Increased sales in competition with large supply on existing home market

Lower inflation and an expectation of decreasing interest rates had a positive impact on all housing markets where JM is active. In Sweden, continued cuts to interest rates and thus stabilized housing prices meant that the supply on the existing home market reached record-high levels at the same time as the market for new production has continued to be cautious. The supply on the existing home market was high in Norway as well, but sales increased from low levels on both the existing home market and the new production market. In Finland, the housing market brightened somewhat and housing prices increased slightly, but due to low consumer confidence, the housing market is still cautious, and the supply of new production is relatively high. Despite cautious markets, we are seeing good interest in JM's residential units, and we have been able to start production on more residential units than in the previous year. However, if the housing market is to improve further, increased consumer buying power is required, which is expected through additional interest rate cuts.

Revenue in the third quarter amounted to SEK 2,515m (2,846), where the decrease was attributable to fewer residential units in production compared to the corresponding period the previous year. Operating profit amounted to SEK 95m (146) and was lower than in the previous year, primarily due to recognition of projects with lower margins due to high production costs and previous price reductions. This also resulted in the operating margin being lower than in the previous year.

Increased sales and more housing starts

Sales in the third quarter were seasonally lower than in the second quarter, but significantly higher than in the same period the previous year. Sales to consumers increased sharply, primarily in JM Residential Stockholm, despite the large supply on the existing home market. Sales of rental units to investors increased, and in particular we sold rental projects in both JM Residential Sweden and JM Norway during the quarter. We also signed a conditional agreement for the sale of a rental project in JM Property Development. As a result of the good sales in the quarter, the percentage of sold and reserved residential units in current production increased further in the quarter and is now within the long-term target of 60 to 65 percent.

JM Residential Stockholm increased its sales sharply compared to the same quarter the previous year, and it also started new projects in Nacka and Solna. Revenue in the quarter was lower than in the previous year due to fewer residential units in production, and profit was burdened by continued price adjustments and high production costs. JM Residential Sweden started new projects in Mölndal, Västerås and Uppsala, and sales improved. Revenue was lower than in the previous year due to fewer residential units in production. Operating profit and the operating margin decreased due to lower project margins in current projects. JM Norway's sales increased, and new projects were started in Bergen and Oslo, among other locations. Revenue and the operating profit decreased in Norway as well as a result of fewer residential units in production, but the margin was strengthened compared to the same quarter the previous year. JM Finland increased its revenue in the third quarter thanks to more residential units in current production, while profit was burdened by price reductions in projects close to

"We have increased sales in a market that continues to be cautious"

completion. Sales to consumers in Finland increased sharply from a low level. No projects were started in the quarter. JM Property Development increased its revenue and operating profit thanks to a large project volume and index regulation in current projects. No new projects were started in the business segment during the quarter.

Improved cash flow

Cash flow improved in the third quarter as an increased number of housing starts resulted in increased project financing at the same time as we have been restrictive with investments in development properties. The number of repurchased unsold residential units increased but was at a balanced level. JM continues to prioritize good liquidity to maintain production and to maintain staffing to the greatest extent possible in preparation for when the market turns. However, the sharp decrease in the production volume in current projects, meant that we were forced to announce the potential redundancy of approximately 150 employees in Sweden in the third quarter.

We have increased sales in a market that continues to be cautious, but we are noting at the same time that it will take longer to reach what can be considered a normalized housing market. As a result, this also means that JM will not be following through with its previous intention to propose in the fourth quarter an extra dividend for the 2023 business year. With greater financial flexibility, we can further strengthen our operating activities and to a high degree take advantage of the business opportunities that arise on an ongoing basis.

We continue to believe that our markets will gradually recover, but the assessment is that additional interest rate cuts are required for more consumers to be able to purchase a newly produced home. A strong structure capital and an industrial production process have led to a market-leading position, but we will not wait for the market to return to previous levels. We are intensifying our work to shorten lead times and lower the cost level in the projects.

Mikael Åslund, President and CEO

Market, sales and housing starts

JANUARY– SEPTEMBER 2024

During the nine-month period, inflation decreased on all of the Group's submarkets. The European central bank and the Swedish central bank continued to cut market rates in the third quarter, while the Norwegian central bank continued to postpone interest rate cuts. The global economy continued to be instable following factors such as high market rates and geopolitical uncertainty. The current market conditions combined with the high supply on the existing home market continued to impact the housing market and subsequently JM's sales and costs.

Consumers' buying power during the nine-month period was strengthened compared to the corresponding period the previous year. However, 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 of additional interest rate cuts and the development in housing prices are increasing consumers' willingness to buy a new home.

Prices on the existing home market during the nine-month period have increased, primarily in the Swedish and the Norwegian markets. In Finland, prices increased slightly with an expectation from the market that they will continue to increase in the fourth quarter.

The underlying need for residential units continues to be larger than the annual housing starts in all of the Group's submarkets. The Group's housing starts and sales increased, but residential units in production continued to be at a low level, which is why the Group was forced in the third quarter to announce the potential redundancy of approximately 150 production employees in Sweden due to a work shortage. In order for the housing market to improve 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 2,204 (1,128).

The percentage of sold and reserved residential units in relation to current production amounted to 61 percent (56). The interval 60–65 percent is considered a normal level. JM Residential Stockholm sold 553 residential units (191), JM Residential Sweden sold 631 (392), JM Norway sold 370 (292), JM Finland sold 372 (35), and JM Property Development sold 278 (218).

The number of housing starts increased to 1,504 (869). JM Residential Stockholm started production on 542 residential units (133), JM Residential Sweden on 380 (298), JM Norway on 375 (249), JM Finland on 207 (34), and JM Property Development on 0 (155). The number of residential units in current production decreased to 4,978 (6,188).

Residential building rights

The number of available building rights at the end of the third quarter amounted to 37,000 (39,900), of which 22,100 (23,200) are reported as development properties in the balance sheet. The carrying amount of development properties decreased in the first three quarters of the year to SEK 7,966m (9,003).

JM acquired development properties for residential units during the nine-month period for SEK 574m (1,188), of which SEK 271m (634) relates to JM Residential Stockholm, SEK 87m (49) to JM Residential Sweden, SEK 3m (471) to JM Norway, and SEK 213m (35) to JM Finland.

Revenue, operating profit and operating margin

JANUARY–SEPTEMBER 2024

Consolidated revenue according to segment reporting decreased during the nine-month period to SEK 9,132m (10,444). 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 424m (822), and the operating margin decreased to 4.6 percent (7.9), which was primarily attributable to price reductions in select ongoing projects,a majority of housing starts with a low sales ratio, and high costs in current production.

Revenue according to IFRS decreased to SEK 10,271m (12,528), which was 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 in the second quarter. During the period, 1,828 residential units (1,992) were handed over to consumers and revenue recognized. At the same time, 1,182 residential units (647) in current production have been sold to investors and for which profit and revenue recognition occurred gradually during construction.

Operating profit according to IFRS decreased to SEK 520m (1,462), attributable primarily to a lower number of handed-over and revenue-recognized residential units with a lower margin.

JULY–SEPTEM BER 2024

Consolidated revenue according to segment reporting decreased to SEK 2,515m ( 2,846). The decreased revenue was primarily attributable to a low level of residential units in current production.

Operating profit according to segment reporting decreased to SEK 95m (146), and the operating margin decreased to 3.8 percent (5.1), which is primarily attributable to multiple housing starts with a low sales ratio, price adjustments in select current projects, and continued high costs in current production.

Operating profit according to IFRS decreased to SEK 2,839m (4,457), which primarily was attributable to a lower number of handed-over residential units. During the third quarter, 507 residential units (591) were handed over to consumers and revenue recognized. Operating profit according to IFRS decreased to SEK 106m (500), attributable primarily to a lower number of handed-over and revenue-recognized residential units with a lower margin.

Financial items

JANUARY–SEPTEMBER 2024

Net financial items according to segment reporting deteriorated compared to the corresponding period the previous year primarily due to a higher average level of interest-bearing liabilities in the period. The total interest-bearing liabilities according to segment reporting were SEK 2,326m (2,340), of which the pension liability comprised SEK 1,668m (1,299). At the end of the period, the average interest rate for the total interest-bearing loan stock including the pension liability was 4.1 percent (4.6). The average term for fixed-rate loans, excluding the pension liability, was 0.2 years (0.2).

Consolidated available liquidity according to segment reporting amounted to SEK 3,615m (3,542). Aside from cash and cash equivalents of SEK 465m (742), this included unutilized overdraft facilities and credit lines totaling SEK 3,150m (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 2.2 years (2.9).

Interest-bearing net liabilities including the pension liability according to segment reporting amounted at the end of the period to SEK 1,856m (1,587). Non-interest-bearing liabilities for completed property acquisitions amounted to SEK 644m (707), of which SEK 405m (294) 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 41 percent (24) and was negatively impacted by limitations on interest rate deductions.

Cash flow

JANUARY–SEPTEMBER 2024

Cash flow from operating activities according to segment reporting was SEK 132m (–452). The improvement was primarily attributable to a decrease in net investments in development properties compared to the corresponding period the previous year and resulted in a positive cash flow of SEK 363m (–415) and that the change in unsold residential units in the balance sheet resulted in a positive cash flow of SEK 177m (–502). Consolidated cash flow attributable to project properties resulted in a positive cash flow of SEK 308m (−367) primarily due to payment received from property sales of SEK 410m (26) in the second quarter. This was offset somewhat by a lower operating profit and an increase in other working capital.

JULY–SEPTEM BER 2024

Cash flow from operating activities for the third quarter was SEK 418m (–101). The improvement was attributable to the decrease in net investments in development properties and resulted in a positive cash flow of SEK 252m (–107). The change in unsold residential units in the balance sheet resulted in a positive cash flow of SEK 10m (−257). Consolidated cash flow attributable to project properties improved and amounted to SEK −14m (−61).

JM Residential Stockholm

The 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 were stable 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 was cautious, but activity gradually increased during the year. The interest rate cuts and the general expectation that interest rates will be cut again 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 gradually during the year.

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

Revenue for both the nine-month period and the third quarter decreased compared to the corresponding period the previous year primarily due to a lower number of residential units in current production.

Operating profit decreased primarily due to continued price adjustments in select projects, high financing costs, and a poorer project mix.

Cash flow for both the third quarter and the nine-month period improved compared to the corresponding period the previous year, primarily due to lower investments in development properties and more housing starts. Cash flow was burdened, however, by increased working capital and lower operating profit.

Production was started in the third quarter on 144 residential units in apartment buildings in Nacka and Solna.

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

No building rights were acquired in the third quarter.

JM Residential Sweden

The business segment develops residential projects in growth areas in Sweden, excluding Greater Stockholm. Operations include acquisitions of development properties, planning, pre‑construction, production and sales of residential units.

During the third quarter, the average prices on the existing home market increased for tenant-owned units in the submarkets of all business segments and in particular in the university cities. Singlefamily home prices also increased slightly 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 very low, with the exception of Gothenburg, and was slightly lower than in the corresponding period the previous year.

The business segment's rate of sales was higher than the first two quarters, which in part is due to the sale of the rental project Lindblomman in Bäcklösa, Uppsala, with 134 residential units. The business segment continued to have a strong focus on sales of residential units that are close to the date of occupancy and completed residential units. Customers' willingness to sign a contract early was at a normal level, but was greater in some projects that entered production during the last twelve months.

Compared to the corresponding period the previous year, revenue and operating profit decreased in the third quarter due to price adjustments in current projects and a continued low level of housing starts.

Compared to the corresponding period the previous year, revenue and operating profit decreased in the first nine months due to low current production, price adjustments in current projects, fewer housing starts, and continued high financing costs.

Cash flow in both the third quarter and the nine-month period improved due to a reduction in restricted working capital.

During the third quarter, production was started on 306 residential units in Södra Toltorp in Mölndal Municipality, in Öster Mälarstrand in Västerås Municipality, and in Bäcklösa and Kapellgärdet in Uppsala Municipality. Approximately 220 building rights were acquired in the third quarter in Gothenburg and Sigtuna.

CASH FLOW JM RESIDENTIAL SWEDEN

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 price level on the existing home market was unchanged in the third quarter, but it increased during the first nine months of the year. Norway's central bank left the key rate unchanged and is maintaining its assessment that interest rate cuts most likely would not occur until the first quarter of 2025.

Both the sale of homes on the existing home market and newly produced residential units on the Norwegian market were higher at the end of the quarter than in the previous year, and sales of JM's residential units in third quarter were at a higher level than in the corresponding period the previous year.

Revenue and operating profit for the third quarter were lower compared to the corresponding period the previous year primarily due to lower production volume, while the operating margin improved.

Revenue for the nine-month period decreased due to lower production volumes. Operating profit improved thanks to the sale of developed land.

The cash flow for both the third quarter and the nine-month period improved compared to the corresponding period the

previous year, primarily due to a lower level of investments in development properties and payment for sold developed land received in the second quarter.

During the third quarter, production was started on 60 residential units in apartment buildings in Ørnafjellet in Askøy, Bergen, 6 single-family homes in Rydningen in Tønsberg, and 121 residential units in apartment buildings in Karihaugen, Oslo. The majority of this last project has been sold to an investor.

During the third quarter, an agreement was signed for the acquisition of approximately 350 building rights at Høn in Asker outside of Oslo. The agreement is conditional on the local planning gaining final approval.

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 continued to increase slightly during the third quarter. The European central bank made an additional cut to the interest rate in September. Despite lower accommodation costs, the low consumer confidence continued to limit customers' willingness to buy a home. The price level on the existing home market at the end of the third quarter was at a lower level than in the corresponding period the previous year. However, prices had increased slightly since the start of the year.

The business segment's sales were significantly higher than in the corresponding period the previous year primarily due to an increased number of projects sold to investors.

Revenue for the third quarter increased compared to the corresponding period the previous year, primarily attributable to more residential units in current production. However, operating profit decreased, primarily due to price adjustments in select projects.

Revenue for the nine-month period increased compared to the corresponding period the previous year due to an increase in the number of housing starts. However, operating profit decreased, primarily due to price adjustments in select projects.

Cash flow for both the quarter and the nine-month period improved compared to the corresponding period the previous year, primarily due to more residential units in current production.

During the third quarter, there were no housing starts, but 770 building rights were acquired in Nokia in Tampere.

JM Property Development

The business segment primarily develops rental units, residential care units and commercial properties in Greater Stockholm. 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 third quarter and the first nine months increased compared to the corresponding period the previous year. This was due to an increased project volume in current production, index regulation of the purchase price in an ongoing office project, and the sale of the rental project Flora in Söderdalen in Järfälla that was completed in the second quarter.

Cash flow in the third quarter improved compared to the corresponding period the previous year due to increased project financing and payment received from the transfer of legal title of the rental project Kvarter 8 in Söderdalen in Järfälla. Cash flow for the nine-month period was positive, primarily due to the sale and transfer of legal title of the rental project Dyrvers Kulle in Sundbyberg in the second quarter and project financing in current projects. Compared to the corresponding period the

previous year, cash flow decreased due to lower project financing in relation to the project volume.

During the third quarter, the business segment entered into a conditional agreement for the sale of the project Igelsta Trädkrona in Södertälje with 96 residential units. The transaction amounts to SEK 209m with a loss of SEK –16m, which burdens the third quarter by a corresponding impairment. Transfer of legal title and payment will occur in the fourth quarter of 2024.

The business segment has three 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 fourth quarter of 2024; the residential care building Pilhamns Gårdar, with estimated completion in the fourth quarter of 2024; and the rental project Flora, with estimated completion in the third quarter of 2025.

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.

In order to reach its climate goal by 2030, JM is continuing to work with climate-improved concrete. More than half of the Group's carbon emissions come from concrete, with cement representing the largest share of the concrete's climate impact. In 2024, JM rose to Level 2 in climate-improved concrete, which entails a 20 percent reduction in CO2 emissions. In Sweden, JM is now primarily using concrete where parts of the cement have been replaced with ground granulated blast furnace slag, which is a residual from the steel industry. The development work is continuing, and JM is now implementing tests of Level 4 climate-improved concrete (40 percent reduced CO2 emissions), where data is being obtained and analyzed. The tests are performed during all seasons of the year to provide a comprehensive evaluation of the concrete's consistency, durability growth, dehydration and impact on production and lead times. The outcome of initial tests has been positive and fulfilled the critical durability levels within the framework of our time plan. Once we have been able to determine how Level 4 climateimproved concrete works during the winter months, this will create more possibilities for reaching our climate goal for 2030.

JM is working actively to accelerate the industry's climate transition through initiatives and collaborations within innovative technology. New material that reduces the climate impact are key focus areas to support JM's road map toward carbon emissions close to zero. One example of such a collaboration is related to

unique technology for adapting biocarbon for carbon dioxide-negative building material, where carbon sinks are created in, for example, facades or interiors. Biocarbon is made from residual waste from other industries and permanently binds a lot of carbon dioxide, which through new technology can create a circular material flow for our industry.

Starting in the third quarter, JM has a representative in the Delegation for a Circular Economy. This delegation is an advisory body for the Swedish Government, with the aim of facilitating and driving the commercial transition to a circular economy. Building material represents a large portion of the construction industry's emissions, and reuse plays a significant role in JM's efforts to achieve its climate goals. This requires political support to create an effective and scalable reuse market, which in turn creates conditions for systematically being able to use reused material in new production.

To engage children and youth in the development of their local areas, JM aspires to collaborating with schools and associations in the municipalities where it is developing new residential blocks. One such example is Söderdalen in Järfälla, where upper secondary school students in the building program designed and built a playground that opened during the third quarter as part of a greater initiative to improve the area's enjoyment and sense of community. This type of initiative also contributes to opportunities to increase interest among children and youth for the construction industry.

Other information

Other activities

Other activities includes primarily external contracting work that is conducted by JM AB's subsidiary JM Entreprenad AB. Net sales for the nine-month period amounted to SEK 437m (632) and operating profit to SEK −2m (7).

Risks and uncertainty factors

JM's risk and risk management policies are presented in the 2023 annual and sustainability report on pages 63–64. The risk assessment has not changed in relation to what is presented there.

Personnel

As at the end of the third quarter, there were 2,010 (2,239) employees. There were 734 (839) wage-earners and 1,276 (1,400) salaried employees.

Related parties

No significant transactions with related parties occurred during the period other than the normal transactions between JM's Group companies and joint arrangements. The transactions occurred at market terms.

Holdings of own shares

As at the end of the third quarter of 2024, JM holds no own shares. The number of outstanding shares on September 30, 2024, amounted to 64,504,840.

Dividends

In conjunction with the Year-End Report in January 2024, the Board of Directors announced its intention to revisit in the fourth quarter of 2024 the potential for another dividend of SEK 3.00 for the 2023 financial year, assuming that the outlooks for the housing market improved to a reasonable extent. Since the housing market for new production has not developed as positively as previously assessed, the Board of Directors has now decided not to convene for an extraordinary general meeting during the fourth quarter. The regular dividend for the 2023 financial year thus corresponds to a dividend pay-out ratio of 45 percent, which is in line with JM's benchmark dividend pay-out ratio of 50 percent of earnings per share.

Significant events during and after the end of the quarter

In September 2024, JM took measures to adapt the operations to lower production volumes and announced the potential redundancy of approximately 150 employees in production in Sweden due to a work shortage.

Notes

Note 1 Accounting principles

This interim report for the first nine 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 IFRS® Accounting Standards as adopted by the EU. The Parent Company's accounts were prepared in accordance with RFR 2 Accounting for Legal Entities.

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.

Auditor's report JM AB (publ) reg. no. 556045-2103

Introduction

We have reviewed the condensed interim financial information (interim report) of JM AB as of 30 September 2024 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.
