Order situation

Implementation of IFRS 15 Revenue from contracts with customers entails new disclosure demands which will be presented in the Annual Report 2018. One of the disclosure demands refers to remaining performance obligations, more often called order backlog. In quarterly reports Peab has previously chosen to present information on orders received and order backlog in business areas Construction, Civil Engineering and Project Development. As of 2018 Industry presents orders received and order backlog for product areas Asphalt, Construction System and part of Rentals as well. In the other product areas in Industry contracts are usually short and therefore orders received and order backlog are not presented for them. Comparable figures regarding orders received and order backlog have been recalculated for 2017.

October- December 2018

Orders received for the fourth quarter 2018 amounted to SEK 10,451 million compared to SEK 13,039 million for the last year. The orders received are well spread geographically and there is good product diversity.

January – December 2018

Orders received for 2018 amounted to SEK 51,087 million compared to SEK 48,999 million for the last year. The level of orders received has risen in business area Construction and Civil Engineering but contracted in Project Development. Included in orders received for business area Construction is the office project Platinan in Gothenburg for Vasakronan worth SEK 2,100 million. Included in orders received for business area Civil Engineering is the extension of the west Sweden railroad system at Olskroken in Gothenburg, worth SEK 2,900 million, for the Swedish Transport Administration. There have been fewer orders received in business area Project Development as a result of fewer housing production starts. The Group’s orders received in the period are well spread geographically and there is good product diversity.

Order backlog yet to be produced at the end of the year increased to SEK 45,819 million compared to SEK 40,205 million at the end of the last year. Of the total order backlog, 33 percent (34) is expected to be produced after 2019 (2018). Swedish operations accounted for 84 percent (86) of the order backlog.
