1.b. Last Insights on NXI

Nexity SA's recent performance was negatively impacted by the company's high debt levels and declining profitability in its French operations. The operational implementation of New Nexity, which aims to seize opportunities for regional development, has yet to yield significant results. Additionally, the company's capital expenditure increased by 23% year-over-year, which may have put pressure on its cash flow. Furthermore, the disclosure of the total number of voting rights and shares as of April 16, 2025, revealed a net total of 55,701,973 voting rights, indicating a slight decrease in the company's ownership structure.

2. Nexity's Turnaround Gains Momentum

Nexity's financial performance in 2025 showed significant improvement, with revenue standing at EUR 2.7 billion, down 14% on a like-for-like basis. The operating income for the year was EUR 25 million, a substantial improvement of EUR 143 million versus 2024. The company's operating cash flow was positive at EUR 107 million, with EUR 54 million of this being from non-opportunistic decisions. As Pierre Pouchelon noted, the company's restructuring efforts in 2024 have started to bear fruit, with the percentage to completion method expected to balance the margin and revenue in 2026.

Publication Date: Mar -07

📋 Highlights
  • Stabilized Backlog & High-Quality Projects:: Nexity's backlog stopped declining since September 30, now replenished with high-margin operations, while operating cash flow improved to EUR 107M (up from EUR -118M in 2024).
  • Positive COP and Deleveraging:: COP turned positive at EUR 25M, driven by restructuring 70% of 2025 revenue units, alongside net debt reduction to EUR 278M (down EUR 52M) and WCR decline to EUR 606M (-30% YoY).
  • Residential Reservations Surge:: 12,000 reservations (up 19% YoY to 2,600 units) with 90% in high-demand areas, outperforming the market for two consecutive quarters.
  • Improved Operating Profitability:: 2025 operating income reached EUR 25M, a EUR 143M improvement from 2024, despite 14% like-for-like revenue decline to EUR 2.7B.
  • Debt Ratio Target and 2026 Outlook:: Nexity aims for a 3.5x debt ratio, with 2026 profitability gains expected from declining reservations' mechanical effect and 60% bulk sales retention.

Operational Highlights

The company's backlog has stopped falling since September 30th and is being replenished with high-quality operations that meet commitment margins. Residential reservations are up 19% on 2024, with 2,600 units reserved. The pipeline currently represents five years of business activity, with 42,000 housing units that have had sales-purchase offers. The commercial offer is well-suited to the market, with 90% of available units positioned in areas with high demand.

Balance Sheet Strength

Nexity's working capital requirement (WCR) came out at EUR 606 million, down by almost 30% from end 2024. Net debt stood at EUR 278 million before accounting for the increased stake in Angelotti, down EUR 52 million. Net financial debt stood at EUR 328 million, well below guidance. The structure of financial debt reflects gross debt of EUR 914 million, down 17% over one year by EUR 182 million.

Valuation Metrics

With a P/E Ratio of -1.28 and a P/B Ratio of 0.28, the market appears to be pricing in a significant level of distress. However, the company's improving profitability and deleveraging efforts may indicate that the worst is behind it. The EV/EBITDA ratio of -1.7 and Net Debt / EBITDA of -1.3 also suggest that the company's valuation is attractive. Analysts estimate next year's revenue growth at 3.2%, which may provide a catalyst for the stock to re-rate.

Outlook

Nexity's guidance for 2026 suggests that revenue will decline due to a mechanical effect from declining reservations. However, profitability and margins are expected to improve, particularly in residential property. The company aims to achieve a 3.5x debt ratio as soon as possible and is on a positive trend. As Pierre Pouchelon stated, the return to a 7% operating margin will depend on the company's ability to roll out new transactions in 2026, particularly after the local elections in March.
