In the second quarter, NCC continued to work systematically with our change process. We are making good progress with many ongoing projects and initiatives, even though it will take time before we see concrete results in all parts of the operations.
The favorable and stable market has continued for all our business areas. Despite the slowdown in the housing market, NCC's orders received for housing projects has remained high. In Sweden, rental units accounted for most orders received for housing.
Overall, orders received increased year-on-year, mainly driven by very strong orders received in Building Nordics and Infrastructure. The total order backlog is NCC's highest to date.
Efforts to turn earnings around in the Infrastructure business area are continuing. This is a long-term process. Orders received increased year-on-year and the result was strengthened, partly due to the positive impact of settled disputes, primarily in Norway. The prudent profit recognition in projects continues to impact the operating result.
In the Building Sweden business area, orders received in the second quarter were lower year-on-year. The difference was mainly because no large projects orders were booked in the quarter, but we see continued favorable opportunities and many projects in advanced stages of the sales pipeline.
The Building Nordics business area posted a strong quarter with highly robust orders received of SEK 6.2 billion. These included three major housing projects in Denmark with a total order value of just over SEK 3.4 billion: Kronløbsøen, Nicolinehus and a housing project in Tuborg Havn in Hellerup. NCC has been working on these projects for some time and can now register these among orders in the same quarter.

The stable performance of the Industry business area continued. Volumes were slightly lower year-on-year, partly due to the discontinuation of unprofitable production and the demand from a few individual projects.
In business area Property Development one new property development project commenced during the quarter comprising a large e-commerce warehouse for ICA Sweden. One project was recognized in profit. On September 1, we will welcome Joachim Holmberg as new head of the business area.
At this time last year, I had initiated a review of the company, which subsequently led to a robust action program in the autumn and a different view of risk.
In a market with many opportunities, our focus now is on choosing the right projects with the right level of risk in a disciplined manner. We have improved our internal processes and are putting profitability before growth across the entire business. Our journey of change has only just begun, and we are mobilizing to build a strong foundation for long-term stable and profitable future growth.
Tomas Carlsson, President and CEO Solna, July 19, 2019

.

Second quarter and first half of 2019
Market conditions were generally favorable also in the second quarter. The economies of the Nordic countries were stable.
Demand for schools, hospitals and homes for the elderly was strong, driven by growing cities and the demographic trend. Despite a slowdown from high levels, the market for housing, and demand for renovation and refurbishment, remained favorable.
Public-sector infrastructure initiatives are fueling the Nordic infrastructure market, resulting in a continued strong market in Norway and Sweden.
In the industrial segment, a strong civil engineering market is driving demand for asphalt and stone materials in Norway and Sweden.
Low yield requirements from investors and high demand for new premises that are modern and sustainable, primarily in major city areas, are providing favorable market conditions in the Nordic property market.
Orders received amounted to SEK 16,070 M (13,834) in the second quarter, and to SEK 31,572 M (31,355) during the first half-year. The higher orders received during the quarter were mainly attributable to three large housing projects in Denmark, totaling just over SEK 3.4 billion: Kronløbsøen, Nicolinehus and housing units in Tuborg Havn. Changes in exchange rates had a positive impact of SEK 421 M (408) on orders received.
The Group's order backlog was SEK 63,027 M (58,741) at the end of the quarter, an increase that is mainly due to higher orders received in Building Nordics. Changes in
exchange rates impacted the order backlog by SEK 869 M (1,301).
Net sales amounted to SEK 14,610 M (14,349) in the second quarter, and to SEK 26,044 M (25,244) during the first halfyear. The increase in net sales during the quarter was attributable to Building Nordics, Property Development and Industry. Changes in exchange rates had a positive impact of SEK 241 M (330) on sales.
NCC's operating profit amounted to SEK 411 M (452) for the second quarter and to SEK 59 M (88) for the first half-year. Operating profit was impacted by costs for turnaround activities and the ongoing divestment of operations in Road Services.
Net financial items for the January-June period amounted to SEK -50 M (-34). Net financial items declined SEK 20 M due to additional lease liabilities in accordance with IFRS 16 Leases.
Cash flow before financing was SEK -1,249 M (-2,525). The improvement was attributable to higher cash flow from operating activities, which amounted to SEK -834 M (-2,014). Business area Industry has a seasonably low cash flow in the second quarter. At the end of the period, total cash and cash equivalents amounted to SEK 726 M (752).
At June 30, the Group's net debt amounted to SEK -6,352 M (-3,084). The increase was mainly due to the new accounting policy, IFRS 16 Leases, and higher pension debt in the second half of 2018. The Group has a strong financial position and, in absolute terms, a low level of indebtedness.

At June 30, the Group's total assets amounted to SEK 30,579 M (30,312). Total assets for the period include the new accounting policy IFRS 16 Leases. IAS 17 Leases has been applied for the comparative period; refer also to the "Condensed consolidated balance sheet."
At the end of the quarter, the average maturity period for the interest-bearing liabilities, excluding pension debt according to IAS 19 and lease liabilities according to IFRS 16 Leases, was 21 months (25). At June 30, 2019, NCC's unutilized committed lines of credit totaled SEK 3.7 billion (3.6), with an average remaining maturity of 27 (38) months.
At June 30, capital employed amounted to SEK 10,091 M (9,268). The increase was attributable to the adoption of IFRS 16 Leases, lower accounts receivable and lower interest-free liabilities. Return on capital employed was -9 percent (5) during the first half-year.
NCC has established the following financial targets at Group level: return on equity ≥20%, operating margin ≥4%, net debt <2.5 times EBITDA. NCC's dividend policy is to distribute at least 40 percent of after-tax profit for the year.
Operating margin




Net debt excludes pension debt and lease liability in accordance with IFRS 16 Leases. EBITDA refers to operating profit according to the income statement, with reversal of depreciation and impairment according to Notes 2 and 3.
NCC has not yet achieved its financial targets and lies above the limit for net debt/EBITDA, which was strongly impacted by the negative result delivered by the Group last year. The Group still has a strong financial position and, in absolute terms, a low level of indebtedness.
Safety is a high priority and NCC has a zero vision with respect to worksite accidents. The accident frequency rate* for the second quarter was lower than in the preceding quarter and the year-on-year quarter, and for full-year 2018. An improved and systematic way of working, where best practice and successfully tested methods have been utilized across the Group, has led to a lower rate of accidents. Units with historically high accident rates have received support to reduce the number of accidents. In conducting its safety work, NCC has prioritized measures to reduce serious accidents.


*Accident frequency: Worksite accidents resulting in several days of absence from work per million worked hours.
In the second quarter, orders received increased in all divisions. In total for the business area, orders received rose to SEK 3,428 M (2,738) in the second quarter. For the first half-year, orders received amounted to SEK 8,267 M (11,022), where the year-on-year difference was attributable to registration of the Centralen project (SEK 4.7 billion) in Gothenburg among orders in the first quarter of 2018.
The order backlog increased to SEK 21,770 M (20,161) at the end of the quarter.
Net sales amounted to SEK 4,192 M (4,325) in the second quarter, and to SEK 7,841 M (7,913) for the first half-year. The slightly lower sales were partly due to completion of the Next Generation project, a board facility on behalf of Billerud Korsnäs, during the spring.
Operating profit was SEK 81 M (26) in the second quarter, and SEK 89 M (69) for the first half-year. The improvement includes a positive impact of SEK 45 M on earnings generated by the settlement of disputes primarily in Norway. Adjusted for this the operating profit was SEK 36 M. Compared with the second quarter of 2018, operating profit was impacted by a higher level of zero recognition, meaning no recognition of earnings in early-stage projects where the risks in these projects are difficult to assess. Due to impairment losses on projects toward the end of 2018, the work-up rate in these projects generated a lower margin.
Operating margin was 1.9 (0.6) percent but adjusted for reversed reservations the operating margin was 0.9 percent.

Housing units accounted for more than one-third of orders received during the quarter and, together with Renovation/Refurbishment, represented the largest proportion of orders received. Overall, orders received declined to SEK 2,368 M (3,111) in the second quarter, and to SEK 4,947 M (6,788) in the first half-year.
The order backlog declined and amounted to SEK 16,261 M (18,422) at the end of the quarter, due to lower orders received.
Net sales amounted to SEK 3,726 M (4,057) in the second quarter, and to SEK 7,394 M (7,706) for the first half-year, which was slightly lower year-on-year. The work-up rate in Housing and Renovation/Refurbishment was in line with the preceding year for just over half of net sales.
Operating profit amounted to SEK 76 M (147) in the second quarter and to SEK 185 M (258) for the first half-year. Compared with the year-on-year quarter, the result was impacted by a more cautious approach to risk.
Operating profit was negatively impacted by a provision of SEK 37 M for penalty and court costs relating to a ruling by a District Court regarding the Rågården project in Building Sweden. Adjusted for this amount, operating profit would have been SEK 113 M and the operating margin would have been 3.0 percent. The Infrastructure business area also set aside a minor provision for the Rågården project.

Orders received for Building Nordics increased to SEK 6,210 M (3,349) in the second quarter, and to SEK 10,396 M (5,264) for the first half-year. The increase was mainly due to higher orders received in the Danish operations, through three major registered project orders – Kronløbsøen for SEK 1.5 billion, Nicolinehus for SEK 1.4 billion and a housing project in Tuborg Havn for SEK 0.5 billion. In the second quarter, orders received increased for housing projects and now represent the largest segment for the first half-year.
At the end of the period, the order backlog amounted to SEK 16,738 M (11,501).
Net sales increased to SEK 2,803 M (2,571) in the second quarter, and to SEK 5,370 M (4,870) for the first half-year. The increase was mainly attributable to Finland, which is the largest market in terms of sales.
Building Nordics' net sales during the first half-year largely comprised housing production and renovation, mainly in Denmark and Finland.
Operating profit was SEK 46 M (34) for the second quarter, and SEK 80 M (45) for the first half-year.
The result for the quarter was higher than in the preceding year, mainly due to increased sales and better project margins. All countries delivered a positive operating result for the quarter, but the year-on-year improvement was attributable to Norway and Finland.

Net sales increased slightly year-on-year to SEK 3,721 M (3,625) in the second quarter, and to SEK 4,985 M (4,791) for the first half-year. The increase in the second quarter was attributable to higher activity in the Swedish and Norwegian asphalt operations.
Operating profit was SEK 322 M (324) in the second quarter, while the result for the first half-year was SEK -63 M (-87). Operating profit for the quarter improved in Hercules Norway due to the restructuring completed last year.
Operating profit declined due to lower volumes in the stone materials operations, but this was partly offset by an improved product mix during the quarter. Compared with the preceding year, volumes were affected by the discontinuation of unprofitable production as well as some individual projects.
An improved margin in the asphalt operations largely offset some of the lower volumes in the asphalt operations during the quarter. During the first half-year, the operating result improved in Hercules but weakened in the stone materials operations.
Capital employed increased seasonally to SEK 6.4 billion, an increase of SEK 1.5 billion, both as a result of the transition to IFRS 16 Leases and increased working capital.

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 2018 Annual Report (Note 1, pages 30-36), with the exception of IFRS 16 Leases, which has been applied as of January 1, 2019. The impact of the implementation of IFRS 16 Leases on the financial statements is described below under the heading IFRS 16 Leases.
The assets and liabilities attributable to the transfer of Road Services, which will take place in the third quarter of 2019, will be reported as separate line items as either an asset or a liability.
IFRS 16 Leases is applied as of January 1, 2019. IFRS 16 Leases replaces the previous standard IAS 17 Leases. NCC has elected to implement the standard according to the modified retrospective approach, which entails that identified leases have not been restated retrospectively, meaning that they have had no impact on comparative figures for periods prior to 2019.
The application of IFRS 16 Leases entails that NCC recognizes right-of-use assets with the associated lease liability for vehicles, heavy production machinery, leased premises and site leaseholds/land leases. The balance sheet has been expanded to include lines for right-of-use assets recognized under tangible fixed assets and current assets. The associated lease liability is included in current and noncurrent interest-bearing liabilities. Right-of-use assets, except for land leases/site leaseholds, are depreciated over the term of the lease. The costs for these leases have been recognized in profit or loss as depreciation and interest expense, respectively. The lease payment is divided into an interest component and a depreciation component. The operating result has been impacted positively and net financial items have been impacted negatively. In conjunction with the implementation of IFRS 16 Leases, cash flow from operating activities has increased and cash flow from financing activities has decreased.
When discounting future lease payments for most of the vehicles and heavy machinery leased by the Group, NCC has used the interest rate implicit in each lease as the discount rate. For other types of lease payments recognized in accordance with IFRS 16 Leases, which mainly include leased premises and site leaseholds, the incremental borrowing rate of the individual lessee is used as the
discount rate. The incremental borrowing rate of the individual lessee is based on the lessee's financial strength, the country and the term of the lease in question.
The table below shows the impact, on both the asset and liability side, of the transition from the recognition of finance leases according to IAS 17 Leases to the recognition of right-of-use assets according to IFRS 16 Leases.

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 to 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.
