Results for the first quarter of 2018

(Figures in brackets relate to the corresponding period of 2017. The figures are unaudited.)

Selvaag Bolig had operating revenues of NOK 380.6 million (NOK 456.1 million) in the first quarter. Revenues from units delivered accounted for NOK 323.2 million (NOK 301.4 million) of this total. Commercial property worth NOK 42.5 million (NOK 140 million) was also sold. Other revenues derived from non-core activities, mainly rental of commercial premises.

A total of 59 units (85) were delivered in the quarter, all (84) from consolidated project companies.

Project costs for the quarter totalled NOK 275.9 million (NOK 312 million), of which NOK 5.3 million (NOK 11.9 million) represented previously capitalised financial expenses. Total project expenses primarily represented construction costs for units delivered as well as costs in projects which did not qualify for capitalisation as inventory.

Operating costs excluding project costs and the share of results from associated companies totalled NOK 58.3 million (NOK 59.1 million) for the period. Payroll costs accounted for NOK 26.8 million (NOK 28.7 million) of this figure. A further NOK 5.6 million (NOK 5.6 million) in payroll costs related to housing under construction was capitalised during the period and will be expensed as project costs on future delivery. Other operating costs came to NOK 30.5 million (NOK 29.4 million) for the quarter, including NOK 5.9 million (NOK 11.4 million) for sales and marketing.

The share of results from associates was negative at NOK 1.9 million (NOK 4.2 million).

EBITDA adjusted for financial expenses included in project costs came to NOK 50.7 million (NOK 93.6 million), corresponding to a margin of 13.3 per cent (20.5 per cent). Ordinary EBITDA was NOK 45.4 million (NOK 81.8 million), corresponding to a margin of 11.9 per cent (17.9 per cent). The decline in EBITDA must be viewed in relation to the relatively low number of units delivered during the quarter.

Consolidated depreciation and amortisation totalled NOK 0.9 million (NOK 1.1 million). Consolidated operating profit thereby came to NOK 44.5 million (NOK 80.7 million).

Net financial expenses amounted to NOK 3.6 million (NOK 9.2 million). This reduction primarily reflected the redemption of the bond loan in the second quarter of 2017. Pre-tax profit for the quarter came to NOK 40.9 million (NOK 71.4 million).

Tax expense was NOK 9.6 million (income of NOK 4.8 million) for the quarter. Consolidated net profit for the first quarter consequently came to NOK 31.3 million (NOK 76.2 million). NOK 31.3 million (NOK 76 million) of the profit was attributable to the shareholders of Selvaag Bolig ASA, and NOK 0 (NOK 0.2 million) to non-controlling shareholders.

Cash flow

Consolidated net cash flow from operational activities was negative at NOK 311.7 million (NOK 579.2 million) for the first quarter. The change from the same period of last year primarily reflected acquisition of a site in the first quarter of 2017. See note 5 on inventory for more information.

Net cash flow from investing activities was NOK 34 million (negative at NOK 25.8 million) for the quarter. The change from the same period of 2017 primarily reflected repayment of loans by joint ventures and the fact that last year's figure included increased capital injection in joint ventures.

Net cash flow from financing activities was NOK 131.6 million (NOK 93.3 million) for the quarter. The change from the same period of 2017 primarily reflected the repurchase of own shares in Selvaag Bolig ASA in 2017.

The group's holding of cash and cash equivalents at 31 March totalled NOK 339.5 million (NOK 374.5 million), down by NOK 146.1 million from 31 December and by NOK 35.1 million from a year earlier.

Financial position

The carrying amount of Selvaag Bolig's total inventories (land, units under construction and completed units) at 31 March was NOK 4 912.8 million, compared with NOK 4 643.9 million at 31 December and NOK 4 751.5 million a year earlier. The increase during the first quarter primarily reflected fewer units delivered and a high level of construction activity. See note 5 for a further specification of inventories.

Equity was NOK 2 912.2 million (NOK 2 750.6 million) at 31 March, corresponding to an equity ratio of 45.3 per cent (43 per cent). Non-controlling interests amounted to NOK 9.4 million (NOK 9.5 million) of equity.

Other current non-interest-bearing liabilities for the group totalled NOK 833.3 million (NOK 747.1 million) at 31 March, of which NOK 393.8 million (NOK 528.3 million) represented advance payments from customers.

At 31 March, consolidated interest-bearing debt amounted to NOK 2 358.6 million (NOK 2 641.6 million), of which NOK 1 998.8 million (NOK 1 795.7 million) was non-current and NOK 359.7 million (NOK 845.9 million) was current. The reduction in current debt from last year primarily reflected the redemption of the NOK 500 million bond loan in the second quarter of 2017.

The group had land loans totalling NOK 1 252.3 million (NOK 844 million) at 31 March. These are normally converted to construction loans in line with the progress of the respective construction projects.

Selvaag Bolig ASA has a credit facility in DNB. This has been expanded from NOK 400 million to NOK 500 million in 2018, with maturity in April 2022. In addition the company has a credit facility of NOK 150 million, which is renewed annually. No drawings had been made against any of these facilities at 31 March.

Net interest-bearing debt 2 019 104 2 267 100 1 731 870

The group's interest-bearing debt falls primarily into three categories: 1) top-up loans, which are liabilities in parent company Selvaag Bolig ASA, 2) land loans and 3) construction loans. At 31 March, the group had no top-up loans, land loans of NOK 1 252.3 million and construction loans of NOK 1 106.3 million.

Interest-bearing debt at 31 March 2018 (NOK mill)

Interest costs on land loans are normally 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 on NOK 888 million in land loans had been capitalised, while interest charges relating to NOK 365 million in land loans spread over three projects were recognised in profit and loss.

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 business" segment. The latter primarily includes service deliveries in completed Pluss projects as well as group administration not allocated to the other segments. Operational reporting utilises the percentage of completion method for recognising revenues and profit, 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 for the first quarter were NOK 561.8 million (NOK 809.7 million). They derived from 21 projects currently in production. Their decline reflected fewer projects under construction compared with last year, and the group's sale of a commercial property in Oslo for NOK 140 million in the first quarter of last year.

Operating costs, primarily for construction and sales, are directly related to the projects and amounted to NOK 410.5

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.

million (NOK 569.6 million) for the first quarter. Construction costs in the segment reporting are exclusive of directlyrelated 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 151.3 million (NOK 240.1 million) for the quarter, corresponding to a profit margin of 26.9 per cent (29.7 per cent).

Operating revenues for the segment in the first quarter came to NOK 10.1 million (NOK 7.8 million), while operating costs amounted to NOK 44.2 million (NOK 45.3 million). Costs relate largely to remuneration for the administration and management, as well as to central marketing. EBITDA was thereby negative at NOK 34.2 million (NOK 37.5 million).

Review of operations

Operations

A total of 216 units with a combined value of NOK 788 million were sold during the quarter. Selvaag Bolig's share amounted to 185 units sold with a combined value of NOK 693 million.

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 market, operational and financial categories. The group gives priority to 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 interest rates, as well as demographic changes are factors which affect the group's progress. See the company's annual report, available on its website, for a more detailed explanation of the risk and uncertainty factors it faces.

Transactions with related parties

Selvaag Bolig had no significant transactions with related parties in the quarter. See note 23 to the group's annual

reports for detailed information on transactions with related parties in earlier years.

Housing market

According to Statistics Norway (SSB), seasonally adjusted Norwegian house prices at 31 March were on average 0.3 per cent lower than at 31 December and down by 1.1 per cent from 31 March 2017.

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 have 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 2017.

IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers is a new standard for income recognition introduced on 1 January 2018. It replaces IAS 18, which applies in part to sales of goods and services, and IAS 11 on construction contracts, as well as IFRIC 15, which has been the prevailing interpretation of the income recognition rules for residential property sales. Current practice on income recognition related to property development projects for own account in Norway will not change with the implementation of IFRS 15. The matter has been under consideration by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC), and a final decision was issued in March 2018.

The accounting policies applied in preparing these interim condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with those applied in the group's consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2017.

Group management has not yet evaluated the impact of implementing new, revised and amended standards with a later date of adoption.

2. Accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions

The preparation of interim financial information requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that 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 that applied in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2017.

3. Transactions with related parties

See note 23 in the group's Consolidated Financial Statements for 2017 for detailed information on related party transactions in previous years.

4. Segment information

The main segment is defined as Property 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 based on 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 group 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.
