Les Nouveaux Constructeurs: Quarterly Report for the three months ended March 31, 2011

Regulatory News:

LES NOUVEAUX CONSTRUCTEURS (Paris:LNC), a leading residential and office real estate developer, today released its quarterly report for the three months that ended March 31, 2011.

Olivier Mitterrand, Chairman of the Management Board, said:

"We’re generally satisfied with the change in our key business indicators during the first quarter, which is generally the weakest of the year. Les Nouveaux Constructeurs posted an increase of 23% in orders compared with the prior-year period and backlog is considerably higher than at year-end 2010. The substantial increase in our commercial property land potential reflects our commitment to developing in this sector. Moreover, with its solid balance sheet structure, LNC can reaffirm its growth objectives while remaining selective and attentive to market developments."

REVENUE

For the three months ended March 31, 2011, LNC revenue totaled €74.8 million, versus €98.4 million in the prior-year period, a decline of 24%.

REVENUE BY OPERATING SEGMENT

In France, first-quarter 2011 housing revenue totaled €50.3 million, compared with €52.7 million in the first three months of 2010. This slight contraction was due to a decline in housing production during the period – despite 2010’s strong sales performance – and was directly related to second-half 2008’s drop in sales and 2009’s low level of land potential.

In Spain, first-quarter revenue amounted to €2.2 million a decline of €13.8 million compared with the prior-year period. A major delivery program is scheduled for the second half of the year, but only 11 homes were delivered in the first quarter, versus 42 in the first three months of 2010.

In Germany, Concept Bau-Premier reported €6.1 million in revenue, with just 14 homes delivered during the period, compared with €12.6 million in revenue and 38 homes delivered in first-quarter 2010.

Revenue from Zapf totaled €14.3 million, versus €10.2 million in the first three months of 2010, an increase of 40% due to a strong performance by the garage business.

In the commercial property sector, revenue declined to €1.3 million from €6.5 million in first-quarter 2010, following the completion of the CPI de Montevrain program.

BUSINESS PERFORMANCE

Orders rose in value by 23%, compared with the first three months of 2010. They represented 657 housing units in first-quarter 2011, compared with 523 in the year-earlier period, a volume increase of 26%.

TOTAL ORDERS

In France, first-quarter orders were up 8% in volume and 10% in value compared with first-quarter 2010.

Growth was mainly due to an increase in block sales in the first three months of 2011, which totaled 57 housing units sold for €13 million (including VAT), whereas no sales of this type were carried out in first-quarter 2010.

In first-quarter 2011, sales to individual homebuyers totaled 301 housing units, versus 324 in the first three months of 2010, with buy-to-let sales accounting for 46% of sales to private buyers compared with 53% in full-year 2010. As the take-up rate was the same in the first quarters of both 2010 and 2011, the decline in sales to individual homebuyers was due to the contraction in LNC’s product portfolio. However, whereas there was only one new program launch in France during first-quarter 2011, it should be noted that 13 launches are scheduled for the second quarter.

In Spain, the subsidiary had 12 programs on the market at March 31, 2011. Orders totaled €5 million (26 homes) for the period compared with €15 million (70 homes) in first-quarter 2010. They concerned 17 affordable housing units, nine completed homes and one unit sold off-plan at market price.

Premier España had 106 completed homes that were unsold as of March 31, 2011, compared with 115 units three months earlier.

In Germany, Concept Bau-Premier turned in a good performance in the first quarter, led by the success of the new Nymphenburg and Ika Freudenberg programs. For the period, 57 orders were received, compared with 28 in the first three months of 2010.

Zapf’s housing sales came to €22 million in first-quarter 2011, compared with €9 million in the prior-year period. Orders involved a total of 138 homes, versus 76 in the first three months of 2010.

BACKLOG

At March 31, 2011, backlog stood at €582 million (excluding VAT), up 12% from year-end 2010. It represented 14 months of business based on housing revenue over the past 12 months, compared with 12 months of business at year-end 2010.

BACKLOG

In France, backlog at end-March 2011 came to €347 million, up 5% from December 31, 2010.

In Spain, backlog totaled €63 million at the end of the period, of which 68% for affordable housing units.

In Germany, backlog amounted to €156 million at March 31, 2011, up 35% from three months earlier, due to sustained sales and a small number of deliveries during the quarter.

Backlog rose by €20 million for Concept Bau-Premier and €21 million for Zapf compared with year-end 2010. Of Zapf’s total, 60% was for the construction business and 40% for the garage business.

With the completion of the CPI de Montevrain program and in the absence of any new orders, the commercial real estate business has no backlog at present.

LAND POTENTIAL

LNC’s land potential at March 31, 2011 amounted to a net €1,179 million, an increase of 9% from year-end 2010.

Housing land potential totaled €990 million excluding VAT at March 31, 2011 and represented 4,620 housing units. Based on revenue over the past 12 months, this represented 2 years of business.

CONFIRMED LAND POTENTIAL

In France, housing land potential at March 31, 2011 was stable at 3,499 units, versus 3,525 units three months earlier.

In Spain, the land potential stood at 378 housing units at March 31, 2011, versus 395 units at year-end 2010. At the end of the first quarter, LNC still had four lots in Spain that were intentionally being kept off the market.

In Germany, Concept Bau-Premier’s land potential amounted to 447 housing units at March 31, 2011, compared with 483 at end-December 2010.

Zapf no longer has any land potential due to the discontinuation of its property development business.

Commercial land potential totaled €190 million net at March 31, 2011, an increase of €114 million from year-end 2010, thanks to the signature of an agreement to purchase a lot in Montrouge, south of Paris, where 26,000 square meters of offices will be built.

OUTLOOK

After the stepped-up pace of market launches throughout 2010, Les Nouveaux Constructeurs intends to continue expanding its product portfolio this year and pursuing new business initiatives while remaining vigilant as to the application of its land acquisition criteria. Les Nouveaux Constructeurs has begun 2011 with a revitalized land portfolio, as well as stronger, fully operational teams and a balance sheet that will underpin its future development.
