Société de la Tour Eiffel : 2012 annual turnover

14 februari 2013 Turnover and EPRA occupancy rate stable, 4.5% increase in rental income on a like for like basis The company's consolidated turnover for 2012 amounted to € 82.4M, compared to € 82.3M for 2011, of which rents represented respectively € 69.5M and € 69.4M. The stability of the turnover has been achieved despite approximately 110 M of asset sales over the 2011-2012 period. This rental outcome results from a combination of rents received on newly delivered properties (+€ 0.1M), net relettings (+€ 0.6M) and indexation of passing rents (+€ 2.4M), set against property disposals during the said period (- € 3M of rents). On a like for like basis, rents increased by 4.5%.                                             Consolidated turnover +-----------------------------+------+------+ | (in M€) | 2012 | 2011 | +-----------------------------+------+------+ | First quarter | 20.7 | 20.2 | | | | | | Second quarter | 20.7 | 20.8 | | | | | | Third quarter | 20.4 | 20.9 | | | | | | Fourth quarter | 20.6 | 20.4 | +-----------------------------+------+------+ | Cumulated as at 31 December | 82.4 | 82.3 | | | | | | Of which rents | 69.5 | 69.4 | +-----------------------------+------+------+ The relative resilience of business activity was further demonstrated by the EPRA occupancy rate performance of 91.6% for the overall portfolio at 31(st) December 2012 compared with 91.3% at 31(st) December 2011.

The net asset value as of 31(st) December 2012 amounted to € 915M to be compared with € 999M a year ago and € 955M in June 2012.
