Sales by quarter

In million of euros 2012/2013 2011/2012 Var (%)
First quarter (01.04 - 30.06)   5.1 6.2 -17.7%
Three-months total         5.1 6.2 -17.7%

First quarter consolidated sales (?5.1m) breakdown is as follows:

  • Rental income amounted to ?2.7m and were down 51.8% compared to the same period of the Financial Year 2011/2012. This is due to the ongoing renovation projects of Imagine and NEWTIME buildings; 

  • Service charges invoiced to the tenants amounted to ?2.4m (?0.6m for the first quarter of Financial Year 2011/2012). The increase of invoiced service charges accounted for in the profit and loss statement is the consequence of the internalisation of Paris area investment properties' property management. Under this new organisation, invoices that were previously directly booked in the balance sheet of the Company, are now booked in its profit and loss. 

The occupancy rate of the operating investment properties stood at 86.5% compared to 31 March 2012.

"1st quarter activity is fully in line with announcements made during the annual results presentation and shareholders general meeting. Without any surprise, the Group is carrying on the restructuration of the Île de la Jatte buildings. NEWTIME's restructuration is well on track with the structure work already on its way. The Group expects similar quarters for the remaining of the 2012/2013 Financial Year, with a gradual improvement following new tenants arrivals in buildings Imagine in Paris and Le Danica in Lyon." commented Pierre Essig, CEO of Züblin Immobilière France.
