First-half 2016

RENTAL INCOME UP 11.1%

  • Strong operating activity - EPRA earnings up 64%

BforBank expanded its premises in the Europlaza tower by signing a lease on June 1, 2016 for a "garden floor" covering 2,200 sq.m.

Boursorama will gradually move from its offices at Arcs de Seine to its You building in Boulogne this summer. Marketing of the soon-to-be-vacant premises (approximately 10,000 sq.m) is already under way.

The occupancy rate for the Company's assets was up compared with first-half 2015, at 94.6%.

IFRS revenue for first-half 2016 stood at €35 million, up 16.1% compared with the prior-year period.

EPRA earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2016 increased significantly to €14 million from €8.4 million for the year-earlier period, thanks mainly to higher rental income and €4 million in indemnities received.

  • Total Share Return 17.3% over the last 12 months

       
The portfolio was valued at €967 million excluding transfer duties (€1,040 million including transfer duties) as of June 30, 2016, versus €942 million as of December, 2015 and €902 million as of June 30, 2015. This resulted in a reduction in the loan-to-value (LTV) ratio to 41%.

EPRA NNNAV excluding transfer duties stood at €40.0 per share, compared with €39.2 per share as of December 31, 2015. The increase over the first half year reflected higher recurring income (positive impact of €0.60 per share), benefits granted to lessees (positive impact of €0.20 per share), changes in the properties' appraisal values (positive impact of €1.90 per share) and changes in the fair value of bank debt (positive impact of €0.20 per share), partly offset by dividend distributions (impact of €2.00 per share).

The Total Share Return for the last 12 months is 17.3%, with a NAV growth of 11.8% and a distribution ratio on NAV of 5.5%
