Comments from the CEO

"The uncertainly in Europe has increased during the year; however, the demand for affordable housing is strong in all of our markets."

The market

The market continued to develop positively during the second quarter and in line with the trend we noted at the start of the year. The demand in our markets generally remained favourable, not least in the consumer segments in Sweden and Germany. During the quarter, there were indications that housing prices in Sweden were levelling off. What longterm consequences this will have is too early to say. I would not be surprised if prices levelled off somewhat. As in the last quarter, we sold land at loss in the Baltics. The divestments are part of our work with refining our portfolio, so that resources can be allocated to our growth regions in accordance with our strategy. As a result of the divestments, the phase of tidying up the portfolio is now behind us.

Earnings outcome

Net sales increased during the quarter and operating profit amounted to SEK 165 million (108). Number of housing starts for consumers and investors totalled 1,506. Housing starts for consumers amounted to 974, which was 103 fewer than in the corresponding quarter of 2015. Number of housing starts for investors amounted to 532 (326). Accordingly, the number of housing units in production amounted to 9,016, compared with 8,439 on 30 June 2015.

We delivered more housing units during the quarter compared with the corresponding quarter of 2015 and overall we deliver a good result. Particularly when considering that the result includes the sale of land at a loss in the Baltics of SEK 51 million, non-recurring costs of SEK 23 million connected to the establishment of Bonava as an independent company, and that less units were recognised for profit in Finland.

Group performance

An important milestone during the quarter was the sale of about 350 environmental classified rental apartments to the pension fund Första AP Fonden's housing company, Willhem, for approximately SEK 600 million. The transaction included about 130 apartments that are under construction in Linköping, and

221 housing units in Karlstad, for which production started during the quarter. The transactions will be recognised for profit during the first quarter of 2017 and the fourth quarter of 2018, respectively, when completion is expected.

This represented our first major transaction to the investor market for rental apartments in Sweden, a market segment in which we have great belief in and in which we expect long-term growth.

Another milestone was the listing of Bonava. My view is that we have been well received by the market, which is gratifying. During the quarter, our operations in Germany was in the spotlight after achieving first place for the fourth consecutive year in the ranking of the largest German housing developers, for which we are all very proud.

During the quarter we launched our new brand and in connection with that we launched our customer websites for Bonava in all eight countries.

Future

At the end of the quarter, 73 per cent of all housing units in production had been sold.

Looking ahead, we expect that Germany and Sweden will continue to be strong markets. This does not necessarily mean that prices in the Swedish market will continue to rise. In Germany, we foresee continued price increases, although the rate of increase will generally be slow. In Finland, we have yet to see any distinct reversal of the weak economic situation, while the market trend in St. Petersburg remains relatively slow

The uncertainly in Europe has increased during the year; however, the demand for affordable housing is strong in all of our markets. With our geographical spread, our consumer and investor businesses and our focus on affordable and sustainable housing units, I am convinced that we have an interesting market position and potential.

Joachim Hallengren, President and CEO

Bonava in brief

Bonava is a leading residential development company in Northern Europe. Born out of NCC, Bonava has been creating homes and neighbourhoods since the 1930's. Today Bonava has 1,400 employees and operates in Sweden, Finland, Denmark, Norway, Germany, St. Petersburg, Estonia and Latvia with sales of SEK 13 billion. Bonava's shares are listed on Nasdaq Stockholm.

Vision

To create happy neighbourhoods where people have the highest quality of life.

Our vision is to create vibrant locations where people can feel at home and be happy. Obviously, this means different things to different people and can change over time. Accordingly, we always endeavour to learn and understand what makes people happy where they live. Dreams and wishes aside, we are convinced that vibrant locations are not created simply at the stroke of a pen. In fact, this is only the starting point.

Business concept

Bonava develops and sells affordable and sustainable housing units to consumers and investors in selected markets in Sweden, Germany, Finland, Denmark, Norway, St. Petersburg and Estonia/Latvia. Bonava is active through the whole process, from land acquisition until transfer of the housing unit to the customer, in order to ensure customer focus throughout the whole value chain.

Strategy

  • Enhance differentiation through an increased customer focus
  • Focus on affordable and sustainable housing units in Sweden, Germany, Finland, Denmark, Norway, St. Petersburg and Estonia/Latvia
  • Focusing capital allocation to high-growth regions
  • Grow and capitalise on Bonava's strong position in the German market
  • Retain cost leadership in Germany and Estonia/Latvia while improving the cost position in the nordic markets
  • An enhanced degree of industrialisation and standardisation

Market performance

Demand remained favourable in Sweden and Germany. Increases in housing prices in Sweden are showing signs of levelling off. In Finland the economy is weak but prices increased and continued to recover slightly. In Finland, demand in the investor market and among consumers is stronger for small, affordable housing units than the housing market in general. Demand for housing units remained favourable in Copenhagen and prices in Denmark rose. In Norway, demand improved and prices increased during the quarter. In St. Petersburg, the market remains cautious.

April–June 2016

Operational performance Net sales

Net sales amounted to SEK 2,703 million (1,864). The increase was primarily attributable to housing units delivered to consumers in Sweden. During the quarter, a total of 895 (721) housing units for consumers, and 206 (131) housing units for investors, were recognised for profit. The average price per housing unit for consumers was SEK 2.5 million (2.2). Changes in exchange rates had a negative impact of SEK 96 million on the Group's net sales year-on-year.

In Sweden, the number of housing units delivered to consumers rose as did the average price. During the quarter, one project for investors was recognised for profit and revenues from sales of land were lower year-on-year. In Germany, the number of housing units delivered to consumers rose at a higher average price.

Net sales in Finland declined since fewer housing units for consumers and no housing units for investors were recognised for profit. Net sales in Denmark-Norway declined since fewer units were delivered to consumers. However, the average price increased during the quarter. Sales of land were higher than last year.

In St. Petersburg, net sales increased during the quarter, as a result of more profit-recognised housing units for both consumers and investors.

Operating profit

Operating profit for the period totalled SEK 165 million (108). The increase derived mainly from higher net sales with improved margins in projects for consumers in Sweden, as well as increased volumes in St. Petersburg. The result from sales of land during the quarter amounted to a loss of SEK 28 million (profit: 49), of which sales of non-priority land in Latvia, in order to allocate resources to our growth regions, accounted for a loss of SEK 51 million. Changes in exchange rates had a negative year-on-year impact on earnings of SEK 19 million.

Sweden accounted for a large portion of the Group's earnings during the quarter as a result of improved profit from housing units for consumers. Profit from sales of land in Sweden amounted to SEK 15 million (31). In Germany, earnings improved since more housing units were delivered to consumers during the quarter.

Profit in Denmark-Norway improved as a result of increased margins on housing units for consumers. Profit for the yearearlier period was charged with impairment losses of SEK 48 million on a project in Stavanger. Profit in Finland declined, due to a decreased number of profit-recognised housing units for both consumers and investors. In St. Petersburg, profit improved as a result of a higher number of housing units being delivered to consumers and investors.

The organisational realignment due to being listed on Nasdaq Stockholm resulted in one-off costs of SEK 23 million during the quarter.

Net financial items, tax and profit for the period Net financial items amounted to SEK -73 million (-96). This improvement was attributable to lower net debt. Profit before tax for the second quarter of 2016 totalled SEK 92 million (12).

Tax on profit for the period amounted to SEK -18 million (-3), corresponding to a tax rate of 20 per cent (21).

Profit for the period after tax amounted to SEK 74 million (9).

January–June 2016

Group development

Net sales

Net sales amounted to SEK 4,581 million (3,628). Higher net sales in Sweden and St. Petersburg were offset by lower net sales in Denmark-Norway and Finland. During the first six months, a total of 1,524 (1,192) housing units for consumers, and 206 (328) housing units for investors, were recognised for profit. The average price per housing unit for consumers was SEK 2.6 million (2.5). Changes in exchange rates had a negative year-on-year impact of SEK 136 million on the Group's net sales.

In Sweden, the number of housing units delivered to consumers rose as did the average price. Net sales from investors in Sweden rose. Net sales in Germany declined year-on-year since no housing units for investors were recognised for profit. In the preceding year, one investor deal in Germany was recognised for profit in the first quarter.

Net sales in Finland declined since fewer housing units for consumers, and no housing units for investors, were recognised for profit.

Net sales in Denmark-Norway declined since fewer units were delivered to consumers. In St. Petersburg, net sales for the quarter increased as a result of a larger number of housing units for consumers, and one project for investors, being recognised for profit.

Operating profit

Operating profit for the period totalled SEK 349 million (182). Profit from projects for consumers improved, primarily in Sweden where a number of projects were recognised for profit at strong margins, while profit from projects for investors declined. The result from sales of land amounted to SEK -19 million (62), of which sales of land in Latvia accounted for a loss of SEK 89 million. Changes in exchange rates had a negative year-on-year impact on earnings of SEK 25 million.

In Sweden, improvements were noted in both net sales and margins in projects for consumers. One project for investors was completed without any impact on earnings, since it pertained to a loss-making project for which a provision was posted earlier. Profit from sales of land amounted to SEK 61 million (43).

In Germany, earnings declined since fewer housing units were delivered to consumers and no projects for investors were recognised for profit. In the preceding year, one project for an investor in Germany was recognised for profit.

A loss was reported in Finland since few housing units for consumers and no housing units for investors were recognised for profit. Profit in Denmark-Norway improved as a result of increased margins on housing units for consumers. Profit for the year-earlier period was charged with impairment losses of SEK 48 million on projects in Stavanger during the second quarter. In St. Petersburg, profit improved as a result of a higher number of housing units being delivered to consumers and a project for investors being recognised for profit.

The organisational realignment due to being listed on Nasdaq Stockholm resulted in one-off costs of SEK 34 million during the first six months.

Net financial items, tax and profit for the period Net financial items amounted to SEK -143 million (-181). This improvement was attributable to lower net debt. Profit before tax for the first half of 2016 totalled SEK 206 million (0).

Tax on profit for the period amounted to SEK -44 million (0), corresponding to a tax rate of 21 per cent (–).

Profit for the period after tax amounted to SEK 162 million (0).

Financial position, investments and cash flow

Total assets

Total assets amounted to SEK 17,881 million (16,749). The increase was primarily due to an increase in receivables and in cash.

Net debt

Net debt totalled SEK 5,080 million (10,620), of which net debt in Swedish tenant-owner associations and Finnish housing companies accounted for SEK 3,709 million (3,179). Net debt declined compared to last year, mainly because of the shareholders' contribution of SEK 5.0 billion received from NCC AB in December 2015. As per 31 March 2016, net debt amounted to SEK 4,552 million.

Capital employed and return on capital employed

The return on capital employed was 14 per cent (8). This improvement was attributable to higher operating profit and lower average capital employed. Capital employed amounted to SEK 10,984 million (11,405) as per 30 June 2016. The decline in capital employed was mainly a result of an increase in interest-free financing. As per 31 March 2016, capital employed amounted to SEK 10,236 million.

In Sweden, properties held for future development and ongoing production declined, at the same time as interest-free project financing increased and tied-up capital was lower than at 30 June 2015. Accordingly, when combined with the improved profit, this resulted in an increase in the return on capital employed.

In Germany, properties held for future development and ongoing housing projects increased, which was partially offset by an increase in advances from customers, since the sales rate was high. The return on capital employed was lower yearon-year, due to an increase in tied-up capital.

In Finland, capital tied up in land and completed housing units declined. The return on capital employed decreased, due to the lower earnings. In Denmark-Norway, capital tied-up in completed housing units declined, while interest-free financing of land and ongoing projects increased. The return on capital employed was higher, thanks to improved earnings and lower average tied-up capital.

In St. Petersburg, the value of land and ongoing projects declined, while capital employed increased due to a reduction in interest-free financing. The return on capital employed was higher, thanks to the improved earnings.

Net debt

Cash flow before financing

continued. Financial position, investments and cash flow

Equity/assets and debt/equity ratio

The equity/assets ratio as per 30 June 2016 was 27 per cent (1). Bonava's equity/assets ratio is affected by seasonal effects since the company's assets increase in the first three quarters of the year and then decline in the fourth quarter, when a large number of housing units are delivered to customers and recognised for profit.

The debt/equity ratio was 1.0 (53.0).

The change in the equity/assets ratio the and debt/equity ratio between 30 June 2016 and the same date in the preceding year was mainly due to the shareholder contribution of SEK 5.0 billion received from NCC AB in December 2015.

Cash flow for the quarter April–June

Cash flow before financing was SEK -285 million (-392). The improved earnings generated higher cash flow from operating activities before changes in working capital. Good sales facilitated an increased number of housing starts and thus higher production, particularly in Germany and Sweden. Investments in properties held for future development also rose, mainly in Germany. Cash flow from sales rose, thanks to a larger number of housing units being delivered to consumers. Other changes in working capital were impacted positively by increased interest-free financing of both land investments and housing projects under construction.

Cash flow for the first half of 2016, January–June

Cash flow before financing was SEK -861 million (-846). Improved earnings generated higher cash flow from operating activities before changes in working capital. Increased investments in land and ongoing housing projects, particularly in Sweden and Germany, exceeded cash flow from sales of housing projects, and cash flow from housing projects deteriorated year-on-year. Improvements were noted in other changes in working capital as a result of an increase in interest-free financing of housing projects. Investments, primarily in new IT systems, increased year-on-year.

Seasonal effects

Bonava recognizes revenues and earnings from housing sales when the sold and completed units are delivered to customers. Bonava's operations are affected by seasonal variations due to cold weather and the company's cyclical production year. A large share of the annual production is completed and transferred to customers during the fourth quarter. Accordingly, earnings are normally stronger in the fourth quarter than in other quarters as illustrated on page seven in the graph Estimated completion per quarter.

Housing sales, housing starts and building rights

Comments, April–June 2016

Housing sales and housing starts

During the second quarter, 1,100 housing units (1,277) were sold to consumers and 663 housing units (195) to investors. In the year earlier period, sales were exceptionally high in St. Petersburg, where market conditions have weakened. Stable demand for rental units in our markets is the reason for the improvement in sales of housing units to investors. During the same quarter, 974 (1,077) housing units were started for consumers and 532 (326) for investors.

Housing units in ongoing production 30 June 2016

As per 30 June 2016, the number of housing units in ongoing production for consumers amounted to 6,710 (6,538) and ongoing housing units for investors was 2,306 (1,901). The increase resulted from the high sales rate in ongoing production, which enabled a large number of housing starts. The sales rate as per 30 June 2016 was 64 per cent (70) for housing units for consumers and 100 per cent (93) for housing units for investors. The completion rate at the same date was 53 per cent (53) and 58 per cent (72), respectively.

Comments January–June 2016

Housing sales and housing starts

During the period, a total of 1,888 housing units (2,292) were sold to consumers and 663 (322) housing units to investors. The number of housing starts was 1,721 (1,665) for consumers and 532 (453) for investors. The high sales rate in production facilitated an increase in housing starts during the period.

Estimated completions per quarter

As more housing units are started, enabled by good sales, the number of completions per quarter is estimated to increase. For Germany, the production lead times are relatively short and the sales rate was high.

Building rights 30 June 2016

Building rights totalled 28,600 (30,100), of which 19,100 (20,400) were reported in the balance sheet. This decline was due to active portfolio management, which resulted in land in non-prioritised markets being divested and an increase in the number of housing starts.

Unsold, completed housing units at period end The number of unsold, completed housing units at period end was 137 (206). All of these housing units are for consumers.

Significant risks and uncertainties

Bonava's operations are exposed to several types of risks, both operational and financial. Operational risks impact the Group's daily operations. This type of risk may pertain 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 established by Bonava. The segments assess and manage risk through operational systems as well as developed processes and procedures.

The Group's financial risks such as interest-rate, currency, refinancing, liquidity and credit risks are managed centrally in order to minimise and control the risk exposure.

Credit risks are managed by the individual segment. A centralised insurance function is responsible for Group-wide nonlife and liability insurance, primarily property and contractor's insurance. This function also performs preventive risk-management work together with the segments, thus resulting in cost-efficiency and coordination of insurable risks. The risk that Bonava may fail to comply with the company's Code of Conduct is managed by the CSR Compliance function.

Legal structure

Effective 12 April 2016, NCC distributed all of the shares in Bonava AB to the shareholders.

Notes

NOTE 1 Basis for preparation and accounting policies

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 formation of the Bonava Group was completed on 31 March 2016, when the Finnish operations were acquired from NCC AB. Accordingly, consolidated financial statements have been prepared as of this date.

Up to 31 March 2016, Bonava constituted a segment within the NCC AB group. No consolidated financial statements have been prepared for earlier periods, since Bonava was not a group at this time. Because the Group has no financial history, combined financial statements have been prepared for the financial years 2013–2015 and for the comparative figures in this interim report. The basis for preparation of the combined financial statements is presented in Note 1 Significant accounting policies in the combined financial statements, which are available in the Prospectus "Admission to trading of shares of series A and shares of series B in Bonava AB (publ) on Nasdaq Stockholm" published on www.bonava.com.

The formation of the Bonava Group comprised transactions that are under common control. These types of transactions are not regulated by IFRS and the group must instead establisha principle for this. The Group has chosen to apply the policies described under the basis for preparation of the combined financial statements when preparing the consolidated financial statements. In short, this entails that the assets and liabilities of the units have been aggregated and recognised based on the carrying amounts they represent in NCC AB's consolidated financial statements and that the transactions have been recognised as if they had occurred at the beginning of the earliest period presented (meaning that comparative figures have been included).

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 the combined financial statements. These policies are also available at www.bonava.com.

NOTE 5 Fair value of financial instruments

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

Bonava has no financial instruments in level 1 or 3.

Derivatives in level 2 comprise of 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. As per 30 June 2015, the company had one interest-rate swap used for hedging purposes. This was closed in 2015. The measurement of interest-rate swaps is based on forward interest rates prepared on the basis of observable yield curves.

It has been deemed that the fair value of long term and current interest bearing liabilities does not materially deviate 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, the fair value is deemed to match the carrying amount.
