NCC finished 2011 on a strong note and the beginning of 2012 remained promising. Our earnings improved compared with the year-earlier period and demand for our products and services continued to be favorable.
Orders received in the first quarter were strong, albeit somewhat lower than in year-earlier period. In the construction and civil engineering operations, orders received varied in our different markets. Sweden and Denmark reported a decline in orders received, while Norway, in particular, reported an increase, as did Finland. Our order backlog rose to SEK 47.9 billion at the end of the quarter.
Our seasonally weak operating results improved to a loss of SEK 130 M (loss: 281), mainly due to higher earnings from our development operations. Property and land sales boosted earnings in NCC Property Development and the housing units recognized in profit by NCC Housing generated greater profitability than in the year-earlier period.
However, not all developments during the quarter were positive. Our construction operations in Norway and Finland reported unsatisfactory earnings. Earnings in the first quarter were also impacted by more projects being subject to impairment losses than write-ups. In 2011 and 2012, we took a number of actions in Finland and Norway with the aim of restoring profitability, including organizational changes. I am confident that these measures will improve our future profitability, but it will take some time to generate results. I am pleased to report that orders received in these countries were strong during the quarter and the margins on our new orders are higher than the average in the order backlog.
Growth in Norway is a prioritized area of our strategy and we made good progress in increasing the level of activity in Norway during the first quarter – orders received in the construction operations rose 149 percent and construction on two property development projects was initiated.
Our strategy also includes the aim of expanding the housing development business in all markets. This expansion must take place at a rate considered tolerable by the market and at a controlled risk. While demand in the housing market was stable in the first quarter, the sales process is protracted and home buyers want a
short period between purchasing their home and taking possession of it. We increased the number of housing units under construction during the quarter and expect a stable trend in the housing market in 2012, which will provide us with the necessary prerequisites to start up housing projects.
Peter Wågström, President and CEO Solna, April 27, 2012
Orders received amounted to SEK 11,723 M (12,398). The main reason for the decline in orders received was a weaker trend in orders received in the Construction units in Sweden and Denmark due to fewer major projects. Meanwhile, orders received were strong in Finland and Norway. NCC Housing started more housing projects than in the year-earlier period. The Group's order backlog increased SEK 1,585 M to SEK 47,899 M. Exchange-rate effects had a positive impact of SEK 75 M on orders received compared with the year-earlier period.
Net sales increased year-on-year to SEK 10,659 M (8,533). NCC Property Development delivered several projects during the quarter, resulting in high sales. NCC Housing boosted its sales to both private individuals and investors. After a long period of increasing its orders received, NCC's Construction units are now experiencing a high level of production activity. This resulted in strong sales during the quarter. Exchange-rate effects had a positive impact of SEK 41 M on sales compared with the yearearlier period.
NCC's operating result improved year-on-year to a loss of SEK 130 M (loss: 281). NCC Property Development displayed the strongest earnings improvement due to higher sales of projects and land. Earnings also improved in NCC Housing as a result of higher sales and stronger margins. Earnings in NCC's Construction units in Sweden and Denmark also improved due to higher volumes.
Cash flow from operating activities was in line with the year-earlier period. Stronger sales of property projects were offset by increased activity in housing projects. Capital tied up in other working capital increased, mainly due to a decrease in current interest-free liabilities, particularly advance payments linked to property projects. In the corresponding period in 2011, a supplementary tax payment was made for the Parent Company.
Net indebtedness (interest-bearing liabilities less cash and cash equivalents less interest-bearing receivables) at March 31 amounted to SEK 5,201 M (1,700) (refer also to Note 5, Specification of net indebtedness). At December 31, 2011, net
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. For the rolling 12 month period ending March 31, 2012, net sales amounted to SEK 54,661 M (48,267) and operating profit to SEK 2,168 M (2,087).
indebtedness was SEK 3,960 M. The capital maturity period for interest-bearing liabilities, excluding loans in Finnish housing companies and Swedish tenant owner associations, was 35 (44) months at the end of the quarter. NCC's unutilized committed lines of credit at March 31, 2012 amounted to SEK 3.9 billion (3.5), with an average remaining maturity of 50 (24) months.

Demand in the Nordic construction market increased in 2011 and remained favorable in early 2012. However, the market trend is difficult to assess. The GDP forecasts in NCC's markets are weak and NCC does not expect construction investments to grow significantly in 2012.
Orders received by NCC's Construction units were favorable at SEK 8,973 M (9,342) but slightly lower than in the first quarter of 2011. In Sweden and Denmark, orders received declined due to fewer major projects. The order backlog increased in Finland because of a higher number of projects in the housing sector, as well as in Norway, where a couple of major contracting and property projects were carried out.
Net sales were generally higher or unchanged as a result of a higher opening order backlog. Sales for NCC's Construction units totaled SEK 8,895 M (7,535).
Earnings in Sweden improved year-on-year due to higher volume. Both earnings and margins improved in Denmark, while earnings for the Construction units in Finland and Norway declined due to impairment losses on various projects. Earnings in Norway were also impacted by delayed project starts in the quarter. Operating profit for NCC's Construction units totaled SEK 130 M (120).

The trend in the aggregates market has been stable since 2010. While the asphalt market is expected to be relatively stable, a minor slowdown may possibly be expected. 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. However, NCC faces intense competition from public-sector players.
The volume of aggregates sold increased, in such markets as Norway. The sales volume for asphalt also increased, albeit from a low level since the season has not yet properly commenced. Road services reported a slightly higher volume than in the year-earlier period, as well as a higher number of projects but less winter work. Sales increased year-on-year to SEK 1,292 M (1,162).
Earnings in the first quarter, which is seasonally weak, declined slightly compared with the year-earlier period. The company reported an operating loss of SEK 395 M (loss: 388).
CAPITAL EMPLOYED
Capital employed declined SEK 0.4 billion during the quarter due to a normal decline in activity during the first quarter.

The market adopted a wait-and-see approach during the first quarter. Demand in the housing markets in Sweden, Finland and Germany was stable. However, the supply of both newly produced housing units and housing in the secondary market increased, which contributed to slightly longer sales processes. The price trends were stable in most markets. In Norway 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.
Sales of proprietary housing units declined marginally during the quarter compared with the year-earlier period. While the number of housing units for sale increased, several customers indicated that they would prefer to sign leases closer to the date of occupancy due to a combination of supply, price expectations and financing opportunities. A total of 739 (741) housing units were sold, of which 143 (132) were sold to investors. Construction started on a total of 793 (724) housing units during the quarter, of which 119 (154) were projects for investors. The number of unsold, completed housing units decreased during the quarter and amounted to 192 at the end of the quarter. The number of housing units under construction for private customers has increased continuously since mid-2010.
Net sales increased year-on-year, primarily because of a higher average price for housing units for private customers and to investors. A total of 357 (324) proprietary housing units and 119 (132) housing units in projects for investors were recognized in profit for the first quarter. Sales amounted to SEK 1,045 M (844).
Profit amounted to SEK 81 M (3). Operating profit for the quarter was higher than in the year-earlier period as a result of increased sales and margins. The operations in Sweden had the greatest impact on the operating margin.
Capital employed rose SEK 0.7 billion during the quarter to SEK 9.1 billion due to increased volumes of ongoing projects.

NCC noted continued caution among both tenants and investors in the market, which resulted in protracted decision-making processes. Growing investor confidence in the Nordic markets compared with other markets in Europe is becoming an increasingly clear trend. The rental market was stable in the first quarter with regard to both rents and vacancies
Two project sales were recognized in profit during the first quarter: the Gladsaxe office project in Denmark and Myllymäki Retail Park I in Finland. Four new projects were started of which two office projects: the Östensjöveien 27 and Stavanger Business Park in Norway and the Plaza Tuike office project and Lohja 4a retail center in Finland. At the end of the quarter, 25 (22) projects were ongoing or completed, but had not yet been recognized in profit. Costs incurred in these projects amounted to SEK 2.2 billion (1.6), corresponding to 38 percent (48) of the total project cost of SEK 5.9 billion (3.3). The leasing rate for ongoing and completed projects was 53 percent and the completion rate was 38 percent. Leases for 10,662 square meters of floor space (6,456) were signed during the quarter.
Net sales increased year-on-year and the two projects recognized in profit accounted for the largest portion of sales. No projects were recognized in profit in the yearearlier period.
Two projects were recognized in profit, compared with no projects in the year-earlier period. Combined with sales of land and earnings from earlier sales, this resulted in stronger earnings during the quarter. Operating profit amounted to SEK 112 M (loss: 41). For future profit recognition of projects, refer to the table on the following page.
Capital employed increased SEK 0.6 billion during the quarter to SEK 4.3 billion.

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, 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 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 volumes. 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.

In its capacity as issuer, NCC AB is releasing the information in this interim report for January – March 2012 pursuant to Chapter 17 of the Swedish Securities Market Act (2007:528). The information was distributed to the media for publication at 11:40 CET on Friday, April 27.
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 on investments required by customers of NCC Property Development and NCC Housing, which is to be achieved through rental guarantees. 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).
FINANCIAL KEY FIGURES
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 rewards 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.
