Texaf FY24: RE Business Shines; New Growth Accretive Projects Being Studied

During FY24, the RE business achieved a record top line of €27.3m, up 18% YoY and up 3% YoY on a like-for-like basis. The top line growth was mainly driven by the letting of 94 apartments (Promenade des Artistes) and the letting of office space (Silikin Village). Occupancy rate of residential business stands at 99%. During Oct'24, Texaf sold 49% of the building ‘Petit Pont” for €5.5m, generating a capital gain of €2.7m which is not reflected in the financials since the building continues to remain under the scope of consolidation. Due to softer demand and lower prices for sandstone in 2024, Carrigres' revenue came in €5.1m, down 19% YoY. The Digital business' revenues rose 63% to 0.5m, mainly driven by the commercialisation of Silikin Village. We continue to believe that Texaf currently holds an unmatched dominant position within Kinshasa's high-end RE market rental. The new projects being evaluated will only solidify this dominant position and help capture additional market share. We maintain our BUY rating and €45.0 TP.
