CPI Europe generated significant growth in all relevant key figures during the 2024 financial year. Rental income rose by 10.4% year-on-year to €589.2 million. The results of asset management, at €489.6 million, were 17.0% higher than in the previous year, and the results of operations improved significantly by 43.3% to €408.7 million. As a result, FFO 1 after tax rose substantially by 20.2% year-on-year to €274.5 million (2023: €228.4 million).

Net profit due to stable valuations

Revaluations (including property development and property sales) turned positive at €12.6 million, compared with a loss of €376.8 million in the previous year. This improvement reflects the market stabilisation that resulted from the downward trend in interest rates and inflation during 2024. Financial results improved to –€213.3 million after –€246.1 million in the previous year, above all due to a substantial decline in non-cash negative valuation effects from interest derivatives during the 2024 financial year. Net profit recorded by CPI Europe totalled €133.5 million.

Successful portfolio optimisation and high occupancy rate

The CPI Europe property portfolio included 417 properties with a combined value of €7,983.6 million as of 31 December 2024 (31 December 2023: 518 properties with a carrying amount of €8,174.3 million). Of this total, €7,797.6 million, or 97.7%, of the carrying amount represents standing investments with 3.4 million sqm of rentable space. The occupancy rate was 93.2% (31 December 2023: 92.2%). The weighted average unexpired lease term by rental income (WAULT) equalled 3.6 years.

CPI Europe continued its strategic property sales with a volume of €776,2 million. At the same time, the company acquired a portfolio from CPI Property Group in the Czech Republic. The purchase included four attractive office properties and four retail parks.

Robust balance sheet

With an equity ratio of 43.2% and a solid net loan-to-value ratio (net LTV) of 46.4%, CPI Europe had a robust balance sheet structure as of 31 December 2024. Cash and cash equivalents amounted to €531.7 million. Roughly 89.5% of financial liabilities were hedged against changes in interest rates.

The IFRS book value per share increased by 7.5% to €28.60 (31 December 2023: €26.60). The EPRA NTA per share improved by 9.8% to €30.75 as of 31 December 2024, compared with €28.00 at the end of December 2023.
