MEXICO CITY, July 24 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Corporacion GEO S.A.B de
C.V. (BMV: GEOB; CORPGEO MX, ADR Level I CUSIP: 21986V204; Latibex: XGEO) GEO,

results. Year-on-year sales, EBITDA and net income rose 27.1%, 25.2% and
11.1%, respectively.
Luis Orvananos Lascurain, Chairman and CEO of Corporacion GEO, commented:
"We reported another excellent quarter, with record revenue and EBITDA growth,
building on our first quarter's strong results. This performance once again
is validation of the success of our strategy: to focus on the fast-growing
economic and affordable housing segment. GEO is clearly filling a need for an
important segment of the population, supported by the Government's social
policy. We sold more than 13,000 homes this quarter, 61% of which reflect the
strong demand from this segment. Top line growth also underscores the success
of the measures implemented to reduce production seasonality."

our vision for 2012. We remain committed to creating sustainable communities
and cities while increasing productivity and efficiencies through the launch
of GEO's "Alpha Project", the housing industry's first prefabricated
components factory inLatin America. Our objective is to become the leader in
quality, brand, innovation, service and value added features for low-income
housing, while maintaining our focus on profitability and financial strength."

RESULTS FOR THE SECOND QUARTER OF 2008
Revenues
Revenues for the quarter rose 27.1% year-on-year to Ps.4,615.6 million.
This revenue growth was driven primarily by a 25.1% increase in the number of
homes sold, a total of 13,009 units, compared to 10,399 units sold in 2Q07, as
GEO continued to implement its strategy that focuses on the high-growth,
low-income segment of the population. In fact, 61.8% of total sales for the
quarter were concentrated in the lower income segment, compared to 53% in
2007. This is in line with our 2008 objective to reach 60% of total units sold
in the low-income segment. Including the affordable plus segment, over 90% of
units sold were at the affordable entry level. This strategy had a marginal
impact on our average selling price, which increased 2.7% year-on-year to
Ps.332,852.
The strong increase in revenue in 2Q08 exceeds the average growth expected
for a second quarter, reflecting the change in seasonality of GEO's business.
While traditionally the first half of the year represented 40% of annual
sales, the objective is to bring that percentage up to approximately 45%,
reducing seasonality.

*Sales mix breakdown follows methodology implemented by INFONAVIT.
Homes sold through INFONAVIT mortgages represented 68% of total units, up
from 56% in the second quarter of last year. Homes sold through FOVISSSTE
represented over 18.2% of total units, up from 17.7% last year. This increase
is evidence of INFONAVIT and FOVISSSTE's support of GEO's product, and is
further validation of GEO's strategy to increase its focus on the low-income
segment, which is served by these institutions. Sales distribution by mortgage
type for the second quarter was as follows:

Operating Profit
Operating profit for the quarter increased 26.7% year-on-year to Ps.790
million with operating margin declining 5 bps to 17.1% during the period. This
reflects the combined effect of the 55 bps decrease in gross margin following
the change in sales mix as the Company increases its focus on the fast growing
lower income segments, largely offset by a 50 bps SG&A improvement.
Improvement in SG&A as a percentage of sales was due to tighter administrative
cost control and streamlining of the administrative functions, including a
staff reduction.

EBITDA
EBITDA for the quarter increased 25.2% year-on-year to Ps.1,096.9 million
pesos, with EBITDA margin down 36 bps to 23.8% from 24.1% in 2Q07. This
reduction was mainly due to the decrease in gross margin explained above.
Growth in capitalized expenses exceeded revenue growth, as more debt was used
to finance the higher growth in 2Q08 to change production seasonality.

Comprehensive Result of Financing
Comprehensive Result of Financing for the quarter rose 37.6% year-on-year
to Ps.117.8 million. This largely reflected the Ps.50.6 million increase in
financial expenses resulting from the increase in working capital loans,
financial leasing and long term debt used to finance the Company's growth and
to reduce the seasonality of our business.
GEO's monetary position declined by Ps.12.7 million year-on-year as this
effect was eliminated at the beginning of 2008, a result of the application of
the new Mexican accounting principles.

Net Profit, Margin & ROE
Net Profit for the quarter rose 11.1% to Ps.432.3 million, equivalent to
an EPS of Ps.0.80, from a net profit of Ps.389.2 million, or an EPS of
Ps.0.73, in 2Q07. Net Profit margin, however, declined 135 bps to 9.4% during
the period, due to increases in the Comprehensive Result of Financing, tax
provision and Minority Interest. The effective income tax rate (provision) for
2Q08 rose to 32.8% compared with 28.5% in 2Q07, mainly reflecting inflationary
fiscal effects that increased the taxable amounts. Additionally, the Ps.17.2
million increase in minority interest was the result of land acquisitions
through joint ventures with Prudential Real Estate Investors and Solida
Banorte, announced in 2004 and 2007, respectively.
Earnings per share for the last twelve-months decreased 10.4% to Ps.2.83
from Ps.3.16 in 2Q07. Return on Majority Equity in 2Q08 declined to 20.3% year
over year from 29.7% in 2Q07, and quarter-on-quarter by 61 bps from 20.9%.

Revenues ratio was 47.2%, 3.7 percentage points above the 2Q07 level. This
Ps.596.9 million increase is due mainly to the change in seasonality of the
business, reflected in a considerable increase in units sold while still in
production, to be finished and paid for during the second half of 2008.

through a combination of its own land, land outsourcing, optioned land and
joint ventures with Prudential Real Estate Investors and Banorte's Solida.
Through these, GEO controls a land bank representing 4.5 to 5 years of
continued annual unit production growth, with low financial cost and limited
ownership risk.

Debt and Structure of Financial Liabilities
Total Debt for 2Q08 increased year-on-year by Ps.1,600 million, or 32.9%.
As a result, the leverage ratio rose to 1.3x from 1.2x as of June 2007, but
remained unchanged quarter-on-quarter. During this period however, GEO's
profile improved with short-term debt falling to 55.9% of total debt, at June
30, 2008 from 59.6% of total debt at June 30, 2007.
Bridge Loans represented 34.1% of Total Debt, and are used to finance the
construction of approximately 30,500 homes at GEO's 107 business units. Bridge
loan structures are based on project cycles, with their maturity always
exceeding the period required for each project's completion and payment
collection. Bridge loan payment is also linked to housing sales, not to a
specific date, and GEO obtains a new bridge loan for each project, with the
physical project acting as collateral.
GEO has available lines of credit in excess of Ps. 8,833 million pesos; of
which Ps. 3,624 correspond to bridge loans, Ps. 5,209 to credits for land
purchase, direct credits, commercial papers, euro-commercial paper, the
Certificados Bursatiles program (medium term notes program) and leasing. This
access to capital provides the Company with financial resources necessary to
guarantee the long-term continuity of its operations.

Director of INFONAVIT, presented GEO with an award at INFONAVIT'S 4th Economic
Housing Forum for best post-sales support services and maintenance practices
at GEO's "Joyas delDesierto", a housing development located in the city of
Torreon, Coahulila.
New Joint Venture: GEO completed a joint venture with "Multimedios Redes"
in June, providing GEO's customers access to triple play services (telephone,
broadband Internet and cable) without up-front costs for our customers. These
kinds of synergies provide important value-added services and underscore GEO's
commitment to its clients.
GEO Evolution ERP Project (ERP) Milestones: During 2Q08, GEO made major
advances on its ERP project. This project represents a total investment of
more than US$20 million and has already been fully implemented at GEO's
corporate offices and inMexico's central region or approximately 40% of GEO's
total business. Implementation in the southern region (Jalisco andGuerrero)
will continue throughout 3Q08 with full and complete implementation expected
by the 1H09.
EXPECTATIONS FOR FY2008
Management maintains its financial expectations as revised within our 1Q08
earnings announcement. Management confirms revenue and EBITDA growth
expectations of 12% to 14% in real terms, equivalent to 16% to 18% in nominal
terms -- assuming inflation levels of 4%. In addition, management continues to
expect the accounts receivable to sales ratio to end the year between 42% to
44%. Net debt at year-end is expected to decline to the range of $3.9 to $4.2
billion pesos. As a result, the total debt to EBITDA ratio is anticipated to
range between 1.4 to 1.6 times. Furthermore, for 2008 we expect a negative
free cash flow between $1.0 to $1.2 billion pesos.
