Starting on January 1, 2023, JM applies a new accounting principle for projects with Swedish tenant-owners associations; see Note 1 Accounting principles. Restated income statements and balance sheets with the reported effect per quarter are provided in Note 1 of JM's interim report for Q1 2023. Comparative figures in this report have been restated according to the new accounting principle. For the Group's income statement and balance sheet in accordance with IFRS, IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers is applied, which means that revenue and profit/loss from JM's housing development are reported according to the completed contract method, see Note 1 for further information. Segment reporting and project management are reported according to the percentage of completion method. The Group's calculations according to IFRS are presented on pages 18–19. For definitions of key financial figures, see "Definitions Key Financial Figures" at jm.se/en/about-us/investors/

The financial statements are presented in Swedish krona (SEK), which is also the reporting currency for the Parent Company. All amounts are rounded to the nearest million unless otherwise specified. The amounts in the report are based on the Group's consolidation system, which is in SEK thousand. Due to rounding in tables, total amounts may not correspond to the sum of the initial rounded whole numbers. Unless otherwise specified, the analysis and comments in this Year-end Report are based on JM's segment reporting.

Good liquidity and significant surplus values

All of 2023 was characterized by a rare weak market. We have to go back to the beginning of the 1990s to find comparable challenges. High inflation and high market rates combined with global concern are contributing to customers postponing their decision to buy a new home. As a result of the weaker housing market, an external market valuation indicated an impairment need on a few specific development and project properties. As a result, we have made a write-down in the quarter.

Despite the weak market, we increased our sales in the quarter. Our attractive portfolio of development properties is a strength that makes housing starts possible even on a weaker market, and housing starts increased compared to the previous quarters of the year. Accidents on construction sites have received a lot of attention lately. JM takes safety very seriously and continues to be committed to further develop the safety culture at JM and in the industry.

Increased sales

Prices on the existing home market in Sweden have fallen back to the same level as in 2020. Prices in Norway also decreased in the quarter while prices in Finland stabilized. The supply of residential units is large in all our markets. The transaction volume was low in the quarter on all our markets, and an expectation of lowered market rates has not yet had a noticeable effect on the willingness to buy a new home. Interest in JM's residential units continues to be high, but customers are holding off on signing a contract. Despite that, we increased our sales compared to the previous year, although from a low level.

Sales in the housing operations in Stockholm increased compared to both the third quarter this year and the same quarter last year, and one project was started during the quarter. Sales in the rest of Sweden also improved, and three projects were started. To strengthen cash flow, JM continued to adjust prices in select projects close to completion, which had a negative impact on the operating profit in the Swedish operations in the quarter compared to the previous year. Impairment losses on a few specific development properties had a negative impact on profits in the Swedish operations.

JM Norway started and sold to investors during the fourth quarter the first phase of a project in Oslo, but sales to private customers were low. The operating margin was burdened by a continued high cost level but was positively impacted by land sales in Bergen and Oslo.

The price level and activity on the Finnish housing market continued to be low in the fourth quarter, as was general consumer confidence. Given the current market conditions, JM Finland has transitioned to sales to investors, and three investor projects were sold and started in the fourth quarter. Operating profit in Finland was lower than in the previous year primarily due to low sales on the consumer market and price adjustments in select projects close to completion.

Revenue and operating profit for JM Property Development for the fourth quarter were lower than in the corresponding period

"Despite the weak market, we increased our sales in the quarter"

the previous year due to the sale of the office project K1 Karlbergs Strand in fourth quarter 2022, which had a significant impact on profit as well as an accrual impact. Operating profit in the fourth quarter was burdened by impairment losses on two project properties.

Improved cash flow

JM is prioritizing strong liquidity to maintain production and keep resources in preparation for when the market turns. Under the current conditions, we are being careful with investments in development properties at the same time as we have focused our efforts on sales at early stages, which has allowed for the financing of housing starts. Overall, this has resulted in a greatly improved cash flow that gives us room for action in an uncertain market.

To avoid capital tie-up in completed residential units, prices were also adjusted in the fourth quarter for certain residential units given the current market situation, which had a negative impact on performance in the quarter. High production and project financing costs continued at the same time to press the margins in our projects. The impairment in a few specific development and project properties has burdened the quarter's profit. After the write-down, we still have a surplus value of SEK 5.6bn. Overall, profit for the year was lower than in the previous year.

The underlying conditions for JM continue to be good. There is a shortage of housing in all our markets, and since the interest rate forecasts are now starting to indicate falling mortgage rates, the conditions are in place for a recovery on the housing market in 2024.

After 37 years at JM, of which 21 as President, I have announced to the Board of Directors that I will be retiring in 2024. The recruitment of my successor has started. My focus is continued successful sales work to strengthen liquidity, as well as the work for shorter lead times and increased efficiency in production.

Johan Skoglund, President and CEO

JANUARY– DECEMBER 2023

The year has been characterized by a slow-down in the global economy due prevailing external factors such as high inflation, high market interest rates and war. On all of the Group's sub-markets, however, inflation slowed during the fourth quarter. The general assessment is that interest rates have reached their peak, and central banks are not expected to raise the interest rates further. The slow-down in the economy continued to have a considerable impact on the housing market and subsequently JM's operations. The housing markets in the Group's sub-markets have also been negatively impacted by a large supply on the existing home market. Overall, consumers' buying power was weakened and customers continue to be cautious. Often, it takes a long time from when the customer signs the agreement until they move in, which means that the market for newly produced residential units is more exposed than the existing home market when households' finances are weakened.

Prices on the existing home market were stable or slightly decreasing during the year on the Swedish market, but they continued to decrease on the Norwegian and Finnish markets.

The underlying need for housing continues to be large, but the Group's housing starts decreased by almost half in number of residential units compared to the previous year due to weak demand.

Sales have decreased due to the weak market, which resulted in the number of sold residential units in the form of signed contracts decreasing to 1,901 (2,659). The percentage of sold and reserved residential units in relation to current production amounted to 54 percent (62), with an interval of 60–65 percent considered normal. JM Residential Stockholm sold 315 residential units (657), JM Residential Sweden sold 534 (946), JM Norway sold 488 (527), JM Finland sold 346 (459), and JM Property Development sold 218 (70).

The number of housing starts decreased to 1,609 (3,113). JM Residential Stockholm started production on 231 residential units (721), JM Residential Sweden on 443 (1,022), JM Norway on 405 (605), JM Finland on 375 (599) and JM Property Development on 155 (166). The number of residential units in current production decreased to 6,033 (8,078), of which 662 (507) were rental units in JM Property Development.

Residential building rights

The number of available building rights at the end of the year amounted to 39,100 (39,500), of which 22,700 (22,000) are recognized in the balance sheet. Capital tied up in building rights (development properties in the balance sheet) for residential units increased to SEK 8,496m (8,454).

During the fourth quarter, JM's development properties were valued at a carrying amount of SEK 8.5bn (8.5), which showed a surplus value of SEK 5.6bn (6.7). An impairment need for a few specific development properties was identified, which resulted in impairment losses totaling SEK 181m (–), of which SEK 17m referred to development properties in Belgium.

JM acquired residential development properties during the year for SEK 1,628m (1,700), of which SEK 805m (417) relates to JM Residential Stockholm, SEK 40m (1,073) to JM Residential Sweden, SEK 644m (37) to JM Norway, and SEK 139m (173) to JM Finland.

The externally appraised market value of JM's project properties was estimated to be SEK 1,069m (1,089) with a carrying amount of SEK 1,030m (932), of which properties under development amounted to SEK 1,024m (908). In conjunction with the market valuations conducted in the fourth quarter, two project properties were written down by a total of SEK 77m (–) in the business segment JM Property Development.

Rental income from JM's project properties was SEK 36m (35). Net operating income was SEK 11m (11).

Revenue, operating profit and operating margin

JANUARY– DECEMBER 2023

Consolidated revenue according to segment reporting decreased during the year to SEK 13,851m (16,385). The decreased revenue was primarily attributable to low level of residential units in current production and decreased sales ratio in all business segments, which to some extent is offset by commercial projects in current production.

Operating profit according to segment reporting decreased to SEK 732m (2,064), and operating margin decreased to 5.3 percent (12.6), primarily due to price reductions in current projects, increased costs in current production, and impairment in development properties and project properties totaling SEK 258m (–). Operating profit excluding impairment amounted to SEK 990m and operating margin to 7.1 percent. During the second quarter, profit was burdened by SEK 67m (–) due to costs from completed staff layoffs.

Revenue restated according to IFRS increased to SEK 15,969m (14,577) primarily attributable to greater number of handed over residential units than the previous year, 2,729 in 2023 to compare with 2,352 in 2022, togheter with commercial projects in current production.

Operating profit restated according to IFRS decreased to SEK 1,510m (1,978). The decrease is primarily attributable to impairment losses and handed over residential units with a lower margin.

OCTOBER– DECEMBER 2023

Consolidated revenue according to segment reporting for the fourth quarter decreased to SEK 3,407m (5,152). The decreased revenue is primarily attributable to low level of residential units in current production and low sales ratio in all business segments, which to some extent is offset by commercial projects in current production.

Operating profit according to segment reporting decreased to SEK −90m (767), and the operating margin decreased to −2.6 percent (14.9), which is primarily attributable to price reductions in current projects and impairment in development properties and project properties totaling SEK 258m (–). Operating profit excluding impairment amounted to SEK 168m and the operating margin to 4.9 percent.

Revenue restated according to IFRS decreased to SEK 3,441m (5,578). Operating profit restated according to IFRS decreased to SEK 48m (969), primarily due to impairment losses and a smaller number of handed over residential units with lower margin in the JM Residential Stockholm and JM Residential Sweden business segments.

Rental income from JM's project properties was SEK 11m (9). Net operating income was SEK −1m (5).

Financial items

JANUARY–DECEMBER 2023

Net financial items according to segment reporting decreased compared to the previous year, primarily due to increased interest expenses.

Total interest-bearing liabilities according to segment reporting were SEK 3,469m (2,179), of which the pension liability comprised SEK 1,546m (1,404). At the end of the year, the average interest rate for the total interest-bearing loan stock including the pension liability was 4.7 percent (3.8). The average term for fixed-rate loans excluding the pension liability was 0.2 years(0.3).

Consolidated available liquidity according to segment reporting decreased to SEK 4,382m (4 640). Aside from cash and cash equivalents of SEK 1,582m (1,840), this includes unutilized overdraft facilities and credit lines totaling SEK 2,800m (2,800), where credit agreements for SEK 2,400m had an average maturity of 2.7 years (3.5).

Interest-bearing net liabilities including the pension liability according to segment reporting totaled SEK 1,877m (334) at the end of the period. Non-interest-bearing liabilities for completed property acquisitions amounted to SEK 782m (492). Of these liabilities, SEK 419m (78) were current.

The valuation of financial assets and liabilities shows no significant difference between the carrying amount and fair value.

The effective tax rate amounted to 31 percent (21) and was negatively impacted by limitations on interest rate deductions.

Cash flow

JANUARY–DECEMBER 2023

Cash flow from operating activities according to segment reporting was strengthened compared to the previous year and amounted to SEK −48m (−261), which is attributable to a lower level of investments in properties and lower working capital. Net investments in development properties resulted in a cash flow of SEK −247m (−333). The increase in holdings of unsold residential units in the balance sheet resulted in a negative cash flow of SEK −484m (88). Consolidated cash flow attributable to project properties (sales minus investment) during the period was SEK −383m (−716).

OCTOBER–DECEMBER 2023

Cash flow from operating activities was strengthened during the fourth quarter compared to the corresponding period the previous year and amounted to SEK 404m (354), which is attributable to a lower level of investments in properties and lower working capital. Net investments in development properties resulted in cash flow of SEK 168m (219). Holdings of repurchased residential units resulted in cash flow of SEK 17m (7). Consolidated cash flow attributable to project properties (sales minus investment) amounted to SEK –16m (−178).

JM Residential Stockholm

The JM Residential Stockholm business segment develops residential projects in Greater Stockholm. Operations include acquisitions of development properties, planning, pre‑construction, production and sales of residential units.

The average prices on the existing home market decreased slightly during the fourth quarter. The total supply of residential units continued to be high, but the supply of newly produced residential units was still at a low level.

The housing market in Stockholm continued to be cautious during the fourth quarter. For the business segment's projects, the higher interest rate and the general uncertainty, among other things, have meant that customers have been very cautious. Customers showed increased interest in the fourth quarter, but their willingness to sign a contract early was still below normal.

The absence of necessary authority decisions had a negative impact on the business segment's housing starts, which in the fourth quarter related to one project of 46 residential units.

Compared to the corresponding period the previous year, revenue and operating profit for the fourth quarter decreased due to the low sales in previous periods, price adjustments in current projects, increased financing costs, and impairment in development properties.

During market valuation of the business segment's development properties, an impairment need of SEK 75m was identified in

a few properties, which burdened profit in the fourth quarter. Operating profit excluding impairment amounted to SEK −43m and the operating margin to −4.2 percent for the fourth quarter.

The lower level of residential units in current production combined with the low sales resulted in a decrease in revenue for the full year compared to the previous year. Operating profit for the full year decreased compared to the previous year due to low sales, price adjustments in current projects, increased financing costs, impairment in development properties, and costs for implemented savings measures.

Cash flow for the fourth quarter improved somewhat compared to the corresponding period the previous year primarily due to cash received from the sale of development properties.

Cash flow for the year weakened compared to the previous year, which was primarily attributable to a lower operating profit while the change in working capital was positive.

Production was started in the fourth quarter on a total of 98 residential units in apartment buildings on Ekerö.

No building rights were acquired in the fourth quarter.

JM Residential Sweden

The JM Residential Sweden business segment develops residential projects in growth areas in Sweden, excluding Greater Stockholm. Operations include acquisitions of development properties, planning, pre‑construction, production and sales of residential units.

Average prices on the existing home market for tenant-owned apartments decreased during the fourth quarter on several of the business segment's sub-markets, and in the university cities, prices fell the most from a relatively high level. Single-family home prices remained unchanged or continued to fall slightly.

On the existing home market, supply continued to be at high levels and at higher levels than in the previous year. The supply of new production decreased and continued to be at very low levels, with the exception of Gothenburg.

Sales continued to be low but with a slight increase in the fourth quarter and a continued major focus on sales of residential units that are close to occupation or completed. The willingness of customers to sign a contract early in the process was below normal, with customers continuing to show caution.

Compared to the corresponding period the previous year, revenue and operating profit for the fourth quarter decreased due to impairment in development properties, price adjustments in current projects, lower sales, and increased financing costs. During market valuation of the business segment's development

properties, an impairment need of SEK 75m was identified in a few specific properties, which burdened profit in the fourth quarter. The operating profit excluding impairment amounted for the fourth quarter to SEK 4m and the operating margin to 0.6 percent.

Revenue and operating profit for the full year decreased compared to the previous year due to low current production, price adjustments in current projects, lower sales, increased production and financing costs, impairment in development properties, and costs for implemented savings measures.

Both the fourth quarter's and the year's cash flow was weaker than in the corresponding period the previous year due to the increase in restricted working capital and an increase in the number of purchased residential units in the balance sheet.

Production was started in the fourth quarter on a total of 145 residential units in apartment buildings in Lomma, Mölndal and Öjersjö in Partille municipality, of which 124 residential units in apartment buildings and 21 single-family homes.

No building rights were acquired in the fourth quarter.

CASH FLOW JM RESIDENTIAL SWEDEN

JM Norway

The business segment develops residential projects in Norway. Operations include acquisitions of deve‑ lopment properties, planning, pre-construction and production and sale of residential units. Revenue and profit for the business segment are reported using the percentage of completion method.

The price level on the existing home market continued to decrease during the fourth quarter and at the end of the year was in line with the previous year. Norway's central bank also raised the key rate during the fourth quarter, which leads to higher mortgage costs for customers. At the same time, the market expects that interest rates have peaked in Norway.

Sales of residential units on the existing home market were at the same level as in the previous year, while sales of newly produced residential units were significantly lower than in the previous year. Demand for JM's residential units was also lower than normal in the fourth quarter.

Revenue and operating profit for the fourth quarter decreased compared to the corresponding period the previous year due to lower sales and increased production and financing costs. However, revenue and operating profit were positively impacted by two sales of land for housing projects in Bergen and the Oslo area.

During market valuation of the business segment's development properties, an impairment need of SEK 11m was identified for two properties, which burdened profit in the fourth quarter. The operating profit excluding impairment losses amounted for the fourth quarter to SEK 45m, and the operating margin to 6.0 percent.

Revenue and operating profit for the full year decreased compared to in the previous year due to lower sales and increased production and financing costs.

Cash flow for both the fourth quarter and the full year decreased compared to the corresponding period the previous year, which primarily is due to lower operating profit. Cash flow for the full year was also burdened by larger investments compared to the previous year.

During the fourth quarter, the business segment started production on the first phase of the Granitten project at Furuset in Oslo, which consists of 156 residential units. The project has been sold in its entirety to a real estate company.

No building rights were acquired in the fourth quarter.

JM Finland

The business segment develops residential projects in Finland. Operations include acquisitions of deve‑ lopment properties, planning, pre-construction and production and sale of residential units. Revenue and profit for the business segment are reported using the percentage of completion method.

The activity on the housing market in the Helsinki region increased slightly during the fourth quarter. Inflation fell, and the market rate remained unchanged. However, there was continued caution among consumers regarding housing purchases, and customers' confidence in the future remained low. The prices on the existing home market in the Helsinki region stabilized during the fourth quarter.

Sales in the fourth quarter were higher than in the previous year primarily due to increased sales to investors.

Business segment revenue and operating profit for the fourth quarter decreased compared to the corresponding period the previous year, primarily due to lower sales to the consumer market and price adjustments in current projects. However, the operating margin was in line with the previous year.

During market valuation of the business segment's development properties, an impairment need of SEK 3m was identified, which burdened profit in the fourth quarter. Operating profit excluding impairment amounted to SEK 49m and the operating margin to 11.2 percent.

Revenue and the operating profit for the full year decreased compared to the previous year primarily due to lower sales, costs for implemented savings measures, and price adjustments in current projects.

Cash flow for both the fourth quarter and the year decreased compared to the previous year as a result of higher restricted working capital.

During the fourth quarter, JM started production on a total of 341 residential units in Helsinki and Espoo and acquired approximately 200 building rights in Hagalund, Espoo.

JM Property Development

The JM Property Development business segment primarily develops rental and residential care units and commercial properties in Greater Stockholm. The business segment's entire portfolio comprises project development properties. The operations include JM@home, which offers economic and technical man‑ agement services to tenant-owners associations as well as housing services.

Business segment revenue and operating profit for the fourth quarter decreased significantly compared to the corresponding period the previous year due to the gains from the sale of the office project K1 Karlbergs Strand from fourth quarter 2022. The sale also generated an accrual effect in the fourth quarter of 2022. Operating profit in fourth quarter 2023 was burdened by impairment in two project properties totaling SEK 77m. The impaired properties refer to current projects with planned completion in the first half of 2024. The operating profit excluding impairment losses amounted for the fourth quarter to SEK 123m, and the operating margin to 36.6 percent.

Business segment revenue for the full year increased compared to the previous year primarily due to projects in current production. Contracting revenue and sales of services for the full year amounted to SEK 1,423m (1,224), and rental income to SEK 35m (34).

Operating profit decreased compared to the previous year primarily due to mentioned impairment losses.

Cash flow for both the fourth quarter and the year improved compared to the previous year due to increased project financing, deposits received for sold properties under construction, and the sale of a project property in the Dalénum area in Lidingö.

The business segment has three projects in current production, for which profit and revenue recognition occurs gradually during construction: the office project K1 Karlbergs Strand, with estimated completion in the first quarter of 2025, the rental project Kvarter 8, with estimated completion in the third quarter of 2024, and the residential care building Pilhamns Gårdar, with estimated completion in the third quarter of 2024. Production is ongoing in an additional three rental projects in JM's own balance sheet: Igelsta Trädkrona in Södertälje, with 96 rental units; Dyrvers Kulle in Sundbyberg, with 123 rental units; and Flora in Järfälla, with 155 rental units.

JM Construction

The JM Construction business segment carries out construction work for external customers in the Greater Stockholm area. The business segment focuses on civil engineering contracts for external professional customers.

Demand on the civil engineering market in Stockholm continued to be stable during the period, with strong competition for assignments and, like in the third quarter, somewhat cautious customers.

On July 1, operations for the part of the business unit that carried out internal civil engineering projects were transferred to JM Residential Stockholm. As a result of this transfer, JM Construction transitioned to a specialized civil engineering business that focuses on delivering profitable civil engineering projects with high quality. Ongoing Group-internal projects are being transferred gradually to JM Residential Stockholm.

Business segment revenue for the fourth quarter and the full year decreased compared to the corresponding period the previous year, primarily due to the operational transfer of internal projects and lower external activity for JM in the civil engineering business. Operating profit for the fourth quarter and the full year

decreased compared to the corresponding period the previous year primarily due to lower recognized revenue.

Cash flow for the year improved compared to the previous year, which is mainly due to a reduction in tied-up working capital.

Cash flow for the fourth quarter decreased somewhat compared to the previous year, mainly due to an increase in restricted working capital.

In the fourth quarter, the business segment received a number of assignments, of which the largest is a collaboration on the civil engineering work in Täby.

The largest ongoing projects are several infrastructure projects in Tyresö, development work for an upcoming industrial area in Länna in Huddinge municipality, groundworks and conduit work for new sewage treatment plants in Haninge, and development and detailed planning work in a new district in Vallentuna.

Sustainable development

Sustainability is an integrated part of JM's residential and urban development, From the acquisition of land and throughout the entire design phase until the customers move in and are living in Swan Ecolabel homes in areas that promote a sustainable lifestyle. Structured work environment initiatives, efforts to prevent accidents, quality-assured supplier chains, and active efforts to improve diversity and equal opportunity are central components of JM's sustainability work.

At JM, we take a long-term approach to everything we do. Our buildings should stand for at least 100 years, and our sustainability work continues even during economic downturns, which was reflected in 2023. Despite a challenging market, JM invested both time and money into sustainable pilot projects and more sustainable structure capital.

During the fourth quarter, a pilot study was initiated in Finland to study casting with climate-improved concrete in cold temperatures. Climate-improved concrete means that some of the binding agent has been replaced with material that has lower emissions. The aim of the study is to investigate any differences between the types of climate-improved concrete. Five concrete suppliers are participating in the study, which is testing concrete that has 15–30 percent lower emissions. The study is continuing during the first quarter and will be evaluated in the spring of 2024.

The climate impact of each of the Group's new projects is calculated at an early stage of the project development, which makes it possible to make adjustments early in a project to both reduce the project's climate impact and identify improvements that can be used in other projects.

JM has identified the most significant sustainability aspects to work with in order to generate long-term sustainable value creation both within both JM and in its surroundings. The

outcome of the Group's materiality analysis for the year showed that business ethics is an essential topic for our stakeholders. During the fourth quarter, all JM employees completed a mandatory course on business ethics and JM's code of conduct.

In December, a serious workplace accident occurred in conjunction with the dismantling of scaffolding at one of the Group's construction sites.

JM takes the accident very seriously and is continuing to work actively to improve security at our worksites. In general, the construction industry is good at identifying errors and deficiencies. It is equally important to have a sound safety culture, and in this respect JM focuses on how we succeed at both our safety work and implementing root-cause analyses following incidents. The theme and focus areas during JM's annual Safety Week, which is arranged during the fourth quarter, was Safety Culture. A number of good examples from the year's Safety Week featuring safety culture in the Group's projects and regions now serve as the basis for continued work on and analysis of the possibility for implementation in the company as a whole.

All completed residential units produced in JM's own operations during the year were certified in accordance with Nordic Swan Ecolabel. JM introduced a requirement on Swan Ecolabel housing production in 2018.

As at the end of the fourth quarter, there were 2,193 (2,488) employees. The number of wage-earners amounted to 828 (871), and the number of salaried employees was 1,365 (1,617).

Related parties

No significant transactions with related parties occurred during the period other than the normal transactions between JM's Group companies and joint arrangements. The transactions occurred at market terms.

Notes

Note 1 Accounting principles

This year-end report and interim report for the fourth quarter of 2023 were prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and the Annual Accounts Act. The consolidated accounts were prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). Since the Parent Company is an enterprise within the EU, only EU-approved IFRS are applied. The Parent Company's accounts were prepared in accordance with RFR 2.

Amended standards as of 2023

According to the amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of financial statements, which the Group applies as of January 1, 2023, JM must provide disclosures regarding significant information about accounting principles instead of disclosing significant accounting principles. The amendment to IAS 1 has been analyzed and is not judged to have a material impact on JM's financial statements. Other amendments to standards and interpretations that entered into force on January 1, 2023, have also not had a material impact on this financial statement.

Segment reporting

JM's segment reporting primarily differs from IFRS in three respects:

In segment reporting, the Group´s revenue is recognized using the percentage of completion method.

In addition, project financing within JM Norway and JM Finland and parts of the project financing in JM Residential Stockholm, JM Residential Sweden and JM Property Development are recorded as a deduction item to "Revenue less progress billings" or "Progress billings in excess of recognized revenue" and raised/repaid project financing is reported in the cash flow from operating activities.

The reporting of leases in accordance with IFRS 16 is not applied in the segment reporting.

JM makes the assessment that segment reporting most accurately reflects the economic implications of JM's business at the same time as it correlates well with the Group's internal governance, which is based on the Group's cash flows, risk profile and capital allocation.

Change in accounting principle operating segment

Starting January 1, 2023, JM International will be broken down into two new operating segments: JM Norway and JM Finland. This decision is in line with JM's strategy to be one of the leading residential project developers in the Nordics and how the business is governed and reported. JM Norway will include residential development projects, acquisitions of development properties, planning, pre-construction and the production and sales of residential units in Norway. JM Finland will include residential development projects, acquisitions of development properties, planning, pre-construction and the production and

sales of residential units in Finland. The accounting principles and methods of calculation for the Group have also not changed compared to the description on pages 87–91 in the 2022 Annual and Sustainability Report.

Changed accounting principle for housing development through Swedish tenant-owners associations

Against the background of the decision by the Supreme Administrative Court not to grant JM leave to appeal, the ruling by the Administrative Court of Appeal from November 9, 2022, becomes legally binding. As of January 1, 2023, in accordance with IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements, JM consolidates Swedish tenant-owners associations during the production phase up until the point in time that the home buyers of the residential units take over occupancy. Accordingly, the Group's balance sheet and profit and loss according to IFRS includes all of the tenant-owners associations' assets, equity and liabilities as well as revenue and expenses. This principle is hereinafter referred to as the "completion contact method".

JM recognizes the projects in the balance sheet where largest items consist of work in progress on the asset side and the tenant-owners associations borrowing as a part of the Group's interest-bearing liabilities. Revenue and expenses for the projects are recognized when the home buyers take over occupancy of the residential units.

The changed accounting principle entails that JM will recognize all residential projects that are developed in-house in Sweden, Norway and Finland according to the completed contract method. Revenue from residential development through tenantowner associations in Sweden was previously recognized over time.

To provide a clear and comparable overview of JM's earnings trend over time with regard to residential development through tenant-owner associations, JM will continue to present segment reporting where revenue in these projects is recognized in accordance with the percentage of completion method. The reporting of financial key ratios will also take these conditions into consideration. This is in line with JM's internal governance model. Neither JM's risk profile nor existing financing agreements are impacted by the change in accounting.

The Parent Company's accounting principles are unchanged, for more information refer to Note 1 in 2022 Annual and Sustainability Report.

Comparative figures in this report have been restated according to the new accounting principle. Restated income statements and balance sheets with the reported effect per quarter are provided on pages 22–23 of JM's interim report for the period January–March 2023.
