The 2011 sales of MAISONS FRANCE CONFORT group reached €583.5 M, an increase of €140.4 M or +31.7 %.
This growth includes both acquisitions in the 2010 accounting period (Maisons et Résidences Corbioli and Maisons Les Naturelles) and both acquisitions made at the start of 2011 (LMP from the 1st January and Les Maisons de Stéphanie since the 1stApril).
For a constant scope the sales increase is €114.2 M or +25.8%.
This change is particularly marked for the first 2 quarters, which benefited from a favourable basis of comparison (delayed site starts related to "property pass" cases and bad weather in the 1st quarter of 2010). The fourth quarter remained sustained and showed a 10.8% increase and 7.0% for a constant scope.
During 2011, MAISONS FRANCE CONFORT group opened 5,855 sites and delivered 5,468 individual houses so confirming its place as the main player in property acquisition in France.
This record turnover level recorded over the financial year, combined with the lever effect of controlling fixed costs, allowed increased profitability with reinforced financial resources.
The order book at the end of December 2012 was 6,846 sales and represents a turnover of €692.4 M ex. tax, a fall of 7% in number and 3.3% in value compared to 2010. For a constant scope, order intake changed by ‐10.5% in number and ‐7.0% in value.
Despite a economic conditions remaining very degraded, sales activity continues to be sustained. After a distinct fall observed in September and October order intake for the months of November and December resisted well (‐7.5% in value for a constant perimeter in November and December 2011).
The currently acquired order book provides MAISONS FRANCE CONFORT with a good level of activity and profitability for the 1st half of 2012 due to the 17 month delay between signature of the contract by the customer and delivery of the house.
With solid fundamentals, good sales dynamics and strong ability to adapt its cost structure to a less favourable environment (only 11% fixed costs), MAISONS FRANCE CONFORT approaches the 2012 accounting period with prudence but expects to profit from its multiple assets:
This solidity and a business model largely proven in the past will permit MAISONS FRANCE CONFORT to continue to win market share and prepare for medium term market developments.
