Key figures:
Eric Duval, Managing Director and Founder of Patrimoine & Commerce declared: « Patrimoine & Commerce achieved good results over the first six months of 2022, on the operational side as well as on the financial side. This strong performance comes from the quality of the portfolio and our robust financial structure. The selective acquisitions made over the first half of 2022 will consolidate the position of Patrimoine & Commerce as the leader of low-cost retail park market players in France and contribute to the sustainable growth for our shareholders. »
Operational performance Over the first half of 2022, Patrimoine & Commerce had a sustained leasing activity and signed 21 leases (of which 8 renewals). The financial occupancy rate improved at 94% (4). The collection rate on rents, service charges and taxes stands at 98% on the first quarter of 2022 and 97% on the second quarter (5).
Financial performance Over the first half of 2022, Patrimoine & Commerce continued to deliver a solid financial performance. As of June 30, 2022, Patrimoine & Commerce reported gross rents of € 23.0m, against € 21.7m as of June 30, 2021:
The increase of gross rental income is mainly driven by acquisitions and disposals completed over 2021 and 2022 (+€ 0.6m), as well as contractual indexation, and the decrease in the amortization of Covid-19 rent free periods.
Net rental income is increasing by +6.6% between 2021 and 2022, with the gross to net ratio slightly improving (92% of gross rental income in 2022 vs. 91% in 2021), mainly composed of unrecovered rental expenses and provisions for credit losses:
Operating expenses and other revenues remained under control at € 2.7m (vs. € 2.5m in 2021). Current operational result reached € 18.4m as of June 30, 2022.
Net cost of debt amounted to € 4.4m as of June 30, 2022, decreasing by -1.9% compared to June 30, 2021. The Company has a low exposure to interest rate risk with 72% of fixed or variable rate debt hedged. The average interest rate on debt of 1.97% over the first half of 2022 (against 2.04% for the same period in 2021).
Recurring net result (FFO) amounted to € 14.1m as of June 30, 2022, against € 12.9m as of June 30, 2021:
The external appraisal valuation campaign resulted in a fair value adjustment of +€ 12.3m in the 2022 half-year accounts, reflecting mainly the indexation of rents.
Including the share of the result of companies accounted for using the equity method (+€ 0.5m) and the fair value adjustment on financial instruments (+€ 1.6m), the net profit amounted to € 28.1m as of June 30, 2022 and € 28.4m in group share, increasing by +96.9% compared to last year.
Decrease of the LTV ratio and increase of the NAV per share at € 27.3 (+2.3%) The Group consolidated restated net debt of € 376.5m as of June 30, 2022, implies a Loan-to-Value ratio of 44.9%, leaving a significant investment capacity compared to the target of 50% set by Patrimoine & Commerce.
Besides, Patrimoine & Commerce enacted the extension of the €30.0m bond subscribed by Suravenir (initial terms of September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2023 respectively postponed to September 30, 2025 and September 30, 2026).
Net asset value per share amounted to € 27.3 (€ 409.0m) as of June 30, 2022, an increase of +2.3% versus 2021, despite the distribution of the dividend relative to 2021 fiscal year.

Those investments totalled € 53.6m in 2022. Other investments were made on the existing portfolio, for a global amount of € 3.9m.
Patrimoine & Commerce also completed the disposal of several assets in Epagny (Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes), Vitrolles (Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur), Sarreguemines (Grand Est), and an office property in Guadeloupe for a total consideration of € 21.3m, in line with external appraisers’ valuations.
