Results for the first quarter of 2016

(Figures in brackets relate to the corresponding period of 2015. The figures are unaudited.)

Selvaag Bolig had operating revenues of NOK 623.5 million (NOK 755.6 million) in the first quarter. Revenues from units delivered accounted for NOK 608.4 million (NOK 729.5 million) of this total, while other revenues derived from noncore activities, mainly rental of commercial premises.

A total of 179 units (224) were delivered in the quarter, with 178 (194) from consolidated project companies.

Project costs for the quarter totalled NOK 501.1 million (NOK 609.5 million), of which NOK 21.8 million (NOK 22.1 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 58.2 million (NOK 60.3 million) for the period. Payroll costs accounted for NOK 25.4 million (NOK 23.5 million) of this figure. A further NOK 7.3 million (NOK 9.5 million) in payroll costs related to housing under construction was capitalised during the period and will be expensed as project costs on future delivery. Furthermore, other operating costs came to NOK 26.7 million (NOK 31 million) for the quarter, including NOK 9.4 million (NOK 11.9 million) for sales and marketing.

The share of results from associates and joint ventures was negative at NOK 1.3 million (positive at NOK 6.9 million). This decline primarily reflected fewer units delivered in partowned projects.

EBITDA adjusted for financial expenses included in project costs came to NOK 90.9 million (NOK 120.7 million), corresponding to a margin of 14.6 per cent (16 per cent). Ordinary EBITDA was NOK 69.1 million (NOK 98.6 million), corresponding to a margin of 11.1 per cent (13.1 per cent).

Consolidated depreciation and amortisation totalled NOK 6.2 million (NOK 5.8 million), so that consolidated operating profit for the quarter came to NOK 62.9 million (NOK 92.8 million).

Net financial expenses came to NOK 6.9 million (NOK 8 million). Pre-tax profit for the quarter was thereby NOK 56 million (NOK 84.9 million).

Net tax expense was NOK 14.2 million (NOK 23 million) for the quarter. Consolidated net profit consequently came to NOK 41.8 million (NOK 61.9 million). NOK 41.8 million of the profit was attributable to the shareholders of Selvaag Bolig ASA (NOK 61.9 million), and NOK 0 million (NOK 0 million) was attributable to non-controlling shareholders.

Cash flow

Consolidated net cash flow from operational activities was NOK 118.6 million (NOK 97.7 million) for the first quarter. The increase from the same period of 2015 primarily reflected the substantial land acquisitions made last year. This was partly offset by a positive effect in 2015 because of a reduction in accounts receivable from client accounts at settlement agents for units delivered. Payment for such deliveries will often take place in the following quarter, since the money is held in the estate agent's client account until the sale has been legally registered.

Net cash flow from investing activities was negative at NOK 3 million (NOK 37.7 million) for the quarter. The change partly reflected dividends received during the period from

part-owned ventures, while a number of investments were made in such ventures during the first quarter of 2015.

Net cash flow from financing activities was negative at NOK 180.2 million (positive at NOK 37.4 million) for the quarter. Repurchase of the company's own shares in connection with the share programme for employees came to NOK 5.8 million during the period. The decline in cash flow from 2015 reflected an increase in net redemption of construction loans and NOK 70.4 million in redemption of land loans.

The group's holding of cash and cash equivalents at 31 March totalled NOK 607.7 million (NOK 663.3 million), a decline of NOK 64.5 million from 31 December 2015.

Financial position
The carrying amount of Selvaag Bolig's total inventories
(land, units under construction and completed units) at 31
March was NOK 4 642.8 million, compared with NOK 4 715.4
million at 31 December 2015 and NOK 4 563.1 million a year
earlier. The decrease during the quarter reflected the effect
of units delivered combined with the fact that no land
acquisitions were made. A high level of construction activity
partly offset this effect. See note 5 for a further specification
of inventories.
payments from customers. 308.6 million (NOK 290 million) represented advance
At 31 March, consolidated interest-bearing debt amounted to
NOK 2 448.6 million (NOK 2 761 million), of which NOK 1
478.3 million (NOK 1 685.6 million) was non-current and NOK
970.3 million (NOK 1 075.4 million) was current. The
reduction in current liabilities during the quarter reflected
the redemption of debt for completed projects.
Equity was NOK 2 594.2 million (NOK 2 519.2 million) at 31
March, corresponding to an equity ratio of 42.5 per cent (39.8
per cent). Non-controlling interests amounted to NOK 9.6
million (NOK 14.7 million) of equity. The decline primarily
reflected payments of NOK 3.4 million to non-controlling
shareholders in 2015.
The group had land loans of NOK 1 027.3 million (NOK 1 124.2
million) at 31 March. These are normally converted to
construction loans in line with the progress of the respective
construction projects.
Two undrawn overdraft facilities of NOK 150 million each
Other current non-interest-bearing liabilities totalled NOK
587.2 million (NOK 542.6 million) at 31 March, of which NOK
were held by the group at 31 March.
The group has an unsecured bond loan of NOK 500 million,

Financial position

  1. This has a five-year term and quarterly interest payments from 27 September 2013. Interest on the loan is three months Nibor plus 475 basis points. The bond incorporates covenants which require the company to maintain 1) a minimum equity ratio of 25 per cent until 30 June 2017 and then 27.5 per cent until maturity in June 2018 and 2) a sales ratio of at least 60 per cent for units under

construction. Both covenants were fulfilled at 31 March 2016, with an equity ratio of 42.5 per cent and a sales ratio of 80 per cent. In September 2015, a bondholder meeting approved a change to the dividend provisions in the bond which gave Selvaag Bolig the opportunity to pay dividend more than once a year.

The group's interest-bearing debt falls primarily into three categories: 1) liabilities in parent company Selvaag Bolig ASA (top-up loans), 2) land loans and 3) construction loans. At 31 March, the group had a top-up loan of NOK 495 million, land loans of NOK 1 027 million and construction loans of NOK 927 million. The top-up loan consisted of a bond carried at a net amortised cost of NOK 495 million.

Loans with interest charges recognised in profit and loss (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

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 809.1 million (NOK 819.9 million). They derived from 33 projects currently in production, and from a land sale totalling NOK 2.2 million.

Operating costs, primarily for construction and sales, directly related to the projects amounted to NOK 644.8 million (NOK 648.3 million) for the first quarter. Construction 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 164.3 million (NOK 171.6 million) for the quarter, corresponding to a profit margin of 20.3 per cent (20.9 per cent).

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.

Operating revenues for the first quarter came to NOK 6 million (NOK 7.1 million), while operating costs amounted to NOK 38.7 million (NOK 38.5 million). Costs are largely driven by management and administration as well as by marketing. EBITDA was thereby negative at NOK 32.7 million (NOK 31.3 million).

Review of operations

Operations

A total of 280 units with a combined value of NOK 1 056 million were sold during the quarter. The housing market was particularly strong in Greater Oslo, where the group currently has the bulk of its projects.

Activity in the group was at a high level, and construction started on 230 units during the first quarter.

Projects

The company has projects in Oslo, Lørenskog, Moss, Oppegård, Stavanger, Sandnes, Sola, Tønsberg, Trondheim, Bergen, Tromsø and Stockholm.

To manifest value creation in the company, segment reporting shows revenue and costs in the various projects on the assumption that the company had used the percentage of completion method as its accounting principle.

However, no projects were under construction in Stockholm, Stavanger or Sola during the first quarter.

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.

Macro-economic conditions, particularly unemployment and interest rates as well as demographic changes, are factors expected to affect the group in a longer perspective. 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 during the quarter. See note 23 to the consolidated

financial statements for 2015 for detailed information on transactions with related parties in earlier years.

Housing market

House prices continued to rise during the first quarter. According to Statistics Norway (SSB), Norwegian house prices at 31 March were 1.7 per cent higher on average than at 31 December 2015 and up by 4.6 per cent from 31 March 2015.

Price developments were positive in all Selvaag Bolig's core areas, apart from Rogaland county. Prices rose by 2.9 per cent in Oslo and Bærum during the quarter, and were 9.4 per cent higher than at 31 March 2015. In Akershus county excluding Bærum, prices were up by 2.6 per cent and 8.2 per cent higher than at 31 March 2015. Prices in Stavanger declined by 3.1 per cent and were down by 10.2 per cent from 31 March 2015. They declined by 1.4 per cent in Bergen and were one per cent higher there than a year earlier, while they rose by 2.7 per cent in Trondheim and were up by 6.5 per cent from the year before.

Figures from Eiendomsverdi show that the housing market is characterised by big regional variations. Demand is at a record high in the Oslo area, with supply low, while the balance is better in Trondheim and Bergen. In Rogaland, on the other hand, supply is significantly higher than demand.

Selvaag Bolig sold 280 new units at a combined value of NOK 1.1 billion during the first quarter.

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 2015.

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 2015.

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 2015.

3. Transactions with related parties

See note 23 in the group's Consolidated Financial Statements for 2015 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.
