What Kaufman & Broad does

Kaufman & Broad SA is a publicly listed French residential real estate developer (Euronext Paris: KOF) founded in 1968 and headquartered in Courbevoie. The company designs, builds, and markets new-build apartments, houses, parking spaces, and select commercial premises across more than 80 cities in 11+ French regions, operating end-to-end through the VEFA (off-plan) process — from land sourcing ("Je vends mon terrain") and co-promotion partnerships, through reservation, notarized sales, buyer customization (TMA), construction tracking via a dedicated client portal (mon-espace.kaufmanbroad.fr), to key handover and post-sale guarantees (décennale, parfait achèvement, biennale, dommages-ouvrage). All new residences comply with the French RE 2020 environmental standard and incorporate domotics. Underlying technology is a real-estate platform built on Microsoft Azure cloud infrastructure, with Cloudinary for image delivery and Contentful as a headless CMS, supporting a self-serve property search, configurator, and investor portal (kbpatrimoine.com).

The business model centers on one-time unit sales of new-build residential real estate to two primary customer segments: owner-occupier buyers (including first-time buyers eligible for PTZ and reduced 5.5% TVA in ANRU/QPV zones) and individual/institutional real-estate investors acquiring LMNP, LMNP Géré (managed furnished rental in student/senior/tourism residences), Nue-Propriété, Patrimonial, or Dispositif Jeanbrun products. Pricing is per-lot, publicly disclosed on regional/city landing pages, and supplemented by an in-house mortgage brokerage (courtier en prêt immobilier) and rental management services. Distribution is omnichannel: the kaufmanbroad.fr direct-to-consumer site, a national phone advisory line, physical showrooms for interior design choices, partner/reseller channels via KB Patrimoine, and a referral program. FY2025 reported revenue of €1,136 million (+5% YoY), operating income of €91 million, 5,703 housing orders (+2.9%), a €2.4 billion backlog, and 32,000 units of land reserves — outpacing a French market whose volumes have halved over four years. The 2026 outlook calls for stable turnover with operating margin around 8%, supported by France's 2026 Budget Bill targeting 400,000 new homes per year.

Revenue model

1. Off-plan residential unit sales (VEFA): Primary revenue: one-time sale of newly built apartments, houses, parking spaces and commercial units to individual buyers and investors through VEFA (off-plan) contracts, with phased payments tied to construction milestones. Geographic mix concentrated in France across 80+ cities.
2. LMNP Géré (managed rental investment product): Structured managed-rental investment offering where the buyer purchases the housing unit and a professional operator (via commercial lease) handles rental management in student/senior/tourism residences. Pricing for LMNP Géré lots is shown excluding tax (e.g., '€105,380 HT').
3. Land sourcing / property resale brokerage: Acquires building land ('Je vends mon terrain' flow) from individual owners, plus engages in co-promotion (co-development) agreements with partners, evidenced by transmission of buyer data to partners for joint co-promotion projects.
4. Commercial / non-residential real-estate development: Includes large mixed-use and commercial projects such as the Austerlitz commercial project in Paris, contributing non-residential revenue to overall turnover.
