HusCompagniet confirms outlook for 2023
The first half of 2023 was characterised by increased demand compared to second half of
2022 and ended with 445 houses sold. This is in line with expectations but still below historic
average. The financial result for the first half of 2023 was however affected by the low sales
for newbuild in second half of 2022 and HusCompagniet generated revenue of DKK 1,280
million and EBITDA of DKK 58 million. The second quarter included a re-evaluation of
provisions related to prior years of DKK 15m.
“
The first half of 2023 has been satisfactory on the back of a very challenged 2022. We are pleased
to see that demand in the detached segment is increasing and profitability is improving”
says CEO
Martin Ravn-Nielsen and continues.
“We are also pleased to see that our customer satisfaction continues to be at a very high level”

Business Update
During the first half of 2023 we saw a
recovery in the demand for newbuild
compared to the second half of 2022. This
was primarily driven by increased activity in
the general housing market, a more stable
development in the interest rate, lower
inflation and improved consumer confidence.
This is particular applicable to the detached
market in Denmark.
The higher demand for newbuild during the
first six months of 2023 resulted in 445
houses sold. The activity level is still below a
historic average and uncertainty remains
high going forward despite increased
visibility.
The semi-detached segment experiences an
increase in activity and dialogue with
professional investors. We do however
experience a market that is impacted by
uncertainty and a minimum of deals are
committed. The return requirement is not in
balance with the high and fluctuating interest
rates. We believe the fundamental demand
from end costumers is still present and the
activity will return.
The Swedish economy suffers from
continued high inflation, high interest rates
and low consumer confidence. We are
looking into opportunities of utilizing the
Swedish factory capacity to deliver to the
semi-detached segment in Denmark.
HusCompagniet generated revenue of DKK
1,280 million in H1 2023. The core market,
Danish detached houses, comprised 67% of
the revenue while Semi-detached and
Sweden comprised 19% and 14%,
respectively.
Customer satisfaction
We are pleased to see that customer ratings
remain high, and we continue to have the
best rating in the industry, with a satisfaction
score of 4.8 out of 5.0 on Trustpilot with more
than 5,000 reviews.
Capital structure and dividend
The management and board reviewed the
financing and capital structure of
HusCompagniet. This resulted in a capital
equity raise and refinancing of current
facilities.
With completion of the capital raise of 19.2%
and the refinancing in place with the current
financing banks, HusCompagniet secured
liquidity and flexibility to be able to carry out
strategic investments and implement
commercial initiatives.
The financial leverage was 2.5x LTM EBITDA
H1 2023.
With the capital increase the share capital of
HusCompagniet consists of 21,710,000
shares of nominally DKK 5 each, equivalent
to a registered share capital of DKK
108,550,000.
The New Facilities Agreement restricts
dividends and share buy backs until 30 June
2024 (except for share buy backs to hedge
positions under share-based incentive
programmes).
HusCompagniet expects to resume dividend
payments once the leverage is back at
appropriate levels.

HusCompagniet A/S, Agerøvej 31, 8381 Tilst, CVR: 36972963
Financial review for the first half
of 2023
Revenue
HusCompagniet reported a total revenue of
DKK 1,280 million in H1 2023, down 44% from
DKK 2,266 million in H1 2022. Average
selling price (ASP) for the Detached segment
increased to DKK 2.9 million from DKK 2.4
million in H1 2022.
Gross margin
Gross margin was 20.9%, up from 18.8% in H1
2022. The development was mainly driven
by the semi-detached segment and a
continuous focus on margins. The acquisition
of the factory last year has played a pivotal
role in driving this positive trend. The
detached segment was negatively affected
by the
re-evaluation of provision of DKK 15
million.
EBITDA before special items
Reported EBITDA before special items was
DKK 58 million compared with DKK 175
million in H1 2022. This corresponds to an
EBITDA margin before special items of 4.5%
compared to a margin of 7.7% in H1 2022.
The EBITDA margin was 5.7% excluding the
provision of DKK 15 million.
The development was mainly due to
decreased revenue (fewer deliveries). SG&A
decreased as a result of cost cutting
initiatives started in 2022. The number of
FTEs was down 78. The SG&A level is
expected to further decrease in the second
half of 2023 due to staff reductions made in
H2 2022 and H1 2023.
Amortisation and depreciation
Amortisation and depreciation amounted to
DKK 22 million against DKK 23 million in H1
2022. Amortisation mainly consists of
development projects including ERP system.
Depreciation mainly refers to leasing
contracts and factory equipment.
EBIT
Reported EBIT amounted to DKK 35 million
against DKK 151 million in H1 2022,
corresponding to a margin of 2.7% and 6.7%
respectively. The margin level reflected a
challenging market.
Net financials
Reported net financials was an expense of
DKK 22 million compared to an expense of
DKK 10 million in H1 2022. The increase is
due to refinancing costs from full
amortization of cost related to previous loan
and higher interest.
Profit for the period before tax for
continued operations
Profit for period before tax from the
continued operation was DKK 12 million in H1
2023 compared with DKK 141 million in H1
2022.
Taxation
Reported tax for H1 2023 was DKK 2 million
against DKK 32 million in H1 2022.
Discontinued operations
During 2020, the Group closed its German
and Swedish brick house activities. Loss from
discontinued operations was DKK 3 million
reflecting an increase in provisions for the
close down expenses.

Cash flow
Operating activities
Net cash generated from operating activities
was DKK 97 million compared with DKK 7
million in H1 2022 driven by the lower activity
level.
Investing activities
Net investments related to development
projects and property, plant, and equipment,
were DKK 11 million in H1 2023 compared to
DKK 17 million in H1 2022.
Financing activities
Cash flows from finance of DKK 2 million are
mainly related to the capital raise of DKK 207
million and the repayment of loans (DKK 175
million). No dividends were paid to
shareholders in 2023, whereas DKK 29
million was paid in 2022.
Free cash flow
Free cash flow was DKK 87 million against
negative DKK 10 million in H1 2022, mainly
driven by operating activities.
Balance sheet
Financing
Net interest-bearing debt (NIBD) totalled DKK
489 million H1 2023 against DKK 768 million
end 2022. The net interest-bearing debt to
EBITDA ratio was 2.5x compared to 2.4x at
year-end 2022. The decrease in debt was
mainly due to the capital raise and new
capital loan structure.
Equity
The Groups equity increased by DKK 183
million in H1 2023 and ended at DKK 2,064
million. The increase was based on capital
increase of DKK 207 million, partly offset
from cost of capital increase (DKK 8 million),
purchase of own shares (DKK 8 million).
Net working capital
Net working capital totalled DKK 461 million
H1 2023, down from DKK 671 million H1 2022.
The change was mainly caused by a
decrease in contract assets, partly offset by
an increase of trade and other payables.
7
HusCompagniet A/S, Agerøvej 31, 8381 Tilst, CVR: 36972963
Contract assets
Contract assets (net) amounted to DKK 425
million compared to DKK 737 million end of
H1 2022. The development reflected the low
sales level in H2 2022.
Dividend
Dividends are suspended in 2023 and thus
no distribution to shareholders in 2023.
HusCompagniet expects to return to making
dividend payments, once the leverage is
back within the long-term target.

expected to be DKK 100 – 130 million
• Operating profit (EBIT) is expected to

disruption of supply chains emerging, on raw
material prices not significantly exceeding
current levels and that the market will slowly
pick-up during 2023.
• Current expectations for 2023
deliveries are between 950 and
1,100
• Revenue from the semi-detached
segment is assumed to be around
DKK 350-450 million
General assumptions
General assumptions comprise assumptions
relating to macro-economic conditions,
industry considerations, regulatory changes,
and customer behaviour (particularly in the
light of the Covid-19 pandemic). The Group’s
estimates assume that there will not be any
material change in the competitive or
regulatory landscape, and no other external
actions.
Forward-looking statements

statements on various matters, such as
expected earnings and future strategies and
expansion plans. Such statements are
uncertain and involve various risks, as many
factors, some of which are beyond our
control, may result in actual developments
differing considerably from the set
expectations. Such factors include but are
not limited to general economic and business
conditions, exchange rate and interest rate
fluctuations, the demand for our services and
competition in the market.

1 Accounting policies
This interim condensed financial report comprises the period 1 January – 30 June 2023.
The interim condensed financial report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting as adopted by the EU and
Danish disclosure requirements for listed companies.
The financial part of the interim condensed financial report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 for interim condensed consolidated
financial statements.
The accounting policies are unchanged from the 2022 consolidated financial statements, to which reference is made except the changes
stated below. A full description of accounting policies is provided in the 2022 consolidated financial statements.
Changes to accounting policies
HusCompagniet A/S has implemented the following new or amended standards and interpretations with effect from 1 January 2023:
· Amendments to Definition of Accounting Estimates - Amendments to IAS 8; Disclosure of Accounting Policies - Amendments to IAS 1 and
IFRS Practice Statement 2; Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a Single Transaction – Amendments to IAS 12.
HusCompagniet A/S has implemented the standards and interpretations that became effective in the EU for 2023. None of these standards or
interpretations has affected recognition or measurement in 2023 or is expected to affect the Group.
2 Accounting estimates and judgements
In preparing the interim condensed financial statements, management made various judgements, estimates and assumptions concerning
future events that affected the application of the Group’s accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income, and
expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The significant estimates made by management applying the Group’s accounting policies and the associated significant estimating
uncertainties are the same for the preparation of the interim condensed financial statements as for the preparation of the consolidated
financial statements for 2022.
3 Segment information
For management purposes, the Group is organised into business units based on its products and services as well as geographical location.
The Group has three reportable segments, as follows:
- The detached houses in Denmark segment, which comprise brick houses built on site and plots
- The semi-detached houses in Denmark segment, which comprises brick houses built on sites and plots, includes both business-to-business
and business-to-consumers. In 2022 an acquisition of a pre-fab factory was completed. The pre-fab factory produces components used in
semi-detached production
- The Swedish business comprise detached prefabricated houses
No operating segments have been aggregated to form the above reportable operating segments.
Executive Management is responsible for operating results of its business units separately for the purpose of making decisions about resource
allocation and performance assessment. Segment performance is evaluated based on EBITDA and is measured consistently with operating
profit (EBIT) plus amortisation and depreciation in the consolidated financial statements. The Group's depreciation, amortisations, financing
(including financial income and financial expenses) and income taxes are managed on a Group basis and are not allocated to operating
segments. Assets and Liabilities are not allocated to segments.
Transfer prices between operating segments are on an arm's length basis in a manner similar to transactions with third parties.

The Group is engaged in construction activities in Denmark and Sweden.
Non-contracted sales are recognised on delivery (point-in-time). Contracted sales are recognised over time. Payment is typically due at the
time of final delivery of the house project; however, a small deposit is paid upon contract negotiation.
The Group receives a bank guarantee in connection with the start-up of each contract, and is entitled to payment for work performed,
including profit, during the project. Construction contracts with professional investors may also include payments on account.
Contracted sales comprise the sale of houses constructed on the customers land, or houses sold on own land (semi-detached includes land
plots) that are covered by a customer contract before construction is started.

Conversely, non-contracted sales comprise of:
1. The sale of houses constructed on own land to which no customer contract has been entered into before construction starts.
2. The sale of detached land-plots to which no customer contract has been entered into before purchase and development of the land plots.
5 Discontinued operations
In 2019, the Group decided to close its German activities and to focus on its original core market segments. The decision was driven by the
difficulty of establishing a network of suppliers to support its business and of establishing significant brand recognition in a large new market.
Also in 2019, the Group decided to cease its Swedish brick-house business activities due to the substantial differences in the supply and sales
process in Sweden as compared to Denmark and due to Swedish customer preferences for wood rather than brick houses. The German and
Swedish brick house activities were closed during September 2020. The closing of the discontinued operations are proceeding as expected.
The closing is expected to be finalised in 2024.

Construction contracts (assets/liabilities)
Contract assets comprise the selling price of work performed where the Group does not yet have an unconditional right to payment, as the
work performed has not yet been approved by the customer.
Contract liabilities comprise agreed, unconditional payments received on account for work yet to be performed.
Payment is typically due at the time of final delivery of the house project; however, a small deposit is paid upon contract negotiation. The
Group receives a bank guarantee in connection with the start-up of each contract, and is entitled to payment for work performed, including
profit during the project.
Delivery obligations are lower in H1 2023 due to a decline in sales compared to H1 2022.
Credit risk on contract assets is generally managed by regular credit rating of customers and business partners. The credit risk exposure
relating to dealing with private counterparties is estimated to be limited.

9 Impairment
For impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to the three CGU’s (“Detached”, “Semi-detached” and “Wooden houses”), which are also the
operating and reportable segments. Among other factors, the Group considers the relationship between its market capitalization and the
carrying value of assets including goodwill, when assessing for indicators of impairment. Impairment tests are performed separately for all
three CGU’s once a year or more frequently if indication of impairment exists. On H1 2023 Management has revisited forecasts for all three
CGU’s and concludes that no impairments are necessary
Key Assumptions
The recoverable amount determined in the impairment test is based on a value-in-use calculation. To determine the value-in-use, management
is required to estimate the present value of the future free net cash flows based on budgets and strategy for the coming 5 years (“the budget
period”) as well as projections for the terminal period after the budget period. A 5-year period is used to reflect a full business cycle.
Assumptions are used in the estimate of the present value are the discount rate, revenue growth (estimated on basis of expected units to be
delivered and expected unit price) and EBIT-margin. Other assumptions include expected required investments, market share and growth
expectations in the terminal period.
