GLOSSARY
Backlog or (backlog): it covers, for sales in the future state of completion (VEFA), the undelivered reserved housing units for which the notarial bill of sale has not yet been signed and the undelivered reserved housing units for which the notarial bill of sale has been signed up to the portion not yet taken into revenue (on a 30% advanced program, 30% of the revenue of a housing unit for which the notarized bill of sale has been signed is recorded in revenue, 70% are included in the backlog). The backlog is a summary at a given time that makes it possible to estimate the revenue remaining to be recognised in the coming months and thus reinforce the Group's forecasts - it being specified that there is an uncertain proportion of transformation of the backlog into revenue, particularly for reservations not yet recorded.
BEFA: the building under completion consists of renting a building before it is built or restructured.
Working capital requirement (WCR ): This arises from cash flow mismatches: Disbursements and receipts corresponding to operating expenses and revenues required for the design, production and marketing of real estate programs. 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.
Free cash flow: free cash flow is equal to cash flow less net operating investments For the year.
Cash flow from operations: cash flow from operations after finance costs and taxes is equal to consolidated net income adjusted for the share in net income of associates, joint ventures and income from discontinued operations and calculated income and expenses.
Available for sale financial assets: corresponds to cash and cash equivalents plus undrawn credit facilities
CDP: (formerly Carbon Disclosure Project): Measuring the environmental impact of companies.
Senior Credit (lines of credit): banks use senior debt to finance leveraged buy Out (LBO) transactions. The financing of LBOs by banks is a risky operation in the bank credit market. It is characterized by loans of the “amortizable” type and/or, in the most frequent case, of the “bullet” type, but also by lines of credit intended for the financing of working capital needs and the development policy of the company concerned by this mode of acquisition. Senior debt is debt that benefits from specific guarantees and whose repayment has priority over other, so-called subordinated debt. It is therefore a preferred debt.
Take-up period: The take-up period for inventories is the number of months required for available housing units to be sold if sales continued at the same pace as in previous months, i.e. the outstanding number of units (available offer) per quarter divided by reservations per quarter elapsed themselves divided by three.
Dividend: The dividend is the portion of the Company's net income distributed to shareholders. Its amount, proposed by the Board of Directors, is submitted to the shareholders for approval at the General Meeting. It is payable within a maximum of 9 months after the end of the financial year.
EBIT: corresponds to current operating income cad to gross margin less current operating expenses. |
