Selvaag Bolig (Sell, TP: NOK30.00) - Q3 miss, Urban Property covenants

While Q3 was an expected low season, with few deliveries, EPS was below our forecast on higher costs. The POC EBIT margin also fell more than we estimated, but we expect this to improve in the coming quarters with more starts. The company said it has renegotiated the terms with Urban Property, and the NIBD/EBITDA covenant will now use the POC (NGAAP) figures (previously volatile IFRS figures), thereby removing the potential 2025 covenant breach. However, we continue to find consensus recovery expectations too bullish, and reiterate our SELL and NOK30 target price.
