Following one of the best quarters in NCC's history came a long, cold winter. Our earnings for the first quarter, which are always seasonally weak, declined compared with the year-earlier period. However, it was not only the winter that had a negative impact on earnings. Lower sales, higher expenditure and higher financial expenses also impacted earnings. We reported a loss of SEK 276 M (loss: 173) after financial items. I am naturally not satisfied with our start, but the seasonal pattern for NCC with a weak start and a stronger finish of the year has become more distinct in recent years.
Overall, sales were slightly lower in construction operations. In Sweden, a lower order backlog at the beginning of the quarter and lower orders received resulted in a significant decline in sales. However, sales rose in other markets, particularly in Norway. In total, earnings for the construction operations were on a par with the year-earlier period, but earnings in Sweden were lower due to low sales and increased expenditure for such activities as tendering and selling.
Seasonally, the operations in the industrial business are limited during the first quarter. Naturally, we do not start asphalt operations in Norway, Finland and northern Sweden during the quarter, only in Denmark and southern Sweden. This year, the long winter with frozen ground in Denmark and southern Sweden prevented us from starting our asphalt operation at all, at the same time as demand for aggregates was lower. Consequently, earnings for NCC Roads were lower than the year-earlier period.
We sold more housing units to private customers than in the year-earlier period and we have a high sales rate in the projects that will be completed in the coming quarters. During the first quarter, we were cautious in starting new housing projects due to the cold winter and an assessment of the market in Sweden and Finland. Delayed municipal planning processes and the re-organizing of our Swedish Housing operations postponed a number of project starts.
Similar to my earlier assessment, I expect somewhat weaker demand in Nordic construction markets during the beginning of 2013, but that construction investments for the full-year will track 2012 or be slightly higher.
We experienced weaker demand during the first quarter, but we continue to believe in better market conditions in the second half of the year. However, the economic trend in our business environment remains troublesome and we are carefully monitoring the impact this will have on the anticipated improvement in the construction market.
Peter Wågström, President and CEO Solna, May 3, 2013
Orders received amounted to SEK 11,675 M (11,723). NCC Construction Denmark had higher orders received thanks to one major project. Construction units in Sweden, Finland and Norway reported lower orders received than in 2012. Fewer housing starts in Sweden and Finland resulted in lower orders received in NCC Housing. Changes in exchange rates reduced orders received by SEK 268 M compared with the year-earlier period. The Group's order backlog rose SEK 1,084 M to SEK 46,917 M, compared with the preceding quarter. Changes in exchange rates reduced the order backlog by SEK 978 M during the quarter.
Net sales totaled SEK 10,084 M (10,659). The decline was primarily due to lower production and sales in NCC Construction Sweden and to NCC Property Development recognizing lower profits for projects compared with the year-earlier period. Sales for NCC Housing increased due to more housing units being recognized in profit. Sales were higher for the Construction units in Denmark, Finland and Norway, while they declined in NCC Roads. Changes in exchange rates reduced sales by SEK 170 M compared with the year-earlier period.
NCC's operating result was lower than in the year-earlier period, amounting to a loss of SEK 217 M (loss: 139). NCC Construction Sweden reported lower production due to a lower order backlog compared with the year-earlier period. NCC Construction Finland improved its earnings thanks to higher production at better margins. In NCC Construction Norway, an impairment loss on a project that was included in a company acquired in 2012 had a negative impact of SEK 49 M on earnings, while changed pension regulations had a positive impact of SEK 65 M. The long and cold winter was the reason for the low earnings in NCC Roads.
Cash flow from operating activities was higher year-onyear, due to a strong Swedish krona, which resulted in a positive change in exchange rates. In addition, the estimated changes in the warranty provisions had a positive impact on cash flow. Fewer starts in Sweden and Finland reduced investments in housing projects 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.
ORDER BACKLOG
Net indebtedness (interest-bearing liabilities less cash and cash equivalents less interest-bearing receivables) at March 31 amounted to SEK 7,250 M (5,493) (refer also to Note 5, Specification of net indebtedness). At December 31, 2012, net indebtedness was SEK 6,467 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 40 (35) months at the end of the quarter. NCC's unutilized committed lines of credit at the end of the quarter amounted to SEK 3.7 billion (3.9), with an average remaining maturity of 40 (50) months.

Demand in the Nordic construction market weakened during the first quarter, but NCC expects that construction investments for the full-year will be in line with 2012 or be slightly higher. The strongest performance is expected in the Norwegian market while the demand in NCC's other markets will be weaker.
Combined orders received for Construction units totaled SEK 8,511 M (8,973). Orders received for housing and civil engineering projects declined, year-on-year, while orders received for other buildings increased. Orders received for NCC Construction Sweden were lower due to fewer new orders in primarily housing. Orders received for NCC Construction Denmark were high thanks to one major project, Carlsberg Byen, totaling SEK 1.5 billion. Orders received in NCC Construction Finland were lower as a result of a decline in orders received in other buildings. The orders received for NCC Construction Norway was lower due to fewer civil-engineering projects. The total order backlog declined SEK 627 M during the quarter to SEK 32,607 M.
Net sales rose for the Construction units in Denmark, Finland and Norway, while they were lower in Sweden. In total, sales for NCC's Construction units declined to SEK 8,544 M (8,895).
NCC Construction Finland improved its earnings thanks to higher production and improved margins. In Norway, an impairment loss had a negative impact of SEK 49 M on earnings while changed pension regulations had a positive impact of SEK 65 M. Lower earnings for NCC Construction Sweden were due to lower production resulting from a lower order backlog and higher overheads for costing tenders. Earnings for NCC Construction Denmark were at the same high level as the year-earlier period. In total, operating profit amounted to SEK 128 M (128).

Demand for aggregates in the first quarter fell in all NCC markets due to the long and cold winter. During the first quarter, the asphalt operation, which is normally limited for seasonal reasons, is conducted primarily in Denmark and southern Sweden. This year, the long winter also had an impact on demand for asphalt in these areas. Despite a weaker start than usual, NCC expects that demand for asphalt for full-year 2013 will be in line with 2012. Demand for aggregates is expected to decline.
Sales fell due to lower volumes and amounted to SEK 1,156 M (1,292). All operations within NCC Roads were impacted by the long and cold winter. The volumes of aggregates sold fell 22 percent, year-on-year. The seasonally low asphalt sales also declined compared with the year-earlier period. However, sales of road services slightly exceeded the year-earlier period.
Earnings for the quarter, which are seasonally weak, were lower than in the year-earlier period. The company reported an operating loss of SEK 468 M (loss: 394). The decline in earnings was due to the lower sales with a higher proportion of road services and a lower proportion of aggregates and asphalt.
Due to fewer activities in the first quarter, capital employed decreased and amounted to SEK 2.8 billion.

Market conditions did not change significantly during the period. The strongest demand and most favorable price trend were noted in Norway and St. Petersburg. The market in Germany continued its positive trend and a slow recovery is under way in central locations in Denmark and the Baltic countries. The market in Sweden and Finland was characterized by some caution and purchasing decisions are made when construction is close to completion. NCC expects stable demand in 2013 with price levels remaining essentially unchanged.
A total of 763 (596) housing units were sold to private customers and 80 (143) to the investor market. Housing sales to private customers increased in all submarkets except Norway, which has few units for sale. During the quarter, construction started on a total of 475 (674) housing units for private customers and 80 (119) housing units for the investor market. In step with completion and handover, new projects can be started depending on the selling situation in the portfolio and the local market. Starts were primarily implemented in Germany due to high demand, while the start-up of housing units in Sweden and Finland was subject to caution.
Net sales were higher than in the year-earlier period mainly due to an increase in housing units being handed over and recognized in profit. A total of 443 (357) housing units for private customers and 149 (119) housing units for the investor market were recognized in profit.
Operating profit amounted to SEK 61 M (81). The lower profit was primarily due to fewer high-margin projects being recognized in profit this year compared with the year-earlier period and to slightly higher overheads. In the first quarter of 2012, the operation in Sweden had a major positive impact on the operating margin.
Capital employed totaled SEK 10.2 billion, up SEK 0.2 billion, compared with year-end, primarily due to a higher worked-up rate in ongoing projects.

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.
Concern about the European debt crisis entailed a continued cautious approach in the investor market, resulting in longer decision-making processes. There is favorable demand for modern properties with a distinct environmental profile. In the leasing markets, demand remained favorable during the quarter, with stable rents and vacancies.
A new project was started during the quarter: the Vallila office project in Finland. The Plaza Loiste office project in Finland was sold to investors. At the end of the quarter, 22 (25) projects were either ongoing or completed but yet to be recognized in profit. The costs incurred in all projects amounted to SEK 3.5 billion (2.2), corresponding to a completion rate of 60 (38) percent. The leasing rate was 72 (53) percent. Leases for 21,400 (12,500) square meters of floor space were signed during the quarter.
Two project sales were recognized in profit during the quarter: the CH Tangen office project in Denmark and the Plaza Loiste office project in Finland. Net sales declined compared with the year-earlier period. For information on future profit recognition of projects, refer to the table on the following page.
Earnings for the quarter were lower than in the yearearlier period and amounted to SEK 78 M (112). A total of 2 (2) project sales were recognized in profit during the quarter. Sales of land and earnings from earlier sales also contributed to the result.
Capital employed increased SEK 0.1 billion during the quarter to SEK 5.1 billion.

Comparative figures have been recalculated to comply with a new accounting policy according to IAS 19, refer to page 15.
1) In the third quarter 2011 adjustments were made of prior periods cash flow.
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 meant that the opportunity to utilize the corridor method has been discontinued, entailing that 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 interestrate component in the pension commitment and the anticipated return on plan assets is 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 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 24 M (expense: 20). Furthermore elimination of internal profits are included, an income of SEK 9 M (income: 27) and other Group adjustments, mainly consisting of differences of accounting policy between the segments and the Group (pensions), an income of SEK 0 M (expense: 73).
In the tables below, disclosures are made concerning how fair value was determined for the financial instruments that are continuously measured at fair value in NCC's balance sheet. When determining fair value, assets were divided into the following three levels. No transfers were 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 and interest-rate swaps for both retail and hedging purposes. The measurement to fair value for currencyforward 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. 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 shareholders' 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 into 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.
