Results for the third quarter of 2018

(Figures in brackets relate to the corresponding period of 2017. The figures are unaudited.)

Selvaag Bolig had operating revenues of NOK 473.2 million (NOK 379.4 million) in the third quarter. Revenues from units delivered accounted for NOK 458.6 million (NOK 359.2 million) of this total. Other revenues derived from non-core activities, mainly rental of commercial premises.

A total of 126 units (75) were delivered in the quarter, including 99 (64) from consolidated project companies.

Project costs for the quarter totalled NOK 372 million (NOK 297.4 million), of which NOK 9.9 million (NOK 18.8 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 57.8 million (NOK 53.5 million) for the period. Payroll costs accounted for NOK 30.9 million (NOK 26 million) of this figure.

A further NOK 5.3 million (NOK 5.5 million) in payroll costs related to housing under construction was capitalised during the quarter and will be expensed as project costs on future delivery. Other operating costs came to NOK 26 million (NOK 26.5 million) for the quarter, including NOK 10.4 million (NOK 8.6 million) for sales and marketing.

The share of results from associates came to NOK 30.5 million (negative at NOK 3.3 million) for the quarter. This improvement reflected increased deliveries in joint ventures.

EBITDA adjusted for financial expenses included in project costs came to NOK 84.8 million (NOK 44.9 million), corresponding to a margin of 17.9 per cent (11.8 per cent). Ordinary EBITDA was NOK 74.9 million (NOK 26.1 million), corresponding to a margin of 15.8 per cent (6.9 per cent). The increase in EBITDA primarily reflects more units delivered and a larger share of results from associates.

Consolidated depreciation and amortisation totalled NOK 0.9 million (NOK 1 million). Consolidated operating profit thereby came to NOK 73.9 million (NOK 25.1 million).

Net financial expenses amounted to NOK 4 million (NOK 5.1 million). Pre-tax profit for the quarter came to NOK 69.9 million (NOK 20.1 million).

Tax expense was NOK 13.4 million (NOK 3.7 million) for the quarter. Consolidated net profit for the third quarter consequently came to NOK 56.5 million (NOK 16.4 million). NOK 56.5 million (NOK 16.4 million) of the profit was attributable to the shareholders of Selvaag Bolig ASA, and NOK 0 (NOK 0) to non-controlling shareholders.

Results for the first nine months of 2018

(Figures in brackets relate to the corresponding period of 2017. The figures are unaudited.)

Selvaag Bolig had operating revenues of NOK 1 717.4 million (NOK 1 907.1 million) in the first nine months. Revenues from units delivered accounted for NOK 1 628.9 million (NOK 1 521 million) of this total. Furthermore, commercial property was sold for NOK 42.5 million while two sites were sold in the same period of 2017 for a total of NOK 405 million. Other revenues derived from non-core activities, mainly rental of commercial premises.

A total of 428 units (382) were delivered in the first nine months, including 362 (370) from consolidated project companies.

Project costs for the first nine months totalled NOK 1 294.3 million (NOK 1 449.9 million), which primarily represented construction costs for units delivered as well as costs in other projects which did not qualify for capitalisation as inventory.

Operating costs excluding project costs and associates totalled NOK 188.8 million (NOK 172.7 million) for the period. Payroll costs accounted for NOK 100.2 million (NOK 83.4 million) of this figure. This increase primarily reflected provisions for termination payments and compensation related to efficiency improvement processes and terminated employment. A further NOK 16 million (NOK 17.1 million) in payroll costs related to housing under construction was capitalised during the quarter and will be expensed as project costs on future delivery.

Other operating costs came to NOK 85.7 million (NOK 86.2 million) for the quarter, including NOK 23.8 million (NOK 30.3 million) for sales and marketing.

Cash flow

Consolidated net cash flow from operational activities was NOK 202.8 million (negative at NOK 163.4 million) for the third quarter. The change from the same period of last year primarily reflected the positive effect of a reduction in accounts receivable for units delivered. See the section below on accounts receivable for more information.

Consolidated net cash flow from operational activities was negative at NOK 248.1 million (negative at NOK 203.1 million) in the first nine months. This decline primarily reflected the fact that the 2017 figure included settlement for the sale of Lørenveien 64. That was partly offset by the increase in units delivered. See note 5 on inventory for more information.

Net cash flow from investing activities was NOK 47.4 million (negative at NOK 45.7 million) for the quarter. The change from the same period of 2017 primarily reflected dividend received from joint ventures and the inclusion in 2017 of

The share of results from associates came to NOK 45 million (negative at NOK 17.3 million) for the first nine months. This improvement reflected the number of deliveries in joint ventures and the fact that 2017 included an impairment charge of NOK 10 million in a west Norwegian joint venture.

EBITDA adjusted for financial expenses included in project costs came to NOK 313.8 million (NOK 383.3 million), corresponding to a margin of 18.3 per cent (19.5 per cent). Ordinary EBITDA was NOK 282.2 million (NOK 333.3 million), corresponding to a margin of 16.4 per cent (16.9 per cent). The decline in EBITDA must be viewed in relation to the above-mentioned increase in payroll costs and two property sales in the first nine months of 2017. See the paragraph on operating revenues.

Consolidated operating profit thereby came to NOK 279.4 million (NOK 330.2 million) for the first nine months. Net financial expenses came to NOK 15.9 million (NOK 37.3 million). This reduction primarily reflected one-off cost related to the redemption of the bond loan in 2017 and the consequent decline in financial expenses since then.

Consolidated pre-tax profit for the first nine months was NOK 263.5 million (NOK 292.9 million). With tax expense amounting to NOK 59.9 million (NOK 54 million), consolidated net profit came to NOK 203.6 million (NOK 238.9 million) for the first nine months. NOK 203.7 million (NOK 238.8 million) of the profit was attributable to the shareholders of Selvaag Bolig ASA, and a negative NOK 0.1 million (positive NOK 0.1 million) to non-controlling shareholders.

substantial investments in and capital transfers to joint ventures.

Net cash flow from investing activities was NOK 79.8 million (negative at NOK 143.7 million) for the first nine months. The change from the same period of 2017 primarily reflected the inclusion of substantial investments in and capital transfers to joint ventures in last year's figure, and the receipt of dividends from joint ventures by the group in 2018.

Net cash flow from financing activities was negative at NOK 261.2 million (positive at NOK 107.2 million) for the quarter. The change from the same period of 2017 primarily reflected the increase in construction loans redeemed and dividends paid in 2018.

Net cash flow from financing activities was NOK 104.9 million (negative at NOK 300.3 million) for the first nine months. The same period of 2017 saw the redemption of the bond loan and payments for repurchasing the company's own shares in connection with the employee share programme. That was partly offset by the increase in dividend paid in 2018.

The group's holding of cash and cash equivalents at 30 September totalled NOK 422.1 million (NOK 239.1 million), down by NOK 11 million from 30 June and up by NOK 183 million from a year earlier.

Cash flow summary

Financial position

The carrying amount of Selvaag Bolig's total inventory (land, units under construction and completed units) at 30 September was NOK 4 944.8 million, compared with NOK 4 784.8 million at 30 June and NOK 4 778.8 million a year earlier. The increase during the third quarter primarily reflected construction activity in ongoing projects. See note 5 for a further specification of inventory.

Consolidated accounts receivable came to NOK 228.7 million at 30 September, compared with NOK 483.6 million three months earlier and NOK 142.1 million at the same date in 2017. The reduction in the third quarter reflected the delivery of a considerable number of units at the end of the second quarter, so that settlement was received in the following month. This is regarded a normal fluctuation and involves no credit risk, since the funds are held in a client account at the settlement agent from delivery of the unit until final settlement is received.

Equity was NOK 2 731.7 million (NOK 2 688.7 million) at 30 September, corresponding to an equity ratio of 41 per cent (42.4 per cent). Selvaag Bolig ASA paid NOK 184.9 million (NOK 109.9 million) in dividend during the third quarter, based on results for the first half of 2018. Non-controlling interests amounted to NOK 9.3 million (NOK 9.4 million) of equity.

Other current non-interest-bearing liabilities for the group totalled NOK 867.3 million (NOK 765.3 million) at 30 September, of which NOK 337.2 million (NOK 476.5 million) represented advance payments from customers.

At 30 September, consolidated interest-bearing debt amounted to NOK 2 695 million (NOK 2 496.7 million), of which NOK 1 897.1 million (NOK 1 923 million) was noncurrent and NOK 797.9 million (NOK 573.7 million) was current. The increase in current debt from last year primarily reflected projects approaching completion.

The group had land loans totalling NOK 1 226 million (NOK 1 193.2 million) at 30 September. These are normally converted to construction loans in line with the progress of the respective construction projects.

Selvaag Bolig ASA has a credit facility agreement with DNB. This has been expanded from NOK 400 million to NOK 500 million in 2018 and matures in April 2022. The company also has an annually renewed credit facility of NOK 150 million. No drawings had been made against any of these facilities at 30 September.

The group's interest-bearing debt falls primarily into three categories: 1) top-up loans, which are liabilities in parent company Selvaag Bolig ASA, 2) land loans and 3) construction loans. At 30 September, the group had no top-up loans, land loans of NOK 1 226 million and construction loans of NOK 1 469 million.

Interest-bearing debt at 30 Sep. 2018 (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 861 million in land loans had been capitalised, while interest charges relating to NOK 365 million in land loans spread over three projects were recognised in profit and loss.

Operational reporting

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 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, since each project is followed up individually.

Operating revenues for the third quarter were NOK 695.9 million (NOK 487.6 million). They derived from 19 projects currently in production, compared with 18 at the same time last year.

Operating costs, primarily for construction and sales, are directly related to the projects and amounted to NOK 509.5 million (NOK 355.5 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 186.4 million (NOK 132.1 million) for the quarter, corresponding to a profit margin of 26.8 per cent (25 per cent).

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 segment in the third quarter came to NOK 9.7 million (NOK 10 million), while operating costs amounted to NOK 41.5 million (NOK 39.3 million). Costs relate largely to remuneration for the administration and management, as well as to central marketing. EBITDA was thereby negative at NOK 31.8 million (negative at NOK 29.2 million).

Construction began on 102 (77) units during the quarter. Construction starts can vary substantially from quarter to quarter, since construction normally only begins when 60 per cent of the value in a project has been sold.

At 30 September, Selvaag Bolig had 1 488 (1 582) units under construction. They included 1 214 units in Greater Oslo, 210 in the rest of Norway and 65 abroad.

The order backlog at 30 September – in other words, the sales value of the 1 488 (1 582) units then under construction – was NOK 6 908 million (NOK 7 047 million).

A total of 117 (81) units were completed in the third quarter, and 126 (75) – including ones completed earlier – were delivered. The completed units were divided between the Hovinenga, Tiedemannsfabrikken and Lørenskog Stasjonsby projects. A total of 12 (30) completed units were unsold at 30 September. Consolidated project companies accounted for 99 (64) of the units delivered, while 27 (11) were in partowned project companies.

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 2017.

IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers is a new standard for income recognition introduced on 1 January 2018. It replaces IAS 18, which applies in part to sales of goods and services, and IAS 11 on construction contracts, as well as IFRIC 15, which has been the prevailing interpretation of the income recognition rules for residential property sales. Current practice on income recognition related to property development projects for own account in Norway will not change with the implementation of IFRS 15. The matter has been under consideration by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC), and a final decision was issued in March 2018.

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 2017.

The group has assessed changes to standards with a later implementation date, and has identified that IFRS 16 Leases, which takes effect from 1 January 2019, will have an effect on the accounts. This effect is not considered significant.

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 2017.

3. Transactions with related parties

See note 23 in the group's Consolidated Financial Statements for 2017 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.
