"Demand in the Nordic construction was weak during the second quarter. Orders received declined 31 percent compared with the year-earlier period and amounted to SEK 11,931 M (17,408).
"Second-quarter sales were lower than in the year-earlier period. As a result of excellent project implementation and reduced costs, the operating margin was in line with the year-earlier period. Operating profit amounted to SEK 858 M (968).
"Higher sales of housing units and commercial properties and lower investments in land held for future development led to an improved cash flow compared with the year-earlier period. Cash flow before financing was SEK 746 M (negative: 1,888) for the second quarter. Net indebtedness at the end of the quarter was SEK 4,256 M (5,975).
"The housing market made a slight recovery in the second quarter, particularly in Sweden and Norway. We started new housing projects in these markets, as well as in Finland and Germany, during the period. However, until we see signs of permanent stabilization, we will adopt a cautious approach to the initiation of additional new projects. NCC started 262 (766) proprietary housing units and sold 1,109 (964) units during the second quarter. In addition, land with associated construction contracts corresponding to 142 housing units in rental apartment projects was sold to investors.
"We believe that demand in the Nordic construction market will be weak during the second half of 2009 and also in 2010. NCC's operations and costs are continuously being adjusted to the lower volumes and we are continuing to focus on optimizing cash flow and reducing tied-up capital."
The Nordic construction market remained weak during the first six months of 2009, with lower demand for housing units, offices and other buildings, primarily from private customers. Inquiries regarding new public-sector projects, such as schools and homes for the elderly, were not impacted by the economic downturn to the same extent. Interest in constructing rental apartments increased during the first six months of the year.
The infrastructure initiatives in the civil engineering segment that had been announced in several countries were not started on any large scale during the first half of the year.
Demand for asphalt and aggregates declined during the first six months compared with the year-earlier period. The aggregates market stabilized somewhat in the second quarter compared with the first.
After the sharp decline in the housing market at the end of 2008 and the beginning of 2009, the market stabilized during the second quarter of 2009. The conditions in NCC's sub-markets are most favorable in Sweden and Norway, while the Baltic region and Denmark are facing the most difficult conditions.
Market conditions for commercial properties did not improve during the second quarter. The leasing market in all of NCC's markets weakened, resulting in rising vacancies and falling rents. The largest decline occurred in the retail segment. The property market is characterized by uncertainty, with few transactions being implemented.

1) All comparative figures are pro forma due to new organisation structure.
Orders received declined to SEK 11,931 M (17,408). The decline was primarily attributable to NCC Construction Sweden and NCC Housing, although orders received were also weak in other Construction units. The largest decrease was noted for building projects, such as offices, retail and industry. The decrease in proprietary housing construction also contributed to the decline. Orders received rose by SEK 510 M compared with the year-earlier period due to exchange-rate changes.
Orders received for proprietary housing projects amounted to SEK 422 M (2,031) and orders received for proprietary property development projects to SEK 40 M (733).
The order backlog on June 30 was SEK 35,096 M (46,165), of which orders for proprietary housing projects accounted for SEK 3,975 M (9,973). On March 31, the order backlog totaled SEK 38,318 M.
During the second quarter, there were 262 (766) proprietary housing starts and 1,109 (964) units were sold. After the sharp decline in the housing market at the end of 2008 and the beginning of 2009, the market stabilized during the second quarter of 2009. Strict pre-booking requirements for the start-up of projects and the bleak market outlook contributed to the restrained level of housing starts. Sales campaigns, mainly in Sweden and Finland, and price reductions adjusted to market conditions led to an increase in sales. Sales also rose in the Baltic region and Denmark, where market conditions were weaker than in other sub-markets. The number of completed unsold housing units was 620 (462). On March 31, the number of completed unsold housing units was 780. The number of completed unsold housing units declined primarily in Sweden, Finland and Denmark.
Costs incurred in all projects initiated by NCC Property Development totaled SEK 1.1 billion (1.2), corresponding to 86 percent (54) of the total project costs of SEK 1.3 billion (2.2). The leasing rate on June 30 was 63 percent (62). On March 31, the leasing rate for projects was 63 percent.
Orders received amounted to SEK 20,097 M (29,401). The largest decline was reported in NCC Construction Sweden, for which the year-earlier period included a number of major building and civil engineering projects.
Orders received for proprietary housing projects in the Group totaled SEK 778 M (3,279). Market conditions for the initiation of new projects were weaker than in the year-earlier period and this factor, combined with NCC's strict pre-booking requirements, resulted in a reduction in proprietary housing construction. During the first half of the year, there were 321 (1,180) proprietary housing starts and 1,685 (1,510) units were sold. Sales rose during the first six months due to sales campaigns and price reductions adapted to market conditions. Orders received for proprietary property development projects amounted to SEK 197 M (1,097).
Compared with December 31, 2008, the order backlog declined 13 percent or SEK 5,330 M during the first six months of the year.

1) All comparative figures are pro forma due to new organisation structure.
Net sales declined 10 percent to SEK 13,992 M (15,623). Sales fell due to lower construction activity in the Nordic region, particularly for commercial premises. Sales of housing and properties were high. Sales of asphalt and aggregates were lower, although the situation for aggregates stabilized somewhat during the second quarter. Exchange-rate changes had a positive impact on sales in the amount of SEK 687 M compared with the year-earlier period.
Interim report period, January-June 2009 Net sales totaled SEK 25,057 M (27,035).
Operating profit amounted to SEK 858 M (968). Despite lower volumes, the Construction units managed to maintain their operating margin, due to excellent project implementation and reduced costs. Earnings for the Finnish Construction unit were affected by a weak market in the Baltic region. NCC Construction Norway's earnings were impacted by the large downturn in volume. NCC Housing's sales of housing were high but margins were low. Earnings were also charged with impairment losses of SEK 55 M regarding completed unsold housing units in Denmark and the Baltic countries. NCC Property Development's earnings were higher than in the year-earlier period as a result of an increase in property sales. NCC Roads reported higher earnings, thanks to reduced prices for its input materials and the final settlement of SEK 38 M for the sale of the Polish asphalt operations.
Other items and eliminations amounted to SEK 57 M (negative 14). The increase in this item resulted from higher sales of housing units and properties, which enabled reversals of sales rate eliminations and inter-company profits amounting to SEK129 M (neg: 43). The item also includes SEK 50 M in expenses for the increased competition-impeding fee that NCC has been ordered to pay.
Profit after financial items amounted to SEK 729 M (883). The weaker net financial financial items were primarily due to high interest rates in the Baltic region and Russia.
Profit after tax for the period amounted to SEK 551 M (675). The tax rate for the quarter was about 24 percent (24).
Operating profit amounted to SEK 623 M (1,138). The decline compared with the year-earlier period was largely due to a weaker first quarter, when earnings were impacted by weaker conditions in the housing market, lower gains from property sales and a weak start to the year for NCC Roads. Exchangerate changes had a marginal effect on earnings compared with the year-earlier period.
The decline in NCC Construction Sweden's earnings was due to lower sales compared with the corresponding period of 2008, although the operating margin was in line with the year-earlier period.
NCC Construction Denmark reported lower operating profit during the first six months of the year compared with the year-earlier period, due to lower sales. Profitability increased as a result of lower prices for input materials.
NCC Construction Finland's earnings weakened compared with the year-earlier period due to lower sales and to a weak market in the Baltic region.
NCC Construction Norway's operating profit was higher than in the corresponding period of 2008, thanks to higher earnings forecasts for many major projects that are nearing competition.
Earnings for NCC Housing were impacted by price reductions for housing units, which were implemented to stimulate sales of housing units in the sub-markets exposed to the most intense competition. During the first quarter, an impairment loss of SEK 68 M was recognized for completed housing units, and impairment losses for the first six months of the year totaled SEK 123 M.
NCC Property Development's earnings were lower than in the year-earlier period, due to a decline in supplementary purchase considerations and a reduction in reversals of rental guarantees.
NCC Roads improved its earnings during the second quarter. However, the weak first quarter meant that earnings for the first six months of 2009 were lower than in the year-earlier period, primarily due to lower volumes.
Profit after financial items amounted to SEK 377 M (1,000). The deterioration in net financial items during the first six months of the year was primarily due to the higher net indebtedness that NCC reported in the first quarter and higher interest rates in the Baltic region and Russia.
Profit after tax for the period amounted to SEK 289 M (765).
NCC Roads' operations and certain operations in NCC Construction units are affected by seasonal variations resulting from cold weather conditions. Accordingly, the first quarter is generally weak for these units, while the second quarter is more favorable.
Cash flow from operating activities before changes in working capital amounted to SEK 603 M (723). Lower profit for the quarter compared with the corresponding quarter of 2008 had an adverse impact on cash flow.
Cash flow from changes in working capital amounted to SEK 318 M (negative: 2,487). Increased sales and postponed investments in land held for future development in both NCC Property Development and NCC Housing led to improvements in cash flow from changes in working capital. The active efforts taken to reduce accounts receivable affected cash flow. The year-earlier period included a number of large accounts receivable that were paid directly after June 30. A decline in interest-free financing resulted in higher tied-up capital.
Cash flow from investing activities amounted to a negative SEK 175 M (negative: 125). The sale of a minor subsidiary in the year-earlier period had a positive impact on investing activities. In other respects, investments declined during the most recent quarter.
Cash flow before financing amounted to SEK 746 M (negative: 1,888).
Cash flow from financing activities amounted to a negative SEK 171 M (positive: 1,399).
Cash flow from operating activities before changes in working capital amounted to SEK 399 M (869). The decline was due to the lower earnings compared with the year-earlier period. Increased impairment losses meant that non-cash items had a greater impact.
Cash flow from changes in working capital amounted to a negative SEK 694 M (negative: 3,495). Increased sales and postponed investments in land held for future development in both NCC Property Development and NCC Housing led to improvements in cash flow from changes in working capital. A decline in interest-free financing resulted in higher tied-up capital.
Cash flow from investing activities amounted to a negative SEK 316 M (negative: 384). A slightly lower rate of investment had a positive impact on cash flow.
Cash flow before financing amounted to a negative SEK 610 M (negative: 3,010).
Cash flow from financing activities amounted to SEK 1,182 M (2,082).
Cash and cash equivalents, including short-term investments with a maturity period exceeding three months, totaled SEK 2,601 M (932).

Net indebtedness (interest-bearing liabilities less cash and cash equivalents less interest-bearing receivables) amounted to SEK 4,256 M (5,975) on June 30; see also Note 5, "Specification of net indebtedness." On March 31, net indebtedness was SEK 4,608 M. The maturity period for interest-bearing liabilities was 25 (13) months at the end of the quarter. On June 30, NCC's unutilized committed lines of credit amounted to SEK 4.1 billion (4.1), with an average remaining maturity period of 29 (38) months.
In the 2008 Annual Report (pages 39-42), an account is made of the risks to which NCC is exposed. The description of risks reported there remains relevant.
Since the reporting of certain items is based on estimates and assessments, such items are subject to uncertainty. In the prevailing market situation, this is particularly relevant for the value of land held for future development and for ongoing property development and housing projects. These are reported based on existing assumptions, which are currently difficult to assess, concerning, for example, sales prices, production costs, land prices, rent levels, required rates of return and the timing of production and/or sales. NCC is monitoring the prevailing market trends and is continuously testing the assumptions that have been made.
Significant risks and uncertainties for the Parent Company are identical to those of the Group, as described above.
On May 28, the Swedish Market Court ordered NCC to pay competition-impeding damages of SEK 200 M. The verdict, which entails an increase in NCC's competition-impeding damages from SEK 150 M to SEK 200 M, is completely contrary to NCC's claim for full exemption from competition-impeding damages. According to the Competition Act, companies that make a highly significant contribution to facilitating investigations should be granted exemption from the fee. NCC posted a provision of SEK 150 M in the accounts for 2007 to cover the fee. The fact that the fee has now been raised means that SEK 50 M will be charged against earnings for the second quarter. Payment of the fee will affect the Group's cash flow for the second quarter of 2009 in the amount of SEK 200 M.
In the case regarding the appealed verdict from the Finnish Market Court, negotiations are being conducted with the Finnish Supreme Administrative Court. A verdict is expected in October 2009.
No shares were repurchased or sold during the first six months of 2009. The Company holds 21,138 Series B treasury shares. Including these shares, the number of shares outstanding amounts to 108,414,684.

This interim report has been compiled in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The interim report is compiled in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and the interpretations of financial standards, International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) as approved by the EU.
The interim report has been prepared in accordance with the same accounting policies and methods of calculation as the 2008 Annual Report (Note 1, pages 54-64) with the exception of principles described below.
Revised IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements is applied as of January 1, 2009. One of the amendments is that income and expenses that were previously recognized directly in shareholders' equity are now recognized in the Statement of comprehensive income in conjunction with the income statement. New designations for the financial statements may be used, although this is not compulsory. NCC has chosen to retain the old designations.
Revised IAS 23 Borrowing Costs is applied as of January 1, 2009. Borrowing costs are now capitalized for projects that take a substantial period of time to get ready for use and that were initiated after January 1, 2009.
The change to IAS 23 only had a marginal impact during the second quarter and the first six months of the year.
IFRS 8 Operating Segments is applied as of January 1, 2009. The new business area NCC Housing becomes a segment as part of this reporting. The new segment also means that the former Construction business areas will change. Comparative figures for 2008 are amended in the new structure. Refer also to Note 6. Segment reporting.
