JAVER REPORTS HOME SALES UP NEARLY 16% TO 4,418 UNITS IN FIRST QUARTER 2014
Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, Mexico April 29, 2014 - Servicios Corporativos Javer S.A.P.I.
de C.V., (Javer or the Company), one of the largest housing development companies in
Mexico, today announced financial results for the first quarter (1Q14) period ended
March 31, 2014.
1Q14 Highlights:
Units Sold totaled 4,418 homes, up 15.9% compared to 1Q13.
Net Revenues were Ps. 1,370.7 million, representing an increase of 22.2% compared to
1Q13, as a result of the increase of homes titled along with a higher overall sales price.
EBITDA totaled Ps. 173.6 million, representing a margin of 12.7%, which improved from
1Q13 due to i) greater sales volumes, ii) the increase in the average sales price, iii) an
improved gross margin and iv) a reduction of SG&A, as percentage of sales.
Net Income reached Ps. 10.0 million, down 88% compared to 1Q13, when the Company
registered a Ps. 154.9 million gain in the interest income line due to the depreciation of
the peso, versus Ps. 8.9 million during 1Q14, which explains the variance.

CEO STATEMENT
Mr. Eugenio Garza, Javers Chief Executive Officer commented, Javer started the year
strong as government support for the sector coupled with a relatively benign operating
environment more than offset the still sluggish underlying demand trends. The
combination of these factors helped us achieve significant growth, both in revenues and
operating earnings, with a lower than anticipated cash burn during the period. Subsidy
availability was widespread across our geographic regions and allowed us to convert a
higher percentage of our foot traffic into sales, along with stronger pricing. Furthermore,
we more than doubled subsidized sales year-over-year and under the new rules which had
much more flexibility with regard to verticality; notably, vertical housing absorbed just
54% of the total subsidies during 1Q14 compared to 100% in 1Q13.
Our key bottleneck continues to be inventory availability, which we recognize is at a
historic low, as we rush to activate as many of our subsidy targeted land reserves as we
can into this favorable window. Home starts in 1Q14 amounted to 6,079 units, a record
level since 2011 as several permitting and infrastructure bottlenecks in key developments
were resolved during the quarter. We also capitalized on a number of land acquisition
opportunities during 1Q14, either directly resulting from or as a second order effect from
the on-going restructuring of our three main competitors.
Land Capex for the quarter was Ps. 248.4 million, which was strategically balanced from a
product segment and geographic perspective. Nevertheless, we continue to be cautious
of the ever-changing nature of our business and therefore have selected land banks with
maximum flexibility to face any potential changes in the subsidy program or our
competitive landscape in 2015 and beyond. Although we were slightly cash flow negative
for the quarter, we maintained a highly liquid balance sheet to capitalize on opportunities
that may continue to present themselves in the on-going restructuring and repositioning
of assets in the business.
We believe Javer is best positioned to take advantage of these opportunities thanks to its
financial strengths and sound operations. Nonetheless, we continue to operate the
company under the assumption that none of these opportunities will transpire. Javer
remains focused on proactively managing its pricing, margins, and working capital cycle to
generate high LTM pre-tax ROIC of 21.6% and positive LTM FCF of Ps. 380.9 million. We
believe that by having a strong team, based on a conservative and balanced approach, we
can meet these financial targets regardless of the market environment in order to
increase the value of Javers stakeholders.

Looking ahead, the government continues its efforts to boost the sector, with a special
subsidy program launched in April 2014 to provide Ps. 500 million for workers earning
below 5 GMW, This program, which we expect will boost demand, is intended for the
acquisition of new and used homes in the U1 and U2 zones in 11 cities, including areas
surrounding Monterrey, Guadalajara, Queretaro and State of Mexico. In addition,
authorities approved the unemployment insurance program with a special sub-account
funded with 3% of monthly employer contributions. It is important to note that this
measure will not impact workers capacity to acquire a home nor their loan conditions;
however, if the need arises, and the worker utilizes these funds for unemployment
benefits, they may require more time to gather the necessary Infonavit points to apply for
a loan.

Mortgage Provider Mix: During 1Q14, Infonavit continued to be Javers primary mortgage
provider, representing 97.0% of total units titled (including Cofinavit), compared to 96.4%
under the same criteria in 1Q13. Cofinavit represented 4.1% in 1Q14, given that this
product is utilized to acquire residential homes. Typically, workers get their Infonavit loan
which can then be supplemented by a bank loan.

Gross Profit rose 26.1% to Ps. 377.8 million in 1Q14, from Ps. 299.6
million in 1Q13. This increase was mainly due to greater sales volumes
achieved during the quarter coupled with higher prices.
Gross Margin increased 0.8 percentage points in 1Q14 to 27.6%
compared to 26.7% in 1Q13, given the increase in our home sales margin

the depreciation of the peso, compared to Ps. 8.9 million during 1Q14, which explains the
variation for the period.

Home Starts grew 127.6% to 6,079 in 1Q14, compared to 2,671 in 1Q13, reflecting the
ramp-up in construction activity at the Companys developments derived from the
increase in the 2014 Federal budget for subsidies and loans.
Home Completions in 1Q14 increased 28.0% to 4,333 from 3,386 in 1Q13, in line with the
Companys construction plan for 2014.
Finished Home Inventory decreased to 111 units as of March 31, 2014, from 196 units
reported as of December 31, 2013, since home completions were not enough to replenish
Javers finished home inventory to more normalized levels.

LAND RESERVES
As of March 31, 2014, the Companys total land bank reached approximately 90,855 units,
of which approximately 55% were owned land reserves and 45% were held through land
