Commenting on the results, Jean-Marie Tritant, Chief Executive Officer, said:
"In 2024, we delivered strong operating performance across all activities. Our Flagship shopping centres demonstrated their strength, with higher tenant sales and footfall in all regions, while our proactive leasing strategy delivered the highest occupancy level since 2017.
Our Convention & Exhibition business delivered record results supported by the Paris Olympic and Paralympic Games, and Westfield Rise achieved the €75 Mn net margin target we set when this business was launched in 2022.
We achieved €1.6 Bn of disposals at book value, leading to a 100 basis point improvement in our loan to value ratio, which is now at its lowest level since 2019.
Our strong operating performance and disposal activity, combined with the stabilisation of retail asset values, allows us to propose a 40% increase in cash distribution to €3.50 per share – up from €2.50 per share last year.
Over the past four years, we have reshaped our portfolio through €6.4 Bn of disposals in Europe and the US, made significant deleveraging progress, enhanced our operations and transformed the Group's risk profile.
Having achieved this transformation, we have made the strategic decision to retain our high performing Flagship assets in the US, which will deliver further growth and value creation.
We will continue to deleverage through retained earnings, disciplined capital allocation and non-core disposals.
We look forward to sharing our future growth plans at our Investor Day on May 14, 2025."

Reported AREPS amounted to €9.85, above 2024 guidance and up +2.4% compared to 2023. This was supported by strong operational performance in retail, offices and Convention & Exhibition (C&E), which benefitted from the seasonality effect and the positive impact of the Paris Olympics and Paralympics (the "Olympics"). AREPS was impacted by 2023 and 2024 disposals, a slight increase in financial expenses and the increase in the coupon on the Group's hybrids.
Like-for-like shopping centre NRI14was up by +5.8% for the Group, with +6.0% in Continental Europe, +8.7% in the UK and +4.0% for US Flagships. This overall increase included the positive impact of indexation in Continental Europe (+3.0%), the contribution of positive leasing activity and higher revenue from retail media and parking income.

2024 tenant sales15 were up +4.5% at Group level compared to 2023 and footfall16 was up +2.6%.
In Europe, tenant sales were up +3.8% compared to 2023, above core inflation of 3.2% and national sales indices17 of 2.3%. At US Flagships, tenant sales were up +6.6% in 2024, outperforming the US national sales index 17 of 2.5% and above core inflation of 3.4%. This demonstrates that URW centres continue to gain market share.
In terms of leasing activity18 , the Group signed 2,123 leases for €465 Mn of MGR (+4.8% compared to 2023), leading to a vacancy reduction from 5.4% to 4.8%, its lowest level since 2017, including 3.2% in Continental Europe, 5.8% in the UK and 7.2% in the US (including 6.2% for US Flagships).
MGR uplift was +6.5% on top of indexed passing rents (vs. +6.9% in FY-2023) reflecting the effectiveness of the Group's leasing strategy and the strong appeal of URW's assets. The proportion of long-term deals signed reached 80% of MGR signed (vs. 79% in 2023). The MGR uplift for leases longer than 36 months was +11.1% for the Group, on top of indexed passing rents, with Continental Europe at +5.7%, the UK at +8.9% and the US at +29.9%.
Revenue from Retail Media & other income19 increased by +13.9% to €138.1 Mn in 2024 from €121.3 Mn in 2023.
Westfield Rise activity reached €75.1 Mn in net margin in 2024 in Europe, up +40.8% and +65.1% compared to 2023 and 2022 respectively, achieving the 2024 target announced at the Group's 2022 Investor Day.
Office NRI increased by +22.3% at Group level (+14.4% on a like-for-like basis), driven by the full-year effect of the leasing activity at Trinity tower, the performance of the Pullman Paris-Montparnasse hotel and the successful delivery of Lightwell, which is 80% let.
In addition, leasing of development projects continued, including Westfield Hamburg-Überseequartier offices, 64%20 pre-let at the end of 2024.
15 Tenant sales for all centres (except The Netherlands) in operation, including extensions of existing assets, but excluding deliveries of new brownfield projects and heavy refurbishment, newly acquired assets and assets under heavy refurbishment (CH Ursynów, Croydon, Westfield CNIT, Garbera, Centrum Černý Most) or works in the surrounding area (Fisketorvet) and Bonaire as the centre is closed temporarily since the flooding in October 2024, excluding Złote Tarasy as this centre is not managed by URW, excluding Carrousel du Louvre and excluding Auto category for Europe and Auto and Department Stores for the US.

Convention & Exhibition recurring Net Operating Income (NOI) in 2024 amounted to €218.6 Mn compared to €131.7 Mn in 2023 (+66.0%) and €190.2 Mn in 2022 (+14.9%).
2024 benefitted from the seasonality effect with a number of biennial shows and the Intermat triennial show, as well as the positive impact of the Olympics, which delivered a €53.7 Mn contribution to 2024 NOI at 100%.
As at December 31, 2024, signed and pre-booked events for 2025 amounted to c. 91% of expected 2025 rental income, in line with pre-covid levels.
General expenses were down -10.2% in 2024 reflecting the Group's continuous cost discipline.
URW achieved €1.6 Bn of disposal transactions21, of which €1.0 Bn (€0.9 Bn in IFRS) completed in 2024, despite a challenging retail investment market environment22 with volumes down -12% in Continental Europe and -13% in the US. This includes €0.7 Bn of non-core retail assets, €0.5 Bn of offices and €0.3 Bn of minority stakes in Flagship retail assets.
In addition, URW acquired €0.6 Bn23 of assets at attractive terms, including the remaining 50% stake in both Westfield Montgomery and CH Ursynów shopping centres, as well as an additional 38.9%stake in URW Germany.
The Total Investment Cost24 of URW's development pipeline increased from €2.5 Bn as at December 31, 2023 to €3.5 Bn as at December 31, 2024. This is mainly due to:
In 2024, the Group delivered 4 projects with an average letting25 of 88%, including 2 redevelopments in Paris La Défense, 1 in Copenhagen and 1 in Chicago.
21 Contribution to the proportionate net debt reduction of disposals completed or secured since January 2024. For further details, please refer to the appendix to this Press release.
22 Source: Cushman & Wakefield, estimates as at January, 2025.
23 Based on valuations as at December 31, 2024.
24 URW Total Investment Cost (TIC) equals 100% TIC multiplied by URW's percentage stake in the project, adjusted by specific own costs and income, if any. 100% TIC is expressed in value at completion. It equals the sum of: (i) all capital expenditures from the start of the project to the completion date and includes: land costs, construction costs, study costs, design costs, technical fees, tenant fitting-out costs paid for by the Group, letting fees and related costs, eviction costs and vacancy costs for renovations or redevelopments of standing assets; and (ii) opening marketing expenses.

The proportionate Gross Market Value (GMV) of the Group's assets as at December 31, 2024, increased by +0.3% to €49.7 Bn from €49.6 Bn as at December 31, 2023, mainly as a result of Capex, Acquisitions and Transfers (+€1.8 Bn) and currency effect (+€0.7 Bn), offset by a revaluation of non like-for-like assets and revaluation of shares (-€1.3 Bn), and disposals (-€0.9 Bn). Like-for-like portfolio revaluation (-€0.2 Bn) decreased by -0.5% mainly due to offices and services.
Like-for-like Shopping Centres valuation was up +0.2% for 2024, including +1.3% in Continental Europe, +4.9% in the UK and -4.3% in the US. It includes a rent impact of +1.4% and a yield impact of -1.3%.
The EPRA Net Reinstatement Value per share came to €143.80 as at December 31, 2024, a -2.0% decrease compared to €146.70 as at December 31, 2023.
As at December 31, 2024, the IFRS net debt was stable at €20.0 Bn compared to the previous year.
In 2024, URW raised €4.7 Bn of fully consolidated medium- to long-term funds in the bond, mortgage and bank markets (including credit facilities renewals).
The IFRS Loan-to-Value (LTV) ratio decreased to 41.7% (vs. 41.8% as at December 31, 2023) supported by 2024 disposals and a slight improvement in GMV despite the valuation decrease of Westfield Hamburg-Überseequartier project.
Proforma for the receipt of the proceeds from the disposals secured27 in 2024, the LTV28 would stand at 40.8% on an IFRS basis and 42.0% on a proportionate basis, well below 2023 levels.
EPRA LTV was down from 54.4% to 53.8% at year-end 2024, and 53.1% proforma for secured disposals thanks in particular to the issuance of URW shares against the acquisition from CPP Investments of a 38.9% stake in URW Germany.
26 GLA signed, all agreed to be signed and financials agreed.
27 i.e. the partial disposals of Westfield Forum des Halles and Trinity tower.

The Net Debt to EBITDA29 ratio improved to 8.7x in 2024 (from 9.3x in 2023), the lowest level since 2017, supported by solid operating performance and stable net debt.
The Interest Coverage Ratio (ICR) remained stable at 4.2x in 2024.
The liquidity position stood at €13.9 Bn including €5.3 Bn of cash on hand and €8.6 Bn of undrawn credit lines30, allowing the Group to cover its debt maturities for more than 36 months.

URW has now achieved a -42% reduction in carbon emissions from Scopes 1, 2 & 3 (vs. 2015) and a -37% reduction in energy intensity for retail assets. The Group has also reached 27.9 MWp of installed on-site renewable energy capacity, of which 17.9 MWp in Europe, on track to reach its objective of 50 MWp in Europe by 2030.

URW has now certified 14 assets representing 29% of its European retail portfolio, ahead of its target to certify 10 assets by the end of 2024.
In addition, URW expanded the Sustainable Retail Index, the Group's comprehensive sustainability rating system, to new retail sectors including Health & Beauty and General Services33 , achieving the 2024 target of 70% coverage of eligible revenues in Europe.

Over the last 4 years, the Group has significantly strengthened its business operations, fully capturing indexation over the period while achieving the highest occupancy rate since 2017 and a +4.7% increase in like-for-like EBITDA compared to 2019.
The Group also progressed on its deleveraging plan with €6.4 Bn34 of assets divested in line with book value, contributing to a €4.7 Bn net debt reduction to €19.5 Bn35 at the end of 2024, a 400 bps LTV reduction to 40.8%36 and Net Debt to EBITDA improvement to 8.7x, the lowest level since the Westfield acquisition.
The Group has also reshaped its US business by enhancing the portfolio quality (97% A-rated37), improving its operating performance, and streamlining the US management platform. The Group has sold or foreclosed on 17 assets for a total of \$3.3 Bn38 and reduced the vacancy level of its 10 Flagship assets by -630 bps.
Having achieved this transformation, URW has made the strategic decision to retain its high performing Flagship assets in the US.
The Group is committed to further deleveraging through retained earnings, disciplined capital allocation and non-core disposals.
The Group will present its future growth plans at an Investor Day on May 14, 2025.
The Group expects underlying growth of at least 5% to drive full-year 2025 AREPS in the range of €9.30 to €9.50.
This is supported by:
34 On an IFRS basis including the €0.6 Bn of secured disposals for 2025.
35 Pro-forma for disposals secured.
36 IFRS LTV Proforma for the receipt of the proceeds from the secured partial disposals of Westfield Forum des Halles and Trinity tower.

It also reflects:
As in previous years, this guidance assumes no major deterioration of the macro-economic and geopolitical environment.
The Group will propose to the AGM43 a 40% increase in cash distribution to €3.50/share to be paid on May 12, 2025.
Going forward, the Group will continue to increase the distribution according to operating performance, deleveraging progress and valuations evolution.
Further details on its distribution policy will be shared as part of the Group's Investor Day on May 14, 2025.
As at December 31, 2024, the total statutory retained losses of URW SE (parent company) is negative at -€1,887 Mn, including a profit of +€943 Mn in 2024.
Given the negative statutory results of URW SE, the Group has no obligation to pay a dividend in 2025 for the fiscal year 2024 under the SIIC regime and other REIT regimes it benefits from. The dividend distribution obligation resulting from the French SIIC regime will be delayed until URW has sufficient statutory results to meet this obligation.
As a consequence, the distribution will be made out of premium, which amounted to €13.5 Bn in URW's statutory accounts as at December 31, 2024. This premium distribution will not reduce the carry forward SIIC dividend payment obligation standing at €2,522 Mn as at December 31, 2024, and will qualify as an equity repayment44 for French tax purposes (article 112-1 of the French tax code).
40 Includes one deal signed under conditions precedent for €0.3 Bn.
41 Due to the full-year effect of 2024 refinancing activity and a lower cash remuneration.
42 For the acquisition of an additional 38.9% stake in URW Germany JV.
43 To be held on April 29, 2025.
44 For the tax treatment please refer to relevant financial advisors.

2 The Management Discussion & Analysis (MD&A) is based on the Financial statements prepared on a proportionate basis.
Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield's ("URW" or "the Group") consolidated financial statements as at December 31, 2024, were prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as adopted by the European Union as at that date.
The Group also prepares financial statements in a proportionate format, in which the joint-controlled entities are accounted for on a proportionate basis, instead of being accounted for using the equity method under IFRS. The business review and results are presented based on the financial statements on a proportionate basis, with no impact on the net results.
Certain amounts recorded in the consolidated financial statements reflect estimates and assumptions made by management in regards of complex geopolitical and macro-economic environment and difficulties in assessing their impacts and future prospects. In this context, management has taken into account these uncertainties on the basis of reliable information available at the date of the preparation of the consolidated financial statements, particularly with regards to the fair value of investment properties and financial instruments, the estimation of the provision for doubtful debtors, as well as the testing of goodwill and intangible assets.
Due to inherent uncertainties associated with estimates, the Group reviews those estimates based on regularly updated information. Actual results might eventually differ from estimates made at the date of the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.
97% of URW's property portfolio and intangible assets related to the Shopping Centres, Offices & Others, Convention & Exhibition and Services segments were valued by independent appraisers as at December 31, 2024.
The principal changes in the scope of consolidation since December 31, 2023, are:
URW operates its owned assets in 11 countries grouped in 9 regions: France, the United States of America ("US"), Poland, Czech Republic ("Central Europe"), the United Kingdom ("UK"), Sweden, Denmark ("Nordics"), Spain, Austria, Germany and The Netherlands. These countries were operationally grouped in 5 main regions, i.e. Southern Europe (France, Spain, Italy), Northern Europe (Sweden, Denmark, The Netherlands), Central and Eastern Europe (Germany, Austria, Poland, Czech Republic), UK and US. In 2025, Northern Europe and UK will be regrouped as 1 region.
3 URW Germany JV ("URW Germany") owns Minto (Mönchengladbach), Höfe am Brühl (Leipzig), Palais Vest (Recklinghausen), a 50% stake in Paunsdorf Center (Leipzig), a 20% stake in Gropius Passagen (Berlin), the fee business activity for third-party assets in Germany, as well as a cash amount including the net proceeds from the recent sale of Pasing Arcaden (Munich).
As Southern Europe (France) has substantial activities in all 3 business lines of the Group, this region is itself divided into 3 segments: Shopping Centres, Offices & Others and Convention & Exhibition ("C&E") 4 . The other regions operate almost exclusively in the Shopping Centres segment. In the US, the Group also operates an airport terminals commercial management business.
4 C&E includes the Les Boutiques du Palais retail asset.
Sales and footfall data in the US relate to Flagship assets, which form the core of URW's activities in the region. US Regional assets, represent less than 1% of the Group's GMV.
In Europe, 2024 footfall was up +2.6% compared to 2023, including +2.8% in Continental Europe and +1.1% in the UK.
In the US, 2024 footfall7 increased by +2.8% compared to 20238 .
2024 sales showed strong performance, outperforming footfall evolution. In 2024, tenant sales were up +3.8% in Europe, with Continental Europe at +4.1% and the UK at +2.4%.
In Europe, URW tenant sales growth was well above average core inflation of 3.2% in 2024 and national sales indices of +2.3%9 over the period, indicating that URW centres continued to gain market share.
2024 saw a strong increase in well-being sectors, with Fitness +23.8% and Health & Beauty +10.5%, while Fashion and F&B continued to perform strongly at +5.0% and +3.9%, respectively.
In the US, 2024 tenant sales10 increased by +6.6%, compared to an average core inflation of 3.4% and national sales index of +2.5%9 over the period.
This performance was mainly driven by Fitness (+23.3%), Sport (+17.6%), Culture, Media & Technology (+11.7%), Jewellery (+9.7%), Luxury (+9.3%), Fashion (+9.2%) and F&B (+5.8%).
5 Footfall for all centres in operation, including extensions of existing assets, but excluding deliveries of new brownfield projects and heavy refurbishment, newly acquired assets and assets under heavy refurbishment (CH Ursynów, Croydon, Westfield CNIT, Garbera and Centrum Černý Most) or works in the surrounding area (Fisketorvet) and Bonaire as the centre is closed temporarily since the flooding in October 2024, excluding Carrousel du Louvre and excluding Złote Tarasy as this centre is not managed by URW.
6 Tenant sales for all centres (except The Netherlands) in operation, including extensions of existing assets, but excluding deliveries of new brownfield projects and heavy refurbishment, newly acquired assets and assets under heavy refurbishment (CH Ursynów, Croydon, Westfield CNIT, Garbera, Centrum Černý Most) or works in the surrounding area (Fisketorvet) and Bonaire as the centre is closed temporarily since the flooding in October 2024, excluding Złote Tarasy as this centre is not managed by URW, excluding Carrousel du Louvre and excluding Auto category for Europe and Auto and Department Stores for the US.
7 US Flagships only. US Regionals at +4.6%.
8 Based on a new counting algorithm implemented by Placer.ai in September 2024, which affects the comparability with the communicated footfall of previous periods. Based on the updated algorithm, Q1-2024, H1-2024 and 9M-2024 footfall would be at +4.4%, +3.4% and +2.3% respectively.
9 Based on latest national indices available (year-on-year evolution) as at December 2024: France: INSEE (November); Spain: Instituto Nacional de Estadística; Central Europe (November): Polish Council of Shopping Centres (Poland), Český Statistický Úřad (Czech Republic); Austria: Eurostat (November); Germany: Destatis-Genesis; Nordics: Statistikdatabasen (Sweden); UK: Office for National Statistics; US: U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Bankruptcies have decreased in 2024 with 246 stores affected compared to 355 stores in 2023. Overall, tenant insolvency procedures represented 2.5% of the stores in URW's portfolio in 2024 (3.5% in 2023) with Northern Europe and Germany among the most impacted regions.
69% of bankrupted units saw their tenant still in place or were relet as at end of December, the remainder impacting vacancy.
As at January 31, 2025, 97% of the Group's invoiced 2024 rents and service charges has been collected.
Since January 2024, the Group also collected additional rents that related to 2023, improving its 2023 collection rate from 97%, as reported for the full-year 2023 results, to 98% at December 2024.

The Business review by segment presented below has been prepared based on the Group's European perimeter. Section 4 contains the US Business Review. Unless otherwise indicated, all references in Sections 1 to 3 are to URW's European operations and relate to the period ended December 31, 2024.
In 2024, URW signed 1,478 leases (vs. 1,509) on standing assets for €316.9 Mn of MGR (vs. €285.4 Mn). 2024 MGR signed on leases above 3 years amounted to €270.0 Mn, i.e. 85% of MGR signed (vs. €233.7 Mn and 82%). The increase in proportion of long-term leases reflects the effectiveness of URW's proactive leasing strategy, the strong appeal for URW assets and the return to a normalised situation.
The MGR uplift on renewals and relettings was +3.5% on top of indexed passing rents (+2.8% in 2023) in Continental Europe, driven by a strong reversion in Central Europe and Spain, partially offset by a decrease in Austria, Germany and The Netherlands. It was +6.1% including the indexation effect15 . The MGR uplift on renewals and relettings was +9.0% in the UK and +4.5% for Europe as a whole on top of indexed passing rents.
Deals longer than 36 months had an MGR uplift of +5.7% on top of indexed passing rents (+4.5% in 2023) for Continental Europe and +8.3% including the indexation effect15 . MGR uplift on deals longer than 36 months was +8.9% for the UK and +6.3% for Europe as a whole on top of indexed passing rents.
The average rent per sqm on deals signed in Europe increased by +4.0% from €532/sqm/year in 2023 to €553/sqm/year in 2024, showing the focus on higher value leases.

(a) Excluding Croydon, to be redeveloped and restructured.
Leading retailers show appetite for URW's shopping centres, recognising the crucial role of their physical stores at URW's destination assets to their business model. The trend remains towards prime stores offering comprehensive services, such as click & collect and self-check-out, as they enhance customers' shopping experience while boosting retailers' financial performance through "drive-to-store" and omnichannel strategies.
14 Leasing activity includes only deals with maturity >= 12 months, consistent with prior periods. Usual 3 / 6 / 9 leases in France are included in the long-term leases. Excluding Croydon, to be redeveloped and restructured. 2023 leasing activity restated for disposals. 15 i.e. before the previous leases' rents indexation.
The rotation rate was 10.7%, in line with URW's objective to rotate at least 10% of tenants or concepts annually.
The Group also saw several key store openings in 2024 across growing sectors, including:
Retail Media & other income includes Westfield Rise, the Group's retail media and brand partnerships in-house agency ("Retail Media"), as well as kiosks, seasonal markets, pop-ups and car park activations ("other income").
Total Retail Media & other income activity in Europe reached €110.2 Mn in net margin at 100%, including €75.1 Mn from Retail Media and €35.1 Mn from other income. It contributed €84.7 Mn to the Group's NRI on a proportionate basis, up +33.1% compared to 2023.
Since its inception in 2022, Westfield Rise has generated growing revenues from media advertising and brand experience campaigns, supported by data analytics.
In 2024, Westfield Rise gross income16 in Europe was up by +34.6% compared to 2023, outperforming the OOH17 media market. The net margin reached €75.1 Mn in 2024, up +40.8% and +65.1% compared to 2023 and 2022 respectively, achieving the target level announced during the Group's 2022 Investor Day.
During 2024, Westfield Rise enhanced its large-format screens with the implementation of 2 new immersive screens: one in Westfield Mokotów and the new "Digital Dream", the largest interactive indoor screen in Europe, in Westfield Les 4 Temps.
Westfield Rise also signed new long-term media partnerships with Ocean Outdoor in Germany and Goldbach in Austria on significantly improved terms compared to the previous agreement. These partnerships will benefit from the deployment of new large-format screens in both countries from end of 2024 onwards.
The 2024 Olympic Games in Paris and the UEFA Euro 2024 football competition in Germany benefitted Westfield Rise activity in 2024, specifically within the Sport and Culture, Media & Technology segments. Notable campaigns included Samsung's exterior media domination campaign at Westfield Les 4 Temps, Nike and Adidas's media and experiential campaigns at Westfield Forum des Halles, Adidas activations at Westfield Centro and Höfe am Brühl, as well as the JD Sports activation at Westfield Parquesur.
In 2024, key brands along with URW malls' retailers have placed an even stronger confidence in the Westfield Rise agency, in particular in the Health & Beauty category (e.g., L'Oréal, Sephora, Rituals, L'Occitane) and in the Entertainment and Automotive categories (e.g., PlayStation, Amazon Prime Video, General Motors, Cadillac, Volvo, BYD).

Following the audit and certification by the CESP18 in October 2024, Westfield Rise launched its new AI-powered solution to measure audience and drive-to-store impact of in-mall advertising campaigns. Brands can now gauge the performance and effectiveness of their in-mall ad campaigns with the same precision as digital advertising. This audience qualification tool and first proprietary algorithms are now operational in 20 Westfield centres across 9 European countries, providing valuable and insightful data to communication agencies and advertisers.
The average revenue per visit19, a key performance indicator, stood at €0.10 per visit in 2024, +38.2% compared to 2023, driven by an increase in revenue above the footfall increase and the positive impact of the Olympics.
Other income performance, which mainly includes pop-up stores, was up +5.2% in 2024 compared to 2023, with a net margin reaching €35.1 Mn.
Westfield is the Flagship brand of Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield, which owns, develops, and operates sustainable malls with its purpose to create sustainable places that "Reinvent Being Together".
The Group launched several branding and marketing actions in 2024:
Overall, these events enabled the Group to continue building brand awareness while sustaining footfall in its malls.
In addition, the Group has continued to enhance the global digital experience by revamping its website and app ecosystems, reaching 25 million website visitors and over 1 million new app users in 2024. As at December 31, 2024, the Group's customer database expanded to 16.8 million contacts, including 12.9 million loyalty members or account holders. On social media, the Group's shopping centre accounts across Facebook, Instagram and TikTok, in both Europe and the US, reached a total of 10 million followers as at December 31, 2024.
18 The Centre d'Etude des Supports de Publicité (CESP) is a Paris-based third-party organisation in the media and communications industries, CESP's mandate is to certify the quality of audience measurement studies and other tools used by the industry in order to ensure that advertising space is monetised on the basis of relevant, robust and verified criteria.
19 Revenue generated by Westfield Rise divided by the footfall of the same period.
Total consolidated Net Rental Income ("NRI") was €1,428.2 Mn for Continental Europe (+4.9%) and €1,566.0 Mn for Europe (+4.7%), mainly as a result of positive like-for-like evolution.
In 2024, the NRI was positively impacted by indexation, leasing activity, higher variable income and FX impact, partly offset by disposals.

Like-for-like NRI increased by +6.3% (+9.7% in 2023) in Europe (including +6.0% in Continental Europe), and includes:
The improvement in vacancy rate or positive MGR uplifts do not simultaneously translate into incremental like-for-like Net Rental Income due to, in particular, the time lag between the signing date and the effective date of the lease and the potential delay between the lease end of a departing tenant and the effective date of the lease with a new tenant.
Sales Based Rents in Europe amounted to €69.3 Mn in 2024 (4.4% of NRI), including €57.6 Mn in Continental Europe (4.0% of NRI) and €11.7 Mn in the UK (8.5% of NRI). This corresponds to a growth of +6.8% compared to 2023 and +11.8% on a like-for-like basis on the back of strong sales performances of URW retailers.
The Estimated Rental Value ("ERV") of vacant space in operation in the portfolio was €69.7 Mn in Europe (€71.2 Mn as at December 31, 2023) and €52.8 Mn in Continental Europe (€51.7 Mn as at December 31, 2023). Overall, the EPRA vacancy rate21 was 3.6%, compared to 3.8% as at December 31, 2023.
The EPRA vacancy rate in Continental Europe was 3.2%, stable compared to December 31, 2023 and below the June 30, 2024 level of +3.5%.
Vacancy in the UK22 decreased from 6.9% to 5.8% as a result of strong leasing activity. Vacancy rate in Westfield London stood at 8.7%, steadily absorbing the impact of the 2018 extension (c. 80,000 sqm) while Westfield Stratford City vacancy continued to trend downwards below 3%.

The 2024 OCR23 was at 15.4% for Continental Europe, slightly above 15.3% in 2023 and below its 2019 level of 15.5% as a result of retailers' strong sales performance. In the UK24, the OCR was down at 16.7% vs. 17.4% in 2023 and 19.9% in 2019, thanks to tenants' sales performance and a decrease in business rates and service charges.
The OCR does not fully reflect the increasing role and value of stores for retailers through increased volume of activity, higher EBIT margin generated in store from halo effect, collection (click & collect) or return of products in store promoted by retailers as well as brand and marketing.

With 1,750,352 sqm of office space rented in 2024, take-up in the overall Paris region decreased by -9% compared to 2023 (1,931,950 sqm) and by -21% compared to 10-year average levels.
Paris represented 47% of the 2024 take-up in volume, and the La Défense and Western Crescent sectors together represented 28%. The share of La Défense in the Paris region take-up has increased from 7% in 2023 to 12% in 2024. This reflects that occupiers select key business districts that are well connected to transportation networks as strategic locations.
The number of large transactions (˃5,000 sqm) decreased to 49 deals in 2024 (vs. 56 recorded in 2023).
The immediate supply in the Paris region increased by +19% year-on-year to reach 5.6 Mn sqm. As at December 31, 2024, the level of new or refurbished supply reached 1.8 Mn sqm and accounted for 32% of the total immediate supply (29% at end of 2023).
The Paris region vacancy rate continued to increase, reaching 10.2% at the end of 2024 compared to 8.5% at the end of 2023, with significant discrepancies between areas:
In this two-tier market, the evolution of rents varied significantly, depending on centrality, access to public transportation, amenities and ESG performance of the assets. Rents kept increasing inside Paris but were under pressure in more challenging areas where the increase of immediate and future supply and a lower demand put pressure on rental values for non-prime assets and second-hand buildings.
In 2024, the highest rent in Paris CBD was €1,200/sqm/year and €655/sqm/year in La Défense (for the Sanofi transaction in CB3).
Rent incentives in Paris CBD decreased to 16% (vs. 17% in 2023) but increased to 37% in La Défense (vs. 35% in 2023) and were overall at 22% in the Paris region.
The total volume of office transactions in the Paris region for 2024 reached €3.4 Bn, down by -27% compared to 2023 (€4.7 Bn) and -75% vs. 10-year average.
9 large transactions above €100 Mn were signed in 2024, representing c. 36% of total volume.
Paris remained the main market and represented around 79% of the 2024 transactions (57% in 2023).
No transaction above €250 Mn occurred. The largest single-asset transactions were:
In December 2024, URW agreed to sell an 80% stake in Trinity office tower at Paris La Défense to Norges Bank Investment Management, for an implied offer price of c. €447 Mn at 100%. The transaction is subject to standard conditions and is expected to be completed during Q1-2025. It demonstrates the appeal of modern and efficient building in well-connected locations.

In 2024, the C&E activity benefitted from the seasonality effect with a number of biennial shows and the Intermat triennial show taking place this year, as well as the Paris 2024 Olympics and Paralympics (the "Olympics") as multiple events and broadcasted facilities were hosted in several Viparis venues.
In addition to activity related to the Olympics, 269 exhibitions and congresses were held in Viparis' venues in 2024, compared to 267 in 2023 and 264 in 2022.
2024 activity was characterised by the following major events and shows:
▪ Intermat (127,000 visitors, 1,000 exhibitors).
In addition, this year, Paris Porte de Versailles welcomed IGEM – Grand Jamboree, the world expo of synthetic biology with more than 4,500 attendees and Palais des Congrès de Paris hosted:
Viparis' recurring Net Operating Income ("NOI") amounted to €218.6 Mn, +66.0% compared to 2023 (€131.7 Mn) and +14.9% compared to 2022 (€190.2 Mn), which was positively impacted by €25 Mn of COVID indemnities from the French State. 2024 NOI included a €53.7 Mn contribution from the Olympics. Excluding the impact of indemnities, triennial shows, the Olympics, and recent deliveries, 2024 Viparis NOI was up +29.5% compared to 2023 and +2.4% compared to 2022.
As at December 31, 2024, signed and pre-booked events in Viparis' venues for 2025 amounted to c. 91% of its expected 2025 rental income.
As the US portfolio continues to strengthen, vacancy reduces and more leasing tension exists in its assets, there is a lower quantity of deals to be done, meaning the focus is on improving the quality of the deals and merchandising.
In this context, 645 leases were signed in 2024 on standing assets (down -10%), representing 2,369,233 sq. ft. and \$160.2 Mn of MGR. 405 long-term deals were signed, representing 69% of total MGR. The average rent per sq. ft. of long-term deals signed in 2024 increased by +5.7%, illustrating the Group's focus on quality deals.
The overall uplift on relettings and renewals was +11.7% for the US Shopping Centres (+17.7% in 2023) and +14.9% for Flagships. Deals longer than 36 months had an MGR uplift of +29.9%. The strong uplift signed on long-term deals allowed the Group to increase the revenues secured through MGR while reducing the portion of SBR attached to the short-term leases previously in place. Taking into account the SBR on top of the MGR of leases in place, the uplift on deals longer than 36 months would still be 22%.
In total, the Shopping Centres SBR decreased from \$54.9 Mn in 2023 (10.3% of NRI) to \$37.5 Mn in 2024 (7.5% of NRI) despite a +6.6% increase in Flagships tenant sales. This -31.7% evolution results from asset disposals, crystallisation of SBR into MGR, and 2022 SBR settlement positively impacting 2023.
The tenant mix continued to evolve in line with market trends with the opening of exciting retailers such as Planet Playskool at Westfield Garden State Plaza, Arc'teryx and the brand new expanded 40,000 sq. ft. Zara at Westfield Old Orchard, Amour Vert at Westfield UTC, Aritzia at Westfield Galleria at Roseville, Mango at Westfield Montgomery, Alo at Westfield Century City, Uniqlo at Westfield UTC and Westfield Oakridge, Gorjana at Westfield Topanga as well as Läderach at Westfield Fashion Square and Westfield Century City.
The Luxury sector has also seen strong progress with a number of important openings such as Cartier, IWC and Bottega Veneta at Westfield Topanga, Saint Laurent and David Yurman at Westfield Galleria at Roseville.
Retail Media & other income revenue in 2024 amounted to \$57.8 Mn, a -7.4% decrease compared to 2023, as a result of disposals and like-for-like evolution driven by replacement works of major screens.
In 2024, Media & Experiential activity was driven by luxury partners such as Chanel, Tiffany, Dior and Cartier as well as other partners including Intimissimi, Lululemon and Savage X Fenty.
URW also launched creative campaigns and activations with Expedia, American Express, ELF Cosmetics, AFEELA, Lexus, Hawaiian Airlines, NBC's Love Island, Dior, Cartier, Chanel, Yves Saint Laurent, BMW, Tesla, Pure Padel and Moana 2.
Airport activity showed continuous improvement in 2024 with enplanements +2% higher than 2023 and in line with 2019 level. International traffic has shown a strong growth at +5% compared to last year and Domestic traffic was flat. Compared to 2019, International traffic is still down -6% while Domestic traffic is up +5%.
Retail sales in URW-operated airport terminals for 2024 increased by +8% compared to 2023.
The construction of JFK Terminal 8 is on track to reach substantial completion by Q2-2025, with the project fully pre-let.
The competitive bidding process for the Duty-Free, Food Hall, and Travel Essentials spaces in JFK's New Terminal 1 has been completed. Leasing terms have been agreed with tenants on 84% of spaces which are scheduled to open in June 2026.
27 Flagships exclude CBD centre.
28 2023 leasing activity restated for disposals.
Total NRI amounted to \$550.6 Mn, a -\$32.1 Mn change (-5.5%) compared to 2023, split between29:
US Shopping Centre NRI has been impacted by 2023 and 2024 disposals and foreclosure for -\$41.0 Mn (Westfield North County, Westfield Brandon, Westfield Mission Valley, Westfield Valencia Town Center, San Francisco Centre and Westfield Annapolis).
US like-for-like Shopping Centre NRI30 increased by +\$15.9 Mn i.e. +4.0% mainly driven by net leasing revenue31 of +8.8%, partly offset by lower SBR (-3.1%), and lower Retail Media & other income as well as CAM expenses.
Westfield World Trade Center saw a significant NRI decrease due to higher vacancy and doubtful debtors as well as rent reduction.
Airports NRI benefitted from the continued growth of airline traffic in 2024 and retailers' sales which are now exceeding 2019 levels, leading to a NRI increase of +9.1% year-on-year.
Converted into euros, the -\$32.1 Mn (-5.5%) NRI decrease in the US represented -€30.2 Mn (-5.6%) with an average euro/USD FX overall stable between 2024 and 2023.
As at December 31, 2024, the EPRA vacancy was 7.2% (\$73.6 Mn), down by -130 bps from December 31, 2023. The vacancy decreased by -110 bps to 6.2% in the Flagships and by -260 bps to 7.5% in the Regionals, while the vacancy of Westfield World Trade Center increased by +220 bps to 23.6%.
Occupancy on a GLA32 basis was 94.1% as at December 31, 2024.
The OCR33 on a rolling 12-month basis was at 11.7% as at December 31, 2024, compared to 11.9% as at December 31, 2023, reflecting a combination of rental uplifts and strong sales performance. OCR for Flagships stood at 12.6% as at December 31, 2024 (12.9% as at December 31, 2023).

The results of the Group presented below are based on the Consolidated income statement in a proportionate format, in which the joint-controlled entities are accounted for on a proportionate basis instead of being accounted for using the equity method under IFRS. The Group has structured its internal operational and financial reporting according to this proportionate format.
Unless otherwise indicated, all references below relate to the period ended December 31, 2024, and the comparisons relate to the same period in 2023.
The Gross Rental Income ("GRI") amounted to €2,939.8 Mn (€2,872.9 Mn), an increase of +2.3%. This increase resulted mainly from a positive leasing contribution, the impact of indexation, higher variable income in Europe and a positive FX impact, as well as the positive impact of the Olympics, partly offset by the 2023 and 2024 disposals, lower utilities income in the UK and lower SBR in the US.

Total NRI amounted to €2,314.4 Mn (€2,210.1 Mn), an increase of +4.7%. This higher increase compared to the GRI is mainly due to savings in service charges and lower doubtful debtors. The decrease in utilities income in the UK was compensated by lower utility charges limiting its impact on the UK NRI.

Figures may not add up due to rounding.
Net property development and project management income was +€18.8 Mn (+€30.9 Mn), as a result of the phasing of projects of URW's Design, Development & Construction (DD&C) activity in the UK.
Net property services and other activities income from Property Management services in France, the US, the UK, Spain and Germany was +€116.9 Mn (+€77.1 Mn), including +€81.2 Mn of on-site property services in Viparis (+€37.2 Mn) and +€35.8 Mn of Property Management services related to shopping centres (+€39.9 Mn). The increase of +€39.8 Mn is mainly due to the impact from the Olympics on the on-site property services in Viparis, partly offset by a decrease in Property Management services in Spain, the UK and the US, as a result of disposals.
Contribution of companies accounted for using the equity method39 amounted to +€50.2 Mn (-€5.4 Mn), of which -€35.6 Mn related to the non-recurring activities, mainly due to the impact of the mark-to-market of derivatives on the financing of JVs and a tax provision partly offset by positive valuation movements. The recurring Contribution of companies accounted for using the equity method was +€85.8 Mn (+€85.4 Mn).
39 Contribution of companies accounted for using the equity method represents URW's share of the Net recurring result for the period of entities accounted for using the equity method which are not joint-controlled (and therefore not retreated on a proportionate basis) and interest received on loans granted to these entities. This corresponds to 5 shopping centres, Triangle and Hôtel Salomon de Rothschild in France, Złote Tarasy in Central Europe and Gropius Passagen in Germany.
General expenses40 amounted to -€179.2 Mn, a significant decrease compared to 2023 (-€199.4 Mn) due to cost savings including staff and travel reduction, partly offset by a negative FX impact. As a percentage of NRI from shopping centres and offices, general expenses stood at 8.2% (9.4% in 2023).
This reflects the Group's ongoing cost discipline approach. It will continue to optimise expenses.
Development expenses stood at -€4.9 Mn in 2024 (-€4.7 Mn).
EBITDA (corresponding to the recurring Net Operating result before depreciation and impairment of assets in the Net result by segment) increased from €2,199.3 Mn in 2023 to €2,351.9 Mn in 2024 (i.e. +6.9%) due to higher NRI in Europe, partly offset by disposals.
Excluding the impact of FX, disposals, pipeline, DD&C and the Olympics on a like-for-like basis, EBITDA increased by +7.0% in 2024 vs. 2023 and by +4.7% vs. 2019.
Acquisition and other costs amounted to a non-recurring amount of -€12.7 Mn (-€8.9 Mn).
Depreciation and impairment of tangible and intangible assets amounted to -€35.0 Mn (-€70.1 Mn), including -€41.0 Mn (-€51.5 Mn) for the recurring activities and +€6.0 Mn (-€18.6 Mn) for the non-recurring activities related to reversals of impairment on property services in the US and on intangible assets relating to Viparis partially offset by an allowance of provision on property services in the UK.
Results on disposal of investment properties were -€14.3 Mn (-€21.2 Mn), reflecting mainly the impact of 2024 disposals and adjustments of disposals from previous years. This does not include the capital gains on disposals accounted for in shareholders' equity of +€12.1 Mn, related mainly to Centrum Černý Most.
For more information, please refer to the section "Investments and divestments".
Valuation movements on assets41 amounted to -€1,376.4 Mn (-€2,674.5 Mn).
Main decreases came from Germany (-€1,136.5 Mn) mainly related to the Westfield Hamburg-Überseequartier project and US shopping centres (-€389.0 Mn).
For more information, please refer to the section "Property portfolio and Net Asset Value".
Impairment of goodwill amounted to -€45.0 Mn (-€242.1 Mn), mainly related to the goodwill justified by the fee business in Germany.
Net financing costs (recurring) totalled -€515.2 Mn (after deduction of capitalised financial expenses of €80.8 Mn (€77.0 Mn) allocated to projects under construction) (-€484.5 Mn). This increase of -€30.7 Mn is due to slightly higher cost of debt.
URW's average cost of debt for the period was 2.0% (1.8% in 2023). URW's financing policy is described in the section "Financial resources".
Non-recurring financial result amounted to +€79.7 Mn (-€381.9 Mn), mainly due to the mark-to-market of derivatives and revaluation of debt issued in foreign currencies.
Income tax expenses are due to the Group's activities in countries where specific tax regimes for property companies42 do not exist or are not used by the Group.
Total income tax expenses for 2024 amounted to -€121.7 Mn (-€7.0 Mn). Income tax allocated to the recurring net result amounted to -€97.2 Mn (-€80.6 Mn), mainly due to the 2024 operating performance. Non-recurring income tax amounted to -€24.5 Mn (+€73.6 Mn), mainly due to the impact of valuation movements partially offset by the reversal of tax provisions.
40 Administrative expenses, excluding development expenses and depreciation and amortisation presented separately. Corporate expenses in P&L correspond to General expenses and Development expenses.
41 Excluding +€6.0 Mn of reversal on property services accounted in the Depreciation and impairment of tangible and intangible assets.
42 For example, in France: SIIC (Société d'Investissements Immobiliers Cotée); and in the US: REITs.
External non-controlling interests amounted to -€132.0 Mn (+€149.6 Mn) comprising recurring and non-recurring external non-controlling interests. The recurring external non-controlling interests amounted to -€228.5 Mn (-€176.8 Mn), mainly due to the C&E activity performance. The non-recurring non-controlling interests amounted to +€96.5 Mn (+€326.3 Mn), due primarily to negative valuation movements.
Net result for the period attributable to the holders of the Stapled Shares was a profit of +€146.2 Mn (-€1,629.1 Mn). This figure breaks down as follows:
The Adjusted Recurring Earnings44 taking into account the coupon of hybrids for -€98.9 Mn (-€72.4 Mn) reflect a profit of €1,373.5 Mn (€1,336.6 Mn). The hybrid coupon increased as from H2-2023 following the Exchange Offer on the Perp-NC23 hybrid completed in July 2023 and the reset of the remaining Perp-NC23 coupon in October 2023, with a full-year impact in 2024.
The average number of shares outstanding was 139,497,322 (138,965,717). The increase is mainly due to the issuance of performance shares in 2023 and 2024 and the issuance of 3.254 Mn shares in December 2024 in the context of the acquisition of CPP Investments' stake in URW Germany, with an impact on the average number of shares of 248,940 in 2024. The number of shares outstanding as at December 31, 2024, was 142,629,547.
The main drivers for recurring earnings evolution were the strong operational performance in retail, offices and C&E, which benefitted from the seasonality effect and the positive impact of the Olympics, partly offset by 2023 and 2024 disposals.
Unless otherwise indicated, all references below relate to the period ended December 31, 2024, and the comparisons relate to the same period in 2023.
The total cash flow from operating activities slightly increased to +€2,190.2 Mn (+€2,056.5 Mn) mainly due to an improvement of the operational performance of the Group.
The total cash flow from investment activities was -€537.1 Mn due to investments partly offset by disposals. Compared to 2023 (-€791.4 Mn), it reflects an increase in Disposal of shares and investment properties (+€920.2 Mn in 2024 vs. +€522.4 Mn in 2023) partially offset by an increase of Capital expenditures (-€1,308.3 Mn in 2024 vs. -€1,181.0 Mn in 2023).
The net cash outflow from financing activities amounted to -€1,882.3 Mn (+€865.4 Mn) reflecting a decrease in new borrowings and financial liabilities (+€1,568.7 Mn in 2024 vs. +€2,409.3 Mn in 2023) given the cash position of the Group of €5.3 Bn, and an increase in repayment of borrowings and financial liabilities (-€2,531.4 Mn in 2024 vs. -€769.2 Mn in 2023). This also includes the reinstatement of a distribution in H1-2024 (-€347.9 Mn).
43 Includes valuation movements, disposals, mark-to-market and termination costs of financial instruments, including bond tender premiums, impairment of goodwill or reversal of negative goodwill and other non-recurring items.
44 Under IFRS, the Hybrid Securities are accounted for as shareholders' equity. The AREPS are calculated based on the Recurring net result for the period attributable to the holders of the Stapled Shares minus the coupon on the Hybrid Securities (from June 1, 2018).
On January 6, 2025, URW announced the sale of a 15% stake in the iconic Westfield Forum des Halles, a 77,600 sqm Flagship shopping centre located in the heart of Paris, to CDC Investissement Immobilier, on behalf of Caisse des Dépôts (CDC), a leading long-term French institutional investor. The net disposal price is €235 Mn45, in line with the last unaffected value.
The Group will propose to the AGM46 a 40% increase in cash distribution to €3.50/share to be paid on May 12, 2025.
Going forward, the Group will continue to increase the distribution according to operating performance, deleveraging progress and valuations evolution.
Further details on its distribution policy will be shared as part of the Group's Investor Day on May 14, 2025.
As at December 31, 2024, the total statutory retained losses of URW SE (parent company) is negative at -€1,887 Mn, including a profit of +€943 Mn in 2024.
Given the negative statutory retained results of URW SE, the Group has no obligation to pay a dividend in 2025 for the fiscal year 2024 under the SIIC regime and other REIT regimes it benefits from. The dividend distribution obligation resulting from the French SIIC regime will be delayed until URW has sufficient statutory results to meet this obligation.
As a consequence, the distribution will be made out of premium, which amounted to €13.5 Bn in URW's statutory accounts as at December 31, 2024. This premium distribution will not reduce the carry forward SIIC dividend payment obligation standing at €2,522 Mn as at December 31, 2024, and will qualify as an equity repayment47 for French tax purposes (article 112-1 of the French tax code).
Over the last 4 years, the Group has significantly strengthened its business operations, fully capturing indexation over the period while achieving the highest occupancy rate since 2017 and a +4.7% increase in like-for-like EBITDA compared to 2019.
The Group also progressed on its deleveraging plan with €6.4 Bn48 of assets divested in line with book value, contributing to a €4.7 Bn net debt reduction to €19.5 Bn49 at the end of 2024, a 400 bps LTV reduction to 40.8%50 and Net Debt to EBITDA improvement to 8.7x, the lowest level since the Westfield acquisition.
The Group has also reshaped its US business by enhancing the portfolio quality (97% A-rated51), improving its operating performance, and streamlining the US management platform. The Group has sold or foreclosed on 17 assets for a total of \$3.3 Bn52 and reduced the vacancy level of its 10 Flagship assets by -630 bps.
Having achieved this transformation, URW has made the strategic decision to retain its high performing Flagship assets in the US.
45 With up to 10% price payment subject to a 5% annual return mechanism for CDC, which may be activated until 2029.
46 To be held on April 29, 2025.

52 At 100%.
The Group is committed to further deleveraging through retained earnings, disciplined capital allocation and non-core disposals.
The Group will present its future growth plans at an Investor Day on May 14, 2025.
The Group expects underlying growth of at least 5% to drive full-year 2025 AREPS in the range of €9.30 to €9.50.

The real estate investment market continued to face challenges amid volatile conditions in 2024. Persistent inflation, uncertainty around interest rate cuts in particular in the US, geopolitical concerns and political uncertainties are key factors influencing the markets across all segments (core, core-plus and value-add). These events have added layers of complexity and uncertainty, slowing transaction executions. As central banks started to cut rates, the market saw a slight improvement in H2.
Despite this challenging environment, URW successfully completed or secured €1.6 Bn of transactions60, including €1.0 Bn (€0.9 Bn in IFRS) completed at year-end 2024.
This includes:
As part of these transactions, URW will continue to manage Aupark, Centrum Černý Most, Westfield Forum des Halles and the Trinity office tower. As part of the Pasing transaction, URW will also continue to manage the centre for a transition period of up to 24 months post-closing.

63 Subject to standard conditions precedent and is expected to be completed during Q1-2025.
As at December 31, 2024, URW's share of the Total Investment Cost ("TIC"64 and "URW TIC"65) of its development project pipeline amounted to €3.5 Bn66 , corresponding to a total of 0.6 million sqm of Gross Lettable Area ("GLA"67) to be redeveloped or added to the Group's standing assets.
The development pipeline TIC has increased from €2.5 Bn to €3.5 Bn as at December 31, 2024 as a result of (i) TIC increase of the Hamburg project due to further cost increases and delayed opening (retail opening on April 8, 2025) (+€0.8 Bn), 6 additional projects added to the Controlled Pipeline (+€0.4 Bn) and 1 additional project added to the Committed Pipeline (+€0.1 Bn), partially offset by 4 deliveries in 2024 (-€0.3 Bn).

Since December 31, 2023, the Group has delivered 4 projects representing a URW TIC of €0.3 Bn, comprised of:
The average letting68 of these deliveries stands at 88% as at December 31, 2024. The Group is in active discussions for the leasing of the remaining 20% space in Lightwell.
64 100% TIC is expressed in value at completion. It equals the sum of: (i) all capital expenditures from the start of the project to the completion date and includes: land costs, construction costs, study costs, design costs, technical fees, tenant fitting-out costs paid for by the Group, letting fees and related costs, eviction costs and vacancy costs for renovations or redevelopments of standing assets; and (ii) opening marketing expenses. It excludes: (i) step rents and rent-free periods; (ii) capitalised financial interests; (iii) overhead costs; (iv) early or lost Net Rental Income; and (v) IFRS adjustments.
65 URW TIC: 100% TIC multiplied by URW's percentage stake in the project, adjusted by specific own costs and income, if any.
66 This includes the Group's share of projects fully consolidated and projects accounted for using the equity method, excluding remaining capex on delivered projects, Viparis capex commitments and commitments on the roads for the Westfield Milano project.
67 GLA equals Gross Lettable Area of projects at 100%.
68 GLA signed.
As reported in the press release dated January 23, 2025, URW announced the retail opening of Westfield Hamburg-Überseequartier on April 8, 2025. The project's Mechanical, Electrical and Plumbing (MEP) systems are now in the final testing and inspection phase. The opening date has been selected in collaboration with tenants and is aligned with the Spring retail calendar.
The TIC of the Westfield Hamburg project amounts to €2,446 Mn 70, an increase of c. €190 Mn compared to the TIC update in September 2024, due to additional expenses related mainly to construction costs, scope gaps and quantities, while a dedicated construction claim management team is working to optimise all reconciliations and settlement of claims.
The TIC increased since December 31, 2023, as a result of:
Ongoing negotiations on the indemnification of tenants for opening delays are within the budget set in September.
The Westfield Hamburg retail project is now 94%71 pre-let, an improvement compared to 86%71 last year, with strong interest in remaining units, and 64% of the office buildings72 is pre-let, notably to Shell, ZIM, Mazars, Wayes and Redevco. Ongoing discussions with office prospects are progressing on the remaining spaces.
URW's development pipeline has seen a +€0.5 Bn increase since the end of 2023, including 6 projects added to the Controlled Pipeline and 1 project to the Committed Pipeline, with a total targeted Yield on Cost above 7%:
In addition to the above, the new retail, dining and leisure project of Centrum Černý Most extension has shifted in H1-2024 from the Controlled to the Committed Pipeline following the launch of the works in April 2024.

The Group has an increasing focus on mixed-use projects (notably including residential, offices & hotels) such as GSP Mixed-Use and Coppermaker Square next to Westfield Stratford City. These projects mainly relate to densifications on and around the Group's existing asset footprints.
As part of its strategy to create mixed-use destinations, the Group secured planning permission to transform the former House of Fraser department store building in Westfield London into "The Village Offices", a new three level 115,000 sq. ft. highquality and sustainable office space that could accommodate up to 2,000 workers. Active discussions are underway with prospective office tenants attracted by the quality, amenities and connectivity of the space.

(a) On a proportionate basis, including transfer taxes and transaction costs (see §1.6 for IFRS and Group share figures).
The portfolio valuation includes:
The appraised or at cost value of the entire property portfolio, whether fully consolidated or under joint control (for URW's share);
The fair value of the Westfield trademark. The Westfield trademark is a corporate intangible asset that is split by region only for analytical purposes;
The equity value of URW's investments in assets not controlled by URW (Złote Tarasy, Gropius Passagen, Foncière Crossroads, Triangle, Hôtel Salomon de Rothschild, Toca Football and Food Society). The equity value of URW's share investments in assets not controlled by URW amounted to €1,239 Mn (€1,239 Mn).
The valuations consider the negative cash flows related to rents paid on concessions or leaseholds, which are accounted for as financial debt in the consolidated statement of financial position.
The portfolio neither includes €0.7 Bn of goodwill not justified by the fee business, nor financial assets such as the cash and cash equivalents on the Group's consolidated statement of financial position as at December 31, 2024.
(b) Excluding the currency effect, investment properties under construction, assets not controlled by URW, assets at bid value and changes in scope (including acquisitions, disposals and deliveries of new projects) through December 31, 2024. Changes in scope consist mainly of the:
Disposal of Pasing Arcaden in Germany;
Disposal of Westfield Annapolis in the US;
Disposal of Aupark in Slovakia;
Disposal of the Group's units in La Valentine in France;
Acquisition of the remaining 50% stake on Westfield Montgomery in the US;
Acquisition of the remaining 50% stake on CH Ursynów in Poland;
Acquisition of 100% of the Jacques Ibert Offices in France;
The like-for-like change in the portfolio valuation is calculated excluding the changes described here above.

In March 2021, as part of the rotation recommended by RICS, URW signed new appraisal mandates with 2 international and qualified appraisal firms, Cushman & Wakefield and Jones Lang LaSalle, to value its Shopping Centre and Offices & Others portfolio. In Continental Europe, URW rotated the assets appraised by these 2 firms: in H1-2021, the appraisers were rotated for Central Europe, Spain, Nordics, France Offices & Others and The Netherlands and in H2-2021, URW rotated appraisers for France Shopping Centres, Germany and Austria. In H1-2024, URW rotated the appraisers in the US (Cushman & Wakefield and Kroll) on half of the US assets, URW rotated the appraisers on the remaining half of the US assets in H2- 2024, in line with RICS' recommendations. The services companies (except German Fee Business) and the Westfield trademark values are assessed by Ernst & Young ("EY") since H2-2024. The German Fee Business is appraised by Grant Thornton since H2-2024.
URW has allocated properties across independent appraisers by region for comparison and benchmarking purposes. The valuation process has a centralised approach, intended to ensure that capital market views on the Group's portfolio are taken into account. Assets are appraised twice a year (in June and December), except for services companies and the Westfield trademark which were externally appraised once in H2-2024.

Fees paid to appraisers are determined prior to the valuation process and are independent from the value of properties appraised. A detailed report, dated and signed, is produced for each appraised property. None of the appraisers have received fees from URW representing more than 10% of their turnover.
Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG) factors are impacting investment approaches in real estate markets. Driving forces include legislation change, availability of finance, and increasing societal awareness of ESG factors such as climate risk.
A significant amount of information has been made available to the appraisers in relation to several ESG KPIs on an assetby-asset basis82 in connection with a new AFREXIM ESG scorecard built by main valuation firms, international shopping centres' landlords and French institutions representing a diverse scope of retail market participants. Amongst others, these KPIs are the Energy Use Intensity on common areas, BREEAM certificate label part I and II, climate risk studies outcomes, renewable energy on-site production or presence of EV chargers. Appraisers have reviewed and considered the information provided in their valuation process. Capex to be spent in the next 5 years for the Energy Action Plan defined by the Group and its Better Places Net zero trajectory were integrated in the valuation model.
The information relating to the Group's ESG roadmap provided during the Investors Day in October 2023 was updated so that appraisers could integrate it in their H2-2024 valuations.
82 For European shopping centres.
Appraisal methods used by appraisers are compliant with international standards and guidelines as defined by RICS, IVSC ("International Valuation Standards Council") and FEI ("Fédération des Entreprises Immobilières").
Investment Properties Under Construction ("IPUC") for which a value could be reliably determined are required to be accounted for at fair value and were assessed by external appraisers.
IPUC are taken at fair value once management considers that a substantial part of the project's uncertainty has been eliminated, such that a reliable fair value can be established.
Westfield Hamburg was assessed at fair value for the first time as at June 30, 2023. Centrum Černý Most Extension was carried at fair value for the first time as at June 30, 2024.
Since and as a result of the acquisition accounting for the Westfield transaction, the main projects in the US, the UK and Italy were carried at fair value as at December 31, 2024.
Refer to the table in the Section "Development projects as at December 31, 2024" for the valuation method used for each development project in the Group's pipeline.
The remaining assets of the portfolio (3%) were valued as follows:
The total value of the IPUC amounted to €2.0 Bn, of which €1.6 Bn valued at fair value and €0.5 Bn valued at cost (36% of the value at cost was tested with an external valuation as at December 31, 2024).
Unless otherwise indicated, valuation changes and references to asset values include transfer taxes and transaction costs.

The value of URW's non like-for-like Offices & Others portfolio decreased by -€438 Mn including 84% from Westfield Hamburg.
The valuation methodology adopted by PwC for the venues is mainly based on a discounted cash flow model applied to the total net income projected over the life of the concession or leasehold (net of the amounts paid for the concession or leasehold) if it exists, or otherwise over a 10-year period, with an estimate of the asset value at the end of the given time period, based either on the residual contractual value for concessions or on capitalised cash flows over the last year, including the remaining capital expenditures to be spent on Porte de Versailles (€159 Mn).
The value of URW's Convention & Exhibition venues, including transfer taxes and transaction costs, amounted to €2,611 Mn (€2,572 Mn).

(a) Excluding the Convention & Exhibition space in Carrousel du Louvre and CNIT, 100%-owned by URW, the valuation for Viparis (including Palais des Sports, Les Boutiques du Palais and the hotels at Porte de Versailles) was €2,481 Mn as at December 31, 2023, and €2,510 Mn as at December 31, 2024.
On a like-for-like basis, net of investments, the value of Convention & Exhibition venues decreased by -€30 Mn (-1.2%) following the cancelation of a few shows.
The Services portfolio is composed of URW's French, German, UK and US property services companies.
URW's Services portfolio is appraised annually as at each year-end to include all significant fee business activities in the portfolio at their market value for the calculation of URW's NAV.
In URW's Consolidated statement of financial position, intangible assets are not revalued but recognised at cost less amortisation charges and/or impairment losses booked.
The value of the Services portfolio decreased by -€112 Mn (-10.5%) on a like-for-like basis, mainly impacted by revenues assumptions for German Fee Business and UK DD&C, as well as rates evolution (UK DD&C). It was partly offset by increases of French services companies and US Property Management.

URW complies with the IFRS 13 fair value measurement and the position paper84 on IFRS 13 established by EPRA.
Considering the limited public data available, the complexity of real estate asset valuations, as well as the fact that appraisers use the non-public rent rolls of the Group's assets in their valuations, URW believes it is appropriate to classify its assets under Level 3. In addition, unobservable inputs, including appraisers' assumptions on growth rates, DR and ECR, are used by appraisers to determine the fair value of URW's assets.
In addition to the disclosures provided above, the following tables provide quantitative data in order to assess the fair valuation of the Group's assets.
All shopping centres are valued using the discounted cash flow and / or yield methodologies using compound annual growth rates as determined by the appraisers.

The EPRA measures86 are calculated by adjusting the equity attributable to the holders of the Stapled Shares, as shown in the Consolidated statement of financial position (under IFRS), for the items as described below. These apply differently to each metric.
As at December 31, 2024, the Equity attributable to the holders of the Stapled Shares (which excludes both the Hybrid securities and the External non-controlling interests) came to €15,850 Mn.
The Equity attributable to the holders of the Stapled Shares incorporated the net recurring profit in the period of €1,472 Mn and the net negative impact in the period of -€1,326 Mn as a result of negative valuation movements.
Dilution from securities giving access to share capital as at December 31, 2024, was computed for those instruments which were "in the money" and having fulfilled the performance conditions.
In accordance with IFRS, financial instruments were recorded on URW's statement of financial position at their fair value with the impact of the change in fair value included in the income statement and thus in the equity attributable to the holders of the Stapled Shares.
The exercise of "in the money" stock options and performance shares with the performance conditions fulfilled as at December 31, 2024, as well as the retention shares would have led to a rise in the number of shares by +3,509,803. The dilution of the exercise of "in the money" stock options generate an increase of +€134 Mn on the equity attributable to the holders of the Stapled Shares.
As at December 31, 2024, the fully diluted number of shares taken into account for the EPRA measures calculations was 146,139,350.
No adjustment was made for the purpose of the EPRA NRV, EPRA NTA and EPRA NDV calculation.
In the Group's IFRS consolidated accounts, deferred tax on property assets was calculated in accordance with accounting standards as at December 31, 2024.
As a result, and consistent with the EPRA methodology, for the purpose of the EPRA NRV calculation, deferred taxes (€1,958 Mn) were added back for the calculation of EPRA NRV, and for the calculation of the EPRA NTA. For the EPRA NTA calculation, -€979 Mn of effective deferred taxes were then deducted. The EPRA NDV was not adjusted.
The fair value adjustment of financial instruments recorded in the IFRS consolidated statement of financial position was added back by URW for the EPRA NRV and EPRA NTA calculation for a total amount of €374 Mn (excluding exchange rate hedging) and remained at the IFRS value for the EPRA NDV.
Fair value movements of foreign currency hedging instruments (fair value hedges or net investment hedges) recorded in the balance sheet and associated with foreign exchange retranslation remains in all 3 NAV metrics (NRV, NTA and NDV) to offset the movement in the underlying investment being hedged.
86 Refer to the EPRA website for more detail: EPRA BPR Guidelines 241019.
Goodwill booked on the balance sheet as a result of deferred taxes of -€175 Mn as at December 31, 2024, was excluded from the EPRA NRV, EPRA NTA and EPRA NDV.
Goodwill booked on the balance sheet (which is mainly related to the Westfield acquisition) of -€631 Mn was deducted from the EPRA NTA and EPRA NDV (net of the Goodwill resulting from deferred taxes already deducted).
Intangible assets of -€792 Mn have been deducted from the EPRA NTA.
The value of the fixed rate debt on the balance sheet of the Group is equal to the nominal value of the UR debt and the fair value of the Westfield debt at the accounting combination date (May 31, 2018). Taking fixed rate debt at its fair value would have a positive impact of +€1,910 Mn as at December 31, 2024. This impact was taken into account in the EPRA NDV calculation.
When the fair value of an intangible asset can reliably be determined and is not already included within goodwill or otherwise recorded on the balance sheet, it is added to the EPRA NRV. The basis of valuation is disclosed. URW uses an external valuer at least annually to determine the valuation of such intangible assets and discloses the name of the firms undertaking the valuations. Care is taken that no double counting takes place with the Goodwill on the balance sheet.
The appraisal of property services companies in France, the US, the UK and Germany, the airport activities (excluding LAX and Chicago), the Westfield trademark and of the operations ("fonds de commerce") of Viparis Porte de Versailles, Paris Nord Villepinte, Palais des Congrès de Paris and Palais des Congrès d'Issy-les-Moulineaux, meet the criteria of this adjustment and have been so valued. This gave rise to an unrealised capital gain of +€1,024 Mn, which was added only for the purpose of the EPRA NRV calculation.
As at December 31, 2024, the transfer taxes and costs deducted from asset values in the statement of financial position (in accordance with IFRS) amounted to €1,855 Mn. This amount is taken into account in the EPRA NDV. For the purpose of the EPRA NRV calculation, this amount was added back.
For the purpose of the EPRA NTA calculation, the Group used the optimised net property value. Transfer taxes and transaction costs are estimated after taking into account the likely disposal scenario: sale of the asset or of the company that owns it. As at December 31, 2024, these estimated transfer taxes and other transaction costs compared to transfer taxes and costs already deducted from asset values on the statement of financial position (in accordance with IFRS) came to a positive net adjustment of +€485 Mn.
URW's EPRA NRV stood at €21,020 Mn or €143.80 per share (fully diluted) as at December 31, 2024. The EPRA NRV per share decreased by -€2.90 (or -2.0%) compared to December 31, 2023.
The decrease of -€2.90 compared to December 31, 2023 was the sum of: (i) -€1.78 per share of changes due to NAV adjustments, including mainly the impacts of fair value of financial instruments adjustment, of change in the number of fully diluted Stapled shares (includes the impact of the issuance of URW shares against the acquisition from CPP Investments of a 38.9% stake in URW Germany), and of intangible assets offset by impact of potential issuance of Stock Options and number of shares, of deferred taxes on Balance sheet and of real estate transfer tax; and (ii) -€1.12 per share of changes in Equity attributable to the holders of the Stapled Shares including mainly the Revaluation of Investment Properties and the distribution (-€2.50), offset by the Recurring Net Result.
URW's EPRA NTA stood at €16,225 Mn or €111.00 per share (fully diluted) as at December 31, 2024. The EPRA NTA per share decreased by -€1.30 (or -1.2%) compared to December 31, 2023.
The decrease of -€1.30 compared to December 31, 2023 was the sum of: (i) -€1.12 per share of changes in Equity attributable to the holders of the Stapled Shares including mainly the Revaluation of Investment Properties and the distribution (-€2.50) offset by the Recurring Net Result; and (ii) -€0.18 per share of changes due to NAV adjustments, including the impact of fair value of financial instruments adjustment offset by the impacts of potential issuance of Stock Options and number of shares, of deferred taxes on Balance sheet, of impairment or changes in goodwill as per the IFRS balance sheet and of real estate transfer tax.
URW's EPRA NDV stood at €17,088 Mn or €116.90 per share (fully diluted) as at December 31, 2024. The EPRA NDV per share decreased by -€5.00 (or -4.1%) compared to December 31, 2023.
The decrease of -€5.00 compared to December 31, 2023 was the sum of: (i) -€3.88 per share of changes due to NAV adjustments corresponding to the impact of fair value adjustment of fixed interest rate debt and of change in the number of fully diluted Stapled Shares (including the impact of the issuance of URW shares against the acquisition from CPP Investments of a 38.9% stake in URW Germany) offset by the impact of potential issuance of Stock Options and number of shares; and (ii) -€1.12 per share of changes in Equity attributable to the holders of the Stapled Shares including mainly the Revaluation of Investment Properties and the distribution (-€2.50), offset by the Recurring Net Result.

In 2024, decreasing inflation led central banks to begin cutting rates. In parallel, market volatility increased, in the second half of the year, driven by political uncertainty and ambivalence of the upcoming economic policy in the US.
This context spurred a rally in rates and credit markets, leading to surging bond issuance volumes. URW seized favourable market conditions in early September to issue a €1.3 Bn dual-tranche green bond (5-year and 10-year maturities), with a blended coupon of 3.688% and an order book of more than €5.2 Bn at peak.
Overall, in 2024, URW raised €4.7 Bn of fully consolidated medium- to long-term funds in the bond, mortgage and bank markets (including credit facilities renewals).
As at December 31, 2024, the Group's liquidity position stood at €13.9 Bn (€14.0 Bn on a proportionate basis) including €5.3 Bn of cash on hand (€5.4 Bn on a proportionate basis) and €8.6 Bn of credit facilities. It improved compared to 2023 liquidity position that stood at €13.6 Bn including €5.5 Bn of cash on hand and €8.1 Bn of credit facilities.
As at December 31, 2024:
The average cost of debt for the period was 2.0% (1.8%), representing the blended average cost of 1.4% for Euro denominated debt and 4.6% for USD and GBP denominated debt.
In addition, as part of the acquisition92 from CPP Investments of an additional 38.9% stake in URW Germany, the Group issued 3.254 Mn URW stapled shares reinforcing its shareholders' equity and improving its EPRA LTV.
87 As the Group's financial covenants are calculated in accordance with IFRS, unless otherwise indicated, the financial information in this section is presented in accordance with IFRS. The Group also provides such information on a proportionate basis (see comparative table in section 4). For definitions, refer to the Glossary.
Unless otherwise indicated, comparisons to ratios, debt outstanding, average cost of debt, the amount of undrawn credit lines and cash on hand relate to December 31, 2023.
88 Net financial debt (or "net debt") as shown on the Group's balance sheet, after the impact of derivative instruments on debt raised in foreign currencies / total assets, including transfer taxes (43.4% excluding transfer taxes).

90 Proforma for the receipt of the proceeds from the secured partial disposals of Westfield Forum des Halles and Trinity tower.
91 On last 12-month basis.
92 For more details, see the section "Investments and divestments".
The Group's net debt94 is broadly stable year-on-year at €20,047 Mn (€19,967 Mn) on an IFRS basis and €21,302 Mn (€21,378 Mn) on a proportionate basis95 , primarily as a result of:
partly offset by:
Proforma for the receipt of the proceeds from the secured partial disposal of Westfield Forum des Halles and Trinity tower, the Group's net debt would decrease by an additional €0.6 Bn. These disposals are described in the section "Investments and divestments".
The medium- to long-term corporate debt97 issued by the various URW entities is cross-guaranteed. No loans are subject to prepayment clauses linked to the Group's credit ratings98 .


93 Hybrid securities are accounted for as equity. The hybrid securities are deeply subordinated perpetual instruments with a coupon deferral option and are required to be classified as equity under IFRS. Details on the outstanding hybrid securities are available at: https://www.urw.com/en/investors/financing-activity/bond-issues
94 After impact of derivative instruments on debt raised in foreign currencies. Excluding financial leases accounted as debt under IFRS 16 and partners' current account.
95 The sum of: (i) IFRS debt, and (ii) the Group's share of debt at joint ventures in joint control accounted for using the equity method under IFRS, most of which is secured by assets held in joint ventures.
96 Based on the following exchange rates as at December 31, 2024: EUR/USD 1.0389 and EUR/GBP 0.82918 vs. exchange rates as at December 31, 2023: EUR/USD 1.105 and EUR/GBP 0.86905.

99 Figures may not add up due to rounding.
On September 4, 2024, the Group secured additional liquidity through the successful issuance of a dual-tranche green bond of €1.3 Bn, with an average maturity of 7.5 years and an average coupon of 3.688%, comprising:
These conditions improved compared to the €750 Mn 7Y green bond issued end of 2023 with a 4.125% coupon.
The bond received strong demand from investors, achieving an oversubscription of 4 times and an order book of more than €5.2 Bn at its peak, reflecting investors' appetite for URW's credit.
The bonds' proceeds are used to (re)finance Eligible Green Assets in accordance with the Group's 2022 Green Financing Framework100 . This framework aligns with the Group's sustainability strategy and its Better Places roadmap101 , aiming to create positive environmental and social impacts.
In 2024, the Group signed €2.7 Bn sustainability-linked credit facilities with an average maturity of 4.9 years. Concurrently, the Group repaid €500 Mn short-term loans put in place since the COVID period with a remaining maturity of 2.6 years.
Furthermore, the Group extended, by one year the maturity of €946 Mn existing European credit facilities under sustainability-linked format.
No short-term paper issued in 2024 in view of the Group's high liquidity position.
During the first half, the Group refinanced €150 Mn maturing mortgage debt on Pasing Arcaden (Germany) at a spread of Mid swap +110 bps and a 5-year maturity. This non-recourse mortgage debt has been repaid in H2-2024 following the disposal of the asset in November 2024.
On July 22, the Group signed a 2-year extension of \$350 Mn existing CMBS on Westfield Montgomery (US) at a fixed rate of 3.766%. This non-recourse mortgage debt is fully consolidated in URW's accounts following the acquisition of the remaining 50% stake from the JV partner in early July.
In addition, in the context of the disposal of a 25% stake in Centrum Černý Most (Czech Republic), the JV holding the asset signed in December an up to €268 Mn 5-year non-recourse green mortgage loan, that will be partly used to finance the ongoing shopping centre extension. This was the largest syndicated commercial real estate loan in the Czech market since 2023. The drawn debt is fully consolidated in URW's accounts.
The average maturity of the Group's debt, considering the undrawn credit lines102 and cash on hand stood at 7.3 years and at 5.7 years without taking into account the undrawn credit lines and cash on hand.

102 Subject to covenants.
The following chart illustrates the split by maturity date of URW's net debt as at December 31, 2024.

Overall, URW's debt repayment needs for the next 12 months are fully covered by the cash on hand as shown in the table below:
| Debt repayment needs over next 12 months | IFRS | Proportionate |
|---|---|---|
| Bonds | €3,016 Mn | €3,016 Mn |
| Bank loans, Mortgage & overdraft | €22 Mn | €189 Mn |
| Total | €3,038 Mn | €3,206 Mn |
| Cash on hand | €5,289 Mn | €5,440 Mn |
Figures may not add up due to rounding.
In addition, as at December 31, 2024:
The Group's liquidity (including cash on hand and undrawn credit facilities) covers its debt maturities for more than the next 36 months.
The average cost of debt as at December 31, 2024, was 2.0% (1.8%), representing the blended average cost of 1.4% for EUR denominated debt and 4.6% for USD and GBP denominated debt.
The Group's cost of debt slightly increased over 2024 due to a higher marginal cost of funding from debt raised in 2023 and 2024, partly compensated by the remuneration on the Group's increased cash position in 2024 and hedges in place.
103 Subject to covenants.
URW has a solicited rating from both Standard & Poor's (S&P) and Moody's. In 2024:
The agencies' latest rating confirmations included the impact of the overruns associated with the Westfield Hamburg project.
On January 14, 2025, S&P published a bulletin indicating that the Group's disposals progress will support its credit metrics.
Market risks can generate losses resulting from fluctuations in interest rates, exchange rates, raw material prices and share prices. URW's risk mainly relates to (i) interest rate fluctuations on the debt it has taken out to finance its investments and maintain the cash position it requires and (ii) exchange rate fluctuations due to the Group's activities in countries outside the Eurozone, in particular in the US and the UK.
Over 2024, the Group continued to adjust its hedging position in view of market conditions, its current disposal and investment plans, its existing hedging programme and debt104 as well as the debt the Group expects to raise in the coming years.
The Group's net interest rate position105 is fully hedged for 2025, 2026 and 2027.


(*) Including a total of €1,845 Mn hybrid instruments.
Over 2024, short-term interest rates across currencies moved by: -120 bps for 3M Euribor, -102 bps for 3M SOFR and -58 bps for 3M Sonia.
104 On a proportionate basis.
105 The hedging instruments are used to hedge (i) the variable rate debt and (ii) the fixed rate debt immediately converted into variable rate debt, through the Group's macro hedging.
Based on the Group's budgeted debt in 2025, if interest rates 106 (Euribor, SOFR, Sonia) were to increase/decrease, the Group's recurring result in 2025 would be impacted by:
| Euros | USD | GBP | Total eq. EUR | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| -50 bps interest rate | €0.0 Mn | +\$4.7Mn | £0.0 Mn | +€4.5 Mn |
| -25 bps interest rate | €0.0 Mn | +\$2.3 Mn | £0.0 Mn | +€2.3 Mn |
| +25 bps interest rate | +€11.1 Mn | -\$2.3 Mn | £0.0 Mn | +€8.9 Mn |
| +50 bps interest rate | +€23.2 Mn | -\$4.7 Mn | £0.0 Mn | +€18.7 Mn |
As shown in the table above, the impact of a rate increase on the recurring financial expenses would be positive as the hedging instruments in place in 2025 are expected to be above budgeted debt.
The Group is active in countries outside the Eurozone. When converted into euros, the income and value of the Group's investments may be impacted by fluctuations in exchange rates against the euro. The Group's policy objective is to apply a broadly consistent LTV107 by currency, allowing it to match part of the foreign currency asset value and income with debt and financial expenses in the same currency, thus reducing the exchange rate effects on the Group's balance sheet and earnings. Foreign exchange risk can be hedged by either matching investments in a specific currency with debt in the same currency or using derivatives to achieve the same risk management goal.

The Group's FX main exposures are in USD, GBP and SEK. A change of 10% of EUR/USD, EUR/GBP or EUR/SEK (i.e. a +10% increase of EUR against the USD, GBP or SEK in 2025) would have an impact on shareholders' equity and on the recurring net result as follows:

The impact on exchange rates due to this theoretical increase/decrease in interest rates is not taken into account.

Net Initial Yield on occupied space: annualised contracted rent (including latest indexation) and other incomes for the next 12 months, net of operating expenses, divided by the value of occupied space net of estimated transfer taxes and transaction costs. Assets under development are not included in this calculation.
Non-recurring activities: non-recurring activities include valuation movements, disposals, mark-to-market and termination costs of financial instruments, bond tender premiums, impairment of goodwill or recognition of negative goodwill, amortisation of fair value of assets and liabilities recorded for the purpose of purchase price allocation, as well as costs directly incurred during a business combination and other non-recurring items.
