LES NOUVEAUX CONSTRUCTEURS (Paris:LNC), a leading residential and commercial real estate developer, today released its quarterly report for the three months ended March 31, 2012.

Olivier Mitterrand, Chairman of the Management Board, said:

"Our business indicators held firm during the first quarter, generally the weakest of the year. Our revitalized land potential enabled us to deepen our sales portfolio, and we continue to carefully track the alignment of our products with demand. Backlog ended the period at its highest level in the recent years, giving LNC clear visibility over the rest of the year. In France, the commercial real estate business has returned to growth."

REVENUE

Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2012 totaled ?81 million, an increase of 8% on the prior-year period.

REVENUE BY OPERATING SECTOR

In ? millions excl. VAT		First-quarter 2012		First-quarter 2011		% change
France		55.2		50.3		+10%
Spain		3.3		2.2		+50%

TOTAL HOUSING		78.6		73.5		7%
Commercial real estate		2.4		1.3		+85%
TOTAL		81.0		74.8		+8%

In France, housing revenue totaled ?55.2 million, up 10% compared with first-quarter 2011. Toulouse-based property developer Cabrita, which has been consolidated since August 1, 2011, contributed ?6.3 million to first-quarter revenue.

In Spain, revenue rose to ?3.3 million, from ?2.2 million a year earlier, reflecting the sale and delivery of 11 completed units during the quarter, as well as the last three deliveries of the affordable housing programs completed in late 2011.

In Germany, Concept Bau's first-quarter revenue was stable at ?6 million, following the delivery of six high unit-price housing properties during the period. Zapf reported revenue of ?13.7 million, versus ?14.3 million in first-quarter 2011, led primarily by the delivery of 2,396 prefabricated garages during the quarter. Zapf is today the leader in this market segment in Germany.

Given the disposal of the Indonesian subsidiary during the period, the Other countries segment contributed almost nothing to first-quarter revenue.

Commercial property revenue came to ?2.4 million for the period, reflecting the early-year delivery of the Boulogne building sold to an investor in fourth-quarter 2011.

BUSINESS PERFORMANCE

Orders booked in first-quarter 2012 concerned 640 apartments and homes for a total of ?158 million, up 10% from a year earlier.

TOTAL ORDERS

In ? millions incl. VAT		First-quarter 2012		First-quarter 2011		% change
France		128		82		+56%
Of which individual homebuyers		114		69		+65%
Of which block sales		14		13		+8%
Spain		3		5		-40%
Germany		27		48		-44%

TOTAL HOUSING		158		143		+10%

TOTAL		158		143		+10%

In France, first-quarter housing orders came to ?128 million, representing a total of 502 units, of which 441 sold to private buyers and 61 in block.

Les Nouveaux Constructeurs saw a decline in sales office visitors and a slowdown in sales compared with the record high ?195 million recorded in fourth-quarter 2011. Demand remained firm, however, and orders were up year-on-year, lifted by a significantly broader product portfolio. During the period, for example, the company launched five new programs on the market, compared with just one in first-quarter 2011.

Cabrita, which was not consolidated in first-quarter 2011, contributed ?10 million (56 units) to first-quarter 2012 orders. Note as well that starting in 2012, the company will return to the standard method of recognizing orders that was used until year-end 2009, i.e. without waiting until buyers file their mortgage applications.

In Spain, orders totaled ?3 million, versus ?5 million in first-quarter 2011. They concerned 25 units, of which 14 new affordable housing properties and 11 unsold, completed units. At period end, Premier España only had 35 completed housing units left unsold, compared with 46 at December 31, 2011 and 115 at December 31, 2010.

In Germany, Concept Bau booked 58 housing orders, versus 57 in first-quarter 2011. They concerned programs in the Munich area, which were sold at lower average unit prices than the orders booked in the year-earlier period.

Zapf's construction business took orders for 55 housing units, compared with 138 in first-quarter 2011.

There were no new orders in the commercial real estate business during the period.

BACKLOG

At March 31, 2012, backlog stood at ?834 million, a 6% increase from year-end 2011. Housing backlog totaled ?786 million, representing 18 months of business.

BACKLOG AT MARCH 31

In ? millions excl. VAT		March 31, 2012		December 31, 2011		% change
France		549		504		+9%
Spain		55		55		0%
Germany		182		153		+19%
Of which Concept Bau		105		94		+12%
Of which Zapf (incl. the garage business)		77		59		+31%
Other countries		0		21		-100%
TOTAL HOUSING		786		733		+7%
Commercial real estate		48		51		-6%
TOTAL		834		784		+6%

In France, housing backlog amounted to ?549 million, up 9% from year-end 2011 due to firm sales during the first three months of the year.

In Spain, backlog was stable at ?55 million, in the absence of major deliveries during the period.

In Germany, backlog ended the quarter at ?182 million, compared to ?153 million last December 31. Orders booked during the period lifted Concept Bau's backlog by 12% to ?105 million, while Zapf's backlog rose by 31% to ?77 million (57% in construction and 43% in the garage business).

The Other countries segment no longer has any backlog following disposal of the Indonesian subsidiary in March 2012.

Commercial real estate backlog mainly reflects the office building in Boulogne, which was sold to an institutional investor in the final quarter of 2011.

LAND POTENTIAL

LNC's land potential amounted to ?1,260 million excluding VAT at March 31, 2012, down 13% from year-end 2011. The decrease stemmed from the very low intake of confirmed land potential in the first quarter, following the introduction of stricter selection criteria in a commitment to enhancing alignment with market conditions.

Housing land potential stood at ?1,124 million at March 31, 2012, compared to ?1,301 million at year-end 2011, with France accounting for 87% of the total.

Based on housing revenue over the past 12 months, land potential represents more than two years of business.

CONFIRMED LAND POTENTIAL

In ? millions excl. VAT		March 31, 2012		December 31, 2011		% change
France		981		1,092		-10%
Spain		58		66		-12%
Germany		85		102		-17%
Of which Concept Bau		85		102		-17%
Of which Zapf		0		0		0%
Other countries		0		41		-100%
TOTAL HOUSING		1,124		1,301		-14%
Commercial real estate		136		140		-3%
TOTAL		1,260		1,441		-13%

In France, land potential amounted to ?981 million, down 10% from year-end 2011 due to the stricter land acquisition policy. It represented 4,873 housing units, versus 5,497 at year-end 2011.

Land potential continued to decline in Spain during the first quarter, to 324 housing units at March 31, compared with 358 at year-end 2011. At period-end, LNC also had four lots in Spain that were intentionally being kept off the market, as well two tranches of suspended operations.

In Germany, Concept Bau's land potential amounted to ?85 million at March 31, 2012, representing 202 units compared with 206 at December 31, 2011.

The fact that Other countries no longer have any land potential is due to the March 2012 disposal of the Indonesian subsidiary, which accounted for 3% to the overall decline in land potential over the period.

Commercial real estate land potential comprised the Montrouge and Chatenay Malabry programs, which are both in the market launch phase.

OUTLOOK

In 2012, Les Nouveaux Constructeurs is maintaining its focus on effectively managing new projects, while applying stricter land acquisition criteria and ensuring that its products are aligned with demand. In France, thanks to its more extensive product portfolio, substantial backlog, high-quality land potential and ability to selectively seize opportunities in the commercial real estate segment, the company enjoys clear visibility for the year ahead and is committed to sustaining the current growth momentum.
