business park and public-private partnerships have been included in "Other
assets". All comparative information has been restated for these
reclassifications (pro forma data for 2018).
Analysis of leasing activity in Q1 2019:
The Office Property Investment Division reported gross rental income of EUR92
million.
- On a like-for-like basis, the Office Property Investment Division
recorded a +2.7% increase in income, including +2.9% for offices and
+2.7% for business parks, buoyed by vibrant leasing activity and a rent
escalation rate of 2.0%;
- On a reported basis, rental income dipped EUR7.0 million (-7.0%) due to
asset disposals carried out in H2 2018 (it is recalled that rental
income related to assets sold in 2018 represented EUR37 million on an
annual basis).
48 leases were signed or renewed for nearly 82,946 sq.m as leasing activity
remained strong:
- 17 leases were renewed during the quarter ended, representing a total area
of 54,652 sq.m, total annual headline rental income of EUR12.3 million and
a weighted average unexpired lease term of 7.1 years.
- New leases signed during the quarter ended totalled 28,294 sq.m, with
annualised headline rental income of EUR5.7 million and a weighted average
unexpired lease term of 6.4 years.
Tenant departures during the period stood at 69,941 sq.m (including
31,353 sq.m
on a like-for-like basis).
As of March 31, 2019, the financial occupancy rate stood at 91.4%, a 0.7 pp
decrease on a like-for-like basis (2.0 pps on a reported basis) compared to
December 31, 2018. This drop is primarily due to completion of an asset
currently being offered for lease.
The average unexpired lease term stood at 5.0 years, an increase of 0.3 years
compared to December 31, 2018, due in part to leases renewed during the
quarter.

2.1 Residential Property Development
Following a record-breaking 2018 in terms of sales and construction starts,
Residential Property Development revenue amounted to EUR125.7 million for the
quarter, down 13.3% compared to March 31, 2018. This decrease, in line with
forecasts, is due to the time lag between the moment sales are signed and
revenue is recognised (percentage of completion method).
Net new housing orders were down by 31.8% in volume terms, bringing the total
to 847 units. This fall is attributable to a lower absorption rate (7.8% in Q1
2019 vs. 9.0% in Q1 2018) and fewer properties put on the market than in Q1
2018 (645 units in Q1 2019 vs. 1,397 units in Q1 2018). The period required to
obtain government permits has also increased in the run-up to elections.
In value terms, the decrease in potential revenue from housing orders was less
pronounced (16.5%) due to a favourable price effect (average budget per
housing unit of EUR233.4k in Q1 2019 vs. EUR190.3k in Q1 2018).
The Residential Property Development backlog was up 4.9% compared to
December 31, 2018 and theland portfolio continued to grow: as of
March 31, 2019, the lan=d portfolio amounted to 11,762 units compared to
11,638 units at December 31, 2018, representing potential revenue including
tax of EUR2.5 billion.
The outlook for Residential Property Development is therefore positive over
the time horizon of Icade's medium-term plan.
2.2 Office Property Development
At the end of March 2019, the Property Development Division completed the
Sky-Line II project in Toulouse. This 4,692-sq.m building was sold to the City
of Toulouse and is fully leased by some of the City's departments.
The revenue of the Office Property Development business reached EUR33.7
million, sharply down compared to Q1 2018 (EUR81.9 million) but in line with
our forecasts.
At the end of March 2019, the backlog of the Office, Public Amenities and
Healthcare Development business amounted to EUR192.3 million, down by 5.3%
compared to December 31, 2018. This drop results from the progress of ongoing
projects (especially an office building in the Carré de Soie district of
Vaulx-en-Velin, the Latécoère building in Toulouse and an office building in
Villejuif).
The lower revenue recorded in Q1 2019 is due to the completion of numerous
projects in 2018 (over 150,000 sq.m including 9 major completions in 2018).
The major contracts won in 2018 (and Q1 2019) will translate into significant
revenue generation starting in 2020.
2.3 Contracts awarded in 2019: new attractive opportunities
- "Inventing Bruneseau - Nouvel R Project", France's first low-carbon
neighbourhood
In Mar 2019, a consortium of developers made up of AG Real Estate, Icade, Les
Nouveaux Constructeurs and Nexity, was selected as the winner of the
"Inventing Bruneseau" call for projects organised by the City of Paris and
SEMAPA.
"Nouvel R" involves carrying out a project covering close to 100,000 sq.m
(25,000 sq.m offices, 50,000 sq.m housing and 20,000 sq.m shops and business
premises) designed to create a real link between Paris and Ivry-sur-Seine.
The carbon footprint of this ambitious project is expected to be five times
lower than the average in Paris, making Bruneseau France's first low- carbon
neighbourhood.
- Îlot K in Bordeaux
Icade Promotion was selected by the urban planner Bordeaux-Euratlantique to
carry out a mixed-use project near the Saint-Jean train station.
The project will include a 450-space multi-storey car park (around 10,000
sq.m), 64 residential units (5,000 sq.m) and 350 sq.m of shops. The
project's distinctive features include a mainly wood-based structure and a car
park that can be partly converted into offices. An application for a building
permit will be lodged in the spring with the aim of starting construction work
in early 2020.
3. FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT
- In February 2019, Icade successfully completed a bond tender offer for three
outstanding issues maturing in 2021, 2022 and 2023 listed on Euronext
Paris.
The offer was closed on February 27, 2019 with a total buyback amount
of EUR156.5 million. This transaction had a positive impact on the average
debt maturity, which improved by 0.2 years for the Group.
- In addition, Icade was awarded the highest score by the Climate Bonds
Initiative for its Green Bond reporting at the end of March 2019.
It should be noted that Icade issued its Inaugural Green Bond in 2017
for a total of EUR600 million, with a maturity of 10 years and an annual
coupon of 1.5%.
- Lastly, Icade completed its share buyback programme launched in December
2018 and limited to 0.5% of its share capital: 372,679 shares were
repurchased at an average price of EUR69.68.
These shares are intended to cover existing or future employee share
ownership plans.
4. EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE APPOINTMENTS AND CHANGES IN GOVERNANCE
- Françoise DELETTRE, CEO of Icade Santé and member of Icade's Executive
Committee, has announced her retirement. She will be replaced by Xavier
Cheval, the current Deputy CEO of Icade Santé, effective today.
- Maurice SISSOKO, CEO of Icade Promotion and member of Icade's Executive
Committee, is leaving the company to pursue personal goals. He will be
replaced in the coming weeks by Emmanuel DESMAIZIERES, currently CEO of
UrbanEra, International activities, Subsidiaries and Commercial business
for Bouygues Immobilier.
- Jérôme LUCCHINI, Deputy CEO of Icade Santé and Secretary of the Board of
Directors, has been appointed General Secretary of Icade; he will be a
member of the Executive Committee. He has also been reappointed Secretary
of the Board of Directors.
- Icade has today published a press release on the outcome of the General
Meeting held on April 24, 2019 and the changes in governance that ensued
from the meeting of the Board of Directors held on the same date,
including:
- The appointment of Frédéric THOMAS as Chairman of the Board of Directors;
- The reappointment of Olivier WIGNIOLLE as CEO of Icade for four years;
- The appointment of Florence PERONNAU as Vice-Chairwoman and Lead
Independent Director;
- The new composition of the Board of Directors and its committees.
5. 2019 OUTLOOK: PRIORITIES AND GUIDANCE CONFIRMED
Icade's priorities for 2019 were announced last February:
- Office development pipeline and "opportunistic" disposals of Core offices
- International expansion of Icade Santé
- Icade Promotion: launch of large projects won in 2018
- CSR priority: low-carbon
- Continued liability optimisation (LTV ratio, maturity)
At the end of Q1 2019, Icade confirms its guidance for the year announced in
February 2019:
- In 2019, Group net current cash flow per share should be stable excluding the
impact of any opportunistic disposals to be completed in 2019 (it is recalled
that excluding the impact of significant disposals in 2018, 2019 NCCF would
have grown by +6%).
- 2019 dividend policy: in 2019, the dividend should increase by c.+4.5%, in
line with NCCF CAGR over the course of the plan. This increased dividend
will be achieved through a payout ratio of about 90% of NCCF and, as the
case may be, the distribution of part of the capital gains realised on
disposals (in accordance with the dividend distribution requirements
imposed by the SIIC regime).
FINANCIAL CALENDAR
