CEO Tomas Carlsson comments

At the Capital Markets Day in October, we presented an action plan aimed at strengthening profitability. During the fourth quarter, we took steps to create a basis for a strong future for NCC. For example, we divested a number of development properties and the ViaSafe business, which was part of NCC Road Service. The sale of the remaining parts of Road Service is proceeding according to plan.

The conditions are generally favorable in our markets, with the exception of housing in Sweden and Denmark. The economies in the Nordic countries are stable. NCC has offset lower orders for housing by securing a higher level of orders for such projects as public-sector buildings and offices. Similar to earlier quarters in 2018, orders received in the fourth quarter were at a high level. We added to the order backlog during the year, which was SEK 5 billion higher at December 31 compared with the corresponding date a year earlier.

The result after financial items was SEK 229 M (-65) in the fourth quarter. The result was charged with SEK 152 M of the additional restructuring costs of approximately SEK 200 M, which were announced in the previous quarter. Cash flow before financing improved in the fourth quarter compared with the preceding year.

Earnings for the construction and civil engineering operations were impacted by the revaluations of the project portfolio implemented in the third quarter and, in combination with a cautious recognition of profit, this yielded low profitability for the full year.

The NCC Industry and NCC Property Development business areas improved their quarterly earnings compared with the preceding year. More development projects recognized in profit and land sales supported higher earnings from the property development business. We also commenced construction on four new property projects, of which two were large projects in Sweden: Kineum in Gothenburg and Bromma Blocks in Stockholm.

For the full year, the result after financial items was SEK - 849 M (983). The negative figure is mainly attributable to the provisions, revaluations and impairments totaling SEK 1,565 M made in the third quarter.

The core of NCC is strong. About two-thirds of the Group is performing well. We have successful operations in all countries and business areas, but we also have a number of operations that are not. We will further increase our focus on and proximity to our projects. We will be more meticulous in how we select projects, how we approach and implement them, and how we manage risk. We're on the right path. However, much work remains to be done and it will take time before the measures will have full effect.

Tomas Carlsson, President and CEO Solna, January 29, 2019

Group performance

Fourth quarter and full-year 2018

Market

The market conditions in 2018 were generally good. The economies in the Nordic countries are stable.

In the construction sector, a changed demography and expanding cities are driving the demand for schools, hospitals and homes for the elderly. Demand for newly produced housing has weakened from a high level in Sweden and toward the end of the year also in Denmark. The market for refurbishment is favorable in Denmark and Finland.

Public-sector infrastructure initiatives are fueling the Nordic infrastructure market and generating strong growth in Norway and Sweden. The share of major projects in excess of SEK 100 M is increasing.

In the industrial segment, a strong civil engineering market is driving demand for asphalt and stone materials in Norway and Sweden.

Low yield requirements from investors and high demand for modern and sustainable new premises provide favorable market conditions in the Nordic property market.

Orders received and order backlog

Orders received amounted to SEK 17,750 M (16,223) in the fourth quarter and to SEK 61,842 M (56,777) for full-year 2018. The increase in orders received for the year is mainly attributable to NCC Infrastructure and NCC Building Nordics. Changes in exchange rates increased orders received by SEK 1,067 M (282) in 2018.

The Group's order backlog was SEK 56,837 M (51,734) at year-end, an increase that is mainly due to higher orders received in NCC Infrastructure and NCC Building Nordics in the first quarter. Changes in exchange rates increased the order backlog by SEK 542 M (144).

Net sales and earnings

Net sales amounted to SEK 17,832 M (16,273) in the fourth quarter and to SEK 57,346 M (54,441) for full-year 2018. The higher net sales in the fourth quarter were mainly driven by NCC Property Development, which recognized projects in profit and carried out land sales. Changes in exchange rates increased net sales by SEK 1,077 M (309) in 2018.

NCC's operating result was SEK 256 M (-43) for the fourth quarter and SEK -764 M (1,075) for full-year 2018. Of the additional restructuring costs totaling SEK 200 M announced in the third quarter, SEK 152 M impacted earnings in the fourth quarter. The fourth quarter of 2017 was charged with SEK 75 M in restructuring costs. The higher operating result in the fourth quarter was mainly driven by transactions in NCC Property Development. The negative full-year result is mainly explained by the provisions, revaluations and impairments carried out in the third quarter.

Net financial items for full-year 2018 amounted to SEK -85 M (-91). Interest rate effects on loans and investments, lower credit margins and higher capitalization of interest rates for NCC Property Development had a positive effect, although this was offset by increased costs due to higher net debt during the year.

Cash flow

Cash flow from operating activities was SEK -375 M (2,158) for full-year 2018. The deterioration was primarily the result of a lower operational result, increased investments in development properties and a lower result from the sale of property projects. The revaluations carried out during the year that adversely impacted earnings did not affect cash flow for the period. Total cash and cash equivalents at the end of the period amounted to SEK 1,269 M (3,104).

The Group's net debt at December 31 amounted to SEK -3,045 M (-149). The change was mainly the result of lower cash flow and higher pension debt.

- Net debt excluding provisions for pensions -766 1,258

The Group's total assets at December 31 amounted to SEK 27,001 M (27,018).

The average maturity period for interest-bearing liabilities, excluding pension debt according to IAS 19, was 34 months (34) at year-end. At December 31, 2018, NCC's unutilized committed lines of credit totaled SEK 3.6 billion (3.5), with an average remaining maturity of 33 (44) months.

Capital employed

The capital employed at December 31 amounted to SEK 7,619 M (9,174), a decrease mainly due to higher interest-free debt. The return on capital employed was -9 percent (12) in the fourth quarter.

Financial objectives

On October 15, the Board of Directors resolved to reduce the number of objectives for the Group to give greater clarity and focus on profitability ahead of volume. The decided objectives and the dividend policy remain unchanged and are as follows: return on equity ≥20%, operating margin ≥4%, net debt <2.5 times EBITDA. Dividend policy: The Group's dividend policy is to distribute at least 40% of after-tax profit for the year. The financial objectives for the business areas are unchanged.

Operating margin

Net debt excludes pension liabilities. EBITDA refers to operating profit according to the income statement, with reversal of depreciation and writedowns according to note 2 and 3.

Safety

Safety has a high priority and NCC has a zero vision with respect to worksite accidents. NCC's target is for the accident frequency rate* to be less than 3.5 in 2020. On a rolling 12-month basis, the accident frequency rate increased during the fourth quarter of 2018 compared with the corresponding period in 2017. No fatal accidents occurred in 2018. The most common injuries in 2018 were cuts, sprains, strains and fractures. The accident rate rose in all business areas except for NCC Building Sweden. Minor injuries were the main cause of the increase.

*Accident frequency: Worksite accidents resulting in several days of absence from work per million worked hours.

NCC Infrastructure

Fourth quarter and full-year 2018

Orders received and order backlog

While orders received by NCC Infrastructure fell to SEK 5,796 M (6,559) in the fourth quarter, the full-year 2018 figure increased to SEK 21,271 M (19,278). The lower orders received in the fourth quarter was mainly attributable to the registration of the Korsvägen project (SEK 2.3 billion) among orders in the final quarter of 2017. Higher order intake in the Civil Engineering Norway division was behind the increase in orders received during the year. The order backlog increased to SEK 21,037 M (16,713) at the end of the year.

Net sales and earnings

Net sales amounted to SEK 5,134 M (5,234) in the quarter and to SEK 16,936 M (15,750) for full-year 2018. Higher sales in the period were mainly the result of a high level of activity in a number of major projects in the Civil Engineering Sweden division.

The operating result amounted to SEK -144 M (-64) in the quarter and SEK -698 M (-122) for full-year 2018. The operating result in the fourth quarter was charged with restructuring costs, as announced earlier, of about SEK 49 M. In addition to weak earnings from the project business, the result in the fourth quarter was impacted by increased zero recognition, meaning no recognition of earnings in early-stage projects where the risks in these projects are difficult to assess. The operating result in 2018 was lower in all divisions, with Civil Engineering Norway recording the largest decline. Much of the deterioration is attributable to the revaluations carried out in the third quarter.

NCC Building Sweden

Fourth quarter and full-year 2018

Orders received and order backlog

Orders received increased to SEK 5,893 M (3,032) in the fourth quarter and to SEK 15,075 M (15,710) for full-year 2018. The increase in orders received in the fourth quarter was mainly due to a higher number of large projects. Orders received for housing units declined during the quarter.

The order backlog decreased to SEK 18,709 M (19,340) at the end of the year.

Net sales and earnings

Net sales amounted to SEK 4,614 M (4,473) in the fourth quarter and to SEK 15,701 M (14,178) for full-year 2018. The increase for the quarter and full year was the result of a higher work-up rate in a number of major projects.

The operating result was SEK 109 M (186) in the fourth quarter and SEK 453 M (489) for full-year 2018. The operating result was charged with higher revaluations than in the preceding year, with most of the project adjustments impacting the third quarter but also to a certain extent the fourth quarter.

Fourth quarter and full-year 2018

Orders received and order backlog

Orders received amounted to SEK 3,477 M (3,648) in the fourth quarter and to SEK 11,229 M (9,251) for full-year 2018. The decline in the fourth quarter is primarily attributable to lower orders received in both Norway and Denmark, while orders received in Finland increased compared with the year-earlier period. The increase in orders received for the full year was mainly attributable to Finland. Orders received remained strong for the refurbishment segment in the quarter and the largest segment for the full year.

The order backlog amounted to SEK 11,313 M (10,288) at year-end.

Net sales and earnings

Net sales increased to SEK 3,162 M (3,065) in the fourth quarter and to SEK 10,753 M (10,444) for full-year 2018. The increase for both the quarter and the full year was attributable to Denmark.

The operating result was SEK -78 M (-11) for the fourth quarter and SEK -227 M (-79) for full-year 2018. The result for the quarter was lower year on year, due mainly to previously announced restructuring costs of SEK 95 M and weak underlying operations, primarily in Norway. Both Finland and Denmark reported an positive operating profit in the quarter. The operating result for the full year was negative, impacted by revaluations in the third quarter.

NCC Industry

Fourth quarter and full-year 2018

Net sales and earnings

Net sales increased to SEK 3,876 M (3,839) in the fourth quarter and to SEK 12,968 M (12,393) for full-year 2018. The increase was due to higher sales in the asphalt operations, but also a high level of activity in the Danish and Swedish stone materials operations. The higher sales in the asphalt operations were largely the result of higher asphalt prices, driven by higher bitumen and energy costs.

The operating result was SEK 155 M (142) in the fourth quarter and SEK 350 M (577) for full-year 2018. The result for the quarter improved year on year, primarily due to the Danish asphalt operations being charged with impairments for projects in the fourth quarter of 2017. Annual results in all divisions were lower than in the preceding year. The asphalt operations in Sweden and Norway improved their results, while Finland and Denmark's results declined due to intensified competition. The stone materials operations' results were at a healthy level, excluding revaluations. The results in foundation engineering were impacted not only by revaluations in the third quarter, but also by lower sales in Sweden.

Capital employed

Capital employed increased as a result of higher investments and increased working capital and amounted to SEK 4.9 billion.

Net sales and earnings

Net sales amounted to SEK 1,361 M (42) in the fourth quarter and to SEK 2,157 M (2,567) for full-year 2018. Four projects were recognized in profit in the fourth quarter: the Fredriksberg 1 office project and the Laajasalo 1 retail project in Finland, the Frederiks Plads 1 office project in Denmark and the Stavanger Business Park office project in Norway. No projects were recognized in profit in the fourth quarter of 2017. Nine (five) projects were recognized in profit for the full year. Land sales made a positive contribution to earnings in the quarter.

The operating result was SEK 144 M (-48) in the fourth quarter and SEK -181 M (601) for full-year 2018. The operating result for the full year was affected by the revaluation of development properties in Norway, Denmark and Finland with an amount of SEK 363 M as a result of the decision in the third quarter to discontinue these. The sales prices for Stavanger Business Park was SEK 39 M higher than the impaired carrying amount.

Property projects

Four projects were recognized in profit in the fourth quarter. Four projects started construction during the period: the Fredriksberg B and Fredriksberg C office projects in Finland, and Kineum Gårda and Bromma Blocks in Sweden.

Leasing in the full-year 2018 totaled 71,200 square meters (69,700), of which 53,500 (29,200) in the fourth quarter.

At the end of the fourth quarter 18 (22) projects were either ongoing or completed but not yet recognized in profit. The costs incurred in all projects amounted to SEK 2.7 billion (2.4), corresponding to a completion rate of 35 (45) percent. The leasing rate was 49 (60) percent. The operating net was SEK 38 M (50) for the full year and SEK 5 M (10) for the fourth quarter.

Notes

Note 1. Accounting policies

Group

This interim report has been compiled pursuant to IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The interim report has been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and the interpretations of prevailing accounting standards issued by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC), as approved by the EU.

The interim report has been prepared pursuant to the same accounting policies and methods of calculation as the 2017 Annual Report (Note 1, pages 58–67), apart from in respect of IFRS 15 and IFRS 9, which are being applied as of January 1, 2018 and which have the following impact on the financial statements (for a more detailed description, also refer to the descriptions in the notes mentioned above).

IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers NCC has identified two revenue streams where IFRS 15 has or could have a material impact on NCC's financial statements.

The first revenue stream concerns the Building Sweden and Building Nordics and Infrastructure business areas and relates to contract modifications covering alterations and supplementary work, compensation for shortcomings in tender specifications and similar items. The requirement to report revenue in the aforementioned situations is higher under IFRS 15 than under IAS 11, in terms of both the documented right to, and probability of, payment from the customer.

The second revenue stream concerns the development of commercial properties in the Property Development business area and whether revenue is to be recognized over time (percentage of completion) or as previously at a specific time (when the property has been completed and handed over to the customer). NCC's analysis has been completed and NCC believes that revenue is normally to be recognized as before, meaning when the property is handed over to the customer. IFRS 15 is not deemed to have any material impact on prior years' revenue or during the period January 1 – December 31, 2018.

The impact in 2017 of the transition to IFRS 15 for the Infrastructure, Building Sweden and Building Nordics business areas is shown in the tables on the next page.

IFRS 9 Financial instruments

IFRS 9 has introduced new rules governing areas including the recognition and measurement of financial instruments, impairment of financial instruments and hedge accounting.

NCC's analysis of the effects of IFRS 9 shows that the new rules do not impact the Group's financial position because IFRS 9 does not significantly impact measurement. Nor

does IFRS 9 entail any significant effect on NCC's hedge accounting or – based on IFRS 9's methodology and NCC's history – on NCC's provisions for credit losses.

IFRS 16 Leases

The standard IFRS 16 Leases will be applied as of January 1, 2019. IFRS 16 replaces the previous standard IAS 17. NCC has decided to implement the standard according to the modified retrospective approach, which entails that identified leases are not restated retrospectively.

The application of IFRS 16 entails that NCC will recognize right-of-use assets with the associated lease liability for production equipment, rent of premises and land leases. The costs for these leases will be recognized in profit or loss as amortization and interest expense, respectively.

EBITDA and to a certain extent EBIT will strengthen. The key figures regarding capital effect and debt will be negatively impacted since recognized assets and interestbearing liabilities will increase.

Based on available information, NCC estimates that right-ofuse assets and attributable financial liabilities will increase by approximately SEK 1,700 M as of January 1, 2019.

Parent Company

The Parent Company has prepared its interim report pursuant to the Swedish Annual Accounts Act (1995:1554) and the Swedish Financial Reporting Board's recommendation RFR 2 Accounting for Legal Entities.

The interim report for the Parent Company has been prepared in accordance with the same accounting policies and methods of calculation as the 2017 Annual Report (Note 1, pages 58–67), apart from IFRS 15 and the amendments of RFR 2 in terms of the application of the measurement of financial instruments using cost as the basis as of January 1, 2018. The application of these has had no impact on the financial statements.

Note 4. Acquisition of operations

The Building Nordics business area acquired the construction company Jakobsen & Blindkilde via NCC A/S on April 1, 2018 and thereby gained a stronger position in Jutland but also in the rest of Denmark. The company has 75 employees and annual sales of about SEK 460 M.

The acquisitions had no material impact on the Group's earnings or financial position in the fourth quarter.

Note 6. Fair value of financial instruments

In the tables below, disclosures are made concerning how fair value has been determined for the financial instruments that are continuously measured at fair value in NCC's balance sheet. When determining fair value, assets have been divided into three levels. No transfers were made between the levels during the period.

In level 1, measurement complies with the prices quoted on an active market for the same instruments. Derivatives in level 2 comprise currency forward contracts, interest-rate swaps, oil forward contracts and electricity forward

contracts used for hedging purposes. The measurement to fair value of currency forward contracts, oil forward contracts and electricity forward contracts is based on accepted models with observable input data such as interest rates, exchange rates and commodity prices. The measurement of interest-rate swaps is based on forward interest rates based on observable yield curves. In level 3, measurement is based on input data that is not observable in the market.
