A WORD FROM THE CEO

CONTINUED HIGH DEMAND

We continued to have high demand in the third quarter at good price levels in all our markets. This has also meant a good level of housing starts that is in line with our annual plan. Our digital solutions in the sales work continued to work very well. Revenue and profit are dampened by the lower housing starts and price levels for projects started in Stockholm in the past few years. The lead time in JM's business is several years from the development of the housing market to recognition in the income statement. At the same time, the business and earnings developed very favorably in Norway, Finland and the rest of Sweden during the quarter.

The supply of newly produced residential units on the market decreased further in Stockholm and the rest of Sweden at the same time as the transaction volume continues to be high.

We assess the underlying demand for housing to continue to be good on our markets. The reservation and sales level is high in the current production of residential units on all our markets. This provides continued good conditions for housing starts and stable cash flow moving forward.

Assuming that the market continues to be favorable, there is a good possibility of exceeding the target level of 3,800 housing starts in 2021. An increased level of housing starts is a priority to continue to meet the high demand for JM's residential units.

INCREASED HOUSING STARTS ACCORDING TO PL AN IN STOCKHOLM

We have seen continued high demand in Stockholm in the third quarter, with good demand for our residential units in current production.

Sales in Stockholm were stable but limited by available supply and timing of contract signings in freehold apartment projects. In the third quarter, JM Residential Stockholm sold 261 residential units, compared to 332 in the second quarter. The housing business in Stockholm continued to have good profitability and increased housing starts according to plan during the third quarter. Revenue and operating profit, however, continue to be negatively impacted during the year by the lower housing starts for projects during the years 2018–2020 and the lower price levels from 2017 through the first half of 2020.

STRONG SALES IN NORWAY, FINL AND AND THE REST OF SWEDEN

The housing business in the rest of Sweden showed strong sales, good profitability, and a good level of housing starts during the third quarter.

In Norway, activity in the housing market continued to develop favorably during the third quarter with stable prices. The housing market in Finland showed good development as well.

The international business also continued to develop very well during the quarter in terms of both revenue and profit.

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 balance sheet allows both growth in JM's business and stable value transfer to shareholders. The fundamental and long-term conditions are favorable for our business, and I continue to expect good development.

Johan Skoglund, President and CEO

"We continued to have high demand in the third quarter at good price levels in all our markets"

MARKET, SALES AND HOUSING STARTS JANUARY–SEPTEMBER 2021

The housing market in Stockholm continued to improve during the first nine months, with a high level of residential units sold. Profitability continued to be good, and housing starts in the third quarter have had a normal level of reservations.

The housing business in the rest of Sweden showed good profitability, with strong sales and a good level of housing starts in a stable market.

In Norway and Finland, the activity in the housing market continued to develop favorably, with stable prices during the quarter.

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 3,279 (2,403)1) 2). The percentage of sold and reserved residential units in relation to current production amounted to 78 percent (71), with an interval of 60–65 percent considered normal.

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

CASH FLOW JANUARY–SEPTEMBER 2021

Cash flow from operating activities according to segment reporting was SEK 1,371m (427). Net investments in development properties resulted in a cash flow of SEK −114m (193). The decreased holdings of unsold residential units in the balance sheet resulted in a cash flow of SEK 64m (−182). Consolidated cash flow attributable to project properties (sales minus investment) during the nine-month period was SEK 188m (−366), including payment received in the second quarter for property sales of SEK 550m.

JULY– SEPTEMBER 2021

Consolidated cash flow attributable to project properties (sales minus investment) amounted to SEK −74m (−121).

RISKS AND UNCERTAINTY FACTORS

JM's risks and risk management are presented in the 2020 Annual Report on pages 32–37 and 83. Aside from the uncertainty related to COVID-19, uncertainty has arisen regarding the supply of Swedish cement.

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 high level. This, together with very limited disruptions in terms of staffing and supplier chains, presents possibilities for keeping the business reasonably stable even during a weaker market where the risks are judged to have decreased in 2021.

Cement supply and local cement production through the operation of a limestone quarry is exposed to risk in Sweden due to an uncertain licensing process between a market-leading producer and related authorities. An amendment to the law has been adopted to enable the continuation of local cement production through the government review of a time-limited license to operate a limestone quarry The amendment to the law went into effect on 15 October 2021.

EXPOSURE TO COMMODITY PRICES

The price of steel and wood increased during the year. Long-term agreements with JM's suppliers mean this is having a limited impact on the income statement. In addition, cost increases on raw materials are offset on a regular basis through streamlining.

For JM's Swedish operations, clean steel and wood constitute around 4 percent and 2 percent, respectively, of total costs. Concrete prices have been stable during the year for JM, where the material cost for pure concrete is judged to constitute around 2 percent of total costs.

REPURCHASE AND HOLDINGS OF OWN SHARES

Following the Annual General Meeting on March 24, 2021, 783,400 shares were bought back for SEK 250m. Holdings of own shares subsequently total 783,400. The number of outstanding shares, excluding holdings of treasury shares, at September 30, 2021, totals 68,910,847.

PERSONNEL

The number of employees in the nine-month period decreased to 2,445 (2,567). The number of wage-earners decreased to 888 (996), and the number of salaried employees decreased to 1,557 (1,571). 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 continued to be strong.

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 level of the average prices on the existing home market did not change during the third quarter. The total supply of residential units has been normal, and the supply of newly produced residential units continued to decrease in the third quarter.

Competition for well-situated land for housing is considered to have increased during the third quarter. Prices continued to be at a level that requires selective acquisition.

The housing market in Stockholm was stable with continued high demand during the third quarter. Customers are showing considerable interest in JM's projects with good sales in the third quarter, which were limited, however, by available supply and the timing of contract signing in freehold apartment projects. The

willingness of customers to sign a contract early in the process is still at a normal level.

Profitability continued to be good, and the number of housing starts increased to a higher level in the nine-month period. Revenue and operating profit, however, continue to be negatively impacted during the year by the lower housing starts for projects during the years 2018–2020 and the lower prices from 2017 through the first half of 2020.

Cash flow during the nine-month period is in balance taking into consideration the decrease in development properties.

Production was started in the third quarter on 351 residential units in apartment buildings in Stockholm and Täby.

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.

Average prices on the existing home market were stable in the third quarter, as prices on each submarket increased slightly or remained the same.

The total supply of newly produced residential units decreased compared to the previous quarter and is still at a low level. The supply of newly produced homes in Gothenburg and Malmö was at a lower level, and in Uppsala the supply was somewhat higher than in the corresponding period last year.

Competition for land for residential purposes continued to be tough during the third quarter for most of the business segment's submarkets.

Interest in JM's projects continued to be strong during the third quarter, with very good sales. The customers' willingness to sign a contract early in the process continues to be at a normal level.

Operating profit and the operating margin were in line with the corresponding period in the previous year. Demand is high and the price development is positive in basically all submarkets for JM's residential units.

Cash flow during the nine-month period is in balance taking into consideration investments in development properties.

Production was started in the third quarter on 238 residential units, all of them in apartment buildings in Malmö, Örebro, Västerås and Uppsala.

Around 500 building rights were acquired in Gothenburg, Örebro, and Västerås.

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 higher than in the previous year. Operating profit and the operating margin increased to SEK 276m (140) and 8.8 percent (5.3), respectively. The higher profit is due primarily to a strong market, good sales and an increase in current production. The second quarter in the previous year was burdened by costs for adapting the Norwegian operations to thencurrent market conditions.

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

NORWAY

Prices on the existing home market have been stable during the third quarter, and the activity level was high.

JM Norway's revenue amounted to SEK 2,102m (1,910), and operating profit increased to SEK 197m (92). The operating margin increased to 9.4 percent (4.8).

Good sales during the third quarter strengthened the operating profit and the operating margin.

During the third quarter, 153 residential units (171) were sold, and production started on 228 residential units (58) in the Oslo region, Vestfold and Trondheim. The number of residential units in current production amounted to 1,302 (1,206).

During the third quarter, 25 building rights were acquired. Available building rights correspond to 7,800 residential units (8,500).

The prices on the existing home market in the Helsinki region were stable during the quarter.

JM Finland is reporting a positive development in revenue and earnings.

During the third quarter, 114 residential units (236) were sold, and production started on 0 residential units (260). Of the residential units sold, 78 (101) were residential units to investors. The number of residential units in current production amounted to 1,156 (927).

During the third quarter, no building rights were acquired. Available building rights correspond to 5,500 residential units (5,400).

JM Property Development

The JM Property Development business segment primarily develops rental and 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 182m (112), of which rental income was SEK 30m (60). Contracting revenue and sales of services amounted to SEK 152m (52). Operating profit increased to SEK 169m (0), of which income from joint venture was SEK 32m (0), primarily attributable to value adjustments regarding rental properties.

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

Net rental income for project properties was SEK 14m (43).

Cash flow for the nine-month period is positive due to payment received in the second quarter for the sale of a project property and is burdened on an ongoing basis by investments in project properties.

During the second quarter, the completed rental property Manegen in Täby, with 128 residential units, and one rental

property in current production, Havreflingan in Järfälla with 192 residential units, were sold. The legal title for Manegen was transferred in the second quarter of 2021 with recognized profit of SEK 161m and a positive cash-flow effect of SEK 550m. The transfer for Havreflingan and profit recognition will take place in the fourth quarter of 2021.

Production continues for another rental project, Valla Park in Sundbyberg, consisting of 143 rental units. Occupancy and completion are planned for 2022, and the legal title for the rental property will be transferred to the external buyers in conjunction with completion.

In the first quarter, production was started on the office project K1 Karlbergs Strand in Karlberg, Solna, on JM's own balance sheet, covering approximately 20,000 m2 . The majority of the property will serve as JM's new head office.

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 but with greater competition for the assignments. Business segment revenue decreased due to lower external activity for JM in the civil engineering operations, where profitability is prioritized over volume. The business segment focuses on projects that have synergies with residential project development.

Cash flow during the first nine months is in balance.

In the third quarter, the business segment received a number of external assignments within its civil engineering operations, the largest of which is conduit and street works for a new housing area in southern Stockholm for the City of Stockholm and a framework agreement for speed reduction measures, also for the City of Stockholm.

The largest ongoing external assignments are the infrastructure project in Tyresö (Tyresö Municipality), groundworks for Arlanda Terminal 5 (IN3PRENÖR AB), detailing work in Norra Djurgårdsstaden (City of Stockholm), groundworks and conduit work in Ursvik Västra (City of Sundbyberg), and the restoration and renovation of an existing road network in Huddinge (Huddinge Municipality). The business segment also has several ongoing internal projects.

Bunkhagen Södra has JM's first freehold apartments in Täby, just north of Stockholm. This area will offer 50 residential units ranging from studios to 4 bedrooms with different layouts, divided between two buildings of up to five floors, and a number of unique two-story townhouses. The block, which will feature attractive brick and stucco architecture and will have a large, bright courtyard in the middle, is centrally located at Boulevarden, which cuts through the Täby Park district. Bunkhagen Södra offers the choice of intelligent functions, such as digital solutions for reduced energy consumption and other smart installations for more comfort and security every day in the new home. Here, residents will be within walking distance to the commuter train and buses, and, like for all residents of JM's apartments in Täby Park, membership in a car pool is included.

Ten minutes from Uppsala, the Skölstahöjden housing development is starting to take shape only a stone's throw from the city. Next to existing buildings close to nature in popular Skölsta, JM is building 36 family-friendly, freehold single-family homes ranging from 125–156 m2 . The Swan Ecolabel homes consisting of 4–5 bedrooms offer all the amenities needed for an easy family life, with outdoor space, an easy-tocare-for yard and daily services close by. Bordering Skölsta is a popular area with hiking trails, water and grilling areas.

In the growing area Vollebekk in Oslo, JM started production on Passasjen, which consists of Swan Ecolabel apartment buildings, where we in a first stage will offer 116 of a total of 240 residential units. Passasjen's residential units consist of 1–3 bedrooms, offer add-on intelligent functions, and are designed with an urban life in mind. The buildings will have roof terraces and other common areas and meeting places as well as plenty of room not only to park bicycles but also for a workshop, a launderette, and charging for bicycles – all to make everyday life easier. In addition, residents will be one hundred meters from the subway, which arrives in the center of Oslo in less than fifteen minutes, walking distance to schools, daycare and stores, and close to the nature areas Bjeredalen and Grefsenkollen.

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- or outpayments, 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 first nine months of 2021 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 89–93 of the 2020 Annual Report.

JM's appeal to the Administrative Court regarding Finansinspektionen's interpretation of IFRS for tenant-owner associations in production was decided with a ruling by the court in JM's favor on October 26, 2021. The Administrative Court reached a different assessment than Finansinspektionen and therefore rejects Finansinspektionen's previous decision.. For more information see JM's annual report for 2020, page 82.

NEW AND AMENDED STANDARDS AS OF 2021

The amended standards according to IFRS the Group applies as of January 1, 2021, 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.

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

INTRODUCTION

We have reviewed the condensed interim financial information (interim report) of JM AB as of September 30, 2021 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.
