Key highlights |
FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
Positive LfL rental growth of +2.7% YoY, evidencing the strength of our portfolio
FFO per share of € 0.29, affected by Covid -19 incentives (€ 0.06 per share) and assets sold (€ 0.02 per share), otherwise it would show growth when compared to 6M19
Valuations flat vs Dec-19, with offices and logistics on the positive territory while retail down by 4.7%
Debt management resulting in LTV on par with Dec-19 (40.4%). Average maturity extended 6 months to 6.5 years and no floating rate risk
OPERATING PERFORMANCE
LfL growth in all asset categories, combined with sound release spread
Leasing activity has continued at a good pace during Covid-19, with 150,000 sqm signed in offices in the second quarter. Retail has seen modest activity (ca 6,200 sqm signed) and logistics advancing, with ca 45,000 sqm signed. Leases generally signed above ERV
Occupancy resilience, standing today (94%) where it was at the end of the first quarter. The high adoption rate of our Covid-19 commercial policy (which included an extension of contracts beyond 2021) plus the extension of the Endesa lease, provides greater visibility on future rents
VALUE CREATION
Landmark. Several significant leases signed in the period, in Castellana 85 and Monumental with rents at the same level as the pre-lets negotiated before Covid-19 outbreak. Both projects achieve very compelling returns (yield on cost of 8.3% and 9.4%, respectively). Total secured future rents for Landmark of € 13.3m commencing in 2021
Flagship. Works have progressed on pace in Saler and Porto Pi
Best II & III. 2 projects delivered in Seville and pre-lets signed for Madrid-San Fernando II and Zaragoza-Plaza II. Total secured future rents for Best II & III of € 6.3m commencing in 2021
