COSTRUIRE IL FUTURO
"Il Gruppo conclude il 2009 con una solida crescita degli utili,in linea con le proiezioni, a dispetto di una situazione economica negativa.
The limited impact of the crisis on these results is primarily due to the high quality of the underlying asset base. In addition, the Unibail-Rodamco teams played a key role through their unrelenting efforts to turn each of the Group's assets into a place that makes a difference in the eyes of both tenants and visitors."
Guillaume Poitrinal, CEO and Chairman of the Management Board
Resilient operational performance in the economic downturn
Recurring Earnings per share grew in line with expectation to E9.19/share, a 7.1% increase over 2008, as a consequence of growth in rental income and contained cost of debt. The Group is in a position to maintain its high distribution (87% of recurring net earnings), and will propose a E8.00/share distribution, to be paid in full on May 10, 2010.
Net rental income growth reflecting the resilience of prime assets
The number of visits to the Group's centres was stable, while retailers saw a drop in sales with 1.9%. However, there were few tenant defaults with hardly an increase in vacancy (1.9% at year-end versus 1.8% at year end 2008). The shopping centre sector has continued to show a positive net rental income growth of 6.1%, with 3.9% like for like growth (due to indexation, low vacancies and minimum guaranteed rents uplifts of 21% on relettings and renewals).
The office sector net rental income contracted with 4.2% as a result of divestments, while its like for like performance showed a 9.1% increase, due to successful leasing activity and favourable indexation.
Decreasing Net Asset Value
During the year, the Net Asset Value per share decreased by 15.2% to E128.20. This was almost entirely due to property yield expansion, and mostly concentrated on the first half of the year. During the second half, the property markets saw a recovery of interest from investors and the appraised asset values have been stabilising.
Good access to funding throughout the financial crisis
The Group relied on a variety of funding sources throughout the year, raising E2.1Bn from bank, convertible bond and bond markets and E0.7Bn of additional liquidity from disposals. The Loan to Value ratio stood at a solid 32% at year-end 2009, in spite of the 9.8% like for like decrease in Gross Market Value of the portfolio.
A positive medium to long term outlook
While 2010 starts with tangible signs of recovery, it will be a year of transition, with low or even negative indexation, the impact from divestments achieved in 2009, and limited deliveries of new assets in 2010. Against this backdrop, the Group gives a recurring earnings per share growth outlook for 2010 of 0% to 2%. Beyond 2010, the Group expects to see renewed momentum for growth based on the growing appeal of its large centres and the delivery of projects from the E5.6 billion development pipeline. With a conservative Loan to Value ratio and significant available funds, the Group is ideally positioned to seize the best acquisition opportunities, as proven by the recently announced acquisition of the Simon Ivanhoe asset portfolio in Poland and France.
