In this report, Bonava is reported as a discontinued operation according to IFRS 5 (see accounting policies on page 16 and Note 4) and is included in NCC's income statement up to June 7, 2016. Earnings from discontinued operation comprise Bonava's profit for the period January 1 to June 7 plus the difference between Bonava's market capitalization on the listing date and Bonava's shareholders' equity on the spinoff date.

CEO Peter Wågström comments

Lower profit from our construction and civil engineering operations led to slightly lower second-quarter earnings for NCC. However, earnings were on a par with the year-earlier period if the positive non-recurring effects resulting from the distribution of Bonava are taken into account. Earnings for the first half of 2017 improved because of a favorable first-quarter outcome for the property development business. Profit after financial items amounted to SEK 522 M (548) for the second quarter and to SEK 805 M $(240)$ for the first half of 2017.

High order backlog

Market conditions in the Nordic construction market are generally favorable. As in the year-earlier period, orders received were high in the second quarter and exceeded net sales, which resulted in our further adding to the order backlog. The order backlog at the end of the quarter was SEK 52.3 billion, just over 10 percent higher than a year earlier.

Slightly improved margin in NCC Building

Sales in the Swedish market increased but a low workup rate in Finland and Denmark led to lower sales in the second quarter. Orders received were favorable and the order backlog grew SEK 3 billion in the quarter. thus creating prerequisites for growth in the future. The operating margin improved during the quarter despite lower sales.

Weak earnings in NCC Infrastructure

The business area increased its net sales in the quarter and for the first half of the year. Operating profit deteriorated, primarily due to low margins in old projects at the same time as the work-up rate for new projects generating better profitability was low. Orders received were on a par with sales but were lower than in the vear-earlier period, when more large-scale orders were registered.

New property projects in Sweden

Although NCC Property Development had no property projects recognized in profit during the quarter, earnings almost matched the year-earlier level as a result of sales of land and earnings from previously profitrecognized projects. It is gratifying that we have now been able to start the first two phases of our large-scale development area in Solna, outside Stockholm. We also started a logistics project in Mölndal and entered into cooperation with Platzer for two forthcoming projects in Gothenburg.

Healthy earnings in NCC Industry

NCC Industry improved its sales and earnings during both the second quarter and the first half of the year. In the second quarter, asphalt operations in particular accounted for an earnings improvement. Sales increased in all divisions.

Some progress made

In the preceding quarter, I talked about a number of challenges that we need to manage to achieve our strategic objectives for both sales growth and margin improvements. We have made some progress in respect of, for example, our overhead costs, which were at a lower level during the quarter. Looking at the first half of the year, both earnings and sales increased, but some work remains. Although NCC Industry and NCC Property Development are delivering according to the set targets, the construction and civil engineering operations have to show improvements in both profitability and sales.

Net sales and result after financial items

Group performance

The period January-June 2017

Orders received and order backlog

Orders received amounted to SEK 16,431 M (17,123) in the second quarter and to SEK $27,913$ M $(27,661)$ in the first half of the year. In the second quarter, orders received by NCC Building rose, due to favorable orders received in such areas as housing construction, but this did not fully offset the decline in NCC Infrastructure. Orders received by NCC Industry were higher, mainly for asphalt operations. Changes in exchange rates increased orders received in the first half of the year by SEK 341 M, year-on-year.

The Group's order backlog totaled SEK 52,265 M (47,177). Changes in exchange rates reduced the value of the order backlog by SEK 212 M.

Net sales and earnings

Net sales amounted to SEK 13,382 M (13,646) in the second quarter and to SEK 25,188 M (22,843) in the first half of the year. The decrease during the quarter was due to NCC Building showing lower sales in Finland and Denmark. NCC Property Development reported higher sales for the first half of the year because more property projects were recognized in profit compared with the yearearlier period. NCC Infrastructure and NCC Industry also reported increased sales. Changes in exchange rates increased sales in the first half of the year by SEK 362 M, year-on-year.

NCC's operating profit amounted to SEK 548 M (572) in the second quarter and SEK 850 M (289) for the first half of the year. The improvement in the first half of the year was mainly attributable to NCC Property Development, which reported higher profit from property sales. NCC Building's operating profit deteriorated, due mainly to impairment losses on projects in its Finnish operations in the first quarter and lower volumes in the Finnish and Danish operations. NCC Infrastructure's operating profit declined, due mainly to weak profitability in older projects and a low work-up rate and thus cautious recognition of earnings from new projects. NCC Industry's operating profit improved as a result of increased sales of stone materials and improved earnings from the Finnish and Swedish asphalt operations.

Net financial items amounted to an expense of SEK 45 M (expense: 49). Lower loans, lower interest rates and exchange-rate differences had a favorable impact on net financial items.

Net indebtedness (excl. pension debt)/EBITDA

Cash flow

Cash flow from operating activities for the first half of the year totaled SEK $0 \text{ M}$ (neg: 1,553). Positive earnings from operations in the first half of the year and profit recognition and handover of four projects in Property Development were offset by negative cash flow from other working capital, which was seasonally impacted primarily by increases in accounts receivable. Cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2017 totaled SEK 2,237 M $(2,492)$ .

Financial position

The Group's net indebtedness at June 30 amounted to SEK 1,232 M (2,166). The year-on-year improvement was mainly attributable to lower opening net indebtedness and improved cash flow during the first half of 2017.

The Group's total assets at June 30 amounted to SEK 26,212 M (27,155).

The average maturity period for interest-bearing liabilities, excluding pension debt according to IAS 19, was 35 months (37) at the end of the quarter. At the same date, NCC's unutilized committed lines of credit totaled SEK 3.4 billion $(4.1)$ , with an average remaining maturity of 49 $(49)$ months.

Capital employed

Capital employed at June 30 totaled SEK 9,097 M (9,618), with the decline primarily due to an increase in the number of property projects recognized in profit. The return on capital employed was 21 percent (18).

Market development

The Nordic construction market is showing high growth. It is expected to grow by 4.8 percent in 2017 and 2.6 percent in 2018. Major projects in the Nordic region are attracting international interest and competition. In cities showing growth, the battle for competencies is intensive. GDP in the Nordic region is expected to grow by 2 percent annually in 2017 and 2018.

Civil Engineering – high growth in Norway

Infrastructure initiatives are market drivers in Norway and Sweden. The Norwegian market is expected to grow by 7.5–11 percent annually up to 2019, while the Swedish market is expected to grow 3 percent annually during 2018–19. The civil engineering market in Finland is expected to decline by 2 percent in 2017 and to show zero growth in 2018. Denmark will have negative growth in 2017.

Construction - new production fueling growth

The growth expectations for new production in the Nordic region have been raised sharply for 2017. In 2018, the growth rate will normalize. The Swedish construction market is expected to grow by a full 8 percent in 2017 and by 3 percent in 2018. The Norwegian market is expected to grow by 4 percent in 2017 and the growth will mainly occur in the Oslo region. In Finland, the market will grow by 4 percent in 2017. In 2018, a reduction in new housing production will coincide with lower public-sector spending, and new production in Finland is expected to decline by 2 percent. In Denmark, a 10-percent increase in new production of housing will contribute to estimated growth of slightly more than 2 percent in 2017.

Industry - civil engineering market fueling growth

A strong civil engineering market in 2017 is driving growth in demand for asphalt and stone materials in the Nordic region. The market for both stone materials and asphalt is expected to grow, driven mainly by infrastructure and housing projects in Sweden and Norway, while lower growth is expected in Finland and Denmark. Within asphalt, market growth in Finland is expected to approach 10 percent in 2017. The Danish market will show weak growth until 2018. The market for foundation engineering is expected to grow by more than 5 percent in 2017.

Property – high activity

Keen international interest, urbanization and the quest for yield are the activity drivers in the market. The Stockholm and Gothenburg property markets remain highly active, with low vacancy rates and rising rents. The capacity ceiling is approaching in such countries as Sweden, which is expected to increase inflation. This should reduce activity somewhat and increase sensitivity in the future. In the Stockholm Central Business District (CBD), the vield is about to rise from a very low level, while it continues to dedecline or remains unchanged in CBDs in other markets in the Nordic region. In the Danish market, marginally increasing yield requirements and an increase in new investments are expected during 2017. In Oslo, economic uncertainty moving forward will result in a slowdown in the increase in rent levels. The rent levels in central Helsinki are rising slightly and the level of vacancies is expected to decline moving forward.

NCC Building

The period January-June 2017

Orders received and order backlog

Orders received by NCC Building in the second quarter increased to SEK 9,058 M (7,843) and amounted to SEK 12,808 M (13,225) for the first half of the year. In the second quarter, orders received increased in the Swedish and Danish markets, but this did not fully offset the lower level reported in the first quarter. In Finland, the market is challenging with intense competition. During the second quarter, a number of large-scale projects were secured, including housing and office projects in Sweden.

The order backlog rose SEK 3,375 M in the first half of the year to SEK 30,153 M at the end of the period.

Net sales and earnings

Net sales declined to SEK 6,147 M (6,849) in the second quarter and to SEK 11,821 M (12,238) for the first half of the year. The decrease during the quarter was due to lower sales in Denmark and Finland. NCC Building's net sales consist mainly of housing production, followed by refurbishment. In terms of sales, Sweden is the largest market and the Swedish proportion of orders received also increased in the first half of the year.

Operating profit totaled SEK 144 M (150) in the second quarter and SEK 200 M (220) for the first half of the year. Earnings during the quarter declined due to lower sales but the operating margin improved somewhat. Earnings for the first half of the year were lower year-on-year, due mainly to the first quarter's impairment losses of SEK 50 M on housing projects in the Finnish market. Earnings in Norway improved but remain negative, primarily due to a nonexistent margin on ongoing previously impaired projects.

Orders received and order backlog

Orders received by NCC Infrastructure decreased to SEK 4,483 M (6,540) in the second quarter and amounted to SEK 9,511 M (9,406) for the first half of the year. The Civil Engineering division and the Infraservices division both reported declines in orders received during the quarter, primarily due to postponement of projects in the Swedish operation. Projects secured in the second quarter mainly comprised groundworks and road works.

The order backlog rose SEK 1,529 M in the first half of the year to SEK 18,019 M at the end of the period.

Net sales and earnings

Net sales amounted to SEK 4,539 M (4,250) in the second quarter and to SEK 7,943 M (7,615) for the first half of the year. The increase in the second quarter derived from higher sales in the Infraservices division.

NCC Infrastructure's net sales largely comprise earth and groundworks and road contracts, which have a major impact on net sales, accounting for more than half.

Operating profit declined year-on-year to SEK 70 M (93) in the second quarter and SEK 43 M (82) for the first half of the year. The weak result for the first half of the year was mainly due to the completion of projects with weaker profitability combined with a low work-up rate and thus cautious recognition of profit from new projects.

Significant risks and uncertainties

An account of the risks to which NCC may be exposed is presented in the 2016 Annual Report (pages 51–53). This description remains relevant.

Related-party transactions

Related parties are the Nordstjernan Group (including the associated company Bonava), NCC's subsidiaries, associated companies and joint arrangements. Related-party transactions were of a production character. Related-company sales in the second quarter totaled SEK 823 M (1,489) and purchases SEK 1 M (116). Relatedcompany sales in the first half of the year totaled SEK 1,690 M $(1,979)$ and purchases SEK 156 M $(263)$ .

MAJOR PROPERTY SALES

NCC is divesting the Önskebrunnen logistics project in Brunna for an agreed property value of some SEK 150 M. The buyer is NREP Logicenters.

NCC and Platzer have signed an agreement for a transaction involving joint development of a project in Gårda and they also intend to implement a property deal in central Mölndal.

The parties also agreed that Platzer will repurchase NCC's 50-percent share when the property is completed. Construction is scheduled to start in the first quarter of 2018 with completion scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2020. A prerequisite for the transaction is that the detailed development plan gains legal force. The transaction also entails that Platzer intends to acquire future NCC's projects in central Mölndal.

Note 5. 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 prices quoted on an active market for the same instruments. Derivatives in level 2 comprise currency forward contracts, crosscurrency swaps, interest-rate swaps, oil forward contracts, as well as electricity forward contracts used for hedging purposes. The measurement to fair value of currency-forward contracts, cross-currency swaps, 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 interestrate swaps is based on forward interest rates based on observable yield curves. NCC has no financial instruments in level 3.
