Quarterly information as at 31 March 2015
TEMPORARY DECREASE OF RENTS
1) CONSOLIDATED REVENUE (THREE MONTHS)
(EURm) Q1 2014 Q1 2015 Change
Gross rental income 11.1 10.2 -8.1%
On a like-for-like basis, gross rental income declined by 5.2% over the course
of the first three months of 2015 compared to the same period the previous year,
owing mainly to the departure of two major tenants in Tremblay-en-France and
Mer. Taking into account the vacancy resulting from the restructuring in
progress of the Tangram building in Lyon, rents shrank by 8.1%, the impact of
sales otherwise being offset by acquisitions.
2) ACTIVITY
In the first quarter, 14 new leases were signed and 11 were renewed,
contributing to a total annual rent of EUR2.0m. Furthermore, 17 tenants which
ended their leases, accounted for total annual rents of EUR2.6m.
There were no sales du ring the quarter.
3) FINANCIAL SITUATION
The Group's financial structure has not significantly changed compared to
31 December 2014. Since the beginning of the year, Affine has signed
refinancing agreements totalling close to EUR30m.
4) OUTLOOK
The Group continues its balanced development strategy between the greater Paris
area and the six main regional cities in a fiercely competitive environment.
This policy of selective investment, based on the Group's profitability and risk
criteria and which in certain cases is implemented in partnerships, aims to
restore rents to the volume of previous years while at the same time maintaining
LTV at a prudent level. Investments will remain consistent with the Group's
disposal policy.
5) AGENDA
* 30 April 2015: Annual General Meeting
* 8 May 2015: Dividend payment (EUR1.0)
* 29 July 2015: 2015 Half-year revenues and earnings
* 21 October 2015: Third quarter revenues
