Beñat Ortega, Chief Executive Officer: “In a quite uncertain environment, Gecina delivered strong operational and financial achievements confirming the unique positionning of our Group. Our outperformance on our asset portfolio was further strengthened by our balance sheet, combining to offer good visibility over our cash flow growth moving forward.

The Group also successfully managed to opportunistically reinforced its strengths this year by disposing €1.3bn of mature real estate assets, above their appraisal values with an accretive impact on earnings, thanks to an average 2.5% yield. This is enabling us to further strengthen the quality of our balance sheet, in addition to financing our pipeline, concentrated primarily in Paris and driving strong value creation, while opening opportunistic financial headroom as well.

The Group is therefore well placed to achieve growth thanks to our decisive capital and asset allocation initiatives, combined with a strong CSR leadership, aligned with the new reality on the real estate markets. We are building the foundations for a Group that will be positioned to deliver sustainable outperformance as we move forward”.
