MEXICO CITY, Feb. 27, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Corporacion GEO S.A.B. de C.V. (BMV: GEOB; GEOB:MM, ADR Level I CUSIP: 21986V204; Latibex: XGEO) GEO, Mexico's leading low-income housing developer, today announced results for the fourth quarter 2011. Accumulated Revenues and EBITDA increased 10.5% and 12.8% respectively, year on year.
Luis Orvananos Lascurain, Corporacion GEO's CEO, commented, "The transition phase that took place in the housing industry throughout 2011- including the new housing guidelines that today are key elements in creating sustainable communities- represented a considerable challenge, to which only a few players have been able to adapt. GEO's revenues increased 10.5% in 2011, based on more than 57,800 titled units. This was possible due to our commitment to delivering improved quality of life and adding value to thousands of Mexican families, which puts our Company one step ahead of our peers in the housing industry."
He continued, "Furthermore, the investments we have made in recent years will strengthen our operations in the future ahead, as we continue to focus on financial equilibrium while maintaining conservative growth and improving corporate debt levels. We will also continue identifying ways to generate increased efficiencies that will improve profitability."
