Selvaag Bolig ASA: Q3 2023: Good profitability and homes for NOK 5.3 billion under construction
Selvaag Bolig had operating revenues of NOK 2 008 million and an adjusted
EBITDA (IFRS) of NOK 249 million for the first nine months of the year.
During the first nine months, the company sold 272 homes net, started
construction of 145 units and delivered 379 homes to the buyer. At the end of
the quarter, Selvaag Bolig had 908 homes under construction with a combined
sales value of NOK 5.29 billion. Sixty-nine per cent of these homes had been
sold at the end of the quarter.
"The profitability of the projects is still good, and even though the new
housing market has been challenging, we have succeeded in selling homes for
close to NOK two billion so far this year," says CEO Sverre Molvik.
"We had several good sales starts in the quarter, we have a strong position
with over 400 homes for sale, and we have an additional 650 homes that could
be put up for sale during the first half of 2024 if the market allows.
"As previously communicated, we have postponed entering into construction
agreements due to high construction costs. The cost has now dropped. We have
therefore entered into several agreements, and will enter into more going
forward."

* Units sold are sales contracts entered into with customers pursuant to the

include Selvaag Bolig's share of joint venture projects. Gross sales include
all homes in joint venture projects.
** Pursuant to the IFRS, all profit is recognised when the homes are delivered
to the buyer. Profit pursuant to the IFRS accordingly derives primarily from
homes which began to be built roughly two years ago.
*** The accounts pursuant to Norwegian generally accepted accounting
principles (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.
