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 and non-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 continued to be cautious during the fourth quarter. The production volume in Stockholm demonstrated solid development during the year with good profitability, and housing starts during the fourth quarter were supported by a normal level of reservations. The housing operations in the rest of Sweden are continuing
to show a positive development with good profitability levels in a stable market, if at a lower price level in the fourth quarter.
During the fourth quarter, the market in Norway weakened and demand in Finland continued to improve.
We have noted an increase in the supply of residential development properties in Stockholm, and JM has a very good position to take advantage of the possibilities for acquisitions that may be created. In the rest of Sweden, competition for land is strong. JM's strong financial position also supports our prioritization to start new housing projects.
During the quarter, we started several projects in attractive locations. We started the second phase in the Strandholmen project southwest of Oslo with 31 of a total of around 70 planned residential units. We are creating housing here that is close to recreation but also good transportation to work and services. Holmestrand Centrum and its train station are walking distance away, and it is possible to take an elevator down to the beach next to the fjord.
In Kvibergsstaden outside of Gothenburg, we started production on Kvibergs Esplanad, which will have 108 residential units in two low rises and one tower block. With the best location for comfortable urban living between Säveån and Kviberg's barracks. Everything in easy distance, which means that the car is not needed.
JM is now increasing its focus on logistics with JM Supply, which develops material handling at JM's construction sites. This increased focus is a step in the development of production logistics to increase productivity at the worksites. The goal is for JM's worksites to have both fewer and smaller disruptions caused by the material supply chain. With this method of working, we hope to create the right conditions for increased productivity and at the same time develop new and more ergonomic aids.
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 – DECEMBER 2017
The sale of the participations in the housing developer, Småa AB, during the first quarter resulted in gains of SEK 275m.

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
During the fourth quarter 2017, 620,771 shares were bought back for a total of SEK 125m. Holdings of own shares subsequently total 1,476,421. After the 2017 Annual General Meeting, shares were bought back for SEK 375m.
The number of outstanding shares, excluding holdings of own shares, at December 31, 2017, totals 69,583,262.
The Board of Directors intends to propose to the Annual General Meeting that all the holdings of own shares be eliminated through a decrease in the share capital for appropriations to unrestricted equity. The Board of Directors' complete proposal for a resolution regarding the elimination of shares will be available in conjunction with the notice of Annual General Meeting on March 14, 2018.
JM continues to have a strong financial position and strong liquidity. However, the Board of Directors does not intend to propose a buy-back of own shares to the Annual General Meeting. Neither will JM buy back any of the company's own shares during the first quarter of 2018. The aim is to enable larger acquisitions of development properties if the opportunity arises. The strong financial position also supports our prioritization to start new housing projects.
FINANCIAL TARGETS BASED ON SEGMENT REPORTING
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 Group's cash flows, risk profile and capital allocation.
The change in JM's external reporting, as presented on page 2, entails that the definitions of the Group's financial targets will be based on segment reporting, but otherwise are unchanged. The new external reporting has not had an impact in any respect on the Group's governance or risk profile.
PERSONNEL
The number of employees increased at the end of the year to 2,531 (2,422). The number of wage-earners was 998 (1,023) and the number of salaried employees was 1,533 (1,399). Current staffing is considered well balanced for the current project volume and some adjustments are made on a regular basis. Demand on the labor market continues to be strong for qualified project development skills.
DIVIDEND
For 2017 the Board of Directors proposes a dividend of SEK 11.00 (9.50) per share for a total of SEK 765m (675). The proposed record date for the dividend is April 16, 2018. If the Annual General Meeting resolves to adopt the proposal, the dividend will be sent on Thursday, April 19, 2018.

BUSINESS SEGMENTS 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 during the fourth quarter. The supply of homes has been high, and the supply of new homes clearly increased in some local markets.
Competition for well-situated land for housing is considered to have decreased at the end of the year at the same time as the supply of properties for housing development increased. However, prices of building rights are still at a level that requires selective acquisition.
The housing market in Stockholm continued to be cautious during the fourth quarter.
Customers are continuing to show strong interest in our projects, but are taking a cautious approach to signing contracts early in the process.
Housing starts in Stockholm during the fourth quarter were supported by a normal number of reservations, which means that the ongoing production volume is stable and continued to have good profitability.
Business segment revenue amounted to SEK 7,151m (7,162). Revenue during the fourth quarter decreased to 1,820 (2,018), which is due to the low level of transferred land to projects during the quarter. Operating profit increased to SEK 1,438m (1,295). The operating margin increased to 20.1 percent (18.1).
Cash flow during the year is in balance taking into consideration the increase in development properties.
Production was started in the fourth quarter on 324 residential units in apartment buildings in Huddinge, Upplands Bro, Österåker and Järfälla.
During the fourth quarter, JM purchased building rights corresponding to about 460 homes in Stockholm and Sundbyberg.

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.
Average prices on the existing home market decreased at different rates in all markets in the business segment during the fourth quarter, and the supply in some local markets increased.
Competition for land for housing is tough. Interest in JM's projects is stable, and customers' willingness to sign a contract early in the process is at a normal level.
Business segment revenue increased to SEK 4,309m (3,820), and operating profit increased to SEK 669m (480). The operating margin increased to 15.5 percent (12.6). The profit and the margin improved as a result of strong demand and an increase in prices in recent years.
Cash flow during the year is in balance, at the same time as it was burdened by greater holdings of development properties.
Production was started in the fourth quarter on 360 residential units in apartment buildings and single-family homes in Gothenburg, Uppsala, Malmö and Linköping.
During the fourth quarter, JM purchased building rights corresponding to 150 homes in Uppsala and Partille.

JM CONSTRUCTION
The JM Construction business segment carries out construction work for external and internal customers in the Greater Stockholm area. As of 2018, the contracting operations conducted in Norway are reported in the JM Construction business segment.
Demand in the contracting market in Stockholm is at a good level and customers are displaying a good willingness to invest.

Orders are good in the business segment with a large number of projects in current production.

ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
This year-end report and interim report for the fourth quarter 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 the description on pages 68-71 of the 2016 Annual Report with the exception of the reclassification of project funding in JM International. Project funding was previously reported against costs incurred in the balance sheet item "Work in progress", but as of the third quarter 2017 it is being reported as an interest-bearing and non-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 the Group's 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 been following the work with the new standard for revenue recognition for a long time. The company has met with representatives of IASB on a number of occasions and conducted regular evaluations of 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. using the percentage of completion method.
With regard to corresponding business in Norway and Finland,
PARENT COMPANY
CONDENSED INCOME STATEMENT, PARENT COMPANY
the assessment is made that there is no entitlement to payment, which means that, in the same manner as 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 does not introduce any change to JM's current revenue recognition principles.
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 material.

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 project development of commercial premises and contract work, primarily in the Greater Stockholm area.

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.
