NCC reports strong earnings from housingdevelopment business in fourth quarter
of 2011

Operating profit for NCC Housing, one of NCC’s business areas, totaled
preliminary SEK 550 M (83) in the fourth quarter of 2011, which was
significantly higher than expected.*

Since 2010, NCC has been reporting earnings pursuant to IFRIC 15, which entails,
among other, that profit from the sales of housing units will not be recognized
until the housing unit has been completed and handed over to the customer. In
the fourth quarter of 2011, NCC handed over a large number of housing units at a
margin that was higher than that on the housing units recognized in profit
earlier in the year.

Other figures for the fourth quarter will be presented in NCC’s year-end report,
which will be published on Wednesday, February 1, 2012.

*The average estimate, according to SME’s latest compilation, is SEK 268 M and
the median is SEK 226 M.
