    VÉRONIQUE BÉDAGUE, CHAIRWOMAN AND CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER, COMMENTED:   "Nexity achieved all its objectives despite the economic downturn in the second half of the year. Our ability to repeat this year a record performance as in 2021 reflects the exceptional agility of our teams and demonstrates the relevance of the strategic choices presented in September as part of the Imagine 2026 plan: the winning choice of bulk sales, the development of our Services activities and in particular of managed real estate, which responds perfectly to the changing needs of our clients, and our size, which has enabled us to contain the impact of construction costs on our cost prices. Given the difficult environment we have faced this year, I am extremely grateful to all our employees for their constant commitment, which has enabled us to continue to perform among the best in our sector.   I am particularly proud that these excellent financial results are accompanied by a concrete environmental performance, with in particular our achievement in the first year of the implementation of the French environmental regulation (RE 2020) of an average carbon weight of our building permits filed more than 10% better than the regulatory thresholds.   The year 2023 is marked by many uncertainties. Retail sales slowed sharply at the end of the year (-36% in the second half), rental activity is suffering and commercial real estate development in the Paris region has still not recovered. Decline in the French new home market is expected to continue in the first half of 2023 before stabilising in the second half of the year, with pressure on sales prices.   Selectivity in the commercial launches, optimisation of the cost of our products, the diversity of our supply-for-sale, the quality of our distribution network and the attention paid to the control of working capital will limit the impact on the Group's profitability.   Our backlog, the strength of our team and our financial structure, enhanced by the renegotiation of our medium-term credit lines, allow us to reiterate the direction of the Imagine 2026 strategic roadmap set out last September.”      
      2022 PERFORMANCE BY DIVISION   RESIDENTIAL REAL ESTATE  The economic downturn has transformed a market that was initially short of supply into a market with more selective demand due to the increase in interest rates. Nexity's size and leadership positions have enabled a good resilience in its commercial activity and good growth in its financial results. Business activity Nexity has booked 18,015 units for new homes (-10% in volume) for a total of €3.9 billion (i.e., only -5% in value compared with 2021) in a French new home market expected to decline over the full year 2022, to around 120,000 units (-26%). The Group's market share is expected to increase by nearly 3 percentage points to around 15% by the end of 2022, in line with its strategic ambition to reach 20% by 2030. The average sales price per sq.m is up for both retail and bulk sales (+2.5% and +13% respectively). As early as July, Nexity had anticipated a contraction in retail sales and decided to temporarily shift its production to bulk sales. The decline in retail sales materialised in the second half of the year, with an acceleration in the fourth quarter reflecting the tightening of market conditions. In 2022, sales to institutional clients increased by 5% and accounted for more than half of the year's business activity (54% of reservations), while retail sales were down 24% for the year. The pace of building permit grants normalised in the second half of the year. As a result, the Group's supply-for-sale is being reconstituted, remains diversified to meet client expectations and remains low risk (less than 100 completed homes in inventory). The time-to-market remains fast and amounts to 6.8 months. The contribution of the Angelotti Group, consolidated since 1 November, represents 356 new home reservations (nearly 1,000 units over the entire year 2022).   Financial results   In € millions 2021 restated* 2022 Change Revenue 3,279 3,385 +3% Current operating profit 271 283 +4% Margin (as a % of revenue) 8.3% 8.4% +10 bps Working Capital Requirements (WCR) 1,029 1,166   % of backlog 18% 19%   *Excluding disposed activities in 2021 (Century 21 and Ægide-Domitys)   Revenue at the end of 2022 was up 3% thanks to the good level of transformation of reservations into notarial deeds with a strong acceleration in Q4 (+15% compared to Q4 2021). The Group has succeeded in maintaining its profitability with a high margin rate of 8.4%, reflecting its ability to maintain operating budgets and limit the impact of inflation on construction costs. In 2022, International activities made around €200 million in revenue and are profitable. Working capital requirements have increased (+140 million euro) to €1.2 billion, a level comparable to that reached on 30 June. The WCR/backlog ratio is in line with historical levels (19% of backlog). Outlook The national new home market should continue to decline in 2023, with the first half of the year following on from Q4 2022 trends and should stabilise in the second half. Nexity will maintain its leadership position thanks to its ability to adapt its new production to the financial capacities of its clients and changing uses. The French residential real estate backlog, which represents almost two years of activity (€5.3 billion), provides good visibility on 2023 revenue, which will be at approximately the same level as in 2022. Inflation in construction costs, although at a lower level than in 2022, will be more difficult to pass on in sales prices given the decline in real estate purchasing power, which will have a temporary impact on profitability until the cost of credit stabilises.  
    COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE  Business activity In a market context that is at the bottom of the cycle and still wait-and-see, Nexity recorded, as expected, a low level of order intake in 2022 (€190 million), mainly in the regions (nearly 70% of new orders for the period). The Group delivered 10 projects in 2022, including its new regional headquarters in Lyon Vaise and a 40,000 sq.m complex on the Bordeaux-Mérignac airport site, comprising a convention center, hotels and office buildings reflecting the diversity of the Group's expertise. Financial results As expected, 2022 revenue are down, given the level of order intake in 2022 and a high basis of comparison in 2021, which included the contribution of the order intake for the Reiwa building in Saint-Ouen for €124 million in revenue and €16 million in operating profit. The operating margin rate is high and remains above the normative level.   In € millions 2021 2022 Change Revenue 492 380 -23% Current operating profit 59 45 -23% Margin (as a % of revenue) 11.9% 11.9% - Working Capital Requirements (WCR) 24 123   The increase in WCR corresponds mainly to new land bank positions in 2022. Outlook The outlook for commercial real estate is still marked by a wait-and-see attitude from investors, and order intake for commercial real estate should remain limited in 2023. The progress of major backlog operations (Eco Campus in La Garenne-Colombes and Reiwa in Saint-Ouen) will ensure revenue growth.   SERVICES    Services revenue was €938 million at the end of December 2022, up 10% compared with 2021, mainly driven by the managed real estate activities (Serviced properties).   In € millions 2021 restated* 2022 Change Revenue 853 938 +10% Of which Property Management 379 382 +1% Of which Serviced properties 157 217 +38% Of which Distribution 316 340 +7% Current operating profit 74 92 +24% Margin (as a % of revenue) 8.7% 9.8% +110 bps Working Capital Requirements (WCR) 75 36   *Excluding disposed activities in 2021 (Century 21 and Ægide-Domitys)   Revenue from property management activities grew slightly (+1%), with contrasting performances by business line. For the first time, the condominium and rental management businesses reported organic growth in the number of units under management, benefiting from the transformation and customer satisfaction improvement initiatives implemented. Rental activities, on the other hand, were down due to the reduction in the rental offer at national level. Managed Real Estate activities (Serviced properties) continue to grow, particularly in coworking, with a doubling of its revenue. The occupancy rate increased over the period (+11 points) and the managed portfolio surface area was multiplied by almost 2 in 2022 to reach more than 100,000 sq.m. Performance of student residences (Studéa) also improved with an occupancy rate at historic highs (97%, +4 points vs. end December 2021). Revenue from distribution activities was up 7% thanks to an excellent rate of transformation of reservations into notarial deeds, given the 2022 deadline for the Pinel scheme, which will be less favorable for sales signed in 2023. Commercial activity declined by 16%, but nevertheless outperformed the national market for sales to individual investors. Current Operating profit was up 24% to €92 million. The operating margin increased sharply to 9.8%, driven by the performance of the Distribution activities. Outlook Serviced properties activities will continue the profitable growth momentum achieved in 2022, while the Distribution activities will suffer from a less buoyant commercial environment.   EXTRA-FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE (ESG)   ENVIRONMENT    Nexity had its new ambition in terms of climate and biodiversity approved at the May 2022 Shareholders’ Meeting through a "Say on Climate" resolution.   In 2023, Nexity is aiming for a 1.5°C certification by SBTi of this new carbon trajectory, which aims to reduce CO2 emissions per square meter delivered by 42% by 2030, which represents a level 10% more ambitious than the French 2020 environmental regulation (RE2020), which is already very stringent in the European context.   In 2022, the first year of application of this regulation, Nexity has achieved an average level of performance for building permits filed that is more than 10% better than the requirements of the RE2020.   Finally, for the fourth year in a row, Nexity is among the leaders of the BBCA awards for the most committed players in low-carbon building.   SOCIAL Nexity is once again certified as a Great Place to Work®.   In addition, for the fourth consecutive year, the Group has been included in the 2023 Bloomberg Gender Equality Index, placing Nexity among the 14 French companies recognised in this index.   GOVERNANCE  Alain Dinin has resigned as Director and Chairman of the Board of Directors effective from 1 January 2023.   The Board of Directors has accordingly appointed Véronique Bédague, Chief Executive Officer since 2021, as Chairwoman and Chief Executive Officer, thus completing a succession process initiated in 2018. The Board has given Alain Dinin the title of Honorary Chairman.   The reunification of functions around Véronique Bédague will give Nexity the necessary strength, agility and simplicity in making decisions in this phase of market adjustment.
      CONSOLIDATED RESULTS – OPERATIONAL REPORTING In view of the process of disposing of the Residential Real Estate development activities in Poland and Portugal, and as the sale is highly probable within the next twelve months, the Group has applied IFRS 5 (Non-current assets held for sale), which requires the assets and liabilities of these activities to be presented on a separate line in the balance sheet. The income statement has not been restated. in € million   2021

Under IFRS, reported revenue was €4,352 million. It excludes revenue from joint ventures in application of IFRS 11, which requires their recognition by equity accounting of proportionally integrated joint ventures in operational reporting. Reported revenue in 2021 (€4,468 million) is not comparable as it included the revenue of the disposed activities in 2021 (Century 21 and Ægide-Domitys) for €211 million. As a reminder, revenue generated by the development businesses from VEFA off-plan sales and CPI development contracts is recognised using the percentage-of-completion method, i.e. on the basis of notarised sales and pro-rated to reflect the progress of all inventoriable costs.  
      OPERATING PROFIT At the end of December 2022, Current operating profit was €367 million and the operating margin rate was 7.8% of revenue. All the Group's businesses have improved their margin rate in 2022. In 2021, the result of Other activities took into account a profit of €20 million on the result of a major development operation carried out by Villes & Projets. Adjusted for this base effect, income from Other Activities is stable in 2022 compared with 2021.       2021   2022 in € million   Operating profit Margin rate   Operating profit Margin rate Development   330 8.7%   328 8.7% Residential Real Estate development   271 8.3%   283 8.4% Commercial Real Estate development   59 11.9%   45 11.9% Services   74 8.7%   92 9.8% Other activities   (33) ns   (54) ns Current operating profit*   371 8.0%   367 7.8% Non-recurring operating profit   157     -   Operating profit reported   528     367 7.8% *Excluding disposed activities in 2021 (Century 21 and Ægide-Domitys) and goodwill impairment   OTHER INCOME STATEMENT ITEMS Financial expense improved by almost €10 million compared with the end of 2021 on a restated basis (-€65 million in 2022 compared with -€75 million). This improvement is due in particular to the reduction in interest expense, given the repayment in 2021 of high-cost debt. Tax expense (including the CVAE, the French tax on added value of companies) amounted to -€90 million. The current effective tax rate (excluding the CVAE) was 28% at the end of December 2022 (compared with 31% in 2021) following the reduction in the standard tax rate for large companies in France. Net profit Group's share was stable at €188 million at 31 December 2022 and earnings per share were €3.40.
      BALANCE SHEET AND CASH FLOW ITEMS   BALANCE SHEET AND FINANCIAL STRUCTURE Consolidated shareholders' equity (attributable to equity holders of the parent company) amounted to €1,974 million at the end of 2022 (compared with €1,929 million at the end of 2021). The Group's net debt before lease liabilities amounted to €820 million at the end of December 2022, up €222 million compared to 2021, but down from €878 million at the end of June 2022. The control of net debt in the second half of the year, despite the slowdown in business activity, reflects the rigorous management of working capital. The leverage ratio stood at 2.1x EBITDA on 31 December 2022, well below the thresholds of the banking covenants (3.5x). INDEBTEDNESS BREAKDOWN in € million   31 December 2021 31 December 2022 2022/2021 Change Bond issues and others   994 976 (18) Bank debt and commercial papers   768 874 +106 Net cash and cash equivalents   (1,163) (1,030) +133 Net financial debt before lease liabilities   598 820 +222 Elimination of IFRS 5 debt reclassification   - 28   Net financial debt before lease liabilities and before IFRS 5   598 848   Gross debt consists mainly of fixed-rate debt (53%), limiting the Group's exposure to rising interest rates. On 31 December 2022, the average maturity of debt remained high at 2.3 years, with an average cost of debt stable at 2.2%, given the weight of fixed-rate debt contracted prior to the 2022 rate increase. In February 2023, the Group renewed its corporate credit for a period of 5 years with an extended pool of banks and for an increased amount (€800 million versus €500 million). The Group's financial position is solid, with total cash and cash equivalents of €1 billion, and to date €800 million in confirmed and undrawn credit lines. The increase in net debt over the year is mainly due to the increase in working capital requirement (WCR) excluding tax (+€213 million compared with its level in December 2021). The working capital requirement of the residential real estate activity, which was rising on 30 June 2022, then stabilised in the second half. This moderate increase considers the increase in set-up and construction start-up times. WORKING CAPITAL REQUIREMENT in € million   31 December 2021 30 June 2022 31 December 2022 Dec. 22/Dec. 21 Change Development   1,053 1,215 1,289 +236 Residential Real Estate development   1,029 1,152 1,166 +137 Commercial Real Estate development   24 64 123 +99 Services   75 52 36 (39) Other Activities   (7) 46 10 +17 Total WCR excluding tax   1,121 1,313 1,335 +213 Corporate income tax   (2) 5 (11) (8) Working capital requirement (WCR)   1,119 1,318 1,324 +205 Land commitments considered as Landbank totalled around €280 million at 31 December 2022 (stable compared to 31 December 2021 but including acquisitions for around €100 million and building authorisations for the same amount. Lease liabilities rose by €154 million in 2022, to reach €779 million, reflecting the growth in the number of managed coworking office spaces. Net debt including lease liabilities amounted to €1,599 million at end-December 2022.   On 31 December 2022, Nexity complies with all its contractual commitments under its bond and corporate loans.   CASH FLOWS   Cash flow from operating activities after lease payments but before interest and tax expenses was €405 million at end December 2022, close to Group’s EBITDA of €415 million. Nexity’s free cash-flow was close to zero at end December 2022 in relation to the WCR increase booked during the first half of the year. The change in the working capital requirement before tax in the balance sheet (€213 million) differs from the change in the cash flow statement (+€248 million) due to changes in the scope of consolidation (external growth and IFRS 5 reclassification). in € million   2021 2022 Cash flow from operating activities before interest and tax expenses   541 538 Repayment of lease liabilities   (183) (133) Cash flow from operating activities after lease payments but before interest and tax expenses   358 405 Change in operating working capital   (405) (248) Interest and tax paid   (118) (92) Net cash from/(used in) operating activities   (165) 65 Net cash from/(used in) operating investments   (53) (69) Free cash-flow   (219) (4) Net cash from/(used in) financial investments   191 (28) IFRS 5 reclassification   - (45) Dividends paid by Nexity SA   (111) (138) Net cash from/(used in) financing activities, excluding dividends   (51) 13 Change in cash and cash equivalents   (189) (202) Net cash flow from/(used in) financing activities totalled -€28 million at end 2022 et mainly include the acquisition of 55% of the Angelotti group for €76 million euros net of the cash acquired. In 2021, they included the proceeds from the sale of 100% of Century 21 and 45% of Ægide. 2023 OUTLOOK   Dividend   Nexity's Board of Directors will propose to the Shareholders' Meeting to be held on 16 May 2023 the distribution of a dividend of €2.50 per share, paid in cash, for the 2022 financial year. This dividend is stable compared with 2021, reflecting the good financial performance of 2022 at the same level as last year. This dividend reflects the confidence of Nexity's Board of Directors in the Group's outlook and in the strength of its financial position. If approved, the payment will be detached from the share on Wednesday 24 May 2023 and will be payable on Friday 26 May 2023.   2023 targets: a transitional year Nexity's business activity will take into account a slowdown in demand pending a stabilisation of interest rates and the borrowing cost. Thanks to the backlog and the recurring nature of the Services activities, Nexity is aiming for 2023 revenue above €4.5 billion, stable compared with 2022 excluding international activities, and operating profit above €300 million, reflecting both an adjustment phase in the new home market and a portfolio refocused on France.     ***
