SCE's H1/21 results were satisfactory, with healthy growth in contracted sales and revenue despite weaker margins. The pace of property delivery remained reasonable, reflecting the company's efficient execution and good access to financing to support construction works. The softer margins stemmed from price controls and increasing land prices. Going forward, profitability may remain at the current levels, with management estimating a gross profit margin of c. 25%. While borrowings continued to increase y-o-y to support SCE's expansion, the credit metrics improved broadly thanks to the strong top-line growth. The expansion pace appeared rather aggressive, with 53% of the gross contracted sales spent on land acquisitions. The land spending rate (as a percentage of contracted sales) has exceeded the regulator's 40% threshold. The company will need to slow its pace of land acquisitions in H2/21.
