ANF Immobilier (Paris:ANF):
2014 first half results
Revenues for the first half of 2014 amounted to €19.2
million, a 12% increase compared with the first half of 2013, and a
14% increase on the scope adjusted for disposals. Portfolio income
derived from retail leases accounted for 34%, offices for 29%,
residential premises for 19% and hotels for 14%. The remainder of
rental income is derived from car parks and other surfaces.
EBITDA grew by 12% to €12.8 million, thanks primarily to
an increase of 12% of gross rental income and stable operating
costs. The EBITDA margin of 67% was up 5 percentage points
compared with end-2013.
Cash flow amounted to €6.5 million, or €0.35 per
share.
The negative net consolidated income of €13.7 million
takes into account the impact of the fair value measurement of
contributory assets in the negative amount of €18.5 million. This
variation is attributable chiefly to the 11% discount observed on
the sale of blocks 15, 18 and 23 in Marseille, as well as the
decline of approximately 5% in the price of existing housing units
in Marseille and to the increase in registering fees of 0.7%.
The appraisal value established by two independent
appraisers has now exceeded a billion euros at €1,004 million
excluding rights. It breaks down as €684 million for Marseille,
€202 million for Lyon, €37 million for Bordeaux and €81 million for
hotel property.
The Loan-To-Value ratio was 42.2% at June 30, 2014. The
Company was largely compliant with its bank covenants (LTV and
ICR). After the refinancing completed in May this year, the average
cost of debt was 3.6%, with an increase in the overall coverage
from 66% to 87%. ANF Immobilier has €96.6 million of undrawn credit
facilities and cash of €40.1 million.
At June 30, 2014, triple net Net Asset Value totaled
€28.9 per share, according to the EPRA method.
Acceleration of
acquisitions
ANF Immobilier continues to pursue the strategic plan it laid
out in early 2013, aimed at doubling rental income by 2017. In the
last six months, investments have accelerated sharply. ANF
Immobilier has identified and secured 111% of its €240 million
acquisition program in the form of iconic investments thanks to its
acknowledged positioning as a major player at the regional
level:
In Lyon, ANF Immobilier, associated with DCB International,
completed a major dual real estate project with a total developed
area on completion of 38,000 sq.m. of office space:
- The development of the new headquarters
of the Adecco France Group includes 13,000 sq.m. of office space,
scheduled for delivery in the third quarter of 2016. The building
has been fully leased off plan for a fixed term of nine years. The
project is located opposite the future headquarters of Alstom
Transport in the Carré de Soie precinct, in a mixed commercial,
residential and tertiary environment. The future complex will enjoy
excellent road access and visibility from the tram line.
- The acquisition and restructuring of
the former headquarters of the Adecco France Group will result in
the construction of a 25,000 sq.m. office complex. The current
building, built in 1987, has a surface of 8,700 sq.m., and offers
significant residual constructability. Located opposite the Parc de
la Tête d’Or, it is in the heart of the Tonkin business district, a
few minutes from the Part-Dieu train station.
In Bordeaux, ANF Immobilier and Vinci Immobilier have signed
agreements with the Euratlantique public development establishment
to develop a mixed complex in the Armagnac precinct in Bordeaux,
with a total area of 46,000 sq.m.
Ideally located, close to the future LGV high-speed train
station, the Armagnac precinct real estate program, located on the
Saint-Jean Belcier joint development zone, has an area of
approximately 46,000 sq.m. The project includes three office
buildings (each about 10,000 sq.m.), two hotels (more than 7,000
sq.m.), shops on the ground floor (nearly 3,000 sq.m.), housing
(106 units covering more than 6,000 sq.m.) and nearly 500 parking
spaces. The two hotels, rated 3 and 4 stars, offer approximately
119 and 110 rooms respectively. Under the terms of the project, ANF
Immobilier will retain ownership of the 3-star hotel and two office
buildings covering a total of 20,000 sq.m., one of which could be
leased to GDF Suez. This major project, which is scheduled for
delivery in 2017, is an opportunity for ANF Immobilier to
consolidate its position in Bordeaux.
Confirmation of the validity of the
strategy
Hotel spin-off: creation of ANF Immobilier Hotels
In partnership with Eurazeo and Caisse d’Epargne
Provence-Alpes-Corse, ANF Immobilier has spun off ANF Immobilier
Hotels, a subsidiary intended to house the property of hotels owned
by the real estate company ANF Immobilier, and whose assets will
amount to more than €90 million by the end of 2017. The company is
owned by ANF Immobilier (51%), Eurazeo (34%) and CEPAC (15%). At
end-June 2014, ANF Immobilier sold most of its hotel assets to this
subsidiary at prices strictly in line with appraised values. This
sale was 50% financed by partner equity and 50% through a mortgage
obtained by the subsidiary from CEPAC. The new credit facility will
allow the development of two hotels located in Marseille-Velodrome
and the hotel in Bordeaux-Bègles. ANF Immobilier is the majority
shareholder and manages the subsidiary’s assets. The net proceeds
of €36 million will go towards funding growth and the acquisition
pipeline.
Disposal of €34 million of housing in Marseille – 47% of
disposal program completed
47% or €100 million of the disposal program initiated in 2013
had been completed at end-June 2014, compared with 24% at
end-2013.
This significant progress stems chiefly from the signing of a
promise for the sale of blocks 15, 18, 23 in Marseille,
representing 216 housing units or 18,000 sq.m. to renovate. These
assets are located in the central part of the Rue de la République
(section 2), where ANF Immobilier is not the sole contractor and
cannot carry out full rehabilitation programs as it did in the
first section of the Rue de la République adjacent to the Vieux
Port.
ANF Immobilier has renovated nearly 40,000 sq.m. of facades and
completed a program of premium housing and retail units, attracting
major retailers such as H&M, Monoprix, McDonald’s and
Starbucks. The renovation has contributed to the transformation of
the street wanted by the city council and has boosted its
attractiveness.
The 11% discount on disposal of the three blocks is attributable
to the volume of non-renovated assets included in the transaction
and the decline in the market value of residential assets in
Marseille. The disposal reduced the exposure of ANF Immobilier to
residential property in Marseille by nearly 20% and its housing
vacancy rate in the same city by 30%. The sale proceeds will be
reinvested in acquisitions offering a rental yield above 7.5%, in
line with the Company’s strategy.
Refinancing of €400 million
ANF Immobilier has acquired the means to achieve its strategy by
completing financing of €400 million in May this year obtained from
four partner banks, Natixis, CMSB, BNPP and CACIB. The new loan of
€400 million is similar to a mortgage, with a maturity of seven
years. It is consistent with the expansion strategy established in
early 2013. This new financial organization gives the Company
attractive financial characteristics and real flexibility in
arranging future funding. The estimated cost of debt in 2014 is
3.5%. At 42.2%, ANF Immobilier's debt ratio remains very prudent in
view of its obligations. ANF Immobilier is strengthening its
resilience in a rapidly changing economic environment.
Outlook
The deployment of the 2013-2017 strategic plan will bring annual
rental income to around €67 million.
ANF Immobilier will continue to invest in regional provincial
cities like Lyon, Bordeaux and Marseille, where it is already
present, without ruling out the possibility of expanding into other
targeted areas, with the aim of establishing a lasting presence
there. Acquisitions will mainly relate to tertiary sector assets
(offices, retail premises or hotels).
The €240 million acquisition plan for the 2013-2017 period has
already been secured up to 111%, and supplemented by investments of
€170 million in renovations and projects underway in Marseille and
Lyon. At the same time, the Company is continuing its disposal
policy in the amount of more than €238 million, notably in
housing.
