We are seeing a clear improvement in the housing market, with increased demand and rising household purchasing power. However, the return to a normalised situation will take time. The consumer segment is increasing significantly from a low level, and we are seeing greater interest in investor transactions. The expected low business volumes in the quarter were countered with the previously announced cost-saving measures that have now been implemented. We will have achieved our undertaking of SEK 1 Bn in annual gross savings as of the beginning of January 2025. An improved cash flow for the period has further reduced our interest-bearing net debt.
Reductions in the key interest rates in Europe in 2024 and falling inflationary pressure have gradually bolstered household purchasing power. We are seeing an increase in demand from low levels, but normalisation after nearly three years of extremely challenging conditions for the housing market will take time. Even though the macroeconomic situation in Germany has its challenges, we are seeing rising interest in several of our submarkets there. Berlin, Düsseldorf and Cologne are the drivers behind this positive development we are experiencing. The turnaround in the markets in Sweden and the Baltics is also becoming increasingly evident. There are cautiously positive signs in Finland, but the recovery here will take longer.
During the third quarter, we increased sales to consumers by 48 per cent year-on-year, which is on par with the performance we have seen during the year. The booking situation has continually improved, and the number of sold and reserved housing units increased by 31 per cent during the first nine months of the year, compared with the yearearlier period. We are also seeing increased levels of activity in the investor market, and greater possibilities for concluding additional investor transactions during the year.
As expected, a relatively low volume of 337 (719) housing units was recognised in profit in the third quarter, and net sales totalled SEK 1.4 Bn (2.8). The operating gross margin increased to 10.0 per cent (7.4) and the operating EBIT margin was -1.3 per cent (1.1). The low volume of housing units recognised in profit was countered by reduced indirect productions costs and overheads, which is why we are able to report only a minor operating loss for the quarter. A significant portion of the German restructuring was carried out during the period, which meant that overheads have been reduced by 25 per cent on a yearly basis. This means that we will achieve the annual gross savings of SEK 1 Bn for the Group, with full impact on earnings as of January 2025.
Operating cash flow improved significantly to SEK 489 M (188), which enabled a reduction in net debt to SEK 3.5 Bn (6.3). The higher demand supported an increase in customer advances, and allowed us to continue reducing the stock of completed unsold housing units to 330 from 505 at the start of the year. The optimisation of the building rights portfolio continued direct sales as well as cooperation agreements entered into with other leading developers, which is why capital that tied up in building rights is being reduced in favour of increased investments in value-creating production starts.

In the third quarter, we increased the number of production starts to 411 (388) housing units, with an increase of 52 per cent in consumer project starts. The production starts took place in all markets, with the bulk in Germany. At the end of the third quarter, the sales value of housing units sold in projects started amounted to approximately SEK 6.7 Bn. Our focus remains on starting projects with the right conditions for increasing business volumes and profitability. We believe the outlook is good for increasing the number of starts in the fourth quarter and in 2025.
Access to attractive land to build housing units on is crucial for our business. Bonava has 27,500 building rights in prime locations that are routinely optimised to support our long-term business plan. The building rights portfolio is assessed on a yearly basis, in the third quarter. The surplus value of existing building rights, totalled SEK 4.6 Bn (3.7) at 30 September.
We are now entering the fourth quarter, which is the most intensive period of the year in terms of deliveries and starts. Our efforts over the last year have been focused on adjusting our operations to the new market conditions. With an increased degree of decentralisation, we are placing ourselves closer to customers and markets, enabling us to react more quickly to local changes. Now, we are ready to increase the number of production starts in order to meet customer demand for new homes. We work every day to create more happy neighbourhoods.

As expected, fewer housing units were delivered than in the previous year, which means that net sales decreased to SEK 1,431 M (2,765). During the period, 337 (535) housing units for consumers and no (184) housing units for investors were recognised in profit. The average price per housing unit recognised in profit amounted to SEK 3.5 M (3.8). One of the reasons that the average price was lower compared to the preceding year is that the share of sales was higher in the Baltics, where the average prices tend to be lower.
Translation of foreign currencies had no effect on sales compared with the year-earlier period.
Operating gross profit amounted to SEK 143 M (205) and the operating gross margin for the quarter strengthened to 10.0 per cent (7.4).
Operating EBIT was SEK -19 M (30) and the operating EBIT margin was -1.3 per cent (1.1). The decrease in operating EBIT is attributable primarily to the low business volume, which was not sufficient to cover overheads.
Exchange rate fluctuations had a positive impact of SEK 1 M on EBIT.
EBIT according to IFRS totalled SEK -258 M (-1,213). The difference compared with operating EBIT was SEK -239 M (-1,243) and consists primarily of impairment of properties held for future development in conjunction with the valuation conducted during the period. Total operating adjustments for the quarter were SEK -114 M for Germany, SEK -95 M for Sweden and SEK -30 M for Finland. The comparative period was charged with SEK -1,243 M in items affecting comparability pertaining to impairment and restructuring. The impairments that were recognised did not have any impact on cash flow.
Net financial items totalled SEK -132 M (-145) with higher rates compared to the year-earlier quarter partially offsetting the effect of reduced net debt.
Loss before tax for the quarter was SEK -391 M (-1,358). Tax on loss for the quarter was SEK -4 M (-20), corresponding to a tax rate of -1 per cent (-1). The low tax rate was attributable to deferred tax not being reported, either for deficits generated in 2024 or in the comparative period.
Profit for the period for continuing operations amounted to SEK -394 M (-1,377).
Net sales amounted to SEK 5,050 M (8,281). During the period, 1,078 (1,519) housing units for consumers and 216 (1,006) housing units for investors were recognised in profit. The average price per housing unit recognised in profit amounted to SEK 3.5 M (3.3).
Translation of foreign currencies had a negative effect of SEK 22 M compared with the year-earlier period.
Operating gross profit amounted to SEK 486 M (748) and the operating gross margin for the period was 9.6 per cent (9.0). Operating EBIT was SEK 1 M (197) and the operating EBIT margin
was 0.0 per cent (2.4). Exchange rate fluctuations did not have an impact on EBIT compared with the year-earlier period.
EBIT according to IFRS was SEK -266 M (-1,046). The difference compared with operating EBIT consists primarily of impairment of properties held for future development. Total operating adjustments totalled SEK -123 M for Sweden, SEK -114 M for Germany and SEK - 30 M for Finland. In the comparative period, SEK -1,243 M pertaining to impairments and restructuring was classified as items affecting comparability.
Net financial items totalled SEK -401 M (-386) with higher interest rates partially offsetting the effect of reduced net debt.
Loss before tax for the period was SEK -667 M (-1,432). Tax on profit for the period was SEK -10 M (0), corresponding to a tax rate of -1 per cent (0). The low tax rate was attributable to deferred tax not being reported, either for deficits generated in 2024 or in the comparative period.
Loss for the period for continuing operations amounted to SEK -677 M (-1,432).
* Beginning with the second quarter of 2024, monitoring of the segments has partially been changed, which is why Bonava recognises an operating gross profit and operating EBIT (earnings by segment), which corresponds to the earnings that form the basis of the monitoring of each segment in the Group. The operating EBIT comprises EBIT before items affecting comparability adjusted for impairment, sales of land, items related to restructuring and cost for M&A.
The figures that are based on segment reporting are marked in brown in this report. A bridge between operating EBIT and EBIT is found in Note 2.
The total number of building rights at the end of the period was 27,500 (28,600). This decrease is attributable to housing starts and divestments of non-strategic building rights. Of the total number of building rights at the end of the period 7,200 (9,600) were recognised off the balance sheet. As of the balance sheet date, investment commitments for building rights off the balance sheet totalled SEK 1.4 Bn, of which SEK 0.2 Bn is expected to be settled in 2024. Refer further to Note 7.
The building rights are recognised as current assets and measured at the lower of cost and market value, item by item. During the third quarter of 2024, the building rights portfolio was assessed through both external valuations and internally by assessing the discounted future cash flows (DCF) from projects to be started for development properties. The external valuations covered approx. 30 per cent of the portfolio and furthermore the internal model was checked externally regarding the model and yield requirements. In cases when an external valuation has been obtained for an item, Bonava has applied the lowest of the external value and the internally calculated DCF. The valuation has resulted in impairments of SEK 143 M, corresponding to 1 per cent of the assessed value of the portfolio.
The assessed value of the portfolio, is SEK 11.9 Bn. This corresponds to a surplus value of SEK 4.6 Bn (3.7). In the preceding year's valuation, during the third quarter, the surplus value of the valuation based on Bonavas assessment with external valuations as starting point, totalled SEK 1.2 Bn. The internal valuation done 2023

Estimated completions of ongoing projects, per quarter Consumers Investors

performed in the same way as the valuation in 2024 would have resulted in a surplus value of 3.7 Bn SEK. The increase in the surplus value in the internal assessment from SEK 3.7 Bn to SEK 4.6 Bn is attributable primarily to a lower discount rate.
The number of sold completed housing units not recognised in profit at the end of the period was 51 (44). As of 30 June 2024, this figure was 84.
The number of unsold completed housing units at the end of the period was 330 (371). The value of these housing units totalled SEK 933 M (1,130). As of 30 June 2024, the value was SEK 1,190 M and the number of units was 442, of which 125 were sold during the quarter and 13 housing units were added from projects that were completed during the period.
The number of housing units in ongoing production was 2,964 (4,435) with a sales rate of 54 per cent (65).
The sales value of housing units sold in projects started totalled SEK 6,713 M (10,922), of which SEK 4,051 M (6,558) for consumers and SEK 2,662 M (4,364) for investors.


The upper line of text shows an amended estimate of when the units are expected to be completed, compared with the preceding quarter. The bottom line of text shows the expected time of completion for the units for which production has started during the quarter.

Starting in the second quarter of 2024, Bonava reports a simplified operating cash flow that reflects EBITDA together with net investments and changes in working capital in the balance sheet in accordance with IFRS, without adjustments for exchange-rate changes and other non-cash items. However, the comparative figures produced have been adjusted for the divestments of operations that took place in 2023. A bridge between operating cash flow and the legal cash flow before financing activities is provided in Note 11.
EBITDA totalled SEK -232 M (-1,015) and includes impairment of SEK 216 M (686) that is not included in operating EBITDA.
Net investments totalled SEK 431 M (1,781), with net investments in project operations totalling SEK -143 M compared to net divestments of SEK 1,014 M in the preceding year. Net changes in land amounted to SEK 608 M (605), with SEK 216 M (686) of this positive effect being due to recognised impairment. Excluding this, net divestments in land totalled SEK 392 M for the period, which is attributable primarily to a small number of strategic sales of properties held for future development.
The change in working capital totalled SEK 290 M (-578), with an increase in customer advances owing to higher sales in Germany contributing SEK 486 M (-350).
In total, the operating cash flow strengthened during the quarter, amounting to SEK 489 M (188).
Cash flow before financing activities was SEK 335 M (197). The negative discrepancy compared with the operating cash flow is attributable primarily to financial items of SEK -124 M (-165). Refer to Note 11 for the bridge between operating cash flow and legal cash flow.
EBITDA totalled SEK -183 M (-737) and includes impairment of SEK 244 M (686) that is not included in operating EBITDA.
Net investments totalled SEK 1,081 M (1,051), with net divestments in project operations of SEK 240 M being significantly lower than the SEK 1,506 M that was recognised in the preceding year. Net changes in land amounted to SEK 887 M (-463), with SEK 244 M (686) of this effect being due to recognised impairment. Excluding this, net divestments in land totalled SEK 643 M for the period, which is attributable primarily to a small number of strategic sales of properties held for future development.
The change in working capital totalled SEK 103 M (-785), with an increase in customer advances contributing SEK 681 M (164).
In total, the operating cash flow strengthened during the period, amounting to SEK 1,001 M (-470).
Cash flow before financing activities was SEK 160 M (-223), with the negative discrepancy being attributable primarily to financial items of SEK -402 M (-415) and changes in project financing of SEK -331 M (- 352). The preceding year also included a positive effect from the sale of the operations in Norway.


Bonava's objective is to achieve a cost-efficient capital structure and a good credit rating, taking into account the financing needs of the operation and securing future acquisitions. The Parent Company finances the operation mainly through a syndicated credit agreement and bonds. When monitoring its capital structure, Bonava uses key measures including the current and forecast equity/assets ratio, liquidity, and net project asset value.
Net debt amounted to SEK 3,491 M (6,305). As of 30 June 2024, net debt was SEK 3,823 M. The decrease during the quarter was due to a positive cash flow from operations. Cash and cash equivalents amounted to SEK 741 M and unutilized credits amounted to SEK 933 M. Refer further to Note 4. Exchange rate fluctuations impacted net debt by SEK -89 M compared with 30 September 2023, and by SEK - 41 M compared with 30 June 2024.
The equity/assets ratio was 38.2 per cent (27.9). As of 30 June 2024, the equity/assets ratio was 38.1 per cent. Bonava's target is for the equity/assets ratio not to fall below 30 per cent.
To ensure control of financial risk, Bonava's target is for the Group's net project asset value to exceed net debt (excluding leases). Net project asset value is defined as the carrying amounts of ongoing housing projects, completed housing units and investment properties less customer advances. As of the balance sheet date, the ratio between net project asset value to net debt excluding leasing was 1.4, and the target has therefore been met.
At the end of the period, the average fixed-rate term was 0.2 years (0.2), excluding tenant-owner associations/limited liability companies, and the average interest rate was 8.2 per cent (6.8). The maturity rate of tied-up capital for liabilities to credit institutions and investors was 1.9 years at the end of the period.

Bonava has a credit agreement totalling EUR 398 M that matures on 1 February 2027. The agreement, which was signed on 1 February of this year, encompasses credits and a revolving credit facility (RCF) with contractual amortisations starting in December 2024. Credits under this agreement can be drawn in EUR, SEK and NOK and are divided between fixed-term tranches and an RCF that can be utilised as needed during the tenor of the credit.
In February, Bonava also conducted a fully underwritten preferential rights issue, which raised SEK 1,050 M less issue expenses for the company. In the first quarter of 2024, the terms and conditions were also updated for the bond loan, which at the same time was extended to March 2027. At the balance sheet date, the bond loan totalled SEK 960 M.
Bonava's syndicated credit agreements include two covenants. The first is that EBIT, with certain contractual adjustments, must exceed determined levels, which vary for each quarter. The other is a level for the lowest level of available liquidity that the Group is to maintain in the form of cash on hand or available credits. Both covenants had been fulfilled as of the balance sheet date.
Since 2020 Bonava has had a green financing framework, through which the company can issue bond loans and raise loans to fund sustainable residential development with the aim of promoting positive environmental effects. Bonava has issued a green bond loan that is listed on the Nasdaq Sustainable Bond List. Green loans amounted to SEK 2,542 M (3,097).
The table below specifies the Group's external financing. The outstanding amount of the green bond was SEK 960 M. The syndicated credits will be repaid as agreed during the period from December 2024 to March 2027. Unutilised amounts of the syndicated RCF as of the reporting date amounted to SEK 933 M.
In addition to the above, there are unutilised contractual credit frames for projects in Swedish tenant-owner associations and Finnish housing companies totalling SEK 82 M.


Germany is Bonava's largest market, with operations in the major city regions of Berlin and Hamburg as well as the Baltic Sea, Saxony, Rhein-Ruhr, Cologne/Bonn, Rhein-Main and Rhein-Neckar/Stuttgart. We offer apartments and single-family homes to consumers, and rental housing projects to investors.

There is still a shortage of homes in Germany, and the German government estimates that 400,000 housing units will need to be built yearly. The issue is high on the political agenda, and the offering of new housing units is low. Despite the existing macroeconomic challenges in Germany, there are positive signs of increasingly favourable conditions in the regions and segments where Bonava is pursuing residential development.
Net sales decreased year-on-year to SEK 813 M (1,882), which is attributable to a lower number of housing units being delivered. During the quarter, 153 (338) housing units for consumers and no (55) housing units for investors were recognized in profit. Both housing units sold and housing starts are on par with the preceding year, and 89 housing units for investors were started during the quarter.
The operating gross margin improved to 13.6 per cent (12.3) despite the significantly lower business volume, which is attributable to an increase in project margins and a decrease in indirect costs.
Net sales decreased year-on-year to SEK 3,119 M (4,129), which is attributable to a lower number of housing units being delivered. The operating gross margin improved to 11.3 per cent (10.9), which is attributable to the mix in housing units delivered.
Operating EBIT totalled SEK 163 M (242) with an operating EBIT margin of 5.2 per cent (5.9), with the implemented restructuring beginning to have an increasing effect in the form of lower selling and administrative expenses.
| to an increase in project margins and a decrease in indirect costs. Operating EBIT totalled SEK 45 M (157) with an operating EBIT margin of 5.5 per cent (8.3), with the implemented restructuring beginning to have an increasingly greater effect in the form of lower selling and administrative expenses in the quarter. The restructuring is proceeding as planned, and we are seeing a reduction in these costs in 2024 with full effect beginning in 2025. |

In Sweden, Bonava also offers apartments and single-family homes to consumers in Stockholm, Gothenburg, Linköping, Uppsala and Umeå. We offer rental housing projects to investors all over Sweden.

The housing market in recent years has been under pressure from the high interest-rate scenario that has made customers cautious, with lower sales levels and fewer production starts as a result. The third quarter continued to display higher levels of activity among customers, a slight improvement in the interest-rate situation and more stable price levels, with a significantly more positive sentiment among customers. Sales increased, but remain at low levels.
Net sales increased year-on-year to SEK 413 M (290). Net sales to consumers decreased, which is attributable to a lower number of housing units delivered. During the quarter, 57 (77) housing units for consumers and no (none) housing units for investors were recognised in profit. The increase in total net sales is attributable primarily to a small number of strategic sales of properties held for future development.
Housing units sold increased somewhat year-on-year and 23 housing units for consumers were started during the quarter, compared with none in the preceding year.
Net sales decreased year-on-year to SEK 942 M (1,827), which is attributable to a lower number of housing units delivered to consumers and investors.
The operating gross margin was 4.0 per cent (6.9). The low margin for the period is a result of lower margins in housing units recognised in profit and sales of land. The gross margin for the preceding year was charged with risk provisions and capital losses of SEK -96 M.
Operating EBIT amounted to SEK -49 M (17) with an operating EBIT margin of -5.2 per cent (0.9).

In Finland, Bonava is active in regions of Helsinki, Tampere and Turku. We offer apartments for consumers and rental housing projects for investors.

The housing market is concentrated primarily to the metropolitan regions with the largest population growth and expanded infrastructure: Helsinki, Tampere and Turku. The housing market in Finland remains impacted by higher interest rates, inflation, and low levels of customer activity but the macroeconomic forecast for the end of 2024 is expected to be neutral. The interest-rate trend is expected to support demand, and real incomes are expected to increase more than consumption during the year. Supply in the housing market remains greater than demand.
Net sales decreased year-on-year to SEK 27 M (480), which was attributable to a lower number of housing units delivered. During the quarter, 8 (40) housing units for consumers and no (129) housing units for investors were recognised in profit. Housing units sold are on par with the preceding year, and 29 housing units for consumers were started during the period, which is the first production start in Finland in two years.
Net sales decreased year-on-year to SEK 565 M (1,885), which was attributable to a lower number of housing units delivered.
The operating gross margin decreased to 6.6 per cent (6.7) year-onyear despite improved project margins, due to lower volumes that did not cover indirect costs.
Operating EBIT amounted to SEK -37 M (62) with an operating EBIT margin of -6.6 per cent (3.3).
| The operating gross margin decreased to -24.1 per cent (3.5) despite improved project margins, due to lower volumes that did not cover indirect costs. Operating EBIT amounted to SEK -33 M (-3) with an operating EBIT margin of -123.9 per cent (-0.6). The low business volume meant that overheads could not be covered, which is why Finland reported negative earnings for the period. |

The Baltics segment comprises the capital cities of Tallinn, Estonia; Riga, Latvia; and Vilnius in Lithuania. The offering primarily consists of apartments for consumers, which are supplemented by rental housing projects for investors.

The markets in all three Baltic capitals are growing economies. The low standard of the existing housing stock combined with growing demand for rental housing presents opportunities to build and manage them. The favourable market conditions in the Baltic markets remain, with a low level of unemployment and a lack of supply. The prices for new housing units are stable in all markets and sales are gradually improving, but we noted higher levels of activity in Latvia and Estonia compared with Lithuania.
Net sales amounted to SEK 178 M (116). During the quarter, 119 (80) housing units for consumers and no (none) housing units for investors were recognised in profit. Housing units sold increased to 152 (70), while production starts were on par with the preceding year.
Net sales decreased year-on-year to SEK 423 M (438), which is attributable to fewer housing units being delivered to consumers.
The operating gross margin decreased slightly to 13.8 per cent (14.7) due to certain selective price adjustments.

Stockholm, 24 October 2024 Bonava AB (publ)
Peter Wallin President and CEO
We build more than homes – we create happy neighbourhoods for the many. Bonava builds homes and neighbourhoods based on a genuine understanding of our customers' needs and driving forces. Our sustainability agenda gives us a stable foundation to work from.
Confronting climate change is one of the company's strategic goals. Bonava aims for a 50 per cent reduction in its direct and indirect GHG emissions by 2030, which has been validated by the Science Based Targets initiative. To achieve these climate targets, Bonava is implementing a number of tactical measures. Firstly, Bonava will measure specific emissions at the project level, which is why in 2023 the decision was made to produce life cycle assessments (LCAs) for all projects completed in 2024. We thus switch from basing our emissions on the cost of goods and services purchased to actual emissions. Using life cycle assessments, Bonava can analyse and compare how various materials and planning choices in each project impact not only costs, but also kg CO2e per square metre. The external adviser Carbon Trust recently reviewed the LCAs of the business units in order to strengthen both quality and methodology. Secondly, Bonava is updating the company's climate base year to 2025, which is then based on the LCAs. A third measure that the Executive Management Group has decided on is for all business units to have adopted emissions plans by 2026 to deliver on the climate targets.
The climate impact of the construction and property industry is significant, and developing housing units in line with the international climate targets has become increasingly important to customers and investors. Environmental respect must therefore be embedded into our entire procedure when creating new homes. We have climate targets that have been validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), and to reduce our environmental and climate impact across the life cycle we focus on the sustainable use of land and the development of resource-efficient housing units, with good energy efficiency and low water
We always focus on our customers, employees, suppliers and the entire neighbourhood in our projects – from planning to completion.
Our culture is always people-centric. Our efforts are based on our Group-wide framework: our "People strategy". This framework includes our values and leadership principles, and is based on how we are to work on health and safety, a value-driven workplace, and diversity in order to deliver on our Group-wide business strategy. Our goal is a safe and healthy workplace for everyone, everywhere, every day, with a halving of serious incidents by 2026 compared with the 2022 level.
Development of housing units and residential districts is a central component of every community and maintaining trusting relationships with many different stakeholders. Good governance

consumption. Where previously undeveloped land is claimed, we work to protect biodiversity and other ecological values.
Where needed, we remediate land to render it suitable for building homes. To optimise the use of materials and other resources throughout the life cycle, we endeavour to attain a circular production model with as few virgin production raw materials and as little waste as possible. We also focus on using the right materials for healthy homes with as few materials as possible that are hazardous to the environment and to health. Ecolabelled materials comprise an excellent tool for ensuring sound homes. To package our sustainability offering in relation to customers, investors and financiers, we use the relevant sustainability labelling and certification.
is a condition for achieving the best results, and there is an expectation among all our stakeholders that our operations are to be carried out with a high level of business ethics and good transparency.
Our efforts with human rights, safe working conditions, environmental protection and anti-corruption are based on the fundamental principles of the UN Global Compact, and we set the same requirements for our suppliers as we do for ourselves. A long-term perspective and mutual learning with our suppliers are also crucial to our strategy and to achieving several of our targets, particularly our climate targets and the targets for health and safety. To be a reliable business partner, we are transparent and openly report on how we comply with the universal principles and promote the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
For everyone, everywhere, every day, with a halving of serious incidents by 2026 compared with the 2022 level.
Employee engagement in line with the top 10 per cent of the best-performing companies.
Reduced climate impact in line with our climate targets validated by SBTi for a level of 1.5 degrees C.

This Interim Report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting, recommendation RFR 1 Supplementary Accounting Rules for Groups from the Swedish Financial Reporting Board, and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. This Interim Report covers pages 1–26, and pages 1–14 are thereby an integrated part of this financial report. 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 2023 Annual Report, pages 67–70. The Annual Report is available at bonava.com.
As of 1 January 2024, additional changes to IAS 1 concerning classification of liabilities as either short or long-term in the statement of financial position has entered force. IASB has also clarified that the terms of loans that a company must meet after the balance sheet date do not affect whether liabilities are to be classified as short or long-term. With this change, however, disclosure requirements are being added concerning terms of loans that must be fulfilled within 12 months of the end of the reporting period in order for the liabilities not to fall due for payment. Refer to Note 4 for further information.
Beginning with the second quarter of 2024, monitoring of the segments has partially been changed, which is why Bonava recognises an operating gross profit and EBIT (earnings by segment), which corresponds to the earnings that form the basis of the monitoring of each segment in the Group. The operating EBIT comprises EBIT before items affecting comparability adjusted for impairment, sales of land, items related to restructuring and cost for M&A. The figures that are based on segment reporting are marked in brown in this report.
A bridge between operating EBIT and EBIT is found in Note 2 Reporting of operating segments. No corrections have been made to the comparative figures, which thereby correspond to EBIT before items affecting comparability.
Bonava also recognises an operating cash flow that is based on IFRS reporting. The operating cash flow corresponds to EBITDA adjusted for net investments in fixed assets, properties held for future development, ongoing housing projects and completed housing units as well as changes in working capital on the balance sheet according to IFRS, excluding adjustments for exchange-rate changes and other non-cash items. However, the comparative figures produced have been adjusted for the divestments of operations that took place in 2023. A bridge between operating and legal cash flow can be found in note 11.
The valuation model for building rights that Bonava applies is a valuation model where cash flows from projects to be started for development properties are valued through a discounted cash flow approach. The assessed risk of the cash flows is taken into consideration by including risk provisions and also an assessment is made regarding where in the project cycle a project is. Based on the assessed risk in each project, a discount rate is applied which reflects this risk. In the valuation conducted in 2024 the applied discount rates (unlevered) varied between 8.4 and 11.5 (12.5) per cent with an average unlevered discount rate of 9.2 per cent.

The fair value of non-current and current interest-bearing liabilities differs only marginally from the carrying amount and is therefore not recognised separately in this interim report. For financial instruments recognised at amortised cost, the carrying amount of accounts receivable, other receivables, cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable and other interest-free liabilities is considered equal to the fair value.
Investment properties are measured at fair value in accordance with IAS 40. At the balance sheet date, fair value was deemed to correspond to the carrying amount, which is why no unrealised change in value was recognised. Classification is at level 3 according to IFRS 13.

Property mortgages consist of collateral on behalf of Finnish housing companies and Swedish tenant-owner associations.
Counter guarantees pertaining to guarantees that constitute collateral for amounts paid to tenant-owner associations formed by Bonava Sverige AB comprise SEK 600 M (600). Deposit guarantees are valid until one year after the final acquisition cost of the tenantowner association's building has been established. Bonava AB's commitment is limited to SEK 600 M.
As part of its financing from credit institutions and Bonava's green bond, the Group has pledged shares in subsidiaries and material receivables (with the associated assets) and surety and guarantee obligations as collateral. Some intra-Group receivables have also been pledged. These have been eliminated in the Group.
The portion of Bonava's preferential rights issue that was not covered by subscription commitments were underwritten by Nordstjernan in addition to its subscription commitment. Underwriting remuneration of 2 per cent for the guarantee commitment, corresponding to SEK 13.8 M, was paid in the first quarter of 2024.

The Parent Company comprises the operations of Bonava AB (publ). Net sales for the company totalled SEK 119 M (167). Profit after financial items was SEK 111 M (-1,542). The comparative period was negatively impacted by the sale of the Norwegian operations in the second quarter of 2023 (SEK -812 M) and in the third quarter 2023 the receivables related to anticipated dividends from the Group's German subsidiary was impaired (SEK -390 M). Furthermore, in the third quarter 2023, a capital contribution of SEK 330 M was paid to the Group company Bonava Sverige AB, and an impairment of participations in Group companies pertaining to the holding in Bonava Sverige AB was recognised in the corresponding amount. In February 2024, Bonava conducted a fully underwritten preferential rights issue that raised SEK 1,050 M less issue expenses for the company. As a result of the rights issue, Bonava AB's share capital increased by SEK 104,580,931 to SEK 538,324,219. For its obligations under the credit facility agreement and bond loan, Bonava has pledged as collateral the shares in the wholly owned subsidiary Bonava Group Holding AB, into which ownership of all the Group's subsidiaries has been gathered through shareholder contributions or noncash issue. Material receivables and some intra-Group receivables have also been pledged for Bonava AB's liabilities under the credit facility agreement. In the third quarter 2024, some of Bonava AB's interest-bearing receivables to Group companies have been re-classified from shortto long-term as a result from changed loan agreements, which is the primary explanation between the shift between fixed and current assets.

We have reviewed the condensed interim financial information (interim report) of Bonava AB (publ )as of 30 September 2024 and the nine-month period then ended. The board of directors and the CEO are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the interim financial information in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim report based on our review.
We conducted our review in accordance with the International Standard on Review Engagements ISRE 2410, Review of Interim Report 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 is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing, ISA, and other generally accepted auditing standards in Sweden. The procedures performed in a review do not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim report is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act, regarding the Group, and with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act, regarding the Parent Company.
