NEW YORK, March 23, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Attorney Advertising -- Bronstein, Gewirtz & Grossman, LLC notifies investors that a class action lawsuit has been filed against Desarrolladora Homex, S.A.B. de C.V. (“Homex” or the “Company”) (OTCMKTS:DHHXF) (formerly (NYSE: HXM ); formerly (OTCMKTS:DHOXQ); formerly (OTCMKTS:DHOXY)) and certain of its officers, on behalf of shareholders who purchased Homex American Depositary Shares between April 30, 2012 and May 5, 2016, both dates inclusive (the “Class Period”). Such investors are encouraged to join this case by visiting the firm’s site: http://www.bgandg.com/hxm .
This class action seeks to recover damages against Defendants for alleged violations of the federal securities laws under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
The complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, defendants made materially false and misleading statements and failed to disclose that: (1) between 2010 and 2013, Homex overstated its revenue by 355% or roughly $3.3 billion by reporting fictitious sales of more than 100,000 homes; (2) between 2010 and 2013, Homex overstated the number of units it sold by over 100,000 units or 317% of actual units sold; (3) Homex and certain of its Headquarters Financial Reporting Personnel knowingly and intentionally engaged in a scheme to materially overstate Homex’s revenues, homes sold, and other related financial items; and (4) consequently, defendants’ statements about Homex’s business, operations and prospects were materially false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times.
On March 3, 2017, Homex decided to resolve its charges with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for allegedly reporting $3.3 billion in deceitful sales revenue to boost its revenues in financial statements between 2010 and 2013. The SEC’s complaint alleges that during a three-year period, Homex exaggerated its revenue by 355%, or about $3.3 billion by reporting fabricated sales of more than 100,000 homes, thereby four times inflating the numbers of homes actually sold. The SEC’s complaint also alleges that “Homex’s Headquarters Financial Reporting Personnel intentionally and knowingly uploaded false information into the Company’s internal reporting and accounting systems in order to perpetrate the fictitious revenue scheme.”
