IMPROVED DEMAND FOR JM'S RESIDENTIAL UNITS IN STOCKHOLM

The development in the housing business in both Sweden and the foreign operations continued to be positive. The large supply of newly produced residential units on the market has fallen in 2019 in both Stockholm and the rest of Sweden. The transaction volume also increased clearly in the second quarter.

The housing market in Stockholm continued to be affected

by the stricter amortization requirements and the banks' more conservative approach to lending to home buyers. We are also seeing an improvement in demand for JM's residential units from customer groups in Stockholm that have good purchasing power. In particular, we have very good demand for the freehold apartments we introduced on the market and also started to produce during the second quarter. The gradual stabilization of the market has resulted in continued positive developments in reservations and sales in Stockholm, both in relation to the previous quarter and the previous year, with 268 sold residential units during the second quarter compared to 225 the same period the previous year. Housing starts were supported by a normal level of reservations, where profitability continued to be good in current production volumes despite price adjustments in a number of projects. We have projects for around 250 residential units in Stockholm, where housing starts are delayed pending government decisions. Nontheless, conditions are considered to be good for a substantially higher level of housing starts during the second half of the year, in line with the rate in the second quarter, where we have good level of reservations in forthcoming projects.

The housing operations in the rest of Sweden show good profitability in a market that continues to be stable with good level of sales during the quarter.

In Norway, the level of activity on the housing market was good, and the housing market in Finland was stable during the quarter. In line with the annual plan, we have had a significantly higher level of housing starts within the foreign operations during the second quarter compared to the first quarter. We still make the assessment that the number of housing starts will increase in the second half of 2019, assuming a stable market and stable planning conditions.

Some additional news that is very pleasing is that we sold three rental properties at the start of the third quarter. Two properties, one on Lidingö and one in Täby, are completed, and construction began on the third in Sundyberg during the second quarter, with occupancy planned for Q2 2022. The strong interest in these properties confirms both the strong market for rental apartments and the quality of the homes we develop in-house.

The redirection of the operations in JM Construction is progressing according to plan, and I am very satisfied that we sold two plots of land during the quarter at the expected price based on the schedule set for 2019-2021.

As a long-term housing developer, we continue to acquire land for future production. One large acquisition was for a property in Røa, Oslo. The transaction is conditional on finalized local planning, which is expected to occur in 2023 at the earliest. We have the opportunity here to develop 300 residential units in an established housing area, walking distance to services and the subway.

During the second quarter, we started construction on, among others, the K7 project with 184 freehold apartments at Liljeholmskajen in Stockholm. Most of the residential units JM develops are tenantowned apartments in apartment buildings, but freehold apartments allow us to offer yet another form of tenure and reach new customer groups. Freehold apartments are a common form of tenure outside of Sweden, and they offer the possibility for legal entities to purchase apartments. JM has two additional projects under way with freehold apartments in Sweden, one on Lidingö and one in Uppsala, and we are seeing greater interest for this form of tenure.

Housing starts for tenant-owned apartment projects include Soluret, Älvsjö, which with 102 residential units is one of the largest. Soluret is quality assessed in accordance with Trygg BRF which is an industry initiative in Sweden to strengthen consumer protection on the tenant-owned apartment market, and JM supports this initiative.

We are well-positioned with a good project portfolio that is regularly developed for the housing of the future at the same time as our strong financial position allows us freedom of action.

The conditions are good for continued positive development within our housing business, and the improvement on the housing market in Stockholm is particularly good news. I am cautiously optimistic about the fall, and I wish everyone a wonderful summer.

Johan Skoglund, President and CEO

MARKET, SALES AND HOUSING STARTS JANUARY – JUNE 2019

The housing market in Stockholm continued to improve during the first half of the year. Housing starts in Stockholm were supported by a normal level of reservations, and profitability continued to be good in the current production volume.

The housing operations in the rest of Sweden are showing good profitability in a market that is primarily stable.

In Norway, the level of activity on the housing market was good with a slight increase in prices, and the housing market in Finland was stable. The geographic scope of JM's housing business is gradually expanding.

Population growth in our main markets, coupled with continued low interest rates, supports demand for housing.

The number of residential units sold in the form of signed contracts increased to 1,548 (1,099)1). The percentage of sold or reserved homes in relation to current production amounts to 62 percent (58), with an interval of 60–65 percent considered normal. This percentage increased from 61 percent in the first quarter. JM Residential Stockholm sold 506 residential units (342), JM Residential Sweden sold 487 (451), JM International sold 555 (306) and JM Property Development sold 0 (0).

Housing starts amounted to 1,365 (1,417) 2). JM Residential Stockholm started production on 375 residential units (455), JM Residential Sweden on 515 (553), JM International on 332 (281) and JM Property Development on 143 (128).

Of the started and sold residential units in JM International, 182 units in Finland were sold as rental units.

In addition to demand, planning processes continue to be an important condition for the rate of housing starts.

The number of residential units in current production increased to 7,829 (7,814), of which 736 are rental units and residential care units (681).

FINANCIAL ITEMS

JANUARY – JUNE 2019

Net financial items are slightly lower than the previous year, primarily due to a larger average interest-bearing loan.

Total interest-bearing loans according to segment reporting amounted to SEK 2,323m (2,323), of which the provision for the pension liability comprised SEK 1,507m (1,306). At the end of the second quarter, the average interest rate for the total interest-bearing loan stock including pension liabilities was 2.5 percent (2.4). The average term for fixed-rate loans excluding the pension liability was 0.2 years (0.2).

Consolidated available liquidity was SEK 3,968m (4,878). Aside from cash and cash equivalents of SEK 1,168m (2,078), 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 3.5 years (3.5).

Interest-bearing net liabilities in accordance with segment reporting amounted to SEK 1,155m (240) at the end of the period. Non-interest-bearing liabilities for completed property acquisitions amounted to SEK 1,196m (1,405). Of these liabilities, SEK 426m (719) were current.

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

CASH FLOW JANUARY – JUNE 2019

Cash flow from operating activities according to segment reporting was SEK 371m (–222) during the first six months. Net investments in development properties resulted in a cash flow of SEK –357m (–573). The reduced holdings of repurchased residential units resulted in a cash flow of SEK 226m (–13). Consolidated cash flow attributable to project properties (sales minus investment) during the first six months was SEK –229m (–234). Cash flow was strengthened by a payment of SEK 320m received during the first quarter for an outstanding accounts receivable in accordance with a settlement agreement.

APRIL – JUNE 2019

Cash flow from operating activities was SEK –97m (–204) during the second quarter. Net investments in development properties resulted in a cash flow of SEK –274m (–255). The reduced holdings of repurchased residential units resulted in a cash flow of SEK 131m (0). Consolidated cash flow attributable to project properties (sales minus investment) during the second quarter was SEK –122m (–116). Increased operating capital had a negative impact on the cash flow.

EVENTS AFTER THE CLOSE OF THE REPORTING PERIOD

At the beginning of July 2019, JM signed an agreement for the sale of three rental unit properties in Stockholm for SEK 1,200m.

The properties that are being sold are the completed properties Lidingö Tryckregulatorn 2 and Täby Spaken 1, as well as Sundbyberg Lådmakaren 4 which entered into production in Q2 2019. They were part of several larger housing development projects by JM. In total, 376 residential units were sold. The sale of Lidingö Tryckregulatorn 2 and Täby Spaken 1 will be reported in the JM Property Development business segment in Q3 2019 with gains of SEK 170m.

The transfer of ownership for Lidingö Tryckregulatorn 2 and Täby Spaken 1 will occur in Q3 2019; for Sundbyberg Lådmakaren 4, the transfer is planned for Q2 2022. Approximately two-thirds of the remuneration will be received in Q3 2019 and the rest when ownership of Sundbyberg Lådmakaren 4 is transferred. Sundbyberg Lådmakaren 4 will be recognized under revenue and profit/loss gradually during the completion of the project under JM Property Development.

RISKS AND UNCERTAINTY FACTORS

JM's risks and risk management are presented in the 2018 Annual Report on pages 30-32 and 75. No significant changes have occurred to change these reported risks.

CONVERTIBLE PROGRAM

The 2019 Annual General Meeting resolved that JM would raise a debenture loan with a maximum value of SEK 160m by issuing a maximum of 700,000 convertible debentures with a maturity of four years targeting all employees in Sweden.

Upon expiry of the subscription period, the loan amounts to about SEK 33m through the issue of about 153,800 convertible debentures.

In accordance with IAS 32, the liability and equity components of the convertible debenture loan are reported separately, which means that the debenture loan is initially reported in the balance sheet as a liability with the nominal amount excluding the equity component.

The subscribed convertible bonds may be converted to shares at a price of SEK 212 between June 1, 2022 and April 21, 2023.

Through conversion, JM's share capital could increase by a maximum of SEK 154,000, which corresponds to a dilution of 0.2 percent of the shares and votes in the company. The convertible debenture loan was settled against cash in June 2019.

OUTSTANDING SHARES

The number of outstanding shares on June 30, 2019, amounts to 69,583,262 (69,583,262). The Company holds no treasury shares (1,476,421).

PERSONNEL

There were 2,635 (2,591) employees at the end of the first six months. The number of wage-earners was 1,045 (1,004), and the number of salaried employees was 1,590 (1,587). Current staffing is considered balanced for the current project volume, and some adjustments are made on a regular basis. Demand on the labor market is strong for qualified project development skills.

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.

Average prices on the existing home market did not change in the second quarter. The total supply of residential units continued to be high, but the supply of newly produced tenant-owned apartments decreased.

Competition for well-situated land for housing is judged to be relatively low at the same time as the supply of properties for housing development is relatively high. However, prices of building rights are still at a level that requires selective acquisition.

The housing market in Stockholm continued to improve during the second quarter. Customers are showing strong interest in JM's projects, and sales continued to improve. The willingness of customers to sign a contract early in the process has increased and is at a normal level. Residential units available for sale in the business segment largely have estimated occupancy in 2020/2021, and the majority in 2020.

Housing starts in Stockholm in the second quarter were supported by a normal reservation level, where profitability continues to be good in current production volumes despite price adjustments in a number of projects. In the past few quarters, the absence of necessary government decisions has had a negative effect on the business unit's housing starts. This currently affects three projects with a total

of 183 residential units, all with a high degree of reservations. Housing starts in forthcoming phases have also been indirectly delayed. The conditions continue to be good for a substantially higher number of housing starts during the second half of the year, given the strong number of reservations in forthcoming housing projects and that government decisions are less of a restriction in a number of these projects.

Business segment revenue decreased to SEK 2,765m (3,005). Operating profit decreased to SEK 445m (524). The lower revenue and profit in the first half of the year is due to the lower number of housing starts during the past year. Revenue in the quarter is also restricted by the very low level of land transferred to projects. The operating margin decreased to 16.1 percent (17.4).

Cash flow during the first six months is in balance considering the increase in development properties and payments made for previous property acquisitions.

During the second quarter, construction started on a total of 286 residential units in apartment buildings in Stockholm. In Danderyd, 90 building rights were acquired on the condition of finalized local planning.

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 were unchanged or demonstrated marginal fluctuations on the markets in the business segment during the second quarter.

The supply on certain local markets continues to be large. Competition for land for housing is tough in some areas in the business segment and has decreased somewhat on other local markets. Interest in JM's projects is stable with good sales, and customers' willingness to sign a contract early in the process is at a normal level.

Business segment revenue amounted to SEK 2,309m (2,334), and operating profit decreased to SEK 373m (394). The operating margin decreased to 16.2 percent (16.9).

Profit and the margin decreased slightly where demand and prices vary somewhat in each submarket.

Cash flow during the first half of the year is burdened by increased holdings in development properties and an increase in working capital.

During the second quarter, construction started on a total of 244 residential units, of which 207 were in apartment buildings in Örebro, Västerås and Uppsala and 37 were single-family homes in Staffanstorp. In the second quarter, 300 building rights were acquired in Lund and Gothenburg.

Business segment revenue increased to SEK 1,765m (1,574), and operating profit increased to SEK 164m (136). The operating margin increased to 9.3 percent (8.6). The margin excluding profit from the sale of property amounted to 7.1 percent (7.9).

During the first six months of the year, production started on 332 residential units (281), and we still make the assessment that the number of housing starts will increase in the second half of 2019, assuming a stable market and stable planning conditions.

A decrease in working capital had a positive impact on cash flow for the second quarter.

JM Property Development

The JM Property Development business segment primarily develops rental units, 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 management services to tenant-owners associations as well as housing services.

Business segment revenue increased to SEK 53m (30), of which rental income was SEK 45m (28). Operating profit was SEK 12m (1). The operating profit was burdened by start-up costs for the new business operations, JM@home.

Net rental income for project properties was SEK 30m (17).

Cash flow during the first six months is negative due to ongoing investments in project properties.

Within the Dalénum area on Lidingö, the occupancy rate for the remaining commercial buildings that will not be torn down is 91 percent. Within the Bolinder area in Kallhäll, Järfälla, the occupancy rate for the buildings that will not be torn down is 94 percent.

The portfolio of rental units includes three fully rented and occupied projects: Dalénum on Lidingö (Lidingö Tryckregulatorn 2), Tjärtunnan in Stureby and Alphyddan in Nacka.

In the second quarter, construction started on the rental project Valla Park in Sundbyberg (Sundbyberg Lådmakaren 4), consisting of 143 rental apartments. An additional four rental projects in JM's own balance sheet are either under construction or available for occupancy: the Spaken project in Hägernäs (Täby Spaken 1), 136 completed rental units with occupancy in 2019; the Alba Lilium project in Bredäng, Stockholm, 137 rental units with planned occupancy in 2019 and 2020; the Manegen project in Täby, 128 rental units with planned occupancy in 2020; and the Havreflingan project in Järfälla, 192 rental units with planned occupancy in 2021.

JM Construction

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

Demand in the civil engineering market in Stockholm is at a good level. Demand in the contracting market in Oslo is also good.

Business segment revenue decreased to SEK 862m (1,467), of which the operations in Norway decreased to SEK 161m (327), and operating profit decreased to SEK –155m (0).

A review of JM Construction during the first quarter led to a decision to discontinue the Swedish housing business through which housing and commercial properties were produced for primarily external customers. The business unit will thereafter focus on civil engineering operations in Sweden in their current form.

The discontinuation entails costs of SEK 180m, which were recognized in their entirety in Q1 2019. At the same time, JM has initiated the sale of properties within JM Construction. Some project risks will remain until the ongoing projects are completed.

In the second quarter, a property was sold in Gustavsberg in Värmdö Municipality, with gains of SEK 34m which is recognized in the second quarter.

Cash flow was strengthened due to a settled accounts receivable with payment received of SEK 320m in the first quarter, according to a signed settlement agreement, as well as a completed sale of property and an increase in working capital.

During the second quarter, the business segment received a number of assignments within its civil engineering operations, the largest of which is a cooperation agreement with Tyresö Municipality for several infrastructure projects over a period of around 10 years. The largest ongoing projects are groundwork in the Stockholm Norvik goods harbor in Nynäshamn (Ports of Stockholm), new construction of apartment buildings in Norra Djurgårdsstaden (HSB and Riksbyggen) and new construction of apartment buildings in Tyresö (Småa and Riksbyggen). The largest ongoing project in the Norwegian operations is the new production of apartment buildings in Eidsvoll Municipality north of Oslo (Øvre Romerike Boligutvikling AS).

3) JM sometimes recognizes initial project financing for Swedish residential projects where the financing is taken over by the customer at a later point in time. The take-over occurs without any incoming or

outgoing payments, and when the debt is settled there is no impact on the cash flow statement; there is neither a negative item (amortization) in the financing activities nor a positive item in the operating activities.

ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES

This interim report for the first six months of 2019 has been 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 82–85 of the 2018 Annual Report with the exception that IFRS 16 Leases is applied as of January 1, 2019.

JM APPLIES THE FOLLOWING NEW STANDARDS AS OF 2019 IFRS 16 LEASES

This standard replaces IAS 17 Leases and all related interpretations. It requires lessees to report assets and liabilities that are attributable to all lease contracts, with the exception of contracts that are shorter than 12 months and/or refer to small amounts. Reporting for lessors will in all material respects remain the same. JM uses the

simplified transition approach, which means that identified leases will not be restated retroactively. This means that comparative figures for periods prior to 2019 will not be affected. For JM, the new standard at the end of the first six months of 2019 has resulted in one right-of-use asset and one lease liability in the balance sheet of around SEK 526m each. These assets consist primarily of the rental of properties in which JM conducts its operations, the rental of the vehicles used in the operations and the rental of land.

Under the new standard, JM reports depreciation/amortization and interest rates related to lease contracts in the income statement, and payments are split in the cash flow between interest and amortization. The impact on JM's profit/loss and balance sheet for the first six months of 2019 is presented in the table on page 23.

IFRS 16 is not applied in the segment reporting.

OTHER CHANGES TO IFRS

Other changed IFRS standards applied as of 2019 had little or no impact on JM's financial reporting.

SEGMENT REPORTING

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

In addition, JM International's project financing, as well as part of the financing of JM Residential Stockholm and JM Residential Sweden, is 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 new 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.

ACCOUNTING FOR HOUSING DEVELOPMENT IN SWEDEN

In 2018, Nasdaq Stockholm AB (the Stock Exchange) sent questions to several housing developers regarding in part the basis for the assessment of whether tenant-owners associations are independent. The Stock Exchange's final decision sent to JM in December 2018 stated among other things that it is possible for different companies to reach different conclusions and that there are differences between the companies' operational, business and contractual structures, which may be considered to have an impact on this matter. The Stock Exchanges stated that JM does not consolidate the tenant-owners associations, that there was not enough transparency

surrounding the grounds on which JM has made this assessment and that there thus is no clear account of the facts and circumstances that led to JM's conclusion. The Stock Exchange thus criticized JM, and in the 2018 annual report JM provided expanded and clearer disclosures regarding these grounds. JM also announced that the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority, Finansinspektionen (FI), had informed JM that FI will investigate the matter.

In June 2019, FI communicated to JM its preliminary assessment that the tenant-owners associations are not independent and must thus be consolidated. As a result, revenue may not be recognized over time (gradually) but rather at the transfer of ownership to individual buyers of tenant-owned apartments. JM does not share FI's preliminary assessment, but rather still considers the tenant-owners associations to be independent and that they should not be consolidated. JM has submitted feedback regarding FI's preliminary assessment and is now monitoring the result of FI's continued investigation.

It is JM's opinion that a restatement is not required, but also notes that IFRS is a principle-based framework that often requires assessments. In complex matters like this, it is possible for different parties to make different assessments. The estimated effects of a potential restatement due to the consolidation of tenant-owners associations for full-year 2018 are described in the 2018 annual report. This type of change does not affect JM's segment reporting, project governance or the business's risk profile. JM considers segment reporting to most accurately reflect 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.

JM in brief

BUSINESS CONCEPT

With people in focus and through constant development, we create homes and sustainable living environments.

VISION

We are laying the foundations for a better life.

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

JM should promote long-term sustainability work in all its operations. Annual sales total approximately SEK 16 billion and the company has around 2,600 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.
