• The strategy of focusing on Offices in Paris CBD is demonstrably working: renewed double-digit increase of EPRA NAV (+11.5 %)

• Liquidation EPRA NAV: € 57 per share (+11.5 %)
• Parisian offices rental revenues: € 63.3m (+5.0 %)
• Revalued portfolio: € 2,193m (+4.9 %)
• 98% of portfolio within Paris
• LTV: 32 % (-4 pts)
• 2018 dividend: € 1.20 per share

TERREÏS Board of Directors, held on February 12, 2019, has approved the consolidated financial statements for the 2018 fiscal year. Auditors have carried out a limited review of the interim financial statements. Their report is about to be issued. 2018 figures are characterized notably by a further double digit progress of EPRA NAV (+11.5 %) and an improvement of the financial structure (LTV 32 %).

Commenting on these results, Jacky Lorenzetti, President of TERREÏS, declared : « All through 2018, TERREÏS pursued its strategy of concentrating its portfolio on prime office units in Paris. This strategy, which prioritises asset optimisation, facilitates rental and assures a high occupancy rate. TERREÏS thus is able to take advantage of a significant rise in rents, at the time of leases renewal and when relocations follow departure of tenants, while benefitting from positive indexations.

TERREÏS business model once again demonstrates its solid and highly defensive profile. In particular, the fixed-rate debt structure, with a remaining life over 10 years and mainly made of mortgaged-redeemable loans, provides relative protection in case of any increase in interest rates. »

• Asset portfolio : € 2.2Bn, 98 % located in Paris ; EPRA NAV: € 57/share, +11.5 %

At December 31, 2018, the appraisal value of the TERREÏS portfolio stands at € 2,193 million, up € 103 million (+4.9 %) compared to the end of 2017. On a constant basis, assets revaluation generated € 139 million in additional value (+6.3 %), including € 9 million of works to optimise the portfolio. It largely offsets the impact of the € 36 million of residential assets disposals (appraisal value).

A the end of 2018, TERREÏS portfolio was made up of 98 % of Parisian assets.

At 31 December 2018, EPRA NAV (liquidation) stands at € 57 per share, up 11.5 % on 2017. Replacement NAV stands at € 63.35 per share (+10.8 % over 2017).

This increase reflects and validates the strategy of focusing on Paris CBD office assets, as well as the mechanical effect of annual repayment of redeemable loans, a key element of TERREÏS business model.

• Reinforced financial structure: LTV ratio at 32 % (- 4pts)
