Like-for-like rental income growth reflecting the improvement in occupancy rates across all the asset classes and the gradual return of indexation
Offices: positive rental trends confirmed
Improvement in the average financial occupancy rate by +110bp and positive reversion of +13%
Since the start of the year, Gecina let, relet or renegotiated more than 57,000 sq.m, representing almost €41m of headline rent. This strong upturn is in line with the trend observed since the second quarter of 2021 in most of the markets that Gecina operates on where the vacancy rate has dropped significantly (notably to 2.8% in the CBD according to BNP RE).
- More than two thirds of the transactions concern relettings or renewals of leases, primarily at the heart of Paris City. Overall, the average reversion captured came to +13% for the first half of this year, driven by the strong level of reversion secured in the central sectors, including +26% in Paris City
- Nearly one third of these new transactions concern new leases on vacant buildings or buildings under development:
- These latest transactions, on buildings delivered recently or scheduled for delivery shortly (157 Charles de Gaulle in Neuilly-sur-Seine, Boétie in Paris' CBD) or buildings that have been renovated (Horizons, Boulogne), will help further strengthen visibility over the Group's rental income growth as assets are delivered and work is completed as expected over the coming half-year periods.
- The pre-letting rate for the development project pipeline is up from 67% at end-2021 to 85% for the same asset scope, with the 157 Charles de Gaulle building in Neuilly, delivered during the first half of this year, 85% let (vs. 0% at end-2021). Gecina also pre-let nearly 80% of the Boétie building in Paris' Central Business District during the first half of the year (delivery scheduled for the first half of 2023).
- For new or redeveloped buildings, the superior quality of Gecina's assets, its teams and its service-driven strategy YouFirst enable it to outperform in the submarkets. The rents obtained exceeded the Group's initial expectations and are in line with or even higher than the prime rents observed to date for these areas. This performance confirms the growing appetite among businesses for Office real estate in the Paris Region's central areas where levels of available supply are limited.
Iconic transactions confirming the good level of rental markets
Among the latest rental transactions secured since the start of 2022, some major operations confirm the very good performance by high-quality buildings in the most central markets.
In the Paris CBD, the Group has secured several rental transactions for offices at around €950/sq.m/year.
For instance, the Group secured the pre-letting of around 80% of the "Boétie" building to the Eight Advisory Group in February 2022, for 7,800 sq.m.
More recently, at the start of July, Gecina signed a firm 10-year lease, also based on current prime rents, with a tenant from the luxury industry, for all of the "64 Lisbonne" building (7,850 sq.m), anticipating the departure of the tenant currently in place and making it possible to capture significant reversion.
In Paris' Central Business District, other negotiations are currently underway based on rents of over €950/sq.m.
In Neuilly-sur-Seine, 85% of the 157 CDG building, delivered during the first half of this year, has been let to the SPIE group and to a pharmaceutical group. These transactions confirm that the prime rental values in Neuilly-sur-Seine are now up to nearly €650 to €700/sq.m/year.
Lastly, in Boulogne-Billancourt, Gecina has let nearly 5,000 sq.m to the Michelin and Futurmaster groups in the Horizons Maison Haute building, which was subject to a renovation program. The rents secured on this building, which was delivered in 2011, are in line with market rents for new redeveloped buildings in this area.
91% of Gecina's letting challenges for spaces that are vacant or under development concern buildings located in Paris City, Neuilly-sur-Seine and Boulogne-Billancourt. These challenges are concentrated in the sectors with the most positive trends, benefiting from the polarization of the markets supporting areas of centrality and scarcity. As a result, in these three sectors, the theoretical timeframe to clear the stock of vacant space is less than one year.
Change in gross rental income for offices
Gross rental income Offices | Jun 30, 2021 | Jun 30, 2022 | Change (%) | |
In million euros | Current basis | Like-for-like | ||
Offices | 250.7 | 245.0 | -2.3% | +2.7% |
Central areas (Paris, Neuilly, Southern Loop) | 179.6 | 179.6 | +0.0% | +2.5% |

- Paris CBD 5-6-7 Offices | 71.0 | 71.7 | +1.0% | +0.5% |
- Paris CBD 5-6-7- Retail | 19.0 | 16.7 | -12.2% | +5.3% |
Paris Other | 53.4 | 55.2 | +3.3% | +3.7% |
Core Western Crescent (Neuilly/Levallois, Southern Loop) | 36.1 | 36.0 | -0.3% | +3.6% |
La Défense | 27.8 | 30.7 | +10.7% | +9.1% |
Other locations (Peri-Défense, Inner Outer Rims and Other regions) | 43.4 | 34.7 | -20.0% | -1.6% |
Western Crescent La Défense (as reported previously) | 80.8 | 83.8 | +3.7% | +5.2% |
Like-for-like office rental income growth came to +2.7% year-on-year, benefiting for +1.8% from an improvement in the occupancy rate across our buildings, reflecting the robust commercial performance levels achieved since the second quarter of 2021, as well as a positive indexation effect, which is modest to date (+0.8%) and will ramp up over the coming quarters, passing on with a delayed effect the return of an inflationary context.
In the most central sectors (84% of Gecina's office portfolio) in Paris City, Neuilly-Levallois and Boulogne-Issy, like-for-like rental income growth came to +2.5%, benefiting from:
- an improvement in the occupancy rate (+1%)
- a positive level of indexation (+0.9%), which will become stronger over the coming quarters
- and other effects driven primarily by positive reversion (+0.6%)
On the La Défense market(8% of the Group's office portfolio), Gecina's rental income is up +9.1% like-for-like, factoring in the impact of a significant increase in the occupancy rate for the Group's buildings, resulting from the major transactions secured recently on buildings that were previously vacant (Carré Michelet, Adamas), with indexation and reversion having only a very marginal impact on this sector.
The -2.3% contraction on a current basis is linked primarily to the asset disposals completed in 2021, including the sales of the Les Portes d'Arcueil (Arcueil), Louise Michel (Levallois) and Orion (Montreuil) buildings in the third quarter of 2021. For reference, these buildings were sold at prices that were +9% higher than their latest appraisals.
In 2021, Gecina had signed a lease on the 101 Champs-Elysées building, extending the rental commitment with the tenant in place. This transaction was subject to various conditions precedent, which were not satisfied before the agreement's deadline. As a result, the rental conditions that apply today are identical to those that were in place before this pre-agreement was signed.
Lastly, note that the pipeline's contribution to rental income growth (contribution from deliveries net of transfers to the pipeline) is now positive, with around €2.4m for the first half of the year, benefiting from the leases signed recently for the Anthos (Boulogne), 157 Charles de Gaulle (Neuilly) and Sunside (La Défense) buildings.
Residential: strong upturn in rental activity, with reversion potential confirmed and a start to the 2022 academic year that looks set to be significantly higher than the start of the 2019 academic year (before the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic)
YouFirst Residence (traditional residential):acceleration in operational performance levels confirmed
Like-for-like, rental income from traditional residential properties is up +1.6%
This performance takes into account a level of indexation that is starting to be passed on (+1.1%) and the impact of positive reversion (+0.6%) on the apartments relet, with the rent for new tenants around +8% higher than levels for the previous tenants on average since the start of the year
On a current basis, rental income is up +0.8%, reflecting the impact of the small number of sales completed during the first half of the year.
YouFirst Campus (student residences): strong upturn in activity
Rental income from student residences shows strong growth, with +19% like-for-like and +25% on a current basis, reflecting the improving environment since the third quarter of 2021
This performance is linked primarily to the rebound of the occupancy rate for residences (contributing +13.2%), as well as the significant reversion captured (contributing +4.7%), while the indexation effect represents +1.1%.
Financial occupancy rate: positive momentum (+110bp over six months)
Average financial occupancy rate | Jun 30, 2021 | Sep 30, 2021 | Dec 31, 2021 | Mar 31, 2022 | Jun 30, 2022 |
Offices | 91.4% | 91.0% | 90.7% | 91.1% | 91.8% |
Traditional residential | 96.7% | 96.6% | 96.8% | 96.9% | 96.8% |
Student residences | 74.4% | 72.8% | 79.0% | 92.6% | 86.3% |
Group total | 91.6% | 91.2% | 91.2% | 92.0% | 92.3% |
The Group's average financial occupancy rate is at a high level, with 92.3%, up +110bp over six months, reflecting the benefits of the strong upturn in rental transactions since the second quarter of 2021.
The spot rate at end-June is higher than the average rate (92.8%), indicating a trend that continued to improve during the first half of the year.
For the office scope, the average financial occupancy rate is up +110bp to 91.8%. The spot rate at end-June 2022 was 93.1%, up from just 90.8% at end-December 2021, illustrating the robust trend for lettings during the first half of 2022.
This rate does not take into account recent lettings on which the leases have not yet come into effect. These spaces are therefore considered to be vacant even though they are covered by a signed lease that is due to take effect during the second half of the year. If these spaces that have already been let are included as occupied units (notably Carré Michelet in La Défense), the normative occupancy rate represents 94.4%, once again highlighting the positive market trends.
For traditional residential, the average financial occupancy rate for the first half of 2022 is stable over six months and year-on-year, highlighting this portfolio's rental resilience.
For the student residences scope, the average financial occupancy rate shows a significant increase over six months (+7.3pts), illustrating the strong upturn in activity following a 2020-21 academic year that was greatly disrupted by the consequences of the pandemic.
Recurrent net income: upturn taking shape

(1) EBITDA excluding IFRIC 21 after deducting net financial expenses, recurrent tax and minority interests, including income from associates and restated for certain non-recurring items.
Recurrent net income (Group share) came to €2.73 per share (-0.7%), with an increase of +3.9% excluding the impact of the sales carried out in 2021 and the non-recurring income received during the first quarter of 2021.
Like-for-like rental performance: +€8m
This change takes into account the increase in the occupancy rate, the first effects of the acceleration in indexation and the positive rental reversion secured.
Portfolio rotation: -€10m net change in rental income
This change reflects the impact of the portfolio rotation carried out in 2021 for almost €512m, focused on various office buildings located outside of Paris (Arcueil, Levallois, Montreuil, Boulogne and Antony). For reference, these buildings were sold with a premium of around +9% versus the latest appraisal values.
Operations relating to the pipeline (deliveries and redevelopments): +€2.4m net change in rental income
The change in recurrent net income (Group share) benefited from a positive net effect for operations relating to the pipeline, with the impact of building deliveries now higher than the temporary effects of the assets made unavailable for rent with a view to being redeveloped.
- The additional rental income generated by the recent deliveries of buildings under development represents +€3.7m (with the delivery of the Anthos building in Boulogne, Sunside in La Défense and Ynov in Ivry in 2021, and 157 CDG in Neuilly in 2022).
- Alongside this, the space made unavailable for rent in buildings to be redeveloped had an impact of just -€1.3m on first-half rental income.
It is important to note that during the second half of the year this positive effect is expected to be confirmed:
- Gecina will benefit from rental income linked in particular to the delivery of the l1ve building (Paris CBD) and the ramping up of the 157 CDG building in Neuilly-sur-Seine, which was delivered during the first half of the year.
- A new building "32 Marbeuf" in Paris' CBD will also be redeveloped following the departure of its tenant at the end of June, making it possible to create a unique asset in Paris' Golden Triangle.
Rental margin stable
Group | Offices | Residential | Student | |
Rental margin at Jun 30, 2021 | 90.2% | 92.5% | 82.5% | 69.4% |
Rental margin at Jun 30, 2022 | 90.1% | 92.1% | 82.6% | 82.1% |
Financial expenses down -11%: -€4.8m change
Financial expenses are down -€4.8m, linked mainly to a volume effect following the disposal of the Les Portes d'Arcueil building during the second half of 2021, with the average cost of debt stable at 1.2%.
Balance sheet and financial structure: adapted for an uncertain environment

In the last few years, Gecina has continued to optimize, further strengthen and extend its financial structure. Alongside this, the Group has ramped up the alignment of its financing with its strong CSR convictions and strategy, setting up new responsible credit lines and requalifying all of its outstanding bonds as Green Bonds.
The Group's financial structure is now particularly adapted for a context that calls for a cautious approach.
In terms of liquidity, Gecina has €4.7bn of liquidity, including €4.6bn of undrawn credit lines. After deducting short-term financing from this amount, net liquidity represents €3.3bn, significantly higher than our financial policy for a minimum of €2.0bn, making it possible to cover the bond maturities through to 20273
Specifically, all of the bond maturities for the next two years have already been refinanced through long-term bond issues carried out mid-2021 and early 2022, with an average coupon of 0.875% and an average maturity of 13 years.
In terms of the sensitivity of the Group's average cost of debt, Gecina's rate hedging policy stands out through the long maturity of its hedging instruments (7.2 years), making it possible to sustainably protect the average cost of debt.
In 2022-2024, rates are therefore hedged for nearly 90%. The Group's hedging policy is also aligned with a longer timeframe, with 75% of debt hedged on average through to the end of 2028
With the yield curve forecast for the second half of 2022, the total average cost of debt is expected to be 1.2% for the full year in 2022.
Average cost of the Group's debt stable overall
The Group has confirmed its sound balance sheet positions, while maintaining a historically low cost of debt, with 0.9% for drawn debt and 1.2% for the total cost of debt, similar to the levels reported at end-2021.
LTV reduced
At end-June 2022, Gecina had a loan to value ratio (LTV) of 31.9% including duties (33.8% excluding duties), down -1.5pts year-on-year, benefiting primarily from the disposals completed in the last 12 months, the increase in the portfolio's value like-for-like and the value created on the assets under development.
The ICR represents 5.5x (vs. 5.4x one year ago), with a secured debt ratio of 0.0%, giving Gecina significant headroom in relation to its bank covenants.
Project pipeline: €2.9bn portfolio of outstanding quality projects underway or to potentially be launched shortly
With a committed pipeline of around €1.9bn and a controlled and certain pipeline that could be launched over the coming years, the Group is expected to benefit from a strong leverage effect on rental income growth between 2022 and 2026.
€1.9bn of committed projects (deliveries for 2022-2025)
The vast majority of the projects under development are concentrated in the most central sectors, with 94% of the committed pipeline for offices located in Paris City
Nearly 28% of the committed pipeline is now made up of residential assets.
During the second half of 2022, Gecina is notably launching a very ambitious new redevelopment project: "32 Marbeuf" in Paris' Golden Triangle, which is scheduled for delivery in early 2025 and will offer 13,000 sq.m, in line with the best environmental certifications, and a number of outdoor spaces.
In total, 18 projects are currently committed to and will be delivered between 2022 and 2025, representing a total investment of around €600m to be paid out over the coming years.
With an expected yield on cost of 5.2% for offices and 4.8% overall, this committed pipeline represents a potential additional rental income volume of around €91m, which will be achieved gradually between 2022 and 2025 as the various assets are delivered.
Major lettings since the start of 2022 concerning the scope for developments or assets delivered recently
Based on the committed scope at end-2021, the pre-letting rate for the committed pipeline is up +18pts from 67% to 85% for the buildings scheduled for delivery in 2022-2023, with the letting of 85% of the 157 CDG building in Neuilly (delivered during the first half of the year), based on rents in line with or even above leading prime market levels. Nearly 80% of the space in the Boétie building was also pre-let during the first half of the year.
At end-June, €584m were still to be invested on committed projects, with €165m by end-2022, €261m in 2023, and €158m in 2024-2025.
€1.0bn of "controlled and certain" projects to potentially be launched over the coming half-year periods (deliveries in 2024-2026)
The pipeline of operations "to be committed", i.e. "controlled and certain", groups together the assets held by Gecina that are currently being vacated and for which a redevelopment project aligned with Gecina's investment criteria has been identified.
This pipeline includes eight projects, with five offices, nearly 90% of which are located in Paris or Neuilly, that will be able to be committed to once the administrative authorizations have been obtained and they have been vacated by their current tenants.
All of these projects are subject to regular reviews in line with market developments, and the final launch decision can be taken by Gecina up until the effective redevelopment start date.
0.8bn of "likely" controlled projects over the longer term (possible deliveries in 2024-2027)
The "likely" controlled pipeline covers the projects identified and owned by Gecina for which tenant departures are not yet certain. The identification of these projects upstream is making it possible to achieve a potential yield on cost of around 5.2% with a portfolio of potential projects concentrated primarily in Paris City (c.90%). These projects will be launched as decided by Gecina in line with real estate market developments.

The portfolio value (block) came to €20.6bn, up +1.3% like-for-like since the start of the year. This increase benefited from good trends for both offices and residential.
The like-for-like portfolio value growth for the first half of the year is linked exclusively to a positive "rent" effect on Offices. In the residential sector, this effect accounts for two thirds of the increase in value for the first half of the year.
Offices: value growth in central sectors
On a like-for-like basis, for the office portfolio, the dominance of the most central sectors can be clearly seen once again. The value of the total office portfolio is up +1.4% over six months overall, with +3.6% for the Central Business District. In total, for the central sectors, i.e. Paris and the Core Western Crescent, the office portfolio shows a like-for-like increase of +2.2% compared with December 2021, significantly outperforming the peripheral areas.
Traditional residential: values up by nearly +0.5% over six months
For the traditional residential portfolio, the valuation retained is up +0.5% like-for-like. This increase has been driven by trends on the market for vacant properties, as well as the rollout of Gecina's new strategy on this asset class, with its first value creation effects (more ambitious investment plans and rental reversion).
Student residences: values up +3.3% over the first half of the year
For the YouFirst Campus student residences, value growth came to +3.3% like-for-like. The positive trend for the value of the student portfolio over the first half of 2022 reflects the ramping up of residence occupancy levels.
NAV: EPRA Net Tangible Assets (NTA) up +3% over six months to €181.2 per share, with an EPRA Net Reinstatement Value (NRV) of €198.9 per share
EPRA Net Tangible Assets(NTA) represent €181.2 per share (+3% over six months, +5% year-on-year) and €188.6 per share based on unit values for residential.
The EPRA Net Reinstatement Value (NRV) came to €198.9 per share (+3% over six months, +5% year-on-year).
The EPRA Net Disposal Value (NDV) was €187.9 per share (+9% over six months, +12% year-on-year).
This change benefited from like-for-like portfolio value growth, as well as the impacts of Gecina's total return strategy, particularly through the growth in value achieved for the portfolio under development, which came to +€204m for the first half of the year.
The change in EPRA Net Tangible Assets (NTA) per share came to +€4.8 over six months, with the following breakdown:
Dividend paid in H1 2022: | -€2.7 |
Recurrent net income: | +€2.7 |
Like-for-like value adjustment on assets: | +€2.5 |
Net value increase for pipeline and recent deliveries: | +€2.7 |
Net capital gains from sales completed or under preliminary agreements: | +€0.1 |
Other (including IFRS 16): | -€0.5 |
Capital rotation: disposals, acquisitions, investments
€139m of sales completed under preliminary agreements €134m of investments
€106m of sales completed during the year, achieving a premium of around +8.0% versus the end-2021 values, and €33m of additional sales covered by preliminary agreements
This sales volume mainly includes the sale of the Being building in La Défense, two small buildings in Paris during the first half of the year, and nearly €6m of vacant unit-based residential sales, achieving a premium of around +18% compared with the latest values from end-2021.
At end-June 2022, €33m of sales were also covered by preliminary agreements, concerning residential properties.
These sales aim to further strengthen the centrality of Gecina's portfolio, while maintaining an LTV at levels giving the Group financial flexibility.
€134m of investments made, primarily on development projects
70% of the €134m of investments were paid out during the first half of 2022 for the development pipeline or projects delivered during the year.
The balance corresponds to investments to improve the residential and commercial portfolio, helping capture the reversion potential identified.
On May 20, 2022, Gecina acquired 20.1% of the OPCI fund Euler, making it possible to increase our interest from 19.9% to 40% for €55m. This structure holds the asset located at 1-3 rue Euler in Paris' Central Business District.
Outlook and guidance: 2022 recurrent net income per share target raised to €5.55
The results published for the first half of 2022 reflect the good level of rental markets, the increase in both rental values and occupancy rates for assets, and the gradual upturn in indexation. Moreover, the pipeline's positive contribution, with major building deliveries scheduled over the year, further strengthens Gecina's confidence for the coming years.
For the first half of this year, Gecina's operational performance levels exceeded the Group's initial expectations on markets that once again show positive trends. However, these encouraging signs stand out in a context of rising interest rates, confirming Gecina's precautionary management of its balance sheet.
In a context that therefore requires a cautious approach, Gecina is raising its recurrent net income (Group share) target to €5.55 per share4 for 2022 (vs. €5.50 previously), with this growth now expected to reach +4.3%, or +7% excluding the contribution in 2021 of the buildings sold and a non-recurring effect received during the first half of 2021.

2.3 Annualized gross rental income
Annualized rental income corresponds to the effective rental position on the reporting date. As such, it does not take into consideration lettings or properties vacated, or sales or acquisitions of buildings that would not have an impact by the reporting date.
Annualized rental income is stable for the first half of 2022 (+€2m) versus December 31, 2021, with the good like-for-like performance offset primarily by the departure of tenants from buildings transferred to the pipeline (mainly 32 rue Marbeuf).
€16m of this annualized rental income came from assets intended to be vacated over the coming years for redevelopment, including €4m for the buildings to be freed up and transferred to the pipeline in 2022.
This rental income also includes €3.4m for a building that will be subject to long-term renovation work (nearly one year) and was vacated by its tenant at the start of July.

3.5 Hedging portfolio
€m |
The following chart presents the profile of the hedging portfolio:
3.6 Interest rate risk measurement
Gecina's expected net nominal debt for the second half of 2022 is hedged for up to 90% against an increase in interest rates (based on observed Euribor rate levels, due to caps).
Based on the existing hedging portfolio, the contractual conditions and the existing debt at June 30, 2022, a 50 basis point increase in the interest rate yield curve compared with June 30, 2022 would generate an additional financial expense of €2m in 2022. A 50 basis point decrease in the interest rate yield curve would reduce financial expenses by €3m in 2022.
