The demand in the Nordic construction market was stable and NCC reported a satisfactory level of orders received in the second quarter. Although the orders received by the company were lower than the strong figure reported in the year-earlier period, it exceeds our net sales causing the order backlog to grow to SEK 49.1 billion at the end of the quarter. Net sales rose 7 percent in the second quarter and operating profit amounted to SEK 517 M (545).
Revenues for the construction operations rose 12 percent in the second quarter and profit increased 8 percent year-on-year. In Sweden the construction operations margin was impacted by impairment losses on projects. Previous measures implemented in Finland and Norway are gradually having an impact on profitability. Our construction operations in Denmark continued to deliver a robust operating margin.
The performance of our industrial business, NCC Roads, matched that for the year-earlier period. Sales increased in the second quarter due to higher prices for oil-based input materials. Taking into consideration the costs for strategic initiatives charged during the quarter, earnings were in line with the year-earlier period.
Housing sales were favorable in the second quarter, particularly in St. Petersburg, while sales in Finland were weaker. A slower sales rate and cautious market caused us to adopt a restrictive approach to project starts for private customers in Sweden and Finland. At the same time, we increased the number of housing starts for investors. Our aim is to continue expanding our housing development business at a rate considered tolerable by the market. Second-quarter earnings for our housing development operations were higher than in the year-earlier period.
Our property development operations, which experienced a weak second quarter due to the low number of projects recognized in profit, performed well during the first half of the year. Profit increased year-on-year. We started six new projects and sold four projects for subsequent profit recognition. Leasing of premises in our properties was strong, thus providing a basis for future sales and earnings.
In August, we completed the acquisition of the Norwegian company OKK Entreprenør AS, with annual sales of approximately SEK 1 billion. The acquisition will improve our expansion opportunities in Oslo and the Drammen area southwest of Oslo.
Overall, the earnings in the second quarter does not meet my expectations, although earnings in the first half of the year were higher than in the year-earlier period. However, we have a strong position in the market, a high order backlog and our operations have achieved a solid balance between our three businesses: construction and civil engineering, industrial and development.
Peter Wågström, President and CEO Solna, August 16, 2012
Orders received amounted to SEK 15,453 M (18,038). The Construction unit in Norway reported a significant increase in orders received, partly due to a major civil engineering project with an order value of SEK 1,2 billion. The other Construction units reported year-on-year declines in orders received and NCC Housing started fewer housing projects. The Group's order backlog increased SEK 1,217 M to SEK 49,116 M. Exchange-rate effects had a positive impact of SEK 54 M on orders received compared with the year-earlier period.
Net sales totaled SEK 13,733 M (12,851). NCC's Construction units had a high order backlog, which contributed to increased production activity and sales. NCC Roads experienced stronger sales due to rising prices for oil-based input materials. Exchange-rate effects had a positive impact of SEK 12 M on sales compared with the year-earlier period.
NCC's operating profit amounted to SEK 517 M (545). Higher volumes and improved margins resulted in a year-on-year increase in profit for the Construction units in Denmark, Finland and Norway. Profit for NCC Construction Sweden was charged with impairment losses on projects. NCC Roads reported lower earnings than in the year-earlier period due to costs incurred for strategic growth initiatives. Sales of land contributed to a year-on-year increase in profit for NCC Housing. NCC Property Development reported weaker earnings due to fewer projects being recognized in profit. Net financial items declined to an expense of SEK 70 M (expense: 44) due to higher net indebtedness.
Cash flow from operating activities decreased year-on-year, due mainly to an increase in capital tied up in housing and property projects. Higher cash flow from housing units recognized in profit were offset by increased capital tied up in housing and property projects. The decline in cash flow from other working capital was attributable partly to a lower level of advances and an increase in receivables for sold and completed housing units.
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. In our development operations, a higher number of housing units and properties are normally completed and transferred in the fourth quarter, which impact sales and earnings. For the rolling 12 month period ending June 30, 2012, net sales amounted to SEK 55,544 M (49,169) and operating profit to SEK 2,140 M (1,962).
Net indebtedness (interest-bearing liabilities less cash and cash equivalents less interest-bearing receivables) at June 30 amounted to SEK 8,519 M (4,302) (refer also to Note 5, Specification of net indebtedness). At March 31, 2012, net indebtedness was SEK 5,201 M. The capital maturity period for interest-bearing liabilities, excluding loans in Finnish housing companies and Swedish tenant owner associations, was 36 (35) months at the end of the quarter. NCC's unutilized committed lines of credit at June 30, 2012 totaled SEK 3.9 billion (3.5), with an average remaining maturity of 49 (23) months.
Orders received amounted to SEK 27,176 M (30,436). Orders received declined in the Construction units in Sweden and Denmark. NCC Housing started fewer housing projects in the first half of the year than in the year-earlier period. Exchangerate effects had a positive impact of SEK 129 M on orders received compared with the year-earlier period. The order backlog increased SEK 2,802 M during the period to SEK 49,116 M.
All business areas reported increased sales and Group sales amounted to SEK 24,392 M (21,383). Exchange-rate effects had a positive impact of SEK 53 M on sales compared with the year-earlier period.
NCC's operating profit amounted to SEK 387 M (265). The increase in profit was mainly attributable to higher earnings for NCC Housing due to improved margins on projects and stronger earnings for NCC Property Development due to higher sales of projects recognized in profit and land sales. Net financial items declined to an expense of SEK 111 M (expense: 89) due to higher net indebtedness.
Cash flow from operating activities was, despite an increased cash flow from profit recognized housing units, lower than the year-earlier period due to increased capital tied up in housing and property projects. Capital tied up in other working capital increased, mainly due to a decrease in current interest-free liabilities. In the corresponding period in 2011, a larger supplementary tax payment was made for the Parent Company.

Demand in the Nordic construction market improved in 2011 and was stable during the first half of 2012. The market is strong in Norway, while demand is somewhat weaker in the company's other markets, primarily in Denmark and Finland. The market trend is difficult to assess and NCC does not expect construction investments to grow significantly in 2012.
Orders received for the Construction units totaled SEK 10,820 M (12,899). Orders received in Sweden declined due to fewer housing project starts and major projects. Orders received for housing projects in Finland also decreased and orders received for minor civil engineering projects in Denmark were lower than in the year-earlier period. Orders received increased in Norway and included a major order pertaining to a rail tunnel southwest of Oslo, with an order value of SEK 1.2 billion. The order backlog increased SEK 418 M during the period and totaled SEK 34,539 M.
Net sales rose in all Construction units. The increase was attributable to NCC's high order backlog, which resulted in increased production. Combined sales for NCC's Construction units totaled SEK 10,279 M (9,176).
The Construction units in Denmark, Finland and Norway reported improved earnings, with higher volumes and stronger margins. At the same time, earnings in Sweden declined due to impairment losses on projects. Overall operating profit amounted to SEK 211 M (195). Earnings in the year-earlier period were impacted by impairment losses on projects in Finland.
Compared with the year-earlier period, orders received declined during the first six months of the year due to a lower level of orders received in Sweden and Denmark. Orders received in Norway doubled compared with the year-earlier period. The order backlog rose SEK 596 M during the period to SEK 34,539 M.
A year-on-year increase in net sales was reported in all units due to a high production. Combined sales in NCC's Construction units during the first half of the year amounted to SEK 19,175 M (16,711).
Operating profit in the first six months of the year was higher than in the year-earlier period due to volume increases and improved profitability. Overall operating profit amounted to SEK 339 M (314).

NCC CONSTRUCTION DENMARK
The trend in the aggregates and asphalt market was stable during the first half of 2012 and NCC expects this stability to continue throughout the year. The road services operations are comparatively insensitive to cyclical fluctuations and the potential for growth is relatively strong since several municipal contracts are being opened up to competition.
Sales increased due to higher prices for oil-based input materials and amounted to SEK 3,510 M (3,204). The volume of aggregates and asphalt sold declined slightly year-on-year.
Operating profit amounted to SEK 248 M (271). The decline compared with the year-earlier period was mainly due to costs incurred for strategic growth initiatives.
Due to increased activity in the second quarter, capital employed rose SEK 0.7 billion to SEK 3.6 billion.
Sales increased to SEK 4,802 M (4,365) due to higher prices for oil-based input materials. The volume of aggregates and asphalt sold was in line with the year-earlier period. Road services reported a higher volume than in the year-earlier period due to an increase in the number of contracts.
Earnings in the period declined slightly year-on-year. The company reported an operating loss of SEK 147 M (loss: 117). Earnings were weaker than in the year-earlier period due to costs incurred for strategic growth initiatives.
Due to increased activity in the second quarter, capital employed increased slightly since year-end and amounted to SEK 3.6 billion.

While demand and prices in the housing markets in Sweden and Finland were stable, home buyers have adopted a cautious approach and purchasing decisions are being made closer to completion. In Norway, Germany and St. Petersburg, demand was favorable and housing prices increased. There is an underlying need for housing in all of NCC's principal markets with the exception of Denmark and NCC's assessment is that prices for newly produced housing units will be stable in 2012.
A total of 715 (629) housing units were sold to private customers and 141 (200) to the investor market. The increase in housing sales to private customers pertained mainly to St. Petersburg, while sales declined in Finland and Germany. During the quarter, construction started on a total of 553 (1,175) housing units for private customers and 323 (200) housing units for the investor market. The decline in the number of housing starts, particularly in Sweden and Finland, was due to the wait-and-see approach adopted by the market.
Net sales were in line with the year-earlier period due to a slight increase in the average price for housing units. A total of 579 (607) housing units for private customers and 141 (200) housing units for the investor market were recognized in profit. The decline in sales to the investor market was offset by sales of land.
Profit amounted to SEK 104 M (84). The increase was attributable to earnings from sales of land.
Capital employed increased SEK 1.0 billion to SEK 10.0 billion due to a high level of activity in ongoing projects.
Housing sales increased compared with the year-earlier period. A total of 1,311 (1,238) housing units were sold to private customers and 284 (332) to the investor market. An increase in activity in the housing operations resulted in a higher number of housing units for sale, thus boosting sales. During the first half of the year, construction started
on a total of 1,227 (1,745) housing units for private customers and 442 (354) housing units for the investor market. The waitand-see approach adopted by the market in Finland and Sweden resulted in a cautious attitude toward starting new housing units for private customers. However, the continued interest shown by investors enabled an increase in housing starts.
The number of unsold, completed housing units increased by 22 units during the period and amounted to 220. At mid-year, the number of housing units under construction for private customers was 4,506 (4,353). The sales rate for ongoing housing projects for private customers was 48 percent (54) and the completion rate was 51 percent (44). An increasing number of customers are purchasing housing units upon completion, thus resulting in a slightly lower average sales rate for housing units under construction. The completion rate in 2012 has increased due to the high level of production in ongoing projects, combined with a decline in the start-up of new housing projects.
During the first half of the year, 936 (931) housing units for private customers and 260 (332) housing units for the investor market were recognized in profit. Sales totaled SEK 2,649 M (2,461).
Profit amounted to SEK 185 M (88). The increase in earnings was attributable to higher margins in housing units for private customers recognized in profit and earnings from sales of land.
Capital employed rose SEK 1.7 billion to SEK 10.0 billion due to increased volumes of ongoing projects.

1) Of the total number of housing units under construction to the investor market, 1,065 (1,252), 489 (953) has already been profit-recognized and 576 (299) remains to be profit-recognized.
The diagram shows the estimated date of completion for housing production in progress for private customers (both housing units sold and for sale). Profit from housing projects sold to private customers is recognized at the date of transfer.
The market remained cautious, resulting in protracted decisionmaking processes. While investor demand for modern, "green" properties with stable tenants in prime locations remained favorable, demand for other properties declined. The Nordic market is perceived as attractive compared with many other markets in Europe. The banks' restrictive approach to credit granting is making it more difficult for investors to finance property acquisitions. The rental market is stable in terms of both rents and vacancies.
One project sale was recognized in profit during the quarter: the Arendal I logistics project in Sweden. Two new office projects were started in Finland: Alberga C and Plaza Halo. Three sales completed during the quarter will be recognized in profit in future quarters: the Alberga B office project, phase 1 of the Tornby retail project and the Hämeenlinna Centrum shopping center. For information on future profit recognition of projects, refer to the table on the following page.
At the end of the quarter, 26 projects were ongoing or completed, but had not yet been recognized in profit. The costs incurred in all projects amounted to SEK 2.7 billion (1.8), corresponding to a completion rate of 46 (49) percent. The leasing rate was 57 percent. Leases for 19,000 square meters of floor space (14,000) were signed during the quarter.
Net sales declined slightly year-on-year to SEK 392 M (441) due to fewer projects recognized in profit.
The operating result was lower than in the year-earlier period and amounted to a loss of SEK 4 M (profit: 19). A total of 1 (2) project sale was recognized in profit during the quarter. Sales of land and profit from earlier sales contributed to earnings.
Capital employed increased SEK 0.3 billion during the quarter to SEK 4.6 billion.
A total of three project sales were recognized in profit: one in Sweden, one in Finland and one in Denmark. Construction started on six projects, four of which are located in Finland and two in Norway. Leases for 31,000 square meters of floor space (20,000) were signed during the period.
Net sales increased year-on-year. Most of the company's net sales derived from the projects recognized in profit during the first quarter.
Operating profit was higher than in the year-earlier period. Three projects were recognized in profit during the first six months of the year and profit from earlier sales and sales of land contributed to earnings.
Due to investments in ongoing property projects, capital employed increased to SEK 4.6 billion.

The Parent Company has compiled its interim report pursuant to the Swedish Annual Accounts Act (1995:1554) and the Swedish Financial Reporting Board's recommendation RFR 2 Accounting for Legal Entities.
The interim report for the Parent Company has been prepared in accordance with the same accounting policies and methods of calculation as the 2011 Annual Report (Note 1, pages 60- 67).
An account of the risks to which NCC may be exposed is presented in the 2011 Annual Report (pages 46-48). This description remains relevant.
Significant risks and uncertainties for the Parent Company are identical to those of the Group.
The companies related to the Parent Company are the Nordstjernan Group, the Axel Johnson Group and NCC's subsidiaries, associated companies and joint ventures. The Parent Company's related-party transactions were of a production character. Related-company sales during the April-June quarter amounted to SEK 10 M (60) and purchases to SEK 134 M (136). For the January-June period, sales amounted to SEK 23 M (108) and purchases to SEK 152 M (271). The transactions were conducted on normal market terms.
During the period, the company repurchased 415,500 Series B shares to cover its commitments under the long-term incentive program approved by the 2012 Annual General Meeting. Subsequently, the number of outstanding shares amounts to 108,020,322.
NCC's 2012 Annual General Meeting resolved in accordance with the Board's motion to introduce a long-term performancebased incentive program (LTI 2012) for senior executives and key personnel within the Group. The program, which extends over three years, encompasses not more than 867,486 Series B shares, corresponding to 0.8 percent of the total number of shares, and has been secured through the repurchase of shares on NASDAQ OMX Stockholm. The cost of the program has been calculated at SEK 36 M based on 116 participants, a share price of SEK 123 and maximum outcome under LTI 2012. NCC's debt/equity ratio has been affected only marginally. Following the introduction of the LTI program, maximum short-term remuneration has been reduced by 10 percentage points for the CEO and other members of Group management and by 5 to 10 percentage points for the other participants in the LTI 2012.
NCC Construction Norway has entered into an agreement to acquire the Norwegian construction company OKK Entreprenør AS. OKK's core operations focus on the production of housing units and commercial properties. OKK operates in Oslo and the Drammen region southwest of Oslo. OKK generates annual sales of approximately SEK 1 billion and has 350 employees. The acquisition was approved by the Norwegian competition authority on July 20, which was a prerequisite for the execution of the acquisition, and the transaction was completed in August. OKK Entreprenør AS will be consolidated with NCC Construction Norway as from the third quarter 2012.
In accordance with the Board's motion, NCC's Annual General Meeting on April 4, 2012 resolved to pay a dividend of SEK 10.00 (10.00) per share to the shareholders for the 2011 fiscal year. This corresponds to a total dividend payment of SEK 1,084 M, which was paid to the shareholders on April 16, 2012.
Ann Lindell Saeby has been appointed as the new Senior Vice President Corporate Communications for NCC AB. She will join NCC from Fortum, where she is the Vice President External Communications & Brand for the Group. She will assume the role as Senior Vice President Corporate Communications for NCC AB on November 1, 2012 and will be a member of Group management. Ann Lindell Saeby is a Graduate in Business Management from the Stockholm School of Economics. Acting Senior Vice President Corporate Communications, Ulf Thorné, will resume his normal duties as Communication Manager for the NCC Construction Sweden business area as of November 1.

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 needs-based, 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, offer sustainable solutions and 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 interest-bearing 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 after-tax 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 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 referred to as 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-of-completion 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.
