A WORD FROM THE CEO

STABLE DEVELOPMENT IN THE SECOND QUARTER GIVEN CAUTION LINKED TO COVID-19

Our residential business in Sweden has had a stable development during the second quarter given the circumstances surrounding COVID-19. Sales and housing starts are lower but still sufficient for adequately maintaining cash flow and production capacity during the quarter overall. There was more of a negative impact in Norway and Finland during the quarter, and some changes were made in the Norwegian operations to lower the cost level. The supply of newly produced residential units on the market increased slightly in the second quarter of 2020 in both Stockholm and the rest of Sweden at the same time as the transaction volume decreased. The transaction volume on the total housing market in Sweden increased in the second quarter. Prices remained at a good level.

The lower demand at the beginning of the second quarter has gradually improved during the quarter. We assess the underlying demand for housing to continue to be good on our markets. The reservation and sales levels continue to be high in the projects that will be completed in 2020 in all our markets. This presents opportunities for maintaining production and stable cash flow during this period of weaker demand, assuming continued stability in the staffing situation and supplier chains. If the market continues to improve, the conditions are in place for a higher level of housing starts during the second half of the year compared to the first half, primarily attributable to the international business.

GOOD RESERVATION AND SALES LEVELS IN CURRENT PRODUCTION IN STOCKHOLM

We have observed a slower decision process among customers in Stockholm during the second quarter due to COVID-19, but we have also had a gradual improvement throughout the quarter. We continue to experience good demand for the freehold apartments we have in current production. Despite the caution in the market, reservation and sales levels in Stockholm have been good, given the circumstances, with 220 residential units sold in the second quarter compared to 268 during the same period last year.

The housing operations in Stockholm continued to have good profitability and a good level of housing starts during the quarter given the circumstances surrounding COVID-19.

HIGH LEVEL OF RESERVED AND SOLD RESIDENTIAL UNITS IN PROJECTS TO BE COMPLETED IN 2020 IN THE REST OF SWEDEN, NORWAY AND FINLAND

The housing business in the rest of Sweden showed good profitability and, given the circumstances, good sales and housing starts during the second quarter. During the quarter, our customers in the rest of Sweden have also been cautious due to COVID-19, but the market was less impacted by COVID-19 than the market in Stockholm.

In Norway, activity on the housing market has been cautious during the second quarter due to COVID-19. This has required an adjustment in the staffing to meet current conditions.

In Finland, the housing market was also impacted clearly by COVID-19 at the same time as the business is supported by the possibility of selling residential units in blocks to investors.

The level of reserved and sold residential units in projects that will be completed in 2020 is high also in the rest of Sweden, Norway and Finland.

JM AND COVID-19

COVID-19 and its effects will create uncertainty and risks for a while. 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 it 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.

We have had a stable second quarter, given the circumstances, where JM's strategy for bridging the acute COVID-19 period continues to be to safeguard cash flows and production capacity. To date, the business is naturally dimensioned 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.

Johan Skoglund, President and CEO

"We have had a stable second quarter given the circumstances, where JM's strategy for bridging the acute COVID-19 period continues to be to safeguard cash flows and production capacity."

MARKET, SALES AND HOUSING STARTS

JANUARY–JUNE 2020

The housing market in Stockholm has been cautious during the second quarter with lower levels of sold residential units and housing starts. Profitability continued to be good given the lower sales level, and housing starts in the second 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 is relatively stable.

In Norway, the activity on the housing market decreased during the quarter, where the market has become more cautious. Also in Finland, the housing market has been cautious.

Customers on all markets have become more cautious since the end of March due to COVID-19.

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 1,447 (1,548) 1) 2). The percentage of sold or reserved homes in relation to current production amounts to 65 percent (62), with an interval of 60–65 percent considered normal.

RESIDENTIAL BUILDING RIGHTS

JANUARY – JUNE 2020

The number of available building rights at the end of the second quarter increased to 38,600 (36,500), of which 21,600 (21,200) 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 8,705m (8,952).

JM acquired development properties for residential units during the first six months of the year for SEK 670m (879), of which SEK 306m relates to JM Residential Stockholm, SEK 258m to JM Residential Sweden and SEK 106m to JM International.

FINANCIAL ITEMS JANUARY–JUNE 2020

Net financial items are stable compared to previous year, where higher average interest-bearing liabilities are offset by lower average interest rates.

The total interest-bearing liability according to segment reporting was SEK 2,819m (2,323), of which the provision for pension liabilities comprised SEK 1,720m (1,507). At the end of the second quarter, the average interest rate for the total interest-bearing loan stock including pension liabilities was 1.8 percent (2.5). The average term for fixed-rate loans excluding the pension liability was 0.4 years (0.2).

Consolidated available liquidity was SEK 5,372m (3,968). Aside from cash and cash equivalents of SEK 2,572m (1,168), 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 2.8 years (3.5).

Interest-bearing net liabilities including pension liabilities according to segment reporting totaled SEK 247m (1,155) at the end of the period. Non-interest-bearing liabilities for completed property acquisitions amounted to SEK 1,124m (1,196). Of these liabilities, SEK 373m (426) were current.

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

CASH FLOW JANUARY–JUNE 2020

Cash flow from operating activities according to segment reporting was SEK 592m (371). Net investments in development properties resulted in a cash flow of SEK 342m (–357). The increased holdings of repurchased residential units resulted in a cash flow of SEK –263m (226). Consolidated cash flow attributable to project properties (sales minus investment) during the first six months was SEK –245m (–229).

Consolidated cash flow attributable to project properties (sales minus investment) amounted to SEK –145m (–122).

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 will create uncertainty and risks for a while. 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 it 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, present possibilities for keeping the business reasonably stable even during a period of a weaker market.

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

CONVERTIBLE PROGRAM

The 2020 Annual General Meeting resolved that JM would raise a debenture loan with a maximum nominal value of SEK 230m by issuing a maximum of 645,000 convertible debentures with a maturity of four years aimed at all employees in Sweden.

Upon expiry of the subscription period, the loan amounts to about SEK 34m through the issue of approximately 157,000 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 reported in the balance sheet as a liability initially with the nominal amount excluding the equity component.

The subscribed convertible bonds may be converted to shares at a price of SEK 217 between June 1, 2023, and April 24, 2024.

Through conversion, JM's share capital could increase by a maximum of SEK 157,000, 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 2020.

OUTSTANDING SHARES

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

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 intention remains to pay a total dividend of SEK 12.50 during 2020. Assuming that the global situation has stabilized and the visibility for the housing market has reasonably improved, the ambition is to convene an extraordinary general meeting later in 2020 to propose resolution on an additional dividend.

PERSONNEL

The number of employees at the end of the second quarter decreased to 2,555 (2,635). The number of wage-earners was 990 (1,045), and the number of salaried employees was 1,565 (1,590). Current staffing is aligned with current 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.

SEK m Ryttarstugan in Täby Park in Täby outside of Stockholm entered production during the first quarter. The area consists of 167 apartments in apartment buildings with 6-7 floors divided into two associations, of which Ryttarstugan Västra is the first. Central and child-friendly housing are offered here, located 300 m from rail traffic. Many of the residential units will have a view of the planned city park.

272 -282 342 14 -163 444 0 500 1 000 Production started during the second quarter on 61 residential units in Kalkbrottet in Limhamn, Malmö, which is located as close to the city and entertainment as it is to nature and the sea. At the northern edge of Kalkbrottet, two apartment buildings with four to five floors and 49 apartments will be constructed as well as 12 attractive townhouses with two to three floors.

-1 500 -1 000 Q4 Q2 2015 Q4 Q2 2016 Q4 Q2 2017 Q4 Q2 2018 Q4 Q2 2019 Q4 In Helsinki, Finland, the Pilivinna project entered production in the second quarter. In Pasila's old railway depot, an apartment building with 82 residential units and lush courtyards is being constructed. The area is located close to a full-service shopping center, including public transportation connections to the center of Helsinki.

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 fell at the start of the quarter but then stabilized toward the end of the quarter. The total supply of residential units has been normal, but the supply of newly produced residential units increased slightly during the quarter, although it is still lower than compared to the same period last year.

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 was cautious during the second quarter, but customers are still showing interest in JM's projects and sales was at a good level given the circumstances surrounding COVID-19. The willingness of customers to sign a contract early in the process was below normal, though.

It is still difficult to get an overview of the impact of COVID-19 on the housing market. No extraordinary measures have been needed to date due to the current situation.

Profitability continued to be good, and housing starts in the second quarter have a normal level of reservations.

Revenue in the quarter was strengthened by a higher level of transferred land to projects. The lower profit is primarily due to relatively low sales. Current projects with completion in 2020 have a high sales rate, which supports profitability and cash flow even during a period of weaker sales. The business unit is thus equipped to bridge a more uncertain market during part of 2020, assuming continued stability in the staffing situation and supplier chains.

Cash flow during the first six months is in balance despite a slight increase of residential units in the balance sheet.

Production was started in the second quarter on 258 residential units in apartment buildings in Sollentuna, Stockholm and Täby.

During the second quarter, JM purchased approximately 450 building rights in Södertälje.

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.

During the second quarter, average prices on the existing home market have primarily remained the same.

The supply of new production during the second quarter increased somewhat within most of the business segment's submarkets and decreased marginally in some of the submarkets compared to the first quarter. The supply of newly produced homes in Uppsala is significantly lower, and in Gothenburg and Malmö it is somewhat lower compared to the corresponding period last year.

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

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

It is still difficult to get an overview of the impact of COVID-19 on the housing market. No extraordinary measures have been needed to date due to the current situation.

Profit and the margin decrease slightly where demand and prices vary on each local market.

Current projects with completion in 2020 have a high sales rate, which supports profitability even during a period of weaker sales. The business unit is thus equipped to bridge a more uncertain market during 2020, assuming continued stability in the staffing situation and supplier chains.

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 70m (126) and 3.9 percent (7.1). The lower profit is primarily due to low sales and an adjustment to the Norwegian operations to lower the cost level.

Cash flow was strengthened in the second quarter due to occupancy in two residential projects in Finland.

NORWAY

Prices on the existing home market have been stable during the second quarter while activity has been low. The market has been cautious due to COVID-19. The quarter has been burdened by costs, and the organization in Norway has been reduced slightly to adapt the business to the current market conditions. The market has also slowed more abruptly in Stavanger due to the fall in oil prices, and JM has withdrawn a project from the market there and decided to discontinue its operations. A planned project in Bergen is also being revised. In total these measures are burdening profit for the second quarter by around SEK 25m.

JM Norway's revenue decreased to SEK 1,323m (1,467), and operating profit decreased to SEK 49m (143). The operating margin decreased to 3.7 percent (9.7).

During the second quarter, 86 residential units (128) were sold, and production started on 115 residential units (104). Housing starts consist of 36 residential units in apartment buildings in the Oslo region, 9 residential units in single-family homes in Tønsberg outside of Oslo, 20 residential units in apartment buildings in Sandefjord, and 50 residential units in apartment buildings in Trondheim.

The number of residential units in current production amounted to 1,315 (1,180).

During the second quarter, JM purchased building rights corresponding to 1,300 residential units in Jessheim outside of Oslo and in Drammen. Available building rights correspond to 8,600 residential units (8,300).

FINL AND

Prices on the housing market in the Helsinki region have been stable during the second quarter, while activity has been low. The market has been cautious due to COVID-19. The willingness of customers to convert reservations to contracts was at a normal level in the second quarter. At the same time, the business is supported by the possibility of selling residential units in blocks to investors.

During the second quarter, 58 residential units (241) were sold and production started on 82 units (182). Housing starts consist of residential units in apartment buildings in Helsinki.

The number of residential units in current production amounted to 667 (546).

During the second quarter, 0 building rights (250) were acquired. Available building rights correspond to 5,600 residential units (3,400).

It is still difficult to get an overview of the impact of COVID-19 on the housing market in Norway and Finland. Current projects with completion in 2020 have a high sales rate, which supports profitability and cash flow even during a period of weaker sales.

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 70m (53), of which rental income was SEK 38m (45). Contracting revenue and sales of services amounted to SEK 32m (8). Operating profit was SEK –3m (12). 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 27m (30). 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 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 planned occupancy in 2020, and the project Havreflingan in Järfälla, 192 rental units with planned occupancy in 2021.

JM Construction

The JM Constrution 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 for the first six months includes gains from property sales of SEK 18m (34).

The loss in the first six months of 2019 of –155m 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 first six months is burdened by an increase in working capital. In the second quarter, the business segment received a number of assignments in the civil engineering operations, of which the largest are another phase in the ongoing infrastructure project in Tyresö and groundworks for Norra Parken Silverdal in Sollentuna for HB Silverdal Exploatering.

The largest ongoing external assignments are groundworks in the Stockholm Norvik goods harbor in Nynäshamn (Ports of Stockholm), an infrastructure project in Tyresö (Tyresö Municipality), groundworks for Arlanda Terminal 5 (INTREPRENÖR 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.

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 2019 Annual Report described the ongoing investigation and the preliminary assessment from Finansinspektionen that tenantowner associations cannot be considered independent from an IFRS perspective.

Finansinspektionen (FI) announced on May 20, 2020 its decision, in which the authority determined that the tenantowners associations that JM develops should not be considered independent from an IFRS perspective and must therefore 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.

IFRS is a principle-based framework, the application of which often requires judgments, and it is often possible in such complex matters as this to reach different conclusions. The tenant-owner associations' independence is fundamental for JM's business, and JM makes the assessment that the company's business model and structure enable the associations even from a financial reporting perspective to be considered independent.

The regulatory framework in this matter has not changed for many years. JM's opinion and assessment have been described in JM's financial statements and were also accepted for a long time by the stock exchange in its previous supervisory role. In addition to support from current and earlier auditors, JM also received support for its interpretation in the form of opinions from reputable experts.

JM considers segment reporting, which it continues to base on the percentage of completion method with the tenant-owners association as a customer, 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. FI's interpretation of the consolidated financial statements does not affect the Parent Company's financial reporting either, and revenue will continue to be reported over time (gradually).

FI's position on the tenant-owners associations' independence from a financial reporting perspective does not affect the associations' actual independence, either. JM considers the associations' boards of directors to be independent, and JM has never had any representation in the associations' boards of directors. This ensures strong consumer protection and provides a safeguard for home buyers.

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

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.
