A WORD FROM THE CEO

CONTINUED HIGH DEMAND AND HIGH LEVEL OF HOUSING STARTS

We continued to have high demand in the fourth quarter at good price levels in all our markets. This has also contributed to a high level of housing starts, which 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 continued to develop very favorably in Norway, Finland and the rest of Sweden during the quarter.

The supply of newly produced residential units on the market continued to be low in Stockholm and the rest of Sweden at the same time as the transaction volume is 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.

With a high level of housing starts in the fourth quarter, we well exceeded the target 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.

GOOD SALES IN STOCKHOLM

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

Sales in Stockholm were good, with recovery in the signing of contracts for freehold apartment projects during the quarter. In the fourth quarter, JM Residential Stockholm sold 356 residential units, compared to 261 in the third quarter. The housing business in Stockholm continued to have good profitability and increased housing starts according to plan in the fourth quarter. Revenue and operating profit, however, continue to be negatively impacted by the lower housing starts for projects during the years 2018–2020 and the lower prices from 2017 through the first half of 2020. Improvement is expected in 2022, assuming a continued positive market and some delay in housing starts attributable to authority decisions.

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

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

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

The international business continued to develop very well during the quarter in terms of both revenue and profit and an increased level of housing starts.

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, where the Board of Directors proposes an increase in the dividend for 2021. The fundamental and long-term conditions are favorable for our business, and I expect continued good development in 2022.

Johan Skoglund, President and CEO

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

MARKET, SALES AND HOUSING STARTS

JANUARY–DECEMBER 2021

The housing market in Stockholm improved during the year with a high level of residential units sold. Profitability continued to be good, and housing starts in the fourth quarter have had a normal level of reservations.

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

In Norway and Finland, the activity on 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 4,248 (4,026)1) 2). The percentage of sold and reserved residential units in relation to current production amounted to 76 percent (74), with an interval of 60–65 percent considered normal.

The number of available residential building rights at the end of the year amounted to 35,600 (37,800), of which 20,000 (20,400) are recognized in the balance sheet. Capital tied up in building rights (development properties in the balance sheet) for residential units increased to SEK 8,192m (7,815).

The valuation of JM's total development properties with a carrying amount of SEK 8.2bn (7.8) shows a surplus value of SEK 7.2bn (6.5). This valuation was carried out in cooperation with an independent appraisal company.

JM acquired development properties for residential units during the year for SEK 1,754m (1,022), of which SEK 534m relates to JM Residential Stockholm, SEK 495m to JM Residential Sweden and SEK 726m to JM International.

PROJECT PROPERTIES

The externally appraised market value of JM's development properties was calculated to be SEK 1,088m (1,651) with a carrying amount of SEK 813m (1,246).

FINANCIAL ITEMS

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

The total interest-bearing liability according to segment reporting was SEK 2,618m (2,737), of which the provision for pension liabilities comprised SEK 1,761m (1,804). At the end of the year, the average interest rate for the total loan stock including the pension liability was 2.0 percent (1.5). The average term for fixed-rate loans excluding the pension liability was 0.4 years(0.5).

Consolidated available liquidity increased to SEK 6,781m (5,837). Aside from cash and cash equivalents of SEK 3,981m (3,037), 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 2.9 years (3.1).

Interest-bearing net receivables including the pension liability according to segment reporting totaled SEK 1,363m (300) at the end of the period. Non-interest-bearing liabilities for completed property acquisitions amounted to SEK 651m (435). Of these liabilities, SEK 278m (64) were current.

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

Cash flow from operating activities according to segment reporting was SEK 2,287m (1,715). Net investments in development properties resulted in a cash flow of SEK −189m (481). The decreased holdings of unsold residential units in the balance sheet resulted in a cash flow of SEK 107m (−77). Consolidated cash flow attributable to project properties (sales minus investment) was SEK 893m (369), including payment received for property sales of SEK 1,340m.

OCTOBER–DECEMBER 2021

Cash flow from operating activities was SEK 916m (1,288) during the fourth quarter. Net investments in development properties resulted in a cash flow of SEK −76m (288).

Consolidated cash flow attributable to project properties (sales minus investment) was SEK 705m (735), including payment received for property sales of SEK 790m.

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 where the risks are judged to have decreased in 2021.

Cement supply and local cement production through the operation of a limestone quarry has been exposed to risk in Sweden due to an uncertain licensing process between a marketleading 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 made it possible to extend the licenses in question.

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. Cement prices have been stable during the year for JM, where price increases were announced for 2022. Cost increases on raw materials are offset in part through regular streamlining.

For JM's Swedish operations, pure steel and wood constitute around 4 percent and 2 percent, respectively, of total costs. The material cost for pure concrete is estimated to constitute around 2 percent of the total cost, which includes cement, ballast and additives.

DIVIDEND

For 2021, the Board of Directors proposes a dividend of SEK 13.50 (12.75) per share, for a total of SEK 927m (887). The proposed record date for the dividend is Monday, April 4, 2022.

If the Annual General Meeting resolves to adopt the proposal, the dividend will be sent on Thursday, April 7, 2022.

REPURCHASE AND HOLDINGS OF OWN SHARES

Following the Annual General Meeting on March 24, 2021, 1,101,550 shares were bought back for SEK 375m. Holdings of own shares subsequently total 1,101,550. The number of outstanding shares, excluding holdings of own shares, at December 31, 2021, totals 68,648,746.

The Board of Directors intends to propose to the Annual General Meeting that all the holdings of own shares be eliminated through a decrease in the share capital for appropriations to unrestricted equity. The Board of Directors' complete proposal for a resolution regarding the elimination of shares will be available in conjunction with the notice of Annual General Meeting on March 2, 2022.

JM continues to have a strong financial position and strong liquidity. In light of this, the Board of Directors will propose that the Annual General Meeting resolve to renew the mandate for the Board of Directors, during the period up to the next Annual General Meeting and on one or more occasions, to decide on the buy-back of shares so that the Company's holdings do not at any point in time exceed 10 percent of all the shares in the Company. Acquisition should take place on Nasdaq Stockholm within the applicable share-price interval at the time of purchase.

PERSONNEL

The number of employees decreased during the year to 2,453 (2,530). The number of wage-earners decreased to 884 (966), and the number of salaried employees was 1,569 (1,564). 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 average prices on the existing home market increased slightly during the fourth quarter. The total supply of residential units decreased, and the supply of newly produced residential units continued to be at a low level in the quarter.

Competition for well-situated land for housing is still considered to be at a high level. Prices continued to be at a level that requires selective acquisition.

The housing market in Stockholm was stable with continued high demand during the fourth quarter. Customers are showing considerable interest in JM's projects with good sales in the quarter, which has been limited, however, by available supply.

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

Housing starts in Stockholm during the fourth quarter were supported by a normal level of reservations, and profitability continued to be good in the current production volume. The level of land transfers to projects was also very low in the fourth quarter. During the quarter, the lack of necessary authority decisions has had a negative impact on the business unit's housing starts. This currently concerns one project with a total of around 155 residential units. Housing starts in forthcoming phases have also been indirectly delayed.

Revenue and operating profit continue to be negatively impacted 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 year is strengthened by decreased holdings of development properties and decreased holdings of residential units in the balance sheet.

Production was started in the fourth quarter on 265 residential units in apartments buildings and single-family homes in Järfälla, Stockholm and 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.

The average prices on the existing home market decreased slightly during the fourth quarter in all of the submarkets, with the exception of Malmö, which increased slightly.

The total supply of newly produced residential units is still at a low level. The supply of newly produced homes in Uppsala was at the same level, and in Gothenburg and Malmö it was lower compared to the corresponding period last year.

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

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

The business segment reports a continued good profit level and margin.

Cash flow during the year is in balance taking into consideration investments in development properties.

During the fourth quarter, production was started on a total of 300 residential units, of which 281 in apartment buildings in Malmö, Gothenburg, Partille and Linköping and 19 single-family homes in Uppsala.

Around 450 building rights were acquired in Mölndal, Kungälv and Uppsala.

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 415m (276) and 9.2 percent (7.4), respectively. The higher profit is due primarily to a strong market, good sales and an increase in current production.

Cash flow during the year is in balance taking into consideration the slight increase in working capital.

NORWAY

Prices on the existing home market have been stable during the fourth quarter, and the activity level was high. At the same time, the Norwegian construction sector is experiencing increased cost pressure.

JM Norway's revenue amounted to SEK 3,030m (2,716), and operating profit increased to SEK 300m (205). The operating margin increased to 9.9 percent (7.5).

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

During the fourth quarter, JM Norway sold 208 residential units (219) and started production on 246 residential units (277) in the Oslo region, Tønsberg and Trondheim. The number of residential units in current production amounted to 1,280 (1,369).

FINL AND

The activity on the housing market in the Helsinki region continued to be stable at a high level. Customers are showing strong interest in JM's projects, and their willingness to convert reservations to contracts was at a high level during the fourth quarter. The prices on the existing home market in the Helsinki region were stable during the quarter but increased for full-year 2021.

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

During the fourth quarter, 185 residential units (132) were sold, and production started on 276 residential units (167). Of the sold residential units and housing starts, 146 residential units (0) are to investors. The number of residential units in current production amounted to 1,321 (1,094).

During the fourth quarter, no building rights were acquired. Available building rights correspond to 5,100 residential units (5,700).

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 262m (169), of which rental income was SEK 40m (80). Contracting revenue and sales of services amounted to SEK 222m (89). Operating profit increased to SEK 407m (178), of which income from sales of properties was SEK 391m (170) and from joint venture was SEK 40m (4), 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 18m (57).

Cash flow for the year is positive due to payment received in the second and fourth quarter for the sale of two project properties 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 rental 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. In the fourth quarter of 2021, the legal title for Havreflingan was transferred with a recognized profit of SEK 231m and a positive cash-flow effect of SEK 765m.

Production continues on 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 orderer in conjunction with completion. In the fourth quarter, production was started on 341 rental units. Kvarter 8 in Järfälla with 218 rental units, and Dyrvers Kulle with 123 rental units in Sundbyberg, on JM's own balance sheet .

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 . Half of the property is planned to 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 year is in balance.

In the fourth quarter, the business segment received a number of external assignments within its civil engineering operations, one of the larger one being a walking and biking path past Spånga Station on behalf of Stockholm Municipality.

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 a pipeline network in Huddinge (Stockholm Vatten). The business segment also has several ongoing internal assignments.

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 year-end report and interim report for Q4 2021 were prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and the 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. Finansinspektionen has appealed to the Court of Appeal the Administrative Court's ruling and the appeal will be considered. 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.
