2024 Annual results

Recurring earnings up +10%, balance sheet strengthened, favorable outlook

"In a changing real estate world, Covivio has taken advantage of its diversified real estate operator model by adapting its portfolio and enhancing its quality. With over €1 billion invested over the year, the Group seized new growth opportunities, particularly in the hotel sector, while finalizing its €1.5 billion disposal plan. The Group's excellent operating performance implied a +10% growth in recurring earnings in 2024. Covivio intends to pursue this growth momentum in 2025 and will propose a dividend increase of +6% at the next General Meeting."

Christophe Kullmann, CEO of Covivio

Covivio: a diversified and constantly improving portfolio

Covivio holds €23.1 billion (€15.6 billion Group share) of assets in Europe, managed according to three strategic pillars:

    1. Location in the heart of European capitals and major business and leisure hubs, particularly in Paris, Berlin and Milan. 94% of our assets are located in central areas1 and 99% is less than 5 minutes' walk from public transport.
    1. An innovative and integrated real estate operator approach, inspired by the hotel industry. Covivio has an integrated hotel platform, WiZiU. This know-how is also deployed through Wellio, our operated office spaces, or in our ability to propose tailor-made offers. This approach has been recognized by customers using Covivio buildings: the Kingsley 2024 survey of 270 office users in France, Italy and Germany once again revealing an overall satisfaction rating of 3.9/5 (vs. benchmark of 3.6).
    1. Sustainable development: Covivio is committed to the climate transition, for a positive and lasting impact on the city. This objective is illustrated by an ambitious carbon trajectory (40% reduction in emissions from 2010 to 2030) and is praised by the main rating agencies (5-star by GRESB and AAA by MSCI).

The portfolio consists of 51% of offices, mainly in Paris, Milan and major German cities, of which 70% in city centers (vs. 59% in 2020) and 24% in major business hubs; 29% of residential, mainly in Berlin (57% of the residential portfolio); and 20% of hotels in major European destinations (Paris, Berlin, Rome, Madrid, Barcelona, London, etc.), leased or managed by leading operators: Accor, IHG, Marriott, B&B, NH Hotels, etc.

1 Offices: centers of major European metropolises (Paris, Berlin, Milan, etc.) and main business hubs; Hotels: major European tourist destinations; Housing: Berlin, Dresden, Leipzig, Hamburg and major cities in North Rhine-Westphalia

Qualitative asset rotation

€1.1 billion invested in 2024, mainly in hotels, at a yield above 6.5%

In 2024, Covivio invested €1.1 billion (including €507 million by way of asset contributions), at an average yield above 6.5%, to strengthen its leadership in hotels and the quality of its portfolio. 67% of investments were concentrated on hotels (€733 million Group share). The year 2024 thus marked a major strengthening of this asset class, which now accounts for 20% of Covivio's portfolio, up by +3 points year-on-year.

Increased stake in Covivio Hotels subsidiary

During the first half of the year, Covivio acquired 8.7% of the capital of its subsidiary Covivio Hotels, in exchange for new Covivio shares, mainly from Generali, and now holds 52.5% of the capital of Covivio Hotels. With this contribution, equivalent to the acquisition of €507 million in assets, Covivio has strengthened its position in one of the highest-quality portfolios on the market, comprising 283 prime hotels, 90% of which are located in major European destinations, such as Paris, Berlin, Rome, London, Barcelona and Madrid.

Value-creating asset swap with AccorInvest

At the same time, Covivio has taken a significant step towards unlocking the value-creation potential of its hotel assets. In November 2024, Covivio Hotels finalized the ownership consolidation of operating and property companies held jointly with AccorInvest. The agreed value of the property companies sold to AccorInvest represents €130 million in Covivio Group share, and the agreed value of the operating companies purchased by Covivio Hotels represents €157 million. Based on 2023 figures, the difference between net rental income (100% variable) from assets sold and EBITDA from goodwill acquired represents more than €11 million. Beyond the immediate accretion to earnings, this rebalanced portfolio has significant potential for creating income and value, with €52 million Group share of capex identified with a marginal yield above 20%. Operating properties now account for 38% of the hotel portfolio, compared to 62% held with mainly fixed leases.

Acquisition of a leisure hotel in Southern Europe

On December 19, 2024, Covivio announced the acquisition of the 4* Iberostar Las Dalias hotel in Tenerife, for €81 million including transfer taxes (€43 million Group share) and a stabilized yield of 6.75%. This 429-room property is leased under a firm triple-net lease until 2041 to Iberostar, Spain's 5th largest hotel operator. Renovated in 2021 and compliant with CRREM objectives2 , it shows excellent environmental performance.

With this transaction, Covivio continues to strengthen its exposure to the hotel business, particularly in the leisure segment in Southern Europe.

Continued investment in the portfolio to enhance centrality and quality

In 2024, Covivio delivered 3 hotel operating properties in Lille and Bruges, as well as a Melia leased hotel in Malaga. These projects represent 458 keys, for capex of €15 million Group share (€28.5 million at 100%) and a marginal return on capex of over 15%. In Bruges, Covivio has introduced the new Novotel concept, after building 10 additional rooms and renovating the lobby and service areas. In Lille, two deliveries took place during the year: the Hilton Lille (replacing Crowne Plaza) after a complete renovation of the rooms, and the Grand Hotel Bellevue located in the heart of Lille's Grand Place, after the creation of 5 rooms and a rooftop bar.

In offices (25% of investments), the Group focused on its pipeline of projects, mainly located in the city centers of major European capitals, for a total investment of €279 million, Group share. In Q4 Covivio delivered L'Oréal Italia's new headquarters, part of The Sign urban regeneration project developed by the Group in Milan, which is already home to major multinationals such as AON and NTT Data. The new building, totalling 13,000 m² over 9 floors, has been designed

2 CRREM: Carbon Risk Real Estate Monitor

to the highest standards of sustainability and technological innovation, and features a facade alternating glazed surfaces and opaque metal elements. Certified WiredScore Platinum, the building is now aiming for LEED Platinum, WELL and Biodivercity certification. It represents a total investment of €76 million, with a return on investment of 6.1%.

The remaining part of investments (8%, or €88 million) mainly concerns capex for modernizing and improving the energy performance of the German residential portfolio.

€766 million of new disposal agreements signed in 2024

In a still quiet investment market, Covivio has signed disposal agreements worth €766 million Group share (€1.3 billion at 100%), with an average margin of +3% on appraised values at the end of 2023 and an average yield of 5.1%. With €1.6 billion in disposals and agreements signed, Covivio has finalized its €1.5 billion disposal plan between the end of 2022 and the end of 2024.

In offices, the Group secured €361 million in disposal agreements (€428 million at 100%), close to appraised values (-0.5%) at a yield of 5.6%. These disposals involved both mature assets and buildings to be converted to residential use. At the end of 2024, Covivio signed an agreement with Valesco for the future headquarters of a luxury brand in Milan, for almost €200 million.

In German residential, €166 million Group share (€244 million at 100%) was sold, at an average premium of +11% on appraised values, with in particular: the creation of a joint venture in Berlin with CDC Investissement Immobilier, in line with end-2023 values, contributing €93 million Group share to the disposal program; and continued unit sales, for €58 million Group share (€89 million at 100%), at an average premium of +40% to end-2023 appraised values.

In hotels, disposal agreements totalled €239 million Group share (€606 million at 100%), at an average premium of +4% on appraised values. They mainly concerned properties sold as part of the asset swap with AccorInvest, non-strategic hotels in Germany and Spain, and joint disposals of operating and property companies alongside AccorInvest.

Portfolio growth of +3% at current scope and stabilization like-for-like

The real estate investment market remained muted in the first quarter of 2024 across most asset classes, with the exception of hotels. Since the second quarter, there have been more positive signs. Transactions have increased in the hotel sector, while large transactions have made a comeback in German residential property, and the most sought-after offices are trading at yields of around 4%.

Against this backdrop, Covivio's portfolio grew by +3% at current scope, to €15.6 billion Group share (€23.1 bn at 100%), thanks to the strengthening of its hotel business. On a like-for-like basis, asset values stabilized in the second half, at +0.2%, thus -1.1% for the year as a whole. The second half of the year saw a return to growth in hotel and in residential values in Berlin.

Hotel assets, boosted by revenue growth, rose by +1.5% on a like-for-like basis, both on leased assets (+1.4%) and on hotel operating properties (+1.7%). Growth was particularly strong in hotels in France (+2%) and southern Europe (+4.8% in Italy, +3.4% in Spain), driven by revenue growth and asset management initiatives. The average yield on assets was 6.4% (+50bps year-on-year).

In offices (-0.5% on a like-for-like basis in H2 2024 and -3.1% over the year), values in France rose in the second half (+0.7%, and -0.6% over the year), thanks to the performance of Paris CBD (+3.2%), while Milan was stable (0%, -0.9% over the year). In Germany, values continued to adjust, down -15% over the year, due to a still sluggish investment market. The average yield on office assets rose by +30bps to 5.8%.

Lastly, German residential property values rose by +1% (including +1.1% in the second half). Berlin, which accounts for 57% of the portfolio, outperformed, with an annual increase of +3.6%. The average value of residential properties is €2,465/m², of which €3,125/m² in Berlin and €1,796/m² in North Rhine-Westphalia, and the average yield is up +20bps year-on-year to 4.3%. The portfolio is valued on a block basis. However, 50% of the portfolio, i.e. €2.3 billion, is already divided, particularly in Berlin (71% / €1.9 billion), where the gap between block value and market price for condominium is +49%.

Revenues up +5% at current scope and +6.7% like-for-like

In 2024, revenues amounted to €1,038.4 million and €679.8 million Group share, an annual increase of +5% at current scope. The strengthening of the hotel business and strong operating performance more than offset the impact of divestments. On a like-for-like basis, revenues rose by +6.7%, boosted by indexation (3 pts), higher occupancy rates and rents on relettings and renewals (2.9 pts), as well as variable hotel revenues (0.8 pt).

Hotels: revenues up +23% at current scope and +7.2% like-for-like

Structural growth in the hotel segment continued in 2024, with RevPAR up +4% on average in Europe, driven by price increases (+3%) but also by an improvement in occupancy rates (+0.5 pt). The best performances were achieved in Southern Europe, with Spain posting strong RevPAR growth of +13%. Germany, which had been lagging behind, rebounded to +7%. France ended the year up +2%, with the Olympic Games period more than offsetting the wait-andsee effect of tourists preceding the event. The return of leisure customers has been confirmed since the 4th quarter, with RevPAR growth of +6% in France in December.

This favorable environment enabled Covivio's hotel revenues to grow by +7.2% on a like-for-like basis. This performance is attributable to both fixed rents, up +4.3%, and variable revenues, up +11.9%. At current scope, revenues were up +23%, benefiting since the 2 nd quarter from the increased stake in Covivio Hotels.

Offices: up +8.1% on a like-for-like basis and occupancy rate up +100bps to 95.5%.

In offices, the polarization of the market was confirmed in 2024, with demand still concentrated on central, serviced assets with high energy standards. Prime rents continued to rise, by +12% year-on-year in Paris (to €1,200/m²) and +4% in Milan (to €775/m²).

In this context, Covivio's upmarket positioning (centrality, high environmental performance, premium services) is bearing fruit. In 2024, Covivio let and renewed nearly 176,200 m², up +35% on 2023. The office portfolio is mainly made up of city-center assets (70% of the total, 97.6% occupied), where the reversion captured on relettings and renewals is +12% on average (including +19% on 4,500 m² in the Gobelins building in Paris 5eand +14% in the Percier building in Paris CBD). At the same time, the Group continued to increase the occupancy rate of its portfolio. The core portfolio in the major business hubs (24% of the total) saw its occupancy rate rise by +1.9pt over the year, to 94.9%, thanks in particular to lettings of Urban Garden in Issy-les-Moulineaux (1,800 m²) and So Pop in Paris-Saint-Ouen (6,700 m², now almost 90% let). The non-core portfolio (6% of the total) was also filled, notably by the letting of 7,900 m² at the Xylo building in Fontenay, bringing the occupancy rate to 84.5% (vs. 82.3% at end 2023). Overall, the office occupancy rate improved by +100bps over one year, to 95.5%.

Rents were down -1%, due to asset disposals in 2023 and 2024, but up strongly on a like-for-like basis, by +8.1%, mainly driven by indexation (4 pts), the rebound in occupancy rate (+3.6 pts) and positive reversion (+0.5 pt).

German residential: growth accelerates to +4.3% on a like-for-like basis

The housing shortage continues to grow in Germany. According to the IFO Institute, around 250,000 housing units will be delivered in 2024, an annual decline of -15% and far from the government's target of 400,000 units per year. These figures are likely to remain low again in 2025, given the 215,000 building permits authorized over the year to the end of November 2024 (-21% vs. 2023). This imbalance is all the more pronounced in Berlin, which is reflected in rising rents, according to Immoscout24, of +3% year-on-year for new homes and +6% for existing ones. Prices are also on the rise again, by +5% for new and +2% for existing, at €4,643/m², which is +49% higher than the appraised values of Covivio's assets in the area.

Against this backdrop, like-for-like rental growth accelerated to +4.3% vs. +3.9% in 2023, benefiting from indexation (for 1.8 pt), property modernization programs (for 1.3 pt) and relettings (for 1.2 pt) with high reversion (+24%, of which +36% in Berlin). Occupancy rate remained high at 99.2%.

Overall, the Group's average occupancy rate continues to rise, to 97.2% (vs. 96.7% at end 2023), while the average firm lease term is 6.2 years.

Balance sheet quality further enhanced in 2024

€1.9 billion refinanced in 2024, on favorable terms

In 2024, the Group has secured almost €1.9 billion (at 100%) in financing or refinancing (€1.2 billion Group share), with an average maturity of 7 years.

In May 2024, Covivio Hotels issued €500 million in green bonds, maturing in 2033, with a margin of 148 bps. On the mortgage market, €1 billion of financing was secured, mainly on hotel portfolios in Spain and German residential properties.

The Group's net available liquidity continued to rise to €2.5 bn (vs. €2.4 bn at end 2023). It now covers debt maturities up to June 2027.

Equity strengthened by €536 million over the year

Shareholders' equity was strengthened by €536 million in the first half: €280 million from the reinforcement in Covivio Hotels through an exchange in shares, and €256 million from the option to pay the dividend in shares, subscribed to by 77.5% of the share capital at €38.61/share, reflecting shareholder support

Significantly improved debt indicators

Rated BBB+, stable outlook by S&P, Covivio strengthened the quality of its balance sheet in 2024. The completion of the disposal plan, the payment of the 2023 dividend in shares and the stabilization of asset values enabled the loan-tovalue (LTV) to fall by -190 bps year-on-year, to 38.9%, in line with the Group's policy of an LTV ratio below 40%. The net debt/EBITDA ratio is also evolving favorably, down nearly 1 point to 11.4x (vs. 12.3x at end 2023).

Debt has an average maturity of 4.8 years (stable) and remains strongly protected against rising interest rates: on average, 94% of debt is hedged against changes in interest rates in 2025, and the average maturity of hedging instruments is 5.8 years. The average interest rate on Covivio's debt is 1.71% (vs. 1.50% at the end of 2023) and is expected to remain below 2.5% until the end of 2028.

Growth in recurring net result and proposed dividend up +6%

Recurring net result of €477 million, up +10% year-on-year

Buoyed by strong rental momentum, net revenues rose by +5.6% year-on-year to €686.4 million. At the same time, tight control of operating costs enabled operating income to grow by +7.9% to €571.8 million. The net financing expenses remained almost stable over the year (+0.7% to -€98.1 million), with the reduction in debt offsetting the rise in the average interest rate.

Recurring net income (adjusted EPRA Earnings) rose by 10% year-on-year to €477.4 million, exceeding the €460 million target. Earnings per share came to €4.47, stable due to the increase in the average number of shares

Covivio's net result came to +€68 million (vs -€1,419 million in 2023), with the slight drop in values more than offset by recurring result.

EPRA NTA net asset value of €79.8/share

Continuation net asset value (EPRA NTA) came to €8,896 million, up +5% year-on-year, with the increase in Covivio Hotels' share capital (in exchange for new Covivio shares) more than offsetting the slight decline in asset values on a like-for-like basis. On a per share basis, EPRA NTA was €79.8, down -5%, due to the increase in the number of shares, notably following subscription by 77.5% of shareholders to the payment of the dividend in shares. In the second half, NTA per share nevertheless rose by +2.7%.

Liquidation net asset value (EPRA NDV) stood at €8,686 million (€78.0/share) and replacement net asset value (EPRA NRV) at €9,705 million (€87.1/share).

Proposed dividend of €3.50 per share, up +6%

At the Annual General Meeting on April 17, 2025, Covivio will propose a cash dividend of €3.50 per share, up +6% vs. 2023.

Ex-date will take place on April 30, 2025, for a payment on May 5, 2025.

ESG: further improvement in indicators

Continued increase in certified assets, now at 98.5%

Covivio has continued to increase the rate of certification of its properties: the proportion benefiting from HQE, BREEAM, LEED or equivalent certification, in operation and/or under construction, now stands at 98.5% (+3.2 points vs. 2023).

In addition, the proportion of office buildings benefiting from the highest levels of certification (Very Good and above) stands at 71.2%, up +4.0 pt compared with the end of 2023.

This policy improving the environmental performance of property assets actively contributes to the Group's ESG ambitions, in particular that of reducing its greenhouse gas emissions by 40% between 2010 and 2030 (across all scopes 1, 2 and 3 and the entire asset lifecycle: materials, construction, restructuring and operation).

Increase in the proportion of debt linked to ESG criteria

A pioneer in the issuance of green bonds since 2016, Covivio has continued to increase the weight of its green debt (associated with ESG objectives) to 64% at the end of 2024 (compared with 57% at the end of 2023 and 38% at the end of 2022), and 100% of Covivio's bond debt is composed of green bonds.

Covivio once again awarded by its German residential tenants

On the German residential market, Covivio was awarded the title of "Fairest landlord" in 2025 for the 7 th consecutive year, receiving a "Very Good" rating, the highest possible. Conducted by the German business magazine Focus-Money, the study evaluates Germany's leading landlords on the basis of 32 criteria divided into 6 categories (ethics, tenant support, tenant service, rental costs, design of housing and surroundings, sustainability).

L'Atelier wins SIMI and ULI Europe Awards

L'Atelier, Covivio's new European headquarters in Paris' 8th district, was awarded the Europe Awards for Excellence by the Urban Land Institute (ULI) on October 16, from a shortlist of 8 projects. The award, which was presented at the C Change Summit, the real estate industry's meeting place for tackling the challenges of climate transition, recognizes the best practices and most outstanding projects in urban development.

At SIMI 2024, Covivio also received two awards for its emblematic projects: L'Atelier, winner in the "Restructured office building" category, and Grands Boulevards, located in the 9 th district of Paris, which won a special "Heritage and Renaissance" prize. These two awards recognize the Group's vision, expertise and ability to design unique, serviceoriented, high-performance projects.

2025 outlook

Over the last few years, and in particular in 2024, Covivio has extensively transformed its portfolio by reinforcing its centrality and quality, but also by adding a strong operated real estate dimension, a source of additional income and value creation. At the same time, after two years focused on financial discipline, the Group's balance sheet has been strengthened. Covivio has thus emerged stronger from the real estate crisis, as the investment market is starting to recover and the rental market is well oriented, for central offices as well as hotels and residential properties.

Covivio intends to continue its growth momentum in 2025, with the following priorities:

  • (i) Continuing to rebalance its portfolio between its three asset classes
  • (ii) Extracting growth potential from existing assets
  • (iii) Deploying its integrated real estate operated offer across all asset classes

With a portfolio that has proven its attractiveness to users and a solid financial structure, the Group intends to pursue the qualitative rotation of its portfolio towards more hotels. In this context, Covivio Hotels will propose3 a scrip option for its 2024 dividend, to which Covivio, 52.5% shareholder, intends to subscribe. This investment, corresponding to €117m for Covivio, will enable the Group to pursue the strengthening of its hotel exposure.

2025 will also mark the integration of the operating companies acquired from AccorInvest and the launch of the associated asset management initiatives. After signing new management contracts (direct management via the Group's WiZiU management platform, or with third-party operators Accor, Sohoma or Atypio), calls for tender are underway to select the brands and concepts best suited to each hotel. The expected return on investment is in excess of 20%.

In offices, the Group intends to continue meeting users' aspirations through its pipeline of committed projects, deliveries of which will accelerate until 2027. With 85% of projects located in city centers, including emblematic projects such as Corso Italia in Milan, Monceau in Paris and Alexanderplatz (a mixed-use project) in Berlin, this pipeline is expected to generate €66 million in additional revenues.

At the same time, Covivio is working on the launch of two office-to-hotel conversions in eastern Paris (11th and 13th districts): Voltaire (10,400 m²), located near Place de la République, and Bobillot (3,400 m²), in the Butte-aux-Cailles district. The total budget for these projects (including land) is close to €150 million, with a yield of around 6%.

3 Proposal to be submitted to Covivio Hotels' General Meeting on 15th April 2025

Finally, in German residential, Covivio will continue to extract growth potential (i) from rents, with an average reversion of over 30% (including over 45% in Berlin), and (ii) from values, through continued privatizations. In Berlin in particular, the gap between appraised values (€3,125/m²) and market values (€4,643/m²) has now reached +49%.

2025 Guidance: growth in recurring net result

The qualitative repositioning of the portfolio in recent years has enabled Covivio to post solid rental prospects which, as in 2024, should more than offset the full-year impact on earnings of the 2024 debt reduction. Covivio is therefore targeting 2025 recurring net result (adjusted EPRA Earnings) of around €495 million, an increase of around +4%.

Group share revenues, up +4.9% at current scope, stand at €679.8 million vs. €648.0 million in FY 2023, due to:

  • The reinforcement of the stake in Covivio Hotels (+€22.9 million);
  • The +6.7% increase on like-for-like basis, split between:
    • o Offices: +8.1% like-for-like, driven by indexation and letting activity;
    • o Hotels: a sustained like-for-like revenue increased by +7.2%, due to the continued rebound in variable revenues (EBITDA + variable leases) of +11.9% and a +4.3% like-for-like growth for fixed lease properties; o German Residential: a robust and accelerated growth of +4.3% like-for-like.
  • Reduction in office exposure through disposals (-€19.5 million);
  • Deliveries of new assets (+€2.6million), in Greater Paris and Milan;
  • Vacated assets for redevelopment (-€9.4 million), mostly in Paris, Western Crescent and first ring for conversion into residential or hotel.

1LfL: Like-for-Like

The portfolio increased by +3.2% at current scope, to reach €15.6 billion Group share (€23.1 billion at 100%). This is mostly explained by the reinforcement in hotels, offsetting the impact of disposals in offices.

On a like-for-like basis, the portfolio value changed by -1.1% mostly due to:

  • Overall in offices, asset values were down -3.1% on a like-for-like basis but almost stable over the H2: 0.5% (+0.3% on core city center portfolio). Substantial disparities were linked to centrality and geography. France is up by +0.7% over the H2 and Italy is stable while Germany values (14% of office portfolio values) continued to adjust (-5.9% over 2024).
  • Germany Residential values increased on a like-for-like basis in 2024: +1.0% A stronger performance was achieved in Berlin (57% of German residential portfolio), at +3.6% like-for-like. Average value per m² for residential part of the portfolio is €2,585m², of which €3,125/m² in Berlin. Assets are valued at their block value. 50% of the portfolio worth €2.3 billion, is already divided into condominiums, particularly in Berlin (71%; €1.9 billion), where the unit sale value is 49% above the block value.
  • In Hotels, portfolio values increased slightly (+1.5%), both on fixed leases: +1.4% and operating properties: +1.7%. Accelerating over the H2 + 1.0% after the +0.5% increase of the H1 2024.

Over the year, the portfolio transformation was achieved with an increase of the certification rates, from 95.3% to 98.5%.

A. OFFICES: 51% OF COVIVIO'S PORTFOLIO

Covivio has implemented an overall offices strategy based on centrality, operated real estate, and sustainability. This strategy has been executed by increasing investments on best-in-class assets in central locations, improving the quality of the existing portfolio and exiting from non-core areas.

Today, quality has become a much more important driver of future growth for Covivio, which owns offices with high levels of centrality and accessibility, A-quality buildings, and top-level service offering. These offices buildings are located in France (27% of Covivio's portfolio), Italy (16%), and Germany (7%) totaling €9.4 billion (€7.9 billion Group share) as of end December 2024.

This offices strategy is bearing fruit, as illustrated by the increase in occupancy rate in 2024, by +100bps to 95.5%.

Covivio's portfolio is split as follows:

  • Core assets in city centers (70% of Covivio's office portfolio, +11pts vs. 2020): located in city centers of major European cities (Paris/Levallois/Neuilly, Milan, Berlin, Düsseldorf, Hamburg, and French major regional cities), with high occupancy (97.6%) and 4.6 years WALB.
  • Core assets in major business hubs (24%): includes assets in well-connected business hubs (Greater Paris, Periphery of German cities), with high occupancy (94.9%) and long WALB (5.4 years), mostly let to long-term partners such as Thalès and Dassault Systèmes.
  • Non-Core assets (6%): gathers secondary offices assets outside city centers for which the occupancy rate (84.5%) and the WALB (3.6 years) are lower, with a disposal or conversion into residential strategy.

1. European office market: confirmed polarization, positive signals for investments

1.1. French offices: confirmed polarization, yield compression for prime in H2

Take-up in Greater Paris office market reached 1,750,400 m² in 2024, down -11% year-on-year. At the same time, customer demand continues to polarize, as the preference for best places continues to increase, but also for the best located assets at the right price:

  • Paris inner city outperformed, with take-up down -9% year-on-year to 822,700m²,
  • Paris inner city counted for 47% of the total take-up in Greater Paris (vs. 42% on average over the last 5 years),
  • La Défense also proved to be better oriented in 2024, with take-up up by +60% yoy to 211,200m², and +14% above last 10-year average.

The immediate offer increased by +19% over the last six months to 5.46million m² and the vacancy rate now stands at 10.2% according to BNP Real Estate, up by +150bps year-on-year, but with strong disparities: below 3% in Paris CBD and close to 14% in the first ring and La Défense.

Scarcity of the best assets in city centers continues to impact positively prime rents, reaching all-time levels in Paris at €1,200/m²/year (+12% yoy). Incentives in Greater Paris increased slightly to 26.3% in 2024, up +90bps vs. end-2023, with maintained disparities across sub-markets, from 14.3% in Paris Center West to 39.3% in La Défense.

Office investments in France totaled €4.9 billion in 2024, down –27% YoY (of which -28% in Greater Paris at €3.3bn). Q4 showed better signs and prime yields even started to decline according to BNP Real Estate, at 4.0% in Paris CBD, -25bps vs H1 2024.

1.2. Milan offices: still dynamic letting market and better investment market

Milan office market recorded a total take-up of 372,000 m² in 2024, -11% year-on-year, with CBD highly demanded (+44% at 138,000m²). Demand is still focused on buildings in prime locations, offering good level of services, as demonstrated by the level of grade A/A+ properties, which count for 71% of the total take-up in Milan.

The average vacancy rate in Milan was down -100bps in 2024, bringing it down to +10.1%, of which -80bps at 5.1% in CBD (where most of Covivio's portfolio is located).

The intense demand for high-quality spaces, combined with the scarcity of grade A assets, contributed to a new increase of prime rents in Milan, at €775/m²/year (+3% year-on-year), according to DILS.

With a total amount of €786 million invested in 2024, the Milan office investment market increased by +8% compared to last year. Prime yields stabilized, at 4.25% according to Cushman & Wakefield.

1.3. Germany offices: +5% in take-up, prime rents up +5% yoy on average

2024 take-up in top six German office markets increased by +5% year-on-year to 2,342,400 m² (but still 17% below 5 year average), boosted by Münich (+34%), Cologne (+9%) and Berlin (+5%).

Vacancy rates reached 6.5% on average, up +90 bps over one year. Hamburg (4.4%) and Cologne (4.0%) recorded among the lowest vacancy rates, followed by Munich at 6.0% and Berlin (6.5%), while in Düsseldorf and Frankfurt, vacancy levels remained higher, respectively at 7.7% and 11.1%.

Prime rents grew on average by +5% vs. 2023, with varying performances: strong growth in Munich (+9%), +4% in Frankfurt and Hamburg.

According to Savills, investment volumes in German Offices increased by +10% YoY in 2024 to €5.3 billion. Prime yields stabilized since end-2023, at 4.4% on average for the top 6 cities in Germany, stable year-on-year.

2. Accounted revenues: +8.1% on a Like-for-like basis

1 LfL: Like-for-Like

Compared to last year, rental income decreased by -€3.2 million, mainly due to:

  • Strong Like-for-like rental growth (+€23 million) of +8.1%, mostly driven by the impact of indexation (+4.0pts contribution) and increase in occupancy rate,
  • Disposals (-€19.5 million) realized in 2023 (-€9.9 million) and in 2024 (-€9.5 million),
  • Impact of vacated assets to be converted into hotel or residential (-€9.4 million) partially offset by deliveries of new assets (+€2.6 million).

4. Indexation

Fixed-indexed leases are indexed to benchmark indices (ILC and ICC in France and the consumer price index for foreign assets):

  • For current leases in France, 93% of rental income is indexed to ILAT, 5% to ICC and 2% to ILC.
  • In Italy, the indexation of rental income is usually calculated by applying the increase in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) on each anniversary of the signing of the agreement.
  • Rents are indexed on the German consumer price index for 42% of leases, 10% have a fixed uplift and 32% have an indexation clause (if CPI goes above an annual increase between 5% and 10%). The remainder (16%) is not indexed and mainly let to public administration.

1 LfL : Like-for-Like || 2Yield excluding assets under development

The -3.1% change in Like-for-Like (-0.5% in H2) value is driven by several effects:

  • Strong resilience of France (-0.6%) and Italy (-1.1%) assets, especially in city centers with values increase in Paris / Neuilly / Levallois by +1.7%, while some further limited adjustments were needed outside city centers.
  • -15% value decline in Germany, in line with a more muted investment market in 2024.

The average yield increased by +30bps to 5.8%.

8. Assets partially owned

Partially owned assets are the following:

  • CB 21 Tower (75% owned) in La Défense.

B. GERMAN RESIDENTIAL: 29% OF COVIVIO PORTFOLIO

Covivio operates in the German residential segment through its 61.7% held subsidiary Covivio Immobilien. The figures presented are expressed as 100% and as Covivio Group share.

Covivio owns around ~41,000 units in Berlin, Hamburg, Dresden, Leipzig, and North Rhine-Westphalia, representing €7.2 billion (€4.6 billion Group share) of assets.

Covivio is mostly exposed to A-cities in Germany, with a 100% exposure to metropolitan areas above 1 million inhabitants and 90% in cities above 500,000 inhabitants. Covivio targets the high-end of the housing market.

Exposure to Berlin, where housing shortage is the highest in Germany, represents 57% at end-December 2024. Covivio's portfolio in Berlin is of high quality, with 68% of buildings built before 1950 and over 71% is already divided into condominiums.

1. Continued rise in markets rents and rebounding investment market

  • In Germany, the demand for housing continued to rise since the start of the year, in a context of increasing number of inhabitants (population in Germany reached a record high level of 85.4 million inhabitants according to Destatis), while building permits (215 000 units over one year at end-November 2024) remained far from the Government target (> 400 000 units / year).
  • This shortage continues to support rents in Germany and especially in Berlin. According to Immoscout24, in 2024, average asking rents for existing buildings were by +1.8% to €8.57/m²/month in Germany and by +6.4% to €14.1/m²/month in Berlin. For new buildings, rents were up up by +7.8% year-on-year in Germany to €12.6/m²/month and by +3.4% in Berlin to €20.1/m².
  • After several low quarters for the German residential investment market (for multi-family buildings above 30 units), volumes rebounded since Q2 2024, bringing total volumes up by +109% to €10.7 billion in 2024 according to BNP Real Estate. The private market also shows signs of stronger appetite since the beginning of 2024, as shown by private real estate loans recorded by the Bundesbank, up +23% year-on-year to €198 billion in 2024.
  • Average asking prices were also trending upwards in 2024. According to Immoscout24, prices for existing buildings increased by +2% in 2024 in Berlin to €4,643/m², still well above the current valuation of Covivio's residential portfolio (€3,125/m² in Berlin). The average price/m² for new buildings also increased to €6,575/m² in 2024 (+4.7% over one year).

In 2024, Covivio's activities were marked by:

  • Continued high rental growth: +4.3% on a like-for-life basis, now well above inflation;
  • Creation of a joint-venture on a €274 million Berlin portfolio, through a partnership with CDC Investissement Immobilier;
  • Stability in values: +1.0% on a 12-months like-for-like basis, of which +3.6% in Berlin.

1 LfL: Like-for-Like || 2 Other commercial: Ground-floor retail, car parks, etc

Rental income amounted to €190 million Group share in FY 2024, up +2.9% (+€5.4 million) thanks to:

  • In Berlin, like-for-like rental growth is +4.9% (+€ 4.5 million), driven by the indexation (+2.3 pts) and relettings (+1.9 pts) with high uplift (+36% in FY 2024).
  • Outside Berlin, like-for-like rental growth was strong in all areas (+3.7% on average, +€3.3 million) due to the reletting impact (including modernizations) and the indexation.
  • These effects were partly offset by disposals closed in 2024 (-€1.0 million).

3. Annualized rents: €195.5 million Group share

1Other commercial: Ground-floor retail, car parks, etc || 2 North Rhine-Westphalia

Rental income (€9.1/m²/month on average) offers solid growth potential through reversion vs. our achieved reletting rents in all our markets including Berlin (45%), Hamburg (15%-20%), Dresden and Leipzig (10%-15%) and in North Rhine-Westphalia (15%-20%).

4. Indexation

Rental income from residential property in Germany changes depending on multiple mechanisms.

4.1. Rents for re-leased properties:

In principle, rents may be increased freely, provided the property is not financed through governmental subsidies.

As an exception to the unrestricted rent setting principle, cities like Berlin, Hamburg, Cologne, Düsseldorf, Dresden and Leipzig have introduced rent caps (Mietpreisbremse) for re-leased properties. In these cities, rents for re-leased properties cannot exceed the public rent reference (Mietspiegel) by more than 10%, except in the following conditions:

  • If the property has been modernised in the past three years, the rent for the re-let property may exceed the +10% limit by a maximum of 8% of the costs to modernise it.
  • In the event the property is completely modernised (work amounting to more than one-third of new construction costs excl. Maintenance), the rent may be increased freely.
  • If the rent received from the previous tenant is higher than the +10% limit, then the previous rent will be the limit in the case of re-letting.

Properties built after 1 October 2014 are not included in the rent cap.

4.2. For current leases:

For residential tenants, the rent can generally be adjusted based on the local comparative rent (Mietspiegel), which is usually determined based on the rent index. In addition to this adjustment method, an index-linked or graduated rent agreement can also be concluded. A successive combination of adjustment methods can also be contractually agreed (e.g. graduated rent for the first 5 years of the contract, followed by adjustment to the local comparative rent).

Adjustment to the local comparative rent: The current rent can be increased by 15% to 20% within three years, depending on the region, without exceeding the local comparative rent (Mietspiegel). This type of contract represents c. 90% of our rental income.

4.3. For current leases with work carried out:

If works have been carried out, rents may be increased by up to 8% of the cost of work excl. maintenance, in addition to the possible increase according to the rent index. This increase is subject to three conditions:

  • The works aim to save energy, increase the utility value, or improve the living conditions in the long run.
  • The rent increase takes effect 3 months after the declaration of rent increase.
  • The rent may not be increased by more than €3/m² for work to modernise the property within a six-year period (€2/m² if the initial rent is below €7/m²).

5. Occupancy rate: a high level of 99.2%

(%) 2023 2024
Berlin 98.6% 98.7%
Dresden & Leipzig 99.8% 99.7%
Hamburg 100.0% 100.0%
North Rhine-Westphalia 99.6% 99.7%
Total 99.1% 99.2%

The occupancy rate stands at 99.2% It has remained above 98% since the end of 2015 and reflects the Group's very high-quality portfolio and low rental risk.

On average, modernization projects, which totalled €77 million in FY 2024 (€49 million in Group share), have an immediate yield around 5%, going up to 10% post relettings.

The bulk of investments in Hamburg relate to 3 settlement areas (22 buildings, 242 apartments, 10% of units in the city) that have undergone energy-efficiency renovations.

C. HOTELS: 20% OF COVIVIO'S PORTFOLIO

Covivio Hotels, a 52.5%-owned subsidiary of Covivio as of 31 December 2024 (vs. 43.9% at end-2023), is a listed property investment company (SIIC) and leading hotel real-estate player in Europe. It invests both in hotels under lease (fixed or variable) and in hotel operating companies (owning OpCos and PropCos).

The figures presented are expressed at 100% and in Covivio Group share (GS).

Covivio owns a high-quality hotel portfolio (283 hotels / 39,477 rooms) worth €6.4 billion (€3.1 billion in Group share), focused on major European cities and let to or operated by major hotel operators such as Accor, B&B, Mariott, IHG, NH Hotels, etc. This portfolio offers geographic and tenant diversification (across 12 European countries) as well as several asset management opportunities via different investment methods (hotel lease and hotel operating properties).

The reinforcement of Covivio in Covivio Hotels is effective from end-March 2024 in the P&L.

The asset swap with AccorInvest is effective from 1 December 2024, so the hotels for which Operating companies were bought (and gathered with property companies already owned) generated rents for 11 months and EBITDA for 1 month.

Assets partially owned by Covivio Hotels include mostly:

  • 91 B&B assets in France, including 89 held at 50.2% and 2 held at 31.2%
  • 22 AccorInvest assets in France (21 assets) and Belgium (1 asset), between 31.2% and 33.3% owned.

1. Hotels market: continued growth

European hotels performance was robust again in 2024. The average RevPAR (revenue Per Available Room) in Europe shows an average increase of +4% year-on-year in 2024, as the market continues its positive momentum, supported by the rise average prices but also in occupancy.

  • Southern European countries are showing very strong performances, particularly Spain up by +13%.
  • Germany is continuing to catch up with a RevPAR growth of +7% over the year.
  • In France, RevPAR growth is more modest at +2%, impacted by travel delays during the pre-Olympic period.
  • On the investment side, volumes displayed one of the highest growths for a single asset class in Europe, reaching €19.5 billion 2024, +34% vs. 2023, according to CBRE. France, Spain, and the United Kingdom account for the majority of transactions (63%).

1LfL: Like-for-Like

Hotel revenues increased by +7.2% like-for-like (+€8.4 million Group share) compared to 2023, due to:

  • Lease properties:
    • Variable leases (22.2% of hotels revenue), up +31.2% on a like-for-like basis, mostly linked with the steep increase of variable rents in the south of Europe
    • Fixed leases (53.4% of hotels revenue), up +4.3% like-for-like, mostly through positive indexation.
  • Operating properties (24.7% of hotels revenue): mainly located in Germany and in the north of France. The +4.9% like-for-like increase in EBITDA is mostly explained by improved performances in Germany (+6.7%).

At current scope, revenue increased by +21.6% to €170 million, mostly linked with the reinforcement in Covivio Hotels (+€18m), on top of like-for-like growth.

3. Annualized revenue

At the end of December 2024, Covivio owned a unique hotel portfolio (283 hotels / 39,477 rooms) of €3.1 billion Group share (€6.4 billion at 100%) across Europe. This strategic portfolio is characterised by:

  • High-quality locations: average Booking.com location grade of 8.9/10 and 90% of the portfolio located in major European tourists' destinations.
  • Diversified portfolio: in terms of geography (12 countries), and segment (32% upscale, 42% midscale and 26% economy.
  • Major hotel operators with long-term leases: 17 hotel operators with an average lease duration of 11.0 years.

The portfolio value increase by +1.5% like-for-like:

  • On a like-for-like basis, the hotel portfolio increased by +1.5% over the year. This variation is mainly explained by the stabilization of capitalization rates and continued revenue growth, driven by the strong performance of variable revenue hotels and the indexation of fixed rents.
  • Positive changes were thus reflected both for leased assets (+1.4%) and operating properties (+1.7%). Growth particularly dealt with Southern Europe (+4.8% in Italy and +3.4% in Spain), and France (+2.2%), boosted by revenue growth and asset management works.
  • The hotel portfolio has an average yield excluding duties of 6.4% (+50bps year-on-year).

Offices rents: stable revenues, driven by indexation, letting activity and renewals that offsets the disposals of assets.

German Residential: continued rental growth driven by mainly indexation, modernisation works and relocations.

Hotels in Europe: strong organic growth driven by variable rents increase and increase in ownership in Covivio Hotels and acquisition of operating companies.

EBITDA from hotel operating activity: increase due to recovery in Germany, strong performance in Nice and the full year offect of the Zoku Paris opened in H1 2023. The growth in hotels is reinforced by the increase in ownership in Covivio Hotels and the acquisition of operating companies.

Income from other activities: Note that this item includes the income of development projects, EBITDA from flex offices and the income of car parks. The activity flex office increases mainly in Milan. In the property development projects, there were the delivery of 4 projects in France and a gradual recovery in Germany. The decrease is mostly due to a lower number of ongoing projects.

Note that this item includes the amortisation linked to the right of use according to IFRS 16. This amortization of right of use is mainly related to owner-occupied buildings. Following the acquisition of additional operating hotels in November, the impact of amortisation is -€2.9 million.

€-277.3 million Change in the fair value of assets:

The income statement recognises changes in the fair value (-€277.3 million) of assets based on appraisals carried out on the portfolio. This line item does not include the change in fair value of assets recognised at amortised cost under IFRS but is taken into account in the EPRA NAV calculation (hotel operating properties, flex-office assets and other own occupied buildings). For more details on changes in the portfolio by activity, see section 1 of this document.

Income from asset disposals & disposals of securities:

Income from asset and share deals disposals contributed +€3.1 million during the period.

Cost of net financial debt:

The cost of net financial debt decreases due to the reduction in the average net debt and increase in financial income (effects of cash investments following the 2023 year-end bond issuance Covivio and Covivio Hotels in May 2024) minored by the increase 20 bps in the rate. Note that the average rate of the debt increased from 1.50% on December 31, 2023, to 1.71% on December 31, 2024

Interest charges linked to finance lease liability:

The Group rents some land under long term leasehold. According to IFRS 16, such rental costs are stated as interest charges. The slight increase refers to the hotel activity linked to the reinforcement in Covivio Hotels and the evolution of the GBP exchange rate.

Value adjustment on derivatives:

The fair value of financial instruments (hedging instruments) is impacted by changes in interest rates. The P&L impact is a charge of -€69.2 million. The decrease in interest rates compared to the end of 2023 coupled with the time effect explain the decline in the fair value of hedging instruments.

This year, long-term rates are slightly reduced (10-year swap) by 10 bps after fluctuating between 2.5% and 2.8% during the period. Short-term rates decreased (-120 bps for the 3- month Euribor) following the ECB's rate cuts since the beginning of June.

The year 2024 shows a significant improvement in financial performance compared to 2023 (+€68.1 million net income compared with a -€1,418.8 million in FY 2023). The change in fair value (-€330.5 million compared with a -€2,437.3 million in FY 2023) and the income from asset disposals (+€10.9 million compared with a -€37.9 million in FY 2023) reflecting the beginning of a stabilisation of the real estate market. Changes in interest rates impacts the fair value of financial instruments (-€95.2 million compared with a -€207.7 in FY 2023) played a key role in this improvement.

3.5. Simplified consolidated balance sheet (Group share)

Investment properties, Properties under development and Other fixed assets

The portfolio (including assets held for sale) by operating segment is as follows:

(In € million, Group share) 31 Dec. 2023 31 Dec. 2024 var.
France Offices 3 932 3 951 20
Italy Offices 2 403 2 403 1

Hotels 2 530 3 010 480
Others 3 2 -1
Total Fixed Assets 14 823 15 105 282

The decrease in Offices (-€106 million) was mainly due to the disposals (-€156 million) and the change in fair value (-€257 million) partly offset by (+€288 million) of CAPEX.

The decrease in German Residential (-€91 million) was mainly due to CAPEX (+€107 million) offset by disposals (-€24 million), the change in fair value (-€46 million), and the impact of the partnership with CDC taking a 49% stake in a Berlin portfolio of Covivio Berlin Prime (-€94 million).

The increase in the Hotels portfolio (+€480 million) was mainly driven by the reinforcement in Covivio Hotels (+€470 million). In addition, a restructuring operation with AccorInvest involved the acquisition of business assets in exchange of hotel properties. The Group also completed the acquisition of a 4-star hotel in the Canary Islands (+€43 million). This increase in portfolio value is also attributed to an increase in fair value (+€25 million), foreign currency exchange gains (+€19 million) and Capex (+€31 million). These gains were partially offset by disposals (- €196 million), share deal disposal in Spain (-€33 million), and the amortization of operating properties and other tangible assets (-€26 million).

Assets held for sale (included in the total fixed assets above), €238.4 million at the end of December 2024

Assets held for sale consist of assets for which a preliminary sales agreement has been signed. It mainly refers to Italian office assets at year-end 2024.

Total Group shareholders' equity

Shareholders' equity increased from €7,957 million at the end of 2023 to €8,228 million at the end of December 2024, i.e. +€271 million, mainly due to:

  • o The net Income for the period: +€68 million,
  • o The dividend distribution: -€330.8 million, partially subscribed at 77.5% in shares (+€256 million),
  • o The acquisition of 8.7% of Covivio Hotels' capital in exchange for new Covivio shares (+€280 million),
  • o The currency translation differences (+€8 million) and the effect of treasury shares (-€3 million).

Net deferred tax liabilities

Deferred tax liabilities amount €643 million at the end of December compared to €650 million in 2023. Deferred tax assets represent €60 million at the end of December, compared to €57 million in 2023. The decrease in deferred taxes on the balance sheet by €9 million is mainly due to the change in appraisal values in Office Germany.

4. FINANCIAL RESOURCES

Summary of the financial activity

Covivio is rated BBB+ with a stable outlook by S&P, confirmed on May 7th, 2024.

Covivio's Loan-to-Value (LTV) ratio was reduced to 38.9% (LTV policy < 40%), thanks to active portfolio rotation and despite value adjustments. Average rate of debt is at 1.71%, thanks to a highly hedged debt. Maturity of debt remained stable at 4.8 years.

The net available liquidity position increased to €2.5 billion on a Group share basis at end-2024, including €1.7 billion of undrawn credit lines and €0.8 billion of cash and overdraft minor by €0.1 billion of Commercial Paper. This strong liquidity position enables to cover debt expiries until June 2027.

4.2. Debt by type

Covivio's net debt stands at €6.8 billion in Group share at end-2024 (€9.4 billion on a consolidated basis), down by -€0.1 billion compared to end-2023. This decrease is despite the increased exposure to Covivio Hotels and the consolidation, on a Group share basis, of a higher part of Covivio Hotels' debt.

As regards commitments attributable to the Group, the share of corporate debt (bonds and loans) grows up to 62% on a Group share basis, at end-2024. Additionally, Covivio had €0.1 billion in commercial paper outstanding on December 31st 2024.

4.3. Debt maturity

The average maturity of Covivio's debt stands at 4.8 years at end-2024.

Debt maturity by type (in € million, Group Share)

4.4. Hedging profile

In 2024, debt was hedged at 94% on average, and 83% on average by 2029, all of which with maturities equivalent to, or exceeding the debt maturity.

The average term of the hedges is 5.8 years Group share.

4.5. Debt ratios

Financial structure

Excluding debts raised without recourse to the Group's property companies, the debts of Covivio and its subsidiaries generally include bank covenants (ICR and LTV) applying to the borrower's consolidated financial statements. If these covenants are breached, early debt repayment may be triggered. These covenants are established on a Group share basis for Covivio and Covivio Hotels.

  • The most restrictive consolidated LTV covenants amounted, on December 31st 2024, to 60% for Covivio and Covivio Hotels.
  • The most restrictive ICR consolidated covenants applicable to the REITs, on December 31st 2024, are of 200% for Covivio and Covivio Hotels.

With respect to Covivio Immobilien (German Residential), for which almost all of the debt raised is "non-recourse" debt, portfolio financings do not contain LTV or ICR consolidated financial covenants.

Lastly, with respect to Covivio, some corporate credit facilities are subject to the following ratios:

Ratio Covenant 31 Dec. 2024
LTV 60.0% 42.0%
ICR 2.0 6.0
Secured debt ratio 25.0% 4.1%

1 Excluding duties and sales agreements

All covenants were fully complied with at end-December 2024. No loan has an accelerated payment clause contingent on Covivio's rating.

EPRA Vacancy Rate = Estimated Market Rental Value (ERV) of vacant space divided by ERV of the whole portfolio.

(1) excl. EBITDA from operating properties

The vacancy rate (2.8%) is including secured areas for which lease will start soon, while the EPRA vacancy rate (3.7%) is spot, on December 31st 2024. The ERV does not include the reversionary potential in all our markets, especially in German residential, with +30% reversion on average (45% in Berlin, 20-25% in Hamburg, 10-20% in Dresden & Leipzig, 20% in NRW).

Average metric rents are computed on total surfaces, including land banks and vacancy on development projects.

Valuations are carried out in accordance with the Code of conduct applicable to SIICs and the Charter of property valuation expertise, the recommendations of the COB/CNCC working group chaired by Mr Barthès de Ruyter and the international plan in accordance with the standards of the International Valuation Standards Council (IVSC) and those of the Red Book of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS).

The real estate portfolio held directly by the Group was valued on 31 December 2024 by independent real estate experts such as Cushman, REAG, CBRE, HVS, JLL, BNPP Real Estate, MKG and CFE. This did not include:

  • assets on which the sale has been agreed, which are valued at their agreed sale price;
  • assets owned for less than 75 days, for which the acquisition value is deemed to be the market value.

Assets were estimated at values excluding and/or including duties, and rents at market value. Estimates were made

using the comparative method, the rent capitalisation method and the discounted future cash flow method.

Other assets and liabilities were valued using the principles of the IFRS standards on consolidated financial statements. The application of fair value essentially concerns the valuation of debt coverages.

For companies co-owned with other investors, only the Group share was considered.

Fair value assessment of operating properties:

In accordance with IFRS, operating properties are valued at historical cost. In order to take into account the appraisal value, a €240 million value adjustment net of deferred taxes was recognised in EPRA NRV, NDV, NTA related to:

  • co-working and operating hotel properties for €232 million
  • own-occupied buildings for €6 million
  • car parks for €2 million

Fair value adjustment for fixed-rate debts

The Group has taken out fixed-rate loans (secured bond and private placement). In accordance with EPRA principles, EPRA NDV was adjusted for the fair value of fixed-rate debt. The impact is +€218 million at 31 December 2024.

Recalculation of the base cost excluding duties of certain assets

When a company, rather than the asset that it holds, can be sold, transfer duties are re-calculated based on the company's net asset values (NAV). The difference between these re-calculated duties and the transfer duties already deducted from the value had an impact of €37 million on December 31st 2024.

Goodwill and intangible assets

Goodwill, corresponding to operating hotels companies acquired for €169 million group share, has not been deducted. In fact, the price paid to acquire those operating companies takes part of the asset value as a whole, as determined by the external appraiser. The Group has not paid additional price to acquire those companies. The goodwill disclosed in the balance sheet is, so, constituent of the fair value of buildings disclosed in the line operating properties in the balance sheet.

Deferred tax liabilities

The EPRA NTA assumes that entities buy and sell assets, thereby crystallising certain levels of unavoidable deferred tax.

For this purpose, the Group uses the following method:

  • Offices: takes into account 50% of deferred tax, mainly in Italy, considering the regular asset rotation policy,
  • Hotels: takes into account deferred tax on the non-core part of the portfolio, expected to be sold within the next few years,
  • Residential: includes the deferred tax linked to the building classified as Assets available held for sale, considering the low level of asset rotation in this activity.

7. GLOSSARY

Net asset value per share: NRV, NTA and NDV

NRV (Net Reinstatement Value) per share, NTA (Net Tangible Assets) per share and NDV (Net Disposal Value) per share are calculated pursuant to the EPRA recommendations, based on the shares outstanding as at yearend (excluding treasury shares) and adjusted for the effect of dilution.

Operating assets

Properties leased or available for rent and actively marketed.

Rental activity

Rental activity includes mention of the total surface areas and the annualized rental income for renewed leases, vacated premises and new lettings during the period under review.

For renewed leases and new lettings, the figures provided take into account all contracts signed in the period so as to reflect the transactions completed, even if the start of the leases is subsequent to the period.

Lettings relating to assets under development (becoming effective at the delivery of the project) are identified under the heading "Pre-lets".

Cost of development projects

This indicator is calculated including interest costs. It includes the costs of the property and costs of construction. It does not include the cost on vacancy & rent free period.

Definition of the acronyms and abbreviations used:

CBD: Central Business District CCI: Construction Cost Index CPI: Consumer Price Index ED: Excluding Duties GS: Group share ID: Including Duties IDF: Paris region (Île-de-France) ILAT: French office rental index LFL: Like-for-Like MRC: Major regional cities, i.e. Lyon, Bordeaux, Lille, Aix-Marseille, Montpellier, Nantes and Toulouse MRV: Market Rental Value (ó ERV : Estimated Rental Value) NRW: North Rhine Westphalia RevPAR: Revenue per Available Room RRI: Rental Reference Index Rdt: Yield

Firm residual term of leases

Average outstanding period remaining of a lease calculated from the date a tenant first takes up an exit option.

Certified assets

Certified buildings are those where the building and/or its operating status are certified as HQE, BREEAM, LEED, DGNB or appropriate sector-specific labels on operation.

EU Taxonomy

The Green Taxonomy (or only Taxonomy) refers to the EU Regulation that has been adopted in 2021 and which aims at classifying economic activities to identify those which are environmentally sustainable. For the real estate sector, it has defined what building can be considered as green (The European green taxonomy - Covivio).

Unpaid rent (%)

Unpaid rent corresponds to the net difference between charges, reversals and irrecoverable loss of income divided by rent invoiced. These appear directly in the income statement under net cost of irrecoverable income.

Loan To Value (LTV)

The LTV calculation is detailed in Part 4 "Financial Resources".

LTV EPRA is available in the dedicated EPRA reporting, Part 5.

Rental income

Recorded rent corresponds to gross rental income accounted for over the year by considering deferment of any relief granted to tenants, in accordance with IFRS standards.

The like-for-like rental income posted allows comparisons to be made between rental income from one year to the next, before taking changes to the portfolio (e.g. acquisitions, disposals, building works and development deliveries) into account. This indicator is based on assets in operation, i.e. properties leased or available for rent and actively marketed.

Annualized "topped-up" rental income corresponds to the gross amount of guaranteed rent for the full year based on existing assets at the period end, excluding any relief.

Portfolio

The portfolio presented includes investment properties, properties under development, as well as operating properties and properties in inventory for each of the entities, stated at their fair value.

SHON: Gross surface // SUB: Gross used surface

Occupancy rate

The occupancy rate corresponds to the spot financial occupancy rate at the end of the period and is calculated using the following formula:

1 - Loss of rental income through vacancies (calculated at MRV)

rental income of occupied assets + loss of rental income

This indicator is calculated solely for properties on which asset management work has been done and therefore does not include assets available under pre-leasing agreements. Occupancy rate are calculated using annualized data solely on the strategic activities portfolio. Future leases secured on vacant spaces are accounted for as occupied.

The "Occupancy rate" indicator includes all portfolio assets except assets under development.

Like-for-like change in rent

This indicator compares rents recognised from one financial year to another without accounting for changes in scope: acquisitions, disposals, developments including the vacating and delivery of properties. The change is calculated using rental income under IFRS for strategic activities.

This change is restated for certain severance pay and income associated with the Italian real estate (IMU) tax.

Given specificities and common practices in German residential, the Lile-for-Like change is computed based on the rent in €/m² spot N versus N-1 (without vacancy impact) on the basis of accounted rents.

For operating hotels (owned by FDMM), like-for-like change is calculated on an EBITDA basis

Restatement done:

  • o Deconsolidation of acquisitions and disposals realised on the N and N-1 periods
  • o Restatements of assets under works, ie:
    • Restatement of released assets for work (realised on N and N-1 years)
    • Restatement of deliveries of assets under works (realised on N and N-1 years).
