"Although demand in the Nordic construction market was weak during the first nine months of the year, the scale of the downturn eased during the third quarter. NCC's orders received declined 9 percent (13 percent in local currency) in the third quarter compared with the year-earlier period and amounted to SEK 11,644 M (12,794).
"Despite lower sales in the third quarter, operating profit, which totaled SEK 792 M (787), was in line with the year-earlier period. NCC Roads and the Construction units in Sweden and Norway reported increased operating margin.
"Cash flow improved compared with the year-earlier period, partly as a result of lower investments in land held for future development. Cash flow before financing for the third quarter amounted to SEK 1,552 M (1,333). Net indebtedness decreased to SEK 2,654 M (4,688) at the end of the quarter.
"Low interest rates and an expansive financial policy had a favorable impact on the housing market. NCC sold 668 (548) housing units and started construction on 246 (389) units during the third quarter. In addition, land with associated construction contracts corresponding to 862 (280) housing units was sold to investors. During the past year, NCC has reduced the risk in ongoing housing projects. Although the necessary conditions now exist to start new housing projects, we will not increase our risk exposure to any significant extent, since housing starts depend on strong presales.
"No major improvements in demand are expected in the Nordic construction market in 2010. Although the civil engineering market is expected to experience some growth, this will not offset the weak market for buildings and commercial properties. NCC has adjusted to the prevailing market conditions during the year and will continue to adapt its organization and costs to lower volumes in the future."
The Nordic construction market was weak during the first nine months of the year, with lower demand for housing units, offices and other buildings, primarily from private customers. Demand from the public sector was not impacted by the economic downturn to the same extent. Interest in constructing rental apartments increased. No growth is expected in terms of construction investments in housing units, offices and other buildings in 2010. However, the prospects in the civil engineering market appear brighter, partly due to private investments in the energy sector and government infrastructure investments.
Demand for aggregates and asphalt during the first nine months was lower than in the year-earlier period. The anticipated decline in activity in the construction market in 2010 will also impact demand for aggregates and asphalt. However, demand for aggregates and asphalt will benefit from a growing civil engineering market.
Following a period of sharp decline in late 2008 and early 2009, the housing market stabilized during the second quarter of 2009. This positive trend continued during the third quarter and certain markets, such as Norway and metropolitan areas in Sweden, experienced price increases. NCC has revised its outlook for the housing market and now expects stable demand for housing units in all of NCC's sub-markets in 2010, with the exception of Denmark and the Baltic region.
The negative market trend for commercial properties continued during the third quarter. The rental market reported rising vacancies and falling rents. The number of property transactions increased, albeit from a low level. Return requirements stabilized. NCC's assessment is that the market conditions for commercial properties will be challenging in 2010.

.
Orders received declined to SEK 11,644 M (12,794), primarily due to NCC Construction Sweden. NCC Construction Finland reported increased orders received compared with the year-earlier period, partly as a result of a larger number of housing projects and a shopping center totaling approximately SEK 400 M. The increase in NCC Housing's orders received was due mainly to sales of land with associated construction contracts to investors in Finland. Higher demand for housing units after the summer, combined with earlier price reductions, also contributed to favorable orders received. Orders received increased SEK 542 M compared with the year-earlier period as a result of exchange-rate changes.
Orders received for proprietary housing projects totaled SEK 901 M (938) and orders received for proprietary property projects were negative in the amount of SEK 3 M (positive: 210). This negative figure for orders received was attributable to the postponement of a project start by NCC Property Development.
The order backlog on September 30 amounted to SEK 33,721 M (45,288), of which orders for proprietary housing projects accounted for SEK 3,235 M (10,255) and orders for proprietary property project accounted for SEK 387 M (1,710). On June 30, the order backlog was SEK 35,096 M.
During the third quarter, 246 (389) proprietary housing starts were carried out and 668 (548) units were sold. Following a weak start to the year, the market stabilized in the spring and a price increase was even noted in certain markets in the third quarter. Market-adapted prices for NCC's housing units resulted in continued high sales in all sub-markets. Moreover, NCC Housing sold residential land with associated construction contracts corresponding to 862 (280) housing units to investors. The number of completed unsold housing units on September 30 amounted to 526 (532). On June 30, the number of completed unsold housing units was 620.
Costs incurred in all projects initiated by NCC Property Development totaled SEK 1.1 billion (1.5), corresponding to 84 percent (61) of total project costs of SEK 1.3 billion (2.5). The leasing rate on September 30 was 73 percent (56). On June 30, the leasing rate for the projects was 63 percent.
Orders received totaled SEK 31,741 M (42,195). All business areas reported lower orders received compared with the year-earlier period. NCC Construction Sweden accounted for a considerable portion of this decline. NCC Housing also reported significantly lower orders received due to the weak housing market at the beginning of the year. Orders received increased SEK 1,407 M compared with the yearearlier period as a result of exchange-rate changes.
Orders received for proprietary housing projects in the Group totaled SEK 1,679 M (4,217). During the first nine months of the year, 567 (1,569) proprietary housing starts were carried out and 2,353 (2,058) units were sold. Orders received for proprietary property development projects amounted to SEK 194 M (1,307).
Compared with December 31, 2008, the order backlog declined 17 percent, or SEK 6,705 M, during the first nine months of the year.

1) All comparative figures are pro forma due to new organisation structure.
Net sales fell 12 percent to SEK 12,211 M (13,945). The decline compared with the year-earlier period was attributable to several quarters with a downward trend for orders received in the Construction units, which impacted earnings after a lag period. Sales of housing units increased somewhat. No property sales were reported. Volumes of asphalt and aggregates followed the trend of declining demand in the construction market and were lower than in the year-earlier period. Exchange-rate changes had a positive impact of SEK 422 M on sales compared with the year-earlier period.
Net sales amounted to SEK 37,268 M (40,980). Net sales increased SEK 1,635 M compared with the year-earlier period as a result of exchange-rate changes.
Operating profit totaled SEK 792 M (787). Despite lower volumes, NCC Construction Sweden and NCC Construction Norway managed to maintain their operating margins due to effective project implementation and reduced costs. Earnings for the year-earlier period included discontinuation costs totaling SEK 25 M for NCC Construction Sweden's subsidiary Däldehög. NCC Construction Denmark's earnings were affected by declining volumes. Earnings for NCC Construction Finland were impacted negatively by a weak market in the Baltic region.
NCC Housing's sales of housing units were high, but with low margins. The company's earnings were also impacted by impairment losses of SEK 47 M on land and completed unsold housing units in Denmark and the Baltic region. The year-earlier period was affected by impairment losses in Germany and impairment losses totaling SEK 31 M on goodwill, machinery and equipment in Denmark.
NCC Property Development's earnings were lower than in the year-earlier period as a result of no property sales.
NCC Roads' earnings increased compared with the year-earlier period, primarily due to reduced prices for input materials and cost adjustments. Expenses totaling SEK 45 M were charged against the company's earnings for a competition-impeding fee in Finland.
Other items and eliminations amounted to SEK 68 M (56). This item included gain in an amount of SEK 70 M from a settlement in a project in the discontinued business area NCC International Projects.
Profit after financial items totaled SEK 676 M (702). The deterioration in net financial items was mainly attributable to high interest rates in the Baltic region and Russia.
Profit after tax for the period amounted to SEK 511 M (520).
Operating profit amounted to SEK 1,415 M (1,925). The decline compared with the year-earlier period was largely due to a weaker first quarter, during which earnings were impacted by declining conditions in the housing market, lower earnings from property sales and a weak start to the year for NCC Roads. Exchange-rate changes had a marginal effect on earnings compared with the year-earlier period.
Although NCC Construction Sweden's earnings were lower as a result of declining sales, the operating margin was in line with the year-earlier period. NCC Construction Denmark reported lower operating profit due to declining sales. NCC Construction Finland's earnings deteriorated as a result of lower sales and a weak market in the Baltic region. NCC Construction Norway's operating profit declined compared with the year-earlier period due to lower sales. Higher earnings forecasts for several major projects that are nearing completion resulted in an increased operating margin.
Earnings for NCC Housing were impacted by housing price reductions, which were implemented to stimulate sales of housing units in the sub-markets with the greatest exposure to competition. During the first six months of the year, an impairment loss of SEK 123 M was recognized for completed housing units. Impairment losses for land and unsold housing units for the first nine months totaled SEK 170 M.
NCC Property Development's earnings were lower than in the year-earlier period due to a decline in earnings from property sales and supplementary purchase considerations, as well as a reduction in reversals of rental guarantees.
Despite being affected by declining volumes and a competition-impeding fee, NCC Roads' earnings improved during the third quarter. However, the company's weak first quarter meant that earnings for the first nine months of the year were lower than in the year-earlier period, mainly due to lower volumes.
Other items and eliminations totaled income of SEK 97 M (expense: 37). The increase in this item was primarily attributable to higher sales of housing units and properties, which enabled reversals of sales-rate eliminations and inter-company profit amounting to income of SEK 142 M (expense: 61). The item also includes SEK 50 M in expenses for the increased Swedish competition-impeding fee that NCC was ordered to pay in the second quarter and gain in an amount of SEK 70 M from a settlement in a project in the discontinued business area NCC International Projects.
Profit after financial items amounted to SEK 1,052 M (1,702). The decline in net financial items for the first nine months of the year was due to NCC's increased net indebtedness in the first quarter and high interest rates in the Baltic region and Russia.
Profit after tax for the period amounted to SEK 800 M (1,285). The tax rate for the quarter was 24 percent (26).
NCC Roads' operations and certain operations in NCC Construction units are affected by seasonal variations resulting from cold weather conditions. Accordingly, the first and fourth quarters are generally weaker than the rest of the year.
Cash flow from operating activities before changes in working capital totaled SEK 1,117 M (663). Profit after financial items was somewhat lower than in the preceding quarter. Changes in non-cash items, translation differences in foreign currency and provisions had a more significant impact than in the yearearlier period.
Cash flow from changes in working capital amounted to SEK 538 M (762). Declining investments in land held for future development in both property and housing projects resulted in a stronger cash flow. However, this was offset by higher accounts receivable, primarily in NCC Housing, as a result of increased sales and a work-up rate that exceeded invoiced sales in the projects in Sweden and Finland.
Cash flow from investing activities amounted to negative SEK 104 M (negative: 93). The sale of minor subsidiaries contributed positively to investing activities.
Cash flow before financing totaled SEK 1,552 M (1,333).
Cash flow from financing activities amounted to negative SEK 2,597 M (negative: 1,085).
Cash flow from operating activities before changes in working capital totaled SEK 1,517 M (1,532). Lower earnings were offset by an increase in such non-cash items as impairment losses, changes in provisions and translation differences in foreign currency.
Cash flow from changes in working capital amounted to negative SEK 155 M (negative: 2,732). High sales and lower investments in land held for future development in NCC Property Development and NCC Housing contributed significantly to this major improvement in cash flow. This was offset to a certain degree by an increase in other working capital, mainly in the form of increased capital being tied up in the work-up of projects and a decline in interest-free financing.
Cash flow from investing activities amounted to negative SEK 420 M (negative: 477). A number of small subsidiaries have been divested to date in the current fiscal year. During the preceding year, the remaining 50 percent of the half-owned company Valtatie Oy was acquired.
Cash flow before financing totaled SEK 942 M (negative: 1,677).
Cash flow from financing activities amounted to negative SEK 1,415 M (996).
Cash and cash equivalents, including short-term investments with a maturity period exceeding three months, totaled SEK 1,709 M (1,335).

Net indebtedness (interest-bearing liabilities less cash and cash equivalents less interesting-bearing receivables) amounted to SEK 2,654 M (4,688) on September 30; see also Note 5 Specification of net indebtedness. On June 30, net indebtedness totaled SEK 4,256 M. The maturity period for interest-bearing liabilities was 35 (14) months at the end of the quarter. On September 30, NCC's unutilized committed lines of credit amounted to SEK 4.5 billion (4.5), with an average remaining maturity period of 27 (34) months.
In the 2008 Annual Report (pages 39-42), an account is made of the risks to which NCC is exposed. The description of risks reported there remains relevant.
Since the recognition of certain items is based on estimates and assessments, such items are subject to uncertainty. In the prevailing market situation, this is particularly relevant for the value of land held for future development and for ongoing property development and housing projects. These are recognized based on existing assumptions, which are currently difficult to assess, concerning, for example, sales prices, production costs, land prices, rent levels, required rates of return and the timing of the start of production and/or sales. NCC continuously monitors market trends and regularly tests the assumptions that have been made.
Significant risks and uncertainties for the Parent Company are identical to those of the Group, as described above.
On May 28, 2009, the Swedish Market Court ordered NCC to pay competition-impeding damages of SEK 200 M. NCC posted a provision of SEK 150 M in the accounts for 2007 to cover the fee. Since the fee was raised, SEK 50 M was charged against earnings for the second quarter of 2009. Payment of the fee affected the Group's cash flow for the second quarter of 2009 in the amount of SEK 200 M. The verdict of the Swedish Market Court cannot be appealed.
The Supreme Administrative Court of Finland ordered NCC Roads Oy to pay an administrative fee of approximately SEK 46 M for violations of the Finnish Competition Act. The half-owned company VLT Trading Oy, formerly Valtatie Oy, was also fined approximately SEK 48 M, bringing the total fees to be paid by NCC to about SEK 70 M. The fees to be paid by NCC and the half-owned company VLT were charged against NCC's earnings in an amount of SEK 25 M already in the fourth quarter of 2007. The remaining fee of approximately SEK 45 million was charged against earnings in the third quarter of 2009 and will impact cash flow in the fourth quarter by about SEK 70 M. The verdict of the Supreme Administrative Court cannot be appealed. NCC has received a number of claims for damages from municipalities and the National Road Administration in Finland. Possible claims will be determined by a general court.
No shares were repurchased during the first nine months of 2009. The company holds 21,138 Series B treasury shares. Including these shares, the number of shares outstanding amounts to 108,414,684.
NCC's Annual General Meeting will be held in Stockholm on April 14, 2010.
NCC's Annual General Meeting on April 7, 2009 elected Viveca Ax:son Johnson (Chairman of the Board of Nordstjernan AB), Mats Lagerqvist (President of Swedbank Robur AB) och Ulf Lundahl (Deputy CEO of L E Lundbergföretagen AB) as members of the Nomination Committee. Viveca Ax:son Johnson was elected Chairman of the Nomination Committee. Tomas Billing, Chairman of the Board, is a co-opted member of the Nomination Committee, but has no voting rights.

This interim report was compiled in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The interim report was also compiled in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and the interpretations of applicable financial standards, International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC), as they have been approved by the EU.
The interim report was prepared in accordance with the same accounting policies and methods of calculation as the 2008 Annual Report (Note 1, pages 54-64), with the exception of the policies described below.
Revised IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements is applied from January 1, 2009. One of the amendments is that income and expenses that were previously recognized directly in shareholders' equity are now recognized in the Statement of comprehensive income in conjunction with the income statement. New designations for the financial statements may be used, although this is not compulsory. NCC has chosen to retain the old designations.
Revised IAS 23 Borrowing Costs is applied from January 1, 2009. Borrowing costs are now capitalized for projects that take a substantial period of time to prepare for use and that were initiated after January 1, 2009. The change to IAS 23 had a marginal impact during the quarter and the first nine months of the year.
IFRS 8 Operating Segments is applied from January 1, 2009. The new business area NCC Housing is a segment as part of this reporting. The new segment also means that the former Construction business areas has changed. Comparative figures for 2008 are changed in the new structure. Refer also to Note 6 Segment reporting.

In its capacity as issuer, NCC AB is releasing the information in this interim report for January-September 2009 in accordance with Chapter 17 of the Swedish Securities Market Act (2007:528). The information was distributed to the media for publication at 11:10 a.m. CET on Tuesday, November 3.
We have reviewed the condensed interim financial information for NCC AB for the period from January 1 to September 30, 2009. The Board of Directors and the President are responsible for the preparation and presentation of this 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.
We conducted our review in accordance with the Standard on Review Engagements SÖG 2410, Review of Interim Financial Information 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 has a different direction and is substantially more limited in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with auditing standards in Sweden (RS) and other generally accepted auditing practices. The procedures performed in a review do not enable us to obtain a level of assurance that would make us aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, the opinion expressed based on a review does not give the same level of assurance as a conclusion expressed based on an audit.
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim financial information has not been not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act for the Group, and with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act for the Parent Company.
