CONTINUED GOOD PROFITABILITY IN THE PROJECT DEVELOPMENT OF RESIDENTIAL UNITS

"We started 2019 the way we ended 2018, with stable development for the housing business in both Sweden and the international operations despite a cautious market in Sweden and primarily in Stockholm. The housing market in Stockholm continues to be affected by the stricter amortization requirements and the banks' more conservative approach to lending to home buyers.

In addition, a large supply of newly produced residential units in Stockholm continues to have a slow-down effect.

A gradual stabilization of the market and good sales initiatives resulted in continued growth in reservations and sales in Stockholm, with 238 residential units sold compared to 117 in the same period last year. Housing starts in Stockholm 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 400 residential units in Stockholm, including a rental unit project, where housing starts have been delayed pending municipal decisions. The conditions are also considered to be good for a clearly higher number of housing starts during the remainder of the year, with a good number of reservations in forthcoming housing projects and where municipal decisions are less of a restriction.

The housing operations in the rest of Sweden show good profitability in a primarily stable market with good 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. The low level of housing starts in JM International is in line with the annual plan, with an increasing number of housing starts during the year, predominantly in the second half of 2019, assuming a stable market and stable planning conditions.

After review of the business unit JM Construction we concluded that the conditions were not in place for the stable and successful operation of JM Construction's Swedish housing business. The decision was therefore made to discontinue the housing operations within JM Construction. JM Construction's operations in Sweden will thereafter focus on civil engineering operations in their current form, where there are clear synergies with JM's project development of residential

units. Unfortunately, the elimination of these operations will lead to the termination of employment and the recognition of a large one-off cost during the first quarter. We are very committed to taking the best care of our staff members who become redundant and ensure that ongoing projects will be turned over to our customers in a good way. The one-off cost in the quarter for the discontinuation amounts to SEK 180m. The net expense for completing the reorganization of JM Construction during the period 2019–2021 is expected to amount to SEK 30–50m, and realized gains occur gradually during the period.

We made several large acquisitions in Norway and Sweden during the quarter. An important acquisition in Drammen outside of Oslo was made of a property in the Gulskogen district located walking distance from the shopping center and with good public transit connections. The local planning has been finalized and allows development of 230 residential units. In Trondheim we acquired a property in a major development area, Granås Öst, and the finalized local planning allows for the development of 170 residential units. In Stockholm, we signed an agreement for the acquisition of properties on the island of Stora Essingen. The deal is conditional on finalized local planning, which is expected 2022 at the earliest. The planned project includes 230 residential units.

During the quarter, one of the projects we started was the Bofinken project in the center of Kallhäll, Järfälla, with 68 residential units. In a small-town environment next to Lake Mälaren, close to the commuter train to downtown Stockholm. In Hyllie, Malmö, we started the Hyllie Söderläge project with 44 senior residential units in an area with a good service offering. Both projects are located close to green areas and have good connections to public transport.

With well-planned design and high housing quality, we deliver homes with a high level of customer satisfaction. JM is once again at the top of the list of companies with the housing industry's most satisfied customers, in both Norway and Sweden. More great news is that Prognoscentret's industry rating in 2018 shows that we also score well within the areas of reliability and service.

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."

Johan Skoglund, President and CEO

MARKET, SALES AND HOUSING STARTS JANUARY – MARCH 2019

The housing market in Stockholm is cautious, but stabilization continued in the first quarter. 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 primarily stable market.

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 667 (480) 1). The percentage of sold or reserved homes in relation to current production amounts to 61 percent (61), with an interval of 60–65 percent considered normal. This percentage increased from 57 percent in the fourth quarter. JM Residential Stockholm sold 238 residential units (117), JM Residential Sweden

sold 243 (244), JM International sold 186 (119) and JM Property Development sold 0 (0).

The number of housing starts amounted to 406 (570) 2), where housing starts in the first quarter were lower than in the fourth quarter, 406 and 1,038 residential units, respectively. In the first quarter, no rental apartments were started compared to 192 in the fourth quarter. JM Residential Stockholm started production on 89 residential units (215), JM Residential Sweden on 271 (286), JM International on 46 (69) and JM Property Development on 0 (0).

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 7,842 (7,672), of which 593 are rental units and residential care units (553).

FINANCIAL ITEMS

JANUARY – MARCH 2019

Net financial items are slightly lower than the previous year, primarily due to increase in interest-bearing debt.

Total interest-bearing loans according to segment reporting amounted to SEK 2,280m (1,820), of which the provision for the pension liability comprised SEK 1,421m (1,264). At the end of the first quarter, the average interest rate for the total interest-bearing loan stock including pension liabilities was 2.5 percent (2.5). The average term for fixed-rate loans excluding the pension liability was 0.2 years (0.2).

Consolidated available liquidity was SEK 4,950m (5,364). Aside from cash and cash equivalents of SEK 2,150m (2,564), 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 3.8 years (2.4).

Interest-bearing net liabilities in accordance with segment reporting amounted to SEK 130m (–748) at the end of the period. Non-interest-bearing liabilities for completed property acquisitions amounted to SEK 1,494m (1,375). Of these liabilities, SEK 725m (675) were current.

CASH FLOW JANUARY – MARCH 2019

Cash flow from operating activities according to segment reporting was SEK 468m (–18) during the first quarter. Net investments in development properties resulted in a cash flow of SEK –83m (–318). The reduced holdings of repurchased residential units resulted in a cash flow of SEK 95m (–13). Consolidated cash flow attributable to project properties (sales minus investment) during the first quarter was SEK –107m (–118). Cash flow was strengthened by a payment of SEK 320m for an outstanding accounts receivable according to a signed settlement agreement.

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.

OUTSTANDING SHARES

The number of outstanding shares on March 31, 2019, amounts to 69,583,262. The Company holds no treasury shares.

PERSONNEL

The number of employees at the end of the first quarter was 2,645 (2,570). The number of wage-earners was 1,052 (1,002), and the number of salaried employees was 1,593 (1,568). 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.

The average prices on the existing home market did not change during the first quarter. The supply of homes continued to be high, particularly in some local markets.

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 be cautious during the first quarter, particularly with regard to new production. 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 is below normal levels but has gradually improved. 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 first 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 municipal 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 are also considered to be good for a clearly higher number of housing starts during the remainder of the year, considering a good number of reservations in forthcoming housing projects and that municipal decisions are less of a restriction in a number of these projects.

Business segment revenue amounted to SEK 1,435m (1,475). Operating profit decreased to SEK 229m (274). The lower revenue and profit in the first quarter is due to lower sales and a lower number of housing starts during the past year. The operating margin decreased to 16.0 percent (18.6).

Cash flow in the first quarter was strengthened by the sale of residential units in the balance sheet.

During the first quarter, production was started on a total of 68 residential units in Järfälla and 21 single-family homes in Solna. A total of 230 building rights were acquired contingent on 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 first quarter.

The supply on certain local markets continues to be large. Competition for land for residential purposes has eased slightly. Interest in JM's projects is stable, and customers' willingness to sign a contract early in the process is at a normal level.

The business segment's revenue decreased to SEK 1,110m (1,269), and operating profit decreased to SEK 180m (213). The operating margin decreased to 16.2 percent (16.8).

Profit and the margin decreased but are stable given current demand and prices.

Cash flow during the first quarter is burdened by increased holdings in development properties.

During the first quarter, production started on a total of 271 residential units, of which 241 were in apartment buildings in Gothenburg, Lund and Malmö and 30 were single-family homes in Helsingborg.

During the first quarter, 400 building rights were acquired in Uppsala, Gothenburg, Kungsbacka and Malmö.

JM International

The JM International business segment develops residential projects in Norway and Finland. Operations include acquisitions of development properties, planning, pre-construction, production and sales of residential units. Revenue recognition for the business segment is reported using the percentage of completion method.

The business segment's revenue increased to SEK 860m (710), and operating profit increased to SEK 98m (53). The operating margin increased to 11.4 percent (7.5). The profit includes SEK 38m (11) from the sale of two properties in Norway. The margin excluding profit from the sale of property amounted to 7.0 percent (5.9).

During the first quarter, production began on 46 residential units (69). The low level of housing starts is in line with the annual plan, with an increasing number of housing starts during the year, predominantly 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 first quarter.

NORWAY

The price level on the existing home market in Norway increased slightly in the first quarter. Supply has been large, and the activity level has been high.

JM Norway's revenue increased to SEK 721m (604), and operating profit was SEK 89m (50). The operating margin increased to 12.3 percent (8.3). In the first quarter, two properties were sold in Skien and Röyken Municipality.

Business segment revenue decreased to SEK 312m (698), of which the operations in Norway decreased to SEK 99m (144), and operating profit decreased to SEK –189m (0).

Review of JM Construction led to the conclusion that the conditions are not in place for the stable and successful operation of JM Construction's Swedish housing business. JM's Board has therefore decided to discontinue the Swedish housing operations that build residential and commercial properties primarily for external customers. The business unit will thereafter focus on civil engineering operations in Sweden in their current form, where there are clear synergies with JM's project development of residential units. The operations will start to be phased out immediately and will result in the termination of employment of around 60 employees, with gradual termination and expenses of SEK 180m for staff lay-offs, support measures in current projects, delay costs and negative valuation effects in the projects to be closed in 2019 and 2020. The estimated expenses are recognized in full in the first quarter. At the same time, sales of properties and

some operations are being initiated within JM Construction that based on a current assessment are estimated to generate realized gains of around SEK 140m for the period 2019–2021. The net expense for the completed reorganization of JM Construction is thus estimated to amount to SEK 30–50m. Some project risks will remain until the ongoing projects are completed.

Cash flow was strengthened due to a settled accounts receivable with payment received of SEK 320m according to a signed settlement agreement and burdened by an increase in working capital.

The business segment received a number of civil engineering assignments during the first quarter, of which the largest was land and engineering work to renovate Östra Finnbodavägen for Nacka Municipality. The largest ongoing projects are groundwork in the Stockholm Norvik goods harbor in Nynäshamn (Ports of Stockholm), new production of apartment buildings in Norra Djurgårdsstaden (HSB and Riksbyggen) and new production of apartment buildings in Tyresö (Småa and Riksbyggen). The largest ongoing project in the Norwegian operations is a commercial building in Oslo (Olav Thon Group).

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 quarter 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 1 January 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 in all material respects will be 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 Q1 2019 has resulted in one right-of-use asset and one lease liability in the balance sheet of around SEK 516m 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 Q1 2019 is presented in the following table.

IFRS 16 is not applied in the segment reporting.

ACCORDING TO IFRS, SEK M 2019
Production and operating costs 6
Selling and administrative expenses –2
Operating profit 4
Financial income and expenses –5
Profit/loss before tax –1

Current assets 278 266
Total assets 553 516
Equity - –1
Non-current interest-bearing liabilities 553 511
Current interest-bearing liabilities - 6

OTHER CHANGES TO IFRS

Other changed IFRS standards applied as of 2019 have 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 according to IAS 11.

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.

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.
