JOACHIM HALLENGREN, PRESIDENT AND CEO
"We have a diversified offering, a broad geographical footprint, a clear focus on affordable and a strong financial position."
The third quarter was another strong quarter with good operating profit and increased number of sold units. Despite that we recognised more units for profit than last year, net sales slightly decreased. This is mainly due to the fact that a larger part of the units recognised for profit came from St. Petersburg at a lower average price, but also that we recognised more smaller units in Sweden during the quarter. Operating profit was SEK 218 M (228), resulting in an improved operating margin of 10.2 (9.8) per cent. Profit from land sales of SEK 65 M (7) was included in operating profit. Cash flow before financing improved year-on-year.
I am pleased that we sold more units compared to last year. On our largest markets in Sweden and Germany, we sold 190 (91) and 429 (347) housing units respectively. Sales to investors remained strong in the quarter, and we completed our first investor deal in Norway. It is also pleasing that we are continuing to see the results of our focus on the investor business, which is growing on existing and new markets. There is a high demand for housing units from consumers and investors. In Sweden, we perceive continued good demand for housing, even if the market slowed slightly in the quarter. In Germany, the market remained stable with healthy price development and strong demand from consumers and investors.
Sales in Denmark-Norway were continued stable, and prices increased in the Copenhagen region. In Finland, sales decreased as a result of few housing units up for sale, although the market remained good with slightly higher prices. In St. Petersburg, sales increased while the market remained awaiting.
Growth on the German market, where we are well positioned, is a key part of our strategy. Housing starts increased to 333 (270) in Germany, and the number of housing units in production reached 3,130 (2,464) at the end of the quarter. The number of building rights also increased year-on-year. The investments we have made and continue to make in Germany are creating favourable prospects for the future. Calculations show that some 400,000 new residentials annually need to be constructed in Germany over the coming ten-year period.
In Gothenburg, we bought land in Södra Änggården, which the Municipality of Gothenburg has designated as a prioritised development area. The investor market in Finland is strong, and we sold two rental projects in Espoo comprising 78 and 119 rental apartments in the quarter. We increased our presence in Bergen and acquired land for the construction of some
300 housing units. In Germany, we sold a project of 61 rental apartments. In Sweden, we have started sales of 70 apartments in Kristinebergs Slottspark, a project that has attracted considerable interest and is set to become a unique quarter in the heart of the city.
Bonava is present on multiple markets, and our broad geographical footprint enables us to focus on those markets generating the highest returns. But it is not just about developing homes in the right locations, but also about developing the right kind of housing that meet the market's needs. We are convinced that more affordable housing are needed on our markets. To achieve this, we need to work more efficiently and smarter, and I am confident that alongside Bonava's more than 1,700 staff across our various markets, I do my utmost to achieve this every day. We have a diversified offering, a broad geographical footprint, a clear focus on affordable and a strong financial position. With that, I am confident about the future, and our ability to continue to deliver affordable housing and vibrant neighbourhoods for the many.
Joachim Hallengren, President and CEO
Bonava's origins are within the construction group NCC, and it has a long history of developing housing and vibrant neighbourhoods. We have been active in residential and community development ever since the 1930s, and over the years, we have gradually sharpened our focus on residential development.
Our experience and know-how have been gathered from our own projects and acquisitions. In 2009, these operations became an independent business area – NCC Housing. We took another step last year, when we were listed on Nasdaq Stockholm. Our focus is on developing affordable and sustainable
housing for consumers and investors on selected markets where we can utilise our competence effectively and optimise our resources through the whole value chain – from project managing land to finished homes.
We create happy neighbourhoods where people have the highest quality of life
MISSION
We challenge ourselves everyday to change the housing game, creating better homes and lives for the many

Bonava develops and sells homes across 23 regions in eight countries. Bonava's selected geographical markets are Sweden, Germany, Finland, Denmark, Norway, St. Petersburg, Estonia and Latvia. Bonava focuses on major city regions in pronounced growth and with stable local labour markets,
which generates demand for new housing over time.
We develop land into affordable and sustainable neighbourhoods, with housing projects that are adapted to our customers' wants and needs, as well as the unique conditions in each location. Bonava provides
multi-family housing and single-family housing, and develops homes for consumers and investors, such as pension funds, alongside municipalities and other stakeholders. That is how Bonava creates new and vibrant neighbourhoods.

Total assets were SEK 20,057 M (18,352). The increase was mainly due to more housing units in ongoing housing production and increased volume of land held for future development.
Net debt amounted to SEK 5,041 M (5,179), of which net debt in Swedish tenant-owner associations and Finnish housing companies amounted to SEK 4,739 M (4,269). Net debt was lower due to positive cash flow. As of 30 June 2017, net debt was SEK 5,311 M.
Return on capital employed was 18.5 (14.6) per cent. The improvement is due to higher operating profit in Sweden and Germany. Capital employed was SEK 11,561 M (10,894) at the end of the period. Capital employed increased due to higher volumes
of ongoing housing production and properties held for future development in Germany and Denmark-Norway. As of 30 June 2017, capital employed was SEK 11,810 M.
As of 30 September 2017, the equity/assets ratio was 29.7 (27.1) per cent. Bonava's equity/assets ratio is affected by seasonal fluctuations as the company's assets normally increase in the first three quarters of the year and then decrease in the fourth quarter, when a large number of housing units are handed over to customers and recognised for profit. The debt/equity ratio was 0.8 (1.0). The debt/equity ratio excluding tenant-owner associations and housing companies was 0.1 (0.2).
Cash flow before financing was SEK 300 M (-32) for the quarter.
Cash flow from operating activities before changes in working capital was down yearon-year. The improved profit was offset by reversal of provisions, decreased positive exchange rate effects and increased tax paid.
Cash flow from sales of housing projects decreased, mainly in Denmark-Norway. Investments in housing projects increased, mainly in Germany, but also in Denmark-Norway.
Cash flow from changes in other working capital was up on the previous year as interest-free receivables decreased in Sweden, and because of higher customer advances in Germany and Finland.
Investments in machinery and equipment in Germany generated decreased cash flow from investing activities year-on-year.
Cash flow before financing was SEK -1,106 M (-893) in the first nine months of the year.
Profit after financial items increased. This was partly offset by higher tax paid.
Land investments and housing units in production increased, mainly to satisfy growing demand in Germany and Denmark-Norway. The number of housing units recognised for profit increased, which increased cash flow from sales of housing development projects, mainly in Sweden, Germany and Finland. Cash flow from other working capital remained unchanged year-on-year. Customer advances increased in Germany, while accrued expenses were down in Sweden, Finland and Denmark-Norway. Cash flow from investing activities improved, as Bonava completed investments in new IT systems in the previous year.
Bonava recognises revenues and earnings from housing sales when sold and completed units are delivered to customers. Bonava's operations are affected by seasonal variations due to cold weather, which means that a majority of housing units is delivered to customers in the fourth quarter. Accordingly, earnings are usually stronger in the fourth quarter than in other quarters, as illustrated on page 10 in the graph 'Estimated completions per quarter'.
In the quarter, 1,009 (659) housing units were sold to consumers and 327 (306) housing units were sold to investors. Sales to consumers increased in the quarter, mainly in Sweden, Germany and St. Petersburg. Only Finland had lower sales in yearon-year terms. The number of production starts increased across all markets with the exception of St. Petersburg. Germany in particular saw increased housing starts.

At the end of the period, there were 7,430 (6,666) housing units for consumers and 2,431 (2,405) housing units for investors in production. As of 30 September 2017, the sales rate was 57 (65) per cent for housing units for consumers and 100 (100) per cent for housing units for investors.

Year-on-year, there are more housing units due to be completed from the fourth quarter of 2017 onwards. Of the total housing units that have not been completed, 26 (31) per cent are expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2017.

Bonava's operations are exposed to several types of risk, both operational and financial. Operational risks impact the Group's daily operations. This type of risk may relate to investments in land, project development, seasonal exposure or assessment of the earnings capacity of projects.
Operational risks are managed as part of the internal corporate governance process established by Bonava. The business units assess and manage risk through operational systems as well as specific processes and procedures.
The Group's financial risks such as interest-rate, currency, refinancing, liquidity and credit risks are managed centrally in order to minimise and control Bonava's risk exposure.
Customer credit risk is managed by the individual business unit. A centralised insurance function is responsible for Group-wide non-life and liability insurance, primarily property and contractor's insurance. This function also conducts preventative risk management alongside the business units, implying cost-efficient and coordinated insurable risks. The risk that Bonava may fail to comply with the company's Code of Conduct is managed by the CSR Compliance function.

Until its IPO (June 2016), Bonava had short-term financing from NCC Treasury AB, so debt amortisation has been recognised gross in the Cash Flow Statement.
This Interim Report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting, the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and recommendation RFR 1 Supplementary Accounting Rules for Groups from the Swedish Financial Reporting Board.
The accounting policies applied in the preparation of this Interim Report apply to all periods and comply with the accounting policies presented in Note 1 Significant accounting policies in Bonava's Annual Report 2016, pages 92-96. These policies are also available at www.bonava.com.
IFRS 15, Revenue Recognition from Contracts with Customers, will be implemented on 1 January 2018 and regulates at what time revenue should be reported. Bonava has carried through an analysis that shows that Bonava will have continued support to report revenues from housing projects to consumers and investors, as well as land sales, at the time when major risks and rewards are transferred to the buyer, normally at the time of handover.
IFRS 16, Leasing, will be implemented from 1 January 2019 and regulates how leasing should be reported. Bonava has initiated an analysis of this standard and how it will affect the group.

1) Activities relating to Bonava becoming an independent company generated costs of SEK 85 M in 2016, of which SEK 55 M relates to head office. No such costs were reported in 2017. For the period Jan–Sep 2016, costs were SEK 62 M for the Group of which SEK 41 M were reported for Head Office.
The following table presents disclosures about the measurement of fair value for financial instruments that are continuously measured at fair value in Bonava's Balance Sheet. The fair value measurement divides assets into three levels. No transfers between levels were made in the period.
Bonava has no financial instruments in levels 1 and 3.
Derivatives in level 2 comprise currency forward contracts used for hedging purposes. The measurement of fair value for currency forward contracts is based on published forward rates in an active market.

The fair value of non-current and current interest-bearing liabilities has been judged not to differ materially from carrying amount. For financial instruments recognised at amortised cost, accounts receivables, other receivables, cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable and other interest-free liabilities, fair value is considered equal to carrying amount.
In the period until 9 June 2016, Bonava constituted the NCC Housing operating segment of NCC AB. After this date, all transactions with NCC have been priced on a commercial basis.
Joint ventures and joint arrangements are categorised as related parties. The Nordstjernan Group and companies in the Axel Johnson Group are also categorised as related parties. Transactions with these parties were not material and have not been specified below.

To the Board of Directors of Bonava AB (publ), corp. ID no. 556928-0380
We have conducted a review of the financial Interim Report of Bonava AB (publ) as of 30 September 2017 and the nine-month period ending on this date. The Board of Directors and CEO are responsible for the preparation and presentation of this Interim Report in accordance with IAS 34 and the Annual Accounts Act. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the Interim Report based on our review.
We have conducted our review in accordance with the International Standard on Review Engagements ISRE 2410, Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity. A review consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and
applying analytical and other review procedures. A review has a different focus and is significantly limited in scope compared to the focus and scope of an audit conducted in accordance with the International Standards on Auditing and generally accepted auditing standards generally.
The procedures performed in a review do not allow us to obtain a level of assurance that would make us aware of all significant matters that might have been identified in an audit. Therefore, the conclusion expressed based on a review does not provide the same level of assurance as a conclusion expressed on the basis of an audit.
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the Interim Report has not been prepared, in all material respects, for the Group in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and for the parent company in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act.
