H1 2025 business review Despite macroeconomic and geopolitical uncertainties, the Banque de France expects French household purchasing power to increase by 0.5% in 2025, backed by a resilient job market (with unemployment expected to remain at 7.6%) and a continued decline in inflation ( 1% expected this year). According to Procos (Federation for the Promotion of Specialised Retail), sales in physical stores also rose by 1.4% year-on-year between January and APRIL GROUP and, according to an AEW study, are expected to increase by 3% over the year. The commercial real estate sector also has good momentum. According to a CBRE study, €1.7 billion of transactions were recorded in the first half of the year, representing a 60% increase compared to the same period in 2024 and a 30% market share of total commercial real estate investment volumes. More specifically, the shop format, i.e. units of less than 600 sqm, alone accounted for more than 75% of the volumes invested last year in commercial real estate. Generally speaking, the era of “retail bashing” seems to be over, and the increased appeal of Paris following the Olympic Games and the reopening of Notre Dame Cathedral has led to a significant return of international tourists. Paris airports welcomed 103.4million passengers last year, an increase of 3.7% compared to 2023—particularly from the United States and Asia, which is helping to boost footfall in the capital's main shopping streets. These encouraging indicators are complemented by several powerful trends providing grounds for confidence in the future of local shops in the city centres of major metropolitan areas: the population's enduring attachment to these shops, urbanisation, the arrival of new international brands and the ability of many brands to adapt to changing consumer habits, as demonstrated in particular by the advent of phygital technology and the development of concept stores. In this environment, SELECTIRENTE is once again seeing the relevance of its business model and continuing to pursue its investment strategy with selectivity and rigour, focusing on local city-centre retail assets located in major cities mainly in Paris, which are set to benefit most from these structural changes. Bolstered by its strong financial structure, SELECTIRENTE still boasts robust long-term fundamentals:
The Company once again demonstrated its resilience, recording a high average financial occupancy rate of 94.7% over the past twelve months (95.9% over the Q2 2025) and appraisal values excluding transfer duties up 1.5%, on a like-for-like basis. The rent collection rate for the 1st half of 2025 stood at 91.1% as of June 30, 2025, compared to 94% at end-2024 ; this collection rate has since increased to nearly 93% to date. The decrease in the first half of 2025 is explained by the rise, starting in the second quarter of 2025, in insolvency proceedings involving certain independent tenants, reflecting the corporate defaults recorded in France. H1 2025 operating activity Investments during H1 2025 Thanks to its solid financial position, SELECTIRENTE has continued to pursue a rigorous, selective and opportunistic investment policy. During the first half of 2025, the Company made the following acquisitions:
In addition, as of 30 June 2025, SELECTIRENTE is committed to acquire a store located near the Annecy (74) train station and a portfolio of stores located in Paris and in the inner suburbs of Paris, for a total of €8.9m including transfer taxes and fees. Strategic disposals During the 1st half, SELECTIRENTE continued to pursue its objective of strategic portfolio refocusing with the sale of eight retail properties located in Lyon (69), Albertville (73), Saint-Chamond (42), Levallois-Perret (92), Vaulx-en-Velin (69), Bidart (64), Le Raincy (93) and Maisons-Alfort (94), for a total net selling price of €12m, on average 32% above the latest appraised values known prior to the commitment to sell; these sales generated a capital gain of €6.6m (€1.60/share) As at 30 June 2025, the Company was also committed to the sale of two vacant assets located in Saint-Quentin (02) and Corbeil-Essonnes (91), for a total net selling price of €1.4m. Rental activity: rents up by 3.9% on a like-for-like basis SELECTIRENTE's rental income amounted to €15.2m in the 1st half of 2025 and are stable compared to those of the first half of 2024. On a like-for-like, rents alone rose by 3.9%. This positive trend results from offsetting effects: upward from rent indexation ( 3.5%) and re-lettings, lease renewals and business disposals ( 3.3%) and, on the downward from vacancies (-1.2%) and insolvency proceedings (court-ordered liquidations) (-1.7%).
During this 1st half of the year, rental management actions (re-lettings, renewals and disposals with lease transfers) involved 27 retail premises (vs 23 in H1 2024). These actions, carried out on the French portfolio, involved 26 assets and enabled new rents to be secured (€1,057 thousand on an annual basis), resulting in an overall decrease in rents of -2.5%, mainly concentrated on three shops in Toulouse (31), Rouen (76) and Paris (10th arrondissement) (and an increase of 5.4% outside these locations). Lastly, a shop left vacant for several years in Belgium was re-let at market rental value (€28 thousand/year). Growth in the financial occupancy rate to 95.9% The financial occupancy rate remains high, standing at 94.7% on average over the last 12 months, up compared with that recorded in 2024 (94.1%). For just the second quarter of 2025 alone, this financial occupancy rate performed well at 95.9%, compared with 95.2% in the previous quarter. H1 2025 financial performance Strong increase in IFRS net result Condensed statement of comprehensive income under IFRS
IFRS net result is up sharply, demonstrating the solidity of the Company's operating and investment model. This sharp increase is mainly due to the re-letting of vacant assets, and therefore the reduction in non-refillable expenses, the growth in the market value of SELECTIRENTE's property portfolio and its slightly higher net financial income (expense). Recurring net result and recurring net cash flow decreased by -13% and -12% respectively, mainly due to the increase in the cost of debt and the temporary decrease in income from the indirect real estate portfolio.
In accordance with the recommendations of the European Public Real Estate Association (EPRA), of which SELECTIRENTE is a member, the Company publishes the main performance indicators designed to promote transparency and comparability in the net financial income (expense) of listed real estate companies in Europe. NTA net asset value per share (Net Tangible Assets Value) under EPRA standards stood at €88.82 at 30 June 2025, stable compared to end-2024, when it stood at €88.88, despite the payment of the dividend for financial year 2024 in June 2025. Portfolio's valuation 1.5% increase in real estate valuations on a like-for-like basis At 30 June 2025, SELECTIRENTE's revalued portfolio stood at €578m[1] excluding transfer duties, compared to €576m at end-2024. At 30 June 2025, given the quality of its locations, the Company's direct real estate portfolio continued to grow in terms of valuation. Thus, these appraisal values grew 1.5% on a like-for-like basis over the past six months (and following a 1.6% during 2024). In detail, the values of city-centre shops, which account for over 85% of the overall portfolio on a like-for-like basis, grew by 1.4%, as did the value of the city-centre offices (that represents around 15% of the overall portfolio), which rose by 1.9% on a like-for-like basis, while the value of peripheral units (0.2% of the overall portfolio) remained stable on a like-for-like basis. Geographically, these appraisal values also recorded strong growth in Paris and the Paris region at 2.2%(which represents more than 73% of the overall portfolio), while the trend was stable in major French cities. Assets located in Belgium, representing less than 0.6% of the overall portfolio, posted a slight decline in value of -0.3%. At the end of June 2025, the average yield from these appraisals (including transfer duties) was 5.1% across the entire portfolio, virtually unchanged compared with end-2024. This yield also stood at 5.2% for city-centre shops (including an average of 4.8% for Parisian premises, but ranging from 2.9% and 6.0%, and 5.8% in the Paris region), at 4.8% for offices and 8.5% for peripheral retail A directly held real estate portfolio comprising 85% city-centre shops and 63% assets located in Paris The value of SELECTIRENTE's direct real estate portfolio, comprising 392 assets with a total surface area of over 89,100 sqm and 509 leases, stood at €551.1m (excluding transfer duties) at end-June 2025. This portfolio, mainly consisting of city-centre retail premises in Paris and the Paris region, breaks down as follows:
A solid financial structure During the first half of 2025 and in line with the management of its financial debt, SELECTIRENTE maintained a solid financial structure and used €7m of its available RCF (Revolving Credit Facility). As a result, at 30 June 2025, SELECTIRENTE's bank financing amounted to €206m under IFRS (vs. €204m at end-2024) and was characterised by:
General meeting of the shareholders of 27 May 2025 All the resolutions submitted to the General Meeting of the Shareholders on 27 May 2025 were approved by the shareholders and the dividend of €4.10 per share for the 2024 financial year (an increase of 2.5% compared to the 2023 financial year) was paid on 12 June 2025. Events after the reporting period Additional investments committed Since July 1st, SELECTIRENTE is engaged in the acquisition of two portfolios of high-quality retail properties located in Paris and the Paris region for a total amount of €10.3m including fees. As of the date of publication of this press release, the Company's acquisition commitments amounted to €19.2m including fees.
Liabilities Since July 1st, SELECTIRENTE repaid a part of the RCF taken out in July 2024. Thus, the amount of the RCF undrawn to date stands at €26m, giving the Company an equivalent investment capacity, before refinancing. Outlook While macroeconomic and geopolitical uncertainties are likely to continue to impact economic activity and financial markets, SELECTIRENTE intends to (1) continue to seize any acquisition opportunities that may arise in the current economic environment, (2) keep its level of debt under control at around 40% maximum and (3) continue its disposal policy aimed at strategically refocusing its portfolio. The Company, with the intention of creating long-term value, will continue its commitment to dynamic and sustainable lease management of its portfolio, all while strengthening its presence in major French cities, Paris and the Paris region. 2025 financial calendar
