CEO Tomas Carlsson comments
We are reporting good earnings for the first quarter of the year, given the seasonal variations that dominate the period and the harsh winter. Orders received are favorable, and demand in NCC's prioritized segments is strong. Customers are continuing to express a high level of interest in earlystage collaboration projects to create optimal conditions for the subsequent construction phase.
Overall, NCC's business areas active in contracting reported unchanged earnings compared with the first quarter of the preceding year. All three business areas posted an improved margin. Earnings for Building Sweden increased slightly, while Building Nordics remained unchanged, and Infrastructure reported a somewhat lower outcome.
Orders received were generally strong. Infrastructure reported increased orders received, underpinned by several new contracts in water treatment, one of NCC's prioritized segments. Orders received increased for Building Nordics, driven by Denmark and Norway. Building Sweden noted slightly lower orders received during the quarter. An early-stage collaboration agreement was signed for a new hospital in Kiruna, Sweden, after the close of the period.
The Green Industry Transformation business area is performing well. The early-stage collaboration agreements signed in 2025 are now gradually transitioning to the construction phase. We recently announced contracts regarding preliminary works for the construction of a new sorting plant for LKAB.
The Industry business area is significantly impacted by seasonal variations, and the cold winter this year has amplified these effects, particularly in the stone materials operations. Demand is generally strong and orders received were clearly higher than in the year-earlier period. The asphalt operations are benefiting from a high level of state investments, while the stone materials operations are expected to be positively impacted by a general increase in construction activity.
Activity in the commercial properties market remains low. The Property Development business area had no projects to recognize in profit during the quarter and no new projects were launched. Earnings were in line with the preceding year.

The first quarter saw the start of the war in the Middle East – a conflict that is affecting people and communities. Developments have led to rising and volatile energy prices, which in turn has impacted the cost of transportation and materials, and the effects may spill over into the general economy. NCC is taking a proactive approach and has a number of measures in place to limit potential effects. The impact on earnings in the first quarter, however, is deemed to have been very limited.
Climate and energy are central elements of our sustainability agenda. During the year, we updated our climate targets and published a Climate Transition Plan aligned with the Paris Agreement.
Overall, I take a positive view of the performance and earnings of the business in the first quarter. The outcome reflects the season and a winter that was slightly colder than usual. We are generally seeing good demand, winning important orders in our prioritized segments and noting a high level of activity in early-stage collaboration projects. All in all, this provides us with a solid foundation and good conditions for the remainder of the year.
Tomas Carlsson, President and CEO Solna, April 29, 2026
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 the locations where NCC operates.
Net sales and earnings
Net sales amounted to SEK 9,650 M (11,077) in the first quarter. Firstquarter net sales were lower in all business areas except Property Development, which was on a par with last year. Exchange rate effects had an impact of SEK -197 M (-49) on net sales.
The operating loss in the first quarter amounted to SEK -237 M (-170). The lower operating result in the quarter was largely attributable to the Industry business area. The operating margin in the quarter amounted to -2.5 percent (-1.5). NCC had an operating margin before items affecting comparability of 3.4 percent on a rolling 12-month basis. The operating margin after items affecting comparability amounted to 1.3 percent on a rolling 12-month basis.
Net financial items amounted to SEK -14 M (-5) in the quarter. Higher average corporate net debt had a negative impact on net financial items.

- Excluding items affecting comparability
Effective tax
The effective tax rate for the Group amounted to 26 percent (22). The higher tax rate was mainly due to restrictions regarding interest deductions. No tax-free profit recognition for properties took place in the quarter or in the comparative period.
Cash flow
Cash flow before financing for the quarter amounted to SEK -549 M (-430). The change was mainly the result of a lower operating result.
Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the period amounted to SEK 576 M (2,012).
Debt and total assets
At March 31, the Group's net debt amounted to SEK -2,535 M (-2,245). The change in the quarter was primarily the result of the change in corporate net debt and a lower pension receivable.
Corporate net debt, meaning net debt excluding pension liabilities and lease liabilities, amounted to SEK -1,088 M (-377). The lower net debt in the year-earlier quarter was impacted by property sales in the fourth quarter of 2024. Cash flow from operations tracks the expected seasonal variations.
At March 31, the Group's total assets amounted to SEK 29,148 M (30,566). The decrease was mainly attributable to cash and cash equivalents. 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 March 31.
The average maturity of interest-bearing liabilities, excluding pension liability and lease liability, was 16 months (23) at the end of the quarter. At March 31, 2026, NCC's unutilized committed lines of credit totaled SEK 3,279 M (3,299), with an average remaining maturity of 20 months (20).
Capital employed
At March 31, capital employed amounted to SEK 11,666 M (13,191). The lower capital employed was mainly due to a decline in completed property projects compared to the preceding year due to impairments in the fourth quarter of 2025. The return on capital employed was 15 percent (15). The return on equity was 16 percent (20).
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 before items affecting comparability amounted to SEK 13.38 after the first quarter. The target for corporate net debt is that it is to be less than 2.5 times EBITDA. After the first quarter, corporate net debt amounted to 0.81 times EBITDA on a rolling 12-month basis.
NCC's dividend policy states that approximately 60 percent of after-tax profit for the year is to be distributed to shareholders. The Board of Directors' proposal is a regular dividend of SEK 9.00 (9.00) per share and an extra dividend of SEK 2.00 (2.00) per share to be paid on two occasions. The proposed record date for the first payment of SEK 6.50 per share, which includes an extra dividend of SEK 2.00 per share, is May 7, 2026 with payment occurring on May 12, 2026. For the second payment of SEK 4.50 per share, November 5, 2026 is the proposed record date with payment occurring on November 10, 2026. A calculation based on the Group's profit after tax, excluding items affecting comparability of approximately SEK 1.4 billion, and an ordinary dividend of SEK 9.00 per share yields an outcome of 65 percent.

- Excluding items affecting comparability


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 are prioritized areas at NCC and a central component of the Group's sustainability framework. All levels of the Group are committed to reducing the total number of accidents and completely avoiding accidents and incidents that could lead to serious injuries or fatalities.
The accident frequency rate was 3.6 on a rolling 12-month basis, which is marginally higher than in the preceding quarter. Building Nordics has steadily reduced its accident frequency rate and is below the 2026 target, while the figures for the other business areas were unchanged or had risen slightly.
Climate and energy targets
Climate and energy are prioritized areas in NCC's Group-wide sustainability framework. In 2025, NCC updated its Group-wide targets for climate and energy to align with the requirements of the EU Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD). In 2026, NCC published a Climate Transition Plan in line with the Paris Agreement's goal of limiting global warming to 1.5°C. The new targets use 2024 as the base year (previously 2015).
NCC's long-term target is to achieve net-zero emissions by 2045. As part of achieving this target, NCC has established an interim target stating that emissions from own operations (Scope 1 and 2), as well as in the value chain (Scope 3), are to be reduced by 42 percent by 2030.
To ensure that emission reductions already achieved are taken into account in the 2030 targets, NCC has chosen to use 2024 as the base year, with the addition of reference values from 2020. These reference values are based on specific supplier data for fuel, energy, ready-mix concrete and reinforcement steel. This approach provides a more complete overview of our historical emissions and performance over time.
The outcome for 2025 based on NCC's updated targets is presented below.
Since 2024* , Scope 1 and 2 emissions have been reduced by 39 percent, corresponding to 73,000 tons CO₂e. NCC's gradual phase-out of fossil fuels in its industrial operations accounts for the majority of the reduction. Since 2024* , Scope 3 emissions have been reduced by 10 percent, corresponding to 114,000 tons CO₂e. The focus on carbonintensive materials, such as concrete and steel, has yielded results.
Refer to NCC's Annual and Sustainability Report for 2025 for further information.
*Base year 2024, with the addition of reference values for 2020.

Accident frequency: Worksite accidents resulting in more than four days of absence per one million hours worked, for own workforce.

Order status
Orders received and order backlog
Orders received in the first quarter amounted to SEK 14,751 M (14,002), up 5.4 percent year-on-year. During the quarter, Infrastructure, Building Nordics and Industry reported an increase in orders received. The higher orders received in Infrastructure were the result of three water supply projects being registered among orders. The lower orders received in Building Sweden were mainly due to a strong comparative period. Changes in exchange rates impacted orders received by SEK -222 M (-51).
The Group's order backlog amounted to SEK 51,507 million (52,431) at the end of the period. The order backlog decreased in Infrastructure and Building Nordics and was essentially unchanged in Building Sweden. The order backlog increased significantly in Industry. Changes in exchange rates impacted the order backlog by SEK 422 M (-1,046). Approximately SEK 1 billion of the decrease relates to the termination of the Korsvägen contract by the Swedish Transport Administration.

NCC Industry
Orders received
Orders received amounted to SEK 4,627 M (3,964) in the first quarter. The year-on-year increase was due to the asphalt and paving operations.
Net sales and earnings
The business area is characterized by seasonally low levels of activity during the first quarter. Net sales decreased year-on-year and amounted to SEK 829 M (1,037), mainly on account of particularly challenging winter conditions early in the year for Stone materials but also for Asphalt and paving in Denmark.
The operating loss in the first quarter amounted to SEK -365 M (-312). The result is negative due to seasonal effects resulting from low activity during the period.
Operating capital employed
Operating capital employed increased mainly as a result of higher fixed assets and lower interest-free liabilities. The increase in assets was primarily attributable to investments, while the decrease in liabilities was mainly due to lower accounts payable. The return on capital employed rolling 12 months amounted to 20.5 percent, compared with 21.9 percent in the previous 12-month period.

Other disclosures
Significant risks and uncertainties
A description of the risks to which NCC may be exposed is provided in the 2025 Annual and Sustainability Report (pages 30–34). This assessment still applies.
Conflict in the Middle East
The first quarter saw the start of the war in the Middle East – a conflict that is affecting people and communities. Developments have led to rising and volatile energy prices, which in turn has impacted the cost of transportation and materials, and the effects may spill over into the general economy. NCC is monitoring the situation closely in order to manage and mitigate any negative effects on the company.
Related party transactions
Related parties are NCC's subsidiaries, associated companies and joint arrangements. Related-company sales during the first quarter amounted to SEK 13 M (14) and purchases to SEK 10 M (4).
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 March 31, 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.
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. In September 2025, the customer, the Swedish Transport Administration, opted to terminate the contract. NCC and the WLC consortium believe the termination has no legal basis and is claiming significant compensation for the damage incurred as a result of the Swedish Transport Administration's decision. WLC has filed a claim for approximately SEK 2.3 billion against the Swedish Transport Administration. Further claims will be made. As of March 31, 2026, the Swedish Transport Administration has claimed for damages of approximately SEK 2.7 billion against WLC. NCC and WLC contest the claim.
Significant events after the end of the period
New General Counsel
NCC has appointed Mattias Andersson as its new General Counsel. He will take office in October 2026 at the latest and will become a member of NCC's Senior Management Team. Mattias Andersson succeeds Ann-Marie Hedbeck, who will take office as Head of Business Development for the Green Industry Transformation business area. Mattias is currently General Counsel for the steel company Stegra. His previous positions include General Counsel at Kinnevik, Legal Director at SKF and Legal Associate at Setterwalls Advokatbyrå och Mannheimer Swartling Advokatbyrå.
Changes in Senior Management Team
In 2025, a strategic review of the Industry business area was conducted to assess whether the operations could develop more effectively under a different ownership structure. The conclusion was that the Industry business area will remain within NCC, but be organized as a separate company under the leadership of Grete Aspelund. As a result of this separation, Grete Aspelund will leave NCC's Senior Management Team. Grete Aspelund will assume the role as CEO of NCC Industry and report to an internal Board, chaired by NCC's President and CEO, Tomas Carlsson.
NCC files legal action against Trygg-Hansa
NCC is the main contractor for Liseberg in the Oceana project. The project was affected by a devastating fire in 2024. Following the fire, an insurance dispute is ongoing between Liseberg and the insurance company Trygg-Hansa, to which NCC is not a party.
The legal action now filed by NCC against Trygg-Hansa is solely a declaratory judgment action, submitted to prevent the statute of limitations from expiring and to safeguard NCC's rights going forward. At the same time, NCC is fully engaged in rebuilding Oceana.

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.
