Selvaag Bolig ASA: High level of activity and increased order backlog
Selvaag Bolig delivered 77 homes in the first quarter, when the EBITDA margin
adjusted for financial costs came to 17 per cent. At 31 March, the company had
1 361 homes worth NOK 7 034 million under construction.
We sold homes for more than NOK 1 billion in the first quarter, and for the
first time in two years we have homes adding up to more than NOK 7 billion
under construction. The sales-ratio at 31 March was 73 per cent, says CEO
Sverre Molvik.
Construction costs for these units have been secured at a fixed rate and are
therefore not affected by the increase in such expenses. We are carrying out
projects as planned and have good control over costs.
Even with rising interest rates and increased construction costs for new
projects, the company expects a good and stable housing market in the time to
come.
We are managing to secure construction costs at sustainable prices and the
supply side of the housing market in the Oslo-region low by historical
standards. We have some 400 units on sale and are planning sales starts for an
additional 500 homes in the second and third quarters .

* Units sold are sales contracts entered into with customers pursuant to the

recognised as income on delivery. Net sales include Selvaag Bolig s share of
joint venture projects. Gross sales include all homes in joint venture
projects.
** Pursuant to the IFRS, all profit is recognised when the homes are delivered
to the buyer. Profit pursuant to the IFRS accordingly derives primarily from
homes which began to be built roughly two years ago.
*** The accounts pursuant to Norwegian generally accepted accounting
principles (NGAAP) utilise the percentage of completion method. This means
that profits are recognised on the basis of construction progress and sales in
the projects. That presents ongoing value creation in the company.
