Increased sales on a continued cautious market

Prices on the existing home market improved from low levels in all of JM's markets during the second quarter of 2024, with expectations of continued interest rate cuts having a positive impact. At the same time, the supply on the existing home market is at high or very high levels, and consumers' buying power continues to be limited, why we assess that it will take a while before we see a significant improvement on the market for new production. Despite this, we see an increased interest in JM's residential units, which has meant that we have been able to start more projects.

JM's focus on sales has had an effect, and the strong sales and increased number of housing starts resulted in significant improvement to cash flow in the second quarter.

Increased sales and more housing starts

The positive sales development to private individuals continued in the second quarter, primarily in our Swedish business segments and despite a cautious market. The strong sales during the quarter resulted in an increased share of sold and reserved residential units in production at the same time as we have had more housing starts during the quarter. At the same time, we have sharply increased sales of rental units, both in JM Property Development in Sweden and in JM Finland, and after the end of the quarter a rental unit project was sold in JM Residential Sweden.

Prices on the existing home market improved in both Sweden and Norway, although with local differences. The price level turned upward in Finland as well at the end of the quarter. We expect an increase in prices in all submarkets during the second half of 2024. The supply of new production is low in all our markets.

JM Residential Stockholm increased its sales compared to the previous quarter and more than tripled sales compared to the same quarter the previous year. Production started on three projects in Nacka, Solna and Stockholm. The housing starts led to increased revenue, but the operating margin was under downward pressure by price adjustments and high financing costs.

Sales also improved for JM Residential Sweden, where production started on three projects. However, the number of residential units in production is lower than in the previous year. Decreased revenue together with price adjustments and high financing costs resulted in a lower margin than last year.

JM Norway's sales were in line with the previous year, and the number of housing starts increased during the quarter. The operating profit decreased slightly due to fewer residential units in production.

The activity level on the Finnish market for sales to private individuals continued to be low, but JM Finland continued its successful sales to investors. The number of sold and started residential units increased, and operating profit improved.

JM Property Development sold two projects to investors during the quarter, and revenue increased. The operating profit was positively impacted by the current office project and was higher than the previous year. No new projects were started in the business segment during the quarter.

"We had a positive development of sales and cash flow in the quarter"

JM's sustainability work receives recognition

As one of the leading housing developers in the Nordic region, it is our ambition to also be a leader in sustainable development. It is therefore gratifying that, during the second quarter, JM was named Best in Construction Industry 2024 in Sweden for its equal working conditions. In addition, our efforts to reduce the emissions at our construction sites resulted in JM, for the second consecutive year, being included in the Financial Times' annual list of the 300 European companies that reduced their emissions the most over a five-year period. This is proof that our work is generating results.

Improved cash flow

JM is prioritizing strong liquidity to maintain the production capacity. We have to a limited extent continued to adapt prices in projects close to occupancy in Sweden, and we are selective in our investments in development properties. The increase in the number of housing starts together with received payment for developed land in Norway and project sales in JM Property Development significantly improved cash flow in the quarter. We also extended the credit facilities, and our financial strength has thus been futher strengthened.

It is with enthusiasm and humility that I have now taken over the role of CEO at JM. The housing market has major challenges with reduced buying power among consumer and increased costs for housing construction. It will take time before the market recovers, but at the same time JM, with its strong building rights portfolio, efficient production, and good financial position, is facing good conditions for emerging stronger from this economic downturn. I look forward to continuing to develop the company alongside all my colleagues and create long-term value for JM's shareholders.

Mikael Åslund, President and CEO

Market, sales and housing starts

JANUARY– JUNE 2024

During the first half of the year, inflation decreased on all of the Group's submarkets. As a result of this, the European central bank and Sweden's central bank made an initial cut to interest rates. The interest rate outlook from Sweden's central bank indicates additional cuts in 2024, the European central bank is predicting a slow but steady cuts, and Norway's bank is cautious about interest rate cuts in 2024. The global economy is still instable following factors such as high market rates and geopolitical uncertainty. The current market conditions combined with large supply on the existing home market continue to impact the housing market and subsequently JM's sales and costs.

Consumers' buying power during the first half of the year was strengthened slightly, but since the period from when the customer signs an agreement to occupancy is often long, the market for newly produced housing is more exposed than the existing home market when households' finances are strained. Signals of an improved housing market are evident primarily in our Swedish and Norwegian submarkets. Household expectations that interest rates will be cut and the development in housing prices are increasing consumers' willingness to buy a new home.

Prices on the existing home market during the first half of the year have increased in the Swedish and Norwegian markets. In Finland, prices increased slightly at the end of the second quarter and the expectation is that they will slowly continue to increase during the second half of the year.

During the second quarter, Statistics Sweden lowered its forecast for population growth in Sweden, but the underlying need for housing continues to be larger than the yearly housing starts on all of the Group's submarkets. The Group's housing starts and sales increased but continued to be at a historically low level during the first half of the year. In order for the housing market to stabilize and for more consumers to be prepared to buy a new home, increased buying power is required, most likely through further interest rate cuts.

Sales increased in line with the corresponding period in the previous year, and the number of sold residential units in the form of signed contracts amounted to 1,555 (842).

The percentage of sold and reserved residential units in relation to current production amounted to 58 percent (58). The interval 60–65 percent is considered a normal level. JM Residential Stockholm sold 391 residential units (117), JM Residential Sweden sold 350 (253), JM Norway sold 205 (221), JM Finland sold 331 (33), and JM Property Development sold 278 (218).

The number of housing starts increased to 867 (668). JM Residential Stockholm started production on 398 residential units (0), JM Residential Sweden on 74 (298), JM Norway on 188 (181), JM Finland on 207 (34), and JM Property Development on 0 (155). The number of residential units in current production decreased to 4,914 (6,657), of which 443 (662) were rental units in JM Property Development.

Residential building rights

The number of available building rights at the end of the first half of the year amounted to 37,200 (40,400), of which 22,100 (23,100) are reported as development properties in the balance sheet. The carrying amount of development properties decreased in the first half of the year to SEK 8,110m (8,736).

During the first half of the year, residential development properties of SEK 351m (710) were acquired, of which SEK 269m (627) refers to JM Residential Stockholm, SEK 7m (49) to JM Residential Sweden, SEK 3m (0) to JM Norway, and SEK 73m (34) to JM Finland.

Revenue, operating profit and operating margin

JANUARY– JUNE 2024

Group revenue for the first half of the year according to segment reporting decreased to SEK 6,617m (7,598). The decreased revenue was primarily attributable to a low level of residential units in current production, which to some extent was offset by commercial projects in production.

Operating profit according to segment reporting decreased to SEK 329m (676), and the operating margin decreased to 5.0 percent (8.9), which was primarily attributable to price reductions in select ongoing projects, a majority of housing starts with a low sales ratio, and increased costs in current production.

Revenue restated according to IFRS decreased to SEK 7,432m (8,071), which is primarily attributable to a lower number of handed over residential units than in the previous year. This was to some extent offset by commercial projects in production and the sale of the completed rental project Dyrvers Kulle. During the first half of the year, 1,321 residential units (1,401) were handed over and revenue recognized.

Operating profit restated according to IFRS decreased to SEK 414m (962). The decrease was primarily attributable to a lower number of handed over and revenue recognized residential units with a lower margin.

A P RIL–JU N E 202 4

Consolidated revenue according to segment reporting during the second quarter was in line with the corresponding period the previous year and amounted to SEK 3,583m (3,636).

Operating profit according to segment reporting decreased to SEK 169m (258), and the operating margin decreased to 4.7 percent (7.1), which is primarily attributable to several housing starts with a low sales ratio, price adjustments in select current projects, and continued high costs in current production.

Revenue restated according to IFRS increased to SEK 4,668m (3,375), which was primarily attributable to the sale of the completed rental project Dyrvers Kulle. During the second quarter, 687 residential units (735) were handed over and revenue recognized. Operating profit restated according to IFRS decreased to SEK 288m (314), which primarily was attributable to a lower number of handed over and revenue recognized residential units with lower margin.

Financial items

JA N U A R Y–JU N E 202 4

Net financial items according to segment reporting weakened compared to the corresponding period the previous year primarily due to a higher level of interest-bearing liabilities combined with a higher interest rate level on average. The total interest-bearing liabilities according to segment reporting were SEK 2,574m (2,202), of which the pension liability comprised SEK 1,525m (1,305). At the end of the first half of the year, the average interest rate for the total interest-bearing loan stock including the pension liability was 4.4 percent (4.3). The average term for fixed-rate loans, excluding the pension liability, was 0.3 years (0.3).

Consolidated available liquidity according to segment reporting decreased to SEK 3,267m (3,499). Aside from cash and cash equivalents of SEK 417m (699), this included unutilized overdraft facilities and credit lines totaling SEK 2,850m (2,800) out of a total of SEK 3,150m (2,800), where credit agreements for SEK 2,750m (2,400) had an average maturity of 2.4 years (3.0).

Interest-bearing net liabilities including pension liabilities according to segment reporting totaled SEK 2,151m (1,498) at the end of the period. Non-interest-bearing liabilities for completed property acquisitions amounted to SEK 517m (492). Of these liabilities, SEK 278m (80) were current.

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

The effective tax rate according to segment reporting amounted to 38 percent (21) and was negatively impacted by limitations on interest rate deductions.

Cash flow

JA N U A R Y–JU N E 202 4

Cash flow from operating activities according to segment reporting was SEK −285m (–351) and improved compared to the corresponding period the previous year. The improvement was primarily attributable to the decrease in net investments in development properties compared to the corresponding period the previous year and resulted in a positive cash flow of SEK 110m (–308). The change in unsold residential units in the balance sheet resulted in a positive cash flow of SEK 168m (−244). Consolidated cash flow attributable to project properties (sales minus investment) resulted in a positive cash flow of SEK 322m (−307), primarily due to payment received from property sales of SEK 410m (3). This was offset somewhat by a decrease in operating profit and a negative change in other working capital.

A P RIL–JU N E 202 4

Cash flow from operating activities for the second quarter was SEK 663m (–1,143) and increased compared to the corresponding period the previous year. The improvement was attributable to the decrease in net investments in development properties compared to the corresponding period the previous year and resulted in a positive cash flow of SEK 127m (–470). The change in unsold residential units in the balance sheet resulted in a negative cash flow of SEK –2m (−102). Consolidated cash flow attributable to project properties (sales minus investment) resulted in a positive cash flow of SEK 429m (−158), primarily due to payment received for property sales of SEK 410m (3). Other working capital improved primarily due to payment received for the sale of developed land. During the second quarter, SEK 194m (903) was paid in dividends.

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 continued to increase during the second 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 was cautious, but activity was slightly higher during the spring. The general expectation that interest rates will be cut later in the year resulted in customers showing increased interest in JM's projects, and sales increased compared to the corresponding period the previous year. The willingness to sign a contract early has improved compared to the previous quarter.

The absence of necessary authority decisions had a negative impact on the business segment's housing starts, which in the second quarter related to one project with 46 residential units.

Compared to the corresponding period the previous year, revenue increased in the second quarter, primarily as a result of an increase in housing starts. However, operating profit decreased due to continued price adjustments in select ongoing projects.

Revenue for the first half of the year was in line with the previous year, but operating profit was lower, primarily due to higher financing costs, price adjustments in select ongoing projects, and a worse project mix.

Cash flow for both the second quarter and the first half of the year improved compared to the corresponding period the previous year primarily due to lower investments in development properties and more housing starts. However, cash flow was burdened by an increase in working capital and lower operating profit.

Production was started in the second quarter on 253 residential units in apartment buildings in Nacka, Solna and Stockholm. Legal title was trasferred and payment was made regarding a previous land allocation for approximately 230 building rights in Kista, Stockholm.

The business segment entered into an agreement for the sale of a property in Frihamnen, Stockholm. The transaction amounts to SEK 92m with gains of approximately SEK 17m and is reported in the third quarter.

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 tenantowned units increased slightly on most of the business segment's submarkets in the second quarter. Single-family home prices increased on all submarkets.

On the existing home market, supply continued to be at very high levels and was significantly higher than in the corresponding period the previous year. The supply of new production continued to be at very low levels, with the exception of Gothenburg, and was in line with the corresponding period the previous year.

The business segment's sales ratio was at the same level as the previous quarter with a continued strong focus on sales of residential units that are close to occupancy or completed. The willingness to sign a contract early was below normal, but there was greater interest in signing a contract early in some projects that entered production recently.

Compared to the corresponding period the previous year, revenue and operating profit decreased in the second quarter due to price adjustments in select ongoing projects, fewer housing starts, and continued high financing costs.

Revenue and operating profit for the first half of the year decreased compared to the corresponding period the previous year as a result of low current production, price adjustments in select ongoing projects, fewer housing starts, and continued high financing costs.

Cash flow for both the second quarter and the first half of the year improved slightly compared to the corresponding period the previous year primarily due to a reduction in restricted working capital.

During the second quarter, production started on a total of 74 residential units in Hjärup in Staffanstorp Municipality, Öjersjö in Partille Municipality, and Skölsta in Uppsala Municipality.

No building rights were acquired in the second quarter.

JM Norway

The business segment develops residential projects in Norway. Operations include acquisitions of development properties, planning, pre‑construction, production and sales of residential units.

The average price level on the existing home market continued to increase during the second quarter. Norway's central bank left the key rate unchanged in the second quarter and signaled that interest rate cuts most likely would not occur until the first quarter of 2025.

During the first half of the year, sales of residential units on the existing home market was higher than in the corresponding period the previous year. Even the sale of newly produced residential units was at a higher level than in the corresponding period the previous year. The demand for newly produced residential units continued to be low in the second quarter.

Revenue and operating profit for the second quarter decreased compared to the corresponding period the previous year primarily due to lower sales and lower production volume.

Revenue for the first half of the year decreased compared to the previous year as a result of lower sales and fewer

housing starts. The operating profit improved due to the sale of developed land, which to some extent was offset by lower sales. Higher production and financing costs from earlier periods continued to burden the operating profit.

Cash flow from the second quarter improved compared to the corresponding period the previous year primarily due to payment received for sold developed land. Cash flow for the first half of the year decreased compared to the corresponding period the previous year primarily due to major investments and payment made for land.

During the second quarter, production started on the first phase of the project Allergottskogen in Jessheim outside of Oslo with 65 residential units, the fifth phase of Bergerløkka in Asker with 41 residential units, and the last phase of Myrvoll in Nordre Follo with 77 residential units.

No building rights were acquired in the second quarter.

JM Finland

The business segment develops residential projects in Finland. Operations include acquisitions of development properties, planning, pre‑construction, production and sales of residential units.

The activity on the housing market in the Helsinki region increased slightly during the second quarter. The European central bank made a first interest rate cut but signaled at the same time that future adjustments to the key rate will occur slowly. This, together with the continued low consumer confidence, limited customers' willingness to buy a home. The price level on the existing home market at the end of the second quarter was at a lower level than in the corresponding period the previous year but showed positive development in recent months and increased slightly in the second quarter.

The business segment's sales were higher than in the corresponding period the previous year. During the second quarter, 35 completed residential units were sold and handed over to a joint venture owned by JM and an external investor.

Revenue and operating profit for the second quarter increased compared to the corresponding period the previous year, primarily due to more housing starts and increased sales to investors.

Revenue for the first half of the year increased compared to the corresponding period the previous year due to more housing starts. Operating profit decreased compared to the corresponding period the previous year primarily due to lower sales to private customers and price adjustments in select projects.

Cash flow for both the quarter and the first half of the year improved compared to the previous year primarily due to more housing starts.

During the second quarter, JM started production on a total of 207 residential units in Espoo and Helsinki and acquired 37 building rights in Espoo.

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.

The business segment's revenue and operating profit for both the second quarter and the first half of the year increased compared to the corresponding period the previous year as a result of an increased project volume, index regulation of the purchase price in the ongoing office project, and the sale of the rental project Flora that took place in the second quarter. The project comprises 155 residential units and is in current production. Profit and revenue recognition will occur gradually starting in the second quarter of 2024.

During the second quarter, the completed rental project Dyrvers Kulle with 123 residential units was sold and the legal title transferred.

Cash flow for the second quarter improved compared to the previous year due to the payment received for the Dyrvers Kulle project. Cash flow for the first half of the year decreased

in comparison to the previous period since the business segment in 2023 received a deposit and project financing in a sold property under construction and has an increased project volume in ongoing projects in 2024.

The business segment has four projects in current production, for which profit and revenue recognition occurs gradually during construction: the office project K1 Karlbergs Strand, with estimated completion in the first quarter of 2025; the rental project Kvarter 8, with estimated completion in the third quarter of 2024; the residential care building Pilhamns Gårdar, with estimated completion in the fourth quarter of 2024; and the rental project Flora, with estimate completion in the third quarter of 2025. During the second quarter, the rental project Igelsta Trädkrona in Södertälje with 96 residential units was completed.

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.

Like in previous years, JM's efforts to reduce emissions have been recognized in Financial Times' annual analysis, where JM once again is among the 300 companies in Europe that reduced their emissions the most over a five-year period. The companies on the list are those that reduced emissions and energy consumption in their in-house production the most (Scopes 1 and 2). Transparency related to emissions arising within the entire value chain (Scope 3) are also considered. JM was one of approximately 50 Swedish companies in the 300 thanks to its efforts to improve energy efficiency at construction sites and reduced emissions from our work machinery.

During the second quarter, JM was named Best in Construction Industry 2024 in Sweden for equal working conditions. This is the result of the annual index compiled by Nyckeltalsinstitutet to measure equality at companies based on nine key performance indicators that highlight important aspects of equality. To increase equality at its construction sites, JM has an apprentice program for female workers and ensured that JM's supplier of work clothes also developed a range suitable for women.

In order to decrease the climate risks related to increased occurrence of extreme weather and ensure compliance with the EU taxonomy and Swan Ecolabel 4.0, JM updated its method of working to detect and manage climate risks in an efficient manner. All construction projects within JM will now undergo a thorough risk analysis process when JM evaluates acquisition possibilities in

the local planning stage and evaluate the risk analysis when a project is closed. The result of this updated method of working will lead to lower costs for climate adaptation since it will enable relevant adjustments at an early stage.

During the second quarter, JM introduced a requirement that 80 percent of the factory concrete at a construction site must be Level 2 or better in Sweden and Norway. This means that the concrete that is used has a reduced carbon footprint of at least 20 percent compared to the industry benchmark. The introduction of this requirement is estimated to entail a reduction of at least 2,000 tons of CO2e per year or 8 kg CO2e/m2 GFA.

JM is working to reduce the climate impact on the entire value chain and would also like to inspire other actors to reduce their climate impact; JM has been part of the Haga Initiative for a long time and during the quarter released its fourteenth climate report. Together with twenty other leading companies in different industries, JM is working to shift the commercial sector and decision-makers toward a more sustainable direction. Together, the companies' emissions are decreasing by 11.9 million tons or 20 percent compared to a baseline year. The outcome from JM's sustainability work and roadmap were presented during the quarter at JM's annual Capital Market Day and in various external forums such as HS30 and Klimatarena Stockholm. JM's employees have access to a webinar where the outcome is presented.

Notes

Note 1 Accounting principles

This interim report for the first six months of 2024 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 2024

No amendments to standards and interpretations that entered into force on January 1, 2024, have had a material impact on this financial statement.

Change in accounting principle operating segment

As of January 1, 2024, the operating segment JM Construction has been absorbed into the Group since the business no longer is of such a scope that it constitutes its own business segment. Other than this, the accounting principles and methods of calculation for the Group have not changed compared to the description on pages 71–75 in the 2023 Annual and Sustainability Report.

Segment reporting

JM's segment reporting primarily differs from IFRS in three respects:

  • In the segment reporting, revenue from the Group's housing development is recognized gradually over time.
  • 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.
