COMMENTARY
Corporate overview
Balwin is a specialist, niche, national large-scale, turnkey, sectional-title,
residential property builder and developer (typically between 500 and
1 000 sectional-title residential units per development) targeting high-
density, high-growth metropolitan areas in South Africa.
Balwin estates offer secure, affordable, high-quality, environmentally
friendly and conveniently located one, two and three bedroom sectional-
title residential units which range in size from 45m2 to 120m2 and in price
from R599 999 to R1 699 000 per unit (including modern fitted kitchen
appliances) within the normal operating model. Units are designed to
appeal to a wide range of home buyers, including first-time, move-up,
active adult, young professional, young family, older family, retirees as
well as buy-to-let. All larger estates (comprising ±500 units and above
only, such as Greenstone Ridge, The William, De Velde, etc.) also have
a lifestyle centre with well-established concierge and other all-inclusive
value added services including a spa, restaurant, gym, squash court,
action sports field, games room, movie theatre, heated swimming pools,
playgrounds and free wi-fi within lifestyle centres.
All residential estates are developed and marketed under the Balwin
Properties brand.
Key differentiators in Balwin's build-to-sell model comprise the ability to
deliver a superior offering through economies of scale, in-house turnkey
development including construction and construction management,
focus within a defined middle-income market segment, quality, broad
market appeal, partnerships with relevant stakeholders and competitive
pricing of developed units in-line or below market.
History and international acclaim
Balwin was founded by Stephen Brookes to address the need of
South Africans for secure, quality newly developed, value-for-money,
convenient, sectional-title homes without the homeowner having to
involve themselves in the cumbersome day-to-day management of
building their "dream" home. The Company commenced operations
in 1996, with its first development (a small 50-unit sectional-title
development in the south of Johannesburg), which was sold for
R99 000 per unit.
With the support of three of the largest five banks in South Africa
and consistent innovation and hands-on management guided by
the vision of Mr Brookes, Balwin is now considered as South Africa's
largest homebuilder targeting the middle income market segment, with
operations in all three of South Africa's largest cities. The Company
has developed various iconic residential estates in recognised middle-
to-high income, high-density, high-growth residential nodes such as
Bryanston, Fourways, Greenstone, Oakdene, Kyalami and Sunninghill
with a growing presence in Pretoria East, Somerset West and Milnerton
amongst others.
This unprecedented growth has led to Balwin being consistently
recognised as the national homebuilder of choice in South Africa with
various awards and industry recognition including:
- theInternational Property Awards' Rolls-Royce African Property
Award for the De Velde estate in the Western Cape. The award,
which was granted in the Africa/Middle East region, recognises the
highest levels of achievement by companies operating in all sectors
of the property and real estate industry; and
- theConcrete Masonry Association award for build excellence in
Balwin's Monte Carlo estate.
Balwin operates exclusively within South Africa and has its headquarters in
Bedfordview, Johannesburg and a local office in Stellenbosch, Cape Town.
Product offering
Balwin currently develops and sells in the range of 1 750 to 2 500
sectional-title residential units per year, but has the ability to increase
its development capacity to approximately 3v000 sectional-title
residential units per year based on its existing infrastructure and owned
undeveloped land pipeline.
The construction of new developments is generally undertaken against
pre-sales to interested buyers.
All Balwin estates are built to a
standard specification (unique Balwin)
design, standard finishes, no customer changes), typically not more than
four storey blocks with 10 homes per block (three bedroom units on the
ground and first floors, and one and two bedroom units on the upper
floors) enabling the Company to benefit from significant economies of
scale. Residential estates are built and marketed in phases (between 50
and 100 units), allowing for appropriate risk management at all stages
of the development process.Balwin's residential estates typically include:
- 24-hour security with well-equipped guard houses;
- high-quality, ergonomically designed units designed to maximise
unit space and functionality;
- eco-friendly fittings, appliances and utilities (such as pre-paid
electricity meters and gas and water supply meters);
- close to amenities including shopping centres, entertainment and
leisure facilities, medical centres and schools, which are largely
within walking distance of the estate; and
- lifestyle centres complete with free wi-fi, concierge service, heated
swimming pools, playgrounds, spa, restaurant, gym, squash court,
action sports fields and running tracks (larger estates comprising
±500 units and above only, such as Greenstone Ridge, The William,
De Velde, etc.)
Operational review
Balwin has produced strong results for the financial year ended
29 February 2016 through its continued focus on the development of
sectional title residential units within strategic locations in key target
nodes. Despite, tough trading conditions, increasing interest rates
and a challenging macro-economic environment, demand for Balwin's
residential apartments remains robust driven by increased urbanisation
and the demand for affordable estate living.
Balwin was successful in delivering the following key operational
highlights during the year under review:
- Developments under construction increased by 143% from the
prior year due to management's concentrated effort to deliver on
the secured development pipeline;
- Malakite, a development in Johannesburg East which had been
earmarked for rental, has been released for sales due to significant
demand;
- Sales in the award winning De Velde (Somerset West) development
has been on an upward trajectory during the financial year with a
total of 385 units being registered, which has allowed management
to free up cash for the purchase of The Sandown (Cape Town) land
in the region;
- Grove Lane (Balwin's first development in Pretoria) was released for
sales during the financial year, with the 136 unit development being
largely sold out through pre-sales by the end of the financial year;
and
- New developments under construction during the financial year
have performed exceptionally well with the launch of various
developments such as The Cambridge (Johannesburg North),
Amsterdam (Johannesburg North), Balboa Park (Johannesburg
South), Westlake (Johannesburg East), Grove Lane (Pretoria East),
Paardevlei (Somerset West) and The Sandown (Cape Town).
In keeping with Balwin's long term strategic objectives of expanding
into select identified target nodes, Balwin has expanded its operating
footprint in Pretoria East and the Western Cape. During the year under
review, two land parcels were acquired in the Pretoria East node. The
land parcels were acquired for the development of the "Grove Lane"
(136 units) and ''River Walk'' (6 000 units) estates. These represent
Balwin's first acquisitions in the city of Pretoria, signalling the next
phase in expansion of the Company's geographic footprint. Balwin
further expanded into the Western Cape through the acquisition of land
in the Milnerton node earmarked for the The Sandown (Cape Town)
development. Strategic acquisitions during the financial year:
- The Cambridge (Johannesburg North);
- Amsterdam (Johannesburg North);
- The Clulee (Johannesburg East);
- The Reid (Johannesburg East);
- Westlake (Johannesburg East);
- The Whisken (Johannesburg North); and
- The Sandown (Cape Town).
The Company's secured development pipeline comprised
16 167 units at financial year end, which pipeline is expected to be
developed over the next seven years. In addition to this pipeline,
as announced by Balwin on the Stock Exchange News Service on
6 April 2016, the Company has concluded an agreement to acquire
the development rights to develop approximately 15 000 units in
Johannesburg's Waterfall node subject to conditions precedent,
further expanding Balwin's footprint into one of South Africa's major
development and growth nodes.
Financial review
Sales for the 2016 financial year have been exceptional, with revenue
increasing 54% to R2.1 billion (2015: R1.4 billion). The strong increase
in revenue is a result of the achievement of record sales in a number
of developments for the period under review. A total number of 2 087
units were registered during the financial year, compared to 1 655
during the comparative period. The average selling price achieved per
unit amounted to R998 328. It is noted that the average selling price per
unit varies in terms of the mix of one, two and three bedroom units sold
during a reporting period.
Development-specific registrations for the 2016 financial year were as
follows:
Unaudited units

De Velde Somerset West 385

Greenstone Crest Johannesburg East 269
Stanley Park Johannesburg South 110

The Cambridge Johannesburg North 59
Westlake Johannesburg East 50
Total 2 087
Gross profit margin for the 2016 financial year was 42.6%, significantly
higher than the 35.9% achieved in the comparative period and above
the long term target of 40%. The average gross profit margin on a
development is 40% with a lower margin achieved on earlier phases
and a higher margin achieved in later phases. The increase in margin is
due to a number of projects being in the later phases of development.
In addition, Balwin's high margin is due to the achievement of significant
economies of scale, effective cost controls, budgeting and focused
project management, including the negotiation of competitive pricing
with contractors in the face of inflationary pressures and the weakening
of the rand to international currencies. The business is focused on the
use of locally produced construction material and contractors and as
such the exposure to variations in exchange rates is minimal.
Operating expenses increased by 68% year-on-year. The increase is as
a result of the recognition of a short term employee incentive scheme
expense, as well as higher professional fees which were incurred as a
result of listing.
Earnings per share increased by 57% to 132 cents per share. Headline
earnings per share of 131 cents per share had been achieved for the
financial year. The Company's share capital was restructured on its listing
in October 2015, with the result that 470 million shares are in issue as at
the end of the financial year.
Land debt obtained through the acquisition of additional land parcels
were mostly settled on listing. The ungearing of the balance sheet
significantly reduces risk and provides Balwin with the capacity to raise
finance for future acquisitions. Cash flow management remains a key
focus in the business. Cash flow generated is closely monitored to ensure
that proceeds are reinvested into the business in order to create long
term value for shareholders as well ensuring an appropriate margin of
safety.
Cash and cash equivalents increased by 256%, to R462 million. The
significant increase in the cash holding is as a result of effective cash
management and management's focus on ensuring an adequate margin
of safety. Balwin aims to reinvest 70% of cash generated from operations
and distribute 30% to shareholders as a dividend on a bi-annual basis.
Development finance for the 2016 financial year remains in line with the
comparative period, despite a 76% increase in construction. This is as
result of a focused effort to reduce gearing in order to increase the ability
to raise finance for future acquisitions.
Residential property market overview and company prospects:
Balwin are pleased with this set of results against the backdrop of a
challenging economic environment and remains committed to delivering
sustainable value for shareholders. The company remains focused on
the delivery of the secured pipeline as well as securing further strategic
projects to supplement this pipeline.
Management expects the residential property market to continue to
be driven by macroeconomic trends in the short to medium term. The
consumer's disposable income is expected to decline as a result of the
current South African economic outlook, which directly impacts on the
ability to afford more expensive homes. The number of households in
key target nodes has however increased significantly over the past five
years and it is expected to continue to expand in the upcoming years.
To this end, the demand for middle segment residential units is expected
to remain strong and management anticipates the demand for the
Balwin product to remain robust.
The business remains adaptable and flexible to the changing market
environment, having the ability to vary the one, two and three bedroom
development model in response to the ever changing needs of the
consumer.
Management remains focused on the core business of property
development, with an emphasis on the build-to-sell model. Development
of a rental portfolio remains a long term objective of the business with
the aim of supplementing the build-to-sell model which will remain the
core business of Balwin.

prior to listing.
