Sustained leasing momentum in central locations

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

Gecina (Paris:GFC):

| Key takeaways

  • Rental income of €176.0m in Q1 2026 with like‑for‑like growth of +2.3%, outperforming indexation (+1.3%), with rental uplift and high occupancy.

Strong average rental uplift of +18% (including a sustained +28% in Paris CBD) reflecting strong demand for prime central assets (90% of leasing in Paris/Neuilly) and the successful roll-out of fully managed offices.
  • Future cash-flow growth secured with no additional debt: €199m of disposals completed (3.5% yield) and a further €50m secured (2.2% yield), to fund €265m of development capex in 2026 with >10% expected returns (yield on capex invested).
  • ESG leadership confirmed with the MSCI ESG rating upgraded to AAA (from AA) and CDP A-List status.
  • 2026 guidance confirmed, with recurrent net income (Group share) of €6.70–€6.75 per share.

| Beñat Ortega, CEO:

In a rapidly evolving market, tenants are making long‑term strategic decisions, particularly when selecting new headquarters. Our priority is to deliver best‑in‑class products tailored to a wide range of client needs. We have a healthy pipeline of active tenant discussions across all our prime, fully amenitized central projects, expected to drive future earnings growth. At the same time, we continue to execute a disciplined capital allocation strategy, leveraging all available value‑creation options, while maintaining a resilient and future‑proof balance sheet”.

Rental income up +2.3% (like-for-like)

  • Like-for-like rental income up +2.3% in Q1 2026, outperforming the decelerating level of indexation in France (+1.3%), with additional organic growth drivers (rental uplift and occupancy). Organic growth reached +1.5% for offices and +7.5% for residential.
  • Current-basis rental income down 2.2% (€176.0m), mainly reflecting the active residential portfolio rotation in 2025 (-€7.3m), including 18 student housing assets and mature traditional residential assets (Sibuet, Py, Bel Air, Belvédère C) alongside the roll-out of unit-by-unit disposal programs. This impact was partly offset by organic growth (+€3.6m), contributions from 2025 office deliveries (Icône & 27 Canal: €5.5m) and recent office acquisitions (Hôtel Particulier & Bloom: €3.4m), mitigating the impact of the upcoming transitions of assets vacated in H1 2025 (Malakoff & Colombes) which, as previously disclosed, are under feasibility studies for their full or partial conversion for residential or other uses and were already excluded from annualized rents since end‑2025.
  • Occupancy remains high at 93.5%, continuing to outperform broader market trends, despite a temporary increase in vacancy in transitioning markets (Southern Loop), where interest is still sustained for the right products but decision‑making cycles have lengthened.

Leasing activity: solid Q1

  • c.23,000 sq.m let, securing €18.0m of annual rent (20 leases signed, 7‑year average term), primarily in Paris/Neuilly (90%), with 38% relating to renewals, supporting occupancy ahead of upcoming lease maturities. Demand still concentrated on prime, central assets, with 300+ visits year-to-date and active discussions across pipeline projects.
  • Rental uplift remains strong at +18% on average, driven by Paris/Neuilly, with +28% in Paris CBD, fully in line with previous quarters, and c.10% above market rents.
  • Landmark 6,600 sq.m lease on Signature with the global real estate expert JLL (9‑year firm), marking the start of leasing on developments and confirming the appeal of next‑generation office products. Including ongoing discussions, close to 60% of the asset is now secured.
  • Continued outperformance for fully managed offices: 2,000 sq.m signed in Q1 2026 with +59% rental uplift; 16,000 sq.m now deployed in total, now representing c.€16m of annual rent.
  • Strong residential leasing momentum: 335 leases signed (+12% vs. Q1 2025), validating the strength of the operated housing platform and diversified offering.

Disciplined portfolio rotation continued

  • €199m of disposals completed with a 3.5% yield, mainly comprising three mature residential assets (Lourmel, Dumas, Bagnolet) alongside unit‑by‑unit disposals.
  • Further €50m secured in Q1 2026 at a 2.2% yield.
  • Proceeds to fund €265m of development capex in 2026 across four major projects (Signature / Rocher-Vienne, Quarter, Les Arches du Carreau, Mirabeau) with double‑digit expected yield on the capex invested, alongside the repositioning of T1 Tower, on schedule with works starting before the summer.
  • This illustrates the Group’s disciplined value‑creation strategy aimed at optimizing shareholder returns through its systematic assessment of all capital allocation options (development, acquisitions, partnerships and, where relevant, share repurchases) while preserving a resilient and future‑proof leverage profile.

Guidance confirmed

  • 2026 guidance confirmed, with recurrent net income (Group share) of €6.70–€6.75 per share

  • Offices: high occupancy maintained, particularly in central areas where our exposure is the highest (Paris/Neuilly: 96.6%, broadly flat vs Q4 2025); temporary vacancy increase in transitioning markets (Southern Loop), where interest is still sustained for the right products but decision‑making cycles have lengthened; impact of the maturation of leases in H1 2025 for Malakoff and Colombes, on two assets now under feasibility studies for their full or partial conversion for residential or other uses and already excluded from annualized rents since end‑2025.
  • Housing: strong increase in occupancy due to the successful diversification of the offering and the rollout of operated housing (furnished, serviced apartments).
