Comments from the CEO

Sales to consumers continued to increase in all segments except for St. Petersburg-Baltics. We have seen a gradual improvement in Sweden during the year and sales to consumers tripled compared to the previous year. The demand from investors is also still on a high level although the transactions occur unevenly throughout the year. Units in ongoing production is stable and even though we started relatively few units during the second quarter, more starts are planned for the remaining year.

Housing units sold totalled 1,038 (1,263), and we started construction of 499 (1,440) new housing units. We have 10,121 (10,178) housing units in production with a sales rate of 70 (72) per cent. Net sales totalled SEK 2,758 M (2,773). Operating profit was SEK 182 M (306). Cashflow before financing was SEK 21 M (–358).

GOOD DEMAND FOR BONAVA'S HOUSING

There are c. 35 million inhabitants in the regions in Germany where Bonava is active, and the trend indicates that more people want to own their homes rather than renting. Bonava is continuing to grow in Germany, and the number of housing units in production increased by 13 per cent. Demand for our housing units is high, as evidenced by the 80 per cent sales rate. In the quarter, Bonava was recognised as Germany's most active developer 2018 for the seventh year running. The number of housing starts is expected to decrease slightly this year, as it takes time for the authorities to process planning applications and building permits. Net sales increased in Germany with improved profitability.

In Sweden, the housing market remained cautious even if we're now seeing signs of the market stabilising. While construction is expected to decrease in Sweden, we're also seeing increased house price optimism. In June, we launched new market-adapted prices for the Kristineberg development in Stockholm, which contributed to increased sales. We can conclude that there is considerable interest in our housing. Profitability decreased in the second quarter due to the hand-over of housing units in price-adjusted projects in Stockholm, while housing units were handed over at margins above average in the second quarter of last year.

The housing markets in Nordic vary. In Norway, demand is good, while the supply of new apartments in Bonava's regions in Finland and Denmark is high at the same time as demand has slowed. Net sales and profit decreased year-on-year.

In St. Petersburg and the Baltics, demand is good and prices are stable. A large number of housing units were handed over in the quarter, which contributed to strong profit and cashflow.

SOLID PLATFORM FOR VALUE CREATION

Conclusively we have seen a good demand for Bonava's housing with a positive sales development in the quarter. An increased focus on sales and marketing activities have shown results. Our strategy of being active on multiple markets and focusing on both consumers and investors contributes to increased flexibility and the ability to allocate capital and resources to locations where they generate the most value. At present, we're facing some challenges in Nordic and Sweden, while Germany continues to indicate strong potential for future growth.

Market progress

The market for new production of housing units has grown on the markets were Bonava is active in recent years, and favourable macroeconomic and demographic factors have resulted in increased demand for new production. In the last five years, investments in new productions increased by over 25 per cent in the EU and total investments amounted to EUR 316 Bn (312) in 20181). More than 90 per cent of Bonava's net sales in 2018 were derived from Germany, Sweden, Finland, Denmark and Norway. Investments on these markets have increased in recent years, and in 2018 investments in new production on these markets totalled EUR 98 Bn (95). In the last five years, investments increased most in Germany, Sweden and Denmark.

PROGRESS IN THE QUARTER

The housing market in Germany is strong with good demand and stable prices. The high construction rate in Germany has created delays to the processing of planning applications and building permits by the authorities. In Sweden, the housing market has somewhat stabilised. A high proportion of price-reduced new build housing units in Stockholm was recorded in April. Supply is expected to decrease in Sweden, and house price indices suggest price optimism. In Finland, the housing market is somewhat cautious with increased volumes of new production apartments for sale at the same time as economic growth is expected to slow down. In Denmark, volumes sold have been affected by new amortisation regulations and uncertainty regarding future property taxation. The housing market in Norway is stable. The markets in St. Petersburg and the Baltics were stable with good demand and positive price growth in the period. In the long term, a stable price development is expected. The demand from investors is still on a high level across all our segments.

APRIL–JUNE 2019 Operational performance

Net sales

Net sales were in-line with the corresponding quarter previous year and amounted to SEK 2,758 M (2,773).

In the quarter, 706 (663) housing units for consumers were recognised for profit, with net sales of SEK 2,212 M (2,262). The average price per housing unit was SEK 3.1 M (3.4). The decrease is due to more housing units recognised for profit in St. Petersburg–Baltics compared to the corresponding quarter in the previous year when more housing units were recognised for profit in Sweden.

During the quarter, the number of housing units for investors recognised for profit in Germany, Sweden and Nordic was 163 (212), net sales amounted to SEK 371 M (300). The average price per housing unit was SEK 2.3 M (1.4). The increase is attributable to a higher average price per housing unit in Germany and Nordic, in combination with no housing units delivered to investors in Sweden in the previous year.

Exchange rate fluctuations had a positive impact of SEK 56 M on consolidated net sales in year-on-year terms.

Operating profit

Operating profit for the period was SEK 182 M (306). The decrease was mainly attributable to a lower profit from consumers in Sweden and Nordic. Profit from land sales amounted to SEK 62 M (93).

Exchange rate fluctuations had a positive impact of SEK 7 M on operating profit in year-on-year terms.

Net financial items, tax and profit for the period

Net financial items were SEK –22 M(–36). The improvement was due to decreased borrowing in roubles.

Profit after financial items in the quarter was SEK 160 M (270). Tax on profit for the quarter was SEK –41 M (–58), corresponding to a tax rate of 25 (22) per cent.

Profit for the period after tax amounted to SEK 120 M (212).

JANUARY–JUNE 2019 Operational performance Net sales

Net sales amounted to SEK 5,595 M (4,411). The increase was due to higher net sales from both consumers and investors.

In the period, 1,743 (1,234) housing units for consumers were recognised for profit, with net sales of SEK 4,570 M (3,747). The average price per housing unit for consumers was SEK 2.6 M (3.0). The decrease is due to more housing units recognised for profit in St. Petersburg–Baltics where the average price per housing unit is lower.

The number of housing units for investors recognised for profit in Germany, Sweden and Nordic was 394 (212), net sales amounted to SEK 839 M (301). The average price per housing unit was SEK 2.1 M (1.4). The increase was due to higher average price per housing unit in Germany and Nordic in combination with no housing units in Sweden delivered to investors in the previous year.

Exchange rate fluctuations had a positive impact of SEK 114 M on consolidated net sales in year-on-year terms.

Operating profit

Operating profit for the period was SEK 347 M (349). Higher profit from both consumers and investors was offset by lower profit from land sales, which amounted to SEK 62 M (154).

Exchange rate fluctuations had a positive impact of SEK 6 M on operating profit in year-on-year terms.

Net financial items, tax and profit for the period

Net financial items were SEK –53 M (–76). The improvement was due to decreased borrowing in roubles.

Profit after financial items in the period was SEK 294 M (273). Tax on profit for the period was SEK –74 M (–59), corresponding to a tax rate of 25 (22) per cent.

Profit for the period after tax amounted to SEK 220 M (214).

Financial position, investments and cash flow

TOTAL ASSETS

Total assets were SEK 23,936 M (22,381). The increase was primarily due to a higher volume of ongoing housing projects and more completed housing units.

Distribution of assets

NET DEBT

Net debt amounted to SEK 7,272 M (5,607). Swedish tenant-owner associations and Finnish housing companies had a net debt of SEK 4,712 M (5,356) in total, whereby SEK 1,204 M (1,162) related to financing via parent company credit facilities directly attributable to Swedish tenant-owner associations.

Consolidated net debt for other operations was SEK 2,559 M (251). Net debt was up on the previous year, mainly due to net investments in housing projects. As of 31 March 2019, net debt amounted to SEK 7,031 M. Net debt excluding effects from IFRS 16 Leases amounted to SEK 6,896 M. See Note 1 and Note 5 for more information.

Net debt

CAPITAL EMPLOYED AND RETURN ON CAPITAL EMPLOYED

Return on capital employed was 11.8 per cent (11.3). The increased return was due to higher average operating profit, excluding interest expense which partly was offset by a higher average capital employed, which amounted to SEK 14,833 M (12,364) at the end of the period. Capital employed increased due to higher volumes of ongoing housing projects and an increase in completed housing units. As of 31 March 2019, capital employed amounted

to SEK 14,998 M. Excluding the effects of IFRS 16 Leases, capital employed was SEK 14,460 M at the end of the period, and return on capital employed was 11.9 per cent.

EQUITY/ASSETS AND DEBT/EQUITY RATIO

As of 30 June 2019, the equity/assets ratio was 29.9 per cent (28.7). Bonava's equity/assets ratio is affected by seasonal fluctuations as the company's assets and liabilities increase in the first three quarters of the year and then decrease in the fourth quarter, when a large number of housing units are handed over to customers and recognised for profit. The debt/equity ratio was 1.0 (0.9).

CASH FLOW

APRIL–JUNE 2019

Cash flow before financing was SEK 21 M (–358) in the quarter. Cash flow from operating activities before changes in working capital was down in the quarter year-on-year. This was due to decreased profit after financial items.

Cash flow from sales of housing projects was in line with the corresponding period in the previous year. Investments in housing projects decreased in Sweden and Nordic.

Cash flow from changes in other working capital was higher because prior accrued expenses were not settled to the same extent as the previous year, however, this was partly offset by a lower cash flow from customer advances.

JANUARY–JUNE 2019

Cash flow before financing was SEK –1,074 M (–1,132). Cash flow from operating activities before changes in working capital was down, mainly due to higher taxes paid compared to the corresponding period in the previous year.

Sales of housing projects increased, mainly in Germany, Sweden and Nordic, whilst investments were in-line with the previous year.

Cash flow from changes in other working capital was lower due to decreased cash flow from customer advances in Germany, Sweden and Nordic.

Cash flow before financing

SEASONAL EFFECTS

Bonava recognises revenues and earnings from housing sales when sold and completed 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 illustrated on page 10 in the graphs showing estimated completions per quarter.

Housing sales, housing starts and building rights

APRIL–JUNE 2019

Housing sales and housing starts

In the quarter, 912 (856) housing units were sold to consumers and 126 (407) housing units were sold to investors. Sales to consumers increased in all segments with the exception of St. Petersburg-Baltics. The average price for housing units sold to consumers increased to SEK 3.1 M (2.5), due to higher proportion of total Group sales taking place in Sweden. In addition, average housing prices in Germany increased. In the quarter, 373 (1,033) housing units were started for consumers and 126 (407) housing units were started for investors. The total number of production starts decreased mainly in Germany and St. Petersburg-Baltics in the comparable quarter year-on-year.

JANUARY–JUNE 2019

Housing sales and housing starts

In the period, 1,643 (1,558) housing units were sold to consumers and 126 (407) housing units were sold to investors. Sales to consumers mainly increased in Sweden compared to the corresponding period in the previous year. The average price for housing units sold to consumers increased to SEK 2.8 M (2.4), due to more housing units sold in Sweden and an increase in average housing prices in Germany. In the period, 1,096 (1,252) housing units were started for consumers and 126 (407) housing units were started for investors. The total number of production starts decreased mainly in Germany and Sweden compared to the corresponding period in the previous year.

SIGNIFICANT RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

Bonava's operations are exposed to several types of risk, 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 insurance function is responsible for Group-wide nonlife 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.

1) The total number of shares repurchased as of 30 June 2019 was 815,061 (815,061).

Bonava's business model and the agreement structure of housing projects mean that control is transferred to the buyer at the time of handover of the housing unit or project. This means that Bonava satisfies the undertaking to transfer the housing unit or project upon handover and recognises revenue and profit from sales of housing projects fully 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.

Because Bonava appoints a majority of 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.

Because tenant-owner associations and housing companies are consolidated in full, Bonava's net debt increases, as interest-bearing liabilities attributable to Swedish tenant-owner associations and Finnish housing companies constitute material amounts. See note 3 for more information.

Notes for the Group

NOTE 1 Accounting policies

This Half-year 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. The accounting policies applied in the preparation of this Half-year Report, with the exception of IFRS 16 Leases which is described below, apply to all periods and comply with the accounting policies presented in Note 1 Significant accounting policies in Bonava's Annual Report 2018, pages 98-102. The Annual Report is available at www. bonava.com.

IFRS 16 Leases applies from 1 January 2019 and regulates the reporting of lease contracts. All contracts are reported as lease contracts in the consolidated accounts where Bonava essentially has the right to all the economic benefits from the leased asset and where Bonava has the right to control the leased asset.

Lease contracts are reported in the Balance Sheet. The right of use of a leased asset is reported either as current assets (ongoing housing projects) or non-current assets (property, plant and equipment) depending on how the leased asset had been classified if it had been owned. Bonava reports rental agreements for land (Ongoing housing projects) as lease contracts when a detailed blueprint has been produced or building rights can no longer be appealed. Before such time, Bonava does not have control of the land and therefore has no rights or obligations relating to the land.

The obligation to pay lease charges is reported as a non-current or current financial liability depending on the duration of the contract. Leasing expenses are reported as depreciation and interest expenses in the Income Statement.

With regard to completed unsold housing units, Bonava has certain commitments to Swedish tenant-owner associations, Finnish housing companies and other parties relating to payment of membership fees or rent. The intention is to divest these completed unsold housing units immediately, which means that these commitments are not reported as lease contracts.

Bonava uses the implied interest rate for land lease contracts; for remaining lease contracts Bonava uses the marginal borrowing rate determined by factors such as geographical market and maturity. In connection with the transition to IFRS 16 Leases, the non-weighted average marginal borrowing rate was 3.80%.

The term of the contracts is determined in contractual start and end dates. Bonava has essentially chosen not to consider the possibility of extending lease contracts as this is not financially beneficial because the assets are not business-critical or specialised, and other suitable alternatives are judged to be available. In addition, the costs associated with not extending contracts, such as costs of negotiation, relocalization and identifying other appropriate measures are deemed to be immaterial.

Bonava is not party to any financial lease contracts in the capacity of lessor.

See Note 5 and Annual Report for 2018 for more information about the effect of the transition to IFRS 16 Leases.

As previously, operating segments in Bonava are based on geographical areas, the nature of the products and services as well as similar revenue streams. The prior segments Germany and Sweden are unchanged while a decision has been made as from 1 January 2019 to consolidate the segments Denmark-Norway and Finland to a new segment called Nordic. In addition, operations in Estonia and Latvia have been merged with St. Petersburg in the new St. Petersburg-Baltics segment. Comparable figures are available at www.bonava.com.

No other changes to IFRS or IFRIC interpretations are expected to have any material impact on Bonava.

NOTE 4 Fair value of financial instruments

The following table presents disclosures about the measurement of fair value for financial instruments that are continuously measured at fair value in Bonava's Balance Sheet. The fair value measurement divides assets into three levels. No transfers between levels were made in the period.

Bonava has no financial instruments in levels 1 and 3. Derivatives in level 2 comprise of currency forwards where the measurement at fair value is based on published forward rates on an active market.

Derivatives 21 8 49
Total assets 21 8 49
Derivatives 23 67 1
Total liabilities 23 67 1

The fair value of non-current and current interest-bearing liabilities does not differ from the carrying amount. 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.

NOTE 5 Leases

As of 31 December 2018, operating lease commitments amounted to SEK 582 M according to the Annual Report. Bonava does not apply the exemption relating to short-term lease contracts, and the longest contracts have a term of 30 years, thus an average term of 17 years has been applied to the calculation for the settlement of present value of operating lease expenses according to the Annual Report 2018 and the opening balance of lease liabilities according to IFRS 16, Leases. The marginal borrowing rate is determined on the basis of geographical market and term; the average interest rate was 3.80% as of 1 January 2019. Bonava's financial lease liabilities as of 31 December 2018 were of minor value. As indicated in the accounting principles, there are no renewal options that can be exercised with reasonable certainty or materially variable indexor price-linked lease payments. The discounted amount thereby amounts to SEK 427 M, corresponding to the lease liability of SEK 427 M reported as of 1 January 2019.
