Mercialys: Footfall up +3.7% at End-September

2025 Targets, Revised Upward in July, Confirmed

PARIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Regulatory News:

Mercialys (Paris:MERY):

• Outperformance in terms of footfall¹ (+3.7% vs. +0.8% for the national panel) and tenant sales² (+2.5% vs. +0.4% for the national panel).

The portfolio’s realignment around the Shopping Park segment, characterized by a diverse selection of 60 to 130 stores and optimal customer comfort (enclosed and air-conditioned center, adapted food offering, extensive free parking) as well as low and optimized operating costs, once again shows its relevance.
In a French economic context marked by political instability, this model, which offers attractive retailers to consumers at accessible prices, has continued to benefit from favorable trends. At end-September, footfall is up +3.7% based on a comparable number of days, i.e. 290bp above the national panel. This dynamic performance is also reflected in robust sales growth for the Company’s tenants, up +2.5% at end-August, outperforming the national panel by 210bp.

• New identity for sites with the launch of a transversal brand SHOP•PARK

As it marks its 20th anniversary, Mercialys has unveiled SHOP•PARK, the new commercial identity for its sites. Building on an in-depth evolution of its portfolio toward the Shopping Park segment, Mercialys will rapidly roll out this new brand across its assets, through interior and exterior fittings that are systematically focused on serving tenants and enhancing customer comfort.
The Nîmes site, which is currently being renovated, will be the first in the portfolio to adopt this new identity. It will be followed by the Besançon and Brest sites, whose large-scale restructuring will lead to the opening of a Leclerc store before the end of the year, the first step forward with the deployment of new attractive retail anchors.

• +2.6% organic growth in invoiced rents and +1.9% positive reversion over nine months

Invoiced rents came to Euro 134.2 million over nine months, up +2.6% like-for-like. This positive trend is supported by a very high current occupancy rate of 97.0% at end-September.
Rental activity has continued to show positive trends, with reversion on new leases reaching +1.9%.

• Confirmation of 2025 targets, revised upward in July

Business at end-September enables Mercialys to confirm its full-year targets for net recurrent earnings (NRE) per share of Euro 1.24 to Euro 1.27 (target revised upward in July vs. previous range of Euro 1.22 to Euro 1.25) and a dividend of at least Euro 1.0 per share for 2025.
