What Vinte Reported for July to September
Revenue rose 5.9% to 4,361 million pesos (about US$234 million), according to the quarterly report Vinte filed on Wednesday 21 October. EBITDA, a measure of operating earnings before interest, tax and depreciation, rose 13.1% to 876 million pesos (about US$47 million).
Pre-tax profit grew 10.1% to 582 million pesos (about US$31.2 million). The Vinte profit still slipped 0.6% to 377 million pesos (about US$20.2 million), from 380 million pesos (about US$20.4 million) a year earlier.
Why the Vinte Profit Slipped Despite Higher Sales
Earnings per share came in at 1.32 pesos (about US$0.07), against 1.36 pesos (about US$0.07) a year earlier, a drop of 2.6%. Pre-tax profit rose, so the whole decline came after the tax line.
The company blamed a higher deferred income tax charge, which pushed the effective tax rate from 28% to 35% of pre-tax profit. It said the Vinte profit dip did not reflect weaker operations, and gross margin widened by 2.1 points to 34.8%.
Fewer Homes Sold at Higher Prices
Vinte deeded 3,565 homes in the quarter, down 10.1% from 3,967 a year earlier. The average price rose about 17.5% to 1.21 million pesos (about US$65,000).
Chief executive René Martínez said the results reflect a focus on homes priced between 1.0 million and 1.5 million pesos (about US$54,000 to US$80,500). Sales through Unamos Créditos, an Infonavit scheme that lets two unmarried people combine their mortgages, made up 23% of revenue, up from 19%.
Nine Months, Debt and Dividends
For January to September, revenue rose 7.9% to 11,928 million pesos (about US$640 million). EBITDA rose 12.3% to 2,183 million pesos (about US$117 million).
The nine-month Vinte profit grew 3.8% to 1,011 million pesos (about US$54.3 million). Net debt stood at 7,911 million pesos (about US$425 million), or 2.62 times EBITDA.
That is the eighth quarter in a row with debt below 3.00 times EBITDA. In August Vinte sold a 500 million peso (about US$26.8 million) bond at a fixed 8.34%.
Vinte paid the first dividend instalment of 1.24 pesos (about US$0.07) a share on 12 October. A further 0.54 pesos (about US$0.03) a share is due by February 2027.
What It Means for US Readers
Vinte builds homes for Mexican workers who pay for them mostly with Infonavit, the state housing fund financed by employer contributions. Management tied the demand to formal job growth, a higher minimum wage and Infonavit’s new joint-credit scheme.
In August, Green Street, a California real estate research firm, published its first study of Mexico’s housing sector. The company links the study on its website.
