A WORD FROM THE CEO

STABLE DEVELOPMENT DURING THE THIRD QUARTER

We have had a good trend in the housing business during the third quarter, which started cautiously due to COVID-19. Sales developed positively in all of our markets, which also made possible a good level of housing starts. Not least have our digital solutions in our customer interface worked very well. Both cash flow and production capacity were well maintained during the quarter. Norway and Finland also recovered in terms of demand. The supply of newly produced residential units on the market decreased in the third quarter of 2020 in both Stockholm and the rest of Sweden at the same time as the transaction volume increased. The transaction volume increased on the total housing market in Sweden as well. Prices remained at a good level or increased slightly.

We assess the underlying demand for housing to continue to be good on our markets. The reservation and sales levels are high in the projects that will be completed in 2020 in all our markets. This continues to create good conditions for maintaining production and a stable cash flow during the remainder of the year. Assuming a stable market, we assess that we can reach the same number of housing starts in the fourth quarter as in the third quarter, where international operations continue to represent a large share. Housing starts for the remainder of 2020 will be influenced primarily by the approval of local planning.

GOOD RESERVATION AND SALES LEVELS IN CURRENT PRODUCTION IN STOCKHOLM

We have seen a clear recovery in demand from customers in Stockholm in the third quarter after an earlier negative impact from COVID-19. We continue to experience good demand for the freehold apartments we have in current production.

Reservation and sales levels in Stockholm have been strong with 299 residential units sold in the third quarter compared to 220 in the second quarter.

The housing business in Stockholm continued to have good profitability and a stable level of housing starts during the quarter. At the same time, staff has been reduced somewhat due to lower current production volumes in relation to a few years ago.

GOOD SALES AND GOOD LEVEL OF HOUSING STARTS IN THE REST OF SWEDEN, NORWAY AND FINLAND

The housing business in the rest of Sweden showed good profitability, sales and housing starts during the third quarter. The market was less affected by COVID-19 than Stockholm and continued to have good demand throughout the quarter.

In Norway, activity on the housing market recovered in the third quarter in relation to the previous cautiousness attributable to COVID-19. Staffing is in balance after adjustments made in the second quarter.

The housing market also recovered in Finland, where the number of sold residential units and housing starts were boosted by the completed sale of property in blocks to investors.

REDUCED UNCERTAINTY CONNECTED TO COVID-19

COVID-19 and its aftereffects created uncertainty and risks during the second quarter, where JM remains strong in terms of both its business model and its financial position. Demand has clearly improved during the third quarter, and the percentage of reserved and sold residential units in current production continues to be at a good level and is even higher for projects that will be completed in 2020. This, combined with very limited disruptions in terms of staffing and supplier chains, means that the risk level in JM's business is judged to have decreased in the third quarter. At the same time we have contingency plans in place in the event the COVID-19 situation were to deteriorate. The business is aligned on an ongoing basis within the framework of our business model, which has good adaptability.

GOOD PROJECT PORTFOLIO AND STRONG FINANCIAL POSITION

We are well-positioned with a good project portfolio that is continuously developed for the housing of the future at the same time as our strong financial position allows us freedom of action. The fundamental and long-term conditions continue to be favorable for a positive development of our business. I am also very pleased that we can now see our ambition through and propose an extraordinary general meeting to resolve on payment of an additional SEK 6.25 per share for 2019 to our shareholders.

Johan Skoglund, President and CEO

"Demand has clearly improved during the third quarter, and the percentage of reserved and sold resedential units in current production continues to be at a good level."

MARKET, SALES AND HOUSING STARTS

JANUARY–SEPTEMBER 2020

The housing market in Stockholm has clearly recovered during the third quarter with an increase in the level of residential units sold. Profitability continued to be good, and housing starts in the quarter have a normal level of reservations.

The housing business in the rest of Sweden showed good profitability with good sales and housing starts in a market that was relatively stable.

In Norway, activity on the housing market increased during the quarter. The housing market recovered in Finland as well.

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 decreased to 2,403 (2,654)1) 2) with JM Residential Stockholm and JM Residential Sweden increasing their sales. The percentage of sold and reserved homes in relation to current production amounts to 71 percent (66), with an interval of 60–65 percent considered normal.

RESIDENTIAL BUILDING RIGHTS JANUARY–SEPTEMBER 2020

The number of available building rights at the end of the third quarter increased to 37,900 (36,400), of which 21,100 (21,600) are recognized in the balance sheet. The increase in available building rights is primarily attributable to JM Finland. Capital tied up in building rights (development properties in the balance sheet) for residential units decreased to SEK 8,392m (9,142).

JM acquired development properties for residential units during the first nine months of the year for SEK 773m (1,460), of which SEK 396m relates to JM Residential Stockholm, SEK 272m to JM Residential Sweden and SEK 105m to JM International.

FINANCIAL ITEMS JANUARY–SEPTEMBER 2020

Net financial items improved somewhat compared to the previous year attributable to lower average interest-bearing liabilities and lower average interest rates.

The total interest-bearing liability according to segment reporting was SEK 2,723m (2,906), of which the provision for pension liabilities comprised SEK 1,729m (1,747). At the end of the third quarter, the average interest rate for the total interest-bearing loan stock including pension liabilities was 1.7 percent (2.6). The average term for fixed-rate loans excluding the pension liability was 0.3 years(0.2).

Consolidated available liquidity was SEK 5,114m (4,755). Aside from cash and cash equivalents of SEK 2,314m (1,955), 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 2.6 years (3.6).

Interest-bearing net liabilities including pension liabilities according to segment reporting totaled SEK 409m (951) at the end of the period. Non-interest-bearing liabilities for completed property acquisitions amounted to SEK 743m (1,032). Of these liabilities, SEK 64m (234) were current.

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

CASH FLOW JANUARY–SEPTEMBER 2020

Cash flow from operating activities according to segment reporting was SEK 427m (817). Net investments in development properties resulted in a positive cash flow of SEK 193m (–663). The increased holdings of repurchased residential units resulted in a cash flow of SEK –182m (171).

Cash flow from operating activities was SEK –165m (446) during the third quarter. Net investments in development properties resulted in a cash flow of SEK –149m (–306), where payments for previously acquired development properties amounts to around SEK 400m. The decreased holdings of repurchased residential units resulted in a cash flow of SEK 81m (–55). Consolidated cash flow attributable to project properties (sales minus investment) amounted to SEK –121m (779).

RISKS AND UNCERTAINTY FACTORS

JM's risks and risk management are presented in the 2019 Annual Report on pages 32–35 and 79. Aside from the uncertainty from COVID-19, no significant changes have occurred that have affected these reported risks.

COVID-19 and its effects have created uncertainty and risks for some time. However, JM stands strong in terms of both its business model and its finances. The percentage of reserved and sold residential units in current production is at a good level, and is even higher for projects that will be completed in 2020. This, together with very limited disruptions so far in terms of staffing and supplier chains, presents possibilities for keeping the business reasonably stable even during a period of a weaker market, and the risks are judged to have decreased during the third quarter. At the same time we have contingency plans in place in the event the COVID-19 situation were to deteriorate.

JM's strategy during the COVID-19 period is to safeguard cash flows and production capacity.

OUTSTANDING SHARES

The number of outstanding shares amounted to 69,583,262 (69,583,262). The company has no holdings of treasury shares.

ADDITIONAL DIVIDEND IN 2020

The Board of Directors changed the original proposal of a dividend totaling SEK 12.50 per share to a dividend of SEK 6.25, which was resolved by the Annual General Meeting on March 26, 2020. The Board now intends to convene an extraordinary general meeting to be held on November 23, 2020 to propose an additional dividend for 2019 of SEK 6.25 per share according to JM's previously announced ambition.

PERSONNEL

The number of employees at the end of the third quarter decreased to 2,567 (2,637). The number of wage-earners was 996 (1,042), and the number of salaried employees was 1,571 (1,595). Current staffing is aligned with the current and increasing project volume, and adjustments are made on a regular basis. Demand on the labor market for qualified project development skills continues to be strong but has decreased slightly.

Production began in the third quarter on the Facetten project, with 65 residential units, next to the Fridhemsplan subway station in downtown Stockholm. The residential units, which will be freehold apartments, are close to the water and will be split between two faceted seven-story buildings joined by a private, lush courtyard.

JM is building an apartment complex in the heart of the Myyrmäki district, and with its 16 floors it will become a new landmark in the area. The 121 residential units of varying size will have glassed-in balconies and offer accommodation close to the city with excellent public transportation alternatives into Helsinki.

1) Total cash flow for the period 1) According to segment reporting

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 increased during the third quarter. The total supply of residential units increased during the first part of the quarter, but normalized toward the end of the quarter. The supply of newly produced tenant-owned apartments has decreased.

Competition and supply of well-situated land for residential purposes is considered to be normal. However, prices of building rights are still at a level that requires selective acquisition.

The housing market in Stockholm has improved during the third quarter. Customers are showing strong interest in JM's projects and sales have continued to develop favorably. The willingness of customers to sign contracts early has improved and has returned to a normal level.

No extraordinary measures have been needed during the quarter due to COVID-19. Risks related to COVID-19 are judged to have decreased during the quarter.

Profitability continued to be good, and housing starts in the third quarter have a normal level of reservations. Revenue in the third quarter was strengthened by a high level of transferred land to projects.

JM's staffing is aligned on a regular basis based on current project volume. Since the number of residential units in current production within JM Residential Stockholm has decreased over the past few years, it has been necessary to make some adjustments in staffing. The improved demand for our residential units means that the adjustment has been smaller than the recent years' decrease in production. JM's strategy to safeguard production capacity remains.

Cash flow for the nine-month period is in balance overall.

Production was started in the third quarter on a total of 252 residential units in apartment buildings in Stockholm.

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.

The average prices on the existing home market primarily remained the same in the third quarter with the exception of the university cities Lund, Linköping and Uppsala, where prices rose.

The supply of new production in the third quarter decreased in most of the submarkets in the business segment compared to the second quarter. The supply of newly produced homes in Uppsala and Malmö is significantly lower, and in Gothenburg the supply is somewhat lower compared to the corresponding period last year.

Competition for land for residential purposes was high during the third quarter in some areas and decreased slightly in some local submarkets.

Interest in JM's projects was stable in the third quarter with good sales, and customers' willingness to sign a contract early in the process continues to be at a normal level.

No extraordinary measures have been needed during the quarter due to COVID-19. Risks related to COVID-19 are judged to have decreased during the quarter.

Profit and the margin decrease slightly where demand and prices vary on each local market. Revenue in the third quarter was dampened by a low level of transferred land to projects.

Cash flow during the nine-month period is burdened by an increase in working capital and development properties.

Production was started in the third quarter on 285 residential units in apartment buildings in Lund, Gothenburg and Uppsala.

During the third quarter, JM purchased approximately 50 building rights in Gothenburg.

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.

Business segment revenue is at the same level as previous year. The profit and the margin excluding the sale of property amounted to SEK 139m (201) and 5.3 percent (7.3). The lower profit is primarily due to an adjustment to the Norwegian operations in the second quarter of 2020 to lower the cost level. Revenue in the third quarter was dampened by a low level of transferred land to projects.

Cash flow was strengthened during the nine-month period due to a decrease in development properties.

Current projects with completion in 2020 have a high sales ratio, which supports profitability and cash flow, and the risks related to COVID-19 are judged to have decreased during the quarter.

NORWAY

Prices on the existing home market have been increasing during the third quarter, and the activity level has been high. The market has recovered as the restrictions from COVID-19 have been gradually lifted.

JM Norway's revenue decreased to SEK 1,910m (2,276), and operating profit decreased to SEK 92m (208), including profit from property sales of SEK 1m (38). The operating margin decreased to 4.8 percent (9.1).

The operating profit and the operating margin were strengthened during the third quarter after the adjustment in the second quarter.

During the third quarter, 171 residential units (136) were sold, and production started on 58 residential units (175). Housing starts consist of 58 residential units in apartment buildings in Os outside of Bergen.

The number of residential units in current production amounted to 1,206 (1,158). During the third quarter, no building rights (108) were acquired. Available building rights correspond to 8,500 residential units (8,100).

FINL AND

Prices on the housing market in the Helsinki region have recovered during the third quarter, and activity has been high. The willingness of customers to convert reservations to contracts was at a normal level in the quarter.

During the third quarter, 236 residential units (49) were sold, and production started on 260 residential units (55). Housing starts consist of residential units in apartment buildings in Helsinki and

Esbo. Of the housing starts and sold residential units, 101 residential units went to investors, which strengthened profit in the third quarter.

The number of residential units in current production amounted to 927 (601). During the third quarter, 222 building rights (1,000) were acquired. Available building rights correspond to 5,400 residential units (4,000).

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 decreased to SEK 112m (187), of which rental income was SEK 60m (68). Contracting revenue and sales of services amounted to SEK 52m (119). Operating profit amounted to SEK 0m (191).

The operating profit is burdened by startup and development costs for the new business operations, JM@home.

Net rental income for project properties was SEK 43m (46).

Cash flow during the nine-month period is negative due to ongoing investments in project properties.

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

The portfolio of rental units includes three fully rented and

occupied projects: Tjärtunnan in Stockholm with 187 rental units, Alphyddan in Nacka with 93 rental units, and Alba Lilium in Stockholm with 137 rental units.

The rental project Valla Park in Sundbyberg (Sundbyberg Lådmakaren 4), with 143 rental units, was sold in 2019 and the legal title will be transferred upon the planned completion date in 2022. Revenue and profit are recognized gradually as the project is implemented.

An additional two rental projects in JM's own balance sheet continue to be either in production or rented: Manegen, Täby, 128 rental units with occupancy in 2020, and the project Havreflingan 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 the Greater Stockholm area.

Demand in the civil engineering market in Stockholm is at a good level. Business segment revenue excluding Business area Construction decreased due to lower activity in the civil engineering operations.

The operating profit includes gains from property sales of SEK 18m (46).

The loss in 2019 of –141m was primarily due to the discontinuation of the housing operations.

Some project risks remain until current projects in Business area Construction are completed.

Cash flow in the nine-month period is burdened by an increase in working capital.

In the third quarter, the business segment received a number of assignments in the civil engineering operations, of which the largest is the ground- and foundationworks for new apartment buildings in Sundbyberg for the JM Residential Stockholm business unit.

The largest ongoing external assignments are groundworks in the Stockholm Norvik goods harbor in Nynäshamn (Ports of Stockholm), infrastructure projects in Tyresö and Orminge (Tyresö Municipality and Nacka Municipality, respectively), groundworks for Arlanda Terminal 5 (IN3PRENÖR AB), and the new production of apartment buildings in Norra Djurgårdsstaden (Riksbyggen). The business segment also has several ongoing internal projects.

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 in/out payments, and when the debt is settled the cash flow statement is not affected, either as a negative item (amortization) in the financing activities or as a positive item in the operating activities.

ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES

This interim report for the nine-month period of 2020 has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. The consolidated accounts have been 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 86–89 of the 2019 Annual Report.

NEW AND AMENDED STANDARDS AS OF 2020

The amended standards according to IFRS the Group applies as of January 1, 2020, are expected to have no or a small impact on JM's financial reporting.

SEGMENT REPORTING

JM's segment reporting primarily 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 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

The report for the first six months of 2020 included a description of the ongoing investigation and Finansinspektionen's (FI) decision on 20 May 2020, following which the tenant-owner associations that JM develops may not be considered independent from an IFRS perspective and therefore for accounting purposes must be consolidated in JM's consolidated financial statements.

JM does not share FI's assessment, and even if a change in the accounting will not affect JM's segment reporting, project governance or risk profile, JM considers it to be of principle importance for the matter to be further assessed by a court of law. JM has therefore appealed FI's decision to the Administrative Court at the beginning of June 2020. The process to reach a final ruling is judged to potentially take several years.

In the annual reports for 2018 and 2019, JM provided disclosures regarding effects on earnings, equity and the tenantowners associations' liabilities in the event that the tenant-owners associations would be consolidated. JM intends to continue to provide such disclosures.

REVIEW REPORT JM AB (PUBL), CORPOR ATE IDENTITY NUMBER 556045-2103

INTRODUCTION

We have reviewed the condensed interim financial information (interim report) of JM AB as of September 30, 2019 and the ninemonth period then ended. The board of directors and the CEO are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the interim financial information in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. 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.

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 15 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.
