NCC´s net sales increased in the second quarter and we had orders received which lead to an increase in order backlog to over SEK 58 billion. However, earnings were lower, mainly attributable to weak profitability in the construction operations in Norway and the impairment of a housing project in the housing development business in Norway. NCC's profit after financial items was SEK 541 M (576) for the second quarter, and SEK 287 M (336) for the first half of the year.
During the quarter, higher net sales led to improved earnings for construction operations. The operating margin deteriorated slightly. Orders received were lower than in the year-earlier period, but we also signed several major strategic partnering agreements in Sweden, which will lead to orders received in future quarters. These included an agreement with Sörmland County Council for three hospital projects. Strategic partnering is an open alliance across multiple projects with the same team, which from experience leads to higher quality and lower cost. I think we will see more of this in the future.
Overall, the industrial business performed in line with the year-earlier period during the second quarter. Although sales were slightly lower, earnings and the margin were slightly higher. Lower earnings in road services and the stone materials operations were offset by higher earnings in the asphalt operations, primarily in Norway and Finland.
Conditions are favorable in many of our housing markets, and sales are healthy. Earnings were lower year-on-year, since the result was charged with an impairment loss for a housing project in Stavanger, Norway. During the quarter, the total number of construction starts was slightly lower due to fewer starts in St. Petersburg. In Sweden and Germany, we increased the number of starts for private customers.
We started two new property projects in the second quarter, one office project in Finland and the Mölndal Galleria in Sweden. We have worked closely with the municipality and our partners to develop a sustainable and attractive inner-city environment in Mölndal.
NCC has ideal conditions to end the second half of the year on a better note than the year-earlier period. Our order book is well-filled, we notice that sales and earnings are increasing in construction operations and we have more housing projects to recognize in profit.
Peter Wågström, President and CEO Solna, July 17, 2015
Orders received totaled SEK 15,754 M (17,303). Orders received for NCC Construction Sweden were lower in civil engineering and building operations. NCC Construction Denmark declined in building and housing operations. In NCC Construction Finland, orders received were higher for housing operations. Orders received were higher in NCC Roads, NCC Housing and NCC Construction Norway. In NCC Roads, orders received were higher in Road services and Asphalt. Changes in exchange rates increased orders received by SEK 99 M compared with the year-earlier period. The Group's order backlog amounted to SEK 58,380 M. Changes in exchange rates reduced the order backlog by SEK 315 M during the quarter.
Net sales totaled SEK 14,152 M (13,479). Higher sales in NCC Construction Sweden and NCC Construction Denmark offset lower sales in other business areas. For NCC Construction Sweden, sales increased in all operational categories, while housing operations increased in NCC Construction Denmark. Changes in exchange rates had a positive impact of SEK 71 M on sales compared with the year-earlier period.
NCC's operating profit was lower than the year-earlier period and totaled SEK 649 M (677). Earnings were higher in NCC's Construction units in Sweden and Denmark due to higher sales. NCC Property Development posted higher earnings, attributable to a combination of project sales, higher property management earnings and sales of land. NCC Roads, which accounted for a major portion of the Group's earnings during the quarter, delivered earnings that were marginally higher than the year-earlier period. NCC Housing's earnings were lower during the quarter due to impairment of a project in Stavanger with SEK 48 M. NCC Construction Norway's earnings were charged with impairment losses in some building projects.
Cash flow from operating activities improved year-on-year and amounted to negative SEK 1,079 M (neg: 1,267). The improvement was attributable to positive exchange-rate differences. Cash flow from divested housing units was favorable, although slightly lower than the year-earlier period. Cash flow from other working capital was seasonally weak but improved, mainly due to lower accounts receivable compared with the year-earlier period.
NCC Roads' operations and certain operations in NCC's Construction units are impacted by seasonal variations due to cold weather. The first quarter is normally weaker than the rest of the year.
At June 30, net indebtedness (interest-bearing liabilities less cash and cash equivalents less interest-bearing receivables) amounted to SEK 9,725 M (8,760), refer also to Note 5, Specification of net indebtedness. At March 31, 2015, net indebtedness was SEK 8,754 M. The average maturity period for interest-bearing liabilities, excluding loans in Finnish housing companies and Swedish tenantowner associations, as well as pension commitments according to IAS 19, was 32 (33) months at the end of the quarter. NCC's unutilized committed lines of credit at the end of the quarter amounted to SEK 4.7 billion (4.0), with an average remaining maturity of 44 (29) months.
Orders received amounted to SEK 29,122 M (30,527). Orders received were lower in all business areas, except for NCC Roads, compared with the year-earlier period. Changes in exchange rates had a positive year-on-year impact of SEK 255 M on orders received. The order backlog increased and amounted to SEK 58,380 M at the end of the period. Changes in exchange rates reduced the order backlog by SEK 418 M.
Net sales totaled SEK 25,360 M (23,311). The improvement was mainly due to higher sales in NCC Construction Sweden, in all operational categories. NCC Construction Denmark, NCC Housing and NCC Roads also posted higher net sales. Changes in exchange rates had a positive year-on-year impact of SEK 269 M on sales.
NCC's operating profit totaled SEK 489 M (515).
Earnings increased in the Construction units in Sweden and Denmark due to volume growth. NCC Housing's earnings were charged with the impairment of a project in Norway. Net financial items amounted to an expense of SEK 202 M (expense: 178). Increased net indebtedness and higher interest rates in Russia, year-on-year, had a negative impact on the financial net.
Cash flow from operating activities improved during the first half of the year, compared with the year-earlier period, due to lower capital tied-up in housing projects, and a year-on-year improvement in adjustments for non-cash items (essentially depreciation and exchange-rate differences).
At June 30, net indebtedness (interest-bearing liabilities less cash and cash equivalents less interest-bearing receivables) amounted to SEK 9,725 M (8,760), refer also to Note 5, Specification of net indebtedness.

The comparative figures are pro-forma with adjustments because housing production in Russia and the Baltic countries was transferred from NCC Construction Finland to NCC Housing.
Demand in the Swedish construction market is favorable in all segments. In Norway, infrastructure investments are contributing to an expanding civil-engineering market. The Finnish market remained weak. In Denmark, growth was primarily noted in the metropolitan regions of Copenhagen and Aarhus in housing and other buildings segments, in both new builds and refurbishment.
Orders received by all of NCC's Construction units totaled SEK 10,567 M (12,413). Orders received declined in building and civil engineering, but increased in housing. Overall, the order backlog rose SEK 225 M during the quarter and amounted to SEK 37,511 M.
Sales for NCC's Construction units increased to SEK 10,184 M (9,369). Net sales were higher year-on-year in Sweden and Denmark, but lower in Finland and Norway. In Sweden, sales increased in all operational categories, while the increase in Denmark was mainly attributable to housing. In Finland, sales declined primarily in housing operations and in Norway, sales declined in building and housing but increased in civil engineering.
Operating profit for all of NCC's Construction units
totaled SEK 290 M (272). Improved earnings in Sweden and Denmark were mainly derived from increased net sales. In Norway, earnings declined due to the impairment of projects in some building projects. In Finland, earnings were in line with the year-earlier period, despite lower sales.
Orders received by all of NCC's Construction units totaled SEK 18,869 M (21,003). Orders received mainly declined in building operations, but also in civil engineering operations.
Overall, sales in Construction units totaled SEK 19,198 M (17,204). In Sweden, the production of housing increased most, but all operational categories increased. Housing operations also increased in Denmark, but declined in Finland. In Norway, sales in civil engineering operations were higher.
Overall, operating profit totaled SEK 471 M (395). Increased sales contributed to improved earnings for NCC's Construction units in Sweden and Denmark. In Norway, lower sales and administrative costs generated higher earnings. Sales were lower in Finland, which in combination with a lower project margin during the first quarter, led to lower half-year earnings.

1) From 2015, eliminations are included in the business category.
In the second quarter, demand for stone materials was favorable but slightly lower in Sweden due to fewer large civil engineering projects. Demand for asphalt rose yearon-year, primarily in Sweden, Denmark and Finland. Demand in road services was stable, but the market was characterized by intense competition.
Sales amounted to SEK 3,218 M (3,271). Higher volumes in asphalt paving offset lower volumes of stone materials sold.
Operating profit for the quarter totaled SEK 259 M (255). The increase was attributable to higher earnings in the asphalt operations, due to higher paving volumes, and improved margins, primarily in Norway.
Capital employed increased seasonally during the quarter, due to a higher level of activities, and totaled SEK 4.2 billion.
Sales amounted to SEK 4,523 M (4,489). Sales rose for stone materials and asphalt, but were lower in road services due to fewer public contracts.
Capital employed rose SEK 0.6 billion compared with yearend, and totaled SEK 4.2 billion.

Furthermore elimination of internal profits are included, an expense of SEK 16 M (expense: 13) and other Group adjustments, mainly consisting of differences of accounting policy between the segments and the Group (including pensions), an income of SEK 10 M (income: 19).

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 the following three levels. No transfers have been made between the levels during the period.
In level 1, measurement is in accordance with prices quoted on an active market for the same instruments. Derivatives in level 2 comprise currency-forward contracts, cross-currency swaps and interest-rate swaps used for hedging purposes. Fair-value measurement for currencyforward contracts and cross-currency swaps 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.

NCC and Sörmland County Council have signed an agreement to refurbish and expand three hospitals in Södermanland. The total potential order volume is about SEK 3 billion. The partnership is to commence immediately with a planning phase. The modernization of the hospitals in Eskilstuna, Katrineholm and Nyköping will be completed within eight years.
NCC divested a housing project in Frankfurt am Main, Germany, to a German investor for approximately SEK 150 million. The project comprises three properties with a total of 64 rental units.
The Norwegian Court of Appeal ruled to raise the charge imposed on NCC in the asphalt case from NOK 40 M to NOK 150 M. According to NCC, ordering the company to pay such a high charge in the case is unreasonable. It is quite clear that it was a former employee who engaged in illegal cooperation with a competitor. The conduct is disloyal, and violates all instructions and guidelines for the company's business activities. NCC has until mid-September to appeal the decision to the Supreme Court of Norway.

NCC's vision is to renew our industry and provide superior sustainable solutions.
BUSINESS CONCEPT – RESPONSIBLE ENTERPRISE NCC develops and builds future environments for working, living and communication. Supported by its values, NCC and its customers jointly identify needsbased, cost-effective and high-quality solutions that generate added value for all of NCC's stakeholders and contribute to sustainable social development.
NCC's overriding objective is to create value for its customers and shareholders. NCC aims to be a leading player in the markets in which it is active, to offer sustainable solutions and to be the customer's first choice.
NCC aims to generate a healthy return to shareholders under financial stability. The return on equity after tax shall amount to 20 percent. The level for the return target is based on the margins that the various parts of the Group are expected to generate on a sustainable basis, and on capital requirements in relation to the prevailing business focus.
To ensure that the return target is not reached by taking financial risks, net indebtedness, defined as interestbearing liabilities less cash and cash equivalents and
interest-bearing receivables, must never exceed 1.5 times shareholders' equity during any given quarter.
NCC's dividend policy is to distribute at least half of aftertax profit for the year to the shareholders. The aim of the policy is to generate a healthy return for NCC's shareholders and to provide NCC with the potential to invest in its operations and thus ensure that future growth can be created while maintaining financial stability.
NCC conducts integrated construction and development operations in the Nordic region, Germany, Estonia, Latvia and St. Petersburg. The company has three businesses: industrial, construction and civil engineering, as well as development. These businesses generate both operational and financial synergies. The company's operations are organized in seven business areas.
NCC aims to achieve profitable growth and be a leading player in the markets in which it is active. Being a leading player entails being among the top three companies in the industry in terms of profitability and volume. Three markets and areas are prioritized: growth in Norway in all business areas, establishing a presence in the civil engineering market in Finland and expansion of the housing development business in all markets. Growth targets have been established for NCC's various operations during the strategy period.

INDUSTRY-SPECIFIC GLOSSARY
Construction costs: The cost of constructing a building, including building accessories, utility-connection fees, other contractor-related costs and VAT. Construction costs do not include the cost of land.
Required yield: The yield required by purchasers in connection with acquisitions of property and housing projects. Operating revenue less operating and maintenance expenses divided by the investment value, also called yield.
Proprietary project: When NCC, for its own development purposes, acquires land, designs a project, conducts construction work and then sells the project. Pertains to both housing projects and commercial property projects.
Leasing rate: The percentage of anticipated rental revenues that corresponds to signed leases (also called leasing rate based on revenues).
Return on equity: Net profit for the year according to the income statement excluding non-controlling interests, as a percentage of average shareholders' equity.
Return on capital employed: Profit after financial items including results from participations in associated companies following the reversal of interest expense in relation to average capital employed.
Dividend yield: The dividend as a percentage of the market price at year-end.
Net indebtedness: Interest-bearing liabilities and provisions less financial assets including cash and cash equivalents.
Net sales: The net sales of construction operations are recognized in accordance with the percentage-ofcompletion principle. These revenues are recognized in pace with the gradual completion of construction projects within the company. For NCC Housing, net sales are recognized when the housing unit is transferred to the end customer. Property sales are recognized on the date on which significant risks and benefits are transferred to the buyer, which normally coincides with the transfer of ownership. In the Parent Company, net sales correspond to recognized sales from completed projects.
Orders received: Value of received projects and changes in existing projects during the period concerned. Proprietary projects for sale, if a decision to initiate the assignment has been taken, are also included among assignments received, as are finished properties included in inventory.
Order backlog: Period-end value of the remaining nonworked-up project revenues for projects received, including proprietary projects for sale that have not been completed.
Capital employed: Total assets less interest-free liabilities including deferred tax liabilities. Average capital employed is calculated as the average of the balances per quarter.
Rounding-off differences may arise in all tables.
