Major events as at September 30, 2017

  1. Tenant sales

Following a strong acceleration in Q3, tenant sales (1) in Unibail-Rodamco's shopping centres for the year were up by +4.5% through September 30, 2017 compared to the same period in 2016, while footfall was up by +1.7% (2) . Across Europe, tenant sales were driven by solid "Fashion apparel" sales and by the good performance of the "Sports", "Dining", "Health & Beauty" and "Entertainment" segments. Through Q3 2017, tenant sales in Central Europe, the Nordics, France, Germany and Spain were up by +6.7%, +5.7%, +5.2%, +3.4% and +2.5%, respectively.

Through August 2017, the Group's tenant sales outperformed the national sales indices (3) by +151 bps. In France, tenant sales outperformed the IFLS (4) and CNCC (5) indices by +416 bps and +566 bps, respectively.

  1. Gross Rental Income

Gross Rental Income (GRI) of the Shopping Centre division amounted to €1,103.7 Mn for the first nine months of 2017, an increase of +4.9% compared to the same period in 2016. The performance was strong across most regions, driven by strong like-for-like growth. The pipeline projects of 2016 (full period impact of the Forum des Halles extension) and 2017 (including phase 2 of the full redevelopment of Glòries, and the extensions of Centrum Chodov and Carré Sénart) also contributed to this performance.

The GRI of the Office division amounted to €112.3 Mn, down by -10.8% compared to the first nine months of 2016. In France, strong rental income growth resulting from the good leasing activity on Capital 8 and the impact of the rents from the Majunga tower for the entire period was more than offset by the impact of the disposal of the 2-8 Ancelle, So Ouest Office, 70-80 Wilson and Nouvel Air buildings in 2016.

The GRI of the Convention & Exhibition division decreased by -3.4% to €137.5 Mn, mainly due to the 2017 odd-year effect and the impact of the closure for refurbishment of the Pullman Montparnasse hotel.
