customer advances have financed operations to a greater extent. In Sweden, the worked-up value in ongoing production declined as a result of a lower price per unit at the same time as the number of units was in line with the preceding year. The planned actions yielded an effect in Nordic, which was also reflected in lower net debt, while in St. Petersburg-Baltics net debt was more in line with the preceding year.
1) Excluding items affecting comparability in 2019 of SEK –100 M relating to a legal dispute and SEK –159 M pertaining to restructuring measures in Finland.
Capital employed amounted to SEK 12,641 M (14,933) at the end of the period. The change was attributable to lower capital employed in all segments: higher customer advances in Germany, lower accumulated value in housing units in ongoing production in Sweden and St. Petersburg-Baltics, and lower value in properties held for future development in Nordic. At 30 September 2020, capital employed amounted to SEK 13,472 M.
Return on capital employed1) was 7.9 per cent (8.1). The effect of lower capital employed was offset by lower average operating profit.
As of 31 December 2020, the equity/assets ratio was 34.6 per cent (32.1). The debt/equity ratio was 0.4 (0.9).
Cash flow before financing was SEK 1,918 M (969). Higher earnings were offset to a certain extent by higher tax paid, SEK –95 M (43), which led to higher cash flow from operating activities before changes in working capital.
Cash flow from changes in working capital amounted to SEK 754 M (443). Sales of housing projects totalled SEK 6,175 M (5,510), an increase since the number of housing units recognised in profit was higher in all segments aside from Nordic. Investments in housing projects totalled SEK –4,327 M (–4,062), an increase in all business areas except Germany. Cash flow from other changes in working capital was somewhat lower than in the preceding year, SEK –1,094 M (–1,005), which was primarily attributable to a reduction in customer advances as more housing units were recognised in profit. This was offset to a certain extent by higher cash flow from both accounts receivable and accounts payable.
Cash flow before financing was SEK 3,662 M (–138). Taxes paid, SEK –184 M (–337), were lower, mainly in Germany and Sweden. Adjustments for non-cash items were higher, the largest component of which comprised currency effects. This, combined with higher earnings, led to higher cash flow from operating activities before changes in working capital.
Cash flow from changes in working capital amounted to SEK 2,396 M (–393). Sales of housing projects totalled SEK 14,521 M (12,902) and increased as a result of more housing units recognised in profit in all business areas except Nordic. Investments in housing projects, SEK –14,179 M (–13,919), were higher in all business areas except Germany. The increase in other changes in working capital of SEK 2,054 M (624) was attributable to higher cash flow from customer advances in Germany and Sweden.
Cash flow before financing
Housing sales and housing starts
In the quarter, 1,206 housing units (1,193) were sold to consumers and 820 (712) to investors. Sales to consumers decreased in Sweden and Germany but increased in Nordic and St. Petersburg-Baltics. The average price of housing units sold to consumers was unchanged at SEK 3.2 M (3.2).
Sales to investors during the quarter related to projects in Germany, Sweden and Nordic.
In the quarter, 2,365 housing units (1,000) were started for consumers and 820 (909) for investors. The number of starts for consumers increased in all segments, but above all in St. Petersburg-Baltics.
Housing sales and housing starts
In the period, 3,854 (3,918) housing units were sold to consumers and 1,714 (1,244) to investors. The average price of housing units sold to consumers increased to SEK 3.2 M (3.1), mainly attributable to a higher average price in Nordic.
During the period, 4,193 housing units (3,010) were started for consumers and 1,517 (1,441) for investors. The number of housing starts for consumers increased in Germany, which started 1,501 housing units (858), Sweden, which started 504 housing units (164), and St. Petersburg-Baltics, which started 1,535 housing units (1,301), while the number of housing units started decreased in Nordic, which started 653 housing units (687).

At the end of the period, there were 6,218 housing units (6,179) for consumers and 3,551 housing units (3,553) for investors in production. As of 31 December 2020, the sales rate was 53 per cent (59) for housing units for consumers and 100 per cent (94) for housing units for investors. At the end of the period, the completion rate was 49 per cent (48) for consumers and 38 per cent (33) for investors.
There were 31,800 (33,300) building rights, of which 19,500 (19,300) were recognised in the balance sheet.
The number of sold completed housing units not recognised in profit at the end of the period was 132 (237), of which 68 (142) were attributable to St. Petersburg-Baltics. At 30 September 2020, the number was 348, of which 285 were attributable to St. Petersburg-Baltics. Of the total number in St. Petersburg-Baltics, the majority were attributable to one project in St. Petersburg for which a final inspection could be carried out significantly earlier than planned. All of these housing units were for consumers.
During the fourth quarter, 209 housing units were delivered to consumers that had already been sold and completed on 30 September.
Number of housing units in production and percentage of housing units sold
The figure illustrates the number of housing units in production per quarter and the share of housing units sold.
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 December 2020.
The lines under the diagram clarify the changes that have occurred since the assessment presented in the interim report for the most recent quarter.
The top line shows an amended estimate of when the units are expected to be completed compared with the interim report at 30 September 2020. Changes such as the date for receiving building permits, disruptions in the logistics and production chain
Sweden St. Petersburg-Baltics
or other factors could positively or negatively impact the estimated time of completion. This risk of changes to the estimated time of completion has increased as a consequence of the uncertainty caused by the ongoing pandemic.
The bottom line shows the expected time of completion for the units for which production has already started. These units thus entail an increase in the total number of units included in the graph.
The value of housing units in production sold and completed housing units sold but not yet recognised in profit at 31 December 2020 was SEK 12.6 Bn (13.8) for consumers and SEK 7.9 Bn (7.3) for investors. The number of housing units in the graphs below are rounded off, as they are estimates of the time of completion.
Bonava's operations are exposed to several types of risks, both operational and financial. Operational risks impact the Group's daily operations. This type of risk may relate to investments in land, project development, seasonal exposure or assessment of the earnings capacity of projects.
Operational risks are managed as part of the internal corporate governance process established by Bonava. The business units assess and manage risk through operational systems as well as specific processes and procedures.
The Group's financial risks such as interest rate, currency, refinancing, liquidity and credit risks are managed centrally by the Group's Treasury Department in order to minimise and control Bonava's risk exposure in accordance with the Finance Policy.
Customer credit risk is managed by the individual business unit. A centralised function is responsible for Group-wide non-life and liability insurance, primarily property and contractor's insurance. This function also conducts preventative risk management alongside the business units, implying cost-efficient and coordinated insurable risks. The risk that Bonava may fail to comply with the Company's Code of Conduct is managed by the CSR Compliance function.
As a consequence of the global spread of COVID-19, Bonava re-evaluated the risks presented in the 2019 Annual Report and presented an updated risk assessment in conjunction with the Interim Report for the first quarter. In terms of financial risks, the increased risks from the pandemic are considered to be greatest f or liquidity, financing and valuation risks.
Bonava has secured long-term financing, for example, in the form of the green bond issued in September. Refer to Note 3 for more information on the Group's financing frameworks.
The housing market continued to perform strongly despite the pandemic. Sales of completed housing units have been favourable and the value of Bonava's completed unsold housing units has decreased year on year. Bonava identified no impairment requirements in the fourth quarter.
Since Bonava's reporting method entails that income is only recognised when the completed housing units are delivered to the customers, even the most minor disruptions in the logistics and production chain in a project can lead to the earnings effects being recognised in a later period than planned. This risk has increased as a consequence of the uncertainty generated by the ongoing pandemic.
The updated risk assessment from the first quarter remains valid and is available at https://www.bonava.com/en/investor-relations/ reports-and-presentations.
The average number of employees in the Group for the period was 2,082 (2,033).
Effective 9 June 2016, NCC AB distributed all the shares in Bonava AB to shareholders. NCC AB remains a minority owner of Bonava Deutschland GmbH, but Bonava holds the option to acquire NCC AB's participations in 2021. According to a profit-sharing agreement, NCC AB will waive dividend and receive an annual compensation of EUR 1.3 M until the agreement is cancelled, which may occur five years from entering the agreement at the earliest. The agreed profit sharing means a debt of SEK 13 M to NCC AB has been reported at an amount corresponding to the fair value of one year of payments.
Together with its contingency group, the Board of Directors and management of Bonava are closely monitoring the progress of the pandemic, planning for various scenarios and responding to recommendations from government authorities. These plans are decided and gradually implemented depending on developments, with a
long-term focus in mind. The impact on financial position and payment capacity is being routinely monitored and assessed. During the fourth quarter, production essentially proceeded as usual.
The Annual General Meeting will be held on 31 March 2021 and the notice will be published no later than 3 March.
The Board of Directors proposes an ordinary dividend of SEK 3.25 per share (0.00), and an extraordinary dividend of SEK 2.00 per share paid in two disbursements. The record date for the right to receive the first dividend of SEK 3.65 per share is proposed to be 6 April 2021. The record date for the right to receive the second dividend of SEK 1.60 per share is proposed to be 4 October 2021. On condition that the Meeting approves the dividend proposal, payment will be made on 9 April 2021 and 7 October 2021 respectively.
On 2 December 2020, Bonava's Nomination Committee proposed the election of Mats Jönsson as the new Chairman of the Board at the Annual General Meeting on 31 March 2021, since the current Chairman Mikael Norman has declined re-election. Board member Samir Kamal has declined re-election and will step down from the Board in conjunction with the Annual General Meeting. The Nomination Committee proposes the re-election of Board members Viveca Ax:son Johnson, Åsa Hedenberg, Mats Jönsson, Angela Langemar Olsson and Frank Roseen, and the election of new Board member Per-Ingemar Persson. Mats Jönsson is proposed as Chairman of the Board. The Nomination Committee's complete proposals are presented in the notice convening the Annual General Meeting.
On 25 November, the Board of Directors appointed Peter Wallin as new President and CEO effective 1 February 2021.
Riku Patokoski was appointed new Business Unit President of Bonava Finland on 2 December and will take office in March 2021, replacing Juuso Hietanen who will leave the company on 11 February 2021. In the meantime, Panu Sivula is serving as acting Business Unit President.
On 17 January 2021, the company announced that operating profit for the fourth quarter and full-year 2020 is expected to be above market expectations. Net sales for the fourth quarter of 2020 are expected to amount to about SEK 7.5 Bn (6.5) and operating profit to SEK 860–910 M (693). For the full-year 2020, net sales are expected to amount to about SEK 17.0 Bn (15.5) and operating profit to SEK 1,075–1,125 M (1,202). Figures for 2019 exclude items affecting comparability.
Bonava recognises revenue and earnings from housing sales when sold completed housing units are delivered to customers. Bonava's operations are affected by seasonal variations, which means that a majority of housing units are delivered to customers in the fourth quarter. Accordingly, earnings and cash flow before financing are usually stronger in the fourth quarter than in other quarters. This is shown in the charts depicting the estimated completions by quarter on page 8.
Unless otherwise stated, amounts are indicated in millions of Swedish kronor (SEK M). All comparative figures in this report refer to the corresponding period of the previous year. Rounding errors may occur.
Bonava has two share classes, Class A and Class B. The closing price on 30 December 2020 was SEK 79.00 per Class A share and SEK 78.70 per Class B share, corresponding to market capitalisation of SEK 8.4 Bn.
Bonava's share capital was SEK 434 M on the reporting date, divided among 108,435,822 shares and 211,090,686 votes. At 30 December 2020, Bonava had 11,406,096 Class A shares and 97,029,726 Class B shares. Each Class A share carries ten votes and each Class B share one vote.

The German housing market continued to demonstrate a positive performance. Demand was high from both consumers and investors. Sales prices and rental levels increased, but at a somewhat slower rate. Expanded restrictions as a result of the pandemic had a slight impact during the quarter, mainly resulting from longer processing times for building permits and delays to project starts.
The sales rate for ongoing production declined to 76 per cent (81) due to delayed starts combined with larger projects in ongoing production.
The number of sold housing units for consumers and investors decreased compared with the year-earlier period.
During the quarter, a rental housing project was sold in Lübeck, with the first phase expected to be completed in the third quarter of 2022.
The number of starts for consumers continued to increase – a full 683 units were started in the fourth quarter compared with 338 in the year-earlier period. The number of starts for investors was somewhat lower year on year.
Net sales amounted to SEK 3,648 M (2,873). The increase is attributable to a combination of higher average prices and more housing units for both consumers and investors being recognised in profit compared with the year-earlier quarter.
Operating margin was 15.1 per cent (15.9) The provision for the legal dispute from 2000 had a negative impact on operating profit of SEK 67 M and on the operating margin of 1.8 percentage points. The operating margin in the quarter was supported by higher project margins and more units delivered.
Net sales amounted to SEK 7,466 M (6,361). The increase is attributable to a combination of higher average prices for both consumers and investors and more housing units delivered.
The operating margin was 10.1 per cent (13.0). The provision for the legal dispute from 2000 had a negative impact on operating profit of SEK 67 M and on the operating margin of 0.9 of a percentage point. As previously communicated, the operating margin was lower in the first half of the year due to lower project margins on a number of delivered projects.

Demand for housing units remained favourable in the Swedish housing market, with rising prises being noted. Housing units sold to consumers totalled 167 (216) in the fourth quarter and for full year the number of housing units sold was in line with the preceding year. The sales rate for ongoing production for consumers increased to 65 per cent (54).
During the fourth quarter, an agreement was concluded concerning the sale of 175 rental apartments in Umeå, contingent upon
investment support being granted. Housing units sold to investors increased for the full year compared with the preceding year.

During the quarter, Bonava won several site allocations in the Stockholm area comprising a total of approximately 700 housing units.
Units sold and started, Investors, rolling 12 months
Net sales amounted to SEK 769 M (1,272). The lower net sales was attributable to fewer housing units for consumers being recognised in profit and lower land sales compared with the year-earlier period. Operating profit totalled SEK 64 M (240) and the operating mar-
gin was 8.3 per cent (18.9). Excluding land sales, operating profit amounted to SEK 45 M (59). Fewer housing units for consumers recognised in profit was offset by improved project margins in projects delivered to investors and lower administrative expenses compared with the year-earlier period. The operating margin excluding land sales amounted to SEK 6.2 per cent (6.8).
Net sales amounted to SEK 3,528 M (3,861). The decline was attributable to lower land sales but was offset somewhat by a slight increase in the number of housing units delivered compared with the year-earlier period.
Operating profit totalled SEK 283 M (450) and the operating margin was 8.0 per cent (11.7). Excluding land sales, profit was SEK 264 M (211). The higher operating profit was primarily due to the delivery of more housing units to investors at a higher margin and lower selling and administrative expenses. The operating margin excluding land sales amounted to SEK 7.6 per cent (6.2).

A favourable level of demand distinguished all of the Nordic markets. Prices in Copenhagen and Oslo continued to rise while a stable level was noted in Finland and Bergen. The housing offering decreased during the year due to lower construction activity in the Finnish and Danish housing markets.
Bonava sold a total of 878 housing units (362) during the fourth quarter, which was more than any other quarter. The rate of sales of unsold completed housing units remained high during the quarter. At the end of 2020, there were 134 (232) unsold completed housing units, of which 57 were completed during the fourth quarter.
Units sold and started, Consumers, rolling 12 months
Net sales amounted to SEK 2,410 M (2,072). The number of housing units delivered to consumers and investors was somewhat lower, although higher average prices to consumers and land sales, mainly in Finland, made a positive contribution compared with the year-earlier period.
Operating profit1) for the quarter was SEK 236 M (42). Excluding land sales, operating profit1) amounted to SEK 222 M (42). The higher operating profit was mainly the result of the completed restructuring in Finland, which positively impacted project margins, and of more units being recognised in profit in Denmark and Norway. The operating margin1) excluding land sales amounted to 10.3 per cent (2.0).
During the quarter, a total of five rental housing projects were sold to investors, of which three in Helsinki and Turku and two in Copenhagen. The first sub-projects are expected to be completed at the end of 2021 and 2022.
The number of housing starts increased in the fourth quarter. Bonava started production on a total of 950 housing units (315), of which the number of housing starts for consumers amounted to 386 (221).
Land was acquired in Oslo during the quarter where Bonava is planning to develop and construct approximately 500 housing units over a period of six to eight years.
Units sold and started, Investors, rolling 12 months
Net sales amounted to SEK 4,563 M (4,000). The higher net sales is the result of land sales. The number of housing units delivered to consumers amounted to 1,019 (1,015) and to investors to 601 (631).
Operating profit1) totalled SEK 97 M (–23). Excluding land sales, operating profit1) amounted to SEK 87 M (–22).
The higher operating profit was mainly the result of the completed restructuring in Finland, which positively impacted project margins. The operating margin1) excluding land sales amounted to 2.0 per cent (–5.6).

St. Petersburg, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania
MARKET, HOUSING UNITS SOLD AND HOUSING STARTS The housing market in St. Petersburg displayed a strong trend during the quarter at the same time as the rouble weakened. A continued recovery was noted in the market in the Baltics following the decline in the second quarter.
Sales of housing units were favourable during the quarter. Housing units sold to consumers amounted to 357 (318) during the quarter, with Latvia and our first sales in Lithuania accounting for the increase compared with the preceding year. During the quarter, 1,103 (342) housing units for consumers were started, of which 140 were from our first project in Lithuania. The market in Lithuania represents a logical broadening of Bonava's geographical footprint in the Baltic region, with good demand for modern and affordable housing.
New Russian legislation stipulates that a residential developer must finance housing projects via a local bank. During the quarter, a first loan agreement was signed with Raiffeisen Bank for RUB 1.8 Bn (approx. SEK 200 M).
Units sold and started, Investors, rolling 12 months
October–December 2020
Net sales increased to SEK 726 M (282). The increase was due to more housing units for consumers being recognised in profit, 635 (276).
Operating profit amounted to SEK 152 M (33). The operating margin was 21.0 per cent (11.5). The increase is the result of a greater number of housing units transferred and a favourable project mix. Deliveries of projects in St. Petersburg-Baltics, with a higher-than-normal project margin, also contributed to the increase in operating profit.
Net sales amounted to SEK 1,439 M (1,252). The increase is due to a greater number of housing units delivered in the Baltics and to a higher average price per housing unit delivered in St. Petersburg. In total, 1,267 housing units were delivered to consumers compared with 1,177 in the year-earlier period.
Operating profit amounted to SEK 236 M (194). The year-on-year increase is attributable to the delivery of more housing units at higher project margins. The operating margin was 16.4 per cent (15.5).

Bonava's business model and the agreement structure of housing projects mean that control is transferred to the buyer at the time of delivery of the housing unit or project. Bonava thereby satisfies the undertaking to transfer the housing unit or project upon delivery and recognises revenue and profit from sales of housing projects in full at this point. No revenue is recognised on the basis of forecast sales of housing projects. This applies to both housing units for consumers and investors.
Since Bonava appoints a majority of the Board members in tenant-owner 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 in full, Bonava's net debt increases since interest-bearing liabilities attributable to Swedish tenant-owner associations and Finnish housing companies constitute material amounts.

This Year-end Report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting, the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and recommendation RFR 1 Supplementary Accounting Rules for Groups from the Swedish Financial Reporting Board. This Year-end Report covers pages 1–30 and pages 1–15 are thereby an integrated part of this financial report. The accounting policies applied in the preparation of this Year-end Report apply to all periods and comply with the accounting policies presented in Note 1 Significant accounting policies in Bonava's 2019 Annual Report, pages 28–32. The Annual Report is available at www.bonava.com.
From 1 July 2019, Bonava added the line item "items affecting comparability" to the Income Statement. Under this heading are events and transactions such as substantial legal disputes and other substantial non-recurring costs or revenue, the profit effect of which is important to note when the profit/loss for the period is compared
with earlier periods. Tax on items affecting comparability and tax items that are themselves classified as items affecting comparability are recognised under Tax in the consolidated income statement. Items recognised as affecting comparability in one period are recognised consistently in future periods by any potential reversal of these items also being recognised as items affecting comparability.
The items recognised as affecting comparability at 31 December 2019 pertain to both the settlement of a legal dispute of SEK 100 M and restructuring measures in Finland of SEK 159 M.
Bonava recognises state support in accordance with IAS 20. In 2020, Bonava received limited state support, which is recognised as a cost reduction when there is a reasonable amount of certainty that Bonava will meet the conditions associated with the grants.
No other changes to IFRS or IFRIC interpretations are expected to have any material impact on Bonava.

The below table specifies the Group's financing facilities. In addition to these financing facilities, there are unutilised agreed credit frames for each project in Swedish tenant-owner associations, Finnish housing companies and one project in St. Petersburg of SEK 1.2 Bn.

In the table below, disclosures are made concerning how fair value has been determined for the financial instruments that are continuously measured at fair value in Bonava's balance sheet. When determining fair value, financial instruments 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 997 M (0).
Level 2 derivative instruments comprise currency swaps where the measurement at fair value of currency-forward contracts is based on published forward rates on an active market.

Bonava has no financial instruments in level 3.
The fair value of non-current and current interest-bearing liabilities differs only marginally from the carrying amount and is therefore not recognised separately in this interim report. For financial instruments recognised at amortised cost; accounts receivables, other receivables, cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable and other interest-free liabilities, fair value is considered equal to carrying amount.

2) Deposit guarantees constitute collateral for deposits and concession fees paid to tenant-owner associations formed by Bonava Sverige AB. The guarantee is to be restored one year after the final acquisition cost of the tenant-owner association's building has been established.

Bonava develops and sells homes across 23 regions in nine countries. The selected geographical markets are Germany, Sweden, Finland, Denmark, Norway, St. Petersburg, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. The common denominator in our establishments is our focus on major city regions with pronounced growth and with stable local labour markets, which generates demand for new housing over time. Bonava develops land into affordable and sustainable neighbourhoods, where the housing units are adapted to customers' wants and needs as well as the unique circumstances of each location.
Bonava provides multi-family and single-family housing units, and develops homes for consumers and investors, such as pension funds, alongside municipalities and other stakeholders. This is how Bonava creates new and vibrant neighbourhoods.
