2021 represented for Impact Developer & Contractor, the first year of a new production cycle, the capitalization and consolidation of the company, but also the start of sales.

Last year a total of 430 units, worth of 250 million lei were pre-sold, in increase with 37% compared to 2020, etimated to be capitalized as the projects are being completed. A total of 183 units, with a value of 138 million lei, were sold. 77% of the sold units are located in LUXURIA Residence in Bucharest, where the last development phase was completed in December 2021. 

The operating profit of the group totaled 98.5 million lei, with a slight increase compared to 2020, in the context of lower sales revenues and a low level of completed units in GREENFIELD Baneasa, the group’s main project. In 2021 the gross margin was 36%, up from 31% last year. Starting with 2022, the previously signed pre-sales will be capitalized, as the projects will be completed, being fully reflected in revenues, while maintaining the trend for the gross margin.

“The year 2021 marked the beginning of the construction for the extension of some projects or the development of new ones, operations that on the residential market usually last for 3 years. It was also a year in which we optimized processes, we invested heavily, purchased land and took concrete actions for expansion in the most important cities of the country. As a result, we have seen a growing interest from the customers, a fact visible in the increasing number pre-sales, but also from the investors, who decided to join us by subscribing to the share capital increase that took place in January 2022. We aim to enhance our free-float and the liquidity of IMP shares on BVB, in order to sustain our financing program through new issues of green bonds and shares”, stated Constantin Sebeșanu, CEO Impact Developer & Contractor.
