Résultats annuels 2024
Hausse de +10% du résultat récurrent, bilan renforcé, perspectives favorables
« Dans un monde immobilier en mutation, Covivio a tiré profit de son modèle d’opérateur immobilier diversifié en adaptant son patrimoine et en renforçant sa qualité. Avec plus de 1 Md€ d’investissements sur l’année, le Groupe a saisi de nouvelles opportunités de croissance, en particulier en hôtellerie, tout en finalisant son plan de cessions de 1,5 Md€. La très bonne activité opérationnelle permet également d’afficher une croissance du résultat net récurrent de +10% en 2024. Covivio entend poursuivre cette dynamique de croissance en 2025 et proposera à la prochaine assemblée générale le versement d’un dividende en hausse de +6%. » Christophe Kullmann, Directeur Général de Covivio

Covivio : un patrimoine diversifié et en amélioration continue
Covivio détient 23,1 Md€ (15,6 Md€ PdG) d’actifs en Europe, gérés selon trois piliers stratégiques :
1. La localisation au cœur des capitales européennes et des principaux quartiers d’affaires et de loisirs, en particulier à Paris, Berlin et Milan. 94% des actifs se situent dans des localisations centrales[1] et 99% à moins de 5 minutes à pied d’un transport en commun.
2. Une logique d’opérateur immobilier intégré, innovante et inspirée de l’hôtellerie. Covivio dispose ainsi d’une plateforme hôtelière intégrée, WiZiU. Ce savoir-faire se déploie aussi à travers Wellio, nos espaces de bureaux opérés, ou dans notre capacité à proposer des offres sur-mesure. Cette approche est saluée par les clients utilisateurs des immeubles Covivio, l’enquête Kingsley 2024 réalisée auprès de 270 utilisateurs bureaux en France, Italie et Allemagne ayant à nouveau révélé une satisfaction globale de 3,9/5 (vs benchmark à 3,6).
3. Le développement durable : Covivio est un opérateur engagé dans la transition climatique, pour un impact positif et durable sur la ville. Cet objectif s’illustre notamment par une trajectoire carbone ambitieuse (baisse des émissions de -40% de 2010 à 2030) et est salué par les principales agences de notation (5-star par GRESB et AAA par MSCI).
Le patrimoine est composé à 51% de bureaux situés principalement à Paris, Milan et dans les grandes villes allemandes, dont 70% en centre-ville (vs 59% en 2020) et 24% dans les principaux centres d’affaires ; 29% de logements principalement à Berlin (57% du portefeuille résidentiel) ; et 20% d’hôtels situés dans les grandes villes touristiques européennes (Paris, Berlin, Rome, Madrid, Barcelone, Londres, etc.), loués ou gérés par les opérateurs leaders : Accor, IHG, Marriott, B&B, NH Hotels, etc.
Rotation qualitative du patrimoine
1,1 milliard d’euros investis en 2024, principalement en hôtellerie, à un rendement supérieur à 6,5%
En 2024, Covivio a réalisé 1,1 Md€ d’investissements (dont 507 M€ en apport d’actifs), à un rendement moyen supérieur à 6,5%, afin de renforcer son leadership en hôtels et la qualité de son patrimoine. 67% des investissements se sont ainsi concentrés sur l’hôtellerie (733 M€ Part du groupe). L’année 2024 aura ainsi marqué un renforcement majeur sur cette classe d’actif, qui pèse désormais 20% du patrimoine de Covivio, en hausse de +3 points sur un an.
Renforcement au capital de la filiale Covivio Hotels
Au cours du premier semestre, Covivio a repris 8,7% du capital de sa filiale Covivio Hotels, en échange d’actions nouvelles Covivio, principalement auprès de Generali, et détient dorénavant 52,5% du capital de Covivio Hotels. Avec cet apport, qui équivaut à l’acquisition de 507 M€ d’actifs, Covivio se renforce dans l’un des patrimoines les plus qualitatifs du marché, constitué de 283 hôtels prime situés à 90% dans les principales villes touristiques européennes comme Paris, Berlin, Rome, Londres, Barcelone ou Madrid.
Echange d’hôtels créateur de valeur avec AccorInvest
En parallèle, Covivio a franchi une étape significative en vue d’extraire le potentiel de création de valeur de son patrimoine hôtels. Covivio Hotels a ainsi finalisé en novembre 2024 le remembrement de la propriété des murs et fonds de commerce d’hôtels détenus conjointement avec AccorInvest. La valeur convenue des murs cédés à AccorInvest représente 130 M€ en part du Groupe Covivio et la valeur convenue des fonds de commerce rachetés par Covivio Hotels représente 157 M€. Sur la base des chiffres 2023, la différence entre loyers nets (100% variable) des actifs cédés et EBITDA des fonds de commerce acquis représente plus de 11 M€. Au-delà de la relution immédiate sur les résultats, ce portefeuille remembré possède un potentiel de création de revenus et valeur significatif, avec l’identification de 52 M€ de capex part du Groupe avec un rendement marginal supérieur à 20%. Les hôtels détenus en murs et fonds représentent désormais 38% du patrimoine hôtels, contre 62% d’actifs en bail, principalement fixe.
Acquisition d’un hôtel loisirs en Europe du Sud
Le 19 décembre 2024, Covivio a annoncé l’acquisition de l’hôtel 4* Iberostar Las Dalias à Tenerife, pour un montant de 81 M€ droits inclus (43 M€ en part du Groupe) et un rendement stabilisé de 6,75%. Cet établissement de 429 chambres est loué via un bail triple net ferme jusqu’en 2041 à Iberostar, 5ᵉ opérateur hôtelier en Espagne. Rénové en 2021 et conforme aux objectifs CRREM[2], il affiche d’excellentes performances environnementales.
Avec cette opération, Covivio poursuit ainsi le renforcement de son exposition à l’hôtellerie, en particulier dans le segment loisirs en Europe du Sud.
Poursuite des investissements sur le patrimoine afin de renforcer la centralité et la qualité
En 2024, Covivio a livré 3 hôtels en murs et fonds à Lille et Bruges, ainsi qu’un hôtel Melia en bail à Malaga. Ces projets représentent 458 clés, un total de capex de 15 M€ part du Groupe (28,5 M€ à 100%) et un rendement marginal sur capex de plus de 15%. Covivio a notamment implanté le nouveau concept Novotel à Bruges, après avoir créé 10 chambres supplémentaires et rénové le lobby et les espaces serviciels. A Lille, deux livraisons ont eu lieu sur l’exercice : le Hilton Lille (remplaçant Crowne Plaza) après une rénovation complète des chambres, et le Grand Hotel Bellevue situé en plein cœur de la Grand Place de Lille, après la création de 5 chambres et d’un bar en rooftop.
En bureaux (25% des investissements), le Groupe s’est concentré sur son pipeline de projets, principalement situés dans les centres-villes des grandes capitales européennes, pour un montant d’investissements de 279 M€ part du Groupe. Au 4e trimestre, Covivio a notamment livré le nouveau siège de L’Oréal Italia, au sein du projet de régénération urbaine The Sign, développé par le groupe à Milan et qui accueille déjà de grandes multinationales telles qu’AON et
NTT Data. Le nouveau bâtiment, totalisant 13 000 m² répartis sur 9 étages, a été conçu en tenant compte des plus hauts standards en matière de durabilité et d’innovation technologique, et se distingue par sa façade alternant surfaces vitrées et éléments métalliques opaques. Certifié WiredScore Platinium, l’immeuble vise aujourd’hui les certifications LEED Platinium, WELL et Biodivercity. Il a représenté un total de 76 M€ d’investissements pour un rendement sur coût de 6,1%.
Le solde des investissements (8%, soit 88 M€) concerne principalement les capex de modernisation et d’amélioration de la performance énergétique du parc résidentiel allemand.
766 M€ de nouveaux accords de cessions signés en 2024
Dans un marché de l’investissement encore atone, Covivio a signé pour 766 M€ part du Groupe (1,3 Md€ à 100%) d’accords de cessions, avec une marge moyenne de +3% sur les valeurs d’expertise de fin 2023 et un taux de rendement moyen de 5,1%. Avec 1,6 Md€ de ventes et accords signés, Covivio a finalisé son plan de cessions de 1,5 Md€ entre fin 2022 et fin 2024.
En bureaux, le Groupe a sécurisé 361 M€ d’accords de cessions (428 M€ à 100%), proches des valeurs d’expertise (-0,5%) et avec un taux de rendement de 5,6%. Ces cessions ont porté tant sur des actifs matures que sur des immeubles à transformer en résidentiel. Fin 2024, Covivio a notamment signé un accord avec Valesco sur le futur siège social d’un acteur du luxe à Milan, pour près de 200 M€.
En résidentiel allemand, 166 M€ part du Groupe (244 M€ à 100%) ont été cédés, en prime moyenne de +11% sur les valeurs d’expertise, avec notamment : la création d’une joint-venture à Berlin avec CDC Investissement Immobilier, en ligne avec les valeurs de fin 2023, contribuant au programme de cessions à hauteur de 93 M€ en part du Groupe ; et la poursuite des ventes à l’unité, pour 58 M€ en part du Groupe (89 M€ à 100%), en prime moyenne de +40% sur les valeurs d’expertise de fin 2023.
En hôtellerie, les accords de cessions ont totalisé 239 M€ en part du Groupe (606 M€ à 100%), en prime moyenne de
+4% sur les valeurs d’expertise. Elles ont principalement concerné les murs cédés dans le cadre de l’échange d’actifs avec AccorInvest, des hôtels non stratégiques en Allemagne et en Espagne, ainsi que des cessions conjointes de murs et fonds de commerce avec AccorInvest.

Le marché de l’investissement en immobilier est resté ralenti au premier trimestre 2024 sur la plupart des classes d’actifs, à l’exception de l’hôtellerie. Depuis le deuxième trimestre, les signaux positifs sont plus nombreux. Les transactions se sont multipliées en hôtellerie, tandis que les larges transactions ont fait leur retour en résidentiel allemand, et les bureaux les plus recherchés se négocient autour de 4% de rendement.
Dans ce contexte, le patrimoine de Covivio ressort en croissance de +3% à périmètre courant, à 15,6 Md€ en part du Groupe (23,1 Md€ à 100%) via le renforcement en hôtellerie. A périmètre constant, les valeurs d’actifs se stabilisent au second semestre, à +0,2%, soit -1,1% sur l’ensemble de l’année. Cette deuxième partie d’année marque notamment le retour à la croissance des valeurs en hôtels et en logements à Berlin.
Le patrimoine hôtels, porté par la croissance des revenus, progresse de +1,5% à périmètre constant, tant sur les actifs en bail (+1,4%) que sur les actifs détenus en murs et fonds (+1,7%). La croissance concerne en particulier les hôtels en France (+2%) et dans le sud de l’Europe (+4,8% en Italie, +3,4% en Espagne), portés par la croissance des revenus et les actions d’asset management. Le patrimoine affiche un rendement moyen de 6,4% (+50pb sur un an).
En bureaux (-0,5% à périmètre constant sur le S2 2024 et -3,1% sur l’année), la France affiche des valeurs en hausse au second semestre (+0,7%, et -0,6% sur l’année), grâce aux performances de Paris QCA (+3,2%), tandis qu’elles sont stables à Milan (0%, et -0,8% sur l’année). En Allemagne, les valeurs continuent à s’ajuster, en baisse de -15% sur l’année, en raison d’un marché de l’investissement toujours atone. Le rendement moyen du patrimoine bureau augmente de +30pb, à 5,8%.
Enfin, le résidentiel allemand affiche des valeurs en croissance de +1% (dont +1,1% au second semestre). Berlin, qui représente 57% du patrimoine, surperforme, avec une hausse annuelle de +3,6%. La valeur moyenne du patrimoine résidentiel s’établit à 2 465 €/m², dont 3 125 €/m² à Berlin et 1 796 €/m² en Rhénanie-du-Nord Westphalie, et le rendement moyen remonte de +20pb sur un an, à 4,3%. Le patrimoine est valorisé en valeur bloc. Pour autant, 50% du patrimoine, soit 2,3 Md€, sont d’ores et déjà mis en copropriété, en particulier à Berlin (71% / 1,9 Md€), où l’écart entre valeur bloc et prix de vente au détail atteint +49%.

En 2024, les revenus ressortent à 1 038,4 M€ et 679,8 M€ en part du Groupe, en hausse annuelle de +5% à périmètre courant. Le renforcement en hôtellerie et les fortes performances opérationnelles ont ainsi largement compensé l’impact des cessions. A périmètre constant, les revenus progressent de +6,7%, soutenus par l’indexation (3 pts), la hausse du taux d’occupation et des loyers lors des relocations et renouvellements (2,9 pts), ainsi que les revenus variables en hôtellerie (0,8 pt).
Hôtels : hausse des revenus de +23% à périmètre courant et +7,2% à périmètre constant
La croissance structurelle du segment hôtelier s’est poursuivie en 2024, avec des RevPAR en hausse de +4% en moyenne en Europe, portés par la hausse des prix (+3%) mais également par une amélioration du taux d’occupation (+0,5 pt). Les meilleures performances se retrouvent en Europe du Sud, l’Espagne affichant une forte croissance des RevPAR de +13%. L’Allemagne, en retard jusque-là, rebondit à +7%. La France finit l’année en hausse de +2%, la période des Jeux Olympiques ayant plus que compensé l’effet d’attentisme des touristes précédant l’événement. Le retour de la clientèle loisirs se confirme depuis le 4e trimestre, avec une croissance des RevPAR de +6% en France en décembre.
Cet environnement favorable permet aux revenus hôtels de Covivio de croître de +7,2% à périmètre constant. Cette performance est attribuable tant aux loyers fixes, en hausse de +4,3%, qu’aux revenus variables, en hausse de +11,9%. A périmètre courant, les revenus gagnent +23%, bénéficiant depuis le 2e trimestre du renforcement de la participation dans Covivio Hotels.
Bureaux : hausse de +8,1% à périmètre constant et taux d’occupation en hausse de +100pb à 95,5%
En bureaux, la polarisation du marché s’est confirmée en 2024, la demande étant toujours concentrée sur les actifs centraux, serviciels et aux standards énergétiques élevés. Les loyers prime poursuivent ainsi leur progression, de +12% sur un an à Paris (à 1 200€/m²) et de +4% à Milan (à 775 €/m²).
Dans ce contexte, le positionnement haut de gamme de Covivio (centralité, haute performance environnementale, offre servicielle premium) porte ses fruits. En 2024, Covivio a commercialisé et renouvelé près de 176 200 m², soit +35% de plus qu’en 2023. Le patrimoine bureaux est principalement constitué d’actifs de centre-ville (70% du total, occupé à 97,6%), sur lesquels la réversion captée sur les relocations et renouvellements atteint +12% en moyenne (dont +19% sur 4 500 m² dans l’immeuble Gobelins à Paris 5e et +14% dans l’immeuble Percier à Paris QCA). En parallèle, le Groupe a poursuivi l’augmentation de l’occupation de son patrimoine. Le patrimoine core dans les principaux quartiers d’affaires (24% du total) a vu son taux d’occupation progresser de +1,9pt sur l’exercice, à 94,9%, notamment par des commercialisations dans Urban Garden à Issy-les-Moulineaux (1 800 m²) et So Pop à Paris-Saint-Ouen (6 700 m², désormais loué à près de 90%). Le patrimoine non-core (6% du total) s’est également rempli, notamment par la commercialisation de 7 900 m² sur l’immeuble Xylo à Fontenay, amenant le taux d’occupation à 84,5% (vs 82,3% fin 2023). Au total, le taux d’occupation bureaux s’améliore de 1 point sur un an, à 95,5%.
Les loyers reculent de -1%, en raison des cessions d’actifs réalisées en 2023 et 2024, mais progressent fortement à périmètre constant, de +8,1%, principalement portés par l’indexation (4 pts), le rebond du taux d’occupation (+3,6 pts) et la réversion positive (+0,5 pt).
Résidentiel allemand : accélération de la croissance à périmètre constant, à +4,3%
La pénurie de logements continue de s’accentuer en Allemagne. En 2024, près de 250 000 logements devraient été livrés d’après IFO Institute, en baisse annuelle de -15% et bien loin des objectifs du gouvernement de 400 000 unités par an. Des chiffres qui devraient demeurer faibles encore en 2025, au regard des 215 000 permis de construire autorisés sur un an à fin novembre 2024 (-21% vs 2023). Ce déséquilibre est d’autant plus prononcé à Berlin, ce qui se traduit par des loyers en hausse, selon Immoscout24, de +3% sur un an sur les logements neufs et +6% sur les logements existants. Les prix repartent également à la hausse, de +5% pour le neuf et +2% sur l’existant, à 4 643 €/m², supérieurs de +49% aux valeurs d’expertise des actifs de Covivio sur la zone.
Dans ce contexte, la croissance des loyers à périmètre constant s’accélère, à +4,3% vs +3,9% en 2023, bénéficiant à la fois de l’indexation (pour 1,8 pt), des programmes de modernisation des logements (pour 1,3 pt) et des relocations
(pour 1,2 pt) avec réversion élevée (+24%, dont +36% à Berlin). Le taux d’occupation s’établit à un niveau toujours élevé de 99,2%.
Le taux d’occupation moyen du patrimoine poursuit sa progression, à 97,2% (vs 96,7% fin 2023), tandis que la durée moyenne ferme des baux s’établit à 6,2 ans.
La qualité du bilan de nouveau renforcée en 2024
1,9 Md€ refinancés en 2024, à des conditions favorables
En 2024, le Groupe a sécurisé près de 1,9 Md€ de financements ou refinancements à 100% (1,2 Md€ part du Groupe), pour une maturité moyenne de 7 ans.
En mai 2024, Covivio Hotels a notamment émis pour 500 M€ d’emprunts obligataires verts (Green bonds), à maturité 2033, avec une marge de 148 pb. Sur le marché hypothécaire, 1 Md€ de financements ont été sécurisés, principalement sur des portefeuilles d’hôtels en Espagne et de résidentiel allemand.
La liquidité nette disponible du Groupe a continué à progresser, à 2,5 Md€ (vs 2,4 Md€ fin 2023). Elle couvre désormais les échéances de dette jusque juin 2027.
Renforcement des fonds propres de 536 M€ sur l’année
Les fonds propres ont été renforcés de 536 M€ sur le premier semestre : 280 M€ provenant de l’opération d’échange d’actions sur Covivio Hotels, et 256 M€ issus de l’option de paiement du dividende en actions, souscrite par 77,5% du capital à 38,61€/action, traduisant le soutien des actionnaires.
Des indicateurs de dette nettement améliorés
Noté BBB+, perspective stable par S&P, Covivio a renforcé la qualité de son bilan en 2024. L’atteinte du plan de cessions, le paiement du dividende 2023 en actions et la stabilisation des valeurs d’actifs permettent au ratio d’endettement (LTV) de baisser de 190 pb sur un an, à 38,9%, en ligne avec la politique Groupe de ratio LTV inférieur à 40%. Le ratio dette nette / EBITDA évolue lui aussi favorablement, en baisse de près de 1 point, à 11,4x (vs 12,3x fin 2023).
La dette dispose d’une maturité moyenne de 4,8 ans (stable) et reste fortement protégée contre la hausse des taux d’intérêt : en moyenne 94% de la dette est couverte contre l’évolution des taux d’intérêts en 2025 et la maturité moyenne des instruments de couverture s’élève à 5,8 ans. Le taux moyen de la dette de Covivio s’établit à 1,71% (vs 1,50% fin 2023) et est attendu en dessous de 2,5% jusque fin 2028.
Croissance du résultat net récurrent et proposition de dividende en hausse de +6%
Résultat net récurrent de 477 M€, en hausse annuelle de +10%
Portés par la bonne dynamique locative, les revenus nets progressent de +5,6% sur un an, à 686,4 M€. En parallèle, la maîtrise des coûts de fonctionnement permet de faire croitre le résultat opérationnel de +7,9%, à 571,8 M€. Le coût de l’endettement financier net est quant à lui resté quasi stable sur l’année (+0,7%, à -98,1 M€), la baisse de la dette ayant permis de compenser la hausse du taux moyen.
Le résultat net récurrent (EPRA Earnings ajusté) ressort ainsi en croissance de +10% sur un an, à 477,4 M€, dépassant ainsi l’objectif de 460 M€. Par action, il s’élève à 4,47€ par action, stable en raison de l’augmentation du nombre moyen d’actions.
Le résultat net de Covivio s’élève à +68 M€ (vs -1 419 M€ en 2023), la légère baisse des valeurs étant plus que compensée par le résultat récurrent.

L’actif net réévalué de continuation (ANR EPRA NTA) ressort à 8 896 M€, en hausse de +5% sur un an, la montée au capital de Covivio Hotels (en échange d’actions nouvelles Covivio) faisant plus que compenser le léger recul des valeurs d’actifs à périmètre constant. Par action, il s’inscrit à 79,8€, en baisse de -5%, en raison de la hausse du nombre de titres, notamment suite à la souscription par 77,5% des actionnaires au paiement du dividende en actions. Au second semestre, l’ANR par action progresse néanmoins de +2,7%.
L’ANR de liquidation (EPRA NDV) s’établit à 8 686 M€ (78,0€/action) et l’ANR de reconstitution (EPRA NRV) ressort à 9 705 M€ (87,1€/action).
Proposition d’un dividende de 3,50€ par action, en hausse de +6%
Covivio proposera au vote de l’Assemblée Générale du 17 avril 2025 le paiement en numéraire d’un dividende de 3,50€ par action, en hausse de +6% par rapport à 2023.
Le détachement du coupon aura lieu le 30 avril 2025, pour un paiement le 5 mai 2025.
ESG : nouvelle progression des indicateurs
Poursuite de la hausse du patrimoine certifié, désormais à 98,5%
Covivio a continué à faire croitre le taux de certification de son patrimoine : la part bénéficiant d’une certification HQE, BREEAM, LEED ou équivalent, en opération et/ou en construction, atteint désormais 98,5% (+3,2 points vs 2023).
En outre, la part des immeubles de bureaux bénéficiant des meilleurs niveaux de certification (Very Good et au-dessus) s’établit à 71,2%, en hausse de +4,0 pt par rapport à fin 2023.
Cette politique d’amélioration environnementale du patrimoine contribue activement à l’atteinte des ambitions ESG du Groupe, notamment celle de réduire de -40% ses émissions de gaz à effet de serre entre 2010 et 2030 (sur l’ensemble des scopes 1, 2 et 3 et la totalité du cycle de vie des actifs : matériaux, construction, restructuration et exploitation).
Hausse de la part de la dette associée à des critères ESG
Pionnier dans l’émission d’obligations vertes (Green bonds) depuis 2016, Covivio a poursuivi le renforcement du poids de sa dette verte (associée à des objectifs ESG), porté à 64% fin 2024 (contre 57% fin 2023 et 38% fin 2022), et l’intégralité de la dette obligataire de Covivio est composée de green bonds.
Covivio de nouveau récompensé par ses locataires en résidentiel allemand
Sur le résidentiel allemand, Covivio s’est vu attribué pour la 7e année consécutive le titre de « Fairest landlord » en 2025, bénéficiant d’une note « Very Good », la meilleure note possible. Réalisée par le magazine économique allemand Focus-Money, cette étude évalue les principaux bailleurs en Allemagne à travers 32 critères répartis sur 6 catégories (éthique, soutien aux locataires, service aux locataires, coûts de location, conception des logements et de leurs abords, durabilité).
L’Atelier récompensé au SIMI et lauréat du ULI Europe Awards
L’Atelier, nouveau siège européen de Covivio, situé dans le 8e arrondissement de Paris, a reçu le 16 octobre le prix
Europe Awards for Excellence, décerné par l’association Urban Land Institute (ULI), parmi 8 projets finalistes. Ce prix, qui a été remis à l’occasion du C Change Summit, le rendez-vous des acteurs de l’immobilier pour relever les défis de la transition climatique, récompense les meilleures pratiques et les projets les plus remarquables en matière de développement urbain.
A l’occasion du SIMI 2024, Covivio a également reçu deux prix pour ses projets emblématiques : L’Atelier, lauréat de la catégorie « Immeuble de bureau restructuré », et Grands Boulevards, situé dans le 9ème arrondissement de Paris, distingué par prix spécial « Héritage et Renaissance ». Ces deux récompenses saluent notamment la vision, le savoirfaire et la capacité du Groupe à concevoir des projets singuliers, serviciels et hautement performants.
Perspectives 2025
Au cours des dernières années, et en particulier en 2024, Covivio a largement transformé son patrimoine en renforçant sa centralité et sa qualité, mais aussi en y apportant une dimension opérationnelle forte, source de revenus additionnels et de création de valeur. Dans le même temps, après deux années axées sur la discipline financière, le groupe affiche un bilan renforcé. Covivio sort ainsi renforcé de la crise immobilière alors que le marché de l’investissement enclenche un début de reprise et que le marché locatif se montre bien orienté, tant sur les bureaux centraux, que sur l’hôtellerie et les logements.
Covivio entend poursuivre sa dynamique de croissance en 2025, en se fixant pour priorités :
(i) La poursuite du rééquilibrage de son patrimoine entre ses trois classes d’actifs
(ii) L’extraction du potentiel de croissance du patrimoine existant
(iii) Le déploiement de son offre d’opérateur immobilier intégré sur l’ensemble de ses classes d’actifs.
Fort d’un patrimoine ayant démontré son attractivité auprès des utilisateurs et d’une structure financière solide, le Groupe entend poursuivre la rotation qualitative de son patrimoine en faveur du renforcement en hôtels. Dans ce cadre, Covivio Hotels a annoncé proposer[3] une option de paiement de son dividende 2024 en actions, à laquelle Covivio, actionnaire à hauteur de 52,5%, entend souscrire. Cet investissement de l’ordre de 117 M€ pour Covivio, permettra au groupe de poursuivre le renforcement de son exposition à l’hôtellerie.
L’année 2025 marquera également l’intégration des fonds de commerce acquis auprès d’AccorInvest et le lancement des initiatives d’asset management associées. Après avoir signé de nouveaux contrats de management (en management direct via la plateforme de gestion du Groupe WiZiU, ou auprès des opérateurs tiers Accor, Sohoma ou
Atypio), des appels d’offre sont en cours pour sélectionner les marques et concepts les plus adaptés à chaque hôtel. La rentabilité attendue des travaux dépasse 20%.
En bureaux, le Groupe entend continuer à répondre aux aspirations des utilisateurs via son pipeline de projets engagés, dont les livraisons accélèreront jusqu’en 2027. Situé à 85% en centres-villes, avec des projets emblématiques comme
Corso Italia à Milan, Monceau à Paris ou Alexanderplatz (projet mixte) à Berlin, ce pipeline doit permettre de générer 66 M€ de revenus supplémentaires.
En parallèle, Covivio travaille au lancement de deux conversions de bureaux en hôtels dans l’Est de Paris (11e et 13e arrondissements) : Voltaire (10 400 m²), situé à proximité de la place de la République et Bobillot (3 400 m²), dans le quartier de la Butte aux Cailles. Le budget de ces projets (foncier compris) totalise près de 150 M€, pour un rendement de l’ordre de 6%.
Enfin, en résidentiel allemand, Covivio continuera à extraire le potentiel de croissance (i) des loyers, avec une réversion moyenne de plus de 30% (dont plus de 45% à Berlin), et (ii) des valeurs, par la poursuite des privatisations. A Berlin notamment, l’écart entre les valeurs d’expertise (3 125€/m²) et les valeurs de marché (4 643€/m²) atteint maintenant +49%.
Objectif de résultat net récurrent 2025 en croissance
Le repositionnement qualitatif du patrimoine des derniers exercices permet à Covivio d’afficher des perspectives locatives solides qui, comme en 2024, devraient plus que compenser l’impact en année pleine sur les résultats du désendettement 2024. Covivio se fixe ainsi pour objectif un résultat net récurrent (EPRA Earnings ajusté) 2025 de l’ordre de 495 M€, soit une hausse d’environ +4%.

1 LfL: Like-for-Like
The portfolio increased by +3.2% at current scope, to reach €15.6 billion Group share (€23.1 billion at 100%). This is mostly explained by the reinforcement in hotels, offsetting the impact of disposals in offices.
On a like-for-like basis, the portfolio value changed by -1.1% mostly due to:
Overall in offices, asset values were down -3.1% on a like-for-like basis but almost stable over the H2: - 0.5% (+0.3% on core city center portfolio). Substantial disparities were linked to centrality and geography. France is up by +0.7% over the H2 and Italy is stable while Germany values (14% of office portfolio values) continued to adjust (-5.9% over 2024).
Germany Residential values increased on a like-for-like basis in 2024: +1.0% A stronger performance was achieved in Berlin (57% of German residential portfolio), at +3.6% like-for-like. Average value per m² for residential part of the portfolio is €2,585m², of which €3,125/m² in Berlin. Assets are valued at their block value. 50% of the portfolio worth €2.3 billion, is already divided into condominiums, particularly in Berlin (71%; €1.9 billion), where the unit sale value is 49% above the block value.
In Hotels, portfolio values increased slightly (+1.5%), both on fixed leases: +1.4% and operating properties: +1.7%. Accelerating over the H2 + 1.0% after the +0.5% increase of the H1 2024.

2. BUSINESS ANALYSIS BY SEGMENT
A. OFFICES: 51% OF COVIVIO’S PORTFOLIO
Covivio has implemented an overall offices strategy based on centrality, operated real estate, and sustainability. This strategy has been executed by increasing investments on best-in-class assets in central locations, improving the quality of the existing portfolio and exiting from non-core areas.
Today, quality has become a much more important driver of future growth for Covivio, which owns offices with high levels of centrality and accessibility, A-quality buildings, and top-level service offering. These offices buildings are located in France (27% of Covivio’s portfolio), Italy (16%), and Germany (7%) totaling €9.4 billion (€7.9 billion Group share) as of end December 2024.
This offices strategy is bearing fruit, as illustrated by the increase in occupancy rate in 2024, by +100bps to 95.5%.
Covivio's portfolio is split as follows:
► | Core assets in city centers (70% of Covivio’s office portfolio, +11pts vs. 2020): located in city centers of major European cities (Paris/Levallois/Neuilly, Milan, Berlin, Düsseldorf, Hamburg, and French major regional cities), with high occupancy (97.6%) and 4.6 years WALB. |
► | Core assets in major business hubs (24%): includes assets in well-connected business hubs (Greater Paris, Periphery of German cities), with high occupancy (94.9%) and long WALB (5.4 years), mostly let to long-term partners such as Thalès and Dassault Systèmes. |
► | Non-Core assets (6%): gathers secondary offices assets outside city centers for which the occupancy rate |
(84.5%) and the WALB (3.6 years) are lower, with a disposal or conversion into residential strategy.
1. European office market: confirmed polarization, positive signals for investments
1.1. French offices: confirmed polarization, yield compression for prime in H2
Take-up in Greater Paris office market reached 1,750,400 m² in 2024, down -11% year-on-year. At the same time, customer demand continues to polarize, as the preference for best places continues to increase, but also for the best located assets at the right price:
► Paris inner city outperformed, with take-up down -9% year-on-year to 822,700m²,
► Paris inner city counted for 47% of the total take-up in Greater Paris (vs. 42% on average over the last 5 years),
► La Défense also proved to be better oriented in 2024, with take-up up by +60% yoy to 211,200m², and +14% above last 10-year average.
The immediate offer increased by +19% over the last six months to 5.46million m² and the vacancy rate now stands at 10.2% according to BNP Real Estate, up by +150bps year-on-year, but with strong disparities: below 3% in Paris CBD and close to 14% in the first ring and La Défense.
Scarcity of the best assets in city centers continues to impact positively prime rents, reaching all-time levels in Paris at €1,200/m²/year (+12% yoy). Incentives in Greater Paris increased slightly to 26.3% in 2024, up +90bps vs. end-2023, with maintained disparities across sub-markets, from 14.3% in Paris Center West to 39.3% in La Défense.
Office investments in France totaled €4.9 billion in 2024, down –27% YoY (of which -28% in Greater Paris at €3.3bn). Q4 showed better signs and prime yields even started to decline according to BNP Real Estate, at 4.0% in Paris CBD, -25bps vs H1 2024.
1.2. Milan offices: still dynamic letting market and better investment market
Milan office market recorded a total take-up of 372,000 m² in 2024, -11% year-on-year, with CBD highly demanded (+44% at 138,000m²). Demand is still focused on buildings in prime locations, offering good level of services, as demonstrated by the level of grade A/A+ properties, which count for 71% of the total take-up in Milan.
The average vacancy rate in Milan was down -100bps in 2024, bringing it down to +10.1%, of which -80bps at 5.1% in CBD (where most of Covivio’s portfolio is located).
The intense demand for high-quality spaces, combined with the scarcity of grade A assets, contributed to a new increase of prime rents in Milan, at €775/m²/year (+3% year-on-year), according to DILS.
With a total amount of €786 million invested in 2024, the Milan office investment market increased by +8% compared to last year. Prime yields stabilized, at 4.25% according to Cushman & Wakefield.
1.3. Germany offices: +5% in take-up, prime rents up +5% yoy on average
2024 take-up in top six German office markets increased by +5% year-on-year to 2,342,400 m² (but still 17% below 5year average), boosted by Münich (+34%), Cologne (+9%) and Berlin (+5%).
Vacancy rates reached 6.5% on average, up +90 bps over one year. Hamburg (4.4%) and Cologne (4.0%) recorded among the lowest vacancy rates, followed by Munich at 6.0% and Berlin (6.5%), while in Düsseldorf and Frankfurt, vacancy levels remained higher, respectively at 7.7% and 11.1%.
Prime rents grew on average by +5% vs. 2023, with varying performances: strong growth in Munich (+9%), +4% in Frankfurt and Hamburg.
According to Savills, investment volumes in German Offices increased by +10% YoY in 2024 to €5.3 billion. Prime yields stabilized since end-2023, at 4.4% on average for the top 6 cities in Germany, stable year-on-year.

1 LfL: Like-for-Like
Compared to last year, rental income decreased by -€3.2 million, mainly due to:
Strong Like-for-like rental growth (+€23 million) of +8.1%, mostly driven by the impact of indexation (+4.0pts contribution) and increase in occupancy rate,
Disposals (-€19.5 million) realized in 2023 (-€9.9 million) and in 2024 (-€9.5 million),
Impact of vacated assets to be converted into hotel or residential (-€9.4 million) partially offset by deliveries of new assets (+€2.6 million).

4. Indexation
Fixed-indexed leases are indexed to benchmark indices (ILC and ICC in France and the consumer price index for foreign assets):
For current leases in France, 93% of rental income is indexed to ILAT, 5% to ICC and 2% to ILC.
In Italy, the indexation of rental income is usually calculated by applying the increase in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) on each anniversary of the signing of the agreement.
Rents are indexed on the German consumer price index for 42% of leases, 10% have a fixed uplift and 32% have an indexation clause (if CPI goes above an annual increase between 5% and 10%). The remainder (16%) is not indexed and mainly let to public administration.

The -3.1% change in Like-for-Like (-0.5% in H2) value is driven by several effects:
Strong resilience of France (-0.6%) and Italy (-1.1%) assets, especially in city centers with values increase in Paris / Neuilly / Levallois by +1.7%, while some further limited adjustments were needed outside city centers.
-15% value decline in Germany, in line with a more muted investment market in 2024.
The average yield increased by +30bps to 5.8%.

B. GERMAN RESIDENTIAL: 29% OF COVIVIO PORTFOLIO
Covivio operates in the German residential segment through its 61.7% held subsidiary Covivio Immobilien. The figures presented are expressed as 100% and as Covivio Group share.
Covivio owns around ~41,000 units in Berlin, Hamburg, Dresden, Leipzig, and North Rhine-Westphalia, representing €7.2 billion (€4.6 billion Group share) of assets.
Covivio is mostly exposed to A-cities in Germany, with a 100% exposure to metropolitan areas above 1 million inhabitants and 90% in cities above 500,000 inhabitants. Covivio targets the high-end of the housing market.
Exposure to Berlin, where housing shortage is the highest in Germany, represents 57% at end-December 2024. Covivio’s portfolio in Berlin is of high quality, with 68% of buildings built before 1950 and over 71% is already divided into condominiums.
1. Continued rise in markets rents and rebounding investment market
In Germany, the demand for housing continued to rise since the start of the year, in a context of increasing number of inhabitants (population in Germany reached a record high level of 85.4 million inhabitants according to Destatis), while building permits (215 000 units over one year at end-November 2024) remained far from the Government target (> 400 000 units / year).
This shortage continues to support rents in Germany and especially in Berlin. According to Immoscout24, in 2024, average asking rents for existing buildings were by +1.8% to €8.57/m²/month in Germany and by +6.4% to €14.1/m²/month in Berlin. For new buildings, rents were up up by +7.8% year-on-year in Germany to €12.6/m²/month and by +3.4% in Berlin to €20.1/m².
After several low quarters for the German residential investment market (for multi-family buildings above 30 units), volumes rebounded since Q2 2024, bringing total volumes up by +109% to €10.7 billion in 2024 according to BNP Real Estate. The private market also shows signs of stronger appetite since the beginning of 2024, as shown by private real estate loans recorded by the Bundesbank, up +23% year-on-year to €198 billion in 2024.
Average asking prices were also trending upwards in 2024. According to Immoscout24, prices for existing buildings increased by +2% in 2024 in Berlin to €4,643/m², still well above the current valuation of Covivio’s residential portfolio (€3,125/m² in Berlin). The average price/m² for new buildings also increased to €6,575/m² in 2024 (+4.7% over one year).
In 2024, Covivio's activities were marked by:
Continued high rental growth: +4.3% on a like-for-life basis, now well above inflation;
Creation of a joint-venture on a €274 million Berlin portfolio, through a partnership with CDC Investissement Immobilier;
Stability in values: +1.0% on a 12-months like-for-like basis, of which +3.6% in Berlin.

Rental income amounted to €190 million Group share in FY 2024, up +2.9% (+€5.4 million) thanks to:
In Berlin, like-for-like rental growth is +4.9% (+€ 4.5 million), driven by the indexation (+2.3 pts) and relettings (+1.9 pts) with high uplift (+36% in FY 2024).
Outside Berlin, like-for-like rental growth was strong in all areas (+3.7% on average, +€3.3 million) due to the reletting impact (including modernizations) and the indexation.
These effects were partly offset by disposals closed in 2024 (-€1.0 million).

4. Indexation
Rental income from residential property in Germany changes depending on multiple mechanisms.
4.1. Rents for re-leased properties:
In principle, rents may be increased freely, provided the property is not financed through governmental subsidies.
As an exception to the unrestricted rent setting principle, cities like Berlin, Hamburg, Cologne, Düsseldorf, Dresden and Leipzig have introduced rent caps (Mietpreisbremse) for re-leased properties. In these cities, rents for re-leased properties cannot exceed the public rent reference (Mietspiegel) by more than 10%, except in the following conditions:
If the property has been modernised in the past three years, the rent for the re-let property may exceed the +10% limit by a maximum of 8% of the costs to modernise it.
In the event the property is completely modernised (work amounting to more than one-third of new construction costs excl. Maintenance), the rent may be increased freely.
If the rent received from the previous tenant is higher than the +10% limit, then the previous rent will be the limit in the case of re-letting.
Properties built after 1 October 2014 are not included in the rent cap.
4.2. For current leases:
For residential tenants, the rent can generally be adjusted based on the local comparative rent (Mietspiegel), which is usually determined based on the rent index. In addition to this adjustment method, an index-linked or graduated rent agreement can also be concluded. A successive combination of adjustment methods can also be contractually agreed (e.g. graduated rent for the first 5 years of the contract, followed by adjustment to the local comparative rent).
Adjustment to the local comparative rent: The current rent can be increased by 15% to 20% within three years, depending on the region, without exceeding the local comparative rent (Mietspiegel). This type of contract represents c. 90% of our rental income.
4.3. For current leases with work carried out:
If works have been carried out, rents may be increased by up to 8% of the cost of work excl. maintenance, in addition to the possible increase according to the rent index. This increase is subject to three conditions:
The works aim to save energy, increase the utility value, or improve the living conditions in the long run.
The rent increase takes effect 3 months after the declaration of rent increase.
The rent may not be increased by more than €3/m² for work to modernise the property within a six-year period (€2/m² if the initial rent is below €7/m²).
5. Occupancy rate: a high level of 99.2%
(%) | 2023 | 2024 |
Berlin | 98.6% | 98.7% |
Dresden & Leipzig | 99.8% | 99.7% |
Hamburg | 100.0% | 100.0% |
North Rhine-Westphalia | 99.6% | 99.7% |
Total | 99.1% | 99.2% |
The occupancy rate stands at 99.2% It has remained above 98% since the end of 2015 and reflects the Group's very high-quality portfolio and low rental risk.

C. HOTELS: 20% OF COVIVIO’S PORTFOLIO
Covivio Hotels, a 52.5%-owned subsidiary of Covivio as of 31 December 2024 (vs. 43.9% at end-2023), is a listed property investment company (SIIC) and leading hotel real-estate player in Europe. It invests both in hotels under lease (fixed or variable) and in hotel operating companies (owning OpCos and PropCos).
The figures presented are expressed at 100% and in Covivio Group share (GS).
Covivio owns a high-quality hotel portfolio (283 hotels / 39,477 rooms) worth €6.4 billion (€3.1 billion in Group share), focused on major European cities and let to or operated by major hotel operators such as Accor, B&B, Mariott, IHG, NH Hotels, etc. This portfolio offers geographic and tenant diversification (across 12 European countries) as well as several asset management opportunities via different investment methods (hotel lease and hotel operating properties). The reinforcement of Covivio in Covivio Hotels is effective from end-March 2024 in the P&L.
The asset swap with AccorInvest is effective from 1 December 2024, so the hotels for which Operating companies were bought (and gathered with property companies already owned) generated rents for 11 months and EBITDA for 1 month.
Assets partially owned by Covivio Hotels include mostly:
• 91 B&B assets in France, including 89 held at 50.2% and 2 held at 31.2%
• 22 AccorInvest assets in France (21 assets) and Belgium (1 asset), between 31.2% and 33.3% owned.
1. Hotels market: continued growth
European hotels performance was robust again in 2024. The average RevPAR (revenue Per Available Room) in Europe shows an average increase of +4% year-on-year in 2024, as the market continues its positive momentum, supported by the rise average prices but also in occupancy.
Southern European countries are showing very strong performances, particularly Spain up by +13%.
Germany is continuing to catch up with a RevPAR growth of +7% over the year.
In France, RevPAR growth is more modest at +2%, impacted by travel delays during the pre-Olympic period.
On the investment side, volumes displayed one of the highest growths for a single asset class in Europe, reaching €19.5 billion 2024, +34% vs. 2023, according to CBRE. France, Spain, and the United Kingdom account for the majority of transactions (63%).

1 LfL: Like-for-Like
Hotel revenues increased by +7.2% like-for-like (+€8.4 million Group share) compared to 2023, due to:
Lease properties:
• Variable leases (22.2% of hotels revenue), up +31.2% on a like-for-like basis, mostly linked with the steep increase of variable rents in the south of Europe
• Fixed leases (53.4% of hotels revenue), up +4.3% like-for-like, mostly through positive indexation.
Operating properties (24.7% of hotels revenue): mainly located in Germany and in the north of France. The +4.9% like-for-like increase in EBITDA is mostly explained by improved performances in Germany (+6.7%).
At current scope, revenue increased by +21.6% to €170 million, mostly linked with the reinforcement in Covivio Hotels (+€18m), on top of like-for-like growth.
3. Annualized revenue
Breakdown by tenant/operator and by country (based on 2024 revenues), totalling €193.9 million in Group share:

At the end of December 2024, Covivio owned a unique hotel portfolio (283 hotels / 39,477 rooms) of €3.1 billion Group share (€6.4 billion at 100%) across Europe. This strategic portfolio is characterised by:
• High-quality locations: average Booking.com location grade of 8.9/10 and 90% of the portfolio located in major European tourists’ destinations.
• Diversified portfolio: in terms of geography (12 countries), and segment (32% upscale, 42% midscale and 26% economy.
• Major hotel operators with long-term leases: 17 hotel operators with an average lease duration of 11.0 years.
The portfolio value increase by +1.5% like-for-like:
• On a like-for-like basis, the hotel portfolio increased by +1.5% over the year. This variation is mainly explained by the stabilization of capitalization rates and continued revenue growth, driven by the strong performance of variable revenue hotels and the indexation of fixed rents.
• Positive changes were thus reflected both for leased assets (+1.4%) and operating properties (+1.7%). Growth particularly dealt with Southern Europe (+4.8% in Italy and +3.4% in Spain), and France (+2.2%), boosted by revenue growth and asset management works.
• The hotel portfolio has an average yield excluding duties of 6.4% (+50bps year-on-year).

This strong organic growth is amplified by the reinforcement of the stake in Covivio Hotels and the acquisition of operating companies from AccorInvest that offset the impact of disposals, mostly in offices.

Net revenue | 624.4 | 656.2 | +31.8 | +5% |
Offices rents: stable revenues, driven by indexation, letting activity and renewals that offsets the disposals of assets.
German Residential: continued rental growth driven by mainly indexation, modernisation works and relocations.
Hotels in Europe: strong organic growth driven by variable rents increase and increase in ownership in Covivio Hotels and acquisition of operating companies.
EBITDA from hotel operating activity: increase due to recovery in Germany, strong performance in Nice and the full year offect of the Zoku Paris opened in H1 2023. The growth in hotels is reinforced by the increase in ownership in Covivio Hotels and the acquisition of operating companies.
Income from other activities: Note that this item includes the income of development projects, EBITDA from flex offices and the income of car parks. The activity flex office increases mainly in Milan. In the property development projects, there were the delivery of 4 projects in France and a gradual recovery in Germany. The decrease is mostly due to a lower number of ongoing projects.
€-65.6 million Amort. & net change in provisions and other:
Note that this item includes the amortisation linked to the right of use according to IFRS 16. This amortization of right of use is mainly related to owner-occupied buildings. Following the acquisition of additional operating hotels in November, the impact of amortisation is -€2.9 million.
€-277.3 million Change in the fair value of assets:
The income statement recognises changes in the fair value (-€277.3 million) of assets based on appraisals carried out on the portfolio. This line item does not include the change in fair value of assets recognised at amortised cost under IFRS but is taken into account in the EPRA NAV calculation (hotel operating properties, flex-office assets and other own occupied buildings). For more details on changes in the portfolio by activity, see section 1 of this document.
Income from asset disposals & disposals of securities:
Income from asset and share deals disposals contributed +€3.1 million during the period.
Cost of net financial debt:
The cost of net financial debt decreases due to the reduction in the average net debt and increase in financial income (effects of cash investments following the 2023 year-end bond issuance Covivio and Covivio Hotels in May 2024) minored by the increase 20 bps in the rate. Note that the average rate of the debt increased from 1.50% on December 31, 2023, to 1.71% on December 31, 2024
Interest charges linked to finance lease liability:
The Group rents some land under long term leasehold. According to IFRS 16, such rental costs are stated as interest charges. The slight increase refers to the hotel activity linked to the reinforcement in Covivio Hotels and the evolution of the GBP exchange rate.
Value adjustment on derivatives:
The fair value of financial instruments (hedging instruments) is impacted by changes in interest rates. The P&L impact is a charge of -€69.2 million. The decrease in interest rates compared to the end of 2023 coupled with the time effect explain the decline in the fair value of hedging instruments.
This year, long-term rates are slightly reduced (10-year swap) by 10 bps after fluctuating between 2.5% and 2.8% during the period. Short-term rates decreased (-120 bps for the 3- month Euribor) following the ECB's rate cuts since the beginning of June.

The decrease in German Residential (-€91 million) was mainly due to CAPEX (+€107 million) offset by disposals (-€24 million), the change in fair value (-€46 million), and the impact of the partnership with CDC taking a 49% stake in a Berlin portfolio of Covivio Berlin Prime (-€94 million).
The increase in the Hotels portfolio (+€480 million) was mainly driven by the reinforcement in Covivio Hotels (+€470 million). In addition, a restructuring operation with AccorInvest involved the acquisition of business assets in exchange of hotel properties. The Group also completed the acquisition of a 4-star hotel in the Canary Islands
(+€43 million). This increase in portfolio value is also attributed to an increase in fair value (+€25 million), foreign currency exchange gains (+€19 million) and Capex (+€31 million). These gains were partially offset by disposals (€196 million), share deal disposal in Spain (-€33 million), and the amortization of operating properties and other tangible assets (-€26 million).
Assets held for sale (included in the total fixed assets above), €238.4 million at the end of December 2024
Assets held for sale consist of assets for which a preliminary sales agreement has been signed. It mainly refers to Italian office assets at year-end 2024.
Total Group shareholders’ equity
Shareholders’ equity increased from €7,957 million at the end of 2023 to €8,228 million at the end of December 2024, i.e. +€271 million, mainly due to: o The net Income for the period: +€68 million, o The dividend distribution: -€330.8 million, partially subscribed at 77.5% in shares (+€256 million), o The acquisition of 8.7% of Covivio Hotels’ capital in exchange for new Covivio shares (+€280 million), o The currency translation differences (+€8 million) and the effect of treasury shares (-€3 million).
Net deferred tax liabilities
Deferred tax liabilities amount €643 million at the end of December compared to €650 million in 2023. Deferred tax assets represent €60 million at the end of December, compared to €57 million in 2023. The decrease in deferred taxes on the balance sheet by €9 million is mainly due to the change in appraisal values in Office Germany.

4. FINANCIAL RESOURCES
Summary of the financial activity
Covivio is rated BBB+ with a stable outlook by S&P, confirmed on May 7th, 2024.
Covivio’s Loan-to-Value (LTV) ratio was reduced to 38.9% (LTV policy < 40%), thanks to active portfolio rotation and despite value adjustments. Average rate of debt is at 1.71%, thanks to a highly hedged debt. Maturity of debt remained stable at 4.8 years.
The net available liquidity position increased to €2.5 billion on a Group share basis at end-2024, including €1.7 billion of undrawn credit lines and €0.8 billion of cash and overdraft minor by €0.1 billion of Commercial Paper. This strong liquidity position enables to cover debt expiries until June 2027.

4.2. Debt by type
Covivio's net debt stands at €6.8 billion in Group share at end-2024 (€9.4 billion on a consolidated basis), down by -€0.1 billion compared to end-2023. This decrease is despite the increased exposure to Covivio Hotels and the consolidation, on a Group share basis, of a higher part of Covivio Hotels’ debt.
As regards commitments attributable to the Group, the share of corporate debt (bonds and loans) grows up to 62% on a Group share basis, at end-2024. Additionally, Covivio had €0.1 billion in commercial paper outstanding on December 31st 2024.
4.3. Debt maturity
The average maturity of Covivio's debt stands at 4.8 years at end-2024.
4.4. Hedging profile
In 2024, debt was hedged at 94% on average, and 83% on average by 2029, all of which with maturities equivalent to, or exceeding the debt maturity.
The average term of the hedges is 5.8 years Group share.
4.5. Debt ratios
Financial structure
Excluding debts raised without recourse to the Group’s property companies, the debts of Covivio and its subsidiaries generally include bank covenants (ICR and LTV) applying to the borrower’s consolidated financial statements. If these covenants are breached, early debt repayment may be triggered. These covenants are established on a Group share basis for Covivio and Covivio Hotels.
The most restrictive consolidated LTV covenants amounted, on December 31st 2024, to 60% for Covivio and Covivio Hotels.
The most restrictive ICR consolidated covenants applicable to the REITs, on December 31st 2024, are of 200% for Covivio and Covivio Hotels.
With respect to Covivio Immobilien (German Residential), for which almost all of the debt raised is "non-recourse" debt, portfolio financings do not contain LTV or ICR consolidated financial covenants.
Lastly, with respect to Covivio, some corporate credit facilities are subject to the following ratios:
Ratio | Covenant | 31 Dec. 2024 | |
LTV | 60.0% | 42.0% | |

Valuations are carried out in accordance with the Code of conduct applicable to SIICs and the Charter of property valuation expertise, the recommendations of the COB/CNCC working group chaired by Mr Barthès de Ruyter and the international plan in accordance with the standards of the International Valuation Standards Council (IVSC) and those of the Red Book of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS).
The real estate portfolio held directly by the Group was valued on 31 December 2024 by independent real estate experts such as Cushman, REAG, CBRE, HVS, JLL, BNPP Real Estate, MKG and CFE. This did not include:
assets on which the sale has been agreed, which are valued at their agreed sale price;
assets owned for less than 75 days, for which the acquisition value is deemed to be the market value.
Assets were estimated at values excluding and/or including duties, and rents at market value. Estimates were made using the comparative method, the rent capitalisation method and the discounted future cash flow method.
Other assets and liabilities were valued using the principles of the IFRS standards on consolidated financial statements. The application of fair value essentially concerns the valuation of debt coverages.
For companies co-owned with other investors, only the Group share was considered.
Fair value assessment of operating properties:
In accordance with IFRS, operating properties are valued at historical cost. In order to take into account the appraisal value, a €240 million value adjustment net of deferred taxes was recognised in EPRA NRV, NDV, NTA related to:
- co-working and operating hotel properties for €232 million
- own-occupied buildings for €6 million
- car parks for €2 million
Fair value adjustment for fixed-rate debts
The Group has taken out fixed-rate loans (secured bond and private placement). In accordance with EPRA principles, EPRA NDV was adjusted for the fair value of fixed-rate debt. The impact is +€218 million at 31 December 2024.
Recalculation of the base cost excluding duties of certain assets
When a company, rather than the asset that it holds, can be sold, transfer duties are re-calculated based on the company’s net asset values (NAV). The difference between these re-calculated duties and the transfer duties already deducted from the value had an impact of €37 million on December 31st 2024.
Goodwill and intangible assets
Goodwill, corresponding to operating hotels companies acquired for €169 million group share, has not been deducted. In fact, the price paid to acquire those operating companies takes part of the asset value as a whole, as determined by the external appraiser. The Group has not paid additional price to acquire those companies. The goodwill disclosed in the balance sheet is, so, constituent of the fair value of buildings disclosed in the line operating properties in the balance sheet.
Deferred tax liabilities
The EPRA NTA assumes that entities buy and sell assets, thereby crystallising certain levels of unavoidable deferred tax.
For this purpose, the Group uses the following method:
- Offices: takes into account 50% of deferred tax, mainly in Italy, considering the regular asset rotation policy,
- Hotels: takes into account deferred tax on the non-core part of the portfolio, expected to be sold within the next few years,
- Residential: includes the deferred tax linked to the building classified as Assets available held for sale, considering the low level of asset rotation in this activity.

7. GLOSSARY
® Net asset value per share: NRV, NTA and NDV
NRV (Net Reinstatement Value) per share, NTA (Net Tangible Assets) per share and NDV (Net Disposal Value) per share are calculated pursuant to the EPRA recommendations, based on the shares outstanding as at yearend (excluding treasury shares) and adjusted for the effect of dilution.
® Operating assets
Properties leased or available for rent and actively marketed.
® Rental activity
Rental activity includes mention of the total surface areas and the annualized rental income for renewed leases, vacated premises and new lettings during the period under review.
For renewed leases and new lettings, the figures provided take into account all contracts signed in the period so as to reflect the transactions completed, even if the start of the leases is subsequent to the period.
Lettings relating to assets under development (becoming effective at the delivery of the project) are identified under the heading “Pre-lets".
® Cost of development projects
This indicator is calculated including interest costs. It includes the costs of the property and costs of construction. It does not include the cost on vacancy & rent free period.
® Definition of the acronyms and abbreviations used:
CBD: Central Business District
CCI: Construction Cost Index
CPI: Consumer Price Index
ED: Excluding Duties
GS: Group share
ID: Including Duties
IDF: Paris region (Île-de-France)
ILAT: French office rental index
LFL: Like-for-Like
MRC: Major regional cities, i.e. Lyon, Bordeaux, Lille, Aix-Marseille, Montpellier, Nantes and Toulouse
MRV: Market Rental Value (ó ERV : Estimated Rental Value)
NRW: North Rhine Westphalia
RevPAR: Revenue per Available Room
RRI: Rental Reference Index
Rdt: Yield
® Firm residual term of leases
Average outstanding period remaining of a lease calculated from the date a tenant first takes up an exit option.
® Certified assets
Certified buildings are those where the building and/or its operating status are certified as HQE, BREEAM, LEED, DGNB or appropriate sector-specific labels on operation.
® EU Taxonomy
The Green Taxonomy (or only Taxonomy) refers to the EU Regulation that has been adopted in 2021 and which aims at classifying economic activities to identify those which are environmentally sustainable. For the real estate sector, it has defined what building can be considered as green (The European green taxonomy -Covivio).
® Unpaid rent (%)
Unpaid rent corresponds to the net difference between charges, reversals and irrecoverable loss of income divided by rent invoiced. These appear directly in the income statement under net cost of irrecoverable income.
® Loan To Value (LTV)
The LTV calculation is detailed in Part 4 “Financial Resources”.
LTV EPRA is available in the dedicated EPRA reporting, Part 5.
® Rental income
Recorded rent corresponds to gross rental income accounted for over the year by considering deferment of any relief granted to tenants, in accordance with IFRS standards.
The like-for-like rental income posted allows comparisons to be made between rental income from one year to the next, before taking changes to the portfolio (e.g. acquisitions, disposals, building works and development deliveries) into account. This indicator is based on assets in operation, i.e. properties leased or available for rent and actively marketed.
Annualized “topped-up” rental income corresponds to the gross amount of guaranteed rent for the full year based on existing assets at the period end, excluding any relief.
® Portfolio
The portfolio presented includes investment properties, properties under development, as well as operating properties and properties in inventory for each of the entities, stated at their fair value. For hotel and offices in France, it includes the valuation of the portfolio consolidated under the equity method.
® Projects
• Committed projects: these are projects for which promotion or construction contracts have been signed, work has begun and has not yet been completed at the closing date. The delivery date for the relevant asset has already been scheduled.
• Managed projects: project that will be launched shortly, but work has not yet started. Also, projects that could be undertaken but for which a governance agreement has not yet been finalised
® Yields/return
The portfolio returns are calculated according to the following formula:
Gross annualized rent (at current occupancy rate)
Value excl. duties for the relevant scope (operating or development)
The returns on asset disposals or acquisitions are calculated according to the following formula:
Gross annualized rent (at current occupancy rate)
Acquisition value including duties or disposal value excluding duties
® EPRA Earnings
EPRA Earnings is defined as "the recurring result from operating activities". It is the indicator for measuring the company's performance, calculated according to EPRA's Best Practices Recommendations. The EPRA Earnings per share is calculated using the average number of shares (excluding treasury shares) over the period under review.
Calculation:
(+) Net Rental Income
(+) EBITDA of hotels operating activities and Coworking
(+) Income from other activities
(-) Net Operating Costs (including costs of structure, costs on development projects, revenues from administration and management)
(-) Depreciation of operating assets
(-) Net change in provisions and other
(-) Cost of the net financial debt
(-) Interest charges linked to finance lease liability
(-) Net change in financial provisions
(+) EPRA Earnings of companies consolidated under the equity method
(-) Corporate taxes
(=) EPRA Earnings
® Surface
SHON: Gross surface // SUB: Gross used surface
® Occupancy rate
The occupancy rate corresponds to the spot financial occupancy rate at the end of the period and is calculated using the following formula:
1 - Loss of rental income through vacancies (calculated at MRV) rental income of occupied assets + loss of rental income
This indicator is calculated solely for properties on which asset management work has been done and therefore does not include assets available under pre-leasing agreements. Occupancy rate are calculated using annualized data solely on the strategic activities portfolio. Future leases secured on vacant spaces are accounted for as occupied.
The “Occupancy rate” indicator includes all portfolio assets except assets under development.
® Like-for-like change in rent
This indicator compares rents recognised from one financial year to another without accounting for changes in scope: acquisitions, disposals, developments including the vacating and delivery of properties. The change is calculated using rental income under IFRS for strategic activities.
This change is restated for certain severance pay and income associated with the Italian real estate (IMU) tax.
Given specificities and common practices in German residential, the Lile-for-Like change is computed based on the rent in €/m² spot N versus N-1 (without vacancy impact) on the basis of accounted rents. For operating hotels (owned by FDMM), like-for-like change is calculated on an EBITDA basis Restatement done:
o Deconsolidation of acquisitions and disposals realised on the N and N-1 periods o Restatements of assets under works, ie:
- Restatement of released assets for work (realised on N and N-1 years)
- Restatement of deliveries of assets under works (realised on N and N-1 years).
