Starting on January 1, 2023, JM applies a new accounting principle for projects with Swedish tenant-owners associations; see Note 1 Accounting principles. Restated income statements and balance sheets with the reported effect per quarter are provided in Note 1 of JM's interim report for Q1 2023. Comparative figures in this report have been restated according to the new accounting principle. For the Group's income statement and balance sheet in accordance with IFRS, IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers is applied, which means that revenue and profit/loss from JM's housing development are reported according to the completed contract method, see Note 1 for further information. Segment reporting and project management are reported according to the percentage of completion method. The Group's calculations according to IFRS are presented on pages 18–19. For definitions of key financial figures, see "Definitions Key Financial Figures" at jm.se/en/about-us/investors/
The financial statements are presented in Swedish krona (SEK), which is also the reporting currency for the Parent Company. All amounts are rounded to the nearest million unless otherwise specified. The figures in the report are based on the Group's consolidation system, which is in SEK thousand. Due to rounding in tables, total amounts may not correspond to the sum of the initial rounded whole numbers. Unless otherwise specified, amounts and comments in this Interim Report are based on JM's segment reporting. This interim report is a translation of the original text in Swedish, which is the official version.

Focus on cash flow in a challenging housing market
The third quarter 2023 continued to be influenced by challenging market conditions. Rise in market rates combined with uncertainty about additional interest rate increases contributes to customers being cautious about buying a new home. JM is working actively to secure stable cash flow. To avoid capital tie-up in completed residential units, prices have been adjusted for certain units to the current market situation, which had a negative impact on the quarter's results. Good liquidity gives us the possibility to maintain housing production even in a challenging market.
Customers continue to be cautious
Prices on the existing home market have been stable or increased slightly during the quarter in Sweden but decreased in Norway and Finland. The supply of residential units continued to be large on all our markets. The tendency of buyers and sellers to start to meet again, which could be observed during the summer, was met by continued elevated market rates and a return to a cautious market. We are seeing considerable interest in JM's residential units, but uncertainty and rising costs of living are keeping customers from signing a contract.
Sales in the housing operations in Stockholm increased compared to the second quarter of the year, and we have been able to start production on new projects during the quarter even if the number of residential units sold in the third quarter was lower than in the previous year. Sales in the rest of Sweden were in line with the second quarter but lower than in the previous year. JM sold properties at Brommaplan during the third quarter, which will strengthen liquidity in the fourth quarter. Operating profit in the Swedish operations was negatively impacted by the low sales and price adjustments for certain residential units.
In Norway, housing prices on the existing home market decreased to a level below the corresponding period of the previous year. The operating margin continued to be low due to high cost level and lower sales compared to the previous year. JM Norway invested during the quarter in land in an attractive area at the outskirts of Oslo.
Prices and activity on the Finnish housing market were low during the third quarter, and sales in our Finnish operations decreased. General consumer confidence continues to be low. Operating profit in Finland was lower than in the previous year primarily due to low sales and price adjustments in selected projects.
JM is continuing to offer attractive housing to a broad target group, and we currently have five rental projects in current production within the JM Property Development business segment, of which three in our own balance sheet. Production of the office project K1 Karlbergs Strand is also ongoing withing JM Property Development. A diversified project portfolio provides balanced risk and allows for more housing starts over time. JM Property Development's revenue and profit increased in the quarter thanks to projects in current production.
Sustainable development
JM's business is long term, and we continue with our work on sustainable development even when the economy is weak.

"Good liquidity gives us the possibility to maintain the housing production"
Housing production currently generates carbon emissions, of which approximately half of JM's emissions are from concrete. We have a strong focus on reducing these emissions, and a number of climate-related measures are ongoing within the Group. JM is already using climate-improved concrete that is cast in place in its Swedish operations, and we are testing the replacement of cement with other adhesives. We are also expanding our work with prefabricated concrete constructions that have a lower climate impact, and due to good results from waste sorting, we have been able to remove containers for burnable waste at our Swedish construction sites.
Strong financial position
Sales and housing starts continue to be highly prioritized in order for JM to generate stable cash flow. We have lowered prices for certain residential units where the effect on sales and cash flow is largest, which has had an impact on profit in the quarter. Furthermore, the cost level continued to be high for our projects, which puts pressure on our margins. Savings measures implemented in the second quarter have resulted in lower project costs, which was met by decreased revenue. In order to maintain good liquidity, JM will continue to take action to limit the number of unsold residential units in completed production and adapt production capacity. This gives us the possibility of taking action to stimulate sales, start new projects and make selective acquisitions in strategically important areas.
In the short term, we expect that the market will continue to be cautious, which will limit the possibility for us to start new projects. We are also seeing that there is strong underlying demand for JM's residential units. I state that we continue to be well-positioned, with an attractive project and building rights portfolio, and, despite the uncertainty on the market, the fundamental and long-term conditions for our business continue to be good.
Johan Skoglund, President and CEO
Market, sales and housing starts
JANUARY–SEPTEMBER 2023
The slow-down in the economy, together with the general market conditions, continued to have a considerable impact on the housing market and subsequently JM's operations. The housing market on the Group's submarkets were negatively impacted during the period by a large supply on the existing home market, current global factors, high inflation and continued rising market rates. Overall, consumers' buying power was weakened and customers continue to be cautious. Often, it takes a long time from when the customer signs the agreement until they move in, which means that the market for newly produced residential units is more exposed than the existing home market when households' finances are weakened.
During the nine-month period, prices on the existing home market were stable or slightly increasing on the Swedish market but decreased on the Norwegian market and continued to decrease on the Finnish market.
The underlying need for housing continues to be large, but, despite this, housing starts on the Group's submarkets continued to decrease during the nine-month period due to weaker demand.
Sales decreased due to the weak market, and the number of sold residential units in the form of signed contracts decreased to 1,128 (2,197). The percentage of sold and reserved residential units in relation to current production amounted to 56 percent (69), with an interval of 60–65 percent considered normal. JM Residential Stockholm sold 191 residential units (596), JM
Residential Sweden sold 392 (854), JM Norway sold 292 (427), JM Finland sold 35 (320) and JM Property Development sold 218 (0).
The number of housing starts decreased to 869 (2,215). JM Residential Stockholm started production on 133 residential units (456), JM Residential Sweden on 298 (874), JM Norway on 249 (416), JM Finland on 34 (373) and JM Property Development on 155 (96).
The number of residential units in current production decreased to 6,188 (7,962), of which 662 (437) were rental units in JM Property Development. The carrying amount for project properties amounted to SEK 1,027m (1,369), of which properties under development amounted to SEK 1,022m (1,345).
Residential building rights
The number of available building rights at the end of the third quarter amounted to 39,900 (39,000), of which 23,200 (21,400) are recognized in the balance sheet. Capital tied up in building rights (development properties in the balance sheet) for residential units increased to SEK 9,003m (8,595).
JM acquired development properties for residential units during the nine-month period for SEK 1,188m (1,454), of which SEK 634m (396) relates to JM Residential Stockholm, SEK 49m (905) to JM Residential Sweden, SEK 471m (38) to JM Norway and SEK 35m (115) to JM Finland.

Revenue, operating profit and operating margin
JANUARY–SEPTEMBER 2023
Consolidated revenue according to segment reporting decreased during the period to SEK 10,444m (11,233). The decreased revenue is primarily attributable to a low level of residential units in current production and a low sales ratio in all business segments, which to some extent is offset by commercial projects in current production. Operating profit according to segment reporting decreased to SEK 822m (1,297), and the operating margin decreased to 7.9 percent (11.6), which is primarily attributable to increased costs in current production and price reductions in current projects. During the second quarter, profit was burdened by SEK 67m (0) due to costs from completed staff departures.
Revenue restated according to IFRS increased to SEK 12,528m (8,999). Operating profit restated according to IFRS increased to SEK 1,462m (1,009). The increase is primarily attributable to a large number of handed over residential units with a good margin in the JM Residential Stockholm, JM Norway and JM Finland business segments and commercial projects in current production.
Rental income from JM's project properties was SEK 25m (26). Net operating income was SEK 12m (7).
JULY–SEPTEM BER 2023
Consolidated revenue according to segment reporting for the third quarter decreased to SEK 2,846m (3,589). The decreased revenue is primarily attributable to a low level of residential units in current production and a low sales ratio in all business segments, which to some extent is offset by commercial projects in current production.
Operating profit according to segment reporting decreased to SEK 146m (399), and the operating margin decreased to 5.1 percent (11.1), which is primarily attributable to increased costs in current production and price reductions implemented in current projects.
Revenue restated according to IFRS increased to SEK 4,457m (2,589). Operating profit restated according to IFRS increased to SEK 500m (376), primarily due to a large number of handed over residential units with a good margin in the JM Residential Stockholm, JM Norway and JM Finland business segments and commercial projects in current production.
Rental income from JM's project properties was SEK 8m (12). Net operating income was SEK 5m (5).

Financial items
JANUARY–SEPTEMBER 2023
Net financial items according to segment reporting declined slightly compared to the corresponding period the previous year, primarily attributable to increased interest expenses.
Total interest-bearing liabilities according to segment reporting were SEK 2,340m (2,521), of which the provision for pension liabilities comprised SEK 1,299m (1,609). At the end of the third quarter, the average interest rate for the total interest-bearing loan stock including pension liabilities was 4.6 percent (2.3). The average term for fixed-rate loans excluding the pension liability was 0.2 years(0.3).
Consolidated available liquidity according to segment reporting decreased to SEK 3,542m (4,702). Aside from cash and cash equivalents of SEK 742m (1,902), 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 liabilities including pension liabilities according to segment reporting totaled SEK 1,587m (615) at the end of the period. Non-interest-bearing liabilities for completed property acquisitions amounted to SEK 707m (438). Of these liabilities, SEK 294m (64) were current.
The valuation of financial assets and liabilities shows no significant difference between the carrying amount and fair value.
The tax rate was impacted negatively by limits on interest deductions.
Cash flow
JANUARY–SEPTEMBER 2023
Cash flow from operating activities according to segment reporting was strengthened compared to the corresponding period the previous year and amounted to SEK −452m (−615), which is attributable to a lower level of investments in properties and lower working capital. Net investments in development properties resulted in a cash flow of SEK −415m (−552). The increase in holdings of unsold residential units in the balance sheet resulted in a negative cash flow of SEK −502m (82). Consolidated cash flow attributable to project properties (sales minus investment) during the nine-month period was SEK −367m (−538).
JULY–SEPTEM BER 2023
Cash flow from operating activities was strengthened during the third period compared to the corresponding period the previous year and amounted to SEK −101m (−363), which is attributable to a lower level of investments in properties and lower working capital. Net investments in development properties resulted in cash flow of SEK −107m (−238). The increased holdings of repurchased residential units resulted in a cash flow of SEK –257m (79). Consolidated cash flow attributable to project properties (sales minus investment) amounted to SEK –61m (−143).

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 third quarter. The total supply of residential units was high, but the supply of newly produced residential units was still at a low level.
The housing market in Stockholm continued to be cautious during the third quarter. For the business segment's projects, the higher interest rate and the general uncertainty, among other things, have meant that customers were very cautious. However, customers showed increased interest in the third quarter, but the willingness to sign a contract early was significantly below normal.
The absence of necessary authority decisions continued to have a negative impact on the business segment's housing starts. This currently concerns one project with a total of 46 residential units. In addition to necessary authority decisions, the low sales have also restricted the business segment's housing starts.
Compared to the previous year, revenue and the operating profit were negatively impacted by the low sales in recent quarters, price adjustments in current projects, increased financing costs, and costs for implemented savings measures. However, the number of unsold apartments with completion in 2023 is limited.
Cash flow during the nine-month period was weakened compared to the previous year due to large investments in development properties and to some extent by the business segment has a project that is financed with its own funds.
Production was started in the third quarter on a total of 133 residential units in apartment buildings in Stockholm.
During the third quarter, the business segment entered into an agreement to sell properties at Brommaplan, Stockholm. The transaction amounts to SEK 283m with a loss of SEK –15m, which burdens the third quarter by a corresponding impairment. Transfer of legal title and payment will occur in the fourth quarter 2023.

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 for tenant-owned units were unchanged during the third quarter on the business segment's submarkets, with the exception of the university cities, where prices increased slightly. Prices of single-family homes continued to decrease slightly.
Supply on the existing home market remained at the same high levels as in recent quarters. The supply of new production continued to be at very low levels, with the exception of Gothenburg.
During the third quarter, the sales rate continued to be low, and the business segment had a major focus on sales of residential units that were close to occupancy or completed. Customers
continued to be cautious, and the willingness to sign a contract early was below normal levels.
Compared to the previous year, revenue and the operating profit were negatively impacted as a result of lower sales, increased production and financing costs, price adjustments in current projects, and costs for implemented savings measures.
The period's cash flow was weakened compared to the corresponding period the previous year and was burdened by increased working capital and an increase in the number of purchased residential units in the balance sheet.
During the third quarter, JM Residential Sweden had no housing starts and acquired no building rights.

JM Norway
The business segment develops residential projects in Norway. Operations include acquisitions of development properties, planning, pre-construction and production and sale of residential units. Revenue and profit for the business segment are reported using the percentage of completion method.
The price level on the existing home market decreased during the third quarter and was at the end of the quarter at lower levels than the corresponding period the previous year. Norway's central bank continued to increase the interest rate during the third quarter, which leads to higher mortgage costs and greater uncertainty among customers.
Sales of residential units on the existing home market were lower than in the corresponding period the previous year. Sales of newly produced residential units during the third quarter decreased significantly compared to the corresponding period the previous year. Demand for JM's residential units continued to be lower than normal in the third quarter.
Compared to the previous year, revenue and operating profit were impacted negatively as a result of a lower sales ratio and increased production and financing costs in recent quarters.
The business segment made large investments in land during the period, which had an impact on the period's cash flow.
During the third quarter, JM acquired approximately 500 residential building rights in Jessheim and paid and occupied approximately 590 residential building rights at Karihaugen in Oslo.
During the third quarter, JM started production on 68 residential units at Myrvoll Stasjon in Nordre Follo Municipality.

JM Finland
The business segment develops residential projects in Finland. Operations include acquisitions of development properties, planning, pre-construction and production and sale of residential units. Revenue and profit for the business segment are reported using the percentage of completion method.
The activity on the housing market in the Helsinki region was low during the nine-month period. The geo-political situation, inflation and the continued rise in interest rates impacted customers' willingness to buy homes. The market is characterized by cautiousness, and customers' confidence in the future continues to be low. The price level on the existing home market in the Helsinki region decreased during the period but leveled out during the third quarter.
Sales were lower than in the corresponding period last year and sales periods were longer.
Compared to the previous year, revenue and the operating profit were negatively impacted primarily by costs for implemented savings measures and price adjustments in current projects.
Cash flow for the period improved compared to the corresponding period the previous year.
Due to the current market situation and decreased sales, there were no housing starts during the third quarter.
During the third quarter, JM acquired approximately 164 residential building rights in Puustellinkallio, Espoo.

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 and operating profit increased compared to the corresponding period the previous year. This was primarily attributable to projects in current production, the office project K1 Karlbergs Strand, for which the estimated completion is first quarter 2025, the rental project Kvarter 8, for which the estimated completion is third quarter 2024, and the residential care building Pilhamns Gårdar, for which the estimated completion is third quarter 2024. Profit and revenue recognition will occur gradually during construction.
Contracting revenue and sales of services amounted to SEK 1,098m (135), and rental income to SEK 24m (25). The operating profit amounted to SEK 202m (–20), of which net rental income for project properties amounted to SEK 11m (6).
Compared to the corresponding period in the previous year, cash flow for the period improved due to project financing and down payments received for sold properties under construction.
Production is ongoing in an additional three rental projects in JM's own balance sheet: Igelsta Trädkrona in Södertälje, with 96 rental units; Dyrvers Kulle in Sundbyberg, with 123 rental units; and Flora in Järfälla, with 155 rental units.
During the third quarter, the business segment entered into an agreement to sell a project property in the Dalénum area of Lidingö. The transaction amounts to SEK 21m with a profit from property sale of SEK 14m. The legal title will be transferred and the transaction recorded in the forth quarter 2023.

JM Construction
The JM Construction business segment carries out construction work for external customers in the Greater Stockholm area. The business segment focuses on civil engineering contracts for external professional customers.
Demand on the civil engineering market in Stockholm continued to be stable during the period, with competition for the assignments, but somewhat more cautious during the third quarter.
On July 1, operations for the part of the business unit that carried out internal civil engineering projects were transferred to JM Residential Stockholm. As a result of this transfer, JM Construction transitioned to a specialized civil engineering business that focuses on delivering profitable civil engineering projects with high quality. Ongoing Group-internal projects are gradually being transferred to JM Residential Stockholm.
The business segment's revenue decreased compared to the corresponding period the previous year primarily due to the transfer of internal projects and lower external activity in the
civil engineering business. The operating profit continued to be burdened by higher material costs in contracts previously entered into that could not be fully passed on to orderers.
Compared to the corresponding period the previous year, cash flow improved for the period due to a decrease in working capital.
The business segment received during the third quarter a number of new assignments, of which the largest entails development and detailed planning work for a new district in Vallentuna.
The largest ongoing projects are the infrastructure project in Tyresö, the development work for pending industrial work in Länna, and groundworks and conduit work for new sewage treatment plants in Haninge.

Sustainable development
Sustainability is an integrated part of JM's residential and urban development, From the acquisition of land and throughout the entire design phase until the customers move in and are living in Swan Ecolabel homes in areas that promote a sustainable lifestyle. Structured work environment initiatives, efforts to prevent accidents, quality-assured supplier chains, and active efforts to improve diversity and equal opportunity are central components of JM's sustainability work.
Following the good results due to greater involvement in waste sorting, JM was in the third quarter able to stop using containers for burnable waste at its construction sites in Sweden, a milestone in JM's work to reach the waste target of max 25 kg per GFA, excluding the garage. JM Norway has good procedures in place for waste handling, and it achieves a high degree of waste sorting. In JM Finland, work is underway to gather data and develop processes related to the handling of waste.
More than half of JM's carbon emissions come from concrete, of which cement has the largest impact on the climate. JM's climate roadmap therefore has a strong focus on reducing emissions from concrete, and there are a number of initiatives in this area underway within the Group.
Since the second quarter 2022, JM has been using in all Swedish production 10 percent climate-improved concrete that is cast in place. During the third quarter, JM took additional steps toward its goal of almost zero emissions and is now testing concrete that
has 40 percent lower CO2 emissions, where cement has been replaced with other adhesives, in this case blast furnace slag. JM is investigating in part the handling time and how the concrete is impacted by the weather and temperature. Test casting with different amounts of cement replacement are planned to continue until the spring of 2024. JM is also working with prefabricated concrete constructions that have a lower climate impact by using a supplier that delivers a 30 percent climate-improved concrete.
As part of JM's efforts to ensure that all of its construction work maintains a consistent high standard, pre-construction consultants underwent training in the third quarter on JM's sustainability work and processes, with a focus on strategies and opportunities for a reduced climate footprint and reduced waste volumes.
Completed residential units in finalized projects continue to receive Swan Ecolabel certification according to plan.

Notes
Note 1 Accounting principles
This interim report for the first nine months of 2023 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.
Amended standards as of 2023
According to the amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of financial statements, which the Group applies as of January 1, 2023, JM must provide disclosures regarding significant information about accounting principles instead of disclosing significant accounting principles. The amendment to IAS 1 has been analyzed and is not judged to have a material impact on JM's financial statements. Other amendments to standards and interpretations that entered into force on January 1, 2023, have also not had a material impact on this financial statement.
Segment reporting
JM's segment reporting primarily differs from IFRS in three respects:
In segment reporting, the Group´s revenue is recognized using the percentage of completion method.
In addition, project financing within JM Norway and JM Finland and parts of the project financing in JM Residential Stockholm, JM Residential Sweden and JM Property Development are 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.
Change in accounting principle operating segment
Starting January 1, 2023, JM International will be broken down into two new operating segments: JM Norway and JM Finland. This decision is in line with JM's strategy to be one of the leading residential project developers in the Nordics and how the business is governed and reported. JM Norway will include residential development projects, acquisitions of development properties, planning, pre-construction and the production and sales of residential units in Norway. JM Finland will include residential development projects, acquisitions of development properties, planning, pre-construction and the production and sales of
residential units in Finland. The accounting principles and methods of calculation for the Group have also not changed compared to the description on pages 87–91 in the 2022 Annual and Sustainability Report.
Changed accounting principle for housing development through Swedish tenant-owners associations
Against the background of the decision by the Supreme Administrative Court not to grant JM leave to appeal, the ruling by the Administrative Court of Appeal from November 9, 2022, becomes legally binding. As of fiscal year 2023, in accordance with IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements, JM consolidates Swedish tenant-owners associations during the production phase up until the point in time that the home buyers of the residential units take over occupancy. Accordingly, the Group's balance sheet and profit and loss according to IFRS includes all of the tenantowners associations' assets, equity and liabilities as well as revenue and expenses. This principle is hereinafter referred to as the "completion contact method".
JM recognizes the projects in the balance sheet where largest items consist of work in progress on the asset side and the tenant-owners associations borrowing as a part of the Group's interest-bearing liabilities. Revenue and expenses for the projects are recognized when the home buyers take over occupancy of the residential units.
The changed accounting principle entails that JM will recognize all residential projects that are developed in-house in Sweden, Norway and Finland according to the completed contract method. Revenue from residential development through tenant-owner associations in Sweden was previously recognized over time.
To provide a clear and comparable overview of JM's earnings trend over time with regard to residential development through tenant-owner associations, JM will continue to present segment reporting where revenue in these projects is recognized in accordance with the percentage of completion method. The reporting of financial key ratios will also take these conditions into consideration. This is in line with JM's internal governance model. Neither JM's risk profile nor existing financing agreements are impacted by the change in accounting.
The Parent Company's accounting principles are unchanged, for more information refer to Note 1 in 2022 Annual and Sustainability Report.
Comparative figures in this report have been restated according to the new accounting principle. Restated income statements and balance sheets with the reported effect per quarter are provided on pages 22–23 of JM's interim report for the period January– March 2023.

The percentage of completion method in JM and the accounting of gross profit for the housing business consists of three components: incurred costs (cost-based effect), assessment of expected margin (revaluation effect), and sales rate of projects (sales effect).
Profit/loss components are reported quarterly and are not accumulated. The table starts with the business segments' gross operating profit (excluding net rental income from project and
development properties) for the housing business. For definitions of profit/loss components in the housing business, see the document entitled "Definitions key financial figures" at jm.se/en/about-us/ investors

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, 2023 and the nine-month 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.
