Orders received

Comments from the CEO

The first quarter of the year was stable for Peab despite substantial uncertainty in the world around us. We can report a high level of orders received for the quarter and almost unchanged net sales. Operations in business area Civil Engineering developed well while a cautious market in new home production continued to affect business areas Construction and Project Development.

Group development

The beginning of 2025 was characterized by continued varied activity on Peab's different markets while, because of the winter weather, there is seasonally less activity in the first quarter. This is particularly true for business area Industry which is marked by considerable deficits since the paving season does not begin until the second quarter. Group net sales contracted marginally during the quarter and amounted to SEK 10,925 million (11,141) and operating profit was SEK -278 million (-106). Capital gains of SEK 220 million resulting from the sales of Peab's shares in the joint venture Tornet Bostadsproduktion were included in the first quarter last year. Net debt amounted to SEK 8.3 billion (9.1) and the net debt/equity ratio was 0.5 (0.6). During the quarter net debt has been affected by a dividend of SEK 1,100 million received from Fastighets AB Centur which was offset against an interest-bearing liability that was generated in connection with the acquisition of property from Fastighets AB Centur during the fourth quarter 2024.

The level of orders received continued to be high during the quarter and amounted to SEK 16.6 billion (17.9). The level of orders received rose in business areas Construction, Industry and Project Development while it fell in business area Civil Engineering which had a very high level in the comparable period. Business area Construction continued to have a high portion of projects from the public sector with a great deal of variation and geographical spread. The level of orders in business area Industry was good in paving. In Project Development we production-started more tenant-owner/condominium projects than in the corresponding quarter last year. The high level of orders received means our order backlog at the end of the quarter amounted to nearly SEK 52 billion.

So-called phase 1 contracts which are preliminary agreements in business areas Construction and Civil Engineering that can lead to construction contracts have generated a potential value of final construction contracts of around SEK 16 billion over the next two years (SEK 13 billion per December 31, 2024). Most of the new contracts from the quarter are in business area Construction.

Business area development

Net sales contracted in business area Construction due to lower activity in new production of homes which other kinds of projects have not been able to fully compensate for. At the same time the operating margin improved in the first quarter to 2.1 percent (1.7). Activity continued to be high in business area Civil Engineering and the operating margin improved to 3.1 percent (2.2). In total, the operating margin for the construction contract businesses was 2.5 percent (1.9).

Net sales and profit contracted in business area Industry due to less activity in product areas construction system and rentals that are also affected by the weak housing market. For paving, where the first quarter entails preparing for the coming season, operating profit was on par with the first quarter 2024. Some of the Norwegian paving and mineral aggregates operations are undergoing review due to a period of low earnings.

Net sales in business area Project Development decreased, attributable to Housing Development. Operating profit amounted to SEK 83 million (246) where capital gains from the sales of property and shares in joint ventures in Property Development contributed by SEK 47 million. The level of sales in our own developed homes continued to be low but we have sold them at an even pace. Production started on a total of 523 (137) own developed homes during the quarter. Of these, 336 (137) were tenant-owner apartments/condominiums, of which 40 were converted from homes on our own balance sheet. Two of the housing projects are located in Stockholm, one on Kvarnholmen in Nacka and one in Råsunda in Solna. This demonstrates that it is possible to start tenant-owner housing projects in unique locations. The trend that sales opportunities increase as the project approaches completion continues and for this reason we are further developing the strategy of starting projects on our own balance sheet to then convert them into tenant-owner apartments.

This entails more tied-up capital and deferred effects on profits compared with our traditional method of advance sales before production starts of our own development projects. One project we started on our own balance sheet during the quarter is in Partille Port, an area we have developed for several years and where we are now producing a further 116 homes. The intention is to convert these to tenant-owner apartments later on.

Target outcome

After the first quarter 2025 we are reporting the outcome for three of our nine external targets: operating margin, net debt/equity ratio and serious accidents. The operating margin was 4.4 percent calculated on a rolling twelve month basis compared to 4.7 percent for the full year 2024. The target is six percent. The net debt/equity ratio was 0.5 (0.6) at the end of the month of March, which is inside the target interval 0.3-0.7.

Happily the clearly contracting trend in serious accidents has continued. Calculated on a rolling 12-month basis per March 31, 2025, these amounted to 28 (33 per December 31, 2024). We will continue to work with unabated intensity to keep the contracting trend going.

Market and prospects for the future

The geopolitical unpredictability contributes to a more cautious market and investment uncertainty. At the same time in some aspects Peab's business can benefit from the volatile world around us such as increase in funding for security and defense related projects.

Prospects for the Nordic construction markets are on the whole the same as they were in the previous quarter. The housing markets are expected to improve during 2025 as lower interest rates take effect, possibly at a slower pace than previously expected. Premise construction development points to a continued positive market, although somewhat more diversified between segments. Forecasts for the civil engineering market in 2025 show good growth there.

Peab's four business areas complement each other well and enable us to take advantage of the demand in our various product segments and the geographic markets. This is an advantage in any economy.

Net sales and profit

January – March 2025

Group net sales decreased slightly during the first quarter 2025 and amounted to SEK 10,925 million (11,141). Net sales for the latest rolling 12 month period amounted to SEK 58,481 million compared to SEK 58,697 million for the full year 2024. The share of public sector customers of net sales calculated on a rolling 12 month basis increased and accounted for 56 percent (50) and private customers for 44 percent (50).

Net sales in business area Construction decreased by eight percent compared to the same quarter last year. The decrease is due to less activity in new housing production that has not been fully compensated for by other types of projects. Activity in business area Civil Engineering continued to be high during the quarter and net sales increased by three percent. Net sales in business area Industry decreased by five percent due to lower activity in construction systems and rental operations resulting from a weak housing market. Net sales in Project Development decreased slightly compared to the corresponding period last year and the decrease is attributable to Housing Development.

Group operating profit amounted to SEK -278 million (-106) and the operating margin was -2.5 percent (-1.0). The first quarter is markedly affected by the season, particularly in business area Industry, since the beginning of the year is characterized by considerable deficits because the paving season begins in the second quarter. The first quarter last year included a positive effect of SEK 220 million in business area Project Development as a result of the divestment of the shares in the joint venture Tornet Bostadsproduktion.

The operating margin improved in business area Construction to 2.1 percent (1.7) in the first quarter and in business area Civil Engineering the operating margin improved to 3.1 percent (2.2). All in all, the operating margin for construction contract operations amounted to 2.5 percent (1.9). Operating profit in business area Industry fell and the operating margin was -24.0 percent (-19.9). The operating profit in paving was on par with the first quarter of 2024, but both construction system and rental operations have been affected by the weak housing market and reported lower profitability compared to the first quarter last year. Operating profit in business area Project Development amounted to SEK 83 million (246) where capital gains from divestitures of properties and shares in joint ventures in Property Development contributed by SEK 47 million (258). The comparable period included a capital gain of SEK 220 million from the sale of shares in the joint venture Tornet Bostadsproduktion. In Housing Development the operating margin was 3.6 percent (-1.5).

Depreciation and write-downs for the first quarter were SEK -355 million (-350).

Elimination and reversal of internal profit in our own projects affected operating profit during the quarter by net SEK 19 million (7).

Net financial items amounted to SEK -106 million (-76) of which net interest was SEK -79 million (-102).

Pre-tax profit was SEK -384 million (-182). Profit for the period was SEK -351 million (-129).

Operating profit and operating margin, per quarter

* Operating margin excluding effect of MoS was 4.4%. For more information on the arbitration judgement in Mall of Scandinavia, see the Annual and Sustainability Report 2024

Operating profit and operating margin, rolling 12 months

* Operating margin rolling 12 months excluding effect of MoS was 3.8% as of June 30, 2023, 3.6% as of September 30, 2023, 2.5% as of December 31, 2023 and 2.6% as of March 31, 2024.

Seasonal variations

Group operations, particularly in Industry and Civil Engineering, are normally affected by fluctuations that come with the cold weather during the winter half of the year. The first quarter is usually weaker than the rest of the year.

Financial position and cash flow

Financial position

Total assets according to segment reporting per March 31, 2025 were SEK 42,722 million (43,949). Equity amounted to SEK 16,285 million (14,976), which entails an equity/assets ratio of 38.1 percent (34.1).

Interest-bearing net debt amounted to SEK 8,266 million (9,139) per March 31, 2025. During the quarter dividends of SEK 1,100 million were received from Fastighets AB Centur, which was offset against interest-bearing debt that arose in connection with the acquisition of properties from Fastighets AB Centur during the fourth quarter of 2024. Net debt includes project financing of the unsold part of our own housing developments while they are in production. The unsold part was SEK 1,944 million (2,649). Interest-bearing receivables amounted to SEK 1,648 million (2,583). The amount includes a capital claim of SEK 1,067 million (1,067) on Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield according to the arbitration decision announced on June 30, 2023. For details regarding the arbitration, see the section Risks and uncertainty factors and the Annual and Sustainability Report 2024. The average interest rate in the loan portfolio was 4.8 percent (5.8) on March 31, 2025.

Group liquid funds according to IFRS, including unutilized credit facilities but excluding project financing, were SEK 8,159 million at the end of the period compared to SEK 8,822 million on December 31, 2024.

As a consequence of Peab consolidating Swedish tenant-owner associations according to IFRS, surety for tenant-owner associations under production is not reported. When homebuyers take possession of their apartments and the tenantowner association is no longer consolidated in Peab's accounts, Peab then reports the part of surety that covers unsold homes. Peab has a guarantee obligation to acquire unsold homes six months after completion. Group contingent liabilities, excluding joint and several liabilities in trading and limited partnerships, amounted to SEK 1,819 million at the end of the period compared to SEK 2,179 million on December 31, 2024. Surety for credit lines in tenant-owner associations regarding the unsold part after deconsolidation made up SEK 240 million of contingent liabilities compared to SEK 508 million on December 31, 2024.

Investments and divestments

During the quarter tangible and intangible fixed assets were invested for SEK 153 million (179). The investments mainly refer to investments in machines in business area Industry. During the quarter tangible and intangible fixed assets of SEK 43 million (44) were divested.

Project and development properties

Project and development properties, which are reported as inventory items, amounted to SEK 16,720 million as of March 31, 2025, compared to SEK 16,828 million as of December 31, 2024. The net change during the quarter was SEK -108 million (879). The increase during the corresponding quarter last year was due to the acquisition of building rights in Nacka through the purchase of Sicklaön Bygg Invest AB.

Cash flow

Cash flow from current operations was SEK -430 million (-874) in the first quarter 2025, of which cash flow from changes in working capital was SEK -134 million (-388). The negative cash flow is mainly related to business area Industry where the season does not start until the second quarter.

Cash flow from investment activities was SEK 67 million (656). The positive cash flow is related to business area Project Development and the sale of shares in joint ventures. At the same time the level of machine investments in business area Industry was lower than in the first quarter 2024. Last year cash flow was positively affected by the sale of shares in the joint venture Tornet Bostadsproduktion in business area Project Development.

Cash flow before financing was SEK -363 million (-218).

Order situation

January – March 2025

Orders received continued to be high during the first quarter 2025 and amounted to SEK 16,574 million (17,889). The level of orders received rose in business areas Construction, Industry and Project Development while it fell in business area Civil Engineering, which had a very high level in the comparable period. Paving contracts increased in business area Industry in both Sweden and Finland. Business area Project Development started production of more tenant-owner apartments/condominiums than in the corresponding quarter last year, which had a positive effect on the level of orders received. There is a large portion of projects for the public sector in orders received for the Group.

Order backlog yet to be produced at the end of the period grew and amounted to SEK 51,955 million (47,808). Of the total order backlog, 47 percent (46) is expected to be produced after 2025 (2024). Swedish operations accounted for 78 percent (81) of the order backlog.

Preliminary agreements

Operations in business areas Construction and Civil Engineering often participate in dialogues with customers at an early stage prior to planned projects, so-called phase 1 contracts. Through these preliminary agreements Peab is contracted to arrive at, together with the customer, an optimal product with the right quality and also deal with risks and uncertainties. As of 2024, we present the potential value of the final construction contracts generated by these preliminary agreements.

At the beginning of 2025 the potential value was around SEK 13 billion. During the period several projects went from phase 1 to phase 2, which means that the projects have been converted into construction contracts and included in Peab's orders received. At the same time, we see that new projects have flowed into phase 1 while other projects have fallen away. During the quarter most of the new projects are in business area Construction. The value of the construction contracts generated from these phase 1 contracts at the end of March was around SEK 16 billion, and these orders will potentially be received over the next two years.

Business area Construction

With local roots close to customers business area Construction does construction work for both external and internal customers. Construction projects include everything from new production of housing, public and commercial premises to renovations and extensions as well as construction maintenance.

Operations in business area Construction are run via some 150 local offices around the Nordic region, organized in eleven regions in Sweden, three in Norway and two in Finland. There are specialized housing production units in Stockholm, Gothenburg and the Öresund region. Construction maintenance is a nationwide organization in Sweden focused on major cities. Other regions are responsible for all types of construction projects in their geographic area.

Net sales and profit

Net sales for the first quarter 2025 decreased by eight percent and amounted to SEK 5,317 million (5,788). The decrease is due to less activity in new housing production that has not been fully compensated by other types of projects.

The proportion of housing construction in net sales has fallen sharply while premise construction, primarily for the public sector, has increased. Calculated on a rolling 12 month basis, per March 31, 2025 housing accounted for 26 percent (36) of net sales.

Operating profit increased during the quarter and amounted to SEK 111 million (101) and the operating margin improved to 2.1 percent (1.7). The operating margin for the latest rolling 12 month period was 1.8 percent compared to 1.7 percent for the full year 2024.

Orders received and order backlog

Orders received increased during the first quarter and amounted to SEK 8,784 million (6,654). There is a large portion of projects for the public sector in orders received. Calculated on a rolling 12 month period the level of orders received was 104 percent of net sales.

Order backlog on March 31, 2025 was SEK 26,685 million (25,483). The proportion of housing projects at the end of the period was 29 percent (29).

Business area Civil Engineering

Business area Civil Engineering is a leading actor in Sweden and one of the larger players in Norway. Civil Engineering works with landscaping and pipelines, builds and maintains roads, railroads, bridges and other infrastructure as well as does foundation work. Operations are organized in five geographic regions, one region for foundations and one specialized nationwide region in Sweden for operation and maintenance.

Local market in business area Civil Engineering works with landscaping, streets, pipelines, foundation work as well as construction of different kinds of facilities and water and pipeline systems. Infrastructure and heavy construction builds roads, railroads, bridges, tunnels and ports. Operation and maintenance handles national and municipal highways and street networks, tends parks and outdoor property as well as operates water and wastewater networks.

Net sales and profit

Activity was high during the first quarter 2025 in business area Civil Engineering in both Sweden and Norway. Public investments in the form of infrastructure and water and sewage facilities as well as the ongoing climate transition have a positive impact. Net sales increased by three percent to SEK 3,668 million (3,558).

Operating profit increased to SEK 114 million (77) and the operating margin improved to 3.1 percent (2.2). The operating margin for the latest rolling 12 month period was 3.2 percent compared to 3.0 percent for the full year 2024.

Orders received and order backlog

Business area Industry

Business area Industry provides products and services needed to carry out construction and civil engineering projects on the Nordic market that are more sustainable and cost-efficient. With local roots we work with both external and internal customers.

Business area Industry offers everything from mineral aggregates, concrete, paving and temporary electricity to prefabricated concrete elements and frame assembly. The business area also assists with crane, barrack and machine rental, distribution of binder to the concrete industry, transportation and recycles surpluses from the construction and civil engineering industry as well. The business area is run in six product areas: mineral aggregates, paving, concrete, transportation and machines, rentals and construction system.

Net sales and profit

Business area Industry has a very clear seasonal pattern where the first quarter is characterized by substantial deficits since the paving season begins in the second quarter.

Net sales for the first quarter 2025 decreased by five percent to SEK 2,283 million (2,411). The decrease is related to construction systems and rentals due to a weak housing market.

Operating profit contracted during the first quarter and amounted to SEK -549 million (-479) and the operating margin was -24.0 percent (-19.9).

Mineral aggregates and concrete had slightly improved earnings in the quarter compared to the corresponding quarter last year. Operating profit for paving, where the first quarter entails preparing for the coming season, was on par with the first quarter 2024. Some of the operations in the Norwegian paving and mineral aggregates operations are undergoing review due to a period of low earnings. Both construction systems and rental operations have been impacted by the weak housing market and reported lower profitability compared to the first quarter last year. The operating margin of the business area for latest rolling 12 month period was 6.3 percent compared to 6.6 percent for the full year 2024.

Capital employed at the end of the period decreased and was SEK 9,735 million compared to SEK 10,806 million at the end of the corresponding period last year. The decrease is due to a lower investment rate and an improvement in working capital.

Orders received and order backlog

The level of orders received increased during the first quarter to SEK 3,835 million (2,932). The increase is related to paving contracts in both Sweden and Finland.

Order backlog per March 31, 2025 amounted to SEK 7,417 million (6,211).

Housing Development

The weak demand on the Nordic housing market in recent years is clearly noticeable in Housing Development. Net sales in the first quarter 2025 amounted to SEK 934 million (1,032). The low net sales are due to few production starts and few ongoing housing projects of tenant-owner apartments/condominiums. Operating profit was SEK 34 million (-15) and the operating margin was 3.6 percent (-1.5). The operating margin for the latest rolling 12-month period was -1.3 percent compared to -2.7 percent for the full year 2024.

As of 2025 our own housing development projects are divided into three categories: Tenant-owner apartments/condominiums where net sales and profit in segment reporting are successively reported as the projects are completed. Orders received and order backlog are also reported for this type of property. Rental apartments, which are built on our own balance sheet and where net sales and profit are reported at one point in time when Peab sells the property to an external party. Homes on our own balance sheet are projects that are productionstarted and built on our own balance sheet and can then be converted into tenant-owner apartments/condominiums or sold as rental apartments. Net sales and profit are reported first when the housing project is reclassified either as tenant-owner apartments/condominiums and then successively reported as the project is completed, or sold and turned over as rental apartments.

Production started on a total of 523 (137) own developed homes during the quarter. Of these, 336 (137) were tenant-owner apartments/condominiums, of which 40 were converted from homes on our own balance sheet. Two of the housing projects are located in Stockholm, one on Kvarnholmen in Nacka and one in Råsunda in Solna. This demonstrates that it is possible to start tenant-owner housing projects in unique locations. Production started on 187 (-) homes as new housing developments on our own balance sheet. The number of sold homes during the quarter was 272 (305), of which 226 (166) were tenant-owner apartments/condominiums and 46 (-) were homes on our own balance sheet under production. In the first quarter last year 139 homes were sold in rental apartment projects as well.

The total number of homes in production at the end of the period was 1,910 (2,810), of which 1,207 (1,866) were tenant-owner apartments/condominiums, 80 (320) were homes in rental apartment projects and 623 (624) were homes on our own balance sheet. At the end of the period the sales rate for the total number of homes in production was 35 percent (45). The sales rate of tenantowner apartments/condominiums was 43 percent (61). The total number of completed and repurchased homes was 678 (479), most of which were in Sweden.

Sales of our own housing developments continued to be low during the quarter, even though we are selling at an even pace. The trend that sales opportunities increase as the project approaches completion is continuing and we are therefore continuing to work on the strategy of starting more projects on our own balance sheet. We will then convert them into tenant-owner apartments/condominiums, which entails more tied-up capital and deferred effects on profits compared with our traditional method of advance sales before production starts of our own development projects, or sell them as rental apartments.

There is an underlying need for new housing although aspects like high construction costs and downward revised forecasts regarding population growth make it harder to assess demand in the medium-term. As far as Peab is concerned we have a well-dimensioned development rights portfolio in attractive locations and in anticipation of market recovery we are further developing and preparing projects for start-ups in the future.

Capital employed decreased and amounted to SEK 13,420 million (13,744) at the end of the period.

Property Development

Net sales and operating profit from operations are derived from acquisitions, development, running and managing wholly owned property, shares in profit from joint ventures as well as capital gains/losses from the divestiture of completed property and shares in joint ventures.

Net sales for the first quarter 2025 were SEK 57 million (23) and operating profit was SEK 49 million (261). Capital gains from property divestitures and participations in joint ventures amounted in total to SEK 47 million (258). The comparable period included capital gains of SEK 220 million from the sale of shares in the joint venture Tornet Bostadsproduktion. Profit contributions from joint ventures amounted to SEK 18 million (19).

At the end of the period capital employed in Property Development was SEK 5,015 million (4,590). A large part of the capital employed consists of shares in joint ventures and loans to joint ventures. During the quarter, Fastighets AB Centur distributed a dividend of SEK 1,100 million which was offset against an interest-bearing liability generated in connection with the acquisition of properties from Fastighets AB Centur in the fourth quarter 2024.

Non-financial targets and sustainability

Every day Peab contributes to sustainable social development and works to improve everyday life for people in their local communities. We do this by building everything from homes, schools and hospitals to bridges, roads and other infrastructure. Working sustainably is a strategic matter for Peab that primarily takes place locally, connected to everyday life based on our core values, business concept, mission, strategic targets and Code of Conduct.

We monitor our business based on nine external targets – both financial and nonfinancial – that also identify our material sustainable aspects. These are found in the strategic targets Best workplace and Leader in social responsibility. We report the targets quarterly, semi-annually or annually. In this report we report the outcome of three of these targets: the operating margin, net debt/equity ratio and our target concerning our vision of zero workplace accidents and a contracting trend in serious workplace accidents.

Most satisfied customers

It is imperative for a long-term, sustainable relationship that Peab deliver on its obligations to customers. A satisfied customer is a customer that comes back and is vital to marketing our company. Our annual customer survey is an important measure of how well we are meeting our customers' expectations while also indicating where there is room for improvement.

In our measurement method of Customer Satisfaction Index (CSI) each business area corresponds to 25 percent of the rating for the Group's compiled CSI result. In 2024 CSI amounted to 78 which is a continued good result and bit over our target of 75.

In connection with the CSI survey we also ask customers how they perceive Peab based on a number of factors. Both private and business customers give Peab's personnel the highest rating while reliability increased the most. Almost 2,400 customers participated in the autumn survey. Now we will continue to work together with our customers – and strive for early and close dialogues – to achieve the highest possible value for customers and their greatest satisfaction with Peab.

The next target update will be after the fourth quarter in the year-end report

Best workplace

Peab's business is founded on a strong corporate culture. Employees can make a difference by building the local community in the places all over the Nordic region where they live and work. Every employee has a great deal of personal responsibility, and should have both good working conditions and development opportunities as well as safe and inclusive workplaces.

Serious accidents

A safe work environment is the foundation of our business. Everyone at our work-places should be able to be there under safe and secure conditions, despite the fact that there are risks involved in the work we do. Peab has a vision of zero workplace accidents. We continuously develop our quality-assured work methods and train our employees to reinforce our safety culture. The focus is on preventive work, remediation of reported incidents and risk observations, and learning from them.

In order to reach our vision of zero workplace accidents, we have a target of a contracting trend in serious accidents* that includes everyone at our workplaces. We are happy to say that the number of serious accidents has continued to contract, from 33 for full year 2024 to 28 over a rolling twelve month period per March 31, 2025. During the first quarter 2025 there were eight serious accidents, of which five involved our own employees and three employees of subcontractors.

We also monitor the number of workplace accidents with more than four days absence, excluding the day of injury (LTI4), and workplace accidents according to the same definition per one million hours worked (LTIF4) for our own employees. During the first quarter of the year the number of LTI4 contracted to 25 (37 in the fourth quarter 2024) and the LTIF4 frequency rate over a rolling 12 month period was 5.7 (5.9 after the fourth quarter 2024). Now we will continue with unabated intensity to reduce the number of accidents.

Attractive employers (eNPS)

We should be the best workplace in the industry and thereby the obvious choice of employer. Twice a year we hold our personnel survey The Handshake so that co-workers and teams can continuously develop. The questions mainly concern productivity, the team's sustainability and if employees are willing to recommend Peab as an employer (eNPS). The latter is also one of our nine external targets that we report twice a year and should be above the benchmark for the industry and manufacturing trade.

In the autumn survey the eNPS value for the Group continued to be far above the Nordic benchmark. We increased by a point to 28 (27) even though last year was full of external challenges. At the same time the benchmark fell by three points to

17 (20). The eNPS value rose particularly for female skilled workers. In the survey employees rated collaboration with co-workers, community and Peab's core values as some of the company's greatest strengths. The negative trend was strain. Participation in the autumn survey was the highest in Peab's history with 90.2 (89.9) percent, displaying the great interest our employees have in contributing to the development of our business.

The next target update will be after the second quarter in the half-year report 2025.

Leader in social responsibility

Carbon dioxide intensity

As the Nordic Community Builder we have a big responsibility for reducing the considerable climate impact of the construction and civil engineering industry at the rate required by the Paris Agreement. Peab impacts the environment and the climate through our own operations and for the impact of our value chains upstream and downstream. Operations primarily cause emissions of greenhouse gases by using various materials in production like concrete, steel and asphalt. Two other major sources of carbon emissions in production are energy consumption and transportation. So these are the areas we prioritize our emission reduction activities. As community builders we also have a comprehensive perspective on our climate work and strive to contribute to a sustainable society on the whole by building, for example, solar power plants and railroads or by building in such a way that people can live more sustainably. We have a life cycle perspective in our operations and take responsibility for both making and meeting demands in our value chain. We have an advantage in that we can supply our construction contract operations and the projects we develop ourselves with input goods and raw material through business area Industry, which augments our ability to actively steer towards lower carbon emissions.

In 2045 Peab will be climate neutral. Our sub-targets by 2030 are to reduce carbon dioxide intensity by at least 60 percent in our own operations (Scope 1 and 2) and for input goods and purchased services (Scope 3) by at least 50 percent compared to base year 2015. The outcome after 2024 revealed that developments are going in the right direction although to different degrees. Carbon dioxide intensity in our own operations has gone down by 50 percent. Carbon dioxide intensity for input goods and purchased services, where the scope and extent of reported data has improved in 2024, has decreased by 12 percent since 2015. Using more ECO-products in operations and a higher degree of reuse and recycling of waste contribute to the reduction although this positive effect is diminished due to the change in Sweden as of 2024 of the reduction obligation. There might also be a certain delay in revision of emission factors as a result of the changed reduction obligation on our fuel-related products. In 2024 in absolute figures (tCO2e) Scope 1 amounted to 176,000, Scope 2 (market based) was 14,500 and Scope 3 was 910,000. These figures show that we are well on the road to converting the production we ourselves have control over but the greater challenge is when we are dependent on other parties for a reduction in our carbon footprint. It is therefore vital that together with our customers we continue to make explicit and stringent demands for the climate improvement measures in order to reduce emissions. We work actively to better the quality of our metrics of greenhouse gases emissions, particularly in Scope 3 reporting, and we have also increased the scope of reported data in 2024.

The next target update will be after the fourth quarter in the year-end report 2025.

Equal opportunity recruitment

The construction and civil engineering industry has a major role to play in taking advantage of all the competence society has to offer. As one of the largest Nordic community builders we have a responsibility to nudge the entire industry forward. The portion of women that graduate with, for Peab, degrees in relevant, practical education in the Nordic region has increased to around eight percent from previously six percent. Our target is that the percentage of women recruited to Peab for our core skills to always be higher than the percentage of women who have graduated with, for us, relevant degrees on the education markets. Therefore we have raised our target for 2025 to at least 8.0 percent. We are focused on core skills in production (skilled workers) as well as in production management and production support (white-collar workers).

At the end of 2024 the percentage of women in new recruitments was 10.6 percent in production and processing compared to our target of at least 6.0 percent. New recruitment in production management and production support rose to 39.1 percent compared to our target of at least 30.0 percent. There have been relatively few recruitments during the past year because of the current market situation.

The next target update will be after the fourth quarter in the year-end report 2025.

Activities during the first quarter

  • Swerock launched the new concrete product ECO SweKem especially produced for demanding environments in primarily treatment plants, in agriculture and the heavy chemical industry. ECO SweKem is in both step 3 and 4, the highest levels of ECO-Betong (ECO-Concrete). •
  • For the third time The Construction Year, Peab's one year trainee program for women, is taking in new applications. The Construction Year was launched in 2023 to counter the sluggish pace of equality work in the construction and civil engineering industry. This autumn the third round of trainees will be placed in construction projects in some 15 locations throughout the country. •
  • Peab is a partner in the development project CleanCon ll which is aimed at accelerating the transition to renewable energy in the construction and civil engineering industry, thereby achieving climate neutral transportation. In the project Peab tests and evaluates large electric, emission free machines •
  • in existing construction contracts in Norway, Sweden and Denmark. The project comprises municipalities, entrepreneurs, energy suppliers in battery and hydrogen gas technology, machine suppliers and research institutes.
  • Lambertsson has developed an energy saving tower crane, ECO-crane, that was tested on a construction site for apartment buildings in Jyväskylä in Finland. The tower crane uses brake energy regeneration, feeding energy back into the electricity grid for reuse. This has resulted in a 27 percent energy savings on the construction site in Jyväskylä. •
  • The project Peder Holmsgatan in Ronneby won the award Construction of the Year 2025 in the category renovation. Ronnebyhus commissioned Peab to renovate an apartment building from the 50s. It was the first renovation project to be Swan certified in Sweden. •

Summary external targets

In order to further promote value creation Peab updated its targets as of 2021 – everything from our mission, business concept and strategic target areas to internal and external financial and non-financial targets. We report the performance of our business by monitoring nine external targets, of which three are financial and based on segment reporting and six are non-financial targets. We consider the external targets particularly important and they are a subset of our internal targets and action plans. At the beginning of 2024, Peab communicated that all nine targets will remain unchanged for the period 2024 – 2026.

Both the internal and external financial and non-financial targets are categorized under the strategic targets: Most satisfied customers, Best workplace, Most profitable company and Leader in social responsibility. All targets relate to the industry. For a more detailed description of each target please see www.peab.com/targets.

Construction market

Sweden

The Swedish GNP grew slightly in 2024 and GNP growth in 2025 is estimated at 1.7 percent. Global turbulence and the ongoing shifts in trade policies that commenced 2025 make it hard to assess how interest rates will develop but general consensus is that the repo rate will remain at 2.25 percent over the forecast period. If inflation stabilizes at around two percent, this will create the right conditions for household's purchasing power and the economy to recover. Despite greater uncertainty at the beginning of the year housing construction is expected to continue to recover in 2025, albeit at a slower pace. The forecast for newly built premises has been adjusted downward marginally for 2025 although construction is expected to be above the historic average. While industrial investments have slowed, construction of new premises is being supported by politically driven investments in the justice system and the military. In the same vein, recovery in renovations of both homes and premises is expected to accelerate in 2025. Total civil engineering investments are expected to ratchet up compared to 2024 and increase by five percent. This is primarily due to expansion of the electricity grid as well as higher investments in roads and railroads but investments in ports and shipping lanes are expected to increase as well.

Norway

Norway's mainland GNP is expected to grow by 1.2 percent in 2025. Norges Bank decided to leave the repo rate unchanged in March 2025 and it will take longer than previously predicted for interest rates to go down. Real wage growth and low unemployment is expected to boost purchasing power and benefit the construction market. Sales of newly produced homes is expected to slowly increase in 2025, although the postponed drop in interest rates and high construction costs will delay the normalization of new production. The forecasts for premise construction have been lowered for 2025 but still point to a more positive market than the two previous years. Higher military investments and good development in certain industries are stabilizing developments while the trend in commercial property, offices buildings and educational facilities is weaker this year. The renovation market is expected to grow in 2025. Forecasts for 2025 indicate good growth in the civil engineering market after a downturn in 2024. The most significant driving force of growth is expected to be the increase in power and energy plants but maritime infrastructure and municipal technique facilities are also expected to grow. Civil engineering investments are calculated to rise by 2.4 percent in 2025.

Finland

Optimism about the Finnish economy among consumers and companies has begun to improve. After a negative GNP development in 2024 GNP is expected to grow again in 2025 and is estimated at 0.8 percent. Inflation in Finland will most likely continue to be low and remain under two percent for the year. Even if interest rates continue to fall the level is still so high that they hamper continued growth. Recovery in the housing market has begun this year supported by falling interest rates and low inflation but the process is slow. As sales of homes on the second hand market accelerate sales of new homes are expected to follow, which will gradually lead to the start up of new housing production. Premise construction is expected to increase in 2025 driven by commercial, office and industrial buildings along with data centers and defense projects. Green investments will also contribute to higher premise construction. Housing renovations will likely have slight development during the year while renovations on the commercial market will increase primarily due to energy renovations. After declining for several years investments in civil engineering are expected to grow in 2025, mainly due to higher infrastructure investments. Zero growth is estimated in operation and maintenance in 2025.

Risks and uncertainty factors

Peab's business is exposed to several different types of risks but Peab's four business areas, operations in four countries and customers in both the private and public sectors provide the foundation for spreading risks well. Some risks are out of Peab's control but can have various impacts on the conditions for running a business. These are, for example, developments in the economy, interest rate trends, customer behavior, climate impact and political decisions. There are other risks Peab can in different ways affect by reducing their impact or eliminating them entirely. These are primarily risks in operations that are handled in the line organization in the business areas based on established procedures, processes and governance systems. Group risks are divided into four risk categories: operative risks, financial risks, strategic risks as well as compliance risks.

There are always operative risks in a project-related business like Peab's and managing these risks is a continuous process due to the large number of projects the Group is always starting up, carrying out and completing. Peab's project operations work with a number of different contract forms where risk levels vary depending on the type of contract. However, with any type of contract ambiguities can arise concerning the terms, which can lead to delimitation issues that create a dispute with the customer.

Financial risks are primarily associated with the company's need for capital, tiedup capital and access to financing. Financial risks are managed on Group level.

Strategic risks are risks linked to our mission, our long-term targets and our strategy. The increasing geopolitical unpredictability contributes to a more cautious market and uncertainty concerning investments, inflation and economic development in general. Higher uncertainty impacts the construction industry regarding investments and how prices and access to materials and energy evolve. We constantly work on developing our employees, construction methods and new climate smart construction material in order to meet market needs.

Compliance risks concern, for example, lack of compliance with laws, contracts or internal regulations and guidelines. Other examples are involvement in corruption or improper competition. Compliance risks are not only found in Peab's own organization but in our supply chains as well. The consequences of compliance risks include fines, damaged trust, failed projects and exclusion from procurements.

A decision in the case between Peab and Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield regarding the contract for Mall of Scandinavia in Solna was handed down in Peab's favor on June 30, 2023. Thereafter Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield petitioned the Swedish Court of Appeal to set aside the judgment in its entirety in a so-called protest action. After a thorough legal trial through arbitration lasting nearly seven years Peab cannot see any grounds for a protest action. In the further process Peab will counter the protest action. During the process the arbitration judgement is suspended and thereby unenforceable, which defers the time of payment. Svea Court of Appeal is expected to hand down a judgement regarding the protest action during the second quarter 2025.

For further information about risks and uncertainty factors as well as on the arbitration judgement concerning Mall of Scandinavia, see the Annual and Sustainability Report 2024.

Parent company

The parent company Peab AB's net sales for the first quarter 2025 amounted to SEK 248 million (179) and mainly consisted of internal Group services. Profit for the period amounted to SEK -17 million (-5).

The parent company's assets mainly consist of participations in Group companies amounting to SEK 10,339 million (10,433). The assets have been financed from equity of SEK 13,345 million (11,804). During the period, the parent company reported share-based payments of SEK 10 million in equity.

As of February 1, 2024 Peab's Swedish support functions are run in Peab AB. The change has been implemented through a so-called business transition, which means that all employees in Peab Support AB (Shared Service Centre) and Peab Utveckling AB have been offered a transfer of employment to Peab AB.

The parent company is indirectly affected by the risks described in the section Risks and uncertainty factors.

Note 1 – Accounting principles

The quarterly report has been prepared according to the IFRS standards that have been adopted by EU as well as the interpretations of the valid standards adopted by EU, IFRICs. This report for the Group has been prepared according to IAS 34, Interim financial reporting as well as applicable regulations in the Annual Accounts Act. The parent company quarterly report has been prepared according to chapter 9 in the Annual Accounts Act, Quarterly reports and RFR 2, Accounting rules for legal entities. The Group and parent company have applied the same accounting principles and conditions as in the latest Annual and Sustainability Report.

In addition to the financial reports and their accompanying notes further information according to IAS 34.16A can be found in other sections of the quarterly report.

Differences in segment reporting and reporting according to IFRS

The Group is reported in the four business areas Construction, Civil Engineering, Industry and Project Development. The business areas are also operating segments. Segment reporting is the model Peab believes best describes Peab's business regarding both internal steering and risk profile, and it is also how the Board and executive management monitor operations.

For Peab's construction contract businesses, Construction and Civil Engineering, revenue and profit are recognized over time in both segment reporting and reporting according to IFRS. For business area Industry revenue and profit are recognized both over time and at a certain point in time, and reporting is the same in both segment reporting and reporting according to IFRS. For business area Project Development in segment reporting within the unit Housing Development revenue and expenses are recognized over time as the projects are successively completed. This applies to Swedish tenant-owner associations and own single homes, Norwegian condominiums and share housing and Finnish residential limited companies. In reporting according to IFRS, housing projects are recognized when the final homebuyers take possession of their apartments. In business area Project Development and the unit Property Development revenue and profit are recognized at a certain point in time in both segment reporting and reporting according to IFRS.

Group functions are reported in addition to the business areas and consist of central companies, certain subsidiaries and other holdings. Central companies consist primarily of the parent company Peab AB and Peab Finans AB. There is no difference in segment reporting and reporting according to IFRS regarding Group functions.

In segment reporting leasing fees for the lessee are recognized linearly over the leasing period for leasing contracts that by the counterparty (lessor) are classified as operational leasing contracts. IFRS 16 Leases is applied in the consolidated accounts according to IFRS which entails that the lessee recognizes depreciation and interest attributable to leasing assets respectively leasing liabilities. Leasing contracts that by the counterparty (lessor) are classified as financial leasing contracts are recognized in Peab's segment accounting according to the principles that correspond with those for the lessee according to IFRS 16.

Reporting on internal projects between business areas Construction and Project Development

Business area Construction recognizes revenue and profit referring to the construction contract part of our own housing developments, rental project developments and other property development projects for business area Project Development. Recognition takes place over time as the projects are completed. Business area Project Development recognizes revenue for both the construction contract and developer part of our own housing development projects. Recognized profit consists of the profit in the developer part over time. Internal net sales between business area Construction and business area Project Development regarding the construction cost of our own housing development projects are eliminated in consolidated reporting. Internal profit is returned when the project is divested.

Reporting on property projects on our own balance sheet

The underlying sales value of property projects on our own balance sheet, recognized as project and development property, that are sold in the form of a company via shares, is recognized as revenue and the book value on the balance sheet is recognized as an expense. When property projects recognized as operations property or investment property are divested the net effect on profit is recognized as other operating income or other operating cost. Recognition of property projects is the same in both segment reporting and reporting according to IFRS.

Financial key ratios in segment reporting

Financial key ratios such as capital employed, total assets, equity, equity/assets ratio, net debt, net debt/equity ratio, cashflow before financing and earnings per share are presented in segment reporting with consideration taken to the above prerequisites. Net debt in segment reporting includes project financing for the unsold portion of ongoing own housing development projects. This is because Peab has an obligation to acquire unsold homes six months after completion.

Note 4 – Financial assets and liabilities valued at fair value

The table below shows the allocated level for financial assets and financial liabilities recognized at fair value in the Group's balance sheet. Measurement of fair value is based on a three level hierarchy;

  • Level 1: prices that reflect quoted prices on an active market for identical assets.
  • Level 2: based on direct or indirect inputs observable to the market not included in level 1.
  • Level 3: based on inputs unobservable to the market.

For a description of how fair value has been calculated see the Annual and Sustainability Report 2024, note 32. The fair value of financial assets and liabilities recognized as their amortized cost is estimated to be, in principle, the same as their recognized values.

Alternative performance measures and definitions

Alternative performance measures are used to describe the development of operations and to enhance comparability between periods. These are not defined under IFRS but correspond to the methods applied by executive management and Board of Directors to measure the company's financial performance. Alternative performance measures should not be viewed as a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with IFRS but rather as a complement.

The difference between segment reporting and reporting according to IFRS is described in more detail in note 1. The difference primarily consists of differences in accounting principles for our own housing development projects where revenue and profit are recognized over time in segment reporting and at one point in

time, when homebuyers take over their homes, in reporting according to IFRS. In segment reporting leasing fees for the lessee are recognized linearly over the leasing period for leases that are classified by the counterparty (the lessor) as operational leases. IFRS 16 Leases is applied in Group reporting according to IFRS, which entails that lessees recognize depreciation and interest attributable to leasing assets and liabilities. As a result the difference between segment reporting and reporting according to IFRS even affects the items on the balance sheet, including net debt. Nonetheless, in the key ratios below the method of calculation is the same for both segment reporting and reporting according to IFRS. For more information and calculations, see Peab's website

Serious accidents can be injuries such as bone fractures, effusive bleeding or nerve, muscle or tendon damage, injuries to inner organs or second or third degree burns. Serious accidents that occur in our other Nordic countries are categorized by the same definition.
