CEGEREAL: A RESILIENT BUSINESS MODEL

Despite the health crisis which emerged during the first half of 2020, Cegereal posted a slight +0.9% increase in rental income compared with the same period of 2019. EPRA earnings excluding non-recurring income, i.e., excluding the various indemnities received, were up +2.7% versus first-half 2019. These results are a testament to sound business management during the epidemic.

The occupancy rate stood at 93.4% at the period-end, after Sagem vacated 5,700 sq.m of space at Arcs de Seine in Boulogne-Billancourt on April 1, 2020. At December 31, 2019, the occupancy rate stood at 96.9%. This recently vacated space is already being renovated, with delivery scheduled in the second half of 2020. The campus enjoys good transport links, views over the Seine, private landscaped gardens and a living roof, and is being actively marketed.

Assets adapted to support tenant decisions

In the first six months of the year, Cegereal's operations were marked by the implementation from March of measures to ensure the health and safety of its employees, partners and clients. As lockdown measures were eased, Cegereal's teams were fully mobilized to make the necessary adjustments at its properties, based on decisions taken by tenants' management, and to support tenants as their employees gradually returned to the workplace. Attentive to their needs, Cegereal remains available to assess the impacts of the difficult economic conditions on its tenants' businesses on a case-by-case basis.

Cegereal took every step to ensure that refurbishment work was delivered as initially scheduled so that the new tenants announced at the end of 2019 could take up their new space during the first half of 2020.

In terms of rental activity, despite a particularly lackluster climate, Brandt renewed its lease at the Hanami property in Rueil-Malmaison (next to the La Défense business district) until 2024.

Low exposure to economic disruptions

Cegereal is exclusively positioned in the office real estate market and its tenants which are mainly large corporates, have solid profiles. As a result, the impacts of the health crisis on its business are limited, with the rent collection rate for the third quarter currently standing at more than 95%. Rent payment deferrals granted by Cegereal in the first half represented less than 1% of its rental income.

Over the coming months, the impact of the economic crisis is expected to remain contained, as the Company benefits from a weighted average lease term of 5.2 years which has continuously increased over the last two years. Cegereal's long-term rental income stream therefore remains secure. In addition, the loan-to-value ratio decreased by -1.1 percentage point compared with first-half 2019.

Given these factors, Cegereal is well equipped to respond to worsening economic conditions should the need arise.

"Responsible property company" strategy validated

The last few weeks have seen considerable growth in awareness and increased attention from tenants in terms of environmental, social and governance issues. Thanks to its CSR strategy, which has been in place since its creation, and its status as Europe's most sustainable listed property company, obtained in the 2019 GRESB (Global Real Estate Sustainability Benchmark) ranking, Cegereal is confident in its position as a leading sustainable property company for both social and environmental issues.

Long-term financial agility

The Company paid a dividend of €0.75 per share in place of the initially planned €2.30 per share. Carried out in the interests of prudence, this one-off reduction gives the Company headroom and enables it to maintain its operational agility in an uncertain environment.
