The second quarter of the year – as well as the summer that is now drawing to a close – were pervaded by the global situation caused by the corona pandemic. For us, the pandemic had a direct effect with the sale of Karlatornet not being possible to complete as planned. Nor have we yet seen the full impact of the uncertainty caused by the pandemic on society in general. Fortunately, our industry has yet to be affected to the same extent as others. Housing prices, for example, have held a relatively stable level despite the economic downturn.
I can say with some confidence that we responded dynamically and quickly, realigning our organization and adapting to a more uncertain existence. This has involved measures directly associated with the pandemic, including short-term furloughs, as well as longer-term efficiencyenhancement measures, including reducing the workforce by about 100 jobs. Considerable focus was devoted to implementing these measures during the quarter. The organization rallied superbly behind our approach of prioritizing profitability.
Although we have by no means finished. We envisage this process taking several years. Nor do we expect our initial measures to be immediately reflected in our numbers. As we have said previously, the measures will not reach their full, anticipated impact until 2021. We have nonetheless been resolute and vigorous in our response and our approach holds strong. At this very moment, we are building a stronger Serneke.
Over the quarter, we saw some loss of volumes, partly due to construction starts being postponed because of the pandemic, with our sales of SEK1,393million (1,616) being approximately 14percent down on the corresponding period last year. Our operating loss of SEK139million (0) was affected by non-recurring costs of SEK145million attributable to our realignment of the organization, primarily within our civil engineering and project development operations, including staff cuts affecting about 85 people and increased provisions for risks and disputes in our projects. Over the quarter, we continued working proactively to achieve the financing solution needed if we are to be able to resume full production at Karlatornet. We have good hopes of soon being able to resume construction, with as brief a lead-up as possible, minimizing the impact on the schedule.
Our cash and cash equivalents, including unutilized credit facilities, stand at SEK450million, down SEK137million on the end of this year's first quarter. To a great extent, this is
linked to sales falling slightly over the quarter, as well as to costs for the Karlastaden project.
During the quarter, our record-high order backlog of SEK11,072million, was further strengthened by order bookings for SEK1,851million. A number of new contracts in housing, educational facilities and other societal functions show that extensive underlying need remains in the market, and that we are in demand as a contractor. We have a longterm order backlog, affording us favorable stability for the future.
During the quarter, we also extended a bond loan by 18 months, eliminating the liquidity commitment set out in the previous terms. Looking ahead, this contributes both to stability and flexibility, while also demonstrating the market's confidence in our business.
After many years focusing strongly on growth, our company is now at a phase in which we are working extensively to build for the next stage in the Company's development. We have now launched our new business plan, which extends until 2025. In this, we set out a clear approach for first generating profitability and stability while retaining our strong corporate culture and then developing our offering and identifying attractive new markets, both in Sweden and around the world. For me, this new business plan expresses clearly that not only are we a company with the energy to quickly become one of the largest players in the market, but that we are also able to act thoughtfully and wisely, while taking heed of the challenges facing us. Our journey towards our long-term objectives continues – becoming a community builder able to make a difference for human health, well-being and a sustainable future. While we have not altered our course, we are now adjusting our pace and setting out a clear strategy for achieving our objectives.

External order bookings amounted to SEK1,851million (2,663) for the quarter. Despite the prevailing uncertainty in the market caused by the ongoing pandemic, the Group continues to secure numerous new projects around Sweden. Assignments secured during the quarter largely comprise public properties, such as schools/preschools and sheltered housing, but also a number of residential projects with an emphasis on rental apartments. The largest individual order during the quarter was valued at SEK200million, comprising production of rental apartments in Stockholm.
While market development remains uncertain, 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 second quarter, the external order backlog was at its highest to date, amounting to SEK11,072million (7,149). This entails an increase of 55percent compared with the corresponding quarter last year.

Consolidated income amounted to SEK1,393million (1,616), a decrease of 14percent. Income from the contracting operations fell by 9percent, amounting to SEK1,517million (1,666). The decrease is mainly attributable to lower activity in the civil engineering operations. Income from project development during the quarter amounted to SEK20million (26), with no housing cooperative projects being handed over to clients.
The operating loss amounted to SEK139million (0) and was negatively affected by ongoing structural changes in our civil engineering and project development operations, as well as by continuing expenditure associated with our cost-cutting program.
Net financial items were negative in the amount of SEK8million (3). During the quarter, borrowing expenses of SEK11million (2) on project properties were capitalized.
The Group reported an estimated tax expense of SEK33million (1). The positive tax effect is primarily explained by deferred tax related to tax loss carryforwards.
The loss for the period amounted to SEK114million (2) and earnings per share after dilution for the quarter were a negative SEK5.08 (0.09).
Consolidated income for the first half of the year amounted to SEK3,207million (3,096), an increase of 4percent. The contracting operations reduced income by 3percent to SEK3,092million (3,181). Income from project development amounted to SEK447million (55), with the increase being attributable to three housing cooperative projects having been handed over to the clients during the first quarter, contributing income of SEK390million (0).
The operating loss amounted to SEK288million (18) and was negatively affected by ongoing structural changes in our civil engineering and project development operations, as well as by continuing expenditure associated with our cost-cutting program.
Net financial items were negative in the amount of SEK13million (13). During the period, borrowing expenses of SEK25million (4) on project properties were capitalized.
The Group reported an estimated tax expense of SEK81million (3). The positive tax effect is attributable partly to the Group not having taxable income and a change in deferred tax related to tax loss carryforwards.
The loss for the period amounted to SEK220million (profit 8) and the loss per share after dilution was SEK9.81 (profit 0.35) for the period.

The SEK500million credit facility at Nordea carries one covenant, requiring the Group to maintain an equity/assets ratio of 25percent and another requiring that net debt in relation to EBITDA not exceed a multiple of 2.5. On the reporting date of June 30, 2020, the equity/assets ratio was 34.7percent and the debt /equity ratio was negative. For this, Nordea has waived the covenant in the credit facility agreement. The waiver is valid until the next reference date, September 30, 2020.
One of the Group's financial targets is for the equity/assets ratio to exceed 25percent.
The liquidity reserve shall amount to at least 5percent of income in the past 12-month period.

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.

The operations of Serneke Group AB (publ) consist mainly of Group Management and Group-wide services.
Income for April – June amounted to SEK12million (44) and consisted primarily of intra-Group services. The decrease in revenues is explained by the ongoing reorganization in which the central functions are being cut back. Operating profit for the same period amounted to SEK8million (4).
Income for the period January – June amounted to SEK49million (88), with the operating loss amounting to SEK4million (5).
The Parent Company is indirectly affected by the risks described in the section Significant risks and uncertainty factors.
The nature and extent of transactions by related parties can be found in Note 36 of the 2019 Annual Report. During the year, related-party transactions have taken place with property company Adapta AB, Ludwig Mattson, Ola Serneke Invest AB, Ludwig Matsson, JV Sersund AB and associate Änglagården. Transactions with related parties have been made on market terms.
Transactions with Adapta AB are considered to constitute related-party transactions since the principal owner, Ludwig Matsson, is a member of the Board of Serneke Group. These transactions mainly comprised construction income and rental of Serneke's headquarters, with income amounting to SEK1million and purchases to SEK6million as of June 30, 2020. Transactions have also been conducted with private individual Ludwig Matsson regarding construction income of SEK3million. Transactions with Ola Serneke Invest AB are considered to be related party transactions, as Ola Serneke is the principal owner, CEO and a member of the Board of Serneke Group AB. As of June 30, 2020, income primarily comprised rent and amounted to SEK2million. Transactions with JV Sersund AB comprised construction income of SEK33million. Transactions with associate Änglagården consist mainly of contracted personnel, rental of premises, as well as rental of the venue name, with income amounting to SEK2million and purchases to SEK8million on June 30, 2020.
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 and, at the end of the second quarter, was considered adequate in relation to future needs. Should the situation or assessment change, contingencies are in place to safeguard the continued financing of the operations.
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 2019 Annual Report. The descriptions in the Annual Report remain relevant. The Annual Report is published at www.serneke.group.
On June 24, the terms were approved for extending the maturity of the bonds by 18 months until December 1, 2022. Among other things, the new terms also entail a liquidity undertaking (financial covenant) being removed and SEK200million being repaid by June 1, 2021. The amended terms are available on the Company's website https://ir.serneke.se/sv/obligationslan.
In July, a lawsuit was filed against Serneke by municipal housing company Upplands-Brohus. The dispute concerns the delivery of 178 rental apartments in Upplands-Bro, which were ready for tenants to move in at the end of 2017. According to the customer, Upplands-Brohus, there were shortcomings in the delivery and scheduling of the project. In Serneke's view, however, construction was executed in accordance with the contract. In its lawsuit, the customer seeks damages and costs totaling approximately SEK152million. Serneke has received the subpoena and will now prepare its defense, with proceedings not expected to commence in the District Court before 2021.
Serneke Group AB has two share series, Series A and B. On June 30, 2020, Serneke had approximately 7,700 shareholders and the closing price on June 30, 2020 was SEK47.3.

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 2019 Annual Report, with the addition of IAS 20 as detailed below. For detailed information regarding accounting policies, see Serneke's 2019 Annual Report, see www.serneke.se.
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 and support for short-term work.
Serneke has chosen to report support for short-term work under Other income (SEK8million). 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 SEK276million, which is reported under current interest-bearing liabilities.
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 2019 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.

* 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.
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 Group pledges collateral for external loans. The Group's contingent liabilities arise primarily in connection with different property disposals, whereby various operational guarantees may occur, as well as performance guarantees for future contracts. Serneke Group AB (publ) has also
entered into a guarantee undertaking, which means that the co-owners in Prioritet Serneke Arena are jointly responsible for the correct fulfillment of interest and repayment of the associate's liabilities to credit institutions in the event that the associate is unable to pay.

Income from contracting agreements 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 project's final forecasts entail corrections of previously accumulated earnings. If it is probable that the total contract expenses will exceed the total contract income, the anticipated loss should be immediately recognized as a cost in its entirety. Additional orders and amendments are included in the income from the assignment to the extent that they are approved by the customer.
On disposal of properties or development rights directly or indirectly through a sale of shares, the underlying property or development right's value is recognized in the Group as income. Income from property sales is reported at the time at which the new owner takes possession. When contracts include property sales, development rights and construction contracting to the buyer of the planned building, an assessment is made regarding whether the property and/or development rights transactions and the construction contract are separate performance undertakings. Depending on the design and terms of the
agreement, the sale can be seen as one or several performance undertakings. Sales are reported at the point in time at which control is transferred to the buyer. Control is transferred over time if the seller has no alternative use for the property sold and the seller is entitled to payment from the customer for the work performed. In such cases, income is reported 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. Property projects are also on occasion sold with guarantees for a certain degree of leasing and, at the time of sale, any lease guarantees are reported as a reserve in the project, which then has a positive effect on thepercentage of completion as leases are signed.
Income also includes rental income, which is to be considered as operating leasing. Rental income is invoiced in advance and recognized on a straight-line basis in the income statement based on the terms of the lease agreements. Advance rent is reported as prepaid rental income. In cases where the rental contract allows a reduced rent for a certain period of time, which is compensated for by higher rent during another period, this is allocated across the term of the contract.
Other income refers to income not classified as construction income, sales of properties and
development rights or rental income, including, for example, hotel income or income from central companies.
