KEY FINANCIALS

OPERATING PERFORMANCE

Total revenues

For the first quarter of 2017, gross rental income (total share) rose to €300.4 million from €299.8 million for the same period last year, as the contribution from organic growth offset the impact of disposals (-€6.3 million).   Shopping center gross rental income (GRI, total share) increased by 0.4%, or €1.3 million, to €293.2 million in the period. Disposals completed in 2016 and early 2017 had a negative €5.9 million impact on shopping center GRI while the contribution from index-linked adjustments was +0.7%. GRI from other activities amounted to €7.3 million. Management, administrative and related income (fees) totaled €20.2 million, down €2.7 million from the first quarter last year due to seasonal effects. Total revenues for the first quarter of 2017 reached €320.6 million, virtually unchanged versus the same period last year.

Retailer sales

On a rolling twelve-month basis, retailer sales were up by 0.6%. On a like-for-like portfolio basis,1 retailer sales in Klépierre's shopping malls declined by 0.6% in Q1 2017 compared to the same quarter last year, mainly due to negative calendar effects: one less Saturday in January and one less working day in February 2017. This year, after a downward trend in January, broadly stable in February, retailer sales recovered in March. These figures benefited from no contribution of extensions or recent developments. In this context, retailers in France (-1.3%), Italy (-2.2%) and Scandinavia (-0.6%) posted slower sales in the first quarter while Iberia (+0.4%) and CEE & Turkey (+6.6%) remained solid. In France, consumers slowed spending ahead of the spring elections while, in Italy, retailer sales were impacted by increased competition in Milan.

Leasing activity

Leasing activity was very dynamic. In the first quarter, Klépierre signed a total of 523 leases, representing €10.0 million in additional annual minimum guaranteed rents (excluding contributions from extension and greenfield projects), a clear acceleration compared to the first quarter of 2016 (386 leases and €4.2 million in additional MGR). Klépierre also accelerated the implementation of its "Destination Food" strategy, with the introduction of innovative concepts such as Five Guys (Hoog Catharijne, Alexandrium), Grom (Val d'Europe, Prado), Johnny Rockets (Lonato), Leon (Hoog Catharijne) and Wagamama (Prado). New dedicated food areas in Hoog Catharijne (City Square, Pavillon), Val d'Europe (Place des Étoiles) and the Prado rooftop are further enhancing the attractiveness of the food & beverage offering in Klépierre's malls. Leasing activity in France was bolstered by the launch of the re-leasing campaign at St.Lazare Paris, which is capturing great reversion with trendy brands. NYX, Rituals, Levi's, Calzedonia and Bialetti plan to open new shops while leases with Petit Bateau and Pylones were renewed. In addition, in the first quarter of 2018, Sephora will unveil one of its largest stores in the world (and 2 ^nd largest in France) with a 1,000+ sq.m. store in a new and innovative concept. These successes underscore the relevance of Klépierre's strategy of transforming the St. Lazare hub into a disruptive retail destination. Sephora has also signed 4 additional leases for Klépierre malls: in Annecy Courier (renewal), Marseille Bourse (opening), Val d'Europe (new concept) and Villiers-en-Bière (renewal). In Spain, the ongoing implementation of the Clubstore® concept in Plenilunio has triggered an acceleration of renewals and refurbishments, including Stradivarius and Pull&Bear (both including a store extension), Okaïdi, C&A, Levi's and Etam. New tenants, such as Skechers and Lush, are arriving and will further improve Plenilunio's position as one of the leading platforms in Madrid for international retailers. After signing 24 leases with Inditex in 2016, Klépierre signed six additional leases in the first quarter of 2017, including a 3,000-sq.m. Zara store in Nový Smichov (Prague).

DEBT POSITION AND FINANCING UPDATE

After three years of construction, on April 12, 2017, Klépierre unveiled a 17,000-sq.m. extension at Val d'Europe (near Paris), bringing the French mall's total sales area to more than 105,000 sq.m. The extension features 30 new brands, including flagship stores. The Group is currently implementing the Clubstore® concept through a refurbishment of the entire shopping center. Between April 12 and April 23, Val d'Europe received 0.6 million visitors, a 31% increase compared to the same period last year. ^[3] Watch the video here . On April 6, 2017, the Group officially opened 16,000 sq.m. of new retail space, leased-up at 85%, at Hoog Catharijne (Utrecht), the leading mall in the Netherlands. New stores were added to the shopping center's offering: on the fashion segment (Zara, Zara Home, Bershka, Stradivarius, NAME IT, WE, Men At Work, Claudia Sträter, Bijou Brigitte, Manfield, Parfois, Nike, Jack & Jones, Vero Moda, Sissy-Boy, Timberland), Food / Restaurant (Leon, Comptoir Libanais, Burger Federation, Five Guys, Vapiano, Exki and McDonald's new concept) or Health & Beauty (Yves Rocher, MAC, Rituals).

Disposals signed for €213.0 million

Since January 1, 2017, Klépierre has completed disposals of non-core assets for €177.3 million ^[5] , across Europe (Norway, Sweden, France and Spain). Based on 2016 rents, the implied yield of shopping centers sold amounts to 5.7% while sale prices are slightly above the last appraised values. In addition, assets worth €35.7 million are currently under sale or purchase promissory agreements.

OUTLOOK CONFIRMED

In 2017, Klépierre expects net rental income to continue to grow on a like-for-like basis, while operational and financial costs should be further reduced. Assuming stable or lower net debt, Klépierre expects to generate net current cash flow per share of between €2.35 and €2.40.
