Construction continues its steady path of profitability improvement

Anders Danielsson,
President and Chief Executive Officer
During the third quarter, we experienced a partial recovery from the initial impacts of the pandemic. In our operations, the Construction stream continues its steady path of profitability improvement. In Residential Development, volumes were strong and in Commercial Property Development investor interest in our developments is promising but leasing is challenging. Our cash generation and balance sheet remain strong. Prior to the end of the third quarter, the Board of Directors proposed a dividend that was approved at an Extraordinary general meeting and was distributed to our shareholders in October.
In our construction operations, where we employ tens of thousands of people, I am very proud of how we have handled the pandemic, avoiding major production disruptions. Financially, we continue to improve profitability, despite a lower revenue, due to an improved gross margin and cost control. The lower revenue is to some extent a result of Covid-19 disruptions and customers' decisions to postpone the ramp-up of new projects, but also a result of our strategic actions to focus our operations and be more selective in our bidding in order to improve profitability. The order bookings have been negatively impacted for the same reasons. Our strategy remains to be selective in our bidding, and to make sure we build an order backlog with a favorable balance of risk and return for the long-term.
In Residential Development, the volumes picked up significantly during the third quarter and the profitability was kept at a solid level. We divested a significant portfolio of rental apartments, proving the benefit of having a diversified portfolio to offer the market. Despite the uncertainty in the economic outlook, consumer confidence picked up remarkably after the summer. Longer term, the outlook is more uncertain, as unemployment rates have increased. It remains to be seen where these rates will stabilize. There is, however, still a structural shortage of housing in many of our markets.
In Commercial Property Development, the economic uncertainty has a negative impact. On the leasing market, tenants remain hesitant to sign new leases. During the latter part of the third quarter, tenant activity started to pick up somewhat. When it comes to divestments, transactions are still few in our markets, but we are experiencing good investor interest in our high-quality pipeline of development projects. The smaller divestments made in the third quarter were made at strong profitability levels and yields remain at a pre-Covid-19 level.
This pandemic is putting an immense strain on our societies. We at Skanska are doing our outmost to contribute to building a better society through our day to day activities. Our talented and dedicated people have navigated this pandemic at all of our sites and offices in a responsible and impressive way. We will continue to work in line with our strategy, which we believe is the best way to generate an industry-leading total shareholder return; improve profitability in Construction by reducing costs and risks, improve commercial management and grow Project Development while maintaining a strong balance sheet.

Citygate, Gothenburg, Sweden
Skanska has signed a 10-year lease agreement with its own Gothenburg operations to move into just over 5,300 square meters in the Citygate office project in Gårda, Gothenburg, Sweden. The occupancy will begin take place during the summer of 2022. The office building with its strong sustainability profile will be 36 storeys high, corresponding to 144 meters, and a total leasable area of approximately 42,000 square meters. To create additional positive imprint in connection with the project, Skanska, together with the City of Gothenburg, has developed sustainability initiatives where the project takes extensive social responsibility to promote employment among young adults in the neighbourhood. For example, the project has extensive collaborations with schools regarding programs for mentoring and homework assistance. This is a project that also creates healthy workplaces with the ambition to certify according to WELL and LEED.

Construction
Covid-19 still creates uncertainty, predominantly in the UK and the USA. Disruption to the supply chain of equipment, materials and subcontractors is still impacting negatively to some extent. The most common factor disrupting the productivity is the social distance requirements. There is a lower demand from the private clients, especially in commercial and residential building construction. Public spending into social infrastructure and infrastructure is keeping up and is expected to do so, even though some decisions currently are being postponed. Funding could be a challenge as a lot of public budgets are now being consumed to fight the pandemic and stimulate the economies. In the UK, Brexit adds an extra uncertainty to the construction market. In the USA, competition in civil construction is increasing.

Residential Development
Low interest rate policies to support a recovery in the economies are improving affordability which strengthens the consumer confidence and the housing market which in many areas are experiencing a housing shortage as new developments have slowed significantly. The risk of increasing unemployment levels, as a consequence of an economic slowdown due to the pandemic, could potentially impact demand negatively. To some extent, a structural shortage of housing in many of our markets could mitigate that situation.

Commercial Property Development
Transactions and new developments have been reduced due to the market uncertainty. The credit market has however recovered and remains stable. Investor appetite for high quality developments is expected to be solid at about current yield levels. Leasing has slowed significantly, partly due to tenant uncertainty but also practical issues when showing available spaces to potential tenants. The activity is expected to recover but there will likely be a change in demand and behaviors in the office market.

Adjusted equity, less standard tax of 10 percent
The Group's equity amounted to SEK 35.7 billion (30.3), resulting in an equity/assets ratio of 27.8 percent (23.6) and a net debt/equity ratio of 0.0 (0.5). The absence of a dividend pay-out and higher profit contributed positively in the reporting period.
Translation differences amounted to SEK -1,070 M (1,463).
The effects of remeasurements of pensions amounted to SEK -1,221 M (-1,784). This can be explained by lower discount rates in Sweden, Norway and the UK.
Unrealized surplus values in Project Development including the PPP-portfolio amounted to SEK 13.2 billion of which SEK 0.5 billion was realized according to segment reporting. Corresponding amounts less standard tax were SEK 11.9 billion and SEK 0.5 billion.

Revenue in the Construction business stream decreased 9 percent and amounted to SEK 106.3 billion (117.2); adjusted for currency effects revenue decreased by 8 percent. This is to some extent related to Covid-19 disruptions, mainly in Europe and USA, and decisions by clients to postpone ramp-up of new projects. But it is also a result of the strategic actions to focus the operations and be more selective in bidding in order to improve profitability. These effects have to some extent coincided with each other. The operating margin was 2.3 percent (2.3) and for the third quarter 3.0 percent (2.8). Operating income decreased 10 percent and amounted to SEK 2,416 M (2,680); adjusted for currency effects operating income decreased by 9 percent. The operating income for the Nordics in the comparable period was positively impacted by SEK 196 M related to awarded damages by the Court of Appeal in the legal case Follo EPC Oslo S, Norway.

Accounting Principles
For the Group, this interim report has been prepared in compliance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting, the Annual Accounts Act and the Securities Market Act. For the Parent Company, the interim report has been prepared in compliance with the Annual Accounts Act, the Securities Market Act, and Swedish Financial Reporting Board's Recommendation RFR 2.
As of January 1, 2020, the Group applies the amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 attributable to the Interest Rate Benchmark Reform. In connection with the reform, the amendment provides temporary relief regarding specific requirements when hedge accounting is applied. The relief aims to ensure that hedge accounting does not end in connection with the reform. The change has not had any significant impact on the Group's financial reports.
Relation between consolidated operating cash flow statement and consolidated cash flow statement
The difference between the operating cash flow statement and the summary cash flow statement in compliance with IAS 7 Cash flow Statements, is presented in the Annual and Sustainability Report 2019, Note 35.
Segment and IFRS reporting
Skanska's business streams Construction, Residential Development and Commercial Property Development represent the group's operating segments. Tables in this report that refer to segment reporting are shown with a shaded background. In certain cases, the segment reporting differs from the consolidated results presented in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, IFRS.
Construction includes both building construction and civil construction. Revenues and earnings are reported over time for both segment and IFRS reporting.
Residential Development develops residential projects for immediate sale. Homes are adapted to selected customer categories. The units are responsible for planning and selling the projects. The related construction assignments are performed by Skanska's construction units in the Construction segment in each market. In the segment reporting Residential Development recognizes revenue and earnings when contracts are signed for the sale of homes. In the IFRS reporting revenues are instead recognized when the buyer takes possession of the homes.
Commercial Property Development initiates, develops, leases and divests commercial property projects. In most markets the construction assignments are performed by Skanska's Construction segment. In the segment reporting Commercial Property Development recognizes revenue and earnings when contracts are signed for the sale of the properties. In the IFRS reporting revenues are instead recognized when the buyer takes possession of the property.
Joint ventures are reported under the proportional method in the segment reporting of Residential Development, whereas all other streams/operating segments apply the equity method.
Intra-Group pricing between operating segments occurs on market terms.
The Parent Company in a Swedish Group prepares its accounts in compliance with the Swedish Financial Reporting Board's Recommendation RFR 2 Accounting for Legal Entities ("RFR 2"). According to RFR 2, the annual accounts of the legal entity must apply IFRS as far as this is possible within the framework of the Annual Accounts Act and considering the connection between accounting and taxation.

Auditors' Review Report concerning this interim report
Introduction
We have reviewed the condensed interim report for Skanska AB (publ.) as at September 30, 2020 and for the nine months period then ended. The Board of Directors and the Managing Director are responsible for the preparation and presentation of this interim report in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim report based on our review.
Scope of review
We conducted our review in accordance with the International Standard on Review Engagements, ISRE 2410 Review of Interim Financial Statements Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity. A review consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing and other generally accepted auditing standards in Sweden. The procedures performed in a review do not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Conclusion
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim report is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act regarding the Group, and in accordance with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act regarding the Parent Company.
