Comments from CEO Peter Wågström

MARKET AND ORDERS RECEIVED

"Demand in the Nordic construction market was favorable and orders received in the second quarter rose 24 percent compared with the year-earlier period. The strong orders received contributed to the increase in the order backlog by SEK 5.9 billion to SEK 49.9 billion, which is a historically high level. There are many tenders and business opportunities in the market, but the impact of the turbulence in the global economy on demand in the Nordic construction market during the second half of the year is difficult to assess. In the long-term, economic growth is highly significant to the size of construction investments."

"The housing market in the Nordic region was characterized by healthy demand and stable prices. During the second quarter, we started 1,375 (1,018) housing units, of which 200 (286) in projects for the investor market. In Sweden, higher interest rates, loan ceilings and concern about the economic trend caused housing sales to take slightly longer. There is an underlying need for housing in all our principal markets, but the degree to which the economic development will impact customers' potential to purchase or lease housing in the future is currently difficult to assess. We now have a low risk profile in our housing portfolio, which is also distributed across several geographic markets."

SALES

"Sales rose 8 percent in the second quarter, compared with the year-earlier period. Our Construction units have reported increased orders received for a long period, which, with delays, resulted in higher production and sales."

EARNINGS

"Profit after financial items amounted to SEK 502 M (617) for the second quarter. The year-on-year change was due to lower earnings in NCC Construction Finland, NCC Construction Norway and NCC Roads, and payment received of nonrecurring remuneration of SEK 57 M for the A2 highway project in Poland last year."

"In Finland, earnings were impacted by impairment losses in a major project and a weak market in the Baltic countries. The market in the Baltic region was weak and has had an adverse effect on earnings in NCC Construction Finland since the financial crisis in autumn 2008. Market conditions have been worse in Latvia and Lithuania and our operations there have been at a very low level. During the quarter, we made a decision to discontinue the operations in Lithuania and recognized associated expenses."

PROFIT/LOSS AFTER FINANCIAL ITEMS, SEK M

"Profitability in NCC's Construction units in the second quarter was also impacted by projects secured during 2009. However, the portion of projects secured during the difficult times is decreasing and the impact of these will decline during the second half of 2011. New orders have a higher margin than in the past."

"In 2010, the housing construction starts for private customers commenced and many homes will be completed during the second half of 2011, particularly in the fourth quarter."

Peter Wågström, President and CEO Solna, August 18, 2011

Group performance

MOST RECENT QUARTER, APRIL - JUNE 2011

ORDERS RECEIVED AND ORDER BACKLOG

Orders received amounted to SEK 18,038 M (14,601). Demand for housing was the main reason for the year-onyear increase in orders received. Proprietary start-ups of housing projects as well as external construction contracts contributed to the high orders received, which rose the highest in Sweden. The Group's order backlog rose 14 percent to SEK 49,882 M. Exchange-rate effects had an adverse impact of SEK 563 M on orders received, compared with the year-earlier period.

NET SALES

Net sales amounted to SEK 12,851 M (11,949), the increase was distributed across several units. NCC's Construction units have been experiencing higher orders received for a long period, which, after delay, results in increased production and sales. NCC Housing's sales rose since more housing units were recognized in profit than in the yearearlier period. NCC Roads' sales revenue rose as a result of higher activity in the Nordic construction markets. Exchange-rate effects had an adverse impact of SEK 415 M on sales compared with the year-earlier period.

EARNINGS

NCC's operating profit amounted to SEK 545 M (670). The decline compared with the year-earlier period was due to lower results in NCC Construction Finland, NCC Construction Norway and NCC Roads. The consolidated results for the year-earlier period were positively impacted by remuneration of SEK 57 M for the A2 highway project in Poland. Profitability in NCC's Construction units in Finland, Norway and Sweden was also impacted in the second quarter by construction contracts secured during 2009. NCC Roads' profitability was lower year-on-year, primarily due to higher prices for input materials, largely oil-based goods. Net financial items was an expense of SEK 44 M (expense: 54) and improved, despite higher net indebtedness, due to positive interest-rate changes and lower credit margins.

CASH FLOW

The cash flow from operating activities was lower on a yearto-year basis primarily due to higher receivables and a higher part of worked up, not invoiced, but also due to a lower profit after financial items and negative exchange rate differences. The cash flow from sales of housing projects was higher than 2010 as the number of profit recognized housing units was higher (807 compared to 657). Simultaneously the production of primarily housing projects has increased. The sales of property projects was higher than in 2010. Cash flow from sales of property projects also increased. Investments in machinery and equipment mainly occurred in NCC Roads. NCC Construction Norway acquired two companies during

the period. Last year NCC Roads in Denmark received a corporate tax refund.

GROUP PERFORMANCE

SEASONAL EFFECTS

NCC Roads' operations and certain operations in NCC Construction units are impacted by seasonal variations due to cold weather. The first and final quarters are normally weaker than the rest of the year. For the rolling 12-month period ending June 30, 2011, net sales amounted to SEK 49,169 M $(51,570)$ and operating profit to SEK 1,962 M $(2,503)$ .

NET INDEBTEDNESS

Net indebtedness (interest-bearing liabilities less cash and cash equivalents less interest-bearing receivables) on June 30 amounted to SEK 4,302 M (1,734), refer also to Note 5, Specification of net indebtedness. At March 31, 2011, the net indebtedness was SEK 1,700 M. The capital maturity period for interest-bearing liabilities, excluding loans in Finnish housing companies and Swedish tenant owner associations. was 35 (36) months at the end of the quarter. NCC's unutilized committed lines of credit on June 30 amounted to SEK 3.5 billion (3.7), with an average remaining maturity period of 23 (33) months.

INTERIM REPORT, JANUARY - JUNE 2011

ORDERS RECEIVED AND ORDER BACKLOG

Orders received amounted to SEK 30,436 M (28,605). Increased economic activities and demand for housing units, combined with a stable level in infrastructure investments increased the range of new projects in the market. Start-ups of proprietary housing projects contributed positively to orders received. Exchange-rate effects had an adverse impact of SEK 1,130 M on orders received compared with the vear-earlier period. The order backlog rose SEK 9.456 M to SEK 49,882 M.

NET SALES

Net sales amounted to SEK 21,383 M (21,634). The sales in all NCC Construction units and NCC Roads increased. NCC Housing reported lower sales as a result of lower average price per recognized-profit unit. Exchange-rate effects had an adverse impact of SEK 805 M on sales compared with the year-earlier period.

EARNINGS

NCC's operating profit amounted to SEK 265 M (556). The decline was due to the weak business cycle in 2009 when few development projects were started and competition for bids was tough. Costs for the severe winter also contributed to the lower results. Net financial items were an expense of SEK 89 M (expense: 122). The improvement was attributable to lower interest-rate levels in financing and higher yield on cash and cash equivalents.

CASH FLOW

Cash flow from operating activities was lower year-on-year, primarily due to lower cash flow from the sale of housing projects and higher production in property and housing projects. Investments in machinery and equipment increased in NCC Roads. NCC Construction Norway acquired two companies and during the period a major supplementary tax payment in the Parent Company during the period was made.

NCC's Construction-units

MARKET PERFORMANCE

The market trend was positive during the first six months of the year. Demand in the Nordic construction market was favorable primarily for housing units and other housing construction. The civil-engineering market was stable. There are many tenders in the market but it is difficult to assess how the turbulence in the global economy will impact demands in the Nordic construction market during the second half of the year. In the long-term, the economic growth is highly significant to the size of construction investments.

MOST RECENT QUARTER, APRIL - JUNE 2011

ORDERS RECEIVED AND ORDER BACKLOG

Orders received rose primarily in Sweden and Norway due to healthy demand for housing and civilengineering projects.

NET SALES

Net sales rose in all Construction units. This was due to NCC's prolonged increase in orders received, which with a certain delay, impacted sales.

OPERATING RESULTS

Earnings in the Swedish operations were at the same level as the year-earlier period. The Danish operations reported higher results and operating margin due to successful risk management and project selection. In Finland, results declined due to impairment losses in a major project and a weak market in the Baltic countries, where the operation in Lithuania was discontinued.

All expenses for the discontinuation have been included and amounted to SEK 9 M for the quarter. Project impairments in a region had an impact on results in Norway, where measures were taken.

INTERIM PERIOD JANUARY - JUNE 2011

ORDERS RECEIVED AND ORDER BACKLOG

Orders received rose during the first six months compared with the year-earlier period due to high orders received during the second quarter. The order backlog at the end of the period was at a high level, following several quarters with high levels of orders received.

NET SALES

Net sales were higher year-on-year in all units due to higher opening order backlog and continued increase in orders received during the year.

OPERATING RESULTS

The volume increase contributed to maintaining results in the Construction units, but profitability was impacted by projects secured during 2009, project impairments and winter expenses.

MARKET PERFORMANCE

The increased demand in the construction market resulted in higher demand for stone-material products (aggregates). Following a significant decline in the stone-material market in 2009, volumes recovered in 2010 and during the first six months of 2011. The asphalt volumes decreased in 2010 but increased during the first half of 2011.

MOST RECENT QUARTER, APRIL - JUNE 2011

NET SALES

The second quarter was characterized by higher volumes for primarily stone materials but also for asphalt. Sales rose year-on-year and amounted to SEK 3,204 M (3,002).

OPERATING RESULTS

The operating profit amounted to SEK 271 M (319). It was primarily strong price competition and higher prices for input materials, mainly oil-based goods, that led to lower earnings for asphalt/paving, compared with the year-earlier period.

CAPITAL EMPLOYED

Capital employed rose SEK 0.9 billion as a result of increased activity and amounted to SEK 3.6 billion.

INTERIM PERIOD JANUARY - JUNE 2011

NET SALES

The first six months of the year were characterized by higher volumes for mainly stone materials but also for asphalt. Sales amounted to SEK 4,365 M (4,058).

OPERATING RESULTS

Results for the period improved year-on-year and amounted to a loss of SEK 117 M (loss: 196). Earnings improved in all lines of business; stone materials, asphalt/paving and road services.

CAPITAL EMPLOYED

Capital employed rose SEK 0.8 billion as a result of increased activity and amounted to SEK 3.6 billion.

NCC Housing

MARKET PERFORMANCE

The housing markets in Sweden, Finland, Norway, Germany and St. Petersburg was characterized by favorable demand and stable prices. In NCC's minor markets of Denmark, Estonia and Latvia, supply generally exceeds demand, although in some local markets, demand increased with rising prices. In all NCC's principal markets, there is an underlying need for housing but how the economic trend will impact the possibility for customers to purchase or lease housing in the future is currently difficult to assess.

MOST RECENT QUARTER APRIL - JUNE 2011

HOUSING SALES AND CONSTRUCTION STARTS

Housing sales were lower year-on-year. In total, 629 (794) housing units were sold to private customers and 200 (286) to the investment market. Major focus has been placed on increasing the number of starts and during the quarter, a total of 1,175 (732) housing units were started for private customers and 200 (286) for the investment market.

NET SALES

Net sales were higher year-on-year, as a result of more housing units for private customers being recognized in profit. However, the average price was lower than the yearearlier period primarily since larger housing units were recognized in profit in the year-earlier period. A total of 607 (371) housing units to private customers and 200 (286) to the investment market were recognized in profit.

OPERATING PROFIT

Profit amounted to SEK 84 M (59). The improved results were primarily attributable to higher sales.

CAPITAL EMPLOYED

Capital employed rose SEK 0.4 billion during the quarter as a result of higher volume in ongoing projects and amounted to SEK 7.4 billion.

INTERIM PERIOD JANUARY - JUNE 2011

HOUSING SALES AND CONSTRUCTION STARTS

Sales of housing units decreased slightly compared with the year-earlier period. In total, 1,238 (1,327) housing units were sold to private customers and 332 (397) to the investment market.

During the first six months of the year, a total of 1,745 $(1,698)$ housing units were started to private customers and 354 (397) to the investment market. The number of unsold, completed housing units was low at the end of the period and amounted to 91. Since mid-2010, the number of housing units under construction for private customers increased continuously and amounted to 4,353 (2,571) at June 30. The sales rate for units under construction for private customers amounted to 54 (60) percent and the completion rate to 44 $(46)$ percent.

NET SALES

During the first six months of the year, 931 (672) housing units for private customers were recognized in profit and 332 (397) to investors. The housing units that were recognized during the period had a lower average year-on-year price. Sales amounted to SEK 2,461 M (3,504).

OPERATING PROFIT

Profit amounted to SEK 88 M (282). The lower results are related to a lower average price per unit. During 2010, NCC increased the number of housing unit starts for private customers, which will increase the number of housing units recognized in profit later in 2011 and during 2012.

CAPITAL EMPLOYED

Capital employed rose SEK 0.6 billion as a result of higher volumes in projects in progress and amounted to SEK 7.4 billion.

The opening balances for 2010 were adjusted, partly due to a reclassfication to investor market projects, partly since the transition to IFRIC 15 has changed the accounting date for the completion of housing units.

NCC Property Development

MARKET PERFORMANCE

Market conditions stabilized, with increased interest from investors, but relatively few transactions were implemented. Concern about the economic trend has resulted in cautiousness in the market, resulting in longer decisionmaking processes. In the rental markets, the situation has stabilized, both in terms of rents and vacancies.

MOST RECENT QUARTER APRIL - JUNE 2011

PROPERTY PROJECTS

During the quarter, two project sales were recognized in profit, the Greve logistics project in Denmark and the Burlöv retail project in Sweden. A new office project, Alberga B, was started in Finland. At the end of the quarter, 21 projects were in progress or completed but not yet recognized in profit. Expenses incurred in all of NCC Property Development's started projects were SEK 1.8 billion (1.1), corresponding to 48 percent (48) of the total project cost of SEK 3.7 billion (2.2). The completion rate amounted to 48 percent, while the leasing rate was 46 percent.

NET SALES

The net sales were slightly lower year-on-year and the two project sales that were recognized in profit accounted for the largest portion of sales.

OPERATING PROFIT

Two sales were recognized in profit. The operating profit was higher than in the year-earlier period.

CAPITAL EMPLOYED

Capital employed rose during the quarter to SEK 3.4 billion, up SEK 0.1 billion.

INTERIM PERIOD JANUARY - JUNE 2011

PROPERTY PROJECT

A total of two project sales were recognized in profit and construction has started on four projects.

NET SALES

Net sales were higher than the year-earlier period. The largest portion of the net sales was from the two projects that were recognized in profit for the second quarter.

Operating profit was lower than the year-earlier period. During the first quarter, no projects were recognized in profit; only one land sale with minor impact on revenue.

CAPITAL EMPLOYED

Capital employed rose as a result of investments in ongoing property projects and amounted to SEK 3.4 billion.

Notes to the Parent Company's income statement and balance sheet

NOTE 1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

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 2010 Annual Report (Note 1, pages 56-63).

Significant risks and uncertainties

GROUP

The recent uncertainty in the global economic trend has also led to concern for the subsequent impact on the Nordic construction and property market. The future development may in turn have an impact on the measurement of some items that are based on appreciations and estimations. Values that may be impacted include properties held for

future development and ongoing property development and housing projects. An account of the risks to which NCC may be exposed is presented in the 2010 Annual Report (pages 41-43). This description is still relevant.

PARENT COMPANY

Significant risks and uncertainties for the Parent Company are identical to those of the Group.

Related-party transactions

The companies related to the Parent Company are the Nordstjernan Group, the Axel Johnson Group, NCC's subsidiaries and 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 60 M (34) and purchases to SEK 136 M (116). For the January – June interim period, sales amounted to SEK 108 M (64) and purchases to SEK 271 M (223). The transactions were conducted on normal market terms.

Information to shareholders

PURCHASE AND SALE OF REPURCHASED SHARES

At the Annual General Meeting on April 13, 2011, the Board of Directors was authorized, up to the next Annual General Meeting, to transfer the 21,138 repurchased Series B shares. During the period, the company sold these shares. Following the sale, the company has no treasury shares.

NCC's Annual General Meeting on April 13, 2010 resolved, in accordance with the Board's motion, to pay a dividend to shareholders of SEK 10.00 (6.00) per share for the 2010 fiscal year. This corresponds to a total dividend of SEK 1,084 M. The dividend was paid to shareholders on April 21, 2011.

Events after the close of the quarter

The Finnish Competition Authority (FCA) has opposed NCC's acquisition of Destia's asphalt operations. The FCA has requested that the Market Court ban the planned corporate merger.

NCC in brief

VISION

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

OBJECTIVE

NCC's overriding objective is to have the industry's highest production efficiency and the best employees and thereby be able to develop the most attractive customer offerings.

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.

ORGANIZATION

The Group operates construction and development business that extends from development to production and the aftermarket. The various operating sectors encompass the entire chain, but focus on different phases and have different capital requirements. The development operations are represented by NCC Housing and NCC Property Development and are characterized by early capital investments that are tied up for many years in, for example, a land investment and the sale of a finished project. The producing Construction units in NCC's construction and civil engineering operations require small amounts of tied-up capital and generate favorable cash flows. NCC Roads' operations are capital-intensive since they utilize such fixed

assets as asphalt plants and quarries. NCC Roads also accounts for most of the aftermarket through repair and maintenance activities for road networks.

THE THREE FOCUS AREAS OF THE STRATEGY

NCC's strategic orientation is to focus on products and services that give the Group a competitive edge over its competitors. The Group's geographical focus is on the Nordic region, Germany, the Baltic countries and St. Petersburg.

NCC's primary focus is on profitable growth and the Group aims to be a leading player in its existing and highly familiar markets. Growth must not compromise profitability and profitability is a prerequisite for growth. Achieving profitability requires a focus on quality and costs. Capitalizing on Group synergies across business areas and borders will strengthen the customer offering and lower the Group's costs. Sharper focus on the customer will strengthen NCC's position in the value chain.

Definitions

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 buyer's demand for a return on the acquisition of property and housing projects. Operating revenue less operating expenses divided by the investment value, also called vield.

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-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 income-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: Year-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.
