Strong housing sales to private customers for NCC


Up to November 21, 2014, NCC has sold a total of 3,857 (3,235) housing units to
private customers during the year. Thanks to these strong sales figures, NCC has
started additional housing projects. NCC has had 634 housing starts since the
end of September. These figures were announced at NCC’s Capital Market Day on
Tuesday.
NCC’s Capital Market Day on Tuesday focused on housing production and
development and on the NCC Construction Sweden and NCC Construction Denmark
business areas. A housing policy debate was organized in connection with the
Capital Market Day.

“We are extremely gratified to have already surpassed last year’s total strong
housing sales. Market conditions are favorable in most of our key markets, such
as Germany, Russia and Sweden. A large number of housing starts in the autumn
have taken place in these markets, but we have also started projects in Norway,
Denmark and Finland,” says Joachim Hallengren, Business Area Manager of NCC
Housing.

NCC’s President and CEO Peter Wågström commented on the corporate strategy
through 2015 and reiterated the market outlook as published in the most recent
interim report on October 24.

The construction market in Sweden performed positively in October and November.
Demand for housing contracts is favorable, although delays to infrastructure
initiatives are giving rise to uncertainty for the future. Orders received for
NCC Construction Sweden improved year-on-year to SEK 20,036 million (16,540) for
January-October and the order backlog amounted on October 31 to SEK 20,011
million (16,690).

“We have strengthened our position in 2014 and increased both orders received
and the order backlog. At the same time, it is taking longer to convert orders
received into sales, which has led to a low work-up rate. We have also
established an organization to enable us to be competitive when the coming
infrastructure initiatives come to fruition. As a result, we have incurred
additional costs in our tendering work. We have had a new organization in place
since the start of the year, and we have initiated a number of short and long
-term measures to boost profitability, but it will take several quarters for
these efforts to generate visible effects,” says Svante Hagman, Business Area
Manager of NCC Construction Sweden.

Overall, the Danish construction market is expected to be stable in 2015, with
investments in line with 2014. The housing market is expected to grow in
Copenhagen and Aarhus.

“We expect public-sector demand to remain strong in 2015. In Denmark, an
increased focus on energy refurbishment, climate adjustments and infrastructure
is noticeable,” says Klaus Kaae, Business Area Manager of NCC Construction
Denmark.
