* LfL: Like-for-Like.
Group Share revenues decreased by 3.6% year-on-year (-€11 million) primarily under the following effects:
- flat results on Offices and Residential activities, with like-for-like revenues stable (-0.4%; -€0.9 M):
- -2.8% in France Offices, due to releases and renegotiation in Paris South and La Défense that occurred in 2020
- -1.7% in Italy due to the lockdowns and the crisis which have mainly impacted the ground floor retail in Milan (-26%), already relet since then;
- -1.0% in German Offices, mainly linked to a departure of a tenant in an asset in Berlin, relet since then. The LFL excludes the Godewind portfolio, bought in 2020, and therefore covers a small scope;
-

- in France Offices (-€7.0 million), in 2020 and 2021 of mature assets in Western Crescent and French regions
- in Italy (-€7.4 million) non-core and core-mature assets
- in German Residential (-€2.1 million)
- in Hotels (-€0.5 million)

The portfolio grew by €0.2 billion to €17.3 billion Group Share (€26.1 billion in 100%) mostly due to the increase in value of the German Residential portfolio. At constant scope, Covivio proved its solidity with a +2.0% increase despite the difficult environment explained by:
- +5% driven by the development pipeline, as an acknowledgement for Covivio's development strategy for high quality assets in attractive locations
- +7.4% like-for-like growth on German Residential. All German cities where Covivio's residential portfolio is located showed like-for-like growth: in Berlin (+6.4%) with the cancellation of the Mietendeckel law, in North Rhine-Westphalia, the second largest exposure (+9.0%), Dresden & Leipzig (+8.4%) and Hamburg (+7.8%)
- -1.0% on Hotels, holding up reasonably well thanks to the B&B portfolio, which has been estimated upwards following the disposal of 11 assets of this portfolio.

1.2 Business analysis by segment
1.2.1 Offices: 58% Covivio's portfolio
The offices' market is facing a rapid acceleration of trends, both under the cyclical effect of the economic crisis and the structural changes linked to the development of work from home. In a more competitive environment, where the differences in performance between the different players and locations will be even more marked, Covivio is continuing to improve the quality of its portfolio and has key assets to continue to outperform.
Covivio owns offices in France, Italy, and Germany with a portfolio of €12.2 billion (€10.0 billion Group Share) at end-June 2021. For several years now, the Group has implemented an active asset rotation policy, reinforcing its footprint on inner-city locations. Thus, Covivio's portfolio has been refocused and now is located:
- 65% in Paris, Milan and the 5 main German cities, compared to 42% 6 years ago
- 28% in the best locations in Greater Paris (Issy-les-Moulineaux, Boulogne, La Défense, Chatillon/Montrouge, Vélizy/Meudon) and the major French cities
- the remaining 7% are mainly attributable to the portfolio leased to Telecom Italia for a 10-year term.
Exposure to these key locations will increase over the next few years, in particular due to the many redevelopment opportunities within the existing portfolio, located in prime areas, which will feed the development pipeline.

1.2.2.1 Polarized market holds up overall with investors still active
The first half of 2021 was marked by the pandemic and its two lockdowns, weighing on the office letting market, while theinvestment market for offices remained dynamic.
- Take-up in Paris region is recovering, beside a Q1 2020 less impacted, and benefitted from less restrictivelockdowns compared to last year to reach 765,600 m (+14% vs H1 2020), with an acceleration in the secondquarter (+34% vs Q1 2021)
- in Paris, take-up increased by 24% to 300,600 m2 ●
- in Greater Paris (excl. 2nd ring), the take-up (345,000 m) increased by 50% excluding the Total transactionin La Défense which has driven take-up in this area last year (126,000 m);
- The number of transactions for surfaces over 5,000 m has doubled up to 23 (vs 12 in H1 2020)
-
Vacancy rate slightly increased to 7.1% from 6.5% end-2020, close to the 10-year vacancy rate at 6.7%. The immediate supply now represents 4.0 million m2 (up 34% YoY), of which 29% of new space
-
For the first time since 2016, future available supply in Greater Paris decreased, to reach 2.1 million m2 stock under construction (31% pre-let)
- Average headline rents for new or restructured space and for second-hand space are stable on average year-on-year in Greater Paris:
- prime rents in Paris remains at its all-time high of €930 m2 /year. Covivio managed to sign a lease at this price in 2021 in one of its flagship development project in Paris CBD
- incentives in the Paris region increased to reach 23% at end-march, above the 5-year average (21%)
- Offices investments in the first semester of 2021 in Greater Paris totalled €4.5 billion, down 25% YoY but still in line with the average since 2010 despite the crisis. This asset class largely remains the most popular among investors accounting for 87% of the total investments in Greater Paris (€5.2 billion). There is still a significant gap between prime yields (stable between 2.50% -3.00% in Paris) and the 10-year OAT (0.0.46% in July 2021).
At end June 2021, the France Offices activity was marked by:
- +1% like-for-like value growth over one semester, thanks mainly to value creation on our development projects offsetting decreases on temporary challenging assets
- deliveries of 4 assets fully occupied in Paris, Montrouge and Montpellier, of which 3 are fully occupied.

Overall, rental income decreased by 8.5% to €97 million Group Share (-€9.1 million) as a result of:
- decrease of rental performance (-€2.8 million) with -2.8% on a like-for-like basis including mostly driven by releases in Paris South and La Défense relet since then
- deliveries (+€4.8 million) in 2020 and H1 2021 in major regional cities and in the 1st ring, 73% pre let on average before delivery
- releases of assets, essentially for redevelopment in the second half of 2020 (-€3.4 million), especially in Paris Centre West
- disposals (-€7.0 million), in 2020 and 2021 of mature assets in Western Crescent and French regions.

1.2.2.3 Annualized rents: €222.2 million Group Share
Thanks to the restructuring of the asset portfolio in the past years, the portfolio is now focused on:
- 26 assets in Paris new or with high potential for redevelopment (45% of portfolio value)
- 62 assets of high quality in Greater Paris and center of Major Regional Cities (53% of portfolio value)
- 31 non-core assets, 10 which are under disposal agreements (1%)
- 25 assets under study for residential development (1%).
The 4% decrease is mainly explained by the variation in the Western Crescent including La Défense (-15%). This decrease is explained by two effects on CB21: the release and the activation of a clause in the Suez' contract signed in 2013, reviewing to the current market level (ca. -10%). Suez is still engaged on CB21 for 4.0 years, for 66% of the surfaces of the tower.
This decrease has partially been offset by deliveries in the First Ring and in Paris South.
1.2.2.4 Indexation
The indexation effect is +€0.3 million (Group Share). For current leases:
- 88% of rental income is indexed to the ILAT (Service Sector rental index)
- 11% to the ICC (French construction cost index)
- the balance is indexed to the ILC or the IRL (rental reference index).

Despite the restrictions, Covivio proved its ability to sign contracts in a challenging environment:
- more than 45,000 m2 were renegotiated or renewed in 2021 with a +3 years lease extension on average. Covivio has notably renegotiated more than 33,000 m2 in Velizy with Eiffage at the same level of rent with a 10-year lease
- 23,600 m2 ● have been let or pre-let in the first half of 2021, including 15,000 m2 on development projects with:

-
Future supply is also limited, with around 4.2 million m2 under construction among which 3.5 million m2 will be delivered by the end of 2022:
-
little risk of oversupply in the short term: high pre-let ratio of 52%
- future available space until 2022 represents 1.0 year of take up (year 2019)
- Prime rents remain stable since end-2020 in Berlin, Düsseldorf, Munich and Hamburg while there is a slight decrease in Cologne (-3%).
- Investments in Germany Offices in the first half of 2021 amount to €11.2 billion (+8% vs H1 2020 and even 28% above the 10-year average) thanks to a very strong second quarter (€7.7 billion):
- Munich and Berlin showed great dynamism being the two most attractive cities (€2.8 billion each, with +139% vs H1 2020 for Munich)
- the office prime yield of 2.8% continues offering a strong premium compared to the Germany 10-years government bond of -0.338%.

The Germany Offices rental income grew by €4 million in Group Share compared to H1 2020, thanks to the full-year impact of the acquisition of Godewind assets executed in H1 2020. The rental income deriving from this portfolio was fully consolidated in H1 2021 when it amounted to 67% on average in H1 2020.
LFL on rental income excludes Godewind, bought in 2020, and therefore covers a small perimeter. The -1.0% LFL is mainly linked to a departure of a tenant in an asset in Berlin, relet since then.

Most of the €3.7 million of expiries in 2021 (0.5% of Covivio's annualized rents), are rental agreements on small office spaces, renewed automatically once a year and made with liberal companies (e.g. Medical doctors' offices).
€7 million of expiries are coming in 2022, representing 1% of Covivio annualized revenues. They include:
● €3 million are rental agreements on small office spaces, as mentioned above
● €4 million to be managed mainly in Hamburg, Munich and Frankfurt, among which €2 million are expected to be renewed.

1.2.5 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.
Covivio owns around ~40,800 apartments in Berlin, Hamburg, Dresden, Leipzig and North Rhine-Westphalia, representing €7.2 billion (€4.7 billion Group Share) of assets.
1.2.5.1 Strong market fundamentals
- Housing gap persists with a deficit of around 400,000 units in Germany:
- especially marked in Berlin with a lack of ~ 205,000 units
- unlikely to resorb: +5% population expected by 2030 while the number of building permits is increasing too slowly (+2.9% in May 2021 vs last year)
- the supply of apartments to rent in the city has fallen by almost 2/3 in 2020. The shortage increased with the Berlin rent regulation in 2020.
- This shortage continues to drive an important increase in rents & values in Germany. In the top 8 cities:
- rents rose by an average of 3.5% in 2020, to an average of €8.3/m2
- asking prices for apartments increased by 11% in 2020, bringing the cumulated 5-year growth to 56%.
tenant departures last year (WeWork break up and Wirecard bankruptcy for instance)
- in the meantime, assets in Berlin and Hamburg registered respectively a +0.8% and +2.0% like-for-like evolution.
- In Berlin in the first semester of 2021:
- the median asking rent on new buildings increased by 12.2% to €20.0/m2 over one year while asking rent on existing building follow an even more dynamic trend (+20.1% to €13.5/m2 )
- the median asking price grew by 5.4% and now stands above 5,130 €/m2 , well above the current valuation of Covivio's residential portfolio (€3,194/m2 in Berlin). Price for new buildings also reached a new high of €7,380/m2 (+13.1%).
- In February 2020, Berlin implemented the Mietendeckel law to freeze housing rents for five years and in November 2020 it set rent caps on most residential units. This law has been cancelled in April 2021, a legislation at the federal level being already in place.
In the first semester of 2021, Covivio's activities were marked by:
- the pursuit of rental growth: +3.8% on a like-for-like basis, driven by NRW and Berlin where the Mietendeckel has been cancelled in April
- strong value growth: +7.4% increase on a like-for-like basis
- acquisition of 592 units in Berlin at an average of €3,194/m2 and 2,000 m2 of land bank with a development potential of 32 units.

Rental income amounted to €83 million Group Share in H1 2021, up 5.8% (+€4.6 million) due to:
- in Berlin, the like-for-like rental growth recovers due to the cancellation of the Mietendeckel at +3.6% (+€1.4 million) and even +3.9% (+€1.1 million) on the residential side only
- Outside Berlin, like-for-like rental growth was strong in all areas (+4.0% on average, +€1.6 million) due to the reletting impact (including modernization) and the indexation
- acquisitions in 2020 and 2021 (+€1.4 million)
- disposals (-€2.1 million) mainly involving a portfolio of mature assets in Berlin and Leipzig in 2020 as well as some privatisations in Berlin.

The portfolio breakdown has been relatively stable for the past few periods, with Berlin generating 50% of the rental income, through residential units and some commercial units (mainly ground-floor retail).
Rental income per m2 (€7.8/m2 /month on average) offers solid growth potential through reversion in all our markets including, Berlin (20-25%), Hamburg (20-25%), Dresden and Leipzig (10-15%) and in North Rhine-Westphalia (15-20%).
1.2.5.4 Indexation
Rental income from residential property in Germany changes according to multiple mechanisms:
1.2.5.4.1 Rents for re-leased properties
In principle, rents may be increased freely, provided the property is not financed through governmental subsidies.
As an exception to the unrestricted rent setting principle, cities like Berlin, Hamburg, Cologne and 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%, except in the following conditions:
If the property has been modernised in the past three years, the rent for the re-let property may exceed the +10% limit by a maximum of 8% of the costs to modernise it.
In the event the property is completely modernised (work amounting to more than one-third of new construction costs), the rent may be increased freely.
If the rent received from the previous tenant is higher than the +10% limit, then the previous rent will be the limit in the case of re-letting.
Properties built after 1 October 2014 do not adhere to the rent cap.
1.2.5.4.2 For current leases
The rent can be adjusted through four methods stated below, only one method can be applied, as defined in the contract with the tenant, except for the free agreement, which can be added to the other three:
- 1. the current rent may be increased within three years by 15% to 20% depending on the region, however without exceeding the Mietspiegel or another rent benchmark. There can be multiple increases within the three years up to the 15% or 20% in total, but each increase has to be separated by 15 months
- 2. rent increase in accordance with the Indexmiete, which is determined by the German statistical office. Each increase has to be separated by 12 months
- 3. rent increase through a contract agreement with fixed dates for the rent increase. Each increase has to be separated by 12 months
- 4. optional Rent increase through an agreement of both parties, usually in the case of work to modernise the property on the tenant's request. This increase can be made at any time, but is the new start date for the 12 or 15-month time frame. This increase will be included into the cap of 15% or 20% as in 1. However if it is made after a 15% or 20% increase as in 1., the 15% or 20% cap can be exceeded.
1.2.5.4.3 For current leases with work carried out
If work has been carried out, rent may be increased by up to 8% of the cost of work, in addition to the possible increase according to the rent index. This increase is subject to three conditions:
- the work aims to save 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
1.2.5.5 Occupancy rate: a high level of 98.9%
the rent may not increase by more than €3/m2 ● for work to modernise the property within a six-year period (€2/m2 if the initial rent is below €7/m2 ).
In addition, in February 2020, the city of Berlin implemented a new law to freeze & cap the rents of most residential units. This regulation (Mietendeckel) has been cancelled by the Federal Constitution Court on 15 April 2021. All rents that have been decreased due to this regulation can now be set-up back to their market level. Covivio put in place a series of measures to help tenants face this change in regulation.
| (%) | 2020 | H1 2021 |
|---|---|---|
| Berlin | 98.3% | 98.5% |
| Dresden & Leipzig | 99.3% | 99.0% |
| Hamburg | 100.0% | 99.5% |
| North Rhine-Westphalia | 98.9% | 99.1% |
| TOTAL | 98.7% | 98.9% |
The occupancy rate remains high, at 98.9%. It has remained above 98% since the end of 2015 and reflects the Group's very high portfolio quality and low rental risk.

In the first half of 2021, Covivio sold assets for €27 million mainly through privatisations in Berlin.

Covivio's residential portfolio in Germany is valued at €2,581/m2 on average, offering a significant growth potential, especially in Berlin where the current valuation of residential units stands at €3,176/m2 , significantly below the average asking price of condominiums (€5,130/m2 at end June 2021).
In the first half of 2021, values increased by +7.4% on a like-for-like basis since end-2020 which represents yet another very dynamic period of growth:
- +6.4% in Berlin due to the increase in values in highly sought-after locations, almost back at the pre-Mietendeckel levels of growth, which has been cancelled in April 2021
- strong increase in NRW (+9.0%), Hamburg (+7.8%) and Dresden and Leipzig (8.4%) thanks to the continued dynamic of rental growth and the increase in value in large German cities.
1.2.5.9 Maintenance and modernisation Capex
In the first half of 2021, Capex totalled €30 million, (€11/m2 ; €19 million in Group Share) and OPEX came to €9 million (€3.1/m2 ; €6 million in Group Share), 22% below the Capex spent at half-2020 mainly due to the Covid situation.
Modernisation Capex, used to improve asset quality and increase rental income, accounts for 58% of the total (vs 50% half-2020). Due to a restrictive regulation in Berlin most of them were invested in NRW. The quality of the portfolio in NRW enables us to benefit both from rent and value increase in this area.
1.2.6 Hotels in Europe
Covivio Hotels, a subsidiary of Covivio held at 43.6% as of 30 June 2021, is a listed property investment company (SIIC) and leading hotel 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).
Covivio owns a high-quality hotel portfolio worth €6.5 billion (€2.5 billion in Group Share), focused on major European cities and let or operated by 16 major hotel operators such as Accor, B&B, IHG, NH Hotels, etc. This portfolio offers geographic and tenant diversification (across 12 European countries) and asset management possibilities via different ownership methods (hotel lease and Hotel Operating properties).
1.2.6.1 A difficult first half but optimism for the second semester of 2021
The pursuant of the lockdowns continued to weigh on hotels performances at the beginning of the year, but the acceleration of the vaccination campaign coupled with the gradual lifting of restrictions gives hope for a gradual recovery.
A slight improvement can be observed in May 2021, with an overall occupancy rate at the European level standing at 25.6% compared to 18% in April. The arrival of the summer season should allow the hotel sector to continue its current momentum, although uncertainty remains (mostly with the variant delta).

On the investment side, the volume of transactions recorded in Europe in the first semester of 2021 amounts to €4.7 billion, a decrease of 18% vs H1 2020 (which did not suffer integrally from the crisis), but an increase of 34% vs the second semester of 2020 (€3.5 billion).
This wait-and-see attitude can be explained by the uncertainty hanging over and by the difficulties in accessing financing for hotel assets. However, no discount could be observed on the few transactions carried out since the beginning of the year, with prices in line with the 2019 market (NH Calderon in Spain, JJW and Timhotel Berthier in France, Park Plaza London Riverbank and Hoxton art-hotel Shoreditch in the UK, etc)
Over the semester, Covivio Hotels managed to limit the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, improved its balance sheet and now is prepared for the recovery:
● like-for-like values were resilient (-1%) with stability on all the assets except one portfolio (UK, accounting for 13% of the total value), thanks to the quality of the portfolio, 88% of which is located in major regional cities, and to the agreements secured with the hotel operators
- capital increase of €250 million with the full support of the long-term shareholders, reducing the net debt and therefore the LTV, from 41.9% to 38.6%
- new agreements signed with 4 tenants (NH Hotels, Barcelo, Meininger et Melia Hotels International) to help them overcome the crisis.
Assets not wholly owned by Covivio Hotels include:
- 8 operating properties in Germany (94.9% owned)
- 90 B&B assets 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 were stable at only -€0.3 million Group Share compared to the first half of 2020, due to:
● leased hotels:
- the AccorInvest hotel portfolio (22% of the hotel portfolio), which is indexed on hotel turnover, decreased by 26% LFL compared to half-2020, due to the continuation of restrictions in Europe in H1 2021 while Q1 2020 was not impacted by the crisis. These midscale and economy hotels are located in France and Belgium
- hotels located in the UK (13% of the hotel portfolio): we anticipate the MAC Clause to be triggered again this year due to the government restrictions (hotels closed for 3.5 months on average); therefore, no rent is expected
- other leases: increase of €3.6 million Group Share mainly due to the integration of an acquisition in September 2020. No variation on a like-for-like basis
- operating hotels: mainly located in Germany and in the north of France. The decrease is due to the continuation of the restrictions in Europe in H1 2021 while Q1 2020 was no impacted by the crisis.

Despite the crisis, all our hotels are still fully let to operators, therefore the occupancy rate stands at 100%

At the end of June 2021, Covivio held a unique hotel portfolio of €2.5 billion (€6.5 billion at 100%) in Europe. This strategic portfolio is characterised by:
- high-quality locations: 90% with a Booking.com location grade superior to 8 and 88% in the centre of major European cities
- diversified portfolio: in terms of countries (12 countries, none representing more than 33% of the total portfolio), and segment (69% economic/midscale and 31% upscale)
- major hotel operators with long-term leases: 16 hotel operators with an average lease duration of 13.9 years.
The portfolio value decreased by -1.0% LfL, a mix of:
1. value adjustments on the UK portfolio (13% of hotels), -6.5% on these 12 assets leased to IHG, due to the longer lockdown period, MAC clause and their impact on the rent forecasts
Portfolio breakdown by value and geography
2. stable values elsewhere: resilience on 87% of the portfolio thanks to the excellent location of assets and the lease agreements reached with large operators.

France Offices: decrease mainly due to the sale of assets in 2020 and in first half year 2021 (-€7 million) and to releases for redevelopment (-€2 million).
Italy Offices: decrease due to the disposals in secondary locations outside Milan and non-strategic retail assets (-€6 million) and to space for redevelopment (-€1 million) offset by the delivery of developed assets (+€3 million).
Germany Offices: +€2 M due to the increase of ownership rate (65% H1 2020 vs 100% H1 2021).
German Residential: increase driven by the acquisition, the change in the rent regulation in Berlin (cancellation of Mietendeckel) and the pursuant of rental growth in the other areas
Hotels in Europe: activity still hit by the coronavirus crisis.
1.3.3.2 EBITDA from the Hotel Operating activity and flex-office
€4.2 million of EBITDA on the flex-office activity that increased slightly thanks to the ramp-up of this activity and the opening of new spaces in Milan. The Hotel Operating activity (-€1.5 million) declined because of the closure of hotels during general lockdowns.
1.3.3.3 Income from other activities
Net income from other activities comes from the income generated by the property development activity (€24 million) and marginally by car park activity (€1 million).
The car park activity decreased by €2 million mainly due to the lockdown, while the property development activity increased by €20 million due to the increase in the number of projects (including a new development in Office Italy) and to the increase in the percentage of completion.
1.3.3.4 Net operating costs
-€38.1 million including +€9.2 million in property management fees.
Net operating costs decreased by €1 million (-2.2%) due to savings on staff costs and travel expenses.
1.3.3.5 Amortisation of operating assets
Note that this item includes the amortisation linked to the right of use according to IFRS 16. This amortisation of right of use is mainly related to owner-occupied buildings and headquarters. The increase for the year is mainly due to a refurbishment in our own-occupied building (Gobelins).
1.3.3.6 Net change in provision and other
Before the application of IFRS 16, ground lease expenses and ground lease recharge were reported within net rental income. Because of the application of IFRS 16 "Leases", there is no longer a ground lease expense (this expense is replaced by an interest charge), therefore the ground lease recharge is reported under "Net change in provision and other" so as to not artificially increase Net rental income. During 2020 there was no ground lease recharge in UK companies; however, the amount is €1.4 million in H1-2021.
1.3.3.7 Net income from inventory properties
This item refers to the trading activity, mainly in Italy.
1.3.3.8 Change in the fair value of assets
The income statement recognises changes in the fair value (+€296 million) of assets based on appraisals carried out on the portfolio.
This line item does not include the change in fair value of assets recognised at amortised cost under IFRS but are taken into account in the EPRA NAV calculation (Hotel Operating properties, flex-office assets and other own-occupied buildings).
For more details on changes in the portfolio by activity, see section 1 of this document.
1.3.3.9 Income from asset disposals & disposal of securities
Income from asset disposals contributed +€6 million during the year. This gain is mainly in France Office activity (+€3.4 million).
1.3.3.10 Income from changes in scope and other
This item negatively impacted the income statement by around -€1 million. It includes costs linked to the acquisition of a Germany Offices listed company (squeeze-out costs).
1.3.3.11 Cost of net financial debt
The cost of net financial debt decreased thanks to continuous debt restructuring efforts. This line item was impacted last year by an early reimbursement of €4.8 million, while this year these costs are equal to €1 million.
1.3.3.12 Interest charges linked to finance lease liability
The Group rents some land. According to IFRS 16, such rental costs are stated as interest charges. The interest charges refer to the hotel activity for an amount equal to -€2.7 million.
1.3.3.13 Value adjustment on derivatives
The fair value of financial instruments (hedging instruments and ORNANE) is positively impacted by increasing interest rates. For the year, the P&L impact is a revenue of +€46 million, while for H1-2020 it was -€67 million.

In Italy Offices, the change (-€12 million) was mainly due to disposals for the year (-€50 million), the slight decrease in fair value (-€2 million) due to the negative performance on assets outside Milan and non-strategic retail assets, offset by the Capex & acquisition of the year (+€41 million).
The increase in German Residential (+€399 million) was mainly due to the growth in fair value (+€295 million), acquisitions, Capex and acquisitions (+€121 million), offset by the disposal for the year (-€11 million) and transfer from investment properties to inventories (development activity).
The decrease in the Hotels in Europe portfolio (-€19 million) was mainly driven by the disposals (-€22 million) and the change in fair value (-€29 million), offset by the change in foreign currency mainly in the UK portfolio (+€27 million) and the Capex (+€6 million).

1.4.5 Average interest rate on debt and sensitivity
The average interest rate on Covivio's debt decreased again significantly by 10 bps to 1.19% in Group Share. For information purposes, an increase of 25 basis points in the three-month Euribor rate would have a negative impact of 0.9% 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 2020, to 60% for Covivio and Covivio Hotels.
- The most restrictive ICR consolidated covenants applicable to the REITs, at 31 December 2020, are of 200% for Covivio and Covivio Hotels.
With respect to Covivio Immobilien (German Residential), for which almost all of the debt raised is "non-recourse" debt, portfolio financings do not contain any consolidated covenants.
Lastly, with respect to Covivio, some corporate credit facilities are subject to the following ratios:
| Ratio | Covenant | H1 2021 |
|---|---|---|
| LTV | 60.0% | 44.1%* |
| ICR | 200% | 705% |
| Secured debt ratio | 25.0% | 4.8% |
* Excluding duties and sales agreements.
All covenants were fully complied with at H1 2021. 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 30th June 2021 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.
1.5.8.2 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 €98.7 million value adjustment was recognised in EPRA NRV.
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 NRV was €14.0 million on the 30th June 2021.
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 NRV was adjusted for the difference resulting from the fair value appraisal of the assets for €29.5 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 NDV was adjusted for the fair value of fixed-rate debt. The impact was -€103.6 million at 30 June 2021.
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 €45.0 million at 30 June 2021.
1.5.8.7 Deferred tax liabilities
The EPRA NTA assumes that entities buy and sell assets, thereby crystallising certain levels of unavoidable deferred tax.
For this purpose, the Group uses the following method:
- Offices: takes into account 50% of deferred tax 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.

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 2021 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 2021.
Accounting principles and methods used
The accounting principles applied for the condensed consolidated financial statements as at 30 June 2021 are identical to those used for the consolidated financial statements as at 31 December 2020, except for new standards and amendments whose application was mandatory on or after 1 January 2021 and which were not applied early by the Group.
The following amendments, which are mandatory as of 1 January 2021, did not have any impact on the Group's consolidated financial statements:
- amendments to IFRS 4 "Insurance contracts provisional exemption from application of IFRS 9", adopted by the European Union on 15 December 2020. The deferred application is extended until the financial years beginning before 1 January 2023
- amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39, IFRS 7, IFRS 4 and IFRS 16 "in relation to the reform of interbank benchmark rates – phase 2", adopted by the European Union on 13 January 2021. These amendments specify the accounting treatment to be applied when replacing an old benchmark interest rate with a new benchmark in a given contract, as well as the impact of this change on the hedging relationships affected by the reform.
The main indices used by the Group and affected by the reform are the Euribor and the Libor GBP (respectively replaced by the hybrid Euribor and the SONIA by 2022). Work has been initiated with the main banking partners to ensure the transition to the new benchmarks. The interest rate hedging instruments affected by the reform are presented in section 2.2.5.11.5 "Derivatives". The application of these amendments has no impact at June 30th 2021 givent the absence of effective reference index at this date.
New standards awaiting adoption by the European Union, for which application is possible as of 1 January 2021, 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
● amendments to IFRS 16 "Reductions in rents related to Covid-19 beyond 30 June 2021", published on 31 March 2021. 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.
IFRS standards and amendments published by the IASB not authorised for financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2021, with no impact on the financial statements:
- IFRS 17 and "Insurance Contracts" amendments, published on 18 May 2017 and 25 June 2020. 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
- amendments to IAS 1 "Presentation of Financial Statements Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-Current", published on 23 January 2020 and 15 July 2020; the effective date is 1 January 2023 according to the IASB
- amendments to IAS 1 "Presentation of Financial Statements Practice Statement 2 – Disclosure of Accounting Policies", published on 12 February 2021; the effective date is 1 January 2023 according to the IASB. The purpose of these amendments is to help companies identify useful information on accounting methods for users of financial statements
- 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
- amendments to IAS 8 "Definition of accounting estimates", published on 12 February 2021; the effective date is 1 January 2023 according to the IASB. These amendments aim to facilitate the distinction between accounting methods and accounting estimates
- amendments to IAS 12 "Deferred tax related to assets and liabilities arising from the same transaction", published on 7 May 2021; the effective date is 1 January 2023 according to the IASB. This amendment specifies how entities must account for deferred taxes on transactions such as leases and decommissioning obligations.
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
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 § 2.2.5.1.4).

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 2021, the Covivio group's available cash and cash equivalents amounted to €2,716 million, including €1,437 million in confirmed credit lines, €1,118 million in cash and cash equivalents and €161 million in

The graph below summarises the maturities of borrowings (in € M) existing as at 30 June 2021:
The maturities in the graph above for 2021 include €1,458.4 million NEU Commercial Paper and NEU MTN.
The amount of interest payable until the maturity of the debt, estimated on the basis of the outstanding amount at 30 June 2021 and the average interest rate on the debt, totalled €674 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 first half of 2021, Covivio raised or renegotiated €265 million of long-term financing: €165 million for the refinancing of the Dassault Systèmes campus in Vélizy and €100 million for a 12-year Green Private Placement under the new EMTN programme.
Covivio Hotels secured a long-term financing of €150 million to refinance the Verdi portfolio.
In Germany, Covivio Immobilien SE raised, secured, or renegotiated €288 million in loans with average terms of approximately 8.7 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 2021, after taking interest rate swaps into account, approximately 75% 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 a 100 bps rate increase as at 30 June 2021 is a loss of -€14,923 thousand on the cost of 2021 Group Share of net financial debt
- The impact of a 50 bps rate increase as at 30 June 2021 is a loss of -€7,116 thousand on the cost of 2021 Group Share of net financial debt
- The impact of a 50 bps rate reduction as at 30 June 2021 is an increase of +€6,648 thousand on the cost of the 2021 Group Share of net financial debt.
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.
The counterparty risk in terms of hedging is included in the valuation of IFTs and amounted to €3,178 thousand at 30 June 2021.
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, Suez, AccorHotels, IHG, NH, B&B, etc.) generate approximately 33% of annual rental income.
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.
Following the Covid-19 pandemic, hotel closures and the deterioration in the operational performance of hotels that remained in operation may have led to a lack of rents or late payments. Covivio, a long-term partner of its main tenants, continued its policy of implementing solutions enabling them to weather the crisis.
The Group recorded an increase in gross trade receivables of €69.4 million over the period, mainly in the Hotels sector in Europe (+€61.6 million). This increase is mainly due to receivables from the 1 st unpaid half-year of the portfolio in the United Kingdom for €31 million (to be compared with the assets to be established for the financial years 2020 and 2021 for an amount of €71 million in the liabilities) and to the granting of new deferred payments for €12 million. However, given the financial strength of our tenants, the amount of impairment of trade receivables remained stable at €50 million compared to 31 December 2020.
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 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. This new regulation was invalidated by the German Federal Court in April 2021. The cancellation of this law had a positive effect on the appraisal value of the assets located in Berlin (readjustment of rents to market value) and an impact of +€3.5 million on rental income for the half-year.
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
- the outlook for revenue 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, Poland, Hungary, and the Czech Republic. 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 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 a convertible bond (ORNANE type) valued at each reporting date, proposals for corrections regarding 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 ORNANE Italy maturing in 2021 was redeemed in February 2021 (see note 2.2.5.11.4).
2.2.2.9 Tax environment
2.2.2.9.1 Change by country
- The French tax environment has undergone changes relating to the corporate income tax rate, which has been reduced to 26.5% from 1 January 2021 (versus 28% as at 1 January 2020). The rate will be 25% from 1 January 2022.
- The Group has not observed any significant change in the Italian tax environment.
- In the case of Germany, a reform, effective from 1 July 2021, amends the rules on the payment of registration fees ("real estate transfer tax", "RETT") in the event of acquisition of shares in companies. The main effect of this reform is to change the holding rate at which the RETT becomes payable, from 95% to 90%.
2.2.2.9.2 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:
● Tax audits of German Residential
Covivio Immobilien and some of its "Residential" subsidiaries were subject to a tax audit for fiscal years 2014 to 2019.
The tax authorities issued proposals for adjustments to corporate income tax in the amount of €10.9 million in principal and €2.6 million in default interest. Provisions are made for this risk in full in the financial statements at 30 June 2021 (increase in the provision of €0.3 million compared to 31 December 2020 following the update of late payment interest)
● Corporate tax audits Germany Offices
Two audits are currently underway on companies holding office assets in Germany for the years 2019 and 2020. Until now, the tax administration has retained a VAT lag of €0.1 million between 2019 and 2020
● Covivio Hotels/Hotels under lease – Belgium
Two companies in the Sunparks scope were subject to tax audits in the years 2017 and 2018. During these two financial years, Foncière Vielsam sold all of these cottages and the long-term lease of the Sunparks complex. Adjustment notices were received with regard to transfer pricing relating to intra-group interest rates, generating a loss of losses of €1.5 million and a corporate tax impact of €78 thousand. These adjustments are disputed and are not provisioned at 30 June 2021
● Tax audits on Beni Stabili, which merged with Covivio
Tax dispute Comit Fund – Beni Stabili:
On 17 April 2012, following a court decision, the Italian tax administration refunded the debt borne by Beni Stabili for the Comit Fund dispute (principal: €58.2 million and interest: €2.3 million). In April 2012, the Tax Administration appealed this decision. The Court of Appeal ruled in favour of the tax 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 had 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, Comit Fund is contesting this verdict and has filed an appeal with the Supreme Court. On the basis of the analysis of our advisors, no provision was entered at 30 June 2021.
2.2.3 Scope of consolidation
2.2.3.1 Accounting principles applicable to the scope of consolidation
Consolidated subsidiaries and structured entities – IFRS 10
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.
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
2.2.2.9.3 Deferred Taxation
A significant percentage of the Group's real estate companies have opted for the SIIC regime in France. The impact of deferred tax liabilities is therefore essentially present in German Residential, German Offices and Italy Offices. It is also linked to investments in Hotels in Europe (Germany, Spain, Belgium, Ireland, Netherlands, Portugal, the United Kingdom, Poland, Hungary and Czech Republic). 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%, Italian rate: 20%). Please note that the hotel management 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.
- 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.
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.
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.
2.2.3.2 Change in holding and/or in consolidation method
Share of the Alexanderplatz building with Covéa and Generali Vie – Impact rate of ownership
A partnership agreement was signed in June 2021 between Covivio, Covéa and Generali Vie to share the Alexanderplatz asset in Berlin. Covivio retains 55% of the share capital and continues to fully integrate Covivio Alexanderplatz Sarl.

2.2.4 Significant events during the period
Significant events during the period were as follows:
2.2.4.1 Main impacts of the Covid-19 crisis
Decrease in hotel revenues linked to the variable revenue portfolios and the operating properties
The continued lockdown in Europe and the closure of certain hotels continued to weigh on hotel performance at the beginning of the year. Occupancy rates remained low due to health restrictions affecting tourism and business travel.
Hotel rents in Europe were impacted by the decrease in AccorInvest variable rents of -€2.5 million compared to 30 June 2020 and the absence of rents in the United Kingdom due to the probable activation of the major underperformance clause.
Rent-free periods were granted to some tenants against extension of the lease period (average residual term of 12 years) amounting to €4.5 million. In accordance with IFRS 16, these benefits are treated as lease modifications and are linearised over the residual term of the leases. The impact of the linearisation of the deductibles granted in 2020 and 2021 amounts to -€0.7 million in the financial statements as of 30 June 2021.
The EBITDA of the hotels operated amounted to -€3.8 million at 30 June 2021 compared with €3.4 million at 30 June 2020, notably following the effect of the lack of impact of the health crisis in January and February 2020. Partial unemployment benefits received in the first half of 2021 amounted to €7.4 million compared with €5.2 million in the first half of 2020. In France, Covivio Hotels benefited from government subsidies put in place for the hotel sector for an amount of €5.8 million.
Decline in the value of hotel assets
The Hotels in Europe segment recorded a decline of -€64.8 million in value mainly on assets in the United Kingdom an asset in Spain and two Leisure assets.
As of 30 June 2021, impairment tests were performed. No impairment was recorded on the goodwill of hotels operated under operating properties. A 2.5% drop in the values of hotels in Operating properties would generate additional impairment of €0.5 million and a 5% drop would generate an impairment of €3.5 million.
Impairment of trade receivables
The first half of 2021 was impacted by write-downs of receivables and deferred payments related to the Covid-19 crisis for €2.4 million in Hotels in Europe.
2.2.4.2 France Offices
Disposals (€298 million – profit or loss on disposals net of fees: +€3 million) and assets under preliminary sale agreements (€44 million)
During the 1st half of 2021, Covivio sold the Issy-les-Moulineaux EDO, Lezennes Hélios and Lyon Duguesclin assets, as well as Marseille Astrolabe (in partnership). These disposals resulted in a gain of +€3 million.
At 30 June 2021, the amount of assets under preliminary sale agreement totalled €44 million.
Development projects
The asset development programme is presented in note 2.2.5.1.4.
The first half was marked by the delivery of three assets under development: Montrouge Flow, Montpellier Orange and Montpellier RIE, as well as the start of a new Lyon Sévigné project.
The Paris Gobelins asset, operated directly as part of the Flex Office activity, was also delivered during the half-year.
Refinancing and redemption
In January, Covivio issued a green bond offering of €100 million, due in 2033, offering a fixed coupon of 0.875%.

2.2.4.3 Italy Offices
Disposals (€83 million – profit or loss on disposals net of fees: +€3 million) and assets under preliminary agreement (€173 million)
During the period, assets were sold for a total sale price of €83 million.
At 30 June 2021, the amount of assets under preliminary sale agreement totalled €173 million.
In the first half of 2021, Covivio also sold the 17.90% stake it held in Investire Spa SGR for an amount of €13.3 million, equal to the net book value of the shares sold.
Signature of the Symbiosis project with SNAM – promotion activity
Covivio signed a contract with SNAM, the main Italian natural gas transport company, to build and sell a building of approximately 19,000 m2 . Currently under construction, the building will accommodate the company's head office when it is delivered in early 2024. The construction of this building is classified as a development activity and a percentage of completion margin of €5.4 million has been recognised in the financial statements at 30 June 2021.
Development projects
The asset development programme is presented in note 2.2.5.1.4.
The first half of 2021 was marked by the delivery of two assets under development: Milan Schievano Bâtiment B and Milan Schievano Bâtiment C.
Repayment of the ORNANE 2021 at maturity
In February 2021, Covivio redeemed the convertible bond (ORNANE 2021) at maturity for an amount of €200 million.
2.2.4.4 Hotels in Europe
Disposals of assets (€52 million – profit or loss on disposals net of fees: €0 million) and assets under preliminary sale agreement (€31 million)
During the period, Covivio Hotels sold ten Jardiland assets for €32 million, six Courtepaille assets for €7 million and one AccorInvest asset for €13 million.
As of 30 June 2021, sales commitments amounted to €31 million.
Refinancing and redemption
In the first half of 2021, Covivio Hotels repaid credit lines set up in 2020 as part of the Roco acquisition for a total of €175 million.
The company also redeemed the bond maturing in November 2021 for €187 million.

Strong increase in German Residential asset values
The Germany Residential segment recorded an increase of €459.7 million, mainly in Berlin.
Acquisitions (assets: €141 million)
The Group acquired a portfolio of assets located in Berlin for €141 million.

Early termination of the lease for the Beaugrenelle car park
The lease for the Beaugrenelle car park was terminated on 21 February 2021 (release effective 12 April 2021). An amount of €0.6 million was recognised in the financial statements at 30 June 2021 to compensate the operator for the loss related to the early termination of the service agreement. An exceptional depreciation of fixed assets of €0.8 million was also recorded over the period.
Pledge to sell parking activities
Covivio signed an agreement with Indigo Group to sell concessions and long-term leases for around ten car parks. This transaction is scheduled for early 2022.
2.2.5 Related notes to the statement of financial situation
2.2.5.1 Portfolio
2.2.5.1.1 Accounting principles applicable to tangible and intangible fixed assets
Intangible assets
Identifiable intangible fixed assets are amortised on a straight-line 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.
Business combinations (IFRS 3) and goodwill from acquisitions
An entity must determine whether a transaction or other event constitutes a business combination within the meaning of the definition of IFRS 3 which states that a company is an integrated set of activities and assets that can be operated and managed for the purpose of providing goods or services to clients, generating investment income (such as dividends or interest) or generating other income from ordinary activities.
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 is a business combination, the Group considers in particular whether an integrated set of activities and assets is acquired in addition to real estate and whether this set comprises at least one input and a substantial process which, together, contribute significantly to the capacity to generate outputs.
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.
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.
Costs related to the acquisition categorised under business combinations are recognised as expenses in accordance with IFRS 3 under "Income from changes in consolidation scope" in the income statement. The costs associated with an acquisition that does not qualify as a business combination are an integral part of the acquired assets.
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 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 2014 Red Book of the Royal Institution of chartered Surveyors (RICS).
The real estate portfolio directly held by the Group was appraised in full at 30 June 2021 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 German 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, 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 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.

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.
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 right-of-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.
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.
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 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:
| Buildings | 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.
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.

The portfolio of hotels held as Operating Properties totalled €1,016.2 million at 30 June 2021. In accordance with IAS 16, it is recognised under "Tangible fixed assets".
The total of the transfer column (-€7.9 million) corresponds mainly to the reclassification of works in the German Residential property development inventory.
The "Disbursements related to acquisition of tangible and intangible fixed assets" line in the Statement of Cash Flows (-€308.7 million) refers mainly to increases in the statement of changes in the portfolio excluding the effect of depreciation (-€313.4 million), restated for advances and down-payments already paid on properties under development (-€23.7 million), to changes in inventories of real estate trading and development companies (-€1.3 million) adjusted for changes in fixed asset trade payables (+€8.3 million) and restatements for step rental schemes and rent incentives (+€21.4 million).
The "Proceeds relating to the disposal of tangible and intangible fixed assets" line in the Statement of Cash Flows (€354.4 million) primarily corresponds to income from disposals as presented in section 2.2.6.3. Income from asset disposals (+€449.8 million), and to the proceeds from the disposal of assets in inventory (+€0.7 million), restated for the change in receivables on asset disposals (-€95.5 million) and down payments on asset disposals (-€0.6 million).

The "transfers and disposals" column notably includes the delivery of five assets for -€364.2 million (three assets in France Offices and two assets in Italy Offices) and the transfer of six assets supplying the pipeline for €21.4 million of buildings under development (the Lyon Sévigné France Offices asset: +€8 million and five new projects in Germany Residential: +€13.4 million).
The pandemic has caused a delay of around three months in the progress of work. There are no additional costs generated by the crisis other than those related to securing construction sites.
2.2.5.1.5 Expertise parameter
The Group has not identified the best use of an asset as being different from its current use. Consequently, the application of IFRS 13 did not lead to a modification of the assumptions used for the valuation of assets.

2.2.5.2 Financial assets
2.2.5.2.1 Accounting principles
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.
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 decrease for the period is mainly due to the reclassification of loan guarantee deposits as tenant guarantee deposits (-€0.4 million).
(2) Total other financial assets are broken down as follows:
● securities at historical cost: The change (+€1 million) is due to the injection of funds into Fondo Porta Romana in Italy Offices
● receivables on financial assets: The decrease mainly corresponds to receivables on disposals in Italy Offices (-€12 million).
(3) Including impairments on securities at historical cost held by Covivio in Italy (€1.6 million) and on receivables relating 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.

COVIVIO FIRST-HALF FINANCIAL REPORT 2021 89
As at 30 June 2021, the consolidated unrealised tax position showed a deferred tax asset of €90.4 million (versus €103.7 million as at 31 December 2020) and a deferred tax liability of €1,176.9 million (versus €1,077.2 million as at 31 December 2020).
The primary contributors to the net balance of deferred tax liabilities are:
- German Residential: €778 million
- Hotels in Europe: €232 million
- Germany Offices: €50 million
- Italy Offices: €26 million.
The increase in net deferred tax liabilities (+€113.1 million) is mainly due to the impact of deferred taxes relating to the increase in
2.2.5.5 Short-term loan
appraisal values (+€82.6 million) mainly in Germany Residential, the deferred tax liability on the Roco Portfolio in Hotels in Europe (+€3.6 million), the effect of the cancellation of IDA in the United Kingdom (+€5.1 million), the adjustment of the rate differential on a company in the Netherlands (+€1.8 million) and the cancellation of the deferred tax asset on the tax loss carry forwards recognised in 2020 on the Rock portfolio in hotels held as Operating Properties (+€10.9 million).
The impact on income is detailed in paragraph 2.2.6.9.2.
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 (+€0.5 million) is mainly due to the change in accrued interest on SWAPs (+€0.5 million).
2.2.5.6 Inventories and work-in-progress
2.2.5.6.1 Accounting principles applicable to inventories
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.
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).
2.2.5.6.2 Inventories and work-in-progress

| TOTAL INVENTORIES AND WORK-IN PROGRESS | 225,564 | 249,334 | -23,770 |
The balance sheet item "Inventories and work-in-progress" groups together inventories from trading activities in Italy Offices (€23 million), and assets dedicated to the real estate development business for €200.6 million.
In France, real estate development inventories consist exclusively of projects to transform office buildings or land reserves into residential units. When a development margin can be generated (depending on the percentage of completion and marketing) the stock decreases accordingly.
In Italy Offices, the decrease (-€35.6 million) is related to the signing of the agreement with the tenant SNAM on the basis of which the land located in the Symbiosis area in Milan and the studies were removed from the inventory.
The increase in inventories in Germany Residential (+€15.2 million) is linked to work on development assets (+€24.2 million), the disposal of development assets (-€17.1 million) and the reclassification as a development asset (+€7.7 million) from the investment property line.
The decrease in inventory in Germany Offices (-€6.2 million) is linked to the works (+€12.4 million) and the inventory removal during the period (-€18.6 million) on the Alexanderplatz 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 crisis. For unpaid bills relating to this crisis, impairments were recorded depending on the size of the tenant, its activity and the lease negotiations in progress (see § 2.2.4.1).
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.

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.

| NET TOTAL TRADE RECEIVABLES | 403,990 | 264,740 | 139,250 |
The change in trade receivables (+€139.2 million) is mainly due to the increase in expenses to be re-invoiced to tenants (+€82.8 million, of which +€41.3 million in Germany) and net trade receivables (+€69.4 million), reduced by the decrease in rent relief (-€13.0 million, of which -€10.5 million is related to the early renewal of the Eiffage head office lease, the historical deductible having been reclassified to investment property).
It should be noted that as of June 30, 2021, the rendering of expenses for 2021 are not made.
The increase in gross trade receivables is mainly due to lease receivables for the first half of 2021 for hotels in the United Kingdom for €30.6 million. On a symmetrical basis, assets to be established are recognised in liabilities for the same amount due to the probable activation of the major underperformance clause.
Impairment for trade receivables is stable. In Hotels in Europe, write-downs of receivables were recorded on receivables of an asset in Spain for €8.7 million, on deferred payments in Spain for €3.3 million and on receivables in France (retail) for €2.5 million.
In Germany, the increase in depreciation of receivables corresponds to a depreciation on vacant offices (+€0.6 million) and on vacant housing units (+€1.3 million).

- €108.7 million in government receivables comprise mainly VAT receivables.
- The change in receivables on disposals (€111.2 million) mainly concerns the France Offices (+€93.6 million) following the disposal of the Lyon 288 and Lezennes Hélios assets, the Italy Offices (+€15.8 million) and the Residential Germany segment (+€1.6 million).
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

| Cash at bank | 521,270 | 668,967 |
| TOTAL | 1,117,523 | 1,246,147 |
At 30 June 2021, the cash equivalents consist mainly of Level 1 standard money-market collective investment vehicles (SICAV) and Level 2 term deposits.
● 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.
Changes in the number of shares during the period
● 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).
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.
The Covivio share capital was 94,579,481 shares issued and fully paid up each with a par value of €3, i.e. €283.7 million at 30 June 2021. Covivio holds 210,051 treasury shares.

The dividend of €340 million was paid in cash and was taken from the 2020 net income, premiums and retained earnings.
Reserves correspond to parent company retained earnings and reserves, together with reserves from consolidation.
The line Other mainly includes movements in treasury shares for the period (-€1.9 million).
The change in non-controlling interests (+€293 million) is mainly related to the distributions for the period (-€82.0 million) and the total comprehensive income for the period attributable to non-controlling interests (+€170.5 million), the capital increase of Covivio Hotels (+€140.3 million) as well as the capital increase of Covivio Alexanderplatz after partners took a stake of 45% (+€63 million).
2.2.5.11 Statement of debts
2.2.5.11.1 Accounting principles applicable to debt
Financial liabilities include borrowings and other interest-bearing debt.
At initial recognition, financial liabilities are measured at fair value, 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. 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.
Certain financial instruments in Italy Offices are eligible for hedge accounting within the meaning of 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.

2.2.5.11.7 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 (German 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 2021.
The most restrictive consolidated ICR covenants amounted to 200% for Covivio and Covivio Hotels at 30 June 2021. As a precaution, Covivio Hotels has requested and obtained a waiver from its lenders for a suspension of the ICR covenant as at 30 June 2021.
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's banking covenants were fully complied with at 30 June 2021, as they stood at 44.1% for Group Share LTV, 705% for Group Share ICR, and 4.8% for the asset-secured debt ratio.
No financing has an accelerated payment clause contingent on Covivio or Covivio Hotels' rating, which is currently BBB+, stable outlook (Standard & Poor's rating).

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
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, the invoicing is quarterly except for the Germany Residential activity where the invoicing is monthly. 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
Share-based payments (IFRS 2)
The application of IFRS 2 has resulted in the recognition of an expense for benefits granted to employees as share-based payments. This expense is recorded in income for the year under overheads.
Free shares are valued by Covivio at the date of their award according to a binomial valuation model. This model takes into account the features of the plan (price and exercise period), market data upon award (risk-free rate, share price, volatility and expected dividends), and assumptions of beneficiary behaviour. The benefits thus granted are recognised as expenses over the vesting period, and offset by an increase in the consolidated reserves.
2.2.6.2 Operating income
2.2.6.2.1 Rental income
Rental income amounted to €423.2 million at 30 June 2021 compared with €435.2 million at 30 June 2020, a decrease of €12.0 million.
| (In € thousand) | 30/06/2021 | 30/06/2020 | Change in thousands of euros |
Change (in%) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| France Offices | 110,764 | 121,045 | -10,281 | -8.5% |
| Italy Offices | 78,705 | 88,177 | -9,472 | -10.7% |
| Germany Offices | 20,171 | 22,111 | -1,940 | n.a. |
| Total Offices rental income | 209,640 | 231,333 | -21,693 | -9.4% |
| Hotels in Europe | 78,623 | 75,867 | 2,756 | 3.6% |
| Germany Residential | 134,903 | 127,666 | 7,237 | 5.7% |
| Other (including French Residential) | 18 | 347 | -329 | -94.8% |
| TOTAL RENTAL INCOME | 423,184 | 435,213 | -12,029 | -2.8% |
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 (-8.5%), mainly due to the impact of asset disposals (-€6.5 million) and vacancies (-€4.5 million) fuelling the development pipeline, partially offset by the delivery of assets under development in 2020 and 2021 (+€3.5 million)
- a decrease in rents for Italy Offices (-10.7%), mainly due to disposals (-€10.4 million)
-
a decrease in rents for the Germany Offices (-€1.9 million) mainly on the partially vacant Zeughaus Hamburg and Frankfurt Airport Center assets
-
an increase in hotel rents in Europe (+€2.8 million, i.e. +3.6%), mainly due to the acquisitions made at the end of 2020 (Roco portfolio, +€9 million) minus the impact of the Covid-19 crisis (lockdown and closure of certain hotels) on AccorInvest variable rents (-€2.5 million) and disposals completed in 2020 and 2021 (-€3.2 million). As at 30 June 2020, no fixed rents have been recognised on assets in the United Kingdom due to the probably activation of the major underperformance clause
- an increase in rents in Germany Residential (+5.7%) following acquisitions (+€2.2 million) and re-letting/indexation (+€8.2 million), mitigated by disposals (-€3.2 million); note the cancellation of the law on rent caps in Berlin, which generated an impact of +€3.5 million on rental income.

| RATE FOR PROPERTY EXPENSES | -9.3% | -9.7% |
- Unrecovered rental costs: These expenses correspond to charges on vacant premises. Unrecovered rental expenses are presented net of re-invoicing to the income statement.
- In accordance with IFRS 15, income from re-invoicing of rental expenses is presented separately above when the company acts as principal.
- Expenses on properties: these consist of rental expenses that are borne by the owner, expenses related to works and expenses related to property management.
- Net losses on unrecoverable receivables: these consist of losses on unrecoverable receivables and net provisions on doubtful receivables. First half year 2020 was impacted by impairments on doubtful receivables related to the Covid-19 crisis for an amount of -€2.6 million in Italy Offices, -€1.5 million in Hotels in Europe and -€1.3 million in German Residential.
2.2.6.2.3 EBITDA from Hotel Operating activity and Flex Office and Income from other activities
| (In € thousand) | 30/06/2021 | 30/06/2020 | Change in thousands of euros |
Change (in%) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Revenues from Hotel Operating activity and Flex Office | 30,147 | 52,391 | -22,244 | -42.5% |
| Operating expenses of Hotel Operating activity and Flex Office | -29,723 | -45,778 | 16,055 | -35.1% |
| EBITDA FROM HOTEL OPERATING ACTIVITY AND FLEX OFFICE | 424 | 6,613 | -6,189 | -93.6% |
| Income from other activities | 36,457 | 22,163 | 14,294 | 64.5% |
| Expenses of other activities | -21,243 | -17,922 | -3,321 | 18.5% |
| INCOME FROM OTHER ACTIVITIES | 15,214 | 4,241 | 10,973 | 259% |
| TOTAL INCOME FROM OTHER ACTIVITIES | 15,638 | 10,854 | 4,784 | N.A. |
● EBITDA from Hotel Operating activity and Flex Office consists of the EBITDA of the hotels under operation (-€3.8 million versus +€3.4 million as at 30 June 2020) and the income from Flex Office (€4.2 million as at 30 June 2021 versus €3.2 million as at 30 June 2020). The decrease in the EBITDA of the hotels under management of -€7.2 million is related to the measures of lockdown and closure of certain hotels during the first half of 2021, while the months of January and February 2020 were only slightly impacted by the Covid-19 crisis.
● Income from other activities includes income from property development (€6.9 million) in Germany, Italy (€5.4 million) and France (€1.9 million), and car parks (€0.8 million). The decrease in the results of the Car parks activity of -€1.7 million compared to 30 June 2020 is explained by the decline in activity during the lockdown periods due to the Covid-19 crisis and the accounting exceptional depreciation of fixed assets related to the early termination of the Beaugrenelle car park lease.
Rental income for the first half of 2021 by operating segment
2.2.6.2.4 Net operating costs
These consist of head office expenses and operating costs net of revenues from management and administration activities.
| (In € thousand) | 30/06/2021 | 30/06/2020 | Change in thousands of euros |
Change (in%) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Management and administration income | 5,863 | 10,227 | -4,364 | -42.7% |

| TOTAL NET OPERATING COSTS | -54,181 | -55,766 | 1,586 | -2.8% |
The decrease in management and administration revenues of -€4.4 million is mainly due to a decrease in services in Italy Offices (-€2.5 million) due to the sale in 2020 of Revalo, active in property management on behalf of third parties.
Overheads include staff costs, which are described in a specific analysis under section 2.2.7.1.1.
2.2.6.2.5 Depreciation of operating assets and net change in provisions and other
| (In € thousand) | 30/06/2021 | 30/06/2020 | Change (in €K) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Depreciation of operating assets | -38,616 | -31,872 | -6,744 |
| Net change in provision and other | 9,193 | 6,481 | 2,711 |
Depreciation and amortisation of operating assets amounted to -€38.6 million at 30 June 2021, compared with -€31.9 million at 30 June 2020. This increase of -€6.7 million is mainly due to the impact of the scrapping of fixed assets following the restructuring of the Paris Gobelins Flex-office building (owner-occupied building) for -€7.1 million.
The Net change in provisions and other items includes the rebilling of long-term leases conferring ad rem rights to tenants (€6.4 million as at 30 June 2021 versus €5.2 million as at 30 June 2020) when the rental expense is restated. Indeed, in order not to distort the property expense ratio and following the cancellation of the rental expense in accordance with IFRS 16, the income from rebilling to tenants is presented as a net change in provisions and others. The change for the period is mainly due to the reinvoicing of long-term leases on the ROCO portfolio acquired at the end of 2020 (+€1.6 million).
The line "Net depreciation, amortisation and provisions" of the cash flow table of €34.5 million mainly includes a depreciation of operating assets of €38.6 million.

| Other (including French Residential) | 0 | -20 | 20 |
| TOTAL CHANGE IN FAIR VALUE OF PROPERTIES | 421,501 | 164,811 | 256,690 |
The €421.5 million positive change in the fair value of properties mainly relates to the German Residential portfolio for +€459.7 million (essentially assets located in Berlin). The Hotels in Europe segment recorded a decline of -€64.8 million in value mainly on assets in the United Kingdom and is stable for the rest of the portfolio.
2.2.6.5 Income from disposal of securities
In Germany Residential, Covivio sold the 5.1% stake it held in Solis for a disposal gain of €1.4 million.
A earn-out amount of €1.3 million was also received following the sale of shares in Spree Wohnen 2 in 2020.
2.2.6.6 Income from changes in scope
Income from changes in scope corresponds mainly to the acquisition costs of consolidated equity investments, which, in accordance with IFRS 3 Business Combinations, must be recognised as expenses for the year.
The line "Impact of changes in the scope of consolidation related to investment activities" (§ 39 of IAS 7) of -€18.0 million corresponds mainly to the acquisition of companies in Germany Residential for -€29.2 million and to the additional acquisition of shares in Covivio Office (formerly Godewind Immobilien) following a squeeze-out procedure for -€1.6 million, offset by the sale of shares in Investire Spa SGR in Italy Offices (+€13.3 million).

The rise in interest rates impacted the fair value of financial instruments by +€76.6 million. Thus, at 30 June 2021, net financial income amounted to a net expense of -€9.5 million against -€192.8 million at 30 June 2020.
The line "Cost of net financial debt and interest expenses on rental liabilities" of the TFT of €76.9 million corresponds to the cost of net financial debt for €76.1 million restated for the amortisation of loan issue expenses for €7.2 million, interest expense on rental liabilities for €7.2 million and foreign exchange gains and losses for €0.8 million.
2.2.6.9 Taxes payable and deferred tax liabilities
2.2.6.9.1 Accounting principles applicable to current and deferred taxes
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 2021, there are no exit tax liabilities on the balance sheet.
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.
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.
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.

2.2.7 Other information
2.2.7.1 Personnel remuneration and benefits
2.2.7.1.1 Staff costs
At 30 June 2021, personnel expenses amounted to €64.3 million (compared with €69.3 million at 30 June 2020), breaking down as follows:
| (In € thousand) | 30/06/2021 | 30/06/2020 |
|---|---|---|
| EBITDA from Hotel Operating activity and Flex Office | -12,992 | -18,130 |
| Overheads* | -37,737 | -41,510 |
| Income from asset disposals | -1,563 | -1,964 |

| TOTAL CAPITALISED PERSONNEL EXPENSES | -11,966 | -7,704 |
| TOTAL PERSONNEL EXPENSES | -64,258 | -69,308 |
* Including free share expenses: €4.7 M.
Personnel expenses included in the EBITDA from Hotel Operating activity and Flex Office item recorded a decrease of -€5.1 million related to the closure of some hotels during most of the first half and to the recourse to furlough measures. In this respect, the Group received grants amounting to approximately €7.4 million (short-time working, payment grants or exemption from employer contributions).
The Overheads item includes personnel expenses of €37.7 million, a decrease of €3.8 million compared to 30 June 2020. This decrease is mainly due to the sale of Revalo in Italy Offices (+€1.9 million) in connection with the decrease in operating revenues (see section 2.2.6.2.4), the decrease in personnel expenses in Germany Residential (+€1.5 million) and departures from employees in Germany Offices (+€0.9 million).
It should be noted that the expense on free shares increased by €1.8 million compared to 30 June 2020. Indeed, the decrease in the share price between 31 December 2019 and 30 June 2020 had a positive impact on the URSSAF charge on free shares (income of €2.0 million in 2020 compared to a charge of €0.4 million in 2021).
Headcount
At 30 June 2021, the headcount of fully consolidated companies, excluding companies in the Operating Properties business line, was 959 compared with 981 at 31 December 2020.

During the first half of 2021, the total number of free shares awarded was 61,675 (balance of 48,629 shares at 30 June 2021 following the departure of employees). 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 2021 amounted to €3,898 thousand, while the related social security contribution (URSSAF) was estimated at €380 thousand (charge). In addition, the URSSAF expenses paid in March 2021 for the shares vested from the 2018 plans were reclassified as free share expenses in the amount of €414 thousand. These expenses are presented in the income statement on the "Overheads" line.
The cost of the free shares includes the impact of the 2018 plan for €1,328 thousand, the 2019 plan for €898 thousand, the 2020 plan for €1,452 thousand, and the 2021 plan for €220 thousand.
2.2.7.2 Earnings per share and diluted earnings per share
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.

Statutory's auditor's report
Statutory auditors' review report on the half-yearly financial information
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 January 1, 2021 to June 30, 2021,
- the verification of the information presented in the half-yearly management report.
Due to the global crisis related to the Covid-19 pandemic, the condensed half-yearly consolidated financial statements of this period have been prepared and reviewed under specific conditions. Indeed, this crisis and the exceptional measures taken in the context of the state of sanitary emergency have had numerous consequences for companies, particularly on their operations and their financing, and have led to greater uncertainties on their future prospects. Those measures, such as travel restrictions and remote working, have also had an impact on the companies' internal organization and the performance of our procedures.
These condensed half-yearly consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Board of Directors. Our role is to express a conclusion on these financial statements based on our review.
1. Conclusion on the financial statements
We conducted our review in accordance with professional standards applicable in France.
A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with professional standards applicable in France and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying condensed half-yearly consolidated financial statements are not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34 – standard of the IFRSs as adopted by the European Union applicable to interim financial information.
2. Specific verification
We have also verified the information presented in the half-yearly management report on the condensed half-yearly consolidated financial statements subject to our review.
We have no matters to report as to its fair presentation and consistency with the condensed half-yearly consolidated financial statements.

Net asset value per share (NRV/share), NTA and NDV per share
NRV per share (NTA and NDV 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.
Operating assets
Properties leased or available for rent and actively marketed.
Rental activity
Rental activity includes mention of the total surface areas and the annualized rental income for renewed leases, vacated premises and new lettings during the period under review.
For renewed leases and new lettings, the figures provided take into account all contracts signed in the period so as to reflect the transactions completed, even if the start of the leases is subsequent to the period.
Lettings relating to assets under development (becoming effective at the delivery of the project) are identified under the heading "Pre-lets".
Cost of development projects
This indicator is calculated including interest costs. It includes the costs of the property and costs of construction.

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.
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.
Loan To Value (LTV)
The LTV calculation is detailed in Part 4 "Financial Resources"
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.
Annualized "topped-up" rental income corresponds to the gross amount of guaranteed rent for the full year based on existing assets at the period end, excluding any relief.
Portfolio
The portfolio presented includes investment properties, properties under development, as well as operating properties and properties in inventory for each of the entities, stated at their fair value. For the Hotel Operating properties it includes the valuation of the portfolio consolidated under the quity 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.
Yields/return
The portfolio returns are calculated according to the following formula:
Gross annualized 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 annualized rent (not corrected for vacancy) Acquisition value including duties or disposal value excluding duties
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.

Debt interest rate
● Average cost:
| Financial Cost of Bank Debt for the period | |
|---|---|
| + Financial Cost of Hedges for the period | |
| Average cost of debt outstanding in the year |
● Spot rate: Definition equivalent to average interest rate over a
period of time restricted to the last day of the period.
Occupancy rate
The occupancy rate corresponds to the spot financial occupancy rate at the end of the period and is calculated using the following formula:
1 – Loss of rental income through vacancies (calculated at MRV) Rental income of occupied assets + loss of rental income
This indicator is calculated solely for properties on which asset management work has been done and therefore does not include assets available under pre-leasing agreements. Occupancy rate are calculated using annualized data solely on the strategic activities portfolio.
The indicator "Occupancy rate" includes all portfolio assets except assets under development.
Like-for-like change in rent
This indicator compares rents recognised from one financial year to another without accounting for changes in scope: acquisitions, disposals, developments including the vacating and delivery of properties. The change is calculated 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 Lile-for-Like change is computed based on the rent in €/m2 spot N versus N-1 (without vacancy impact) on the basis of accounted rents.
For operating hotels (owned by FDMM), like-for-like change is calculated on an EBITDA basis
Restatement done:
- deconsolidation of acquisitions and disposals realized on the N and N-1 periods
- restatements of assets under works, i.e.:
- restatement of released assets for work (realized on N and N-1 years)
- restatement of deliveries of assets under works (realized 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 realized on the period
- restatement of work realized on asset under development during the N period.
