Like-for-like revenues grew by +6.4%, contributing to consolidated revenues of €1 billion (€648 million Group share), representing a +2.4% increase on a reported basis and +6.4% like-for-like.

In a real estate market impacted by rising interest rates, Covivio has adapted quickly, notably through €720 million in new disposal agreements. Meanwhile, recurring net income rose, driven by asset management transactions and a +6.4% increase in like-for-like revenues. In 2024, we will maintain our financial discipline while pursuing growth in recurring results.- CHRISTOPHE KULLMANN, CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER, COVIVIO

Covivio maintained financial discipline, achieving almost €700 million in net debt reduction and doubling liquidity to €2.4 billion, covering debt expiries until Q1 2026. Despite a -10% decline in like-for-like values, the Loan to Value (LTV) ratio remained under control at 40.8%. Recurring net income increased by +1% in 2023, reaching €435 million (€4.47 per share), exceeding initial guidance.

ESG Strategy: Significant progress in ESG indicators, with 95.3% of the portfolio certified, and an increase in debt linked to ESG objectives to 57%.

Strategic Initiatives and Outlook:
