Luxembourg, May 20, 2015 - Grand City Properties S.A. (the "Company", "GCP") announces the results for Q1 2015. The figures show ongoing positive development in the overall portfolio of the Company as well as its profitability, primarily stemming from operational initiatives implemented in the first quarter of 2015 and the second half of 2014. Growth both in the top and bottom line During the first 3 months of 2015 GCP added 9,000 units to its portfolio, raising the total holdings by 21% to 52,000 units. Including the 22,000 units managed for third parties, the Company managed 74,000 units as of March 2015. As of May 2015 the total portfolio rose to 55,000 units, bringing the total units under management to 77,000 units. The additions were made through several accretive deals, in line with the Company's acquisition criteria and further adding to the quality of the portfolio and benefits from economies of scale. The success of the business model was validated at the bottom line with strong net profits of EUR80 million, supported by operational improvements and further extraction of the potential embedded in the portfolio. As a result, EPRA NAV rose to EUR1.53 billion, up 6.3% from year-end 2014. Profitability rises as operational improvements unfold impact While acquisitions form an essential part of the Company's growth, the turnaround of the properties is the key determinant of the success of the growth and profitability driver. Profitability figures reflect the successful turnarounds in Q1 2015 and the lagged effect of previous periods. FFO I rose by 53% to EUR25.2 million in comparison to Q1 2014, reflecting over EUR100 million on a quarterly annualized basis. Strong capital market access built on conservative capital structure GCP was able to further improve its capital structure. The LTV fell from 45% as of year-end 2014 to 38% in March 2015. Assuming conversion of the convertible bonds that are deep in the money since August 2014, LTV is at 30%. The equity ratio improved from 40% at the year-end of 2014 to 49% in March 2015, 56% assuming the conversion of the convertibles. Further, the interest coverage ratio significantly improved from 4.5x to 5.7x between Q1 2014 and Q1 2015 as well as the debt service coverage ratio at 4.3x from 3.4x in the respective period. Unencumbered assets amounted to EUR1.53 billion as of March 2015 (58% of investment property values), further increased to EUR1.65 billion in May 2015, providing exceptionally high financial flexibility and headroom. Supported by the strong financial position, the Company accessed capital markets through the issuance of perpetual hybrid notes of EUR400 million in principal amount with a coupon payment of 3.75% in Q1 2015 as well as through the issuance of additional EUR400 million 10 year straight bond Series E in April 2015, bearing a coupon payment of 1.5%.
