Production on track to reach targets

For the first nine months of this year, Group Hexaom posted revenue of €563.1 million, down 25.5% (like-for-like) compared to the same period last year.

Production in the third quarter of 2024 amounted to €144.7 million. It is down 28.9%, in line with the trend in sales activity over the last 18 months.

By business segment, production for the first nine months of 2024 breaks down as follows:

The Home Building business posted revenue of €475.5 million, down 26.5%. This decline in production was anticipated by the group and is consistent with the full-year outlook.

The Renovation business posted revenue of €36.1 million, compared with €40.8 million over the same period in 2023.

Revenue from the “Intermediated” business, consisting of commissions received through the franchise networks of the Illico Travaux and Camif Habitat brands, continued its good growth momentum, increasing by +57.4% year-on-year to €9.6 million.

Production by the “General Contractor” business, derived from the progress in renovation contracts marketed by the group's Home Building brands and the specialist Camif Habitat brand in the Ile-de-France region, amounted to €26.5 million, compared with €34.6 million for the same period in 2023. As in previous months, this change is primarily due to the ongoing transfer of the Camif Habitat “general contractor” business (outside the Ile-de-France region) to the Intermediated franchise network.

The Real Estate Development business posted revenue of €44.4 million over 9 months, down by 5.9% on last year. On a sequential basis (Q3 2024 versus Q2 2024), however, this activity increased by +73%, driven by signed programs and completed bulk sales. The fourth quarter should also be more promising.

Land Development posted revenue of €7.1 million, in line with current market conditions and group expectations.

9-month order intake: property market conditions remain challenging

Order intake as of the end of September 2024 continues to reflect a highly depressed market, although there are indications that the low point may have been reached. As a result, sales levels in the “Home Building” and “Real Estate Development” businesses are stabilising whereas the “Renovation” business, which has been less affected by the challenging market conditions, continues to grow.

Home Building

Order intake at the end of September 2024 amounted to 2,044 houses and represented revenue of €339.6 million, down 22.2% compared with the same period in 2023.

The average selling price has remained stable over the past few months, at €166.2k excluding VAT for the period, compared with €166.0k excluding VAT for 2023 as a whole.

Renovation

The “Intermediated” order intake for the Illico Travaux and Camif Habitat franchise networks at the end of September 2024 amounted to €106.5 million, compared with €74.7 million for the same period in 2023, i.e. an increase of 42.5%. The third quarter was particularly buoyant, with revenue up +56.2% year-on-year.

Revenue from the “General Contractor” business was €22.7 million, down from €30.7 million at 30 September 2023, reflecting the strategic refocusing of Camif Habitat's activities on franchising. The “Home Building” branch network posted a 4.6% increase in revenue over 9 months.

Real Estate Development

At the end of September 2024, the Real Estate Development business had a backlog of €110.5 million and potential inventory for delivery (including projects where a preliminary land deal has been signed) represented revenue of €318.6 million, or 1,455 housing units.

Land Development

The order book (reserved inventory not yet signed) for the Land Development business at the end of September still reflects the market environment and stood at €12.1 million, representing 121 lots.

Outlook for 2024 and 2025

For the 2024 financial year, Hexaom confirms the anticipated decline in its annual production of around 25 to 30% compared with 2023. Operating profitability in 2024 is expected to remain at a satisfactory level, at around 3% of annual revenue.

The group is not anticipating any significant upturn in market conditions in the short term, despite an easing of borrowing conditions by the banking networks and a slight fall in interest rates.

The group is therefore pursuing the actions it has been taking for over three years to adapt its structure to the current environment.

In 2025, after four years of unprecedented crisis in the property market, the group will see a more moderate decline in revenue, on a like-for-like basis, due to its current sales, its diversification efforts and a more favourable base effect. It will also endeavour to maintain an equivalent level of operating profitability to that of 2024.

Ongoing initiatives to strengthen Hexaom's position as a leading global player in the housing sector

The development of the “renovation/extension” offering continues in the Home Building branch network and through the expansion of the Illico Travaux, Camif Habitat and Rénovert franchise networks. Furthermore, the Rénovert network will contribute to revenue as from the last quarter of 2024. This energy renovation network currently has five franchisees.

Hexaom and Trecobat have also jointly submitted a takeover bid for all the assets and activities of A.S.T.'s “construction and marketing of tiny houses, timber-framed houses, carpentry and joinery” division. The Lyon Commercial Court is expected to render its decision on November 26^th.

Lastly, Hexaom has taken steps to acquire a majority stake in the HDV Group. Headquartered near Bordeaux (33), HDV is a home builder that primarily operates in the Nouvelle Aquitaine region and Loiret department. It markets the Alpha Constructions, ya'K construire.com, So'9 Habitat, Couleur Villas, Optiméa and Alliance Construction Aquitaine brands.

HDV posted revenue of €98 million in 2023 and has around 150 employees. This acquisition would be immediately accretive.

The signing of a memorandum of understanding subject to conditions precedent, including an authorisation from the French competition authorities [Autorité de la Concurrence], could take place at the end of the year. 

With its strong foundation and a very healthy financial structure, Hexaom remains confident in its ability to bounce back as soon as market conditions improve.
