Paris, November 6, 2020 – 8:00 a.m. Quarterly financial information
| In millions of euros | Q3 2020 | Q3 2019 | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| IFRS rental income | 47.7 | 46.8 | +2.0% |
| Occupancy rate at period-end | 93.4% | 95.0% | -1.6 pts |
Unaudited figures.
Cegereal's rental income for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 totaled €47.7 million, a year-on-year increase of 2.0%. The occupancy rate stood at 93.4% at the end of the third quarter, after taking into account the departure of Sagem in April. At September 30, 2019, the occupancy rate stood at 95.0%.
Over the past 12 months, leases have been signed, extended or renewed on almost 20,000 sq.m – or more than 10% of the total surface area of Cegereal's portfolio – demonstrating the quality and appeal of its properties. Interest has already been expressed in the space vacated by Sagem in April in the Arcs de Seine campus, located on the banks of the Seine in Boulogne-Billancourt. At end-September 2020, the weighted average lease term (WALT) of the portfolio stood at more than five years.
At September 30, 2020 Cegereal had collected all rents due, thanks to its pure-play positioning in the office real estate segment.
During this second lockdown, Cegereal remains particularly attentive to its users' needs. Its teams are in regular contact with tenants – and have been even more so over the past few months – in order to offer them the right solutions.
During the period, new restaurant facilities and a new lounge area were inaugurated at the Europlaza tower, located at the center of the La Défense business district. Facing onto a patio, these bright and airy connected living spaces provide users with a unique place to meet up and exchange ideas. Keen to deliver a premium restaurant service, Cegereal has set up a high-quality, original offering with directly-sourced fresh products, run by Serenest. Tower occupants also have access to a lounge bar, giving them a warm and friendly space to welcome their guests.
Cegereal has also continued to increase the proportion of green space at the property by creating a vegetable patch in the private gardens, where tenants can pick fruits and herbs – an example of urban agriculture that has yet to be found elsewhere in La Défense. These concrete initiatives reflect the Company's commitment to ESG challenges.
