CEO comment

The fourth quarter brought a strong finish to a solid year for Construction, while Residential and Commercial Property Development remained impacted by weak property markets. As a Group, we maintain a robust financial position, take actions to adapt to the market situation and have a clear strategy for longterm value creation. The Board of Directors has proposed a dividend of SEK 5.50 per share.

The Construction stream ended the year strongly, with a high operating margin and solid order intake. Operating margin for the full year ended in line with our long-term target, with robust performance in the Nordics and strong delivery from the US operations. The order backlog remained high, supported by strong order intake in the US and Norway during the year. Rolling 12 months book-to-build was above one. A diversified portfolio with exposure to various geographies, segments and sectors provides stability to performance in our Construction business stream.

For our property businesses, Commercial Property Development, Residential Development and Investment Properties, the continued weakness in the property markets has led to challenges when assessing the value of property assets. After a thorough analysis, impairment charges and changes in fair market values were made to ensure that the recognized values reflect our best current assessment of the underlying value of our property assets.

In Residential Development sales volume remained lower than normal in the fourth quarter. The Central European market remains stable and delivered healthy results for the fourth quarter and full year while the other geographies are adapting to lower volumes. Sales activities are targeting homes that are completed or near completion as buyer interest is focused on homes that are ready to move into.

Commercial Property Development divested four properties in the quarter, two externally and two internally to Investment Properties, and three new projects were started. Summarizing the year, we have seen a lower-than-average volume of divestments as a result of weak markets. Leasing has strengthened over the year and is important to prepare the properties for divestment once transaction market activity returns.

Investment Properties ended the year with the acquisition of two properties from Commercial Property Development, one in Malmö and one in Stockholm. The two properties are, on average, leased to 87 percent and have achieved LEED Platinum, which is the highest level within the LEED sustainability certification. At the end of the year, the portfolio consisted of five high-quality office properties.

We continue to reduce carbon emissions in our own operations, scope 1 and 2, ending the year with a 60 percent reduction compared to our benchmark year of 2015. The progress in 2023 was mostly explained by increased purchase of renewable energy and use of biofuels.

Going forward, we remain focused on maintaining a robust financial position, strong performance in our Construction business and building the highest-quality modern office portfolio in Investment Properties. Where relevant, we have reduced the organization, adapting to the market situation and outlook. In Project Development, the growth strategy is on hold and our focus is on sales and leasing activities, ensuring an attractive customer offering and preparing for returned market activity. We continue to develop our operations through digital transformation and innovation. With dedicated people, a strong financial position and a clear strategy, we are committed to creating value for our shareholders, customers, business partners and society.

Construction

The US market continues to show strength, especially the infrastructure segment which is supported by strong federal funding programs. The building market in many European countries is characterized by lower activity than normal and increased competition. The civil segment typically provides stability over the cycle, and we have strengthened our outlook for the civil market in Norway based on expected robust spending in the infrastructure, energy and water sectors.

Residential Development

We are expecting volumes in the Nordic housing market to remain subdued, compared to historical levels. Buyers are adapting to higher costs of living following increased interest rates and inflation. Interest-rate cuts over the coming 12 months could however stimulate the market. For Central Europe the market is expected to remain good with stable activity among homebuyers.

Commercial Property Development

The real estate investor market remains hesitant with few active buyers in the core office segment. Lack of comparable transactions creates uncertainty in property valuations and activity is expected to remain lower than historic averages as the market adapts to a higher interest rate environment. Leasing markets have stabilized in the Nordics and Central Europe while the US market continues to observe a lower return-to-office rate. Flight to quality is a clear trend, with tenants focusing on flexible, sustainable premises in good locations to attract and retain employees.

October-December 2023:

Revenue in the Residential Development business stream amounted to SEK 1,867 M (784). Volumes have been lower than normal and homebuyers remain hesitant following interest rate rises and overall macroeconomic uncertainty. Operating income for the business stream amounted to SEK -502 M (-16), significantly impacted by property asset impairment charges of SEK -469 M as a result of weak property markets. The majority of these were made in the low-cost segment BoKlok, whose customer group has had the greatest reduction of purchasing power. In addition, the operating loss in BoKlok was SEK -103 M, which impacts all geographical segments.

January-December 2023:

Revenue for the full year was impacted by low sales volumes and amounted to SEK 5,013 M (8,751). Operating income amounted to SEK -1,262 M (891). Property asset and goodwill impairments, totaling SEK -1,117 M negatively impacted the result for the full year. In addition, operating loss in BoKlok, which is undergoing a turnaround program, impacted the result for the year by SEK -552 M.

Of these, 52 percent (September 30, 2023: 54) were sold. The number of completed unsold homes increased to 549 (September 30, 2023: 387), of which unsold homes in BoKlok totaled 275. The number of unsold completed homes usually increases in times of elevated market uncertainty. Sales volumes reduce and homebuyers prefer to buy closer to completion in order to sell and buy in the same market phase. Sales activities are targeting completed or near-to-be-completed homes. During the quarter 1,058 (475) homes were completed.

Commercial properties, leasing and degree of completion12

Estimated market value at completion for the Commercial Property Development portfolio amounted to SEK 56.2 billion at the end of the fourth quarter, corresponding to an unrealized gain of SEK 5.7 billion. Activity in the transaction market is low and we have made a thorough review of assessed market values to reflect the current market situation, reducing surplus values in the fourth quarter by SEK 1.6 billion. Total impairment charges and surplus value reduction in the quarter amounted to SEK 3.0 billion, which corresponds to 5.3 percent of portfolio market value at completion.

During the fourth quarter, three new projects were started and two projects were completed. Nine projects were handed over to buyers, of which seven were handed over to external parties resulting in a positive cash flow of SEK 3.5 billion.

At the end of the quarter, 23 projects with a total leaseable area of 499,000 sq m were ongoing. Of these, 17 were commercial office properties and six were residential rental. The commercial properties were on average 41 percent leased and had a degree of completion of 57 percent. The portfolio of completed projects includes 22 properties with a total leaseable area of 406,000 sq m. The portfolio was 74 percent let by the end of the quarter.

Fourth-quarter leasing came in at 63,000 sq m (42,000). For the full year, new lease agreements have been signed for 213,000 sq m (146,000), strengthened by improved activity in Central Europe.

Accumulated eliminations of intra-Group Construction profits amounted to SEK -507 M, reducing the carrying amount for current asset properties in Commercial Property Development. These eliminations are released at the Group level as each project is divested.

1 Starting this year, all residential rental projects are reported in the Commercial Property Development stream. The comparable period, including rolling 12 months, has been restated to reflect this reallocation.

Anders Danielsson

President and Chief Executive Officer

This year-end report has not been subject to a review by the company's auditors.

Accounting Principles

For the Group, this year-end report has been prepared in compliance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting, the Annual Accounts Act and the Securities Market Act. The same accounting policies and methods of computation are followed in the interim financial statements as compared with the most recent annual financial statements. For the Parent Company, the year-end report has been prepared in compliance with the Annual Accounts Act, the Securities Market Act, and Swedish Financial Reporting Board's Recommendation RFR 2.

Changes in the consolidated cash flow statements

As a result of a review of the consolidated cash flow statements, changes have been made to the presentation and classification of items in the consolidated cash flow statements from the fourth quarter of 2023. The cash flow statement pursuant to IAS 7 and the consolidated operating cash flow statement have both been amended and comparative periods restated.

The consolidated cash flow statement pursuant to IAS 7 reports interest and dividends received under investing activities, whereas previously, interest received was reported under financing activities and dividends received under operating activities. All interest paid is reported under financing activities, including capitalized interest, which was previously reported under operating activities as change in working capital.

Taxes paid are only reported under operating activities, and are no longer reported under investing or financing activities. The above entails a change to established practice in Sweden.

All taxes paid are reported under business operations in the consolidated operating cash flow statement and are no longer reported under financing activities.

Segment and IFRS reporting

Skanska's business streams Construction, Residential Development, Commercial Property Development and Investment Properties represent the Group's operating segments. Tables in this report that refer to segment reporting are shown with a shaded background. In certain cases, the segment reporting differs from the consolidated results presented in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, IFRS.

Construction includes both building construction and civil construction. Revenue and earnings are reported over time for both segment and IFRS reporting.

Residential Development develops residential projects for immediate sale. Homes are adapted to selected customer categories. The units are responsible for planning and selling the projects. The related construction assignments are performed by Skanska's construction units in the Construction segment in each market. In the segment reporting, Residential Development recognizes revenue and earnings when contracts are signed for the sale of homes. In the IFRS reporting, revenue is instead recognized when the buyer takes possession of the home.

Commercial Property Development initiates, develops, leases and divests commercial property projects. In most markets the construction assignments are performed by Skanska's Construction segment. In the segment reporting, Commercial Property Development recognizes revenue and earnings when contracts are signed for the sale of the properties. In the IFRS reporting, revenue is instead recognized when the buyer takes possession of the property.

Investment Properties owns properties for the purpose of earning rentals and for capital appreciation. Rental revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Change in value on investment properties is recognized each quarter both according to segment reporting and IFRS.

Joint ventures are reported under the proportional method in the segment reporting of Residential Development, whereas all other streams/ operating segments apply the equity method.

Intra-Group pricing between operating segments occurs on market terms.

The parent company in a Swedish group prepares its accounts in compliance with the Swedish Financial Reporting Board's Recommendation RFR 2 Accounting for Legal Entities ("RFR 2"). According to RFR 2, the annual accounts of the legal entity must apply IFRS as far as this is possible within the framework of the Annual Accounts Act and considering the connection between accounting and taxation.

News

As of 2023, residential rental projects in Sweden have been reallocated and included in the multi-family rental portfolio in the Commercial Property Development business stream. Historical financial information from 2021 and 2022 has been restated to reflect this reallocation.
