"In many respects, 2010 was significantly better than I could have anticipated early in the year. The economic recovery arrived faster than expected. Demand in the Nordic construction market improved and the demand for housing was strong. For NCC, 2010 was a successful year and we achieved our financial objectives.
"It is gratifying to confirm that we managed to sustain profitability. Sales declined 12 percent in 2010, while profit after financial items, following a strong fourth quarter, was down 5 percent. Orders received increased 18 percent in 2010 and the year-end order backlog was SEK 40,426 M, 12 percent higher than at January 1.
"In 2010, we started considerably more proprietary housing and property projects. In total, 4,498 (2,712) housing units were started, of which 1,009 (1,574) were part of projects sold to investors, and 19 (4) property projects. Increased volumes in development transactions will gradually impact earnings.
"In 2011, NCC anticipates a slight increase in demand in the Nordic construction market. NCC's financial position forms the foundation for growth, which will take place in existing markets and not at the expense of profitability. By capitalizing on Group synergies, focusing on quality and costs, as well as increasing our concentration on customers, NCC will strengthen its customer offering and position."
Demand in the Nordic construction market increased in 2010, albeit from a low level. Housing construction gained momentum and other building construction increased. The civil-engineering market's growth has leveled off. In 2011, NCC expects some growth in construction investments in residential, office and other building construction. The civil-engineering market is expected to remain at the same level as in 2010.
Increased demand in the construction market entails higher demand for aggregates. After a sharp decline in the aggregates market in 2009, volumes recovered during the year and are expected to grow somewhat in 2011. Asphalt volumes also rose during 2010, although NCC does not expect any significant growth in 2011.
The Nordic housing market is characterized by strong demand and stable prices. The price level in St. Petersburg and Germany increased during the fourth quarter, but remained unchanged in Estonia. In Latvia and Lithuania, housing prices declined during the period. NCC assesses that the demand for housing units in 2011 will remain favorable with an unchanged price level in the principal markets.
In the leasing market for commercial properties, vacancy rates and rents have stabilized. Rent levels have bottomed out but recovery will be slow. The number of property transactions is increasing from a low level. Investors' yield requirements declined somewhat during 2010 in the Nordic market.

Orders received were somewhat lower year-on-year, amounting to SEK 14,154 M (14,352). NCC Construction Norway's orders received were considerably lower than the very high orders received in the year-earlier period. NCC Housing started more projects in late 2010, compared with the year-earlier period. Changes in exchange rates had an adverse impact of SEK 675 M on orders received compared with the year-earlier period.
Orders received for proprietary housing projects totaled SEK 2,947 M (1,544) and orders received for proprietary property projects amounted to SEK 413 M (228).
The order backlog was SEK 40,426 M (35,951) on December 31, of which orders for proprietary housing projects accounted for SEK 8,492 M (4,373) and orders for proprietary property projects for SEK 1,632 M (336).
During the fourth quarter, 1,195 (571) proprietary housing units were started and 800 (922) were sold. In addition, 282 (352) housing starts were sold to investors. Compared with the year-earlier period, the startup rate was increased to satisfy demand in the housing market. Sales were high considering the number of housing units that NCC had for sale. The number of completed unsold housing units declined during the fourth quarter to 97 (391) at year-end. On September 30, 2010, the number of completed unsold housing units totaled 146.
NCC Property Development started 9 (2) projects during the fourth quarter, of which five were in Denmark, two in Sweden and two in Finland. At the end of the quarter, NCC had 19 completed and ongoing property projects, of which five projects had been sold but not yet recognized in profit. Costs incurred in all projects initiated by NCC Property Development totaled SEK 1.2 billion (0.9), corresponding to 39 (74) percent of the total project costs of SEK 3.0 billion (1.2). The leasing rate declined during the fourth quarter, since new projects with lower leasing rates were started. At year-end, the leasing rate was 49 (65) percent. On September 30, the leasing rate for projects amounted to 59 percent.
Orders received amounted to SEK 54,942 M (46,475). The increase was attributable to a rise in housing and property project starts in NCC Housing and NCC Property Development, as well as improved orders received for the Construction units in Sweden, Denmark and Finland. Changes in exchange rates reduced orders received by SEK 2,056 M compared with the preceding year.
Orders received for proprietary housing projects totaled SEK 8,955 M (3,429). During the year, 3,489 (1,138) proprietary housing units were started and 2,727 (3,275) were sold. Orders received for proprietary property projects amounted to SEK 2,258 M (422). Changes in exchange rates had an adverse impact of SEK 2,111 M on the order backlog.

Net sales declined 4 percent compared with the year-earlier period, amounting to SEK 15,338 M (15,944). The lower volume was primarily due to NCC Housing completing and transferring fewer projects to customers, and completing fewer sales of land than in 2009. NCC Property Development's sales increased, since more properties were transferred to customers. The Construction units also experienced a rise in sales as a result of improved orders received earlier in the year. Changes in exchange rates had an adverse impact of SEK 622 M on sales compared with the year-earlier period.
Net sales were down 12 percent to SEK 49,420 M (56,005). The decline was primarily due to fewer completed and transferred projects in NCC Housing and NCC Property Development, a reduction in orders received for the Construction units in 2009 and a cold winter, which resulted in delays and a lower level of activity. The Construction units began the year with strong orders received, which gradually generated increased sales, contrary to the declining trend in 2009. Changes in exchange rates reduced sales by SEK 1,942 M compared with the year-earlier period.
Operating profit for the fourth quarter of 2010 amounted to SEK 848 M (767), corresponding to an operating margin of 5.5 (4.8) percent. The increase derived primarily from the Construction units in Sweden and Denmark, and from NCC Roads exceeding the earnings reported in the year-earlier period. Changes in exchange rates had an adverse impact of SEK 25 M on operating profit compared with the year-earlier period.
NCC Construction Sweden's earnings during the quarter were higher than in the year-earlier period. The improvement was attributable to increased sales, favorable project completion and raised earnings forecasts in major projects that are nearing completion. NCC Construction Denmark's quarterly earnings were also higher year-on-year, mainly as a result of favorable project completion. NCC Construction Finland reported higher sales, although earnings were in line with those in the year-earlier period. While NCC Construction Norway's sales increased, earnings were lower than in the year-earlier period.
NCC Roads' earnings exceeded those in the year-earlier period as a result of higher volumes, primarily for asphalt but also for aggregates. A healthy order status and favorable weather conditions in October and part of November offset the effects of the early winter.
NCC Housing's earnings were lower than in the year-earlier quarter, due to fewer housing units being completed and transferred to customers, although the operating margin improved to 4.0 (3.2) percent.
NCC Property Development's earnings were lower than in the year-earlier period, due to reduced earnings from previous sales.
"Other and eliminations" amounted to a loss of SEK 10 M (profit: 6). Provisions for inter-company gains amounted to SEK an expense of 36 M (expense: 23).
Profit after financial items amounted to SEK 801 M (664). Net financial items amounted to an expense of SEK 47 M, which, as a result of lower net indebtedness and interest rates, was an improvement of SEK 56 M on the year-earlier period.
Profit after tax for the period totaled SEK 590 M (480). The effective tax rate was 26 (28) percent.
Operating profit amounted to SEK 2,254 M (2,619). The lower year-on-year earnings were primarily due to decreased earnings from property sales in NCC Property Development. In 2009, impairments of land and completed housing units of SEK 192 M were charged against earnings, and in 2010, the impairment figure was SEK 32 M. Changes in exchange rates had an adverse impact of SEK 49 M on operating profit compared with the preceding year.
NCC Construction Sweden's earnings were down year-on-year, mainly because of lower sales. NCC Construction Denmark improved its profitability by lowering its costs. NCC Construction Finland's earnings declined compared with the preceding year, due to lower project margins. NCC Construction Norway's operating profit was somewhat higher year-on-year, primarily as a result of increased sales and lower costs.
NCC Roads' experienced a weak start of the year, although earnings recovered in the second half of the year as a result of higher volumes. Despite the increased sales, earnings were somewhat lower than in the preceding year.
NCC Housing improved its operating profit in 2010. Profitability was impacted by lower sales and low average margins from projects that were sold in 2009 but recognized in profit in 2010.
NCC Property Development's earnings were lower year-on-year due to decreased earnings from property sales. A major property project was transferred and recognized in profit in the third quarter of 2009.
"Other and eliminations" amounted to SEK 128 M (123). Reversal of inter-company gains amounted to SEK 22 M (140). The year 2010 included profit of SEK 57 M from the Polish highway project A2. The preceding year included competition-impeding damages of SEK 50 M in Sweden and profit of SEK 70 M concerning a project belonging to the phased-out business area NCC International Projects.
Profit after financial items amounted to SEK 2,008 M (2,105). Net financial items amounted to an expense of SEK 246 M (expense: 514). Lower net indebtedness and lower interest rates improved net financial items.
Profit after tax for the year totaled SEK 1,527 M (1,656). The effective tax rate for NCC was 24 (21) percent.
NCC Roads' operations and certain operations in NCC Construction units are impacted by seasonal variations due to the cold weather. This is normally the reason why the first and final quarters are weaker than the rest of the year. In 2010, the effect was greater than normal, in part due to the need to delay operations early in the year, and in part because of the harsh winter conditions that began already in November. For NCC Roads, a healthy order status and favorable weather conditions in October and part of November offset the effects of the early winter.
Cash flow from operating activities before changes in working capital totaled SEK 1,018 M (977). Cash flow from operating activities remained strong in the fourth quarter.
During the quarter, investments in proprietary projects increased capital requirements, although this was essentially covered by the cash flow from the sale of housing units and land. During the year-earlier period, extensive housing and property sales generated unusually strong cash flow.
Cash flow from investment activities amounted to a negative SEK 115 M (neg: 61).
Cash flow before financing amounted to SEK 1,207 M (2,869). Strong cash flow from operating activities, combined with investments in proprietary projects largely being covered by cash flow from sales of housing units and land, resulted in high cash flow before financing.
Cash flow from operating activities before changes in working capital totaled SEK 3,009 M (2,955). Cash flow from changes in working capital amounted to a negative SEK 586 M (positive: 3,485). Cash flow declined year-on-year essentially due to extensive housing and property sales in 2009. In 2010, cash flow from the sale of housing units and properties largely covered capital requirements that arose due to investments in land and project starts. Higher tied-up capital in accounts receivable was offset by improved cash flow from other current liabilities.
Cash flow from investment activities amounted to a negative SEK 489 M (neg: 481), which was mainly accounted for by investments in asphalt, aggregates and road service operations.
Cash flow before financing totaled SEK 1,934 M (5,960).
Cash flow from financing activities amounted to a negative SEK 1,504 M (neg: 5,549). Dividends had a negative impact of SEK 650 M (neg: 434) on cash flow.
Total cash and cash equivalents including short-term investments with a maturity exceeding three months amounted to SEK 3,454 M (2,603).

Net indebtedness (interest-bearing liabilities less cash and cash equivalents less interest-bearing receivables) on December 31 amounted to SEK 431 M (1,784); also refer to note 5, Specification of net indebtedness. On September 30, 2010, net indebtedness was SEK 1,610 M. The capital maturity period for interest-bearing liabilities, excluding loans in Finnish housing companies and Swedish tenant owner associations, was 44 (47) months at the end of the quarter. NCC's unutilized committed lines of credit on December 31 amounted to SEK 3.5 billion (4.3) with an average remaining maturity period of 28 (26) months.

This year-end report has been compiled pursuant to IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. It has been compiled in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and the interpretations of prevailing accounting standards by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC), as approved by the EU.
The year-end report has been prepared pursuant to 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.
During the full-year period, NCC did not conduct any transactions that were affected by the revised IFRS 3, Business Combinations, and IAS 27 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements
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 handed over 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.
