CEO Tomas Carlsson comments

NCC is reporting strong operating profit for the third quarter, up 15 percent compared with the year-earlier period. The earnings improvement is mainly driven by the Industry business area, which reported record earnings. Our construction and civil engineering operations have continued to perform strongly, and we can see a sharp increase in early involvement projects.

NCC's business areas in construction and civil engineering continue to report healthy earnings development. Earnings and margin increased in Building Sweden, while Infrastructure and Building Nordics reported a stable development. Orders received decreased in Building Sweden and Infrastructure, but increased slightly in Building Nordics. The order backlog was slightly lower than in the preceding year, due to a selective approach to projects.

At the same time, we won several large and long-term early involvement projects during the third quarter that will gradually strengthen our order backlog. NCC has, for example, been awarded a contract to expand the electricity grid in Västra Götaland – an assignment that Svenska kraftnät estimates is worth about SEK 7.5 billion. In September, we signed a contract to construct one of Sweden's largest prisons, covering 110,000 square meters. At the beginning of the quarter, we also announced a contract to commence planning Sweden's largest steel mill, an investment of SEK 50 billion where NCC will play a leading role in the construction. The steel mill is one of two megaprojects that NCC is carrying out in the Green Industry Transformation business area, which clearly demonstrates the strength of our focused efforts to enable large-scale industrial projects in the Nordic region.

The market outlook for construction and civil engineering remains favorable, particularly in our prioritized segments such as energy, water treatment, hospitals and security classified buildings.

The Industry business area achieved record earnings, driven by strong volume growth in asphalt and productivity improvements in stone materials. The market remains favorable, not least thanks to state road investments. The strategic review of the business area is ongoing, and we aim to take a decision before the end of the year.

The market for commercial properties remains cautious. In Property Development, we divested property development projects in Norway. The transactions had a somewhat negative earnings impact in the third quarter, but are expected to have a corresponding positive impact in the fourth quarter.

During the quarter, the Swedish Transport Administration chose to terminate the contract for the Korsvägen project in Gothenburg, where NCC is part of the West Link Contractors consortium. We believe the termination has no valid basis and intend to claim significant damages. The Swedish Transport Administration has had full insight into the project since it began in 2018 and is responsible for the factors that brought about the project's changed conditions.

The engagement and competence of our employees is decisive for NCC's development. This quarter, I would like to extend a special thank you to everyone who worked so commendably on the West Link projects in Gothenburg.

NCC has extensive experience of large and complex construction projects, when close collaboration is crucial to success. By working with customers at an early stage, we can create solutions that provide greater predictability and reduce both costs and production time. We can see growing demand for this approach from both private and public sector customers – most partnership projects this year are of this nature. The aim is to increase customer value and financial predictability in projects.

The third quarter was characterized by strong earnings improvement, a high level of activity and good demand. The potential for growth in our prioritized segments remains favorable in the years ahead.

Tomas Carlsson, President and CEO Solna, October 23, 2025

Group performance

Market

In general, NCC is impacted by the general economic situation and the GDP trend. Costs for input materials, the interest rate situation and expectations for future economic development have a significant impact.

The long-term market conditions for construction and civil engineering, property development, and asphalt and stone in the Nordic region are positive. The countries where NCC operates in infrastructure have ambitious plans and investment initiatives in new construction, as well as refurbishment and maintenance of national and regional infrastructure. Urbanization and the emergence of new growth regions are driving investments in infrastructure in city outskirts, such as roads, public transport, water and wastewater systems, and energy solutions. Moreover, NCC is well positioned to support major industrial initiatives linked to the green transition.

Underlying demand for public buildings throughout the Nordic region, security classified buildings, hospitals and nursing homes, is good. Similarly, the market for renovation and refurbishment also remains strong. The long-term need for residential units is substantial, but the market remains negatively impacted by the prevailing economic conditions. Similarly, demand for commercial properties also remains cautious.

Demand for asphalt and stone materials is driven by investments in infrastructure and maintenance, as well as general construction and the priorities of public customers. Activity levels in these markets remain high, and state investments in road maintenance are increasing in locations where NCC operates.

Net sales and earnings

Net sales totaled SEK 14,168 M (14,277) in the third quarter, and SEK 39,788 M (41,287) in the January-September period. The lower net sales in the period are mainly attributable to Building Sweden and Property Development. In the January-September period, changes in exchange rates had an impact of SEK -561 M (-235) on net sales.

Operating profit amounted to SEK 767 M (665) in the third quarter and to SEK 1,246 M (1,188) for the January-September period. The higher operating profit in the third quarter was largely attributable to the Industry business area. During the January to September period, operating profit increased in all business areas except Property Development, which did not have any projects that were recognized in profit. The operating margin for the quarter was higher compared with the year-earlier quarter and higher compared with the year-earlier January-September period. On a rolling twelve-month basis, NCC had an operating margin of 3.5 percent (2.7).

Net financial items totaled SEK -100 M (-104) for the January-September period and SEK -49 M (-53) for the quarter. The improvement is explained by lower average net corporate debt. Lower capitalization of interest rates at Property Development has a negative impact.

Effective tax

The effective tax rate for the Group amounted to 24.5 percent (21.5). During the period, no tax-free profit recognition took place for properties. The comparative period included a minor tax-free profit recognition for one property project.

Cash flow

Cash flow before financing for the quarter amounted to SEK 190 M (-309). The improvement was essentially attributable to lower working capital due to higher accounts payable, but also to higher operating profit. The cash flow before financing for the January to September period was SEK -455 M (-650). Working capital was also lower in the period due to better working capital management.

Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the period amounted to SEK 279 M (324).

Debt and total assets

At September 30, the Group's net debt amounted to SEK -2,613 M (-5,948). The change is due largely to three property projects being recognized in profit in December 2024.

Corporate net debt, meaning net debt excluding pension liabilities and lease liabilities, amounted to SEK -1,363 M (-3,891). The lower net debt is essentially due to the sale of property projects, which was partly offset by higher dividends in the period in question.

At September 30, the Group's total assets amounted to SEK 32,156 M (33,087). The bulk of the decrease relates to property development projects. In terms of debt, interest-bearing liabilities decreased due to lower financing requirements. Pension liability also decreased and instead a pension receivable was recognized at September 30.

The average maturity of interest-bearing liabilities, excluding pension liability and lease liability, was 22 months (20) at the end of the quarter. At September 30, 2025, NCC's unutilized committed lines of credit totaled SEK 3,361 M (5,414), with an average remaining maturity of 14 months (19).

Capital employed

At September 30, capital employed amounted to SEK 12,526 M (14,417). The lower level of capital employed was due primarily to a decrease in property development projects. The return on capital employed was 16 percent (12). The return on equity was 20 percent (17).

Financial targets and dividend policy

NCC has two financial targets: earnings per share, and net debt in relation to EBITDA. The target is for earnings per share in the short to medium term to be a minimum of SEK 16. On a rolling 12-month basis, earnings per share amounted to SEK 16.22 after the third quarter. The target for corporate net debt is that it is to be less than 2.5 times EBITDA. After the third quarter of 2025, corporate net debt amounted to 0.50 times EBITDA on a rolling twelve-month basis.

NCC's dividend policy states that approximately 60 percent of after-tax profit for the year is to be distributed to shareholders. For 2024, NCC's Annual General Meeting resolved on an ordinary dividend of SEK 9.00 per share, and an extra dividend of SEK 2.00 per share, which together corresponds to approximately 68 percent of after-tax profit for the year. The dividend is to be paid on two occasions, with the extra dividend to be paid on the first occasion. The record date for the first payment of SEK 6.50 per share was May 9, 2025 with payment occurring on May 14, 2025. For the second payment of SEK 4.50 per share, the record date is November 7, 2025, with payment occurring on November 12, 2025.

This refers to corporate net cash/net debt, that is, net cash/net debt excluding pension liability and lease liability. EBITDA refers to operating profit according to the income statement, with reversal of depreciation and impairment losses according to Note 2 and 3, excluding depreciation/amortization of right-of-use assets.

Health and safety targets

Health and safety is a prioritized area in NCC and a central component of the Group's sustainability framework. At all levels of the Group, we are working steadily to reduce the number of accidents and completely avoid incidents that could lead to serious injuries or fatalities.

The Group-wide target for the accident frequency rate concerning accidents that lead to more than four days of absence per million worked hours (LTIF4) over a 12-month period for the Group's own workforce is 2.0 by 2026, with annual interim targets. The outcome for the last 12 month period is 2.9. This is level with the preceding quarter and reflects a steady improvement compared with the preceding year. Infrastructure had the lowest accident frequency rate during the quarter.

In September, NCC's Awareness Day was held for the fifteenth consecutive year. The activity was focused and risk behaviors, representing an important part of strengthening a safety oriented corporate culture.

Climate and energy targets

Climate and energy are prioritized areas in NCC and in the Group's sustainability framework. NCC is working to reduce its carbon footprint from its own operations and throughout the value chain. NCC reports its emissions data on a half-year basis, and the results are communicated in the interim reports for the first and third quarters.

NCC has set a target of reducing emissions from its own operations, Scope 1 and 2, by 75 percent by 2030 compared with 2015, equivalent to ≤ 1.3 CO₂e (ton)/SEK M. At mid-year 2025, emissions intensity was 2.1, which is somewhat higher than for full-year 2024. The change in intensity is partly due to unusually high sales in 2024 and continuous improvements in data collection.

NCC also has a target of a 50-percent reduction in emissions across the company's value chain (Scope 3) by 2030. Our focus is on areas where climate impact is estimated to be greatest: concrete, asphalt, steel as well as transportation and machinery services.

Data collection is continuing to map carbon emissions and increase the coverage rate of Scope 3 in order to better reflect the climate footprint of the entire value chain. This is an important part of ongoing efforts to prepare a Group-wide climate transition plan. This work also includes a review of targets and reporting criteria to meet the requirements for correct sustainability reporting under the EU's CSRD. Internally purchased asphalt is not reported in Scope 3 as of the third quarter of 2025. This production is reported under Scopes 1 and 2.

Order status

Orders received and order backlog

Orders received in the third quarter amounted to SEK 11,135 M (13,264), a decrease of 16 percent from a strong comparative quarter. During the quarter, Building Nordics and Industry reported an increase in orders received.

Orders received amounted to SEK 38,530 M (41,281) for the January-September period. Orders received increased in Building Sweden, but decreased in Building Nordics and Infrastructure. The higher orders received in Building Sweden was attributable to several major projects being registered for the period. The lower orders received in Building Nordics and Infrastructure were mainly due to individual major orders registered during the year-earlier period. Changes in exchange rates impacted orders received by SEK -457 M (-240). The Group's order backlog amounted to SEK 48,318 M (53,498) at the end of the period. Order backlog in Building Nordics and Infrastructure decreased and remained essentially unchanged in Building Sweden. Changes in exchange rates impacted the order backlog by SEK -764 M (233).

NCC has gradually increased the number of early involvement projects, which aim to create better conditions for the construction phase. Normally, these projects lead to NCC also signing contracts to carry out the construction, whereupon the projects are included in the order backlog. During the third quarter, NCC signed several early involvement contracts linked to very large construction projects, including 450 km of power lines in Västra Götaland, a new steel mill in Luleå, one of Sweden's largest prisons and five new grid substations for the electricity supply in Stockholm.

Orders received and order backlog

Orders received amounted to SEK 2,306 M (2,075) in the third quarter and to SEK 6,235 M (7,716) for the January-September period. The changes in orders received are primarily related to the Danish operations. Denmark had higher orders received during the quarter, but lower orders received during the period January to September.

Public Buildings accounted for almost half of the total orders received and increased compared to the preceding year, mainly as Cleantech Garden, a public building in Finland, was recognized in the period. The share of Offices increased compared with the preceding year, mainly as Finland registered a major order in Espoo, Metallum. The Refurbishment/Conversion segment was lower compared with the preceding year and Residential remained a weak segment.

The order backlog was lower than in the preceding year and amounted to SEK 12,706 M (16,637) at the end of the quarter.

Net sales and earnings

Net sales totaled SEK 3,126 M (3,210) for the third quarter, and SEK 9,667 M (10,023) for the January-September period. The slight decrease in net sales was mainly due to Finland, where the market situation remained challenging. Denmark increased net sales for both the quarter and the period. Public Buildings accounted for 41 percent of net sales followed by the Refurbishment/Conversion segment. Residential remained a weak segment.

Operating profit increased to SEK 105 M (104) for the quarter and to SEK 257 M (242) for the January-September period. The marginally higher operating profit was attributable mainly to increased net sales and improved profitability in Denmark.

Orders received and order backlog

Orders received amounted to SEK 3,048 M (4,579) in the third quarter and to SEK 10,316 M (9,842) for the January-September period. Public Buildings accounted for the highest share of orders received, but the Offices segment noted the greatest increase as the result of the Yrket 4 project that was registered in orders. Orders received in Refurbishment/Conversion grew by a few percent compared with the preceding year, while orders received for Residential remained at low levels as a result of the prevailing market conditions. Orders received were higher than sales, which indicates good capacity utilization moving forward.

The order backlog was somewhat lower than in the year-earlier period, but it is expected to remain at a high level relative to net sales for one year. At the end of the quarter, it amounted to SEK 16,179 M (16,574).

Net sales and earnings

Net sales were lower and amounted to SEK 2,564 M (2,959) for the third quarter and to SEK 9,107 M (10,020) for the January-September period. Public Buildings comprised one third of total net sales. The Other segment recorded the greatest increase, attributable primarily to several industrial projects.

Operating profit was slightly higher compared with the preceding year and amounted to SEK 59 M (45) in the third quarter and to SEK 181 M (172) in the January-September period.

Orders received

Orders received amounted to SEK 2,523 M (2,137) for the third quarter and to SEK 9,813 M (9,933) for the January-September period. The higher orders received in the third quarter are attributable to higher volumes in asphalt. The slightly lower orders received for the January-September period was mainly attributable to the stone materials operations.

Net sales and earnings

Net sales increased marginally year-on-year, totaling SEK 4,249 M (4,140) for the third quarter and SEK 9,052 M (9,065) for the January-September period.

Operating profit was higher in both the third quarter, SEK 461 M (338), and in the January-September period, SEK 520 M (393). During the quarter, asphalt operations increased due to higher volumes and better margin. Operating profit for stone materials operations improved as a result of more efficient production. Operating margins improved in the January-September period for both asphalt and stone materials.

Operating capital employed

Operating capital employed decreased mainly as a result of improved working capital. Return on capital employed for the last twelve months was 17.1 per cent, compared with 11.3 per cent for the previous twelvemonth period.

Net sales and earnings

Net sales totaled SEK 122 M (104) for the third quarter, and SEK 289 M (865) for the January-September period. Operating profit/loss amounted to SEK -10 M (37) in the quarter and to SEK 0 M (155) for the January-September period.

The lower operating profit for the third quarter is mainly explained by reduced rental revenues on account of divested properties, and negative impact of divested property development projects in Norway. The divested property projects are expected to yield a positive earnings impact in the fourth quarter and are neutral overall for the full year. The comparative January-September period included profit recognition of the Arendal Albatross logistics project in Sweden.

Property projects

No projects were started during the quarter. During the period one public building project – Cleantech Garden, in Finland – commenced and was sold. The project is expected to be recognized in profit during the second quarter of 2027. No projects were started in the comparative period.

Letting amounted to 18,387 square meters (16,479) in the January-September period, including 756 square meters (2,732) in the third quarter. During the January-September period, a total of 12 new leases (14) were signed in Sweden and Finland, of which 1 (3) was signed in the third quarter.

At the end of the third quarter, 9 projects (10) were either ongoing or completed but not yet recognized in profit. Costs incurred in all projects amounted to SEK 8.0 billion (9.7), corresponding to a total completion rate of 66 percent (83). The completion rate for ongoing projects was 25 percent (47). The total letting rate during the quarter was 81 percent (72). Operating net amounted to SEK 61 M (68) in the third quarter, and to SEK 167 M (193) in the January-September period.

Operating capital employed

Operating capital employed was lower and amounted to SEK 8,024 M (10,157) at the end of the quarter. The lower level of operating capital employed is attributable primarily to three projects being recognized in profit in the last quarter of 2024, as well as lower levels of investments in projects.

  • 1) The tables refers to ongoing or completed property projects that have not yet been recognized as revenue. In addition to these projects, NCC also focuses on rental (rental guarantees / additional purchase) in two previously sold and revenue recognized property projects, which corresponds to approximately SEK 1 M in potential positive earnings effect.
  • 2) Indicated leasable area for the project Yrket 4 refers to gross area.
  • 3) The project covers a total of approximately 40,000 square meters and lettable area of approximately 30,400 square meters. The project is carried out together with Jernhusen, a Swedish state-owned property company. In December 2021 an agreement was entered to jointly develop Park Central in joint venture through a jointly owned company. NCC has acquired 50 procent of the property-owning company from Jernhusen that will repurchase the part when the property is completed and certain critera is fulfilled. The data in the table refers to NCC's share of the project.
  • 4) The proportion of expected rental income represented by signed leases (also known as the economic occupancy rate).

Other operations

NCC Green Industry Transformation

The Green Industry Transformation business area carries out contracting operations focused on large projects driven by the green industrial transition and that require special expertise and resources. As a first step, the business area is focusing on construction related to mining and steel production in northern Sweden.

In the third quarter, NCC and SSAB signed a early involvement agreement for the planning and execution of building and civil engineering work for a new steel mill in Luleå. The part of the project to be constructed by NCC will house two electric arc furnaces, secondary metallurgy and the direct strip rolling mill. SSAB estimates that the new steel mill will enter operation at the end of 2029.

NCC already has two agreements with LKAB: a long-term early involvement agreement for construction projects for the development of sponge iron production and an early involvement agreement related to a new sorting plant. In the third quarter, preparatory groundworks were initiated.

Operating loss for Other and eliminations in the quarter amounted to SEK -2 M (-11) and in the period to SEK -83 M (-138).

Group costs were lower than in the comparative quarter and the comparative period, mainly due to the deferral of costs related to the company's IT and digitization investments.

Ongoing property development projects where work is still being conducted had a negative impact on the elimination of internal profits. One logistics project was recognized in profit in the comparative period.

The positive impact regarding pensions was due to factors including gradual decreases in costs for vested benefits, as well as a contribution of funds to the pension foundation, which has a positive effect.

Other adjustments include leasing in accordance with IFRS 16, among other things.

Other disclosures

Significant risks and uncertainties

A description of the risks to which NCC may be exposed is provided in the 2024 Annual and Sustainability Report (pages 64-68). This assessment still applies.

Related party transactions

Related parties are NCC's subsidiaries, associated companies and joint arrangements. Related-company sales during the third quarter amounted to SEK 15 M (10) and purchases to SEK 5 M (5). In the January-September period, sales amounted to SEK 48 M (23) and purchases to SEK 20 M (11).

Seasonal effects

Industry's operations and certain operations in Infrastructure, Building Nordics and Building Sweden are impacted by seasonal variations due to weather conditions. Earnings in the first quarter are normally weaker than the rest of the year.

Amounts and dates

Unless otherwise indicated, amounts are stated in SEK millions (SEK M). All comparative figures in this report pertain to the year-earlier period. Rounding-off differences may arise in all tables.

Repurchase of shares

At September 30, NCC AB had a total of 1,968,589 Series B shares in treasury to cover the commitments according to the long-term incentive programs.

Dividend

NCC's Annual General Meeting resolved in favor of a dividend of SEK 9.00 (8.00) per share, and an extra dividend of SEK 2.00 SEK per share, divided between two payment occasions. The record date for the first payment of SEK 6.50 per share was May 9, 2025 with disbursement on May 14, 2025. The record date for the second payment of SEK 4.50 is November 7, 2025, with disbursement occurring on November 12, 2025.

Strategic review of the Industry business area

In early 2025, NCC announced its intention to conduct a strategic review of the Industry business area. Various options will be evaluated, including a potential divestment of the business area. The process is proceeding as planned, and the review is scheduled to be concluded during the year.

NCC's Korsvägen project

NCC has, as part of the West Link Contractors (WLC) consortium, been carrying out the Korsvägen project since 2018. NCC has a 60-percent share in the consortium. The project is part of the West Link infrastructure project in Gothenburg. In September 2025, the customer, the Swedish Transport Administration, opted to terminate the contract for Korsvägen.

NCC and the WLC consortium believe the termination has no valid basis and intend to make significant claims for the damage incurred by the Swedish Transport Administration's decision. The delays and cost increases that have impacted the project are largely a consequence of circumstances that are the responsibility of the Swedish Transport Administration. The Swedish Transport Administration has had full insight into the project since it began and is responsible for the factors that led to changed conditions.

Immediately following termination, WLC completed all work and the project was discontinued. No costs resulting from the discontinuation were charged to NCC's earnings for the third quarter. The project has been using the zero recognition method. The order backlog for the Infrastructure business area will decrease by approximately SEK 1 billion in the fourth quarter of 2025. An in-depth analysis of the financial implications linked to the situation surrounding the Korsvägen project is ongoing and cannot therefore be determined at present.

Auditor's review report

Introduction

NCC AB (publ), Corp. Reg. No. 556034-5174

We have reviewed the condensed interim financial information (interim report) for NCC AB (publ) for September 30, 2025 and the nine-month period then ended. The Board of Directors and the President are responsible for the preparation and presentation of this interim report 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 Financial Statements 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 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 in accordance with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act regarding the Parent Company.

Note 6.Fair value of financial instruments

In the tables 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, interest rate swaps, oil forward contracts and electricity forward contracts used for hedging purposes. The measurement at fair value of currency forward contracts, oil forward contracts and 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.
