Comments from CEO Peter Wågström

The first nine months of the year were characterized by favorable demand for NCC's products and services, which has enabled us to build a historically high order backlog. This is reassuring and will provide us with the scope to take action in the event that we enter a period of weaker economic growth. Many signs now indicate that this will be the case in 2012.

Our orders received in the third quarter remained strong and were in line with the year-earlier period. We were successful in our efforts to select projects with margins that exceed the average reflected in the order backlog. I am particularly pleased to note that our Danish operations are consistently following our strategy of focusing exclusively on projects that generate favorable profitability, even if this results in a decrease in orders received.

Profit after financial items amounted to SEK 553 M (773) for the quarter, which I consider to be an unsatisfactory result. During the quarter, we were forced to post impairment losses on the value of land in Denmark and Latvia in a total amount of SEK 140 M. NCC's impairment losses on land in the year-earlier period amounted to SEK 38 M. The housing market in Denmark has been week since 2006 and housing prices outside the Copenhagen region fell during the third quarter, resulting in an impairment requirement in our Danish portfolio of development rights. In Norway and Finland, we have posted impairment losses on projects during the year, as well as during the quarter, as a result of previously implemented measures. As usual, our project portfolio was subject to both write-ups and impairment losses, with the amount of impairment losses unfortunately outweighing the amount of write-ups during the quarter.

I am pleased to announce that NCC Roads delivered strong earnings for the quarter. We delivered higher volumes of aggregates at a higher price than in the past and maintained high asphalt volumes, which impacted earnings.

Since we started relatively few development projects (housing units and commercial properties) in 2009 and early 2010, our earnings from development operations were low. However, we initiated a significantly greater number of residential and proprietary property development project starts in 2010 and 2011, which will impact future earnings. Property Development leased out 40,000 square meters during the quarter, which is a strong sign that our products and processes are functioning well. The number of housing units sold to private customers in our residential operations was in line with the year-earlier period.

PROFIT/LOSS AFTER FINANCIAL ITEMS, SEK M

NCC's core values are honesty, respect and trust. All I can say is that the unlawful collaboration in which we were involved in the Trondheim region between 2005 and 2008 was a violation of the law, our internal regulations and our values. We have trained more than 3,000 managers in the areas of competition law and business ethics, invested considerable work in our values and established clear-cut regulations that cannot be misinterpreted. As soon as our involvement was discovered, we enhanced our training package, reviewed our processes and placed even greater emphasis on our values. Regardless of what we do now, we cannot undo what has happened, which I regret deeply. I am now doing my utmost to rebuild trust in NCC.

Peter Wågström, President and CEO Solna, October 28, 2011

Group performance

MOST RECENT QUARTER, JULY – SEPTEMBER 2011

ORDERS RECEIVED AND ORDER BACKLOG

Orders received amounted to SEK 12,499 M (12,183). The construction operations in Finland reported high orders received as a result of several major projects, while orders received were lower in Denmark and for NCC Housing. The Group's order backlog amounted to a historically high SEK 49,437 M. Exchange-rate effects had an adverse impact of SEK 152 M on orders received compared with the yearearlier period.

NET SALES

Net sales amounted to SEK 13,033 M (12,448). NCC's Construction units have been experiencing higher orders received for a long period, which, after a certain time lag, result in increased sales. NCC Roads' sales increase tracked the higher level of activity in the Nordic construction markets. Exchange-rate effects had an adverse impact of SEK 177 M on sales compared with the year-earlier period.

EARNINGS

NCC's operating profit amounted to SEK 612 M (850). The year-on-year difference was primarily attributable to impairment losses on land and weaker earnings in NCC Construction Finland and NCC Construction Norway. Despite higher net indebtedness, net financial items improved to an expense of SEK 59 M (expense: 77) due to positive interest-rate changes and a higher yield on cash and cash equivalents.

CASH FLOW

Cash flow from operating activities was weaker than in the year-earlier period due to lower earnings and lower adjustments for non-cash items (essentially exchange-rate differences). Capital tied up in properties classed as current assets increased as a result of a higher number of housing project starts.

Cash flow from other working capital improved mainly because of an increase in interest-free financing.

GROUP PERFORMANCE

SEASONAL EFFECTS

NCC Roads' operations and certain operations in NCC's Construction units are impacted by seasonal variations due to cold weather. The first and final quarters are normally weaker than the rest of the year. For the rolling 12-month period ending September 30, 2011, net sales amounted to SEK 49,754 M (50,026) and operating profit to SEK 1,725 M (2,173).

ORDER BACKLOG

NET INDEBTEDNESS

Net indebtedness (interest-bearing liabilities less cash and cash equivalents less interest-bearing receivables) on September 30 amounted to SEK 4,621 M (1,610), refer also to Note 5, Specification of net indebtedness. At June 30, 2011, net indebtedness was SEK 4,302 M. The capital maturity period for interest-bearing liabilities, excluding loans in Finnish housing companies and Swedish tenant owner associations, was 30 (34) months at the end of the quarter. NCC's unutilized committed lines of credit on September 30 amounted to SEK 3.6 billion (3.6), with an average remaining maturity of 20 (30) months.

INTERIM PERIOD, JANUARY – SEPTEMBER 2011

ORDERS RECEIVED OCH ORDER BACKLOG

Orders received amounted to SEK 42,935 M (40,788). The increase was attributable to such factors as favorable demand for housing during the first six months of the year. Orders received in the third quarter were in line with the year-earlier period. Exchange-rate effects had an adverse impact of SEK 1,276 M on orders received compared with the year-earlier period. The order backlog rose SEK 9,011 M from January 1 and amounted to SEK 49,437 M.

NET SALES

Net sales amounted to SEK 34,416 M (34,082). Sales in all of NCC's Construction units and in NCC Roads increased. NCC Housing reported weaker sales due to a lower average price per recognized unit for private customers and weaker sales to investors. Exchange-rate effects had an adverse impact of SEK 976 M on sales compared with the year-earlier period.

EARNINGS

NCC's operating profit totaled SEK 876 M (1,406). The yearon-year difference was primarily attributable to weaker earnings in NCC Construction Finland, NCC Construction Norway and NCC Housing, as well as impairment losses on land. Net financial items amounted to an expense of SEK 148 M (expense: 199). The improvement was due to lower interest-rate levels and a higher yield on cash and cash equivalents.

CASH FLOW

Cash flow from operating activities was weaker than in the year-earlier period due to lower earnings and lower adjustments for non-cash items (essentially exchange-rate differences). Capital tied up in properties classed as current assets increased as a result of a higher number of housing project starts.

Cash flow from other working capital improved mainly due to an increase in interest-free financing.

NCC's Construction units

MARKET PERFORMANCE

The market trend was positive during the first nine months of the year and demand was favorable. However, the turbulence in the global economy could impact future demand. Initial signs of decreased activity were noted in the most recent quarter. GDP growth forecasts in several countries were reduced for 2012 and NCC does not expect its construction investments to grow significantly in 2012.

MOST RECENT QUARTER, JULY – SEPTEMBER 2011

ORDERS RECEIVED AND ORDER BACKLOG

Orders received rose compared with the year-earlier period. The start-up of four proprietary property development projects contributed to the increase. Orders received were lower in Denmark due to strict project selection. The strong orders received in Finland contributed to an increase in the order backlog during the period.

NET SALES

Net sales increased in all Construction units.

OPERATING RESULTS

Earnings in the Swedish operations were at virtually the same level as in the year-earlier period. The Danish operations reported higher results and a stronger operating margin due to successful risk management and project selection. The results in Finland declined as a result of continued impairment losses in a major project. Following the implementation of measures in Finland, it became evident that earlier impairment losses in a project were insufficient. Additional central resources have been allocated to complete the project. The results in Norway were impacted adversely by impairment losses on projects in the North West region, as well as increased guarantee costs and pension costs.

INTERIM PERIOD, JANUARY – SEPTEMBER 2011

ORDERS RECEIVED AND ORDER BACKLOG

Orders received increased due to favorable demand for housing units and civil engineering projects in the first six months of the year, and the start-up of proprietary property development projects contributed to the increase in the third quarter.

NET SALES

Net sales were stronger year-on-year in all units due to a higher opening order backlog and a continued increase in orders received during the year.

OPERATING RESULTS

The results in the Swedish operations were lower than in the year-earlier period, while the results of the Danish operations were higher year-on-year. The results in Finland declined due to impairment losses on a major project and a weak market in the Baltic countries. Impairment losses on projects and increased guarantee costs and pension costs impacted the results in Norway.

MARKET PERFORMANCE

The increased demand in the construction market resulted in higher demand for aggregates. Following a significant decline in the aggregates market in 2009, volumes recovered in 2010 and 2011. Asphalt volumes declined in 2010, but have increased in 2011.

MOST RECENT QUARTER, JULY – SEPTEMBER 2011

NET SALES

In line with earlier quarters, the third quarter was characterized by higher volumes, primarily for aggregates but also to a certain extent for asphalt. Sales rose year-onyear and amounted to SEK 3,853 M (3,674).

OPERATING RESULTS

Earnings for the quarter were higher than in the year-earlier period. Operating profit rose to SEK 432 M (428), mainly due to increased volumes and higher market prices for aggregates. Higher prices for input materials, primarily oilbased products, resulted in lower earnings for asphalt/paving compared with the year-earlier period.

CAPITAL EMPLOYED

Capital employed rose SEK 0.2 billion as a result of a continued high level of activity and amounted to SEK 3.8 billion.

INTERIM PERIOD, JANUARY – SEPTEMBER 2011

NET SALES

High volumes, primarily for aggregates and to a certain extent asphalt, resulted in a year-on-year increase in sales, which amounted to SEK 8,218 M (7,732).

OPERATING RESULTS

Profit for the period improved year-on-year and amounted to SEK 315 M (233). The increase was mainly attributable to a stronger first quarter and a stable trend in the second and third quarters, primarily for aggregates and road services.

CAPITAL EMPLOYED

Capital employed rose SEK 1.0 billion as a result of increased activity and amounted to SEK 3.8 billion.

MARKET PERFORMANCE

Demand in the housing markets in Sweden, Finland and Germany is stable. The supply of newly produced housing and housing in the second-hand market was high and price adjustments were made in several markets, particularly for housing in Denmark. In Norway and St. Petersburg, demand is favorable and housing prices increased. In all of NCC's principal markets with the exception of Denmark, there is an underlying need for housing, and NCC's assessment is that prices for newly produced housing units will be stable in 2012.

Profit amounted to SEK 54 M (244). The weaker result was mainly attributable to lower sales and impairment losses in Denmark. During 2010, NCC increased the number of housing starts for private customers, which will increase the number of housing units recognized in profit in 2011 and 2012.

CAPITAL EMPLOYED

As a result of higher volumes of ongoing projects, capital employed rose SEK 0.7 billion during the period to SEK 7.6 billion.

The opening balances for 2010 were adjusted, partly due to a reclassification to investor market projects, partly since the transition to IFRIC 15 has changed the accounting date for the completion of housing units.

1) Of the total number of housing units under construction to the investor market, 1.265 (1.616), 904 (1.402) has already been profit-recognized and 360 (214) remains to be profit-recognized.

The diagram shows the estimated date of completion for housing production in progress for private customers (both housing sold and those for sale). Recognition of results of housing projects sold to private customers occurs at the time of transfer.

NCC Property Development

MARKET PERFORMANCE

Concerns regarding the debt crisis in Europe manifested in a cautious approach in the market, resulting in protracted decision-making processes. No major changes occurred in the rental markets in the third quarter with regard to rents and vacancy rates.

MOST RECENT QUARTER, JULY – SEPTEMBER 2011

PROPERTY PROJECTS

Two projects were recognized during the quarter: the CH3 Skejby office project in Denmark and the Polaris 3 office project in Finland. Four new projects were started during the period: the Plaza Loiste office project and Tavestehus centrum shopping center in Finland, the Torsplan retail and office project in Sweden and the CH Tangen office project in Denmark.

At the end of the quarter, 23 projects were in progress or completed but not yet recognized in profit. Expenses incurred in all of NCC Property Development's ongoing projects amounted to SEK 2.0 billion (1.1), corresponding to 37 percent (41) of the total project cost of SEK 5.4 billion (2.7). Leases were signed for 40,000 square meters during the quarter. The leasing rate for ongoing or completed projects was 45 percent.

NET SALES

Net sales were somewhat lower year-on-year and the two projects that were recognized accounted for the largest portion of sales.

OPERATING RESULTS

Two projects were recognized in profit, which also included land sales. Profit was charged with impairment losses on land in Riga, Latvia, totaling SEK 38 M, which resulted in lower year-on-year operating profit.

CAPITAL EMPLOYED

Capital employed declined compared to previous quarter to SEK 3.3 billion.

INTERIM PERIOD, JANUARY – SEPTEMBER 2011

PROPERTY PROJECTS

A total of four projects were recognized: two in Denmark, one in Sweden and one in Finland. Construction started on eight projects: three in Sweden, three in Finland and two in Denmark. Leases were signed for 61,000 square meters during the period.

NET SALES

Net sales were higher than in the year-earlier period. The largest portion of net sales was from the two projects recognized in the second and third quarters.

OPERATING RESULTS

Operating profit declined year-on-year. During the first quarter, no projects were recognized in profit, only one land sale with a minor impact on revenue. During the second quarter, two projects were recognized in profit: one in Denmark and one in Sweden.

CAPITAL EMPLOYED

Capital employed rose as a result of investments in ongoing property projects and amounted to SEK 3.3 billion.

Notes to the Parent Company's income statement and balance sheet

NOTE 1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Parent Company has compiled its interim report pursuant to the Swedish Annual Accounts Act (1995:1554) and the Swedish Financial Reporting Board's recommendation RFR 2 Accounting for Legal Entities (September 2011). The latter one contains new principles regarding accounting of group contributions.

The interim report for the Parent Company has been prepared in accordance with the same accounting policies and methods of calculation as the 2010 Annual Report (Note 1, pages 56-63).

Significant risks and uncertainties

GROUP

The recent uncertainty in the global economy has also led to concerns regarding the subsequent impact on the Nordic construction and property market. Future developments may in turn have an impact on the measurement of certain items that are based on appreciations and estimations. Values that

may be impacted include land held for future development and ongoing property development and housing projects. An account of the risks to which NCC may be exposed is presented in the 2010 Annual Report (pages 41-43). This description remains relevant.

PARENT COMPANY

Significant risks and uncertainties for the Parent Company are identical to those of the Group.

Related-party transactions

The companies related to the Parent Company are the Nordstjernan Group, the Axel Johnson Group and NCC's subsidiaries, associated companies and joint ventures. The Parent Company's related-party transactions were of a production character. Related-company sales during the July-September quarter amounted to SEK 32 M (32) and purchases to SEK 126 M (120). For the January-September interim period, sales amounted to SEK 140 M (95) and purchases to SEK 397 M (343). The transactions were conducted on normal market terms.

Events after the close of the quarter

As previously disclosed by NCC (press release, interim report and Annual Report), an investigation has been under way since 2010 into suspected infringements of Norwegian competition law. On October 17, the Norwegian Competition Authority issued a preliminary ruling to the effect that NCC will have to pay competition infringement damages corresponding to approximately SEK 200 million. The alleged infringements pertain to asphalt paving work in two areas during 2005-2008. NCC considers the amount of damages to be excessive, but admits to a number of circumstances. NCC is now evaluating the ruling by the Norwegian Competition Authority and has six weeks to refute it. Subsequently, the Competition Authority will arrive at its definitive ruling on the matter, which can then be heard in a court of law. NCC made a provision in the third quarter to cover any future payment liability, although the provision amount is significantly lower than the amount called for by the Norwegian Competition Authority.

Senior Vice President Corporate Communications Annica Gerentz vacated this position on October 10 and thereafter will be available to assist the CEO. Ulf Thorné, currently Communication Manager for NCC Construction Sverige AB, will serve as Acting Vice President Corporate Communications until a successor for Annica Gerentz has been appointed.

Review report

We have reviewed condensed interim financial information of NCC AB for the period January 1, 2011 to September 30, 2011. It is the Board of Directors and the President who 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 the interim financial information 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 focus and a substantially more limited scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the International Standards on Auditing 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. Therefore, the conclusion expressed on the basis of a review does not provide the same level of assurance as a conclusion expressed on the basis of an audit.

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the condensed interim financial information has not, in all material aspects, been compiled for the Group in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act, and for the Parent Company in accordance with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act.

NCC in brief

VISION

NCC's vision is to be the leading company in the development of future environments for working, living and communication.

OBJECTIVE

NCC's overriding objective is to have the industry's highest production efficiency and the best employees and thereby be able to develop the most attractive customer offerings.

BUSINESS CONCEPT – RESPONSIBLE ENTERPRISE

NCC develops and builds future environments for working, living and communication. Supported by its values, NCC and its customers jointly identify needs-based, cost-effective and high-quality solutions that generate added value for all of NCC's stakeholders and contribute to sustainable social development.

ORGANIZATION

The Group conducts construction and development operations that extend from development to production and the aftermarket. The various operating sectors encompass the entire chain, but focus on different phases and have different capital requirements. The development operations are represented by NCC Housing and NCC Property Development and are characterized by early capital investments that are tied up for many years in, for example, a land investment or the sale of a finished project. The producing Construction units in NCC's construction and civil engineering operations require small amounts of tied-up capital and generate favorable cash flows. NCC Roads' operations are capital-intensive since they utilize such fixed

assets as asphalt plants and quarries. NCC Roads also accounts for most of the aftermarket through repair and maintenance activities for road networks.

FOCUS AREAS OF THE STRATEGY

NCC's strategic orientation is to focus on products and services that give the Group a competitive edge over its competitors. The Group's geographical focus in on the Nordic region, Germany, the Baltic countries and St. Petersburg.

NCC's primary focus is on profitable growth and the Group aims to be a leading player in its existing and highly familiar markets. Growth must not compromise profitability and profitability is a prerequisite for growth. Achieving profitability requires a focus on quality and costs. Capitalizing on Group synergies across business areas and borders will strengthen the customer offering and lower the Group's costs. Sharper focus on the customer will strengthen NCC's position in the value chain. Since becoming the customers' first choice requires the foremost expertise and the best employees, the focus areas of the strategy are customers, costs and competence.

CUSTOMERS

The most attractive customer offering.

COSTS

The highest level of production efficiency.

COMPETENCE

The best company to work for.

Definitions

INDUSTRY-SPECIFIC GLOSSARY

Construction costs: The cost of constructing a building, including building accessories, utility-connection fees, other contractor-related costs and VAT. Construction costs do not include the cost of land.

Required yield: The property yield required by NCC Property Development's and NCC Housing's investors for their investment, which is to be achieved through rental guarantees. Operating revenue less operating expenses divided by the investment value, also called yield.

Proprietary project: When NCC, for its own development purposes, acquires land, designs a project, conducts construction work and then sells the project. Pertains to both housing projects and commercial property projects.

Leasing rate: The percentage of anticipated rental revenues that corresponds to signed leases (also called leasing rate based on revenues).

FINANCIAL KEY FIGURES

Return on equity: Net profit for the year according to the income statement excluding non-controlling interests, as a percentage of average shareholders' equity.

Return on capital employed: Profit after financial items including results from participations in associated companies following the reversal of interest expense in relation to average capital employed.

Dividend yield: The dividend as a percentage of the market price at year-end.

Net indebtedness: Interest-bearing liabilities and provisions less financial assets including cash and cash equivalents.

Net sales: The net sales of construction operations are recognized in accordance with the percentage-of-completion principle. These revenues are recognized in pace with the gradual completion of construction projects within the company. For NCC Housing, net sales are recognized when the housing unit is transferred to the end customer. Property sales are recognized on the date on which significant risks and benefits are transferred to the buyer, which normally coincides with the transfer of ownership. In the Parent Company, net sales correspond to recognized sales from completed projects.

Orders received: Value of received projects and changes in existing projects during the period concerned. Proprietary projects for sale, if a decision to initiate the assignment has been taken, are also included among assignments received, as are finished properties included in inventory.

Order backlog: Period-end value of the remaining nonworked-up project revenues for projects received, including proprietary projects for sale that have not been completed.

Capital employed: Total assets less interest-free liabilities including deferred tax liabilities. Average capital employed is calculated as the average of the balances per quarter.

Rounding-off differences may arise in all tables.
