Comments from the CEO

Market conditions are continuing to improve compared to previous year, but recovery to normal conditions will take time. It is gratifying that the key German market reported stable earnings with increased profitability while it will take time before the Swedish and Finnish market turns. A strong cash flow for the period continued to decrease net debt. We are increasing production starts from a low level, and are seeing many opportunities for gradually increasing production starts in second half of 2024 and 2025.

Gradual improvement in market conditions, but recovery to normal conditions will take time

We have seen an increase in activity levels in the consumer segment across all of our markets, except for the Finnish market. Sweden is the market with the most positive change compared with the preceding year. Germany and the Baltics reported stable sales and improved market sentiment. The volume of investor deals has been historically low but here we are also beginning to see increased activity levels and in the beginning of July we announced that Bonava Germany had finalised its first investor transaction for the year. We have several discussions ongoing, and we expect additional starts in the investor segment during the autumn.

Lower business volume and earnings for the Group – stable in Germany

During the quarter, 600 (1,203) housing units were recognised in profit, with net sales totalling SEK 2.3 Bn (3.6). The operating EBIT margin for the quarter was 1.8 per cent (5.4). The key German market reported stable earnings with increased profitability. The gross margin for the Group was adversely impacted by selective price adjustments in order to free tied-up capital in completed unsold housing units. As expected, we are offsetting lower business volumes with decreased overheads to the greatest extent possible, but indirect production costs that cannot be covered by current project volumes are having an adverse, short-term impact on gross profit and the gross margin. We have lowered our overheads with 24 per cent on an annual basis, which means that we can deliver a positive operating EBIT margin for the full year 2024 despite an expected significantly lowered business volume. Profitability will increase over time when we recognise full effects from cost reductions and increased production starts.

We remain sharply focused on cash flow and on decreasing tied-up capital. During the quarter, we decreased tied-up capital in completed unsold housing units and building rights that were not deemed to be of strategic significance, which further significantly improved the cash flow and reduced our net debt to SEK 3.8 Bn (6.6). The significantly reduced net debt lower our financial costs and gives us favourable conditions for starting projects going forward.

Gradual increase in production starts as sells pick up

Our highest priority is starting projects in order to increase business volumes and profitability going forward, and during the quarter we started 342 (217) housing units. We are seeing many opportunities for increasing production starts during the second half of the year and in 2025. In Sweden, Uppsala, we are starting the first consumer project of the year and there was significant interest from customers, with a good reservation rate of 42 per cent. These reservations are being converted into binding agreements, at which point they will be reported in our sales rate. The total number of housing units sold to consumers, with binding contracts, is in line with the preceding year and we are seeing favourable conditions for a continued rise in sales with an increasingly stronger reservation rate. We are continuing to work actively on our stock of unsold completed housing units, selling 140 units during the quarter – 29 per cent – of the opening balance.

2024 – focus on recovery

When we entered 2024 we had established a bridge to normalised market conditions by securing our long-term financing, and established a significantly lower overhead base. We have seen the market conditions take a turn for the better, and with recent interestrate cuts by both the ECB and the Riksbank, consumer confidence is increasing – which will strengthen the conditions for our business going forward. Our skilled employees and effective organisation remain close to the market and to our customers in order to create attractive customer offerings in new neighbourhoods. We know that there is a great demand for our homes.

APRIL–JUNE 2024

Net sales

Net sales amounted to SEK 2,339 M (3,586), since fewer housing units were recognised in profit, in line with expectations. During the period, 384 (592) housing units for consumers and 216 (611) housing units for investors were recognised in profit. The average price per housing unit recognised in profit amounted to SEK 3.7 M (3.0). The average selling price has been positively impacted by a higher proportion of sales to consumers.

Translation of foreign currencies had a positive effect of SEK 23 M compared with the year-earlier period.

Gross profit

Operating gross profit amounted to SEK 209 M (374) and the operating gross margin was 8.9 per cent (10.4). The decline is a result of lower margins in housing units delivered and indirect production costs that have not been covered by ongoing project volumes which, in the short term, has a negative impact on operating gross profit and operating gross margin. The margin was also impacted during the quarter by selective price adjustments in some projects.

The gross profit amounted to 181 M (374) M. The difference compared to operating gross profit consists of impairment of land in Sweden amounting to SEK -28 M.

EBIT

Operating EBIT totalled SEK 43 M (195) and the operating EBIT margin was 1.8 per cent (5.4). The decrease in operating EBIT was attributable primarily to lower gross profit, which was offset to a certain extent by reduced selling and administrative expenses.

Exchange rate fluctuations had a positive impact of SEK 1 M on EBIT.

EBIT totalled SEK 15 M (195) and includes impairment of land of SEK -28 M in Sweden.

Net financial items, profit/loss before tax, tax and profit/loss for the quarter

Net financial items amounted to SEK -158 M (-148), as a result of higher financing costs.

Loss before tax for the quarter was SEK -143 M (47). Tax on loss for the quarter was SEK -5 M (-10), corresponding to a tax rate of -3 per cent (22). The low tax rate was attributable primarily to deferred tax not being reported for deficits generated in 2024.

Net loss for the period for continuing operations amounted to SEK -148 M (37).

JANUARY–JUNE 2024

Net sales

Net sales amounted to SEK 3,619 M (5,515). During the period, 741 (984) housing units for consumers and 216 (822) housing units for investors were recognised in profit. The average price per housing unit recognised in profit amounted to SEK 3.5 M (3.0).

Translation of foreign currencies had a positive effect of SEK 18 M compared with the year-earlier period.

Gross profit

Operating gross profit amounted to SEK 342 M (543) and the operating gross margin for the period was 9.5 per cent (9.8). The decline is a result of lower margins in housing units delivered and indirect production costs that have not been covered by ongoing project volumes which, in the short term, has a negative impact on operating gross profit and operating gross margin.

Gross profit was 314 M (543) M. The difference compared to operating gross profit consists of impairment of land in Sweden amounting to SEK -28 M.

EBIT

Operating EBIT totalled SEK 20 M (167) and the operating EBIT margin was 0.6 per cent (3.0).

Exchange rate fluctuations strengthened EBIT by SEK 1 M compared with the year-earlier period.

EBIT totalled SEK -8 M (167) and includes impairment of land of SEK -28 M in Sweden.

Net financial items, profit/loss before tax, tax and profit/loss for the period

Net financial items were SEK -269 M (-241), as a result of higher financing costs.

Loss before tax for the period was SEK -276 M (-74). Tax on loss for the period was SEK -6 M (20), corresponding to a tax rate of -2 per cent (26). The low tax rate was attributable primarily to deferred tax not being reported for deficits generated in 2024.

Profit for the period for continuing operations amounted to SEK -283 M (-55).

* Beginning with the second quarter of 2024, the monitoring of the segments partly have changed why Bonava, as of this report recognises an operating gross profit and operating EBIT, which corresponds to the earnings that form the basis of the monitoring of each segment in the Group. The operating EBIT comprises profit/loss before items affecting comparability adjusted for impairments, 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.

Building rights portfolio, completed housing units and ongoing production

BUILDING RIGHTS PORTFOLIO

The total number of building rights at the end of the period amounted to 28,500 (29,400). The number of building rights was somewhat lower year-on-year, which is attributable to housing starts and divestments of non-strategic building rights. Bonava recognises some of its building rights off the balance sheet, such as land that is controlled through a contract with options or other agreements where the land has not yet been taken into possession. The number of building rights off the balance sheet at the end of the period amounted to 7,800 (10,700). At 30 June 2024, the total value of Bonava's investment commitments for building rights off-balance was SEK 1.4 Bn, which is unchanged from the first quarter 2024. SEK 0.4 Bn of these is expected to be settled in 2024; refer further to Note 7.

During the third quarter of 2023, the building rights portfolio was subject to a market valuation and the estimated surplus value at that time amounted to SEK 1.2 Bn. A new valuation will be conducted in the third quarter of 2024.

SOLD COMPLETED HOUSING UNITS NOT RECOGNISED IN PROFIT

The number of sold completed housing units not recognised in profit at the end of the quarter was 84 (47). As of 31 March 2024, the number was 80.

UNSOLD COMPLETED HOUSING UNITS

The number of unsold completed housing units at the end of the period was 442 (285). The value of these housing units was SEK 1,190 M (833). As of 31 March 2024 the value was SEK 1,381 M and the total was 485, of which 140 were sold during the quarter and 97 new housing units were added from projects completed during the period.

VALUE OF HOUSING UNITS SOLD NOT YET RECOGNISED IN PROFIT

The number of housing units in ongoing production amounted to 2,745 (5,087) with a sales rate of 51 per cent (65).

The sales value of housing units sold in production and completed housing units sold but not yet recognised in profit at the end of the period was SEK 3,493 M (7,282) for consumers and SEK 2,322 M (4,165) for investors.

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 currency translation and other non-cash items. 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 available at bonava.com.

CASH FLOW APRIL–JUNE 2024

EBITDA decreased to SEK 45 M (196).

Net investments amounted to SEK 1,007 M (-49), where sales of completed housing units contributed positively to net project investments/divestments which amounted to SEK 713 M (619). Furthermore, land investments/divestments had a positive impact of SEK 289 M (-581), strengthened by the sale of a few properties held for future development.

The change in working capital was SEK -332 M (-180), with customer advances decreasing against the preceding period and lower accruals to match costs related to ongoing restructuring in Germany.

Total operating cash flow was higher than in the year-earlier period, totalling SEK 720 M (-34).

Cash flow before financing activities amounted to SEK 307 M (543). The negative difference compared to operating cash flow can mainly be explained by financial items of SEK -175 M (-147) and changes in project financing of SEK -173 M (-112). The prior period was positively impacted by the divestment of the Norwegian operations.

CASH FLOW JANUARY–JUNE 2024

EBITDA decreased to SEK 50 M (278).

Net investments totalled SEK 649 M (-729), where sales of completed housing units contributed to the positive cash flow from net project investments/divestments of SEK 383 M (492). Net investments/divestments in land also contributed positively, amounting to SEK 279 M (-1 068), increased due to the sale of a few properties held for future development. The prior period cash flow was negative due to investments in properties held for future development.

Working capital changed by SEK -187 M (-207), which led to an operating cash flow of SEK 513 M (-658).

Cash flow before financing activities amounted to SEK -176 M (-420). The negative difference compared to operating cash flow can mainly be explained by financial items of SEK -269 M (-250) and changes in project financing of SEK -337 M (-269). The prior period was positively impacted by the divestment of the Norwegian operations.

Financing and net debt

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

Net debt amounted to SEK 3,823 M (6,631). As of 31 March 2024, net debt was SEK 4,282 M. The decrease during the quarter was due to a positive cash flow from operations. Cash and cash equivalents amounted to SEK 1,311 M and unutilised credits amounted to SEK 184 M. Refer further to Note 4. Exchange rate fluctuations impacted net debt by SEK -105 M compared with 30 June 2023, and by SEK -32 M compared with 31 March 2024.

Equity/assets ratio

The equity/assets ratio was 38.1 per cent (29.2). As of 31 March 2024, the equity/assets ratio was 38.7 per cent. Bonava's target is for the equity/assets ratio not to fall below 30 per cent.

Net project asset value

To ensure control of financial risk, Bonava's target is for the Group's net project asset value not 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 30 June, the ratio between net project asset value to net debt was 1.4, and the target has therefore been met.

Capital and fixed interest rates

At the end of the period, the average fixed-rate term was 0.2 years (0.1) and the average interest rate was 8.41 per cent (6.41) excluding tenant-owner associations/limited liability companies. Capital tie-up period for liabilities to creditors and investors was 2.2 years at the end of the period.

The Group's financing framework

Bonava has a credit agreement totalling EUR 398 M that runs until 1 February 2027. The agreement was signed on 1 February of this year

and encompasses syndicated credits and a revolving credit facility (RCF), with agreed amortisations starting in December 2024. Credits under this agreement can be drawn in EUR, SEK and NOK and are divided into fixed-term tranches, and also 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, which at the same time was extended to March 2027. At 30 June 2024, the bond amounted to SEK 1,080 M, with SEK 120 M amortised in July 2024.

Covenants in loan agreements

Bonava's syndicated credit agreements includes 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 30 June 2024.

Green financing

Since 2020 Bonava has had a green financing framework. Through the framework, Bonava can issue bonds and raise loans to fund sustainable residential development with the aim of promoting positive environmental effects. Bonava has a green bond outstanding that is listed on the Nasdaq Sustainable Bond List. Green loans totalled SEK 3,411 M (3,912) as of 30 June 2024.

Unutilised credit limits

The table below specifies the Group's external financing. The outstanding amount of the green bond was SEK 1,080 M. The fixedterm 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 184 M.

In addition to the above, there are unutilised contractual credits of SEK 16 M for projects in Swedish tenant-owner associations.

Germany

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.

MARKET TREND

There is still a shortage of housing units in Germany, which is expected to continue for the foreseeable future, and this topic is high on the political agenda. The offering of new housing units is low, while customers are cautious. Housing prices in large cities were impacted to a greater extent than prices outside these areas. Sales are continuing to gradually increase, but at a slow pace.

PROFIT APRIL–JUNE 2024

Net sales decreased year-on-year to SEK 1,366 M (1,536), which is attributable to a lower number of housing units delivered. During the quarter, 228 (208) housing units for consumers and 18 (101) housing units for investors were recognised in profit.

The operating gross margin improved to 9.8 per cent (9.1), attributable to the mix of projects delivered, with higher margins in housing units delivered during the quarter.

Operating EBIT totalled SEK 71 M (75) with an operating EBIT margin of 5.2 per cent (4.9), with the implemented restructuring beginning to have an effect in the form of lower selling and administrative expenses. The restructuring is proceeding as planned, and we will gradually see a reduction in these costs in 2024 with full effect beginning in 2025.

PROFIT JANUARY–JUNE 2024

Net sales increased year-on-year to SEK 2,306 M (2,247), which is attributable to a higher number of housing units delivered.

Operating EBIT totalled SEK 119 M (85) with an operating EBIT margin of 5.1 per cent (3.8), with the implemented restructuring beginning to have an effect in the form of lower selling and administrative expenses. The restructuring is proceeding as planned, and we will gradually see a reduction in these costs in 2024 with full effect beginning in 2025.

Sweden

In Sweden, Bonava offers apartments and single-family homes to consumers in Stockholm, Gothenburg, Linköping, Uppsala and Umeå. We offer rental housing projects to investors in some 15 cities.

MARKET TREND

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 second quarter continued to display higher levels of activity among customers and more stable price levels, with a significantly more positive sentiment among customers. Sales increased, but remain at low levels.

PROFIT APRIL–JUNE 2024

Net sales decreased year-on-year to SEK 369 M (947), which is attributable to a lower number of housing units delivered to both consumers and investors. During the quarter, 61 (118) housing units for consumers and no (258) housing units for investors were recognised in profit.

Finland

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

MARKET TREND

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 has been impacted by higher interest rates, inflation, and low levels of customer activity but Finnish inflation is now falling faster than the average in the EU. The Finnish market remains the market with the lowest levels of activity.

PROFIT APRIL–JUNE 2024

Net sales decreased year-on-year to SEK 496 M (915), which was attributable to a lower number of housing units delivered. During the quarter, 22 (131) housing units for consumers and 198 (252) housing units for investors were recognised in profit.

PROFIT JANUARY–JUNE 2024

Net sales decreased substantially year-on-year to SEK 538 M (1,405), which was attributable to a lower number of housing units delivered, but the operating gross margin strengthened 8.1 per cent (7.8) yearon-year.

Baltics

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.

MARKET TREND

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 Estonia and Latvia than in Lithuania.

PROFIT APRIL–JUNE 2024

Net sales amounted to SEK 109 M (185). During the quarter, 73 (135) housing units for consumers and no (none) housing units for investors were recognised in profit.

The operating gross margin was 11.4 per cent (14.0) due to lower volumes and the implementation of selective price adjustments that resulted in a lower margin in housing units delivered.

PROFIT JANUARY–JUNE 2024

Net sales decreased year-on-year to SEK 245 M (323), which is attributable to lower number of housing units delivered to consumers. The operating EBIT margin decreased to 3.8 per cent (7.5) year-onyear, attributable primarily to selective price adjustments.

The occupancy rate during the period gradually increased, to approximately 71 per cent in the two investment properties (Build-to-Manage) that have been completed in the Baltics, with a level of rent remuneration in line with the market. The properties contributed rental income of SEK 4 M during the period, and the gross profit from investment properties was positive even though it remained low.

Operating EBIT amounted to SEK 1 M (14) with an operating EBIT

Our sustainability agenda

To create locations and environments where people thrive, and where future generations can grow up, we build much more than homes – we create happy neighbourhoods for the many. This is our overall purpose. We build 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.

EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT

Employee engagement is one of our strategic targets, and our leadership is crucial for committed employees. We routinely bring all our managers together to follow up on our leadership and our business. In our 2024 employee survey, we achieved an Engagement Index of 83 (global benchmark 81), which we are very proud of given the challenging times we still find ourselves in.

Our values and leadership policies support our managers in pursuing a culture that highlights inclusion, health, development and excellent performance. This autumn, we are also starting an initiative, with our management teams and direct reporting managers attending a leadership development programmes with a focus on personal development, leadership and business.

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 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.

PEOPLE-CENTRIC CULTURE

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.

GOVERNANCE FOR HIGH PERFORMANCE

Development of housing units and residential districts is a central component of every community, and maintaining trusting relationships with many different stakeholders. Good governance 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 longterm 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.

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. 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, the monitoring of the segments has partly changed why Bonava starting from this report recognises an operating gross profit and operating EBIT (segment profit/loss), 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 according to IFRS 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 corresponded 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, without adjustments for currency translation and other non-cash items. The comparative figures for 2023 have been produced, which were adjusted for the transfers of operations that took place in 2023. A bridge between operating and legal cash flow can be found together with other alternative performance measures on Bonava's website.
