Results for the first quarter of 2015

(Figures in brackets relate to the corresponding period of 2014. The figures are unaudited.)

Selvaag Bolig had operating revenues of NOK 755.6 million (NOK 244.6 million) in the first quarter. Revenues from units delivered totalled NOK 729.5 million (NOK 224.5 million) for the period. Land sales came to NOK 11.3 million. Other revenues related to non-core activities, mainly rental of commercial premises.

A total of 224 units (80) were delivered in the quarter, including 194 (79) from consolidated project companies.

Project costs for the quarter totalled NOK 609.5 million (NOK 193.1 million), of which NOK 22.1 million (NOK 7.7 million) represented previously capitalised financial expenses. Overall project costs related primarily to construction costs for units delivered as well as costs in projects which do not qualify for capitalisation as inventories. The rise in project costs reflected more units delivered than in the same period of 2014.

Operating costs excluding project costs and the share of results from associated companies came to NOK 60.3 million (NOK 46.5 million) for the quarter. Payroll costs accounted for NOK 23.5 million (NOK 16.5 million) of this figure. NOK 9.5 million (NOK 10.5 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 31.0 million (NOK 24.8 million) for the quarter, including NOK 11.9 million (NOK 8.1 million) for sales and marketing.

The share of profit from associates and joint ventures came to NOK 6.9 million (loss of NOK 1.2 million).

EBITDA adjusted for financial expenses included in project costs came to NOK 120.7 million (NOK 16.7 million). Ordinary EBITDA was NOK 98.6 million (NOK 9 million), corresponding to a margin of 13.1 per cent (3.7 per cent).

Consolidated depreciation and amortisation totalled NOK 5.8 million (NOK 5.2 million), so that consolidated operating profit for the quarter came to NOK 92.8 million (NOK 3.8 million).

Net financial expenses came to NOK 8 million (NOK 6.3 million). Pre-tax profit for the quarter was NOK 84.9 million (loss of NOK 2.5 million).

Net tax expense was NOK 23 million (income of NOK 0.7 million) for the quarter. Consolidated net profit came to NOK 61.9 million (loss of NOK 1.9 million). The whole profit of NOK 61.9 million was attributable to the shareholders of Selvaag Bolig ASA (loss of NOK 3 million), with NOK 0 (NOK 1.1 million) for non-controlling shareholders.

Cash flow

Consolidated net cash flow from operational activities was NOK 97.7 million (negative at NOK 413.7 million) for the quarter. The increase from 2014 primarily reflected more units delivered and a reduction in accounts receivable from settlement provider client accounts 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 37.7 million (NOK 2.6 million) for the quarter. Pay-outs primarily reflected NOK 36.6 million for investment in the Sinsenveien 45-49 joint venture, as well as the acquisition of fixtures, fittings and equipment.

Net cash flow from financing activities came to NOK 37.4 million (NOK 415.8 million) in the quarter. The change from the corresponding period of 2014 primarily reflected increased redemption of debt related to projects delivered this year plus an overdraft repayment of NOK 55 million.

The holding of cash and cash equivalents increased by NOK 97.3 million during the first quarter. The group's total holding at 31 March thereby came to NOK 663.3 million (NOK 586.6 million).

Financial position

The carrying amount of Selvaag Bolig's total inventories (land, units under construction and completed units) at 31 March was NOK 4 563.1 million, compared with NOK 4 348.8 million at 31 December and NOK 4 661.3 million a year earlier. The increase from the end of 2014 primarily reflected new land acquisitions and a high level of construction activity. Delivered units reduced the effect. The value of completed units declined from NOK 374.1 million at 31 December to NOK 359.2 million, reflecting delivered units. See note 5 for a further specification of inventories.

Equity was NOK 2 519.2 million (NOK 2 257.1 million) at 31 March, corresponding to an equity ratio of 39.8 per cent (35 per cent). Non-controlling interests amounted to NOK 14.7 million (NOK 23.8 million) of equity. The decline reflected payments of NOK 9.2 million to non-controlling shareholders last year.

Other current non-interest-bearing liabilities totalled NOK 542.6 million (NOK 641.6 million) at 31 March, of which NOK 290 million (NOK 328.1 million) represented advance payments from customers.

At 31 March, consolidated interest-bearing debt amounted to NOK 2 761 million (NOK 3 217.7 million), of which NOK 1 685.6 million (NOK 2 330.7 million) was non-current and NOK 1 075.4 million (NOK 887 million) was current. The change from 2014 primarily resulted from the redemption of construction loans for completed projects. The increased share of current liabilities reflected a rise in the proportion of projects approaching completion.

The group had land loans of NOK 1 124.2 million (NOK 1 175.3 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 were held by the group at 31 March.

The group has an unsecured bond loan of NOK 500 million, with 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 2015, with an equity ratio of 39.8 per cent and a sales ratio of 81 per cent. The bond was listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange in the third quarter of 2013.

Net interest-bearing debt 2 097 747 2 631 121 2 145 989

The group's interest-bearing debt falls primarily into three categories: liabilities in parent company Selvaag Bolig ASA (top-up loans), land loans and construction loans. At 31 March, the group had a top-up loan of NOK 492 million, land loans of NOK 1 124 million and construction loans of NOK 1 145 million. The top-up loan consisted of a bond carried at a net amortised cost of NOK 492 million.

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 704 million in land loans had been capitalised, while interest charges relating to NOK 420 million in loans were recognised in profit and loss.

Loans with interest charges recognised in profit and loss (NOK mill)

Interest-bearing debt at 31 March 2015 (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

Operational reporting

Each project is followed up individually in daily operations, and operational reporting accordingly comprises one main segment – housing development. Previously, up to the first quarter of 2015, the company reported the housing development segment broken down geographically between Greater Oslo, the rest of Norway and other countries. 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 main segment. 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. The company previously differentiated between projects in Greater Oslo, the rest of Norway and other countries. Each project is followed up individually.

Operating revenues for the first quarter were NOK 819.9 million (NOK 678.6 million). They derived from 42 projects currently in production, and land sales totalling NOK 11.3 million.

Operating costs, primarily for construction and sales, directly related to the projects amounted to NOK 648.3 million (NOK

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 7.1 million (NOK 9.6 million).

532.4 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 171.6 million (NOK 146.2 million) for the quarter, corresponding to a profit margin of 20.9 per cent (21.5 per cent).

Total operating costs for the segment amounted to NOK 38.5 million (NOK 32 million) for the first quarter. These are largely attributable to management and administration as well as to marketing.

EBITDA was negative at NOK 31.3 million (NOK 22.5 million) for the segment.

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 half-year and annual reports, 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 2014 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 1.6 per cent higher on average than in 31 December 2014 and up by 7.2 per cent from 31 March 2014.

Price developments were positive in all Selvaag Bolig's core areas, apart from Rogaland county. Prices rose by 3.1 per cent in Oslo and Bærum during the quarter, and were 11.9 per cent higher than at 31 March 2014. In Akershus not including Bærum, prices were up by 3.4 per cent and 8.6 per cent higher than in 31 March 2014. Prices in Stavanger declined by 0.9 per cent and were up two per cent from the end of 2014. They increased by 1.2 per cent in Bergen and were unchanged in Trondheim during the quarter, and were 8.5 and 6.5 per cent higher respectively than the year before. According to Eiendomsverdi, the housing market is characterised by a high level of demand. The volume of sales was high during the quarter, while the stock of unsold second-hand homes was very low in all Selvaag Bolig's markets with the exception of Rogaland.

Selvaag Bolig' sales of new homes during the quarter were the best ever for the company, with 308 units sold compared with 139 in the corresponding period of 2014.

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 2014.

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 2014.

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 2014.

3. Transactions with related parties

See note 23 in the Group's Consolidated Financial Statements for 2014 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.
