Commenting on the results, Jean-Marie Tritant, Chief Executive Officer, said:

“In 2024, we delivered strong operating performance across all activities. Our Flagship shopping centres demonstrated their strength, with higher tenant sales and footfall in all regions, while our proactive leasing strategy delivered the highest occupancy level since 2017.

Our Convention & Exhibition business delivered record results supported by the Paris Olympic and Paralympic Games, and Westfield Rise achieved the €75 Mn net margin target we set when this business was launched in 2022.

We achieved €1.6 Bn of disposals at book value, leading to a 100 basis point improvement in our loan to value ratio, which is now at its lowest level since 2019.

Our strong operating performance and disposal activity, combined with the stabilisation of retail asset values, allows us to propose a 40% increase in cash distribution to €3.50 per share – up from €2.50 per share last year.

Over the past four years, we have reshaped our portfolio through €6.4 Bn of disposals in Europe and the US, made significant deleveraging progress, enhanced our operations and transformed the Group’s risk profile.

Having achieved this transformation, we have made the strategic decision to retain our high performing Flagship assets in the US, which will deliver further growth and value creation.

We will continue to deleverage through retained earnings, disciplined capital allocation and non-core disposals.

We look forward to sharing our future growth plans at our Investor Day on May 14, 2025.”
