Comments from the CEO

We have had a good start to the year. We are continuing to grow in Germany and the new merged segment St. Petersburg–Baltics reported a strong result. The Swedish market is challenging, and despite increased sales of housing units in the quarter we expect it to take some time before the market heads up again. In the Nordic segment, we have sold more housing units in total with increased profit in year-on-year terms despite a cautious market in Finland.

Demand for housing units remained high and the number of housing units sold increased to 731 (702) in the quarter. Net sales totalled SEK 2,837 M (1,639), an increase of 73 per cent. Operating profit was SEK 165 M (43). We currently have 10,212 (9,583) housing units in production with a good sales rate of 66 (72) per cent.

VARYING DEMAND

Bonava's business model of operating on several geographical markets and a dual focus on consumers and investors enables us to balance the operational risks effectively, but we are not unaffected by market conditions.

In Germany, demand remains positive. However, we are noticing that some projects are at risk of being delayed when planning permission takes longer to receive as a result of the authorities are struggling to keep up with the rapid rate of construction. This delays the reported number of housing units sold as we do not recognise projects as sold until production has started.

On the Swedish market, there is a surplus of new build apartments in some areas and we have reviewed pricing to align with our customers. However, there are also positive examples. We recently started sales of single-family houses in the Ältadalen area south of Stockholm. These housing units were in high demand and sold at good margins. In the Nordic segment, market conditions are challenging in Denmark and Finland, areas where supply outstrips demand. The St. Petersburg–Baltics market is stable with positive demand for Bonava's housing units.

INCREASED PRODUCTIVITY IS KEY

Bonava's ambition is to offer affordable homes for the many, and to do this we need to continuously improve our ways of working. We are managing to build single-family houses efficiently, which benefits both customers and Bonava. In Germany, we are already skilled at efficient construction, which is a major reason behind our success on this market. We are learning valuable lessons from successful projects, and apply these to other types of housing and markets.

I take a positive view of Bonava's long-term progress, but we face challenges on our markets that need to be managed as we go. There are no simple solutions, but we are working methodically to industrialise, modularise and simplify our processes, which will increase our productivity over time.

Market progress

New production of housing units has increased on Bonava's markets in recent years, while favourable macroeconomic and demographic conditions have boosted demand for new production. In the last five years, investments in new production increased by over 25 percent in the EU and total investments amounted to EUR 316 Bn (312) in 20181). More than 90 per cent of Bonava's net sales in 2018 were derived from Germany, Sweden, Finland, Denmark and Norway. Investments on these markets have increased in recent years, and investments in new production totalled EUR 98 Bn (95) on these markets in 2018. In the last five years, investments increased most in Germany, Sweden and Denmark.

PERFORMANCE IN THE QUARTER

Growth on the German housing market continued in the quarter, with stable house prices and positive demand from consumers. The housing market in Sweden was challenging in the quarter, and no improvement in market conditions is expected in the short term. In Finland, the housing market slowed slightly due to a large supply of new built apartments. In the quarter, there was strong demand for housing units from consumers in St. Petersburg–Baltics. Demand from investors remained strong in all segments.

Operational performance

Net sales

Exchange rate fluctuations had a negative impact on operating profit of SEK –1 M in year-on-year terms.

Financial position, investments and cash flow

TOTAL ASSETS

Total assets were SEK 22,865 M (20,498). The increase was primarily due to a higher volume of ongoing housing projects and more completed housing units.

Distribution of assets

NET DEBT

Net debt amounted to SEK 7,031 M (4,939). Swedish tenant-owner associations and Finnish housing companies had a total net debt of SEK 4,881 M (5,416), of which SEK 1,122 M (1,098) related to financing via parent company credit facilities directly attributable to Swedish tenant-owner associations.

Consolidated net debt (prior year net cash) for other operations was SEK 2,150 M (–477).

Net debt was up on the previous year, mainly due to net investments in housing projects in the quarter. As of 31 December 2018, net debt amounted to SEK 5,542 M. Net debt excluding effects from IFRS 16 Leases amounted to SEK 6,638 M. Refer to note 1 and 5 for more information.

Net debt

(12,023) at the end of the period. Capital employed was up as a result of increased volumes in ongoing housing production in all segments with the exception of Sweden, and an increase in completed housing units in Sweden and Nordic. As of 31 December 2018, capital employed amounted to SEK 13,332 M. Excluding the effects of IFRS 16 Leases, capital employed was SEK 14,606 M at the end of the period, and return on capital employed was 13.2 per cent.

EQUITY/ASSETS AND DEBT/EQUITY RATIO

As of 31 March 2019, the equity/assets ratio was 33.1 per cent (33.0). Bonava's equity/assets ratio is affected by seasonal fluctuations as the company's assets and liabilities 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 0.9 (0.7).

CASH FLOW FOR THE QUARTER JANUARY–MARCH

Cash flow before financing was SEK –1,095 M (–774) in the quarter. Cash flow from operating activities before changes in working capital was up in the quarter year-on-year. This was due to increased profit after financial items plus positive exchange rate effects in the quarter. To some extent, this was offset by higher taxes paid.

Cash flow from sales of housing projects increased compared to the corresponding period in the previous year, due to increased number of housing units recognised for profit in all business areas, mainly Nordic and St. Petersburg–Baltics. Investments in housing projects increased in all business areas, mainly Sweden and Nordic.

Cash flow from changes in other working capital was lower because cash flow from customer advances decreased in all business areas with the exception of Sweden. This was offset slightly by increased accounts payable in Germany.

Cash flow before financing

SEASONAL EFFECTS

Bonava recognises revenues and earnings from housing sales when sold and completed housing units are delivered to customers. Bonava's operations are affected by seasonal variations which means that a majority of housing units are delivered to customers in the fourth quarter. Accordingly, earnings and cash flow before financing are usually stronger in the fourth quarter than in other quarters, as illustrated on page 9 in the graphs showing estimated completions per quarter.

SIGNIFICANT RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

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, re financing, liquidity and credit risks are managed centrally by the Group's Treasury Department in order to minimise and control Bonava's risk exposure in accordance with the Finance Policy.

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.

period. For investors, 49 (0) housing units were recognised for profit, with net sales of SEK 99 M (0). The average price per housing unit for investors recognised for profit was SEK 2.0 M (0.0).

Operating profit

Operating profit amounted to SEK 91 M (137). The decrease was mainly due to no land sales being completed in the period; profit from land sales was SEK 52 M in the previous year.

Net sales and operating margin

Capital employed and return on capital employed Capital employed was up slightly on the previous year due to more housing units completed. Return on capital employed decreased year-on-year as a result of the lower operating profit.

MARKET PROGRESS

The housing market in Finland slowed due to a large supply of new apartments available for sale coupled with a weaker outlook for the Finnish economy. In Denmark, the trend turned down slightly with lower sales and increased supply in Bonava's areas. In Norway, progress was stable.

JANUARY–MARCH 2019 Operational performance

Net sales

Net sales amounted to SEK 799 M (349). The increase was due to higher net sales from consumers and investors. In the quarter, 229 (164) housing units for consumers were recognised for profit, with net sales of SEK 584 M (347). The average price per housing unit for consumers recognised for profit was SEK 2.5 (2.1). The increased average price was due to more housing units recognised for profit in Denmark at a high average price.

For investors, 102 (0) housing units were recognised for profit, with net sales of SEK 210 M (0). The average price per housing unit for investors recognised for profit was SEK 2.0 M (0.0).

Sales of land totalled SEK 2 M (0).

Operating profit

Operating profit amounted to SEK 2 M (–47). The increase was due to more housing units for consumers and investors recognised for profit in year-on-year terms.

Capital employed and return on capital employed Capital employed increased year-on-year due to more ongoing housing projects and completed housing units. Return on capital employed increased year-on-year due to improved profit.

Bonava's business model and the agreement structure of housing projects mean that control is transferred to the buyer at the time of handover of the housing unit or project. This means that Bonava fulfills the obligation to transfer the housing unit or project upon handover and recognises revenue and profit from sales of housing projects in full at this point. No revenue is recognised on the basis of forecast sales of housing projects. This applies to both housing units for consumers and investors.

Because Bonava appoints a majority of Board members in tenant-owner associations in Sweden and housing companies in Finland, issues guarantees and provides credit to, or borrowing on behalf of, tenant-owner associations and housing companies, Bonava exercises a controlling influence and therefore consolidates tenant-owner associations and housing companies in full.

Because tenant-owner associations and housing companies are consolidated in full, Bonava's net debt increases, as interest-bearing liabilities attributable to Swedish tenant-owner associations and Finnish housing companies constitute material amounts. See note 3 for more information.

Notes for the Group

NOTE 1 Accounting policies

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, with the exception of IFRS 16 which is described below, apply to all periods and comply with the accounting policies presented in Note 1 Significant accounting policies in Bonava's Annual Report 2018, pages 98–102. The Annual Report is available at www.bonava.com.

IFRS 16 Leases applies from 1 January 2019 and regulates the reporting of lease contracts. All contracts are reported as lease contracts in the consolidated accounts where Bonava essentially has the right to all the economic benefits from the leased asset and where Bonava has the right to control the use of the leased asset.

Lease contracts are reported in the Balance Sheet. The right of use of a leased asset is reported either as current assets (ongoing housing projects) or property, plant and equipment depending on how the leased asset is intended to be used. Bonava reports rental agreements for land as lease contracts when a detailed blueprint has been approved or building permit can no longer be appealed. Before such time, Bonava does not have control of the land and therefore has no rights or obligations relating to the land.

The obligation to pay lease charges is reported as a non-current or current financial liability depending on the duration of the contract. Leasing expenses are reported as amortization/depreciation and interest expenses in the Income Statement.

With regard to completed unsold housing units, Bonava has certain commitments to Swedish tenant-owner associations, Finnish housing companies and other parties relating to payment of membership fees and rent. The intention is to divest these completed unsold

housing units immediately, which means that these commitments are not reported as lease contracts.

Bonava uses the implied interest rate for land lease contracts; for remaining lease contracts Bonava uses the marginal borrowing rate determined by factors such as geographical market and maturity. In connection with the transition to IFRS 16, the non-weighted average marginal borrowing rate was 3.80 per cent.

The term of the contracts is defined in contractual start and end dates. Bonava has essentially chosen not to consider the possibility of extending lease contracts as this is not financially beneficial because the assets are not business-critical or specialised, and other suitable alternatives are judged to be available. In addition, the costs associated with not extending contracts, such as costs of negotiation, relocalization and identifying other appropriate measures are deemed to be immaterial.

Bonava is not party to any financial lease contracts in the capacity of lessor.

See note 5 and the Annual Report for 2018 for more information about the effect of the transition to IFRS 16.

As previously, operating segments in Bonava are based on geographical areas, the nature of the products and services as well as similar revenue streams. The prior segments Germany and Sweden are unchanged while a decision has been made as from 1 January 2019 to consolidate the segments Denmark-Norway and Finland to a new segment called Nordic. The segment St. Petersburg, together with the operations in Estonia and Latvia, form a new segment called St. Petersburg–Baltics. Comparative figures are available at www.bonava.com.

No other changes to IFRS or IFRIC interpretations are expected to have any material impact on Bonava.

NOTE 4 Fair value of financial instruments

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 forwards where the measurement at fair value of currency-forward contracts is based on published forward rates on an active market.

Derivatives 34 5 49
Total assets 34 5 49
Derivatives 17 71 1
Total liabilities 17 71 1

The fair value of non-current and current interest-bearing liabilities does not differ from the 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.

NOTE 5 Leases
-------- --------

As of 31 December 2018, operating lease commitments amounted to SEK 582 M according to the Annual Report. Bonava does not apply the exemption relating to short-term lease contracts, and the longest contracts have a term of 30 years, which means that an average term of 17 years has been applied to the calculation for the settlement of present value of operating lease expenses according to the Annual Report 2018 and the opening balance of lease liabilities according to IFRS 16. The marginal borrowing rate is determined on the basis of geographical market and term; the average interest rate was 3.80% as of 1 January 2019. Bonava's financial lease liabilities as of 31 December 2018 were of minor value. As indicated in the accounting principles, there are no renewal options that can be exercised with reasonable certainty or materially variable index- or price-linked lease payments. The discounted amount thereby amounts to SEK 427 M, corresponding to the lease liability of SEK 427 M reported as of 1 January 2019.
