Strengthening partnerships: strong visibility of rental income

The year 2012 was marked by many real estate accomplishments. In fact, our model as real estate partner for Key Accounts was strengthened over the year 2012 with:

  • the arrival of two new partners: Citroën and Vinci
  • o Citroën: acquisition in early July of the historic headquarters of Citroën (Paris 17th) for €61m not including duties, comprising 16,700 sqm of offices and 4,300 sqm of showrooms (firm 6-year lease)
  • o Vinci: €25m acquisition, not including duties, of a 6,700 sqm asset in the first-ring suburbs (firm 12-year lease) and turnkey launching of 11,100 sqm in Nanterre (Nanterre Respiro).
  • the strengthening of the lease partnerships underway, specifically with Société Générale (delivery of a 9,200 sqm property in Fontenay), Thalès (turnkey launching of 45,000 sqm in Vélizy), B&B (acquisition of 158 B&B hotels from ANF) and EDF (lease renewal).

Rental income: + 2.1% like-for-like

This asset management effort has led to sound property indicators: an occupancy rate of 95.5% and a firm residual lease term of 5.5 years ensuring strong visibility for rental income, which grew in 2012 by 2.1% like-for-like despite a difficult economic context.

Continuation of ongoing portfolio adaptation

€900 m in new disposals and agreements since the start of 2012

Continuing its strategy of active asset rotation, Foncière des Régions completed almost €900m in new disposals and agreements since the start of the year, including more than €200m in logistics assets.

On average, these disposals were made in line with the appraisal values at the end of 2011 and based on an average yield of 7.3%. Taking into account carryovers from 2011, the total volume of disposals and agreements reached €1.2bn.

€1.2bn in real estate projects: €411m in projects committed and 81% pre-leased

At the same time, 7 real estate projects were delivered and leased, representing €9m in annual rental income, while 13 projects were launched 81% pre-leased.

These projects for the most part concern property redevelopments and turnkey rental properties (offices, hotels, etc.) and target a yield in excess of 7%. They aid the progressive replenishment of the portfolio.

Sound financial structure: LTV at 45.2% and "Investment Grade" rating

The year 2012 was marked by the obtainment in late September 2012 of an "investment grade" BBBrating / stable outlook from Standard & Poors, the refinancing of our 2012 and 2013 debt maturities with more than €2bn in new loans (including a €500m bond issue), and the achievement of a sound financial structure with an LTV of 45.2% at the end of 2012.

All of these new loans allowed for continuing the strategy of diversifying financing sources and extending debt maturity.

Recurring net income: + 1.3% at €292m

The year's real estate business, along with active management of our loans, allowed for delivering an EPRA Recurring Net Income that grew slightly (+ 1.3%) to €292m in line with the 2012 objective, and despite the pursuit of a decrease in LTV initiated since 2008.

This improvement was the result mainly of positive impacts in the change in rental income like-for-like (+ 2.1%), acquisitions and the decrease in the cost of debt, and despite the impact of disposals.

Per share, EPRA Recurring Net Income amounts to €5.2/share, unchanged compared to 2011 due to the impact of the option for payment in shares subscribed by our shareholders, and in line with the objective of stability for 2012.

Net Income, Group Share amounted to - €27m due to the negative impact of the fair value adjustment of financial instruments and the accounting of ORNANE, after the drop in rates.

EPRA NAV/share: €78.8/share sustained by stable assets value

The value of the consolidated group share of assets is almost unchanged like-for-like over the period (0.3%). The stability of the assets of the "Offices – Key Accounts" business, comprising Offices and the Services Sector, offset a 2.7% decrease in Logistics assets.

Taking into account the share of our exposure to the residential sector, the change like-for-like proves slightly positive (+ 0.1%), for an asset value of €9.3bn.

In addition, the EPRA NAV proved stable over 12 months at €4,518m and €78.8/share taking into account payment of the dividend in new shares issued at €51.2.

Outlook

These good results demonstrate the relevance of the Foncière des Régions model, which is based, on the one hand, on assets of €9.3bn positioned on solid real estate markets and, on the other, on a strategy of partnerships with its major tenants, ensuring it strong visibility in terms of rental income.

Despite an economic environment that remains difficult, and considering its positioning as a real estate partner, along with all the accomplishments of the year 2012, the company is giving itself the objective of stable Recurring Net Income for 2013.

A conference call dedicated to analysts and investors will take place today at 2:30 p.m. (Paris time)

Rents from the "Offices – Key Accounts" segment have increased 2.7% on a like-for-like basis, underpinned by the Offices—France (+ 2.5%), Offices—Italy (+ 4.1%) and Service Sector (+ 0.5%). Rents increased by 2.1% after minority interests, in the light of the 2.1% drop in Logistics.

This advance can be explained by a favourable indexing in 2012 as well as by the continued strong occupancy rate for the entire period exceeding 95%.

Rental income of €502 million after minority interests was registered, up 0.3%, due primarily to:

  • capital expenditure (+ €11.4 million)
  • disposals (- €30.5 million)
  • rent indexation and asset management (+ €7.3 million)
  • a + €13.8 million consolidation scope effect that was primarily related to the increased interest in Business Premises and Logistics

*** Net of leasehold

Foncière des Régions completed €896 million in new disposals and agreements de cessions in 2012. With the exception of the below par rating of Logistics, sales prices are all in line with appraisal values at end of 2011. These disposals mark a progressive reduction of exposure to Logistics (€221 million in assets, i.e. 20% of the Logistics portfolio at the end of 2011). In view of the agreements signed at the end of 2011, the total figure for disposals in 2012 is €861 and contracts signed amount to €321 million, i.e. a total of €1,183 million.

Breakdown by major tenants

The concentration of rental income from large users at Foncière des Régions demonstrates the continued implementation of the strategy. Currently, the top ten tenants account for 78% of our annualised rental income, stable compared to the end of 2011.

The – 5.8% drop between 2011 and 2012 is due to the impact of disposals and sharing of the DS Campus assets, which was partially offset by acquisitions over the year:

  • disposal of loués à France Télécom assets
  • sharing of the DS Campus in 2012, a site occupied by Dassault Systèmes
  • acquisition of the Citroën headquarters building in the 2nd half of 2012 (20,000 sq. m)
  • delivery of the Eiffage Construction building in Vélizy (10,000 sq. m)

*the inner suburbs include Vélizy and Meudon

The geographical breakdown of rental income is in line with that of the recognised rental income, confirming the prevalence of the Île-de-France share, with 69% of annualised rental income. The main changes in rental income per zone are explained by the rental activity since 1 January 2012:

  • a decrease on annualised rental income within Paris (-6.8%) primarily stemming from disposal of France Télécom assets during the period
  • withdrawal for the secondary areas in the regions (-11.5%) and in the outer suburbs (-5.2%) through disposal of non-strategic assets
  • a drop in the inner suburbs (-6.1%), following the sharing agreement with the DS Campus in Vélizy (-€10.4 million) and several unit sales, partially offset by acquisitions over the year.

3. INDEXATION

The indexation effect is +€ 5.4 million over 12 months. 44% of our rental income is indexed to the ICC, 55% to the ILAT and the remainder is indexed to the ILC or the IRL in accordance with our partner-tenants, all the indexing in effect was replaced by indexing on the ILAT, in particular all outstanding France Télécom leases.

* including tacit renewals

Vacancies registered in 2012 involved 42,670 sq. m corresponding to €8.3 million in annualised rental income. These involve primarily the EDF assets in Nîmes (under contract), a building in Puteaux that was formerly leased to Havas (€1.5 million in rental income, yielded in November 2012), an EDF asset in Villers les Nancy (under contract) and vacancies with France Télécom assets under the terms of our agreements.

These vacancies were partially offset by leases in the amount of €6.4 million in annualised rental income involving the lease to Grass Valley of 882 sq. m in the 32 Grenier property in Boulogne, in addition to the renewal to Chloé of 565 sq. m vacated in the Percier building located in the Central Business District of Paris.

These also include deliveries, primarily a turnkey operation for Véolia in Montpellier, a turnkey of 9,400 sq. m for Société Générale in September 2012 in Fontenay and leasing of a part of the space in the Le Divo building (4,000 sq. m) in Metz that was delivered in 2012.

Lastly, lease renewals for 240,279 sq. m of space represent total revenue of €32.9 million. These are the result of pursuing the partnership strategy that keeps our tenants in place. This figure includes the leases ending at the end of 2012 that were not terminated, representing approximately €7.5 million.

Lease expirations: Firm residual lease duration of 6.6 years (5.3 years firm)

The firm residual term of the leases is 6.6 years (5.3 years firm), slightly lower compared to end of 2011 (7.1 years).

The mécanique drop of 12 months of residual term is offset largely by re-letting, the average duration of which is 5.9 years (excluding asset disposals) and extension of an average duration of 7.2 years (excluding renewals).

At the end of 2011, the Offices France segment had €24.9 million in leases expiring in 2012. Following an asset management effort carried out throughout the year, these leases expiring in 2012 were dealt with as follows:

  • €3.7 million concerned assets that were sold
  • €5.7 million concerned assets for which vacancies had been anticipated in 2011 and represent either re-development projects on high potential leasing markets, or sales to developers
  • €15.5 million concerned assets for which the leases were extended, negotiations approaching agreement and renewals.

With less than 30% of its leases having an initial exit option between 2013 and 2015, Foncière des Régions continues to have a highly secured rental base.

In the Ile-de-France region, the inner suburbs still have the highest vacancy rates for Foncière des Régions, at 7.6%, which is in line with the average market vacancy rate but concerns mainly CB 21 Tower, with a surface area of some 17,100 sq. m, which accounts for nearly half of the total vacancies of the Offices France segment, and three properties in Nice, Levallois Perret (Inner suburbs) and Lille.

An initial agreement was formalised at the end of 2012 for the addition to the Dassault Systèmes headquarters in Vélizy, and the current objective is to finalise a lease between now and the end of February 2013.

With regard to the Green Corner (20,500 sq. m) project in Saint Denis, discussions locatives are underway. As the construction permit has been approved the project could get underway as soon as a lease agreement has been formalised for the premises.

The construction permit has been approved for the Lyon Silex 1 building, and work on the plans is continuing with a view to beginning construction at the end of 2013 once the building has been vacated.

On delivery, these projects will enhance the residual duration of leases and the average quality of the portfolio, while contributing to the "greening" of the company's asset base.

11. STRATEGIC ASSET SEGMENTATION

"Core" portfolio

The "core" portfolio is the strategic asset core, consisting of resilient assets seeking sustainable revenue. Mature buildings can be disposed of in timely fashion in managed proportions, freeing up resources that can be reinvested in value-creating operations, either by shoring up our asset base or by new investments.

"Sale-and Leaseback" portfolio

The "sale-and-leaseback" portfolio involves sale-and-leaseback operations with our major partner-tenants. This portfolio provides a pocket yielding higher than the offices portfolio average, with an historically high lease renewal rate. The small size of these individual assets and their liquidity on the local markets make them apt candidates for progressive disposal.

"Under Development" portfolio

The "under development" portfolio consists of assets targeted for specific renovation or rental development actions. These assets are primed to become core assets once the asset management work has been achieved.

Beni Stabili's asset values decreased 1.9% like-for-like in 2012.

The introduction of the IMU tax had a negative - 2.4% impact on the like-for-like figures. This drop was offset by an increase in the occupancy tax and value creation related to capital expenditure projects that were completed.

The value of the Telecom Italia (42% of Beni Stabili assets) portfolio fell by - 0.8 % like-for-like, occurring partly under the impact of increased local taxes and through an indexation that was more favourable than expected (2.4% compared to 2.8% in previous evaluations).

Rental values fell by - 1.5% like-for-like (baisse en grande partie due aux centres commerciaux du sud de l'Italie).

Consolidated rental income excluding minority interests amounted to €182.5 million in 2012, a 10.4% drop compared to 31 December 2011. This is primarily due to:

  • the impact of the sales made in 2011 and 2012 (- €26 million)
  • The decrease in Accor hotels turnover of 1.5% like-for-like, which was partially offset by the increase in indexation of fixed hotel income (- €0.4 million).

These negative effects were partially offset by the impact of the B&B hotels acquisition (+ €3.3 million) and the effect of rent indexing (+ €1.7 million) on the fixed-rent portfolios.

4. LEASE EXPIRATIONS AND VACANCIES

The residual term of the leases was 7.3 years as at the end of 2012, compared with 8 years at the end of 2011.

The vacancy rate for this portfolio remained at zero at the end of 2012.

5. UNPAID RENT

The portfolio had no bad debts during 2012, just as in 2011.

6. DISPOSALS AND DISPOSAL AGREEMENTS: €269 million

The asset value of Foncière des Murs amounted to €3,039 million as at the end of 2012, up on a like-for-like basis by 1.8% on the year. The increase in asset values is primarily due to the indexing of fixed-rent assets, and to a decrease in capitalisation rates, which is consistent with the disposals made and the sale commitments signed.

Like-for-like change: 1.8%

A like-for-like increase of 1.1% compared with 31 December 2011 was recorded in the hotel sector. The healthcare sector gained 2.3% over 12 months, under the effect of the 2.3% increase in rental income linked to indexation for the period. The like-for-like increase of + 3.6% in the retail sector was due to the combined effect of indexation and an increase in yields, which was consistent with the yields on disposals and sale commitments made for this asset class in 2012.

In May 2012, Foncière des Régions exchanged avec CARDIF, Foncière Développement Logement securities for Foncière Europe Logistique securities on the basis of Triple Net NAV parity . Its stake in Foncière Développement Logements was thus decreased to 33.6% from 31.6% and its ownership of Foncière Europe Logistique rose to 89.2%. Foncière des Régions acquired the General Electric stake in Foncière Europe Logistique (9.7%) in the second half of 2012, then proceeded with a buyout-squeeze out operation on 20 September 2012. Subsequent to the buyout-squeeze out process, its stake in Foncière Europe Logistique has increased to 100% compared to 81.7% at the end of 2011.

Following the capital increase performed by its subsidiary, Foncière des Régions significantly increased its interest in Foncière des Murs, raising its stake to 28.3% at 31 December 2012, compared with 26.0% at 31 December 2011.

Foncière des Régions signed the share agreement for the DS Campus with Credit Agricole Assurances on 19 October 2012. The company now owning the asset is consolidated using the equity method beginning on that date.

Rental income

Rental income increased by 0.3% to €502 million (vs. €500 million) on a Group share basis, due mainly to the Company increasing its interest in Foncière Europe Logistique, and to the impact of the office asset acquisitions made in 2011 over the full year.

The impact on the year of rental income from Carré Suffren (+ €2.7 million), the headquarters of Degrémont (Rueil Malmaison),Issy Grenelle (+ €3 million), the headquarters of Eiffage Construction in Vélizy (+ €2.9 million) and the acquisition of the Citroën headquarters in Paris in July 2012 (+ €1.1 million) all offset the effect of the sales of the Offices France business.

The increased stake in Foncière Europe Logistique in 2012 had a + €12.9 million impact on rental income in terms of Group share for the financial year. Rental income from the Business Premises business fell by €1.3 million, despite the increase in the interest held in Foncière des Murs, due to the impact of the substantial sales plans made in 2011 and 2012.

Beni Stabili's rental income increased by €4.3 million on a Group share basis, due mainly to the commissioning of assets, and especially the "Galeria del Corso" asset, during 2011.

On a consolidated basis, rental income was down 3.2% (- €24.8 million):

  • France Offices: €6.2 million (- 2.2%)
  • Business premises: €18.9 million (- 9.3%)
  • Logistics and Business Parks €8.2 million (- 9.6%)

Net operating costs

Net operating costs amounted to €36.0 million after minority interests at the end of 2012 (€49.5 million on a consolidated basis) compared to €38.0 million at the end of 2011 (€54.4 million on a consolidated basis), down by 5%.

The drop in net operating costs is primarily due to lower structural costs, résultat de la politique de maîtrise des coûts. Decreased by 11% (on a Group share basis), ces frais de structures reflecting our cost control policy, consisted mainly of payroll expenses, advisors' fees, the Statutory Auditors' fees, and the cost of premises, communications, and IT.

Income from other activities

Income from other activities concerns primarily the car park business, i.e. parking lots that are either company owned or concessions. Income from this business dropped slightly in 2012 due to the sale of two car parks during the first half of 2012. Income from other activities amounted to €11.3 million at the end of 2012 (after minority interests) compared to €12 million at the end of 2011.

Depreciation and provisions

Depreciation and provisions for the period consist largely of depreciation on operating properties and car parks.

Change in the fair value of assets

The income statement shows changes in asset values based on appraisals of the asset portfolio. For 2012, the change in the fair value of investment assets was a negative €39.4 million after minority interests (- €33.1 million consolidated), compared to + €66.8 million after minority interests at the end of 2011 (+ €102.4 million on a fully consolidated basis).

In this way, income from ordinary operations (after minority interests) was €353.7 million versus €522.7 million in 2011.

Financial aggregates

Financial expenses amounted to €185.8 million on a Group share basis (compared with €191.9 million in 2011), and to €292.4 million on a consolidated basis (compared with €312.1 million in 2011). Capitalised interest regarding assets under development amounts €11.7 million for 2012. Others current and non current debts include liabilities financial instruments (€745m and €479m in group share) and the deffered tax coming from the non-SIIC and foreign company (€140m and €88m in group share).

The change in the fair value of financial instruments was - €231.9 million after minority interests (- €284.8 million consolidated), versus - €52.8 million after minority interests (- €117.8 million consolidated) as at en of 2011. This occurred subsequent to a new decline in long-term rates between the two periods and to the adjustment to fair value of Ornane between 2011 and 2012 (€118.3 million).

The real estate portfolio held directly by the Group was fully appraised at end of 2012 by appraisers that are members of AFREXIM, including DTZ Eurexi, CBRE, JLL and BNP Paribas Real Estate based on a common set of specifications prepared by Foncière des Régions in line with industry practices.

Assets are estimated at their value excluding and/or including duties, while rental income is estimated at market value. The estimates are performed based on the comparison method, the rental income capitalisation method, and the discounted cash flow method.

The parking facilities were valued by capitalising the gross operating surplus generated by the business.

Other assets and liabilities were valued based on the IFRS values of the consolidated financial statements. The application of fair value primarily relates to the valuation of hedging instruments on the debt and Ornane. The level of exit tax is known and incorporated into the financial statements for all the companies that have opted for the fiscal transparency system.

For companies shared with other investors, only the Group's portion has been included.

Principal adjustments made:

Fair value adjustments for buildings and goodwill

Pursuant to IFRS standards, properties in operation, in development (except those governed by revised IAS 40) and in inventory are valued at the historical cost. An adjustment to value in order to take into account the appraisal value is made in the NAV for a total amount of €15.8 million.

Since goodwill is not valued in the consolidated financial statements, a restatement is made to NAV to recognise its fair value (as calculated by the appraisers) for a total of €9.5 million at end of 2012.

Fair value adjustment for car parks

Parking facilities are valued at historical cost in the consolidated financial statements. A restatement is made in the NAV in order to take into account the appraisal value of these assets and the effect of the farm-outs and subsidies received in advance. The impact on NAV at end of 2012 represents €27.7 million.

Recalculation of the base for certain assets (excluding duties)

When the Company, rather than the assets it holds, can be sold off, transfer duties are recalculated based on the Company's net asset value. The difference between the recalculated transfer duties and the transfer duties already deducted from the value of the assets led to a €20.2 million restatement at end of 2012.

Fair value adjustment to fixed-rate liabilities

The Group has contracted fixed-rate loans,. In accordance with the principles published by the EPRA, the triple net NAV was adjusted for the fair value of the fixed-rate debt, which amounted to - €58.9 million as at end of 2012.

In May and June 2012, Foncière des Régions subscribed to two loans through its Technical subsidiary amounting to €275 million and €145 million respectively, with respective terms of seven and five years from the date on which they were made available. These loans were intended for the early refinancing of existing debt (which had been set to mature on 13/01/2013). The loans were effectively paid off in July 2012. A €m 275 loan has been issued by Allianz and Société Générale. The €m 145 loan is with Aareal Bank.

o €425 million in new corporate loans raised by Foncière des Régions

Between June and July 2012, Foncière des Régions signed four new corporate loans (with no guarantees attached) on the same terms as the loans raised in 2011, for a total amount of €375 million and with average terms of 4 years. At the end of the second half an additional €50 million loan agreement was signed, extending over 5.3 years.

o Inaugural bond issue in the amount of €500 million

Foncière des Régions put out a €500 million bond issue to French and European investors with a maturity of January 2018 and a fixed interest rate of 3.875%. The issue was carried out after obtaining a BBB- /Stable rating from Standard & Poor on 28 September 2012. This initial bond issue was a vehicle for continuing along the path of financing diversification sources and extending debt maturity over time.

  • Foncière des Murs: €178 million on GS (€740 million on a consolidated basis)
  • o €228 million refinancing of Foncière des Murs' debt maturing in 2013

Foncière des Murs has repaid all of its debt maturing in 2013, which related to the Accor 2 (hotels in France and Belgium) and Courtepaille portfolios, in advance, by subscribing to two new 5-year loans amounting to €163.3 million and €64.9 million respectively.

o New mortgage financing in the amount of €257 million

As part of the acquisition of the 158-hotel B&B portfolio, Foncière des Murs negotiated a €222 million financing agreement extending over 5 years. The company also took on another €35 million in mortgage financing for this project.

o Secured €255 million bond issue

Foncière des Murs put out a €255 million bond issue secured by hotel assets leased to Accor Group with a 7 year maturity and paying an interest rate of 3.682%.

Beni Stabili: €345 million on GS (€695 million on a consolidated basis)

Beni Stabili negotiated/renegotiated loans for a total amount of €695, as follows:

  • o €308 million in the Intesa et Prada portfolio assets let, maturing in 2015
  • o €150 million in a real estate portfolio maturing in 2017 to institutional investors
  • o Extension of a financing agreement for €163 million over 3 years, due in 2015

After the year's end, Beni Stabili also carried out a convertible bond issue for €175 million over five years at an annual interest rate of 3.375% in January 2013.

Repayment of €1 billion of loans in October 2012

Foncière des Régions repaid secured loans undertaken in 2006 and 2007 in the amount of €1.8 billion and a residual amount of €1 billion.

  • €482 million in loans secured by office property assets and by FDL securities, representing 26.7% of equity, and FDM securities, for 15.05% of equity, with an initial maturity of October 2013.
  • €134 million in financing secured by EDF assets, with an initial maturity in August 2013
  • €309 million of in loans secured by logistics and French business assets, with a maturity of April 2014.
  • €78 million in financing secured by French and German logistics assets, with an initial maturity date of November 2014

Thanks to these changes in the Foncière des Régions debt structure, ratio secured dbet to portfolio (owned at 100%) is below 20%.

4. HEDGING PROFILE

In 2012, our hedge management policy remained unchanged with all debts hedged, i.e. 100% of debt covered, at least 75% of which was in short-term hedges and overall maturity exceeding the debt maturity.

On the basis of net debt as at end onf 2012, Foncière des Régions is covered in terms of Group share, up to 87% in short term hedges, compared to 91% at the end of 2011. The average term of the hedges is 4.9 years for both Group share and consolidated debt.

5. AVERAGE INTEREST RATE ON THE DEBT AND SENSITIVITY

The average rate of Foncière des Régions bank debt was 4.04% for the Group share, compared to 4.2% in 2011. This decrease in rates is primarily due to end-of-2011 and second half 2012 hedge restructuring, implemented to take advantage of lower Euribor interest rates of 0.76% on the average for 2012, to the full year impact of the 3.34% ORNANE issue and to the new bond issues of 3.875% and 3.682%.

For information purposes, a 50 bps drop in the 3-month Euribor rate would have a positive impact of €1.2 million on 2012 recurring net income. In the event of a 50 bps rise in interest rates, there would be a negative impact of €3.8 million.

B. FINANCIAL STRUCTURE

Except for debt that has been raised with no recourse against the Group's property companies, Foncière des Régions' debt and that of its subsidiaries usually include bank covenants (based on ICR and LTV) on the consolidated financial statements. In case of breach of covenants, loans might become due before maturity. Covenants are set at group share level for Foncière des Régions and at a consolidated level for Foncière des Régions subsidiaries.

As at end of 2012, the most restrictive consolidated LTV covenants amounted to 60% for Foncière des Régions' and Foncière des Murs overall funding, and to 65% for Foncière Europe Logistique's funding. Only 40% of Beni Stabili financing is subject to an LTV covenant applicable to Beni Stabili's scope of consolidation, of which the most restrictive rate is 60%.

The consolidated ICR covenant threshold varies from one real estate company to another, primarily in terms of the type of asset held, and may vary from one loan to another for the same real estate company, depending on the precedence of the loans. Only 33% of Beni Stabili's financing is subject to an ICR covenant for the scope of consolidation. The most restrictive covenants applicable are the following:

  • for Foncière des Régions: 200%
  • for Foncière des Murs: 200%
  • for Beni Stabili: 140%

These LTV and ICR covenants were largely met at the end of 2012.

With regard to Foncière des Régions, consolidated ratios as at end of 2012 were 47.2% for Group share LTV and 259% for the Group share ICR ratio, compared to 49.3% and 248% respectively as at end of 2011.

New covenants under the framework of corporate loans subscribed by Foncière des Régions were added to the LTV and ICR consolidated covenants for the Group share portion of Foncière des Régions. There are two types:

  • o Primarily, there is "Secured Debt on Total Portfolio" covenant, with a ceiling of 30%, which assesses the ratio of mortgage debt — or secured debt of any type —on a fully consolidated basis.
  • o On a secondary level, there is an Unsecured Debt to Unencumbered Assets covenant for the same consolidation scope for which the ceiling is set at 50%, or an LTV Real Estate covenant with a 65% and 65% ceiling, which measures the ratio between Foncière des Régions consolidated debt and that of its 100% subsidiaries to total asset value.

These covenants were also met at end of 2012.

No loan is subject to a redemption clause contingent upon Foncière des Régions ratings.
