Strategy and goals
- Allocated capital: BNOK 2.5 in capital invested
- Goal: 15% return on capital invested
- Average over past five years: 14.1%
What does this mean?
- BNOK 2.5 x 15% = MNOK 375 (EBIT)
- Financial cost - MNOK 100 (BNOK 2 x 5%)
- EBT goal = MNOK 275
Q1 2010
VEIDEKKE
Property development, Scandinavia
Strategy and goal – calculation
- An average flat gives a contribution of MNOK 0.35
(3 MNOK x 12%) - EBT goal: MNOK 275
-
Overhead: + MNOK 75 (including capitalised financial expenses)
MNOK 350 (covered by projects) -
We must have MNOK 350/MNOK 0.35 = approximately 1 000 flats under production/delivered to achieve our goal
-
This implies: A production level of approximately 1 500 flats
