CEO STATEMENT

The beginning of 2019 was characterized by a continued slowdown in the market in terms of housing construction. Despite a growing population and extensive housing shortage in our growth regions, the number of homes entering construction is decreasing according to forecasts. I believe that this development is basically positive since we now can go from an uncontrolled price increase to a situation with more normal levels and a healthier competition for staff and subcontractors.

Despite a slowdown in the housing segment we see an underlying need for housing, necessary investments in infrastructure, as well as an extensive demand for public service properties and commercial premises. Add to this relatively strong public finances and an order book that remains strong in our company. This means that we feel confident about the future, all things considered.

The order bookings in the first quarter amounted to SEK 1,177 million, a small increase compared with the same period the year before (1,128), which shows that we can compensate for the decline in the housing segment through a strong offering in our business areas. We are continuing our focus on large projects in collaboration with the client – agreements that enable better projects, but are reflected in the order book by a delay. During the quarter, we among other things signed a collaborative agreement in Arvika in our newly established Region Central and began an initial construction contract in our long collaboration on the development of the Swedish Exhibition & Congress Centre in Gothenburg.

The Group's revenues amounted to SEK 1,480 million (1,485) in the first quarter of the year and our operating profit ended up at SEK 18 million.

In Business Area Construction, where growth amounted to 6 percent in the quarter and the operating margin was nearly 2 percent, the declining economy was the main explanation of the lower figures. A wait-and-see attitude in the market has meant that some large projects have not gotten started as planned.

Business Area Civil Engineering, which has been marked by strong growth for some time, increased in the first quarter of 2019 by 12 percent. New initiatives in the organization to

meet society's major upcoming investments in infrastructure have negatively impacted earnings.

Within Project Development, both earnings and operating profit were impacted by changed accounting policies regarding housing development through tenant-owners' associations and unrealized transactions during the quarter. Here, the on-going work on optimization and restructuring of the Karlastaden project was in focus during the quarter.

For Business Area Property Management, the divestment of the Säve property meant that a large asset that generated income has disappeared and thereby impacted sales.

For the continuation of 2019, we will focus on profitability, cost control and utilizing the synergies between our business areas that give us the possibility to work in the entire value chain in construction and property development. The work of optimizing the Karlastaden project and moving on with an implementation will be another focus area. We also continue our long-term work to set a clear strategy and direction ahead. An important part of this will of course be continuing to develop our offering to our current and future employees. For the next generation of builders, the trend towards greater diversity and sustainability is a clear direction in society in general. There, as a company, we have to strive to lead the way to create condition for our own sustainable growth and a better society.

Ola Serneke. President and CEO

GROUP DEVELOPMENT

ORDER BOOKINGS AND ORDER BACKLOG

Order bookings in the first quarter amounted to SEK 1,177 million (1,128), an increase of 4 percent compared with the corresponding quarter of the preceding year. The order bookings for the period are mainly attributable to Construction, which was allocated several assignments in housing and public buildings.

The market is deemed to continue to be stable and there is an underlying need for both housing and public buildings, although the Group is perceiving a slowdown in some segments. Stockholm, Gothenburg and Malmö and their environs continue to be the Group's most important markets, even though the Group is expanding geographically to regional growth regions. The Group is working with the strategy to increase the number of collaborative agreements. These agreements are only included in order bookings when the project planning stage has been passed and the project shifts to

the production phase. A few new collaboration agreements were signed in the quarter. In addition, the Group was allocated preliminary land allocations, statements of intent and collaboration agreements with the ambition of developing these construction projects in the future.

The Group's order backlog at the end of the first quarter amounted to SEK 5,973 million (7,671). At the beginning of 2019, the Group changed an accounting policy that means that our tenant-owner apartment projects are now consolidated, which means that the order backlog from these projects had been removed. It has had a negative impact on the order backlog in an amount of SEK 407 million.

JANUARY-MARCH 2019

Consolidated income amounted to SEK 1,480 million (1,485), a decrease of less than 1 percent compared with the corresponding quarter in the preceding year. Mainly two factors had a negative impact on sales. The repurchase of the remaining shares in the Karlastaden project means that income for this project is now fully eliminated and that the Group changed an accounting policy in Project Development where revenue is recognized in the tenant-owner apartment projects in connection with completion of the units. These two factors have not been fully compensated by other growth in the Group. In the quarter, Construction and Civil Engineering increased their income while PD and Property Development had negative growth.

Operating profit decreased during the quarter, and amounted to SEK 18 million (52). Construction generated a profit of SEK 26 million (35), Civil Engineering generated a break-even, while the other

business areas had losses for the period. The previous year's profit included a positive non-recurring effect of SEK 20 million attributable to a dispute with a favorable outcome for Serneke, which was recognized in consolidated profit.

Net financial items amounted to an expense of SEK 10 million (3), mainly related to higher costs for non-current interest-bearing liabilities.

The Group reported an estimated tax income of SEK 2 million (expense: 10). 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.

Profit for the period amounted to SEK 10 million (39) and earnings per share after dilution for the quarter were SEK 0.44 (1.66).

Serneke signed an agreement with Frantiden Byggutveckling AB on the construction of 125 apartments, offices and an elderly home around the square Selma Lageriöfs Torg in Gotherburg, Sweden. The order is valued at approximately SEK 315 million. The agreement also includes an option for another phase of 101 apartments worth approximately SEK 168 million.

THE GROUP'S GROWTH AND PROFITABILITY TARGETS

Serneke's long-term growth target is to reach income of SEK 10 billion by 2020, primarily through organic growth supplemented with selective acquisitions.

The Group's long-term profitability target is an operating margin amounting to 8 percent.

In the first quarter of 2018, a reversal of SEK 20 million was done with regard to a reservation for a dispute the outcome of which was in the Serneke's favor.

Seasonal variations

To a certain extent, Serneke's operations are subject to seasonal effects. The contracting operations (Business Areas Construction and Civil Engineering) 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 consolidated balance sheet total amounted to SEK 5,652 million (5,555) as at March 31, and the equity/assets ratio was 39.9 percent (40.9). At the end of the period, consolidated cash and cash equivalents, including unutilized credit facilities, amounted to SEK 610 million (789).

On March 31, equity amounted to SEK 2,257 million (2,272). Changes are comprised of profit for the year, which contributed SEK 10 million, at the same time that a changed accounting policy concerning tenant-owner apartment projects had a negative impact of SEK 25.

On March 31, net borrowing amounted to SEK 1,057 million (552). Net borrowing in relation to EBITDA is at 1.7 (0.9) and the change in net borrowing is mainly an increase in interest-bearing liabilities attributable to now consolidated tenant-owner apartment projects and lower cash and cash equivalents. Unutilized committed credit facilities amounted to SEK 400 million (400) at year-end.

GROUP CAPITAL STRUCTURE

One of the Group's financial targets is for the equity/assets ratio to exceed 25 percent.

The liquidity reserve shall amount to at least 5 percent of income in the past 12-month period.

JANUARY-MARCH 2019

Cash flow from operating activities amounted to SEK -262 million (209). The change is largely attributable to an increased amount of capital being tied up. In the quarter, tenant-owner apartment projects were consolidated, which means that the item project properties negatively impacted working capital by SEK 84 million. Cash flow from investments was negative in the amount of SEK 12 million (11), consisting mainly of investments in tangible fixed assets. Cash flow from financing activities amounted to an inflow of SEK 95 million (outflow: 4) and mainly relates to newly raised construction credits attributable to the consolidated tenant-owner apartment projects. Cash flow for the period amounted to SEK -179 million (194).

EMPLOYEES

The Group had an average 1,134 employees in January-March 2019, compared with 1,022 in the corresponding period last year.

JANUARY-MARCH 2019

Income amounted to SEK 1,339 million (1,260), an increase of 6 percent. During the quarter, there has been a good production rate in existing projects, but growth is somewhat lower than before as an effect of a lower order backlog.

Operating profit amounted to SEK 26 million (35) and the operating margin was 1.9 percent (2.8). The lower margin is due to higher expenses attributable to investments in expansion.

Order bookings amounted to SEK 1,096 million (927), an increase of 18 percent. During the quarter, Construction

received most of the projects mainly in housing production and public buildings. In addition to this, a few collaboration agreements were signed where the order bookings are only included when the project shifts to the production phase. During the quarter, a collaboration agreement transitioned to the production phase, which is the first step in the development project that the parties are conducting together.

FINANCIAL TARGET

The long-term target in Business Area Construction is an operating margin of 5 percent. The operating margin for the rolling 12 months was 1.4 percent.

Serneke signed a contract with Riksbyggen for the continued construction of the new Kongahia district in Kungälv. The agreement encompasses new construction of 61 apartments and is valued at about SEK 78 million.

JANUARY-MARCH 2019

Income amounted to SEK 200 million (179), an increase of 12 percent, mainly driven by the Stockholm region. During the quarter, there has been a good production rate in existing projects, but the growth rate is decreasing compared with earlier quarters as an effect of a lower order backlog.

Operating profit amounted to SEK 0 million (1) and the operating margin was 0 percent (0.6). Profit was negatively impacted by the higher expenses attributable to expansion investments made, mainly in the investment in the railway.

Order bookings amounted to SEK 81 million (201) and the order backlog amounted to SEK 183 million (355), a decrease of 48 percent. A high production rate combined with lower order bookings led to the smaller order

backlog. The market outlook is nonetheless deemed to remain good with a satisfactory demand for infrastructure projects. The business area has multiple large and small projects in on-going tender processes and there are many projects to submit tenders on. The business area has invested in new recruitment of railway expertise to compete for the major investments the state will make in the railway.

FINANCIAL TARGET

The long-term target in Business Area Civil Engineering is an operating margin of 5 percent. The operating margin for the rolling 12 months was 1.0 percent.

BUSINESS AREA PROJECT DEVELOPMENT

Business Area Project Development includes Serneke's development of housing and commercial project development is performed through wholly owned projects or in collaboration with third parties and joint ventures.

JANUARY-MARCH 2019

Income amounted to SEK 11 million (62). The lower income is mainly attributable to changed accounting policies from 1 January 2019, which have had a negative effect on income in an amount of SEK 41 million and SEK 6 million on operating profit. For further information, see under changed accounting policies below.

During the quarter, two tenant-owner apartment projects were begun of which one is through a joint venture. At the end of the quarter, the business area had a total of five productions under way, comprising a total of 198 homes of which 162 or 82 percent are sold.

The share in the profit of associates and joint ventures amounted to a negative SEK 1 million (4).

Operating profit amounted to SEK -8 million (9).

Project development portfolio

At March 31, 2019, the total book value of the project development portfolio amounted to SEK 2,846 million (300), which is recognized as project and development properties in the balance sheet. Of this, the holding of the Karlastaden project amounted to SEK 2,177 million, which largely explains the increase from the previous year.

Changes in accounting policies

As of 1 January 2019, a new accounting policy is applied for housing development through tenant-owned housing. The new policy means that tenant-owner associations are consolidated in the consolidated financial statements and that income and profit from implemented projects are recognized at the time the individual buyer takes possession of the home and control shifts to the buyer.

The change has not entailed any material impact on the Group's position and performance in previously presented periods, which is why no restatement was made of the comparative figures. The change in policies has entailed an adjustment of net profit before tax in equity of SEK 25 million attributable to the periods 2016-2018. Of this, SEK 8 million is for the 2018 financial year.

The changed accounting policy is in accordance with the decision the Stockholm Nasdaq stock exchange made on 10 December 2018.

FINANCIAL TARGET

Project Development aims for a return on capital employed of 20 percent. On March 31, 2019, the return on capital employed, based on rolling 12-month earnings, amounted to 20.4 percent.

BUSINESS AREA PROPERTY MANAGEMENT

Business Area Property Management manages and develops properties for long-term capital appreciation. Management is conducted of commercial properties. The business area is working to acquire properties with development potential and generate growth by investing, developing, streamlining and rationalizing property management. Investment properties are managed through wholly owned companies or in collaboration with third parties through associates.

Property management earnings amounted to SEK -4 million (-12). In the previous year, property management earnings were charged a non-recurring cost of SEK 4 million.

The share in profit of associated companies amounted to SEK 3 million (2), primarily attributable to property management earnings in the associate Änglagården Holding AB of SEK 2 million.

At March 31, the book value of the investment properties amounted to SEK 214 million (905) and the change is attributable to the sale of investment properties that took place in the fourth quarter of 2018.

NOTES

NOTE 1 - Accounting policies

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 Group has acquired and sold assets through companies with these acquisitions/disposals not being considered to be acquisitions/disposals of operations. IFRS lacks specific guidance for such transactions. The Group has therefore, in adopting an accounting policy that provides a fair picture of these transactions and reflects their implications, sought guidance in other standards addressing similar transactions, in accordance with IAS 8. Against this background, the Group has chosen to apply the relevant parts of the standard for business combinations, IFRS 3, in accounting for acquisitions and sales of assets through companies.

Implementation of new accounting standards

IFRS 16 Leasing

In January 2016, IASB published the new standard IFRS 16 Leases, which was approved by the EU in November 2017 and will be applied from the 2019 financial year. In contrast to the current IAS 17 Leases, the standard means that Serneke as a lessee in operating leases, except for exceptions for small and short leases, must recognize the leases in the Statement of financial position. Serneke applies IFRS 16 Leases as of January 1, 2019 and has accordingly not applied the standard retroactively. The recognized right of use (ROU) assets were assigned the same value as the recognized leasing liabilities as of January 1, 2019. Serneke's assessment is that the transition to IFRS 16 will not have any material impact on the Groups position and performance or cash flow statement. In its capacity as lessee, Serneke conducted a detailed review and analysis of the Group's leases, whereby rental agreements were identified as the single most significant. In addition to rental agreements, a number of smaller leases were identified, such as vehicles, machinery and construction equipment. The effect on the leasing liability as of January 1, 2019 amounted to SEK

103 million where a corresponding ROU asset is recognized.

In addition, the Interim Report has been prepared in accordance with the same accounting principles and calculation methods as in the Annual Report for 2018. For detailed information regarding accounting policies, see Serneke's 2018 Annual Report, see www.serneke.se.

NOTE 2 - Financial assets and liabilities at fair value

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 2018 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.

Note 3 Pledged assets and contingent liabilities

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.

* 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.

Construction income

Income from contracting agreements are 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. Construction contracts mean that the construction is 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), applying percentage-of-completion. When applying percentageof-completion, the input method applies whereby income is reported based on the degree of completion, The stage of completion is calculated as the relationship between contract expenses incurred for work completed at the end of the reporting period, and estimated total contract expenses. 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.

Sale of properties and development rights

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 applying percentage 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 probability 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 the percentage of completion as leases are signed.

Rental income

Income also includes rental income, which is to be considered as operating leases under IAS 17. 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

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.
