COMMENTS FROM PRESIDENT AND CEO ÅSA BERGMAN:

Sweco continues to develop positively, in line with the trend from recent quarters. EBTA increased around SEK 54 million and organic growth amounted to around 5 per cent, both after adjustment for calendar effects. The improved performance is driven by positive fee development and an increased number of employees, supported by a solid order backlog. Nominally, reported EBTA and net sales were negatively improximately SEK 97 million due to less available calendar hours compared to last year.

In particular. Finland, Belgium and Norway performed strongly, combining good organic growth with provements. At the same time, Sweden continues to deliver industry leading profitability, combined with solid organic growth.

Sweco announced two strategically important add-on acquisitions during the quarter. MLM Group in the UK, adding 460 experts primarily within the building and infrastructure sectors. Imp GmbH in Germany, adding 380 experts primarily within power transmission. Both acquisitions are in line with our strategy of developing local market leadership in our eight core markets in Northern Europe.

EBITA amounted to SEK 422 million (464). EBITA increased approximately SEK 54 million year-on-year after adjustment for calendar effects. The EBITA improvement was mainly attributable to Sweden, Finland, Belgium and Norway.

Overall for the Group, a positive trend in hourly fees and an increased number of employees were the main drivers of increased FBITA

The quarter had 12 fewer working hours compared with same period last year. This had a negative year-on-year impact of approximately SEK 97 million on earnings and net sales.

The billing ratio decreased to 74.8 per cent (75.2). The billing ratio increased in Belgium, Finland and the

Netherlands, while it declined in Germany, Denmark, Sweden, Norway and the United Kingdom.

Net financial items decreased to SEK -58 million (-43) due primarily to foreign exchange revaluation effects, higher interest expenses and lower income from associated companies.

FXAMPLES OF NEW PROJECTS

A new double-track high-speed train line, roughly 70 km long, is to be constructed between Hässleholm and Lund in Sweden. Sweco has been commissioned by the Swedish Transport Administration to investigate various alternatives for the location of the new railway.

Sweco was nominated as a design group partner for the rehabilitation of the National Theater in Oslo, Norway. The project is very extensive, including rehabilitation, restoration and conservation work of the main building, with 329 rooms. The upgrade and replacement of technical facilities are also included in the project.

As engineering partner to the steel and mining company ArcelorMittal, Sweco supports the entire engineering process within the framework contract for the Torero facility in Ghent, Belgium. In the facility, wood waste will be processed into bio-carbon for use in the blast furnace process. This will give a boost to the reduction in fossil pulverised coal consumption, while also reducing CO2 emissions. The construction phase for the facility was initiated in May. When completed the facility will annually convert 120,000 tonnes of waste wood into about 50,000 tonnes of bio-coal.

MARKET

Overall, the market for Sweco's services is good and largely unchanged compared with recent quarters. Essentially all Business Areas are experiencing a good market for Sweco's services in the infrastructure, water and industry segments. Demand for services in the real estate segment remains good in most countries, with the exception of the UK and residential construction in the Nordics, where demand remains weak.

OUTLOOK

Demand for Sweco's services predominantly follows the general macroeconomic trend in Sweco's markets, with some time lag. Northern European GDP development is solid. Political uncertainty, the global macroeconomic situation and events in the financial market comprise risk factor in terms of future performance.

Sweco does not provide forecasts.

SWECO SWEDEN

SALES AND PROFIT, APRIL-JUNE

Organic growth amounted to approximately 4 per cent and EBITA increased around SEK 36 million, after adjustment for calendar effects. The order backlog, hourly fees and number of employees continued to develop positively during the quarter.

SWECO BELGIUM

SALES AND PROFIT, APRIL-JUNE

Net sales increased to SEK 352 million (271), and organic growth was 24 per cent. There was no year-on-year difference in the number of available working hours. Organic growth was primarily driven by increased revenue from subconsultants, an increased number of employees and higher average fees. Acquired growth contributed 3 per cent and pertained to the acquisitions of Planet Engineering and Nexilis.

The strong performance in Belgium improved further, with tailwind from an accommodating market. EBITA increased approximately SEK17 million. The improvement in earnings was mainly attributable to higher average fees and an increased number of employees. The recent acquisitions of Planet Engineering and Nexilis also contributed positively.

The market in Belgium is good within all market segments and the public sector building markets are strong. The industry market and public infrastructure markets are also good.

SWECO UK

SALES AND PROFIT, APRIL-JUNE

Net sales increased to SEK 291 million (225). Organic growth after adjustment for calendar effects was approximately -8 per cent. The acquisition of MLM Group contributed with acquired growth of 35 per cent. The year-on-year calendar effect of 8 fewer hours had a negative impact of approximately SEK 2 million on net sales and EBITA.

EBITA decreased to SEK 4 million (6). Performance in the UK was unsatisfactory primarily due to a low billing ratio. The decline was driven by a combination of a few large projects being put on hold in the public infrastructure sector, a temporary tender cycle decline in the water sector and Brexit uncertainty impacting demand in the London building sector. The acquisition of MLM Group, which was consolidated in Sweco UK as of May, contributed positively.

In general, the market for Sweco's services in the UK is satisfactory. Demand in the infrastructure market is good, with the exception of a limited number of projects put on hold. The water market is also fundamentally good, but temporarily impacted by the public tender cycle. The London building market is effected by Brexit-related uncertainly and reduced foreign investment, and the energy generation market remains weak.

SWECO GERMANY & CENTRAL EUROPE

SALES AND PROFIT, APRIL-JUNE

Net sales increased to SEK 438 million (387). Organic growth after adjustment for calendar effects was approximately 11 per cent. Organic growth was primarily driven by an increased number of employees. The year-on-year calendar effect of 7 fewer hours had a negative impact of approximately SEK 4 million on net sales and EBITA.

EBITA decreased to SEK 18 million (25) and the EBITA margin declined to 4.1 per cent (6.4). The decline in EBITA was attributable to negative project adjustments in Poland and due to a weaker development in the German operations.

Sweco Germany has grown with double digit percentages, both organically and through acquisitions over the last few years. To manage this increase in business, the organisation has been strengthened to position Sweco Germany for further growth. Costs and a lower billing ratio associated with this transition impacted EBITA. Moreover, higher project adjustments have also impacted EBITA negatively.

The German market is good overall and is developing positively. The construction market for healther and the commercial buildings markets are good. Demand is strong in the transport and environmental sector due to public investment, and power transmission continues to be a good market, while power generation remains challenging.

The Lithuanian market has stabilised, and the Czech market is improving, with satisfactory demand for Sweco's services. The Polish market is developing positively with increasing investments in energy, transportation and water.

OTHER INFORMATION

PARENT COMPANY, JANUARY-JUNE 2019

Parent Company net sales totalled SEK 382 million (355) and were attributable to intra-group services. Profit after net financial items totalled SEK 224 million (200). Investments in equipment totalled SEK 17 million (12). Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the period totalled SEK 139 million (221).

ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES

Sweco complies with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and interpretive statements from the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC), as adopted by the EU. This interim report was prepared in accordance with IAS 34, Interim Reporting; the Swedish Annual Accounts Act; and the Swedish Financial Reporting Board's RFR 2, Reporting for Legal Entities.

From 1 January 2019, Sweco is applying one new IFRS standard: IFRS 16, Leases. The accounting principles for this standard are described in Note 1 of the Annual Report for 2018 on page 57. In all other respects, the Group applies the same accounting and valuation principles as those described in Note 1 in the Annual Report for 2018.

In this interim report, amounts in brackets refer to the corresponding period of the previous year. Because table items are individually rounded off, table figures do not always tally. The interim report comprises pages 1-18; the interim financial information presented on pages 1-18 is therefore part of this financial report.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES FOR 2019

Sweco is applying IFRS 16 Leases, the new standard for lease accounting, as of 1 January 2019. Under IFRS 16 essentially all leases are recognised in the balance sheet, since finance leases and operating leases are no longer treated differently, as was the case under the previous standard IAS 17. Sweco has chosen the full retrospective transition method and has accordingly accounted for all lease contracts as if IFRS 16 had always been applied. The comparative figures for 2018 have been restated.

Sweco will not be applying IFRS 16 at the Business Area level. Segment reporting for 2019 will therefore remain unchanged from 2018. Additional information regarding Sweco's application of IFRS 16 can be found in the Annual report for 2018 on pages 56-57 and in the press release dated 12 April 2019.

The consolidated financial statements for 2018, including the opening balance on 1 January 2018, have been restated for IFRS 16. To facilitate the analysis of financial development, Sweco has adjusted the presentation of the financial statements by adding new line items.

In the income statement, as presented in the interim reports, the financial net has been divided into three items to facilitate the analysis of lease liabilities and other interest-bearing liabilities:

· Net financial items: Comprises interest expenses on credit facilities and other costs related to credit facilities less interest income on cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments

•Interest cost of leasing: Comprises the interest cost of leasing pursuant to IFRS 16.

•Other financial items: Result and distributions from participations in associated companies and other securities, result from the sale of participations in associated companies and other securities, foreign exchange gains and losses on financial assets and liabilities, and other interest income and interest expenses.

KEY PERFORMANCE MEASURES

Sweco follows the guidelines from ESMA (European Securities and Markets Authority) regarding APMs (Alternative Performance Measures). In brief, these are measures of historical or ongoing operating results and financial performance that are not specified or defined in IFRS. The presentation of non-IFRS financial measures is limited as an analytical tool and should not be used as a substitute for key ratios pursuant to IFRS. Sweco believes that the APMs will enhance investors' evaluation of our ongoing operating results, aid in forecasting future periods and facilitate meaningful comparison of results between periods. The non-IFRS financial measures presented in this report may differ from similarly titled measures used by other companies. A complete list of all Sweco's definitions can be found on our website: http://www.sweco.se/en/IR/definitions/

The adoption of IFRS 16 has a significant impact on the presentation of financial statements. There will be a significant increase in both assets and liabilities and a decrease in other expenses, and a corresponding increase in depreciation and interest expenses. Sweco has chosen to maintain its key financial metrics close to previous definitions, producing minor differences to previously presented values. The objective is to facilitate comparability with previous periods and provide transparency regarding Sweco's operational performance and the Group's financial strength, apart from the accounting effects of IFRS 16. Under this approach, Sweco's targets for profitability (EBITA margin of 12 per cent) and financial strength (a Net debt/EBITDA ratio of less than 2.0 x) also remain unchanged.

Sweco's key financial metrics, defined as Alternative Performance Measures (APMs) in accordance with IFRS, are EBITA and Net debt/EBITDA.

EBITA is the Group's key metric for operational performance at Group and BA level. Sweco's EBITA measure is defined as Earnings Before Interest, Taxes and Acquisition-related items. All leases are treated as operating leases and the total cost of the lease affects EBITA. Operating lease treatment follows IAS 17 (the standard for leases applicable through 31 December 2018).

Net debt/EBITDA is Sweco's key metric for financial strength. The definition remains essentially in line with the covenants defined in Sweco's bank financing agreements. Net debt is defined as net financial debt (comprised almost exclusively of interest-bearing bank debt) less cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments. Lease liabilities are excluded from Net debt. As with the calculation of EBITA, when calculating EBITDA all leases are assumed to compromise operating leases pursuant to IAS 17.

The reconciliation of Sweco's key financial metrics, described above, and IFRS measures is presented on page 12. Organic growth calculation is presented on page 17.
