On 3 July 2020, the Management Board of Budimex SA announced that it had decided to start the process of reviewing strategic options with respect to the development segment of the Budimex Group. The review will be aimed at analysing various available scenarios for the development of the development segment and selecting the most advantageous way to implement the long-term development strategy of Budimex SA. The company will consider expanding its geographical and product expansion in order to ultimately achieve twice as many sales on the development market.

As part of the review, Budimex intends to analyse scenarios involving e.g. in. acquiring a significant investor or investors for development activities (both minority and majority), concluding a strategic alliance with another entity, introducing Budimex Nieruchomości to the Warsaw Stock Exchange. The possibility of diversifying the development activity of the city of Szczecin is also to be analyzed. in. by building a stock of apartments for rent (resi for rent), dormitories, or the implementation of real estate projects of a commercial nature. The result of the process may also be a decision to discontinue the changes and to continue the current operating model of Budimex Nieruchomości.

Budimex has decided to join the process of selecting an external advisor from among reputable companies, whose task will be to support the management board in conducting the review.  The situation of Budimex Nieruchomości and Budimex SA is good, both companies have a strong cash position, which has improved after recent months compared to the beginning of 2020. The currently implemented and planned investments will continue unchanged, as well as further purchases of plots in all locations where Budimex Nieruchomości operates, especially in Warsaw.

The analysis we are starting is long-term. Forecasts for housing market are good. The housing base in Poland remains limited. A large part of the housing stock is at least 40 years old. The average size of the area of flats differs from the European average, which generates opportunities for the development of this segment of construction.
