      • Net financial debt considerably lower than at the end of 2023

    VÉRONIQUE BÉDAGUE, CHAIRWOMAN AND CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER, COMMENTED:

    “At the end of a year marked by an ongoing deterioration in the real estate market, with an historic slowdown in both residential and commercial private investment, Nexity has once again demonstrated its ability to meet its financial targets thanks to its commercial agility, the strength of its long-term relationships with public investors and the exemplary commitment shown by its staff, whom I’d like to thank in particular.
    The sector in which we operate is going through a crisis that is unprecedented in terms of its intensity, duration and scope, affecting both supply and demand. Nexity will adapt to this new reality more quickly in 2024, by making adjustments that will enable it to sell supply designed during the previous cycle, scaling its organisation to match new market conditions with respect to volume, and switching to an operating model focused on local areas in order to meet the demand for our services as an urban operator even more effectively.
    This means that we will recognise the costs of these transformations, including the implementation of a redundancy plan, in 2024, and will continue to refocus the strategic roadmap and deleverage the business. To do so, we will minimise risk as we ramp up urban regeneration activities with operational partners, and we will- continue seeking out strategic and financial partnerships in services, particularly in the management and distribution businesses.
    Having reinforced our financial structure, Nexity is in a position to convert all the growth opportunities offered by the emerging new real estate cycle, as evidenced by initial positive indicators, and to extend our leadership, as we have succeeded in doing after every previous market crisis.”

    PERFORMANCE BY DIVISION

    RESIDENTIAL REAL ESTATE DEVELOPMENT

    Business activity
    In a highly challenging market, Nexity’s business activity showed resilience: 14,602 reservations were booked, down 19% in a market that declined by 26%. The total value of these reservations was €2,964 million (down 24%). The latest FPI statement, dated 15 February, reported 94,828 reservations in the market, a record low for the past 10 years.

    As expected, and in line with market data, retail sales declined sharply (down 41% compared with 2022), mainly due to lower solvency among individual clients arising from the substantial, lasting rise in interest rates and the drop in implied yields for individual investors. Sales to individual investors and homebuyers fell to an all-time low, accounting for 21% and 12% of total sales, respectively.

    Bulk sales remained strong, holding steady year on year: Nexity continued to pursue its dynamic sales strategy, in place since 2022, earmarking retail sale reservations for bulk sales, through its long-term partnerships with private and public landlords.
    Bulk sales accounted for 67% of total reservations at year-end 2023, up 13 percentage points from 2022, driven in particular by bulk sales of intermediate housing, which more than doubled year on year, peaking at 16%.

    The difference between the change in reservations by volume and by value is mainly due to the change in the product mix.

    Supply for sale at year-end 2023 was down 23% relative to year-end 2022, at 7,778 units, with take-up periods stable at around 7 months. These trends reflected the Group’s increasingly selective approach to launching programmes (the average rate of pre-selling was nearly 75%2 on programmes launched in 2023) and demonstrated its ability to adapt its supply despite a slower pace of sales. Developments under construction accounted for around 46% of the total supply for sale (vs. 60% for the market as a whole) and the stock of unsold completed units remained marginal, at around one hundred.

    Financial performance

    (in millions of euros)2022(1)2023Change
    Revenue3,3852,942-13%
    Operating profit 280140-50%
    Margin (as % of revenue)8.3%4.8%-350 bps

    (1) Reclassification of Villes & Projets (historically classified in the Other Activities division) in Residential Real Estate Development

    Revenue declined by 13% in 2023 to €2,942 million, reflecting the slower pace of signings of notarial deeds of sale since the beginning of the year and fewer new programmes launched into the construction phase.

    Operating profit was €140 million (down 50%), representing a margin of 4.8%, down 350 basis points. This change was mainly due to the decrease in revenue, the change in the customer mix with a higher proportion of bulk sales, higher construction costs affecting the budgets of certain programmes under construction, and the slowdown in business, which has affected the balance of overhead costs.

    Outlook:

    The backlog stands at €5.0 billion, representing two years’ revenue.

    The Carrefour partnership announced in 2023, which is fully aligned with the Group’s increased emphasis on urban regeneration, reached a key milestone at the end of November with the formation of the “Villes et Commerces” land banking joint venture. As a reminder, this partnership covers the upgrade of 76 Carrefour sites across France through urban mixed-use projects, including 12,000 homes, and will generate revenue at termination of over €2 billion over the next ten years (developments will be included in the backlog with effect from H2 2024).

    In early October, the French government made an initial revision to the country’s zoning map, reclassifying more than 150 municipalities as supply-constrained areas (A/Abis/B1), meaning they are now eligible for the “Pinel” scheme, intermediate rental housing (LLI) and the 2024 PTZ interest-free loan scheme, and in some cases raising rent ceilings, which in turn improves rental yields. This zoning extension will enable Nexity to recalibrate developments currently being set up in the municipalities concerned, and to sell its available supply more quickly. For reference, 81% of Nexity’s current supply for sale is located in supply-constrained areas.

    COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE DEVELOPMENT

    Business activity
    With the market at a cyclical low, marked by higher interest rates and changes in usage for commercial real estate (according to CBRE, investment in France was down 56% in 2023), as forecast, Nexity recorded a low volume of new orders in 2023 (€39 million).

    In 2023, the Group delivered 12 developments totalling over 100,000 square metres, including the following iconic developments:

    • Deloitte University: 23,385-square-metre low-carbon business park standing on 14.7 hectares of land in a natural setting,
    • Aqueduc business park: Nearly 40,000 square metres of office space developed in Gentilly,
    • Facette development: 5,200 square metres of office space at the heart of the Belvédère development in Bordeaux, Nexity’s new regional head office.

    These developments bring total deliveries over the past five years to nearly 700,000 square metres, including almost 200,000 square metres of logistics facilities, warehouses and business parks and over 50,000 square metres of higher education facilities, reflecting continuing diversity in the new business written by the Group.

    Financial performance

    (in millions of euros)20222023Change
    Revenue380459+21%
    Operating profit 4541-9%
    Margin (as % of revenue)11.9%8.9%-300 bps

    At year-end 2023, revenue totalled €459 million and operating profit was €41 million, driven, as in 2022, by the contribution of the green business park in La Garenne-Colombes, which is 75% completed.

    Outlook 

    15 developments in progress at year-end 2023, totalling more than 200,000 square metres and ~€350 million, including the following:

    • Green business park in La Garenne-Colombes: 95,000-square-metre project scheduled for delivery in Q2 and Q4 2024, contributing €250 million to secure 2024 revenue.
    • Carré Invalides (Paris): Renovation of the 15,400-square-metre former headquarters of the Greater Paris regional council
    • Confluence business park (Lyon): Mixed development incorporating a 15,000-square-metre higher education campus.
    • Reiwa: New construction of Nexity’s future head office, totalling around 25,000 square metres, in Saint-Ouen (Seine-Saint-Denis).

    While the market for off-plan sales remained buoyant outside the Paris region, the Group continued to capitalise on its integrated expertise and positioning to step up its role supporting institutional clients with urban regeneration projects under delegated project ownership and CPI development contracts.

    The backlog stood at €349 million at year-end 2023.

    Services

    Services revenue was €872 million at year-end 2023, down very slightly and once again driven by Managed Real Estate (Serviced Properties):

    (in millions of euros)20222023Change
    Revenue938872-7%
    o/w: Property Management3382385+1%
    o/w: Serviced Properties217270+25%
    o/w: Distribution340217-36%
    Operating profit 9273-21%
    Margin (as % of revenue)9.8%8.3%-150 bps

    Revenue from Property Management (Property Management for Individuals and Property Management for Companies) grew slightly, up 1% to €385 million, confirming the resilience of the condominium and rental management businesses, with a portfolio of nearly 825,000 units under management at year-end 2023 and significant contracts renewed or signed, an example being Nexity Property Management’s successful bid to manage over 4,000 sites on behalf of the Orange group. Meanwhile, rental intermediation-related business lines (sales and lettings) were affected in 2023 by the rise in interest rates and very tight supply in the rental market.

    The Serviced Properties business (serviced residences for students, coworking spaces) posted €270 million in revenue (up 25%), driven in particular by the strong growth momentum of the portfolio of coworking businesses (16 new sites and an increase of nearly 24,000 square metres under management), as well as occupancy rates, which remained high at end-December for both coworking spaces (96%4) and student residences (97%).

    Lastly, as expected, revenue from Distribution activities (down 36%) reflected the downturn in the new home market. It should however be noted that reservation volumes decreased less than did the individual investor market, and that the market share for distribution activities grew by two points (totalling 10.3%).

    Operating profit for the Services business totalled €73 million at year-end 2023, down 21%, mainly due to lower profitability in the Distribution business, reflecting the downturns in the new home and brokerage markets. Excluding Distribution, profit grew by 8%.

    Outlook:

    After announcing at end-October that it had initiated a process to seek out strategic and financial partnerships in its management and distribution businesses, Nexity announced on 21 December that it had entered into exclusive negotiations with a view to selling 100% of its Real Estate Services to Individuals activities to Bridgepoint, a European leader in alternative asset management, based on an enterprise value of €440 million. This transaction, expected to be finalised in the first half of the year, involves the launch of a long-term5 strategic partnership aimed at amplifying existing synergies with Nexity’s businesses and securing their long-term future. The agencies will continue to assist with the pre-deliveries of our new buildings and provide condominium management services, we will offer dedicated rental management services to our individual investors, we will be the preferred developer for land banking and real estate projects (such as extensions to existing buildings through additional storeys), and we will have access to the client base to promote our range of services and solutions.

    CONSOLIDATED RESULTS – OPERATIONAL REPORTING

    Due to the process underway for the sale of Real Estate Services to Individuals activities, which is expected to be finalised in the first half of the year, the Group is applying IFRS 5 (on assets held for sale), which requires the assets and liabilities of these activities to be presented separately from other continuing operations in the balance sheet. The income statement has not been restated.

    (1) Reclassification of Villes & Projets (historically classified in the Other Activities division) in Residential Real Estate Development

    Revenue in 2023 totalled €4,273 million, down 9% relative to 2022 (down 10% on a like-for-like basis6).

    • Revenue for the Development business was down 10%, mainly driven by the revenue generated through major projects in Commercial Real Estate (the green business park in La Garenne-Colombes and Nexity’s headquarters in Saint-Ouen). Revenue from Residential Real Estate Development was down 13%, due to the slowdown in business in a highly unfavourable environment.
    • Revenue from Services was down 7%, with the surge in revenue for the Serviced Properties business (up 25% compared with 2022) not enough to offset the decline in revenue from Distribution, which was affected by the downturn in the new home market.

    In IFRS terms, revenue in 2023 totalled €3,964 million, down 9% relative to 2022. This figure excludes revenue from joint ventures, in accordance with IFRS 11, which requires these ventures – proportionately consolidated in the Group’s operational reporting – to be accounted for using the equity method. It should be noted that revenue generated by the development businesses from VEFA off-plan sales and CPI development contracts is recognised using the percentage-of-completion method, i.e. on the basis of notarised sales and pro-rated to reflect the progress of all inventoriable costs.

    Operating profit was €246 million, in line with guidance.

    OTHER INCOME STATEMENT ITEMS

    The net financial expense totalled €108 million. In particular, it comprised an increase of nearly €25 million in financing costs due to the rise in interest rates (with 51% of total debt made up of floating-rate debt at year-end 2023) and an €8 million increase in finance costs on lease liabilities driven by growth in the portfolio of managed real estate.

    The tax expense (including the CVAE7) amounted to €51 million. The current effective tax rate (excluding the CVAE) was 35% (28% at year-end 2022). This rate, which was 9 points higher than our normative rate, mainly resulted from international losses that were not recoverable against French taxes, as well as the tax on the long-term disposal gain following the transfer of Studéa shares from Property Management for Individuals to Nexity SA.

    The decrease in “Share of profit/(loss) from equity-accounted investments” primarily arose from the 18% stake in Ægide Domitys.

    The Group share of net profit came to €19 million at 31 December 2023.

    FINANCIAL STRUCTURE

    DEBT AND LIQUIDITY

    The Group’s net debt before lease liabilities amounted to €776 million at year-end 2023, down €43 million compared to 2022, in line with its debt management policy announced at the beginning of the year.

    This decrease notably reflects the following:

    • Strict management of working capital in an adverse environment due to a more selective approach before projects are launched and the simultaneous start of construction work and signing of deeds when new land is purchased
    • Discontinuation of business outside France and disposal of activities in Poland and Portugal finalised in Q3, with a €100 million impact on net debt

    Debt at 31 December 2023 takes into account the impact of IFRS 5 application on Property Management for Individuals and thus includes a corresponding €67 million adjustment.

    The Group was in compliance with all its financial ratios as at end-December 2023. The leverage ratio8, calculated in accordance with contractual terms set out in financing agreements, stood at 2.5x, below the limit set out in the financial covenant (3.5x).

    Net cash and cash equivalents (1,030)(882)+149
    Net financial debt before lease liabilities 820776-43

    Overall, nearly 50% of the Group’s gross debt is fixed-rate debt, limiting its exposure to rising interest rates. The Group has also put in place interest rate hedges, bringing the proportion of its gross debt that is either well hedged or at fixed rates to over 60%.

    At 31 December 2023, the average maturity of the Group’s debt remained above two years (2 years and 4 months), with an average cost of borrowing of 3.8%.

    The Group’s liquidity is solid, with total cash and cash equivalents of €882 million, and €630 million in confirmed undrawn credit lines.

    As a reminder, in February 2023, the Group renewed its corporate credit line for a period of 5 years with an expanded pool of banks and for an increased amount (€800 million versus €500 million).

    The Group’s working capital requirement, after adjusting working capital in the Property Management for Individuals business in accordance with IFRS 5, stood at €1,346 million at year-end 2023, mainly due to the slowdown in business and thus in sales of inventory. Excluding tax and before the adjustment relating to IFRS 5, the working capital requirement declined €39 million.
    It mainly consists of secure operating items (receivables due from individual clients guaranteed by banks, and receivables due from institutional clients relating to top-tier counterparties) and includes an almost 40% reduction in the land bank, which stood at €171 million at 31 December 2023.

    CLIMATE AND BIODIVERSITY: STRONG PERFORMANCE IN 2023

    In 2023, Nexity continued to roll out its ambitious strategy in support of resilient low-carbon cities, thus helping accelerate the sustainability transition in the real estate sector.

    • 1.5°C carbon trajectory validated by SBTi (the Science Based Targets initiative) in July 2023, with the Group joining the Euronext CAC SBT 1.5 index
    • CDP score9 upgraded to A- “Leadership”, notably in recognition of the Group’s carbon reduction targets across its entire value chain and high-quality environmental reporting
    • Partnership between Nexity and the Net Zero Initiative for Real Estate, which aims to draw up guidelines so that the real estate sector helps achieve the global net-zero target

    Lower carbon emissions – Regulatory requirements met or outperformed nearly two years ahead of time: The Group’s aim is to achieve a 42% reduction in its carbon impact per square metre delivered between 2019 and 2030, 10% above the level required by France’s RE2020 environmental regulations10. On average in 2023, the Group’s developments at building permit stage outperformed RE2020 requirements by 25% (representing the equivalent of 300,000 metric tons of CO2 avoided), thus meeting the new regulatory thresholds nearly two years ahead of time. This performance was notably made possible by the following:

    • Large-scale rollout of heat pumps as well as low-carbon and bio-sourced materials
    • Work on new construction processes and innovations pursued for many years, as seen in the low-carbon performance of the Athletes’ Village (60,000 square metres), at under 700 kg of CO2 per square metre

    Nexity, at the forefront of biodiversity footprint measurement: The Group measured its biodiversity footprint for the first time in 2022 and identified actions across the entire real estate value chain (wood supplies, support from sustainability experts, etc.), which were included in the Act4Nature commitments, renewed in 2023 for 2024-2026.

    A Climate and Biodiversity Report presenting the Group’s business strategy and implementation approach will be made available ahead of the Shareholders’ Meeting to be held in May 2024.

    2023: A BUSY YEAR FOR REFOCUSING THE GROUP’S ROADMAP

    Even before the persistent market downturn throughout 2023, Nexity had begun proactively concentrating on refocusing its roadmap, speeding up its execution, in line with the following announcements:

    Discontinuation of business outside France:

    • Disposal of Polish and Portuguese subsidiaries completed in July and September 2023
    • Sale proceeds of around €100 million went towards deleveraging the Group

    Pivoting more quickly towards urban regeneration:

    • Launch of Nexity Héritage, a subsidiary specialising in urban regeneration
    • First market deal aimed at upgrading 76 Carrefour sites and launching a land banking company:
      The 76 sites to be regenerated total approximately 800,000 sq.m, and their development will lead to the creation of 12,000 homes, for estimated revenue of over €2 billion spread over 10 years.
    • Land banking solution with Mirabaud AM: The land banking solution offered by Mirabaud AM will cover predominantly residential large-scale property renovation, transformation and/or refurbishment projects and will enable Nexity to outsource up to 90% of the carry risk, for a total investment of up to €200 million over 5 years.

    Process initiated to seek out strategic and financial partnerships in management and distribution businesses:

    • At year-end 2023, Nexity entered into exclusive negotiations with a view to selling 100% of its Real Estate Services to Individuals activities to Bridgepoint, based on an enterprise value of €440 million.
      This transaction involves a strategic partnership aimed at amplifying existing synergies with Nexity’s businesses and securing their long-term future.

    2024: A YEAR OF FAR-REACHING TRANSFORMATION

    Although interest rates now appear to have plateaued, the sector is likely to continue to face an unfavourable market environment in 2024.

    After beating the market in 2023, backed by its solid liquidity, Nexity intends to step up actions to adjust its roadmap to adapt to changes in scope and the new market reality, including:

    Finalisation of the first strategic and financial partnership dealing with real estate services in the first half of the year

    • Real Estate Services to Individuals activities to be sold to Bridgepoint in the first half of the year
      The only closing condition for authorisation by the European Commission in respect of merger control was met on 20 February 2024.
      • Proceeds from sale to be used to reduce the Group’s debt level, with the gains made on this transaction helping Nexity adapt more quickly to new market conditions
      • Transaction affecting around 3,100 employees11
    • Nexity also continuing to seek out strategic and financial partnerships for the Property Management for Companies and Distribution businesses

    Far-reaching organisational transformation

    • Accelerated shift towards urban regeneration and managed real estate
      • Decentralised business model, adapted to local and regional planning priorities
      • Multi-product range of solutions and services adapted to emerging patterns of use

    Adjustment of the Group’s workforce:

    Rescaling the organisation to reflect the following:

    • Market environment and slowdown in private investment in residential and commercial real estate (with reservations recorded by Nexity down 25% with respect to the average over the past five years)
    • Changes in the product mix (with bulk sales continuing to make up more than 60% of total sales, compared with an average of 50% over the past five years)
    • Changes in the Group’s scope: disposal of international activities, and of the Property Management for Individuals business; continued search for strategic and financial partnerships

    In view of its adaptation and transformation, the Group has decided to initiate in the coming weeks an information and consultation process with employee representative bodies before implementing a redundancy plan (PSE in French). As such, the Board proposes that the dividend in respect of financial year 2023 be suspended.12

    Through these transformation initiatives, Nexity is aiming for improved profitability from 2025, and as a result, maximum net debt of €500 million at year-end 2025.

    The dividend policy will be conducted so as to be consistent with the context and reviewed annually in light of free cash flow.

    Thanks to an agile, deleveraged, regionally focused multi-product organisation, at the end of this year of transformation Nexity will be in a position to seize the opportunities offered by the impending change in the real estate cycle.

    Forecast for 2024

    • Operating profit to remain positive while reaching a low point, taking into account gains on disposals, the costs of adjusting supply to new market conditions and costs relating to the Group’s reorganisation, paving the way for a rebound in 2025
    • Net financial debt considerably lower than at the end of 2023
