Eric Duval, Managing Director and Founder of Patrimoine & Commerce declared: « Patrimoine & Commerce continues its growth with solid results. The entry of Crédit Agricole Centre France into the capital of the Company demonstrates the relevance of our value creation strategy, which we pursue in the promising segment of low-cost retail parks, a resilient segment in a complex economic and real estate context thanks to its economic model (low vacancy rate, affordable rents). This operation marks an important growth step with the goal of reaching a property value exceeding one billion euros. We continue our proactive portfolio management strategy and asset valuation while supporting the energy transition (e.g., installation of charging stations, development of photovoltaic projects). True to our profit distribution policy, and driven by our confidence in continuing sustainable growth, we will propose a dividend distribution of €1.35 per share. »
Operational performance
Patrimoine & Commerce had a sustained leasing activity and signed 82 leases (of which 34 renewals). The financial occupancy rate is increasing and stands at 95.4% (5) on the portfolio. The collection rate on rents and service charges invoiced in 2024 stands at 99%.
Group share of net profit growing by +41.1%
In 2024, Patrimoine & Commerce continued to deliver a solid financial performance.
For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, Patrimoine & Commerce reported consolidated gross rental income of € 52.6m, against € 50.5m for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023:

The increase of gross rental income is mainly explained by (i) the effect of the acquisitions and disposals made in 2023 and 2024 (ii) the delivery of the restructuring works in La Ville-du-Bois in 2023 and (iii) the like-for-like increase, driven by contractual indexation and the decrease in the amortization of rent free periods.
Net rental income stands at 93% of gross rental income, mainly composed of unrecovered rental expenses and provisions for credit losses:

Operating expenses and other revenues are increasing over the period (€6.0m in 2024 vs. €5.1m in 2023), mainly explained by a rise in management fees due to higher rents and an increase in IT expenses.
Net cost of debt amounted to € 12.2m in 2024, an increase of +13,3% compared to last year, driven by the tightening of financing conditions. The Company continues to benefit from the hedging of its debt portfolio, with 78% of the debt either at fixed rate or at hedged variable rate. The average interest rate on debt is 3.12% for the 12 months ending December 31, 2024 (versus 2.76% in 2023).
Recurring net result (FFO) amounted to € 30.7m in 2024, stable compared to 2023:
