I am extremely satisfied that our fourth-quarter earnings surpassed the earnings of the year-earlier period. The fourth quarter of 2011 was one of the best quarters ever for NCC. All our business areas delivered earnings that matched or exceeded the year-earlier period. Profit after financial items was SEK 1,252 M (1,080).
Profit after tax for the year amounted to SEK 1,899 M (1,312). The return on equity for 2012 was 23 (17) percent, which exceeded our financial targets of 20 percent.
My opinion of the markets remained unchanged during the fourth quarter and I believe that the Nordic construction market will start weakly in 2013, but that construction investments for the entire year will be in line with 2012 or somewhat higher. The Norwegian construction market is expected to show the strongest growth, while the growth will probably be weaker in other markets.
We have increased our earnings from the development business – for both housing units and commercial properties. These activities accounted for 45 (31) percent of NCC's operating profit for 2012.
The objective of our strategy up to 2015 is to increase the number of housing units under construction to at least 7,000. The market conditions in 2012 did not allow for an increase in the number of housing starts for private customers, but were successful in starting up housing units for investors. As a whole, the number of housing units under construction increased by slightly more than 400 and amounted to approximately 5,800 at year-end.
For our commercial property-development operations, we have a balanced project portfolio with a high leasing rate. Our property divestments have been successful and we have been launching projects in pace with the ones we sell.
Our construction operations had a healthy order backlog at the start of 2012 and the level of orders received has also been favorable, primarily during the latter six months of the year, which generated an 8-percent increase in sales. The order backlog for construction operations at year-end was somewhat lower year-on-year, which, together with the market prospects, will limit growth opportunities in 2013.
For Construction operations, operating profit and operating margin improved in 2012, but more remains to be done to raise profitability. We are on the right track in Norway and Finland, and we implemented a number of measures in Sweden during the latter half of 2012.
A REASONABLE YEAR FOR INDUSTRIAL OPERATIONS The performance of NCC Roads matched the preceding year, for both the quarter and the full-year. In 2013, demand for asphalt is expected to be in line with 2012 levels, while demand for aggregates is expected to decline slightly. In 2012, we worked on a number of strategic investments to enhance efficiency and raise the level of profitability in our business.
In 2012, we took several steps toward strengthening the strategy for achieving profitable growth. I am confident about 2013, despite the general market outlook not being the best. We have a strong market position, a well-filled order book and a healthy balance in the operations. I am convinced that in 2013 we will be able to take another step towards achieving our strategy.
Peter Wågström, President and CEO
Solna, January 30, 2013
Orders received totaled SEK 15,423 M (14,932). NCC Construction Sweden had a high level of orders received with several major projects. Orders received were favorable for NCC Construction Denmark thanks to an increase in housing projects. Orders received for NCC Construction Finland were somewhat higher due to additional residential and civil engineering projects. Production starts of several housing units enabled an increase in orders received for NCC Housing. Changes in exchange rates reduced the value of orders received by SEK 260 M year-on-year. The Group's order backlog declined SEK 2,715 M to SEK 45,833 M, compared with the third quarter. Exchange-rate effects increased the order backlog by SEK 518 M during the fourth quarter.
Net sales totaled SEK 19,069 M (18,119). The increase was primarily attributable to higher sales in NCC Housing and NCC Property Development, for which additional housing units and commercial properties were recognized in profit during the quarter. Sales in NCC Construction Norway and Finland increased somewhat while sales in NCC Construction Sweden, Denmark and in NCC Roads declined. Changes in exchange rates reduced sales by SEK 288 M compared with the year-earlier period.
NCC's operating profit amounted to SEK 1,334 M (1,140). The earnings improvement resulted primarily from NCC Property Development profit-recognizing additional project sales. Earnings were higher for the Construction units in Finland and Norway as a result of higher sales with improved margins, while the earnings in Sweden and Denmark were nearly in line with the year-earlier period. Earnings in NCC Roads were higher, despite lower volumes. In the year-earlier period, NCC Roads' earnings were charged with an impairment loss of SEK 32 M on goodwill in the Finnish operations. The handover of more housing units that were recognized in profit resulted in higher earnings for NCC Housing. Net financial items declined to an expense of SEK 82 M (expense: 61) due to higher net indebtedness.
Profit after tax for the year amounted to SEK 1,126 M (769). Swedish corporate tax rates were reduced from 26.3 percent to 22 percent as of January 1, 2013. This resulted in a reduction in deferred tax libilities, leading to a positive taxation effect of SEK 120 M.
Cash flow from operating activities was higher year-onyear, primarily as a result of more property development projects and housing units being recognized in profit, as
well as a reduction in tied-up capital. Cash flow improved, mainly due to a reduction in accounts receivable and an increase in interest-free financing.
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.
Net indebtedness (interest-bearing liabilities less cash and cash equivalents less interest-bearing receivables) at December 31 amounted to SEK 6,061 M (3,960) (refer also to Note 5, Specification of net indebtedness). At September 30, 2012, net indebtedness was SEK 9,024 M. Payments for housing units and properties sold reduced net indebtedness in the fourth quarter. The capital maturity period for interest-bearing liabilities, excluding loans in Finnish housing companies and Swedish tenant-owner associations, was 40 (47) months at the end of the quarter. NCC's unutilized committed lines of credit on December 31 totaled SEK 3.8 billion (3.5) with an average remaining maturity period of 43 (17) months.
Orders received amounted to SEK 55,759 M (57,867). The change was mainly due to a decline in orders received for Construction units in Sweden, Denmark and Finland. Changes in exchange rates reduced orders received by SEK 543 M compared with the year-earlier period. The order backlog declined SEK 481 M year-on-year to SEK 45,833 M. Changes in exchange rates reduced the order backlog by SEK 443 M, compared with the year-earlier period.
All business areas reported increased sales and consolidated sales totaled SEK 57,227 M (52,535). Changes in exchange rates reduced sales by SEK 585 M compared with the year-earlier period.
NCC's operating profit amounted to SEK 2,537 M (2,017). The increase in profit was mainly attributable to higher earnings for all business areas, except NCC Roads, for which earnings were on par with the year-earlier period. NCC Property Development posted the greatest increase in profit, but NCC Housing also noted a significant
CASH FLOW Cash flow from operating activities was higher than in the year-earlier period, mainly due to improved earnings and a
reduction in other tied-up capital. Capital tied up in housing and property projects increased during the year. Other factors underlying the improvement in cash flow were mainly a reduction in accounts receivable and an increase in interest-free financing. In the year-earlier period, a substantial supplementary tax payment was made by the Parent Company.
improvement in earnings. Earnings in the year-earlier period were adversely impacted by a number of
impairment losses on projects in Finland and Norway. Net financial items degraded to an expense of SEK 274 M (expense: 208) due to higher average net indebtedness.
Net indebtedness (interest-bearing liabilities less cash and cash equivalents less interest-bearing receivables) at December 31 amounted to SEK 6,061 M (3,960) (refer also to Note 5, Specification of net indebtedness). The increase in investments in property and housing projects was mainly financed by long-term loans.

Demand for housing and other construction contracts recovered somewhat during the fourth quarter. NCC expects that 2013 will start weakly and that construction investments for the full-year will be in line with 2012 or be slightly higher. The strongest performance is expected to be in the Norwegian market, while the demand in NCC's other markets will be weaker, particularly in Finland.
Combined orders received for Construction units totaled SEK 11,197 M (10,179). Orders received by NCC Construction Sweden were high, due to an increase in housing projects and the booking of an office project in Stockholm with an order value of approximately SEK 1 billion. NCC Construction Denmark secured additional housing projects, which resulted in a higher level of orders received. A somewhat higher number of orders were received for NCC Construction Finland thanks to additional residential and civil engineering projects. The combined order backlog was SEK 33,234 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 amounted to SEK 12,511 M (12,423).
The Construction units in Finland and Norway reported improved earnings, as a result of higher volumes and
stronger margins. Earnings for the Construction units in Sweden and Denmark matched the year-earlier level. Overall operating profit amounted to SEK 469 M (440).
ORDERS RECEIVED AND ORDER BACKLOG The combined orders received for NCC's Construction units totaled SEK 39,433 M (41,731) – a decline in comparison with NCC's historically high level of orders received in 2011. Orders received declined in Sweden, Denmark and Finland. This was partly offset by strong orders in Norway. The order backlog for NCC's Construction units declined by SEK 709 M during the period to SEK 33,234 M. Changes in exchange rates reduced the order backlog by SEK 233 M. The order backlog in Norway increased by SEK 1.2 billion through the acquisition of OKK Entreprenør AS.
A year-on-year increase in net sales was reported in all units due to the high production resulting from the high opening order backlog, and the healthy level of orders received during the year. The combined sales of NCC's Construction units totaled SEK 41,218 M (38,150).
Net sales rose in all Construction units. Overall operating profit amounted to SEK 1,172 M (966). The increase was attributable to higher sales and improved margins in Denmark, Norway and Finland.

Demand for aggregates declined in the fourth quarter, mainly in Sweden and Denmark. The demand for asphalt also declined, primarily due to the early onset of winter. NCC foresees a stable trend in 2013 with demand for asphalt in line with 2012. Demand for aggregates is expected to decline slightly. Road-service operations are relatively insensitive to economic trends and opportunities for growth are relatively favorable since more public contracts have been exposed to competition.
Sales decreased somewhat, due to lower volumes, to SEK 3,354 M (3,549). The sales volume for aggregates was slightly lower year-on-year. The volume for asphalt was lower year-on-year, due to the season ending sooner than in the year-earlier period. The volume of road services was slightly higher than in the year-earlier period.
Operating profit amounted to SEK 119 M (99). This increase was mainly attributable to impairment losses of SEK 32 M from goodwill in the Finnish operations being included in the year-earlier figures. Weaker demand reduced the profit of aggregates operations and profit from asphalt operations was adversely impacted by an early end to the season. The profit for road services was slightly higher than in the year-earlier period.
Capital employed declined SEK 0.5 billion to SEK 3.1 billion in the fourth quarter due to the seasonal decline in activity.
Sales increased to SEK 12,211 M (11,766) due to higher prices for oil-based input materials. The volume of aggregates and asphalt fell slightly in comparison with the year-earlier period. Additional assignments resulted in higher sales for Road services.
Operating profit amounted to SEK 413 M (414). Profit matched the year-earlier level, although the year-earlier period was charged with a goodwill impairment loss of SEK 32 M. Profit was impacted by lower volumes in the aggregates and asphalt operations.
Capital employed fell slightly compared with the yearearlier period to SEK 3.1 billion.

The demand in NCC's markets was unchanged in 2012 in comparison with the preceding year. The strongest demand and most favorable price trends are in Norway and St. Petersburg. In Sweden and Finland, purchasing decisions are made when construction is close to completion. Market conditions are weak in the Baltic countries and Denmark, although stable in Germany. NCC expects stable demand in 2013 with price levels remaining generally unchanged.
A total of 917 (685) housing units were sold to private customers and 651 (392) to the investor market. Housing sales to private customers increased in all submarkets except Germany, where levels remained unchanged. Investor interest in housing units remained strong. During the quarter, construction started on a total of 1,468 (893) housing units for private customers and 536 (437) housing units for the investor market. In pace with completion and handover, new projects can be started, taking into account the sales rate in the portfolio and the local market.
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. During the quarter, 1,387 (1,287) housing units for private customers and 683 (403) housing units for the investor market were recognized in profit. The average price was higher, due to a larger share of housing units being recognized in profit in Norway, as well as higher average prices in Denmark and Sweden.
Operating profit amounted to SEK 573 M (552). The increase was primarily attributable to more housing units being handed over to private customers.
Capital employed totaled SEK 10.0 billion, a decline of SEK 0.4 billion.
Housing sales increased compared with the year-earlier period. A total of 2,937 (2,504) housing units were sold to private customers and 1,395 (724) units to the investor market. During the quarter, construction started on a total of 3,196 (3,564) housing units for private customers and 1,328 (852) housing units for the investor market.
The number of unsold, completed housing units increased during the period by 195 units to 393, including show houses and apartments. A relatively large number of housing units were completed close to the year-end and several remain unsold, primarily in Finland, Sweden and the Baltic countries. At year-end, the number of housing units under construction for private customers totaled 4,391 (4,233). The sales rate was 43 (42) percent and the completion rate was 47 (43) percent. Ever more buyers tend to make purchase decisions closer to their moving-in day.
During the year, 2,845 (2,764) housing units for private customers and 998 (735) housing units for the investor market were recognized in profit. Sales totaled SEK 8,612 M (7,542).
Operating profit amounted to SEK 835 M (606). The increase in profit for the year was primarily attributable to higher profit-recognized income from housing units to private customers. The year-earlier period contained impairment losses for land in Denmark totaling SEK 103 M.
Due to increased investments in housing projects, capital employed rose to SEK 10.0 billion.

1) Of the total number of housing units under construction to the investor market, 1,377 (1,130), 653 (736) has already been profit-recognized and 724 (394) remains to be profit-recognized.
The diagram shows the scheduled date of completion for housing units under construction for private customers (both sold housing units and those that are for sale). Profit for housing projects sold to private customers is recognized on the date they are handed over.
Market turbulence caused by the European debt crisis in 2012 resulted in cautiousness in the market, which led to longer decision-making processes. While investor demand for modern "green" properties with stable tenants in prime locations remained favorable, demand for other properties declined. The rental market was stable in terms of rents and vacancies. The market outlook for 2013 is difficult to predict and much depends on how the economic situation in Europe develops.
During the quarter, five project sales were recognized in profit: in Sweden, the Arendal II logistics project, the Tornby phase 1 retail project and the Koggen 2 office project, and in Finland, the Alberga B office project and the Lohja 4a retail center. In Denmark, a new office project was started: the CH Zenit 4.1.
Four projects were sold during the quarter, which will be recognized in profit at a later date: the CH Tangen office project in Denmark, the Ullevi Park II office project and the Triangeln office project/shopping mall in Sweden, as well as the Lielahti Center retail project in Finland. For information on future profit recognition of projects, refer to the table on the following page.
At the end of the quarter, 23 projects were either ongoing or completed but yet to be recognized in profit. The costs incurred in all projects amounted to SEK 3.3 billion (2.3), corresponding to a completion rate of 55 (41) percent. The leasing rate was 68 (58) percent. Leases for 19,000 square meters of floor space (87,000) were signed during the quarter. Leasing during the fourth quarter of 2011 was at the highest level ever for NCC in an individual quarter.
Net sales were higher year-on-year and the five projects that were recognized in profit accounted for the largest portion of sales. Two projects were recognized in profit in the year-earlier period.
Operating profit was higher than in the year-earlier period and amounted to SEK 214 M (69). A total of five (two) project sales were recognized in profit during the quarter.
Earnings from previous sales and sales of land also contributed to the results.
Capital employed decreased SEK 0.1 billion during the quarter to SEK 5.0 billion.
A total of nine (six) project sales were recognized: four in Sweden, three in Finland and two in Denmark. Construction of nine projects was started, of which five in Finland, two in Norway and two in Denmark. Leases were signed for 76,000 square meters (147,000) during the quarter.
Net sales increased year-on-year to SEK 2,847 M (1,366). The largest portion of sales was from the projects recognized in profit in the first and fourth quarter.
Operating profit was higher than in the year-earlier period and amounted to SEK 295 M (28). Nine projects were recognized in profit during 2012. Earnings from previous sales and sales of land also contributed to the results. During the year, earnings were charged with impairment losses of SEK 41 SEK on projects and land in Denmark. The year-earlier period was charged with the results of impairment losses on land in Latvia amounting to SEK 38 M.
Capital employed rose SEK 1.3 billion to SEK 5.0 billion. The increase was mainly due to investments in ongoing property development projects.

Two companies, OKK Entreprenør A/S and Murerfirma Jan E. Engebretsen A/S, were acquired by NCC Construction Norway in August 2012. The cost was SEK 250 M and the net cash outflow was SEK 62 M. Goodwill amounted to SEK 191 M and was attributable to OKK Entreprenør A/S strengthening NCC's construction operation in the eastern parts of Norway, where it occupies a strong position in Oslo, Asker/Bærum, Buskerud and Vestfold. The acquisition will also supplement NCC's existing expertise in housing production, refurbishment and construction services. Jan E. Engebretsen has high expertise in masonry, plastering and tiling in Fredrikstad and will also contribute to strengthening NCC in Østfold. The total cost and fair values were established temporarily since they were based on preliminary valuations. Accordingly, the acquisition amounts will be adjusted.
Invoicing for the Parent Company amounted to SEK 4,826 M (2,193). The higher final profit recognition of projects and the lower impairment losses on shares in subsidiaries resulted in increased profit compared with the year-earlier period. Profit after financial items was SEK 723 M (loss: 361). In the Parent Company, profit is recognized when projects are subject to final profit recognition.
Invoicing for the Parent Company amounted to SEK 25,763 M (18,870). Increased invoicing in contracting operations, meaning a higher number of projects that are subject to final-profit recognition, as well as lower impairment losses of shares in subsidiaries, had a positive impact on profit for the period. Profit after financial items totaled SEK 1,915 M (579). In the Parent Company, profit is recognized when projects are subject to final profit recognition. The average number of employees was 7,204 (7,213).

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 a purchaser in connection with the sale of property and housing projects. Operating revenues less operating and maintenance expenses (operating net) 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.
