Paris, February 22, 2019 8:00 am 2018 Annual Results Regulated Information
Jérôme Anselme, Chief Executive Officer of Cegereal, commented: "The performance of Cegereal s
teams in 2018 enabled us to deliver results in line with the ambitious objectives set in 2017. The acquisition of Passy Kennedy illustrates our selective acquisition strategy focused on Paris an area with strong potential for rental income growth and brings our portfolio value to €1,409 million, up 20.5%
year on year. Our rental activity remained robust in 2018, as illustrated by the leases signed with the European Banking Authority and KPMG for 10,000 sq.m of space in the Europlaza building. These new leases come less than a year after the units were vacated and help to drive a sharp increase in the occupancy rate to 96.1%. We are confident about the year ahead and intend to continue on our path of controlled growth that creates value for our shareholders, leveraging our strategy of investing in our
In 2018, Cegereal continued to expand its portfolio with the acquisition of the Passy Kennedy office property. The 23,800 sq.m iconic Parisian building is set in a highly sought-after location along the banks of the Seine in Paris wider central business district, and offers stable cash flow and potential for growth in rental income over the long term.
The transaction was financed through an €80 million capital increase with pre-emptive subscription rights for existing shareholders and a €148.5 million bank loan. Following these operations, the Group s loan-to-value ratio stood at 54.7% at December 31, 2018, compared with 53.4% one year earlier.
Cegereal continued to invest significantly in its different properties during the year. Thanks to the gradual repositioning of Europlaza, begun in 2016, and our policy of guiding potential tenants in their choice of property from the start of the process, we leased over 10,000 sq.m in under ten months at a rate of between €480 and €500 per sq.m:
These new leases drive a sharp rise in Cegereal s overall occupancy rate to 96.1% (up from 91.4% at December 31, 2017).
Rental income came in at €53.0 million in 2018 (€52.3 million on a comparable portfolio basis, i.e., excluding the €0.7 million contribution from Passy Kennedy), up 3.4% compared with the prior-year period. The increase was mainly led by our excellent rental activity. The Passy Kennedy acquisition and the recently signed leases will have a significant impact on 2019 rental income.
At December 31, 2018, the estimated value of Cegereal s real estate portfolio was up 1.5% on a comparable portfolio basis from €1,169 million excluding transfer duties at December 31, 2017. Including Passy Kennedy, the portfolio value stood at €1,409 million excluding transfer duties, up 20.5% year on year.
EPRA earnings came in at €30.7 million for 2018, compared with €32.7 million for 2017. After adjusting for the 3% corporate income tax contribution on dividends, which was reimbursed in 2017 in an amount of €1.7 million, EPRA earnings were stable year on year, retreating 0.3% from €30.9 million to €30.7 million. The contribution of Passy Kennedy, acquired at the end of the year, was modest in 2018, but will have a significant impact on 2019 EPRA earnings.
EPRA NNNAV stood at €639.6 million at December 31, 2018, up from €585.4 million one year earlier. The increase was mainly attributable to the capital increase (positive €79.1 million impact) and the contribution of consolidated net income (positive €33.1 million impact).
IFRS net income came in at €33.1 million, compared with €62.4 million in 2017. The year-on-year difference reflects the significant €37.2 million rise in fair value of investment property recorded in 2017, caused by last year s interest rate squeeze. In contrast, the fair value of investment property increased by €11.7 million in 2018.
Cegereal has been committed to an ambitious CSR policy for a number of years. In 2018, its initiatives were once again recognized with a number of awards:
property companies in Europe" category, ranking among the top 3 for the fourth consecutive
year.
Cegereal s Board of Directors validates the strategy implemented since Jérôme Anselme was first appointed and has decided to renew its confidence in him by confirming his position as Chief Executive Officer.
