Press release Regulatory information Paris, August 1, 2024 – 7:30 a.m.

*\ Vitura: First-half 2024 results *

  • Rental income of €21.7 million
  • Portfolio value of €1.3 billion
  • Occupancy rate of 67% at buildings in use
  • EPRA NTA of €465 million or €27.3 per share

Particularly attractive repositioned assets

During the first half of the year, 11,000 sq.m were let, representing 7% of the total surface area of the portfolio of buildings in use1 . The transactions mainly concern lease renewals and extensions at Europlaza and Arcs de Seine, two assets offering amenities inspired by hotel standards. A lease was signed for 5,600 sq.m, or 20% of the surface area, of the Rives de Bercy campus, less than three months after it was completely renovated. The tenant's teams are scheduled to arrive in the third quarter of 2024.

1 The property portfolio is divided into buildings in use and assets undergoing repositioning. The delivery of Rives de Bercy at the end of 2023 brings the total number of buildings in use to four. As from January 1, 2024, only Office Kennedy and Passy Kennedy are vacant and undergoing redevelopment work.

Sale of a controlling interest in the Passy Kennedy and Office Kennedy holding companies

In early July, Vitura sold a controlling interest in the companies holding the Passy Kennedy and Office Kennedy properties to a European asset manager for a value of approximately €14 million.

Following the sale, Vitura reclassified the assets and liabilities of the holding companies as assets and liabilities held for sale as of June 30, 2024. In accounting terms, the transaction will result in a capital loss of around €139 million2 in the consolidated financial statements for the second half of 2024, or a negative impact of approximately €8.2 per share on EPRA NTA.

As part of this transaction, new bank financing of €270 million was arranged by the holding companies, used to repay the consolidated loans related to the properties at June 30, 2024 in an amount of €205 million, and notably the €139 million loan granted when Passy Kennedy was acquired, falling due on July 15, 2024.

The sale will help to finance the works program aimed at repositioning Passy Kennedy and Office Kennedy as a top-class property complex of 34,000 sq.m offering a broad range of upscale amenities including food services, conference facilities, a gym, and wellness and social areas. It was designed to feature facilities to promote low-carbon mobility, while the property will meet the highest environmental standards.

Vitura retains a non-controlling interest of around 7% and may be entitled to value created by the redeveloped properties.

First-half 2024 results

Rental income for the period totaled €21.7 million, compared with €25.6 million for first-half 2023. Excluding the impact of the Passy Kennedy and Office Kennedy buildings, which have been fully vacated, rental income rose from €19.2 million to €21.7 million, an increase of €2.4 million or 12.5%.

The occupancy rate of buildings in use came to 67% at June 30, 2024, stable compared with December 31, 2023.

EPRA earnings represented a loss of €7.8 million in first-half 2024, compared with earnings of €8.3 million for the prior-year period. EPRA earnings generated by the holding companies of Passy Kennedy and Office Kennedy (both vacant) represented a loss of €7.6 million at June 30, 2024, comprising mainly rental expenses and financial expenses. Excluding these two companies, EPRA earnings represent a loss of €0.3 million, compared with earnings of €2.7 million for the same period in 2023. This decrease is due to the cost of restructuring hedging instruments (negative €1.6 million impact) and interest for the period linked to the loan granted by the majority shareholder (negative €1.9 million impact) to cover the Group's cash flow requirements.

Market pressure on capitalization rates, partially mitigated by the asset management work carried out, weighed on portfolio value. The value of the Group's portfolio stood at €1,266 million (compared with €1,307 million at December 31, 2023). This decrease is mainly due to a rise in capitalization rates.

IFRS consolidated net debt came to €809 million at June 30, 2024, with an average loan-to-value ratio of 63.9%. An agreement was reached in April 2024 with Hanami's banking pool to suspend the effects of the loan-to-value ratio being breached until December 31, 2024, and to restructure the existing debt of €92 million.

In light of high interest rates, the Group is maintaining its policy to hedge against changes in the Euribor using interest rate hedging instruments. For the next 12 months, 100% of the Group's debt will be hedged at an average rate of 0.50%3 .

2 The accounting impacts on the consolidated financial statements for the second half of 2024 are presented in the 2024 interim financial report (section entitled "Subsequent events").

3 Excluding debt relating to the Passy Kennedy and Office Kennedy buildings (€205 million) which was refinanced on July 9, 2024.

The market value of the Group's assets has an impact on EPRA NTA, which stood at €465 million or €27.3 per share at end-June 2024, compared with €523 million or €30.7 per share at December 31, 2023.

The Statutory Auditors' review report is under way.
