With an exceptional 17% increase in rental income (8%
increase on a like-for-like basis), SFL (Paris:FLY)
demonstrates the effectiveness of its strategy, which
focuses on continuously enhancing the architecture, technical
characteristics and environmental performance of its properties. In
addition to the growth in rental income, the portfolio's EPRA
vacancy rate stands at an extremely modest 0.6%.

Consolidated rental income for the first nine months of 2022
amounted to €151.7 million, up by a sharp €21.7 million
or 16.7% from the €130.0 million reported for the same period
of 2021. The increase breaks down as follows:
- €9.3 million in like-for-like growth (i.e., excluding
all changes in the portfolio affecting period-on-period
comparisons), or 7.8%, buoyed by higher rental income from
the Edouard VII, 103 Grenelle and Washington Plaza properties,
particularly on new lettings. Index-linked rent increases also
contributed in an amount of approximately €1.3 million (1.1%).
- €5.6m in rental income from spaces being redeveloped or
renovated in the periods concerned, mainly following delivery in
second-half 2021 of the 83 Marceau building, which is fully
occupied.
- €6.8m relating to the acquisition of the Pasteur
building in April 2022, which generated a significant increase in
rental income, partially offset by the disposal of the 112 Wagram
and 9 Percier buildings at the beginning of 2021.
SFL is reaping the full benefits of
both its strategy focused on prime property and the current
momentum in the Paris rental market. Rental activity was brisk
during the period despite a 99% occupancy rate, with 36,000 sq.m.
let in the year to September 2022:
Dimitri Boulte, SFL's Chief Executive Officer, commented:
“Despite challenging geopolitical and economic conditions, the
market for commercial property rentals in the Paris region is
becoming increasingly polarized, as companies opt for high-value
added properties located in central Paris. In this environment,
SFL’s strategy is paying off – our performance indicators are sound
across the board, demonstrating the effectiveness of our business
model despite ongoing uncertainty.”
The upturn in the central Paris rental market observed since
late 2021 has led to some notable commercial successes for SFL –
particularly for high-quality properties in prime locations – for
example at Biome.
In the first nine months, SFL signed leases on nearly 36,000
sq.m. of space with an average nominal rent of €704 per
sq.m., an average non-cancellable term of 8.2 years and
an incentive rate of around 17%. These figures attest to the
strength of the Paris market and the resilience of SFL’s business
model. Lease deals include:
- Biome, with the complex’s 22,000 sq.m. of office
space pre-let to La Banque Postale and SFIL;
- 103 Grenelle, with three new leases signed with Atalante,
Promontoria MMB and Netgem on a total of 3,400 sq.m.;
- Edouard VII, with leases signed on 2,700 sq.m., including one
on a 1,700 sq.m. retail unit with Fabriques de Styles;
- 176 Charles de Gaulle in Neuilly, with leases signed on 1,900
sq.m., including one on a 1,200 sq.m. retail unit with Ovelo
Cycles.
At 30 September 2022, the occupancy rate for revenue-generating
properties stood at a record high of 99.5% (up from 98.0% at
31 December 2021). The EPRA vacancy rate was 0.6% (versus
1.7% at 31 December 2021).
Following the acquisition of the Pasteur building (approximately
40,000 sq.m. located in Paris’ 15th arrondissement) for €484
million including transfer costs and the sale of the Le Vaisseau
property (approximately 6,300 sq.m. located in Issy-les-Moulineaux)
for €27 million excluding transfer costs in the first half of 2022,
SFL did not carry out any other acquisitions or disposals in the
third quarter.
Financing: a very reasonable
loan-to-value ratio
SFL’s consolidated net debt stood at €2,473 million at 30
September 2022, compared with €1,792 million at 31 December 2021,
representing a loan-to-value ratio of 27.7% based on the
portfolio’s appraisal value at 30 June 2022. The average cost of
debt after hedging was 1.2% and the average maturity was
4.1 years. At end-September 2022, the interest coverage
ratio stood at 5.9x.
In addition, SFL had €940 million in undrawn lines of credit at
30 September 2022.
