A thriving new SIIC
Following the IPO of December 2005 and the 2 capital increases carried out
on that occasion (generating a total of € 25 million, share premium included),
Paref opted for the tax status of SIIC ( listed real-estate company ) in 2006
and committed to an ambitious investment programme, while continuing to develop
its management on behalf of third parties business.
Consolidated interim net profit up 9.4%
2006 consolidated interim net profit amounted to € 4.4 million after
tax, compared to € 4 million at June 2005. Changeover to the SIIC status
resulted in a € 2.5 million decline in deferred tax.
Property value up 87%
The disposal value of the Company's property, was € 71 million at the
end of June 2006, including € 59 million in investment property, € 2
million in SCPI shares (real estate investment trusts), € 2 million
for the property dealing business and € 8 million in assets held for sale
(i.e. the Courbevoie building sold in July 2006), compared to a total € 38
million at the end of June 2005 (an 87% increase) and € 49 million at the
end of December 2005 (a 45% increase).
45 % increase in rental income
After restatement for the Courbevoie lease cancellation compensation (€ 1,013
thousand collected in 2005 1st half-year), rental income increased from € 1461
thousand in the 2005 1 st half-year to € 2,122 thousand in 2006 1 st half-year
(up 45.2%). The increase was due to growing property value as well as higher
rent resulting from indexation and renewal of expired leases, as occupancy
ratio remained very high:
- 100% for residential buildings
- 96% for commercial
buildings (excluding the Courbevoie building, which was released in preparation
for its sale in July 2006).
Development of management on behalf of third parties (up 14 %)
Management fees received have increased by 14% due to high collection levels
by SCPIs managed by the Group's subsidiary SOPARGEM.
Thus, Pierre 48 (rented apartments) registered overall year-on-year performance
of 12.8%. It had property under management of € 148 million at 30 June
2006 , compared to € 110 million at the end of June 2005 (up 34%). Novapierre
1 (business premises) registered overall year-on-year performance of 9.5%. It
had p roperty under management of € 31 million at 30 June 2006 , compared
to € 17 million at the end of June 2005 (up 77%).
NAV / share up 8.4% compared to December 2005
Net asset value per share (NAV), computed as a replacement
value was € 76.86
at the end of June 2006, compared to € 70.88 at the end of December 2005.
Equity
Group consolidated equity amounted to € 48 million at the end of June
2006, compared to € 44 million at the end of the 2005 financial year.
