(1) LfL: Like-for-Like
Group share revenues decreased by 10.8% year-on-year (-€36.5 million) primarily under the following effects:
- solid results on Offices and Residential activities, with like-forlike revenues increasing by +1.9% (+€4.6 million):
- +1.0% in France Offices, thanks to indexation
- +2.0% in Italy Offices driven by Offices in Milan excluding Telecom Italia (+3.3%)
- +2.8% in German Offices (excluding the acquired Godewind portfolio)
- +2.9% in German Residential, driven by North Rhine-Westphalia (+3.8%)
- on Hotels activity, the like-for-like revenues decreased by 50.5% (-€28.7 million) due to:
- significant decrease in variable revenues, both on variables leases (-67%) and EBITDA from management contracts (-78%)
- hotels located in the UK leased to IHG, especially impacted by the strict lockdown in the country and the late lifting of restrictions. This should trigger a major underperformance clause (MAC clause) included in this contract. Covivio has decided not to account any rent on this portfolio as of end-June 2020
- on other leases, agreements reached with 8 operators enabled to limit the decrease to -1.9%

- • acquisitions (+€17.2 million) especially in German offices (+€15.0 million), with the acquisition of 10 assets through Godewind acquisition in H1 2020
- deliveries of new assets (+€5.3 million), mainly in France with 3 projects delivered in 2019 in major French cities and in Milan with the first building of The Sign project, fully pre-let
- asset disposals: (-€25.1 million), especially:
- in France Offices (-€6.7 million), most come from mature assets disposals in Greater Paris in 2019
- in Italy (-€10.1 million), mostly through the disposal of two portfolios of mature and non-core assets in 2019
- In German Residential (-€1.2 million)
- in Hotels (-€2.3 million) with the disposal of non-core assets in 2019 and 2020 (mostly B&B hotels)
- non-strategic assets (-€4.8 million) mainly retail in Italy and the remainder of our residential portfolio in France
- vacating for redevelopment (-€3.1 million), in Milan on a committed project in the CBD and in France in view of residential development
- other effects (-€6.8 million) mainly early release compensations received in 2019.

The average firm residual duration of leases is stable at 7.1 years at end-June 2020. The main changes are:
• the integration of the German office portfolio with a 5.1 firm lease duration
• offset by the agreements reached with 8 hotel operators including lease extension of 3.9 years on average (AccorInvest, B&B, NH, Barcelo, MotelOne, Meininger, Melia, HCI).

Out of the €53 million of expiries remaining in 2021, representing 7% of Covivio annualised revenues:
- 0.5% relate to tenants with no intent to vacate the property
- 4% relate to other assets in strategic locations such as Paris, the Inner ring, Milan CBD or German top cities.

1.1.2.2. Occupancy rate: 96.1%

| TOTAL STRATEGIC ACTIVITIES | 98.3% | 96.1% |
| Non-strategic | 96.8% | 97.8% |
| Total | 98.3% | 96.1% |
The occupancy rate stands at 96.1% for strategic activities given the integration of the German offices portfolio with an occupancy of 79%.
The German offices portfolio is affected by the termination of WeWork's lease contract in Düsseldorf (21,600 m2 on Herzog-Terrassen), on which a mutual financial agreement was reached. This termination has an impact of -12 pts on the German offices occupancy rate.
Excluding the new German offices activity, the occupancy rate stands at 97.5%, -0.8 pt compared to end-2019 taking into account some releases in France offices, where reletting was delayed due to the lockdown.

(1) Net provision/reversals of provision.
The increase in unpaid rents to 2.3% is mainly driven by the ground floor retail in the office and residential buildings and the non-strategic shopping centers in Italy. Overall cash impact of the granted incentives is €10 million.

❚ By activity

Covivio can rely on a strong tenant base, with 91% of large corporates in offices, resilient revenues in German residential and partnerships with major hotel operators in Hotels.
In 2020, Covivio continued its strategy of diversifying its tenant base, even more with the integration of the newly acquired German offices portfolio that enjoys a tenant base composed of 87% of large corporations. As a result, exposure to the three largest tenants decreased to 20% against 21% at end 2019.

The cost to revenue ratio (10.9%) increased by 1.9 pts compared to H1 2019, mainly due to:
• the integration of the German offices portfolio which has a cost to revenue ratio of 12%, due to current vacancy rate at end-June
• the increase in unpaid rent coming from retail in Italy and in France.

€1.4 billion (€1.2 million Group share) of investments were realised in the first half of the year 2020:
• the acquisition of a German offices portfolio for €1.0 billion Group share: 10 core office buildings through the takeover of Godewind. The portfolio is totaling 290,000 m2 located in the largest German cities: Frankfurt, Düsseldorf, Hamburg, and Munich.
89% of the share capital has been acquired through a public offer in the first semester and the remainder 11% could be acquired by the end of the year. At full occupancy, the yield reaches 4.7%
- Germany Residential: acquisition of two residential assets in Germany (in Berlin and Dresden) worth €11 million. These assets offer an attractive potential yield of 4.2%
- Capex in the development pipeline of €196 million (€162 million Group share), mostly related to development projects in Paris
and Milan and acquisitions of land banks in Berlin to fuel future Residential and Office developments
The target yield on this pipeline stands at 6.0%, and the target value creation above 30%.
As a reminder, at year-end 2019, Covivio signed an agreement for the acquisition of 8 hotels located in Rome, Venice, Florence, Prague, and Budapest for €248 million Group share including capex (€573 million at 100%). This 1,115 room-portfolio of high-end hotels, the majority of which hold 5-star-ratings in prime locations, include several iconic hotels such as the Palazzo Naiadi in Rome, the Carlo IV in Prague, the Plaza in Nice and the NY Palace in Budapest.
In parallel, Covivio and NH Hotel Group signed a long-term triple net lease of 15 years firm at a 4.7% yield.
Initially planned for April 2020, the operation was postponed to September 2020 under the same conditions.
1.1.7. Development projects: €8.6 billion (€6.9 billion Group share)
1.1.7.1. Deliveries: 23,000 m2 of offices delivered in the first half of 2020
In the first half of 2020, two projects have been delivered:
- the Sign A (9,300 m2 ) is a redeveloped asset located in the Navigli business district of Milan fully let to AON for their Italian headquarters
- the last part of Corso Ferrucci project in Turin (13,700 m2 ) was delivered in June. The asset is now fully delivered and 90% let to multiple tenants, including NTT Data who took 3,400 m2 in the first half of 2020.

1.1.7.2. Committed projects: €1.8 billion Group share pre-let at 75% for the next 12 months
In the first half of 2020, Covivio continued its investment effort on the committed development pipeline, with 41 projects in three European countries, of which 90% in Paris, Berlin and Milan. They will be completed between 2020 and 2023.
The lockdown period lasting from March to June in France, Italy and Germany had a limited impact on the pipeline: +3 months delay on average and a very marginal impact on costs (maximum 1%).
This committed pipeline is composed of:
- €2.0 billion (€1.6 billion in Group share) of Offices in France and Italy
- €256 million (€166 million in Group share) of residential in Germany
- €44 million (€44 million in Group share) of residential project in France, to be transformed from offices into residential assets.

1.1.7.3. Managed projects: €6 billion (€5 billion in Group share)
Following the review of its France office portfolio in 2019, Covivio strengthened its potential for future growth through a large pipeline of construction and redevelopment projects of €6 billion with target value creation >30%. The value potential on these projects will be extracted progressively in the short, medium and long term.
A large part of this pipeline is made-up of obsolete office buildings in Paris inner-city, currently let to Orange (€1.2 billion).
The next office projects are expected to be committed in 2020/2021 in central locations: "page 10"

The portfolio grew by €1.2 billion to €16.9 billion Group share (€25.3 billion in 100%) mostly with the acquisition of the German offices portfolio. At constant scope, Covivio proved its solidity with a +1.0% increase despite the difficult environment explained by:
- +4.2% like-for-like growth on German residential. All German cities where Covivio's residential portfolio is located showed life-for-like growth: in Berlin (+2.2%) despite the challenging regulatory environment, in North Rhine-Westphalia, the second largest exposure (+7.0%), Dresden & Leipzig (+6.8%) and Hamburg (+5.8%)
- +6% driven by the development pipeline, showing again the attractiveness of the locations chosen by Covivio for its projects
- -3.1% on Hotels, holding up reasonably well thanks to the rental agreements that have secured with 8 operators and despite uncertainty on future cash-flows.

1.2. BUSINESS ANALYSIS BY SEGMENT
The France Offices indicators are presented at 100% and in Group share (GS).
1.2.1. France Offices
1.2.1.1. Impact of the lockdown on the office market
Covivio's France Offices portfolio of €7.1 billion (€5.9 billion Group share) is located in strategic locations in Paris, in the major business districts of the Greater Paris area and the centers of major regional cities.
- Take-up in Paris region stood at 667,500 m2 in decline of 39% vs H1 2019. New and refurbished assets proved to be more resilient, in decline of only 18% (229,000 m2 ).
- Vacancy rate increased to 5.1% (vs. 4.9% at end-2019) and remains historically low in all areas.
- Available new or refurbished space remains scarce and accounts for less than 30% of the immediate supply in every area.
- Future available supply at end-March 2020 is up by 9% vs end-September 2019 with 2.4 million m2 stock under construction, of which 38% is pre-let:
- excluding La Défense, the pre-let ratio remains however stable at 45%
- in Covivio's markets, the future available supply tends to decrease: -38% in Levallois, -7% in Paris North 17th/Clichy/ Saint-Ouen, and -15% in Montrouge/Malakoff/Châtillon.
- Average headline rents on new or restructured space rose by 3% on average year-on-year in Greater Paris and secondhand space saw a stronger increase (+8%). Prime rents increased by 5% year-on-year in Paris reaching a record of €870 m2 /year, and 4% in La Défense (€540/m2 ).
- In H1 2020, investments in Greater Paris offices declined (-32% year-on-year) and totalled €6.0 billion, slightly below the 10-year average. There is still a significant gap between prime yields (decreasing to 2.75% in the CBD of Paris, 3.5% in Lyon) and the OAT 10-year (close to 0.01% in Q2 2020).
In the 2020 first half-year, the France Offices activity was characterised by:
- Resilient rental income growth of 1.0% on a like-for-like basis thanks to indexation.
- Acceleration of mature asset disposals with €239 million secured, essentially in Greater Paris and major regional cities:
- assets developed or redeveloped by Covivio between 2013 and 2019, offering strong value creation and confirming the success of Covivio's development strategy
- disposal margin of 11% illustrating the quality of Covivio's portfolio.
- +1.4% like-for-like value growth over 6 months, thanks mainly to value creation on our development projects.
- Partially owned assets are the following:
- CB 21 Tower (75% owned) in La Défense
- Carré Suffren (60% owned) in Paris
- The Eiffage and Dassault campuses in Vélizy (50.1% owned and fully consolidated)
- The Silex 1 and 2 assets in Lyon (50.1% owned and fully consolidated)
- So Pop project in Paris 17th (50% owned and fully consolidated)
- N2 Batignolles project in Paris 17th (50% owned and fully consolidated)
- The New Vélizy campus for Thales (50.1% owned and accounted for following the equity method)
- Euromed Centre in Marseille (50% owned and accounted for under the equity method)
- Bordeaux Armagnac (34.7% owned and accounted for under the equity method)
- Cœur d'Orly in Greater Paris (50% owned and accounted for under the equity method).

Overall, rental income decreased by 8.2% to €106 million Group share (-€9.4 million) as a result of:
- +€1.2 million from improved rental performance with +1.0% growth on a like-for-like basis, mostly driven by the indexation effect
- +€2.1 million from deliveries in major regional cities (Toulouse, Bordeaux, Lille)
- -€2.1 million from releases of assets, essentially for residential redevelopment in the second half of 2020, especially in the second ring of Paris
- -€6.7 million from disposals, mostly of mature assets in the Inner ring and in French regions (mainly Green Corner in Saint-Denis, Respiro in Nanterre and Quatuor in Lille region)
- -€2.5 million due to a one-shot indemnity received in H1 2019
- -€1.4 million related to other effects.

The occupancy rate remains high at 95.8% despite the lockdown's challenging letting market. It has remained above 95% since 2010, reflecting the Group's very good rental risk profile over the long term.
The slight decline (-1.3 pts) is due to some releases in Paris and La Défense, where surfaces have been partially relet despite the slowdown in the letting market, and to non-core assets in secondary locations.

The level of unpaid rent remains limited despite the Covid context, thanks to Covivio's strong exposure to large corporates. The level is below H1 2019, due a tenant bankruptcy last year on an asset in Boulogne.
1.2.1.8. Disposals and disposal agreements: €239 million secured in the first half of 2020

1 Business analysis by segment 2020 FIRST-HALF FINANCIAL REPORT

(1) LfL: Like-for-Like.
(2) Yield excluding assets under development.
Values increased by 1.4% during the semester on a like-for-like basis, further illustrating Covivio's secured profile in France Offices made up of:
• a dynamic development portfolio with significant value increase (+8.3%) explained by its strong and attractive locations. These locations resulted in strong catch-up in terms of capital value, confirming the potential of some of the most promising Greater Paris locations (Levallois, Châtillon, Montrouge, Paris 17th/Saint-Ouen)
1.2.1.11. Strategic segmentation of the portfolio
- The core portfolio is the strategic segment 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 development projects or making new investments.
- The portfolio of assets "under development" consists of assets subject to a development project. Such assets will become core assets once delivered. They concern:
- "committed" projects (appraised)
- land banks that may be undergoing appraisal
- "managed" projects vacated for short/medium term development (undergoing internal valuation).
- a resilient core portfolio with stable asset values (+0.4%) in tough economic times, thanks to the good asset profile (~5 years WALL and high occupancy) but also the secured disposal agreements of 3 prime assets.
- Non-core assets form a portfolio segment with a higher average yield than the overall office portfolio, but with smaller, liquid assets in local markets, allowing their possible progressive sale.

- Core assets represent 78% of the portfolio (Group share) at June 2020.
- The development portfolio value has increased sharply since H1 2019 and now represents 20% of the total portfolio, including 2% of residential development.
1.2.2. Italy Offices
1.2.2.1. Milan office market demonstrates strong resilience
Covivio's Italy strategy is focused on Milan, where the Group's acquisitions and developments are concentrated. At end-June 2020, the Group owned offices worth €3.6 billion (€3.0 billion Group share).
The Milan office leasing and investment market proved to be resilient in the first half of 2020:
• Milan office take-up stood at 160,000 m2 at end-June 2020, -30% year-on-year but on par with the 10-year average
❚ Milan prime rents and vacancy rates by submarkets
• Non-core assets now represent 2% of the portfolio, due to the disposals in French regions and the outer suburbs.
- the vacancy rate in Milan inner-city and semi-centre remained stable at 4.2%, but decreased on Grade A assets to 1.7% (-20 bps since end-2019)
- prime rents remain stable at €600/m2 in the CBD
- total investment volumes in Milan reached ~ €1.3 billion, up by 6.7% vs H1 2019 (€1.2 billion). Prime yields in Milan remain stable at 3.3% and investors have been focusing on core assets.


Covivio's activities in the first 6 months of 2020 were marked by:
- good rental growth on a like-for-like basis (+2.0%)
- sustained disposal activity, in line with Covivio's strategy to focus on Milan and crystallise the value creation realised on
mature assets, with €111 million of disposals agreements mainly in Milan with a 22% margin
• the delivery of the first building of the Sign project, a 9,300 m2 redevelopment project in Milan that was fully pre-let in 2019 to Covivio's long-term partner Aon.

The portfolio performed well from a rental perspective, with +2.0% LfL rental growth. Overall, rental income decreased by €8.7 million compared to the first half of 2019 due to:
• the disposal of non-core assets mainly in 2019 (-€10.1 million)
• the like-for-like rental growth of +2.0% (+€1.2 million) thanks to the performance of Milan offices (+3.3%)
- acquisitions realised in 2019 (+€0.2 million) and deliveries (+€2.1 million including The Sign Building A, Milan)
- vacating for development (-€1.2 million), mainly on Via Unione in Milan CBD
- early termination of a retail lease on Via Dante, one the most sought-after areas in Milan (-€1.0 million).

- 1,500 m2 were let or renewed in Milan.
2,250 m2 were vacated during the first half of 2020 in central locations of Milan:
- around 930 m2 relate to the departure of a tenant in Milan, Via Dante, one of Milan's most sought-after retail streets
- 1,290 m2 relate to the departure of tenants in assets in Milan, including Via Dell Unione (already re-let).

The firm residual lease term remains stable and high at 7.1 years.
In 2020, the €12.8 million of lease expiries (9% of Italy office rents/1.8% of Covivio annualised revenues) include:
- 5% are on assets to be redeveloped mainly in Milan CBD (Corso Italia)
- 2% are mainly related to break options that the tenant will not exercise
• 2% are to be managed and related to core assets in Milan. In 2021, the €10.4 million of lease expiries (8% of Italy Office rents/1.4% of Covivio revenues) include:
• 6% are related to core assets in Milan CBD
• 2% are related to non-core assets.
In addition, 10 leases were renegotiated 20,000 m2 in the context of the Covid pandemic. Rent free periods were granted for the duration of the lockdown in exchange of lease extensions (up to 3 years). Thanks to these lease extensions, the renegotiations had a slightly positive impact on IFRS rent (+0.2%).

| TOTAL | 98.7% | 97.8% |
The occupancy rate of offices excluding Telecom Italia assets has decreased and stands at 96.8% (-1.3 pts compared to year-end-2019) mainly because of the release of retail tenant in Milan, Via Dante, which benefits from a location in one of Milan's most sought-after retail streets.

In H1 2020, Covivio secured €111 million Group share of new disposal agreements. The disposals of non-core assets outside Milan are in line with Covivio's strategy to focus on the city. Covivio is also taking the most out of the asset rotation potential offered by Milan dynamism with the disposal of mature assets:
- the +27% margin (based on end-2019 appraisal) illustrates Milan dynamic market and investors' appetite for core assets in prime locations.
- it demonstrates Covivio's deep knowledge in redevelopment but also its ability to attract strong tenants and build a unique core portfolio
1.2.2.9. Development pipeline: €0.8 billion of projects (€0.8 billion Group share)
Covivio has around €0.8 billion of pipeline in Italy, focused on Milan, facing high demand for new or restructured spaces. The Group has boosted its development capacity since 2015, with seven committed projects as of end June 2020, which will drive the Group's growth in the coming years.
1.2.2.9.1. Delivered projects
In the first half of 2020, two projects have been delivered:
- The Sign building A in Milan (9,300 m2 ): the first building of the redevelopment project on Via Schievano area in Milan, fully let to Aon for their Italian headquarters.
- The last part of Corso Ferrucci project in Turin (13,700 m2 ) was delivered in June. The asset is now fully delivered and 90% let to multiple tenants, including NTT Data which leased 3,400 m2 in the first half 2020.

1.2.2.9.2. Committed projects: €338 million
For detailed figures on the committed projects, see page 9 of this document.
65,100 m2 are under construction in Milan, with 7 projects in the CBD of Milan and the Symbiosis and Schievano area. Thanks to the quality of the locations and of the buildings, the pre-let ratio is close to 100% on the projects to be delivered in the next 12-monts, and at 59% overall.
The projects include:



: third building of the
• Symbiosis School – 7,900 m2 : a NACE Schools building, one of the six largest groups of private international schools in the world

- the non-Telecom Italia Milan offices proved again their dynamism and confirmed their strong resilience (+1.1% likefor-like increase)
- Milan values were slightly affected by the high street retail performance (-2.5%).
- Telecom Italia showed stability again (-0.3%), relying on its strong fundamentals:
- 11 years average lease term
- 100% occupancy.
- Non-core office assets (outside Milan) suffered during the semester (-2.4%). Covivio is therefore focusing again on the disposal of these non-core assets.

1.2.3. Germany Offices
Since 2019, Covivio reinforced its presence in German Offices, capitalising on its existing platform with local teams, €200 million of existing assets in Berlin and a flagship development project in Alexanderplatz.
Three acquisitions were realised in Berlin end-2019, and Covivio accelerated its strategy early 2020 by acquiring 10 office assets located in Frankfurt, Düsseldorf, Hamburg and Munich through the public offer and delisting of Godewind Immobilien AG
1.2.3.1. German offices market: sound fundamentals in the top 7 cities(1)
- Take-up in German's top seven markets fell by 33% in H1 2020 year-on-year to 1.3 million m2 . In all seven cities the trend was negative for this semester: Berlin (-15%), Hamburg (-45%), Munich (-23%).
- Immediate supply remains scarce with a vacancy rate at 3.1%, having increased slightly vs 2019 (+0.2 pt).
- Future supply is also very limited with around 5 million m2 under construction until 2022:
- pre-let ratio remains high at 60%, including 80% for the remaining 2020 deliveries
- consequently, future available space until 2022 represents only 2% of the current existing stock.
(renamed Covivio Office AG). The acquisition, announced on 13 February, was closed on 14 May with the company's delisting. Today Covivio owns 89.3% of share capital while a 10% put option to outside shareholders was granted.
Today Covivio boasts a strong German office platform of 27 assets worth €1.7 billion (€1.4 billion Group share), located in the top 5 German cities (Berlin, Frankfurt, Düsseldorf, Hamburg and Munich).
- Prime rents remained stable overall but average rent grew in Berlin (+6%) and Munich (+10%).
- Investments in German offices remained stable at €8.8 billion (-1%) compared to H1 2019.
During the first half of 2020, Covivio's German offices activity was characterised by:
- successful integration of Godewind portfolio and teams
- appraisal value of the portfolio at end-June 3% above the acquisition price
- financial agreement reached with WeWork for the termination of a firm lease contract in Düsseldorf.

The German offices rental income grew by €15 million in Group share compared to H1 2019, thanks to the acquisition of the 10 offices portfolio. The rental income deriving from this portfolio was consolidated at 44.9% in the first quarter and at 89.3% in the second quarter following the completion of the public offer.
At a like-for-like scope, the performance of +2.8% shows the positive trend of the German office market supported by a low vacancy rate and increasing rents.

1.2.3.8. Acquisition

Munich – Eight Dornach et sunsquare
Early 2020, Covivio consolidated its strategic position on the dynamic German office market by acquiring 10 office assets valued at €1.2 billion (€1.1 billion in Group share). The portfolio is made up of 10 assets totalling 290,000 m2 and are located in Frankfurt, Düsseldorf, Hamburg, and Munich. The acquisition was completed through the public offer and delisting of Godewind Immobilien AG (renamed Covivio Office AG). The appraisal value at end-June 2020 is 3% above the acquisition price.

1.2.3.9. Development pipeline: €1.3 billion of managed projects (€0.8 billion Group share)
Capitalising on its development expertise and successful track record in France, Italy and Germany, Covivio is also implementing its development strategy in German offices, relying on its existing development team.
3 projects in Berlin:





The development projects managed to date represent around €800 million Group share of estimated costs and are made up of 5 projects representing ~168,000 m2 . They are located essentially in Berlin (80%) and Leipzig and Munich (20%).
The target yield on cost is above 5%.
• Alexanderplatz, 60,000 m2 : landmark project in the heart of Berlin on a land bank adjacent to the Park Inn hotel. The project will offer ~60,000 m2 of mixed-use space (office, residential, retail) and will be delivered in 2024. The prebuilding permit was already obtained in 2019 and the project is expected to be committed around end-2020/2021.
The land bank also offers an additional 70,000 m2 constructability to be exploited in the long term.
- Schöneberg district, 13,100 m2 : office project expected to be completed in 2023, on an asset acquired in 2019 with significant redevelopment potential. The prebuilding permit has already been obtained.
- Adlershof district, 7,700 m2 : office project to begin around end-2021 or 2022, on a land bank acquired end-2019 as well.
• Munich, 20,000 m2 : land bank adjacent to the Munich Sunsquare asset acquired early 2020.
• Leipzig, 30,000 m2 : office project to build two office towers on a land bank next to the Westin hotel in Leipzig. The results of the architectural competition were released in June 2020. This project illustrates the synergies between Covivio's products, using its development expertise in offices and its local platform in Germany to extract the maximum value from its portfolio.

Covivio German office portfolio now reached a critical size with €1.7 billion of assets and boasts strong fundamentals:
- strategic locations in the center of Germany top 5 cities
- a balanced portfolio of existing assets and development projects in Berlin, Leipzig and Munich at yield-on-cost of more than 5%
- a current valuation standing at 4,100 €/m2 on existing assets, that appears still below most European office hubs, and still offers catch-up potential even more given the very preliminary stage of developments
- the like-for-like performance (+2.6%) excludes the recently acquired portfolio but gives however a good insight into the dynamism of the office platform. As for acquired assets, the portfolio value has already exceeded the acquisition price and still holds potential via the expected vacancy reduction.

1.2.4. Germany Residential
Covivio operates in the German Residential segment through its 61.7% held subsidiary Covivio Immobilien. The figures presented are expressed as 100% and as Covivio Group share. The figures presented also exclude the Germany Offices activity which is presented independently in this report (see section 1.2.3).
1.2.4.1. Widening housing shortage and resilient market
In February 2020, the city of Berlin implemented a law to freeze the housing rents for five years and set rent caps on most residential units. This law is being challenged in court: on 6 May 2020, CDU/CSU and FDP members of the Federal Parliament brought legal action before the Federal Constitutional Court against this new Berlin regulation, considering that it is not compatible with the German constitution. The judicial review in ongoing with a ruling expected within 24 months.
For additional details on the application of this law and its impacts on Covivio's residential activity refer to section 2.4 of this chapter.
- The housing shortage continues to widen in Germany: ~400,000 new units are needed each year against 293,000 new deliveries in 2019. The situation is especially dire in Berlin, where the existing housing shortage is estimated at more than 200,000 units and where the constructions remained stable in 2019 at ~16,900 units.
- In Berlin:
- the average asking price on new buildings spiked by about 10% to 17.6 €/m2 in H1 2020 (year-on-year). The existing buildings' asking rents grew by only +1.9% to 11.45 €/m2 due to the new regulation
❚ Housing Gap in Berlin
Berlin's apartment construction has failed to keep pace with population growth.

In the first half of 2020, Covivio's activities were marked by:
- a +2.9% increase in rental income on a like-for-life basis, driven by NRW, Hamburg, Dresden & Leipzig (+3.6% on average)
- +4.2% increase in values on a like-for-like basis on the overall portfolio and +2.2% increase in Berlin despite the Mietendeckel and the Covid-19's impact.
Covivio owns around ~41,000 apartments located in Berlin, Hamburg, Dresden, Leipzig and North Rhine-Westphalia, representing €6.4 billion (€4.1 billion Group share) of assets.
• the average asking price for new buildings rose by 4.3% to around 6,530 €/m2 in H1 2020.
On the existing buildings segment, the average asking price grew by 8.2% to 4,850 €/m2 , significantly above the current valuation of Covivio's portfolio (2,860 €/m2 in Berlin on residential units)
- Overall, in Germany:
- rents have slightly risen by an average of 2.6% to 8.3€ (latest available data Q1 2020 vs. Q1 2019)
- the average asking price grew by 14% (Q1 2020 vs Q1 2019).
- In the first half of 2020, investment volumes in the German residential market grew by +96% compared to H1 2019 to reach €12.5 billion (accounting largely for the acquisition of Adler Real Estate). Despite an overall decline in Q2 2020 (€3.2 billion below the quarterly average volume of €4.1 billion), the investments were already above the 5-year monthly average in June (€1.7 billion vs. €1.4 billion) and rising demand from investors is supporting the investment market.

Rental income amounted to €79 million Group share in H1 2020, up 2.9% (+€2.2 million) due to:
- in Berlin, the like-for-like rental growth continues to be positive at +2.3% at half-year 2020 but slowing vs previous years due to the implementation of the new regulation (Mietendeckel)
- outside Berlin, the like-for-like rental growth was strong in all areas (+3.6% on average) mainly due to the reletting impact and driven mostly by NRW (+3.8%)
- 2019 and 2020 acquisitions (+€1.5 million)
- disposals (-€1.2 million) mainly involving the last portfolios of non-core assets in North Rhine-Westphalia and mature assets in Berlin.

(1) Ground floor retail, car parks, etc.
The portfolio breakdown has been stable since year-end-2019, with Berlin generating around half of the rental income, through residential units and some commercial units (mainly ground floor retail).
Rental income per m2 (€7.4/m2 /month on average) offers solid growth potential through reversion, especially in Hamburg (20-25%), in Dresden and Leipzig (15-20%) and in North Rhine-Westphalia (15-20%).

1.2.4.4. Indexation
The rental income from residential property in Germany changes according to three mechanisms:
Rents for re-leased properties
In principle, rents may be increased freely.
As an exception to that unrestricted rent setting principle, cities like Hamburg, Cologne, Düsseldorf have introduced rent caps ("Mietpreisbremse") for re-leased properties. In these cities, rents for re-leased properties cannot exceed the public rent reference ("Mietspiegel") by more than 10%.
If construction works result in an increase in the value of the property (work amounting to more than 1/3 of new construction costs), the rent for re-let property may be increased by a maximum of 8% of the cost of the work.
In the event of complete modernisation (work amounting to more than 1/3 of new construction costs), the rent may be increased freely.
For current leases
The current rent may be increased by 15% to 20% depending on the region, however without exceeding the Mietspiegel or another rent benchmark. This increase may only be applied every three years.
For current leases with works carried out
If work has been carried out, rent may be increased by up to 8% of the amount of said work, in addition to the possible increase according to the rent index. This increase is subject to three conditions:
- the works aim at saving energy, increase the utility value, or improve the living conditions in the long run
- the tenant must be notified of this rent increase within three months
- the rent may not increase by more than €3/m2 for modernisations within a 6 years-period (€2/m2 if the initial rent is below €7/m2 ).
1.2.4.5. Occupancy rate: a high level of 98.4%
In February, the city of Berlin implemented a new law to freeze & cap the rents of most residential units:
- freeze on existing rents for 5 years (i.e. until February 2025). An increase may be possible from 2022, up to the level of the inflation (about 1.3%) without exceeding the rent ceilings. Rent ceilings can be increased by the Berlin Senate in line with real wages increase two years after the law is enacted
- reversal of rent increases since 18 June 2019 back to the rent levels agreed as of that date, except for new leases signed subsequent to that date
- application of a rent cap, for reletting and current leases, defined according to the year of construction of the building and the equipment of the dwelling
- excessive rent above 120% of the rent ceiling to be reduced to the 120% level, adjusted for the quality of the location, probably applicable from the last quarter of 2020
- increase in rents in case of energetic modernisation or upgrading to accessibility standards for people with reduced mobility: +€1/m2
- housings built after 2014, public housings and subsidised housings are excluded.
The law is being challenged in court: on 6 May 2020, CDU/ CSU and FDP members of the Federal Parliament brought legal action before the Federal Constitutional Court against this new Berlin law, considering that this law is not compatible with the German constitution.
The estimated impacts for Covivio on the rental income will be fairly limited, as Berlin residential rents accounts for only 9% of Covivio total annualised revenue in Group share:
- freeze of existing rents
- impact of rent decrease:
- in 2020: -€1.5 million to -€1.9 million Group share
- in 2021: -€6.0 million vs 2020
- Cumulative impact representing ~1% of Covivio annualised rent at end-June 2020.

1.2.4.9. Development projects: €0.8 billion pipeline
In response to the supply/demand imbalance in new housing in Berlin, Covivio launched a residential development pipeline in 2017. A total of €790 million has been identified for new housing extensions, redevelopments, and new construction projects.
This pipeline will enable Covivio to maximise value creation in its portfolio. Part of the units developed will remain in the portfolio and will be let with a yield on cost of around 5%. The other part will be sold in order to unlock the value creation with an expected margin above 40%.

1.2.4.9.1. Committed projects: €256 million (€166 million Group share)
For detailed figures on the committed projects, see page 9 of this document.

Covivio's residential portfolio in Germany is valued at €2,223/m2 on average, offering significant growth potential, especially in Berlin where the current valuation of the residential units stands at €2,860/m2 , significantly below the average asking price of condominiums (€4,850/m2 at June-2020).
In the first half of 2020, values increased by +4.2% on a likefor-like basis since year-end-2019 which represents yet another dynamic period of growth:
• +2.2% in Berlin after excellent performance in 2019 (+11%), mainly due to the increase in values in highly sought-after locations
1.2.4.11. Maintenance and modernisation Capex
despite the impact of the Covid-19. The Mietendeckel impact still does not stop the values from growing given the strong Berlin market fundamentals
- Hamburg (+5.8%) and Dresden and Leipzig (+6.8%) generated good performance and growth in value and rental income
- the increase in values in North Rhine-Westphalia (+7.0% vs. +4.6% in H1 2019) shows the improved quality of the portfolio, following the modernisation and non-core asset disposal programmes.
In the first half 2020, €42 million in Capex (€14.8/m2 ) and €8.5 million in Opex (€3.0/m2 ) were realised, in line with the Capex spent in H1 2019.
Modernisation Capex, used to improve asset quality and increase rental income, accounts for 50% of the total. In Berlin, the modernisation Capex was reduced by 11% in €/m2 compared to H1 2019 due to the new regulation.


1.2.5. Hotels in Europe
Covivio Hotels, a subsidiary of Covivio held at 43.3% at halfyear 2020, is a listed property investment company (SIIC) and leading real estate player in Europe. It invests both in hotels under lease and hotel operating properties.
The figures presented are expressed at 100% and in Covivio Group share (GS).
1.2.5.1. Market: an unprecedented crisis
After a positive year in 2019 (+2.7% in RevPar) for the European hotel market, the Covid-19 outbreak deeply impacted the beginning of 2020. The different lockdown measures and travel restrictions forced many European hotels to close.
Covivio owns a high-quality hotel portfolio worth €6.2 billion (€2.4 billion in Group share) and focused on major European cities let or operated by 15 major hotel operators such as AccorInvest, B&B, IHG, NH Hotels, etc. This portfolio offers geographic and tenant diversification (across 9 Western European countries) and asset management possibilities via different ownership methods (hotel lease and hotel operating properties).
- Serious implications of lockdown and travel restrictions across Europe from the month of March to June
- Revenue per available room (RevPar) in Europe fell by -57%(1), driven by a decline in occupancy rate (-36.6 pts). An even further drop of -95% was recorded during April and May.

❚ RevPar evolution since 2000
(Source: MKG/Olakala)
In the first half of 2020, Covivio's hotel activity was strongly impacted by the Covid-19 outbreak:
- at the peak of the crisis, only 22% of the hotel portfolio was open(2). Since then, the easing of lockdown measures enabled hotels to reopen progressively. As of 30 June, 65% of the portfolio is open but occupancy rates remain limited (between 10% and 20%)
- as a long-term partner of major hotel companies, Covivio accompanied its hotel operators by reaching agreements with 8 hotel operators (on lease contracts) in order to:
- help them get through the crisis by granting payment facilities to relieve their cash
- secure lease length: the total lease duration extended to 14.7 years thanks to an agreement reached with 8 hotels operators including an extension of 3.9 years on average
- limit P&L impact: €-0.2 million IFRS rent Group share
- protect the value of the assets
- LfL values decreased by only -3.1%, thanks to the quality of the portfolio located for 87% in major regional cities and to the agreements secured with the hotel operators.
Assets not wholly owned by Covivio Hotels include:
- 8 operating properties in Germany (94.9% owned)
- 90 B&B hotels in France (50.2%)
- 11 B&B assets in Germany (93.0%)
- 8 B&B assets in Germany, 5 of them held at 84.6% and the other 3 at 90.0%
- 2 Motel One assets in Germany (94.0%)
- Club Med Samoëns (50.1%)
- 32 AccorInvest assets in France (30 assets) and Belgium (2 assets), owned at respectively 31.2% (26 assets) and 33.3% (6 assets).

Hotel revenue decreases by €30.6 million Group share compared to 2019, due to:
• leased hotels:
- the AccorInvest hotel portfolio (24% of the hotel portfolio), which are indexed on hotels turnover degraded by 66% compared to half-2019, due to the complete shutdown of a large part of the hotel properties from mid-March until the end of May. These midscale and economy hotels are located in France and Belgium
- hotels located in the UK (15% of the hotel portfolio), leased to IHG were directly impacted by the administrative closure of hotels from 25 March to 4 July in Great Britain and 15 July in Scotland. Only 4 of the 12 hotels owned by Covivio are expected to reopen in July. These exceptional events and major loss in turnover for the hotels should trigger an underperformance (MAC) clause included in this contract. This clause reduces the rent when the loss of the NOI of the hotels is higher than 1/3 of the annual rent. Notwithstanding €10 million of rents received in Q1 and considering the
performances expectations of this portfolio, Covivio has decided not to account for any rent on this portfolio as of end-June 2020
- other leases: agreements with operators enabled to limit the decrease to €-0,2 million. This decrease is also explained by a transition period between two tenants for a hotel in Madrid
- operating hotels: mainly located in Germany and in the North of France. The majority of the hotels were closed during the lockdown and lost consequently 78% of EBITDA compared to half-2019. The first semester also includes a €3.2 million reversal of provisions made on past accounting periods given the signature of an amendment to the management contract of the Pullman Roissy Airport hotel
- disposals, both in 2019 and 2020, including the B&B Portfolio in France (€-1.7 million) and in Germany (€-0.4 million)
- acquisitions in 2019 of B&B hotels in Poland (+€0.3 million)
- delivery of 2 Meininger hotels in France (+€0.9 million) and one in Germany (+€0.2 million).

At the end of June 2020, Covivio held a unique hotel portfolio of €2,392 million (€6,218 million at 100%) in Europe. This strategic portfolio is characterised by:
- high-quality locations: 87% in the centre of major European cities
- major hotel operators with long-term leases: 15 hotel operators with 14.7 years average lease duration
- hotels with a good profitability profile: 1.8x rent coverage in 2019.
These strong operating fundamentals supported the slight LfL value decrease of -3.1%. The decrease splits between:
- variable income assets fell by 3.3.% due to rents fully based on hotel turnover and hence strongly impacted for the next couple of years:
- -3.3% on the AccorInvest portfolio located in France and Belgium
- -2.8% on operating assets in Germany
- fixed leased hotels: value remained relatively stable (-0.8%) mainly thanks to the negotiated extension of the leases' duration which supports the value of the assets for a longer period
- UK portfolio: -7.6% on these 12 assets leased to IHG. Due to the longer lockdown period and impact on the rent forecasts.

| (€M) – Group share | H1 2019 | H1 2020 | var. | % |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| France Offices | 106.3 | 96.8 | -9.5 | -8.9% |

| NET REVENUE | 317.7 | 279.9 | -37.7 | -11.9% |
France Offices: decrease mainly due to the sale of assets in 2019.
Italy Offices: decrease due to the disposals in secondary locations outside Milan and non-strategic retail assets in 2019.
Germany Offices: €13.3 million of additional net rental income on the new German activity, driven mainly by the acquired portfolio.
German Residential: increase driven by rental growth (+€3 million) partly offset by disposals of assets (-€1 million).
Hotels in Europe: activity significantly hit by the coronavirus crisis, with a €20 million drop in revenues.

1.3.3.2. EBITDA from the hotel operating activity and flex-office
€4.7 million contains flex-office activity (€3.2 million of EBITDA), and hotel operating activity (€1.4 million). EBITDA from flex activity increases slightly thanks to the ramp up of this activity, while hotel operating activities declined significantly (-89%) because of the Hotels closure during general lockdowns.
1.3.3.3. Income from other activities
Net income from other activities comes from the income generated by car park companies (€2 million) and property development activity (€5 million).
The decrease of -€1.3 million is mainly due to car park activity which has been impacted by the lockdown.
1.3.3.4. Net operating costs
-€38.9 million including +€12.3 million of property management fees.
Net operating costs increase (+5.6%) under the effect of:
- the integration of the former Godewind teams in German offices
- a decrease of staff costs on the other activities
- a decrease of property fees re-invoicing, following the fees on the disposal of the B&B assets in 2019.
1.3.3.5. Amortisation of operating assets
Note that this item includes the amortisation linked to the right of use according to the standard IFRS 16. This amortisation of right of use is mainly related to the owner-occupied buildings and headquarters.
1.3.3.6. Net change in provision and other
Before application of the standard IFRS 16, ground lease expenses and ground lease recharge were reported inside the net rental income. Because of the application of IFRS16- Leases, there is no longer ground lease expense (this expense is replaced by interests charge), therefore the ground lease recharge is reported in the caption "Net change in provision and other" so as to not increase artificially the Net rental income.
1.3.3.7. Net income from inventory properties
This item refers to the trading activity mainly in Italy.
1.3.3.8. Income from asset disposals & disposal of securities
Income from asset disposals (in asset or share transactions) contributed -€6.2 million during the year. This loss is mainly due to a guarantee to pay in connection with a sale of retail asset made in 2018, in connection with the impacts of the lockdown.
1.3.3.9. Change in the fair value of assets
The income statement recognises changes in the fair value (+€155 million) of assets based on appraisals conducted on the portfolio.
This line item does not include the change in fair value of assets recognised at amortised cost under IFRS but are taken into account in the EPRA NAV calculation (hotel operating properties, flex-office assets and other own-occupied buildings).
For more details on the evolution of the portfolio by activity, see section 1.1 of this document.
1.3.3.10. Income from changes in scope and other
This item negatively impacted the income statement by -€12 million. It includes costs linked to the acquisition a German offices, listed company.
1.3.3.11. Cost of net financial debt
The cost of net financial debt decreased thanks to the continuous debt restructuring efforts. This line was impacted last year by €11.5 million of early reimbursement, while this year these costs are equal to €4.8 million.
1.3.3.12. Interest charges linked to finance lease liability
The Group rents some lands. According to the IFRS 16 standards, such rental costs are stated as interest charges. The interest charges mainly refer to Hotel activity -€2.8 million.
1.3.3.13. Value adjustment on derivatives
The fair value of financial instruments (hedging instruments and ORNANE) was negatively impacted by decreasing interest rates. For the first half year of 2020, the P&L impact is a charge of -€67 million while first half year 2019 it was -€147 million.

1.4. FINANCIAL RESOURCES
Summary of the financial activity
Covivio is rated BBB+ stable outlook by S&P. After the annual review, S&P confirmed the rating in early May.
At end-June 2020, the Loan-to-Value ratio of Covivio stood at 41.1% close to its 40% policy, well under control thanks to active asset rotation and financial discipline with a capital increase (scrip dividend). Main effects on LTV:
- acquisition realised in German offices this semester (€1.1 billion Group share) and continued investment in the development pipeline (€162 million)
- €400 million of disposals signed this semester with 15% margin above appraisal values. Further disposals are expected in the second semester with a target of >€600 million Group share for 2020.
- the success of the dividend payment in shares, chosen by 82% of shareholders (€343 million capital increase).
The liquidity position is also strong, with €2.0 billion available at end-June on COVIVIO SA, including €1.4 billion of undrawn credit lines and €0.6 billion of cash.
To further improve its financial profile, Covivio issued a €500 million bond in May with a 10 years maturity, dedicated to refinance short term maturities. It was issued with a 1.625% coupon and was close to 5 times oversubscribed.

As regards the commitments attributable to the Group, the share of corporate debts (bonds and loans) remained stable at 54% at end-June 2020 compared to end-2019. Additionally, Covivio had €1.3 billion in commercial paper outstanding at 30 June 2020.
❚ Group share commitments by type

❚ Group share commitments by company


1.4.3. Debt maturity
The average maturity of Covivio's debt remained relatively stable at 6.1 years at end-June 2020 (excluding commercial paper). Until 2024, there is no major maturity that has not already been covered or is already under renegotiation.
The next biggest maturities occur in 2024 and are mainly composed of a bond of €300 million (issue in 2017 with a coupon rate of 1.625%) and a mortgage debt of €285 million Group share linked to the Telecom Italia portfolio.
❚ Debt amortisation schedule by company € million (Group share)

1.4.4. Hedging profile
At end-June 2020, the hedging management policy remained unchanged, with debt hedged at 90% 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 30 June 2020, Covivio is hedged at 82% with an average term of the hedges of 7.3 years Group share.

❚ Hedging maturities € billion, Group share
1.4.5. Average interest rate on the debt and sensitivity
The average interest rate on Covivio's debt decreased significantly by 24 bps at 1.31% in Group share. For information purposes, an increase of 25 basis points in the three-month Euribor rate would have a negative impact of 0.6% on the EPRA Earnings.
1.4.5.1. Financial structure
Excluding debts raised without recourse to the Group's property companies, the debts of Covivio and its subsidiaries generally include bank covenants (ICR and LTV) applying to the borrower's consolidated financial statements. If these covenants are breached, early debt repayment may be triggered. These covenants are established on a Group share basis for Covivio and on a consolidated or Group share basis depending on the debt anteriority for Covivio Hotels and the other subsidiaries of Covivio (if their debt includes them).
- The most restrictive consolidated LTV covenants amounted, at 31 December 2019, to 60% for Covivio and Covivio Hotels.
- The most restrictive ICR consolidated covenants applicable to the REITs are as follows:
- for Covivio: 200%
- for Covivio Hotels: 200%.
With respect to Covivio Immobilien (German Residential), for which almost all of the debt raised is "non-recourse" debt, portfolio financings do not contain any consolidated covenants.

Lastly, with respect to Covivio, some corporate credit facilities are subject to the following ratios:
| Ratio | Covenant | H1 2020 |
|---|---|---|
| LTV | 60.0% | 44.5%(1) |
| ICR | 200% | 610% |
| Secured debt ratio | 25.0% | 4.6% |
(1) Excluding duties and sales agreements.
All covenants were fully complied with at end June-2019. No loan has an accelerated payment clause contingent on Covivio's rating, which is currently BBB+, Stable outlook (S&P rating).

1.5.8.1. Reconciliation between shareholder's equity and EPRA NAV
Valuations are carried out in accordance with the Code of conduct applicable to SIICs and the Charter of property valuation expertise, the recommendations of the COB/CNCC working group chaired by Mr Barthès de Ruyter and the international plan in accordance with the standards of the International Valuation Standards Council (IVSC) and those of the Red Book of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS).
The real estate portfolio held directly by the Group was valued on 30 June 2020 by independent real estate experts such as Cushman, REAG, CBRE, HVS, JLL, BNPP Real Estate, MKG and CFE. This did not include:
- assets on which the sale has been agreed, which are valued at their agreed sale price
- assets owned for less than 75 days, for which the acquisition value is deemed to be the market value.
Assets were estimated at values excluding and/or including duties, and rents at market value. Estimates were made using the comparative method, the rent capitalisation method and the discounted future cash flow method.
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 co-owned with other investors, only the Group share was taken into account.
1.5.9. New EPRA NAV metrics
According to Epra Best Practices Recommendations, Covivio Group presents new Net Assets Value metrics that will replace EPRA NAV and NNNAV in the publication of the 2020 full year results, in early 2021:
- the EPRA net Reinstatement Value: assumes that entities never sell assets and aims to represent the value required to rebuild the entity, including duties
- the EPRA Net tangible Assets: assumes that entities buy and sell assets, thereby crystallising certain levels of unavoidable deferred tax.
For this purpose the Group uses the following method:
1.5.8.2. 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 €86.4 million value adjustment was recognised in EPRA NNNAV.
1.5.8.3. 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 €26.4 million on the 30 June 2020.
1.5.8.4. Fair value adjustment for own occupied buildings and operating hotel properties
In accordance with IAS 40, owner-occupied buildings and operating hotel properties are not recognised at fair value in the consolidated financial statements. In line with EPRA principles, EPRA NNNAV was adjusted for the difference resulting from the fair value appraisal of the assets for €30.6 million. The market value of these assets is determined by independent experts.
1.5.8.5. 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 was adjusted for the fair value of fixed-rate debt. The impact was -€171,7 million at 30 June 2020.
1.5.8.6. Recalculation of the base cost excluding duties of certain assets
When a company, rather than the asset that it holds, can be sold, transfer duties are re-calculated based on the company's net asset value (NAV). The difference between these re-calculated duties and the transfer duties already deducted from the value had an impact of €44.9 million at 30 June 2020.
- offices: takes into account 50% of deferred tax considering the regular asset rotation policy
- hotels: takes into account deferred tax on the non-core part of the portfolio, expected to be sold within the next few years
- residential: includes the deferred tax linked to the building classified as Assets available held for sale, considering the low level of asset rotation in this activity
- the EPRA Net Disposal Value: represents the shareholder's value under a disposal scenario, where deferred tax, financial instruments and certain other adjustments are calculated to the full extent of their liability, net of any resulting tax.

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 Covivio Group at 30 June 2020 were prepared in accordance with the international accounting standards and interpretations issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and adopted by the European Union as of the preparation date. These standards include the IFRS (International Financial Reporting Standards) and their interpretations.
The financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on 21 July 2020.
Accounting principles and methods used
The accounting principles applied for the condensed consolidated financial statements as at 30 June 2020 are identical to those used for the consolidated financial statements as at 31 December 2019, except for new standards and amendments whose application was mandatory on or after 1 January 2020 and which were not applied early by the Group.
The following amendments, which are mandatory as of 1 January 2020, did not have any impact on the Group's consolidated financial statements:
- amendments to references to the IFRS conceptual framework, adopted by the European Union, took place on 29 November 2019
- amendments to IAS 1 and IAS 8 "Definition of Material", adopted by the European Union on 29 November 2019
- amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39 and IFRS 7 related to the "interbank benchmark rate reform", adopted by the European Union on 15 January 2020
- amendment to IFRS 3 "Definition of a business", adopted on 21 April 2020.
The following amendments, awaiting adoption by the European Union, but for which early application is possible as at 1 June 2020, did not have any impact on the Group's consolidated financial statements:
• amendments to IFRS 16 "Covid 19-related rent concessions", published on 28 May 2020. This amendment offers lessees, and only lessees, exemption from assessing whether Covid 19-related rent concessions are lease modifications. This practical exemption enables tenants to account for Covid 19-related rent concessions as if they are not lease modifications, and to recognise the impact of rent concessions in net income for the period.
New standards awaiting adoption by the European Union, for which application is possible as of 1 January 2020, but which have not been early adopted by the Group:
- amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28 "Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and its Associate or Joint Venture", published on 11 September 2014
- amendments to IAS 37 "Onerous Contracts—Cost of Fulfilling a Contract", published on 14 May 2020; the effective date is 1 January 2022 according to the IASB. These amendments standardise practices in terms of identifying and measuring provisions for onerous contracts, in particular with regard to losses on completion recognised on contracts concluded with customers pursuant to IFRS 15.
IFRS standards and amendments published by the IASB not authorised for financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2020:
- IFRS 17 "Insurance contracts", published on 18 May 2017; According to the IASB, the amendments will come into force on 1 January 2023. 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
- amendments to IAS 1 "Presentation of Financial Statements – Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-Current", published on 23 January 2020; the effective date is 1 January 2022 according to the IASB
- amendments to IAS 16 "Property, Plant and Equipment Proceeds before Intended Use", published on 14 May 2020; the effective date is 1 January 2022 according to the IASB
- amendments to IFRS 3 "Reference to the Conceptual Framework", published on 14 May 2020; the effective date is 1 January 2022 according to the IASB
- annual improvements (2018-2020 cycle) "Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2018-2020 Cycle), published on 14 May 2020; the effective date is 1 January 2022 according to the IASB.
2.2.1.2. Estimates and judgements
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 recognised 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 Covivio Group in preparing the financial statements mainly relate to:
- the valuations used for testing impairment, in particular assessing the recoverable value of goodwill and intangible fixed assets
- measurement of the fair value of investment properties
- assessment of the fair value of derivative financial instruments
- measurement of provisions.
Due to the uncertainties inherent in any valuation process, the Covivio 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 address the accounting issues involved.

The operating segments of the Covivio Group are detailed in paragraph 2.2.8.1.

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 properties. These risks can be assessed in light of the schedule of properties under development (see § 2.2.5.1.5).
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 2020, the Covivio Group's available cash and cash equivalents amounted to €3,199 million, including €2,073 million in usable unconditional credit lines, €952 million in investments and €174 million in unused overdraft facilities.
The graph below summarises the maturities of borrowings (in €M) existing as at 30 June 2020:

The 2020 and 2021 maturities in the graph above include €1,296.9 million in treasury bills.
The amount of interest payable until the maturity of the debt, estimated on the basis of the outstanding amount at 30 June 2020 and the average interest rate on the debt, totalled €861 million.
Details of 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 2.2.5.11.7.
In the 1st half of 2020, the Group raised medium and long-term loans, mainly to secure the acquisition of Covivio Office (formerly Godewind Immobilien), as well as the acquisition of a hotel portfolio in France, Italy, Hungary, and the Czech Republic.
- Covivio raised, secured, or renegotiated €588.6 million in loans on improved financial and maturity terms, for example, €500 million via a 10-year green bond issued in June 2020, with a 1.625% coupon.
- Covivio Hotels raised medium and long-term loans of €325 million, including a €250 million debt to secure the acquisition of the aforementioned hotel portfolio.
• In Germany, Covivio Immobilien SE raised, secured, or renegotiated €461 million in loans with average terms of around 10 years.
2.2.2.3. Interest rate risk
The Group's exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates is linked to its floating rate and long-term financial debt.
To the extent possible, bank debt is primarily hedged via financial instruments (see § 2.2.5.11.5). At 30 June 2020, after taking interest rate swaps into account, approximately 81% 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:
- the impact of an increase of 100 bps on rates as at 30 June 2020 was -€12,438 thousand on net income Group share in 2020
- the impact of an increase of 50 bps on rates as at 30 June 2020 was -€5,733 thousand on net income Group share in 2020
- the impact of a reduction of 50 bps on rates as at 30 June 2020 was +€5,534 thousand on net income Group share in 2020.
2.2.2.4. Financial counterparty risk
Given the Covivio Group's contractual relationships with its financial partners, the Company is exposed to counterparty risk. If any of its counterparties is not in a position to honour its commitments, the Group's income could suffer an adverse effect.
This risk primarily involves the hedging instruments subscribed by the Group and which would have to be replaced by a hedging transaction at the current market rate in the event of a default by the counterparty.
The counterparty risk is limited by the fact that Covivio Group is a borrower, from a structural standpoint. The risk is therefore mainly restricted to the investments made by the 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. At 30 June 2020, the amount is €18,193 thousand.
2.2.2.5 Leasing counterparty risk
Covivio Group's rental income is subject to a certain degree of concentration, to the extent that the principal tenants (Orange, Telecom Italia, AccorHotels, IHG and B&B) generate most of the annual rental income.
It should be noted that in 2017 and 2018, the Group split the Telecom Italia portfolio and now only holds 51%. The Group also made significant investments in Spain and the United Kingdom, thus diversifying its hotel tenants.
Covivio Group is not 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 recognised 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 of 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.
Regulatory environment in Berlin
On 23 February 2020, a draft law came into force providing for a rent cap in Berlin.
This law consists of a 5-year freeze on rents and the introduction of a cap based on criteria of location, the age of buildings and the standard of apartments. These regulations do not concern subsidised housing units (regulated rents) delivered after 1 January 2014. The law is being challenged before the Karlsruhe Constitutional Court. Under its current terms, the law has no material impact on appraisal values. For the Group, in 2020 the impact of the rental cap will be limited owing to the fact that rent from existing leases will not fall until November 2020.
The macroeconomic factors that have the greatest influence on property values and determine the various cyclical trends include the following:
- interest rates
- the market liquidity and the availability of other profitable alternative investments
- 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 Offices. 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 Covivio Group is to minimise the impact of the various stages of the cycle by choosing investments that:
- have long-term leases and high-quality tenants, which soften the impact of a reduction in market rental income and the resulting decline in real estate prices
- are located in major city centres
- 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 the Covivio Group 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 Group operates both in and outside the euro zone following acquisition of the hotel properties in the United Kingdom and in Poland. The Group wanted to hedge against certain currency fluctuations (GBP) by financing part of the acquisitions through a foreign currency loan and a currency swap.

(-) corresponds to a loss; (+) corresponds to a gain.
2.2.2.8. Brexit risk
Brexit could have an impact on real estate valuations of assets in the United Kingdom related to economic uncertainties, fluctuations in the value of the pound sterling and hotel visits.
2.2.2.9. 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 according to 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.
Furthermore, Covivio issued convertible bonds (ORNANE type) valued at their fair value in the income statement at each reporting date, except for the ORNANE Italy 2021, which was valued by distinguishing a financial debt at amortised cost and a derivative component measured at fair value through profit or loss. The fair value corresponds to the bond's closing price, exposing the Group to changes in the bond's value. The specific features of the ORNANE Italy 2021 are described in Note 2.2.5.11.4.
2.2.2.10. Tax environment
2.2.2.10.1. Changes in the French tax environment
The French tax environment has undergone changes relating to the corporate income tax rate, which has been reduced to 28% from 1 January 2020 (versus 31% as at 1 January 2019) for all companies.
2.2.2.10.2. Changes in the Italian tax environment
The Group has not observed any significant change in the Italian tax environment.
2.2.2.10.3. Changes in the German tax environment
The Group has not observed any significant change in the German tax environment.
2.2.2.10.4. Tax risks
Due to the complexity and bureaucracy characteristic of the environment in which the Covivio Group operates, the Group is exposed to tax risks. 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:
Covivio tax audit
The financial statements of Covivio were audited for the 2012 and 2013 fiscal years, resulting, in December 2015, in a corporate income tax reassessment proposal, now officially closed, and a CVAE reassessment proposal, which is still the subject of a tax dispute before the Administrative Court of Appeal, for an amount of €0.2 million. Based on analysis by the legal counsel, no provision has been recorded for this dispute as at 30 June 2020.
Covivio Hotels' tax audit
Covivio Hotels' financial statements were audited for the 2010/2011 and 2012/2013/2014 fiscal years, which resulted in a reassessment proposal for the CVAE in the amount of €2.4 million and €2.2 million respectively. These reassessments were partially withdrawn by the tax administration in the first half of 2018 for €1.2 million and €1.1 million. The remaining balances of the reassessment of €1.2 million and €1.1 million were contested, which led to a ruling by the Administrative Court of Appeal in June 2020. This ruling, in favour of Covivio Hotels, quashed the Administrative Court's judgement and convicted the tax authority. No provision has been recorded for this dispute as at 30 June 2020.
The financial statements of Covivio Hotels were also audited for the 2015 fiscal year which resulted in a reassessment proposal for corporate value-added tax (CVAE), on the same grounds as the previous reassessment proposals for €0.2 million. This proposal was contested at the Administrative Court and based on the analysis by the Company's legal counsel, has not been provisioned in the financial statements as at 30 June 2020.
Foncière Otello tax audit (subsidiary of Covivio Hotels)
Foncière Otello's financial statements 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 was contested, which led to a ruling of the Administrative Court of Appeal in June 2020. This ruling, in favour of Foncière Otello, quashed the Court's judgement and convicted the tax authority. No provision has been recorded for this dispute as at 30 June 2020.
The financial statements of Foncière Otello were also audited for the 2014, 2015 and 2016 fiscal years, which resulted in a reassessment proposal for corporate value added tax (CVAE) in the amount of €0.2 million, on the same grounds as the previous reassessment proposal. 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 2020.
Tax audits of Operating properties in Germany (subsidiaries of Covivio Hotels)
A company with assets in Germany was audited for the 2015- 2017 fiscal years. The audit was closed in the first half of 2020 without any significant adjustment.
A tax audit was also opened in early 2020 at MO Berlin KG for the 2015-2017 fiscal years.
An audit of companies in the B&B portfolio has been announced for the second half of 2020, covering the years 2016 to 2018.
Tax audit of an Operating property company in Belgium (subsidiary of Covivio Hotels)
In 2020, Foncière Vielsalm was audited for accounting years 2017 and 2018.
Tax audits of Operating properties
Nice-M was audited for fiscal years 2015 and 2016, which resulted in a VAT reassessment in the amount of €31 thousand, which is contested in part. This VAT reassessment has not been provisioned as at 30 June 2020.
Two German companies (Rock portfolio) are subject to a tax audit for the 2012 through 2015 financial years, concerning corporate tax and VAT.
Another tax audit relating to VAT for 2018 was begun in early 2019 and remains ongoing.
Tax audits of Germany Residential
Covivio Immobilien and all its "Residential" subsidiaries were subject to a tax audit for fiscal years 2011 to 2016.
As at 30 June 2020, audits for fiscal years 2011 to 2013 have been completed for most companies. The overall impact is estimated at less than €1.7 million in terms of corporate income tax, with a reduction of €22 million in losses carried forward. These impacts were already taken into account in the financial statements of previous years. The audits for the years 2014 to 2016 are still ongoing, with the exception of that on companies based in Berlin, where tax authorities have decided not to pursue the audit.

These financial statements include the financial statements of Covivio and the financial statements of the entities (including structured entities) that it controls and its subsidiaries.
Covivio Group has control when it:
- has power over the issuing entity
- is exposed or is entitled to variable returns due to its ties with the issuing entity
- has the ability to exercise its power in such as manner as to affect the amount of returns that it receives.
Covivio 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.
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 authorities on 18 December 2015.
The dispute with the tax authorities was settled with the payment of €55 million. The €56.2 million provision recorded in 2015 was reversed as at 31 December 2016.
However, Comit Fund and Beni Stabili have not entered into a joint agreement to definitively agree that they each will pay an equal share of this adjustment. Civil arbitration proceedings taken by Comit Fund confirmed that each party accepts to pay 50% of the cost of the dispute, in accordance with the payments made. In January 2019, Comit Fund appealed against the arbitration decision bringing the dispute to an end. In March 2020, the Court of Appeal confirmed the decision. The dispute was therefore definitively closed at 30 June 2020.
2.2.2.10.5. Deferred tax liabilities
Most of the Group's real estate companies have opted for the SIIC regime in France, and the SOCIMI regime in Spain. Covivio's permanent establishment in Italy has been subject to a 20% tax on real estate companies since 1 January 2019. The impact of deferred tax liabilities is therefore essentially present in Germany Residential and Italy Offices and linked to investments in Hotels in Europe for which the SIIC regime is not applicable (Germany, Spain, Belgium, Ireland, Netherlands, Portugal, the United Kingdom and Poland). In the case of Spain, all Spanish companies have opted for the SOCIMI regime exemption. However, there are deferred tax liabilities related to assets held by the companies prior to opting for SOCIMI treatment.
The deferred tax is mainly due to the recognition of the portfolio's fair value (German rate: 15.825%, French rate: 25.83%). Please note that the hotel businesses are taxed at a rate of between 30.18% and 32.28% in Germany and that deferred tax liabilities for this business have also been recognised at this rate.
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 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:
- 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
- the potential voting rights held by the Group, other holders of voting rights or other parties
- the rights under other contractual agreements
- 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 recognised in these consolidated financial statements according to the equity method.
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 recognised 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:
• its assets, including its proportionate share of assets held jointly, where applicable
- its liabilities, including its proportionate share of liabilities undertaken jointly, where applicable
- the income that it derived from the sale of its proportionate share in the yield generated by the joint operation
- its proportionate share of income from the sale of the yield generated by the joint operation
- 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.

The partnership meets the criteria of a joint venture when the parties exercising joint control have rights to net assets of the partnership arrangement. The following companies are consolidated by the equity method.
2.2.4. Significant events during the period
Significant events during the period were as follows:
2.2.4.1. Major impacts of the Covid-19 health crisis
2.2.4.1.1. Drop in hotel revenues
The majority of hotels in Europe were closed during the period from March to June: 78% of hotels were closed during the peak of the crisis. They gradually started reopening from the beginning of June, with a very low occupancy rate: 65% of hotels are open as at 30 June 2020.
Rental income of Hotels in Europe amounted to €75.9 million at 30 June 2020 compared with €124.0 million at 30 June 2019. This significant slump of -€48.1 million (i.e. -38.8%) is mainly due to the drop in Accor's variable rents (-€18.5 million) and a drop in fixed rents in the United Kingdom linked to the activation of the major under-performance clause (-€22 million).
Rent-free periods were granted to some tenants against extension of the lease period (average residual term of 12 years) amounting to €16.5 million. In accordance with IFRS 16, these benefits are treated as lease modifications and are linearised over the residual term of the leases. Linearisation did not have a significant impact on the financial statements at 30 June 2020.
EBITDA of Hotels operated stood at €3.4 million at 30 June 2020 versus €31.3 million at 30 June 2019. The hotels benefited from government furlough aid of €5.2 million.
2.2.4.1.2. Decline in the value of hotel assets
The Hotels in Europe segment recorded a decline of -€135 million in value, mainly in Accor's assets (under variable rents), assets in the United Kingdom and retail. For hotel assets, this decline reflects a revenue effect for 70%, linked to the deterioration of cash flows until the end of 2021/in 2022 on assets for which revenue is correlated with the performance of the hotels, and a rate effect for 30%, linked to the increase of +15 bps in discount rates.
2.2.3.6.7. SCI Lenovilla (joint venture)
As at 30 June 2020, Lenovilla was 50.09% held by Covivio and consolidated according to the equity method. The partnership with the Crédit Agricole Assurances Group (49.91%) was established in January 2013 as part of the New Vélizy (Campus Thales) project. The shareholder agreement stipulates that decisions be made unanimously.
2.2.3.6.8. SCI Cœur d'Orly Bureaux (joint venture)
As at 30 June 2020, SCI Cœur d'Orly Bureaux was 50% held by Covivio and 50% by Aéroports de Paris and was consolidated by the equity method. On 10 March 2008, the shareholders signed a memorandum of understanding, subsequently amended by a succession of deeds and by partnership agreements which set out the partners' rights and obligations with respect to SCI Cœur d'Orly Bureaux.
The ADP Group (as land developer and joint investor) and Covivio (as property developer and joint investor) signed the required deeds for the construction of the Belaïa office building at Cœur d'Orly, the business district of the Paris-Orly airport. The completion of this building is scheduled for the second half of 2020.
At 30 June 2020, impairment tests led to the impairment of goodwill on two hotels operated as Operating properties in Germany for an amount of €2.5 million. A 2.5% drop in the values of hotels in Operating properties would generate additional impairment of €5 million and a 5% drop would generate an impairment of €15 million.
2.2.4.1.3. Impairment of trade receivables
The lockdown period in Europe led to an increase in bad debts in the 2nd quarter of 2020, which led the Group to strengthen its provisioning rules.
Additional impairments were recorded, mainly for retail tenants in Italy and Germany, for tenants whose situation was already difficult pre-Covid, and when the size of the bad debt was less than €100 thousand with a lease term of less than three years (see section 2.2.6.2.2).
2.2.4.2. Creation of a Germany Offices segment
2.2.4.2.1. Acquisition of Covivio Office (formerly Godewind Immobilien) – portfolio of €1.2 billion
Following the launch of a takeover bid in February 2020, Covivio acquired 89.26% of the securities of Godewind Immobilien, a listed REIT specialising in office real estate in Germany. The acquisition price was €6.40 per security, i.e. €619 million. The company was delisted from the German stock exchange on 14 May 2020. It was renamed Covivio Office.
Covivio Office holds a portfolio of €1.2 billion consisting of 10 office buildings (290,000 m2 ), located in Frankfurt (40% of the portfolio), Düsseldorf (28%), Hamburg (24%) and Munich (8%).
The acquisition price of Godewind Immobilien breaks down as follows:
| Allocation of the acquisition price (€K) | Acquisition values |
|---|---|
| Acquisition price (96,672,096 securities at €6.40) | 618,701 |
| Intangible assets | 130 |
| Investment properties | 1,266,372 |
| Tangible assets | 7,687 |
| Non-current financial Assets | 70 |
| Deferred tax assets | 31,646 |
| Other current assets | 4,619 |
| Cash and cash equivalents (available and restricted) | 24,769 |
| Assets | 1,335,293 |
| Bank borrowings | 500,241 |
| Rental liabilities | 20,520 |
| Deferred tax liabilities | 74,581 |
| Other non-current liabilities | 859 |
| Other current liabilities | 24,862 |
| Liabilities | 621,063 |
| Net assets identified at fair value | 714,230 |
| Indirect non-controlling interests | -8,166 |
| TOTAL NET ASSETS IDENTIFIED AT FAIR VALUE (100%) | 706,064 |
| Share of net assets identified at fair value acquired (87.63%(1)) | 618,701 |
(1) Godewind Immobilien's buyback of its own shares in June 2020 had an accretive effect on the ownership position at the end of the period (89.26%).
These values are based on the accounting principles and methods defined in IFRS 3 Business combinations, which stipulates that assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on the acquisition date.

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 assets
Identifiable intangible fixed assets are amortised on a straightline basis over their expected useful lives. Intangible fixed assets acquired are recorded on the balance sheet at acquisition cost. They primarily include entry fees (and occupancy rights for car parks) and computer software.
Intangible fixed assets are amortised on a straight-line basis, as follows:
- software: over a period of 1 to 3 years
- occupancy rights: 30 years.
Fixed assets in the concession segment – Concession activity
The Covivio Group applies IFRIC 12 in the consolidated financial statements for car parks that are the subject of service concession agreements. 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.
The Group no longer has any fully owned car parks and consequently there are no longer any tangible "Car park" assets, other than right-of-use assets related to leases under IFRS 16.
2.2.5.1.1.2. Business combinations (IFRS 3) and goodwill from acquisitions
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 recognised 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.
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.
Related acquisition costs are recognised in expense in accordance with IFRS 3 under "Income from changes in consolidation scope" in the income statement.
The prospective additional costs are appraised at fair value at the acquisition date. They are definitely appraised in the 12 months following the acquisition. The subsequent change of these additional costs is recorded in the income statement.
After its initial recognition, the goodwill is subject to an impairment test at least once a year. The impairment test consists in comparing the net book value of the intangible and tangible fixed assets and goodwill related to the valuation of the hotels as "Operating Properties" made by the real estate appraisers.
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. The buildings occupied or operated by the Covivio Group employees – owner occupied buildings – are recognised under tangible fixed assets (office properties occupied by employees, spaces used for own Flex Office, hotel real estate managed by the Operating Properties business).
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 property is not amortised.
Valuations are carried out in accordance with the Code of conduct applicable to SIICs, the Charter of property valuation expertise, the recommendations of the COB/CNCC working group chaired by Mr Barthès de Ruyter and the international plan in accordance with the International Valuation Standards Council (IVSC) and those of the Red Book 2014 of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS).
The real estate portfolio directly held by the Group was appraised in full at 30 June 2020 by independent real estate experts including BNP Real Estate, JLL, CBRE, Cushman, CFE, MKG, REAG and HVS.
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.
The assets are recognised at their net market value.
- For France, Italy and Germany Offices, the valuations are primarily performed according to two methods:
- 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.
• 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.
- For Hotels in Europe, the methodology changes according to the type of assets:
- the rent capitalisation method is used for restaurants, garden centres and Club Med holiday villages
- the DCF method is used for hotels (including the revenue forecasts determined by the appraiser) and Sunparks holiday villages.
- For Germany Residential, the fair value determined corresponds to:
- a block value for assets for which no sales strategy has been developed or which have not been marketed
• an occupied retail value for assets on which at least one preliminary sale agreement has been made before the reporting date.
The evaluation method used was the discounted cash flow method.
The resulting values are also compared with the initial yield rate 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:
- 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
- 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
- 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.
The appraisal of real-estate-assets accounted for as investment properties was conducted in the context of a changing situation affected by the unprecedented Covid-19 crisis, for which the impact and outlook remained difficult to predict at the time the appraisals took place.
The context of the health crisis has created uncertainty about the estimates used for appraisal values. These estimates include assumptions about resumption of activity (reopening of hotels and gradual return of visitors, use of office buildings, etc.) which may not be realised.
Without calling into question the reliability of the appraisal valuations, experts have included a "material valuation uncertainty" in accordance with VPS 3 and VPGA 10 of the RICS Red Book Global. This indication is designed to bring clarity and transparency to the fact that, given the current circumstances, there is less certainty than usual regarding the valuation.
2.2.5.1.1.4. Assets under development (IAS 40)
Assets under construction are recognised 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 carried at cost.
As a result, development programmes and extensions or remodelling of existing assets that are not yet commissioned are recognised 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. Right-of-use (IFRS 16)
In application of IFRS 16, when a movable or immovable asset is held under a lease, the lessee is required to recognise a rightof-use asset and a rental liability, at amortised cost.
Right-of-use assets are included in the items under which the corresponding underlying assets are presented, if they belonged thereto, namely the items Operating properties, Other tangible fixed assets, and Investment properties.
2.2.5.1.1.6. Tangible fixed assets (IAS 16)
Pursuant to the preferred method proposed by IAS 16, operating buildings (head offices and Flex Office business) and managed hotels under the Operating Properties business line (owner occupied buildings – occupied or operated by Group The lessee depreciates the right-of-use on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease, except for rights relating to investment properties, which are measured at fair value.
employees) are carried at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any potential impairment. They are amortised over their expected useful life according to a component-based approach.
The hotels operated as Operating Properties are depreciated according to their period of use:
| Building | 50 to 60 years |
|---|---|
| General installations and layout of the buildings | 10 to 30 years |
| Equipment and furniture | 3 to 20 years |
If the appraisal values of the Operating Properties are less than the net book value, impairment is recognised, as a priority on the value of the fund, then on the value of the tangible fixed assets.
2.2.5.1.1.7. Non-current assets held for sale (IFRS 5)
In accordance with IFRS 5, when Covivio decides to dispose of an asset or group of assets, it classifies them as assets held for sale if:
- 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
- its or their sale is likely within one year and marketing for the property has been initiated.
For the Covivio Group, only assets corresponding to the above criteria or for which a sale commitment has been signed are classified as assets held for sale.
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.

(1) The "Intangible fixed assets" line includes in particular the car park concession assets and leases in the amount of €17 million. (2) Including the acquisition of land (Alexanderplatz +€8.6 million) and carrying out work on the Italy Offices (+€5.1 million) and Hotels in Europe (+€4 million) assets.
(3) Including work on Germany Residential assets (€3.5 million), Operating Property assets (€4.8 million), the future Covivio headquarters (€4.7 million) and Paris Gobelins (€3.4 million).
Fixed assets in progress also includes instalments paid on asset acquisitions in Italy Offices (€1.6 million) and France Offices (€1 million).
Changes in the scope of tangible fixed assets are mainly related to lease rights-of-use for Covivio Office (formerly Godewind Immobilien) business premises for €6.2 million.
Changes in the scope of investment properties include in particular the entry into the scope of Covivio Office, which has assets in Hamburg, Munich, Düsseldorf and Frankfurt (+€1,252.5 million) and rights-of-use on a long-term lease (+€13.8 million).
The transfer column total (+€14.7 million) mainly corresponds to the reclassification of a Germany Office real estate trading property located in Berlin as property under development.
The portfolio of hotels held as Operating Properties totalled €1,047.9 million at 30 June 2020. In accordance with IAS 16, it is recognised under "Tangible fixed assets".
The "Disbursements related to acquisition of tangible and intangible fixed assets" line in the Statement of Cash Flows (€230.1 million) refers mainly to increases in the statement of changes in the portfolio excluding the effect of depreciation (-€283.5 million), restated for advances and down-payments already paid on properties under development (+€11.4 million), to changes in inventories of real estate trading and development companies (-€1.6 million) adjusted for changes in fixed asset trade payables (+€16.5 million) and restatements for step rental schemes and rent incentives (+€26.6 million).
The "Proceeds relating to the disposal of tangible and intangible fixed assets" line in the Statement of Cash Flows (€254.8 million) primarily corresponds to income from disposals as presented in section 2.2.6.3. Income from asset disposals (€292.3 million), and to the proceeds from the disposal of assets in inventory (€3.0 million), restated for the change in receivables on asset disposals (-€40.4 million).

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 recognised upon acquisition at cost plus transaction costs. They are then recognised at fair value in the income statement on the reporting 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 measured at fair value are recognised at acquisition cost.
Securities available for sale of listed and non-consolidated companies are recorded at their stock-market price with an offsetting entry in shareholders' equity in accordance with IFRS 9.
Dividends received are recognised when they have been approved by vote.
2.2.5.2.1.2. Loans
At each reporting date, loans are recorded at their amortised cost. Moreover, impairment is recognised and recorded 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.

(1) Ordinary loans include receivables from equity investments in equity affiliates. The increase in the period is related mainly to the reclassification of the loan granted to Lenovilla as a long-term loan (+€20 million), loans granted to companies acquired in July 2019 with 32 hotels in France and Belgium (+€1 million) and to Cœur d'Orly for a Belaïa development project (+€1 million).
(2) Total other financial assets are broken down as follows:
- Advances and deposits made to acquire securities in companies:
An additional deposit of €15 million was paid for the acquisition of a portfolio of hotels located in the centres of major European cities (Rome, Florence, Venice, Budapest, Prague and Nice).
- Securities at historic cost:
The investments held by Covivio in Italy in real estate funds (€17 million) are valued at their historical cost. Potential impairments are recorded in the income statement.
- Receivables on financial assets: The increase in receivables on financial assets mainly corresponds to receivables on disposals in Italy Offices (+€28 million).
(3) Includes impairment losses on securities at historical cost held by Covivio in Italy (€11.4 million) and impairment losses on receivables for disposals of more than one year (€3.3 million) and for receivables related to financial assets (€1.9 million).
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 recognised by the equity method. According to this method, the Group's investment in the equity affiliate or the joint venture is initially recognised 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 Covivio Group.

As at 30 June 2020, the consolidated unrealised tax position showed a deferred tax asset of €80 million (versus €62 million as at 31 December 2019) and a deferred tax liability of €1,067 million (versus €983 million as at 31 December 2019).
The primary contributors to the net balance of deferred tax liabilities are:
- Residential Germany: €679 million
- Hotels in Europe: €248 million
- Germany Offices: €50 million
- Italy Offices: €12 million.
2.2.5.5. Short-term loans
The increase in net deferred tax liabilities (+€65.3 million) is mainly due to the acquisition of the company Covivio Office in Germany Offices (+€45.9 million), the impact of the deferred tax liabilities relating to increases in the appraisal values of the Germany Residential portfolio (+€39.1 million), offset by the decline in asset values and the disposal of the Germany B&B assets under Hotels in Europe (-€22.0 million).
The impact on income is detailed in paragraph 2.2.6.8.2.
In accordance with IAS 12, deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset for each tax entity when they involve taxes paid to the same tax authority.

The change in short-term loans (+€19.5 million) primarily reflects the reclassification as short term of the loan granted to the equity affiliate Lenovilla (-€20 million) and the change in accrued interest not yet due (+€0.4 million).
2.2.5.6. Inventories and work-in-progress
2.2.5.6.1. Accounting principles applicable to inventories
Inventories 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).
Inventories are composed of two classification types: Property dealers (mainly in Italy, purchase/sale) and real estate development (housing and offices). They are assessed at cost.

The balance sheet item "Inventories and work-in-progress" groups together inventories from trading activities in Italy Offices (€26.4 million), and assets dedicated to the real estate development business for €199.7 million.
The change in France Offices (+€3.2 million) and Italy Offices (+€1 million) reflects the work carried out on development assets.
The increase in inventories in Germany Residential (+€9.8 million) is related to the work on development assets (+€20.6 million) and the disposal of trading (-€1.1 million) and development (-€12.8 million) assets.
The decrease in inventories in Germany Offices (-€17.5 million) is linked to the reclassification of a development project under properties under development (Reno Wilhelm-Kabus-Strasse project).
2.2.5.7. Trade receivables
2.2.5.7.1. Accounting principles applicable to trade receivables and the receivables of hotels under operation
The trade receivables are mainly comprised of receivables from simple lease transactions and receivables of hotels under operation. These items are measured 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.
The usual impairment rules have been tightened in the context of the Covid-19 health crisis. For unpaid rents for the 2nd quarter of 2020, impairments were recorded according to the size of the tenant, his business, and the ongoing lease negotiations (see section 2.2.4.1).
2.2.5.7.1.1. Receivables from operating lease transactions
For operating-lease receivables, a provision for impairment is made at the first non-payment. The impairment rates applied by Covivio Group are as follows:
- no impairment provision is recorded for existing or vacated tenants whose receivables are less than three months overdue
- 50% of the total amount of receivables for existing tenants whose receivables are between three and six months overdue
- 100% of the total amount of receivables for existing tenants whose receivables are more than six months overdue
- 100% of the total amount of receivables for vacated tenants whose receivables are more than three months overdue.
The receivables and theoretical impairments 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. Receivables of hotels under operation
Receivables of hotels under operation are impaired according to payment deadlines.
The receivables and theoretical impairments arising from the rules above are reviewed on a case-by-case basis in order to factor in any specific situations.
2.2.5.7.2. Trade receivables

| NET TOTAL TRADE RECEIVABLES | 399,610 | 376,730 | 22,880 |
• The change in trade receivables (+€22.9 million) is explained mainly by the increase in expenses to be invoiced to tenants (+€77.5 million) and the decline in net trade receivables (-€48.6 million). The decrease in trade receivables (-€40.5 million) is linked mainly to an off-setting not carried out in 2019 (real estate development) with the item Other liabilities (-€77.5 million).
• Impairment of trade receivables increased by €8 million, of which €5.6 million was recorded following the Covid-19 crisis, mainly under Italy Offices (€2.6 million), Hotels in Europe (€1.5 million) and Germany Residential (€1.3 million).

- €89.7 million in government receivables comprise mainly VAT receivables. It should be noted that this item includes €3.2 million in government receivables following the payment of tax adjustments of which we dispute the validity (see section 2.2.2.10.4).
- The changes in receivables on disposals were mainly from the Other (Including France Residential +€10.3 million), Italy Offices (+€1.7 million), France Offices (+€0.9 million) and Germany Residential (+€0.6 million) segments.
2.2.5.9. Cash and cash equivalents (available and restricted)
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.
2.2.5.9.2. Table of cash and cash equivalents

| TOTAL | 1,165,395 | 1,302,084 |
At 30 June 2020, the portfolio of money-market securities available for sale consists mainly of Level 2 standard moneymarket collective investment vehicles (SICAV).
• Level 1 of the portfolio corresponds to instruments whose price is listed on an active market for an identical instrument.
2.2.5.10. Shareholders' equity
2.2.5.10.1. Accounting principles applicable to equity
Treasury shares
If the Group buys back its own equity instruments (treasury shares), these are deducted from shareholders' equity. No profit or loss is recognised in the income statement when Group equity capital instruments are purchased, sold, issued, or cancelled.
2.2.5.11. Statement of debt
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, minus the transaction costs directly attributable to the issue of the liability. They are then recognised 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 Covivio Group are either (i) recognised at fair value in the income statement or (ii) recognised separately as a financial liability at amortised cost and an embedded derivative measured at fair value in the income statement.
The fair value is determined according to the closing bond price.
The Group companies hold movable and immovable assets through rental contracts (construction leases and long-term leases, premises, company vehicles, car parks). At the lease commencement date, the tenant measures the rental liability as the present value of rents owing not yet paid, using the implied interest rate for the lease, if this rate can be easily determined, or otherwise using the incremental borrowing rate. • Level 2 corresponds to instruments whose fair value is determined using data other than the prices mentioned for Level 1 and observable directly or indirectly (i.e. price-related data).
Covivio holds no investments subject to capital risk.
2.2.5.10.2. Statement of changes in shareholders' equity
The statement of changes in shareholders' equity and movements in the share capital are presented in Note 2.1.4.
This debt is amortised as the contracts expire and give rise to the recognition of a financial expense.
Rental liabilities are shown on the long-term or short-term rental liabilities line in the balance sheet and financial expenses in the Interest costs for rental liabilities line item.
Derivatives and hedging instruments
The Covivio 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 majority of the financial instruments in Italy Offices qualify for hedge accounting as defined by IFRS 9. In this case, changes in the fair value of the effective portion of the hedge are recognised net of tax in shareholders' equity until the hedged transaction occurs. The ineffective portion is recorded in the income statement.
All derivative instruments in the other segments are therefore recognised at their fair value, and changes are reflected in the income statement.

2.2.5.11.6. Rental liabilities
The balance of rental liabilities as at 30 June 2020 stood at €278.4 million, up from €269.1 million at 31 December 2019, an increase of €9.3 million. This increase was mainly due to the recognition of a lease liability of €20.5 million on the Germany Offices segment following the acquisition of Covivio Office (longterm lease of the Frankfurt Airport Center assets measured at fair value and premises and company vehicle leases).
At 30 June 2020, the interest expense relating to these rental liabilities was €7.1 million.

2.2.5.11.7. Banking covenants
Excluding debts raised without recourse to the Group's real estate companies, the debts of Covivio and its subsidiaries generally include bank covenants (ICR and LTV) applying to the borrower's consolidated financial statements. If these covenants are breached, early debt repayment may be triggered. These covenants are established in Group Share for Covivio and for Covivio Hotels.
With respect to Covivio Immobilien (Germany Residential), for which almost all of the debt raised is "non-recourse" debt, portfolio financings do not contain any consolidated covenants.
The most restrictive consolidated LTV covenants amounted to 60% for Covivio and Covivio Hotels at 30 June 2020.
The most restrictive consolidated ICR covenants amounted to 200% for Covivio and Covivio Hotels at 30 June 2020.
Concerning Covivio, corporate credit facilities usually include an asset-secured debt covenant (100% scope), the cap on which is set at 25% and which measures the ratio of secured debt (or debt with guarantees of any kind) to asset value.
Covivio Group fully complied with its covenants at 30 June 2020, which stood at 44.5% for Group share LTV, and 610% for Group share ICR. Furthermore, for Covivio and its wholly owned subsidiaries, the ratio of pledged debt amounted to 4.6%.
No financing has an accelerated payment clause contingent on Covivio or Covivio Hotels' rating, which is currently BBB+, stable outlook (Standard & Poor's rating).

| £400 M (2018) – Rocky | Covivio Hotels | Hotels in Europe | > 200% | In compliance |
As part of the mortgage financing, these covenants, moreover, most often include specific covenants for the scopes financed. The purpose of these covenants, generally scope LTV, is mainly to limit the use of financing lines by correlating it with the value of the underlying assets provided as collateral.
2.2.5.12. Provisions for risks and charges
2.2.5.12.1. Accounting principles applicable to provisions for contingencies and losses
Retirement commitments
The retirement commitments are recognised in accordance with revised IAS 19. Provisions are recorded on the balance sheet for the liabilities arising from defined benefits pension schemes for existing staff at the reporting date. They are calculated according to the projected credit units method based on valuations made at each reporting date. 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 recognised 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 costs are recognised 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 recognised 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 recognised 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.

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. Revenues from hotels under management and Flex Office, car park receipts, property development, and services are now shown in specific lines of the statement of net income, after net rental income.
As a general rule, invoicing is quarterly. The rental income of investment properties is recognised 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 IFRS 16, and offset against investment properties
2.2.6.2. Operating income
2.2.6.2.1. Rental income
Rental income amounted to €435.2 million at 30 June 2020 compared with €482.2 million at 30 June 2019, a decrease of -€47.0 million.

| TOTAL RENTAL INCOME | 435,213 | 482,167 | -46,954 | -9.7% |
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.
The changes in rents by asset-type break down as follows:
• a decrease in rental income from France Offices (-7.1%), mainly due to the impact of asset disposals (-€6.7 million) and vacancies (-€6.3 million) fuelling the development pipeline, partially offset by the delivery of assets under development in 2019 (+€3.6 million)

- a decrease in rental income from Italy Offices (-12.2%), mainly due to disposals (-€13.1 million) and releases (-€1.6 million), reduced by the impact of deliveries (+€2.1 million)
- an increase in rents for Germany Offices following the acquisition of Covivio Office in 2020 (+€22.1 million)
- a decrease in rents for Hotels in Europe (-€48.1 million, or -38.8%), which is mainly explained by the impact of the Covid-19 crisis (closure of hotels) on Accor's variable rents and the fixed rents in the United Kingdom (-€41.0 million) as well as the disposal of B&B assets in France in 2019 (-€9.2 million). This decrease is reduced slightly by acquisitions and deliveries of development projects (+€3.1 million)
- an increase in rental income from Germany Residential (+2.7%) following acquisitions (+€2.3 million), and reletting/indexing (+€4.3 million), mitigated by disposals (-€1.9 million)
- an 89.6% decrease in the Other (France Residential) segment due to disposals and assets made vacant for their disposal.

2.2.6.8. Taxes payable and deferred tax liabilities
2.2.6.8.1. Accounting principles applicable to current and deferred taxes
2.2.6.8.1.1. 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.
(1) Exemption of SIIC revenues
The revenues of the SIIC are exempt from taxes concerning:
- income from the leasing of assets
- 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
- dividends of SIIC subsidiaries.
(2) Distribution obligations.
The distribution obligations associated with exemption profits are the following:
- 95% of the earnings derived from asset leasing
- 70% 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
- 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 recognised 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.
As at 30 June 2020, there are no exit tax liabilities on the balance sheet.
2.2.6.8.1.2. 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 Covivio Group entities that are not eligible 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 offset.
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.
2.2.6.8.1.3. SIIQ tax regime (Italian companies)
Following Beni Stabili's merger with Covivio, the tax arrangements for Covivio's permanent establishment in Italy changed after it left the SIIQ tax regime. It is now subject to the 20% tax on real estate companies.
2.2.6.8.1.4. SOCIMI tax regime (Spanish companies)
The Spanish companies held by Covivio Hotels opted for the SOCIMI tax regime, effective on 1 January 2017. Opting for SOCIMI does not trigger an exit tax upon making the option. However, the capital gains on the period outside of the SOCIMI regime during which assets were held are taxable when disposing of said assets.
The rental income from the leasing of assets and proceeds from disposals of assets held under the SOCIMI regime are tax exempt, provided 80% of rental profits and 50% of asset disposal profits are distributed. These capital gains are determined by allocating the taxable gains to the period outside the SOCIMI regime in a linear basis, over the total holding period.

In the first half of 2020, a total of 89,351 free shares were awarded (the number was unchanged at 30 June 2020 – no cancellations due to employee departures). As stated elsewhere, the corresponding expense is recognised in income over the entire vesting period.
The cost of the free share awards recognised at 30 June 2020 amounted to €4,196 thousand, while the related social security contribution (URSSAF) totalled -€2,046 thousand. The decrease in social security (URSSAF) expenses is explained by the decrease in Covivio stock market price between 31 December 2019 (€101.20) and 30 June 2020 (€64.50), which serves as reference in the calculation. In addition, the URSSAF expenses paid in March 2020 for the 2016 plan shares acquired was reclassified as free share expenses in the amount of €720 thousand. These expenses are presented in the income statement on the "Overheads" line.
The cost of the free shares includes the impact of the 2016 plan for €127 thousand, the 2017 plan for €746 thousand, the 2018 plan for €1,571 thousand, the 2019 plan for €1,178 thousand, and the 2020 plan for €574 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 Covivio shares (the numerator) by the average weighted number of ordinary shares outstanding (the denominator) over the period.
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 free 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 Covivio shares is adjusted by:
- all dividends or other items under potentially dilutive ordinary shares that were deducted to arrive at the income attributable to the holders of ordinary shares
- interest recognised during the fiscal year to the potentially dilutive ordinary shares
- any change in the income and expenses resulting from the conversion of the dilutive potential ordinary shares.

In accordance with IAS 33 section 49 "Earnings per share", the impact from the dilution related to the conversion as at 1 January 2020 of the Italy ORNANE-type bonds maturing in 2021 is taken into account, because the latter is dilutive.

2.2.8. Segment reporting
2.2.8.1. Accounting principles as regards operating segments – IFRS 8
The Covivio 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:
- France Offices: office real estate assets located in France
- Italy Offices: office real estate and retail assets located in Italy
- Germany Offices: office real estate assets located in Germany held by the Covivio Group via its subsidiary Covivio Office Holding
- Hotels in Europe: commercial buildings largely in the hotel segment and hotel operating properties held by Covivio Hotels
- Germany Residential: real estate assets in Germany held by the Covivio Group through its subsidiary Covivio Immobilien SE. 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.
The Other segment includes non-significant activities such as car park rentals and the France Residential business.
Following the acquisition of Covivio Office, a subsidiary of Covivio Office Holding, in 2020, the office real estate assets that were in the Germany Residential segment at 31 December 2019 were transferred to the Germany Offices segment.

In France Offices, the change in the portfolio (€6,010 million in 2020 compared to €5,907 million in 2019) reflects the disposal of seven assets (-€84.8 million) including Nanterre Respiro (-€79.8 million), the change in fair value (+€89.3 million) and construction work (+€98.5 million).
In Italy Offices, the change (-€36 million) is due to the disposal of four assets (-€56 million), including Milan via Bernina (-€37.8 million), the change in fair value (-€17.6 million) mitigated by the construction work in the period (+€37.2 million). Two development projects were delivered for €127.7 million (€84.3 million for Turin Corso Ferrucci and €43.4 million for Milan The Sign A).
The growth in Germany Residential (+€260.6 million) is mainly due to the impact of changes in asset values (+€221.9 million), construction work (+€42.8 million), acquisition of assets in Dresden and Berlin (+€11.9 million) and disposals during the period (-€15.1 million).
In the Germany Offices, the significant change in the portfolio (+€1,318.8 million) is related to the entry of a portfolio of assets in Frankfurt, Düsseldorf, Munich and Hamburg (+€1,252.5 million) into the scope and the rights of use on a long-term lease (+€13.9 million), the acquisition of assets in Berlin (+€10.5 million), the change in the fair value of assets (+€6.3 million), construction work (+€18.0 million) and the impact of the reclassification of a real estate trading property located in Berlin (+€17.6 million) as property under development.
The decrease in Hotels in Europe (-€281.6 million) is mainly due to the change in the fair value of assets (-€136.1 million) and rights of use on long-term leases in the United Kingdom (+€1.1 million), the fall of the British Pound resulting in a change in exchange rates (-€48.5 million) and the impact of disposals (-€120.4 million). It also corresponds to the acquisition of the Ibis Strasbourg plot leasehold rights (+€4.3 million) and construction work (+€18 million).

2.3. RISK FACTORS
Covivio encourages readers to refer to the risk factors chapter in the 2019 Universal Registration Document (URD). The main risks and control factors to which the company is exposed are ranked by category and net criticality (after the management steps in place have been taken into account).
The Covid-19 pandemic has had a major impact on the Issuer and its risk factors as presented in Section 1.11.1 of the 2019 Universal Registration Document. Therefore, Covivio released a new 2020 guidance upon the publication of its half-year results, in July 2020.
The risk mapping underwent a full review, which began in mid-2020; the main results will be presented in the 2020 Universal Registration Document. However, the company has outlined below the developments and trends in the main risk factors that appear in the 2019 URD in light of the Covid-19 situation. As Covivio fully consolidates the public company Covivio Hotels, readers are encouraged to refer to that company's publications for further detail on the impacts and risk factors specific to the hotel portfolio.
2.3.1. Risks related to the environment in which Covivio operates
Given the current situation and the severely damaged economic environment we currently find ourselves in, this risk is increasing appreciably and the impacts for Covivio are at present significant, mainly given its exposure to the hotel segment (15% of Covivio's portfolio). Lockdowns, travel restrictions and border closures forced hoteliers to close most of their establishments. At 30 June, Covivio's income was down 7.5% on a like-for-like basis (with a 51% drop for hotels and a 1.9% increase for offices and residential).
The risk relating to changes in the real estate market is increasing. The period of uncertainty following the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic has resulted in decreased investment volumes over the period, which could have consequences on the real estate market in Europe. In the first half, investment volumes on Covivio's markets, although down, remained dynamic compared to historical trends. Covivio also signed disposal agreements for €400 million Group share in the first half, with an average margin of 14.6% on the latest appraisal values.
2.3.2. Risks related to information systems and cyber-crime
There is a heightened risk of cybercrime as a result of the remote working measures being implemented within the Group. Periods of instability are a good time for cybercriminals.
2.3.3. Risks related to changes in regulations
The current health crisis has highlighted an increased risk related to changes in regulations. During the first half, numerous regulations were introduced which had negative impacts on Covivio's business. Administrative closures of establishments in some geographic regions generated operating losses for the tenants affected.
Uncertainty surrounding the appearance of new clusters could result in new short- or medium-term closure orders. The Hotels activity is particularly affected by these mesures.
The health and safety risks have risen since the appearance of Covid-19. Additional health and safety measures have been introduced to limit the risk of transmission within premises, in the hotels and also on construction and development sites.
2.3.4. Risks related to Covivio's real estate assets
Rental risk: Given the Covid situation, the risk related to tenants has risen. Covivio is affected by a risk of the financial soundness of its tenants deteriorating, even up to the point of insolvency. This would affect the company's results.
Events during the half-year: On the offices and residential portfolio (84% of the portfolio in H1), 96.4% of rental income was collected, reflecting the quality of Covivio's rental base.
At 30 June, Covivio made provision for €7 million in losses on unrecoverable receivables, concerning principally €5.5 million in unpaid rent on non-strategic ground-floor retail units, restaurants and shopping centres.

The measures introduced by Covivio include supporting its tenants which are encountering difficulties. Covivio has approached those of its VSE and SME tenants which have been struggling and affected by closure orders, and has applied the recommendations made by the French government and the Federation of real estate companies and REITs (FSIF). This is taking the form of the automatic application of the cancellation of three months' rent for VSEs.
The risk relating to asset valuations has risen as a result of Covid-19. Changes in value, which can occur following an adjustment of the main assumptions used (yield rate, rental values), have a major impact on Covivio's net asset value.
2.3.5. Risks related to Covivio's growth
Development of real estate assets: One of the impacts of the health crisis has been delays, or even stoppages, affecting many construction sites. Therefore, the risk linked to the development of real estate assets has risen as a result of this crisis, and the main consequences are:
• delivery times for assets under construction are three months longer on average
2.3.6. Risks related to interest rates and liquidity
The financial risks are covered in more detail in the appendices to the accounts. However, given the current economic crisis as a result of Covid-19, it appears that interest rate and liquidity risks are more likely.
The most restrictive covenants in Covivio's credit agreements stipulate:
- a maximum LTV of 60%. This ratio has been largely adhered to
- a minimum ICR of 2. This covenant has also been adhered to.
Events during the half-year: At 30 June, as every year, Covivio had its assets valued by independent experts. The experts issued their report based on the available information and the changing Covid-19 situation, which is making it difficult to understand the future prospects. The appraisal values on the residential and office portfolio are rising, which reflects the quality of the portfolio and of the leases in place.
During the half year, Covivio disposed of assets for €400 million, generating a margin of 14.6% on appraisal values, despite the fact that most of the sale processes began after the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic.
- higher construction costs as a result of the new health measures in place on the sites
- higher vacancy rates on assets delivered due to economic uncertainty and the lack of visits to assets during the lockdown.
Control factors introduced during the first half:
The company strengthened its balance sheet during the half year by conducting a €343 million capital increase by paying the dividend in shares, and a €500 million bond; this improved the group's liquidity and its financial soundness. The average maturity of Covivio's debt is 6.1 years. The rating BBB+ stable outlook confirmed by S&P in May 2020 bears witness to Covivio's stability.
2.3.7. Risks related to failure to attract and retain talent
The unfavourable environment following the Covid-19 crisis resulted in an increase in unemployment in France, Germany and Italy. Therefore, the risk of failure to attract and retain talent has decreased as a result of Covid-19, although it does remain high.
2.3.8. Risks related to image and reputation
The current Covid-19 situation has not to date had any aggravating impact on this risk, which remains stable compared to the information provided in the URD.

2020 FIRST-HALF FINANCIAL REPORT 125

STATUTORY AUDITORS' REVIEW REPORT ON THE HALF-YEARLY FINANCIAL INFORMATION
For the period from 1 January to 30 June 2020
This is a free translation into English of the statutory auditors' review report on the half-yearly financial information issued in French and is provided solely for the convenience of English-speaking users. This report includes information relating to the specific verification of information given in the Group's half-yearly management report. This report should be read in conjunction with, and construed in accordance with, French law and professional standards applicable in France.
To the Shareholders,
In compliance with the assignment entrusted to us by your general meetings 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:
- the review of the accompanying condensed half-yearly consolidated financial statements of Covivio, for the period from 1 January 2020 to 30 June 2020
- the verification of the information presented in the half-yearly management report.
These condensed half-yearly consolidated financial statements were prepared under the responsibility of the Board of Directors on 21 July 2020 on the basis of the information available at that date in the evolving context of the crisis related to Covid-19 and of difficulties in assessing its impact and future prospects. 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 prepared on 21 July 2020.
We have no matters to report as to its fair presentation and consistency with the (condensed) half-yearly consolidated financial statements.

EPRA Earnings
EPRA Earnings is defined as "the recurring result from operating activities". It is the indicator for measuring the company's performance, calculated according to EPRA's Best Practices Recommendations. The EPRA Earnings per share is calculated on the basis of the average number of shares (excluding treasury shares) over the period under review.

- (+) Net Rental Income
- (+) EBITDA of hotels operating activities and Coworking
- (+) Income from other activities
(-) Net Operating Costs (including costs of structure, costs on development projects, revenues from administration and management)
- (-) Depreciation of operating assets
- (-) Net change in provisions and other
- (-) Cost of the net financial debt
- (-) Interest charges linked to finance lease liability
- (-) Net change in financial provisions
(+) EPRA Earnings of companies consolidated under the equity method
- (-) Corporate taxes
- (=) EPRA Earnings

Firm residual term of leases
Average outstanding period remaining of a lease calculated from the date a tenant first takes up an exit option.
Green Assets
"Green" buildings, according to IPD, are those where the building and/or its operating status are certified as HQE, BREEAM, LEED, etc. and/or which have a recognised level of energy performance such as the BBC-effinergieR, HPE, THPE or RT Global certifications.
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.
This change is restated for certain severance pay and income associated with the Italian real estate (IMU) tax.
Given specificities and common practices in German residential, the 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.
For operating hotels (owned by FDMM), like-for-like change is calculated on an EBITDA basis.
Restatement done:
- deconsolidation of acquisitions and disposals realised on the N and N-1 periods
- restatements of assets under works, i.e.:
- restatement of released assets for work (realised on N and N-1 years)
- restatement of deliveries of assets under works (realised on N and N-1 years).
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. The current scope includes all portfolio assets.
Restatement done:
- deconsolidation of acquisitions and disposals realised on the period
- restatement of work realised on asset under development during the N period.
Loan To Value (LTV)
The LTV calculation is detailed in Part 4 "Financial Resources".
Net asset value per share (NAV/share), and Triple Net NAV per share
NAV per share (Triple Net NAV per share) is calculated pursuant to the EPRA recommendations, based on the shares outstanding as at year-end (excluding treasury shares) and adjusted for the effect of dilution.
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.
Operating assets
Properties leased or available for rent and actively marketed.
Portfolio
The portfolio presented includes investment properties, properties under development, as well as operating properties and properties in inventory for each of the entities, stated at their fair value. For the hotel operating properties it includes the valuation of the portfolio consolidated under the equity method. For offices in France, the portfolio includes asset valuations of Euromed and New Vélizy, which are consolidated under the equity method.
Projects
- Committed projects: these are projects for which promotion or construction contracts have been signed and/or work has begun and has not yet been completed at the closing date. The delivery date for the relevant asset has already been scheduled. They might pertain to VEFA (pre-construction) projects or to the repositioning of existing assets.
- Managed projects: These are projects that might be undertaken and that have no scheduled delivery date. In other words, projects for which the decision to launch operations has not been finalised.

Rental activity
Rental activity includes mention of the total surface areas and the annualised rental income for renewed leases, vacated premises and new lettings during the period under review.
For renewed leases and new lettings, the figures provided take into account all contracts signed in the period so as to reflect the transactions completed, even if the start of the leases is subsequent to the period.
Lettings relating to assets under development (becoming effective at the delivery of the project) are identified under the heading "Pre-lets".
Rental income
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.
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.
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.
Surface
SHON: Gross surface
SUB: Gross used surface
Unpaid rent (%)
Unpaid rent corresponds to the net difference between charges, reversals and unrecoverable loss of income divided by rent invoiced. These appear directly in the income statement under net cost of unrecoverable income (except in Italy where unpaid amounts not relating to rents were restated).
Yields/return
The portfolio returns are calculated according to the following formula:
Gross annualised rent (not corrected for vacancy)
Value excl. duties for the relevant scope (operating or development)
The returns on asset disposals or acquisitions are calculated according to the following formula:
Gross annualised rent (not corrected for vacancy)
Acquisition value including duties or disposal value excluding duties
