(Figures in brackets relate to the corresponding period of 2014. The figures are unaudited.)
Selvaag Bolig had operating revenues of NOK 778.4 million (NOK 764.7 million) in the third quarter. Revenues from units delivered accounted for NOK 762.8 million (NOK 751.7 million) of this total, while other revenues derived from noncore activities, mainly rental of commercial premises.
A total of 202 units (279) were delivered in the quarter, including 201 (278) from consolidated project companies.
Project costs for the quarter totalled NOK 623.9 million (NOK 628.3 million), of which NOK 23.3 million (NOK 29.6 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 59.2 million (NOK 46.7 million) for the period. Payroll costs accounted for NOK 23.1 million (NOK 14.7 million) of this figure, including NOK 3 million (NOK 2.8 million) in provision for bonuses. NOK 7.1 million (NOK 8.6 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 30 million (NOK 26.8 million) for the quarter, including NOK 13.8 million (NOK 11.3 million) for sales and marketing.
The share of profit from associates and joint ventures came to NOK 9.4 million (NOK 0.5 million). This increase primarily reflected the sale of a part-owned project company.
EBITDA adjusted for financial expenses included in project costs came to NOK 134.1 million (NOK 124.8 million), corresponding to a margin of 17.2 per cent (16.3 per cent). Ordinary EBITDA was NOK 110.9 million (NOK 95.3 million), corresponding to a margin of 14.2 per cent (12.5 per cent).
Consolidated depreciation and amortisation totalled NOK 6.1 million (NOK 5.1 million), so that consolidated operating profit for the quarter came to NOK 104.8 million (NOK 90.1 million).
Net financial expenses came to NOK 9.4 million (NOK 5.9 million). Pre-tax profit for the quarter was NOK 95.4 million (NOK 84.3 million).
Net tax expense was NOK 25.9 million (NOK 23.4 million) for the quarter. Consolidated net profit came to NOK 69.5 million (NOK 60.9 million). NOK 70.9 million of the profit was attributable to the shareholders of Selvaag Bolig ASA (NOK 60.8 million), while a loss of NOK 1.4 (profit of NOK 0.1 million) was attributable to non-controlling shareholders.
(Figures in brackets relate to the corresponding period of 2014. The figures are unaudited.)
Selvaag Bolig had operating revenues of NOK 2 364.1 million (NOK 1 818.8 million) in the first nine months. Of this, revenues from units delivered totalled NOK 2 307.4 million (NOK 1 697.5 million). Other revenues are related to noncore activities, mainly rental.
A total of 658 units (595) were delivered in the first nine months, including 625 (559) from consolidated project companies.
Project costs for the first nine months totalled NOK 1 892.5 million (NOK 1 507.2 million). These primarily represented construction costs for units delivered as well as costs in other projects which did not qualify for capitalisation as inventories.
Operating costs excluding project costs and associated companies came to NOK 176.2 million (NOK 150.6 million) for the first nine months. Payroll costs accounted for NOK 67.8 million (NOK 53 million) of this figure, including NOK 3 million (NOK 4.8 million) in provision for bonuses. NOK 24.5 million (NOK 28.2 million) in payroll costs related to housing under construction was also capitalised during the period and will be expensed as project costs on future delivery.
Consolidated net cash flow from operational activities was NOK 279.7 million (NOK 56.6 million) for the quarter. The increase from the same period of 2014 primarily reflected receipts from units delivered and a rise in expenses accrued but not due. The 2014 figure included the negative effect of a rise 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.
During the first nine months, consolidated cash flow from operational activities came to NOK 316.6 million (NOK 16.1 million). The increase from 2014 primarily reflected more units delivered and a positive contribution from the decline in accounts receivable.
Net cash flow from investing activities was NOK 28.7 million (NOK 23.1 million) for the quarter. Receipts derive from the sale of interests in and dividend paid by part-owned ventures.
Other operating costs came to NOK 90.5 million (NOK 82.1 million), including NOK 37.7 million (NOK 36 million) for sales and marketing.
The share of profit from associates and joint ventures came to NOK 19.7 million (NOK 28 million). This decline primarily reflected the delivery and recognition of a large part-owned project in Stockholm last year.
EBITDA came to NOK 333 million (NOK 204.5 million) for the first nine months, corresponding to a margin of 14.1 per cent (11.2 per cent).
Consolidated operating profit for the first nine months came to NOK 315.1 million (NOK 189 million). Net financial expenses came to NOK 24.5 million (NOK 16.7 million).
Pre-tax profit for the first nine months was NOK 290.6 million (NOK 172.3 million). Net tax expense was NOK 78.8 million (NOK 46.7 million), so that consolidated net profit for the first nine months came to NOK 211.8 million (NOK 125.6 million). NOK 213.5 million of the profit was attributable to the shareholders of Selvaag Bolig ASA (NOK 124.4 million), while a loss of NOK 1.7 (profit of NOK 1.2 million) was attributable to non-controlling shareholders.
In the first nine months, net cash flow from investing activities was negative at NOK 20.8 million (positive at NOK 30.2 million). Pay-outs related to investment in the Sinsenveien 45-49 AS part-owned venture, increased investment in existing part-owned ventures, and the acquisition of fixtures, fittings and equipment. They were partly offset by the sale of interests in part-owned ventures.
Net cash flow from financing activities came to NOK 26 million (negative at NOK 56.7 million), which corresponds to the net draw-down of construction loans.
For the first nine months, net cash flow from financing activities was negative at NOK 57.1 million (positive at NOK 143.6 million). The change from the same period of last year reflected an increase in dividend for 2014 compared with 2013 and redemption of debt from projects delivered in 2015, as well as the repayment of an overdraft of NOK 55 million.
The group's holding of cash and cash equivalents at 30 September totalled NOK 804.6 million (NOK 777 million), an increase of NOK 334.4 million over the quarter.

The carrying amount of Selvaag Bolig's total inventories (land, units under construction and completed units) at 30 September was NOK 4 663.3 million, compared with NOK 4 695.3 million at 30 June and NOK 4 550.1 million a year earlier. The decrease during the quarter primarily reflected delivered units. A high level of construction activity reduced the effect. The value of completed units declined from NOK 278.1 million at 30 June to NOK 207.4 million, reflecting delivered units. See note 5 for a further specification of inventories.
Equity was NOK 2 560.2 million (NOK 2 337.7 million) at 30 September, corresponding to an equity ratio of 39.5 per cent (37 per cent). Selvaag Bolig paid NOK 112.5 million (NOK 46.9 million) in dividend during the second quarter. Noncontrolling interests amounted to NOK 13.1 million (NOK 23.9 million) of equity. The decline primarily reflected payments of NOK 9.2 million to non-controlling shareholders last year.
Other current non-interest-bearing liabilities totalled NOK 594.7 million (NOK 570.3 million) at 30 September, of which NOK 281.8 million (NOK 325.3 million) represented advance payments from customers.
At 30 September, consolidated interest-bearing debt amounted to NOK 2 810.5 million (NOK 3 023.1 million), of which NOK 2 470.1 million (NOK 2 295 million) was noncurrent and NOK 340.4 million (NOK 728.1 million) was current. The reduction in the proportion of current liabilities during the quarter reflected the redemption of construction loans for completed projects.
The group had land loans of NOK 991.5 million (NOK 1 081.9 million) at 30 September. 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 30 September.
The group has an unsecured bond loan of NOK 500 million, listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange in the third quarter of 2013. 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 30 September 2015, with an equity ratio of 39.5 per cent and a sales ratio of 78 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: liabilities in parent company Selvaag Bolig ASA (top-up loans), land loans and construction loans. At 30 September, the group had a top-up loan of NOK 493 million, land loans of NOK 992 million and construction loans of NOK 1 326 million. The top-up loan consisted of a bond carried at a net amortised cost of NOK 493 million.
Interest-bearing debt at 30 September 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
charges on construction loans are capitalised during the construction period and recognised under cost of sales in the same way. At 30 September, interest on NOK 573 million in land loans had been capitalised, while interest charges relating to NOK 419 million in loans were recognised in profit and loss.
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).

| Operating revenues |
This segment comprises all Selvaag Bolig's projects regardless of geographical location, since each project is followed up individually.
Operating revenues for the third quarter were NOK 819 million (NOK 719.1 million). They derived from 38 projects currently in production, and from land sales totalling NOK 42.6 million.
Operating costs, primarily for construction and sales, directly related to the projects amounted to NOK 665.5 million (NOK
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.
577.7 million) for the third 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 153.5 million (NOK 141.5 million) for the quarter, corresponding to a profit margin of 18.7 per cent (19.7 per cent).
Operating revenues for the third quarter came to NOK 6.6 million (NOK 4.4 million), while operating costs amounted to NOK 38 million (NOK 25.8 million). Costs are largely driven by management and administration as well as by marketing. EBITDA was thereby negative at NOK 31.4 million (NOK 21.4 million).
A total of 208 units with a combined value of NOK 750 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 204 units during the third 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.
Bergen, Tromsø and Stockholm. However, no projects were under construction in Stockholm during the third quarter.

The company sold a part-owned site at Fredensborg in Oslo during the quarter. This land had a potential for about 25 units (Selvaag Bolig's share). The group management
resolved to sell its interest because the company gives priority to sites which provide a higher volume of units.

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

The consolidated financial information has not been audited
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.
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.
See note 23 in the Group's Consolidated Financial Statements for 2014 for detailed information on related party transactions in previous years.
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.
