BUSINESS ACTIVITY AT 30 SEPTEMBER 2025

RESERVATIONS ONCE AGAIN DRIVEN BY HOMEBUYERSSTRONG GROWTH IN SERVICED PROPERTIES GUIDANCE FOR 2025 CONFIRMED

Housing market undergoing significant change

Retail market down 9% in the first half of the year, reflecting the following:

End of the Pinel scheme (reservations by individual investors down 45%)

Continued momentum for homebuyers (up 11%)

Prevailing supply constraints ahead of upcoming local elections

In this new market, Nexity booked more than 7,000 reservations in 9M, including nearly 2,000 by homebuyers (28% of the sales mix), confirming strong homebuyer-driven momentum

Homebuyer reservations up for the 7th consecutive quarter;1 up 26% in 9M, driven by an appealing range of prices, products and financing aligned with client purchasing power, as well as the first effects of the extension of the PTZ interest-free loan scheme

Volume of bulk sales up, as expected, starting in Q3 (nearly 2,000 reservations booked in Q3, equating to 50% of cumulative volume over 9 months)

Supply for sale aligned with current market conditions: around 5,100 units, equating to a supply/total market ratio2 identical to its 2019 level; absorption rate improving (5 months), thanks to the recalibration launched in 2024 and the selective development approach; virtually no unsold completed homes (~100 units)

Strong recovery in Subdivisions (up 41% to ~1,000 reservations) driven by the extension of the PTZ interest-free loan scheme to single-family homes

Ongoing revenue growth in our Serviced Properties business

9M revenue: €1,932 million, including, as expected, a sharp downturn in Commercial Real Estate due to the base effect arising from the deliveries of large-scale projects in 2024

-5% for Urban Planning and Residential Real Estate Development, due to the slowdown in business activity from projects underway since 2022

+13% for Serviced Properties, driven by growth in the property portfolio and high occupancy rates

Property Management disposal plan finalised

Disposal of Accessite finalised on 1 October

Guidance for 2025 confirmed3

Return to operating profitability: Current operating profit4 positive

Tight grip on the balance sheet maintained: IFRS net debt less than €380 million confirmed

Includes the impact of the increased shareholding in Angelotti: exercise of the purchase option announced on 30 September, bringing the stake held from 55% to 80%5

VÉRONIQUE BÉDAGUE, CHAIRWOMAN AND CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER, COMMENTED:

"Nexity's business activity continued to improve in the third quarter, despite a market constrained by the end of France's Pinel scheme, an unstable political environment and the wait-and-see attitude for building permits ahead of the upcoming local elections. This momentum confirmed the strategic relevance of our positioning with regard to lessors and individuals alike, as well as our adaptability, with steady growth in homebuyer reservations for the past seven quarters (up 26% since the beginning of 2025). Our performance was driven by our appealing supply, which is adapted to demand and our clients' purchasing power. This turnaround will become more pronounced as we ramp up our new organisation, focused on selective development in line with client demand, to return to profitable growth in 2025."

I.     REVENUE AND BUSINESS ACTIVITY BY DIVISION

Planning and Development, Residential Real Estate

Revenue from Urban Planning and Residential Real Estate Development came to €1,576 million at end-September, down 5% compared with the first nine months of 2024, mainly reflecting the decline in business activity from projects underway due to the use of the percentage-of-completion method.

Business activity for the sector was affected by a market environment undergoing profound changes, as seen in the more than 40% decrease in volume between 2019 and 2024 and a sales mix that has shifted towards bulk sales.

The retail market was down 9% in the first half of 2025, reflecting the following in particular:

End of the Pinel scheme, with a 45% decrease in reservations by individual investors

Continued momentum for homebuyers (up 11%)

Supply for sale at end-September 2025 came to 5,084 units, down 12% relative to 9M 2024, due to efforts to recalibrate and adapt supply in 2024, as well as ongoing selective development. As part of its ongoing review of supply in the planning stage, in light of the context and the targeted analysis of supply carried out at the end of Q3 2025, the Group decided to abandon 11 projects designed prior to year-end 2023, leading to its cancellation of 570 reservations (bulk sales) recorded prior to 2024.

With a supply/total market ratio6 at its 2019 level, the decrease in supply for sale reflects the Group's adjustment to new market conditions.

The absorption rate improved to 5 months (identical to that observed in 2019), securing supply rotation and resulting in virtually no unsold completed homes (~100 units).

Supply for sale under construction accounted for 45% of total supply, with more than 85% of projects scheduled to be delivered in more than 6 months and 58% in more than one year.

Lastly, 90% of supply for sale is now located in supply-constrained areas, and 100% is eligible for the PTZ interest-free loan as from 1 April 2025.

Against this backdrop, Nexity booked a total of 7,106 reservations over the period, down 12% by volume, in line with the change in supply for sale, reflecting an ongoing quarterly improvement, as expected (down 15% in H1, down 28% in Q1), with a price effect that remained favourable.

Retail reservations recorded in the first nine months of the year came to 3,441 units (vs 4,007 units in 9M 2024), down 14% by volume and down 10% by value, demonstrating the resilience of our prices following the recalibration carried out in 2024. This change reflected the following two trends:

Decline in individual investors, as expected, due in particular to the end of the Pinel scheme at year-end 2024 (which, for reference, accounted for 80% of individual investors and 18% of total reservations in 2024).

Strong momentum among homebuyers, with reservations up 26% in 9M 2025 to nearly 2,000 (up 31% for first-time homebuyers) and seeing growth for the 7th consecutive quarter, driven in particular by the following:

Appealing product range and effective marketing campaigns featuring innovative, attractive financing solutions aimed at helping first-time buyers and young people access loans in order to become homeowners, in particular by aligning monthly mortgage repayments as far as possible with what they used to pay in rent.

Good momentum in sales launches, with 20 launches in Q3, bringing the total number of launches in the first nine months of the year to around 70, and highly satisfactory reservation rates, reflecting the appeal of our range.

Improved financing conditions, with mortgage rates stabilising at around 3.1%7 (equating to close to an 11% boost in purchasing power for our clients in one year) and the extension of the PTZ interest-free loan scheme across France.

At end-September, homebuyers made up 28% of the sales mix, 9 points higher than in 9M 2024.

Bulk sales, which are not linear over the year, accounted for 3,665 reservations over the first nine months of the year, 50% of which were booked in Q3 (1,848 reservations), clearly demonstrating the highly seasonal nature of bulk sales in the second half of the year.

In addition, the Urban Planning business accounted for nearly 1,000 reservations for subdivisions in the first nine months of the year, up 41%, reflecting momentum amplified by the extension of the PTZ interest-free loan scheme to single-family homes starting 1 April 2025.

The backlog stands at €3.9 billion, equivalent to 1.5 years' revenue.

This volume does not yet include the initial contributions to the backlog of the Carrefour partnership, the first two building permits for which were filed in Q4 2024 and are currently being processed (for reference, revenue at termination over approximately the next ten years is estimated at more than €2 billion). Around ten other building permits are currently being worked on but have been delayed by the context of upcoming local elections in March 2026.

Planning and Development, Commercial Real Estate

With the market still at a cyclical low, as expected, Nexity did not book any significant new orders in the first nine months of the year (€15 million total, nearly 96% of which was outside the Paris region).

The Group's commercial asset diversification initiative is well underway, with strong momentum in calls for proposals, covering a wide range of property types, including hotels, cinemas, hospitals and regional centres, as well as its general contractor business.

Revenue from Urban Planning and Commercial Real Estate Development came in at €44 million for the period to end-September 2025, down 88% from end-September 2024 as a result of the delivery of large-scale commercial projects (LGC, Reiwa and Carré Invalides) in 2024 (which, for reference, accounted for a total floor area of 175,000 sq.m), and a lack of backlog replenishment over the last two financial years.

Services

Revenue from Services excluding discontinued operations amounted to €312 million at end-September 2025, up slightly, still buoyed by Serviced Properties and affected by the slowdown in Distribution over the first nine months of the year.

The Serviced Properties business (student residences, coworking spaces) posted strong growth in revenue, up 13% at €226 million, once again driven by the following:

Growth momentum in the portfolio of coworking businesses (11 new sites in 2024 and 2 new sites in 2025, for a total of nearly 170,000 sq.m under management8)

Opening of 4 new student residences over the first nine months of the year, lifting the total in operation to over 17,000 units in 54 cities

Occupancy rates remaining high for student residences (98%) and coworking spaces (85%)9

The -17% decrease in revenue from Distribution arose from lower average prices, reflecting the change in the product mix: substantial contribution of Pinel investments in 2024 vs repositioning towards smaller-scale investments such as student residences in 2025.

Following the sales finalised in 2024 of Property Management for Individuals (PMI), Nexity Property Management (NPM) and Bien'ici, revenue from Property Management, mainly generated by Accessite, the sale of which was finalised on 1 October, came to €12 million.

II.     GOVERNANCE: NEW EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE FOCUSED ON DEVELOPMENT
