Event summary

Gecina reported a like-for-like revenue growth of +2.0% year-on-year, driven by sustained rental uplift and high occupancy rates (93.8%).
The company disposed of €249 million in mature assets at a 3.1% blended rent loss rate, funding redevelopment projects with a 10.6% blended yield on capex.
Gecina's Paris/Neuilly redevelopment pipeline is on track to generate €80-90 million in annual rents once delivered and fully let.
The company maintained stable leverage at 38.5% LTV excluding duties, with a best-in-class credit rating confirmed for the 8th consecutive year.

The big picture

Gecina's steady performance reflects the broader trend of office market polarization, where prime locations in central business districts are outperforming other segments. The company's strategic focus on high-value office spaces and redevelopment projects aligns with the growing demand for premium work environments driven by artificial intelligence and hybrid work trends. With a stable financial structure and strong credit ratings, Gecina is well-positioned to navigate the cycles of the long-term real estate industry.
