Selvaag Bolig ASA: Q3 2018: Good outlook for results

Report this content

Selvaag Bolig had operating revenues of NOK 1.7 billion in the first nine months of 2018 and forecasts a record number of homes delivered in the fourth quarter.

"We've had a good year so far, and results for the third quarter are a significant improvement on the same period of last year. We're now on a par with 2017 for both sales and results," says acting CEO Olav H Selvaag. "

"Viewed in isolation, the third quarter had relatively few deliveries, but we have guided that a record number of homes are set to be completed in the fourth quarter. This means that value creation for the year as a whole will be very good."

At 30 September, Selvaag Bolig had a net total of 1 488 homes under construction with a combined sales value of NOK 6.9 billion. Seventy-four per cent of the units are already sold.

"These homes will be delivered over the next three years," says Selvaag. "We also believe in a good and stable market in the time to come, which will provide the basis for continued growth and good results in both the short term and the longer perspective."

* Net sales include Selvaag Bolig's share of joint venture projects. Gross sales include all homes in joint venture projects.
** Pursuant to the IFRS, all profit is recognised when the homes are delivered to the buyer. Profit pursuant to the IFRS accordingly derives primarily from homes which began to be built roughly two years ago.
*** The accounts pursuant to Norwegian generally accepted accounting principles (NGAAP) utilise the percentage of completion method. This means that profits are recognised on the basis of construction progress and sales in the projects. That presents ongoing value creation in the company.
