I – OPERATIONAL REVIEW OF ACTIVITIES AND FINANCIAL INDICATORS FOR Q1 2025
Residential: ramp-up of the new generation offer, increase in new orders
The new generation offer developed by the Group has reversed the commecial trend of the past two years, with new orders up +6.2% in volume to 1,791 units (+0.6% in value to €472 million).
This affordable, low-carbon and profitable offer has been designed to optimize the usable square meters of living spaces without compromising on architectural or environmental quality. It is particularly popular among first-time buyers (+53.5%) and institutional buyers (+17.7%), which allowed to offset the drop in individual investors (-61.5%) following the end of the Pinel scheme.
The new generation offer now represents almost all of the Group's supply, with 2,543 units at end-March (vs. 2,801 units at end-December), while commercial launches for the quarter were up +29.5% (514 units vs 397 units in Q1 2024).
As expected, revenue of previous generation productsfell sharply to €227.5m in Q1 2025 (-50.3% vs Q1 2024). This decline relates to the production of years 2022 and 2023 (and partly year 2024), during which the Group sharply reduced its land commitments. Conversely, revenue from new generation products rose sharply, accounting for 31% of revenue for the quarter to €104.0m (vs 15% for FY 2024). Overall, Residential revenue were down -27.5%, as a result of the transition from the previous to new generation offers.
Over the coming months, the Group is expected to speed up the commercial launches of its new generation products, whose revenue should continue to grow rapidly, with a majority contribution to revenue expected between late 2025 and early 2026.
Retail: enhanced attractiveness of the portfolio and new success in station travel retail
Footfall is up +3.8%, tenants' sales are up +0.7% and rental income stands at €60.2 million (+0.9%).
The Group signed €8.0m7 new leases (vs €7.0m in Q1 2024), notably at CAP3000 and Qwartz. The Group has accelerated the rotation of certain brands, leading to temporary vacancy during the quarter, while restoring an optimal occupancy rate of 97.1% by March 31, 2025.
Altarea, in partnership with RATP Travel Retail, has been chosen to market and operate the shops in 45 new stations of the Grand Paris Express8 . These shops represent over 12,500 m² of retail space and will be operated under a 12- year concession contract.
Business Property and New businesses
This quarter, projects progressed at a good pace across all activities, particularly in photovoltaic infrastructures, where strategic partnerships are in advanced discussion with several leading players.
