Interim report for the fourth quarter and full-year 2022
Stable end to the year
“2022 was more challenging than expected, but we are nonetheless well-equipped for the future, with a good order backlog, healthy demand in many segments, many stable businesses and a strong financial position”, says Tomas Carlsson, President and CEO, NCC.
- Orders received lower, within natural variation, strong order backlog
- Lower operating profit for the full year, primarily driven by Industry and Building Sweden, also by Building Nordics during the quarter
- One property sale recognized in profit during the quarter
- Good cash flow before financing for the quarter, but negative for the full year, driven by lower earnings and fewer property projects recognized in profit
- Earnings per share SEK 10.29, compared with the target of SEK 16.00 per share in 2023
- The Board of Directors has proposed a dividend of SEK 6.00 per share (6.00) for 2022, to be paid on two occasions, see page 14 in the report
