It should be noted that gross margin in 2020 was influenced by high-profitable City Link III project (38.3% margin), which has further effect on operating profit and net profit dynamics y/y. Operating profit in Q1-3 2021 amounted to PLN 41.6 million vs PLN 51.8 million last year; net profit came at PLN 28.7 million vs PLN 37.5 million in Q1-3 2020.

Majority of Company’s revenues in Q1-3 2021 came from Nova Królikarnia projects (31%) Ursus Centralny Ia project (16%), Vitalia III (13%), Viva Jagodno I (12%) and Miasto Moje III project (10%).

The demand situation on the market remains favorable and we are doing our best to have an interesting offer for our clients – whether they are looking for a place to live or want to protect the value of their savings. In Q1-3’21 we commenced 5 projects (including new projects and new stages of ongoing projects) comprising 720 units and further 3 comprising 361 will be launched by the end of the year. Taking into account the demanding situation in terms of operating costs, we are carefully monitoring the market and adjusting the sales pace to the current and expected market conditions. The level of sales as well as financial results in Q1-3’21 are in line with our budget assumptions and corresponding with the size of our offer. We expanded our land bank with 3 new and secured (preliminary agreement) additional 5 plots during the reporting period and in addition to the above we have signed agreements (final and preliminary) for another 4 plots. It is important to have a large land bank and strong financial position these days – RONSON is well prepared to further strengthen its market position in every respect – says Boaz Haim, CEO of RONSON Development.

As of the end of September 2021 RONSON had 492 units sold in ongoing projects with the value of PLN 190 million that are scheduled to be finished by the end of 2021 and 166 units sold in finished projects with the value of PLN 101.2 million, that may contribute to P&L in 2021.

As of the end of Q3 2021 there were 604 units available for sale in the offer (in ongoing and finished projects) that may contribute to P&L during 2021, 2022 and 2023.

Since the beginning of the year, due to the high demand for new apartments, our offer has gradually decreased. At the end of September 2021, we managed to rebuild it to the level of over 600 units. By the end of this year, we intend to introduce to the offer another stage of ongoing projects Ursus Centralny and Viva Jagodno as well as a completely new project in Dolny Mokotów. In the beginning of 2022, we will commence a new project in Wola district and debut in the market with a new product – mini houses with gardens in Falenty near Warsaw. The pandemic has permanently changed the habits of many people when it comes to the way they work. It turned out that in many industries, everyday presence in the office is no longer a necessity. Therefore, we believe that compact houses will be an interesting alternative to living in the center of Warsaw for some clients. As of the end of September 2021 we had a secured land bank for 3,772 apartments and we are preparing further interesting projects for launch in the coming quarters – says Andrzej Gutowski, Vice-President and Sales Director at RONSON Development.

Despite lower number of deliveries in the reporting period yoy we have recorded 9% higher revenues due to higher average sale price of apartments. Comparison of gross margin yoy remains under pressure of high base effect of a recognition of a very good project City Link III last year. We have reached 18% gross margin in Q1-3’21, and what is important, it comes from a mix of several projects. Operating and Net profit are following lower yoy gross margin and came at the level of PLN 41.6 million and PLN 28.7 million respectively. We have a very safe level of net debt to equity ratio – as of the end of September the ratio not incl. cash on MRP was 12.3% and 10.3% calculated in accordance with the bond covenants. This puts us in a very comfortable situation when it comes to the possibility of financing our current and planned business activities. – comments Yaron Shama, RONSON Development’s Vice-President and CFO.
