PR Newswire/Les Echos/ Paris, 15 November, 2010, 6:00 pm Quarterly information at 30 September 2010 5% DROP IN RENTS ON LIKE-FOR-LIKE BASIS 1) CONSOLIDATED REVENUE (NINE MONTHS) (EURm) 01/01/2009 01/01/2010 CHANGE 30/09/2009 30/09/2010 Rental income 58.4 52.9 -9.4% Re-invoiced charges and other 21.3 10.2 -52.4% Total revenue investment properties 79.7 63.0 -20.9% Finance lease 16.7 14.2 -14.8% Property development 0.9 -0.2 N.M. Other(1) 8.4 1.0 N.M. Total consolidated revenue 105.7 78.1 -26.1% (1) Financial and exceptional income and business centre activities (in 2009) On a like-for-like basis, rents decreased by 5.2%, primarily due to the impact of lease cancellations and renegotiations in 2009. After taking account of the net impact on rents resulting from disposals and acquisitions (-EUR1.9m) and the refurbishment at Banimmo of two buildings temporarily freed from their occupants (-EUR1.2m), rents amounted to EUR52.9m, down by 9.4% compared to the first nine months of 2009. The sharp decline in re-invoiced charges can be explained by the integration in 2009 of the major works on the Sirius building performed by Banimmo for Mobistar, and readjustments to reflect the settlement of Affine's 2007 and 2008 charges. As a result, the revenue for Investment properties was down 20.9% to EUR63.0m in the first nine months. The other items reflect the strategy to refocus on the property business with a further decline of the revenue from finance lease activities (-EUR2.5m), a marginal contribution from the development activity, and the disposal of equity investments in BFI and Altaréa which had accounted for a total revenue of EUR7.4m in the first nine months of 2009. Overall, revenue for the Affine Group decreased by 26.1% to EUR78.1m. Investment properties In the third quarter, eleven new leases were signed and three were renewed, representing total annual rent of EUR3.4m. However, eight tenants accounting for total rent of EUR1.2m on an annualized basis, gave notice of their departure. Affine continued to streamline its portfolio with the disposal of mature and small-sized properties. Accordingly, during the quarter, Affine and AffiParis sold a minority equity investment in a shopping centre at Val d'Yerres, and two office buildings in the Paris region at Goussainville and Croissy Beaubourg for a total amount of EUR5.8m. These transactions were completed at prices consistent with the appraisals at the end of June 2010. Finance lease The finance lease activity recorded nine exercised options during the third quarter of 2010. Revenues continued to fall due to the amortization of portfolio transactions and the low production of deals. Property development There were no disposals during the period. However, with the signing of a 17,700 sqm lease for the logistics platform in Hem (59), Concerto Developpement completed the letting of sites jointly held with MGPA in the Logiffine joint venture. 2) SIGNIFICANT EVENTS No significant event occurred during this quarter. 3) FINANCIAL POSITION AT 30 SEPTEMBER 2010 There were no significant changes to the Group's financial structure compared to 30 June 2009. 4) OUTLOOK The occupancy rate stabilized at its June level (88.4%) and may improve in the next few months. This outlook, combined with a dynamic marketing policy, could help to reverse the downward trend of rents recorded during the first nine months. 5) SCHEDULE - February 2011: 2010 annual results CONSOLIDATED REVENUE (THREE MONTHS) (EURm) 01/07/2009 01/07/2010 CHANGE (%) 30/09/2009 30/09/2010 Rental income 18.4 16.8 -8.9% Re-invoiced charges and other 10.4 4.8 -54.1% Total revenue investment properties 28.9 21.6 -25.3% Finance lease 5.7 6.0 5.4% Property development 1.1 0.0 N.M.
