  • Reported margin for the sites under construction (WIP) stands at c. 22%, accretive to target margins.
  • Ancillary businesses kept delivering cash to finance the ramp-up of developments: very strong legacy sales of EUR 57 million, 1% above book value, put the accumulated in the year 41% ahead of expectations. Servicing kept its steady pace with revenues of EUR 6.5m, and 4% ahead of expectations.

 

Juan Velayos, CEO of Neinor Homes, stressed that “the Company had a robust performance in the first quarter, that puts it on track to achieve the yearly target. Very strong pre-sales in a traditionally slow quarter, solid stream of acquisitions above target margins, accelerated development activity with a clear focus on margin protection, one development fully delivered, and the ancillary businesses providing steady cash flows to finance the growth”.
