Q1 2024 First quarter results

Highlights of the first quarter 2024

Selvaag Bolig delivered 179 units with satisfactory results in the first quarter of 2024, given today's market conditions. The company delivered more units than in the corresponding period last year, but operating revenues were lower because the share of units from joint ventures was higher. Selvaag Bolig completed more units than were started, which led to a decline in the number of units under construction. The market for new homes in the quarter remained challenging and Selvaag Bolig's net sales in the first quarter ended at 139 units, compared to 116 units in the same period last year.

  • Operating revenues1NOK 628 million (734)
  • Adjusted EBITDA3 NOK 106 million (110) and ordinary EBITDA2 NOK 68 million (88)
  • Pre-tax profit of NOK 67 million (86)
  • 139 units sold6 (116) and construction started on 123 units (five)
  • 236 units completed (161) and 179 delivered (150)
  • A total of 671 units under construction at 31 March (1 097), with a combined sales value of NOK 3 948 million (NOK 5 641 million)
  • 62 per cent of units under construction sold (69 per cent) at end of quarter. 75 per cent of units being completed in 2024 have been sold (80)

Results for the first quarter of 2024

(Figures in brackets relate to the corresponding period of 2023. The figures are unaudited.)

Selvaag Bolig had operating revenues of NOK 627.7 million (NOK 734.2 million) in the first quarter. Revenues from units delivered accounted for NOK 607.1 million (NOK 717.4 million) of the total. Other revenues derived from non-core activities, mainly provision of services.

A total of 179 units (150) were delivered in the quarter, including 127 (137) from consolidated project companies and 52 (13) were from joint ventures.

Project costs for the quarter totalled NOK 515.9 million (NOK 579.9 million), of which NOK 38.2 million (NOK 22.0 million) represented previously capitalised financial expenses. Total project expenses primarily represented construction costs for units delivered as well as costs in projects which do not qualify for capitalisation as inventory.

Operating costs excluding project costs totalled NOK 63.1 million (NOK 60.1 million) for the period. Payroll costs accounted for NOK 32.3 million (NOK 29.0 million) of this figure. In addition, NOK 5.3 million (NOK 4.8 million) in payroll costs relating to housing under construction were capitalised during the quarter and will be expensed as project costs on future delivery.

Other operating costs came to NOK 28.5 million (NOK 28.9 million) for the quarter, including NOK 10.8 million (NOK 10.0 million) for sales and marketing.

The share of profit from associates and joint ventures was NOK 16.9 million (negative at NOK 8.7 million) for the quarter. The improvement compared to the first quarter of the previous year was mainly due to more units delivered in joint ventures.

Reported EBITDA was NOK 67.9 million (NOK 87.7 million), corresponding to a margin of 10.8 per cent (11.9 per cent). EBITDA adjusted for the share of project costs that are financial expenses came to NOK 106.0 million (NOK 109.7 million), corresponding to a margin of 16.9 per cent (14.9 per cent). The improvement compared to first quarter of the previous year was mainly due to positive contributions from joint ventures. Results from joint ventures are reported net and thus their revenues are not included in the group's turnover. For more information, see note 8 on proportional consolidation.

Consolidated depreciation and amortisation totalled NOK 2.3 million (NOK 2.2 million) for the quarter. Operating profit thereby came to NOK 65.6 million (NOK 85.5 million).

Net financial income amounted to NOK 1.4 million (income of NOK 0.6 million). Pre-tax profit for the quarter came to NOK 67.0 million (NOK 86.0 million).

Tax expense for the period came to NOK 11.1 million (NOK 20.8 million). Comprehensive income for the first quarter

consequently came to NOK 55.9 million (NOK 65.2 million). NOK 55.9 million of the profit was attributable to the

shareholders of Selvaag Bolig ASA (NOK 65.2 million), and NOK 0.0 (0.0) to non-controlling shareholders.

Cash flow

Consolidated net cash flow from operational activities was NOK 147.3 million (NOK 39.5 million). The increase from the same period of 2023 was mainly due to more units delivered and a positive impact from net changes in inventory.

Net cash flow from investing activities was positive at NOK 29.2 million (negative at NOK 62.7 million) for the quarter. The change from the same period of 2023 primarily reflected that in 2023 payments related to financing of joint ventures were made, as well as that in the first quarter of 2024, dividends were received from joint ventures.

Net cash flow from financing activities was negative at NOK 234.6 million (negative at NOK 178.6 million) for the quarter. The change from the same period of 2023 primarily reflected lower issuance and increased repayment of construction loans.

The group's holding of cash and cash equivalents at 31 March totalled NOK 208.4 million (NOK 410.8 million), a decline of NOK 58.22 million from 31 December and a decline of NOK 202.5 million from a year earlier.

Financial position
The carrying amount of Selvaag Bolig's total inventory (land,
units under construction and completed units) at 31 March
was NOK 2 967.5 million, compared with NOK 3 199.5 million
at 31 December and NOK 4 161.4 million a year earlier. See
note 5 for a further specification of inventory.
Equity was NOK 2 362.9 million (NOK 2 415.9 million) at 31
March, corresponding to an equity ratio of 52.6 per cent (42.0
per cent). Non-controlling interests amounted to NOK 7.8
million (NOK 7.8 million) of equity.
The group's accounts receivable were NOK 81.8 million at the
end of the quarter. In comparison, accounts receivable were
NOK 60.2 million at the end of the previous quarter and NOK
104.3 million at the same time the year before. The increase
in the quarter was because many flats were delivered near
the end of the current quarter, so that payment was
postponed until the next quarter. These are considered
normal fluctuations and do not involve any credit risk as the
funds are in the client's account with the settlement
intermediary from the handover of the flat to the final
receipt of settlement.
Other current non-interest-bearing liabilities for the group
totalled NOK 267.4 million (NOK 444.7 million) at 31 March,
of which NOK 14.1 million (NOK 96.0 million) represented
advance payments from customers.
At 31 March, consolidated interest-bearing debt amounted to
NOK 1 196.7 million (NOK 2 339.2 million), of which 634.0
million (NOK 1 194.2 million) was non-current and NOK 562.7
million (NOK 1 145.0 million) was current. NOK 434.8 million
(NOK 587.2
million) of current debt was related to
repurchase agreements with and seller credits for Urban
Property. See note 7 for more information.

Financial position

The group had land loans totalling 95.0 million (NOK 204.7 million) at 31 March. This relatively low level reflects the fact that a large part of the properties is financed through Urban Property and classified as current liabilities, repurchase agreements and seller credits. Land loans are normally converted to construction loans in line with the progress of the respective development projects.

Selvaag Bolig ASA has a credit facility agreement of NOK 300 million with DNB, which matures in December 2025. The agreement contains financial covenants, see note 10. The group also has an annually renewed overdraft facility of NOK 150 million with the same bank. No drawings had been made against any of these facilities at 31 March.

Net interest-bearing debt 988 365 1 928 402 1 143 690

The group's interest-bearing debt falls primarily into four categories: 1) top-up loans, which are liabilities in parent company Selvaag Bolig ASA, 2) land loans, 3) repurchase agreements with Urban Property and 4) construction loans. At 31 March, the group had no top-up loans, land loans of NOK 95 million, repurchase agreements with Urban Property of NOK 435 million and total construction loans of NOK 667 million.

Interest-bearing debt at 31 March 2024 (NOK mill)

Interest costs on land loans are recognised in profit and loss until the site secures planning permission. They are capitalised against the site from the day the project secures planning permission, and recognised in profit and loss as part of the cost of sales when the units are delivered. Interest charges on construction loans are capitalised during the

construction period and recognised under cost of sales in the same way.

At 31 March, interest of NOK 38 million on land loans had been capitalised, while interest of NOK 57 million relating to land loans was recognised in profit and loss.

In connection with the Urban Property transaction in 2020, a large proportion of the group's land loans were redeemed and replaced with liabilities in the form of repurchase agreements with Urban Property. See note 7 for a description of the collaboration with Urban Property. This means that interest charges on land loans related to these sites, which are collectively designated Portfolio B, have been replaced by option premiums paid quarterly. These premiums are treated in the accounts in the same way as the land-loan interest charges, being capitalised as inventory and included in the cost of sales on delivery of completed units. Option premiums paid and capitalised for sites in Portfolio B came to NOK 5.9 million (NOK 4.9 million) for the first quarter.

Portfolio C comprises land which the group has the right or obligation to purchase from Urban Property in the future. See note 7 for more information. Provision for accrued option premiums is made quarterly as other long-term assets and other long-term liabilities respectively in Selvaag Bolig's consolidated accounts. The asset is reclassified as inventory when the land is taken over. Provision for and capitalisation of option premiums for portfolio C in the first quarter came to NOK 51.9 million (NOK 35.2 million). At 31 March, total provision and capitalisation came to NOK 383.4 million (NOK 209.6 million).

Operational reporting

Each project is followed up individually in daily operations, and operational reporting accordingly comprises one main segment – Housing development. Reporting also comprises the "Other" segment. The latter primarily includes service deliveries in completed Pluss projects as well as group administration not allocated to the main segment. Operational reporting utilises the percentage of completion method for recognising revenues and profit (NGAAP), which differs from the IFRS where profit is recognised on delivery. Note 4 to the financial statements presents segment information reconciled with the financial reporting figures (IFRS).

Housing development

This segment comprises all Selvaag Bolig's projects regardless of geographical location since each project is followed up individually.

Operating revenues from housing development for the first quarter were NOK 531.6 million (NOK 579.5 million). They derived from 16 projects (17) in production.

Operating costs, primarily for construction and sales, are directly related to the projects and amounted to NOK 451.1 million (NOK 474.2 million) for the first quarter. Construction

Other business - unallocated

The other business segment comprises a number of activities in the group which are not regarded as part of the core business on a stand-alone basis. It also includes administration and management which cannot be attributed directly to the projects and are accordingly not allocated to the housing development segment.

costs in the segment reporting are exclusive of directly related financial expenses (interest on construction loans). This differs from the IFRS accounts, where financial expenses are included in project costs on delivery.

EBITDA presents operating profit (loss) before depreciation, gain (loss), and share of profit (loss) from associates. It came to NOK 80.4 million (NOK 105.3 million) for the quarter, corresponding to a profit margin of 15.1 per cent (18.2 per cent).

Operating revenues for the segment in the first quarter came to NOK 15.8 million (NOK 15.7 million), while operating costs amounted to NOK 51.3 million (NOK 49.5 million). Costs relate largely to remuneration for the administration and management, as well as other operating expenses. EBITDA was thereby negative at NOK 35.5 million (negative NOK 33.7 million).

Review of operations

All figures are presented net, adjusted for Selvaag Bolig's share of joint ventures, unless otherwise specified. Units sold are sales contracts entered into with customers pursuant to the Norwegian Housing Construction Act and the Tenancy Act in Sweden. Pursuant to the IFRS, these are recognised as income on delivery.

Operations

Gross sales during the quarter totalled 154 units with a combined value of NOK 868 million. The sales were divided between 153 units in Norway and one unit in Sweden. Selvaag Bolig's share amounted to 139 units with a combined value of NOK 760 million.

Work started on constructing 123 units during the first quarter, so that Selvaag Bolig had 671 units worth roughly NOK 3.9 billion under construction at 31 March. A total of 236 units were completed during the quarter.

To manifest value creation in the group, segment reporting shows revenue and costs in the various projects using the percentage of completion method as its accounting principle.

Projects

The group has projects in Oslo, Bærum, Asker, Lørenskog, Ski, Ås, Fredrikstad, Stavanger, Sandnes, Sola, Tønsberg, Trondheim, Bergen and Stockholm. However, no projects were under construction in Bærum, Fredrikstad or Stockholm during the first quarter.

Sales development and progress Units sold

Total housing sales during the first quarter, including Selvaag Bolig's relative share of joint ventures, amounted to 139 units with a combined sales value of NOK 760 million. These sales comprise Selvaag Bolig's consolidated project companies as well as its relative share of units sold in joint venture projects. Sales in the same period of 2023 totalled 116 units with a combined value of NOK 658 million, while in the previous quarter 88 units were sold at a value of NOK 531 million.

Construction began on 123 (five) units during the quarter. At 31 March, Selvaag Bolig consequently had 671 (1 097) units under construction. The 671 units included 536 units in

Greater Oslo, 44 units in Trondheim and 91 units in Stavanger.

Construction starts can vary substantially from quarter to quarter, since construction normally only begins when 60 per cent of the units in a project has been sold.

The order backlog at 31 March - in other words, the sales value of the 671 (1 097) units then under construction – was NOK 3 948 million (NOK 5 641 million).

A total of 236 (161) units were completed in the first quarter, and 179 (150) – including ones completed earlier – were delivered. The completed units were spread over seven projects.

At 31 March, the group held 126 (37) completed but unsold units. The group also had 56 completed units that were sold, but not delivered at the end of the quarter (10). Consolidated project companies accounted for 127 (137) of the units delivered, while 52 (13) were in part-owned project companies.

Risk and uncertainty factors

As a housing developer, Selvaag Bolig is exposed to risks which could affect the group's business and financial position.

Risk factors relate to land development, sales and the execution of housing projects, and can be divided into categories market risk, operational risk, financial risk and climate risk. The group prioritises its work on managing and dealing with risk, and has established routines and control systems to limit and control risk exposure.

Macroeconomic conditions – particularly unemployment and the level of interest rates – as well as demographic changes are factors which affect the group's development.

As a pure housing developer, without its own construction arm, Selvaag Bolig puts all building work out to competitive tender. This means the group has great operational flexibility and can adapt its operations at short notice to changing levels of activity in the market. As a general rule, it requires 60 per cent advance sales before initiating projects. 62 per cent of total units under construction and 75 per cent of planned completions in 2024 had been sold at 31 March 2024.

See the annual report for 2023, available on the group's website, for a more detailed explanation of the risk and uncertainty factors it faces.

Outlook

Selvaag Bolig is well-positioned with large projects centrally located in Greater Oslo, Stavanger, Bergen, Trondheim and Stockholm.

According to Statistics Norway, urbanisation and population growth create a large and long-term need for new homes in Selvaag Bolig's core areas. However, during the last two years, demand has been negatively affected by home loan interest rate increases and reduced household purchasing power. Combined with high construction costs, this has resulted in postponed sales and construction starts for many actors. Selvaag Bolig had new sales starts on two projects with 70 units during the first quarter, and experienced satisfactory sales when considering market conditions. The company is planning to start sales on an additional 350 homes in the second quarter.

Since Selvaag Bolig has completed more housing units than it has started construction on, the number of units under

Transactions with related parties

Pursuant to the accounting rules, Urban Property is a related party to the group. This means that ongoing option premiums as well as sales and repurchases of land are regarded as related-party transactions, see note 7 for further information. During the first quarter, Selvaag Bolig repurchased two land plots from UP for a total of NOK 69 million, see also note 7.

construction has fallen considerably over the past two years. This trend continued in the first quarter. The reason for this is both the state of the housing market and the fact that construction costs have over time been high. Selvaag Bolig is currently experiencing that construction costs have stabilised at a level that makes it possible to execute more projects going forward. Uncertainty about the development of new home sales will, however, still be able to influence the start of new projects and thereby also the number of homes under construction for the company.

Selvaag Bolig is well equipped organisationally, operationally and financially to support and strengthen its market position going forward. The company has a good order reserve, a solid land bank in the company's core areas and available capital through the Urban Property (UP) agreement to buy new land plots.

Further, Selvaag Bolig reached an agreement in the first quarter for the sale of an entire residential building with 46 flats to Selvaag Utleiebolig AS, a wholly owned subsidiary of Selvaag AS. The value of the transaction is NOK 180 million and the expected delivery is in the fourth quarter of 2025.

See note 23 to the group's annual reports for detailed information on transactions with related parties in earlier years.

Housing market

All in all, there has been high sales activity in the secondhand Norwegian housing market so far this year. More homes have been both offered for sale and sold than in the same period of 2022 and 2023, and the inventory, which has been high in several areas, has fallen back to normal levels. The inventory in Bergen and the Stavanger area is still record low.

The price development, however, differed between Selvaag Bolig's core areas.

According to Statistics Norway, national second-hand house prices at 31 March were on average 1.2 per cent higher than one year earlier, and seasonally adjusted 1.2 per cent higher than at 31 December 2023.

Overall prices rose by 0.4 per cent during the quarter in Oslo including Bærum and were 1.2 per cent higher than at 31 March 2023. In Akershus excluding Bærum, prices increased by 1.0 per cent and were up by 0.5 per cent from 31 March 2023. Prices in Stavanger rose by 2.4 per cent during the quarter and were 5.4 per cent higher than at 31 March 2023. Prices in Bergen increased by 2.5 per cent in the quarter and were up by 1.4 per cent from one year earlier. In Trondheim, prices rose by 1.3 per cent for the quarter and were 1.5 per cent higher than at 31 March 2023.

Selvaag Bolig had gross sales of 154 homes worth a total of NOK 868 million in the first quarter. Adjusted for Selvaag Bolig's share of joint ventures, net sales came to 139 homes worth NOK 760 million, which is the highest amount in seven quarters.

Selected notes to the quarterly financial statements

1. General information and accounting policies

Selvaag Bolig ASA (the "company") and its subsidiaries (together "the group") is a property development group, involved in the construction of residential property for sale in the ordinary course of business. The condensed consolidated interim financial information consists of the group and the group's interest in associated companies and jointly controlled entities.

The group's consolidated financial information has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The report does not include all the information and disclosures required for annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the group's consolidated financial statements for 2023.

The accounting policies applied in preparing these interim condensed consolidated financial statements are otherwise consistent with those applied in the group's consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2023.

2. Accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions

The preparation of interim financial information requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions which affect the application of accounting principles and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

In preparing this consolidated interim financial information, the significant judgements made by management in applying the group's accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were largely the same as those which applied in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2023.

3. Transactions with related parties

See note 23 to the consolidated financial statements for 2023 for detailed information on related-party transactions in previous years.

4. Segment information

The main segment is defined as Housing development. In addition, the Other segment consists of services and estate agent as well as unallocated revenues and costs.

The group utilises the percentage of completion method in its internal reporting for which the degree of completion is estimated on the basis of expenses incurred relative to total estimated costs and sales rate. Operating profit (loss) under the percentage of completion method also includes an estimated profit element. The consolidated income statement is based on the completed contract method, in which revenue is recognised at the time of transfer of risk and control, being the point of delivery of the property. A reconciliation of this effect (from stage of completion to completed contract) can be found in the segment reporting under "Reconciliation EBITDA to operating profit (loss)".

Group management considers segment results based on the percentage of completion method for determining EBITDA. The method of measurement is defined as operating profit (loss) before "Depreciation and amortisation", "Other gain (loss), net", and "Share of income (losses) from disposals from associated companies and joint ventures". Financial income and expenses are not allocated to operating segments since this type of activity is managed by a central finance function focused on managing the group's liquidity.

5. Inventory - property

The group has property which comprises land and buildings intended for sale in the ordinary course of business or in the process of construction or development for such sale.

Inventories thus comprise land, property held for resale, and property under development and construction. Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value.

6. Project expenses and EBITDA

The group expenses all directly attributable costs in construction projects as project expenses. This includes financial expenses. Below is a specification showing the

project cost and EBITDA including and excluding financial expenses.

EBITDA adjusted2 106 042 109 682 451 680
EBITDA margin adjusted 16.9 % 14.9% 13.9%

1 EBITDA is operating profit before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortisation and other gains (losses).

2 EBITDA adjusted excludes financial expenses included in project costs.

The EBITDA margin is affected positively by presenting results from joint ventures net and excluding them from turnover. For more information, see note 8 on proportional consolidation, which presents the effect if the joint ventures had been included with their share of turnover, in other words, not presented net.

7. Collaboration with Urban Property

With effect from January 2020, large parts of the available land portfolio for Selvaag Bolig (SBO) have been owned by Urban Property (UP). The companies are long-term and strategic partners. UP is owned by Oslo Pensjonsforsikring AS with a 40 per cent holding, Equinor Pensjon with 30 per cent, Selvaag AS with 20 per cent and Rema Etablering Norge AS with 10 per cent. The Selvaag AS holding in UP makes the latter a related party to SBO pursuant to the IFRS, but not according to the Norwegian Public Limited Companies Act. See note 26 to the consolidated accounts for 2020 for detailed information on the transaction.

UP is a financially sound, well-capitalised and predictable partner. The collaboration agreement includes the following elements:

  • UP has a pre-emptive right to buy new land SBO wants to develop.
  • SBO has an option to repurchase the land from UP.
  • The land is repurchased in stages by SBO at its original acquisition price plus an annual option premium of Nibor plus 3.75 per cent. In addition comes a transaction fee, which is 0.5 per cent when UP buys property from the landowner and two per cent when SBO buys from UP.
  • SBO pays 50 per cent of the purchase price to UP on taking over a property (when construction starts) and 50 per cent on completion of the project.
  • If SBO decides not to exercise the option on a land plot, there is a 48-month option premium (break fee).
  • The agreement includes financial covenants, see note 10.

The transaction covered properties which were divided into Portfolios A, B and C. Portfolio A was converted to portfolio C with effect from 1 January 2021 following a renegotiation of the collaboration agreement between the parties.

Portfolio B

In accounting terms, Portfolio B is treated as a financing arrangement because SBO retains control of these properties. This means that the carrying amount of Portfolio B remains unchanged as inventory after the transaction, while the consideration from the sale of Portfolio B has been recognised as a liability for repurchase agreements (to UP) in the SBO balance sheet.

The option premium related to the properties in Portfolio B is paid quarterly. These premiums are treated for accounting purposes in the same way as interest charges on land loans. They are recognised in the balance sheet as part of inventory and expensed as cost of sales when completed residential units are delivered. Option premiums paid and capitalised for land in Portfolio B amounted to NOK 5.9 million in the first quarter (NOK 4.9 million). SBO can cancel the option at any given time on payment of a fixed break fee corresponding to 48 months of option premiums for the property. SBO pays 50 per cent of the purchase price to UP on taking over a property and 50 per cent on completion of the project.

Portfolio C

Portfolio C covers properties which the group has the right or obligation to purchase in the future. An agreement has been entered into which means that UP acquires rights and obligations corresponding to those currently held by the group in relation to the landowners. SBO will remain the formal counterparty to the present landowners. The agreement covers agreements on future property acquisitions where UP will be the formal counterparty to the landowners. After UP has acquired a property, SBO will have an option to buy it back on specified terms.

Fifty per cent of the option premium in Portfolio C falls due when SBO acquires the land from UP, with the remainder falling due on completion of the relevant project. Provision for accrued option premiums is made quarterly in SBO's consolidated accounts, as other noncurrent assets and other non-current liabilities, respectively. The asset is reclassified as inventory upon the land takeover, while the remaining unpaid option premium is reclassified to short-term liabilities, repurchase agreements and seller credits. Provision for and capitalisation of option premiums for Portfolio C amounted to NOK 51.9 million in the first quarter (NOK 35.2 million). Accumulated provisions and capitalisation at 31 March totalled NOK 383.4 million (NOK 209.6 million).

SBO can cancel the option at any given time in exchange for a break fee comprising the accumulated increase in the repurchase price for the property plus a fixed supplement corresponding to 48 months of growth in the repurchase price. When exercising an option, SBO pays 50 per cent of the purchase price to UP upon takeover of the property and 50 per cent upon project completion.

During the quarter, SBO repurchased two land plots from UP, for a total of NOK 69 million. Debt related to repurchase agreements and seller credits was NOK 434.8 million (NOK 587.2 million) at 31 March 2024. Of this, NOK 286.1 million was portfolio B (NOK 292.6 million) and NOK 148.7 million was seller credits (NOK 294.6 million).

8. Proportional consolidation related to associate companies and joint ventures – pro forma information

Selvaag Bolig executes a number of its housing projects in collaboration with other parties, often on a 50-50 basis. These are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income pursuant to the IFRS using the equity method, where Selvaag Bolig's share of the net result is presented as share of profit/(loss) from associated companies and joint ventures. Selvaag Bolig finds that the share of collaboration projects is increasing and that, in this context, it is relevant to provide information on how the statement of comprehensive income would have appeared were the equity interest in collaboration projects to be consolidated.

In the table below, the statement of comprehensive income pursuant to the IFRS has been restated to show the proportional consolidation of associated companies and joint ventures in accordance with Selvaag Bolig's equity interest in collaboration projects.

9. Alternative Performance Measures (APMs)

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and as endorsed by the EU. In addition, Selvaag Bolig presents several Alternative Performance Measures (APMs). APMs are performance measures not defined in the applicable financial reporting framework of IFRS and are therefore not necessarily comparable or equal to the calculation of similar measures used by other companies. The APMs are reported in addition to, but are not substitutes for, the group's consolidated financial statements, prepared in accordance

with IFRS. Below we present an overview of which alternative performance measures that are included in the quarterly report, why they are used and how they are defined:

EBITDA:

EBITDA is a measure of operating profit before interest, tax, depreciation, amortisation, and other gains (losses). The basis for the calculation of this are the consolidated financial statements according to IFRS, see the table below. The group presents this because group management believes that EBITDA gives useful additional information about the profitability of the group's operations. EBITDA is used by many companies and is well suited to comparing profitability between companies.

Adjusted EBITDA:

Adjusted EBITDA is EBITDA, as defined above, less financial expenses which are a part of project costs, see the table below. Since IFRS requires that financial expenses that are capitalised as a part of inventory must be expensed as costs of goods on delivery, adjusted EBITDA is presented to show the profitability of the group's operations before financial expenses. The group presents this because group management believes that adjusted EBITDA provides useful additional information about the underlying profitability of the group's operations.

See note 6

EBITDA (percentage of completion, NGAAP):

EBITDA (percentage of completion, NGAAP) is the operating profit before interest, tax, depreciation, amortisation, profits from associated companies and joint ventures and other gains (losses). The basis for this is from the group's segment reporting where the percentage of completion method, which is the completion ratio multiplied by sales ratio, is used, see note 4. The group presents this because group management believes that EBITDA (percentage of completion, NGAAP) gives

important additional information about the underlying value creation trends in the group.

Net interest-bearing debt:

Net interest-bearing debt is the sum of interest-bearing debt less cash and cash equivalents, see table on page 5. The group presents this because it believes it to be a useful indicator of the group's debt, financial flexibility and capital structure.

10. Financial covenants

The collaboration agreement with Urban Property, as described in note 7, includes financial covenants with the following requirements:

  • Equity must be greater than NOK 1 500 million.
  • Debt ratio must be below 50 per cent. Debt ratio is defined as: Net debt / (Net debt + equity).
  • Net debt / rolling 12-month EBITDA must be below 3.
  • Maximum 2.5 year accumulated, unpaid option premium. This consists of three elements multiplied with each other: (Lowest of market value or acquisition price of land plots in UP) times (annual option premium which is 3-month NIBOR + 3.75 per cent) times 2.5.

The calculation of net debt is excluding construction loans and Selvaag Bolig's balance sheet debt related to Portfolio B. At the same time, the accumulated accrued option premium and seller credits are included in the calculation.

On a breach of financial covenants, Selvaag Bolig must receive approval from UP for dividend and other distributions until the covenants once again are met. If there is a breach of covenants after six months, the option premium increases by 25 basis points until the covenants again are met.

Selvaag Bolig ASA has a credit facility agreement of NOK 300 million with DNB, which matures in December 2025. No drawings had been made against this facility at 31 March 2024. The agreement includes financial covenants with the following requirements:

  • The equity ratio must be at least 25 per cent.
  • The average sales ratio for units in production must be at least 60 per cent. If the sales ratio is 60-65 per cent, the lender must give its approval for the loan facilities to be drawn on, and the margin increases by 50 basis points.
