PARIS--(Marketwire - Feb 14, 2013) -
Turnover and EPRA occupancy rate stable,
4.5% increase in rental income on a like for like basis
The company's consolidated turnover for 2012 amounted to EUR 82.4M,
compared to
EUR 82.3M for 2011, of which rents represented respectively EUR 69.5M and
EUR 69.4M.
The stability of the turnover has been achieved despite approximately 110
M of
asset sales over the 2011-2012 period.
This rental outcome results from a combination of rents received on
newly
delivered properties (+EUR 0.1M), net relettings (+EUR 0.6M) and
indexation of
passing rents (+EUR 2.4M), set against property disposals during the said
period
(- EUR 3M of rents).
On a like for like basis, rents increased by 4.5%.

The relative resilience of business activity was further demonstrated
by the
EPRA occupancy rate performance of 91.6% for the overall portfolio at
31st
December 2012 compared with 91.3% at 31st December 2011.
Portolio evolution:
Disposals completed in 2012 globally amounted to EUR 70M in line with
the last
prevailing independent valuations, a further EUR 40M being under
contract as at
31st December 2012.
The net asset value as of 31st December 2012 amounted to EUR 915M to be
compared
with EUR 999M a year ago and EUR 955M in June 2012. The decline results
largely from
asset disposals but also reduced property values of 2.8% on a
like-for-like basis (compared with 31st December 2011) principally
concerning provincial
sorting centers and business parks. Parisian office properties values
that are
core to the company's activity remain stable.
Other operational highlights for the 2012 fourth quarter:
* finalized the refinancing program with the signing of a new 287M,
5-year
loan. All the 2013 maturities have been refinanced or renegotiated by
anticipation during 2012. The company's overall financing cost is
extremely
competitive (below 4%) with an average duration of more than 5 years;
* 24,500 m² of new lettings and lease renewals representing EUR 2.9M
of annual
rents including 3,000 m² in Chartres (revised occupancy rate 52%)
for 18
years;
* the on-going construction of green LEB 5,200 m² office development
in
Montrouge (EUR 23M of investment pre-financed in 2011); the delivery of
which
has been scheduled for the 2013 2nd quarter;
* the sale of the company's minority stake in a business park in
Châtenay
Malabry and of one of the buildings in the NXP Campus, Caen for an
aggregate
EUR 11M.
