INTERIM REPORT

Wästbygg Gruppen AB (publ) January – September 2020

Strong results and new orders

The figures for the third quarter of the year are now ready and it is a pleasure to once again present a strong report. Based on segment reporting, i.e. taking account of revenue recognition applied over time in self-developed tenantowner projects, we report an operating profit of SEK 67 million for the quarter. This is almost twice as much as the same period last year. New orders during the third quarter have been good and have partially compensated for the weaker than normal level of new orders that we experienced during the second quarter.

Jörgen Andersson, CEO Wästbygg Gruppen

A Word from the CEO

Now we are listed!

On 13 October, Wästbygg Gruppen AB was listed on Nasdaq Stockholm. Interest in the shares was very high and our offer was oversubscribed before the listing day. We are very pleased with the trust in the company and our business that exists among both professional investors and private individuals and we will do everything to continue to deliver at a high level to our 13,000 new shareholders.

The figures for the third quarter of the year are now ready and it is a pleasure to once again present a strong report. Based on segment reporting, i.e. taking account of revenue recognition applied over time in self-developed tenant-owner projects, we report an operating profit of SEK 67 million for the quarter. This is almost twice as much as the same period last year. Revenues decreased slightly, from SEK 865 million to SEK 773 million.

For the first nine months of the year, we report an operating profit of SEK 177 million, which is an increase of 30%. Revenues for the same period amounted to SEK 2,798 million, which is a marginal improvement compared with 2019.

According to IFRS, with consolidated tenant-owner associations and profit recognition only at the end of each project, we report revenues of SEK 720 million and an operating profit of SEK 56 million for the quarter. For the first nine months of the year, the corresponding figures are SEK 2,696 million and SEK 158 million, respectively. Both revenues and earnings according to IFRS are lower than last year. The reason is an accrual effect linked to the completion of a self-developed housing project during the third quarter of 2019.

New orders during the third quarter have been good and have partially compensated for the weaker than normal level of new orders that we experienced during the second quarter. Just like during the spring, however, we notice that it takes longer than before from when a tender is submitted until the decision has been made by the client. At the same time, the level of activity in the market remains high and we note good demand in all three of our business areas.

With regard to the direct effects of the covid-19 pandemic, we are still only marginally affected and operations are largely running as usual. We have also not needed to utilise any of the government support measures that have been put in place or lay off any employees.

RESIDENTIAL BUSINESS AREA

Activity in the Housing business area was high during the third quarter. Construction contracts have been signed for new housing projects in Lund, Jönköping and Nacka. We have also sold a self-developed project that includes 174 student apartments in Vårberg south of Stockholm, which will now be built by Wästbygg's contracting organization.

In September, we launched sales of the 45 apartments in our self-developed project Soluret in Malmö and the level of interest has been high.

COMMERCIAL BUSINESS AREA

In Commercial, we have several major projects in production, both in retail and in community service properties. We also continue to have a major focus on community service properties in particular. Planning work is ongoing with previously received land allocations and completed land acquisitions, while at the same time we are cultivating both the municipal and the private sphere to identify new business opportunities for both contract assignments and project development.

LOGISTICS AND INDUSTRY BUSINESS AREA

The Logistic Contractor group company continues to deliver at a high level. A combination of new orders, extensive supplemental orders in existing projects and two divested self-developed logistics facilities provided a very good financial outcome during the third quarter.

The investments in Norway, Denmark and Finland are continuing. With the completion of DSV's facility of 55,000 sqm outside Oslo during the late summer, we now have another fine reference project in Norway.

A LOOK FORWARD

The listing on Nasdaq Stockholm has provided an addition of approximately SEK 800 million to the company. The Board has also decided on an over-allotment option of SEK 143 million. The plan is to use these funds to expand the investments in project development operations in all three business areas and to build up a portfolio of self-developed community service properties in the Inwita Fastigheter group company.

There are a number of housing projects in our relatively extensive project portfolio, where the detailed plan has gained legal force. Now that we are also receiving cautiously optimistic signals that the housing market is recovering, there are good opportunities to increase the proportion of self-developed projects. With greater financial capacity, we can also work with more development assignments in Commercial and Logistics and industry. The listing marks the start of a completely new phase for the Wästbygg Group and I look forward to being part of the continued journey.

Jörgen Andersson CEO, Wästbygg Gruppen AB

REVENUE AND EARNINGS

July – September 2020

When reporting in accordance with IFRS, see Note 2 on page 19 for further information, self-developed tenant-ownership projects are only recognized in the income statement upon completion from and including the interim report for January – June 2020. Given this, the difference between individual quarters can be significantly greater than before.

The Wästbygg Group is having a strong third quarter, but in comparison with 2019, revenues decreased by 31% and amounted to SEK 720 million (1,037). Operating profit decreased by 35%, and amounted to SEK 56 million (86). The main difference compared to the previous year is that a self-developed tenant-ownership association project with 103 apartments was completed during the third quarter of 2019, where revenues amounted to just over SEK 200 million and the profit was SEK 65 million. No self-developed housing project was completed during the third quarter of 2020. The three that are currently in production are planned to be completed and recognized in the profit and loss account during the first half of 2021 and the beginning of 2022 respectively.

Profit after tax amounted to SEK 58 million (81), which corresponds to earnings per share of SEK 2.50 (3.54) recalculated based on the share split that was implemented during the first quarter of 2020 (see page 13 for terms and conditions). The operating margin amounted to 7.8% (8.3).

New orders amounted to SEK 900 million (657). This partially offset the weaker order bookings during the second quarter. Above all, it is within Housing that the new projects exist. This indicates that the large underlying need for housing is driving new production, despite the weaker economic situation. Logistics and industry also continue to have a stable level of new orders. Commercial experienced a certain impact from covid-19, at the same time as even during a more normal year, fewer transactions are made during the third quarter of the year.

The longer lead times from when the tender is submitted until the the contract is signed remained. The company's assessment is that it will probably remain like this until the pandemic is over.

As a result of the good order intake, the order backlog again exceeded SEK 3 billion and amounted to SEK 3,203 M (3,970) as of 30 September. This creates security for the business, while there continues to be a strong focus on securing additional volumes for 2021.

January – September 2020

The Group is well positioned in these uncertain times thanks to its three diversified business areas and the combination of contract assignments and its own project development.

Revenues during the first nine months of the year amounted to SEK 2,696 million (2,843), which is a decrease of 5% and operating profit amounted to SEK 158 million (180), a decrease of 16%. Adjusted for the accrual effect on the comparative figures that the development project that was completed during the third quarter of 2019 gives, the trend is positive instead.

Earnings after tax amounted to SEK 152 million (175), corresponding to earnings per share of SEK 6.62 (7.63). The total new orders amounted to SEK 1,966 million (2,491).

October 2019 – September 2020

An important part of Wästbygg's long-term growth strategy is to increase the proportion of major construction assignments, which has also occurred recent years. A look at rolling twelve months is therefore a clearer yardstick for the business than what a single quarter shows. The key figures below for revenues, operating profit and new orders are for rolling twelve months from October 2019 to September 2020. The comparison figures in brackets are for the full year 2019.

Wästbygg then reported revenues of SEK 3,742 million (3,889) and an operating profit of SEK 198 million (220), which shows stability despite the uncertainty in the market. Here, too, the deviation is largely attributable to the large effects on individual quarters that the timing of completed self-developed tenant-ownership association projects entails.

New orders amounted to SEK 3,325 million (3,850).

PROFITABILITY AND FINANCIAL POSITION

Equity per share amounted to SEK 28.04 (23.14) at the end of the period, recalculated based on the share split carried out during the first quarter.

The Group reported an interest-bearing net debt of SEK -209 million (15) at the end of the period. At the beginning of the year, net debt amounted to SEK -7 million (173). Net debt is affected by tenant-ownership association projects in production that are not recognized in revenue until completion. Building credits are issued to a value of SEK 245 million for two tenant-ownership association projects. A sales rate of 90% of the apartments has been achieved in both of these. A third tenant-owner association project has so far been financed with own funds, see further under Cash flow and investments.

* 2018 has not been recalculated according to the changed accounting principle, which is why this information is from the segment accounts.

ORDER INTAKE AND ORDER STOCK SEK million/quarter

CASH FLOW AND INVESTMENTS

Variations in cash flow from one period to another are a natural consequence of how many development projects are underway and how many are sold.

Total cash flow during the third quarter amounted to SEK 30 million (25), divided into current operations SEK 9 million (197), investment operations SEK -24 million (-1) and financing operations SEK 45 million (-171). The difference between 2020 and 2019 in terms of cash flow from operating activities is related to the handing over of the housing project mentioned earlier under Income and earnings.

For the first nine months, cash flow amounted to SEK -188 million (-216), divided into current operations SEK -78 million (-41), investment operations SEK -44 million (-9) and financing operations SEK -66 million (-166).

A negative cash flow is completely in line with the company's strategy to increase the proportion of development projects. The negative cash flow from investment operations during both the quarter and the first nine months was linked to the construction of the secure housing Kv Häggen in Halmstad, which is being built for own ownership in the Group company Inwita Fastigheter.

Financing operations were affected by the fact that the construction of the self-developed housing project Tuvebo

Ateljé is so far self-financed, as well as by the fact that the two logistics facilities sold during the third quarter have not yet been withdrawn. An agreement on construction credit for Tuvebo Ateljé has been signed and will be updated during the fourth quarter.

For the rolling twelve months, total cash flow of SEK -69 million was reported, compared with SEK -97 million for the full year 2019.

The equity ratio at the end of the period was 32% (29). The good equity ratio of the Group was a result of a positive earnings trend. At the same time, it was held back by non-extracted gains in self-developed tenant-ownership association projects. For comparison, it can be mentioned that according to the segment reporting, the Wästbygg Group has an equity ratio of 40% and thus there is a reassuring margin to the target of 25% that has been set (refer to the table below).

MARKET POSITION

As a result of the covid-19 pandemic, the market situation remains uncertain and difficult to assess, especially as the spread of the infection picked up pace again during the autumn. In a special study, published on 14 October, the National Institute of Economic Research estimates that Swedish GDP growth will be 4–5 percentage points lower in 2020 compared with 2019, but that a recovery will take place in 2021. Unemployment is expected to increase by about 2 percentage points during both 2020 and 2021.

The company follows market events closely. Major focus will be placed on the business areas where there is continued demand. The housing shortage in many municipalities, increasing e-commerce with associated logistics requirements and the need for community service properties based on population growth, create conditions for continued development.

PERSONNEL

At the end of the period, the group had 315 employees, compared with 305 at the beginning of the year and 310 at the same time last year. Throughout the covid-19 pandemic, the Group has worked with full staffing and no redundancies or other reductions have been required. At present, the workforce is considered to be well balanced in relation to the business.

OVERALL GOALS (segment accounting)

Ahead of 2020, goals were formulated for growth, operating margin and equity/assets ratio. Outcomes over time are reported below.

Growth measured on the basis of revenue must be 10 percent over time, but always taking into account good profitability.

GROWTH, 10 % from previous year OPERATING MARGIN (EBIT), 6% EQUITY/ASSETS RATIO, 25%

The long-term operating margin (EBIT) must exceed 6 percent. As of 30 September 2020, operating margin was6.3%.

The equity/assets ratio shall not be less than 25 percent. As of 30 September 2020, the equity/assets ratio was 40%.

Segment reporting

All three segments reported positive results during the third quarter of the year.

Residential has a period behind it when the segment was burdened by write-downs in a contract assignment and by the fact that project development operations were affected by the slowdown in the residential market. The market is now slowly beginning to recover, which is reflected in an increased number of new orders in the segment and good apartment sales in self-developed tenant-ownership association projects.

Within Commercial, there are currently the biggest challenges both in terms of tender requests in the market and lead times from tender until decision, something that is also noticeable in the business area's new orders. At the same time, from a business point of view, the third quarter is one month shorter than the others as a result of summer holidays, and it is a period when the company does not make as many business transactions, even under more normal circumstances.

Logistics and industry increased both sales and earnings significantly compared with the corresponding period last year. This is due to both extensive ongoing production and to the fact that two self-developed logistics facilities were sold during the third quarter. The reduction in the order backlog is a natural consequence of the fact that the Northvolt project has now been ongoing for just over a year and that DSV's facility outside Oslo was completed during the late summer. The total order value for these two projects amounted to almost SEK 1.5 billion.

SEASONAL VARIATIONS

DISTRIBUTION OF ORDER BACKLOG 30 SEP 2020

41 % Residential

Wästbygg's seasonal variations are mainly linked to new orders and revenue.

16 % Commercial

43 % Logistics and Industry

The level of new orders is usually higher during Q2 and Q4. This is explained by the fact that many customers want to conclude negotiations on new projects before the holiday period begins or before the end of the year. As a result of covid-19, the pattern has changed slightly in 2020. Many investment decisions have been postponed until the second half of the year, so that order intake for the company as a whole was relatively good during the third quarter.

The number of production days was lower during the third quarter of the year, when the holiday period occurs, which is reflected in both revenue and new orders.

RESIDENTIAL

Wästbygg builds apartment buildings for external clients (municipal and private). The company also develops and builds its own housing projects. In the current ongoing production, there is a clear predominance of external assignments. The long-term ambition is to increase the proportion of self-developed housing projects to about 50%.

On 17 September, our own Soluret project in Malmö was launched for sale with 45 tenant-ownership association apartments. The level of interest was very high and at the end of the month almost 40% of the apartments were reserved. Sales are ongoing in three more of our self-developed projects, which are currently in production. From a total of 205 apartments, 129 have been sold and 9 reserved. This is an increase of 15 sold and 3 reserved since the beginning of the quarter. In September, we also sold the last remaining terraced house in Hökälla Ängar in Gothenburg, which was completed in February.

A self-developed project comprising 174 youth apartments in Vårberg south of Stockholm was sold to NREP during the quarter. The contract includes that the apartments will be built by Wästbygg's construction organization. Production is planned to start in the fourth quarter and the project does not yet affect the result.

BUSINESS AREA RESIDENTIAL AS OF SEPTEMBER 30

MARKET SITUATION

During the first half of the year, approximately 22,400 apartments in apartment blocks were commenced, according to Statistics Sweden. That is 10% more than in the first half of 2019. There have been continued positive signals from the housing market during the beginning of the autumn. Real estate statistics show both rising tenant-ownership association prices and an increasing number of apartments sold.

After there has been a clear predominance of tenancies among the housing projects that have come on the market for a long time, tenant-ownership association projects are starting to increase again. It remains to be seen whether this trend will continue.

COMMERCIAL

The Commercial segment primarily builds commercial properties, offices and community service properties. The majority of the projects are contract assignments for external clients. The company also develops and builds its own commercial projects with an emphasis on community service properties.

Wästbygg's commercial operations are predominantly focused on the three metropolitan regions and on the company's other office locations. In cases where commercial projects are carried out elsewhere, it is primarily for repeat customers.

During the quarter, work continued on the three major retail projects Asecs in Jönköping, Härlöv's retail space in Kristianstad and Pro Stop Backa in Gothenburg, as well as on the retail property that Wästbygg is developing and building for Hornbach in Trollhättan.

In community service properties, production is underway on two nursing homes, both of which are external contract assignments, and on the self-developed sheltered housing Kv Häggen in Halmstad, which is being built for own ownership in the Inwita group company. Detailed planning work is underway for another three self-developed community service properties with production planned to commence in the next two years.

One project was completed during the quarter. A vehicle facility in Märsta north of Stockholm, which includes a car inspection facility, a tyre workshop and a special washing facility for large vehicles, has been handed over to the customer.

MARKNADSLÄGE

According to a report from Navet Analytics, the annual forecast for new office and retail construction indicates a decrease of 25% this year compared to the full year 2019. For public premises, the reduction is expected to be about 10%.

The tender requests that are being issued show that there is a continued demand for community service properties in the form of preschools, schools and retirement homes. The cultivation of this market has a high priority, both in terms of contract assignments and project development.

LOGISTICS AND INDUSTRY

Operations in Wästbygg's logistics and industry segments are conducted in the Logistic Contractor group company, with operations in Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Finland. The company specializes in developing and building large logistics and industrial facilities that are adapted to rational handling and large-scale operations in logistics and light manufacturing.

A large logistics facility, built just outside Oslo, was completed and handed over during the quarter. Two self-developed logistics facilities that are under production have been sold, but have not yet been relinquished.

Logistic Contractor has an extensive order backlog to work with that includes a number of large projects. The largest of these is the construction of Northvolt's factory in Skellefteå for the manufacture of batteries for the automotive industry. The project comprises four buildings with a total area of 103,000 sqm, i.e. approximately four normal-sized logistics projects.

The cultivation of the markets in Denmark, Norway and Finland has been partly affected by the fact that those countries have so far had greater restrictions than Sweden during the covid-19 pandemic.

A major requirement for logistics and industrial facilities has been identified in all three countries and the local organizations have been reinforced in terms of staff in order to be able to intensify their sales efforts when the countries fully reopen.

MARKET SITUATION

The logistics market has been strong for several years and the positive trend is continuing. E-commerce is one of the driving forces in this trend. According to the report E-barometer, growth in e-commerce was 49% during the second quarter of the year and the forecast for the full year 2020 is an increase of 33% compared with the previous year. The most traded goods are groceries, pharmacy items, furniture/home furnishings and home electronics.

In the future, Logistic Contractor will expand its investment in developing and building properties for light industry. According to a report from Navet Analytics, new production of industrial Catena, Åstorp

properties has developed well during the first half of the year, and the forecast for the year predicts an increase of 20% compared with last year.

NEW PROJECTS AND AGREEMENTS ENTERED INTO

  • A construction contract has been signed with Catena to build a logistics facility of 11,100 sqm in Åstorp.
  • A contract has been signed with Catena for the sale of a self-developed logistics facility in Borås.
  • A contract has been signed with Aberdeen Standard Investments for the sale of a self-developed logistics facility in Örebro.

In addition to that, significant supplemental orders have been placed in ongoing projects by Northvolt and Mathem.

Notes and other financial information

NOTE 1. ACQUISITIONS

No acquisitions were made during the period nor after the balance sheet date until the publication of this report.

NOTE 2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The interim report for the Group has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The interim report for the Parent Company has been prepared in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act.

From the financial year 2015, IFRS is applied. The accounting principles applied in the interim report are described in the annual report for 2019 on pages 83–88. Accounting principles and calculation methods for the Group, in addition to those described below, are unchanged compared with the annual report last year.

New standards applied from 1 January 2020

Other amended IFRS standards applied from 2020 have no or little impact on Wästbygg Gruppen's financial reporting.

Standards, amendments and interpretations concerning existing standards that have not yet entered into force and are not applied prematurely by the Group

As of the date of approval of this financial report, certain new standards, amendments and interpretations of existing standards that have not yet entered into force have been published by IASB. These have not been applied prematurely by the Group and the changes are not expected to have a significant impact on the financial statements during the financial year in which they are to be applied for the first time and therefore no information has been provided.

Reporting of fair value

As can be seen from the segment reporting for Commercial on page 9, the construction of a secure housing project for own management in the Inwita Fastigheter group company is in progress. The company has chosen to value investment properties and investment properties under construction at fair value in accordance with IAS 40 Investment Properties.

Classification of rights of use

Previously, rights of use in the consolidated balance sheet have been included in the item Tangible fixed assets, Inventory, tools and installations, while leasing liabilities were included in the item Other non-current liabilities and Current non-interest-bearing liabilities, Other liabilities. As of the interim report for January – September 2020, Right of use assets are reported on a separate line in the balance sheet.

Correction of errors: Consolidation of owner-occupier projects that the company is developing

The Wästbygg Group has followed the dialogue that Finansinspektionen has had during a period with listed housing developers regarding the reporting of owner-occupied projects of own development and where Finansinspektionen believes that consolidation of these owner-occupied associations should take place.

As of the interim report for the period January–June 2020, the Group therefore applies a different assessment regarding the reporting of owner-occupied projects of own development than before, and which is adapted to the assessment made by Finansinspektionen from IFRS 10 consolidated accounts. The same change has been made by the vast majority of companies working with residential development. The assessment includes both clarification of the criteria to be used to assess whether control exists and how these should be weighted against each other. This change is classified as Correction of Errors in accordance with IAS 8 Accounting Principles, changes in estimates and judgments and errors.

The change means that the owner-occupied associations for which Wästbygg has ongoing assignments within the framework of project development activities are consolidated during the production phase. The consolidated balance sheet and income statement thus include all the owner-occupied associations' assets, equity and liabilities as well as income and expenses.

Consolidating owner-occupied associations in accordance with IFRS also means that revenues and results for project development of owner-occupied flats are reported at the time when Wästbygg fulfils its performance commitment, that is when the end customer has access to the flat.

Previously, revenue recognition was applied over time, that is owner-occupied projects of own development were recognised in profit or loss in step with the progress of each project. A complete recalculation has taken place of the years 2017–2019 in this report according to the new accounting principle as well as the opening balance as of 1 January 2017. Bridges have been established for all periods to show differences between the current and previous assessment.

The change only applies to owner-occupied flats of own development and has thus only affected the Residential business area. Revenue recognition over time is applied just as before for proprietary rental properties, commercial properties and logistics and industrial facilities.

The following pages shows the reconciliation between previously used principle (Segment) recalculated to a changed principle (IFRS) in the income statement and balance sheet for the years 2020 and 2019.

NOTE 3. SEGMENT REPORTING

reporting occasion. Below is a summary of segment reporting. Income statement, balance sheet, changes in equity and cash flow analysis according to segment reporting are presented in Appendix 1 on pages 31–34 in this report.

* Distribution by geographic market is reported under section Logistics and industry on page 10.

** Segment Other consists of the parent company's operations and contains only internally invoiced revenue. The parent company's operations consist of support functions for the segments in the form of departments for finance, HR, KMA, sustainability, IT and communication as well as group management.

The transfer pricing between the operating segments takes place on market terms. Financial items and taxes are not distributed by segment, nor are they followed up by the highest executive decision-makers, which is why they have been excluded from the table above. The equivalent also applies to assets and liabilities. There is also no items affecting cash flow or separate reporting of depreciation per segment as those amounts are small.

NOTE 4. DISPUTES

The Group has discussions or disputes with customers or partners from time to time about commercial terms. In exceptional cases, this takes place in an arbitration or other legal instance. In some cases, they are evaluated by external legal representatives in consultation with internal resources. The report reflects at all times the best overall assessment that has been made, but actual outcomes may deviate as in some cases these are complex assessments.

NOTE 5. RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

The management of risks and uncertainties is an ongoing work within the Group and great focus is placed on reducing our vulnerability of various kinds. The Group's risk can primarily be divided into operational risk and financial risk. Operational risk means the risk of conducting projects with poor profitability or loss. The financial risk consists, for example, of access to capital and proper management of funds. In addition to these two, market changes, political regulations and access to the right staff at the right time also pose risks.

A more comprehensive risk analysis can be found in the company's annual report for 2019 on pages 66–70. No significant changes have taken place that have changed these reported risks. On the other hand, the covid-19 outbreak has occurred and the Company has paid special attention to how the effects of this affect and may affect future development and/or risks that may affect financial reporting in the future. The assessment is that the impact on the Company is limited, but it is impossible to get an overview of the final consequences.

NOTE 6. PARENT COMPANY AND OTHER GROUP ITEMS

The Parent Company's intra-group revenues for the quarter amounted to SEK 20 million (16) and profit after net financial items to SEK -3 million (-6).

NOTE 7. TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED COMPANIES

Wästbygg's largest owner is M2 Holding AB. M2 is owned and controlled by Rutger Arnhult, who is also a board member of this company. The M2 Group has significant direct and indirect ownership interests in Corem Property Group AB and Klövern AB.

Corem Property Group and Klövern are part of the group of related companies but are not group companies connected with Wästbygg.

NOTE 8. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Group's financial instruments essentially consist of financial assets and financial liabilities that are valued at accrued acquisition value. Financial instruments that are valued at fair value consist of currency futures and contingent purchase consideration, which amount to insignificant amounts. Further information can be found in the Group's annual report for 2019 in Note 1 Accounting Principles and Note 23 Financial Risk Management and Financial Instruments.

At the end of the period, the Group had no financial instruments.

Appendix 1

The Wästbygg Group's segment report contains alternative key ratios to describe how the business develops over time and provide an opportunity for a clearer comparison between different periods. These also follows the Group's internal reporting to company management and the Board, as the Group's assessment is that segment reporting provides a clearer picture of the Group's financial position at each individual

reporting occasion. The alternative key figures are a complement to reporting in accordance with IFRS. The difference between the two ways of reporting is described in Note 2 and concerns how tenant-owner association projects of own development are reported. Below and on the following three pages are the income statement, balance sheet, changes in equity and cash flow analysis according to segment reporting.

It started in 1981...

Wästbygg was founded in Borås in 1981. Originally, it was a local construction company, but relatively quickly the company also began to expand outside the immediate region.

STRONG POSITION IN PRIORITY MARKETS

Today, the Wästbygg Group is a construction and project development company that has long been well established in the most expansive markets in Sweden. We have our own offices in Gothenburg, Stockholm, Malmö, Borås, Jönköping, Helsingborg and Varberg, but we are also represented via the group company Logistic Contractor in our Nordic neighbours Norway, Denmark and Finland. The Wästbygg Group is listed on Nasdaq Stockholm as of 13 October 2020.

The company is primarily focused on the three segments Housing, Commercial (where community service properties are included) and Logistics and industry. We also work with project development in all segments and our expertise extends from acquisition/allocation of land to the finished property. All ongoing and completed projects are presented on our website.

SUSTAINABLE BUILDING

The Wästbygg Group's business concept is to develop and build sustainable, modern and efficient homes, commercial properties and logistics and industrial facilities in mutual trust with our clients. We take our mission as community builders very seriously. Within our area of activity, we want to contribute to a more sustainable society - ecologically, socially and economically - and thereby improve people's living environments.

Environmentally certified buildings are a way to safeguard the future. We have extensive experience of building according to the most common certification systems on the Swedish market:

the Sweden Green Building Council (Miljöbyggnad), Svanen, Breeam and Green Building. We are also certified according to the Nordic Ecolabel, which means that we have the right to label our self-developed properties with the Nordic Ecolabel.

Since the mid-1990s, we have worked with a particular focus on developing our quality and environmental work. Today we have a self-developed management system with detailed procedures and driving schedules in quality, environment and the work environment. The group company Wästbygg AB is certified according to ISO 9001, 14001 and 45001.
