Well-positioned with a strategy that pays off

Performance in the second quarter was strong. Construction continues to improve across all business units, Residential Development maintains high activity and profitability levels, and Commercial Property Development delivers strong development gains. We are well-positioned, able to pursue profitable opportunities and stand steady in times of uncertainty. We remain committed to society's sustainable economic recovery, which will generate market opportunities and add value to our shareholders, people, and other stakeholders.
During this quarter, Skanska joined the climate initiative, Leadership Group for Industry Transition, which is comprised of countries and leading companies committed to taking action to achieve the objectives of the Paris Agreement. This will enable us to further accelerate our efforts toward climate neutrality. Since 2015 we have reduced our own carbon footprint by more than 40 percent.
In Construction, our strategy continues to pay off as profitability improves in all our business units. Being selective in our bidding and focusing on commercial management are the key elements driving this progress. The pandemic has impacted revenue negatively, but market activity is now improving, and order bookings and order backlogs are increasing. With our home market approach that uses our local expertise to drive our bidding strategy, we are ensuring high-quality growth.
In Residential Development, activity and profitability remain high thanks to solid project performance. The amount of sold and started homes increased, and the number of homes under production is also growing. Our sales rate is high and due to a shortage of homes in many of our markets, combined with current strong demand, we are focused on starting new projects. The greatest challenges in starting new projects relate to the slow zoning processes in our markets.
Commercial Property Development had a relatively muted quarter in terms of divestments, but the development gains were at attractive levels and the investor appetite remains strong. The leasing market is still negatively impacted by tenant uncertainty due to the pandemic. However, we clearly see an increase in activity and are expecting this trend to continue. We started new developments in both Sweden and the USA during the second quarter. In Seattle we started our largest development ever, an office building targeting the highest environmental standard. This is our sixth development in Seattle and our ambition is to responsibly grow our Commercial Property Development business - especially in the USA.
Overall, market uncertainty is starting to decrease, and activity is picking up in our markets. With higher activity levels, we are noticing bottlenecks and shortages of certain materials in the supply chain, causing price increases and increased price volatility. With our experience, robust organization, proven strategy to strengthen commercial management and be more selective in the bidding process, we are well-positioned to manage these uncertainties. In combination with our strong financial position, we look ahead with confidence in both our Construction and Project Development operations.

Fit for a brighter future and smoother commute
Moynihan Train Hall, New York City, USA
The redevelopment of New York City's iconic James A. Farley Post Office Building into the new 21st century Moynihan Train Hall has brought light to the concourse for the first time in more than 50 years. Completed earlier this year, the 225,000-square-foot bright and modern extension of Penn Station has increased the total floor space by up to 50 percent with improved passenger facilities, ticketing and waiting areas, security, and retail spaces. The 650,000 daily commuters now have access to nine platforms and 17 tracks serving the Long Island Rail Road and Amtrak, as well as a direct connection to the Eighth Avenue Subway - and for the first time ever, a new entrance to the station complex on Ninth Avenue. The centerpiece is the 28-meter high barrel-vaulted skylight that traverses the entire space - much like the original Penn Station did in 1910 - restoring its grandeur. A first, significant step in New York Governor Andrew M. Cuomo's vision for the Empire Station Complex, the Moynihan Train Hall has been granted the Lucy G. Moses Preservation Award - one of the highest honors for excellence in the restoration, preservation, or adaptive use of historic buildings, streetscapes, and landscapes.

Construction
The negative impact from the pandemic is still present in our markets but the activity is increasing as uncertainty is starting to decrease. Non-residential construction has been impacted the most but is slightly improving while residential construction is stable. The public spending into social infrastructure and infrastructure is keeping up relatively well, even though some decisions are being postponed. Funding could be a challenge as public budgets are decreasing due to lower tax revenue and being consumed to fight the pandemic and to stimulate the economies. At the same time, ambitious investment plans are under development in many of our markets, but lead-times are expected to be long.

Residential Development
Low interest rate policies to support a recovery in the economies are improving affordability which strengthens the consumer confidence. The housing market is experiencing a shortage as new developments have slowed significantly, even though increased activity among developers have been noted. 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
The number of transactions and new developments have decreased due to the market uncertainty. The credit market is however stable. Investor appetite for high quality developments is expected to be solid at about current yield levels. Leasing remains slow due to tenant uncertainty, but the activity is starting to pick up and expected to recover.

The dividend proposal approved at the AGM in the first quarter was distributed during the second quarter.

Free working capital in Construction
Free working capital in Construction amounted to SEK 26.2 billion (25.2). The average free working capital in relation to Construction revenue in the past 12 months was 19.6 percent, partly driven by lower volumes. Free working capital in Construction remained at a good level due to favorable cash flow profiles in several projects and continued focus on cash generation in the Construction stream. Cash flow due to changes in working capital in Construction amounted to SEK -46 M (-902).

Translation differences amounted to SEK 760 M (-662) as a result of a weaker Swedish krona.
The effects of remeasurements of pensions amounted to SEK 1,944 M (123). This is mainly explained by higher discount rate in Sweden, Norway and the UK but also higher return on plan assets for all three countries.

Revenue in the Construction business stream decreased 14 percent and amounted to SEK 61.7 billion (71.9); adjusted for currency effects revenue decreased by 8 percent.

But it is also a remaining impact of the strategic actions to focus the operations and be more selective in bidding in order to improve profitability. The operating margin was 3.6 percent (1.9). Operating income increased 63 percent and amounted to SEK 2,232 M (1,366); adjusted for currency effects operating income increased by 74 percent. All business units improved the profitability. Operating income in Europe includes a gain of SEK 370 M related to the divestment of the infrastructure services business in the UK.

Material risks and uncertainties
For information about risks and a description of key estimates and judgments, see the Annual and Sustainability Report 2020, pages 51-56, Note 2 and 6, as well as the section above on market outlook. Covid-19 and its effects on real economies will create uncertainty and risks for some time.
The Swedish Mark- och miljööverdomstolen, Land and the Environmental Court of Appeal, has rejected a permission-renewal to quarry limestone for a main supplier of cement to the Swedish construction industry. A halt to the supply would impact the Swedish construction industry negatively. The final outcome and consequences to this rejection is still uncertain and Skanska monitors the situation closely and assesses risks and mitigating actions.

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.

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.
