Comments by CEO Olle Ehrlén

"Demand in the Nordic construction market was higher during the first six months of 2010 than a year earlier. As a result of an improvement in orders received in the Construction units and an increase in proprietary housing starts, NCC's orders received for the first six months rose 40 percent and 16 percent in the second quarter.

"The Nordic housing market was stable during the first half year 2010. NCC started 2 095 (681) housing units, whereof 397 (360) in projects sold to investors.

"Profit after financial items for the first six months amounted to SEK 434 M (395) and to SEK 617 M (719) for the second quarter.The decline in the second quarter was mainly due to a weaker sales trend and a lower contribution from the development businesses.

"The cash flow, that due to seasonal variations is weak in the second quarter, was good, even though it was lower than the exceptionally strong cash flow the year-earlier period. Net indebtedness at the end of the quarter totaled SEK 1,734 M (7,699).

"The increase in orders received during the first half-year will result in higher sales later in the year, and NCC plans to recruit 800 new employees by year-end. Greater demand in the construction market will also entail a risk for increased purchasing costs. NCC will counter this development primarily through coordinated purchasing volumes and by increasing the share of international purchases."

NCC AB

Market outlook

Demand in the Nordic construction market recovered in late 2009 and early 2010, albeit from a low level. The trend of increased demand continued during the second quarter. NCC anticipates a certain degree of growth in construction investments in housing, offices and other buildings during 2010 and 2011, while the civil-engineering market is expected to be stable.

Demand for aggregates improved somewhat during the second quarter and will be impacted in the future by increased activity in the construction market. The asphalt market is characterized by intense price competition, particularly in Denmark.

The price level in the housing market in Sweden, Norway and Germany were stable in the second quarter. Price levels increased somewhat in Finland, Denmark, Estonia and St. Petersburg. NCC expects demand for housing units in 2010 to be unchanged or to increase slightly.

Vacancy rates and rents in the leasing market for commercial properties have stabilized. The number of property transactions increased during the second quarter, albeit from a low level. The yield requirements in the Nordic markets were generally unchanged.

Orders received and order backlog

1) Comparative figures have been recalculated to comply with a new accounting policy according to IFRIC 15, refer to page 10.

Most recent quarter, April-June 2010

Orders received rose 16 percent to SEK 14,601 M (12,555). The increase was partly attributable to a rise in orders received for NCC Housing. Several housing projects were ordered in NCC Construction Finland, primarily in the Helsinki area. NCC Construction Sweden secured a number of major projects, including an office property in Stockholm worth approximately SEK 500 M. Orders received decreased SEK 555 M due to changes in currency exchange rates compared to the year-earlier period.

Orders received for proprietary housing projects totaled SEK 1,831 M (842), and orders received for proprietary property projects amounted to SEK 369 M (40). The number of project starts in NCC Housing increased primarily in Finland, Norway and Germany.

As of June 30, 2010, the order backlog rose to SEK 42,026 M (38,196), of which orders for proprietary housing projects accounted for SEK 6,283 M (7,027) and orders for proprietary property projects for SEK 1,098 M (615). As of March 31, 2010, the order backlog totaled SEK 40,497 M.

Proprietary housing

During the second quarter, 732 (262) proprietary housing starts were reported and 794 (1,109) units were sold. Although the market was stable, sales declined since there were fewer housing units for sale than in the year-earlier period. As of March 31, 2010, the number of completed unsold housing units was 262.

The number of completed unsold housing units declined during the second quarter and was 178 (620) on June 30, 2010.

Proprietary property development projects

During the second quarter, NCC Property Development started construction of two (0) projects: one in Sweden and one in Finland. At the end of the quarter, NCC had 19 completed and ongoing property projects, of which six have been sold but have not yet been recognized in profit. Costs incurred in all projects initiated by NCC Property Development totaled SEK 1.1 billion (1.8), corresponding to 48 percent (89) of the company's total project costs of SEK 2.2 billion (2.0). The leasing rate on June 30 was 79 percent (73). The leasing rate in projects on March 31 was 73 percent.

Interim period, January-June 2010

Orders received amounted to SEK 28,605 M (20,464). The increase was attributable to a rise in orders received for NCC Housing and all Construction units. Changes in currency exchange rates decreased the orders received by SEK 933 M compared to the year-earlier period.

Orders received for proprietary housing projects totaled SEK 4,271 M (1,167). The market conditions for new housing project starts were more favorable than in the year-earlier period. During the first six months of the year, 1,698 (321) proprietary housing starts were reported and 1,327 (1,685) units were sold. Orders received for proprietary property projects amounted to SEK 1,080 M (197).

Net sales

Most recent quarter, April-June 2010

Net sales fell 21 percent compared with the year-earlier period and amounted to SEK 11,949 M (15,060). The lower volume was mainly due to fewer completed and transferred housing units in NCC Housing, as well as to the decline in orders received in the Construction units in 2009. Changes in currency exchange rates decreased net sales by SEK 487 M compared to the year-earlier period.

Interim period, January-June 2010

Net sales amounted to SEK 21,634 M (26,069). The decline was partly due to the lower number of completed and transferred housing units in NCC Housing, the downturn in orders received in the Construction units in 2009 and a cold winter that resulted in delays and reduced activity. Net sales decreased by SEK 800 M due to changes in currency exchange rates in comparison to the same period previous year.

Earnings

Most recent quarter, April-June 2010

Operating profit for the second quarter of 2010 amounted to SEK 670 M (855), corresponding to an operating margin of 5.6 percent (5.7).

NCC Construction Sweden reported lower earnings compared with the year-earlier period due to declining sales. Impairment losses of a receivable in the Baltic countries and of a project in Finland impacted NCC Construction Finland's results. NCC Construction Denmark's earnings increased as a result of cost-cutting measures. Projects completed in the second quarter had a positive impact on NCC Construction Norway's earnings.

NCC Road's earnings were affected by intense price competition, particularly in Denmark. Earnings in the year-earlier period were impacted positively by the final settlement of the sale of the Polish asphalt operations, in an amount of SEK 38 M.

NCC Housing's result was in line with the year-earlier period. The company's earnings were impacted positively by the sale of development rights. In the preceding year, impairment losses totaling SEK 55 M were recognized on completed unsold housing units.

NCC Property Development recognized two projects in profit during the second quarter, compared with six projects in the year-earlier period.

"Other and eliminations" amounted to SEK 33 M (36). Provisions for inter-company gains amounted to a loss of SEK 13 M (profit: 107). This year, the item "Others and eliminations" included profit totaling SEK 57 M from the Polish A2 highway project, while competition-impeding damages of SEK 50 M were included in the year-earlier period.

Profit after financial items amounted to SEK 617 M (719). Net financial items amounted to an expense of SEK 54 M, a year-on-year improvement of SEK 82 M. The year-on-year reduction in interest expense derived primarily from the lower net debt.

Profit after tax for the period amounted to SEK 457 M (532). The effective tax rate was 26 percent (26).

Interim period, January – June 2010

Operating profit amounted to SEK 556 M (672). The lower result was primarily due to declining volumes for NCC Construction Sweden, a weak start to 2010 and price pressure for NCC Roads, as well as a decline in the profit recognized for property sales in NCC Property Development. Several business areas were impacted negatively by the effects of the long and cold winter. Although NCC Housing experienced a positive trend due to a stabilized housing market in the Nordic region, fewer ongoing projects and price reductions in 2009 will gradually impact earnings for 2010.

Provisions for inter-company gains were higher than in 2009, thus explaining the increased loss recognized under the item "Other and eliminations."

Profit after financial items amounted to SEK 434 M (395). Net financial items amounted to an expense of SEK 122 M.

Profit after tax for the period amounted to SEK 319 M (291). The effective tax rate was 27 percent (26).

Seasonal effects

NCC Roads' operations and certain operations in NCC Construction units are affected by seasonal variations resulting from cold weather conditions. Accordingly, the first and final quarters are generally weaker than the rest of the year. This year, the impact on the first six months of the year was greater than usual.

Cash flow

Most recent quarter, April - June 2010

Cash flow from operating activities before changes in working capital totaled SEK 766 M (647). The improvement was primarily attributable to lower exchange-rate differences in non-cash items and a reduction in tax paid.

Cash flow from changes in working capital was a negative SEK 848 M (pos: 819). Cash flow was negative due to seasonally weak cash flow in NCC Roads, low sales of property projects and increased working capital in parts of the contracting operations and NCC Roads.

Cash flow from investing activities amounted to a negative SEK 87 M (neg: 175).

Cash flow before financing amounted to a negative SEK 169 M (pos: 1,291). Despite improved cash flow from operating activities and lower investments, the increase in working capital meant that cash flow for the quarter before financing was negative. The reduced working capital in the year-earlier period contributed to increased cash flow for the period.

Cash flow from financing activities amounted to SEK 416 M (neg: 587). During the quarter, dividends to shareholders and higher working capital were financed by an increase in external loans. In the yearearlier period, the reduced working capital enabled loan amortization.

Interim report January - June 2010

Cash flow from operating activities before changes in working capital amounted to SEK 733 M (436).

Cash flow from changes in working capital amounted to SEK 128 M (neg: 22). The improvement was largely related to housing operations, in part because of finalized housing projects for which payment from customers was received in connection with occupancy and in part because of sales of land intended for housing. Fewer property sales were implemented compared with the year-earlier period.

Cash flow from investing activities amounted to a negative SEK 205 M (neg: 316).

Cash flow before financing amounted to SEK 655 M (98).

Cash flow from financing activities amounted to a negative SEK 429 M (pos: 734). The dividend had a negative impact of SEK 650 M (neg: 434) on cash flow. There were more ongoing housing projects in the year-earlier period, which required increased external financing, primarily during the first quarter.

Total cash and cash equivalents, including short-term investments with a maturity period exceeding three months, amounted to SEK 2,814 M (2,947).

On March 31, 2010, net indebtedness amounted to SEK 930 M. The maturity period for capital tied up in interest-bearing liabilities, excluding loans in Finnish housing companies and Swedish tenant owner associations, was 36 (25) months at the end of the quarter.

Notes

Note 1. Accounting policies

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

The interim report has been prepared in accordance with the same accounting policies and methods of calculation as the 2009 Annual Report (Note 1, pages 56 – 63), with the exception of the policy described below.

New accounting policies as of 2010

During the interim period, NCC did not conduct any transactions that were affected by IFRIC 12, Service Concession Arrangements, or the revised IFRS 3, Business Combinations, and IAS 27 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements.

IFRIC 15, Agreements for the Construction of Real Estate

As of January 1, 2010, NCC applies IFRIC 15, Agreements for the Construction of Real Estate. This entails that sales of housing projects will generally not be recognized as profit until the projects have been transferred to the end customer, in contrast to prior years, when profit was recognized in pace with completion and sale. The change entails that recognition of revenues and profits on sales of housing projects will be deferred normally by about one or two years, compared with prior accounting policies.

NCC's assets and liabilities are also affected by the introduction of IFRIC 15. The greatest change is that unsold housing in Swedish tenant owner associations and Finnish housing companies has to be recognized in NCC's balance sheet, which mainly affects interest-bearing liabilities. This also entails a change in NCC's key figures, primarily capital employed, the equity/assets ratio and indebtedness. NCC's financial objectives have been adapted. NCC Housing is the segment of NCC's financial statements that is mainly affected by this change, although the changes have a minor impact on NCC Property Development and Construction units.

The effects of IFRIC 15 were published on March 17, 2010 (www.ncc.se/sv/ABOUT-NCC/Investorrelations/Capital-Market-Day/) for full-year 2009 and for all quarters of 2009. The tables below show the effects on profit and loss and on major balance sheet items as of June and December 2009. Comparative figures for 2009 in this interim report have been recalculated in accordance with IFRIC 15.
