CEO STATEMENT

Strong order bookings with new customers and a continued process of restructuring of Karlastaden marked the second quarter.

The Group is continuing to grow, but the effect of a changed recognition of income and profit from tenant-owner apartment projects and internal deliveries to the wholly owned Karlastaden means that the entire increase cannot be recognized. Sales and profit in the Group from internally managed projects are eliminated in accounting terms until they are completed and sold.

Taken together, this negatively impacted the comparison with the same quarter last year by SEK 134 million for sales and SEK 22 million for operating profit. Accumulated for the two first quarters, sales are impacted by SEK 327 million and profit by SEK 36 million. Sales and profit are delayed and will instead be deducted in the future. Operating cash flow for the period was also negatively impacted by the aforementioned reasons. For the second quarter, the negative impact is SEK 197 million and accumulated for the first half of 2019, the negative impact is SEK 294 million. The Group has SEK 640 million in available cash and cash equivalents at the end of the period.

The work of preparing for the development of Karlastaden is a prioritized issue. Through an exclusivity agreement, Serneke began negotiations on the sale and a complete financing of Karlatornet. The counterparty is an international actor with good capacity and experience of investments in large projects in the global market. Our objective is to complete an agreement as soon as possible and come back with more detailed in the third quarter.

Despite the recent slowdown in housing construction and the forecasts that indicate a continued declining trend, we generally have a positive view of the underlying demand. The housing shortage remains, the regional differences in the market are large and the need for public service properties is significant. For us as a national actor, there are some explanations for why can be pleased about strong order bookings, despite reports of storm clouds on the horizon.

During the quarter, we saw a continued demand for housing, both from public and private clients in all of our regions. Here, I want to particularly highlight the housing market in Region South that we note continued to be strong. A good example is our Magasinhusen project in Landskrona where we are now beginning a third phase after virtually all 99 tenant-owner apartments in the projects were sold in advance.

During the quarter, we also signed several agreements regarding public service properties. Particularly noteworthy in

this context is the framework agreement with Specialfastigheter and the new aquatics center in Linköping. The latter is an example of a kind of facility in short supply that many municipalities throughout Sweden have a need for.

Order bookings in the second quarter amounted to SEK 2,663 million (1,328), an increase of 100 percent compared with the corresponding quarter of the preceding year. We note that our order backlog of SEK 7,149 million (7,398), which despite it in this quarter being slightly lower than the same time last year, is again developing positively. For us, this is evidence that we are competitive even in a declining economy and that we will continue to be selective in our order bookings. Even if it can have a major impact on individual quarters, our strategy is correct on the long term.

Our largest business area Construction is reporting improved figures and stabilized profitability in the quarter. Sales amounted to SEK 1,498 million (1,437), which is a growth of 4 percent compared with the second quarter of last year, and an operating margin of 2.7 percent (2.9).

In our other contracting operation, Civil Engineering, we also note growth in the quarter of 6 percent. With the national infrastructure investments ahead of us, we see a market for the business area that remains strong. The fact that the operating margin for Civil Engineering ends up at a negative 1.5 percent (positive: 1.1) is partly attributable to us investing to be able to meet aforementioned investments.

During the quarter, we carried out a reorganization that entails a merger of Business Area Project Development and Business Area Property Management with the aim of utilizing our resources more optimally and obtaining more efficient processes in the development of our own projects. The loss for the period of SEK 14 million reflects the fact that no transactions were carried out during the period.

GROUP DEVELOPMENT

ORDER BOOKINGS AND ORDER BACKLOG

Order bookings in the second quarter amounted to SEK 2,663 million (1,328), an increase of more than 100 percent compared with the corresponding quarter of the preceding year. Order bookings for the period were mainly attributable to Construction and comprise several housing production projects, as well as public service properties. Order bookings for the quarter have a broad geographic spread and the largest project was a contract for an aquatics center in Linköping with an order value of SEK 820 million.

Demand in the Swedish construction market is deemed to remain stable and there is an underlying need

for both housing and public service properties even if housing construction in total is expected to decrease in 2019. Stockholm, Gothenburg and Malmö and their environs continue to be the Group's most important markets, even though the Group is expanding geographically to regional growth regions. New establishments occurred in Karlstad and Linköping during the quarter.

The Group's order backlog at the end of the second quarter amounted to SEK 7,149 million (7,398).

APRIL-JUNE 2019

Consolidated income amounted to SEK 1,616 million (1,681), a decrease of 4 percent. The quarter was marked by a high level of activity in the Karlastaden Project and internal tenant-owner apartment projects, which affected the comparative figures negatively during the quarter as the previous years were recognized as external projects. These two factors have not been fully compensated by other growth in the Group. Within Business Area Construction, income increased by 4 percent and in Civil Engineering it increased by 6 percent. Project Development, which after the merger consists of both Project Development and Property Management, reports reduced income by 78 percent. During the quarter, no tenant-owner housing projects were turned over to the customer.

Operating profit decreased during the quarter, and amounted to SEK 0 million (74). Construction generated a profit of SEK 40 million (42), while Civil Engineering and Project Development had losses for the period.

Net financial items were negative in the amount of SEK 3 million (16). In the previous year, early redemption of bonds affected net financial items by a negative SEK 12 million.

The Group reported an estimated tax income of SEK 1 million (expense: 10). The positive tax effect is attributable partly to the Group not having taxable income and a change in deferred tax related to tax loss carryforwards.

Profit for the period amounted to SEK -2 million (48) and earnings per share after dilution for the quarter were SEK -0.09 (2.05).

JANUARY-JUNE 2019

Consolidated income for the first half of the year amounted to SEK 3,096 million (3,166), a decrease of 2 percent. A high level of activity at Construction and Civil Engineering entailed higher income for both business areas, however. Construction increased sales by 5 percent and Civil Engineering by 9 percent. Project Development reported lower income and in the first half of the year, no major property transactions were carried out and no housing projects were turned over to the customer.

Operating profit decreased during the first half of the year, and amounted to SEK 18 million (126). Construction generated an operating profit of SEK 66 million (77), providing an operating margin of 2.3 percent (2.9). Civil Engineering and Project Development reported losses in the first half of the year.

Net financial items were negative in the amount of SEK 13 million (19). In the previous year, early redemption of bonds affected net financial items by a negative SEK 12 million. Other changes pertain primarily to higher costs for non-current interest-bearing liabilities.

The Group reported an estimated tax income of SEK 3 million (expense: 20). The positive tax effect is attributable partly to the Group not having taxable income and a change in deferred tax related to tax loss carryforwards.

Profit for the period amounted to SEK 8 million (87) and earnings per share after dilution for the period were SEK 0.35 (3.71).

THE GROUP'S GROWTH AND PROFITABILITY TARGETS

Serneke's long-term growth target is to reach income of SEK 10 billion by 2020, primarily through organic growth supplemented with selective acquisitions.

In the first half of 2018, a reversal of SEK 20 million was done with regard to a reservation for a dispute the outcome of which was in the Serneke's favor.

Seasonal variations

To a certain extent, Serneke's operations are subject to seasonal effects. The contracting operations (Business Areas Construction and Civil Engineering) normally experience lower activity in the first quarter of the year

due to fewer production days and, to a greater extent than normal, the weather during the winter months. Earnings are also affected by where public holidays fall, as this affects the number of production days.

As at June 30, net debt amounted to SEK 1,334 million (552). Net borrowing in relation to EBITDA is at 2.6 (0.9) and the change in net borrowing is mainly an increase in interest-bearing liabilities attributable to now consolidated tenant-owner apartment projects and lower cash and cash equivalents.

APRIL-JUNE 2019

Income amounted to SEK 201 million (190), an increase of 6 percent. During the quarter, there has been a good production rate in existing projects, but the growth rate is decreasing compared with earlier quarters as an effect of a lower order backlog.

Operating profit amounted to SEK -3 million (2) and the operating margin was -1.5 percent (1.1). Profit was negatively impacted by the higher expenses attributable to expansion investments, which have a negative effect when the growth figures decline. Investment also continued in a stake on railways, which entailed costs that impacted the quarter.

Order bookings amounted to SEK 139 million (328). A high production rate combined with lower order bookings led to the lower order backlog. The Karlastaden Project was also included in the order backlog last year. The market for Civil Engineering continues to look strong and we see no signs of a slowdown. During the quarter, we submitted many tenders and are participating in several procurement processes. Order bookings need to be viewed over multiple quarters to be accurate.

FINANCIAL TARGET

The long-term target in Business Area Civil Engineering is an operating margin of 5 percent. The operating margin for the rolling 12 months was 0.4 percent.

JANUARY-JUNE 2019

Income amounted to SEK 401 million (369), an increase of 9 percent.

* Changes in value of properties refers to changes in value of the investment properties that were previously recognized in Business Area Property Management and in this quarter were reclassified to project and development properties.

APRIL-JUNE 2019

Income amounted to SEK 26 million (116). The lower income is mainly attributable to changed accounting policies from January 1, 2019, which have had a negative effect on income in an amount of SEK 68 million and SEK 10 million on operating profit during the quarter. During the quarter, no tenant-owner housing projects were turned over to the customer.

At the end of the quarter, the business area had a total of five productions under way, including one through a joint venture, comprising a total of 198 homes of which 173 or 87 percent are sold. During the fourth quarter, 33 homes are expected to be turned over to the customer while the remaining homes are expected to be turned over in 2020.

The share in the profit of associates and joint ventures amounted to SEK 3 million (1).

Operating profit amounted to SEK -14 million (36).

JANUARY-JUNE 2019

Income amounted to SEK 55 million (199). The decrease is mainly attributable to changed accounting policies, which have had a negative effect on income in an amount of SEK 109 million and SEK 16 million on operating profit during the first quarter.

The share in the profit of associates and joint ventures amounted to SEK 5 million (loss: 1).

Operating profit amounted to SEK -23 million (35).

The total book value of the project development portfolio amounted to SEK 3,253 million (305) as at June 30, 2019. Of this, the holding of the Karlastaden project amounted to SEK 2,255 million, which largely explains the increase from the previous year. Even previously reported investment properties of SEK 217 million were reclassified during the quarter to project and development properties.

SIGNIFICANT RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

Serneke's operations entail several types of risks, both operational and financial. Operational risks are related to the daily operations and can apply to tenders or project development, assessment of profits, risks linked to production or the price trend. Operational risks are managed by the internal business management that has been developed within the Group. Identifying and managing Serneke's risks is crucial to the Group's profitability. Each business area manages its risks based on the business management and developed procedures and processes. Serneke's financial risks such as interest rate, liquidity, financing and credit risks are managed centrally in order to minimize and control risk exposure.

For further information on risks, as well as critical estimates and assessments, see the Board of Directors' Report and Notes 3 and 4 in the 2018 Annual Report. The descriptions in the Annual Report remain relevant. The Annual Report is published at www.serneke.group.

OTHER SIGNIFICANT EVENTS DURING THE REPORT PERIOD

Serneke combines business areas

Serneke is streamlining and combining its earlier business areas of Project Development and Property Management. The purpose of the merger is a better resource utilization and more efficient process in the development of the property business.

In connection with the merger of the business areas, the Board conducted a review of the strategic focus of the Group's properties. All properties in Business Area Project Development are classified as project and development properties, current assets, while those in Property Management were classified as investment properties, non-current assets. The new strategic focus means that the intention with all properties is that they are to be sold within the near future after completion, and the earlier investment properties have thereby been reclassified to project and development properties and valued in accordance with IAS 2 Inventories. The total reclassification amounted to SEK 217 million and has not entailed any effect on profit.

Serneke Group AB has two share series, Series A and B. On June 30, 2019, Serneke had approximately 7,300 shareholders and the closing price on June 30, 2019 was SEK 55.

NOTES

NOTE 1 - Accounting policies

This Interim Report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting. The Interim Report has been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), as well as interpretations of current International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) standards as adopted by the EU. The Parent Company's reports have been prepared in compliance with the Annual Accounts Act and the Financial Reporting Board's recommendation RFR 2, Accounting for Legal Entities. ESMA's guidelines on alternative key indicators are applied in the report.

The Group has acquired and sold assets through companies with these acquisitions/disposals not being considered to be acquisitions/disposals of operations. IFRS lacks specific guidance for such transactions. The Group has therefore, in adopting an accounting policy that provides a fair picture of these transactions and reflects their implications, sought guidance in other standards addressing similar transactions, in accordance with IAS 8. Against this background, the Group has chosen to apply the relevant parts of the standard for business combinations, IFRS 3, in accounting for acquisitions and sales of assets through companies.

Implementation of new accounting standards

IFRS 16 Leasing

In January 2016, IASB published the new standard IFRS 16 Leases, which was approved by the EU in November 2017 and will be applied from the 2019 financial year. In contrast to the current IAS 17 Leases, the standard means that Serneke as a lessee in operating leases, except for exceptions for small and short leases, must recognize the leases in the Statement of financial position. Serneke applies IFRS 16 Leases as of January 1, 2019 and has accordingly not applied the standard retroactively. The recognized right of use (ROU) assets were assigned the same value as the recognized leasing liabilities as of January 1, 2019. Serneke's assessment is that the transition to IFRS 16 will not have any material impact on the Groups position and performance or cash flow statement. In its capacity as lessee, Serneke conducted a detailed review and analysis of the Group's leases, whereby rental agreements were identified as the single most significant. In addition to rental agreements, a number of smaller leases were identified, such as vehicles, machinery and construction equipment. The effect on the leasing liability as of January 1, 2019 amounted to SEK

103 million where a corresponding ROU asset is recognized.

In addition, the Interim Report has been prepared in accordance with the same accounting principles and calculation methods as in the Annual Report for 2018. For detailed information regarding accounting policies, see Serneke's 2018 Annual Report, see www.serneke.se.

NOTE 2 - Financial assets and liabilities at fair value

Financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value in the balance sheet are classified according to one of three levels based on the information used to establish the fair value. The Group only holds financial assets and liabilities valued in level 3, which is why levels 1 and 2 have been omitted in the table below. No transfers have been made between the levels during the periods. A more detailed description of the levels can be found in Note 4 of the 2018 Annual Report.

Level 1 - Valuation is made according to prices in active markets for identical instruments.

Level 2 - Financial instruments for which the fair value is established based on valuation models that are based on observable data for the asset or liability other than quoted prices included in Level 1.

Level 3 – Financial instruments for which fair value is established based on valuation models where significant inputs are based on non-observable data.

For the Group's other financial assets and financial liabilities, the reported values are assessed as corresponding to FAIR VALUE. No significant changes in valuation models, assumptions or inputs were made during the period.

Note 3 Pledged assets and contingent liabilities

The Group pledges collateral for external loans. The Group's contingent liabilities arise primarily in connection with different property disposals, whereby various operational guarantees may occur, as well as performance guarantees for future contracts. Serneke Group AB (publ) has also

entered into a guarantee undertaking, which means that the co-owners in Prioritet Serneke Arena are jointly responsible for the correct fulfillment of interest and repayment of the associate's liabilities to credit institutions in the event that the associate is unable to pay.

Construction income

Income from contracting agreements are reported in accordance with IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers, either by fulfilling the performance undertaking over time (that is, gradually) or at one specific time. Construction contracts mean that the construction is performed on the customer's land, where an asset is created over which the customer gains control in pace with the completion of the asset. This entails income being recognized gradually (over time), applying percentage-of-completion. When applying percentageof-completion, the input method applies whereby income is reported based on the degree of completion, The stage of completion is calculated as the relationship between contract expenses incurred for work completed at the end of the reporting period, and estimated total contract expenses. Revaluations of the project's final forecasts entail corrections of previously accumulated earnings. If it is probable that the total contract expenses will exceed the total contract income, the anticipated loss should be immediately recognized as a cost in its entirety. Additional orders and amendments are included in the income from the assignment to the extent that they are approved by the customer.

Sale of properties and development rights

On disposal of properties or development rights directly or indirectly through a sale of shares, the underlying property or development right's value is recognized in the Group as income. Income from property sales is reported at the time at which the new owner takes possession. When contracts include property sales, development rights and construction contracting to the buyer of the planned building, an assessment is made regarding whether the property and/or development rights transactions and the construction contract are separate performance undertakings. Depending on the design and terms of the agreement, the sale can be seen as one or several performance undertakings. Sales are reported at the point in time at which control is transferred to the buyer.

Control is transferred over time if the seller has no alternative use for the property sold and the seller is entitled to payment from the customer for the work performed. In such cases, income is reported applying percentage of completion. If any of the above criteria are not met, income is reported at a single point in time, on completion and transfer to the customer.

Sales of development rights can be dependent upon decisions regarding future detailed development plans. An assessment is then made as to the probability of the respective detailed development plan. Sales income and earnings are recognized when the probability is deemed to be very high. When sales income is recognized, all remaining commitments in the sales earnings are also taken into account. Property projects are also on occasion sold with guarantees for a certain degree of leasing and, at the time of sale, any lease guarantees are reported as a reserve in the project, which then has a positive effect on the percentage of completion as leases are signed.

Rental income

Income also includes rental income, which is to be considered as operating leases under IAS 17. Rental income is invoiced in advance and recognized on a straight-line basis in the income statement based on the terms of the lease agreements. Advance rent is reported as prepaid rental income. In cases where the rental contract allows a reduced rent for a certain period of time, which is compensated for by higher rent during another period, this is allocated across the term of the contract.

Other income

Other income refers to income not classified as construction income, sales of properties and development rights or rental income, including, for example, hotel income or income from central companies.
