Covivio : un business model diversifié et un patrimoine de qualité
Avec un patrimoine de 26,1 Md€ (17,3 Md€ PdG) d'actifs en Europe, en croissance de 400 M€ sur le semestre, Covivio a construit son développement sur la diversification dans des activités où le groupe joue un rôle d'acteur de premier plan :
- 58% du patrimoine est composé de bureaux en France, Italie et Allemagne, majoritairement dans des localisations centrales à Paris, Milan et Berlin ;
- Le résidentiel en Allemagne représente 27% du patrimoine (+2 points sur le semestre). Il est situé dans les centres-villes de Berlin, Dresde, Leipzig, Hambourg et les grandes villes de la Rhénanie-du-Nord Westphalie ;
- Les hôtels (15% du patrimoine), situés dans les grandes villes touristiques européennes (Paris, Berlin, Rome, Madrid, Barcelone, Londres, etc.), sont loués ou gérés directement par les opérateurs leaders : AccorInvest, IHG, B&B, NH Hotels, etc.
Ce patrimoine est géré selon trois piliers stratégiques :
-
- La localisation au cœur des grandes métropoles européennes, en particulier Paris, Berlin et Milan. Ainsi, 96% des actifs se situent à moins de 5 minutes à pied d'un transport en commun.
-
- Le développement, afin d'offrir un immobilier neuf, alliant performance énergétique, bien-être et adaptation à l'évolution des usages. Covivio développe aujourd'hui 1,3 Md€ part du groupe de projets de bureaux et 274 M€ part du groupe de logements en Europe.
-
- La culture-clients, qui place l'utilisateur au centre de la stratégie. Covivio accompagne dans la durée ses clients-locataires dans leurs stratégies immobilières, en co-définissant avec eux leurs projets et nouant des relations partenariales fortes (maturité moyenne ferme des baux de 7 ans). Cela se traduit notamment par une approche conseil concrète, une politique servicielle ambitieuse et toujours plus de flexibilité, avec par exemple des offres hybrides alliant bail commercial et contrat flexible Wellio.
Stratégie ESG : nouvelle trajectoire carbone
Trois ans après la publication de sa trajectoire carbone, compatible avec le scénario 2°C de l'Accord de Paris et reconnue par le SBTi1 , Covivio accélère sa transition et relève le niveau de ses ambitions.
Couvrant l'ensemble des activités de Covivio en Europe (Bureaux, Résidentiel, Hôtels) et l'intégralité du cycle de vie des actifs (construction, restructuration et exploitation), cette trajectoire actualisée affiche un recul des émissions de - 20% entre 2010 et 2020, capitalisant notamment sur l'expérience acquise sur la construction bas carbone et le verdissement de près de 90% du portefeuille européen de Covivio (certifié HQE, ou BREEAM ou équivalent, avec l'objectif d'atteindre 100% d'ici 2025).
Covivio ambitionne désormais de réduire ses émissions de -40% (Scopes 1, 2 et 3), vs -34% précédemment.
Plus précisément, sur les Scopes 1 et 2 (immeubles multilocataires tertiaires en exploitation et locaux « corporate » accueillant les équipes), Covivio vise à présent la neutralité carbone, tout d'abord en s'alignant sur le scénario 1,5°C, puis en ayant recours à des mécanismes de compensation sur les émissions résiduelles.
Sur le scope 3 qui englobe la construction, la rénovation ainsi que l'exploitation des bureaux monolocataires et des surfaces privatives des immeubles multilocataires, ainsi que le résidentiel et les hôtels, Covivio vise l'alignement sur le scénario « well below 2°C », c'est-à-dire une trajectoire comprise entre 1,5° et 2°C.
Pour suivre ces objectifs et de manière plus générale l'ensemble des ambitions de Covivio en matière RSE, le Conseil d'administration de Covivio a décidé de se doter d'un Comité RSE, présidé par Christian Delaire, administrateur indépendant.

Déploiement de la stratégie en bureaux (58% du patrimoine) au 1er semestre 2021
Accélération des ventes
Au cours du 1er semestre, Covivio a signé pour 404 M€ part du groupe d'accords de vente avec une marge de +3,7% sur les dernières valeurs d'expertises. Les ventes en bureaux représentent plus de 80% de ce volume et 334 M€, dont 171 M€ d'actifs non core en Italie, notamment loués à Telecom Italia (avec +2% de marge) et 102 M€ d'actifs matures en France, à Lyon et Lille. En Allemagne, Covivio a réalisé auprès de Generali et Covéa le partage du projet de développement Alexanderplatz à Berlin, dorénavant détenu à 55%.
Depuis début 2020, Covivio aura ainsi signé pour plus de 1,0 Md€ de ventes de bureaux, avec une marge moyenne sur leur dernière valeur d'expertise supérieure à +5%.
Succès du pipeline de développement
Pilier stratégique de Covivio, le pipeline de développement est un élément clé permettant notamment de transformer des immeubles obsolètes en espaces de travail attractifs, adaptés aux nouvelles demandes des clients, tout en générant une création de valeur financière et extra-financière importante.
Au cours du semestre, cinq actifs de bureaux ont été livrés pour 307 M€ et 63 000 m² à Milan, Montrouge (Grand Paris), Paris 5e et Montpellier. Ces actifs sont d'ores et déjà loués à 97% à de grands comptes comme EDF, Orange, NTT Data ou Expertise France. Ce succès commercial, ainsi que la création de valeur totale de plus 40% par rapport à leur coût de revient, illustrent l'attractivité du pipeline de développement et son rôle de moteur de la croissance du groupe.
A fin juin, le pipeline de développement s'élève à 1,3 Md€ part du groupe autour de 12 projets à Paris, Lyon, Milan et Berlin, représentant 250 000 m². Au cours du semestre, de nouveaux contrats pour 39 000 m² ont été signés sur nos projets de développement. Covivio a notamment signé une vente utilisateur avec Snam, principale entreprise italienne de transport de gaz naturel, pour un immeuble de 19 000 m² situé sur la zone de Symbiosis à Milan. Actuellement en construction, il accueillera, à sa livraison début 2024, le siège social de l'entreprise. L'attractivité de la zone se confirme avec la prise à bail par LVMH de 3 900 m² sur le projet voisin Symbiosis D, livré fin 2021 et d'ores et déjà pré-loué à 72%.
A Paris, Roland Berger a choisi l'immeuble Jean Goujon pour y installer à sa livraison en 2022 son futur siège France, sur 3 700 m². A Lyon, ArchiMed a signé 2 270 m² sur Silex², nouvelle tour emblématique du cœur de ville, en face de la gare Part-Dieu, livrée en juillet et louée à 64%. Covivio accompagne aussi la croissance du groupe Onepoint, déjà partenaire-locataire sur deux sites, à Paris et Bordeaux, en signant un bail en l'état futur d'achèvement de 12 ans fermes sur 9 070 m² dans le cadre d'un nouveau développement à Bordeaux (Jardin de l'Ars). Ce projet vise à construire 19 200 m², désormais pré-loués à 50%, à horizon 2024, dans la zone Euratlantique, à proximité immédiate de la gare TGV Saint-Jean.
Dans un nouvel environnement de marché, Covivio s'appuie sur son pipeline de développement pour continuer à adapter son patrimoine avec notamment toujours plus de centralité. Ainsi, au cours des prochains mois, cinq nouveaux projets de redéveloppement d'immeubles existants seront engagés pour 670 M€ de coût de revient (y compris terrains). Tous situés dans les QCA de Paris, Berlin et Milan, ils doivent générer plus de 200 M€ de création de valeur cible.
En tenant compte des 450 M€ de création de valeur attendus sur le pipeline engagé à fin juin, ce sont plus de 650 M€ de création de valeur cible que doivent générer les projets de développement, dont 450 M€ restent à réaliser (4,8€ par action).
Accélération des transformations bureaux – logements
En France, Covivio accélère les conversions de bureaux obsolètes en logements. D'ici fin 2021, le pipeline de projets engagés aura été multiplié par 7 sur un an, avec 1 545 logements qui seront en cours de construction dans le Grand Paris et à Bordeaux, pour 256 M€ de coût de revient et une marge moyenne cible supérieure à 10%. Covivio a obtenu les permis de construire de la première phase d'un projet de 46 500 m² à Bordeaux Lac, et de trois redéveloppements de 20 900 m², 9 100 m² et 6 884 m² à Fontenay-sous-Bois, Bobigny et Chartres. A cela s'ajoutent 200 000 m² de projets potentiels identifiés sur des actifs de bureaux obsolètes en France.
Renforcement en résidentiel Allemagne (27% du patrimoine)
140 M€ (98 M€ PdG) d'acquisitions dans le centre de Berlin, avec 3,5% de rendement
Au cours du semestre, Covivio a acheté pour 140 M€ (3 200 €/m²) de logements à Berlin, avec un rendement moyen de 3,5%. Les 21 actifs acquis, situés dans le cœur de Berlin et déjà transformés en copropriété, représentent une surface totale de 44 000 m² et bénéficieront d'un programme de travaux et d'asset management pour en améliorer l'efficacité énergétique. Avec cette opération, Covivio poursuit sa stratégie d'investissement en Allemagne, développe son portefeuille résidentiel, et entend continuer à bénéficier de la dynamique positive de ce marché.
Le loyer moyen pour la partie logement est actuellement de 8,40 €/m², bien en dessous des loyers de marché. Grâce à sa politique active d'asset management et à ses programmes de travaux orientés vers l'efficacité énergétique, Covivio prévoit d'améliorer la qualité, le confort et l'attractivité de ces logements.
Poursuite de la croissance du pipeline de développement
Dans un marché marqué par une forte pénurie de logements, Covivio poursuit sa politique de construction de nouveaux appartements avec 1 100 unités en cours de développement pour 294 M€ (190 M€ PdG). Situés quasi exclusivement à Berlin, les 20 projets en cours doivent générer plus de 35% de création de valeur. A plus moyen terme, un pipeline maitrisé de 2 700 logements et 645 M€ (416 M€ PdG) viendra nourrir la croissance future.
Hôtels (15% du patrimoine) : des 1ers signes de reprise après un semestre impacté par les mesures de confinement
L'industrie hôtelière est restée impactée sur le 1er semestre par la crise sanitaire. À la suite de la montée en puissance des campagnes de vaccination, les pays ont, à partir du mois de mai, progressivement levé les restrictions administratives. Sur le mois de juin, on observe sur le marché des taux d'occupation2 de l'ordre de 54% au Royaume-Uni, 40% en France et 30% en Allemagne, les régions performant généralement mieux que les capitales. L'été 2021 devrait, comme en 2020, bénéficier du besoin et de la volonté de voyager, qui se manifestent dès que les restrictions s'assouplissent, avec des taux d'occupation en forte progression.
La classe d'actifs hôtelière continue à attirer l'appétit des investisseurs
Le volume d'investissements en immobilier hôtelier s'est élevé à 4,7 Md€ sur le 1er semestre, en baisse de -18% sur un an (le 1er trimestre 2020 n'avait pas encore été affecté par la crise sanitaire) mais en progression de +35% par rapport au second semestre 2020. Les récentes transactions font aussi ressortir des valorisations comparables aux niveaux d'avant crise, comme l'attestent notamment les ventes du portefeuille JJW en France (175 M€ et 680 K€/chambre), du Timhotel Paris Berthier (73 M€ et 3,8% de rendement) ou du NH Calderon à Barcelone (125 M€ et 4,1%).
Covivio dispose d'un patrimoine stratégique pour les opérateurs
Dans ce contexte de redémarrage progressif de l'activité, Covivio peut s'appuyer sur un patrimoine diversifié de 2,5 Md€ part du groupe, stratégique pour les opérateurs, grâce à sa localisation (note Booking.com moyenne de 8,8 / 10) et à sa rentabilité intrinsèque (taux d'effort moyen de 60% en 2019). Partenaire long terme des principaux opérateurs hôteliers, Covivio a œuvré pour la mise en place de solutions leur permettant de traverser la crise. De nouveaux accords, conclus avec 4 locataires représentant 27% du patrimoine hôtels en bail, ont permis d'alléger leurs difficultés, via des mesures d'accompagnement ou des facilités de paiement. Sur le 1 er semestre, le taux de collecte des loyers s'établit à 85% (69% y compris franchises et différés de paiement accordés).
Le portefeuille hôtelier de Covivio est bien positionné pour bénéficier de la reprise à venir : les revenus variables, concentrés en France et Allemagne, ainsi que les revenus du portefeuille britannique, sont générés essentiellement par une clientèle domestique ou régionale, qui voyage individuellement pour le loisir3 . La bonne dynamique de

ces marchés, notamment la France et l'Allemagne, s'est vérifiée durant l'été 2020, avec une reprise rapide suite à la levée des restrictions gouvernementales.

26 Md€ de patrimoine (17 Md€ PdG), en croissance de +2% à périmètre constant
Le patrimoine du groupe progresse de 400 M€ sur le semestre, à 26,1 Md€ et 17,3 Md€ Part du Groupe. A périmètre constant, la valeur des actifs croît de +2%.
En bureaux, la légère progression de +0,6% tient principalement aux succès sur le pipeline de développement, permettant de compenser les ajustements de valeurs sur quelques actifs faisant face à des enjeux locatifs ou situés dans des localisations impactées par la crise (comme La Défense, péri-Défense ou hors Milan en Italie). En bureaux France, les immeubles en développement ou livrés récemment ont ainsi généré +78 M€ de valeur sur le semestre.
En résidentiel allemand, les valeurs d'expertises gagnent +7,4%, grâce à une très bonne dynamique sur l'ensemble des villes et portées par un déséquilibre offre/demande de logements : en Rhénanie du Nord-Westphalie (+9,0%), à Dresde & Leipzig (+8,4%), Hambourg (+7,8%) mais aussi à Berlin (+6,4%).
En hôtels, la valeur du patrimoine se stabilise (-1,0% à périmètre constant) : l'ensemble du patrimoine voit ses valorisations stables à l'exception du Royaume Uni (13% du patrimoine, -6% à périmètre constant), portefeuille essentiellement composé d'actifs upscale pour lequel l'expert a revu les hypothèses de reprise et le taux d'actualisation.
Suite à la progression de valeurs en résidentiel allemand et au nouveau renforcement sur cette classe d'actifs, l'Allemagne représente maintenant 39% du patrimoine (+2 points), à égalité avec la France.
ANR en hausse de +4% sur un an en moyenne et stabilité de la LTV, malgré le paiement du dividende en numéraire
Portés par les hausses de valeurs, les ANR s'accroissent de +4% en moyenne sur un an, à 9 638 M€ et 101,6€ par action en EPRA NTA (EPRA NRV et EPRA NDV de 112,2€ et 91,7€). Sur six mois la croissance moyenne s'élève à +2%.
A fin juin, la LTV est stable vs fin 2020, à 41%, malgré le paiement de l'intégralité du dividende sur le semestre (340 M€), grâce à la dynamique de cessions et à la croissance des valeurs d'actifs.
Le taux moyen de la dette diminue à nouveau, à 1,2% vs 1,3% fin 2020, et l'ICR s'améliore à 7,1x. La maturité de la dette est stable, à 5,6 ans. En mai, S&P a confirmé la notation de crédit de Covivio à BBB+, perspective stable.

Revenus locatifs stables à périmètre constant hors hôtels
- Hôtels en bail uniquement
Les revenus locatifs du semestre se sont élevés à 419 M€ et 291 M€ en Part du Groupe. La performance sur les bureaux et résidentiel (85% du patrimoine) est quasi stable à périmètre constant (-0,4%) hors hôtels.
En bureaux, l'activité locative sur le semestre a été riche, avec 140 737 m² de nouvelles signatures (63 221 m² sur 9 ans fermes en moyenne) et de renouvellements de baux (77 520 m² sur 3 ans en moyenne). Outre les 39 000 m² signés sur les actifs livrés ou en développement, Covivio a signé 2 800 m² sur Carré Suffren à Paris 15e , proche de la Tour Eiffel, et 2 100 m² sur CB 21 à La Défense. A Milan, la dynamique est très positive : plusieurs nouveaux baux ont été signés pour un total de 5 200 m², dont 2 400 m² sur les tours Garibaldi, avec une hausse moyenne des loyers de +16%. En Allemagne, 10 700 m² ont été loués, principalement sur les immeubles Zeughaus, à Hambourg et Sunsquare à Munich.
Les renouvellements de baux ont concerné le campus Eiffage (33 270 m²), siège social du groupe situé à Vélizy, dorénavant loué jusqu'à fin 2030, ainsi qu'un actif de 30 000 m² à Milan, pour 3 ans fermes.
La baisse des loyers à périmètre constant en bureaux France s'explique par le départ de locataires principalement à la Défense (CB 21) et dans Paris (Carré Suffren, reloué depuis), ainsi que l'effet d'une indemnité de départ perçue en 2020. En Italie, les loyers ont été impactés par le départ de locataires dans les commerces de pieds d'immeuble, dans le cœur de Milan, reloués depuis, de sorte que le taux d'occupation reste stable sur le semestre, à 96,9%.
L'activité logements en Allemagne continue à être bien orientée. Les loyers progressent de +3,8% en moyenne à périmètre constant, dont +4,7% en Rhénanie-du-Nord Westphalie et +3,0% à Hambourg. A Berlin, compte tenu de l'annulation du gel des loyers, la croissance à périmètre constant atteint +3,6%. Pour rappel, le 15 avril, la Cour fédérale de Karlsruhe a annulé la réglementation sur le gel et plafonnement des loyers à Berlin (Mietendeckel), dont l'impact a été contre-productif sur l'offre de logements. Le taux d'occupation se maintient quant à lui à un niveau particulièrement élevé, de 98,9%.
En hôtels, les revenus ont diminué de -20% à périmètre constant, pénalisés par les mesures de confinement du 1er semestre et un effet base défavorable (1er trimestre 2020 très peu impacté par la crise). Pour rappel, 58% des hôtels du patrimoine sont en revenus variables.
Hausse de l'EPRA Earnings de +7,5% sur un an
A fin juin, l'EPRA Earnings s'établit à 207 M€, en croissance de +7,5% sur un an (2,19€ et +0,9% par action en raison de la création d'actions en 2020). La baisse des revenus locatifs liée aux ventes en bureaux et à l'impact de la crise sur les hôtels a été plus que compensée par la bonne dynamique des loyers en résidentiel allemand et la progression des marges de promotion. La structure de coûts s'est également améliorée, avec une légère baisse de -2% des coûts de fonctionnement et la nouvelle réduction de -9% du coût de l'endettement financier.
Perspectives 2021 relevées
Compte tenu de la bonne orientation des résultats du 1er semestre, Covivio relève son objectif d'EPRA Earnings pour 2021 entre 390 M€ à 400 M€ (4,1€ à 4,2€ par action) vs 380 M€ à 395 M€, en fonction du profil de la reprise en hôtels, et confirme son objectif de plus de 600 M€ de nouveaux accords de ventes.
Au-delà, Covivio dispose d'importants relais de croissance :
- En bureaux, la stratégie orientée sur le développement d'immeubles neufs et adaptés à la demande des utilisateurs doit continuer à générer d'importantes créations de valeurs. 450 M€ (soit 4,8 € par action) de création de valeur non encore captés dans les comptes sont ainsi attendus sur les projets engagés ou devant être engagés dans les prochains mois.
- En hôtels, la levée des mesures de confinement doit permettre une reprise progressive de l'activité sur la 2e partie de l'année. La baisse des revenus, de plus de 70 M€ par rapport à 2019, représente autant de potentiel de croissance pour les années qui viennent.
-
Enfin, en résidentiel en Allemagne, la valorisation actuelle du patrimoine, de plus de 50% inférieure aux prix de ventes des logements à l'unité, et le niveau des loyers, de 20% inférieurs aux niveaux réglementés, viendront nourrir la croissance future.

1 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):
- o -2.8% in France Offices, due to releases and renegotiation in Paris South and La Défense that occurred in 2020;
- o -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;
- o -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;
-
o +3.8% in German Residential, driven by North Rhine-Westphalia (+4.7%) and Mietendeckel cancelation in Berlin (+3.6%).
-
On Hotels activity, the like-for-like revenues decreased by 20.2% (-€5.9 million) due to the impact of the restrictions in hotel activity and a negative base effect (January and February 2020 not impacted by the crisis).
- Acquisitions (+€11.2 million) especially in German Offices (+€6.0 million) through Godewind, in Hotels (+€3.9 million), and German residential (+1.4 million).
- Deliveries of new assets (+€8.2 million), mainly in France (+4.8 million) in 2020 in major regional cities and in the 1st ring, and in Italy with two buildings in Milan (+€3.3 million).
- Asset disposals: (-€20.3 million), especially:
- o In France Offices (-€7.0 million), in 2020 and 2021 of mature assets in Western Crescent and French regions;
- o In Italy (-€7.4 million) non-core and mature assets;
- o In German Residential (-€2.1 million);
- o In Hotels (-€0.5 million);
- o Non-strategic assets (-€3.3 million) mainly retail in Italy and France.
- Vacating for redevelopment (-€4.7 million), in Paris Centre West and Milan on committed projects in the CBDs.
- Other effects (+€1.4 million).

Covivio will launch 5 projects all located in European CBDs with an estimated total cost including land at €0.7 billion, of which €0.1 billion of remaining CAPEX to spend.
The next office projects are expected to be committed in 2021 in central locations:
French residential managed projects:
Since 2017 Covivio has been constantly looking for opportunities to transform its secondary location offices into residential. To date 70,000 m² with obtained building permit are to be launched by the end of the year amounting to 1,100 flats. In addtition, more than 200,000 m² are under study with the will to progressively be launched after 2022. This pipeline amounts to 2,800 flats, 65% of which being in Greater Paris while the remainder is located in major regional cities.
Germany residential managed projects:
Covivio continues to strengthen its medium term pipeline thanks to existing landbanks and acquisition of new lands. This is 183,000 m² of residential areas that could be gradually launched in 2022 and beyond, most of it in Berlin and represent a total cost of ~€643 million (€416 million Group share).
Potential medium term projects in the office portfolio:
In 2022-2023, most of the assets to be potentially vacated considering the lease breaks and to be redevelopped as office or residential properties are located in Paris (4 buildings currently let to Orange; 26,600 m²), with four others in Greater Paris (61,200 m²).
Landbanks:
Covivio owns landbanks :
- in Greater Paris (60,000 m²) and Major French Cities (70,000 m² mainly for turnkey developments);
- in Milan with Symbiosis (60,000 m²), The Sign (15,000 m²) and Porta Romana (70,000 m²);
- in Berlin with the potential for a second tower of 70,000 m² in Alexanderplatz, and Plano (15 000m²), next to the existing Sunsquare building (15,000m²), a land in Leipzig (25,000m² lettable) and Dresden (5,000m²)

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 explained by:
- +5% driven by the office 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.

2. BUSINESS ANALYSIS BY SEGMENT
A. OFFICES: 58% OF 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 working 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 the 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.

B. FRANCE OFFICES: 33% OF COVIVIO'S PORTFOLIO
Covivio owns an office portfolio in France of €7.1 billion (€5.8 billion Group share) located:
- o 51% in Paris & Neuilly / Levallois;
- o 37% in top business districts of Greater Paris;
- o 12% in the centre of major regional cities.
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 the investment market for offices remained dynamic.
- Take-up in Paris region is recovering, beside a Q1 2020 less impacted, and benefitted from less restrictive lockdowns compared to last year to reach 765,600 m² (+14% vs H1 2020), with an acceleration in the second quarter (+34% vs Q1 2021)
- o In Paris, take-up increased by 24% to 300,600 m²;
- o In Greater Paris (excl. 2nd ring), the take-up (345,000 m²) increased by 50% excluding the Total transaction in La Défense which has driven take-up in this area last year (126,000 m²);
- o The number of transactions for surfaces over 5,000 m² 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% year-on-year), 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 yearon-year in Greater Paris.
- o 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;
- o 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% and 3.00% in Paris) and the 10-year OAT (0.046% 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 in Paris, Montrouge and Montpellier, of which 3 are fully occupied.

1LfL: Like-for-Like
Overall, rental income decreased by 8.5% to €97 million Group share (-€9.1 million) mainly as a result of:
- decrease of rental performance (-€2.8 million) with -2.8% on a like-for-like basis 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.

| Total | 1,502,850 | 144 | 232.0 | 271.5 | 222.2 | -4.2% | 100% |
Thanks to the restructuring of the asset portfolio in the past years, the portfolio is now focused on:
- o 26 assets in Paris, new or with high potential for redevelopment (45% of portfolio value);
- o 62 assets of high quality in Greater Paris and centre of major regional cities (53% of portfolio value);
- o 31 non-core assets, of which 10 are under disposal agreements (1%);
- o 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 surface area of the tower. This decrease has partially been offset by deliveries in the First Ring and in Paris South.
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 year 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:
- o 9,100 m² on Jardin de l'Ars in Bordeaux, to be delivered in 2024 but now already 50% pre-let with a 12 years lease to Onepoint;
- o 3,700 m² on Jean Goujon in Paris CBD, to be delivered in 2022 and now 46% pre-let with a 9 year-lease at a prime rent to Roland Berger;
- o 2,800 m² in Paris-Carré Suffren with one of the main actors in social housing in France, for 6 years;
- o 2,600 m² in Coeur d'Orly Belaïa: 2 new leases for 9 years on this asset that was delivered in 2020;
- o 2,300 m² in Silex 2 in Lyon, to Archimed, in a building in the heart of the Part-Dieu district, now 64% let that was delivered in July;
- o 2,100 m² in La Défense-CB21 with 3 new tenants
-
56,000 m2 was vacated, mostly in major regional cities (40,000 m²), Western Crescent & La Défense (7,400 m²), and Paris & Levallois (3,700 m²) including:
-
o 40,100 m² for redevelopment or residential redevelopment, mostly in major regional cities (Montpellier, Nice);
- o 11,100 m² on well positioned assets in central locations mainly in Paris, La Défense and Levallois, and well connected to public transports (in front of underground stations).

The firm residual duration of leases slightly increased at 4.8 years vs year-end-2020 (+0.2 year) thanks to renegotiations.
€18 million of expiries are coming in 2021, representing 2.6% of Covivio total annualised revenues. More than 90% of them are managed, mainly on assets to be vacated for redevelopment in Paris CBD (Monceau, Anjou, Madrid St Lazare).
In 2022, the €40 million of lease expiries representing 5.7% of Covivio annualised revenues are split as follow:
- 1.5% of Covivio annualised revenues (€10 million) to be managed, mainly on assets in Issy-les-Moulineaux/Boulogne (€6 million) already currently under negotiation
- 4.3% of Covivio annualised revenues (€30 million) already managed due to assets that will be vacated for redevelopment (€22 million), mostly located in Paris CBD (€14 million) or to break option that will not be exercised (€8 million).
6.2. Occupancy rate: 92.1% at end June 2021

| Major regional cities | 96.8% | 95.4% |
| Other French Regions | 84.1% | 71.0% |
| Total | 93.1% | 92.1% |
The occupancy rate level is in slight decline vs end-2020 (-1.0 pts), due to some releases in Paris (fully relet since then) and La Défense, where spaces have already been partially re-let despite the slowdown in the letting market. In Paris, the occupancy rate increased from 97.1% to 97.7% at end-June 2021.

Covivio has secured €102 million of disposals, mostly on mature assets in major regional cities, with +4% margin vs end-2020 appraisals, enabling it to finance development projects with strong value-creation potential:
- €94 million of mature assets located in Lyon and Lille, on which Covivio extracted the full potential of value creation through the entire real estate cycle: development, full letting at delivery achieving top rent, asset management and disposal.
- €8 million for 10 non-core assets in French regions. Now, only 31 non-core assets remain, equivalent to 1% of the France Offices' portfolio, with 10 under disposal agreements.

The weight of Milan Offices now represents 74% of the portfolio (+1 pt vs end-2020) and 91% excluding Telecom Italia assets. Milan's large share is in line with Covivio strategy to focus on major European cities.
- Milan portfolio values have grown (+1.1%), sustained by the development portfolio's good performance (+3.6%) despite some value adjustments on high street retail surfaces (-3.3%).
- Telecom Italia portfolio slightly increased (+0.5%), relying on its strong fundamentals:
- o 100% occupancy;
- o 10.2 years average lease term.
- Non-core offices (outside Milan) continue to show a decrease (-7.8%) due to the general market situation. Covivio has greatly reduced its exposure in the last few years to these assets, which now represent only 6.6% of the portfolio.
D. GERMANY OFFICES: 9% OF COVIVIO'S PORTFOLIO
Since 2019, Covivio has reinforced its presence in Germany Offices. capitalising on its existing platform with local teams, €200 million of existing assets in Berlin and a flagship development project in Berlin-Alexanderplatz.
Three acquisitions were made in Berlin in late 2019, and Covivio accelerated its strategy in early 2020 by acquiring 10 office assets located in Frankfurt, Düsseldorf, Hamburg and Munich through the public offer and delisting of Godewind Immobilien AG (renamed Covivio Office AG). The acquisition, announced on February 13th 2020, was closed on May 14th 2020 with the company's delisting.
The rental income deriving from this portfolio was consolidated at 44.9% in the first quarter 2020, at 89.3% in the second quarter and 99.8% in the second half of 2020 following the completion of the public offer. As of today, this portfolio is now fully consolidated.
Today Covivio boasts a strong Germany Office platform of 27 assets worth €1.7 billion (€1.5 billion Group share), located in the top 5 German cities (Berlin, Frankfurt, Düsseldorf, Hamburg and Munich).
1. Stable letting market, appetite for investments
- Take-up in German's top six markets remained stable in the first half of 2021 at 1.3 million m² but showed strong disparity between the cities: Frankfurt (+51%) and Hamburg (+25%) have known strong dynamism, Berlin showed resilience with its take-up increasing by 5% compared to last year while Düsseldorf (-36%) and Munich (-38%) suffered.
- Immediate supply is still scarce with a vacancy rate at 3.9% (+0.1 pt vs FY2020) on average, but with disparities: Berlin (2.2%), Hamburg (3.7%) and Munich (3.6%) show low vacancy while Düsseldorf (6.9%) and Frankfurt's (6.5%) levels' remain quite high.
- Future supply is also limited, with around 4.2 million m² under construction of which 3.5 million m² will be delivered by the end of 2022:
- o Little risk of oversupply in the short term: high pre-let ratio of 52%
- o 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).
- o Munich and Berlin showed great dynamism being the two most attractive cities (€2.8 billion each, with +139% vs H1 2020 for Munich).
- o The office prime yield of 2.8% continues offering a strong premium compared to the Germany 10-years government bond of -0.338%

1 LfL: Like-for-Like
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 whilst it amounted to 67% on average in H1 2020.
LFL on rental income excludes Godewind, bought in 2020, and therefore covers a small scope. The -1.0% LFL is mainly linked to a departure of a tenant in an asset in Berlin, relet since then.

The firm residual duration of leases stands at 4.8 years (vs 4.9 years at end-2020)
Most of the €3.7 million of expiries in 2021 (0.5% of Covivio's annualised rents), are rental agreements on small office spaces, renewed automatically once a year and made with companies in the liberal professions (e.g. Medical doctors' offices).
€7 million of expiries are coming in 2022, representing 1% of Covivio annualised 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.

The occupancy rate has improved and stands at 78.3% (+1.6 pt compared to year-end 2020) due mainly to lettings in Hamburg, Munich and Frankfurt.
71% of the vacancy (15 pts) is focused on Herzog-Terrassen in the centre of Düsseldorf (following cancellation of the WeWork lease), Zeughaus in Hamburg and Eight Dornach in Munich (previously occupied by Wirecard).

1LfL: Like-for-Like
Covivio Germany Office portfolio reaches a critical size with €1.7 billion of assets:
- The like-for-like change (-0.4%) includes decreases in valuation for assets in Munich and Dusseldorf which are still recovering from last year's tenant departures (WeWork break up and Wirecard bankruptcy for instance);
- In the meantime, assets in Berlin and Hamburg registered +0.8% and +2.0% like-for-like growth respectively.
E. 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. Strong market fundamentals
- Housing gap persists with a deficit of around 400,000 units in Germany:
- o Especially marked in Berlin with a lack of ~ 205,000 units.
- o Unlikely to resorb soon: +5% population expected by 2030 while the number of building permits is increasing too slowly (+2.9% in May 2021 vs last year)
- o 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:
- o Rents rose by an average of 3.5% in 2020, to an average of €8.3 /m²
- o Asking prices for apartments increased by 11% in 2020, bringing the aggregate 5-year growth to 56%
- In Berlin in the first semester of 2021:
- o 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).
- o 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). The square meter 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:
- Continued rental growth: +3.8% on a like-for-life 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 for an average of €3,194 /m² and 2,000 m² of land bank with a development potential of 32 units.

- 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 modernisation) 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.

3. Annualised rental income: €169.5 million Group share
1 Ground-floor retail, car parks, etc
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%).
4. Indexation
Rental income from residential property in Germany changes depending on multiple mechanisms:
• 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.
• 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:
-
- The current rent may be increased within three years by 15% to 20% depending on the region, but 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.
-
- Rent increase in accordance with the Indexmiete, which is determined by the German statistical office. Each increase has to be separated by 12 months.
-
- Rent increase through a contract agreement with fixed dates for the rent increase. Each increase has to be separated by 12 months.
-
- 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 in 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.
• For current leases with work carried out:
If works have been carried out, rents 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 works aim 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.
- The rent may not be increased 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 repealed by the Federal Constitution Court on April 15th, 2021. All rents that have been decreased by this regulation can now be put back to their market level. Covivio put in place a series of measures to help tenants face this change in regulation.

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:
69 units almost entirely in Berlin for €24 million (€15 million Group share) at a 51% margin. These privatisations above €4,200/m² reflect the highly unbalanced momentum in Berlin (demand vs supply and new construction).

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 growth levels before the Mietendeckel, which has been repealed 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.
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 in the first half of 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% in the first half of 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.
F. Hotels in Europe
Covivio Hotels, a 43.6%-owned subsidiary of Covivio 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. A difficult first half but optimism for the second semester of 2021
Continuing lockdowns weighed 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 delta variant).
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 lingering uncertainty and by the difficulties in accessing financing for hotel assets. 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:
- o 8 operating properties in Germany (94.9% owned)
- o 90 B&B assets in France (50.2%)
- o 11 B&B assets in Germany (93.0%)
- o 8 B&B assets in Germany, 5 of them 84.6% held and the other 3 90.0% held
- o 2 Motel One assets in Germany (94.0%)
- o Club Med Samoëns (50.1%)
- o 32 AccorInvest assets in France (30 assets) and Belgium (2 assets), 31.2% (26 assets) and 33.3% (6 assets) owned respectively

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.
3. Annualised revenue
Breakdown by operators and by country (based on 2021 fixed revenues and 2019 variable revenues) which amount to €135 million in Group share.

The firm lease duration remains very high at 13.9 years (-0.3 years vs end-2020), the main operation in the first half of 2021 being the renegotiation on one asset in Spain extending the lease by 8 years.
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.
- 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.

| Net revenue | 279.9 | 290.4 | +10.5 | +3.7% |
France Offices: decrease mainly due to the sale of assets in 2020 and in the 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 million due to the increase of ownership rate (65% H1 2020 vs 100% H1 2021).
German Residential: increase driven by acquisition, change in rent regulation in Berlin (repeal of Mietendeckel) and continuing rental growth in other areas.
Hotels in Europe: activity still hit by the coronavirus crisis.
- 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.
- 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 Italy Offices) and to the increase in the percentage of completion.
- 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.
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).
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 IFRS16 "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.
Net income from inventory properties:
This item refers to the trading activity, mainly in Italy.
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 is 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.
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).
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).
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.
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.
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.

The portfolio (including assets held for sale) at the end of December by operating segment is as follows:
| (In € million, Group share) | 2020 | H1 2021 | var. |
|---|---|---|---|
| France Offices | 5,523 | 5,393 | -130 |

| Car parks (and other) | 45 | 27 | -18 |
| Total Fixed Assets | 16,737 | 16,911 | 174 |
The decrease in France Offices (-€130 million) was mainly due to the disposals and scrapping (-€299 million) and the depreciation tied to own-occupied buildings (-€5 million), partly offset by +€144 million of CAPEX and the change in fair value (+€43 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), CAPEX and acquisitions (+€121 million), offset by disposals 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 foreign currency exchange gains mainly in the UK portfolio (+€27 million) and the CAPEX (+€6 million).
Assets held for sale (included in the total fixed assets above), €182 million at the end of June 2021
Assets held for sale consists of assets for which a preliminary sales agreement has been signed. The breakdown by segment is as follow:
- o 24% of offices in France.
- o 63% of offices in Italy.
- o 7.5% of hotels in Europe.
- o 5% of residential in Germany.
Total Group shareholders' equity
Shareholders' equity increased from €8,582 million at the end of 2020 to €8,715 million at 30 June 2021, i.e., an increase of €133 million, mainly due to:
- o Income for the period: +€467 million.
- o The dividend distribution: -€339.6 million.
- o Change in Other Comprehensive Income +€6 million.
Deferred tax liabilities
Net deferred taxes represent €670 million in liabilities versus €601 million on 31 December 2020. This €69 million increase is mainly due to the growth of appraisal values in Germany (+€53 million).

The liquidity position is also strong, with €2.3 billion available at end-June 2021 on Covivio SA, including €1.3 billion of undrawn credit lines and €1.0 billion of cash.
4.1. Main debt characteristics
| Group share | 2020 | H1 2021 |
|---|---|---|
| Net debt, Group share (€ million) | 7,861 | 8,050 |
| Average annual rate of debt | 1.29% | 1.19% |
| Average maturity of debt (in years) | 5.7 | 5.6 |
| Debt active hedging spot rate | 81% | 75% |
| Average maturity of hedging | 6.5 | 6.9 |
| LTV including duties | 40.9% | 41.2% |
| ICR | 6.1 | 7.1 |
4.2. Debt by type
Covivio's net debt stands at €8.1 billion in Group share at end-June 2021 (€11.0 billion on a consolidated basis), €0.2 billion higher compared to end-2020.
As regards the commitments attributable to the Group, the share of corporate debts (bonds and loans) remains at 52% at end-June 2021. Additionally, Covivio had €1.5 billion in commercial paper outstanding at 30 June 2021.
4.3. Debt maturity
The average maturity of Covivio's debt stands at 5.6 years at end-June 2021 (excluding commercial paper). Until 2024, there is no major maturity that has not already been covered or is already under renegotiation.
The next large maturities occur in 2024 and are mainly composed of a bond of €300 million (issue in 2017 with a coupon rate of 1.625%) and a mortgage debt of €285 million Group share linked to the Telecom Italia portfolio.

4.4. Hedging profile
At end-June 2021, the hedging management policy remained unchanged, with debt hedged at 85% on average over the year, at least 75% of which through short-term hedges, and all of which with maturities equivalent to or exceeding the debt maturity.
Based on net debt at 30 June 2021, Covivio is hedged at 75% with an average term of the hedges of 6.9 years Group share.
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.
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%¹ |
| ICR | 200% | 705% |
| Secured debt ratio | 25.0% | 4.8% |
1 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).

End-2020
Valuations are carried out in accordance with the Code of conduct applicable to SIICs and the Charter of property valuation expertise, the recommendations of the COB/CNCC working group chaired by Mr Barthès de Ruyter and the international plan in accordance with the standards of the International Valuation Standards Council (IVSC) and those of the Red Book of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS).
The real estate portfolio held directly by the Group was valued on 30 th 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 fair value essentially concerns the valuation of debt coverages and ORNANES.
For companies co-owned with other investors, only the Group share was considered.
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.
Fair value adjustment for the car parks
Car parks are valued at historical cost in the consolidated financial statements. NAV is restated to consider the appraisal value of these assets net of tax. The impact on EPRA NRV was €14.0 million on 30 June 2021.
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.
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.
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.
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.

7. GLOSSARY
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 annualised rental income for renewed leases, vacated premises and new lettings during the period under review.
For renewed leases and new lettings, the figures provided take into account all contracts signed in the period so as to reflect the transactions completed, even if the start of the leases is subsequent to the period.
Lettings relating to assets under development (becoming effective at the delivery of the project) are identified under the heading "Pre-lets".
Cost of development projects
This indicator is calculated including interest costs. It includes the costs of the property and costs of construction.
Definition of the acronyms and abbreviations used:
MRC: Major regional cities, i.e. Lyon, Bordeaux, Lille, Aix-Marseille, Montpellier, Nantes and Toulouse ED: Excluding Duties ID: Including Duties IDF: Paris region (Île-de-France) ILAT: French office rental index CCI: Construction Cost Index CPI: Consumer Price Index RRI: Rental Reference Index PACA: Provence-Alpes-Côte-d'Azur LFL: Like-for-Like GS: Group share CBD: Central Business District Rtn: Yield Chg: Change MRV: Market Rental Value
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 BBCeffinergieR, HPE, THPE or RT Global certifications.
Unpaid rent (%)
Unpaid rent corresponds to the net difference between charges, reversals and irrecoverable loss of income divided by rent invoiced. These appear directly in the income statement under net cost of irrecoverable 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 considering deferment of any relief granted to tenants, in accordance with IFRS standards.
The like-for-like rental income posted allows comparisons to be made between rental income from one year to the next, before taking changes to the portfolio (e.g. acquisitions, disposals, building works and development deliveries) into account. This indicator is based on assets in operation, i.e. properties leased or available for rent and actively marketed.
Annualised "topped-up" rental income corresponds to the gross amount of guaranteed rent for the full year based on existing assets at the period end, excluding any relief.
Portfolio
The portfolio presented includes investment properties, properties under development, as well as operating properties and properties in inventory for each of the entities, stated at their fair value. For the hotel operating properties it includes the valuation of the portfolio consolidated under the equity method. For offices in France, the portfolio includes asset valuations of Euromed and New Vélizy, which are consolidated under the equity method.
Projects
- Committed projects: these are projects for which promotion or construction contracts have been signed and/or work has begun and has not yet been completed at the closing date. The delivery date for the relevant asset has already been scheduled. They might pertain to VEFA (pre-construction) projects or to the repositioning of existing assets.
- Managed projects: These are projects that might be undertaken and that have no scheduled delivery date. In other words, projects for which the decision to launch operations has not been finalised.
Yields/return
The portfolio returns are calculated according to the following formula:
Gross annualised rent (not corrected for vacancy)
Value excl. duties for the relevant scope (operating or development)
The returns on asset disposals or acquisitions are calculated according to the following formula:
Gross annualised rent (not corrected for vacancy)
Acquisition value including duties or disposal value excluding duties
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 using the average number of shares (excluding treasury shares) over the period under review.
Calculation:
(+) Net Rental Income
- (+) EBITDA of hotels operating activities and Coworking
- (+) Income from other activities
(-) Net Operating Costs (including costs of structure, costs on development projects, revenues from administration and management)
- (-) Depreciation of operating assets
- (-) Net change in provisions and other
- (-) Cost of the net financial debt
- (-) Interest charges linked to finance lease liability
- (-) Net change in financial provisions
- (+) EPRA Earnings of companies consolidated under the equity method
- (-) Corporate taxes
- (=) EPRA Earnings
Surface
SHON: Gross surface
SUB: Gross used surface
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 annualised data solely on the strategic activities portfolio.
The "Occupancy rate" indicator 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 using 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:
- o Deconsolidation of acquisitions and disposals realised on the N and N-1 periods
- o Restatements of assets under works, ie:
- Restatement of released assets for work (realised on N and N-1 years)
- Restatement of deliveries of assets under works (realised on N and N-1 years).
Like-for-like change in value
This indicator is used to compare asset values from one financial year to the next 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:
- o Deconsolidation of acquisitions and disposals realised over the period
- o Restatement of work realised on assets under development during period N
