Aroundtown (‘the Company’ or ‘AT’) presents the results for the first quarter of 2022. The Company recorded net rental income amounting to €309 million in Q1 2022, 32% higher compared to Q1 2021, as a result of the consolidation of GCP in July 2021 and 0.9% like-for-like rental growth, offsetting the impact of disposals. The like-for-like rental growth excluding hotels was 1.7%. During most of Q1 2022, the hospitality industry was adversely impacted by restrictions and high infection rates due to the Omicron wave which resulted in a collection rate for the Company’s hotel properties of 45%. As all restrictions have been lifted since end of March and hotel bookings are recovering, Aroundtown is expecting a collection rate of 70-80% for the remainder of the year.

ACCRETIVE CAPITAL RECYCLING FUNDING DEBT REPAYMENTS AND SHARE BUYBACKS, GENERATING SHAREHOLDER VALUE

AT has signed disposals at a total volume of €1.1 billion, including €0.5 billion which was signed and not closed during 2021. Until end of March 2022, over €130 million of disposals of offices and retail assets have been completed at a margin of 3% above book value and 66% over total costs including capex. Proceeds from disposals are utilized for repayment of shorter-term debt and for recycling capital into the Company’s own portfolio at a higher quality through share buybacks. These measures supported the increase in FFO I per share by 10% year-over-year to €0.080. In 2022 year-to-date, AT has repaid €0.8 billion of debt and bought back €0.2 billion of its own shares.
