Results for the first quarter of 2019

(Figures in brackets relate to the corresponding period of 2018. The figures are unaudited.)

Selvaag Bolig had operating revenues of NOK 109.2 million (NOK 380.6 million) in the first quarter. Revenues from units delivered accounted for NOK 92.8 million (NOK 323.2 million) of this total. Other revenues derived from non-core activities, mainly rental of commercial premises.

A total of 29 units (59) were delivered in the quarter, including 17 (59) from consolidated project companies.

Project costs for the quarter totalled NOK 69.5 million (NOK 275.9 million), of which NOK 2.6 million (NOK 5.3 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 totalled NOK 60 million (NOK 58.3 million) for the period. Payroll costs accounted for NOK 27.2 million (NOK 26.8 million) of this figure.

A further NOK 5.5 million (NOK 5.6 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 29.6 million (NOK 30.5 million) for the quarter, including NOK 12.5 million (NOK 5.9 million) for sales and marketing.

The share of results from associates came to NOK 5.6 million (negative at NOK 1.9 million) for the quarter. This improvement reflected a larger number of deliveries in joint ventures.

Reported EBITDA was negative at NOK 11.5 million (positive at NOK 45.4 million), corresponding to a negative margin of 10.5 per cent (positive at 11.9 per cent). The decline in EBITDA primarily reflects fewer units delivered. EBITDA adjusted for financial expenses included in project costs was negative at NOK 9 million (positive at NOK 50.7 million), corresponding to a negative margin of 8.2 per cent (positive at 13.3 per cent). See the section on interest-bearing debt below and note 6 to the financial statements for more information.

Consolidated depreciation and amortisation totalled NOK 3.3 million (NOK 0.9 million). This increase reflects the introduction of a new accounting standard for leases, IFRS 16, where part of the lease expenses is classified as depreciation. The consolidated operating loss thereby came to NOK 14.8 million (profit of NOK 44.5 million).

Net financial expenses amounted to NOK 5.8 million (NOK 3.6 million). The pre-tax loss for the quarter came to NOK 20.6 million (profit of NOK 40.9 million).

A positive net contribution from tax of NOK 5.3 million is calculated for the quarter, compared with a tax expense of NOK 9.6 million in the same period of 2018. The consolidated net loss for the first quarter consequently came to NOK 15.2 million (profit of NOK 31.3 million). NOK 15.2 million of the loss was attributable to the shareholders of Selvaag Bolig ASA, compared with NOK 31.3 million of last year's profit, and NOK 0 (NOK 0) to non-controlling shareholders.

Cash flow

Consolidated net cash flow from operational activities was negative at NOK 358.1 million (NOK 311.7 million) for the first quarter. The change from the same period of last year primarily reflected fewer units delivered. See note 5 on inventories for more information.

Net cash flow from investing activities came to NOK 39.7 million (NOK 34 million) for the quarter. This figure primarily represents receipts from the settlement of seller credits and dividend from part-owned companies.

Net cash flow from financing activities was NOK 226.4 million (NOK 131.6 million) for the quarter, almost entirely related to NOK 280 million in new construction loans raised during the period. The change from the same period of 2018 primarily reflected reduced redemption of construction loans.

The group's holding of cash and cash equivalents at 31 March totalled NOK 565 million (NOK 339.5 million), down by NOK 92 million from 31 December but up by NOK 225.6 million from a year earlier.

Financial position

The carrying amount of Selvaag Bolig's total inventory (land, units under construction and completed units) at 31 March was NOK 4 614.9 million, compared with NOK 4 306.3 million at 31 December and NOK 4 912.8 million a year earlier. The increase during the first quarter primarily reflected fewer units delivered. See note 5 for a further specification of inventory.

Equity was NOK 3 099.4 million (NOK 2 912.2 million) at 31 March, corresponding to an equity ratio of 47.1 per cent (45.3 per cent). Non-controlling interests amounted to NOK 7.9 million (NOK 9.4 million) of equity.

Other current non-interest-bearing liabilities for the group totalled NOK 521 million (NOK 833.3 million) at 31 March, of which NOK 269 million (NOK 393.8 million) represented advance payments from customers.

At 31 March, consolidated interest-bearing debt amounted to NOK 2 560.9 million (NOK 2 358.6 million), of which NOK 1 942.8 million (NOK 1 998.8 million) was non-current and NOK 618.1 million (NOK 359.7 million) was current. The increase in current debt primarily reflected projects approaching completion.

The group had land loans totalling NOK 1 357.2 million (NOK 1 252.3 million) at 31 March. 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 of NOK 500 million with DNB, which matures in April 2022. This facility was increased by NOK 100 million in 2018. The company also has an annually renewed overdraft facility of NOK 150 million with DNB. No drawings had been made against any of these facilities at 31 March.

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 31 March, the group had no top-up loans, land loans of NOK 1 357 million and total construction loans of NOK 1 204 million.

Interest-bearing debt at 31 Mar. 2019 (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 31 March, interest on NOK 992 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 first quarter were NOK 671 million (NOK 561.8 million). They derived from 19 projects (21) currently in production. The increase from the same period of last year reflects a higher sales ratio in the projects.

Operating costs, primarily for construction and sales, are directly related to the projects and amounted to NOK 482.5 million (NOK 410.5 million) for the first quarter. Construction costs in the segment reporting are exclusive of directlyrelated 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 188.5 million (NOK 151.3 million) for the quarter, corresponding to a profit margin of 28.1 per cent (26.9 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 first quarter came to NOK 9.5 million (NOK 10.1 million), while operating costs amounted to NOK 43.7 million (NOK 44.2 million). Costs relate largely to remuneration for the administration and management, as well as to central marketing. EBITDA was thereby negative at NOK 34.2 million (NOK 34.2 million).

Review of operations

Operations

A total of 270 units with a combined value of NOK 1 320 million were sold during the quarter. Selvaag Bolig's share amounted to 243 units sold with a combined value of NOK 1 183 million.

Activity in the group was at a high level, with 1 534 units worth some NOK 7.1 billion under construction. Work started on constructing 97 units during the first quarter, and 12 were completed.

To manifest value creation in the group, segment reporting shows revenue and costs in the various projects using the percentage of completion method as its accounting principle.

Projects

The company has projects in Oslo, Bærum, Asker, Lørenskog, Moss, Ski, Stavanger, Sandnes, Sola, Tønsberg, Trondheim, Bergen and Stockholm. However, no projects were under construction in Asker, Bærum, Ski or Sandnes during the first quarter.

Sales development and progress

Units sold

Total sales during the first quarter, including Selvaag Bolig's relative share of joint ventures, amounted to 243 units with a combined sales value of NOK 1 183 million. These sales comprise Selvaag Bolig's consolidated project companies as well as its relative share of units sold in joint-venture projects. Sales in the same period of 2018 totalled 185 units with a combined value of NOK 693 million. The increased value reflects more units sold and a higher average price per unit.

Selvaag Bolig started sales during the quarter in three projects, comprising a total of 197 residential units (60).

Total 197

Construction began on 97 (102) 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 31 March, Selvaag Bolig had 1 534 (1 511) units under construction. They included 1 192 units in Greater Oslo, 278 in the rest of Norway and 65 abroad.

The order backlog at 31 March – in other words, the sales value of the 1 534 (1 511) units then under construction – was NOK 7 097 million (NOK 7 032 million).

A total of 12 (54) units were completed in the first quarter, and 29 (59) – including ones completed earlier – were delivered.

At 31 March, the group held 13 (19) completed but unsold units. Consolidated project companies accounted for 17 (59) of the units delivered, while 12 (0) were in part-owned project companies.

Risk and uncertainty factors

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.

Macroeconomic conditions, particularly unemployment and interest rates, as well as demographic changes, are factors which affect the group's progress. See the company's annual report, available on its website, for a more detailed explanation of the risk and uncertainty factors it faces.

Transactions with related parties

Selvaag Bolig conducted no significant transactions with related parties during the quarter. See note 23 to the group's annual reports for detailed information on transactions with related parties in earlier years.

Housing market

According to Statistics Norway (SSB), seasonally adjusted Norwegian house prices at 31 March were on average 0.3 per cent higher than at 31 December and up by three per cent from 31 March 2018. Price developments differed between Selvaag Bolig's core areas during the quarter. Overall prices rose by 0.5 per cent during the quarter in Oslo including Bærum, and were 4.6 per cent higher than at 31 March 2018. In Akershus county excluding Bærum, prices rose by 0.5 per cent and were up by 2.5 per cent from 31 March 2018.

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 2018.

IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers is a 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. Earlier practice for income recognition related to property development projects for own account in Norway will not change with the implementation of IFRS 15. The matter was considered by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) and a final decision issued in March 2018.

IFRS 16 Leases is a new standard introduced on 1 January 2019. It will mean that almost all leases must be recognised in the balance sheet. The standard removes the distinction between operating and financing leases and requires recognition of a right to use (the right to use the leased asset) and a financial liability which represents the present value of rental payments for the right to use. An exemption from this solution can be chosen for short-term and low-value leases. The income statement will also be affected because operating expenses are replaced by interest and depreciation, so key metrics such as EBITDA will change. Operating cash flows will be higher since cash payments for the principal part of the lease liability are classified as a financing activity. The effects are not considered to be material.

The accounting policies applied in preparing these interim condensed consolidated financial statements are otherwise consistent with those applied in the group's consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2018.

2. Accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions

The preparation of interim financial information requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions which 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 which applied in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2018.

3. Transactions with related parties

See note 23 to the consolidated financial statements for 2018 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 on the basis of 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 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.
