ANNOUNCES H1 2024 RESULTS WITH INCREASED GUIDANCE
Luxembourg, August 14, 2024 – Grand City Properties S.A. (“GCP” or the “Company”) announces financial results for the first half of 2024 with net rental income amounting to €212 million, higher by 3% as compared to the €204 million recorded in the comparable period of 2023. This is primarily the result of like-for-like growth of 3.4% as of June 2024, driven by in-place rent growth. Supported by a higher operational efficiency, Adjusted EBITDA is up 4% year-over-year at the €166 million. FFO I is stable at €94 million as well as on a per share basis of €0.54 compared to H1 2023 as the negative impact of the higher perpetual notes attribution was offset by strong operational growth while finance expenses remained stable. Based on the strong results and improved outlook GCP increased its FFO I guidance from €175-€185 million to €180-€190 million. The Company conducted a full revaluation of the portfolio in the first six months of 2024, resulting in a like-for-like value decline of 2%. GCP recorded property revaluation and capital losses in the amount of €198 million in H1 2024. This is primarily explained by slight yield expansion, partially offset by operational growth. The negative revaluation recorded in the period was a third as compared to H1 2023, indicating a significantly softer devaluation momentum as a result of improved market dynamics and signalling a potential stabilisation in valuations. In the first half of 2024, the Company signed disposals totalling ca. €220 million of which ca €100 million were not closed in H1 2024. In this period, €160 million of disposals were completed, including properties signed in 2023. The closed disposals were primarily located in London, as well as NRW, Berlin and Hessen, and were closed at a slight discount to book value. The Company raised €100 million of new bank debt and redeemed bonds amounting to ca. €270 million in this period. As of June 2024, GCP’s average cost of debt was 1.9% with an average maturity of 5.1 years. In April 2024 the Company executed its perpetual exchange, which was highly successful with an acceptance rate of over 80%, resulting in €2 million in annualised coupon reduction and recovery of equity content for exchanged notes under S&P methodology. After the reporting period, GCP continued the pro-active management of its debt maturities and issued a new unsecured bond of €500 million, which was more than 7x oversubscribed, channelling the proceeds into a bond tender through which ca. €240 million nominal outstanding amount of bonds were bought back. As a result of these activities, and including expected proceeds of signed disposals, the Company now covers all its debt maturities until the end of 2027. The conservative financial profile of the Company is further shown by its low LTV ratio of 37%, stable compared to year-end 2023 despite devaluations. Refael Zamir, CEO of Grand City Properties: "We are happy to report our results for the first half of 2024. Positive market momentum allows us to continue to drive strong operational growth. At the same time, we have been able to mitigate the negative impacts from the higher interest rate environment through pro-active management of our balance sheet and interest exposure, supporting our increased guidance and positioning GCP well for future growth.” Financial statements for H1 2024 are available on the Company's website: For definitions of the alternative performance measures please see the relevant section in the pages 32-36 of the financial statements for H1 2024, which you can find on the website under investor relations > publications > financial reports or follow this link:
