Results for the second quarter of 2022

(Figures in brackets relate to the corresponding period of 2021. The figures are unaudited.)

Selvaag Bolig had operating revenues of NOK 965.9 million (NOK 394.2 million) in the second quarter. Revenues from units delivered accounted for NOK 911.3 million (NOK 357.1 million) of the total. In addition, the group sold three land plots for a total of NOK 36.9 million. Other revenues derived from non-core activities, mainly provision of services.

A total of 217 units (132) were delivered in the quarter, including 148 (86) from consolidated project companies and 69 (46) from joint ventures.

Project costs for the quarter totalled NOK 804.1 million (NOK 304.8 million), of which NOK 27.0 million (NOK 9.0 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 59.7 million (NOK 52.5 million) for the period. Payroll costs accounted for NOK 28.9 million (NOK 24.6 million) of this figure. In addition, NOK 4.5 million (NOK 4.8 million) in payroll costs relating to housing under construction were capitalised during the quarter and will be expensed as project costs on future delivery.

Other operating costs came to NOK 28.3 million (NOK 25.3 million) for the quarter, including NOK 9.4 million (NOK 9.3 million) for sales and marketing.

The share of profit from associates and joint ventures came to NOK 101.2 million (NOK 39.4 million) for the quarter. This increase from the same period of 2021 primarily reflected more units delivered from joint ventures.

Reported EBITDA was NOK 205.8 million (NOK 78.9 million), corresponding to a margin of 21.3 per cent (20.0 per cent). EBITDA adjusted for financial expenses included in project costs came to NOK 232.5 million (NOK 87.9 million), corresponding to a margin of 24.1 per cent (22.3 per cent). The change in EBITDA from the second quarter of 2021 primarily reflected an increase in units delivered. The EBITDA margin was also influenced positively this quarter by an increase in deliveries in joint ventures because results from joint ventures are presented net and thus not included in turnover. For more information, see note 8 on proportional consolidation.

Consolidated depreciation and amortisation totalled NOK 2.5 million (NOK 2.6 million) for the quarter. Operating profit thereby came to NOK 203.4 million (NOK 76.3 million).

Net financial income amounted to NOK 0.5 million (minus at NOK 2.3 million). Pre-tax profit for the quarter thereby came to NOK 203.9 million (NOK 74.0 million).

Tax expense for the period was NOK 27.1 million (NOK 17.6 million). Comprehensive income for the second quarter came to NOK 176.8 million (NOK 56.4 million). NOK 176.8 million of the profit was attributable to the shareholders of Selvaag Bolig ASA (NOK 56.4 million), and NOK 0 to non-controlling shareholders (NOK 0).

Results for the first half of 2022

Selvaag Bolig had operating revenues of NOK 1 322.2 million (NOK 962.0 million) in the first half. Revenues from units delivered accounted for NOK 1 253.7 million (NOK 900.7 million) of the total. In addition, the group sold three land plots for a total of NOK 36.9 million. Other revenues related to non-core activities, mainly provision of services.

A total of 294 units (256) were delivered in the quarter, including 224 (200) from consolidated project companies and 70 (56) from joint ventures.

Project costs for the first half totalled NOK 1 057.2 million (NOK 706.0 million). Total project expenses 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 108.3 million (NOK 109.8 million) for the period. Payroll costs accounted for NOK 55.1 million (NOK 52.5 million) of this figure. In addition, NOK 9.3 million (NOK 9.6 million) in payroll costs relating to housing under construction was capitalised during the first half and will be expensed as project costs on future delivery.

Other operating costs came to NOK 48.5 million (NOK 52.1 million), including NOK 13.1 million (NOK 18.6 million) for sales and marketing.

The share of profit from associates and joint ventures came to NOK 96.2 million (NOK 45.4 million). This increase from the same period of 2021 reflected more units delivered from joint ventures.

Reported EBITDA for the first half was NOK 257.6 million (NOK 196.8 million), corresponding to a margin of 19.5 per cent (20.5 per cent). EBITDA adjusted for financial expenses included in project costs came to NOK 293.3 million (NOK 216.9 million), corresponding to a margin of 22.2 per cent (22.6 per cent). The increase in EBITDA from the first half of 2021 primarily reflected more units delivered, while the EBITDA margin is influenced by presenting results from joint ventures net rather than including them in turnover. For more information, see note 8 on proportional consolidation.

Consolidated operating profit for the first half came to NOK 252.8 million (NOK 191.6 million). Net financial expenses amounted to NOK 1.7 million (NOK 6.3 million).

Pre-tax profit for the first half was NOK 251.2 million (NOK 185.3 million). Estimated tax expense for the period is NOK 36.8 million (NOK 52.2 million).

Comprehensive income for the first half came to NOK 214.4 million (NOK 133.1 million). NOK 214.4 million of the profit was attributable to the shareholders of Selvaag Bolig ASA (NOK 133.1 million), and NOK 0 to non-controlling shareholders (NOK 0).

Cash flow

Consolidated net cash flow from operational activities was NOK 297.5 million (negative at NOK 415.2 million) for the second quarter. The increase from the same period of 2021 was primarily because of more units delivered.

In the first half, consolidated net cash flow from operational activities was negative at NOK 11 million (negative at NOK 503 million). The increase from the same period of 2021 was primarily due to a change in inventories. See note 5 for more information.

Net cash flow from investing activities amounted to NOK 44.8 million (NOK 41.3 million) for the quarter.

In the first half, cash flow from investing activities amounted to NOK 131.2 million (NOK 35.7 million). The change from the previous year is primarily due to dividends from joint ventures received in 2022.

Net cash flow from financing activities was negative at NOK 327.2 million (positive at NOK 256.1 million) for the quarter. The change from the same period of 2021 primarily reflected the redemption of construction loans this year.

In the first half, net cash flow from financing activities was NOK 61.9 million (NOK 162.1 million). The change from last year primarily reflected lower net drawdown of construction loans.

The group's holding of cash and cash equivalents at 30 June totalled NOK 709.5 million (NOK 580.2 million), an increase of NOK 15.1 million from 31 March and NOK 129.3 million from a year earlier.

Financial position

The carrying amount of Selvaag Bolig's total inventory (land, units under construction and completed units) at 30 June was NOK 4 122.2 million, compared with NOK 4 357.1 million at 31 March and NOK 4 681.1 million a year earlier. The decrease in the second quarter primarily reflected delivered units. See note 5 for a further specification of inventory.

Equity was NOK 2 395.0 million (NOK 2 288.3 million) at 30 June, corresponding to an equity ratio of 40.0 per cent (35.7 per cent). Selvaag Bolig ASA paid a dividend of NOK 279.8 million in the second quarter (NOK 280.5 million), based on profit for the second half of 2021. Non-controlling interests amounted to NOK 7.8 million (NOK 7.8 million) of equity.

Other current non-interest-bearing liabilities for the group totalled NOK 545.9 million (NOK 636.8 million) at 30 June, of which NOK 203.0 million (NOK 302.6 million) represented advance payments from customers.

At 30 June, consolidated interest-bearing debt amounted to NOK 2 538.8 million (NOK 3 000.9 million), of which 1 239.8 million (NOK 1 481.8 million) was non-current and NOK 1 299.0 million (NOK 1 519.1 million) was current. NOK 616.1 million (NOK 739.5 million) of current debt related to repurchase agreements with and seller credits for Urban Property. See note 7 for more information.

The group had land loans totalling 239.5 million (NOK 249.5 million) at 30 June. This relatively low level reflects the fact that a large part of the properties is financed through Urban Property and classified as current liabilities, repurchase agreements and seller credits. Land loans are normally converted to construction loans in line with the progress of the respective development projects.

Selvaag Bolig ASA has a credit facility agreement of NOK 150 million with DNB, which matures in April 2023. The group also has an annually renewed overdraft facility of NOK 150 million with the same bank. Furthermore, the company established

in 2021 a credit facility of NOK 300 million with DNB for infrastructure financing. This matures in January 2024. No

drawings had been made against any of these facilities at 30 June.

The group's interest-bearing debt falls primarily into four categories: 1) top-up loans, which are liabilities in parent company Selvaag Bolig ASA, 2) land loans, 3) repurchase agreements with Urban Property and 4) construction loans. At 30 June, the group had no top-up loans, land loans of NOK 240 million, repurchase agreements with Urban Property of NOK 616 million and total construction loans of NOK 1 683 million.

Interest-bearing debt at 30 June 2022 (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 June, interest of NOK 156 million on land loans had been capitalised, while interest of NOK 84 million relating to land loans was recognised in profit and loss.

In connection with the Urban Property transaction on 21 January 2020, a large proportion of the group's land loans were redeemed and replaced with liabilities in the form of repurchase agreements with Urban Property. See note 7 for a description of the collaboration with UP. This means that interest charges on land loans related to these sites, which are collectively designated Portfolio B, have been replaced by option premiums paid quarterly. These premiums are treated in the accounts in the same way as the land-loan interest charges, being capitalised as inventory and included in the cost of sales on delivery of completed units. Option premiums paid and capitalised for sites in Portfolio B came to NOK 3.7 million (NOK 4.4 million) for the second quarter and NOK 7.0 million (NOK 9.7 million) for the first half.

Portfolio C comprises land which the group has the right or obligation to purchase from Urban Property in the future. See note 7 for more information. Provision for accrued option premiums is made quarterly as other long-term assets and other long-term liabilities respectively in Selvaag Bolig's consolidated accounts). The asset is reclassified as inventory when the land is taken over. Provision for and capitalisation of option premiums for portfolio C in the second quarter came to NOK 23.3 million (NOK 21.5 million). Provision for and capitalisation of option premiums for portfolio C in the first half came to NOK 45.1 million (NOK 42.9 million). At 30 June, total provision and capitalisation came to NOK 125.2 million (NOK 56.9 million).

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" 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 (NGAAP), 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 from Housing development for the second quarter were NOK 767.8 million (NOK 868.5 million). They derived from 21 projects (17) in production.

Operating costs, primarily for construction and sales, are directly related to the projects and amounted to NOK 631.6 million (NOK 692.3 million) for the second 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 136.2 million (NOK 176.2 million) for the quarter, corresponding to a profit margin of 17.7 per cent (20.3 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 second quarter came to NOK 16.6 million (NOK 12.6 million), while operating costs amounted to NOK 49.1 million (NOK 40.2 million). Costs relate largely to remuneration for the administration and management, as well as other costs. EBITDA was thereby negative at NOK 32.5 million (negative at NOK 27.6 million).

Review of operations

All figures are presented net, adjusted for Selvaag Bolig's share of joint ventures, unless otherwise specified. Units sold are sales contracts entered into with customers pursuant to the Norwegian Housing Construction Act. Pursuant to the IFRS, these are recognised as income on delivery.

Operations

Gross sales during the quarter totalled 139 units with a combined value of NOK 751 million. Selvaag Bolig's share amounted to 120 units with a combined value of NOK 634 million.

Work started on constructing 190 units during the second quarter, so that Selvaag Bolig had 1 342 units worth some NOK 6.8 billion under construction at 30 June. A total of 210 units were completed during the quarter.

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 group has projects in Oslo, Bærum, Asker, Lørenskog, Ski, Ås, Fredrikstad, Stavanger, Sandnes, Sola, Tønsberg, Trondheim, Bergen and Stockholm. However, no projects were under construction in Bærum, Fredrikstad or Stockholm during the second quarter.

Sales development and progress

Units sold

Total housing sales during the second quarter, including Selvaag Bolig's relative share of joint ventures, amounted to 120 units with a combined sales value of NOK 634 million. These sales comprise Selvaag Bolig's consolidated project companies as well as its relative share of units sold in jointventure projects. Sales in the same period of 2021 totalled 173 units with a combined value of NOK 871 million.

Value of units sold (NOK mill)

Selvaag Bolig started sales during the quarter in four projects, comprising 213 residential units (154).

Construction began on 190 (142) units during the quarter. At 30 June, Selvaag Bolig consequently had 1 342 (1 371) units under construction. They included 1 014 units in Greater Oslo, 78 units in Trondheim, 135 units in Bergen and 115 in Rogaland county.

Construction starts can vary substantially from quarter to quarter, since construction normally only begins when 60 per cent of the units in a project have been sold.

The order backlog at 30 June – in other words, the sales value of the 1 342 (1 371) units then under construction – was NOK 6 807 million (NOK 6 749 million).

A total of 210 (120) units were completed in the second quarter, and 217 (132) – including ones completed earlier – were delivered. The completed units were spread over five projects.

At 30 June, the group held 13 (15) completed but unsold units. Consolidated project companies accounted for 148 (86) of the units delivered, while 69 (46) 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 the categories market risk, operational risk, financial risk and climate risk. 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.

As a pure housing developer, without its own construction arm, Selvaag Bolig puts all building work out to competitive tender. This means the group has great operational flexibility and can adapt its operations at short notice to changing levels of activity in the market. As a general rule, it requires 60 per cent advance sales before initiating projects. 75 per cent of total units under construction and 92 per cent of planned completions in 2022 had been sold at 30 June.

See the group's annual report, available on its website, for a more detailed explanation of the risk and uncertainty factors it faces.

Outlook

Selvaag Bolig is well-positioned with large projects centrally located in and near Greater Oslo, Stavanger, Bergen, Trondheim and Stockholm.

According to Statistics Norway, urbanisation and population growth create a large and long-term demand for new housing in Selvaag Bolig's core areas. Macroeconomic conditions and strong household purchasing power mean that Selvaag Bolig expects a stabile newbuild market going forward. There is, however, uncertainty tied to the development in household purchasing power as a result of interest rate increases, energy prices, inflation and geopolitical uncertainty. The war in Ukraine has led to reduced availability of building materials and increased construction costs. This could lead to delays in sales and construction starts due to construction costs being too high. Recently, however, prices have declined for steel and lumber, among others. Units under construction are not impacted by increased construction costs since nearly all of these have fixed price contracts.

Selvaag Bolig is well prepared organisationally, operationally and financially to support and strengthen its market position going forward. The company has a solid order reserve, upcoming first sales from new projects and capital to buy new land plots.

Transactions with related parties

Pursuant to the accounting rules, Urban Property is a related party to the group. This means that ongoing option premiums and repurchases are regarded as related-party transactions. During the second quarter, the group did not repurchase any land from UP.

See note 23 to the group's annual reports for detailed information on transactions with related parties in earlier years.

Housing market

Activity in the Norwegian housing market was normal in the second quarter, with differing price trends in Selvaag Bolig's core areas.

According to Statistics Norway, seasonally adjusted national existing home prices at 30 June were on average 1.7 per cent higher than at 31 March and up by 6.4 per cent from 30 June 2021.

Regionally, prices rose by 1.1 per cent during the quarter in Oslo including Bærum, and were 5.7 per cent higher than at 30 June 2021. In Akershus excluding Bærum, prices rose by 1.2 per cent and were up by 3.9 per cent from 30 June 2021. Prices in Stavanger rose by 0.9 per cent during the quarter, and were 6.4 per cent higher than at 30 June 2021. Prices in Bergen increased by 2.1 per cent in the quarter and were up by 6.2 per cent from 30 June 2021. In Trondheim, prices rose by 0.8 per cent for the quarter and were 8.7 per cent higher than at 30 June 2021.

Selvaag Bolig sold a gross 139 units with a combined value of NOK 751 million during the quarter and sales for the first half ended at 410 units with a value of NOK 2 152 million. Net sales, calculated by adjusting for Selvaag Bolig's share in joint ventures, were 120 units with a value of NOK 634 million in the second quarter, and 321 units valued at NOK 1 667 million for the first half.

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 has 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 2021.

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 2021.

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 2021.

3. Transactions with related parties

See note 23 to the consolidated financial statements for 2021 for detailed information on related-party transactions in previous years.

4. Segment information

The main segment is defined as Housing 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.

5. Inventory - property

The group has property which comprises land and buildings intended for sale in the ordinary course of business or in the process of construction or development for such sale. Inventories thus comprise land, property held for resale,

and property under development and construction. Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value.

6. Project expenses and EBITDA

The group expenses all directly attributable costs in construction projects as project expenses. This includes financial expenses. Below is a specification showing the

project cost and EBITDA including and excluding financial expenses.

EBITDA adjusted2 232 537 87 941 293 296 216 939 755 854

1 EBITDA is operating profit before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortisation and other gains (losses).

2 EBITDA adjusted excludes financial expenses included in project costs.

The EBITDA margin is affected positively by presenting results from joint ventures net and excluding them from turnover. For more information, see note 8 on proportional consolidation, which presents the effect if the joint ventures had been included with their share of turnover – in other words, not presented net.

7. Collaboration with Urban Property

With effect from January 2020, large parts of the available land portfolio for Selvaag Bolig (SBO) have been owned by Urban Property (UP). The companies are long-term and strategic partners. UP is owned by Oslo Pensjonsforsikring AS, Equinor Pensjon and Selvaag AS, each with a 30 per cent holding, and Rema Etablering Norge AS with 10 per cent. The Selvaag AS holding in UP makes the latter a related party to SBO pursuant to the IFRS, but not according to the Norwegian Public Limited Companies Act. See note 26 to the consolidated accounts for 2020 for detailed information on the transaction.

UP is a financially sound, well-capitalised and predictable partner. The collaboration agreement includes the following elements:

  • UP has a pre-emptive right to buy new land SBO wants to develop.
  • SBO has an option to buy back the land from UP.
  • The land is repurchased in stages by SBO at its original acquisition price plus an annual option premium of Nibor plus 3.75 per cent. In addition comes a transaction fee, which is 0.5 per cent when UP buys property from the landowner and two per cent when SBO buys from UP.
  • The agreement includes financial covenants.

Where SBO is concerned, this means:

  • that the company eliminates the need for equity to buy land, in that SBO pays 50 per cent of the purchase price to UP on taking over a property (when construction starts) and 50 per cent on completion of the project
  • a higher return on equity
  • that a higher share of the profit can be distributed as dividend
  • a more efficient and predictable financing of new and existing land
  • increased competitiveness when buying land
  • that the downside risk for SBO is limited to 48 months of option premiums (break fee)).

The transaction covered properties which were divided into Portfolios A, B and C. Portfolio A was converted to portfolio C with effect from 1 January 2021 following a renegotiation of the collaboration agreement between the parties.

Portfolio B

In accounting terms, Portfolio B is treated as a financing arrangement because SBO retains control of these properties. This means that the carrying amount of Portfolio B remains unchanged as inventory after the transaction, while the consideration from the sale of Portfolio B has been recognised as a liability for repurchase agreements (to UP) in the SBO balance sheet.

The option premium related to the properties in Portfolio B is paid quarterly. These premiums are treated for accounting purposes in the same way as interest charges on land loans. They are recognised in the balance sheet as part of inventory and expensed as cost of sales when completed residential units are delivered. Option premiums paid and capitalised for land in Portfolio B amounted to NOK 3.7 million in the second quarter (NOK 4.4 million). For the first half, premiums paid and capitalised were NOK 7.0 million (NOK 9.7 million). SBO can cancel the option at any given time on payment of a fixed break fee corresponding to 48 months of option premiums for the property. SBO pays 50 per cent of the purchase price to UP on taking over a property and 50 per cent on completion of the project.

Portfolio C

Portfolio C covers properties which the group has the right or obligation to purchase in the future. An agreement has been entered into which means that UP acquires rights and obligations corresponding to those currently held by the group in relation to the landowners. SBO will remain the formal counterparty to the present landowners. The agreement covers agreements on future property acquisitions. After UP has acquired a property, SBO will have an option to buy it back on specified terms.

Fifty per cent of the option premium in Portfolio C falls due when SBO acquires the land from UP, with the remainder falling due on completion of the relevant project. Provision for accrued option premiums is made quarterly in SBO's consolidated accounts, as other noncurrent assets and other non-current liabilities, respectively. The asset is reclassified as inventory when the land is taken over. Provision for and capitalisation of option premiums for Portfolio C amounted to NOK 23.3 million in the second quarter (NOK 21.5 million). For the first half, provisions and capitalisation were NOK 45.1 million (NOK 42.9 million). Accumulated provisions and capitalisation at 30 June totalled NOK 125.2 million (NOK 56.9 million).

SBO can cancel the option at any given time in exchange for a break fee comprising the accumulated rise in the buyback price for the property plus a fixed supplement corresponding to 48 months of growth in this price. When exercising an option, SBO pays 50 per cent of the purchase price to UP on taking over the property and 50 per cent on completion of the project.

SBO repaid a total of NOK 140.9 million in seller credits in the second quarter (NOK 0 million). Debt related to

repurchase agreements and seller credits declined to NOK 616.1 million during the quarter (NOK 739.5 million).

8. Proportional consolidation related to associate companies and joint ventures – pro forma information

Selvaag Bolig executes a number of its housing projects in collaboration with other parties, often on a 50-50 basis. These are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income pursuant to the IFRS using the equity method, where Selvaag Bolig's share of the net result is presented as share of profit/(loss) from associated companies and joint ventures. Selvaag Bolig finds that the number of collaboration projects is increasing and that, in this

context, it is relevant to provide information on how the statement of comprehensive income would have appeared were the equity interest in collaboration projects to be consolidated.

In the table below, the statement of comprehensive income pursuant to the IFRS has been restated to show the proportional consolidation of associated companies and joint ventures in accordance with Selvaag Bolig's equity interest in collaboration projects.

9. Alternative Performance Measures (APMs)

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and as endorsed by the EU. In addition, Selvaag Bolig presents several Alternative Performance Measures (APMs). APMs are performance measures not defined in the applicable financial reporting framework of IFRS and are therefore not necessarily comparable or equal to the calculation of similar measures used by other companies. The APMs are reported in addition to, but are not substitutes for, the group's consolidated financial statements, prepared in accordance with IFRS. Below we present an overview of which alternative performance measures are included in the quarterly report, why they are used and how they are defined:

EBITDA:

EBITDA is a measure of operating profit before interest, tax, depreciation, amortisation, and other gains (losses). The basis for the calculation of this are the consolidated financial statements according to IFRS, see the table below. The group presents this because group management believes that EBITDA gives useful additional information about the profitability of the group's operations. EBITDA is used by many companies and is well suited to comparing profitability between companies.

Adjusted EBITDA:

Adjusted EBITDA is EBITDA, as defined above, less financial expenses which are a part of project costs, see the table below. Since IFRS requires that financial expenses that are capitalised as a part of inventory must be expensed as costs of goods on delivery, adjusted EBITDA is presented to show the profitability of the group's operations before financial expenses. The group presents this because group management believes that adjusted EBITDA provides useful additional information about the underlying profitability of the group's operations.

EBITDA adjusted 232 537 87 941 293 296 216 939 755 854

See note 6

EBITDA (percentage of completion, NGAAP):

EBITDA (percentage of completion, NGAAP) is the operating profit before interest, tax, depreciation, amortisation, profits from associated companies and joint ventures and other gains (losses). The basis for this is from the group's segment reporting where the percentage of completion method, which is the completion ratio multiplied by sales ratio, is used, see note 4. The group presents this because group management believes that EBITDA (percentage of completion, NGAAP) give important additional information about the underlying value creation trends in the group.

Net interest-bearing debt:

Net interest-bearing debt is the sum of interest-bearing debt less cash and cash equivalents, see table on page 5. The group presents this because it believes it to be a useful indicator of the group's debt, financial flexibility and capital structure.
