(1) LfL: Like-for-Like.

Rental income increased by 2.8% over one year in Group Share, including +3.3% for the strategic activities. This €8.0 million increase is due primarily to the following factors:

  • w acquisitions (+€19.0 million) particularly consisting of hotels (+€7.7 million), with the acquisition of a portfolio of 17 assets in Spain, and Germany residential assets (+€6.6 million) mainly in Berlin
  • w deliveries of new assets (+€2.6 million), mainly in France Offices, including Silex 1 in Lyon
  • w rent increases of 1.9% (+€4.3 million) on a like-for-like scope with:
  • w +0.9% in France Offices, thanks to the indexation factor (0.3 pt.) and good rental performance (0.6 pt.)

  • w +1.5% in Italy Offices, thanks to an improvement in the occupancy rate

  • w +4.0% in Germany Residential, including 1.3 pt. due to the indexation factor and 2.7 pts. due to renewals
  • w the recovery of hotel activities with 4.3% growth in variable AccorHotels rents
  • w releases of assets intended to be restructured or redeveloped (-€3.2 million)
  • w asset disposals (-€18.8 million), particularly hotels (-€8.9 million) with the sale of low-performance AccorHotels assets in secondary locations in 2016
  • w an increase in Hotel real estate income due to the increase in the ownership stake in Foncière des Murs in 2016 (+€4.2 million).

Restatement of San Nicolao, under disposal agreement.

The percentage of firm lease terms under 4 years remained stable compared to 2016, at 30% of annualised rental income, giving the Group excellent visibility over its cash flows, which are thus secure on the medium term.

Of the €45 million of rents maturing in 2018, more than a third concerns assets that will be redeveloped at medium-term (mainly four assets In Paris, including two buildings leased to Orange).

1.1.2.2. Occupancy rate: 96.6%

Occupancy rate

Germany Residential 98.2% 98.4%
Hotels in Europe 100.0% 100.0%
TOTAL 96.7% 96.6%

The occupancy rate has remained relatively stable, above 96% since 2013. The slight drop in Italy is due to the sale of part of the Telecom Italia portfolio in the first half of 2017. Proforma of this disposal, the occupancy rate in Italy Offices rose to 95.7%.

In 2017, Foncière des Régions continued its strategy of diversifying its tenant base. Its exposure to its 3 leading tenants thus continued to drop (22% versus 26% at end-2016 and 41% at end-2014).

Moreover, the Group's partnership strategy was extended to new players, particularly in the hotel segment with the main Spanish operators (Barcelo Melia, Hotusa, and NH). In France, development projects made it possible to build new partnerships, as confirmed by the construction of EDO in Issy-les-Moulineaux, chosen by the Transdev group for its headquarters.

The Group's most significant exposure consists of the portfolio of assets leased to Orange with major value-creation levers through their locations in Paris (around €1 billion of assets in central Paris, i.e. 2/3 of the portfolio).

1.1.3.2. Geographic breakdown

In the first half of 2017, the Group continued to concentrate its activities on European capitals and major cities, with the aim of continuously improving the quality of its portfolio. Nearly 60% of the Group's rental income thus comes from Greater Paris, Berlin and Milan.

The cost to revenue ratio (7.9%) remained under control despite a slight year-on-year rise.

In Germany Residential, the cost to revenue ratio had been dropping for several years, now standing at 9.3% (versus 11.3% at 30 June 2016) thanks to a stronger position in Berlin and cost optimisation.

The cost to revenue ratio is low in France Offices and Hotels in Europe, as the Group essentially signs triple net leases.

In Italy, the cost to revenue ratio dropped to 15.8% (vs. 17.0% at 30 June 2016), reflecting the recent improvement in the vacancy rate.

1.1.5. Disposals totalling €505 million Group Share

(1) Including disposals on Operating properties.

Since the beginning of the year, disposals totalling €248 million (€505 million Group Share) have been realized, including the sharing of 40% of the Telecom Italia portfolio, equivalent to €323 million Group Share of disposals, at appraisal value.

Moreover, during the first half-year, Foncière des Régions completed new disposals and signed new disposal agreements for a total of €456 million, mainly involving:

w non-strategic assets in France Offices, mainly small Orange buildings in Regions and an asset in Chevilly-Larue (€101 million) and two Euromed assets (€46 million), under final negotiations,

w a mature core asset in Milan, via San Nicolao (€60 million)

  • w Retail assets including 17 Quick restaurants (€16 million)
  • w Close to 2750 residential units in North Rhine-Westphalia (€116 million)
  • w the signing of a sales agreement for three Logistics assets (€34 million).

The new disposals were signed with a substantial margin over the most recent appraisal values (6.8% in the first half of 2017).

With €614 million Group Share of acquisitions realized across all of its asset classes, including 55% secured in 2016, Foncière des Régions pushed ahead with its asset acquisition strategy in its strategic markets, in particular Germany Residential and Hotels, with:

  • w acquisitions of several German residential portfolios in Berlin, Dresden and Leipzig for €241 million Group Share at attractive prices (€1,860/m2 on average, with a 35% reversion potential)
  • w the acquisition of a portfolio of 17 hotels comprising 3,335 rooms in Spain, mainly located in Madrid and Barcelona, for €280 million Group Share, with a potential yield of 6.3%

w the acquisition of an office portfolio in Italy from the Credito Valltelinese group, mainly located in Milan CBD, for a total of €62 million Group Share, including acquisitions of €52 million completed in the first half of 2017 with a high yield of 6.0%.

1.1.7. Development projects: €4.1 billion (€3.2 billion Group Share)

Foncière des Régions increased its development pipeline to €4.1 billion (€3.2 billion Group Share), after having doubled it in 2016. With the launch of the Germany Residential pipeline representing projects totalling €400 million, including €11 million in launches during the first semester, the Group now has the capacity to develop its assets in all of its markets.

At present, 29 projects are under way in three European countries and will be completed between 2017 and 2020. At the same time, new managed projects totalling 500,000 m2 of offices and 1,900 residential units will feed the Group's growth by 2020 and beyond. The Group set a value creation objective of over 20% on the committed pipeline.

1.1.7.1. Four projects delivered in the first half of 2017 in France Offices

The growth in rental income in the first half of 2017 was driven by the real estate strategy focused on the development pipeline. Some 33,000 m2 of office premises were delivered in France, with an average occupancy rate of 86%. They mainly consist of:

w Silex 1 in the business district of La Part-Dieu in Lyon, 100% let

w Thaïs in Levallois, in a district highly sought after by major corporations as an alternative to Paris CBD, 66% let.

Advanced negotiations are under way for the leasing of the rest of the premises.

The main evolution in the half-year was the launch of €11 million of projects (€7 million Group Share) in German Residential (59 units spread across 4,130 m2 ), for the building of new housing units through the extension of existing assets or the construction of residential buildings in Berlin.

In the hotel segment, the pipeline was reinforced through the launch of a third development project with MEININGER, right in the centre of Lyon.

2017 is set to be a record year for the delivery of real estate assets, with 14 projects representing over 100,000 m2 of office space and 823 hotel rooms for a total investment of over €600 million.

1.2. BUSINESS ANALYSIS BY SEGMENT

The France Offices indicators are presented at 100% and as Group Share (GS).

1.2.1. France Offices

1.2.1.1. Acceleration in growth of rental income on the France Offices market in the first half of 2017(1)

The €6.3 billion (€5.4 billion Group Share) France Offices portfolio of Foncière des Régions is situated in strategic locations in Paris, in the major business districts of the Paris region and in the Major regional cities. The first half-year was marked by sustained rental activity and growth in headline and economic rents on our markets.

  • w The offices market in Greater Paris started the year at a high volume of 1.2 million m2 leased in the first half of 2017, up 4% from a level that was already high in 2016. There was particularly high-demand for surface larger than 5,000 m2 (+18%).
  • w Despite smaller supply, the Paris CBD has remained active in 2017, with 496,000 m2 leased, but it was the alternative areas that most showed increased demand: +50% in the Western Crescent due to the appeal of the major business districts (Issy-Boulogne, Rueil-Nanterre), and +95% in the inner suburbs.
  • w The immediate supply of offices in Greater Paris stabilised at around 3.6 million m2 , i.e. a vacancy rate of 6.5%. On the future offer, of the 1.6 million m2 under construction, 42% is already leased and 45% is inside Paris.
  • w Average headline rent on new/restructured surfaces continued to rise in the Paris CBD (€650/m2 ) and in the Western Crescent (+€380/m2 , +3% vs the first semester 2016). The drop in incentives to 21.5% from 22.0% in 2016 bolstered the increase in market rental income (+4% on new or refurbished space in Paris, La Défense and the Western Crescent on average since 2015).
  • w In Lyon, Foncière des Régions is exposed in the La Part-Dieu business district, the second-largest French office centre, with around 25% of the take-up of the Lyon metropolitan area, including the leasing of 5,400 m2 by Nextdoor at Silex 1. The vacancy rate remains at a historic low there (5,9% in Lyon including around 3% in La Part-Dieu), with a small share of new surface (36%, down from 2016), and a high pre-leasing rate: 60% of the 290,000 m2 under construction within the next three years.
  • w Investment in France Offices remained vibrant, with €5.5 billion invested in the first half of 2017. The compression of prime yield rates continued, particularly in Paris excluding the CBD (3.4%) and in the inner suburbs (4%), and still posts a significant difference with the government borrowing rate (close to 0.8%).

In the first half of 2017, the France Offices segment reported:

  • w the success of the rental strategy for development projects with the delivery of four properties that are 86% let and the pre-leasing of the entire Hélios property in Lille
  • w sustained rental activity, with 160,000 m2 renewed or rented, including the signature of the first co-working leases, a source of value creation and improved profitability
  • w the continuation of the qualitative turnover of the portfolio, with €147 million new commitments to dispose of non-strategic assets (34 assets)
  • w a +2.6% increase in values at a like-for-like scope, reflecting the success of the development projects, rental agreements with key accounts and the continuing strong performance of the Group's core markets.

Assets held partially are the following:

  • w CB 21 Tower (75% owned)
  • w Carré Suffren (60% owned)
  • w the Eiffage properties located at Vélizy (head office of Eiffage Construction and Eiffage Campus, head office of Eiffage Groupe) and the DS Campus (50.1% owned and fully consolidated)
  • w DS Campus extension (50.1% owned and accounted for under the equity method)
  • w the New Vélizy property for Thales (50.1% owned and accounted for under the equity method)
  • w Euromed Center (50% owned and accounted for under the equity method)
  • w Bordeaux Armagnac (34.7% owned and accounted for under the equity method).

Rental income slid by 2.1%, to €123 million Group Share (-€2.7 million). This change is the combined result of:

  • w asset acquisitions and deliveries (+€5.1 million):
  • w +€3.1 million from acquisitions, particularly Vinci's head office in Rueil-Malmaison (+€2.4 million)
  • w deliveries in 2016 and 2017 of assets providing €2.0 million in rental income, with, in 2017:

    • Silex 1 in Lyon in January, 100% let
    • Thaïs in Levallois in April, 66% let to date
  • w an increase at a like-for-like scope of +0.9% (+€1.0 million) related to:

  • w the positive effect of indexation (+0.3 pt.)
  • w strong rental activity in 2016 (+0.6 pt.)
  • w disposals (-€3.2 million), particularly outside Paris and in major regional cities
  • w vacating for development (-€3.2 million)
  • w other effects, including a scope effect (-€2.4 million).

The 11 biggest tenants account for 70% of annualised rental income, versus 72% in 2016 and 80% at 2010 year-end. The main changes affecting Key Accounts were as follows:

  • w Vinci: disposal of an asset in the outer suburbs of Paris
  • w Orange: decreased exposure related to disposals of nonstrategic assets in French Regions
  • w Eiffage: combined effect of the renegotiation of 44 leases (extension of the leases by nearly 5 years) and disposal of 10 assets in the first half of 2017
  • w EDF/ENEDIS: renegotiation of the lease and vacating of premises rented in the Patio building in Lyon.

The delivery of assets in the Group's strategic locations combined with the disposals of non-core assets gave a greater proportion to the major regional cities (+1 point compared to 2016 year-end) and reduced exposure in the outer suburbs of Paris (-1 point) and in other French regions (-1 point).

Greater Paris remains the greatest source of annualised rental income, up slightly since 2016 year-end.

The increase in rental income in the major regional cities stems from the delivery of the Calypso property in Marseille in 2016 and of Silex 1 in Lyon in 2017.

1.2.1.4. Indexation

The indexation effect is +€0.3 million over six months (+0.3%).

  • w 84% of rental income is indexed to the ILAT [French index of tertiary sector rents] (+1.1% over one year in the first quarter of 2017)
  • w 15% is indexed to the ICC [French construction cost index] (+2.2% over one year)
  • w the balance is indexed to the ILC [French commercial rent index] (+1.0% over one year) or the IRL [French rental reference index] (+0.51% over one year).

Rents benefiting from an indexation floor (1%) represent 29% of the annualised rental income and are indexed to the ILAT.

The first half of 2017 included the continuation of activity in Asset Management. Renegotiations and renewals pertained mainly to non-strategic assets outside Paris, making it possible to improve their liquidity by extending the maturity of the leases and to speed up future disposals.

28,400 m2 were leased out during the half-year, amounting to €6.6 million in rental income (Group Share) and applying to:

  • w the launching of the co-working business of Foncière des Régions, with 5,575 m2 let at The Line in the Paris CBD (3,284 m2 ) and Calypso in Marseille (2,291 m2 )
  • w the letting of 5,530 m2 of the Thaïs asset in Levallois through two leases generating €1.7 million in rental income. The property is 66% let and negotiations to lease the balance are at an advanced stage.

Pre-letting continued with around 22,440 m2 and €3.4 million signed in 2017, applying mainly to Hélios, an asset under development located in Lille and let in its entirety to ITCE (nine years firm). Delivery is scheduled for 2018.

43,240 m2 were vacated, equivalent to €5.9 million in rental income, 21,000 m2 of which were in the Eiffage assets committed during the disposal processes.

1.2.1.8. Disposals and disposal agreements: €192 million in new commitments (€147 million Group Share)

New commitments (new disposals and new agreements) for €192 million (€147 million Group Share) apply to non-strategic assets and have helped improve the quality of the portfolio:

w 19 Orange assets in French Regions, equivalent to €55 million

  • w two Euromed assets: Hermione and Floréal totalling €91 million (€46 million Group Share), under final negotiations,
  • w the disposal of the Chevilly Petit Leroy asset for €30 million
  • w the remainder, i.e. €16 million, concerns sales of small assets in French regions other than the Paris region, in Major regional cities and in the outer suburbs of Paris.

Effective disposals for the period totalled €105 million: 35 assets disposed of, including the Chevilly Petit Leroy asset (€30 million), one asset in Avignon (€10 million), one asset in Paris Choisy (€9 million) and 10 assets/volumes to Orange under the partnership agreements (€26 million).

This acquisition was made as part of the memoranda of understanding with Orange and applies to part of the surface of the Gobelins asset in Paris's 5th arrondissement. This transaction helps optimise the value creation potential of this property with a view to a medium-term redevelopment project.

1.2.1.10. Development projects: a pipeline of €2.6 billion (€2.5 billion in Group Share)

In light of high user demand for new surface, Foncière des Régions took on a development pipeline representing 45% of its France offices portfolio in Group Share at end-June 2017. Development projects are one of the growth drivers for profitability and the improvement in the quality of the portfolio, both in terms of location and thanks to the high standards of delivered assets. Users appreciate this quality: since 2011, 92% of surface has been let within 12 months after delivery.

In Greater Paris, Foncière des Régions focuses on strategic locations in established business districts with solid public transport links. In major regional cities (with an annual take-up of more than 50,000 m2), the Group targets prime locations such as the La Part-Dieu district in Lyon. The Group aims to create value of more than 20% on the committed pipeline.

1.2.1.10.1. Projects delivered

Around 33,000 m2 were delivered in the first half of 2017, of which 27,450 m2 were in major regional cities.

For the projects delivered in the first half of 2017, the occupancy rate was 86% in June 2017:

  • w in Lyon, the Silex 1 asset delivered in January 2017 is 100% let
  • w the Hermione property built for the Euromed Center complex in Marseille was delivered in June 2017
  • w in Levallois, the Thaïs asset was delivered in early April 2017 and is 66% let
  • w the O'rigin property in Nancy, which is 91% let, was delivered in June 2017.

Following on the success of the Silex 1 project in Lyon, Foncière des Régions plans to launch the Silex 2 project in the second half of 2017. This project consists of 31,000 m2 of prime offices across from the train station and is central to the La Part-Dieu urban regeneration plan.

The building permit for the Avenue de la Marne project in Montrouge is under review and demolition has begun.

Several turnkey rental projects are under study in the Pompignane business park in Montpellier (Majoria), with launches scheduled between 2017 and 2018, for a total of nearly 60,000 m2 dedicated to offices and services.

Finally, surveys are currently being conducted on some assets in operation, with a view towards medium- and long-term redevelopment, namely, on Omega in Levallois, Gobelins in Paris (5th arrondissement), Anjou in Paris (8th arrondissement), Arago Paris (17th arrondissement), Cap18 in Paris (18th arrondissement) and Rueil Lesseps.

(2) Yield excluding assets under development.

Values jumped by 2.6% at a like-for-like scope; the main drivers of this growth were:

  • w the core portfolio (+3.0%), due particularly to:
  • w the value creation in delivered assets of +23.4% (primarily Silex 1 and Thaïs), i.e. a quarter of the growth at a like-forlike scope
  • w the rate compression and the rental value increase on the Paris markets with 3.4% growth, especially for assets that underwent work to increase value (mainly The Line, Littré and Ménilmontant)

1.2.1.12. Strategic segmentation of the portfolio

  • w The core portfolio is the strategic grouping of key assets, consisting of resilient properties providing long-term income. Mature assets may be disposed of on an opportunistic basis in managed proportions. This frees up resources that can be reinvested in value-creating transactions, such as in developing our portfolio or making new investments
  • w The portfolio of "assets under development" consists of assets for which a "committed" (appraised) development project has been initiated, the land reserve that may be undergoing

w portfolio pipeline: +2.4%, including the rate compression and increase in market rental income from Art&Co at the Gare de Lyon and EDO in the Issy-Val-de-Seine business district.

The yield on the operating portfolio was 5.4%, which was a drop of around 30 bps compared to 2016 year-end, resulting from the improvement in the quality of the portfolio and robust performance in the markets where the Group is exposed.

appraisal, and the assets freed for short/medium term development, i.e. "managed" (undergoing internal valuation). Such assets will become "core assets" once delivered

w Non-core assets form a portfolio compartment with a higher average yield than that of the office portfolio, with smaller, liquid assets in local markets, allowing their possible progressive sale. All assets under preliminary sales agreements are automatically classed in this category.

(1) Yield excluding development.

At the end of the first half of 2017, core assets represented 83% of the portfolio (Group Share), due in large part to four deliveries during the year and a rise in the value of the Paris assets.

The "Pipeline" portfolio shrank by four assets following deliveries during the half-year. It represents 8% of the portfolio (Group Share).

Non-core assets now represent 9% of the portfolio (Group Share) as of the end of June 2017, or -2 points compared to 2016 year-end, due mainly to disposals.

1.2.2. Italy Offices

Listed on the Milan stock exchange since 1999, Beni Stabili is the largest listed Italian property firm and is a 52.2% subsidiary of Foncière des Régions. The figures are expressed as 100% and as Foncière des Régions Group Share. The income statement reflects the average rate of 50.1% for the first half of 2016.

TAKE-UP IN MILAN

1.2.2.1. A Milan market buoyed by strong demand(1)

The strategy of Foncière des Régions in Italy is focused on Milan, where the Group's acquisitions and developments are concentrated. As of the end of June 2017, the Company had a portfolio worth €4.3 billion (€1.9 billion in Group Share). Coming off a robust 2016, the Milan offices market experienced an acceleration during the first half of 2017:

  • w Take-up soared by 29% in Milan, to 202,000 m2 in the first half of 2017, led by new or restructured surface (65% of take-up pertained to so-called Grade A properties). Demand for large surface also rose, particularly in the CBD, where the average size of transactions increased by 30% thanks to several major transactions in the Porta Nuova district.
  • w The vacancy rate was 10.6%, an amount that has been relatively stable since the end of 2016, but the lack of new or restructured supply continued with just 25% availability. In the central areas such as the CBD, the Centre and Semi-Centre, Grade A buildings represent only 4% of the offer.
  • w Prime rental income was up in all segments. It was €530/m2 in the CBD segments and €420/m2 in central Milan. At the same time, rental incentives were stable at 12 months of rent.
  • w The investment continued at a sustained rhythm in Italy with €3.6 billion in the first half 2017 of which 40% in Offices thanks to the attractively of Milan, which represents almost half of these transactions.

The activities of the first half of 2017 were marked by:

  • w the reinforcement of Foncière des Régions in Milan, which represents 62% of the portfolio in Group Share in Italy
  • w the diversification of the tenant base, with the sharing of 40% of the Telecom Italia portfolio representing the equivalent of €323 million Group Share disposal realised at appraisal values
  • w the success of the development pipeline, with 12,100 m2 pre-let during the first half of the year, including 50% of the Via Colonna property, 100% of the Via Cernaia asset and ground-floor retail on the first part of Symbiosis.

After a slight increase in 2016, rental income jumped by 1.5% at a like-for-like scope, totalling €52.7 million in Group Share due to the combined effect of:

  • w acquisitions in Milan (+€1.6 million): the Via Scarsellini and Via Messina assets
  • w asset disposals (-€1.2 million), specifically, the Via Durini asset in Milan
  • w growth at a like-for-like scope of +1.5% (+€0.7 million), led by the performance of offices excluding Telecom Italia (+3.1%):
  • w +€1.2 million of new letting and renewal, particularly in the Messina towers
  • w -€0.5 million due to vacating, mainly on the surface of the Piazza San Fedele that had already been re-let
  • w the increase in the ownership interest of Foncière des Régions in the capital of its subsidiary during 2016 (+€2.1 million).

1.2.3. Germany Residential

Foncière des Régions is present in the German residential sector through its subsidiary Immeo SE, in which it holds a 61.0% stake. The figures presented are divided into 100% and Foncière des Régions Group Share (GS).

1.2.3.1. The Germany residential market is booming(1)

Foncière des Régions owns over 43,250 units, located in Berlin, Hamburg, Dresden, Leipzig and North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW). The asset portfolio represents €4.7 billion (€2.9 billion Group Share). The German residential market has been booming for several years, particularly in Berlin where the Group initiated investments in 2011 and where it currently holds nearly 52% of its residential portfolio.

  • w Germany's macroeconomic indicators are solid, upheld by GDP growth of 1.9% and a record low unemployment rate, down to 3.9% at end-2016. The risk associated with the reinforcement of rent capping measures has diminished following the publication of the CDU's election program, favouring the construction of new housing units.
  • w The housing supply remains limited in Berlin, where the population grew by 50,000 thousand inhabitants per year on average over the past years. The number of building permits for 2017 remains insufficient, at around 7,700 units per year. Consequently, Berlin's Mietspiegel rent index rose by 9.4% between 2015 and 2017, a sharp increase after the 5.4% rise between 2013 and 2015.

w The residential market continues to attract investors with transactions totalling €3.7 billion in the first quarter (+75% compared to 2016) under the impact of the rise in average market prices which, for the first time in Germany, have exceeded €2,000/m2 . One third of the investments were made in Berlin and 10% in Hamburg.

In the first half of 2017, Foncière des Régions' activity was market by:

  • w a 4.0% increase in rental income on a like-for-like scope, after +3.6% in 2016. The portfolio's rent increase potential remains high, particularly in Berlin where it reaches 30%-35% and in Hamburg and in Dresden & Leipzig where it stands around 20%-25%
  • w the launch of the development pipeline, with €400 million in identified projects, of which 4 were launched in the first half of 2017
  • w the continuation of acquisitions in Berlin, Dresden and Leipzig at attractive prices (€241 million Group Share, around €1,860/m2 with a rent increase potential of 35%)
  • w the portfolio continued to increase in value with +7.8% at a like-for-like scope of which +8.9% in Berlin after +12.4% in 2016.

Recognised rental income (Group Share) amounted to €69.9 million in the first half of 2017, up 7.1% under the combined effects of:

  • w 2016 and 2017 acquisitions (+€6.6 million) mainly in Berlin, with a rent increase potential of 35%
  • w disposals (-€4.4 million) in North Rhine-Westphalia
  • w a €2.0 million increase in rental income on a like-for-like scope, i.e. +4.0% (of which +4.8% in Berlin) with:
  • w +1.3 pt due to indexation. The impact of the rise in the Mietspiegel index in Berlin will be visible from the second half-year

BREAKDOWN OF GROWTH IN RENTAL INCOME AT A LIKE-FOR-LIKE SCPOE

In Berlin, re-lettings took place at rent levels exceeding €10/m2 , a sharp rise. Foncière des Régions thus gradually realises the rent increase potential of the numerous acquisitions made over recent years.

The 8.6% increase in annualised rental income reflects the portfolio rotation strategy:

  • w the strategic markets of Berlin, Hamburg, Dresden and Leipzig generate 60% of rental income
  • w the relative weight of North Rhine-Westphalia has been diminishing steadily over recent years, from 68% at end-2014

to 40% in the first half of 2017. The stronger growth in rental income in this area reflects the better quality of the portfolio.

The measured rent level per m2 (€6.5/m2 ) offers solid growth prospects through the rent increase potential (30%-35% in Berlin, 20%-25% in Hamburg and in Dresden & Leipzig).

1.2.3.4. Indexation

The rental income from residential property in Germany changes according to three mechanisms:

w Rents for re-leased properties:

In principle, rents may be increased freely.

As an exception to that unrestricted rent setting principle, certain cities like Berlin and Hamburg have introduced rent caps for re-leased properties.

In these cities, rents for re-leased properties cannot exceed by more than 10% a rent reference. If construction works result in an increase in the value of the property (work amounting to more than 30% of the residence), the rent for re-let property may be increased by a maximum of 11% of the cost of the work. In the event of complete modernisation, the rent may be increased freely.

w For current leases:

The current rent may be increased by 15% to 20% depending on the region, although without exceeding the Mietspiegel or another rent benchmark. This increase may only be applied every three years.

In Berlin, the Mietspiegel was published in May 2017 up 9.4% since 2015, thus raising the cap on rent increase on the current leases.

w For current leases with work done:

In the event that work has been carried out, 11% of refurbishment costs may be passed onto the new rent as indicated in the Mietspiegel. This increase is subject to two conditions:

  • w The work must increase the value of the property
  • w The tenant must be notified of this rent increase within three months.

(1) LfL: Like-for-Like.

On a like-for-like scope, values increased by 7.8% in 6 months, reflecting the success of the Group's investment policy:

  • w +8.9% in Berlin after excellent performance in 2016 (+12.4%) mainly due to the yield compression in highly sought-after locations: 3/4 of the assets in the Berlin portfolio are located in prime districts (18% in Mitte, 11% in Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg, etc.).
  • w Hamburg (+7.5%) and Dresden and Leipzig (+12.0%) also generated strong performance thanks to the rise in rental income (+5.3% and +3.8% respectively) and the yield compression. The 0.7 pt. reduction in the vacancy rate in Hamburg contributed to this growth.

In the first half of 2017, CAPEX totalled €26 million (€15 million Group Share) i.e. €8.7/m2 , more than 60% in modernization, while OPEX amounted to €7 million (€2.4/m2 ). As a reminder, for the whole of 2016, Foncière des Régions invested €56 million in CAPEX, i.e. €19.3/m2 , of which more than 70% in modernization.

1.2.4. Hotels in Europe

Foncière des Murs (FDM), a 50.0%-owned subsidiary of Foncière des Régions (49.9% owned at end-2016), is a listed property investment company (SIIC) specialising in the hotel real estate sector. Through its subsidiary, Foncière des Régions is now the leading player in hotel investment in major Europe cities.

1.2.4.1. Revenue on the upswing and very good outlook for the hotel sector(1)

Foncière des Régions holds hotel assets totalling €5.2 billion (€2.0 billion, Group Share) spread across 4 Western European countries through 18 partner hotel operators. One of the group's main strengths is its great investment flexibility (Lease properties and Operating properties). The European hotel market started to recover at the end of 2016. This turnaround was confirmed and strengthened in the first half of 2017:

  • w In Europe, revenue per available room (RevPAR) increased by an average 6.8% YTD to end of May 2016, boosted by the average room price (up 2.5%) and occupancy rate (up 2.7 pts). This performance was particularly strong in the mid-market segment, in which Foncière des Régions strengthened its position in Spain (+13.1% YTD), Germany (+5.2% YTD) and France (+6.0% YTD).
  • w Overall, investment in the European hotel market dropped 15% compared to the first quarter of 2016 to €4.3 billion, partly due to the elections in France (-84%) in the first half-year. The German market remained in the leading position with record volume of €1.12 billion (+55%). Appetite was also strong in Southern Europe with growth of 24% in Spain and 48% in Italy.

The figures presented are divided into 100%, and Foncière des Régions Group Share (GS). In the first half of 2017, FDM was 50.0% consolidated vs 45.4% in the first half of 2016.

Capitalisation rates remained around 4.5% in Paris and in major German cities. The difference with rates on hotel operating properties holdings remained around 1 pt.

In the first half of 2017, Foncière des Régions' hotel activity was characterised by:

  • w encouraging growth in rental income on a like-for-like scope, driven by hotel sector growth and the rise in the variable rents of AccorHotels assets (+4.3%)
  • w a solid increase in asset values on the hotel portfolio (+2.8% on a like-for-like scope), in particular with the acquisition of the portfolio in Spain (+6.8%), confirming the effectiveness of the Group's investment strategy and asset management
  • w 7% growth in the development pipeline during the half-year, to €280 million (€84 million Group Share) after the doubling of the pipeline in 2016. Ten projects are under way with long-time Group partners (B&B) as well as recent partners (MEININGER, Motel One) in strategic locations (Paris, Lyon, Berlin and Munich).

1.2.4.2. Recognised rental income: +1.9% at a like-for-like scope

Assets not wholly held by FDM consist of the 180 B&B Hotels properties acquired since 2012 (held at 50.2%), as well as the 22 B&B assets in Germany (held at 93.0%) and two Motel One properties (held at 94.0%), acquired in 2015. Foncière des Murs also holds 40.7% of FDM Management, a company focused on hotel operating properties investments and 50.1% of the company Foncière Developpement Tourisme.

At the end of June 2017, consolidated rental income stood at €45.7 million, Group Share, up 1.9% on a like-for-like scope compared to the first half of 2016. This change was partly due to the different movements over the portfolio:

  • w acquisitions and deliveries of assets under development (+€8.3 million):
  • w five B&B hotels totalling 590 rooms delivered in Germany and France in 2016
  • w acquisition of a portfolio of 17 hotels under leases in Spain (of which one third of the leases have a variable component) in 2017
  • w disposal of non-core assets in 2016 (-€8.9 million), including low-performance AccorHotels assets and the Healthcare portfolio
  • w a rise in rental income on a like-for-like scope (+€0.7 million), mainly attributable to the good performance of variable-rent AccorHotels assets: +4.3% of which +5.2% in Belgium and +4.2% in France
  • w the reinforcement of Foncière des Régions in the capital of its subsidiary (+€4.2 million).

For hotel operating properties, EBITDA rose significantly to €6.2 million over the first half of 2017, thanks to the acquisitions made in 2016.

In the first half of 2017, the Group continued to pursue its investment policy focusing on assets in Europe's largest cities. This resulted in a rise in foreign rental income, particularly in Spain (+€14.5 million), mainly in Madrid and Barcelona.

Spain accounts for 20% of the annualised rental income of hotels following the acquisition of 17 hotels at the beginning of the year.

1.2.4.4. Indexation

59% of rents are indexed to benchmark indices (ICC, ILC, and consumer price index for foreign assets). The indexation had little impact in the first half-year given the anniversary dates of the leases, which are mainly concentrated in the second half-year.

29% of rents are indexed to hotel revenues (AccorHotels) while 12% benefit from a revenue performance clause.

After 2.1% value creation in the hotel portfolio in 2016, growth was stepped up to 2.8% due to:

  • w 2.9% growth in the value of hotels under leases, with:
  • w +6.8% on the Spanish portfolio acquired in 2016
  • w +1.9% in France with a return to growth in rental income in the hotel sector and the renegotiation of leases with B&B (lengthening of lease terms to 12 years for 158 hotels in France)
  • w the good performance of hotel operating properties holdings (+2.0%), which further drove up value creation in 2016 (+6%). The portfolio of nine hotels acquired in August 2016 in Germany saw its total value grow by 13% in one year.

The Group pushed ahead with its geographical diversification strategy. Following the acquisition of the Spanish portfolios and NH assets, 17% of the Group's assets are now located in Spain, while 23% are in Germany.

Foncière des Régions' upscaling strategy has given rise to a sharp increase in values per room since 2015 (+48%). In Germany in particular, the value per room more than doubled thanks to the acquisition of high-end hotels such as the Westin and the Park Inn in the centre of Berlin.

In the first half of 2016, discontinued operations were in the Logistics sector. As of 1 January 2017, following the merger of Foncière Europe Logistique with Foncière des Régions, the residual Logistics operations, which are insignificant at Group level (€58 million in assets, mostly under preliminary sale agreement), no longer appear under discontinued operations and have been reclassified with France Offices in the financial statements.

1.3.3.1. 2.5% rise in net rental income – Group Share

Net rental income varies under the combined impact of acquisitions, disposals and deliveries of developments, as well as the effect of indexation in the Germany Residential sector. The Italy Offices sector is also growing thanks to the increased ownership interest (ownership interest for H1 2016: 50.12%, H1 2017: 52.24%).

The net rental income by operating segment is the following:

(€M) – Group Share H1 2016 H1 2017 var. %
France Offices 118.4 114.0 -4.4 -3.7%
Italy Offices 41.1 44.4 3.3 8.0%
Germany Residential 57.9 63.3 5.4 9.3%
Hotels in Europe 41.5 44.8 3.3 8.0%
France Residential 2.9 1.9 -1.0 -34.5%
TOTAL NET RENTAL INCOME 261.9 268.4 6.5 2.5%

France Offices: €4.4 million drop in net rental income – Group Share due to the combined effect of property vacated as a result of developments and others (-€4 million), disposals (-€3.2 million), acquisitions (+€3.1 million), development deliveries (+€2 million), the slight deterioration in unrecovered rental costs following the reinclusion of the residual Logistics operations (-€0.7 million) and the rise in non-refundable taxes on projects under development (-€0.8 million).

Italy Offices: €3.3 million increase in net rental income – Group Share thanks to a €1.9 million increase in the ownership interest, the impact of acquisitions (+€1.6 million) and new leases (+€1.2 million). The components of this increase are negatively affected by the impact of disposals (-€0.7 million).

Germany Residential: net rental income – Group Share increased by €5.4 million, driven by acquisitions (+€7 million), further boosted by the impact of indexation (+€2 million) and decreased by disposals (-€4.5 million).

Hotels in Europe: €3.3 million increase in net rental income – Group Share. This net rise is made up of increased income from the hotel sector (+€9 million) mainly as a result of acquisitions over the first half of 2017 in Spain (+€7 million), which were partly offset by a decrease as a result of the disposal of the AccorHotels assets (-€5 million), and a deterioration in unrecovered rental costs of -€0.9 million following acquisitions in Spain (double net leases).

1.3.3.2. Net cost of operations

Net cost of operations were €31.1 million compared with €32.8 million at 30 June 2016, an improvement of €1.7 million. This improvement is mainly due to the impact in the first half of 2016 of expenses which were not repeated in the first half of 2017 (compensation, expenses relating to discontinued projects, etc.).

1.3.3.3. Income from other activities

Net income from other activities (€3.3 million) mainly came from real estate promotion activities and the income generated by car park companies. Due to the major disengagement at the end of 2016, the income from car parks (excluding depreciation and provisions) fell from €1.6 million to €0.8 million. Real estate promotion generated net income of €2.4 million over the fiscal year.

1.3.3.4. Depreciation of operating assets

Depreciation of operating assets was composed of the real estate depreciation of the headquarter buildings and depreciation of other tangible and intangible fixed assets. This item decreased, mainly due to disposals of car park operations.

1.3.3.5. Change in the fair value of assets

The income statement recognises changes in the fair value of assets based on appraisals conducted on the portfolio. For the first half of 2017, the change in the fair value of investment assets is positive and stands at €350 million. Change in the fair value of investment assets by operating segment can be broken down as follows:

w
France Offices:
+€120 million
w
Italy Offices:
+€21 million
w
Germany Residential:
+€176 million
w
Hotels in Europe:
+€29 million

Operating income rose €47.6 million, totalling €581.5 million compared to €533.9 million at 30 June 2016.

1.3.3.6. Financial aggregates

Changes in the fair value of financial instruments stood at +€30.4 million compared to -€18.5 million at 30 June 2016. These mainly consist of positive changes of €35 million in the fair value of hedging instruments and negative changes of €6 million in the value of the ORNANE bonds.

1.3.4.1. €6.3 million (1.5%) rise in consolidated net rental income

Net rental income increased mainly due to acquisitions, delivery of assets under development and the effect of indexation on the Germany Residential sector. This increase was offset by disposals. The net rental income by operating segment is the following:

France Offices 4,825 4,987 162 120

France Residential 237 204 -33 1
Car parks 14 13 -1 0
TOTAL FIXED ASSETS 11,030 11,615 586 350

The change in fixed assets for France Offices is primarily the result of the change in the fair value of investment properties (+€120 million), and the work carried out on properties under development (+€58 million).

The change in fixed assets for Italy Offices (-€233 million) was due to the splitting of Sicaf (Telecom Italia assets, -€310 million in Group Share), offset by the acquisition of the Creval portfolio for €62 million (offices in Milan) and the acquisition of two assets in Milan for +€35 million (Via Principe Amedeo and Via Marostica).

The change in fixed assets for Hotels in Europe is essentially linked to acquisitions in Spain (€280 million in Group Share), the exercising of the purchase option on NH Hotels (+€18 million) and the rise in fair value (+€30 million), reduced by 17 Quick assets, four AccorHotels assets and two Jardiland assets being reclassified as Assets held for sale (-€36 million).

The change in fixed assets for Germany Residential is mainly due to acquisitions of companies over the period for a portfolio value of €197 million, the acquisition of direct assets for €38 million and the €177 million change in fair value.

1.3.5.2. Assets held for sale

The assets held for sale primarily consist of assets for which a preliminary sales agreement has been signed. The €95 million increase between 2016 and 2017 mostly comes from completed sales and newly signed preliminary sale agreements. Hotels in Europe has entered into new preliminary sale agreements (€36 million) for four Accor Hotels and 17 Quick assets, and Italy Offices has entered into new preliminary sale agreements worth €62 million, including one for a property located in Piazza San Nicolao in Milan.

1.3.5.3. Total shareholders' equity Group Share

Shareholders' equity increased from €5,302 million at the end of 2016 to €5,871 million at 30 June 2017, i.e. an increase of €569 million, due mainly to:

  • w income for the period: +€489 million
  • w the capital increase net of costs: +€395.6 million

w impact of the cash dividend distribution: -€324.7 million

w financial instruments included in shareholders' equity: +€5.4 million.

1.3.5.4. Other assets

The application of IFRIC 21 resulted in the property tax debt for the current full year (properties owned on 1 January are liable) being recognised under liabilities at 30 June 2017. Concomitantly with the recognition of these liabilities, re-invoicing to tenants was recognised with assets under "Other Receivables". At 31 December, given the deadlines for property tax payments, these positions no longer exist, bringing about a change between the position at 30 June and the position at 31 December (the impact of the change is an increase of €28 million).

Furthermore, "Expenses for re-invoicing", which are included under the "Other assets" aggregate, increased by €10 million due to the process for settling expenses (property expenses to be re-invoiced to tenants) and the schedule for presenting expenses. Note the increased liabilities under the "Advances & down payments" item (included in the "Other Liabilities" aggregate), which includes calls for provisioned funds received from tenants.

1.3.5.5. Other liabilities

The €111 million increase in liabilities is mainly a result of the recognition of the deferred payment for Hotels in Europe acquisitions (+€26 million), changes in accounts payable to fixed-asset suppliers, notably for work on projects under development (+€23 million), the recognition of property tax debt (+€35 million) and calls for funds from tenants.

1.3.6.1. Investment properties and properties under development

These two fixed asset items increased by €1,566 million, mainly as a result of value adjustments (+€539 million) and asset acquisitions and work in the amount of €1,182 million (€597 million for Hotels in Europe, €388 million for Germany Residential and €123 million for Italy Offices).

1.3.6.2. Investments in equity affiliates

The investments in equity affiliates are up by €19 million. This change is principally due to the income for the period (+€22 million).

1.3.6.3. Discontinued operations (Logistics operations in 2016)

As of 1 January 2017, following the merger of FEL with Foncière des Régions, the residual logistics operations (for which most assets are subject to preliminary sale agreements) are no longer included under discontinued operations and have been reclassified under France Offices in the financial statements.

1.3.6.4. Deferred tax liabilities

The deferred taxes amounted to €482 million compared to €399 million at 31 December 2016. This €83 million increase is mainly due to the acquisitions completed and the increase in the value of assets in the sectors Germany Residential and Hotels & Service Sector abroad.

1.3.6.5. Other assets

The €73 million increase in this item includes the impact of IFRIC 21 in relation to the recognition of property tax re-invoicing (+€35 million), and the increase in the expenses to be re-invoiced to tenants (+€16 million) and immature trade receivables (+€14 million).

1.3.6.6. Other liabilities

The €168 million rise in this item is mainly due to the recognition of property tax debts (application of IFRIC 21: +€43 million), new deferred payment liabilities following acquisitions by Hotels in Spain (+€52 million) and the increase in accounts payable to fixed-asset suppliers for work on property under development (€27 million).

The 2017 and 2018 maturities are covered by existing cash and primarily involve corporate debt (including the TOWER bond maturing in early 2018), Germany Residential (Immeo) and Italy Offices (Beni Stabili, including the Pillar bond maturing in early 2018).

1.4.4. Main changes during the period

1.4.4.1. Strong financing and refinancing activity: €2.05 billion at 100% (€1.2 billion in Group Share)

  • w Foncière des Régions €500 million (€500 million in Group Share):
  • w In June 2017, Foncière des Régions proceeded to a successful €500 million bond issue, maturing in 2027, with a fixed coupon of 1.500%, i.e. a spread of 85 bps. This transaction was coupled with a cash redemption offer on part of the 2021 bonds bearing interest at a fixed rate of 1.750%. The total value of bonds redeemed was €273.1 million (of a total 2021 issue of €500 million).
  • w These transactions enable Foncière des Régions to continue diversifying its sources of finance, reduce the cost of debt and prolong its maturity.
  • w Italy Offices (Beni Stabili) €455 million (€238 million in Group Share):
  • w In March 2017, Beni Stabili redeemed its €270 million convertible bond maturing in April 2019, to reduce the risk of future dilution.
  • w In the first half of 2017, Beni Stabili also renewed over €150 million in corporate lines with its trusted banks.

  • w Hotels in Europe (Foncière des Murs) €724 million (€362 million in Group Share):

  • w In March 2017, Foncière des Murs took out an eight year, €278.5 million mortgage for the purchase of 17 hotels (3,335 rooms) in Spain, mostly 4* and located in the centre of Spain's major cities, essentially Barcelona and Madrid.
  • w In May 2017, Foncière des Murs refinanced a portfolio of 166 B&B properties in France held via the OPPCI vehicle B2 Hotel Invest. Financing of €290 million over seven years was raised on this occasion.
  • w Germany Residential (Immeo) €371 million (€226 million in Group Share):
  • w In the first half of 2017, Immeo took out several mortgages to finance its acquisitions, including:
    • €115 million over 10 years for the purchase of a portfolio of 1,827 units in Berlin, Dresden and Leipzig
    • €32 million over 10 years to finance the purchase of a portfolio of 330 units in Berlin.
  • w Immeo has also continued to refinance older debts to optimise their maturity and financial conditions. In this way, financing of €140 million over a maturity of 10 years was raised, backed by a portfolio of 3,082 units in Essen and Duisburg.

1.4.5. Hedging profile

In the first half of 2017, the hedge management policy remained unchanged, with debt hedged at 90% to 100% on average over the year, at least 75% of which through short-term hedges, and all of which with maturities equivalent to or exceeding the debt maturity.

Based on net debt at the end of June 2017, Foncière des Régions is hedged (Group Share) at 73%, compared to 81% at the end of 2016. The average term of the hedges is 6.1 years (in Group Share).

1.4.6. Average interest rate on the debt and sensitivity

The average interest rate on Foncière des Régions' debt continued to improve, standing at 1.95% in Group Share, compared to 2.2% in 2016. This reduction is mainly due to the "full year" effect of the issue on Foncière des Régions in May 2016 of a Green bond at 1.875% for 10 years combined with the partial redemption of the issue maturing in January 2018 and to the impact of the renegotiations in 2016 and 2017 and the restructuring of hedges. For information purposes, an increase of 50 basis points in the three-month Euribor rate would have a negative impact of €1.2 million on recurring net income.

1.4.6.1. Financial structure

Excluding debts raised without recourse to the Group's property companies, the debts of Foncière des Régions 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 in Group Share for Foncière des Régions and for FDM and on a consolidated basis for the other subsidiaries of Foncière des Régions (if their debts include them).

  • w The most restrictive consolidated LTV covenants amounted to 60% for Foncière des Régions, FDM, FDL and Beni Stabili at 30 June 2017.
  • w The threshold for consolidated ICR covenants differs from one REIT to another, depending on the type of assets, and may be different from one debt to another even for the same REIT, depending on debt seniority.

The most restrictive ICR consolidated covenants applicable to REITs are as follows:

  • w for Foncière des Régions: 200%
  • w for FDM: 200%
  • w for FDL: 150%
  • w for Beni Stabili: 150%.

With respect to Immeo, for which the debt raised is "nonrecourse" debt, there are no consolidated covenants associated with portfolio financing.

Lastly, with respect to Foncière des Régions, some corporate credit facilities are subject to the following ratios:

Ratio Covenant June 2017
LTV 60.0% 47.4%
ICR 200.0% 430.0%
Secured debt ratio(1) 25.0% 7.1%

(1) Only one loan with a covenant at 22.5%.

All covenants were fully complied with at the end June 2017. No loan has an accelerated payment clause contingent on Foncière des Régions' rating, which is currently BBB, stable outlook (S&P rating).

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 European TEGoVA standards 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 2016 by independent real estate experts such as REAG, DTZ, CBRE, JLL, BNP Real Estate, Yard Valtech, VIF, MKG and CFE. This did not include:

  • w buildings that do not meet the criteria of the revised IAS 40 (certain buildings in development), which are valued at cost
  • w assets on which the sale has been agreed, which are valued at their agreed sale price
  • w 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 flows method.

Car parks were valued by capitalising the gross operating surplus generated by the business.

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

For companies shared with other investors, only the Group Share was taken into account.

1.5.8.1. Fair value assessment of operating properties

In accordance with IFRS, operating properties are valued at historical cost. To take into account the appraisal value, a value adjustment is recognised in EPRA NNNAV for a total of €57.5 million.

1.5.8.2. Fair value adjustment for the car parks

Car parks are valued at historical cost in the consolidated financial statements. NAV is restated to take into account the appraisal value of these assets net of tax. The impact on EPRA NNNAV was €6 million at 30 June 2017.

1.5.8.3. Fair value adjustment for the buildings and business goodwill of FDM Management

FDM Management owns and operates hotels. In accordance with IAS 40, these assets are not recognised at fair value in the consolidated financial statements. In line with EPRA principles, EPRA NNNAV is adjusted for the difference resulting from the fair value appraisal of the assets for €14.4 million. The market value of these assets is determined by independent experts.

1.5.8.4. 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 NNNAV is adjusted for the fair value of fixed-rate debt.

1.5.8.5. Recalculation of the base cost excluding duties of certain assets

When a company, rather than the asset that it holds, can be sold off, transfer duties are recalculated based on the company's NAV. The difference between these recalculated duties and the transfer duties already deducted from the value.

Dividends paid in cash during the period amounted to €324.7 million, including €76.0 million applied to the share premium and merger premium accounts and €248.7 million to net income and retained earnings.

During the first half of 2017, Foncière des Régions undertook a capital increase of €400 million (€395.6 million net of costs) by issuing 5,076,786 new shares, i.e. €15.2 million of par value (€3.00 per share) and €380.4 million of share premium (€75.79 per share) and vested award of 35,812 bonus shares.

The increase in investments not giving control of nearly €550 million resulted from period net income to non-controlling interests (+€247 million), the capital increases in Foncière des Murs companies (+€155 million) and Immeo SE (+€38 million), the split up Central Sicaf (60% Beni Stabili, 40% other partners) (+€272 million) and distributions during the period (-€207 million).

2.2. NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

2.2.1. General principles

2.2.1.1. Accounting standards

The condensed consolidated financial statements of the Foncière des Régions group as at 30 June 2017 were prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standard IAS 34 "Interim Financial Reporting". Since they are condensed statements, they do not include all of the information required by IFRS guidelines and must be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements of the Foncière des Régions group for the year ending on 31 December 2016.

The financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on 20 July 2017.

Accounting principles and methods used

The accounting principles applied for the condensed consolidated financial statements as at 30 June 2017 are identical to those used for the consolidated financial statements as at 31 December 2016, except for new standards and amendments whose application was mandatory on or after 1 January 2017 and which were not applied early by the Group.

New standards awaiting adoption by the European Union, whose application is possible as of 1 January 2017:

  • w amendments to IAS 12 "Recognition of Deferred Tax Assets for Unrealised Losses", published on 19 January 2016; its adoption by the European Union is expected in the second half of 2017. The amendment provides clarification on how to estimate the existence of future taxable profit
  • w amendments to IAS 7 "Disclosure Initiative", published on 29 January 2016; its adoption by the European Union is expected in the second half of 2017. As part of its overall reflection on the presentation of financial statements, the IASB published amendments to IAS 7 "Statement of cash flows". Under these amendments, entities must provide disclosures that enable users of financial statements to evaluate changes in liabilities arising from financing activities, whether or not these changes stem from cash flows
  • w annual improvements to IFRS (2014-2016 cycle), published on 8 December 2016; its adoption by the European Union is expected in the second half of 2017. Early adoption of the IAS 28 Amendment is possible.

The new amendments and standards adopted by the European Union for which application was not mandatory at 1 January 2017 and which are not being applied early by the Foncière des Régions group are:

w IFRS 15 "Revenue from Contracts with Customers", adopted by the European Union on 22 September 2016; according to the IASB, the amendments should come into force on 1 January 2018. In May 2014, the IASB and the FASB published IFRS 15, which changes how revenue is recognised and supersedes IAS 18 "Revenue" and IAS 11 "Construction Contracts". IFRS 15 establishes a fundamental principle that requires revenues from contracts with customers to be recognised in a way that reflects the amount to which a seller expects to be entitled when transferring control of a good or service to a customer.

For the Group, this standard could have an impact on real estate development activities, for which an analysis is underway.

w IFRS 9 "Financial instruments: Hedge Accounting", adopted by the European Union on 22 November 2016; according to the IASB, the standard should come into force on 1 January 2018. This standard will replace IAS 39 "Financial Instruments" and should have only a limited impact on the financial statements.

IFRS standards and amendments published by the IASB but not adopted by the European Union, not yet mandatory for fiscal years beginning on or after 1 January 2017:

  • w amendments to IFRS 2 "Classification and Measurement of Share-based Payment Transactions", published on 20 June 2016; according to the IASB, the amendments should come into force on 1 January 2018. Its adoption by the European Union is expected in the second half of 2017. This amendment covers three aspects that concern the following: the effects of vesting conditions on the measurement of cash-settled share-based payments, share-based payment transactions with a net settlement feature for withholding tax obligations, and a modification to the terms and conditions of a share-based payment that changes the classification of the transaction from cash-settled to equity-settled
  • w amendments to IFRS 15, published on 12 April 2016; according to the IASB, the amendments should come into force on 1 January 2018. Its adoption by the European Union is expected in the second half of 2017. Clarifications have been made to IFRS 15 concerning the following: identification of performance obligations, principal versus agent application, licenses, and transitory provisions

  • w IFRS 16 "Leases"; according to the IASB, the amendments should come into force on 1 January 2019. Its adoption by the European Union is expected in the second half of 2017. On 13 January 2016, the IASB published IFRS 16, which will supersede IAS 17 "Leases", as well as the corresponding interpretations (IFRIC 4, SIC 15 and SIC 27). The most significant change is that all the leases concerned will be recognised on the tenant's balance sheet, providing better visibility on their assets and liabilities. An analysis of the impacts for the Group is under way. At 30 June 2017, the estimated impact of the standard on the financial statements is not significant

  • w amendments to IAS 40 "Transfers of Investment Property", published on 8 December 2016; according to the IASB, the amendments should come into force on 1 January 2018. Its adoption by the European Union is expected in the second half of 2017
  • w IFRS 17 "Insurance Contracts" published on 18 May 2017; according to the IASB, the amendments should come into force on 1 January 2021. IFRS 17 lays out the principles as to the recognition, valuation, presentation and disclosures concerning insurance contracts within the scope of application of the standard. This standard has no impact on the financial statements.

2.2.1.2. Estimates and judgments

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the historic cost convention, with the exception of investment properties and certain financial instruments, which were accounted for in accordance with the fair value convention. In accordance with the conceptual framework for IFRS, preparation of the financial statements requires making estimates and using assumptions that affect the amounts shown in these financial statements.

The significant estimates made by the Foncière des Régions group in preparing the financial statements mainly relate to:

  • w the valuations used for testing impairment, in particular assessing the recoverable value of goodwill and intangible fixed assets
  • w measurement of the fair value of investment properties
  • w assessment of the fair value of derivative financial instruments
  • w measurement of provisions.

Because of the uncertainties inherent in any valuation process, the Foncière des Régions group reviews its estimates based on regularly updated information. The future results of the transactions in question may differ from these estimates.

In addition to the use of estimates, Group management makes use of judgements to define the appropriate accounting treatment of certain business activities and transactions when the IFRS standards and interpretations in effect do not precisely handle the accounting issues involved.

2.2.2. Financial risk management

The operating and financial activities of the Company are exposed to the following risks:

2.2.2.1. Marketing risk for properties under development

The Group is involved in property development. As such, it is exposed to a number of different risks, particularly risks associated with construction costs, completion delays and the marketing of the assets. These risks can be assessed in light of the schedule of properties under development (§2.2.5.1.4).

2.2.2.2. Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is managed in the medium and long term with multi-year cash management plans and, in the short term, by using confirmed and undrawn lines of credit. At 30 June 2017, Foncière des Regions' available cash and cash equivalents amounted to €2,392 million, including €1,208 million in usable unconditional credit lines, €1,020 million in investments and €164 million in unused overdraft facilities.

CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2 AS AT 30 JUNE 2017

Notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements

The graph below summarises the maturities of borrowings (in €M), including treasury bills existing as at 30 June 2017:

30 June 2017 maturities include €890.4 million in treasury bills.

The amount of interest payable up to the maturity of the debt, estimated on the basis of the outstanding amount at 30 June 2017 and the average interest rate on the debt, totalled €1,048 million.

Details concerning the debt maturities are provided in Note 2.2.5.11.3, and a description of the banking covenants and accelerated payment clauses included in the loan agreements is presented in Note 2.2.5.11.6.

During the first half of 2017 the Group continued to diversify its sources of finance, reduce the cost of debt and extend its maturity.

w France Offices

In June 2017, Foncière des Régions proceeded to a successful €500 million bond issue, maturing in 2027, with a fixed coupon of 1.5%. At the same time, the Group redeemed €273.1 million and 55% of the bond issue maturing in 2021 and bearing interest at the rate of 1.75%.

w Italy Offices

In March 2017, Beni Stabili redeemed its €270 million ORNANE-type bond maturing in April 2019, thus reducing the risk of future dilution. Beni Stabili also renewed over €150 million in corporate lines with its operational banks.

w Hotels and Service sector

In March 2017, Foncière des Murs took mortgage financing of €278.5 million for 8 years as part of the acquisition of 17 hotels in Spain. In May 2017, it also refinanced a portfolio of 166 B&B assets in France in the amount of €290 million for 7 years.

w Germany Residential

During the first half of 2017, Immeo SE took out several mortgage loans as part of its acquisitions, including €115 million for 10 years to acquire a portfolio of 1,872 units in Berlin, Dresden and Leipzig and €32 million for 10 years to finance its acquisition of 330 units in Berlin.

Immeo has also continued to refinance older debts to optimise their maturity and financial conditions. A financing backed by a portfolio of 3,082 units in the Essen and Duisburg regions was raised in the amount of €140 million for 10 years.

2.2.2.3. Interest rate risk

The Group's exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rate rates is linked to its floating rate and long-term financial debt.

Wherever possible, bank debt is for the most part hedged via financial instruments (see 2.2.5.11.5). At 30 June 2017, after taking interest rate swaps into account, approximately 73% of the Group's debt was hedged, and the bulk of the remainder was covered by interest rate caps, which resulted in the following sensitivity to changes in interest rates:

  • w the impact of an increase of 100 bps on rates as at 30 June 2017 was -€3,276 thousand on recurring net income, Group share, in 2017
  • w the impact of an increase of 50 bps on rates as at 30 June 2017 was -€1,238 thousand on recurring net income, Group share, in 2017
  • w the impact of a decrease of 50 bps on rates as at 30 June 2017 was +€642 thousand on net recurring income, Group share, in 2017.

2.2.2.4. Financial counterparty risk

Given Foncière des Régions' contractual relationships with its financial partners, the Company is exposed to counterparty risk. If one of its partners is not in a position to honour its undertakings, the Group's net income could suffer an adverse effect.

This risk primarily involves the hedging instruments entered into by the Group and for which a default by the counterparty could make it necessary to replace a hedging transaction at the current market rate.

The counterparty risk is limited by the fact that Foncière des Régions is a borrower, from a structural standpoint. The risk is therefore mainly restricted to the investments made by the

2017 FIRST-HALF FINANCIAL REPORT //// FONCIÈRE DES RÉGIONS

Group and to its counterparties in derivative product transactions. The Company continually monitors its exposure to financial counterparty risk. The Company's policy is to deal only with top-tier counterparties, while diversifying its financial partners and its sources of funding.

Counterparty risk is included in the measurement of cash instruments. For the first half of 2017, this amounted to €3,524 thousand.

2.2.2.5. Lease counterparty risk

Foncière des Régions' rental income is subject to a certain degree of concentration, to the extent that the principal tenants (Orange, Telecom Italia, AccorHotels, Suez Environnement, B&B, EDF) generate the main part of the annual rental income.

Foncière des Régions does not believe it is significantly exposed to the risk of insolvency, since its tenants are selected based on their creditworthiness and the economic prospects of their market segments. The operating and financial performance of the main tenants is regularly reviewed. In addition, tenants grant the Group financial guarantees when leases are signed.

The Group has not recorded any significant overdue payments.

2.2.2.6. Risks related to changes in the value of the portfolio

Changes in the fair value of investment properties are accounted for in the income statement. Changes in property values can thus have a material impact on the operating performance of the Group.

In addition, part of the Company's operating income is generated by the sales plan, the income from which is equally dependent on property values and on the volume of possible transactions.

Rentals and property values are cyclical in nature, the duration of the cycles being variable but generally long-term. Different domestic markets have differing cycles that vary from each other in relation to specific economic and market conditions. Within each national market, prices also follow the cycle in different ways and with varying degrees of intensity, depending on the location and category of the assets.

The macroeconomic factors that have the greatest influence on property values and determine the various cyclical trends include the following:

  • w interest rates
  • w the liquidity on the market and the availability of other profitable alternative investments
  • w economic growth.

Low interest rates, abundant liquidity on the market and a lack of profitable alternative investments generally lead to an increase in property asset values.

Economic growth generally increases demand for leased space and paves the way for rent levels to rise, particularly in the office sector. These two consequences lead to an increase in the price of real estate assets. Nevertheless, in the medium term, economic growth generally leads to an increase in inflation and then an increase in interest rates, expanding the availability of profitable alternative investments. Such factors exert downward pressure on property values.

The investment policy of Foncière des Régions is to minimise the impact of the various stages of the cycle by choosing investments that:

  • w have long-term leases and high quality tenants, which soften the blow of a reduction in market rental income and the resulting decline in real estate prices
  • w are located in major city centres
  • w have low vacancy rates, in order to avoid the risk of having to re-let vacant space in an environment where demand may be limited.

The holding of real estate assets intended for leasing exposes Foncière des Régions to the risk of fluctuation in the value of real estate assets and lease payments.

Despite the uncertainty created by the economic downturn, this exposure is limited to the extent that the rentals invoiced are derived from rental agreements, the term and diversification of which mitigate the effects of fluctuations in the rental market.

The sensitivity of the fair value of investment properties to changes in capitalisation rates is analysed in § 2.2.5.1.3.

2.2.2.7. Exchange rate risk

The Company operates in the Euro zone. It is therefore not exposed to exchange rate risk.

2.2.2.8. Risks related to changes in the value of shares and bonds

The Group is exposed to risks for two classes of shares (see § 2.2.5.2.2).

This risk primarily involves listed securities in companies consolidated using the equity method, which are valued according to their value in use. Value in use is determined based on independent assessments of the real estate assets and financial instruments.

In addition, Foncière des Régions and Beni Stabili issued bonds (ORNANE) valued at their fair value in the income statement at each closing. The fair value corresponds to the monthly closing price of the bond, exposing the Group to changes in the value of the bond. The specific features of the ORNANE are described in Note 2.2.5.11.4.

Notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements

2.2.2.9. Tax environment

2.2.2.9.1. Changes in the French tax environment

The French tax environment has not seen any changes affecting the Group's fiscal situation since 1 January 2017.

2.2.2.9.2. Changes in the Italian tax environment

The changes in the Italian tax environment concern the corporation tax rate (IRES by the Italian acronym), which is lowered from 27.5% to 24% as of fiscal years ending in 2017.

2.2.2.9.3 Changes in the German tax environment

The Group has not observed any significant change in the German tax environment.

2.2.2.9.4.Tax risks

Given the ongoing changes to tax legislation, the Group is likely to be subject to reassessment proposals from the Tax Administration. If our counsel believes that an adjustment presents a risk of reassessment, a provision is made. The list of the main ongoing proceedings includes the following:

® Foncière des Régions tax inspection

Foncière des Régions' accounts were audited for the 2012 and 2013 fiscal years, which resulted in a reassessment proposal in December 2015 for corporate value added tax (CVAE) and corporate tax generating:

  • w a €9.7 million tax impact on the principal, relating to (i) the corporation tax, with a correlative increase in deficits on the taxable segment in the amount of €36.6 million and (ii) the CVAE. The Group is disputing this reassessment and, based on the analysis by the Company's legal counsels, no provision was recorded to that effect as at 30 June 2017. The reassessment proposal concerning a reduction in deficits in the taxable segment of €1 million on a total of €240 million was accepted
  • w a new reassessment proposal concerning the 2014 corporation tax was received as a follow-up to the reassessment made for 2012 and 2013, generating a financial impact of €3.9 million in principal. On the same basis as for the 2012 and 2013 financial years, this reassessment proposal is being contested and, based on the analysis by the Company's legal counsels, no provision was recorded to that effect as at 30 June 2017.

® Foncière Europe Logistique tax audit (merged with and into Foncière des Régions on 31 December 2016)

A corporate income tax reassessment proposal was received by Foncière Europe Logistique amounting to €3.2 million for fiscal years 2007 and 2008, followed by a tax collection procedure and a payment during the first half of 2012. Foncière Europe Logistique is nonetheless contesting this reassessment and filed a claim against it. The Tax Administration rejected the claim on the merits but nevertheless granted an abatement of €2.4 million in principal and interest to take into account the fact that the financial consequences were spread out over 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011. Since 2009 was prescribed, a final abatement of €0.8 million was obtained.

The case was referred to the Administrative Court, which rejected Foncière Europe Logistique's application in December 2015. A hearing before the Administrative Appeals Court of Versailles was held on 27 June 2017, with the ruling still expected. Based on the analysis by legal counsel, this dispute has not been provisioned as at 30 June 2017.

An accounting audit pertaining to the 2010 and 2011 fiscal years took place during the 2013 fiscal year, which ended in a reassessment proposal on the corporate tax for €3.5 million on the same grounds as the previous reassessment proposal for 2007 and 2008. This rectification was followed by a tax collection procedure and payment. The case was referred to the Administrative Court, which rejected Foncière Europe Logistique's request in June 2016. A hearing before the Administrative Appeals Court of Versailles was held on 27 June 2017, with the ruling still expected. Based on the analysis by legal counsel, this dispute has not been provisioned as at 30 June 2017.

An audit of Foncière Europe Logistique's accounts was conducted covering the 2012 and 2013 fiscal years, and culminated in a proposed corporate tax reassessment amounting to €1.3 million, on the same grounds as the previous reassessment proposal for 2007 to 2011. The case has been referred to the Administrative Court. Based on the analysis by legal counsel, this dispute has not been provisioned as at 30 June 2017.

® Foncière des Murs tax audit

Foncière des Murs underwent an accounting audit for the 2010 and 2011 fiscal years, which resulted in a reassessment proposal for the CVAE in the amount of €2.4 million. This reassessment proposal was confirmed in April 2015 following administrative reviews. It gave rise to a tax collection procedure and payment in the first half of 2016. The proposal is being contested in its entirety, and, based on the analysis by the Company's legal counsels, no provision was recorded to that effect as at 30 June 2017.

Foncière des Murs' accounts were also audited for the 2012, 2013 and 2014 fiscal years, which resulted in a reassessment proposal in December 2015 for corporate value added tax (CVAE) in the amount of €2 million, on the same grounds as the previous reassessment proposal for 2010 and 2011. This reassessment proposal was confirmed in May 2016 following administrative reviews. It gave rise to a tax collection procedure and payment in the second half of 2016. The proposal is being contested in its entirety, and, based on the analysis by the Company's legal counsel, no provision was recorded to that effect as at 30 June 2017.

® SNC Otello (Foncière des Murs subsidiary) tax audit

SNC Otello's accounts were audited for the 2011, 2012 and 2013 fiscal years, which resulted in a reassessment proposal for the CVAE in the amount of €0.5 million. This reassessment proposal was confirmed in April 2015 following administrative reviews. It gave rise to a tax collection procedure and payment in the first half of 2016. This proposal is being contested in its entirety, and, based on analysis by the Company's legal counsel, no provision was recorded to that effect as at 30 June 2017.

® République tax audit

République had a tax audit for the 2008, 2009 and 2010 fiscal years. A tax reassessment proposal for 2008, which has no impact on the corporate income tax owed, was received at the end of December 2011. On 6 June 2017, the Administrative Court of Montreuil found in the company's favour.

® Tax audits of the Germany Residential segment

Immeo and all its subsidiaries had a tax audit for the 2011, 2012 and 2013 fiscal years. These audits are ongoing. No provision has been set aside for these audits as at 30 June 2017.

® Tax audits of the Italy Offices segment

w Comit Fund tax dispute – Beni Stabili

On 17 April 2012, following a court decision, the Italian tax administration refunded the debt borne by Beni Stabili for the Comit Fund dispute (principal: €58.2 million and interest: €2.3 million). In April 2012, the Tax Administration appealed this decision. The Court of Appeal ruled in favour of the Tax Administration on 18 December 2015.

2.2.3. Scope of consolidation

2.2.3.1. Accounting principles applicable to the scope of consolidation

2.2.3.1.1. Consolidated subsidiaries and structured entities – IFRS 10

These financial statements include the financial statements of Foncière des Régions and the financial statements of the entities (including structured entities) that it controls and its subsidiaries.

The Foncière des Régions group has control when it:

  • w has power over the issuing entity
  • w is exposed or is entitled to variable returns due to its ties with the issuing entity
  • w has the ability to exercise its power in such as manner as to affect the amount of returns that it receives.

The Foncière des Régions group must reassess whether it controls the issuing entity when facts and circumstances indicate that one or more of the three factors of control listed above have changed.

A structured entity is an entity structured in such a way that the voting rights or similar rights do not represent the determining factor in establishing control of the entity; this is particularly the case when the voting rights only involve administrative tasks and the relevant business activities are governed by contractual agreements.

If the Group does not hold a majority of the voting rights in an issuing entity in order to determine the power exercised over an entity, it analyses whether it has sufficient rights to unilaterally manage the issuing entity's relevant business activities. The Group The dispute with the Tax Administration was settled with the payment of €55 million. The €56.2 million provision set aside in 2015 was reversed as at 31 December 2016.

However, Comit Fund and Beni Stabili have not entered a joint agreement to definitely ratify that they each will pay an equal share of this adjustment. A civil arbitration proceeding has been initiated by Comit Fund.

w Tax audits

Beni Stabili had a tax audit for the 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011 fiscal years. The tax administration issued reassessments in the amount of €9.8 million for the principal, which is disputed by the company in its entirety. The dispute was ongoing at 30 June 2017 and no provision has been recorded for the adjustment.

2.2.2.9.5. Deferred tax liabilities

Most of the Group's property companies have opted for the SIIC regime in France or for the SIIQ regime in Italy. The impact of deferred tax liabilities is therefore essentially related to the Germany Residential segment and to investments in the Hotels and Service sector for which the SIIC regime is not applicable (Germany, Belgium, Netherlands and Portugal).

takes into consideration any facts and circumstances when it evaluates whether the voting rights that it holds in the issuing entity are sufficient to confer power to the Group, including the following:

  • w the number of voting rights that the Group holds compared to the number of rights held respectively by the other holders of voting rights and their distribution
  • w the potential voting rights held by the Group, other holders of voting rights or other parties
  • w the rights under other contractual agreements
  • w the other facts and circumstances, where applicable, which indicate that the Group has or does not have the actual ability to manage relevant business activities at the moment when decisions must be made, including voting patterns during previous shareholders' meetings.

Subsidiaries and structured entities are fully consolidated.

2.2.3.1.2. Equity affiliates – IAS 28

An equity affiliate is an entity in which the Group has significant control. Significant control is the power to participate in decisions relating to the financial and operational policy of an issuing entity without, however, exercising control or joint control on these policies.

The results and the assets and liabilities of equity affiliates are accounted for in these consolidated financial statements according to the equity method.

CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2 AS AT 30 JUNE 2017

Notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements

2.2.3.1.3. Partnerships (joint control) – IFRS 11

Joint control means the contractual agreement to share the control exercised over a company, which only exists in the event where the decisions concerning relevant business activities require the unanimous consent of the parties sharing the control.

® Joint ventures

A joint venture is a partnership in which the parties which exercise joint control over the entity have rights to its net assets.

The results and the assets and liabilities of joint ventures are accounted for in these consolidated financial statements according to the equity method.

® Joint operations

A joint operation is a partnership in which the parties exercising joint control over the operation have rights to the assets, and obligations for the liabilities relating to it. Those parties are called joint operators.

A joint operator must recognise the following items relating to its interest in the joint operation:

  • w its assets, including its proportionate share of assets held jointly, where applicable
  • w its liabilities, including its proportionate share of liabilities assumed jointly, where applicable
  • w the income that it made from the sale of its proportionate share in the yield generated by the joint operation
  • w its proportionate share of income from the sale of the yield generated by the joint operation
  • w the expenses that it has committed, including its proportionate share of expenses committed jointly, where applicable.

The joint operator accounts for the assets, liabilities, income and expenses pertaining to its interests in a joint operation in accordance with the IFRS that apply to these assets, liabilities, income and expenses.

No Group company is considered to constitute a joint operation.

2.2.3.2. Additions to the scope of consolidation

2.2.3.2.1. France Offices segment

Creation of SNC Opco Newwork, dedicated to co-working, with no operations to date. This company is fully consolidated and 100% owned.

2.2.3.2.2. Hotels and Service sector

  • w Creation of Investment FDM Racatierra for the acquisition of 15 assets in Spain with recognition of the rental income as of 1 January 2017. This company is wholly owned by Foncière des Murs.
  • w The effective transfer of ownership of the equity in two Spanish companies, S.L. Bardiomar and Trade Center Hotel effective 1 January 2017. Trade Center Hotel owns the Gran Marina hotel in Barcelona and is wholly owned.

S.L. Bardiomar owns a hotel in Barcelona and was acquired at 50% ownership by Foncière des Murs. The remaining 50% will be acquired in the second half of 2017.

Investment FDM Rocatierra and Trade Center Hotel are fully consolidated, with 50% percentage interest.

Since Foncière des Murs controls that company and Foncière des Régions controls Foncière des Murs, Bardiomar is fully consolidated, as a 25% percentage interest.

2.2.5. Notes to the statement of financial position

2.2.5.1. Portfolio

2.2.5.1.1. Accounting principles applicable to tangible and intangible fixed assets

2.2.5.1.1.1. Intangible fixed assets

Identifiable intangible fixed assets are amortised on a straightline basis over their expected useful lives. Intangible fixed assets acquired appear on the balance sheet at acquisition cost. They primarily include entry fees (long-term leases conferring ad rem rights and occupancy rights for car parks) and computer software.

Intangible fixed assets are amortised on a straight-line basis, as follows:

  • w Software: over a period of 1 to 3 years
  • w Occupancy rights: 30 years.

Fixed assets in the concession segment – Concession activity

The Foncière des Régions group has applied IFRIC 12 to the consolidated financial statements since 1 January 2008. An analysis of the Group's concession agreements results in classifying agreements as intangible assets as the Group is paid directly by users for all car parks operated without a subsidy from public authorities. These concession assets are assessed at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment. Note that the Group no longer has wholly owned car parks; accordingly it no longer has "Car Parks" tangible assets.

2.2.5.1.1.2. Business combinations (IFRS 3)

An entity must determine whether a transaction or event constitutes a business combination within the meaning of the definition of IFRS 3, which stipulates that a business is an integrated set of activities and assets that is capable of being conducted and managed for the purpose of providing a return directly to investors in the form of dividends, lower costs or other economic advantages.

In this case, the acquisition cost is set at the fair value on the date of the exchange of the assets and liabilities and equity instruments issued for the purpose of acquiring the entity. Goodwill is accounted for as an asset for the surplus of the acquisition cost on the portion of the buyer's interest in the fair value of the assets and liabilities acquired, net of any deferred taxes. Negative goodwill is recorded in the income statement.

To determine whether a transaction constitutes a business combination, the Group considers whether an integrated set of businesses is acquired in addition to real estate. The criteria the Group uses may be the number of assets and the existence of a process such as asset management or sales and marketing units.

Related acquisition costs are recognised in expense in accordance with IFRS 3 under "Income from changes in consolidation scope" in the income statement.

If the Group concludes that the transaction is not a business combination, then it recognises the transaction as an acquisition of assets and applies the standards appropriate to acquired assets.

CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2 AS AT 30 JUNE 2017

Notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements

2.2.5.1.1.3. Investment properties (IAS 40)

Investment properties are real estate properties held for purposes of leasing within the context of operating leases or long-term capital appreciation (or both).

Investment properties represent the majority of the Group's portfolio. Assets occupied by the Foncière des Régions group are accounted for under tangible fixed assets.

Under the option offered by IAS 40, investment properties are assessed at their fair value. Changes in fair value are recorded in the income statement. Investment properties are not depreciated.

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 European TEGoVA standards and those of the Red Book of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS).

The real estate portfolio directly held by the Group was appraised in full on 30 June 2017 by independent real estate experts such as BNP Real Estate, JLL, DTZ, CBRE, Cushman, Yard Valltech, CFE, MKG, VIF and REAG.

The assets were estimated at values excluding and/or including duties, and rents at market value. Estimates were made using the comparables method, the rent capitalisation method and the discounted future cash flows method.

The assets are accounted for at their net market value.

  • w For France Offices and Italy Offices, the valuations are performed via two methods:
  • w the yield (or income capitalisation) method:
  • This approach consists of capitalising an annual income, which, in general, is rental income from occupied assets, with the possible impact of a reversion potential, and market rent for vacant assets, taking into account the time needed to find new tenants, any renovation work and other costs
  • w the Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) method:

This method consists of determining the useful value of an asset by discounting the forecast cash flows that it is likely to generate over a given time frame. The discount rate is determined on the basis of the risk-free rate plus a risk premium associated with the asset and defined by comparison with the discount rates applied to cash flows generated by similar assets.

  • w For the Hotels and Service sector, the methodology changes according to the type of asset:
  • w the rent capitalisation method is used for restaurants, garden centres and Club Med holiday villages
  • w the DCF method is used for hotels (including the revenue forecasts determined by the appraiser) and Sunparks holiday villages.

w For the Residential segment, the methodology changes according to the type of asset:

The assets are accounted for at their net fair value. The fair value is determined based on:

  • w a block value for assets for which no sales strategy has been developed or which have not been marketed
  • w an occupied retail value for assets on which at least one offer has been made before the closing date.

The following valuation methods were used:

  • w for assets located in France: the leasing revenue discount method and the comparison method
  • w for assets located in Germany: the Discounted Cash Flow method.

The resulting values are also compared with the initial rate of return and the monetary values per square metre of comparable transactions and transactions carried out by the Group.

IFRS 13 "Fair Value Measurement" establishes a fair value hierarchy that categorises the inputs used in valuation techniques into three levels:

  • w level 1: the valuation refers to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date
  • w level 2: the valuation refers to valuation methods using inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, in an active market
  • w level 3: the valuation refers to valuation methods using inputs that are unobservable in an active market.

The fair value measurement of investment properties requires the use of different valuation methods using unobservable or observable inputs to which some adjustments have been applied. Accordingly, the Group's portfolio is mainly categorised as level 3 according to the IFRS 13 fair value hierarchy.

2.2.5.1.1.4. Assets under development (revised IAS 40)

Since 1 January 2009, in accordance with amended IAS 40, assets under construction are valued according to the general fair-value principle, except where it is not possible to determine this fair value on a reliable and ongoing basis. In such cases, the asset is valued at cost.

As a result, development programmes and extensions or remodelling of existing assets that are not yet commissioned are valued at their fair value, and are treated as investment properties whenever the administrative and technical fair-value reliability criteria – i.e. administrative, technical and commercial criteria – are met.

In accordance with revised IAS 23, the borrowing cost during a period of construction and renovation is included in the cost of the assets. The capitalised amount is determined on the basis of fees paid for specific borrowings and, where applicable, for financing from general borrowings based on the weighted average rate of the particular debt.

2.2.5.1.1.5. Tangible fixed assets (IAS 16)

Pursuant to the preferred method proposed by IAS 16, operating assets and wholly-owned car parks are valued at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any potential impairment.

2.2.5.1.1.6. Non-current assets held for sale (IFRS 5)

In accordance with IFRS 5, when Foncière des Régions decides to dispose of an asset or group of assets, it classifies it or them as an asset or assets held for sale if:

w the asset or group of assets is available for immediate sale in its current condition, subject only to normal and customary conditions for the sale of such assets

w its or their sale is likely within one year and marketing for the property has been initiated.

For the Foncière des Régions group, only assets corresponding to the above criteria and included in a planned sales programme drawn up by the Board of Directors are classified as non-current assets held for sale.

The conditions for valuing these assets are identical to those expressed above for investment properties if no sale commitment has been signed. If a sale commitment exists on the account closing date, the price of the commitment net of expenses constitutes the fair value of the asset held for sale.

2.2.5.2. Financial assets

2.2.5.2.1. Accounting principles

2.2.5.2.1.1. Other financial assets

Other financial assets consist of investment-fund holdings, which cannot be classified as cash or cash equivalents.

These securities are accounted for upon acquisition at acquisition cost plus transaction costs. They are then valued at fair value in the income statement on the closing date. The fair value is arrived at on the basis of recognised valuation techniques (reference to recent transactions, Discounted Cash Flows, etc.). Some securities that cannot be reliably valued at fair value are valued at acquisition cost.

Securities available for sale of public and private companies are recorded at their stock-market price with an offsetting entry in shareholders' equity in accordance with IAS 39.

Dividends received are recognised when they have been approved by vote.

2.2.5.2.1.2. Loans

At each closing date, loans are recorded at their amortised cost. Moreover, impairment is booked and accounted for on the income statement when there is an objective indication of impairment as a result of an event occurring after the initial recognition of the asset.

2.2.5.3. Investments in equity affiliates and joint ventures

2.2.5.3.1. Accounting principles

Investments in equity affiliates and joint ventures are accounted for by the equity method. According to this method, the Group's investment in the equity affiliate or the joint venture is initially accounted for at cost, increased or reduced by the changes, subsequent to the acquisition, in the share of the net assets of the affiliate. The goodwill related to an equity affiliate or joint venture is included in the book value of the investment, if it is not impaired. The share in the earnings for the period is shown in the line item "Share in income of equity affiliates".

The financial statements of associates and joint ventures are prepared for the same accounting period as for the parent company, and adjustments are made, where relevant, to adapt the accounting methods to those of the Foncière des Régions group.

2.2.5.6. Inventories and work-in-progress

2.2.5.6.1. Accounting principles applicable to inventories

The inventories held by the Foncière des Régions group relate mainly to Beni Stabili's "Trading portfolio" and the Germany Residential segment. They are intended to be sold during the normal course of business. They are recorded at acquisition price and, as applicable, are depreciated in relation to the sale value (independent appraisal value).

2.2.5.6.2.Inventories and work-in-progress at 30 June 2017

The "Inventories and work-in-progress" line item on the balance sheet primarily consists of trading business inventories in the Italy Offices segment (€26.4 million). This line also consists of assets dedicated to trading business and real estate development in the Germany Residential segment (€4.6 million), the trading business in the France Residential segment (€1.8 million) and land in Orléans (€0.1 million).

2.2.5.7. Trade receivables

2.2.5.7.1. Accounting principles applicable to trade receivables

Trade receivables consist mainly of operating and finance lease receivables. These items are valued at amortised cost. In the event that the recoverable value is lower than the net book value, the Group may be required to account for an impairment charge through profit or loss.

2.2.5.7.1.1. Receivables from operating lease transactions

For operating-lease receivables, a provision is made at the first non-payment. The impairment rates applied by Foncière des Régions are as follows:

  • w no provision is set aside for existing or vacated tenants whose receivables are less than three months overdue
  • w 50% of the total amount of the receivable for existing tenants whose receivables are between three and six months overdue
  • w 100% of the total amount of the receivable for existing tenants whose receivables are more than six months overdue
  • w 100% of the total amount of the receivable for vacated tenants whose receivables are more than three months overdue.

The receivables and theoretical provisions arising from the rules above are reviewed on a case-by-case basis in order to factor in any specific situations.

2.2.5.7.1.2. Finance lease receivables

The receivables are accounted for at their amortised value. When the financial position of the debtor gives grounds for the likelihood of non-recovery, a provision is made.

Provisions for doubtful unpaid receivables in relation to financial contracts are made for at least the interest billed according to the terms of the contract.

Termination fees are accounted for when invoiced. Given the significant possibility of non-recovery, these revenues are generally depreciated by an identical amount.

Moreover, finance-lease assets related to doubtful contracts manifesting termination risks that are considered significant are independently appraised at market value. When these valuations, net of transfer taxes, and line-by-line, are lower than the net financial value, an impairment provision equal to the difference is recognised.

2.2.5.9. Cash and cash equivalents

2.2.5.9.1. Accounting principles applicable to cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash, short-term deposits, and money-market funds. These are short-term, highly liquid assets that are easily convertible into a known cash amount, and for which the risk of a change in value is negligible.

2.2.5.11. Statement of debts

2.2.5.11.1. Accounting principles applicable to debt

Financial liabilities include borrowings and other interest-bearing debt.

At initial recognition, financial liabilities are measured at fair value, plus or minus the transaction costs directly attributable to the issue of the liability. They are then accounted for at amortised cost based on the effective interest rate. The effective rate includes the nominal rate and actuarial amortisation of issue expenses and issue and redemption premiums.

Financial liabilities of less than one year are posted under "Current financial liabilities".

Convertible bonds (ORNANE-type) issued by the Foncière des Régions group are either (i) accounted for at fair value in the income statement or (ii) accounted for separately as a financial liability at amortised cost and an embedded derivative measured at fair value in the income statement.

For Foncière des Régions, the fair value is determined according to the closing bond price.

In the case of financial liabilities resulting from the recognition of finance lease agreements, the financial liability recognised against the tangible fixed asset is initially accounted for at the leased asset's fair value, or if lower, at the discounted value of the minimum lease payments.

2.2.5.11.1.1.1. Tenants' security deposits

The Foncière des Régions group discounts security deposits at the average financing rate of the structure and over the average remaining term of the leases determined for each type of asset.

2.2.5.11.1.1.2. Derivatives and hedging instruments

The Foncière des Régions group uses derivatives to hedge its floating rate debt against interest rate risk (hedging of future cash flows).

Derivative financial instruments are recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. The fair value is calculated using valuation techniques that use mathematical calculations based on recognised financial theories and parameters that incorporate the prices of market-traded instruments. This valuation is carried out by an external service provider.

The Group has been applying IFRS 13 since 1 January 2013. This standard requires accounting for counterparty risk (i.e. the risk of a counterparty defaulting on its commitments) in the assessment of the fair value of financial assets and liabilities.

The majority of the financial instruments in the Italy Offices segment qualify for hedge accounting as defined by IAS 39.

In this case, changes in the fair value of the effective portion of the hedge are accounted for net of tax in shareholders' equity until the hedged transaction occurs. The ineffective portion is recorded in the income statement.

Only Beni Stabili used hedge accounting as at 30 June 2017.

In other cases, given the characteristics of its debt, as of 1 January 2007 the Foncière des Régions group no longer qualifies for hedge accounting under IAS 39. All derivative instruments are therefore accounted for at their fair value, and changes are reflected in the income statement.

Notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements

2.2.5.11.6. Banking covenants

Excluding debts raised without recourse to the Group's property companies, the debts of Foncière des Régions and its subsidiaries generally include bank covenants (interest coverage ratio [ICR] and loan to value [LTV]), applying to the borrower's consolidated financial statements. If these covenants are breached, early debt repayment may be triggered. These covenants were established in Group share for Foncière des Régions and for Foncière des Murs and on a consolidated basis for Foncière Développement Logements and Beni Stabili (if their debts include them).

With respect to Immeo, for which the debt raised is "nonrecourse" debt, there are no consolidated covenants associated with portfolio financing.

The most restrictive consolidated LTV covenants at 30 June 2017 were 60% for Foncière des Régions, Foncière des Murs and Foncière Développement Logements. Lastly, a limited portion of Beni Stabili financing included a consolidated LTV covenant (Beni Stabili scope), the most restrictive level of which was also 60%.

The threshold for the consolidated ICR covenants differs from one REIT to another, depending on the type of assets, and may be different from one debt to another even for the same REIT, depending on debt seniority. Lastly, only a portion of the Beni Stabili loans has a consolidated ICR covenant.

The most restrictive ICR consolidated covenants applicable to the REITs are as follows:

  • w for Foncière des Régions: 200%
  • w for Foncière des Murs: 200%
  • w for Foncière Développement Logements: 150%
  • w for Beni Stabili: 150%.

All of these consolidated LTV and ICR covenants were strictly complied with as at 30 June 2017.

With regard to Foncière des Régions, the consolidated bank ratios as at 30 June 2017 were 47.4% for Group share LTV and 432% for Group share ICR, compared to 49.5% and 360% respectively at 31 December 2016.

Another type of covenant was added to the consolidated LTV and ICR Group share covenants of Foncière des Régions as part of the corporate loans taken out by Foncière des Régions: an assetsecured debt covenant (100% scope), the cap on which is set at 25% (excluding a €75 million credit facility where the covenant is set at 22.5%) and which measures the ratio of secured debt (or debt with guarantees of any nature) to asset value.

This covenant is fully respected at 30 June 2017 and is at a very comfortable level.

No loan has an accelerated payment clause contingent on a rating of Foncière des Régions.

CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements 2

AS AT 30 JUNE 2017

These covenants, which are based on the Company and consolidated financial statements, most often include specific covenants for the scopes financed. These "Scope" covenants, or to a lesser extent the interest coverage ratios, usually have less restrictive thresholds for the Group's companies than consolidated covenant thresholds. Their purpose is mainly to supervise the use of financing by correlating it with the value of the underlying assets provided as collateral.

2.2.5.12. Provisions for contingencies and losses

2.2.5.12.1. Accounting principles applicable to provisions for contingencies and losses

3.2.5.12.1.1.Retirement commitments

The retirement commitments are accounted for in accordance with revised IAS 19. The liabilities arising from defined-benefits pension schemes are provisioned on the balance sheet for existing staff at the closing date. They are calculated according to the projected credit units method based on valuations made at each year-end. The past service cost corresponds to the benefits granted, either when the Company adopts a new defined-benefits scheme, or when it changes the level of benefits of an existing scheme. When new benefits are granted upon adoption of a new scheme or change in an existing scheme, the past service cost is immediately accounted for in the income statement.

Conversely, when the adoption of a new scheme or change in an existing scheme gives rise to the vesting of benefits after its implementation date, the past service cost is accounted for as an expense on a straight-line basis over the average remaining period until the benefits become fully vested. Actuarial gains and losses result from the effects of changes in actuarial assumptions and experience adjustments (differences between actuarial assumptions and what has actually occurred). The change in these actuarial gains and losses is accounted for in "Other items" of comprehensive income. The expense recognised in operating income includes the cost of the services rendered during the year, amortisation of past service costs and the effects of any reduction or liquidation of the scheme; the cost of discounting is accounted for in net financial income. The valuations are made taking into account the Collective Agreements applicable in each country and in keeping with the various local regulations. For each employee, the retirement age is the social security eligibility age.

Notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements

The provisions for litigation are broken down into €2.5 million for France Offices, €0.3 million for Italy Offices and €0.3 million for France Residential.

Provisions for taxes concern only the Italy Offices segment, in the amount of €1.2 million.

Other provisions consist primarily of the following:

  • w other provisions for contingencies and losses: €3.7 million
  • w provisions relating to grantor rights (Car Parks): €0.2 million
  • w other provisions for losses: €0.3 million.

The provision for retirement indemnities totalled €48.1 million as at 30 June 2017 (of which €45.4 million for the Germany Residential segment).

2.2.6. Notes to the statement of net income

2.2.6.1. Accounting principles

2.2.6.1.1. Rental income

According to the presentation of the income statement, rental income is treated as revenues. Car park receipts, disposals of assets in inventory and service charges are now shown in specific lines of the income statement below net rental income.

As a general rule, invoicing is quarterly. The rental income of investment properties is accounted for on a straight-line basis over the term of the ongoing leases. Any benefits granted to tenants (rent-free periods, step rental leases) are amortised on a straight-line basis over the duration of the lease agreement, in compliance with SIC 15.

2.2.6.2. Operating profit

2.2.6.2.1. Rental income

2.2.6.1.2. Share-based payments (IFRS 2)

The application of IFRS 2 has resulted in the recognition of an expense for benefits granted to employees as share-based payments. This expense is recorded in income for the year.

Bonus shares are valued by Foncière des Régions at the date of their award according to a binomial valuation model. This model takes into account the features of the plan (price and exercise period), market data upon award (risk free rate, share price, volatility and expected dividends), and assumptions of beneficiary behaviour. The benefits thus granted are accounted for as expenses over the vesting period, and offset by an increase in the consolidated reserves.

TOTAL RENTAL INCOME 459,380 452,288 7,092 1.6%

The rental income consists of rental and similar income (e.g. occupancy fees and entry rights) invoiced for investment properties during the period. Rent exemptions, step rental schemes and entry rights are spread out over the fixed term of the lease.

Rental income amounted to €459.4 million at 30 June 2017 compared with €452.3 million at 30 June 2016, an increase of €7.1 million.

The changes by type of asset break down as follows:

  • w A decrease in rental income at France Offices (-2.0%) attributable primarily to the effect of asset disposals (-€3.2 million) and assets made vacant for rehabilitation (-€3.2 million), less the delivery of assets under development in 2016 and 2017 (+€0.7 million) and acquisitions (+€3.1 million).
  • w An increase in Italy Offices rents (+3%) due to the arrival of new tenants (+€1.9 million), renewals of leases (+€0.4 million) and acquisitions (+€3 million) minus the effect of disposals (-€1.3 million) and asset vacancies (-€1 million).

  • w An increase in rental income at Hotels and Service (+1.9%) principally as a result of acquisitions (+€17.3 million), rent indexing (+€0.5 million), increased rents at AccorHotels (+€1.1 million) and the deliveries of hotels (+€0.9 million) in France and Germany, less the effect of disposals in the hotel segment (-€10.6 million) and disposals in the healthcare segment (-€7.2 million).

  • w An increase in rental income from the Germany Residential segment (+6.6%) following acquisitions (+€11 million), rent indexing (+€3 million), less the impact of disposals (-€7 million).
  • w A 25.6% decrease in the France Residential segment due to disposals and assets made vacant for their disposal.

Note that the tenant Telecom Italia accounts for 48% of total revenues in the Italy Offices segment (€49.1 million).

RATE FOR PROPERTY EXPENSES -8.8% -8.8%

w Unrecovered rental costs: these expenses are net of re-invoicing to tenants, and basically correspond to charges on vacant premises.

The change in the period (-€2.8 million) is due mainly to the effects of land taxes on the developments of France Offices (-€0.5 million), the reconsolidation of Logistics (-€0.8 million) and the effect of acquisitions in Spain (-€1.6 million).

  • w Expenses on properties: these consist of rental expense that are borne by the owner, expenses related to works and expenses related to property management.
  • w Net losses on unrecoverable receivables: these consist of losses on unrecoverable receivables and net provisions on doubtful receivables. At 30 June 2017, the charges net of reversals essentially stem from the Italy Offices segment (-€0.5 million) and the France Offices segment (-€0.2 million).

They primarily include a commission of €0.6 million earned on the refinancing of a portfolio of hotels in France and the consolidation of Revalo in Italy, a company specialising in the management of real estate portfolios, in the amount of €2.2 million.

Business expenses increased. These consist primarily of appraisal expenses totalling €1.5 million, asset management fees totalling €0.8 million, as well as expenses related to inspections totalling €0.4 million.

Overheads rose by €4 million, particularly for payroll following the increase in headcount in Italy (Revalo) and Germany.

Notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements

2.2.6.2.4.Results from other activities

The net income from other activities declined by €5.7 million. This change is attributable to lower earnings in Car Park companies (-€4.6 million) due mainly to the disposal made on 21 December 2016 and by lower earnings from real estate development in the France Offices segment (€2.5 million at 30 June 2017 versus €3.4 million at 30 June 2016).

TOTAL CHANGE IN FAIR VALUE OF PROPERTIES 539,230 429,809 109,421

w At France Offices, the fair value is driven by the assets delivered in the first half of 2017 (+23% on average).

  • w In the Hotels and Service sector, value creation was largely driven by the period's acquisitions.
  • w At Germany Residential, the asset values benefited from indexing and the compression of present-value discount rates, particularly in Berlin, where the yield rate on the total portfolio for the six months ending 30 June 2017 was 5% versus 5.4% for the same period ended 30 June 2016.

2.2.6.4. Income from changes in scope

A loss of €2.5 million was recognised under income from changes in consolidation scope, primarily due to the acquisition costs for shares in the Germany Residential (-€2.3 million) and Italy Offices (-€0.2 million) segments, which, in accordance with IFRS 3R, must be recognised in profit or loss.

2.2.6.7. Taxes payable and deferred taxes (including the Exit Tax)

2.2.6.7.1. Accounting principles applicable to current and deferred taxes

2.2.6.7.1.1. SIIC tax regime (French companies)

Opting for the SIIC tax regime involves the immediate liability for an exit tax at the reduced rate of 19% on unrealised capital gains relating to assets and securities of entities not subject to corporation tax. The exit tax is payable over four years, in four instalments, starting with the year the option is taken up. In return, the Company is exempted from income tax on the SIIC business and is subject to distribution obligations.

w Exemption of SIIC revenues

The revenues of the SIIC are exempt from taxes concerning:

  • w income from the leasing of assets
  • w capital gains realised on asset disposals, investments in companies having opted for the tax treatment or companies not subject to corporation tax in the same business, as well as the rights under a lease contract and real estate rights under certain conditions
  • w dividends of SIIC subsidiaries.

w Distribution obligations

The distribution obligations associated with exemption profits are the following:

  • w 95% of the earnings derived from asset leasing
  • w 60% of the capital gains from disposals of assets and shares in subsidiaries having opted for the tax treatment or subsidiaries not subject to corporation tax with a SIIC corporate purpose for two years
  • w 100% of dividends from subsidiaries that have opted for the tax treatment.

The Exit Tax liability is discounted on the basis of the initial payment schedule determined from the first day the relevant entities adopted SIIC status.

The liability initially accounted for is discounted and an interest charge is applied at each closing, allowing the liability to reflect the net discounted value as at the closing date. The discount rate used is based on the yield curve, given the deferred payment.

2.2.6.7.1.2. Ordinary law regime and deferred taxes

Deferred taxes result from temporary differences in taxation or deduction and are calculated using the liability method, and on all temporary differences in the Company financial statements, or resulting from consolidation adjustments. The valuation of the deferred tax assets and liabilities must reflect the tax consequences that would result from the method by which the Company seeks to recover or settle the book value of its assets and liabilities at year-end. Deferred taxes are applicable to Foncière des Régions' entities that are not eligible for or have not opted for the SIIC tax regime.

A deferred tax asset is recognised in the case of deferrable tax losses in the likely event that the entity in question, not eligible for the SIIC regime, will have taxable future profits against which the tax losses may be applied.

In the case where a French company intends to opt directly or indirectly for SIIC tax treatment in the near future, an exception under the ordinary law regime is applied by anticipating the application of the reduced rate (Exit Tax) in the valuation of deferred taxes.

Notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements

2.2.6.7.1.3. SIIQ tax regime (Italian companies)

Opting for the SIIQ tax regime triggers immediate liability for exit tax at a reduced 20% tax rate on the unrealised capital gains relating to the assets eligible for SIIQ tax treatment. The exit tax is payable over a maximum of five years.

Note that in 2014, a new decree was enacted (Law Decree No. 133/2014). Previously, the Company was exempted from tax on the SIIQ revenues ("rental" asset rental income and dividends of subsidiaries subject to the tax regime) on condition of an 85% distribution ceiling. This ceiling has now been lowered to 70%.

Moreover, the decree requires that 50% of the capital gains on the disposal of assets eligible for the SIIQ regime be distributed within two years following their recognition.

In compensation, no tax is payable on capital gains from asset disposals and earnings from this business activity.

w Note that the deferred tax expense of the Italy Offices segment for the 2016 fiscal year is mainly due to a decrease in the deferred tax assets following the use of tax credits.

2.2.7. Other information

2.2.7.1. Personnel remuneration and benefits

2.2.7.1.1. Personnel expenses

Personnel expenses amounted to €35.9 million as at 30 June 2017, compared with €38.8 million as at 30 June 2016. This reduction was largely attributable to the disposal on 20 December 2016 of the company employing the car park personnel (€5 million payroll expense appearing under "Expenses of other activities" for the period ended 30 June 2016) and to increased payroll expenses at Germany Residential and Italy Offices (due to the consolidation of Revalo in December 2016).

2.2.7.1.1.1. Headcount

At 30 June 2017, the headcount of fully consolidated companies was 811.

The cost of the bonus share awards includes the impact of the 2013 plan for €28 thousand, the 2014 plan for €880 thousand, the 2015 plan for €808 thousand, the 2016 plan for €1,041 thousand, and the 2017 plan for €272 thousand.

2.2.7.2. Earnings per share and diluted earnings per share

2.2.7.2.1. Earnings per share (IAS 33)

Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the income attributable to holders of ordinary Foncière des Régions shares (the numerator) by the average weighted number of ordinary shares outstanding (the denominator) over the period.

In accordance with the rules set out in IAS 33, when shares are issued with preferential subscription rights, the number of ordinary shares to take into account when calculating basic and diluted earnings per share for all periods prior to the rights issue is the number of ordinary shares outstanding before the issue, multiplied by the following factor:

Fair value per share immediately prior to exercise of the right/ Theoretical fair value per share ex-right.

To calculate the diluted earnings per share, the average number of shares outstanding is adjusted to reflect the conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares, including bonus shares being vested and convertible bonds (ORNANE-type).

The impact of the dilution is only taken into account if it is dilutive.

The dilutive effect is calculated using the treasury stock method. The number calculated using this method is added to the average number of shares outstanding and becomes the denominator. To calculate the diluted earnings, the income attributable to the holders of ordinary Foncière des Régions shares is adjusted by:

  • w all dividends or other items under dilutive potential ordinary shares that were deducted to arrive at the income attributable to the holders of ordinary shares
  • w interest accounted for during the fiscal year to the dilutive potential ordinary shares
  • w any change in the income and expenses resulting from the conversion of the dilutive potential ordinary shares.

Notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements

2.2.8. Segment reporting

2.2.8.1. Accounting principles as regards operating segments – IFRS 8

The Foncière des Régions group holds a wide range of real estate assets to collect rental income and benefit from appreciation in the assets held. Segment reporting is organised by asset type.

The operating segments are as follows:

w France Offices: office real estate assets located in France

  • w Italy Offices: office real estate assets located in Italy held by Beni Stabili
  • w Hotels and Service sector: commercial buildings in the hotel and retail segment held by Foncière des Murs
  • w Germany Residential: real estate assets in Germany held by Foncière des Régions through its subsidiary Immeo SE

w France Residential: residential real estate assets in France held by Foncière Développement Logements.

These segments are reported on and analysed regularly by Group management in order to make decisions on what resources to allocate to the segment and to evaluate their performance.

As of 1 January 2017, following the merger of FEL with Foncière des Régions, the residual logistics operations, not material at the Group level, are no longer included under discontinued operations and have been reclassified under France Offices in the financial statements.

The €16.1 million increase in Italy Offices was due to the €19.2 million deposit made in the conditional acquisition of an asset in Milan, less the use of the deposit (-€5 million) for the acquisition of Via Principe Amedeo in Milan.

The total of investment properties rose sharply at Germany Residential (+€646 million), largely due to the acquisitions of asset-holding companies (+€325.1 million), the acquisitions of assets (+€63.4 million), changes in asset values (+€278.8 million) and construction (+€25.5 million).

The same applies to the Hotels and Service sector (+€630 million), an increase due primarily to acquisitions of asset-holding companies (+€185.2 million), direct acquisitions of assets (+€375 million), the exercise of three purchase options on NH hotels in Germany (+€36.8 million) and construction (+€17.7 million).

At Italy Offices, the increase (+€57 million) resulted from asset acquisitions (+€123.3 million), reclassification as assets held for sale (-€114.4 million), a change in the fair value (+€43.5 million) and to construction (+€6.3 million).

At France Offices, the increase (€5,115 million in 2017 versus €4,891 million in 2016) resulted from acquisitions (+€3 million), construction during the period (+€20 million), deliveries of assets under development (+€155.7 million) and the reclassification of assets held for sale (-€16.4 million).

The decrease at France Residential resulted mainly from disposals made in 2017 (-€56 million).

The increase in financial assets at France Offices resulted primarily from loans granted to equity affiliates (+€5.6 million).

The decrease in the financial assets of Germany Residential resulted from the use of advances given in 2016 (-€13.4 million) to acquire shares of companies in Germany (the Ferdinand and Golddust transactions) and the payment in the first half of 2017 of €5.4 million to acquire the shares of unconsolidated companies in Germany.

STATUTORY AUDITORS' REVIEW ON THE HALF-YEARLY

For the period from January 1 to June, 30, 2017

To the Shareholders,

In compliance with the assignment entrusted to us by yours shareholders general meeting and in accordance with the requirements of article L. 451-1-2 III of the French monetary and financial code ("Code monétaire et financier"), we hereby report to you on:

  • w the review of the accompanying condensed half-yearly consolidated financial statements of Foncière des Régions, for the period from January 1st, 2017 to June 30th, 2017;
  • w the verification of the information presented in the half-yearly management report.

These condensed half-yearly consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the board of directors. Our role is to express a conclusion on these financial statements based on our review.

1. Conclusion on the financial statements

We conducted our review in accordance with professional standards applicable in France. A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with professional standards applicable in France and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying condensed half-yearly consolidated financial statements are not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34 – standard of the IFRSs as adopted by the European Union applicable to interim financial information.

2. Specific verification

We have also verified the information presented in the half-yearly management report on the condensed half-yearly consolidated financial statements subject to our review.

We have no matters to report as to its fair presentation and consistency with the condensed half-yearly consolidated financial statements.

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 on the basis of rental income under IFRS for strategic activities. Given specificities and common practices in German residential, the Like-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.

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

The current scope includes all portfolio assets except assets under development.

Like-for-Like change in value

This indicator is used to compare asset values from one financial year to another without accounting for changes in scope: acquisitions, disposals, developments including the vacating and delivery of properties.

The Like-for-Like change presented in portfolio tables is a variation taking into account CAPEX works done on the existing portfolio. The restated Like-for-Like change in value of this work is cited in the comments section.

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 annualised data solely on the strategic activities portfolio.

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

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".

Rental income

  • w Recorded rent corresponds to gross rental income accounted for over the year by taking into account deferment of any relief granted to tenants, in accordance with IFRS standards.
  • w 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.
  • w Annualised "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.
