They represent 24% of total orders for the first nine months of 2025, compared with 18% at 2024, August 31. Investors accounted for 12% of the total, despite the repeal of the Pinel system at the end of 2024.

The take-up rate of 5.1 months remains significantly lower than the market, estimated at nearly 19.7 months^(e). They reflect the cost control of our projects, which, combined with the current level of interest rates, makes it possible to offer selling prices adapted to the purchasing power of our customers. This is evidenced by the commercial success of recent openings.

Net cash and cash equivalents^(a) amounted to 394.7 million euros. Approximately half will be used for the completion of the Austerlitz project, scheduled for delivery in 2027.
