NEXITY'S INVESTOR DAY
NEW PROSPECTS FOR GROWTH BY 2021
 
 

Paris, Tuesday, 19 June 2018

 

 

 

Nexity will be holding its Investor Day today in Pantin to provide more details on its strategy as a real estate services platform and present its objectives for the period 2018-2021.

During this event, Nexity will be discussing the following points:

Nexity endeavours to be useful to each of its four types of Clients (Individual Clients, Commercial Clients, Local Authority Clients and Internal Clients), as well as to society and the world in which it operates, by:

  • Creating social and economic value for all of its Clients;
  • Promoting their well-being and quality of life while facilitating social connections in cities; and
  • Jointly creating sustainable and resilient cities in which the impacts of climate change are anticipated.

This usefulness is the foundation of sustainable business performance.

Nexity's business targets for 2018-2021

  • Individual Clients: strong market share gain for Residential real estate (up 3 percentage points between 2017 and 2021); growth in the number of units managed in Property Management to Individuals in the period 2019-2021; and strong development of serviced residences for students with Nexity Studéa and for elderly people with the acquisition of a majority stake in the capital of Aegide-Domitys, French market leader in senior independent living facilities;
  • Commercial Clients: order intake doubled over the period 2018-2021 compared with prior years;
  • Local Authority Clients: reinforce its position as the leading private planner in France, by developing new services, around the inclusive smart cities and new urban uses, and complete its offer by the forthcoming creation of a land bank company, a tool for local authorities' development, whose capital will be majority owned by third-party investors.

Nexity's medium-term financial targets
Nexity's Board of Directors, chaired by Alain Dinin, has confirmed the Group's guidance for 2018 and has also announced the following medium-term targets:

  • Compound annual revenue growth of 10% (2017-2021)
  • Compound annual EBITDA growth of 10% (2017-2021)

All of the Group's business lines will contribute to this growth, and especially its Services businesses, which are expected to account for 45% of the Group's total EBITDA by 2021.

This strong anticipated growth will go hand-in-hand with a controlled increase in the Group's debt (target level for net financial debt of about 2.5x EBITDA[1]). This target level will allow Nexity to proceed with carefully selected external growth transactions in its different businesses.

It will be accompanied by an ever-watchful eye on profitability, the maintenance of a prudent risk profile and a strong solvency position. The Group's investments over the period will amount to around €65 million each year, including €30 million dedicated to digital initiatives, the balance being linked to business investments.

The dividend will be set at a minimum of €2.50 per share in respect of each financial year in the period 2018-2021. Furthermore, Nexity's Board of Directors has decided that the company will buy back shares each year, in the proportion necessary to offset the dilution caused by the acquisition of free shares by the Group's employees.

These financial targets will be supplemented by a full range of CSR initiatives, including the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions resulting from the projects developed by Nexity.

ANNEX 1: 2017 RESTATED CONSOLIDATED INCOME STATEMENT

From 1 January 2018, Nexity implements new reporting standards IFRS 15 and IFRS 16. To facilitate measurement of the "real" operational performance of the Group, the following tables present the Group's main indicators for 2017, restated from the impact of these new reporting standards.

As part of Nexity's development strategy adopted in 2017, through which it will become a real estate services platform, the Group will henceforth be using its client-centred organisation in its financial communications (with two main divisions: Individual Clients and Commercial Clients).

As such, the following reclassifications have taken place:

  • the former Services division has been broken down into two businesses (Real Estate Services to Individuals and Real Estate Services to Companies), reclassified under the Individual Clients and Commercial Clients divisions, respectively; and
  • the Group's business in the marketing and selling of residential developments on behalf of third parties, carried out under the iSelection brand; activities involving the division of ownership of existing property, carried out under the PERL brand; real estate brokerage activities, carried out by the Nexity Solutions Crédit subsidiary; and financial advisory activities, carried out by the Nexity Patrimoine subsidiary have all been transferred from Residential Real Estate to Real Estate Services to Individuals within the Individual Clients division.

In addition, the CVAE (French tax on value added by the business) is included in income tax expense as from 1 January 2018, in accordance with IAS 12, because it is considered as a tax based on profit.

Nexity also uses a new indicator to better reflect its operational performance per share: the net profit before non-current items.

Net profit before non-current items per share represents Group's share of net profit restated to exclude any non-current items such as: repayment of the 3% tax on dividends claimed in 2017, and starting 2018, fair value of the ORNANE bonds or items included in the "non-current operating profit" (potential goodwill impairment, remeasurement of equity-accounted investments following assumption of control).
