Results for the first quarter of 2014

(Figures in brackets relate to the corresponding period of 2013. The figures are unaudited.)

Selvaag Bolig had operating revenues of NOK 244.6 million (NOK 523.8 million) in the first quarter. It delivered 80 homes (170) in the period, including 79 (169) from consolidated project companies, which accounted in all for NOK 224.5 million (NOK 507.1 million) of total consolidated operating revenues.

Project costs for the quarter totalled NOK 193.1 million (NOK 377.9 million). These relate primarily to construction costs for homes delivered as well as costs for other projects which do not qualify for capitalisation as inventories. The decline in project costs reflects fewer units delivered than in the same period of 2013.

Operating costs excluding project costs and the share of results from associates came to NOK 46.5 million (NOK 49.1 million) for the quarter. Payroll costs accounted for NOK 16.5 million (NOK 21.1 million) of this figure. The decline primarily reflected the divestment of Meglerhuset Selvaag (the estate agency and letting business) in 2013. In addition, NOK 10.5 million (NOK 5.7 million) in payroll costs related to housing under construction was capitalised during the period and will be expensed as project costs on delivery. Furthermore, other operating costs came to NOK 24.8 million (NOK 22.4 million) for the quarter, including NOK 8.1 million (NOK 7.3 million) for sales and marketing.

The share of loss from associates and joint ventures came to NOK 1.2 million (NOK 0.2 million). This negative result primarily reflects few units delivered from part-owned projects.

EBITDA came to NOK 9 million (NOK 102.2 million) in the quarter, corresponding to a margin of 3.7 per cent (19.5 per cent). The low margin for the group as a whole differs from margins in the individual projects, and must be viewed in relation to a low number of deliveries during the quarter.

Consolidated depreciation and amortisation totalled NOK 5.2 million (NOK 5.5 million), so that consolidated operating profit for the quarter came to NOK 3.8 million (NOK 96.7 million).

Net financial expenses came to NOK 6.3 million (NOK 14.6 million). The variation from 2013 reflects the recognition of NOK 12.2 million in guarantee costs in the first quarter of last year. The pre-tax loss came to NOK 2.5 million (profit of NOK 82.1 million).

Net tax income is estimated at NOK 0.7 million (expense of NOK 20.6 million) for the quarter, so that the consolidated net loss was NOK 1.9 million (profit of NOK 61.5 million). A loss of NOK 3 million was attributable to the shareholders of Selvaag Bolig ASA and a profit of NOK 1.1 million to noncontrolling shareholders in a joint venture.

Cash flow

Consolidated net cash flow from operational activities was negative at NOK 413.7 million (positive at NOK 319.5 million) for the first quarter. The decline from 2013 primarily reflected fewer homes delivered and a high level of construction activity.

Net cash flow from investing activities was negative at NOK 2.6 million (positive at NOK 20.3 million) for the quarter. Dividends from joint ventures came to NOK 5.7 million (NOK 0 million). The purchase of a joint venture in Trondheim involved a cash payment of NOK 8.25 million.

Net cash flow from financing activities was NOK 415.8 million (negative at NOK 321.9 million). The change from the first quarter of 2013 reflected the drawdown of construction loans in current projects, and the payment of NOK 54.9 million to an external guarantor for the Løren 2B project last year.

Cash and cash equivalents decreased by NOK 0.4 million during the first quarter. The group's total holding at 31 March was NOK 586.6 million (NOK 575.9 million.

Financial position

The carrying amount of Selvaag Bolig's total inventories (land, housing under construction and completed homes) at 31 March was NOK 4 661.3 million, compared with NOK 4 283.9 million at 31 December and NOK 3 853.4 million a year earlier. The increase from the fourth quarter of 2013 reflected a high level of building activity. See note 5 for a further specification of inventories.

Equity at 31 March was NOK 2 257.1 million (NOK 2 153.3 million), corresponding to an equity ratio of 35 per cent (39.3 per cent). Non-controlling interests amounted to NOK 23.8 million (NOK 24.6 million) of equity.

Other current non-interest-bearing liabilities totalled NOK 641.6 million (NOK 407 million) at 31 March, of which NOK 328.1 million (NOK 232 million) represented advance payments from customers.

At 31 March, consolidated interest-bearing debt amounted to NOK 3 217.7 million (NOK 2 563.3 million), of which NOK 2 330.7 million (NOK 1 452 million) was non-current and NOK 887 million (NOK 1 111.3 million) was current.

The group had land loans of NOK 1 175.3 million (NOK 1 327.5 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, with one allocated for financing the start-up of new projects.

The group issued an unsecured bond loan of NOK 500 million in the second quarter of 2013, with a five-year term and quarterly interest payments commencing on 27 September 2013. Interest on the loan is three months Nibor plus a margin of 475 basis points. The bond incorporates two covenants, requiring the company to maintain 1) a minimum equity ratio of 22.5 per cent and 2) a sales ratio of at least 70 per cent for homes under construction. Both covenants were fulfilled at 31 March. The bond was listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange in the third quarter of 2013.

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 489 million, land loans of NOK 1 175 million and construction loans of NOK 1 554 million. The top-up loan consisted of a bond carried at a net amortised cost of NOK 489 million.

Interest costs on liabilities to landowners in Stavanger are only an accounting charge from the present value calculation and without cash effect.

Loans 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 homes are delivered. At 31 March, NOK 805 million in interest on land loans had been capitalised, while interest charges of NOK 369 million on loans were recognised in profit and loss.

Operational reporting

Operational reporting accords with the defined segments in Selvaag Bolig and is broken down as follows: housing development divided geographically between Greater Oslo, the rest of Norway and other countries. Reporting also embraces the "other business" segment. The latter includes module deliveries, services, and administration not allocated to the other segments because of the scale of the activity. Note 4 to the financial statements presents segment information reconciled with financial reporting figures (IFRS).

Housing development – Greater Oslo

This segment embraces projects from Jessheim in the north to Moss in the south-east and Tønsberg in the south-west.

Operating revenues for the first quarter were NOK 536 million (NOK 449.6 million). They derived from 21 projects, all of which are in production because construction has started.

Although the group experienced a somewhat slower pace of sales compared with the same period of 2013, the projects under construction showed good profitability and progress.

Housing development – rest of Norway

In addition to Greater Oslo, Selvaag Bolig concentrates on large towns in other parts of the country. These are included in the housing development – rest of Norway business area.

Operating revenues for this segment in the first quarter were NOK 142 million (NOK 178.7 million), and derived primarily from 10 projects in Stavanger and one in Bergen.

Housing development – other countries

Only one project was under way in this segment at 31 March. Located in Stockholm, it is owned 50-50 with Operating costs, primarily for construction and sales, move in line with the projects and amounted to NOK 416.3 million (NOK 322.7 million) in 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 form part of project costs on delivery.

EBITDA presents operating profit (loss) before depreciation, gain (loss), and share of profit (loss) from associates. It came to NOK 119.7 million for the quarter (NOK 126.9 million), corresponding to a profit margin of 22.3 per cent (28.2 per cent).

As in Greater Oslo, operating costs move primarily in line with construction and sales costs. These follow project development and amounted to NOK 115.6 million (NOK 136 million) in the first quarter exclusive of financial expenses.

EBITDA for the segment came to NOK 26.4 million (NOK 42.7 million), corresponding to a margin of 18.6 per cent (23.9 per cent).

Other business – unallocated

The other business segment comprises a number of activities in the group which are not regarded on their own as part of the core business. It also includes administration and management which cannot be attributed directly to the projects and are accordingly not allocated to the housing development segments.

Operating revenues for the first quarter came to NOK 9.6 million (NOK 8.6 million). NOK 5 million of the revenues rental income. Operating costs of NOK 0.6 million (NOK 0.4 million) related primarily to letting management.

related to fees from an external housing developer for using the Pluss concept.

Total operating costs for the segment amounted to NOK 32 million (NOK 34.1 million) for the first quarter. These are largely attributable to management and administration as well as to company promotion.

This yielded a negative EBITDA of NOK 22.5 million (NOK 25.4 million) for the segment.

Review of operations

Operations

The pace of sales during the quarter was satisfactory, but lower than in the corresponding period of 2013. Activity in the group was at a high level, and construction started on as many homes as were delivered in the quarter.

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.

Projects

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

However, no projects are currently under construction in
Trondheim or Tromsø.

Purchase and sale of land

Selvaag Bolig has entered into an agreement to acquire a property at Ensjø in Oslo for NOK 206 million. Selvaag Bolig ASA will own 50 per cent of the project, with the remainder owned by Ferd Eiendom. The total project will consist of 320 units covering 22 100 saleable square metre, which implies a land cost of roughly NOK 9 330 per saleable square metre. The purchase will be completed in the third quarter of 2016.

Furthermore, Selvaag Bolig has entered into an agreement to acquire two sites in Trondheim. Selvaag Bolig AS will own 50 per cent of the projects, with Heimdal Sag Invest AS owning the remainder. The total project will consist of 220 units covering 14 430 saleable square metre.

The price for the first site was NOK 17.4 million which implies a land cost of NOK 4 650 per saleable square metre. The purchase was completed in the first quarter of 2014. The price for the second site in Trondheim will be the marked price at the date when planning permission is secured. The purchase is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2016.

Market trends

Selvaag Bolig sold 139 residential units (243) during the first quarter.

Value of units sold (NOK mill)

Selvaag Bolig started sales during the quarter in four projects (Sjøsia in Tromsø is being developed in two phases) embracing a total of 154 residential units (227). Market conditions during the first quarter were better than in the fourth quarter of 2013, which had a positive impact on sales for Selvaag Bolig.

The company experienced good demand in projects available for sale during the first quarter. This trend continued in the second quarter, and is exemplified by the pace of sales in the Nyhavn and Sjøsia projects in Bergen and Tromsø respectively. Fifty of 75 flats at Sjøsia had been sold from the start of sales in early February to mid-May, spread over two construction stages. Furthermore, 22 of 49 flats in the Nyhavn project were sold from the start of sales in early April to mid-May.

Risk and uncertainty factors

As a housing developer, Selvaag Bolig is exposed to risks which could affect its business and financial position. Risk factors relate to land development, sales, and the execution of housing projects, and can be broken down 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 the 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 2013 for detailed information on transactions with related parties in earlier years.

Housing market

Prices declined for all types of housing nationwide in Norway during the second half of 2013. This trend reversed during the first quarter of 2014 and, according to Statistics Norway (SSB), Norwegian house prices at 31 March were 2.1 per cent higher on average than at 31 December and on a par with prices at 31 March 2013.

However, price developments in Selvaag Bolig's core areas were somewhat mixed. Prices in Oslo and Bærum rose during the quarter by 1.8 per cent, and were 0.1 per cent higher than at 31 March 2013. In Akershus outside Bærum, prices increased by two per cent in the quarter, and were 0.8 per cent higher than at 31 March 2013. Stavanger prices, on the other hand, declined by 1.9 per cent during the period and ended up 5.5 per cent lower than at 31 March 2013. In Bergen, prices rose by 4.8 per cent and were up by 2.8 per cent from the year before. Prices in Trondheim rose by 2.6 per cent, and were 1.1 per cent lower than at 31 March 2013.

Sales of second-hand homes in the period were high and at the same level as the first quarter in 2013 and 2012. Eiendomsverdi reports that the inventory of second-hand homes has been decreasing after the end of the quarter. Sales of newbuilt homes also improved significantly during the quarter and Selvaag Bolig sold 139 units, compared with 61 units in the fourth quarter 2013. The positive development has continued into the second quarter.

Selvaag Bolig primarily builds flats and semidetached/terraced homes, and found that demand during the quarter was highest for homes in the NOK 2-4 million price class in the peripheral zones around the big cities.

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 2013.

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 2013.

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 2013.

3. Transactions with related parties

See note 23 in the Group's Consolidated Financial Statements for 2013 for detailed information on related party transactions in previous years.

4. Segment information

The main segment is defined as Property development divided according to the regions Greater-Oslo, The rest of Norway and Other Countries. 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.
