Kaufman & Broad SA today announces its results for the first half of the 2026 financial year (from December 1, 2025, to May 31, 2026). Nordine Hachemi, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Kaufman & Broad, stated:

In the first half of 2026, covering the period from December 1st, 2025, to May 31, 2026, Kaufman & Broad recorded a 0.5 % increase in orders in volume compared to the first half of the 2025 financial year. Over the same period, the new housing market declined by an estimated 23 %(d). Group Net orders were down 6.9% in value due to changes in the product mix.

The commercial offering increased by nearly 9% compared to the end of May 2025. The sales momentum remained strong, with a take-up period of 4.8 months compared to nearly 24 months(e) for the market. Furthermore, the group maintained its land portfolio at a high level of 32,600 units despite the consideration of new economic and tax constraints.

For the fifth consecutive year, Kaufman & Broad has been awarded the “Best Managed Companies” designation by Deloitte for its business model, financial strength, and implementation of a clear CSR roadmap.

The group's financial structure is solid. At the end of May 2026, net cash(a) stood at €242.6 million, after the payment of a dividend of €43.2 million. It is recalled that of this amount, approximately €200 million will be used for the realization of the Austerlitz project, which is scheduled for delivery in 2027. The balance will be used to finance the group's activity and growth in future financial years. The group also relies on a RCF line of €200 million, which has not been used to date, bringing the total financial capacity to €446.6 million.

In an uncertain economic environment, Kaufman & Broad remains vigilant. The group will once again rely on its high sales momentum, the solidity of its backlog and its financial structure, as well as on the quality of its brand to weather this period.

On this basis, Kaufman & Broad maintain the guidance presented at the end of January for the full 2026 financial year. The group’s revenue is expected to be at a comparable level to that of fiscal year 2025. The current operating income margin is expected to be close to 8%. Net cash should remain positive after considering the payment of a dividend for the 2025 financial year of €2.20 per share, approved by the General Meeting of May 5, 2026.

The backlog is a summary at a given point in time that makes it possible to estimate the revenue still to be recognized in the coming months and thus support the Group's forecasts - it being specified that there is an uncertain portion of the transformation of the backlog into revenue, particularly for orders not yet recorded.

The resulting simplified expression for WCR is as follows: these are current assets (inventory + trade receivables + other operating receivables + advances received + prepaid income) less current liabilities (trade payables + tax and social security payables + other operating liabilities + prepaid expenses). The size of the WCR will depend in particular on the length of the operating cycle, the size and duration of storage of work-in-progress, the number of projects launched and the payment terms granted by suppliers or the profile of payment schedules granted to customers.
