NCC's second-quarter earnings approximately matched those of the year-earlier period and profit after financial items totaled SEK 457 M (451). Orders received were at an excellent level during the quarter and the order backlog increased SEK 5 billion to SEK 52 billion by the end of the quarter. Our development business experienced a favorable quarter with healthy housing sales, numerous housing starts and strong earnings with a high leasing rate for commercial property development. However, I am less than satisfied with the performance of our construction operations in Norway, which were again charged with impairment losses for projects in this quarter.
Construction operations in Sweden, Denmark and Finland showed improved earnings and profitability in the second quarter, while earnings from operations in Norway declined due to impairment losses on projects. We have taken actions in our Norwegian operations. A fresh review of projects in the Oslo area resulted in a need to impair a number of projects in the other buildings segment.
Sales and earnings for our industrial operations, NCC Roads, in the second quarter of 2012 were lower than the year-earlier period because the season started later than usual due to the long winter. However, the operating margin was in line with the year-earlier period. Work on key strategic issues, such as the pricing of aggregates, is starting to deliver results.
We were highly successful with our housing sales during the second quarter. In total, we sold 1,248 (856) housing units, of which 319 (141) to investors. Favorable housing sales enabled us to initiate more housing projects. Construction started on a total of 1,780 (876) housing units during the quarter, of which 319 (323) were for investors. Earnings from housing operations were below the yearearlier period, primarily due to restructuring costs in Sweden and losses on sales of land.
Our property development operations reported a favorable second quarter. Earnings and sales were higher than in the year-earlier period and we were highly successful at leasing premises. We also signed a lease with TeliaSonera for a new head office on Kungsholmen in Stockholm. The lease is conditional upon that detailed development plan and regulatory approval is obtained in 2013.
At the end of the second quarter, we noted increased demand in the Nordic construction market and we expect construction investments for the full-year to track 2012 or be slightly higher. The seasonal pattern for NCC with a weak start and a stronger finish has become increasingly clear in recent years. Again this year, conditions for a healthy second half of the year are in place.
Peter Wågström, President and CEO Solna, August 16, 2013
Orders received were favorable at SEK 17,798 M (15,453). The year-on-year increase was attributable to a rise in the number of starts for housing and commercial property projects. NCC Construction Sweden secured an order for a new subway depot valued at slightly more than SEK 1 billion and, in Finland, an order worth SEK 1 billion was received for a shopping center in Espoo. Changes in exchange rates reduced orders received by SEK 396 M compared with the year-earlier period. The Group's order backlog rose SEK 5,162 M compared with the preceding quarter to SEK 52,079 M. Changes in exchange rates increased the order backlog by SEK 867 M during the quarter.
Net sales were in line with the year-earlier period at SEK 13,535 M (13,733). Lower sales in NCC Construction Sweden and reduced volumes in NCC Roads were offset by increased sales in NCC Property Development and NCC Construction Norway. Changes in exchange rates reduced sales by SEK 265 M compared with the yearearlier period.
NCC's operating profit was higher than in the year-earlier period at SEK 526 M (512). Earnings increased for the construction units in Sweden, Denmark and Finland because of higher project margins. An impairment loss of SEK 150 M on a number of projects in Norway resulted in a loss in the construction unit in Norway. NCC Property Development increased its earnings year-on-year, primarily as a result of healthy profitability in the property projects recognized in profit during the quarter. Earnings at NCC Housing were lower year-on-year due to losses from land sales of SEK 30 M and restructuring costs in Sweden of SEK 20 M.
Cash flow from operating activities improved year-on-year to negative SEK 1,191 M (neg: 1,928). The improvement was attributable to an increase in interest-free funding. Capital tied up in housing and property projects increased at the same rate as in the year-earlier period. Adjustments for non-cash items essentially match exchange-rate differences.
GROUP PERFORMANCE
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.
ORDER BACKLOG
Net indebtedness (interest-bearing liabilities less cash and cash equivalents less interest-bearing receivables) at June 30 amounted to SEK 9,722 M (8,979) (refer also to Note 5, Specification of net indebtedness). At March 31, 2013, net indebtedness was SEK 7,250 M. The average maturity period for interest-bearing liabilities, excluding loans in Finnish housing companies and Swedish tenant-owner associations, as well as pension commitments according to IAS 19, was 32 (36) months at the end of the quarter. NCC's unutilized committed lines of credit at the end of the quarter amounted to SEK 3.8 billion (3.9), with an average remaining maturity of 39 (49) months.
Orders received totaled SEK 29,474 M (27,176). The yearon-year increase was attributable mainly to a higher number of starts of housing and commercial property projects. Changes in exchange rates reduced orders received by SEK 663 M compared with the year-earlier period. The order backlog rose and was SEK 52,079 M at the end of the period. Changes in exchange rates reduced the order backlog by SEK 111 M.
Net sales totaled SEK 23,620 M (24,392). The change was primarily due to lower sales in NCC Construction Sweden. Changes in exchange rates reduced sales by SEK 436 M year-on-year.
NCC's operating profit amounted to SEK 309 M (373). The
NET INDEBTEDNESS
change was primarily due to lower earnings in NCC Construction Norway, NCC Roads and NCC Housing. As a result of higher margins in projects recognized in profit, NCC Property Development's earnings improved. Net financial items declined to an expense of SEK 128 M (expense: 95) due to higher average net indebtedness.
During the first half of the year, cash flow from operating activities improved year-on-year due to an increase in interest-free funding. Capital tied up in housing and property projects increased at the same rate as in the yearearlier period.
Net indebtedness (interest-bearing liabilities less cash and cash equivalents less interest-bearing receivables) at June 30 amounted to SEK 9,722 M (8,979) (refer also to Note 5, Specification of net indebtedness). The increase in investments in property and housing projects was mainly funded by long-term loans.

Demand in the Nordic construction market declined in the first six months of the year, but an improvement was noted at the end of the second quarter. NCC expects a more favorable market trend in the second half of the year and that construction investments for the full-year will be in line with 2012 or slightly higher. The strongest performance is expected to be in the Norwegian market while demand in NCC's other markets will be weaker, particularly in Finland where there are concerns about the GDP trend.
Orders received by all construction units totaled SEK 12,482 M (10,820). Construction units in Sweden, Denmark and Finland reported an increase in orders received for housing projects while these figures were lower in Norway. NCC Construction Sweden's orders received were higher in the civil engineering segment, where an order for a new subway depot valued at slightly more than SEK 1 billion was secured. Orders received for NCC Construction Norway were lower, due to fewer civilengineering projects compared with the year-earlier period. In Finland, a SEK 1 billion order was received for a shopping center in Espoo. The total order backlog increased SEK 3,045 M during the quarter to SEK 35,652 M.
Net sales increased for Construction units in Finland and Norway, while they were somewhat lower in Sweden and Denmark. In total, sales for NCC's Construction units declined to SEK 9,930 M (10,279).
Increased margins for the construction units in Sweden, Denmark and Finland had a positive effect on earnings. Earnings were charged with SEK 150 M for impairment losses on a number of other building projects in NCC Construction Norway. The single largest impairment loss pertained to a project that was included in the acquisition of the company OKK. This project was impaired in the first quarter and completed in the second quarter but the bankruptcy of a supplier and additional work resulted in further impairment losses. In total, operating profit for the construction units was SEK 102 M (210).
ORDERS RECEIVED AND ORDER BACKLOG Orders received for the construction units increased yearon-year and totaled SEK 20,993 M (19,793). Orders received by NCC Construction Denmark and NCC Construction Finland were higher due to two major projects.
Sales in NCC's construction units totaled SEK 18,476 M (19,174). The change was primarily due to lower sales in NCC Construction Sweden, while sales in NCC Construction Norway were higher because of larger operations than in the year-earlier period.
In total, operating profit amounted to SEK 231 M (336). The decline in profit was attributable to lower earnings in NCC Construction Norway where an SEK 199 M impairment loss on a project negatively impacted earnings, while changed pension regulations had a positive impact of SEK 65 M.

NCC CONSTRUCTION FINLAND
An exceptionally long winter resulted in lower volume demand year-on-year for asphalt and aggregates. Towards the end of the quarter, demand increased in all of NCC's markets. Despite a weaker start than usual, NCC expects demand for asphalt for full-year 2013 to be in line with 2012. Demand for aggregates for full-year 2013 is expected to be lower than in 2012.
Sales fell due to lower volumes and amounted to SEK 3,185 M (3,510). The volumes of aggregates and asphalt sold declined slightly year-on-year due to a late start to the season. Sales of road services declined marginally.
Earnings for the quarter declined compared with the yearearlier period to SEK 230 M (249). The change was primarily due to lower volumes for asphalt and aggregates. Work on the pricing strategy for aggregates is starting to deliver results and, in the second quarter, the decline in volume was almost fully offset by higher prices.
Due to higher activity in the quarter, capital employed increased and amounted to SEK 3.8 billion.
Sales declined due to lower volumes and amounted to SEK 4,341 M (4,802). The long and cold winter resulted in lower volumes of aggregates and asphalt. Sales for road services were in line with the year-earlier period.
Earnings in the period declined slightly year-on-year, primarily due to the weak trend in the first quarter. Earnings for aggregates and asphalt declined, primarily due to lower volumes. The operating result was a loss of SEK 238 M (loss: 145).
Capital employed rose by SEK 0.7 billion compared with year-end to SEK 3.8 billion.

The strongest demand and most favorable price trend were noted in Norway and St. Petersburg although the price increase in Norway has leveled off. The market in Germany continued its positive trend and a slow recovery is under way in Denmark and the Baltic countries. The market in Sweden and Finland was characterized by some caution and purchasing decisions are not being made until construction is close to completion. NCC expects stable demand in 2013 with price levels remaining essentially unchanged.
HOUSING SALES AND CONSTRUCTION STARTS A total of 929 (715) housing units were sold to private customers and 319 (141) to the investor market. Housing sales to private customers increased, primarily in Germany, Sweden and Denmark. During the quarter, construction started on a total of 1,461 (553) housing units for private customers and 319 (323) housing units for the investor market. One project in St. Petersburg comprising 545 apartments accounted for a major portion of the increase in housing starts for private customers, but a general increase applied to all markets with the exception of Norway. Due to healthy demand, a significant increase in starts for private customers and investors was noted in Germany.
Net sales were lower than in the year-earlier period mainly because fewer housing units were handed over to private customers and recognized in profit. A total of 544 (579) housing units for private customers and 243 (141) housing units for the investor market were recognized in profit. The average price per housing unit was lower than in the year-earlier period.
Operating profit was SEK 45 M (104).Earnings at NCC Housing were lower year-on-year mainly due to losses of SEK 30 M on the sale of land in non-priority areas and restructuring costs of SEK 20 M in Sweden. Sales volumes and margins to private customers and investors remained at a healthy level.
Capital employed rose SEK 0.4 billion, primarily due to more housing units in production, and totaled SEK 10.6 billion.
A total of 1,692 (1,311) housing units were sold to private customers and 399 (284) to the investor market. Housing sales to private customers increased in all markets except Norway. During the first half of the year, construction started on a total of 1,936 (1,227) housing units for private customers and 399 (442) housing units for the investor market. St. Petersburg and Germany accounted for a major portion of the increase in housing starts for private customers. Increased demand in the markets in Denmark and the Baltic countries provided the opportunity for increased starts. In step with completion and handover, new projects can be started depending on the sales situation in the portfolio and the local market.
Net sales were higher year-on-year, due mainly to increased revenues from housing sales to investors and sales of land. During the period, a total of 987 (936) housing units for private customers and 392 (260) housing units for the investor market were recognized in profit.
Profit totaled SEK 107 M (185). The decline was due to losses on sales of land, restructuring costs in Sweden and increased administrative costs due to the rise in project volumes and the implementation of the enterprise and customer support system.
Capital employed totaled SEK 10.6 billion, up SEK 0.6 billion, compared with year-end, primarily due to more housing units in production.

1) Of the total number of housing units under construction to the investor market, 1,436 (1,065), 739 (489) has already been profit-recognized and 697 (576) remains to be profit-recognized.
The diagram shows the scheduled date of completion and the proportion of sold housing units under construction for private customers (both sold housing units and those that are for sale). Profit for sold housing projects to private customers is recognized on the date they are handed over.
The trend in 2013 indicates continued stability or a modest upswing in the economic trend for the Nordic countries with the exception of Finland, where concerns exist regarding the GDP trend. Concern about the European debt crisis entailed a continued cautious approach in the investor market, resulting in longer decision-making processes. Demand for modern properties with a distinct environmental profile is favorable. In the leasing markets, demand remained favorable during the quarter, with stable rents and vacancies.
One project sale was recognized in profit during the quarter: the Ullevi Park II office project in Sweden. Three new projects were started during the quarter: the Lysaker Polaris 1 office project in Norway, the Ullevi Park 4 office project in Sweden and the office/retail project in Mattby in Finland.
At the end of the quarter, 24 (26) projects were either ongoing or completed but yet to be recognized in profit. The costs incurred in all projects totaled SEK 4.1 billion (2.7), corresponding to a completion rate of 57 (46) percent. During the quarter, the leasing rate was robust and amounted to 46,900 (18,700) square meters. The leasing rate was 72 (57) percent.
Net sales were higher year-on-year and the projects that were recognized in profit accounted for the largest portion of sales. In the year-earlier period, one project was recognized in profit.
Operating profit rose during the year-earlier period to SEK 152 M (loss: 4). One project sale (one) was recognized in profit during the quarter. Earnings from previous sales also contributed to the results.
During the quarter, capital employed increased SEK 0.5 billion to SEK 5.6 billion, mainly due to increased production in ongoing projects.
A total of three project sales (three) were recognized in
profit: one in Finland, one in Denmark and one in Sweden. Construction of four projects was started, of which two in Finland, one in Norway and one in Sweden. Leases were signed for 68,300 square meters (31,200) during the quarter.
Net sales declined year-on-year and totaled SEK 1,264 M (1,435). Most of the company's net sales in the period derived from projects recognized in profit during the second quarter.
Operating profit was higher than in the year-earlier period and amounted to SEK 230 M (107). Three projects were recognized in profit during the first six months of the year. Sales of land and earnings from earlier sales also contributed to earnings.
Capital employed rose SEK 0.6 billion to SEK 5.6 billion. The increase was mainly due to investments in ongoing property development projects.

This interim report has been compiled pursuant to IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The interim report has been prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and the interpretations of prevailing accounting standards issued by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC), as approved by the EU. Changes have occurred in the reporting of employee benefits, for which the revised IAS 19 has been applied since January 1, 2013. Comparative figures for 2012 have been recalculated. In brief, the amendment of IAS 19 entailed that the opportunity to utilize the corridor method has been discontinued, whereby the actuarial gains and losses arising must be recognized directly against Other
comprehensive income in the period they arise. Furthermore, the return on plan assets must be calculated using the same rate as the discount rate for the pension commitment. The interest-rate component in the pension commitment and the anticipated return on plan assets are now recognized in net financial items. For the effects of the new accounting policies, refer to the pro forma report on NCC's website. Certain changes also occurred in the presentation of Other comprehensive income.
In other respects, the interim report has been prepared pursuant to the same accounting policies and methods of calculation as the 2012 Annual Report (Note 1, pages 60- 67).

1) The figures for the year includes among others NCC`s head office, results from small subsidiaries and associated companies and remaining parts of NCC International Projects, totalling an expense of SEK 47M (expense: 46).
Eliminations of internal profits amount to an expense of SEK 2 M (expense: 20) and other Group adjustments, mainly consisting of differences of accounting policy between the segments and the group (including pensions) amount to an income of SEK 25 M (expense: 45).
2) The quarter includes among others NCC's head office, result from small subsidiaries and associated companies and remaining parts of NCC International Projects, totalling an expense of SEK 14 M (expense: 26). Furthermore elimination of internal profits are included, an expense of SEK 7 M (expense: 47) and other Group adjustments, mainly consisting of differences of accounting policy between the segments and the Group (including pensions), an income of SEK 16 M (income: 29).
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 complies with prices quoted on an active market for the same instruments. Derivatives in
level 2 comprise currency-forward contracts, crosscurrency swaps and interest-rate swaps for both trading and hedging purposes. Fair-value measurement for currency-forward 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 based on observable yield curves. The discount has no significant impact on the measurement of derivatives in level 2. NCC has no financial instruments in level 3.

NCC's vision is to be the leading company in the development of future environments for working, living and communication.
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 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.
