Comments from the CEO

JOACHIM HALLENGREN, PRESIDENT AND CEO

"The quarter was negatively affected by few housing units completed and recognised for profit, although the number of housing units due to be completed from the second quarter 2018 onwards is up year-on-year."

SALES TO CONSUMERS IN LINE WITH PREVIOUS YEAR

The sales rate for housing units in ongoing production increased to 72 per cent, from 68 per cent at the end of 2017, and 70 per cent in the corresponding quarter last year. First quarter sales to consumers were in line with the previous year, despite the Swedish housing market remaining cautious with fewer project sales starts. Compared to last year, we sold fewer housing units in Sweden and more in St. Petersburg. As no investor deals were completed in the quarter, the total number of housing units sold decreased by 17 per cent year-on-year. However, investor demand remains strong in Sweden, Germany, Finland and Denmark– Norway. Because investor deals are spread unevenly across the year, there may be no investor deals in some quarters, which was the case this quarter. Regarding the consumer market, I reiterate what I said at the end of 2017, which is that it's difficult to predict when the Swedish market will recover. Swedish house prices appeared to have stabilised somewhat in the quarter, and underlying demand remains strong with positive macroeconomic prospects for the housing market in the longer term. Our other main market, Germany, remained strong during the quarter with sales to consumers in line with last year.

The number of housing starts were down compared to last year due to factors such as the cautious Swedish market and an unusually cold winter that delayed project starts in Germany. We also started more than 800 housing units in St. Petersburg in the first quarter of 2017, which means that the comparative figures are high.

LOWER SALES OF LAND COMPARED TO PREVIOUS YEAR

First quarter net sales and operating profit were down year-on-year. This was mainly due to fewer housing units completed and recognised for profit, but also lower land sales. The first quarter of 2017 included land sales with a positive net sales impact of SEK 515 M, and a positive impact on operating profit of SEK 283 M. I'm not satisfied with the first quarter results in Finland, which were negatively affected by low margins in three projects recognised for profit. I would like to draw attention to our conservative profit recognition method, which means that revenues and profit are not recognised until we have completed and handed over housing units to customers. This means that net sales and profit vary significantly between quarters depending on when housing units are handed over, which is particularly clear in the current quarter.

CONTINUED FOCUS ON GROWTH IN GERMANY

After the end of the quarter, Bonava was awarded Germany's most active residential property developer for the sixth year running in a survey by market research company bulwiengesa. I'm proud of this award. Alongside Sweden, Germany is our largest market where our building rights portfolio has grown the most. Over the last three years, we have started some 60 per cent more housing units in Germany than in Sweden, and our ambition is to grow by 5 to 10 per cent annually.

LARGEST RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPER IN LATVIA AND LAND ACQUISTIONS IN COPENHAGEN

Bonava was also awarded largest residential developer in Latvia by property company Latio. The survey is based on the number of housing units registered and in new production. It's pleasing that our continued customer focus and cost-effective operations enable us to continue to expand our business in Latvia. In the quarter, we acquired land to develop some 122 apartments and 134 single-family homes in Copenhagen, a key step in gaining market shares in the region.

MANY UNITS IN PRODUCTION WITH HIGH SALES RATE

The quarter was negatively affected by few housing units completed and recognised for profit, although the number of housing units due to be completed from the second quarter 2018 onwards is up year-on-year. Looking ahead, there are 9,583 (9,392) housing units in production with a high sales rate of 72 (70) per cent, implying positive prospects for the future. We continued to invest in land and new housing projects in the quarter, impacting cash flow before financing which was SEK -774 M (-1,079). Our broad geographical spread across eight countries and 23 regiones, our diversified offering to consumers and investors and our strong financial position mean that we are well positioned to continue to deliver more affordable homes.

Joachim Hallengren, President and CEO

Building on a stable foundation

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 opera-tions 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.

VISION

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

A leading residential developer in northern Europe

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.

MARKET PERFORMANCE

The housing market in Sweden remained cautious in the quarter, although house prices stabilised somewhat nationwide. The housing market in Germany was strong in the quarter with stable house prices and good demand from consumers. The housing market in Finland was good and house prices continued to increase slightly in the quarter. The housing market in Denmark was stable and prices continued to increase somewhat in the areas where Bonava is active. In Norway, where Bonava only has a presence in Bergen, prices continued to decrease slightly following several years of strong price growth. Housing prices in St. Petersburg were stable in the quarter, with good demand from consumers. No sales to investors were completed in the quarter, although demand remained strong in Sweden, Germany, Finland and Denmark-Norway.

JANUARY–MARCH 2018 Operational performance Net sales

Net sales amounted to SEK 1,639 M (2,903). The decrease was mainly due to lower net sales from consumers, totalling SEK 1,485 M (2,206). In the quarter, 571 (803) housing units for consumers were recognised for profit.

The average price per housing unit for consumers was SEK 2.6 M (2.7). In Sweden, fewer housing units were recognized for profit at a lower average price and in Denmark–Norway no housing units for consumers were completed in the quarter.

No housing units for investors were recognised for profit in the quarter and net sales for investors were SEK 0 M (139). In the previous year, 72 housing units for investors were recognised for profit in Germany. Land sales totalled SEK 142 M (515), with the decrease attributable to Sweden. Exchange rate fluctuations had a positive effect of SEK 23 M on consolidated net sales in year-on-year terms.

Operating profit

Operating profit was SEK 43 M (503) in the period. The decrease was mainly due to fewer housing units for consumers recognized for profit and lower profit from land sales in Sweden. Profit from land sales totalled SEK 61 M (283). Operating profit was charged with increased amortisation of intangible assets and increased selling and administration expenses.

Exchange rate fluctuations had a negative impact of SEK -4 M on year-on-year operating profit.

Net financial items, tax and profit for the period

Net financial items were SEK -40 M (-54). The improvement was partly due to reduced borrowing denominated in roubles at lower interest and decreased guarantee costs reported in Net financial items. Net financial items excluding guarantee costs for January–March 2017 was SEK -45 M.

Profit after financial items for the first quarter 2018 was SEK 3 M (449).

Tax on profit for the period was SEK -1 M (-98), corresponding to a tax rate of 22 (22) per cent.

Profit for the period after tax was SEK 2 M (350).

Financial position, investments and cash flow

TOTAL ASSETS

Total assets were SEK 20,498 M (18,547). The increase was mainly due to more housing units in ongoing production and increased volume of properties held for future development.

NET DEBT

Net debt amounted to SEK 4,939 M (4,778), of which net debt in Swedish tenant-owner associations and Finnish housing companies amounted to SEK 4,318 M (4,265).

Excluding tenant-owner associations and housing companies the Group had net debt of SEK 622 M (512).

Net debt was higher compared to the end of 2017, mainly due to net investments in residential projects in the quarter. As of 31 December 2017, net debt was SEK 4,165 M.

CAPITAL EMPLOYED AND RETURN ON CAPITAL EMPLOYED

Return on capital employed was 12.2 (17.0) per cent. The lower return was due to decreased operating profit in combination with increased capital employed of SEK 12,023 M (11,657) at the end of the period. Capital employed increased as a result of increased volumes of ongoing housing production and properties held for future development in Germany, Finland and Denmark– Norway. As of 30 December 2017, capital employed was SEK 12,003 M.

EQUITY/ASSETS AND DEBT/EQUITY RATIO

As of 31 March 2018, the equity/assets ratio was 33.0 (32.5) 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 0.7 (0.8). The debt/equity ratio excluding tenant-owner associations and housing companies was 0.1 (0.1).

Allocation of assets

CASH FLOW FOR THE QUARTER JANUARY–MARCH

Cash flow before financing was SEK -774 M (-1 079) for the quarter.

Cash flow from operating activities before changes in working capital was down yearon-year as profit after financial items was down in the quarter and because of negative exchange rate effects. This was offset slightly by increased depreciation and amortisation and lower taxes paid.

Cash flow from sales of housing projects was down in year-on-year terms due to lower or unchanged sales across all business areas with the exception of Finland. Germany continued to make net investments, albeit not to the same extent as in the previous year. Investments in housing projects were down in Sweden, but 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 the quarter, mainly in Finland and Germany. This was somewhat offset by reduced interest-free financing in Sweden.

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, as illustrated on page 10 in the graph "Estimated completions per quarter".

Cash flow before financing

Housing sales, housing starts and building rights

JANUARY–MARCH 2018

Housing sales and housing starts In the quarter 702 (718) housing units were sold to consumers and 0 (132) housing units were sold to investors. Sales to consumers in-creased, mainly in St. Petersburg. Sales decreased in Sweden and Denmark-Norway year-on-year. This meant that the average price of housing units sold for consumers decreased to SEK 2.3 M (2.8), as prices are lower in St. Petersburg compared to on the Nordic markets. The average price of housing units for investors was SEK 0 M (1.8).

In the period, 219 (1,317) housing units were started for consumers, and 0 (132) for investors. The total number of production starts decreased, mainly in St. Petersburg where three major projects were started last year. No housing units to investors were started in the quarter.

Housing units in production as of 31 March 2018

At the end of the period, there were 6,547 (6,619) housing units for consumers and 3,036 (2,773) housing units for investors in production. As of 31 March 2018, the sales rate was 59 (57) per cent for housing units for consumers and 100 (100) per cent for housing units for investors. At the end of the period, the rate of completion was 48 (46) per cent for consumers and 43 (42) per cent for investors.

Estimated completions per quarter

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 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.

MARKET PROGRESS

The Swedish housing market remained cautious in the quarter, although house prices stabilized slightly nationwide.

JANUARY–MARCH 2018

Operational progress

Net sales

Net sales were down on the previous year as a result of fewer housing units recognized for profit and decreased land sales. The average price per housing unit to consumers recognized for profit was SEK 3.3 M (4.0). Housing units recognized for profit were less extensive than in the previous year.

Operating profit

Operating profit was SEK 137 M (493), with the decrease due to fewer housing units for consumers recognized for profit and a reduction in land sales to SEK 52 M (283). Margins on housing units for consumers improved. Administration costs were higher year-on-year from the larger organisation.

Capital employed and return on capital employed

In Sweden, ongoing housing production increased year-on-year, which was offset by lower values of properties held for future development. Other current assets and non-interest-bearing liabilities were largely unchanged, and capital tied up was in line with the previous year. This meant a reduction in return on capital employed year-on-year due to the lower operating profit.

Germany

MARKET PROGRESS

The housing market in Germany was strong in the quarter, with stable house prices and good demand from consumers.

JANUARY–MARCH 2018

Operational progress

Net sales

In Germany, net sales decreased as fewer housing units for consumers and investors were recognised for profit. The average price per housing unit for consumers increased to SEK 3.8 M (3.2) due to more housing units in central locations being recognised for profit in relative terms. No housing units for investors were recognised for profit in the period. Last year, 72 housing units for investors were recognized for profit in Germany.

Operating profit

Operating profit decreased in Germany as fewer housing units were recognised for profit compared to the corresponding period in the previous year. Bonava sold a small land parcel, generating profit of SEK 9 M (0). Administration costs were up on the previous year as a result of a larger organisation.

Capital employed and return on capital employed

The ongoing expansion in Germany increased properties held for future development and housing units in production in year-on-year terms, which was not fully offset by increased interest free project financing, which meant that capital employed was also up. Return on capital employed decreased year-on-year as a result of the lower profit and the increased capital tied up.

Finland

MARKET PROGRESS

The housing market in Finland was good and house prices continued to increase slightly in the quarter.

JANUARY–MARCH 2018

Operational progress

Net sales

In Finland, net sales increased as more housing units were handed over to consumers. The average price for housing units to consumers decreased to SEK 2.1 M (2.4) as a result of fewer housing units recognised for profit in the Helsinki area.

Operating profit

Operating profit in Finland decreased in the first quarter year-onyear due to low margins in three projects recognised for profit.

Capital employed and return on capital employed Finland had more housing units in production which was only partly offset by increased customer advances and capital employed was up on the previous year. Return on capital employed was negative

due to the lower profit.

Denmark–Norway

MARKET PROGRESS

The housing market in Denmark is stable and prices continued to increase slightly in the areas where Bonava is active. In Norway, where Bonava is only active in Bergen, prices continued to decrease slightly following several years of strong price growth.

JANUARY–MARCH 2018

Operational progress

Net sales

Net sales in Denmark–Norway were lower than in the previous year due to a limited number of housing units being handed over to consumers. The average price increased to SEK 4.6 M (3.3).

Operating profit

Operating profit for Denmark–Norway decreased because of lower net sales.

Capital employed and return on capital employed Denmark–Norway had more housing units in production at the same time as properties held for future development increased in year-on-year terms. This meant that capital employed also increased. Return on capital employed was down, mainly due to the lower operating profit.

St. Petersburg

MARKET PROGRESS

House prices were stable in the quarter and demand from consumers was good.

JANUARY–MARCH 2018

Operational progress

Net sales

In St. Petersburg, net sales increased slightly year-on-year as the average price per housing unit for consumers rose to SEK 1.3 M (0.7). In the period, more housing units were recognised for profit in a higher price segment than in the previous year.

Operating profit

Operating profit was up on the previous year thanks to increased net sales of housing units for consumers at improved margins.

Capital employed and return on capital employed

St. Petersburg decreased properties held for future development as no investments in new land have been made since the previous year. Ongoing housing projects decreased and capital employed was down. Return on capital employed decreased, mainly as a result of lower rolling 12-month profit.

Notes

NOTE 1 Accounting principles

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 pre-sented 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.

NOTE 6 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 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.

NOTE 7 Transactions with related parties

In the period until 9 June 2016, Bonava constituted the NCC Housing operating segment of NCC AB. After this date, all transactions with NCC have been priced on a commercial basis.

Joint ventures and joint arrangements are categorised as related parties. The Nordstjernan Group and companies in the Axel Johnson Group are also categorised as related parties. Transactions with these parties were not material and have not been specified below.
