Cegereal reported Turnover (IFRS) of €27.0 million for the first half of 2013, an increase of 21% compared with the year earlier period. Rental income was up 19% at €21.7 million. This increase was mainly due to growth in rental income from Arcs de Seine with the gradual arrival of new tenants.

A portfolio valued at €861 million at June 30, 2013

The valuations performed by DTZ Eurexi at June 30, 2013 put Cegereal's portfolio appraisal value at €861 million excluding transfer costs, compared with €865.4 million excluding transfer costs at December 31, 2012.

The June 30 amount breaks down as follows by property:

  • Arcs de Seine: €311 million
  • Europlaza: €380 million
  • Rives de Bercy: €170 million

The total refletcs latent gains on properties accounting values up to €176 million at June 30, 2013, representing an unrealized gain of over €13 per share.

EPRA NNNAV excluding transfer costs amounted to €35.1 per share at June 30, 2013 versus €35.7 per share at December 31, 2012. The change reflects dividend payments (negative impact of €0.65 per share), higher consolidated income (positive impact of €0.7 per share), fair value adjustments to properties in the portfolio (€0.3 per share negative impact) and to bank debt (€0.5 per share positive impact).

Operating income at €12.3 million and net income at €5 million

Cegereal reported first-half operating income of €12.3 million, compared with €17.8 million for the year-earlier period, reflecting negative fair value adjustments to properties in the portfolio. IFRS net income amounted to €5.0 million in first-half 2013 compared with €9.5 million in the yearearlier period. EPRA earnings (adjusted to exclude fair value adjustments to properties) amounted to €9.3 million in first-half 2013 versus €4.9 million in first-half 2012.

Sharply higher recurring cash flow

Recurring cash flows increased to €9.8 million for the first half of 2013, from €5.2 million for the yearearlier period, boosted by a significant improvement in the rental situation.

A healthy financial position

Cegereal is in a healthy financial position, with LTV stable at 46.5%. After being completely renegotiated in July 2012, the interest rate on its debt now stands at a highly competitive 3.40%.

BUSINESS REVIEW

Significant improvement in the rental situation in a challenging market environment

Overall, the rental situation saw significant improvement, with the occupancy rate up 3 points to 87%. During the period, Cegereal continued marketing vacant units and renegotiated several leases ahead of schedule. Leases on over half of the portfolio have a fixed escalation clause providing for rent increases of more than 2.5% a year.

Arcs de Seine:

In line with its roadmap, Cegereal pursued its assertive strategy to remarket the renovated Arcs de Seine building.

Leases were signed with first-class tenants on 7,800 sq.m., lifting the occupancy rate to 81%, compared with 63% at December 31, 2012:

  • Hewlett Packard leased an additional 1,400 sq.m. and now occupies 6,600 sq.m. in the complex. It extended its lease by three years for all of the space. As a result, Cegereal has secured a firm commitment until the end of July 2021.
  • Sagem Défense Sécurité (Safran) chose Arcs de Seine for its new headquarters, signing a six-year lease on 5,000 sq.m. starting in April 2013,
  • Sonepar, a leading distributor of technical equipment and associated services for electricity professionals, signed a six-year lease on 1,400 sq.m. of office space.

The remaining 8,400 sq.m. of office space is being actively marketed.

Europlaza:

In July 2013, Cap Gemini, a tenant in the Europlaza complex since 1999 whose leases were due to expire in 2014, signed a new six-year lease ahead of schedule on 7,400 sq.m. of office space out of a total surface area of 14,700 sq.m., with effect from June 2013.

Rives de Bercy:

A new nine-year green lease on 31,900 sq.m. was signed with Crédit Foncier in January 2013, which extends its tenancy by seven additional years, attesting to the bank's satisfaction since it moved in back in 2003.

Continuation of the Go Green operation

As part of the strategy to enhance and lock in the value of the portfolio, audits have been performed on all of the properties with a view to having their environmental performance certified, which Arcs de Seine has already achieved.

The pre-audit process was completed in accordance with the initial schedule and Cegereal is maintaining its target to have HQE Exploitation certification for all of its portfolio from 2014.

OUTLOOK

For 2013, Cegereal confirms its targets of:

  • Approximately 30% growth in recurring earnings per share.
  • A gradual return to normal dividend levels by 2014. The Board of Directors envisages paying a dividend of €1.50 per share in 2013.
