Press Release First-Half Results Paris, July 24, 2012, 5:45 pm
CeGeREAL – Increase in net income (IFRS) to €9.5 million
- . Turnover up 8% to €22.4 million
- . Increase in operating income of 32% to €17.8 million
- . Triple net NAV per share (excluding transfer taxes – EPRA): €35.2
- . Property portfolio (appraisal value excluding transfer taxes): €859.8 million
Raphaël Tréguier, Chief Executive Officer of CeGeREAL, said: "CeGeREAL successfully pursued its strategy during the first half of the year, signing new leases on over 20,000 sq.m. in a lackluster market and obtaining HQE environmental certification for Arc de Seine's building management processes. The resulting improved occupancy rate will drive a steady increase in both rental income and profit."
The consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2012 presented below were subjected to an interim review by the auditors and were approved for publication by the Board of Directors on July 24, 2012.

• Turnover up 8%
CeGeREAL reported turnover (IFRS) of €22.4 million for the first half of 2012, an increase of 8% compared with the year-earlier period. Rental income amounted to €18.3 million, up 6% vs. the first half of 2011. The increase was mainly due to the positive effect of applying rent indexation clauses and to the first rental incomes from the new leases signed during the period.
The new leases also drove a 15% rise in expenses rebilled to tenants to €4.1 million, mainly due to the arrival of the new tenants.

• Ongoing improvement in the rental status
A total of 21,000 sq.m. was let during the period, despite a certain reluctance among major prospective tenants to make a move in the challenging economic environment. The new leases included:
- 18,200 sq.m. in the Arcs de Seine complex that were let to Canal+, Hewlett Packard and Huawei Technologies under leases commencing for the most part in 2012. These 18,200 sq.m include an additional 900 sq.m. let to Hewlett Packard in early June.
- 2,800 sq.m. in the Europlaza tower let to ASG (1,350 sq. m. lease renewal) and Yxime (1,450 sq.m.).
The new leases will raise the Group's overall occupancy rate to 81%.
The ASG lease on Europlaza (1,300 sq. m.) has been renewed in the form of a 6-year lease.
In June, Arcs de Seine obtained HQE environmental certification for its building management processes. Arcs de Seine thus maintains its status as one of the area's most attractive business campuses in terms of both office space and amenities, and the remaining units are being actively marketed.
• A portfolio valued at €859.8 million excluding transfer taxes
The valuations performed at June 30, 2012 put the portfolio's appraisal value at €859.8 million excluding transfer taxes, compared with €854.2 million at December 31, 2011.
This amount breaks down as follows by property:
- Europlaza: €386.3 million
- Arcs de Seine: €305 million
- Rives de Bercy: €168.5 million.
EPRA NNNAV excluding transfer taxes amounted to €35.2 per share at June 30, 2012 versus €34.2 at December 31, 2011. The increase reflects the positive impacts of higher consolidated income (€0.3 per share), fair value adjustments to properties in the portfolio (€0.4 per share) and fair value adjustments to bank debt (€0.2 per share).
• Strong increase in operating profit and net income
Operating profit after fair value adjustments rose 32% to €17.8 million, lifted by €4.6 million in fair value adjustments to properties (versus €0.8 million in first-half 2011).
EPRA profit (adjusted to exclude fair value adjustments to properties) amounted to €4.9 million in first-half 2012 compared with €4.4 million in the year-earlier period.
Net income Group share came in at €9.5 million, after deducting finance costs and other financial income and expenses of €8.3 million. The period-on-period increase of more than 82% also reflects the improved occupancy rate and tight control over corporate costs.
Funds from operations (FFO) increased to €5.2 million from €4.7 million in first-half 2011, lifted by the initial effects of the higher overall rental status.
Cash and cash equivalents rose over the period to €22.4 million at June 30, 2012 from €17 million at December 31, 2011.
• Controlled gearing, with LTV at 46.4%
Debt at June 30, 2012 amounted to €398.5 million. Net LTV (ratio of net debt to the appraisal value of the property portfolio excluding transfer taxes) stood at 46.4% at that date, down slightly compared with December 31, 2011. The interest rate on the Company's loan is 4.15%. During the period, CeGeREAL was in full compliance with all of its loan covenants. With the loan falling due in March 2013, steps were taken in the first half to negotiate replacement financing, in order to benefit from the greatest possible flexibility.
• Outlook
Leveraging its sound fundamentals and high quality property portfolio, CeGeREAL is focused on meeting two main objectives – to keep marketing the remaining units in the Arcs de Seine complex and to refinance its debt, with negotiations already at an advanced stage.
An excerpt of the half-year financial report is available at the end of this press release. The complete half-year report is available on the company website.
