Eric Duval, Managing Director and Founder of Patrimoine & Commerce declared: « The sound results for fiscal year 2021, thanks to a dynamic leasing activity and a high collection rate on rents, confirm the attractiveness of the Group's development model as the leader of low-cost retail park market players in France. The quality of our portfolio, aligned with current consumption trends, and the robust financial structure, allow to deliver long-term growth to our shareholders. »

 

2021 was affected again by the sanitary crisis of Covid-19

The 2021 financial year, particularly during the first half, was once again affected by the sanitary crisis and the restrictive measures enforced by the government to tackle the Covid-19 pandemic. These restrictive measures ran from February 1, 2021, to June 9, 2021.

The first quarter of 2021 saw the introduction of curfews and administrative closures of retail stores considered as « non-essential ». Starting on February 1, 2021, the administrative closures of shopping malls operating more than 20,000 sqm represented 7% of the rents of the company. The closures that started on March 21, 2021, in the most affected departments represented close to 20% of rents.

During the second quarter, from April 4 to May 19, 2021, our tenants were heavily impacted by administrative closures throughout France. Nearly 70% of the rents were affected by those measures that came on top of the curfews. From May 19 to June 9, 2021, all retail stores were allowed to open again, in compliance with health gauges and curfews. From June 30, 2021, all limitations have been lifted. The reopening was accompanied by a strong recovery in footfall.

Patrimoine & Commerce is constantly discussing with its tenants in order to accompany and to support them in this crisis. In fact, in addition to the ?5.4 million in rent abatements already negotiated in 2020, the company granted nearly ?0.6 million in additional rent abatements in 2021 (100% recognized as a cost during the financial year 2021).

 

Operational performance

The retail park model proved its performance and alignment with current trends in consumption. Besides core strengths of the model (human-sized stores, easy car parking, limited service charges, adapted rents), retail parks stand out with an activity not very dependent on tourism, focused on local consumption, open spaces and high attractivity for discount stores.

In this uncertain economic context, Patrimoine & Commerce had a sustained leasing activity and signed 109 leases (of which 60 renewals). The financial occupancy rate stood at 93% (5) on the portfolio. The collection rate on rents and service charges invoiced in 2021 stands at 97% (6), close to 100% excluding lockdown periods.

 

Financial performance

In 2021, Patrimoine & Commerce continued to deliver a solid financial performance.

For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, Patrimoine & Commerce reported consolidated gross rental income of ? 43.7m, against ? 45.8m for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020:

The decrease of gross rental income is mainly explained by (i) the effect of restructuring operations, mainly on a property in Martinique (ii) the impact of disposals, partly offset by (iii) acquisitions of 2021. Contractual indexation reached +0.5% for the whole portfolio.

 

Net rental income remained stable in 2021 compared to 2020, as a percentage of gross rental income (93% in 2021 vs. 94% in 2020), mainly composed of unrecovered rental expenses and provisions for credit losses:

Operating expenses and other revenues remained under control at ? 4.5m (vs. ? 4.3m in 2020).

 

Net cost of debt amounted to ? 9.4m in 2021, up by +4.0% compared to last year. The Company was able to take advantage of the low interest rate environment. The average interest rate on debt is 2.04% for the 12 months ending December 31, 2021 (versus 2.15% in 2020), the increase in financial expenses derives from the full-year effect of renegotiated terms on finance leases negotiated in 2020.

 

Recurring net result (FFO) amounted to ? 26.7m in 2021, compared to ? 30.1m in 2020:

The external appraisal valuation campaign resulted in a fair value adjustment of +? 2.5m in 2021, reflecting the resilience of the portfolio in this crisis context.

 

Including the share of the result of companies accounted for using the equity method (+? 0.9m) and the fair value adjustment on financial instruments (+? 1.1m), the net profit amounted to              ? 31.2m for the fiscal year 2021 and ? 31.5m in group share, increasing by +77.2% compared to last year.

 

Decrease of the LTV ratio and increase of the NAV per share at ? 26.7 (+2.8%)

The Group consolidated restated net debt of ? 358.4m as of December 31, 2021, implies a Loan-to-Value ratio of 45.2%, leaving a significant investment capacity compared to the target of 50% set by Patrimoine & Commerce.

Over 2021, Patrimoine & Commerce continued its development through the delivery of several projects in Échirolles (Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes), Annemasse (Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes), Limoges (Nouvelle-Aquitaine) and Wittenheim (Grand Est) and through the acquisition of an additional retail property in Échirolles (Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes), currently in refurbishment.

Patrimoine & Commerce also completed the disposal of several assets in Saint-Gaudens (Occitanie), Pont-de-Beauvoisin (Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes), Creusot (Bourgogne-Franche-Comté), Perpignan (Occitanie), Frouard (Grand Est) as well as in Guadeloupe for a total consideration of ? 16.3m, in line with external appraisers' valuations.

 

 

Dividend payment of ? 1.25 per share

The distribution of a dividend of ? 1.25 per share, with an option for the payment in additional shares, will be proposed to the Annual General Meeting of Patrimoine & Commerce.
