  • Appraisal value: €8.9 billion +1.3% like for like vs end 2010
  • NNNAV/share: €74.8 +3.5% vs end 2010

Perspectives of growth

  • Slight increase in the 2011 EPRA RNI– Growth of 3 to 5%/year as of 2012
  • Continuing value creation in the 2nd half
  • Proposed combination with Foncière Paris France

"This 1st half has been very active. We can now envision a slight increase in our EPRA Recurring Net Income for 2011. The proposed combination merger with Foncière Paris France is an attractive deal for Foncière des Régions, which is continuing its policy of investing in Offices and is strengthening itself in key markets. This deal will also allow us to consolidate our status as the leading Office real estate firm in Europe," said Foncière des Régions' Chief Executive Officer Christophe Kullman.

Significant leasing activity generating solid and long-term leasing revenue

Foncière des Régions' considerable leasing activity in the 1st half (30,300 m² in leases/relettings, including the leasing of the entire Carré Suffren property, 52,200 m² in renewals) allowed it to maintain a high Office occupancy rate at over 95%, as well as stable leasing revenue on a like-for-like basis, with a group share of €245.4 million.

Firm residual lease terms, which were already high, increased further to 6.2 years, counting only the group share, and nearly 7 years for Office assets.

A continuing policy of asset conversion, oriented toward value creation

Based on its strategy of partnership with major users, during this half, Foncière des Régions undertook €178 million in acquisitions, generating an average return of 7.5%. These acquisitions correspond particularly to four properties (two of which were off-plan) located in Ile-de-France (Rueil-Malmaison, Issy-les-Moulineaux, Clichy and Velizy) leased to major companies (Degrémont, Eiffage Construction, etc.) for a firm average term of 10 years.

Foncière des Régions also has a significant project pipeline, mostly offices, of new assets (turnkey) or assets to be renovated, partially preleased to major tenants (Véolia, Société Générale, EDF, etc.).

In total, development projects account for some €1.2 billion, group share, of including €330 millions, 80% pre-leased.

At the same time, €351 million in mature or non-strategic assets were sold at 4% above the appraised values at end-2010, yielding an average return of 6.0%.

All these sales illustrate Foncière des Régions' value-creation strategy, which is also aimed at consolidating its position as a leading player in office real estate for large users in Ile-de-France, Large Regional Cities and northern Italy.

Diversification of financial resources and improved cost of debt to 4.16% (vs. 4.39% in 2010)

Foncière des Régions successfully issued an ORNANE1 maturing on 1st January 2017, totalling 550 million euros. This issuance was at an annual interest rate of 3.34%. At the same time, €190 million in new mortgage financing and €225 million in corporate financing were implemented. In total, nearly €1 billion in new financing that have been negotiated since early 2011.

These transactions allowed it to diversify its financial resources, the average rate of which during the period improved to 4.16%, compared to 4.39% in 2010.

Given the dividend distribution which occurred during May 2011, the LTV debt ratio rose to 50.4%, up slightly from the end of 2010 (49.0%), but a clear improvement over the LTV at the end of June 2010 (53.4%).

EPRA Net Recurring Income: €143.6 million +3%

EPRA Net Recurring Income rose 3% to €143.6 million due to rental revenues increase in like-for-like (+0.2%), acquisitions and, decline in the average cost of debt, but despite disposals and the lower level of holdings in Beni Stabili.

Per share, this totals €2.61 for the period, down 5% versus the first half of 2010, due to the exercice of BSAs2 at the end of 2010.

Net IFRS income rose from €214 million to €315 million, benefiting specifically from the increase in the appraised value of our assets, and the change in fair value of financial instruments.

EPRA NAV: €81.5 +7,1% on a 12 months basis

EPRA NNNAV grew 3.6% to €4.122, largely due to appreciation in asset value (+1.3% likefor-like) and the RNI contribution, and despite the distribution of €4.20 per share during the half year. By share, triple net NAV grew 3.5% to €74.8.

For its part, EPRA NAV per share was stable at €81.5, up slightly from the end of 2010 but up 7.1% over the end of June 2010.

Perspectives of growth: Slight increase in 2011 EPRA RNI and continuing value creation in the 2nd half

Based on its position as a leading player in office real estate for large users, Foncière des Régions seeks to continue its value-creating real estate strategy by:

  • continuously adapting its assets through acquisitions, repositioning and development, especially in Ile-de-France, Large Regional Cities and northern Italy (pipeline of €1 billion);
  • dynamic asset management based on specialised local teams
  • measured diversification in key markets: Service Sector and local Logistics.

At the same time, the company also seeks to pursue a gradual diversification of its financial resources.

In terms of results, successful transactions this past 1st semester lead us to anticipate a slight increase in 2011 EPRA NRI and ongoing value creation in the second half of 2011. Finally, Foncière des Régions' target as of 2012 is an increase in the order of 3 to 5% per year in its EPRA NRI.

In July 2011, Foncière des Régions has signed contribution agreements with Covéa, Predica, Holding Wilson 250 and FPF management, as equities holders of Foncière Paris France, for their shares, OSRA3 and BSA4 .

This proposed combination will, in time, allows Foncière des Régions to increase the size of its assets by around €700 million and increase its exposure to the office markets of Paris and its inner suburbs. Foncière Paris France also has value-creating development projects and an experienced team, on which Foncière des Régions intends to rely to continue its growth.

2. MAJOR TRANSACTIONS DURING THE YEAR

Strengthening of shareholders' equity by some €200 million following the exercise of almost all share purchase warrants (BSAs) outstanding (subscription period activated 31 December 2010)

Foncière des Régions strengthened its shareholders' equity by €199.7 million following the exercise of 98.8% of these warrants (FR0010827378) for which the subscription period started 1 January 2010 and ended 31 December 2010.

In December 2009, Foncière des Régions made a free distribution of these warrants to holders of Foncière des Régions shares (1 warrant per FdR share). This distribution accompanied the purchase of a portfolio of 5 properties held by Groupama and Prédica, paid for in new Foncière des Régions shares.

As a result, 3,106,584 new shares were created following the transaction.

Leasing of 23,000 m² of Carré Suffren to AON, the Ministry of National Education and the French Institute

Foncière des Régions leased the Carré Suffren building, located at the foot of the Eiffel Tower in Paris, 15th arrondissement, to the insurance and reinsurance broker AON (15,000 m²), departments of the National Education Ministry (5,000 m²), and the French Institute (3,000 m²). All the remaining space was leased in H1 2011.

The building, which was acquired in partnership with Predica (40%) from the Atomic Energy Commission in November 2004 and delivered at end-2009, was completely renovated under the architect FS Braun & Associés. CBRE, Cushman & Wakefield and BNP Paribas Immobilier were lead managers of the deal.

Adoption of the new governance announced on 15 November 2010 at the General Shareholders' Meeting

The General Shareholders' Meeting of Foncière des Régions, held 31 January 2011, and the Board of Directors meeting that followed, adopted the new governance announced on 15 November 2010. The principal characteristics of this governance are the following:

  • adoption of the structure of société à Conseil d'Administration [French corporation with board of directors]
  • separation of the duties of the Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer, which correspond to Jean Laurent and Christophe Kullmann, respectively.
  • strengthening of the weight of the independent directors, who will henceforth represent 40% of the Board of Directors. 10 of the members will be the following:
  • o Jean Laurent*
  • o ACM Vie, represented by Catherine Allonas Barthe
  • o Aterno, represented by Romolo Bardin
  • o Jean-Luc Biamonti*
  • o GMF Vie, represented by Lionel Calvez
  • o Bertrand de Feydeau*
  • o Leonardo Del Vecchio
  • o Sergio Erede
  • o Predica, represented by Jérôme Grivet

o Pierre Vaquier* * Independent directors

The bylaws of Foncière des Régions as well as the composition of the various committees of the Board of Directors were therefore amended and may be consulted on the Foncière des Régions website (http://www.foncieredesregions.fr/Profil/Gouvernance).

Finally the Board appointed Olivier Estève and Aldo Mazzocco as managing directors, and Yan Perchet as Advisor to the Chairman.

Continuation of the partnership with Suez Environnement by acquiring the Degrémont headquarters at Rueil Malmaison for €43 million

Foncière des Régions acquired for €43 million, including TD, a property of 13,800 m2 located at Rueil Malmaison, in the growing market of Paris' western crescent. As the headquarters of Degrémont, a subsidiary of Suez Environnement, this property is leased in its entirety for 12 years firm, yielding an immediate net return of 8% excluding transfer duties (7.5% including transfer duties) and lease payments of €235/m²/year.

Increase in the holding of Foncière Europe Logistique's share capital to a total of 82% by acquiring the 14.6% held by a Morgan Stanley fund, for €47 million

On 11 May 2011, Foncière des Régions increased its interest in Foncière Europe Logistique to 82% by acquiring the 14.6% interest held by a Morgan Stanley fund (i.e., €2.8 per share), for €47 million.

This deal was an initial step toward ultimately holding 100% of this Logistics and Light Industry portfolio, and follows upon a strategic review of these assets.

The medium-term goal is to accelerate the valuation of the various categories of assets in the portfolio (logistics platforms in France and Germany, urban logistics in the Paris region, Light Industry in Paris intra-muros), by:

  • executing a programme of sales of logistics platforms
  • redeveloping sites in the Paris region

This acquisition will have an immediate positive impact in terms of NAV and recurring net income.

Issuance of an ORNANE* on 16 May 2011

On 16 May 2011 Foncière des Régions issued an ORNANE maturing 1 January 2017 with priority period, for a par value of approximately €480 million, capable of being increased to a maximum par value of approximately €550 million in the event of complete application of the Extension Clause.

After exercising the extension clause on 18 May 2011, bringing the total issuance to approximately €550 million, on 19 May 2011 Foncière des Régions announced the success of this issuance, which took place at an annual interest rate of 3.34% and a unit par value for the bonds of €85.86, yielding an issuance premium of 20% over the benchmark price of the Foncière des Régions share of €71.5468.

The purpose of this bond issuance was to diversify Foncière des Régions' sources of financing, and lengthen debt maturity. The proceeds of this issuance were dedicated primarily to refinancing existing lines of credit and, on a residual basis, financing the Company's general needs.

The company's largest shareholder, Delfin, holding 28.92% of the Company's share capital as of the Prospectus date, participated in this issuance within the framework of the priority period and the public offering in the amount of €150 million, representing 27.27% of the total issuance amount.

Compared to H1 2010, at H1 2011:

  • consolidated leasing revenue was up 1%, due primarily to acquisitions in Italy Offices and the increase in Accor revenue from Business Premises.
  • the group share of leasing revenue was down 7.2% due to the combined effect of sales and the decline in the percentage held in Beni Stabili, limited by the increase in the rate of holding in Foncière Europe Logistique.
  • on a like-for-like basis, lease payments were stable in the Offices sector, while the increase in Business Premises was offset by the decline in Logistics and Light Industrials
  • finally, as group share, leasing revenue was stable on a like-for-like basis.

Foncière des Régions' assets at 30 June 2011 totalled €8,934 million, compared to €8,640 million at 31 December 2010. The like-for-like change was 1.3% during the period. This increase in value derives largely from a slight compression in capitalisation rates among France Offices and an increase in Accor revenue from Business Premises.

4. ANALYSIS OF OPERATIONS BY BUSINESS SEGMENT

A. FRANCE OFFICES

Foncière des Régions initiated its growth phase by undertaking major outsourcing activities, such as purchases of the France Télécom and EDF portfolios. It was on this basis that it developed its partnership strategy with major users, who are now finding other sources of growth and value creation through, on the one hand, the completion of turn-key projects for top-tier companies who are historic tenants of Foncière des Régions (EDF at Clermont-Ferrand and Avignon) or new partners (Dassault Systèmes, Suez Environnement, etc.), and on the other hand, acquisitions to assist these large companies in their real estate strategy (Eiffage Construction headquarters at Vélizy, Veolia regional headquarters in Languedoc-Roussillon, and the headquarters of Degrémont, a Suez Environnement subsidiary, at Rueil-Malmaison).

Foncière des Régions is also developing new or renovated office assets at well-known tertiary locations with very good public transportation services.

The change in rental income between H1 2010 and H1 2011 was +€0.8 million, i.e., +0.6%. This change was due to the combined result of:

  • sales of assets occurring since 30 June 2010 (impact: -€10.6 million
  • acquisitions and additions to the scope of consolidation: +€2.8 million in assets of Degrémont, Véolia and the IBM portfolio, and +€9.6 million upon the start of the Suez Environnement lease for the CB 21 tower
  • releases of assets for purposes of sale: asset at Saint Mandé under sale agreement, and the Levallois Jules Guesde asset during the course of sale (impact: -€1.9 million
  • slightly positive like-for-like growth (+€1 million)

This constant like-for-like change of 0.8% must be analysed within the context of a stagnant leasing environment. It is the result of a rather insignificant indexation effect (+€0.7 million) and the cumulative effect of vacancies / relettings of +€0.3 million, primarily due to:

  • significant vacancies, the major ones of which will now be subject to renovation or sale:
  • o asset at Saint-Mandé (€2.8 million/year) in Q4 2010, under a sale agreement
  • o asset at Lille (€0.9 million/year) released in Q1 2011
  • o asset at Levallois, released in Q1 2011 (€0.2 million/year) for purposes of sale
  • o asset at Issy-les-Moulineaux, of which the sale of the three released floors is in the process of completion (€1.4 million/year)
  • individual negotiations with our major tenants, specifically the award of lease exemptions to EDF and ERDF within the context of the lengthening of their leases (impact of -€1 million)
  • leases of certain assets: marketing of the entire Carré Suffren building and re-letting of all vacant space at the Percier asset (Paris, 8th arrondissement). Most of these re-lettings had only a minimal effect in the first half of 2011 and will apply fully in the second half of 2011.

Breakdown by main tenants

* Annualised rental income at end of period

The concentration of Foncière des Régions' rental income among major users illustrates the continuation of our strategy. Currently, the ten largest tenants represent 80% of our annualised rental income.

The change in distribution by tenant is also reflective of our growth focus: the inclusion of a new user among the group's largest tenants (AON at Carré Suffren), a reduction in rental income from France Télécom and EDF, primarily due to sales of mature assets from these two portfolios, the sharing of our major individual operations (sale of 25% of the CB 21 Tower, which explains the lower rental income from Suez Environnement).

The change of -7% in the value of our annualised rental income was due to the automatic effect of these sales (-€28 million in rental income).

* Annualised rental income at end of period

The distribution of rental income by geographic region is very close to the distribution of our receipted rental income within 2011 first semester. Further, the major changes in rental income by region may be explained by leasing activity over the half-year period. We also note:

  • the slight decrease in our annualised rental income in Paris CBD, due primarily to the sale of an asset located in Paris, 16th arrondissement, (7,519 m²) at the end of last year, offset in part by re-lettings of the Percier asset (Paris CBD) and an asset located in Paris, 9th arrondissement.
  • acquisition of the Degrémont asset at Rueil-Malmaison, offsetting the targeted vacancies of 1st-ring assets, as well as the sale of 25% of the CB 21 Tower assets.
  • the cumulative impact of sales and vacancies outside Ile-de-France.

3. INDEXATION

The indexation effect is +€0.7 million over six months. Rental income subject to indexation floors (between 0% and 1%) represents 58% of annualised rental income, 8% of which is indexed to the ICC and 50% to a mix of 50% ICC and 50% IPC.

A joint analysis is currently underway concerning the conversion to the ILAT* of leases signed with our major users. *Tertiary Activities Rental Income Index

According to the policy of partnership and assistance for our major users, most of the vacancies that have occurred have been anticipated, and repositioning strategies have now been implemented:

  • an asset in Villeurbanne released by EDF (€2.3 million/year): starting July 2011, this asset will be subject to complete renovation to allow for the delivery of an HQE-Breeam and BBC labelled asset at end-2012
  • an asset in Lille Madeleine released by EDF (€0.8 million/year): the asset is in the process of renovation
  • Carnot in Fontenay released by BNP (€0.7 million/year)
  • an asset in Paris, 11th arrondissement, partially released by France Télécom in accordance with our approved agreements (€0.4 million/year) for which a renovation plan is in the process of completion
  • E0-category assets, released by France Télécom in accordance with our agreements (€0.4 million/year)
  • an asset in Levallois Guesde released entirely (€0.2 million/year), in the process of sale
  • an asset in Pantin, partially released by France Télécom in accordance with our approved agreements (€0.1 million/year) and for which a sale plan by instalments is in progress
  • six other assets in the regions or the 2nd ring, partially released (€0.3 million/year)

Asset management work carried out in recent months allows us to present a sum of "new leases" totalling €6.5 million, applying to lease terms greater than the average residual term of Foncière des Régions. Specifically, the following have been finalised:

  • the signing of three additional leases at the Carré Suffren asset, completing its placement on the market (French Institute, AIE and Ministry of National Education for €2.8 million in rental income as the Foncière des Régions share)
  • the renewed lease for released space in the asset located street Percier (Paris CBD) (€1.5 million)
  • the renewed lease at Thalès for vacant space at a building at Meudon (€0.7 million)
  • the renewed lease for the entire vacant balance of a property totalling 4,117 m² at Saint-Ouen, to Alstom, Bompard and Urbis Park (€0.2 million)

Re-lettings involved 11 assets for total rental income of €7.4 million, following upon individual negotiations with our major tenants such as France Télécom (€5.7 million).

Moreover, following the Routers 3 negotiations with France Télécom (which occurred in 2010), 129 new leases took effect on 1 January 2011, totalling €40.3 million, for a firm average term of 8.7 years of rental income.

5. EXPIRY SCHEDULE AND VACANCIES

Lease expiry schedule: 5.9 years firm residual lease term

France Office rental income by expiry date of firm leases in progress is broken down as follows:

* Based on annualised rental income for H1 2011

The firm residual term of the leases was 5.9 years, up 0.2 years versus end-2010. This increase is largely due to the complete lease of Carré Suffren with leases of 7 to 12 years firm, and the acquisition of Degrémont asset in Rueil-Malmaison, accompanying a lease of 12 years firm. The €6.8 million in rental income due in 2011 is concentrated largely on three assets, two of them subject to secure development projects (located at Le Chesnay, and in Paris, 16th arrondissement, i.e. - €4 million in rental income), with one asset in Puteaux soon to be released by Havas (i.e. -€1.5 million in rental income).

With less than a third of its rental income expiring in 2012-2014, Foncière des Régions continues to present a very secure lease base.

Vacancy rate and type: vacancies <5% at 30 June 2011

(%) 2010 H1 2011
Paris Region 6.7% 6.0%
Other French regions - GMR 4.2% 1.5%
Other French regions - Other 3.3% 2.9%
Total 5.7% 4.9%

The financial vacancy rate is at 4.9%, compared to 5.7% at 31 December 2010. With the asset management work described above, for the first time since 2008, Foncière des Régions encountered a level of financial vacancies below 5%. Specifically, all vacant space in Paris has been subject to re-lettings, at lease levels higher than or equal to previous lease levels.

Outside of these re-lettings, Foncière des Régions has also sold some 19,000 vacant m2 since the start of 2011.

At this time, the major vacant spaces include:

  • the Tour CB 21 asset, which accounts for 60% of total financial vacancies (for space of approximately 24,000 m²)
  • an asset located at Issy-les-Moulineaux accounting for 7% of total vacancies (3,200 m²).

As at the first half of 2011, Foncière des Régions entered into sale agreements for over €200 million in assets, all while yielding a significant margin of 4.2% over the appraised values of 31 December 2010. According to its targets, Foncière des Regions specifically sold assets located in the intermediate tertiary markets, as well as smaller assets (average size of assets sold: €4.5 million).

8. AGREEMENTS - ACQUISITIONS

During this semester, Foncière des Régions positioned itself in several individual asset acquisitions:

  • the off-plan purchase of the future headquarters of Eiffage Construction at Vélizy-Villacoublay. With the building in the process of construction, its value in the financial statements at 30 June 2011 reflects total accumulated disbursements on the asset. This asset of 10,000 m² will be released in October 2011, at which time Eiffage will become the tenant under a firm, 12-year lease. For Eiffage and Foncière des Régions, this building will be an environmental showcase, since for the 1st time in Ile-de-France for a tertiary property, it will benefit from the BBC/Effinergie label.*
  • the outsourced acquisition of the headquarters of Degrémont, a subsidiary of Suez Environnement, at Rueil-Malmaison. The acquisition is subject to the signing of a firm, 12-year lease.

* BBC/Effinergie is a label identifying new buildings or new parts of buildings whose low-energy profiles contribute to achieve 2050 goals: dividing greenhouse gas emissions by 4.

9. DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS

Development projects are in the process of being completed for the following:

  • New operations:
  • o Metz Amphitheatre: construction of 5,100 m² of offices located across from the Metz TGV train station. These offices will be partially leased to Foncière des Régions upon delivery in Q2 2012.
  • o Véolia Montpellier: Construction of a new building of 2,800 m² for the Véolia teams, delivered in Q1 2012.
  • Restructuring operations:
    • o 32 Grenier, 7,500 m² office space in Boulogne-Billancourt, benefiting from a very attractive location and from market-adapted services.
    • o other EDF building restructuring activities have now been launched: the turnkey renovation of the historic EDF property at Clermont Ferrand (9,189 m²), the launch of the renovation of the asset in Lille Madeleine, released by EDF (approximately 5,000 m²).

Some other development projects engaged by Foncière des Régions will begin in H2 2011.

  • New major urban operations or turnkey projects:
  • o Euromed Center in Marseille, developed in partnership with Prédica, which is composed of offices (4,800 m²), hotel, retail space and leisure activities. The first office buildings and common facilities will be delivered end 2013.
  • o completion of a turnkey project for EDF at Avignon (3,700 m², approximately €7.5 million in investment for delivery in 2014)
  • Operations involving the restructuring of the existing assets:
  • o turnkey renovation of a BBC property at Fontenay-sous-Bois on behalf of Société Générale (8,600 m² for a total of €33 million, delivery at end-2012)
  • o restructuring of a property in Villeurbanne, formerly occupied by EDF: 12,000 m² for a value of €33 million, delivery at end-2013.

All these developments will improve both the residual term of our leases, and the average quality of our portfolio. In effect, new properties, as well as renovations, show excellent environmental quality and will be subject to construction certifications and operating labels.

H1 2011 was marked by value appreciation of 1.9% on a like-for-like basis. This growth is largely due to:

  • the asset management work and specifically re-lettings for large Paris assets (Carré Suffren, Percier asset in Paris Central Business District)
  • compression in the capitalisation rates that benefited assets such as Dassault Systèmes at Vélizy-Villacoublay, as well as most of the Paris assets
  • implementation of value-creating real-estate strategies on assets worked on a case-by-case basis with France Télécom (€15 million in value creation for 22 assets)
  • appreciation in the value of our assets in development (+20%), due primarily to the high-quality development, which is almost completed, of the asset 32 Grenier in Boulogne-Billancourt, the purchase agreement signed for the asset at Bagnolet, and the early valuation of Metz Amphithéâtre..

Change in assets

At 30 June 2011, Foncière des Murs assets were valued at €3,180 excluding duties, up 2.5% over the half year on a like-for-like basis.

The increase in value is mainly due to the increase in Accor hotels revenues (+5.3%) and the indexations for fixed-rent assets.

Change in Assets on a like-for-like basis:

In the hotels sector, values rose by €58 million, up 3.4% on 31 December 2010 on a like-for-like basis. This change was mainly due to the 4.8% increase in variable rents over six months, in line with increase in Accor revenues.

The health sector improved by 2.4% over the six months, under the combined impact of the 1.1% rise in rents due to indexation in the period and the decline in yield rates.

Breakdown by business segment

Rental income at 30 June 2011 was €42.6 million, down 1.9% from 30 June 2010. This is due to:

• a decline in rental income of €0.9 million, a like-for-like basis.

The change in rental income on a like-for-like basis is explained mainly by:

  • the impact of re-letting and exits in 2010 and 2011: €0.7 million
  • renewals in 2010: €0.3 million
  • indexation: +€0.1 million.

Rental income

Group share of rental income declined by 7.2% to €245 million (vs €264 million) mainly due to its lower stake in Beni Stabili. The holding company's stake fell from 68.88% (average rate) to 50.9% (€74.7 million rental income in June 2010 versus €55.8 million in June 2011, an 18.8% decline in the Group's share of rental income.

The commissioning of the CB 21 Tower in the second half of 2010 (+€9.6 million) and the full consolidation of IBM (+€2.3 million) were mainly offset by the impact of sales and vacancies.

The increased stake in Foncière Europe Logistique in May 2011 also had an impact of €1.2 million during the halfyear. Rental income from Business Premises increased by 2.5% (+€0.6 million) due to strongly rising rents in the hotel sector.

On a consolidated basis, rental income rose by 1% (+€3.7 million):

  • Business Premises: +€2.5 million (+2.5%) • Italy Offices: +€1.2 million (1.1%)
  • France Offices: +€0.8 million (0.6%)
  • Logistics and Business Parks: -€0.8 million (1.9 %)

A. CALCULATION OF EPRA TRIPLE NET NAV

1. BASE – SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY:

The real estate portfolio held directly by the Group was fully appraised at 30 June 2011 by appraisers that are members of AFREXIM - DTZ Eurexi, CBRE, JLL, Atis Real - based on standard specifications drawn up by the Company in accordance with professional practice.

Assets are estimated at their value excluding and/or including duties, with rental income at market value. Estimates are arrived at using the comparison method, the rental income capitalisation method and the discounted cash flow method.

Car parks are valued by capitalising the EBITDA generated by the business.

Other assets and liabilities are valued based on the IFRS values from the consolidated financial statements; the fair value method is applied mainly to the valuation of hedges on debt. The level of exit tax is known and incorporated into the financial statements for all the companies that have opted for the fiscal transparency system.

Only the Group share of companies held jointly with other investors has been taken into account.

2. PRINCIPAL ADJUSTMENTS MADE

Fair valuation adjustments on buildings and goodwill

Under the IFRS standard, operating buildings, buildings under development (except those governed by IAS 40 as revised) and buildings in stock are valued at historical cost. A value adjustment of €12.2 million was applied to the NAV to take into account the appraised value.

Since goodwill is not valued in the consolidated financial statements, a restatement is made to the NAV to recognise its fair value (as calculated by the appraisers) in the amount of €11.9 million at 30 June 2011.

Fair value adjustments on car parks

Car parks are valued at historical cost in the consolidated financial statements. The NAV is adjusted to take into account the appraisal value of these assets and the effect of transfers and grants received in advance. The impact on the NAV at 30 June 2011 was €24.1 million.

Recalculation of the base for certain assets (excluding duties)

When a company, rather than the assets it holds, can be sold off, transfer duties are recalculated on the basis of the company's adjusted net asset value. The difference between the recalculated transfer duties and the transfer duties already deducted from the value of the assets led to a €39.6 million restatement at 30 June 2011.

1. DEBT BY TYPE

Foncière des Régions Group share of gross debt at 30 June 2011 was €5.19 billion (€8.07 billion consolidated) Most of Foncière des Régions debt consists of various secured loans taken out as and when for purchases of portfolios or property assets.

The bonds component of debt (until 2010 concentrated on Beni Stabili) increased significantly over H1 with the issue by Foncière des Régions of a first ORNANE (€550 million) in May 2011.

At 30 June 2011, the component consisting of bonds and similar instruments (negotiable debt securities, medium term negotiable bills) was €785 million Group share or 15% of consolidated debt Group share.

2. DEBT MATURITIES

The average duration of Foncière des Régions debt was 3.5 years as at 30 June 2011 (Group share). The main deadlines for repaying debts fall in 2013 and 2014.

Medium- and long-term debt repayments falling due in the second half of 2011 and during 2012 are, respectively, €26.1 million Group share (€38.3 million consolidated) and €336.8 million Group share (€602.4 million consolidated), with those maturing in 2012 concentrated on Beni Stabili in the amount of €256.4 million Group share (€504 million consolidated).

(*) excluding the convertible bond in the amount of €263 million maturing in the second half 2011 refinanced in the first half of 2010 (before falling due) by the issue of a new 5-year convertible bond in the amount of €225 million.

The chart below summarises the main debt repayment deadlines (Group share) and reflects the total liability.

The chart below summarises the main consolidated debt repayment deadlines and reflects the total liability.

3. PRINCIPAL CHANGES DURING THE PERIOD

  • New borrowings
  • Financing of the B&B purchase by Foncière des Murs

In January 2011, Foncière des Murs arranged a 10-year debt in the amount of €8.3 million Group share (€33 million consolidated) for the purchase of 18 B&B hotels in Germany.

• Issue of the Foncière des Régions ORNANE

In May 2011, Foncière des Régions issued a Convertible Bond maturing January 2017 in the amount of €550 million. The long-term debt (5.5 years), in addition to diversifying the Group's financial resources, offers the possibility of reducing the total cost of refinancing (3.34% coupon). This issue allowed it to repay more than €450 million of debt maturing 2011-2012.

• Refinancing of the Carré Suffren building

In early July 2011, the Carré Suffren debt (€120.5 million falling due at the end of 2011, €72.3 million Group share) was refinanced by a new 7-year debt in the amount of €84 million Group share (€140 million consolidated).

• Corporate financing

In late July, Foncière des Régions entered into various corporate borrowing arrangements in the total amount of €225 million, not backed by guarantees.

  • Change in scope / Repayments
  • IBM

IBM borrowing based on the portfolio acquired at the end of 2004 was repaid in April 2011 (before falling due) without refinancing. The residual debt was €25.8 million. This repayment allowed all the sureties (nearly €60 million at 30 June 2011) on these assets to be lifted.

• Early repayment of two revolving lines of credit on Foncière des Régions:

During H1 2011, Foncière des Régions repaid (and/or cancelled) €445 million in credit lines before falling due.

These early repayments allowed Foncière des Régions to free up all the securities held in Beni Stabili and Altarea and to meet, before falling due, the Group's only significant deadlines for the period 2011-2012 (outside the Beni Stabili scope).

Cancellation of part of the commitments on Foncière Europe Logistique:

On 30 June 2011, a €127 million commitment on the Roma debt (maturing 2014) was cancelled, reducing the maximum credit to €445.5 million.

B. HEDGING INTEREST RATE RISK AND COST OF DEBT

1. HEDGING PROFILE

The framework for the hedging policy remained unchanged in the first half of 2011, with 100% of debt hedged, including at least 75% based on firm hedges, all with longer maturities than the debt itself.

Based on net debt at 30 June 2011, Foncière des Régions was 90% firm hedged (Group share), versus 85% at the end of 2010, and 98% in total (88% actively hedged), versus 100% at year-end 2010 (88% actively hedged).

The average term of hedging is 4.9 years Group share (and also 4.9 years consolidated), 1.4 years longer than the average term of debt, in line with the Group's targets.

2. AVERAGE BORROWING COST AND SENSITIVITY

The average rate of Foncière des Régions bank debt was 4.16% Group share, versus 4.39% in 2010. This reduction was mainly due to the hedge restructuring we carried out in late 2010, taking advantage of low interest rates (the 3 month Euribor averaging 1.2% in the first half of 2011), the issuance of the ORNANE at 3.34% as well as the decline in our average margin (0.86% in the first half of 2011 versus 0.96% in 2010).

For reference, a 50 bp drop in the 3-month EURIBOR rate would have a €0.9 million positive impact on 2011 recurring net income, while a 50 bp rise would have a €1.0 million negative impact, representing approximately 0.4% of recurring net income.

C. FINANCIAL STRUCTURE

Excluding borrowing arrangement not covered by Group assets, the debt of Foncière des Régions and its subsidiaries is generally combined with bank covenants (ICR and LTV) that refer to the consolidated accounts which, if breached, could constitute grounds for early debt repayment. These covenants are prepared on a Group share basis for Foncière des Régions, and on a consolidated basis for its subsidiaries.

The most restrictive LTV covenant amounts to 70% for Foncière des Régions and Foncière des Murs and to 65% for Foncière Europe Logistique at 30 June 2011. Beni Stabili borrowing arrangements are only exceptionally combined with a consolidated LTV covenant (only 4 debts representing less than 10% of Beni Stabili consolidated debt is affected by such a covenant with a threshold that varies between 60% - for the smallest at €32.6 million - and 75%).

The thresholds for consolidated ICR covenants vary from company to company, mainly depending on the nature of their assets but are the same within each company (except for Foncière des Murs whose two earliest maturing debts (in 2013) have a 200% threshold and for Foncière Europe Logistique whose €78.45 million residual maturing debt (in 2014) has a 150% threshold).

  • for Foncière des Régions: 190%
  • for Foncière des Murs: 165% and 200%
  • for Foncière Europe Logistique: 125% and 150%
  • of borrowing (less than 2.9%).

• for Beni Stabili: 130%, although this covenant applies only to a very marginal volume

All of the financial covenants had been complied with as at 30 June 2011. The consolidate ratios of Foncière des Régions at 30 June 2011 was 50.4% for LTV Group Share and 2.79% for the ICR Group share (versus 49% and 2.28%, respectively, at 31 December 2010).

These covenants, analysed by accounting type and consolidated, are also usually combined with specific covenants for the segments financed (most of the group's debt being backed by portfolios). These "segment" covenants (more specifically "segment LTV") are based on thresholds that are usually less restrictive for companies of the Group than the thresholds used in the consolidated covenants.
