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.

homes which began to be built roughly two years ago.

(NGAAP) utilise the percentage of completion method. This means that profits are

recognised on the basis of construction progress and sales in the projects. That

presents ongoing value creation in the company.
