Luxembourg, November 16, 2022 – Grand City Properties S.A. (“GCP” or the “Company”) announces results for the nine-month period ending September of 2022 with a strong operational performance. Net rental income increased by 7% year-over-year to €295 million, mostly as a result of net acquisitions made in past periods and the solid like-for-like rental growth of 3.1%. As a result, FFO I for this period increased by 3% to €145 million including the increase in operating expenses from the larger portfolio and cost inflation. The FFO I per share increased by 4% to €0.87 from €0.84, more than on the absolute level, mainly due to the accretive share buyback executed in 2021. GCP’s portfolio vacancy amounted to 4.4% at the end of September 2022, decreasing from 5.3% at the end of September 2021.

Throughout the first nine months of 2022, the Company has continued to take measures to optimize its financial platform. GCP repaid over €615 million in debt which included redeeming the €450 million Series F convertible bonds and prepaying over €165 million in shorter maturity secured financing. As of September 2022, GCP’s cost of debt remains low at 1.2% with an average debt maturity of 6.2 years. The Company remains well positioned with no upcoming debt maturities until mid-2024 and cash and liquid assets of approximately €390 million as of September 2022, covering debt maturities until mid-2025.

Refael Zamir, CEO of Grand City Properties: "Despite market volatility, GCP remains well positioned. Rental growth and letting momentum continued in the first nine months of 2022 resulting in a solid operational result and portfolio vacancy declining to a historic low of 4.4%. Our proactive approach to debt management in previous periods means we retain a conservative financial platform with no near-term maturities providing the Company with a lot of flexibility to navigate the current environment and to achieve our 2022 targets.”
