The start of the year has been varied. On one hand, there were positive market signals, an increase in orders received, higher sales of aggregates and asphalt and good housing sales. On the other, I am not satisfied with the margin. Although earnings improved, there is more to do. NCC reported a loss of SEK 239 M (loss: 276) after financial items.
Orders received in the construction operations increased slightly compared with the year-earlier period and the Swedish operation, which reported significantly higher orders received, was particularly gratifying. Since the Swedish operation had a lower order backlog entering the year, sales in Sweden and in total for our entire construction operations were lower. Earnings and margins for the entire construction operations matched the yearearlier period.
Although activity in our industrial business are low during the first quarter of the year, the mild weather conditions meant that the season was able to commence earlier than normal and volumes of aggregates and asphalt sold increased, while demand for snow clearing declined. Higher sales volumes and higher prices for aggregates improved profit for the period.
The market trend was positive in most of NCC's housing markets and our housing sales were better than in the year-earlier period. Sales increased mostly in St. Petersburg and Sweden and remained strong in Germany. Thanks to healthy sales, considerably more housing units were started in the quarter. Earnings declined year-on-year due to lower margins in housing sales to the investor market, and higher sales and administrative costs due to a larger organization.
Sales rose in our property development operations but earnings were lower due to low margins in projects recognized in profit. During the quarter, four property development projects were completed and charged against profit. We now have 14 projects in our project portfolio compared with 22 a year earlier. During the quarter, we started one office project in Denmark and focus in the future will be on starting more projects primarily in Sweden.
Our strategy up to 2015 with the overriding objective of profitable growth stands firm. We are now focusing on improved profitability in the Swedish, Norwegian and Finnish construction operations. During the quarter, we increased our housing development business and are now in line with our objective of at least 7,000 housing units in ongoing production.
We see positive market signals in both the housing and property market and the construction and civilengineering market. The global financial recovery continues, although there are threatening clouds, such as the situation in the Ukraine.
Peter Wågström, President and CEO Solna, April 29, 2014
Orders received amounted to SEK 13,223 M (11,675). Orders received were favorable for NCC Construction Sweden, mainly in the housing segment. Orders received in NCC Roads were better than in the year-earlier period, thanks to more road services contracts in Norway and Sweden. More housing starts led to higher orders received for NCC Housing. Changes in exchange rates had a negative impact of SEK 82 M on orders received compared with the year-earlier period. The Group's order backlog rose SEK 3,161 M to SEK 50,798 M, compared with the preceding quarter. Changes in exchange rates had a positive impact of SEK 144 M on the order backlog during the quarter.
Net sales totaled SEK 9,832 M (10,084). The decline was due to lower production in NCC's Construction units in Sweden, Norway and Finland. At the same time, net sales were higher in NCC Property Development because of more projects being recognized in profit. Sales in NCC Construction Denmark were higher because of high production. Changes in exchange rates had a negative impact of SEK 34 M on sales compared with the yearearlier period.
NCC's operating loss was SEK 162 M (loss: 217). The largest improvement was reported in NCC Roads, which sold more aggregates and asphalt. Earnings were lower in NCC Property Development due to weak margins in projects recognized in profit. Earnings for NCC's Construction units were on par with the year-earlier period. Net financial items amounted to an expense of SEK 77 (expense: 59). Lower financial income and somewhat higher credit margin had an adverse effect on net financial items.
Cash flow from operating activities was in line with the year-earlier period. More start-ups and continued production in ongoing housing units increased investments in housing projects compared with the yearearlier period. During the quarter, capital tied-up in accounts receivable declined seasonally. Adjustments for non-cash items correspond essentially to exchange-rate differences, except for depreciation and amortization.
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, which was also the case in 2014.
Net indebtedness (interest-bearing liabilities less cash and cash equivalents less interest-bearing receivables) at March 31 amounted to SEK 6,572 M (7,250); refer also to Note 5, Specification of net indebtedness. 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 35 (40) months at the end of the quarter. NCC's unutilized committed lines of credit at the end of the quarter amounted to SEK 3.9 billion (3.7), with an average remaining maturity of 30 (40) months; refer also to Note 5, Specification of net indebtedness.

The construction market in Sweden improves and, in 2014, housing is expected to account for the largest increase. The Other buildings segment and civil engineering are also expected to expand slightly. Positive factors include the prevailing low interest-rate scenario, improved household finances and an expanding monetary policy. The Norwegian construction market is also expected to develop favorably in 2014 with infrastructure investments contributing to an expanding civil-engineering market. In Denmark, growth is primarily expected in the metropolitan regions of Copenhagen and Aarhus in the housing and Other buildings segments. The Finnish economy is struggling with reduced competitiveness and structural problems in IT, telecom and forest industries, as well as higher unemployment. In general, NCC expects that the Nordic construction market will grow slightly in 2014 and the strongest development is expected in the Norwegian and Swedish markets.
Orders received by all construction units totaled SEK 8,705 M (8,511). Orders received were higher for NCC Construction Sweden, mainly in the housing segment. Orders received were also higher in NCC Construction Finland, but primarily due to an improvement in orders received in the other buildings segment in the Helsinki region.
Orders received were lower for NCC Construction Denmark. An order was received in the year-earlier period concerning the major Carlsberg Byen project (SEK 1.5 billion). The total order backlog increased SEK 942 M, with NCC Construction Sweden accounting for most of the increase, and amounted to SEK 33,595 M. Changes in exchange rates increased the order backlog by SEK 158 M during the quarter.
Sales for all NCC's Construction units totaled SEK 7,926 M (8,544). Net sales were lower primarily for NCC Construction Sweden, but also for NCC Construction units in Norway and Finland. At the same time, net sales were higher for NCC Construction in Denmark.
Operating profit for all NCC's Construction units totaled SEK 129 M (128). Earnings in NCC Construction Denmark rose due to increased production. Earnings in NCC Construction Finland increased through higher margins on projects. However, lower production resulted in a decline in earnings for NCC Construction Sweden, compared with the year-earlier period. Earnings for NCC Construction Norway were lower, due mainly to lower volume. Earnings in the year-earlier period in Norway were impacted by a changed pension ordinance (plus SEK 65 M) and larger project impairment losses (minus SEK 49).

The mild winter resulted in higher demand for aggregates and asphalt, while snow clearing in road services declined. Demand for aggregates increased in all Nordic markets and asphalt sales rose primarily in southern Sweden and Denmark. The positive market trend during the first quarter, combined with an increase in construction is generating conditions for higher demand for aggregates in 2014. The asphalt market also has prerequisites for growth in 2014, but it is still early in the season. Although demand for road services is stable, the market is characterized by fierce competition.
Net sales rose to SEK 1,217 M (1,156). An early start to the season resulted in higher volumes of sales of aggregates and asphalt but the increase was also due to higher prices for aggregates.
Earnings, which are seasonally weak during the first quarter, improved to a loss of SEK 389 M (loss: 468). Higher sales of aggregates and asphalt, and better margins for aggregates generated positive results. Road services reported weaker earnings due to less snow-clearance work and lower profitability in a number of contracts.
Capital employed declined seasonally by SEK 0.2 billion during the quarter to SEK 3.3 billion.

1) Sold volume
The market trend was positive in most of NCC's housing markets. In Germany, prices and demand increased. In Denmark, prices increased in Copenhagen and demand was supported by relocation. In Sweden, prices also increased, particularly in Stockholm and Gothenburg. The Russian economy weakened but growth and demand in the housing market in St. Petersburg remained favorable. The economies of Latvia and Estonia are growing and the housing market is recovering. In Finland, households are cautious in terms of investments due to a moderate increase in real wages and higher unemployment. The Norwegian economy is expected to grow in 2014. In general, NCC expects stable demand in all markets in 2014 and largely unchanged price levels, except in Finland and Norway, where the trend is more uncertain.
HOUSING SALES AND CONSTRUCTION STARTS A total of 915 (763) housing units were sold to private customers and 138 (80) to the investor market. Housing sales to private customers increased in all markets except Norway and Finland. The largest increases were in St. Petersburg and Sweden, but sales also remained favorable in Germany. During the quarter, construction started on a total of 1,079 (475) housing units to private customers and 111 (80) units to the investor market. Two projects were started in St. Petersburg. Robust sales facilitated a higher number of housing starts in Sweden. In Norway, no new housing units were started due to a cautious market. Germany is continuing to grow thanks to strong demand. In Finland during the quarter, only one project for private customers was started and two for investors. At the end of the quarter, the number of housing units under production was 7,207.
Net sales matched the year-earlier period. Higher sales to private customers were offset by somewhat lower sales to investors. The number of housing units that were delivered and recognized in profit was higher, primarily in St. Petersburg, where the average price is lower than in other markets. A total of 629 (443) housing units for private customers and 138 (149) housing units for the investor market were recognized in profit.
Operating profit amounted to SEK 46 M (61). NCC Housing's earnings did not achieve the level of the yearearlier period, primarily due to lower earnings from sales to investors. During the quarter, transactions in Finland and Sweden were recognized in profit at low margins. Earnings from sales to private customers rose, while sales and administrative costs increased due to a larger operation.
During the quarter, capital employed totaled SEK 10.9 billion, up SEK 1.0 billion due to land acquisitions and an increase in the number of housing project starts.

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
Germany proportion of sold units. Sold units are recognized in profit as the time of delivery.
Concern about the European debt crisis has declined and conditions in the Nordic property market have improved, with the exception of Finland. Vacancy rates in central parts of Oslo and Stockholm are low, while somewhat higher in Copenhagen and Helsinki, particularly outside the central areas. Demand in the leasing market is healthy, except for Finland where demand in the office rental market is weaker. Yield requirements declined slightly during 2013 in Stockholm, Oslo and Copenhagen. At the end of 2013, transaction volumes increased and NCC expects a generally positive trend in the property market in 2014.
During the quarter, four project sales were recognized in profit: the Plaza Tuike office project in Finland, the Alberga C office project in Finland, the Vallila office and commercial property in Finland and the Lyngby commercial property in Denmark. For information concerning future profit recognition of projects, refer to the table on the following page. During the quarter, one new project, the Zenith 4.2 office project was started in Denmark.
At the end of the quarter, 14 (22) projects were either ongoing or completed but not yet recognized in profit. Four of these have been sold. The costs incurred in all projects totaled SEK 2.8 billion (3.5), corresponding to a completion rate of 63 (60) percent. During the quarter, 17,900 (21,400) square meters were leased. The leasing rate was 71 (72) percent.
Net sales rose year-on-year and the four projects that were recognized in profit accounted for the largest portion of sales. Two projects were recognized in profit in the yearearlier period.
Operating profit was lower than in the year-earlier period and amounted to SEK 49 M (78). The decline in market conditions in Finland had an impact on earnings from Finnish project sales. Earnings from previous sales also contributed to the results. Operating net amounted to SEK 18 M (12).
Capital employed declined SEK 0.3 billion during the quarter to SEK 3.7 billion, mainly due to project sales.

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. As of January 1, 2014, IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements is applied, which is a new standard for recognition of joint ventures and joint operations. The new standard entails that joint ventures are to 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 as of 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, and amended IAS 32 Financial Instruments: Presentation, amended IAS 36 Impairment of Assets, as well as IAS 39 Financial Instruments:Recognition and Measurement. These amendments are expected in varying degrees to have an 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).

1) 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 5 M (expense: 24). Furthermore elimination of internal profits are included, an income of SEK 0 M (income: 9) and other Group adjustments, mainly consisting of differences of accounting policy between the segments and the Group (including pensions), an income of SEK 7 M (income: 0).
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 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.

NCC's vision is to be the leading company in the development of future environments for working, living and communication.
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. Both operative and financial synergies exist between the businesses. 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.

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 Tuesday April 29, 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.
Rounding-off differences may arise in all tables.
