Selvaag Bolig achieved operating revenues of NOK 3.25 billion in 2015 and an EBITDA margin adjusted for financial expenses of 16.6 per cent. Good results and a promising outlook mean the board proposes a dividend of NOK 0.80 per share for the second half of 2015. That will give a total dividend of NOK 1.50 per share for the year, up by 25 per cent from 2014.

"Last year demonstrated that we're living up to our ambition of being a leading player for quality, sales figures, profit and return to shareholders," says CEO Baard Schumann.

"Even with the slowdown in the Stavanger market, we sold 935 homes for NOK 3.2 billion. Eighty-eight per cent of the units we're completing in 2016 have already been sold. In other words, we'll be continuing to deliver good results in the time to come."

Sales in 2015 provided the basis for starting to build 858 homes. By 31 December, the company had 1 339 units worth some NOK 4.7 billion under construction. Seventy-seven of these had been sold. At 31 December, the company had 65 completed but unsold homes.

On the basis of last year's results and the present outlook, the board of Selvaag Bolig has proposed a dividend of NOK 0.80 per share for the second half of 2015. That will bring total dividend for the year to NOK 1.50 per share, an increase of 25 per cent from the NOK 1.20 paid in 2014 and close to the target of paying up to 50 per cent of net profit as dividend.

During 2015, Selvaag Bolig further increased its land portfolio in such areas as Oslo, Trondheim and Bergen in order to meet high demand.

"We take an optimistic view of market trends in our core areas for the coming year. Rapid urbanisation and low mortgage interest rates create a big demand for new homes in regions where we have a strong position. The current year has begun well and looks set to stay good for us," says Schumann.
