COMMENTARY
CORPORATE OVERVIEW
Balwin listed in the real estate holding and development sector of the Johannesburg Stock Exchange on 15 October 2015. The
Group is a specialist, niche, national large-scale, residential property developer focused on the turnkey development and sale of
sectional-title apartments as well as surrounding infrastructure, in the mid to upper market segment.
Estates typically consist of between 500 and 1 500 sectional title residential apartments and are located in high-density, high-
growth nodes across key metropolitan areas in Johannesburg, Pretoria, the Western Cape and KwaZulu-Natal. The Group has
a secured pipeline of 35 595 apartments across 24 locations in key target nodes with a 10 to 12-year development horizon.
Balwin estates offer secure, affordable, high-quality, environmentally friendly and conveniently located one, two, and three
bedroom sectional-title residential apartments, ranging in size from 45m2 to 120m2. Prices range from R699 999 to R1 799 000
per apartment (including modern fitted kitchen appliances) within the standard operating model. Apartments are designed to
appeal to a wide range of home buyers, catering for first-time, move-up, active adult, young professional, young family, older
family, retirees as well as buy-to-let.
All residential estates are developed and marketed under the Balwin Properties brand, with larger estates (comprising
approximately 500 apartments and above) having a unique lifestyle centre with well-established concierge and other all-
inclusive value-added services such as a spa, restaurant, gym, squash court, action sports field, games room, movie theatre,
heated swimming pools, playgrounds and free wi-fi within the lifestyle centres. Balwin also develops and maintains control
over certain surrounding infrastructure such as fibre networks, storage, schools and solar energy solutions from which it derives
annuity income.
Strategy
Balwin's core strategy is to deliver sustainable long-term returns to shareholders through its unique business model. The
Company re-invests profit after tax to support the long-term growth of the business while maintaining dividend distributions
in line with the target dividend policy.
Balwin's current strategy rests on four key elements:
- Core business
The core business focuses on providing a quality product to the middle-income population at an affordable price. Balwin
benefits from economies of scale, in-house construction and management whilst retaining flexibility throughout individual
phases of large developments.
- Upmarket developments
To support the core business model, Balwin continually tailors its developments to match market demands, offering
innovations in lifestyle and convenience. Upmarket developments in select nodes, where higher selling prices can be
achieved (R1 499 000 to R2 999 000), form part of this approach.
- Rent to buy developments in partnership with property funds
Balwin takes responsibility for the design and construction of developments for rental purposes. Balwin will market and
secure lease agreements for the apartments with prospective tenants before selling them on to property funds in phases.
- Annuity income
A new business segment launched from the existing asset base to generate annuity income, including through partnerships
to implement solar energy solutions, the leasing of education facilities to experienced and robust operators, storage
solutions and fibre infrastructure within the Balwin estates.
OPERATING MODEL
Balwin operates a build-to-sell model, currently developing and selling between 2 000 and 3 500 sectional-title residential
apartments per year. The Group has the ability to increase this capacity to approximately 5 000 sectional-title residential
apartments per year, based on its existing infrastructure and development pipeline. The Company also generates additional
annuity income through the management and ownership of infrastructure surrounding its developments.
Key aspects of the operating model
- Keeping a constant rate of construction (continuous development) subject to demand - to retain contractors, maintain
quality and support the build to sell model
- Insource all critical aspects of Balwin's build to sell model to contain costs and control output; including through in-house
centralised procurement and quantity surveying departments
- Focuses on the mid-market segment in terms of the pricing and location of developments. Key selling points are lifestyle,
quality and brand
- Continuous focus on keeping up with international standards and best practice in the design and marketing of Balwin
developments
- Target key nodes in Johannesburg north, south and east as well as Pretoria, the Western Cape and KwaZulu-Natal; ensuring
that revenue streams and demand is not concentrated but rather diversified across various nodes
Continuous development approach
Balwin follows a continuous development approach. Its success is based on:
- selling 20 to 25 apartments per location, per month across diverse locations;
- keeping operational costs and costs of its land acquisitions in line;
- targeting a profit margin of between 35% and 40%; and
- executing on its land acquisition strategy in key target nodes.
The continuous development model sustains pricing tension in target nodes and retains key artisanal skills as project teams
revolve between estates, depending on the stage of development at a particular site. 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 apartments per block (three-bedroom apartments on the ground and first floors, and one- and two-bedroom apartments
on the upper floors), allowing the Company to benefit from significant economies of scale.
Mitigating development risk
The construction of new developments is generally undertaken against pre-sales to interested buyers. Residential estates are
built and marketed in phases (between 50 and 100 apartments), allowing for appropriate risk management at all stages of the
development process.
Mitigating margin pressure and keeping costs in line
Balwin's policy is to source all major construction material, fittings and furnishings locally, in order to maintain quality and contain
costs. As such, imports are minimal and the Company's exposure to currency fluctuations are minimal. Significant input costs to
developments include cement as well as plumbing, electrical and kitchen installations. Recently, Balwin established centralised
procurement and quantity surveying departments to ensure that it leverages its scale optimally across all developments.
Key differentiators
Key differentiators in Balwin's build-to-sell model include the ability to deliver a superior offering through economies of scale, in-
house turnkey development including construction and construction management, local sourcing of key materials, focus within
a defined middle-income segment, quality, broad market appeal, partnerships with relevant stakeholders and competitive
pricing of developed apartments in line with or below market. Balwin's residential estates typically include:
- 24-hour security with well-equipped guard houses;
- high-quality, ergonomically designed apartments that maximise apartment space and functionality;
- eco-friendly fittings, appliances and utilities (such as pre-paid electricity meters and gas and water supply meters);
- proximity to amenities such as 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.
OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCE
Balwin continued to perform well and execute on its unique and innovative business model in a tough operating environment.
Demand for the product remained strong and sales have tracked in line with expectations which resulted in good top line
growth.
The slightly lower sales volumes achieved compared to the prior corresponding period is a function of fewer developments
coming to market for sales due to the delays experienced in obtaining certain council approvals for The Blyde, The Whisken, The
Reid and Ballito Hills which resulted in construction delays and therefore the handing over of an anticipated 300 apartments to
clients. This negatively impacted the financial performance of the business due to the timing difference of the registrations taking
place against initial timelines. Good progress has been made since the period-end regarding the approvals and construction is
on track.
In addition, the large number of early stage developments currently underway required the Company to invest extensively on
civils and infrastructure works ahead of the construction of apartments starting across these new suburbs. Balwin currently has
three large-scale developments requiring this investment.
Significant progress was made on the Waterfall properties with all regulatory approvals obtained for The Polo Fields development
on which phase 1 and 2 were handed over in July 2017. Sales at the Kikuyu development have also been outstanding with
the first two phases handing over in November 2017. A total of 643 sales were achieved across the Waterfall developments.
During the period, Balwin established its office in Umhlanga which earmarks the penetration of Balwin into KwaZulu-Natal.
Ballito Hills is the first development in the region. The development launched for sales with more than 150 sales achieved to
date and the first phase expected to be registered early in the 2019 financial year.
Balwin Fibre, a new subsidiary launched during the period, will own all Fibre infrastructure across Balwin estates going forward
with the aim of becoming a large standalone fibre network operator in South Africa.
Balwin is also celebrating its 21st birthday in 2017 and ran a promotion in partnership with radio station 947 and gave away
an apartment at the Westlake eco estate in Modderfontein. The winner, Kgoshi Maupa, will also be involved with the Balwin
Foundation.
The Balwin Foundation
Living our commitment as an invested corporate citizen of South Africa. Balwin Properties Limited has established the Balwin
Foundation NPC to support and empower our younger generation and previously disadvantaged to gain greater knowledge
and skills through technical vocational education and training. Students, employees and contractors are trained in a building
industry-related trade which includes tiling, painting, plastering, bricklaying and carpentry, of which all skills are strategically
identified as an integral part to the success of the company. The Balwin Foundation has successfully trained 100 previously
disadvantaged individuals and has funded seven university students through our bursary programme to date.
FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
During the reporting period, revenue increased by 19% compared to the prior year as a result of the higher selling prices at our
upmarket developments. The average selling price per unit was R1 218 088 (2016: R991 551) which represents an increase of
23%. This increase is as a result of the sales of 107 apartments in the Polo Fields and 24 apartments in Paardevlei Square with
an average selling price of R1 807 973 and R2 415 847 respectively being handed over to clients during the reporting period.
The increase in the average selling price is also due to more two- and three-bedroom apartments being handed over. The
average selling price is expected to remain flat due to the tough economic conditions currently being experienced in the market.
Gross profit margin
The gross profit margin achieved for the period was 32.4% compared to 41.8% in the prior comparative period. This is due
to the large number of early stage developments currently under way. The gross profit margin of a project increases across
the life of a project with the lowest at the start and the highest at the end. The business is targeting a gross profit margin of
between 35% and 40% through the entire lifecycle of a project, with typically higher margins being achieved on Gauteng-
based projects.
Balwin has centralised its procurement processes with the establishment of a new procurement department which has already
unlocked significant cost savings.
Operating expenses
Operating expenses declined by 13% compared to the prior period due to the reclassification of labour related payroll costs
from operating expenses to cost of sales. Additional costs linked to the opening of the KwaZulu-Natal office were incurred in
the period. The new centralised procurement department is expected to result in significant reduction in overheads and efficient
cost management.
Earnings per share and headline earnings per share
Earnings per share and headline earnings per share both declined by 5% to 35 cents from 37 cents (H1: FY17) for the
reporting period.
Funding structure and costs
Development finance is obtained on a phase by phase basis. The development finance is secured against the pre-sales of
the specific phase being financed. Development finance is obtained at a loan to value of 70% with the remainder of the
construction costs financed through equity.
Finance is currently obtained through South Africa's major banks including Investec, Nedbank and Absa.
The group's long-term debt to equity ratio as at the end of the reporting period was 29% compared to 37% in the prior
corresponding period.
Dividend
A dividend of 10 cents per share has been declared, in line with the board's dividend policy of distributing 30% of after-tax
profit to shareholders.
CHANGES TO THE BOARD
During the reporting period, Mr Tomi Amosun and Ms Thoko Mokgosi-Mwantembe were appointed to the board as independent
non-executive directors on 16 May 2017.
The board now comprises three executive directors, one non-executive director and five independent non-executive directors.
Prospects
Management is focused on the long-term growth of the business through the delivery of an innovative lifestyle product to the
South African market. Continued urbanisation and the growth of the South African middle-class will increase the demand for
affordable high-quality sectional title apartments whilst there is a relatively low supply by property developers.
Great focus is being placed on operational performance and execution across all developments, especially during the initial
phases. Careful capital allocation and cautious cash flow management remain priorities. The team is also implementing
initiatives to adjust the configuration of apartment blocks, the pace of development and the pricing points to address market
dynamics and maintain healthy level of sales.
Significant progress has been made regarding regulatory approvals and the management team is working closely with the
authorities to resolve any outstanding issues. The delays at The Blyde, The Whisken, The Reid and Ballito Hills are expected to be
resolved with sales on these developments coming on stream in the 2019 financial year. Furthermore, all new land acquisitions
are now done on the basis that all regulatory approvals have been secured.
Management is also focusing on delivering on its rental model through strategic alliances such as the one announced with
Transcend in August. Going forward, the Company will also seek to acquire zoned land on which repayments can be made on
registrations.
The increased scale brought about by the new developments, the delayed projects coming on stream, costs controls, operational
efficiencies and the benefit of new annuity income initiatives such as fibre, solar energy solutions, storage and education will
support the company's performance.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS
FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 31 AUGUST 2016
1. Basis of preparation
The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with and containing the information required
by IAS 34: Interim Financial Reporting as well as the SAICA Financial Reporting Guides as issued by the Accounting Practices Committee, the JSE
Listings Requirements and the Companies Act, 2008 (No 71 of 2008) as amended. They have been prepared on the historical cost basis, except
for certain financial instruments which are measured at fair value, and are presented in South African Rand, which is the Group's functional and
presentation currency.
The accounting policies are in terms of International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") and are consistent with those of the consolidated
