Selvaag Bolig ASA: Q3 2017: Land purchase in Oslo and good outlook for results
Selvaag Bolig sold homes with a sales value of NOK 2 867 million in the first
nine months of 2017.
"The market is substantially quieter than in earlier periods, but our sales have
nevertheless been good. We have good homes in the right locations, and great
faith in continued good progress. Among other moves, we have therefore entered
into an agreement to buy sites associated with the Bjerke Travbane race track,
one of the best remaining development plots in Oslo. This acquisition could
provide more than 1 500 homes, says CEO Baard Schumann
Selvaag Bolig had operating revenues of NOK 1.97 billion in the first nine
months, and a margin of 19.7 per cent.
"We deliver good results and will be continuing to do so," says Schumann. "As
expected, few deliveries were made during the third quarter viewed in isolation
but we are due to complete 336 homes in the next quarter. We're due to complete
850 homes in 2018, and 86 per cent of these are already sold. We can therefore
already say that we'll be delivering a good 2018."
Selvaag Bolig has a total of 1 582 homes with a sales value of NOK 7 047 million
under construction, and 78 per cent of these are already sold.
