For definitions of key figures, see www.ncc.group/ Investor-relations/ Financial-data/ Financial-definitions

Comparative figures for NCC Building and NCC Infrastructure have been recalculated due to the introduction of new accounting policies according to IFRS 15; also refer to Note 1 Accounting policies.

CEO Tomas Carlsson comments

The business areas delivered about on a par with the year-earlier period during the second quarter except for NCC Property Development, which had fewer sales transactions to recognize in profit. NCC's profit after financial items totaled SEK 427 M (484) in the second quarter and SEK 55 M (709) in the first half of the year.

Market and orders received

Following a first quarter in which NCC reported very high orders received, the outcome was lower in the second quarter. Nonetheless, market conditions remain generally favorable and orders received in the first half of the year as a whole were at a healthy level and higher year-on-year.

High order backlog

NCC's order backlog is at a high level although the average production time has risen since the order backlog contains more large projects. The high order backlog contributed to an increase in net sales in NCC Building, NCC Infrastructure and NCC Industry in the second quarter.

Lower earnings

Second-quarter earnings were slightly lower year-onyear. Only NCC Building improved its earnings, primarily after reaching an agreement with a customer regarding two projects in Denmark, enabling us to reverse provisions. NCC Infrastructure's earnings continued to be burdened by weak profitability in road-services and in the Norwegian civil engineering operations. Earnings for NCC Industry were in line with the preceding year, while NCC Property Development had fewer sales transactions to recognize in profit in the second quarter.

First months as CEO

I took office as CEO on May 7 and I spent the second quarter familiarizing myself with the organization and reviewing the business situation. This involved me studying ongoing projects in the order backlog, provisions and accounts receivable, balance sheet items such as properties held for future development and other assets. I am also examining how the tendering and project management processes are being conducted. Two months is too short to draw any conclusions from this work and I expect to complete my analysis and establish the way forward for NCC during the third quarter.

Tomas Carlsson, President and CEO Solna, July 18, 2018

Group performance

The period January-June 2018

Orders received and order backlog

Orders received amounted to SEK 13,834 M (16,385) in the second quarter and increased to SEK 31,355 M (27,816) in the first half of the year due to the higher orders received in NCC Infrastructure. Changes in exchange rates increased orders received in the first half of the year by SEK 408 M (302).

The Group's order backlog amounted to SEK 58,741 (52,239). Changes in exchange rates increased the value of the order backlog by SEK 1,301 M (neg: 202).

Net sales and earnings

Net sales amounted to SEK 14,349 M (13,345) in the second quarter and to SEK 25,244 M (25,093) in the first half of the year. Net sales in the first half of the year in the Building, Infrastructure and Industry business areas were higher year-on-year, while NCC Property Development reported lower sales since fewer and significantly smaller property projects were recognized in profit this year. Changes in exchange rates increased sales in the first half of the year by SEK 330 M (337).

NCC's operating profit amounted to SEK 452 M (510) in the second quarter and to SEK 88 M (754) in the first half of the year. The change compared with the year-earlier period for the first six months of the year is largely due to developments in the first quarter. The lower earnings in the first half of the year were due primarily to NCC Property Development reporting a lower operating profit compared with 2017 as a result of more and larger projects being recognized in profit during the first half of 2017. NCC Building improved its operating profit through higher sales and the reversal of previous provisions. The improvement in NCC Infrastructure's operating profit was primarily driven by higher sales and lower overhead costs. NCC Industry's operating profit was lower mainly as a result of the delayed start to the season in the Danish asphalt operations and lower activity in foundation engineering operations.

*Target: 5% average yearly growth.

Equity/assets ratio and return on equity Net indebtedness (excl. pension debt)/EBITDA

Net financial items were an expense of SEK 34 M (expense: 45). Net indebtedness increased year-on-year, which adversely affected net financial items. Lower credit margins, higher capitalization of interest for Property Development and other financial items had a positive impact on net financial items.

Cash flow

Cash flow from operating activities was a negative SEK 2,014 M (0) in the first half of the year. During the first half of the year, two projects were recognized in NCC Property Development's profit, while investments in property projects had a negative impact on cash flow. Four property projects were recognized in profit in the year-earlier period. During the period, seasonally increased accounts receivable resulted in a negative cash flow from other working capital. Total cash and cash equivalents at the end of the quarter amounted to SEK 752 M (2,237).

The Group's net indebtedness at June 30 amounted to SEK Neg 3,084 (neg: 1,232).

The Group's total assets at June 30 amounted to SEK 30,312 M (26,205).

The average maturity period for interest-bearing liabilities, excluding pension debt according to IAS 19, was 25 months (35) at the end of the quarter. At the same date, NCC's unutilized committed lines of credit totaled SEK 3.6 billion (3.4), with an average remaining maturity of 38 (49) months.

Capital employed

Capital employed at June 30 amounted to SEK 9,268 M (8,808), with the rise primarily due to increased investments in ongoing projects in NCC Property Development and generally higher accounts receivable in the Group. The return on capital employed was 5 percent (21) in the second quarter.

Safety

Safety has a high priority and NCC has a zero vision with respect to worksite accidents. The trend in accidents at NCC has pointed downwards since 2011 and the objective is that the accident frequency rate will be reduced to 3.5 in 2020. On a rolling 12-month basis, the accident frequency rate increased during the second quarter of 2018 compared with the corresponding quarter in 2017. Generally, an increase in accidents was noted in Sweden, mainly the number of minor injuries, meaning those leading to one to three days of absence. This was due to the long winter, which among others, resulted in a higher number of weather-related accidents in the first months of the year.

Accident frequency

* Accident frequency: Worksite accidents resulting in one day or more of absence from work per million worked hours.

NCC Building

The period January-June 2018 Product mix

Market

Growth for new production in the Nordic region has declined from high levels. The market for refurbishment was stable. The Swedish market performed favorably. Demand for production of rental units was high but demand for new production of housing cooperativies apartments has fallen sharply in Sweden. Growth in Norway is driven by investments in other buildings. The demand for housing in Finland remains high and investment in the refurbishment segment was stable. The improved economic climate in Denmark is resulting in increased production of housing units and other buildings.

Orders received and order backlog

Orders received declined to SEK 6,460 M (9,012) in the second quarter and to SEK 12,052 M (12,743) in the first half of the year. The change in the second quarter was primarily attributable to a sharp year-on-year decline in the level of orders received for housing units in Sweden. Orders received for housing units in Sweden were on a par with the average for recent years. In 2017, orders received were significantly higher due to several large housing projects.

The order backlog amounted to SEK 29,923 M (30,127) at the end of the period.

Net sales and earnings

Net sales increased to SEK 6,628 M (6,109) in the second quarter and to SEK 12,576 M (11,766) in the first half of the year. The increase derived from Sweden and Denmark.

In terms of sales, Sweden is the largest market and the Swedish operations have a high order backlog to work up moving forward.

Operating profit amounted to SEK 180 M (106) in the second quarter and to SEK 303 M (145) in the first half of the year. Earnings for the quarter were higher year-on-year primarily due to the reversal of provisions following the conclusion of an agreement with a customer regarding two Danish projects.

NCC Infrastructure

The period January-June 2018 Product mix

Market

Public infrastructure initiatives are driving the Nordic market and leading to significant national differences with strong growth in Norway and Sweden.

Orders received and order backlog

Orders received by NCC Infrastructure fell to SEK 3,740 M (4,483) in the second quarter and rose to SEK 13,237 M (9,480) in the first half of the year. NCC Infrastructure has been divided into the following: division Infra, division Road Service, division Civil Engineering Sweden and division Civil Engineering Norway to intensify focus in each area. Increased orders received in the first half of the year were mainly attributable to division Civil Engineering Sweden securing the Central Station railway project, a stage of the West Link in Gothenburg, with an order value SEK 4.7 billion.

The order backlog increased to SEK 24,118 M (18,019) at the end of the period.

Net sales and earnings

Net sales amounted to SEK 4,990 M (4,539) in the second quarter and to SEK 9,284 M (7,903) in the first half of the year. The increase in the first half of the year was the result of higher sales in both division Civil Engineering Sweden and division Infra.

Operating profit amounted to SEK 51 M (70) in the second quarter and to SEK 40 M (4) in the first half of the year. The decline in the quarter was due to the continued weak earnings in the Norwegian civil engineering operations and in division Road Services. The increase in earnings in the first half of the year was due primarily to higher sales and lower overhead costs.

NCC Industry

The period January-June 2018 Product mix

Market

A strong civil engineering market is driving demand for asphalt and stone materials in Norway and Sweden. Sales of stone materials were boosted by high housing production and numerous infrastructure projects. Growth in Denmark and Finland was low or negative. Demand in asphalt for both maintenance and new production was healthy in the Nordic region.

Net sales and earnings

Sales increased to SEK 3,625 M (3,416) in the second quarter and to SEK 4,791 M (4,503) in the first half of the year. The increase was attributable to sales in the Swedish and Norwegian asphalt operations, in the foundation engineering operations and in the Swedish and Danish stone materials operations.

Operating profit amounted to SEK 324 M (336) in the second quarter and a loss of SEK 87 M (profit: 26) in the first half of the year. Second-quarter earnings from the asphalt operations were in line with the preceding year and earnings for the stone materials operations reported a slight improvement, whereas the foundation engineering operations posted lower earnings due to integration costs for the operation acquired in Norway and lower activity in the Swedish operations. The weak start to the year resulted in lower earnings in the first half of the year for all operations.

Capital employed

Capital employed increased seasonally, and as a result of higher investments, by SEK 1.3 billion since year-end and amounted to SEK 5.7 billion.

NCC Property Development

The period January-June 2018 Product mix

Market

Transaction volumes in the Nordic region are at a high level. Low yield requirements from investors and high demand for modern and sustainable new premises provide favorable market conditions.

Net sales and earnings

Net sales amounted to SEK 115 M (185) in the second quarter and to SEK 400 M (2,358) in the first half of the year. A total of two projects were recognized in profit during in the first half of the year, of which Zenit 2 in Denmark in the second quarter. Four property projects and sales of land were recognized in profit in the preceding year.

Operating loss amounted to SEK 16 M (profit: 65) in the second quarter and to SEK 0 M (profit: 658) in the first half of the year. Earnings for the first half of the year were lower year-on-year since fewer and significantly smaller property projects were recognized in profit this year. The sales result in the second quarter derived from the Zenit 2 office project. Earnings in the year-earlier period comprised sales of land and resulta from previous projects recognized in profit.

Property projects

Three projects, Zenit 2 in Denmark, Alberga E in Finland and Lysaker PP11 in Norway were sold in the second quarter. Zenit 2 was recognized in profit in the second quarter and for the date on which other sales are expected to be recognized in profit, refer to the table on page 9. NCC also came to an agreement with Citycon regarding the terms for its acquisition of Mölndal Galleria shopping mall. The sale was recognized as sale of a participation in a company and therefore does not give rise to any net sales. Construction on one project, CH Vallensbæk 4.2 in Denmark, started in the second quarter. Leasing in the first half of the year amounted to 11,400 square meters (38,700), including 5,300 (28,300) in the second quarter.

At the end of the second quarter, 21 projects (19) were either ongoing or completed but not yet recognized in profit. The costs incurred in all projects totaled SEK 2.9 billion (1.8), corresponding to a completion rate of 61 (39) percent. The leasing rate was 61 (51) percent. The operating net amounted to SEK 23 M (28) in the first half of the year and to SEK 12 M (12) in the second quarter.

Capital employed

Investments in ongoing projects increased capital employed, which rose to SEK 5.0 billion at the end of the second quarter.

Note 1. Accounting policies

Group

This interim report has been compiled pursuant to IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The interim report has been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and the interpretations of prevailing accounting standards issued by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC), as approved by the EU.

The interim report has been prepared pursuant to the same accounting policies and methods of calculation as the 2017 Annual Report (Note 1, pages 58–67), apart from in respect of IFRS 15 and IFRS 9, which are being applied as of January 1, 2018 and which have the following impact on the financial statements (for a more detailed description, also refer to the descriptions in the notes mentioned above).

IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers NCC has identified two revenue streams where IFRS 15 has or could have a material impact on NCC's financial statements.

The first revenue stream concerns the Building and Infrastructure business areas and relates to contract modifications covering alterations and supplementary work, compensation for shortcomings in tender specifications and similar items. The requirement to report revenue in the aforementioned situations is higher under IFRS 15 than under IAS 11, in terms of both the documented right to, and probability of, payment from the customer.

The second revenue stream concerns the development of commercial properties in the Property Development business area and whether revenue is to be recognized over time (percentage of completion) or as previously at a specific time (when the property has been completed and

handed over to the customer). NCC's analysis has now been completed and NCC believes that revenue is normally to be recognized as before, meaning when the property is handed over to the customer. IFRS 15 is not deemed to have any material impact on prior years' revenue or in the first half of 2018.

The impact 2017 of the transition to IFRS 15 for the Infrastructure and Building business areas is shown in the tables on the next page.

IFRS 9 Financial instruments

IFRS 9 has introduced new rules governing areas including the recognition and measurement of financial instruments, impairment of financial instruments and hedge accounting.

NCC's analysis of the effects of IFRS 9 shows that the new rules do not impact the Group's financial position because IFRS 9 does not significantly impact measurement. Nor does IFRS 9 entail any significant effect on NCC's hedge accounting or --- based on IFRS 9's methodology and NCC's history -- on NCC's provisions for credit losses.

Parent Company

The Parent Company has prepared its interim report pursuant to the Swedish Annual Accounts Act (1995:1554) and the Swedish Financial Reporting Board's recommendation RFR 2 Accounting for Legal Entities.

The interim report for the Parent Company has been prepared in accordance with the same accounting policies and methods of calculation as the 2017 Annual Report (Note 1, pages 58–67), apart from IFRS 15 and the amendments of RFR 2 in terms of the application of the measurement of financial instruments using cost as the point of departure as of January 1, 2018. The application of these has had no impact on the financial statements.

Note 5. Fair value of financial instruments

In the table below, disclosures are made concerning how fair value has been determined for the financial instruments that are continuously measured at fair value in NCC's balance sheet. When determining fair value, assets have been divided into three levels. No transfers were made between the levels during the period.

In level 1, measurement complies with the prices quoted on an active market for the same instruments. Derivatives in level 2 comprise currency forward contracts, interestrate swaps, oil forward contracts, as well as electricity forward contracts used for hedging purposes. The measurement to fair value of currency forward contracts, oil forward contracts as well as electricity forward contracts is based on accepted models with observable input data such as interest rates, exchange rates and commodity prices. The measurement of interest-rate swaps is based on forward interest rates based on observable yield curves. In level 3, measurement is based on input data that is not observable in the market.
