The consolidated accounts have been audited and the auditors' report is in the process of being issued.

Olivier Mitterrand, Chairman of the Management Board, said:

"In 2012 our sales slowed in France and our financial results were impacted by the major difficulties encountered by our Zapf subsidiary's construction division. In a market shaped by slowing sales, we have entered 2013 with caution, while actively striving to turn around Zapf's construction division. Visibility in France is satisfactory, thanks to a broader product portfolio aligned with demand, robust backlog and strengthened land potential. This confidence in our positioning and solid balance sheet has allowed us to recommend a 20% increase in the dividend for the year. As always, we will remain highly vigilant as to the quality of our products and their alignment with demand."

REVENUE

Revenue for the year ended December 31, 2012 totaled ?571.8 million, up 9% compared with 2011.

TOTAL		571.8		524.1		+ 9%

In France, housing revenue rose by 13% to ?300.8 million, from ?266.1 million in 2011. The rise was driven by i) the increase in homes built following the robust sales in 2010 and 2011, resulting from the earlier improvement in LNC's land potential: and ii) the consolidation of Cabrita, the Toulouse-based property developer, as from August 1, 2011.

In Spain, revenue amounted to ?42.1 million, compared with ?54.7 million the year before. It was generated by the delivery of 238 homes in 2012, compared with 243 units in 2011, which also saw the sale of a lot that had been intentionally kept off the market. Of the total deliveries in 2012, 188 were affordably priced units and 50 were homes sold on the open market, most of them previously completed units.

In Germany, Concept Bau's revenue amounted to ?68.4 million, an increase of 9% over 2011. A total of 149 homes were delivered during the year, exactly the same number as in 2011 but at a higher average unit price.

Zapf's revenue rose by 10% to ?137 million, from ?125.1 million in the previous year. The prefabricated garage division, in which Zapf is the German leader with an approximately 20% market share, accounted for 60% of the subsidiary's business. Overall, 16,469 garages were delivered during the year, versus 15,251 in 2011, an 8% increase. Business in the construction division fell sharply in 2012, with 233 homes delivered, compared with 313 in 2011.

Revenue from commercial real estate totaled ?22.8 million, reflecting the sale of the office building in Boulogne to an investor in fourth-quarter 2011 before construction began in early 2012.

BUSINESS PERFORMANCE

Total orders in 2012 amounted to ?568 million (including VAT) a 31% decline compared with 2011. Excluding the impact of the disposal of the Indonesia subsidiary very early in the year, the decline was only 27%.

Housing orders totaled ?568 million, a decline of 25%. Orders concerned 2,465 apartments and houses, compared with 3,609 units in 2011 (3,161 excluding Indonesia). Orders in France in fourth-quarter 2012 were reduced by half compared with the prior-year period, when they had been exceptionally high because of the announced reduction in the Scellier tax incentive.

In France, orders amounted to ?438 million for 1,872 homes, versus ?505 million and 2,247 homes in 2011. This represented a decline of 13% in value and 17% in volume, in a nationwide market down by around 30%.

During the year, the product portfolio was further expanded, led by the many new programs launched in the past two years. Overall, 66 programs were on the market at December 31, 2012, versus 57 a year earlier. Demand continued throughout the year, although sales office traffic declined and the pace of sales slowed in the second half.

Sales to individual homebuyers amounted to ?352 million, or 80% of the total in value, with block sales accounting for the remainder, most of which involved sales to public housing developers.

Because of the reduction in the Scellier tax incentive and hesitation ahead of forthcoming tax changes, the percentage of sales to buy-to-let investors was sharply lower, accounting for 35% of sales to private buyers in 2012, compared with 57% in 2011 and 53% in 2010.

The decline was offset by shifting the product portfolio, in particular towards buy-to-live purchasers, who accounted for 65% of sales to private buyers in 2012, compared with 43% in the previous year, and for whom a special lower price offering was developed.

In Spain, orders rose by 18% to ?52 million (for 295 housing units), versus ?44 million (239 units) in 2011. They mainly concerned new programs for affordably priced apartments, a product that continues to meet with considerable success in the marketplace.

At year-end, Premier España had only 19 completed housing units left unsold, compared with 46 at December 31, 2011 and 115 at December 31, 2010.

In Germany, orders booked by Concept Bau fell back sharply, due in particular to a temporary reduction in the product portfolio, with only eight programs on the market, compared with 11 the year before. As a result, 133 housing units were ordered in 2012, compared with 274 in 2011. The year-on-year comparison was even less favorable owing to the block sale of 79 units in Munich in early 2011.

Zapf's construction division experienced very significant operating difficulties during the year, which led to a major resizing of the business; practically no orders were booked in the second half of the year. As a result, housing orders declined to ?26 million and 165 housing units, from ?64 million and 401 units in the prior year.

The commercial real estate business did not book any orders in 2012.

BACKLOG

At December 31, 2012, backlog stood at ?738 million (excluding VAT), down 6% from year-end 2011.

Housing backlog totaled ?710 million or 16 months of business based on housing revenue over the past 12 months, versus 17 months of business at year-end 2011.

In France, housing backlog stood at ?533 million at December 31, 2012, a limited 6% year-on-year increase that reflected the near-balance between sales of new programs and deliveries of existing programs.

In Spain, backlog amounted to ?62 million at December 31, 2012, up 13% from one year earlier. It was comprised mainly of orders for affordably priced housing units.

In Germany, Concept Bau ended the year with backlog of ?77 million, down 18% from year-end 2011. 130 homes were delivered in the final quarter, including 53 units in the high-profile Cosimastrasse program in Munich.

Zapf's backlog amounted to ?38 million at December 31, 2012, down 35% from a year earlier. Of the total, 42% was in the construction division, with 134 homes to be completed versus 251 one year earlier, and 58% in the garages division (7,700 units).

Commercial real estate backlog comprises the office building in Boulogne, which was sold to an institutional investor in late 2011 and is currently being built.

LAND POTENTIAL

LNC's land potential at December 31, 2012 totaled a net ?1,800 million, an increase of 25% from a year earlier.

Housing land potential amounted to a net ?1,580 million, corresponding to 7,168 units, versus 6,945 units at year-end 2011. This represented approximately three years of business based on revenue over the past 12 months.

In France where nearly 85% of LNC's housing land potential is located, purchase selection criteria have been tightened to align them more closely with recent market conditions. At December 31, 2012, housing land potential totaled ?1,332 million, a 22% increase from year-end 2011, thanks in particular to the large number of confirmed land purchase agreements in fourth-quarter 2012. It represented 6,536 units compared with 5,497 a year earlier.

In Spain, with 156 new units confirmed since the beginning of the year versus 295 sold, land potential was lower, totaling 233 units at December 31, 2012, compared with 358 at year-end 2011. At end-December 2012, LNC still had four lots in Spain that were intentionally being kept off the market, as well as two suspended program tranches.

In Germany, Concept Bau's land potential in Munich doubled over the year to around ?209 million at December 31, 2012, representing 409 housing units compared with 260 units at December 31, 2011.

In commercial real estate, the land potential, totaling ?220 million, comprised three programs near Paris - two in Montrouge and one in Chatenay Malabry - which are in the financial structuring and pre-sales phase.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

• Income statement

Gross profit ended the year at ?127.5 million, more or less unchanged from 2011, while gross margin came to 22.3% of revenue, down from 24.6% in 2011 due to the difficulties encountered by Zapf Bau's operations.

Gross profit may be analyzed by country as follows:

GROSS PROFIT BY COUNTRY
In ? millions excl. VAT		2012		2011
France - Housing		77.4		63.1
France - Commercial real estate		6.3		3.0
Spain		7.0		7.9
Germany - Concept Bau		16.0		13.6
Germany - Zapf		20.6		39.2
Other countries		0.2		1.9
Total		127.5		128.7

In France, gross profit from the Housing business rose by ?14.3 million over the year, led by the increase in revenue and the improved margins on programs underway. As a result, gross margin rose to 25.7% of revenue from 23.7% in 2011.

Gross profit in the Commercial real estate business increased by ?3.3 million, thanks to the ramp-up in revenue as construction advances on the office building in Boulogne.

In Spain, gross profit stood at ?7 million, or 16.6% of revenue, versus 14.4% in 2011. Although 80% of 2012 revenue came from the delivery of affordably priced housing units with normal margins, gross margin for the year remained impacted by the open-market sale of 50 housing units (most of them low-margin previously completed units) and by an additional ?1.7-million in writedowns on lots that are intentionally being kept off the market.

In Germany, Concept Bau's gross profit rose to ?16 million or 23.4% of revenue from ?13.6 million and 21.7% in 2011, lifted by the large percentage of premium programs delivered in 2012, which offer higher unit prices and margins.

At Zapf, however, gross profit fell to ?20.6 million from ?39.2 million in 2011, causing gross margin to contract to 15% from 31.3%. This steep decline reflected the major operating difficulties encountered in the construction division (Bau), with margins in the Garages segment holding steady from one year to the next.

The sharp contraction resulted from the serious errors in estimating production costs made in 2011 and early 2012, which caused Zapf Bau to sign a series of construction contracts with very low and sometimes negative margins. These initial budgeting mistakes were exacerbated by the general rise in construction costs in Bavaria, as well as by the contractual penalties that had to be paid following poor performance on certain projects. After discovering these dysfunctions, Zapf completely reorganized the construction division and commissioned an outside firm to perform a comprehensive audit of all of its projects. This technical audit, which lasted more than six months, led to major adjustments in the company's financial statements.

Recurring operating profit declined by ?7.6 million to ?22.3 million from ?29.9 million in 2011, dragged down by the poor performance at Zapf. As a result recurring operating margin stood at 3.9% of revenue, versus 5.7% a year earlier.

In France, which accounts for nearly 60% of consolidated business, recurring operating margin widened to 9% of revenue from 5.7% in 2011. The property development subsidiaries in Spain and Germany also delivered solid profitability, with operating margins of 9.2% and 12.9% respectively.

On the other hand, due to the difficulties in its construction division, Zapf reported a recurring operating loss of ?18.7 million, down ?24.4 million on 2011, which had a severely negative impact on consolidated performance.

Net finance costs and other financial income and expense represented a net expense of ?4.7 million, an improvement of ?1.7 million over 2011, due to the decline in interest rates and the reduction in average gross debt to ?128 million, from ?146 million the year before.

Income tax totaled ?5 million, or 26.5% of income before tax, versus ?7.7 million and an effective tax rate of 32.5% in 2011.

Non-controlling interests represented a gain of ?6.6 million, mainly comprising the share of Zapf losses attributable to the company's minority shareholders.

Net profit, Group share rose by 31% to ?19.9 million from ?15.1 million in 2011, and represented earnings per share of ?1.35.

• Balance sheet structure

At December 31, 2012, working capital requirement stood at ?223.9 million, an increase of ?62.9 million over year-end 2011, owing mainly to the increase in inventory in France.

Due to the increase in working capital requirement, net debt ended the year at ?21.6 million, or 10% of consolidated equity, compared with net cash of ?29.3 million at December 31, 2011.

At year-end, consolidated equity totaled ?213 million or ?14 per share, versus ?208.3 million at December 31, 2011. Equity of the French units amounted to 84% of the consolidated total at December 31, 2012.

ANNUAL SHAREHOLDERS MEETING AND DIVIDEND

At the Annual Meeting on Friday, May 24, 2013, the Management Board will ask shareholders to approve a dividend of ?0.60 per share, with a reinvestment option.¹

OUTLOOK

In 2012, Les Nouveaux Constructeurs maintained its commitment to developing new projects in France, while continuing to carefully manage their acquisition criteria. As a result, the Group has entered 2013 with clear visibility, thanks to its substantial backlog and high-quality land potential.

In Germany, restoring Zapf's construction division to health and profitability will remain one of the core priorities for the year. In addition, LNC intends to pursue the refocusing of operations on France, whose land potential now accounts for more than 85% of the total, while continuing to deploy a highly selective land development policy and aligning the product portfolio with demand.
