JOACHIM HALLENGREN, PRESIDENT AND CEO
"The efforts in Germany have been successful and Germany is now our single largest market. This is pleasing because the German market is strong with a great need for affordable housing."
The number of housing units sold increased by 24 per cent in the second quarter compared to the corresponding period in the previous year, despite a still cautious housing market in Sweden. It's difficult to estimate when the Swedish market will recover, but I can conclude that house prices in Sweden stabilized during the quarter.
Demand from investors is strong, with 407 (99) rental apartments sold in the quarter. We have developed a stable investor business for some time now, with the ambition that it should comprise around 30 per cent of total sales. In Germany, the market remained strong with good demand. We sold 312 (329) housing units to consumers, and increased the number of housing starts by almost 50 per cent. In Germany, we have now caught up on the housing starts that were delayed by the unseasonably cold winter at the beginning of the year. We started 1,440 (1,442) housing units in the quarter, with a high number of housing units in production at the end of the quarter and a good sales rate of 72 (65) per cent.
The number of completed housing units recognized for profit decreased in the quarter compared to the corresponding period in the previous year, which resulted in decreased net sales and operating profit. We had a good operating margin of 11 (12) per cent, and adjusted for profit from land sales of SEK 93 M (99), operating margin amounted to 8 (9) per cent. Net sales and earnings can vary significantly between quarters due to Bonava's practice of not recognizing revenues and profit until housing units have been handed over to our customers. We are continuing to grow and invest in new housing projects, which resulted in a lower cash flow before financing of SEK -358 M (-327).
Looking ahead, there are some 9 per cent more housing units to hand over and recognize for profit compared to the corresponding period last year, which creates good conditions for the future.
We are continuing to grow in Norway, where we are active in Bergen, and acquired land for SEK 257 M in the quarter to develop 350 housing units. We sold 164 rental apartments in Linköping to an investor for SEK 311 M which are expected to be recognized for profit in the first quarter of 2020 onwards. In the quarter, we also signed a Letter of Intent relating to the development of a over 50,000 square meters new neighbourhood in Espoo, Finland, in collaboration with Kemira's pension fund Neliapila. The project is due to be completed in 2030. Our investor business in Finland is strong, and we completed two investor deals of 218 rental apartments in Tampere. The projects are expected to be handed over and recognized for profit in the third and fourth quarters of 2019.
In the quarter, we made further progress in procurement. We have signed strategic agreements for the purchasing and delivery of kitchens and whitegoods for the entire Bonava Group. This is founded on our insights about what's important to our customers. By working more cost-efficiently and with smarter procurement procedures, we are now taking concrete steps towards offering affordable homes for the many. This also enables us to develop a new and improved business model regarding add-on sales for our customers.
One of our key strategic initiatives is to grow in Germany, and we have since 2013 increased the number of building rights in Germany by 141 per cent. The efforts in Germany have been successful and Germany is now our single largest market. Germany in the last twelve months represented 38 per cent of our sales, compared to 31 per cent from Sweden. In terms of units in production, the difference is even clearer, with Germany accounting for 37 per cent, compared with 24 per cent in Sweden. This is pleasing because the German market is strong with a great need for affordable housing.
With our geographical spread across 23 regions and eight countries, Bonava is a unique housing developer. We have a strong offering for consumers and investors, and a clear focus on affordable housing. Our geographical spread enables us to grow on the markets generating the best returns. Our investor business creates a low risk profile and engenders balance as it's advantageous from a cashflow and risk perspective. There is substantial demand for housing on our markets, and with our focus on affordable housing we have an important role to play as well as a great responsibility. Finally, I would like to recommend our report "Faster affordable housing—inspiration from Germany," which we published in the quarter. In the report, we share our experiences from Sweden as well as inspiration from our operations in Germany, where we have reduced production costs and shortened the regulatory and planning process in order to simplify and speed up the construction of affordable housing. The report can be found at bonava.com.
JOACHIM HALLENGREN President and CEO
Bonava's origins are within the construction group NCC, and it has a long history of developing housing and vibrant neighbourhoods. We have been active in residential and community development ever since the 1930s, and over the years, we have gradually sharpened our focus on residential development.
Our experience and know-how have been gathered from our own projects and acquisitions. In 2009, these operations became an independent business area – NCC Housing. We took another step in 2016, when we were listed on Nasdaq Stockholm. Our focus is on developing affordable and sustainable housing for consumers and investors on selected markets where we can utilise our competence effectively and optimise our resources throughout the value chain – from project managing land to finished homes.
We create happy neighbourhoods where people have the highest quality of life
MISSION
We challenge ourselves everyday to change the housing game, creating better homes and lives for the many

Bonava develops and sells homes across 23 regions in eight countries. Bonava's selected geographical markets are Sweden, Germany, Finland, Denmark, Norway, St. Petersburg, Estonia and Latvia. Bonava focuses on major city regions in pronounced growth and with
stable local labour markets, which generates demand for new housing over time.
We develop land into affordable and sustainable neighbourhoods, with housing projects that are adapted to our customers' wants and needs, as well as the unique conditions in each location. Bonava provides multi-family housing and single-family housing, and develops homes for consumers and investors, such as pension funds, alongside municipalities and other stakeholders. That is how Bonava creates new and vibrant neighbourhoods.
All comparative figures in this report refer to the corresponding period of the previous year. Rounding differences may occur.
The housing market in Sweden remained cautious in the quarter, although house prices stabilised nationwide. The housing market in Germany remained strong with stable house prices and good demand from consumers and investors. The housing market in Finland was good and house prices continued to increase slightly. The market in Denmark was stable with a slight increase in house prices nationwide. In Bergen, Norway, the housing market was good even if house prices continued to decline slightly in the quarter following several years of strong price growth. In St. Petersburg, the market was good in the quarter, with stable demand from consumers. Demand from investors remained strong in Sweden, Germany, Finland and Denmark-Norway.
Net sales amounted to SEK 2,773 M (3,387). The decrease was due to lower net sales from both consumers and investors. Net sales from consumers amounted to SEK 2,262 M (2,467). In the quarter, 663 (865) housing units for consumers were recognised for profit at an average price of SEK 3.4 M (2.9). In Germany, Finland and Denmark-Norway, more housing units were recognised for profit while the number of housing units recognised for profit in Sweden decreased. The higher average price was due to fewer housing units recognised for profit in S.t Petersburg, where prices are lower, and a higher average price in Sweden due to more single-family houses recognised for profit. 212 (416) housing units for investors were recognised for profit in Finland and Germany in the quarter and net
sales from investors amounted to SEK 300 M (719). In the previous year, housing units for investors in Sweden, Germany and Finland were recognized for profit. Land sales amounted to SEK 201 M (176), with the increase attributable to Sweden. Exchange rate fluctuations had a positive impact of SEK 92 M on Group net sales in year-on-year terms.
Operating profit was SEK 306 M (405) in the period. The decrease was due to fewer housing units for consumers and investors recognized for profit. Profit from land sales totalled SEK 93 M (99). Amortisation of intangible assets increased on the previous year.
Exchange rate fluctuations had a positive impact of SEK 3 M on year-on-year operating profit.
Net financial items were SEK -36 M (-58). The improvement was due to reduced borrowing denominated in roubles at lower interest and decreased guarantee costs reported in net financial items.
Net financial items for the second quarter 2018 were SEK 270 M (346). Tax on profit for the period was SEK -58 M (-75), corresponding to a tax rate of 22 (22) per cent.
Profit for the period after tax was SEK 212 M (271).
Net sales amounted to SEK 4,411 M (6,289). The decrease was due to lower net sales from both consumers and investors. Net sales from consumers amounted to SEK 3,747 M (4,673). In the first six months, 1,234 (1,668) housing units for consumers were recognised for profit. The average
price per housing unit for consumers was SEK 3.0 M (2.8). The increase was due to fewer housing units recognised for profit in St. Petersburg, where prices are lower. 212 (488) housing units for investors were recognised for profit in Germany and Finland in the first half-year, and net sales from investors amounted to SEK 301 M (859). In the previous year, housing units for investors in Sweden, Germany and Finland were recognized for profit. Land sales amounted to SEK 342 M (690), with the decrease attributable to Sweden. Exchange rate fluctuations had a positive impact of SEK 111 M on Group net sales in year-on-year terms.

Total assets were SEK 22,381 M (18,859). The increase was mainly due to more housing units in ongoing production and an increased volume of properties held for future development.
Net debt amounted to SEK 5,607 M (5,311), of which net debt in Swedish tenant-owner associations and Finnish housing companies amounted to SEK 4,194 M (4,285).
Excluding tenant-owner associations and housing companies, the Group had net debt of SEK 1,413 M (1,026). Net debt was up on the previous year, mainly due to net investments in housing projects. As of 31 March 2018, net debt amounted to SEK 4,939 M.
Return on capital employed was 11.3 (18.7) per cent. The lower return was due to decreased operating profit in combination with increased capital employed of SEK 12,364 M (11,810) at the end of the period. Capital employed was up as a result of increased volumes of ongoing housing production in all business units, and more properties held for future development in all business units with the exception of St. Petersburg. This was partly offset by increased customer advances in Sweden, Germany, Finland and St. Petersburg. As of 31 March 2018, capital employed amounted to SEK 12,023 M.
As of 30 June 2018, the equity/assets ratio was 28.7 (31.9) per cent. Bonava's equity/ assets ratio is affected by seasonal fluctuations as the company's assets normally 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 0.9 (0.9). The debt/equity ratio excluding tenant-owner associations and housing companies was 0.2 (0.2).
Cash flow before financing was SEK -358 M (-327) for the quarter. The decreased profit after financial items and increased negative exchange rate effects meant that cash flow from operating activities before changes in working capital was lower. Cash flow from sales of housing projects was down in yearon-year terms due to lower sales in Sweden and Germany, which was partly offset by increased sales in Finland and Denmark-Norway. Bonava continues to grow, which meant that investments in housing projects were up in year-on-year terms, mainly in ongoing housing projects in Finland.
Cash flow from changes in other working capital was up on the previous year, mainly as a result of increased customer advances in Germany, but also due to increased interest-free financing in Denmark-Norway.
Cash flow before financing was SEK -1,132 M (-1,406) in the first six months of the year.
Cash flow from operating activities before changes in working capital was down in the period in year-on-year terms, as a result of decreased profit after financial items and negative exchange rate effects. This was offset slightly by increased depreciation and amortisation and lower tax paid.
Cash flow from sales of housing projects was down in year-on-year terms due to decreased cash flow from sales in Sweden, which was partly offset by increased sales in Finland. Investments in housing projects were down on the previous year. Investments in land were lower in Sweden, while investments in ongoing housing projects increased in Finland.
Cash flow from changes in other working capital was up on the previous year as a result of increased customer advances in Germany, Finland and St. Petersburg.
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, as illustrated on page 10 in the graph "Estimated completions per quarter".
Housing sales and housing starts In the quarter, 856 (921) housing units were sold to consumers and 407 (99) housing units were sold to investors. Sales to consumers increased mainly in St. Petersburg, while sales in Sweden and Denmark-Norway were down on the previous year. This meant that the average price of housing units sold to consumers decreased to SEK 2.4 M (2.9), as prices are lower in St. Petersburg compared to on the Nordic markets. The average price of housing units for investors was SEK 1.8 M (0.9).
In the period, 1,033 (1,343) housing units were started for consumers, and 407 (99) for investors.
At the end of the period, there were 6,947 (7,071) housing units for consumers and
3,231 (2,426) housing units for investors in production. As of 30 June 2018, the sales rate was 58 (53) per cent for housing units for consumers and 100 (100) per cent for investors. The completion rate at the end of the period was 51 (43) per cent for consumers and 47 (46) per cent for investors.
Housing sales and housing starts A total of 1,558 (1,639) housing units were sold to consumers and 407 (231) housing units to investors. The number of housing starts was 1,252 (2,660) for consumers and 407 (231) for investors.
In year-on-year terms, there are more housing units to complete from the third quarter 2018 onwards. Of the total number of housing units yet to be completed, an estimated 42 (36) per cent will be completed in the remainder of the year.
There were 33,000 (29,400) building rights, of which 18,200 (17,800) were recognized in the Balance Sheet. The largest increase in number of building rights compared to last year came from Finland and Denmark-Norway.
The number of unsold completed housing units at period end was 240 (172). All these housing units were for consumers, mainly in Finland and St. Petersburg.

The figure illustrates estimated completions of housing units for consumers, and housing units for the investor market that have not yet been recognised for profit. The curve illustrates the sold proportion. Sold housing units are recognised for profit at the time of delivery.
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 non-life 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.
For more information, see Risks and risk management on pages 72–74 of Bonava's Annual Report 2017 at www.bonava.com.
The Group's average number of employees was 1,877 (1,658) in the period.
Bonava has two classes of share, class A and class B. The closing price on 29 June 2018 was SEK 108.50 per class A share and SEK 105.10 per class B share, corresponding to market capitalisation of SEK 11.4 Bn.
Bonava's share capital was SEK 434 M on the reporting date, divided between 108,435,822 shares and 226,513,257 votes. Bonava had 13,119,715 class A shares and 95,316,107 class B shares as of 29 June 2018. Each class A share carries ten votes and each class B share one vote.
At the end of the quarter, there were 32,907 shareholders. Bonava's largest shareholder was Nordstjernan AB. As of 29 June 2018, the ten largest shareholders controlled 65.6 per cent of the capital and 71.7 per cent of the votes.
Effective 9 June 2016, NCC AB distributed all the shares in Bonava AB to shareholders. NCC AB remains a minority owner of Bonava Deutschland GmbH, but Bonava holds the option to acquire NCC AB's participations in 2021. According to a profit sharing agreement, NCC AB will waive dividend and receive annual compensation of EUR 1.3 M until the agreement is cancelled, which may occur five years from entering the agreement at the earliest. The agreed profit sharing, representing a debt of SEK 39 M to NCC AB, has been reported at an amount corresponding to the fair value of three years' payments.
In the period, Bonava repurchased 265,861 class B shares for SEK 29.0 M, relating to the completion of the company's commitment under the long-term incentive program (LTIP 2018) introduced in the year.

This Interim 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 Interim Report apply to all periods and comply with the accounting policies presented in Note 1 Significant accounting policies in Bonava's Annual Report 2017, pages 102–106. These policies are also available at www.bonava.com.
IFRS 9, Financial Instruments, was implemented on 1 January 2018 and regulates the reporting of financial instruments. The new standard replaces IAS 39 and contains regulations on how to classify and value financial assets and liabilities, impairment of financial instruments and hedge accounting. Bonava's assessment is that IFRS 9 has not had a material effect and Bonava will not restate the opening balances.
IFRS 15, Revenue Recognition from Contracts with Customers, was implemented on 1 January 2018 and regulates at what time
revenues should be reported. Bonava has carried through an analysis that shows that Bonava will have continued support to report revenues from housing projects to consumers and investors, as well as land sales, at the time when the control over the housing unit or the land is transferred to the buyer, normally at the time of handover. Therefore, Bonava will not restate the comparative figures for 2017.
IFRS 16, Leasing, will be implemented on 1 January 2019 and regulates the reporting of leasing agreements. The present value of all leasing expenses should be calculated and reported as a Right of use asset in the Balance Sheet, with the corresponding interestbearing liability. In the Income Statement, the leasing expense is replaced by depreciation and interest expense. According to the present accounting standard only financial leasing has been reported in this manner. At the transition to IFRS 16 total assets, capital employed, net debt and operating profit will increase, which will impact some key figures. Profit after financial items will not be impacted. Bonava has started an analysis in order to quantify the effects of the new leasing standard.

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 currency forward contracts used for hedging purposes. The measurement of fair value for currency forward contracts is based on published forward rates in an active market.

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.
