Excelente año para MERLIN Properties, con crecimiento en rentas brutas del 5,2% y más de €500 millones de ingresos

  • Buen rendimiento operativo, con crecimiento de las rentas comparables (LfL) del 3,4% y release spread positivo en todas las categorías de activos.
  • El EBITDA alcanzó los € 379,2 millones, +3,3% comparado con FY23.
  • Mejora del beneficio operativo ("FFO") hasta los € 310,8 millones (+9,4% comparado con FY23).
  • La revalorización de los centros de datos (+16,9% vs. FY23) compensó una ligera caída por ajuste de yields en otras categorías de activos.
  • Tanto S&P (BBB+) como Moody's (Baa1) mejoraron la calificación de la Compañía por su bajo endeudamiento y mejor perfil de generación de flujos.
  • El valor neto de activos según EPRA ("EPRA NTA") se sitúa en 14,32 euros por acción, ya diluido tras la ampliación de capital y el reparto de 18 céntimos de dividendo en el segundo semestre.

Madrid, 27 de febrero – MERLIN Properties ha cerrado 2024 con unos ingresos totales de €516,7 millones (incluyendo rentas brutas de €500,4 millones), un EBITDA de €379,2 millones, un beneficio operativo de €310,8 millones (55 céntimos de euro por acción) y un beneficio neto contable de €283,8 millones.

El valor bruto de activos (GAV) se sitúa en € 11.540 millones, sin práctica variación gracias a la revalorización de los centros de datos (+16,9% vs. FY23). El valor neto de activos asciende a €8.071 millones (€14,32 por acción).

El nivel de endeudamiento ("LTV") se sitúa en 28,3% (vs. 35,0% en FY23), con una posición de liquidez de €2.364 millones. El 100% de la deuda es a tipo fijo y el vencimiento medio de la misma es de 4,3 años.

Evolución del negocio

En oficinas la compañía continúa creciendo en ingresos comparables (+3,9%) y en las renovaciones de renta (+2,3%). La ocupación acaba en máximos históricos, alcanzando el 93,7%. Destaca el comportamiento de Madrid que se está beneficiando de los primeros indicios de desequilibrio entre oferta y demanda debido a la ola de reconversiones en residencial y hotelero.

El comportamiento de la cartera logística sigue siendo sobresaliente, un año más, con un crecimiento de las rentas comparables del +2,8%, incremento de rentas en renovaciones (+1,4%) y ocupación del 99,4%, estableciendo un máximo histórico difícilmente repetible.

En el año se han firmado varios proyectos llave en mano entre los que destacan: tres naves logísticas en Lisboa Logistics Park con un cliente final que absorbe 134.695 m2 , más una nave de 18.133 m2 en

Cabanillas Park II para Total y una nave de 2.477 m2 en Sevilla ZAL para XPO. Del total de la cartera de suelo disponible para desarrollo (511.000 m2 ), 155.000 m2 se encuentran prealquilados y 77.000 m2 con cartas de interés firmadas, que irán cristalizando en prealquileres en los próximos meses.

Magnífico rendimiento operativo en centros comerciales, con crecimiento de ingresos comparables (+2,7%) y de renta en las renovaciones (+3,3%). La tasa de esfuerzo sigue en mínimos históricos (11,2%) y las afluencias (+2,5%) y ventas (+5,5%) en niveles superiores a 2023. La ocupación acaba en máximos históricos (96,5%).

Dentro de la Fase I (64 MW) de desarrollo de nuestro plan MEGA, los data centers de MAD01-GET, BCN01-PLZF y BIO03-ARA cuentan ya con 26 MW equipados y listos para operación, de los cuales 21,2 MW están alquilados. Dentro de la Fase II (203 MW), se han obtenido las licencias de construcción de LIS01-VFX y BIO02-ARA y han comenzado las obras. Asimismo, se ha llegado a un acuerdo con el gobierno regional de Extremadura para impulsar dos campus de IA con una capacidad IT de 1 GW cada uno en Navalmoral de la Mata y Valdecaballeros y se ha firmado la compraventa de un terreno en Tres Cantos (Madrid) para construir un data center de 30MW, ampliable en el futuro mediante edificios sucesivos hasta crear un mini-campus de 160MW.

Valor de la cartera de activos

El valor bruto de los activos ("Gross Asset Value" o "GAV") de MERLIN asciende a €11.540 millones a 31 de diciembre de 2024, según tasaciones realizadas por Savills, CBRE y JLL. Por categoría de activos, destaca el valor creado durante el año en los desarrollos de centros de datos (€60,3m). El valor neto de activos asciende a €8.071 millones, equivalentes a €14,32 de EPRA NTA por acción.

Perspectivas 2025

Finalmente, se estima un FFO de alrededor € 0,54 p.a. para 2025 correspondiente a un dividendo por acción similar al propuesto para 2024 (€ 0,40 p.a.).
