* 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 operations comprise Bonava's profit for January 1 to June 7 plus the difference between Bonava's market capitalization on its listing date and Bonava's equity at the spinoff date.
Earnings in the third quarter were a disappointment, mainly due to impairment losses on projects in Norway. However, it was gratifying to note that NCC's positive order trend continued in the third quarter, with a 25-percent year-on-year rise in orders received. The favorable trend of orders received is now beginning to impact somewhat on sales, which increased slightly in the quarter compared with the year-earlier period.
The outlook for NCC's markets is generally favorable. Orders received in the third quarter were 25 percent higher year-on-year and the increase for the first nine months of the year was 12 percent. In the quarter, orders received were primarily driven by housing and offices, and during the report period also by largescale civil engineering projects. During the year to date, we have added to our order backlog, which totaled SEK 47.2 billion at the end of the period, a rise of SEK 5.7 billion year-on-year.
As previously communicated, the management of the new business areas, NCC Building and NCC Infrastructure, has scrutinized the Norwegian part of the operations, thus resulting in impairment losses of SEK 290 M on projects in the quarter.
Orders received have increased during the year to date and are now beginning to have an impact, particularly in NCC Building, whose sales rose 9 percent in the quarter. Although orders received by NCC Infrastructure increased in the quarter, the higher order backlog has yet to impact on sales, which matched the year-earlier level. The earnings in these business ar as were close to zero in the quarter.
NCC Industry continues to perform better year-onyear, with third-quarter improvements in both earnings and the operating margin. The reasons underlying the earnings improvements were a slightly higher volume of stone materials and asphalt sold year-onyear, an improved product mix and effects of restructuring measures implemented in Denmark in 2015.
Lower net sales and margins led to reduced earnings for NCC Property Development in the quarter. Two new property projects were started, one in Finland and one in Denmark.
Our selling and administrative expenses increased during the year, while the favorable orders received have yet to generate growth in sales. Our aim over time is to maintain selling and administrative expenses at around 5 percent of sales and we are now reviewing the Group's cost structure on the basis of this objective.
Peter Wågström, President and CEO Solna, October 28, 2016
The diagrams show NCC's performance excluding Bonava.
The period January-September 2016
Orders received increased to SEK 12,578 M (10,090) in the quarter and to SEK 40,239 M (35,802) for the report period. Orders received within NCC Building and NCC Infrastructure in the third quarter were higher as a result of healthy orders received within, for example, housing and roads. Orders received by NCC Industry were higher, mainly for stone materials operations. Orders received during the period were impacted by negative exchange-rate effects of SEK 292 M compared with the year-earlier period.
The Group's order backlog totaled SEK 47,219 M (41,517). Changes in exchange rates increased the value of the order backlog by SEK 1,180 M during the period.
Net sales totaled SEK 13,572 M (13,320) in the quarter. Slightly higher sales in the second and third quarter failed to fully offset the lower first-quarter sales. Net sales for the period totaled SEK 36,415 M (36,848). NCC Building reported higher sales in both the quarter and the period.
NCC Infrastructure reported lower sales. NCC Industry's sales matched the year-earlier level. Sales reported by NCC Property Development were lower because fewer property projects were recognized in profit in the period. Changes in exchange rates reduced sales in the period by SEK 433 M year-on-year.
NCC's operating profit was SEK 503 M (721) in the quarter and SEK 792 M (1,027) for the report period. The quarter's operating profit was charged with impairment losses for projects in Norway amounting to SEK 290 M, of which NCC Building accounted for SEK 170 M, NCC Infrastructure for SEK 70 M and corporate allocations (the item "other and eliminations") for SEK 50 M. NCC Industry's earnings improved, primarily as a result of better profitability in Swedish and Danish stone materials operations and Swedish asphalt projects. NCC Property Development's earnings declined because more project sales were recognized in profit in the year-earlier period.
The return on equity is calculated based on NCC's profit excluding Bonava, although shareholders' equity has first been adjusted to take into account the capital contribution from NCC to Bonava in the fourth quarter of 2015, which has an impact on average shareholders' equity.
Net financial items amounted to an expense of SEK 81 M (expense: 26). The comparative figure for the yearearlier period does not include the effect of the capital contribution of SEK 5 billion to Bonava prior to its Initial Public Offering (IPO).
The Group's cash flow from operating activities was a negative SEK 1,599 M (neg: 495). Net investments were negative SEK 933 M (neg: 579). Cash flow was charged with SEK 2,333 M (charge: 1,727) for changes in working capital. Cash flow before financing was a negative SEK 2,533 M (neg: 1,074). The change was due primarily to the distribution of Bonava's cash assets and to other changes in working capital. Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the quarter totaled SEK 1,708 M (1,787).
Due to the spinoff of Bonava, the Group's net indebtedness declined and amounted to SEK 2,756 M (9,130) at September 30.
The average maturity period for interest-bearing liabilities, excluding pension debt according to IAS 19, was 38 (30) months at the end of the quarter, at which date NCC's unutilized committed lines of credit totaled SEK 4.2 billion (4.8), with an average remaining maturity of 46 (41) months.
The Group's total assets amounted to SEK 26,062 M (40,912) at September 30. Total assets declined by SEK 14,850 M, or 36 percent, year-on-year. The decrease in total assets was due to the spinoff of Bonava.
Capital employed at September 30 amounted to SEK 9,551 M (19,220), with the decline primarily due to the spinoff of Bonava. The return on capital employed, calculated on a 12-month rolling basis, was 18 percent (14).

The United Kingdom's planned exit from a weakened EU and the indebtedness of banks are the dominant features of the short-term uncertainty in Europe. This factor, combined with the EU's need of structural reforms and an aging population, will limit growth moving forward. The estimate is that annual growth in the immediate future will be 1.5–2 percent. The Nordic construction market is showing strong growth during 2016 (6 percent), although the rate will then decline significantly in 2017.
In the wake of large-scale infrastructural programs, the Nordic market will grow by 5 percent this year and next. The major projects are attracting considerable international interest. The large-scale investments will result in total annual growth in Sweden of 2.4 percent during 2016-17. In Norway, the investments are leading to annual growth of 10 percent. In Finland, the market will continue to show low growth up to 2017, despite investments in urbanized areas. In Denmark, growth in investments will decline up to 2017 since the major projects are now being completed.
In Norway, the downturn in private investments, due to the drop in oil prices, is being offset by increased public pending and continued forcefulness in urbanization. Sweden is displaying robust growth in new production during 2016, with urbanization and a structural housing
deficit as the drivers. Capacity ceilings, increasing interest rates and mortgage prepayment requirements will normalize growth after 2016. In Finland, the market as a whole is estimated to grow sharply in 2016 and then to decline in 2017 while, in such urbanized areas as Helsinki, the market for housing is expected to grow throughout the period up to 2018. In Denmark, growth is occurring in the production of new housing.
Good access to capital and low vacancy rates are resulting in an active market in attractive metropolitan areas. Transaction volumes have risen in recent years, with ever increasing interest from major international players. The trend in Stockholm is for continued lower yields and declining vacancy rates. A rising yield is noted in Copenhagen.
The overall Nordic market is expected to show sharp growth, driven by large-scale civil engineering investments in primarily Sweden and Norway. During the period 2016-17, growth of 5-10 percent is expected in Sweden and Norway. The Finnish market is showing weaker but positive growth, due to urbanization. In Denmark, growth is under pressure from the wait for the start-up of the Fehrman Belt Link, lower volume from the Copenhagen city circle line and public sector investments.
The period January-September 2016 Product mix
Orders received by NCC Building increased to SEK 6,528 M (4,388) in the third quarter and to SEK 19,753 M (16,652) for the report period. The rise in orders received resulted from the receipt of a number of large-scale projects, including two housing projects and an office property in Sweden. In the third quarter, housing constituted the largest product category within orders received, followed by offices and schools.
During the period, the order backlog increased by SEK 2,337 M to SEK 27,513 M. Compared with September 30, 2015, the order backlog is SEK 4,114 M higher.
Net sales increased in the third quarter to SEK 6,033 M (5,527) and to SEK 18,271 M (17,648) for the period. Higher sales in the second and third quarter, in all markets, offset lower sales in the first quarter.
NCC Buildings' net sales consist mainly of housing production, followed by refurbishment. The hospital category is expected to increase its share of net sales, as a result of a number of sizeable orders for new hospitals. In terms of sales, Sweden is the largest market and the Swedish proportion of orders received also increased.
Operating profit declined year-on-year to SEK 1 M (58) in the quarter and to SEK 221 M (319) in the period. The lower profit during the period was due primarily to higher overhead costs and impairment losses on projects. In the third quarter, impairment losses on projects in Norway totaled SEK 170 M.

The period January-September 2016 Product mix
Orders received by NCC Infrastructure totaled SEK 3,968 M (3,301) in the quarter and SEK 13,374 M (11,497) during the period. The increase was attributable to a favorable level of orders received in the second and third quarter. The Civil Engineering and Infra Services divisions both showed increases during the period. The rise in orders received by Infraservices in the third quarter was mainly due to Swedish earth and groundwork operations, and that in road services operations was due to the receipt of two Finnish operating contracts.
In line with its strategy, NCC is focusing on increasing the share of major civil engineering projects. Due to projects received, the share of roadwork increased during the period. In Sweden and Norway, multiple large-scale civil engineering projects are in the procurement stage.
The order backlog rose by SEK 2,394 M during the period to SEK 16,712 M, up SEK 1,167 M year-on-year
NCC Infrastructure's sales during the period totaled SEK 11,602 M (11,896). The decrease in net sales was accounted for by Civil Engineering.
NCC Infrastructure's net sales consist predominantly of earth and groundworks. Earth and groundworks and operation and maintenance contracts have a major impact on net sales, accounting for more than half. Accordingly, they also have a considerable impact on growth and profitability.
Operating profit declined year-on-year to SEK 3 M (127) in the quarter and to SEK 85 M (279) in the period. The weak earnings for the quarter were mainly due to impairment losses of SEK 70 M on projects in Norway and to weak earnings in Infraservices. The lower earnings during the period were due to impairment losses on projects, lower net sales and weaker earnings within Infraservices.

The period January-September 2016 Product mix
Net sales matched the year-earlier period both during the period and in the third quarter. Net sales for the period totaled SEK 7,520 M (7,514). The volume of stone materials sold was marginally higher in all markets apart from Denmark, which noted lower volumes due to the closure of quarries in western Denmark in 2015. The volume of asphalt sold during the period increased in Sweden, Norway and Finland and was somewhat lower year-on-year in other markets. Sales reported by Hercules (foundation engineering) during the period were slightly higher year-on-year, primarily due to high activity in the Swedish market.
Earnings improved year-on-year and amounted to SEK 442 M (397) in the third quarter and to SEK 407 M (273) for the period. Profit from the asphalt and stone materials divisions improved. Stone materials operations improved as a result of better earnings from projects in Sweden and effects of restructuring measures implemented in Denmark in 2015. Profit from asphalt operations improved in Sweden, Denmark and Norway. Hercules improved its earnings in the Swedish operations.
Capital employed has increased seasonally by SEK 0.9 billion since year-end and amounted to SEK 4.4 billion.

The period January-September 2016 Product mix
Net sales during the period declined year-on-year to SEK 1,331 M (1,950). During the period, two projects were recognized in profit; the Hyllie office project in Malmö, Sweden, and the retail park in Matinkylä in Espoo, Finland. In addition to Matinkylä, part of a minor, previously completed, property project was also recognized in thirdquarter profit. Five projects were recognized in profit in the year-earlier period.
Operating profit was SEK 32 M (140) in the third quarter and to SEK 126 M (218) for the period. Earnings from profit-recognized projects and previous sales con-tributed to third-quarter profit. In the year-earlier period, projects generating higher profit were recognized in profit.
Construction of six projects started during January-September: the CH Vallensbaek 4.1 and Fredriks Plads office projects in Denmark, the Alberga E office project in Finland, the Surpeelto retail park in Finland, and the Arendal 2 and Vattenbrunnen logistics projects in Sweden.
Leasing during the January-September period was healthy and totaled 47,200 square meters (56,800), of which 10,300 (22,100) pertained to the third quarter.
At the end of the quarter, 18 (14) projects were either ongoing or completed but not yet recognized in profit. The costs incurred in all projects amounted to SEK 3.2 billion (3.0), corresponding to a completion rate of 70 (56) percent. The leasing rate was 71 (72) percent. The operating net for the period was SEK 57 M (66), of which SEK 14 M (21) pertained to the quarter.
During the period, capital employed rose SEK 0.5 billion, mainly due to increased production in ongoing projects, and to the start-up of projects. Capital employed totaled SEK 5.0 billion.

1) The tables refer to ongoing or completed property projects that have not yet been recognized as revenue. In addition to these, NCC is working on leasing (rental guarantees/supplementary sales prices) for five previously sold and profit-recognized property projects, a maximum of approximately SEK 40 M. 2) The project is operated by a project company jointly owned by NCC and Citycon, 50 per cent each. Citycon will acquire NCC´s share when the building is completed and the agreed conditions are fullfilled.
An account of the risks to which NCC may be exposed is presented in the 2015 Annual Report (pages 48-50). This description remains relevant.
The companies related to the Parent Company are the Nordstjernan Group, the Axel Johnson Group, the Fast-Partner Group and NCC's subsidiaries, as well as associated companies and joint ventures. The Parent Company's related-party transactions were of a production character. Related-company sales in the third quarter amounted to SEK 802 M (11) and purchases to SEK 251 M (113). For the January-September period, related-company sales amounted to SEK 1,160 M (39) and purchases to SEK 515 M (355).
NCC Industry's operations and certain operations in NCC Building and NCC Infrastructure are impacted by seasonal variations due to cold weather. The first quarter is normally weaker than the rest of the year.
NCC's Annual General Meeting (AGM) on April 12 resolved to spin off all of the shares of HoldCo Residential 1 AB (publ), Corp. Reg. No. 556928-0380 (Bonava, previously NCC Housing), and to pay a cash dividend of SEK 3.00 per share with November 7, 2016 as the record date. The shares in Bonava was distributed to the shareholders in June.
During the third quarter, NCC AB bought back Series B treasury shares to meet its obligations pursuant to longterm incentive programs and 362,222 Series B shares were held in treasury at the end of the period.
On July 18, NCC bought back bonds with a nominal value of SEK 564 M of the bonds issued by the company. The reason for buying back the bonds was that NCC's financing requirements have declined following the spinoff of Bonava in June 2016.

Peter Wågström President and CEO This is a translation from the Swedish original
NCC AB (publ), corporate identity number 556034-5174
We have reviewed the condensed interim report for NCC AB (publ) as at September 30, 2016 and for the nine months period then ended. The Board of Directors and the Managing Director are responsible for the preparation and presentation of this interim report in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim report based on our review.
We conducted our review in accordance with the International Standard on Review Engagements, ISRE 2410 Review of Interim Financial Statements Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity. A review consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing and other generally accepted auditing standards in Sweden. The procedures performed in a review do not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim report is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act regarding the Group, and in accordance with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act regarding the Parent Company.

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, cross-currency swaps, interest-rate swaps, oil futures, as well as electricity futures 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 published forward rates in an active market. The measurement of interest-rate swaps is based on forward interest rates prepared based on observable yield curves. NCC has no financial instruments in level 3.

1) Since sureties for companies of the Bonava Group have not been eliminated, sureties still remaining as outstanding in NCC AB on behalf of Bonava companies have been included in this item. Procurement in respect of a formal removal of the sureties from NCC is under way and agreement is expected shortly concerning the responsibility for approximately two thirds of the outstanding volume (collateral for deposits and concession fees). The remaining volume, including collateral for agreements concerning future development, have beneficiaries in the form of municipalities and private-sector companies and these are expected to be finalized during the autumn/winter of 2016/2017. As a result of agreements between NCC AB and Bonava AB, however, NCC AB has been indemnified by Bonava AB for all undertakings.
