Rental income (IFRS) as at December 31, 2024 (unaudited figures)
ARGAN, the leading French real estate company specializing in the development and rental of PREMIUM warehouses, is still driven by a solid momentum as it recorded tonic growth of +8% in the rental income for the year, standing at €198 million at the end of December. The real estate company thus fully met the target for the year, which was raised along the release of the rental income for the first nine months.
ARGAN maintained a full occupancy of its warehouses of 100% for the second year in a row, a result that particularly stands out in the company's market. The growth in rental income over the period was thus the result of the Group's confirmed successful commercial strategy through the full-year impact of 2023 deliveries and the effect of 2024 delivered projects, along rents' indexation (+4.6%) that took place on January 1, 2024. The sequential decline in rental income from the third (€51.1 million) to the fourth quarter (€49.1 million) of 2024 was linked to the mechanical impact of the sale of a datacenter in Wissous in October1 .
Over 12 months, ARGAN delivered 8 new sites, all pre-let conforming with its policy, and located in PRIME areas. The new platforms, all operational, are rented to:

As planned, ARGAN has thus achieved close to €180 million in developments for a total of 170,000 sq.m in 2024, representing a remarkable volume.
The average yield of projects delivered in 2024 approached 7% by standing at 6.6%, vs. 5.2 % in 2023. This high ratio testifies to ARGAN's ability to capture value through the PRIME quality of assets that are rented before their delivery and through a unique level of execution recognized on the French market for the development of its warehouses (quality of the Aut0nom® standard and respected lead times) along the tight management of its asset-property teams (anticipating the needs of the client and maintaining the quality of assets on the long run).
ARGAN successfully completed the assets disposals' program as planned for 2024, for a total of €77 million, including:
As at December 31, 2024, the built portfolio represented 3,710,000 sq.m. Standing at €3.91 billion excluding duties (vs. €3.68 billion excluding duties at the end of 2023), the increase in value recorded over the year (+6%) primarily reflected an increase in the fair value of the portfolio, driven by the growth in the market rents of the warehouses, despite capitalization rates excluding duties that slightly decompressed over the year, edging up from 5.10% at the end of 2023 (4.85% including duties) to 5.20% excluding duties as at December 2024 (i.e., 4.90% including duties). Note that the capitalization rate excluding duties nonetheless reflects a compression after a peak of 5.30% excluding duties reached as at June 30, 2024 (i.e., 5.00% including duties).
The weighted average residual lease term, computed as at December 31, 2024, decreased slightly to 5.3 years (vs. 5.7 years at December 31, 2023).
The occupancy rate of the portfolio remained at a maximum of 100% for the second year in a row with a weighted average age of 11.6 years (vs. 11.1 years as at December 31, 2023).
