After a varied start to 2014, the trend for the second quarter was generally positive. Market conditions improved in several of NCC's markets. Orders received were favorable and our order backlog is at the highest level ever. Housing sales were strong and a high level of activity prevailed in our industrial and commercial property development businesses. NCC's profit after financial items rose to SEK 576 M (457) for the second quarter and amounted to SEK 336 M (181) for the first six months of the year.
Last year, the Norwegian operation had an adverse impact on earnings, but we can now see that the measures implemented have begun to generate results. Although earnings and margins improved in all Construction units for the quarter, there is more work to do. Orders received were at a high level, primarily in Sweden and Denmark. The order backlog in the construction operations grew by SEK 3.7 billion in the quarter.
There was a high level of activity in our industrial business during the quarter. The sales volumes of aggregates and asphalt rose compared with the year-earlier period. Results improved primarily due to higher earnings in the asphalt operations but also due to improved earnings from road services. Higher volumes and lower production costs were behind the improved results from the asphalt operations.
Strong housing sales facilitate continued housing starts. At the close of the quarter, we had 32 percent more housing units to be completed during 2015, compared with the corresponding date in the preceding year for completion during 2014. We have a total of 7,600 housing units under construction.
Our portfolio of commercial properties was reduced in 2013 following the sale and completion of several projects. We have now been focusing on replacing a number of these projects with new ones. During the second quarter, three projects were started and we now have 16 ongoing projects. A decision was also made to commence construction of Phase 2 of the Torsplan office project in Stockholm in the third quarter. We sold two projects during the quarter and one project after the end of the quarter.
Focusing on the right business in a difficult market generated results in 2013. Although we now see a better market, we need to continue focusing on operational efficiency, make the "right" deals and take the "right" risks. We must leverage the opportunities that arise, but we will only grow if this can be done profitably.
Peter Wågström, President and CEO Solna, July 18, 2014
Orders received were favorable and amounted to SEK 17,303 M (17,798). Orders received were higher in NCC's Construction units in Sweden and Denmark due to more housing and non-residential projects. Orders received were lower in NCC's Construction units in Norway and Finland, as well as in NCC Housing and NCC Roads. In the year-earlier period, NCC Construction Finland received an order for SEK 1 billion, with no such corresponding order this year. Changes in exchange rates had a positive impact of SEK 127 M on orders received compared with the yearearlier period. The Group's order backlog rose SEK 5,859 M to SEK 56,657 M, compared with the preceding quarter. Changes in exchange rates increased the order backlog by SEK 828 M during the quarter.
Net sales were in line with the year-earlier period and totaled SEK 13,479 M (13,535). Lower sales in NCC's Construction units in Sweden and Norway, as well as in NCC Property Development were offset by higher sales in the other business areas. Lower net sales were due to a lower opening order backlog in NCC Construction Sweden, and also because a large proportion of the major projects are in the preliminary production phases. Changes in exchange rates had a positive impact of SEK 112 M on sales compared with the year-earlier period.
NCC's operating profit was higher than the year-earlier period and totaled SEK 677 M (526). All business areas reported higher sales, with the exception of NCC Property Development. Earnings in NCC Construction Denmark increased due to higher production and results in NCC Construction Finland also improved on account of lower expenditure. Earnings in NCC Roads were positively impacted by higher margins in the asphalt and road service operations. Higher revenues from housing sales to private customers had a positive impact on earnings for NCC Housing. In the year-earlier period, impairment losses on a number of other building projects had a negative impact of SEK 150 M on NCC Construction Norway's earnings.
Cash flow from operating activities improved year-on-year to negative SEK 1,267 M (neg: 1,402). The improvement was due to better results, higher sales of housing projects, as well as less investment in property projects. Cash flow from other changes in working capital was lower compared with the year-earlier period due to the 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 June 30 amounted to SEK 8,760 M (9,722), refer also to Note 5, Specification of net indebtedness. At March 31, 2014, net indebtedness was SEK 6,572 M. The average maturity period for interest-bearing liabilities, excluding loans in Finnish housing companies and Swedish tenant-owner associations, as well as pension commitments according to IAS 19, was 33 (32) months at the end of the quarter. NCC's unutilized committed lines of credit at the end of the quarter amounted to SEK 4.0 billion (3.8), with an average remaining maturity of 29 (39) months.
Orders received amounted to SEK 30,527 M (29,474). The year-on-year increase was mainly attributable to improved orders received in NCC Construction Sweden, as well as in NCC Roads and NCC Housing. Changes in exchange rates increased orders received by SEK 18 M compared with the year-earlier period. The order backlog increased and amounted to SEK 56,657 M at the end of the period. Changes in exchange rates increased the order backlog by SEK 971 M.
Net sales amounted to SEK 23,311 M (23,620). The change was due to lower sales in NCC Construction Sweden and NCC Construction Norway. Changes in exchange rates had a positive impact of SEK 71 M on sales compared with the year-earlier period.
NCC's operating profit amounted to SEK 515 M (309). The improvement was primarily attributable to higher earnings in NCC Construction Norway, NCC Roads and NCC
Housing. At the same time, lower earnings from projects recognized in profit resulted in lower earnings for NCC Property Development. In the year-earlier period, earnings in NCC Construction Norway were negatively impacted by an impairment loss of SEK 199 M on a number of projects, while changed pension regulations had a positive impact of SEK 65 M. Net financial items amounted to an expense of SEK 178 M (neg: 128) deteriorated due to higher financial costs resulting from a higher interest-rate situation in Russia.
During the first half of the year, cash flow from operating activities improved year-on-year due to higher earnings, an increase in the sale of housing and property projects, as well as less investment in property projects. The interestfree financing was lower than in the preceding year.
Net indebtedness (interest-bearing liabilities less cash and cash equivalents less interest-bearing receivables) at June 30 amounted to SEK 8,760 M (9,722), refer also to Note 5, Specification of net indebtedness.

During the second quarter, the market in Sweden improved, primarily in housing and other buildings. In Denmark, growth is primarily in the metropolitan regions of Copenhagen and Aarhus. In Norway, infrastructure investments are generating an expanding civil-engineering market. The Finnish market is challenging. In general, NCC expects that the Nordic construction market will grow slightly in 2014 and the strongest trend is expected in the Norwegian and Swedish markets.
Orders received by all of NCC's Construction units totaled SEK 12,829 M (12,482). Orders received increased in the housing and other buildings segments, primarily in Sweden and Denmark. Orders received were slightly lower in Finland. Orders received in the civil-engineering segment were lower as a result of a decline in orders received in NCC Construction Norway. In the year-earlier period, an order for a major bridge project in Norway was secured for SEK 739 M. The total order backlog increased SEK 3,719 M to SEK 37,314 M during the quarter.
In total, sales for NCC's Construction units declined to SEK 9,485 M (9,931). Net sales were lower for NCC's Construction units in Sweden and Norway, while they were higher in Denmark and Finland. In Sweden, several new major projects are in the preliminary phases, entailing low net sales.
Operating profit for all of NCC's Construction units totaled SEK 277 M (103). The greatest earnings improvement was reported by NCC Construction Norway, which reported impairment losses of SEK 150 M on projects in the yearearlier period, which had a negative impact on earnings. Earnings in NCC Construction Denmark increased due to higher production, and results in NCC Construction Finland also improved due to lower expenditure.
Orders received for the Construction units increased yearon-year and totaled SEK 21,534 M (20,993). The increase was due to higher orders received in the Housing segment, primarily in Sweden and Denmark.
Sales in the Construction units totaled SEK 17,411 M (18,475). The change was primarily attributable to lower production in Sweden and Norway.
Operating profit totaled SEK 406 M (231). Margins improved in all Construction units. In the year-earlier period, earnings for NCC Construction Norway were negatively impacted by impairment losses of SEK 199 M on projects, and positively impacted by changed pension ordinance in the amount of SEK 65 M.

Demand for aggregates, asphalt and road services was higher year-on-year due to the mild winter, thus facilitating a high level of activity already at the beginning of the quarter. Demand for aggregates declined somewhat at the end of the quarter. Demand for asphalt rose year-on-year primarily in Sweden and Finland. A higher level of activity in the construction market forms the basis for higher demand for aggregates in 2014. The asphalt market also has the potential for growth in 2014. While demand in road services is stable, the market is characterized by intense competition.
Net sales were in line with the year-earlier period and totaled SEK 3,271 M (3,185). Although the volume of aggregates and asphalt sold was slightly higher year-onyear, sales were also impacted by lower prices for bitumen.
Earnings for the quarter were higher year-on-year and totaled SEK 255 M (230). The increase was due to higher earnings from the asphalt operations and improved earnings from road services. Higher volumes of asphalt, primarily in Sweden, and more efficient production generated higher earnings from the asphalt operations.
Capital employed increased seasonally to SEK 4.3 billion during the quarter due to a higher level of activity.
Sales increased to SEK 4,489 M (4,341) due to higher volumes. The mild winter resulted in higher volumes of aggregates and asphalt. Sales for road services were in line with the year-earlier period.
Earnings in the period improved year-on-year, primarily due to the trend in the first quarter. Higher sales of aggregates and asphalt, with better margins, had a positive impact. The operating loss was SEK 134 M (loss: 238).
Capital employed rose SEK 0.8 billion to SEK 4.3 billion compared with year-end 2013.

The market trend remained generally positive in NCC's housing markets. In Germany, prices and demand increased. Low interest rates and an improved labor market in Sweden resulted in healthy demand and an increase in prices. In Denmark, prices increased in Copenhagen and demand was supported by relocations to the city. The economies in Latvia and Estonia are growing and the housing market is recovering. The Russian economy weakened and there is concern about how developments in the Ukraine will impact the Russian economy, however, demand in the housing market in St. Petersburg is favorable. In Finland, households are cautious in terms of investments due to a low increase in real wages and higher unemployment. Although the Norwegian economy is recovering from a decline in 2013 and early 2014, the housing market remains cautious.
A total of 1,175 (929) housing units were sold to private customers and 294 (319) to the investor market. Housing sales to private customers increased primarily in St. Petersburg, Sweden and Finland. Construction on the majority of the new housing units also started in these markets. Construction started on a total of 1,274 (1,461) housing units for private customers and 294 (319) housing units for the investor market. Construction starts for the investor market declined in Finland, while there were more starts in Germany and Sweden.
Net sales were higher than in the year-earlier period due to an increase in the number of housing units delivered to private customers and recognized in profit. A total of 757 (544) housing units for private customers and 40 (243) housing units for the investor market were recognized in profit during the quarter. The average price per housing unit was higher than in the year-earlier period, mainly due to higher volumes in Denmark.
Operating profit amounted to SEK 156 M (45). NCC Housing's earnings were higher year-on-year, mainly due to higher sales volumes and margins from the sale of housing units to private customers, but also due to better results from the sale of land. Restructuring costs in Sweden totaling SEK 20 M had an impact on results in the year-earlier period.
Capital employed rose SEK 0.3 billion to SEK 11.2 billion, primarily due to more housing units in production.
A total of 2,090 (1,692) housing units were sold to private customers and 432 (399) to the investor market. Housing sales to private customers rose the most in St. Petersburg, but also in Sweden, the Baltic countries and Denmark, while the sale in Germany was on par with the year-earlier period. Sales declined in Finland and Norway. During the first half of the year, construction started on a total of 2,353 (1,936) housing units for private customers and 405 (399) housing units for the investor market. Higher sales in Sweden and St. Petersburg facilitated an increase in housing starts for private customers.
Net sales were higher than in the year-earlier period due to an increase in the number of housing units that were delivered to private customers and recognized in profit. During the period, 1,386 (987) housing units for private customers and 178 (392) housing units for the investor market were recognized in profit.
Operating profit amounted to SEK 202 M (107). Earnings were higher year-on-year mainly due to higher sales volumes and margins from the sale of housing units for private customers but also due to better results from the sale of land. Restructuring costs in Sweden totaling SEK 20 M had an impact on results in the year-earlier period.
Capital employed totaled SEK 11.2 billion, an increase of SEK 1.3 billion compared with the year-end 2013, resulting from land acquisition and more housing units in production.

The diagram shows the estimated completion schedule for housing units to private customers and units to the investor market that have not yet been recognized in profit. The curve shows the proportion of sold units. Sold units are recognized in profit at the time of delivery.
Conditions in the Nordic property market are favorable, with the exception of Finland. Vacancies in central parts of Oslo and Stockholm are low, while they are somewhat higher in Copenhagen and Helsinki, particularly outside the central areas. Demand in the leasing market is good, except for Finland where demand in the office rental market is weaker. Demand for properties outside the inner city is increasing in Sweden. NCC expects a generally positive trend in the property market in 2014.
During the quarter, one project sale was recognized in profit, the Lielathi Center commercial project in Finland. Leases were signed for 33,200 square meters (46,900) during the period.
Three new projects were started during the quarter: the CH Vallensbaek 3 office project in Denmark, the Alberga D office project in Finland, and the SCA building in Sweden. A decision was also made to commence construction on Phase 2 of the Torsplan office and commercial project in Stockholm in the third quarter.
Two sales completed during the quarter will be recognized in profit in future quarters: The SCA office building project and the Ullevi Park 4 project in Sweden. For information on future profit recognition of projects, refer to the table on the following page. After the end of the quarter, the CH Vallensbaek 3 project was sold and the preliminary date of occupancy is in the second quarter of 2015.
At the end of the quarter, 16 (24) projects were either ongoing or completed but not yet recognized in profit. The costs incurred in all projects totaled SEK 3.0 billion (4.1), corresponding to a completion rate of 58 (57) percent. The leasing rate was 73 (72) percent. Operating net for the quarter amounted to SEK 15 M (11).
Net sales were lower year-on-year and the project that was recognized in profit in Finland accounted for the largest portion of sales. One project was recognized in profit in the year-earlier period.
Operating profit was SEK 40 M (152). During the quarter, one (one) project was recognized in profit in Finland, with a low margin resulting from the weak market. A small land sale, as well as earnings from previous sales also contributed to the results. One office project in central Gothenburg was recognized in profit in the year-earlier period.
During the quarter, capital employed increased SEK 0.5 billion to SEK 4.1 billion, mainly due to increased production in ongoing projects.
A total of five (three) projects were recognized in profit: four in Finland and one in Denmark. Leases were signed for 51,100 square meters (68,300) during the period.
Net sales were in line with the year-earlier period and totaled SEK 1,317 M (1,264). Most of the net sales in the period derived from the projects recognized in profit during the first quarter.
Operating profit was lower than in the year-earlier period and amounted to SEK 90 M (230). Five projects were recognized in profit during the period. Three projects were recognized in profit in the year-earlier period, with better margins. Earnings from previous sales, and land sale also contributed to the results. Operating net for the period amounted to SEK 33 M (24).
Capital employed rose SEK 0.1 billion to SEK 4.1 billion.

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. Dividend to shareholders will be reported in connection with the Annual General Meeting's resolution and entered as a liability until payment.
From January 1, 2014, IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements has applied, which is a new standard for recognition of joint ventures and joint operations. The new standard entails that joint ventures will be recognized according to the equity method instead of the previous proportional method. However, the proportional method will continue to be applied for joint operations. Since the new standard is expected to have a marginal impact on NCC's financial statements, NCC will not be restating comparative figures for 2013. Other new standards or amended standards applied from January 1, 2014, include IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements, IFRS 12, Disclosures of Interest in Other Entities, amended IAS 27 Separate Financial Statements, amended IAS 28 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures, amended IAS 32 Financial Instruments: Classification, amended IAS 36 Impairment Losses, as well as amended IAS 39 Financial Instruments. These amendments have no or minor impact on NCC's financial statements.
In other respects, the interim report has been prepared pursuant to the same accounting policies and methods of calculation as the 2013 Annual Report (Note 1, pages 60- 67).

In the tables below, disclosures are made concerning how fair value was determined for the financial instruments that are continuously measured at fair value in NCC's balance sheet. When determining fair value, assets were divided into the following 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 used for hedging purposes. Fair-value measurement for currencyforward 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. NCC has no financial instruments in level 3.

The Parent Company has prepared 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.
The interim report for the Parent Company has been prepared in accordance with the same accounting policies and methods of calculation as the 2013 Annual Report (Note 1, pages 60-67).
An account of the risks to which NCC may be exposed is presented in the 2013 Annual Report (pages 46-48). This description remains relevant.
Significant risks and uncertainties for the Parent Company are identical to those of the Group.
The companies related to the Parent Company are the Nordstjernan Group, the Axel Johnson Group, the FastPartner 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 April-June quarter amounted to SEK 5 M (4) and purchases to SEK 99 M (104). For the January-June interim period, sales amounted to SEK 6 M (6) and purchases to SEK 191 M (225). The transactions were conducted on normal market terms.
NCC AB holds 592,500 Series B treasury shares to meet its obligations pursuant to LTI 2012 and LTI 2013.
NCC's Annual General Meeting on April 2, 2014 resolved to pay a dividend of SEK 12.00 (10.00) per share to shareholders for the 2013 fiscal year, distributed in two payments. SEK 6.00 was paid to shareholders on April 10, 2014 and SEK 6.00 is to be paid on October 31, 2014, with October 28, 2014 as the record date. This corresponds to a total dividend payment of SEK 1,294 M, calculated on the number of shares outstanding on June 30, 2014.

NCC's vision is to renew our industry and provide superior sustainable solutions.
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 needsbased, cost-effective and high-quality solutions that generate added value for all of NCC's stakeholders and contribute to sustainable social development.
NCC's overriding objective is to create value for its customers and shareholders. NCC aims to be a leading player in the markets in which it is active, to offer sustainable solutions and to be the customer's first choice.
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.

In its capacity as issuer, NCC AB is releasing the information in this interim report pursuant to Chapter 17 of the Swedish Securities Market Act (2007:528). The information was distributed to the media for publication on Friday July 18, at 8:00 a.m.
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 and maintenance 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).
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 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.
