The reporting of project funding in JM International was reclassified. Project funding was previously reported against costs incurred in the balance sheet item "Work in progress", but as from the third quarter 2017 it is reported as an interest-bearing liability. Comparative figures have been restated. The reclassification has not resulted in any changes to segment reporting, project management or the risk profile in JM's international operations. The effects are presented in a restatement table, see the document "Reclassification of project funding in JM International" at jm.se/investors.

The Group applies IFRIC 15 Agreements for the Construction of Real Estate to its income statement and balance sheet in accordance with IFRS. This means that revenue and profit and loss for JM International, JM's operations outside of Sweden, are reported according to the completed contract method. Segment reporting and project management are reported according to IAS 11 using the percentage of completion method. The consolidated statements in accordance with IFRS are presented on pages 21-22.

GROUP

"The housing market in Stockholm was cautious during the third quarter. Demand for JM's residential units in Stockholm was lower during the summer. The lower level of demand continued after the vacation period. However, demand improved towards the end of the quarter. The production volume in Stockholm demonstrated stable growth with

good profitability, and housing starts during the quarter were supported by a normal level of reservations.

The housing operations in the rest of Sweden are showing positive development with good profitability in solid markets.

During the third quarter, the market in Norway weakened, demand in Finland continued to improve.

We continue to see a high level of competition for land for residential purposes and are selective when it comes to acquisitions, but we also noted a greater supply of properties for residential development in Stockholm during the quarter. JM is in a very good position to utilize the opportunities that can be created if the competitive situation were to change.

With the individual in focus, we refine the city using a long-term and sustainable approach. JM works continuously to understand and meet its customers' needs for both the home itself and the immediate surroundings. During the quarter, we started large projects in Malmö and Stockholm that reflect our ambition to create housing and living environments that improve quality of life. The Nils project in Malmö includes 127 apartments close to the city and with a strong identity next to Drottninggatan. The plans for the building also include premises for stores and offices as well as outdoor areas and a guest apartment.

In southern Stockholm, we started JM's third project in Älvsjöstaden, Solstrålen, with 138 apartments. We are building a residential quarter here with buildings that have protected courtyards next to Solbergaskogen and are yet another example of an attractive living environment.

We are well positioned with a good project portfolio that we continue to improve for the housing of the future, at the same time as our strong balance sheet offers us freedom."

Johan Skoglund, President and CEO

FINANCIAL ITEMS

JANUARY – SEPTEMBER 2017

The sale of participations in the housing developer Småa AB during the first quarter resulted in gains of SEK 275m. Excluding this sale, net financial items decreased by SEK 13m compared to the previous year primarily due to dividends not received during 2017 from Småa as a result of the completed sale.

The total interest-bearing loan stock according to segment reporting was SEK 1,834m (1,918), of which the pension liability comprised SEK 1,297m (1,299). At the end of the nine-month period, the average interest rate for the total interest-bearing loan stock including pension liabilities was 2.5 percent (2.6). The average term for fixed-rate loans excluding the pension liability was 0.2 years (0.4).

Consolidated available liquidity was SEK 5,357m (3,977). Aside from cash and cash equivalents of SEK 2,557m (1,177), 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 1.7 years (1.7).

Interest-bearing net receivables according to segment reporting totaled SEK 727m (–737) at the end of the nine-month period. Non-interest-bearing liabilities for completed property acquisitions amounted to SEK 543m (513). Of these liabilities, SEK 394m (344) were short-term.

RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

JM's risk and risk management policies are presented in the 2016 Annual Report on pages 29-32. No significant changes have occurred to change these reported risks.

BUY-BACK AND HOLDINGS OF OWN SHARES

At the end of August, the Annual General Meeting resolution to reduce the share capital by 2,044,847 shares held by the company was taken into effect. During the third quarter of 2017, 466,000 shares were bought back for SEK 125m. Holdings of own shares subsequently total 855,650.

The number of outstanding shares, excluding holdings of own shares, at September 30, 2017, totals 70,204,033.

FINANCIAL TARGETS BASED ON SEGMENT REPORTING

The segment reporting reflects the economic significance of JM's business. This also correlates well to the Group's internal governance, which is based on the cash flows, risk profile and capital allocation.

The change in JM's external reporting, presented on page 2, means that the definition of the Group's financial targets will be based on segment reporting and otherwise are unchanged. The new external reporting has not resulted in any changes to the Group's governance or risk profile.

PERSONNEL

The number of employees at the end of the nine-month period was 2,540 (2,399). The number of wage-earners was 1,006 (1,009) and the number of salaried employees was 1,534 (1,390). Current staffing is considered to be well-balanced for the current project volume, with some adjustments made on an ongoing basis. Demand on the labor market is strong for qualified project development skills.

BUSINESS SEGMENT 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 did not change during the third quarter. The supply of homes has been relatively high, and the supply of new homes increased in some local markets.

Competition for well-situated land for residential units continues to be tough, and the prices for building rights continue to be at a level that requires JM to be very selective when acquiring land. However, we noted during the quarter a greater supply of properties for residential development.

After a very cautious period at the end of the summer, demand for JM's projects improved toward the end of the third quarter. Customers' willingness to sign a contract early in the process is at a normal level. However, the period of caution has meant that there was a loss of sales that could not be regained during the third quarter.

Housing starts in Stockholm during the third quarter were supported by a normal level of reservations, which means that the ongoing production volume show stable development with good profitability.

The business segment's revenue increased to SEK 5,331m (5,144). Revenue during the third quarter decreased to 1,613 (1,699), which is due to the low level of transferred land to projects during the quarter. Operating profit increased to SEK 1,041m (908). The operating margin increased to 19.5 percent (17.7).

Cash flow during the nine-month period is in balance taking into consideration the decrease in development properties.

Production was started in the third quarter on 365 residential units in apartment buildings in Stockholm, Nacka and Järfälla.

During the third quarter, JM purchased building rights in Solna corresponding to 110 residential units

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. Contracting operations are also conducted to a limited extent.

The average prices on the existing home market increased slightly during the third quarter in all markets in JM Residential Sweden.

Competition for land for residential purposes is very tough. There is great interest in JM's projects, and customers' willingness to sign a contract early in the process is at a normal level.

Business segment revenue increased to SEK 3,215m (2,823) and operating profit increased to SEK 488m (354). The operating margin increased to 15.2 percent (12.5). The profit and the margin improved as a result of strong demand and an increase in prices in recent years.

Cash flow during the nine-month period is in balance at the same time as it was burdened by major acquisitions of development properties during the third quarter.

Production was started in the third quarter on 372 residential units in apartment buildings and single-family homes in Malmö, Kungsbacka and Västerås.

During the third quarter, JM purchased building rights corresponding to 500 residential units in Malmö, Lund and Mölndal.

JM CONSTRUCTION

The JM Construction business segment carries out construction work for external and internal customers in the Greater Stockholm area.

Demand in the contracting market in Stockholm is at a good level with customers displaying a good willingness to invest. Both the building and civil engineering markets are stable, although there is tough competition for the assignments. Orders are good in the business segment, with a large number of projects in current production.

Business segment revenue increased to SEK 1,601m (1,211) and the operating profit decreased to SEK 23m (33). The operating margin decreased to 1.4 percent (2.7). Profit/loss was burdened by the revaluation of current projects. A long-term project is underway in the business segment to raise profitability.

Cash flow is in balance during the nine-month period and was boosted through the settlement of a large accounts receivable during the third quarter.

The business segment received a number of assignments during the third quarter, of which the largest was the development work in Värmdö (Värmdö Municipality).

The largest ongoing projects are a new operational area at Arlanda Airport (Swedavia), new production of a school (Vallentuna Municipality), new production of office buildings in Danderyd (Skandia Fastigheter), new production of apartment buildings in Norra Djurgårdsstaden (HSB and Riksbyggen) and new production of apartment buildings in Tyresö (Småa and Riksbyggen).

ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES

This interim report for the nine-month period of 2017 was prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and the Swedish 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.

The accounting principles and methods of calculation for the Group have not changed compared to those described in the 2016 Annual Report on pages 68-71, with the exception of a reclassification that was made of project funding in JM International. Project funding was previously reported against costs incurred in the balance sheet item "Work in progress", but it is as from the third quarter 2017 reported as an interest-bearing liability. The comparative figures have been restated and are presented in the document, "Reclassification of project funding in JM International" at jm.se/investors. The reclassification has not resulted in any changes to segment reporting, project management or the risk profile in JM's international operations.

JM's segment reporting differs from IFRS in two respects. In its segment reporting, revenue for JM International is recognized using the percentage of completion method in accordance with IAS 11.

In addition, JM International's project funding is recorded as a deduction item to "Revenue less progress billings" or "Progress billings in excess of recognized revenue" and raised/repaid project funding is reported in the cash flow from operating activities. These principles serve in JM's internal governance and follow-up as a basis for the Group's income statements and balance sheets as a whole.

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 its cash flows, risk profile and capital allocation.

IFRS 15

IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers refers to the accounting of revenue from contracts and from the sale of some non-financial assets. The new standard must be applied as of 2018 and replaces the existing revenue recognition standards. JM has for a long time been following the work with the new standard for revenue recognition, including a number of discussions with representatives for IASB, and has on an ongoing basis evaluated the work with the new standard.

JM makes the assessment that the reporting of the project development of residential units in Sweden can continue to occur with the application of the percentage of completion method. The contracts with the tenant-owners association are entered into simultaneously, are priced as a single unit and are assessed to constitute a performance obligation. Since JM is contractually obligated to deliver a specific building and during the course of the project is entitled to payment, the assessment is made that revenue must be reported over time, i.e. the percentage of completion method.

With regard to corresponding business in Norway and Finland, the assessment is made that there is no entitlement to payment,

PARENT COMPANY

CONDENSED INCOME STATEMENT, PARENT COMPANY

which means that, like today, revenue must be reported at a specific point in time, i.e. completion.

The assessment is also made that revenue in JM Construction can continue to be reported using the percentage of completion method since the construction is carried out on land that the customer controls.

As a whole, IFRS 15 is not considered to result in any changes to JM's current revenue recognition principles. JM is currently evaluating some details in IFRS 15 in relation to JM's different businesses.

IFRS 9

IFRS 9 Financial Instruments refers to the reporting of financial instruments. The new standard must be applied as of 2018 and replaces IAS 39. It contains rules for classification and measurement of financial assets and liabilities, impairment of financial instruments and hedge accounting. JM makes the assessment that IFRS 9 could affect the measurement of some receivables, but the effect is not considered to be material.

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim report based on our review.

SCOPE OF 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.

CONCLUSION

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.

BUSINESS

JM is one of the leading developers of housing and residential areas in the Nordic region.

Operations focus on new production of homes in attractive locations, with the main focus on expanding metropolitan areas and university towns in Sweden, Norway, and Finland. We are also involved in the project development of commercial premises and contract work, primarily in the Greater Stockholm area.

JM seeks to promote long-term sustainability management in all its operations. Annual sales total approximately SEK 17 billion and the company has around 2,500 employees. JM AB is a public limited company listed on NASDAQ Stockholm, Large Cap segment.

FINANCIAL TARGETS AND DIVIDENDS POLICY

The operating margin should amount to 10 percent, including gains/losses from property sales. The visible equity ratio should amount to 35 percent over a business cycle.

Over time, the dividend should reflect the earnings trend in total operating activities and over a business cycle on average correspond to 50 percent of consolidated profit after tax. Capital gains from property sales are a natural part of JM's project development operations and therefore are included in the calculation of dividends.

JM's financial targets are defined based on segment reporting.
