NCC's profit after financial items for the third quarter was on a par with the year-earlier period. Net sales were lower, but operating profit and the operating margin improved. Our orders received were on a par with the year-earlier period.
During the third quarter, we achieved one of our targets for the strategy period from 2012– 2015 of having at least 7,000 housing units under construction. Healthy housing sales in 2013 made it possible to commence more housing starts and achieve 7,368 units in ongoing production.
IMPROVED EARNINGS FOR INDUSTRIAL OPERATIONS Our asphalt operations performed well in the third quarter. In terms of volume, the operations were on a par with the year-earlier period, but higher efficiency and a better product mix resulted in significantly improved earnings. For aggregates, higher prices offset lower volumes, while road services had a negative impact on earnings.
SLOW RECOVERY IN CONSTRUCTION OPERATIONS Orders received during the year have not been able to offset a lower opening order backlog. Net sales were lower year-on-year again in the third quarter and, with a lower operating margin in Sweden, Norway and Finland, earnings declined. Our Danish construction operations continued to deliver a high operating margin. We have completed the review of our organization in Norway. A number of new senior executives are in place and we have taken actions to further strengthen systems and processes.
Housing sales were higher year-on-year, which meant that we could commence more housing starts in the third quarter. Net sales were on a par with the year-earlier period while earnings weakened, primarily due to higher development costs and impairment of non-priority land in Denmark. We also incurred costs for initiating the sale and development of rental units in Sweden; for example, by utilizing more valuable land intended for tenant-owner apartments.
HEALTHY SALES IN COMMERCIAL PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT
No property projects were recognized in profit in the quarter, although the completion of three property sales will be recognized in profit at a later date. Leasing of premises was lower for the quarter compared with the year-earlier period, but was highly favorable for 2013 as a whole.
IMPROVED MARKET OUTLOOK FOR 2014 Demand in the Nordic construction market weakened during the first six months of the year, but subsequently recovered slightly, and we expect construction investments for full-year 2013 to track 2012 or to rise slightly. We believe that GDP for the Nordic region will increase for 2014, that this increase will have a positive effect and that the Nordic construction market will grow.
Peter Wågström, President and CEO Solna, October 25, 2013
Orders received were in line with the year-earlier period and totaled SEK 13,143 M (13,160). Orders received for civil engineering projects were higher year-on-year. Orders registered in the quarter include Highway 4 Gran-Jaren totaling SEK 1.2 billion. NCC Housing contributed positively to orders received with several starts of housing projects for private customers in Denmark and Germany. For NCC Roads, orders received were higher, mainly in the asphalt operations. Changes in exchange rates increased orders received by SEK 48 M compared with the year-earlier period. The Group's order backlog declined SEK 1,014 M compared with the preceding quarter to SEK 51,065 M. Changes in exchange rates reduced the order backlog by SEK 690 M during the quarter.
Net sales declined year-on-year and totaled SEK 13,129 M (13,765). Lower sales were reported primarily by NCC Construction Sweden and NCC Property Development. Changes in exchange rates reduced sales by SEK 40 M compared with the year-earlier period.
NCC's operating profit was slightly higher than in the yearearlier period at SEK 823 M (814). Earnings for NCC Roads improved due in part to slightly higher volumes but primarily to higher margins in the asphalt operations. NCC Property Development made a positive contribution to earnings. Profit for the Construction units and Housing was lower.
Due to capital tied up in housing and property projects, cash flow from operating activities in the quarter remained negative and amounted to a negative SEK 43 M (neg: 245). Sales of housing and property projects increased year-onyear, while investments fell. Cash flow from other changes in working capital was lower compared with year-earlier period due to a lower percentage of interest-free financing.
NCC Roads' operations and certain operations in NCC's Construction units are impacted by seasonal variations due to cold weather. The first quarter is normally weaker than the rest of the year.
Net indebtedness (interest-bearing liabilities less cash and cash equivalents less interest-bearing receivables) at September 30 amounted to SEK 9,893 M (9,430) (refer also to Note 5, Specification of net indebtedness). At June 30, 2013, net indebtedness was SEK 9,722 M. The average maturity period for interest-bearing liabilities, excluding loans in Finnish housing companies and Swedish tenantowner associations, as well as pension commitments according to IAS 19, was 36 (46) months at the end of the quarter. NCC's unutilized committed lines of credit at the end of the quarter amounted to SEK 3.8 billion (3.7), with an average remaining maturity of 32 (33) months (refer also to Note 5, Specification of net indebtedness).
Orders received amounted to SEK 42,617 M (40,336). The year-on-year rise was mainly attributable to an increase in the number of starts for housing property projects. Changes in exchange rates reduced orders received by SEK 616 M compared with the year-earlier period. The order backlog has increased since year-end and was SEK 51,065 M at the end of the period. Changes in exchange rates reduced the order backlog by SEK 801 M.
Net sales totaled SEK 36,749 M (38,157). The change was primarily due to lower sales in NCC Construction Sweden. Changes in exchange rates reduced sales by SEK 476 M year-on-year.
NCC's operating profit amounted to SEK 1,132 M (1,187). The higher earnings for NCC Property Development offset
the lower earnings in NCC Construction Norway and NCC Housing. Net financial items declined due to higher average net indebtedness to an expense of SEK 204 M (expense: 167). The effective tax rate was 18 (23) percent.
Cash flow from operating activities in the quarter was negative at SEK 1,992 M (neg: 3,274) due to capital tied up in housing and property projects. However, cash flow from operating activities improved year-on-year as a result of an increase in interest-free funding and to higher sales and lower investments in housing projects.
Net indebtedness (interest-bearing liabilities less cash and cash equivalents less interest-bearing receivables) at September 30 amounted to SEK 9,893 M (9,430) (refer also to Note 5, Specification of net indebtedness).

Demand in the Nordic construction market declined in the first six months of the year, but slow recovery began at the end of the second quarter. NCC expects continued recovery in the fourth quarter and that construction investments for 2013 will be in line with 2012 or slightly higher. For 2014, NCC expects the Nordic construction market to grow slightly. The strongest performance is expected in the Norwegian and Swedish markets, while the trend in Finland, where there are concerns about the GDP trend, will be weaker.
Orders received by all construction units totaled SEK 7,726 M (8,442). Orders received by NCC Construction Sweden increased, as a result of improved orders in civil engineering operations and more housing projects. Orders registered in the quarter included Highway 4 Gran-Jaren in Norway, in a total amount of SEK 1.2 billion. This is a partnership project between NCC Construction in Norway and Sweden. Orders received by NCC Construction in Denmark, Finland and Norway declined. The total order backlog fell SEK 1,829 M during the quarter to SEK 33,823 M. Changes in exchange rates reduced the order backlog in the quarter by SEK 455 M.
Net sales increased for NCC Construction Norway, but were somewhat lower for NCC Construction in Sweden, Denmark and Finland. In total, sales for NCC's Construction units declined to SEK 9,100 M (9,534).
Earnings for Norway and Denmark were on a par with the year-earlier period. Lower volumes in Sweden led to reduced earnings and the margin in Finland was lower. In total, operating profit amounted to SEK 313 M (363) for the construction units.
Orders received for the construction units increased yearon-year to SEK 28,719 M (28,236). Orders received by NCC Construction Sweden were higher as a result of an improvement in orders secured, primarily in civil engineering operations. A major project in the other buildings segment in NCC Construction Denmark also contributed to the increase. The order backlog for NCC Construction Norway declined, due to fewer civilengineering projects.
Sales in NCC's Construction units totaled SEK 27,575 M (28,708). The change was primarily attributable to lower sales in NCC Construction Sweden, while sales in NCC Construction Norway were higher.
Operating profit totaled SEK 544 M (698). The lower profit was mainly due to lower earnings in NCC Construction Norway, where an impairment loss of SEK 199 M on a project recognized earlier in the year negatively impacted earnings, while changed pension regulations had a positive impact of SEK 65 M.

NCC CONSTRUCTION FINLAND
Demand for asphalt and aggregates increased during the third quarter. NCC expects demand for asphalt for fullyear 2013 to be in line with 2012, while demand for aggregates is expected to be lower. For 2014, NCC believes that a general increase in construction, but primarily growth in housing construction, will lead to higher demand for aggregates. The asphalt market also has conditions for growth in 2014.
Sales increased to SEK 4,242 M (4,056) as a result of higher volumes in road services and asphalt.
Earnings for the quarter were higher year-on-year at SEK 538 M (442). The asphalt operations reported solid performance. High volumes and enhanced efficiency resulted in a high margin for asphalt operations. All in all, aggregates displayed improved year-on-year performance, although the market was weak in southwestern Sweden and Finland. The road services operations reported a loss for the quarter due to a number of problem projects in Sweden and Finland.
Capital employed remained unchanged for the quarter at SEK 3.8 billion.
Due to lower volumes, sales declined to SEK 8,583 M (8,858). The late start to the season caused by the long and cold winter resulted in lower volumes of aggregates and asphalt. Sales for road services increased compared with the year-earlier period.
Earnings in the period declined to SEK 300 M (297), on a par with the year-earlier period, primarily due to the strong recovery in the asphalt operations during the third quarter, which offset the weak trend in the first quarter. Earnings for aggregates declined, primarily due to lower volumes. A loss in the road service operations was charged to earnings.
Capital employed rose by SEK 0.8 billion compared with the year-end to SEK 3.8 billion.

1) Sold volume
The most favorable market conditions currently exist in Germany and St. Petersburg. A slow recovery is under way in Denmark and the Baltic countries. Prices rose slightly in Sweden, but market conditions in Sweden and Finland were characterized by some caution and purchasing decisions are not being made until construction approaches completion. Prices have leveled out in Norway. NCC expects stable demand in all markets in 2014, except in Finland, which is more uncertain. Price levels are expected to remain essentially unchanged.
HOUSING SALES AND CONSTRUCTION STARTS A total of 943 (709) housing units were sold to private customers and 449 (460) to the investor market. Housing sales to private customers rose, primarily in Germany, St. Petersburg and Denmark. During the quarter, construction started on a total of 700 (501) housing units for private customers and 449 (350) housing units for the investor market. Robust sales facilitated a higher number of housing starts in Germany and St. Petersburg. The strategic target of more than 7,000 housing units in production was achieved during the quarter.
Net sales were slightly lower than in the year-earlier period mainly because fewer housing units were handed over to private customers and recognized in profit. A total of 510 (522) housing units for private customers and 0 (55) housing units for the investor market were recognized in profit.
Operating profit amounted to SEK 15 M (77). Earnings at NCC Housing were lower year-on-year mainly due to higher development costs and impairment of non-priority land in Denmark of 22 M. Results from sales of rental units in Sweden were also charged to earnings. Sales volumes and margins to private customers remained at a healthy level.
Capital employed fell by SEK 0.1 billion during the quarter to SEK 10.5 billion.
A total of 2,635 (2,020) housing units were sold to private customers and 848 (744) to the investor market. Housing sales to private customers increased in all markets except Norway and Finland. During the year, construction started on 2,636 (1,728) housing units for private customers and 848 (792) housing units for the investor market. St. Petersburg and Germany accounted for a large part of the increase in housing starts for private customers.
Net sales were higher year-on-year mainly due to increased revenues from housing sales to investors and land sales. During the period, 1,497 (1,458) housing units for private customers and 392 (315) housing units for the investor market were recognized in profit. A relatively large number of housing units is scheduled for completion in the next quarter; see the diagram on the next page.
Profit totaled SEK 122 M (262). The margin in sales for private customers improved year-on-year. The profit decline was mainly due to losses from the sale of rental units and land, impairment of land, restructuring costs in Sweden and higher expenses caused by increased project volumes.
Capital employed totaled SEK 10.5 billion, up SEK 0.6 billion compared with year-end, primarily due to a higher number of ongoing housing units.

The property market has been characterized by low transaction volumes in 2013. Demand is for modern and "green" properties with stable tenants in prime locations. Demand in the leasing market is favorable and vacancies are stable, except in Finland where demand in the office rental market is weaker. NCC believes that the expected increase in GDP will have a positive effect on the Nordic property market in 2014.
Three sales completed during the quarter will be recognized in profit in future quarters: the Birsta retail center Phase 1 in Sweden, the Torsplan office and retail building in Sweden and Gladsaxe Company House project in Denmark. Construction of Gladsaxe also began during the quarter. For information on future profit recognition of projects, refer to the table on the following page. At the end of the quarter, 25 (27) projects were either ongoing or completed but yet to be recognized in profit. Eight of these have been sold. The costs incurred in all projects totaled SEK 4.8 billion (3.2), corresponding to a completion rate of 62 (51) percent. During the quarter, leasing amounted to 15,900 (26,400) square meters. The leasing rate was 72 (62) percent.
Net sales declined year-on-year. No (one) project was recognized in profit.
Operating profit was higher than in the year-earlier period and amounted to SEK 8 M (loss: 27). Earnings from sales of land and earnings from earlier sales contributed to the results.

Operating net amounted to SEK 33 M (5).
During the quarter, capital employed increased SEK 0.5 billion to SEK 6.1 billion, mainly due to increased production in ongoing projects.
A total of three (four) project sales were recognized in profit: one in Finland, one in Denmark and one in Sweden.

This interim report has been compiled pursuant to IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The interim report has been prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and the interpretations of prevailing accounting standards issued by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC), as approved by the EU. Changes have occurred in the reporting of employee benefits, for which the revised IAS 19 has been applied since January 1, 2013. Comparative figures for 2012 have been recalculated. In brief, the amendment of IAS 19 meant that the opportunity to utilize the corridor method has been discontinued, entailing that actuarial gains and losses arising must be recognized directly against Other comprehensive income
in the period they arise. Furthermore, the return on plan assets must be calculated using the same rate as the discount rate for the pension commitment. The interestrate component in the pension commitment and the anticipated return on plan assets is now recognized in net financial items. For the effects of the new accounting policies, refer to the pro forma report on NCC's website. Certain changes also occurred in the presentation of Other comprehensive income.
In other respects, the interim report has been prepared pursuant to the same accounting policies and methods of calculation as the 2012 Annual Report (Note 1, pages 60-67).

2) The quarter includes among others NCC's head office, results from small subsidiaries and associated companies and remaining parts of NCC International Projects, totalling an expense of SEK 13 M (expense: 26). Furthermore elimination of internal profits are included, an expense of SEK 23 M (expense: 37) and other Group adjustments, mainly consisting of differences of accounting policy between the segments and the Group (including pensions), an expense of SEK 15 M (income: 23).
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 is in accordance with prices quoted on an active market for the same instruments. Derivatives in level 2 comprise currency-forward contracts, cross-currency swaps and interest-rate swaps for both retail and hedging purposes. Fair-value measurement for currency-forward contracts and cross-currency swaps is based on published forward rates in an active market. The measurement of interest-rate swaps is based on forward interest rates prepared based on observable yield curves. The discount has no significant impact on the measurement of derivatives in level 2. NCC has no financial instruments in level 3.

Peter Wågström President and CEO
We have reviewed the condensed interim financial information for NCC AB for the period January 1 – September 30, 2013. The Board of Directors and the President are responsible for preparing and presenting this interim report in accordance with IAS 34 and the Annual Accounts Act. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on this interim report based on our review.
We have 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 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 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, in all material respects, the accompanying interim report has not been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 and the Annual Accounts Act for the Group, and in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act for the Parent Company.

NCC aims to generate a healthy return to shareholders under financial stability. The return on equity after tax shall amount to 20 percent. The level for the return target is based on the margins that the various parts of the Group are expected to generate on a sustainable basis, and on capital requirements in relation to the prevailing business focus.
To ensure that the return target is not reached by taking financial risks, net indebtedness, defined as interestbearing liabilities less cash and cash equivalents and
interest-bearing receivables, must never exceed 1.5 times shareholders' equity during any given quarter.
NCC's dividend policy is to distribute at least half of aftertax profit for the year to the shareholders. The aim of the policy is to generate a healthy return for NCC's shareholders and to provide NCC with the potential to invest in its operations and thus ensure that future growth can be created while maintaining financial stability.
NCC conducts integrated construction and development operations in the Nordic region, Germany, Estonia, Latvia and St. Petersburg. The company has three businesses: industrial, construction and civil engineering, as well as development. These businesses generate both operational and financial synergies. The company's operations are organized in seven business areas.
NCC aims to achieve profitable growth and be a leading player in the markets in which it is active. Being a leading player entails being among the top three companies in the industry in terms of profitability and volume. Three markets and areas are prioritized: growth in Norway in all business areas, establishing a presence in the civil engineering market in Finland and expansion of the housing development business in all markets. Growth targets have been established for NCC's various operations during the strategy period.

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 yield required by purchasers in connection with acquisitions of property and housing projects. Operating revenue less operating expenses (=operating net) 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).
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-ofcompletion 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 rewards 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.
