Résultats annuels 2023

Objectifs dépassés et croissance continue du résultat récurrent

 

« Dans un environnement immobilier impacté par la hausse des taux, Covivio s’est rapidement adapté, notamment via 720 M€ de nouveaux accords de cessions. En parallèle, le travail d’asset management et la hausse des revenus de +6,4% à périmètre constant ont permis au résultat récurrent de s’inscrire en croissance. Nous maintiendrons en 2024 notre discipline financière, tout en poursuivant la croissance de notre résultat récurrent. » Christophe Kullmann, Directeur Général de Covivio

Covivio : un patrimoine diversifié et en amélioration continue  

 

Covivio détient un patrimoine de 23,1 Md€ (15,1 Md€ PdG) d’actifs en Europe, géré selon trois piliers stratégiques :

1.     La localisation au cœur des capitales européennes, ainsi que des principaux quartiers d’affaires et de loisirs, en particulier Paris, Berlin et Milan. Ainsi, 94% des actifs se situent dans des localisations centrales[1] et 99% à moins de 5 minutes à pied d’un transport en commun.

2.     Une approche hospitality innovante et évolutive, inspirée du savoir-faire en hôtellerie, pour accompagner la mutation des villes et l’évolution des attentes des utilisateurs. Cela se traduit notamment par une logique d’opérateur intensifiée, une politique servicielle et une relation client ambitieuses, adossées à une offre flexible forte.

3.     Le développement durable, Covivio étant un opérateur engagé dans la transition climatique, pour un impact positif et durable sur la ville. Cet objectif s’illustre par une trajectoire carbone ambitieuse (baisse des émissions de 40% de 2010 à 2030) et est salué par les principales agences de notation. 

 

Le patrimoine est composé à 52% (-3pts sur 1 an) de bureaux en France, Italie et Allemagne, dont 69% en centreville et 25% dans les principaux centres d’affaires ; 31% (+1pt) de logements principalement à Berlin et les grandes villes de la Rhénanie-du-Nord Westphalie ; et 17% (+2pts) d’hôtels situés dans les grandes villes touristiques européennes (Paris, Berlin, Rome, Madrid, Barcelone, Londres, etc.), loués ou gérés par les opérateurs leaders : Accor, IHG, Marriott, B&B, NH Hotels, etc.

Très bonnes performances opérationnelles 

Hôtels : nouvelles opérations majeures dans un marché hôtelier porteur 

Les performances en hôtellerie sont restées très dynamiques en 2023. En moyenne en Europe, les RevPAR ressortent ainsi en hausse de +16% par rapport à 2019 (et de +18% vs 2022), grâce à des prix moyens en hausse de +23%, tandis que le taux d’occupation s’améliore (+5,1 pts vs 2022 et -3,6 pts vs 2019). Les principales expositions géographiques de Covivio ont surperformé, avec des croissances de RevPAR de +32% en Italie, +22% en France, +20% au Royaume-Uni et +18% en Espagne. 

Dans ce contexte, Covivio a poursuivi sa stratégie d’asset et de brand management en vue d’optimiser sa rentabilité et de garantir une offre hôtelière toujours plus adaptée aux attentes des utilisateurs. 

En novembre 2023, le Groupe est entré en négociations exclusives avec AccorInvest, en vue de rassembler la propriété de murs et fonds de commerce. Covivio, via sa filiale Covivio Hotels[2], est propriétaire de 54 hôtels loués à AccorInvest en loyer variable sur chiffre d’affaires, dans le cadre de baux à long terme. AccorInvest est propriétaire des fonds de commerce de ces hôtels, et a signé des contrats de gestion long terme avec le Groupe Accor.

L’opération de remembrement prendrait la forme d’un échange de fonds de commerce, actuellement détenus par AccorInvest, contre des murs d’hôtels appartenant à Covivio. A l’issue de l’opération, 24 hôtels seraient désormais détenus en murs et fonds par Covivio et 10 par AccorInvest.  

La valeur convenue des murs cédés à AccorInvest représente environ 92 M€[3] (au rendement de 5%) et la valeur convenue des fonds de commerce rachetés par Covivio environ 114 M€[4] (au rendement de 12%). Cette opération, relutive pour Covivio dès la première année (9 M€ de revenus supplémentaires pour une sortie de cash de 22 M€ en part du Groupe), permettrait en outre de pouvoir optimiser à terme les performances de ces hôtels. Ainsi, des programmes de capex à forte rentabilité (>20%) sont attendus, offrant une perspective de croissance des résultats et de création de valeur.

 

La dynamique d’asset management s’est également poursuivie sur les autres parties du patrimoine :

-       Sur le portefeuille en loyers fixes, Covivio a signé avec Melia de nouveaux baux de 15 ans sur 3 hôtels en

Espagne, à Barcelone, Valence et Malaga, avec une hausse des loyers fixes d’environ 30% et un rendement sur investissement (15 M€ à 100%, 6 M€ part du Groupe) de l’ordre de 9%. Au second semestre, une extension du bail de 9 ans a également été conclue avec NH Hotel sur un hôtel à Madrid, accompagné d’une hausse du loyer de +15% ;

-       Sur le patrimoine détenu en murs et fonds, des programmes de capex pour un total de près de 70 M€ à 100% (30 M€ part du Groupe) ont été lancés, avec un objectif de rentabilité supérieure à 15%. Sur l’exercice, des travaux sont notamment en cours sur le Westin Grand Berlin, en vue de rénover les espaces communs (lobby, bar, restaurant, salles de réunion) et sur deux hôtels à Bruges, pour y rénover les chambres et espaces communs, créer des synergies de gestion et améliorer les performances énergétiques.

Bureaux : activité locative soutenue et renforcement de la centralité  

Dans un marché locatif polarisé, où la demande se concentre sur les immeubles les plus centraux et offrant les meilleures performances environnementales et servicielles (80% de la demande à Milan se concentre sur des immeubles grade A), Covivio tire les fruits de son positionnement haut de gamme. Près de 131 000 m² de nouvelles commercialisations et renouvellements ont été signés en 2023, dont 40 700 m² sur le seul 4ème trimestre. Le taux d’occupation, qui avait reculé à 92,2% fin mars 2023 suite à deux livraisons d’actifs et un départ de locataire, s’inscrit depuis en net rebond, de +230 pb, pour atteindre 94,5% en fin d’exercice (soit +10 pb vs 2022). 

Ces succès locatifs s’illustrent par l’accélération de la commercialisation des immeubles récemment livrés. C’est le cas de So Pop à Paris/Saint-Ouen, avec 11 600 m² commercialisés, permettant de faire passer le taux

image 

d’occupation de 36% fin 2022 à 71% actuellement. 11 700 m² ont aussi été signés dans Maslö à Levallois-Perret, désormais occupé à 87% (vs 28% fin 2022). Covivio a également loué 7 700 m² dans l’immeuble Urban Garden à Issy-les-Moulineaux, libéré au 1er trimestre 2023 et déjà reloué à hauteur de 70%. A Châtillon, 2 450 m² ont été loués sur l’immeuble IRO, portant le taux d’occupation à 64% (vs 57% fin 2022), tandis que 5 800 m² ont été commercialisés ou renouvelés sur la tour CB21 à La Défense, désormais louée à 100% (vs 93% fin 2022). En

Allemagne, l’immeuble Zeughaus à Hambourg a quant à lui vu son taux d’occupation augmenter de +14 pts sur un an, à 96%, suite à la relocation de 9 200 m². 

En parallèle, Covivio a continué de capter le potentiel de réversion élevé des loyers sur son patrimoine de centre-ville, de +12% en moyenne en 2023, comme à Lyon (+14% dans Silex2 sur 2 300 m²) ou Milan (+23%, pour 4 800 m² au total, sur les immeubles via Messina et via Amedei). 

La dynamique locative est porteuse en France et en Italie (84% du patrimoine bureaux). En Allemagne, de premiers succès locatifs ont été enregistrés en 2023 : les 16 488 m² de nouvelles commercialisations et 47 426 m² de renouvellements ont permis d’augmenter de 1,3 pt le taux d’occupation et de capter une réversion locative de +5%. Pour autant, le taux d’occupation, actuellement de 86,4%, reste impacté par la récession économique et par 18% d’actifs non core. Afin d’accélérer l’amélioration des performances, une nouvelle équipe d’asset management a été constituée, sous l’impulsion d’Alexei Dal Pastro, CEO Italie de Covivio, qui devient également responsable de l’activité bureaux en Allemagne. Fort du succès du repositionnement du patrimoine en Italie, Alexei Dal Pastro apportera sa connaissance fine du produit et son expérience managériale éprouvée.

Enfin, Covivio poursuit le travail de recentrage et d’extraction de la valeur de son patrimoine. Deux anciennes centrales téléphoniques libérés par Orange feront l’objet d’un redéveloppement pour 135 M€ de capex et un rendement marginal moyen de 6,5% : Grands Boulevards (7 500 m², livraison 2027) et Monceau (11 200 m², livraison 2025). Ces deux projets sont situés à Paris QCA, qui affiche une pénurie d’offre de qualité, avec un taux de vacance de 2,7% fin 2023 et des loyers prime en hausse de +7% sur un an, à 1 070€/m². 

Résidentiel allemand : hausse de la qualité du patrimoine et extraction de valeur dans un contexte de pénurie

Le déséquilibre entre offre et demande de logements s’est encore renforcé en 2023. La population a connu une nouvelle hausse, à plus de 84 millions d’habitants, tandis que les nouvelles constructions et les attributions de permis de construire, se sont encore contractées, bien loin de l’objectif gouvernemental de 400 000 nouveaux logements par an. Ainsi, à Berlin, la pénurie de logements est maximale et les loyers de marché progressent de nouveau significativement sur un an, de +6% pour les logements existants (à 12,9€/m²) et +9% pour les logements neufs (à 19,4€/m²). 

Dans ce contexte, Covivio a poursuivi son travail d’asset management sur l’exercice :

-       En captant la réversion locative : le travail de relocation sur près de 3 300 baux a permis d’afficher une réversion locative moyenne de +21% en 2023, dont +31% à Berlin. 

-       En poursuivant les programmes de capex de modernisation, venant améliorer la qualité du patrimoine et réduire sa consommation énergétique. 78 M€ (50 M€ part du groupe) ont été investis en 2023 avec une rentabilité entre 5 et 10%.

-       Via le travail de valorisation du patrimoine : Covivio a livré 227 nouveaux logements (coût de revient de 

66 M€ et 44 M€ part du Groupe) sur des terrains attenants à ses immeubles ou via des élévations de toitures. Situées à Berlin, ces opérations affichent un rendement locatif moyen de 5,0% et une marge sur les logements cédés de +23% en moyenne (prix de vente moyen de 5 100 €/m²). Le Groupe a également poursuivi son programme de ventes à l’unité, avec près de 128 logements cédés pour 53 M€ (35 M€ en part du Groupe) à 5 200€/m² en moyenne, soit une marge sur la valeur d’expertise de +46%. 

             

Un bilan de qualité et renforcé

En avance sur le plan de cessions : 720 M€ de nouveaux accords signés en 2023

Dans un marché de l’investissement ralenti, Covivio a signé pour 900 M€ à 100% et 720 M€ part du Groupe d’engagements de cessions, avec une marge moyenne de -7,5% sur les valeurs d’expertise de fin 2022 et un taux de rendement moyen de 4,2%. Le Groupe est ainsi en avance dans la réalisation de son plan de cessions (communiqué en décembre 2022) de 1,5 Md€ d’ici fin 2024, avec près de 920 M€, soit 61% du plan d’ores et déjà sécurisés.

La majeure partie des cessions (77% et 551 M€ part du groupe) concernent des actifs de bureaux, dans une logique de rééquilibrage du patrimoine et de cristallisation de la valeur. Covivio a notamment cédé l’immeuble Anjou, à Paris, pour un rendement de 3,5%. Un ensemble de bureaux en périphérie de Montpellier a été cédé pour 78 M€ et un rendement de 6,6%. Covivio a également signé une promesse de vente sur un immeuble de bureaux non core vacantsitué à Charenton, pour un montant de 49 M€. 

En résidentiel allemand, la qualité du patrimoine a permis de sécuriser 80 M€ (120 M€ à 100%) d’accords de cessions, essentiellement à Berlin, avec une marge moyenne de +16% : 35 M€ (53 M€ à 100%) de ventes à l’unité (marge de +46%) et 44 M€ (67 M€ à 100%) pour 4 immeubles vendus en bloc, en ligne avec les valeurs d’expertise. 

En hôtellerie, 65 M€ (152 M€ à 100%) de cessions ont été signées, principalement sur des actifs non core : 10 hôtels économiques et moyennes gammes en France et 2 hôtels en Espagne, orientés clientèle d’affaires, en prime de +2% sur les valeurs de fin 2022. 

Enfin, Covivio a apuré sa poche non stratégique en signant 24 M€ (54 M€ à 100%) de promesses de vente sur des actifs de commerce. 

Doublement de la liquidité, couvrant les échéances de dettes jusqu’au 1er trimestre 2026

En 2023, Covivio a sécurisé plus de 1,9 Md€ de financements ou refinancements (1,7 Md€ en part du Groupe), 86% étant associés à des critères ESG, pour une maturité moyenne de 7 ans. Bénéficiant d’une dette diversifiée, Covivio a été actif tant sur le marché bancaire qu’obligataire. 

735 M€ de crédits corporate associés à des critères ESG ont été sécurisés, sur une durée moyenne de plus de 6 ans, auxquels s’ajoutent 495 M€ de financements hypothécaires. Sur le marché obligataire, outre deux extensions de souches existantes pour 99 M€ chacune, Covivio a émis en novembre 2023 pour 500 M€ d’emprunts obligataires verts à maturité 2032, sur la base d’une marge de 168 pb. L’émission a été largement variabilisée afin de tirer parti de la très bonne situation de couverture du Groupe et contribue à l’allongement de la maturité de la dette.

Le travail de désendettement et de financement a ainsi permis de doubler la liquidité nette disponible du Groupe sur un an, à 2,4 Md€ fin 2023. A cette liquidité viendront s’ajouter près de 300 M€ (part du Groupe) de promesses de ventes restant à encaisser dans les prochains mois.

Des indicateurs de dette solides

Noté BBB+, perspective stable, par S&P, Covivio affiche un bilan solide. Les cessions de l’exercice ont contribué à la baisse de la dette nette de près de 700 M€ sur un an, à 6,9 Md€. Ce désendettement, malgré la baisse des valeurs d’expertise, a permis de contenir la hausse du ratio d’endettement (LTV), à 40,8%. Le ratio Dette nette / EBITDA s’inscrit pour sa part en nette diminution, à 12,8x (vs 14,5x fin 2022), et le ratio de couverture des intérêts (ICR) se maintient à un niveau élevé de 6,4x.

La dette dispose d’une maturité moyenne de 4,9 ans (vs 4,8 ans fin 2022) et est largement protégée contre la hausse des taux d’intérêt : taux de couverture de 92% pour une maturité moyenne des instruments de couverture de 5,9 ans. Ainsi, malgré la vive remontée des taux d’intérêt de marché, le taux moyen de la dette de Covivio est resté contenu, à 1,50% vs 1,24% fin 2022.

En 2023, les revenus locatifs s’établissent à 1 011 M€ et 648 M€ en part du Groupe, en progression de +2% sur un an à périmètre courant. La baisse des revenus bureaux, liée aux cessions, est plus que compensée par l’accélération de l’indexation, le rebond en hôtellerie et la solide croissance en résidentiel allemand. A périmètre constant, les revenus affichent une progression de +6,4%, portée par l’indexation (3,5 pts), la hausse des loyers lors des relocations et renouvellements (0,6 pt) et les revenus variables en hôtellerie (+2,3 pts).

En bureaux, les loyers diminuent de -3,2% suite aux cessions d’actifs réalisées en 2022 et 2023, mais progressent de +5,2% à périmètre constant, portés par l’indexation et la dynamique locative, constatée sur toutes les géographies : +4,0% en France, +6,4% en Italie et +6,5% en Allemagne. 

En hôtellerie, les revenus ont continué à bénéficier de la forte croissance de l’activité en 2023, avec une hausse de +12,7% à périmètre constant. Cette performance repose en premier lieu sur le rebond continu des revenus variables (43% du patrimoine hôtelier), tant par les loyers variables avec AccorInvest (+19%, portés par la solide performance des actifs parisiens), que le résultat des hôtels détenus en murs et fonds (+19% également, avec une forte croissance en France et un rebond progressif en Allemagne). Les loyers progressent aussi sur les actifs en bail fixe (57% du patrimoine hôtelier), de +9% à périmètre constant, soutenus par l’indexation (+3,1%), les opérations d’asset management (+5,7%). 

 

En résidentiel allemand, la croissance des loyers à périmètre constant accélère, à +3,9% en 2023 (vs +3,1% en 2022), et ce sur l’ensemble des géographies : Hambourg (+4,4%), Berlin (+4,0%), Rhénanie du Nord Westphalie (+3,9%) et Dresde et Leipzig (+2,9%). Cette hausse provient de l’indexation (pour 1,7 pt), des programmes de travaux d’amélioration des logements (pour 1,3 pt), et des relocations avec réversion élevée (pour 1 point). Le taux d’occupation se maintient à 99,1%, traduisant la qualité et l’attractivité du patrimoine, situé principalement dans les centres-villes. 

Le taux d’occupation moyen du patrimoine se maintient à un niveau élevé de 96,7% (vs 96,6% fin 2022), en ligne avec la moyenne des dix dernières années, tandis que la durée moyenne ferme des baux atteint près de 7 ans. 

 

Ajustement des valeurs du patrimoine de -10% sur l’année, dans un marché ralenti 

Face au nouvel environnement de taux, le marché de l’investissement en immobilier a été ralenti en 2023, et ce sur la plupart des classes d’actifs, les principales transactions ayant été réalisées par les investisseurs en fonds propres et utilisateurs finaux. D’après les chiffres de CBRE, toutes classes d’actifs confondues, les volumes se sont inscrits en retrait de -47% en Europe en 2023, à 163 Md€. La forte remontée des taux de capitalisation s’est matérialisée au fur et à mesure de l’année 2023 permettant de reconstituer une prime de risque immobilière, qui se rapproche de sa moyenne des 20 dernières années (170pb). A Paris QCA, le rendement prime en bureaux s’inscrit ainsi en hausse de +100pb sur un an, à 4,25% et la prime de risque par rapport à l’OAT 10 ans ressort à près de 155pb. 

Dans ce contexte, les valeurs des actifs de Covivio se sont contractées de -10,2% à périmètre constant. A fin 2023, le patrimoine s’élève à 23,1 Md€ à 100% et 15,1 Md€ part du Groupe.

En bureaux, les valeurs reculent de -11,7% à périmètre constant, affichant de fortes disparités en fonction de la centralité des actifs. Les actifs de centre-ville, qui constituent 69% du patrimoine, reculent de -8% et affichent dorénavant un rendement de 4,8%. Les actifs situés dans le cœur des principaux pôles d’affaires baissent de -18%, pour un rendement de 6,5%. Enfin, les baisses de valeurs les plus prononcées, de -21%, sont attribuables à la catégorie non core (6% du patrimoine bureaux), située en périphérie et directement impactée par les changements structurels des modes de travail.

Le résidentiel allemand affiche un recul de -10,8% à périmètre constant, la baisse des valeurs au second semestre ayant décéléré (-7,3% sur le 1er semestre et -3,7% au 2nd). La valeur moyenne du patrimoine résidentiel s’établit à 

2 461 €/m², dont 3 052 €/m² à Berlin et 1 826 €/m² en Rhénanie-du-Nord Westphalie, et le rendement moyen remonte de +60pb sur un an, à 4,1%. Le patrimoine est valorisé en valeur bloc. Pour autant, 48% du patrimoine, soit 2,2 Md€, est d’ores et déjà mis en copropriété, en particulier à Berlin (68% / 1,8 Md€), où l’écart entre valeur bloc et prix de vente au détail atteint +52%.

En hôtels, le patrimoine recule de -3,9% à périmètre constant sur l’année, les solides performances opérationnelles ayant en grande partie compensé l’impact de la hausse des taux (+50pb sur un an). Les hôtels en murs et fonds ont légèrement surperformé, baissant de -3,7%, contre -4,0% pour les actifs en bail. Le patrimoine affiche un rendement moyen de 5,9%, offrant une prime de risque élevée (+300pb par rapport à l’OAT). 

Fin 2023, le rendement moyen du patrimoine de Covivio ressort ainsi à 5,1%, en hausse de +70 pb sur un an. 

Croissance du résultat net récurrent dans un contexte de désendettement

Résultat net récurrent de 435 M€, en hausse annuelle de +1% 

En dépit du programme de cessions et de la remontée du coût moyen de la dette, les fortes performances opérationnelles et la baisse des coûts de fonctionnement ont permis au résultat net récurrent (EPRA Earnings ajusté) de s’inscrire en progression de +1,2% sur un an, à 435,4 M€ (-2,5% à 4,47€ par action, en raison de l’augmentation du nombre moyen d’actions). Ce résultat est supérieur de +6% à la guidance annoncée en début d’exercice (410 M€) et de +4% à celle révisée en milieu d’année (420 M€).

Le résultat net de Covivio ressort quant à lui à -1,4 Md€, impacté par les baisses de valeurs.

Actif net réévalué EPRA NTA de 84,1€/action, en baisse de -21% sur un an 

Les ajustements des valeurs d’actifs se reflètent dans l’évolution de l’actif net réévalué de continuation (ANR EPRA NTA), en retrait de -21% sur un an, à 84,1€/action (et 8 470 M€). L’ANR de liquidation (EPRA NDV) recule quant à lui de -23% à 83,4€/action (et 8 401 M€). Enfin, l’ANR de reconstitution (EPRA NRV) ressort à 9 327 M€ et 92,6€ par action.  

             

ESG : nouvelle progression des indicateurs, de la satisfaction clients et des notations 

Un patrimoine certifié en constante progression, désormais à 95,3% 

Covivio a poursuivi l’augmentation du taux de certification de son patrimoine : la part bénéficiant d’une certification HQE, BREEAM, LEED ou équivalent, en opération et/ou en construction, atteint désormais 95,3% (+2 points vs 2022).

En outre, la part des immeubles de bureaux bénéficiant des meilleurs niveaux de certification (Very Good et au-delà) s’établit à 67%, en hausse de +4 pts par rapport à 2022.  

Cette stratégie d’amélioration environnementale de l’intégralité du portefeuille contribue activement à l’atteinte des ambitions ESG du Groupe, notamment celui de réduire de -40% ses émissions de gaz à effet de serre entre 2010 et

2030 (sur l’ensemble des scopes 1, 2 et 3 et la totalité du cycle de vie des actifs : matériaux, construction, restructuration et exploitation). 

Nouvelle amélioration des notations des clients  

Soucieux d’entretenir sa culture-clients et d’améliorer en continu ses offres, Covivio mène régulièrement des études indépendantes de satisfaction. Les résultats en 2023 sont de nouveau très positifs. En bureaux, l’enquête réalisée avec l’institut KingsleySurvey auprès de 270 utilisateurs finaux en France, en Allemagne et en Italie, a révélé une satisfaction globale de 3,9/5 (vs benchmark à 3,6) et une satisfaction du property management de 4/5 (vs benchmark à 3,5). 

Sur les logements en Allemagne et pour la 6e année consécutive, Covivio s’est vu octroyer la note « Very Good »

(meilleure note possible) par la revue Focus Money, à l’issue de l'étude « Fairest landlord 2024 ». Le Groupe fait ainsi partie des quatre entreprises à avoir obtenu la note « Very Good » dans les six catégories de l’étude.  En hôtellerie, la note booking.com moyenne de localisation de nos hôtels progresse de 0,1 pt sur un an, à 8,9/10.

Progression des notations par les agences 

Début février 2024, Covivio a de nouveau été reconnu par le CDP (Carbon Disclosure Project) pour son leadership en matière de transparence et de performance sur le changement climatique, avec l’obtention de la note « A », la meilleure note possible. Covivio fait ainsi partie du cercle restreint (1,6%) des entreprises ayant obtenu la note « A », parmi plus de 20 000 entreprises évaluées. 

Au cours de l’année 2023, Covivio a également reçu des notes en amélioration par le GRESB, qui évalue la politique, les plans d’actions et les performances ESG de plus de 1 500 entreprises du secteur du bâtiment et de l’immobilier dans le monde. Covivio gagnait ainsi 2 points, obtenant la note de 90/100 sur le volet « Patrimoine en exploitation », soutenue notamment par une note maximale de 100% sur le volet « Management » et de 97/100 sur le volet « Développement ». Le Groupe conserve ainsi son statut d’excellence « 5-star ». 

Perspectives 2024

Dans un marché immobilier mis à l’épreuve en 2023, Covivio a dépassé ses objectifs. Le bilan a été renforcé et les solides performances opérationnelles ont permis au résultat récurrent de s’inscrire en légère croissance, validant le positionnement et la stratégie du groupe.  En 2024, dans un contexte de baisse attendue des taux d’intérêt en Europe et de reconstitution de la prime de risque, Covivio se prépare à la reprise. Dans ce contexte, le groupe se fixe deux ambitions centrales pour cet exercice : maintenir la discipline financière et poursuivre la croissance de son résultat net récurrent. 

Maintien de la discipline financière 

Proposition d’un dividende de 3,30€ par action, avec option de paiement en actions

Dans ce contexte, il sera proposé au vote de l’Assemblée Générale du 17 avril 2024 la distribution d’un dividende de 3,30€ par action (contre 3,75€ en 2023), accompagné d’une option de paiement du dividende en actions. La plupart des actionnaires institutionnels présents au Conseil d’administration (43% du capital) se sont d’ores et déjà engagés à opter pour le paiement du dividende en actions. Ces décisions permettront au groupe de conserver entre 185 M€ et 375 M€.

Objectif de 580 M€ de cessions en 2024 

Covivio s’est donné pour objectif de céder 1,5 Md€ d’actifs entre décembre 2022 et fin 2024 et finit l’année 2023 en avance sur son plan de ventes. A fin 2023, 920 M€ d’accords de cessions, ont d’ores et déjà été signés (dont 720 M€ sur l’année 2023), grâce à la diversité et la qualité du patrimoine, permettant d’adresser un large spectre d’investisseurs potentiels : institutionnels, utilisateurs finaux, particuliers, opérateurs hôteliers.  

En 2024, Covivio entend finaliser son plan de cessions avec un objectif de 580 M€, dont 250 M€ sont en négociations avancées.

Un patrimoine fortement recentré offrant des opportunités de croissance 

Depuis 2020, Covivio a réalisé pour 2,1 Md€ de ventes, à 80% en bureaux, et investi 1,4 Md€, essentiellement via des capex sur ses actifs. Ce travail de rotation qualitative a permis un fort recentrage du patrimoine et une adaptation aux mutations des marchés locatifs :

-       Le patrimoine s’équilibre progressivement, la part de bureaux passant de 60% fin 2020 à 52% fin 2023.

-       69% des bureaux sont situés en centre-ville, contre 59% fin 2020, et le solde est principalement composé d’actifs core dans des quartiers d’affaires établis, loués à 93% pour 6,1 années fermes en moyenne. Face à la polarisation croissante du marché locatif, le positionnement haut de gamme de Covivio (centralité, haute performance environnementale, offre servicielle ambitieuse) porte ses fruits, comme l’atteste l’activité 2023. 

-       Le résidentiel allemand représente 31% du patrimoine et bénéficie d’une exposition aux localisations les plus recherchées. Le déséquilibre entre l’offre et la demande de logements ne cesse de s’accroître. A Berlin en particulier, une nouvelle actualisation des indices de marché (Mietspiegel) au T2 2024 devrait contribuer au renforcement de la dynamique locative. Covivio peut aussi s’appuyer sur des loyers de 20% à 25% inférieurs aux loyers régulés. En outre, la valeur du patrimoine reste très éloignée des prix de vente au détail alors que 68% des actifs sont déjà divisés en copropriété (valeurs de 3 052 €/m² à Berlin vs prix de vente moyen sur le marché de 4 700€).

-       Le renforcement en hôtellerie, qui représente 17% du patrimoine, s’est accompagné d’un recentrage sur les meilleures localisations. En parallèle, le secteur a de nouveau prouvé sa capacité à dépasser l’inflation (croissance annuelle moyen des RevPAR [5]de +3,4% de 2009 à 2023, contre une inflation moyenne de +2,2%). Les perspectives sont favorables, avec une croissance moyenne des nuitées hôtelières attendue à +5%/an d’ici à 2030 en Europe[6]. L’activité 2024 sera aussi portée par des évènements majeurs (Jeux Olympiques 2024 à Paris, Euro de football en Allemagne). Covivio entend également profiter des opérations d’asset management en cours, en particulier la concrétisation de l’échange d’actifs avec AccorInvest.

Objectif de résultat net récurrent 2024 en croissance

Grâce à ce repositionnement qualitatif, Covivio affiche des perspectives locatives solides qui, comme en 2023, devraient permettre de compenser l’impact du désendettement sur les résultats. Covivio se fixe ainsi pour objectif la poursuite de la croissance de son résultat net récurrent (EPRA Earnings ajusté) en 2024, attendu autour de 440 M€. Le Groupe vise également un retour à un paiement du dividende uniquement en numéraire au titre de 2024, avec un taux de distribution supérieur à 80%.

2. BUSINESS ANALYSIS BY SEGMENT 

A. OFFICES: 52% OF COVIVIO’S PORTFOLIO

Covivio has implemented a strategy based on centrality, hospitality, and sustainability. This global strategy is particularly reflected in its office portfolio, characterized by high levels of centrality and accessibility, A-quality and toplevel services offer. This strategy is bearing fruits, as illustrated by the increase in occupancy rate in 2023, +10bps to 94.5%. 

Covivio owns offices in France (27% of Covivio’s portfolio), Italy (17%), and Germany (8%) totalling €9.4 billion (€7.8 billion Group share) at end-December 2023. 

Covivio's portfolio is split as follows:

Core assets in city centers (69% of Covivio’s office portfolio, +4pts vs. 2022 and +10pts vs. 2020): located in city centers of main European cities (Paris/Levallois/Neuilly, Milan, Berlin, Düsseldorf, Hamburg, and French major regional cities), with high occupancy (97%) and long WALB (5.2 years).

Core assets in major business hubs (25%, -2pts vs. 2022): includes assets with value resiliency and liquidity, in well-connected business hubs (Greater Paris, Periphery of German cities), with high occupancy (93%) and long WALB (6.1 years), mostly let to long-term partners such as Telecom Italia, Thalès and Dassault Systèmes. 

Non-Core assets (6%, -2pts vs. 2022): gathers secondary offices assets outside city centers in Germany, Italy, Greater Paris, for which the occupancy rate (82%) and the WALB (3.5 years) are lower, with a disposal or

conversion into residential strategy. 

1. European office market: confirmed polarization, slowdown in investments1
        1.1.      French offices: continued rise of prime rents 

Take-up in Greater Paris office market reached 1 932 100 m² in 2023, down -17% year-on-year: 

Paris Centre West continued to outperform, with take-up declining by -12% year-on-year to 573,700m² 

Paris inner city counted for 46% of the total take-up in Greater Paris (vs. 40% on average over the last 5 years).

The immediate offer increased by +10.2% YoY to 4.8 million m² and the vacancy rate now stands at 8.4%, up by +70bps year-on-year, but with strong disparities: 

► In Paris CBD, vacancies decreased by 10bps to 2.7%.

► In the first ring, the vacancy rate remains at high levels, increasing by 290bps to 15.4%

Prime rents in Paris continued to increase, reaching an all-time high of €1,070/m²/year (+7% vs. 2022), while remaining stable in other areas. Incentives in Greater Paris increased slightly to 25.4%, up +80bps YoY, with strong disparities across sub-markets: 

► Slight increase in Paris CBD, +20bps at 15.9%

► Higher increase in La Défense, +200bps at 35.9%

Office investments in Greater Paris totaled €4.7 billion over 2023, down –56% YoY. Prime yields increased over the year, +100bps in Paris CBD to 4.25%.

        1.2.      Milan offices: still a dynamic letting market 

The Milan office market recorded a total take-up of 412 000 (-15% year-on-year but still +8% above 5-year average) after a record year in 2022. Demand remained focused on buildings in prime locations, offering good level of services, as demonstrated by the level of grade A/A+ properties, which now count for 80% of the total take-up in Milan. 

The average vacancy rate in Milan decreased by -50bps YoY, to +11.1% at end-2023, with strong disparity between the centre (where most of Covivio’s portfolio is located) and the periphery: 

► In Milan CBD, the vacancy rate stood at 5.9%, a slight increase of +40bps over one year, and decreased by 1pt to 3.4% in the semi-centre 

► In the periphery, the vacancy rate increased by 80bps to 17.5%.

The intense demand for high-quality spaces, combined with the scarcity of grade A assets, contributed to the stabilisation of prime rents in Milan at €700/m²/year.

With a total amount of €1.1 billion invested (-78% YoY), €0.73 billion for Milan (-79.9% YoY), the Italian office investment market was limited in 2023. Prime yields now stand at 4.25% in Milan CBD (+50bps YoY) and 4.75% in Milan Centre (+50bps YoY).

        1.3.      Germany offices: -26% in take-up, but prime rents up +6% yoy 

Take-up in Germany top six markets in 2023 decreased by 26% year-on-year to 2,233,600 m², impacted by economic slowdown and working from home impact.  

Vacancy rates reached 5.6% on average, up +80 bps YoY. Berlin (4.4%) and Hamburg (3.9%) recorded the lowest vacancy rates, followed by Munich at 5.5%, while in Frankfurt and Dusseldorf vacancy levels remained higher, respectively at 9.7% and 8.2%. 

Prime rents grew on average by +7.4% across 2023, with varying performances: Strong growth in Düsseldorf (+19%), while Munich (+9%) and Berlin (+4%) also experienced decent growth. In Hamburg, prime rents stabilized in 2023, while Frankfurt suffered negative growth (-6%).

Investment volume in German Offices declined by -79% YoY in 2023 to €4.6 billion. Prime yields now stand at 4.4% on average for the top 6 cities in Germany, up +100bps YoY.

1 LfL: Like-for-Like

Compared to last year, rental income decreased by -€10.6 million, mainly due to: 

„  Like-for-Like rental growth (+€14.7 million) of +5.2%, mostly driven by the impact of strong indexation:

„  Disposals (-€26.4 million) realized in 2022 (-€14.9 million) and in 2023 (-€11.5 million),

„  Positive contribution from office pipeline (+€1.7 million), the impact of vacated assets to be redeveloped 

(-€13.9 million), being offset by deliveries of new assets (+€15.6 million), shared between 2022 deliveries (So Pop, Streambuilding, Goujon) and 2023 deliveries (Maslö, DS Campus, Beagle).

The decrease is mainly explained by the following variations:  

„  The decrease in France (-11%) is driven by the release of premises in Western Crescent and disposals in Major Regional Cities.

„  The increase in Italy is mostly explained by the stability of the portfolio with an increased occupancy rate (98.7%) and a significant WALB (6.3 years).

„  The increase in Germany (+6%) is mostly explained by the Offices portfolio in Berlin and the delivery of Beagle in Berlin.

4. Indexation

Fixed-indexed leases are indexed to benchmark indices (ILC and ICC in France and the consumer price index for foreign assets) :

-       For current leases in France, 93% of rental income is indexed to ILAT; 5% to ICC ; The balance is indexed to ILC or the IRL.

-       In Italy, the indexation of rental income is usually calculated by applying the increase in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) on each anniversary of the signing of the agreement. 

-       Rents are indexed on the German consumer price index for 42% of leases, 10% have a fixed uplift and 32% have an indexation clause (if CPI goes above an annual increase between 5% and 10%). The remainder (16%) is not indexed and mainly let to public administration.

„  In France, the occupancy rate decreased by -30bps to 94.1%, compared to 94.4% at end-2022, mostly due to one vacated asset (Atlantis, already 70% relet) and one delivery in Q1 2023 (Maslö, now 87% let). 

„  In Italy, the occupancy rate level increased by +30bps to 98.7%, compared to 98.4% at end-2022, due to new lettings.

„  In Germany, the occupancy rate increased by +130 bps to 86.4% vs. end-2022. This is mainly linked to lettings, especially on Zeughaus in Hamburg and on CCC in Frankfurt.

     2. Business analysis - Group share German residential – 2023 results

B. GERMAN RESIDENTIAL: 31% OF COVIVIO PORTFOLIO 

Covivio operates in the German Residential segment through its 61.7% held subsidiary Covivio Immobilien. The figures presented are expressed as 100% and as Covivio Group share.

Covivio owns around ~41,100 units in Berlin, Hamburg, Dresden, Leipzig, and North Rhine-Westphalia, representing €7.2 billion (€4.7 billion Group share) of assets. 

Covivio is mostly exposed to A-cities in Germany, with a 100% exposure to metropolitan areas above 1 million inhabitants and 90% in cities above 500 000 inhabitants. Covivio targets the high-end of the housing market. 

Exposure to Berlin, where housing shortage is the highest in Germany, represents 56% at year-end 2023. Covivio’s portfolio in Berlin is of high quality, with 68% of buildings built before 1950 and 68% of the surface already divided into condominiums.

1. Supply/demand imbalance increased again in 2023, supporting rents 

„  In Germany, the demand for housing continued to rise since the start of the year, in a context of increasing number of inhabitants while building completions, around 270 000 units in 2023, remain far from the Government target (> 400 000 units / year). 

„  This shortage continues to support rents in Germany and especially in Berlin. Average rents of new buildings in Berlin increased by +9% to €19.4/m² in 2023, while for existing buildings rents increased by +6% to € 12.9/m² according to Riwis/Bulwiengesa.

„  German residential investment market (for multi-family buildings above 30 units) was down -38% in 2023 versus the prior year, to €7.5 billion. The private market was also impacted, as shown by private real estate loans recorded by the Bundesbank, decreasing -37% year-on-year to €161 billion.

„  Average prices slightly decreased yoy, by -4% for existing buildings, to €4,750/m², still well above the current valuation of Covivio’s residential portfolio (€3,052/m² in Berlin). The average square meter price for new buildings also decreased, by –2.8% to €7,000/m². 

In 2023, Covivio's activities were marked by:

„  Accelerated rental growth: +3.9% on a like-for-life basis (vs. +3.1% in 2022); and

„  -10.8% value decline on a like-for-like basis, due to the increase in interest rates.

Rental income amounted to €185.1 million Group share in 2023, up +4.8% (+€8.5million) thanks to:

„  In Berlin, like-for-like rental growth is +4.0% (+€ 3.6 million), driven by the indexation (+2.0 pts) and relettings (+1.4 pts) with high uplift (+31% in 2023).

„  Outside Berlin, like-for-like rental growth was strong in all areas (+3.8% on average, +€3.2 million) due to the reletting impact (including modernizations) and the indexation.

1 Other commercial: Ground-floor retail, car parks, etc || 2 North Rhine-Westphalia

The portfolio breakdown remained relatively stable over the past few periods, with Berlin generating slightly above 50% of total rental income (stable vs 2022), through residential units and some commercial units (mainly ground-floor retail).

Rental income (€8.6/m²/month on average) offers solid growth potential through reversion vs. our achieved reletting rents in all our markets including Berlin (25%-30%) Hamburg (20%-25%), Dresden and Leipzig (10%-15%) and in North RhineWestphalia (20%-25%).

4. Indexation 

Rental income from residential property in Germany changes depending on multiple mechanisms.

4.1. Rents for re-leased properties:

In principle, rents may be increased freely, provided the property is not financed through governmental subsidies. 

As an exception to the unrestricted rent setting principle, cities like Berlin, Hamburg, Cologne, Düsseldorf, Dresden and Leipzig have introduced rent caps (Mietpreisbremse) for re-leased properties. In these cities, rents for re-leased properties cannot exceed the public rent reference (Mietspiegel) by more than 10%, except in the following conditions: 

„  If the property has been modernised in the past three years, the rent for the re-let property may exceed the +10% limit by a maximum of 8% of the costs to modernise it.

„  In the event the property is completely modernised (work amounting to more than one-third of new construction costs excl. Maintenance), the rent may be increased freely.

„  If the rent received from the previous tenant is higher than the +10% limit, then the previous rent will be the limit in the case of re-letting.

Properties built after 1 October 2014 are not included in the rent cap.

4.2.  For current leases:

For residential tenants, the rent can generally be adjusted based on the local comparative rent (Mietspiegel), which is usually determined based on the rent index. In addition to this adjustment method, an index-linked or graduated rent agreement can also be concluded. A successive combination of adjustment methods can also be contractually agreed (e.g. graduated rent for the first 5 years of the contract, followed by adjustment to the local comparative rent).

Adjustment to the local comparative rent: The current rent can be increased by 15% to 20% within three years, depending on the region, without exceeding the local comparative rent (Mietspiegel). This type of contract represents c.

90% of our rental income.

4.3.  For current leases with work carried out:

If works have been carried out, rents may be increased by up to 8% of the cost of work excl. maintenance, in addition to the possible increase according to the rent index. This increase is subject to three conditions:

•       The works aim to save energy, increase the utility value, or improve the living conditions in the long run.

•       The rent increase takes effect 3 months after the declaration of rent increase.

•       The rent may not be increased by more than €3/m² for work to modernise the property within a six-year period (€2/m² if the initial rent is below €7/m²).

At the end of December 2023, Covivio held a unique hotel portfolio of €2.5 billion group share (€6.4 billion at 100%) in Europe. This strategic portfolio is characterised by:

„  High-quality locations: average Booking.com location grade of 8.9/10 and 89% in major European city destinations.

„  Diversified portfolio: in terms of countries (12 countries, none representing more than 33% of the total portfolio), and segment (67% economic/midscale and 33% upscale).

„  Major hotel operators with long-term leases: 16 hotel operators with an average lease duration of 12.2 years.

The portfolio value decreased by -3.9% Like-for-Like, a mix of:

-          Lease properties (-4.0%): This decline, primarily attributed to the rise in cap rates, was counterbalanced by a positive income effect resulting from the improved hotel performance and rent indexation;

-          Operating portfolio (-3.7%): The value of German hotel fell by 4.5% in 2023, reflecting market performance and a rise in interest rates. Good performance for the French portfolio with a value increase of +2.4% thanks to one asset in the south of the France which was renovated and to the rebound of market performance.

France Offices: decrease is led by the sales of assets partially offset by indexation and deliveries.  

Italy Offices: decrease mainly due to the sale of assets, partially offset by the like-for-like rental growth driven by high indexation.  

Germany Offices: increase of the rents benefitting from high indexation and a slight reduction of the vacancy.

German Residential: increase driven by continued rental growth driven by mainly indexation, modernisation works and positive reversion. 

Hotels in Europe: recovery has been very strong and steady over the period having significant impact on variable rents.  

„  EBITDA from the hotel operating activity and flex-office: increase in revenues of the hotel property activity following the acquisition of 3 funds in UK and 2 funds in Belgium in the 4th quarter of 2022.The flex-office activity increased slightly thanks to the ramp-up of this activity and the opening of new spaces in Milan with full year effect in 2023.  

„  Income from other activities: the change in net income from other activities comes from the slowdown in property development projects in German and French residential business.

 

„  Net operating costs: a strong cost control compensates the decrease in external fees revenues. 

„  Amortisation of operating assets:

Note that this item includes the amortisation linked to the right of use according to IFRS 16. This amortisation of right of use is mainly related to owner-occupied buildings and headquarters. The €8.4 million increase is mainly due to new operated hotels in the UK (3 hotels), Belgium (2 hotels in Bruges) in France (1 hotel in Paris) and the full year effect of the new Wellio site opened in 2022.  

 

„  Change in the fair value of assets:

The income statement recognises changes in the fair value (-€1,751.8 million) of assets based on appraisals carried out on the portfolio. This line item does not include the change in fair value of assets recognised at amortised cost under IFRS but is taken into account in the EPRA NAV calculation (hotel operating properties, flex-office assets and other own occupied buildings). For more details on changes in the portfolio by activity, see section 1 of this document.

„  Income from asset disposals & disposal of securities:

Income from asset disposals contributed €-34.3 million during the year. 

 

„  Cost of net financial debt:

The cost of net financial debt increases due to the rise in interest rate, partially offset by a decrease of net debt.

 

„  Interest charges linked to finance lease liability:

The Group rents some land under long term leasehold. According to IFRS 16, such rental costs are stated as interest charges. This is stable compared with FY 2022 and refers to the hotel activity for an amount equal to -€6.7 million.

 

„  Value adjustment on derivatives:

The fair value of financial instruments (hedging instruments) is slightly impacted by an average -68 bps decrease in the 10Y swap. The P&L impact is an expense of -€132.4 million.

„  The restatement of the amortisation of operating assets (+€29.6 million) offsets the real estate amortisation of the flex-office and hotel operating activities.

„  The restatement of the net change in provisions (-€6.4 million) consists of the ground lease expenses linked to the UK leasehold for €3.3 million and the reversal of a null and void provision for a €3.2 million on the Hotels in Europe scope.

„  Concerning the interest charges linked to finance lease liabilities relating to the UK leasehold, as per IAS 40 §25, €4.6 million was cancelled and replaced by the lease expenses paid (see the amount of -€3.3 million under the line item “Net change in provisions and other”).

As a result, these effects are also presents in non-controlling interests and in net income Group share.

The decrease in Offices (-€1.464 million) was mainly due to the disposals (-€587 million), the change in fair value (€1,020 million) and reclassification to inventories for new build to sell projects (-€122 million) partly offset by +€220 million of Acquisition and CAPEX.

The decrease in German Residential (-€563 million) was mainly due to the change in fair value (-€653 million), CAPEX and acquisitions (+€97million), partly offset by disposals for the year (-€31 million).

The decrease in the Hotels portfolio (-€76 million) was mainly driven by the decrease in fair value (-€78 million), Amortization of operating properties and other tangible assets (-€20.3 million), Acquisition and Capex (+€19 million), right of use (+€5 million), offset by disposals (-€9 million) and foreign currency exchange gain (+€10 million). 

„  Assets held for sale (included in the total fixed assets above), €227.3 million at year end 2023

Assets held for sale consist of assets for which a preliminary sales agreement has been signed. The breakdown by segment is as follow: o 50.7% of offices in France : €115 million. o 31.2% of hotels in Europe : €71 million.  o 15.9% of offices in Italy : €36 million.

                  o     2.2% of residential in Germany : €5 million.

„  Total Group shareholders’ equity

Shareholders’ equity decreased from €9,443 million at the end of 2022 to €7,957 million at year end 2023, i.e. -€1,486 million, mainly due to: o Income for the period: -€1,418.8 million. o The dividend distribution: -€351.9 million, partially offset by option for payment in shares (+€279.1 million).

„  Net deferred tax liabilities

Deferred tax liabilities represent €650 million in liabilities at the end of year versus €835 million in 2022, Deferred tax assets represent €57 million in assets at the end of year versus €78 million in 2022. This €164 million decrease is mainly due to the drop in appraisal values in Germany (-€116.2 million), the drop in fair values of derivatives (-€8 million) and the entry in the UK REIT regime in the Hotel activity (€-14 million).

4. FINANCIAL RESOURCES

Summary of the financial activity

Covivio is rated BBB+ with a stable outlook by S&P, confirmed on May 16th, 2023.

Covivio’s Loan-to-Value (LTV) ratio was 40.8% (LTV policy < 40%), thanks to active portfolio rotation and despite value adjustments. Average cost of debt slightly increases to 1.50% (+26 bps vs end-2022), thanks to a highly hedged debt, and maturity of debt increased to 4.9 years (vs. 4.8 years in 2022).

The net available liquidity position doubled to €2.4 billion on a Group share basis at end-December 2023, including €1.6 billion of undrawn credit lines and €0.9 billion of cash minor by €0.1 billion of Commercial Paper. This strong liquidity position enables to cover debt expiries until Q1 2026.

4.3. Debt maturity                        

The average maturity of Covivio's debt stands at 4.9 years at end-December 2023. Until 2024, there is no major maturity that has not already been covered or is already under renegotiation.

The next large maturities occur in 2024 and are mainly composed of a bond of €300 million (to be reimbursed) and a mortgage debt of €150 million Group share linked to the Telecom Italia portfolio.

In 2024 and 2025 debt expiries, approximately 17% of maturities (€313 million) relate to undrawn credit lines, mostly in France and Germany. 25% (€454 million) relate to bonds, and 58% (€1.1 billion) is comprised of bank mortgages that are well diversified in terms of asset class and geography: 26% in Germany offices, 30% in Germany residential, 11% in hotels, 16% in Italy offices and 17% in France offices. No single item of debt maturing before end-2025 exceeds €350 million.

4.5. Average interest rate on debt and sensitivity

The average interest rate on Covivio’s debt increased by 26 bps to 1.50% in Group share.  

Financial structure

Excluding debts raised without recourse to the Group’s property companies, the debts of Covivio and its subsidiaries generally include bank covenants (ICR and LTV) applying to the borrower’s consolidated financial statements. If these covenants are breached, early debt repayment may be triggered. These covenants are established on a Group share basis for Covivio and Covivio Hotels. 

„  The most restrictive consolidated LTV covenants amounted, at 3[9] December 2023, to 60% for Covivio and Covivio Hotels.

„  The most restrictive ICR consolidated covenants applicable to the REITs, at 31 December 2023, are of 200% for Covivio and Covivio Hotels.

With respect to Covivio Immobilien (German Residential), for which almost all of the debt raised is "non-recourse" debt, portfolio financings do not contain LTV or ICR consolidated financial covenants.

Lastly, with respect to Covivio, some corporate credit facilities are subject to the following ratios:

 (1) Excluding credit spread impact of €+7M 

Valuations are carried out in accordance with the Code of conduct applicable to SIICs and the Charter of property valuation expertise, the recommendations of the COB/CNCC working group chaired by Mr Barthès de Ruyter and the international plan in accordance with the standards of the International Valuation Standards Council (IVSC) and those of the Red Book of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS).

The real estate portfolio held directly by the Group was valued on 31 December 2023 by independent real estate experts such as Cushman, REAG, CBRE, HVS, JLL, BNPP Real Estate, MKG and CFE. This did not include:

„  assets on which the sale has been agreed, which are valued at their agreed sale price;

„  assets owned for less than 75 days, for which the acquisition value is deemed to be the market value.

Assets were estimated at values excluding and/or including duties, and rents at market value. Estimates were made using the comparative method, the rent capitalisation method and the discounted future cash flow method.

Other assets and liabilities were valued using the principles of the IFRS standards on consolidated financial statements. The application of fair value essentially concerns the valuation of debt coverages.

For companies co-owned with other investors, only the Group share was considered.

Fair value assessment of operating properties: 

In accordance with IFRS, operating properties are valued at historical cost. To take into account the appraisal value, a €175 million value adjustment was recognised in EPRA NRV, NDV, NTA related to: 

-       co-working and operating hotel properties for €141 million

-       own-occupied buildings for €31 million

-       car parks for €3 million

 

Fair value adjustment for fixed-rate debts

The Group has taken out fixed-rate loans (secured bond and private placement). In accordance with EPRA principles, EPRA NDV was adjusted for the fair value of fixed-rate debt. The impact is +€318 million at 31 December 2023.

Recalculation of the base cost excluding duties of certain assets

When a company, rather than the asset that it holds, can be sold, transfer duties are re-calculated based on the company’s net asset values (NAV). The difference between these re-calculated duties and the transfer duties already deducted from the value had an impact of €33.7 million at 31 December 2023.

Deferred tax liabilities

The EPRA NTA assumes that entities buy and sell assets, thereby crystallising certain levels of unavoidable deferred tax.

For this purpose, the Group uses the following method:

-          Offices: takes into account 50% of deferred tax considering the regular asset rotation policy,

-          Hotels: takes into account deferred tax on the non-core part of the portfolio, expected to be sold within the next few years,

-          Residential: includes the deferred tax linked to the building classified as Assets available held for sale, considering the low level of asset rotation in this activity.

„       Net asset value per share: NRV, NTA and NDV

NRV (Net Reinstatement Value) per share, NTA (Net Tangible Assets) per share and NDV (Net Disposal Value) per share are calculated pursuant to the EPRA recommendations, based on the shares outstanding as at yearend (excluding treasury shares) and adjusted for the effect of dilution.

„       Operating assets

Properties leased or available for rent and actively marketed.

„       Rental activity

Rental activity includes mention of the total surface areas and the annualized rental income for renewed leases, vacated premises and new lettings during the period under review. 

For renewed leases and new lettings, the figures provided take into account all contracts signed in the period so as to reflect the transactions completed, even if the start of the leases is subsequent to the period. 

Lettings relating to assets under development (becoming effective at the delivery of the project) are identified under the heading “Pre-lets".

„       Cost of development projects

This indicator is calculated including interest costs. It includes the costs of the property and costs of construction.

„       Definition of the acronyms and abbreviations used:

MRC: Major regional cities, i.e. Lyon, Bordeaux, Lille, Aix-Marseille, Montpellier, Nantes and Toulouse

ED: Excluding Duties

ID: Including Duties

CCI: Construction Cost Index

CPI: Consumer Price Index

RRI: Rental Reference Index

PACA: Provence-Alpes-Côte-d’Azur

LFL: Like-for-Like

GS: Group share

CBD: Central Business District

Rtn: Yield

Chg: Change

MRV: Market Rental Value

„       Firm residual term of leases 

Average outstanding period remaining of a lease calculated from the date a tenant first takes up an exit option.

Green Assets

“Green” buildings, according to IPD, are those where the building and/or its operating status are certified as HQE, BREEAM, LEED, etc. and/or which have a recognised level of energy performance such as the BBCeffinergieR, HPE, THPE or RT Global certifications.

„       Unpaid rent (%)

Unpaid rent corresponds to the net difference between charges, reversals and irrecoverable loss of income divided by rent invoiced. These appear directly in the income statement under net cost of irrecoverable income.

„       Loan To Value (LTV) 

The LTV calculation is detailed in Part 4 “Financial Resources”. 

LTV EPRA is available in the dedicated EPRA reporting, Part 5.

„       Rental income

Recorded rent corresponds to gross rental income accounted for over the year by considering deferment of any relief granted to tenants, in accordance with IFRS standards.

The like-for-like rental income posted allows comparisons to be made between rental income from one year to the next, before taking changes to the portfolio (e.g. acquisitions, disposals, building works and development deliveries) into account. This indicator is based on assets in operation, i.e. properties leased or available for rent and actively marketed.

Annualized “topped-up” rental income corresponds to the gross amount of guaranteed rent for the full year based on existing assets at the period end, excluding any relief.

„       Portfolio 

The portfolio presented includes investment properties, properties under development, as well as operating properties and properties in inventory for each of the entities, stated at their fair value. For the hotel operating properties, it includes the valuation of the portfolio consolidated under the equity method. For offices in France, the portfolio includes asset valuations of Euromed and New Vélizy, which are consolidated under the equity method.

„       Projects

•     Committed projects: these are projects for which promotion or construction contracts have been signed and/or work has begun and has not yet been completed at the closing date. The delivery date for the relevant asset has already been scheduled. They might pertain to VEFA (pre-construction) projects or to the repositioning of existing assets.

•     Managed projects: These are projects that might be undertaken and that have no scheduled delivery date. In other words, projects for which the decision to launch operations has not been finalised.

             


Yields/return

The portfolio returns are calculated according to the following formula:

Gross annualized rent (not corrected for vacancy)

image

        Value excl. duties for the relevant scope (operating or development)

The returns on asset disposals or acquisitions are calculated according to the following formula:

Gross annualized rent (not corrected for vacancy)

image

                                          Acquisition value including duties or disposal value excluding duties

„       EPRA Earnings

 

EPRA Earnings is defined as "the recurring result from operating activities". It is the indicator for measuring the company's performance, calculated according to EPRA's Best Practices Recommendations. The EPRA Earnings per share is calculated using the average number of shares (excluding treasury shares) over the period under review.

                         Calculation: 

(+) Net Rental Income

(+) EBITDA of hotels operating activities and Coworking

(+) Income from other activities

(-) Net Operating Costs (including costs of structure, costs on development projects, revenues from administration and management)

(-) Depreciation of operating assets

(-) Net change in provisions and other

(-) Cost of the net financial debt

(-) Interest charges linked to finance lease liability

(-) Net change in financial provisions

(+) EPRA Earnings of companies consolidated under the equity method

(-) Corporate taxes

     Average cost of debt outstanding in the year

Spot rate: Definition equivalent to average interest rate over a period of time restricted to the last day of the period.

„       Occupancy rate

The occupancy rate corresponds to the spot financial occupancy rate at the end of the period and is calculated using the following formula: 

1 - Loss of rental income through vacancies (calculated at MRV)          rental income of occupied assets + loss of rental income

This indicator is calculated solely for properties on which asset management work has been done and therefore does not include assets available under pre-leasing agreements. Occupancy rate are calculated using annualized data solely on the strategic activities portfolio. Future leases secured on vacant spaces are accounted for as occupied.

The “Occupancy rate” indicator includes all portfolio assets except assets under development.

„       Like-for-like change in rent 

This indicator compares rents recognised from one financial year to another without accounting for changes in scope: acquisitions, disposals, developments including the vacating and delivery of properties. The change is calculated using rental income under IFRS for strategic activities. 

This change is restated for certain severance pay and income associated with the Italian real estate (IMU) tax.

Given specificities and common practices in German residential, the Lile-for-Like change is computed based on the rent in €/m² spot N versus N-1 (without vacancy impact) on the basis of accounted rents. For operating hotels (owned by FDMM), like-for-like change is calculated on an EBITDA basis Restatement done: 

o         Deconsolidation of acquisitions and disposals realised on the N and N-1 periods o            Restatements of assets under works, ie: 

-          Restatement of released assets for work (realised on N and N-1 years)

-          Restatement of deliveries of assets under works (realised on N and N-1 years).

„       Like-for-like change in value 

This indicator is used to compare asset values from one financial year to the next without accounting for changes in scope: acquisitions, disposals, developments including the vacating and delivery of properties.

The like-for-like change presented in portfolio tables is a variation taking into account CAPEX works done on the existing portfolio. The restated like-for-like change in value of this work is cited in the comments section. The current scope includes all portfolio assets.

Restatement done: 

o      Deconsolidation of acquisitions and disposals realised over the period o Restatement of work realised on assets under development during period N
