"Altarea has successfully coped with the shock of the health crisis, as shown by the strength of its financial position, and is now more confident than ever in its long-term outlooks.
Faced with a crisis of unprecedented magnitude, our teams found the right solution for each situation. In Residential, their commitment made it possible to redirect our offer towards institutional investors and to maintain our growth path. In Retail, we supported our tenants in a partnership approach to preserve and reinforce the future. Lastly, in Business property, activity remained buoyant, although there was no way to avoid the postponement of several major deliveries to 2021. FFO remains in line with the guidance given last July, but nonetheless fell for the first time in more than ten years due in particular to delays in Business property projects and the increase in taxes.
At the same time, Altarea succeeded in strengthening its financial structure. Our Group's liquidity, already high before the crisis, reached €3.4 billion. Our financial leverage is preserved with a Loan to Value ratio of 33.0%, as the sharp drop in debt, particularly in Property Development, offsets a significant correction in the value of Retail assets without deteriorating this ratio.
Altarea is confident in its short- and long-term prospects.
In the short term, FFO is expected to resume its growth path in 2021, if the health situation does not significantly worsen. The extent of this growth will nevertheless depend on changes in the health situation. The first half of the year will still be heavily affected by the COVID restrictions, but the second half should benefit from on the deferred deliveries of Business Property projects. This confidence is reflected in the proposal for a dividend increase of +5.6% to €9.50 per share at the next General Shareholders' Meeting. This proposal will be accompanied by an option to take part-payment in shares, as we have offered seven times in the last ten years. The main shareholders of the Group as well as the senior executives of Altarea, together representing nearly 80% of the share capital, have already announced their intention to subscribe to this option.
Beyond 2021, Altarea intends to resume its forward movement. As a leader in the urban transformation market, our long-term prospects are stronger than ever. The health crisis has accelerated the obsolescence of urban real estate infrastructure and accentuated the urgency of their reconversion. All the Group's projects offer exemplary solutions in terms of sustainability and the fight against climate change. In Residential, Altarea intends to continue building market share and is targeting annual sales of 18,000 units across its brand portfolio. Sales to individuals should increase while maintaining a high level of sales to institutional customers. In Retail and Business property, we will continue to make targeted investments that create value, such as the Paris Austerlitz station. Lastly, Altarea has the financial and managerial capacity to consider all kinds of opportunities which will enable it to further expand its range of skills.
We look to the future with confidence because our market is vast and growing."
Alain Taravella, Chairman and Founder of Altarea
ALTAREA: a unique property expertise platform to support urban transformation
Urban transformation: a vast and growing market
In particular, 2020 highlighted the need for an in-depth rethink of the urban planning of large gateway cities. The health crisis has accelerated the obsolescence of a numerous real estate infrastructures, which must be transformed to become more resilient (energy performance, reversibility, mixed use, new consumption, etc.). Urban transformation is more than ever a vast and growing market.
Altarea's expertise lies in developing real estate products that integrate all these challenges into a complex economic equation. The complementary nature of the Group's operating brands10 offer all the real estate portfolio solutions that enable cities to play a key role in their transformation, either at the level of a building or on the scale of entire neighbourhoods.
Altarea, the leading property developer in France
With more than 550 projects at the end of 2020, Altarea manages the largest portfolio of property projects in France, representing a potential value11 of nearly €19 bn12 in all categories of product.
Secured pipeline (by product) | Surface area (m²) | Potential value (€bn) |
Residential Business Property Retail | 2,772,800 1,385,900 181,300 | 12.8 5.1 1.1 |
Total | 4,340,000 | 19.0 |
These projects are carried mostly in a "developer" business model (development for sale). At the end of 2020, commitments13 across this pipeline amounted to €1.257 m (Group share), of which €846 m already paid out and €411 m yet to be paid.
Altarea, leader in large mixed-use projects in France
These new urban centres, which are veritable condensed version of the city in all its components, avoid the artificialisation of the soil by densification and reconversion of brownfield sites. In 2020, Altarea won two projects, "L'Echo du Bois" in Tours and "Ecoquartier du Canal" in Nancy, and launched the "EuroNantes" project. These three projects together represent 150,000 m², all asset classes combined. In total, Altarea manages 13 large mixed-use projects representing a value of around €3.7 bn for nearly 910,000 m².
A financial model combining property development and asset management
In combination with its Property development activity, Altarea acts as an asset manager for targeted Retail formats with a portfolio under management of €5.0 bn, for an economic holding of €2.8 billion in Group share. Altarea also acts as a developer-investor on certain outstanding office and logistics sites.
Altarea is accordingly both the most financially powerful property developer thanks to its balance sheet, and the property investor with the greatest capacity for asset creation. This unique model proved its relevance in 2020 with a financial structure that remained solid (LTV down to 33.0%) despite the health crisis.

RESIDENTIAL: market share gains and growth in results
Exemplary crisis management, reflecting the agility of Altarea teams
In early 2020, Altarea pursued a strategy of winning market share in a context already characterised by a shortage of supply and resurgent interest from institutional investors. When the health crisis arose, Altarea quickly took into account the new market conditions and redirected most of its offering to institutional investors14, to replace individuals.
The strategy was made possible by the exceptional mobilisation of the teams, which managed to close15 the bulk of these sales in 2020 with a peak reached in May and June at the end of the first lockdown (+14% in notarised sales to €3.7 bn over the year).
New orders16 (+2.3% in value): reversal of the individual-institutional sales mix
New orders | 31/12/2020 | Change | Breakdown | 31/12/2019 | Breakdown |
Individuals - Residential | €609 m | 18% | €1,011 m | 31% | |
Individuals - Investment | €724 m | 22% | €1,174 m | 36% | |
Institutional investors - Block sales | €2,019 m | 60% | €1,093 m | 33% | |
Total in value (incl. VAT) | €3,353 m | +2.3% | 100% | €3,278 m | 100% |
Individuals - Residential | 1,622 units | 14% | 2,865 units | 24% | |
Individuals - Investment | 2,605 units | 22% | 4,671 units | 38% | |
Institutional investors - Block sales | 7,702 units | 64% | 4,592 units | 38% | |
Total in units | 11,929 units | -1.6% | 100% | 12,128 units | 100% |
The average price by units sold increased by 3%, despite the increase in sales to institutional investors.
This reorientation of the commercial strategy had the following consequences:
• reduction in the level of commitment and risk on ongoing projects;
• acceleration of commercial completion rate, which made it possible to maintain the growth of Residential revenue despite delays on building sites;
• reduction in working capital requirement17 and debt;
• decline in margins was offset by the reduction in marketing and operating costs ;
• a rise in operating income.
A new year of growth in revenue and results
Revenue on a percentage-of-completion basis for the year 2020 was up by +5.4% to €2,407 m, operating income rose by +4.3% to €177 m and operating margin remained stable at 7.4% of revenue, helped by rigorous management of overheads. At the same time, the net financial debt of the Property Development division fell by €-314 m18 and is now close to zero.
Residential | 31/12/2020 | 31/12/2019 | Change |

14 In particular, the Group signed three agreements with CDC Habitat for the sale of approximately 5,170 units for over €1.2 bn excluding VAT. At the end of 2020, the first agreement (3,500 units,
€825 m excl. VAT) had been 89% notarised, while the other two baskets will mainly be regularised in 2021.

18 Change in net banking and bond debt of Altareit, a listed subsidiary that includes all of Altarea's property development activities.
Backlog19, pipeline and outlook
The backlog grew by +5% to €3,962 m, driven by "notarised revenue not yet recognised". This secures revenues for 2021. The Residential pipeline remained stable at €12.8 bn (49,515 units) and half of the units concerned programmes that could be launched over the next twelve months. In this way, Altarea maintains its future revenue potential. The Group intends to pursue its strategy of market share gains and reaffirms its desire to reach a target of 18,000 units sold per year.

For 2021, Altarea anticipates continued strong Institutional investors demand and an upturn in sales to Individuals.
RETAIL: strong involvement of asset management teams
Operations disrupted by the health crisis
The year 2020 was marked by a succession of administrative measures intended to fight the pandemic which severely disrupted the activity of retailers. The performance of the centres was significantly impacted:
• footfall21: -26% (on average);
• tenants' revenue22: -18% (on average);
• rent collection rate: 77%23;
• value of assets: -11.1% (Group share).
However, the professionalism and commitment of Altarea's asset management teams have made it possible to reduce the impact of the health crisis, notably thanks to:
• keeping the centres open, whenever possible, in a secure health environment;
• the implementation of additional services for customers and tenants;
• limiting vacancies;
• ongoing discussions with local and national authorities;
• and the renegotiation of leases with retailers in a long-term partnership approach.
Rent collection: an economic cost of €-29.3 m in Group share
The rent collection rate fot the full year 2020 is 77%24. Uncollected receivables (€-42.1 m) can be classified into four categories:
• non-recoverable bad debts, generally corresponding to defaults (€-10.0 m);
• reductions granted without consideration (mainly for VSEs and travel retail tenant's25) which were fully recognised as an expense for the period (€-8.1 m);
• reductions granted in exchange for contractual amendments to the lease26 (€-14.0 m27). These contractual changes represent on average:

Scope effects consist of the sale of two Italian assets to the Alta Commerces Europe fund30 (in which Altarea holds a 25% stake) and deliveries of the last phase of shops at the Paris-Montparnasse station and the "Corso" mall at Cap3000.
Impairment loss of assets was €-689 m at 100% (-13.0%), reduced to €-351 m in Group share (-11.1%). This loss is mainly linked to the drop in appraisal values (66% rate effect and 34% rental effect) and, within a targeted scope, to an additional decrease in the view of liquidity for certain assets over the medium term.
As of 31 December 2020, the Retail pipeline includes 13 projects, with a potential value of €1.1 billion, broken down into two types of projects:
• the development or expansion of assets under a fully-owned "investor" model or in partnership (4 projects for a €771 million value);
• the development of Retail assets in the context of large mixed-use projects intended to be sold under a "developer" model (9 projects for a €356 million value).
In 2020, Altarea made decisive progress in its two main investment projects with the granting of the building permits for Ferney-Voltaire31 (near the Swiss border) and for the future retail spaces of the Paris-Austerlitz
28 Over four years on average, in accordance with IFRS.
29 As part of the support measures put in place by the government, the Group offered all its eligible tenants support consisting of the waiver of all or part of the rent for November, in exchange for a tax credit related to the size of the brand in question, which for Altarea represented a total of €3.7 m at 100% (€2.7 m in Group share).

railway station. Given the context of the health crisis, Altarea will remain cautious before definitively committing to all projects in its pipeline.
In light of the health crisis, Altarea only plans to launch the Paris-Austerlitz station operation in the short term and will be cautious before committing the other projects in its pipeline.
On 8 February, Carrefour and Altarea announced a partnership on the transformation and redevelopment of 25 hectares on 3 retail assets in Nantes, Sartrouville and Flins/Aubergenville currently operated by carrefour.
BUSINESS PROPERTY: numerous deliveries in 2020
A model combining development and investment in the Paris Region and other French Regions
Altarea is the leading Business property developer in France32 thanks to its wide range of products (multi-occupant offices, head offices, logistics platforms, hotels, universities, etc.) and its presence in the most dynamic regions (Paris Region and regional gateway cities).
At 31 December 2020, the Group managed a pipeline of €5.0 bn potential value for a limited risk in Group share (the Group's commitments on unlet or unsold projects amounted to less than €60 m in Group share).

In 2020, Altarea accelerated its development in the Regions, with six new property development projects in major regional cities (Nantes, Lyon, Aix-en-Provence and Marseille), which should contribute to the Group's operating income from 2021.
The contribution of Logistics (XXL platforms and urban logistics) should also increase in the coming years; the Group manages a large pipeline of projects developed under a "developer-investor" model.
Iconic deliveries in 2020 and catch up with delays due to the health crisis in early 2021
In 2020, Altarea Entreprise teams delivered several iconic projects, including Altarea's head office at 87 rue de Richelieu (Paris), Convergence the new global head office of Danone (Rueil-Malmaison), a 46,000 m² logistics platform for Lidl (Nantes) and "Orange Lumière" in Lyon Part-Dieu.
Several deliveries and disposals initially planned for the end of 2020 have been postponed to 2021 due to the delays in building sites, including "Bridge", Orange's future headquarters in Issy-les-Moulineaux, as well as the "Eria" project in La Défense, which will house the future Cybersecurity agency ordered by the French President. These postponements explain the entire decline in the contribution of Business Property to the Group's operating income in 2020.
32 Every year, the Developer Rankings published by Innovapresse analyses and compares business volumes, the number of residential units or square metres of offices produced, and the financial results of the principal private property developers. The 31st edition included 60 of the main players in the sector.
ALTAREA: a more committed company than ever
Part of its business model and sustainable and responsible growth strategy33, the ESG approach "Tous Engagés!" ("All committed together!"), proved particularly relevant during the pandemic.
Employee engagement
Throughout the year, all Altarea's employees have shown exemplary motivation to sustain the activity and performance of the Group.
Altarea has striven to ensure the safety of its employees and provide healthy working conditions. Its new head office in rue de Richelieu, Paris, remained open throughout, including its catering services. The Group also intensified its training programme: 98% of employees received at least one training session in 2020 (4,300 hours of training given). Also, Altarea strongly supported employment, for young people by strengthening its work-study programme (287 work-study students hosted) and for its partners across France (each Altarea employee generates 22 direct and indirect jobs in the community). In recognition of its long- standing human resources policy, particularly in 2020, Altarea was named a "Top Employer France"34 at the start of 2021.
Over many years, Altarea has successfully cultivated a strong image as an employer and conveyed to its 1 983 employees, its working values, commitment and pride in belonging. Joining Altarea means choosing a Group with strong values, delivering innovative projects where achievements are recognised and the value created is shared.
Customer engagement
In the midst of a health crisis where maintaining contact with customers proved essential, Altarea is not content merely to maintain links but has intensified its efforts to build ever closer relations. The Group rolled out a whole series of digital tools to support its Customers, without letting online tools replace human contact. As a sign of the teams' commitment, the Group was voted "Customer Service of the Year" for the fourth consecutive year in the developer category and ranked second in the "Customer Service Top 10" (all sectors included) created by HCG for Les Echos35, moving up one place.
Environmental commitment
Altarea is at the front line of the environmental struggle and has policies in place to combat climate change every day: a reduction of -87.5% in CO2 emissions across its Retail assets (compared to 2010), prioritising renovations for Office projects in the Paris Region (42% of projects) and the circular economy (short supply chains and reuse of materials), carbon-free building practices, countering the artificialisation of land and urban sprawl, reintroducing nature to the city, energy efficiency and use of renewable energies36.
As a symbol of this renewed commitment, the Group confirmed its "Green Star 5*" status at GRESB this year, attesting to its long-term performance. Altarea has also obtained an A rating for transparency, a token of the quality of its institutional publications and the reliability and exhaustive scope of its ESG reporting.
33 Altarea is committed to respecting as a priority eight of the UN Sustainable Development Goals: good health and well-being; Decent work and economic growth; Sustainable cities and communities; Measures relating to the fight against climate change; Clean and affordable energy; Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure; Responsible consumption and production; Life on land; Gender equality; Reduced inequalities.
34 The HR Best Practices survey is run by the Top Employers Institute, which for more than 25 years has been rating companies' HR and management practice. The survey covered 6 major areas of HR broken down into 20 themes, such as talent management strategy, working environment, Talent Acquisition, training and skills development, well-being at work and diversity and inclusion.
35 Produced by the consulting firm The Human Consulting Group for Les Echos, this ranking distinguishes the 200 best-performing French companies in terms of customer relations.
36 79% of Altarea's Business property projects used renewable energy in 2020 and 27% plan to generate renewable energy on site. m
Financial results: stable revenue, FFO in line with guidance, sharp decrease in debt
Funds from operations (FFO) Group share amounted to €230.3 m in 2020 (€-62.8 m, i.e. -21%). The change in FFO breaks down as follows:
• decrease in Retail operating income (€-31.6 m, including €-28.6 COVID-19 impact on net rental income);
• increase in Residential operating income37 (+€7.3 m);
• decrease in Business property operating income (€-22.3 m), mainly due to delivery and disposals delays in 2021;
• increase in income tax payable (€-19.5 m);
• other results (financial expenses, minority interests, etc.) for €+3.3 m.
FFO in Group share amounted to €13.48 per share (-24.6%), after taking into account the capital increase resulting from the FCPE and the payment of the 2019 dividend in securities38.

37 In order to best reflect the economic contribution of its managed residences business, Altarea decided to restate the positive impact of IFRS 16 on its contribution to the FFO, for an amount of €-7.5 million euros (vs. €-5.7 million in 2019) in exchange for the increase in Changes in value, estimated expenses and transaction costs, thus reducing FFO operating income accordingly.
38 The 2019 dividend in shares (ex-dividend in July 2020) led to the creation of 599,267 new shares and the capital increase reserved for the employee mutual fund FCPE, which amounted to 40,166 shares.
Going concern net asset value (NAV): €156.4/share (-11.5%)
The decrease in going concern NAV (€-20.4/share, i.e. -11.5%) is entirely attributable to the impairment loss on Retail (€-21.3/share).

Every year, Altarea has its Property Development division appraised as part of its NAV. At 31 December 2020, the appraisal value of this division grew sharply, driven by both good results and a structural decline in capital employed. Out of prudence, Altarea decided to keep the enterprise value of the Property development division stable40 at 31 December 2020 in order to maintain its ability to maintain positive momentum in NAV in the future.
High liquidity: €3.4 bn
During 2020, the Group arranged new long-term financing of €1.1 bn for an average of five years and five months. Available liquidity as of 31 December 2020 was €3.4 bn (€2.7 bn as of 31 December 2019) broken down as follows.

OUTLOOK
Dividend for the 2020 financial year
A dividend of €9.50/share will be proposed to the General Shareholders' Meeting of 30 June 2021, for the financial year 2020, up 5.9% compared to 2019. Shareholders will also be offered the option to take part-payment in shares. They will be free to choose between:

1.1.1 Retail
Intense activity in asset management
In 2020, Altarea had to deal with the difficulties that affected all retail players faced with the pandemic:
• decrease in footfall and revenue following major operational disruptions;
• difficulties in collecting rent invoicing;
• decline in values.
However, the professionalism and commitment of Altarea's asset management teams have made it possible to reduce the impact of the health crisis, notably thanks to:
• maintaining the operation of the centres in a secure environment whenever possible;
• the introduction of additional services for customers and tenants46;
• keeping vacancies down;
• ongoing discussions with local and national authorities;
• and finally, the renegotiation of leases with retailers in a long-term partnership approach.
Rigorous management has also made it possible to lower rental expenses and thus reduce the costs weighing on retailers.
A strategy that helped to absorb the financial impacts of the health crisis
Altarea's strategy, which consists in fully exploiting the operational know-how of its teams whilst reducing its capital exposure to a small number of formats (€5.0 billion in assets under management, of which €2.8 billion in assets in Group share at the end of 2020) proved its value during the health crisis. The economic cost of unrecovered rents (€48.8 million47 at 100%) was brought down to €29.3 million in Group share. Similarly, the impairment loss on assets under management (€689 million at 100%) was €351 million in Group share.
1.1.1.1
PORTFOLIO
Impact of the pandemic on the centres' businesses
The activity of shopping centre brands was badly disrupted in 2020:
• total lockdown from mid-March to mid-May: the centres remained open to allow "essential" retail to continue to trade. The public reception facilities have been resized to limit operating costs, whilst maintaining the safety and the comfort of the customer's experience;
• gradual relaxation of restrictions with the reopening of "non- essential" retail (mid-May), then cafes and restaurants (June) and finally cinemas (end of June);
• near "normal" trading from 22 June to the end of October:
• new lockdowns in November and the introduction of curfews (8:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. depending on the region) repressed activity in the last quarter.
Since the beginning of January 2021, all sites have been subject to a curfew at 6:00 p.m. and since January 31, "non-essential" stores in French centres of more than 20,000 m² (i.e., 32% of the Group share rental base) had to stop trading for a still unknown period.
Government support measures
As part of the support measures put in place by the Government, the Group offered all its eligible tenants support consisting of the waiver of all or part of the rent for November, in exchange for a tax credit related to the size of the brand in question, which for Altarea represented of €3.7 million at 100% (€2.7 million in Group share).
For the most severely affected retailers48 due to their prolonged closure, public support schemes have been strengthened to help traders pay their main charges:
• extension of the Government's exceptional provisions for partial unemployment;
• postponement of the first repayments of EMPs to 2022 and possibility of obtaining additional moratoria on current loans;
• payment of part of the fixed costs by the Government49 (including rent and rental expenses) and compensation for a portion of lost revenue50.
Impacts of the pandemic on the performance indicators of the centres

46In compliance with strict health protocols, the Group has made available to retailers a dedicated Click & Collect service, monitoring at the entrance to shopping centres and publishing information on the visitor numbers of each site online.
47 Including €29.2 million taken into account in 2020 and €19.6 million spread over subsequent years.
48 Restaurants in particular and entertainment.
49 Cap of 70% for retailers with a monthly turnover of more than €1 million up to a limit of €3 million for the first half of 2021.
50 Support from the solidarity fund: €10,000 per month or, in the event of a fall in revenue of more than 70%, compensation of 20% of monthly revenue for N-1 up to a limit of €200,000.
51 Change in tenants' revenue incl. VAT for constant surface area basis, 12-month rolling figure on the indicated date in France.
52 Change in footfall, measured by Quantaflow in equipped shopping centres, and by counting cars for the retail parks (excluding travel retail outlets) and CNCC data (12-month rolling on the indicated date).
Footfall in the French portfolio was down by 26%, whilst revenue fell by 18%, the drop in footfall being partially offset by an increase in the average shopping basket and conversion rates.
Revenue from retailers that remained open for all of the Group's sites increased by +4.3% at the end of December 2020.
The retail parks, thanks to their open-air configuration and their offer focused on household equipment, recorded growth in performance.
Conversely, station retail was the most heavily impacted due to the decline in passenger traffic, even though this format was the most successful before the health crisis.

Financial vacancy | 4.1% | 1.6% | 1.3% |
The COVID-19 pandemic has led to an overall slowdown in marketing, directly impacting financial vacancies.
Rent collection
Collection rate
The health crisis had a direct impact on the collection of rent invoicing, particularly for the second quarter. In total, the collection rate for 2020 in France was 77% (€214 million in rent and charges collected compared to €278 million invoiced)53.
Recognition of unrecovered receivables (€64 m excl. tax credit)
The table below breaks down the total economic cost of uncollected receivables according to their category and accounting treatment:
Impacts of the health crisis on rents (in €m) | At 100% | Group share |
Bad debt provisions | (18.7) | (10.0) |
Reductions recognised directly as expenses | (11.0) | (8.1) |
Reductions streamlined over time (a) (recorded in 2020) | (3.2) | (1.9) |
Tax credit recognised in 2020 | 3.7 | 2.7 |
Impact recognised in 2020 | (29.2) | (17.3) |
Reductions streamlined over time (a) (recorded after 2020) | (19.6) | (12.1) |
Total economic cost | (48.8) | (29.3) |
(a) On average over four years.
Uncollected receivables are classified into four categories:
• bad debts provisioned as irrecoverable, generally corresponding to defaults for which the cost amounted to €18.7 million at 100% (€10.0 million in Group share);
• reductions granted without consideration (mainly for VSEs and retail in railway stations54) which were fully recognised as an
expense for the period for an amount of €11.0 million at 100% (€8.1 million in Group share);
• reductions granted in exchange for contractual modifications to the lease55. The changes negotiated represent on average:
- an extension of the lease term by 2.6 years,
- an increase in rental value of +2.0%,
- in return for support equivalent to 2.1 months of rent (taken mainly from unrecovered second-quarter invoicing).
These reductions represent a total amount of €22.8 million at 100% (€14.0 million in Group share) and in accordance with IFRS, they will be spread over the residual term of the lease. In 2020, €3.2 million in reductions have already been recorded (€1.9 million in Group share).
• uncollected receivables concerning creditworthy brands whose leases have not been modified and for which the corresponding amounts are legally due, will be subject to recovery measures.
They represent an amount of €11.9 million at 100% (€10.0 million in Group share).

Breakdown of the portfolio by asset type
At the end of 2020, Altarea managed assets of €5.0 billion (at 100%) with a Group share value of €2.8 billion, concentrated in four formats:
Regional shopping centres
In addition to their traditional benefits (wide product range, frequent changes in brands, events at all times) and their extensive offer of leisure activities, large shopping centres have become particularly efficient at meeting clients' service quality expectations notably through their mastery of the digital tools which allow customers to prepare for their visits and customise their experience in the long-term. As genuine destinations in their own right, their scale allows them to offer the most complete customer experience of the entire retail universe.
Major retail parks
Large retail parks are based on promising fundamentals: rigorous control of costs at all stages (construction, rent and charges, maintenance) allowing brands to offer a particularly effective price/product mix.
The growth in legislation preventing urban sprawl is imposing drastic limits on the creation of new retail parks, which is making rentals in this format increasing hard to come by, even though sought after by international brands looking for larger flagship stores at competitive prices.
Travel retail
Retail spaces in railway stations have to deal with intensive footfall and a wide range of customer profiles (international, national or local travellers, and users from the area surrounding the railway station).
The challenge associated with this type of retail is to calibrate the offer in terms of products and services with the various customer pathways. Thanks to the exceptional volume of natural footfall, those railway stations which have managed to optimise this offer are seeing the highest returns recorded across all retail formats.
Convenience stores
Customer loyalty to convenience stores is very strong as this format provides simple solutions for the new way of life and of consuming in towns and cities:
• cars being abandoned in favour of other forms of mobility;
• increased density of housing and reduction in storage space;
• high demand for food outlets and local sourcing;
• development of restaurant offers and services.

(a) Including assets held for sale at the end of 2019 and Italian assets intended for the partnership.
In early 2020, Altarea sold to the Alta Commerces Europe fund57 its last two Italian shopping centres, which it continues to manage (Alta Commerces Europe is a fund in which Altarea holds a 25% stake and Crédit Agricole Assurances 75%).
During the year, Altarea delivered the last phase of the Paris-Montparnasse station, and completed the expansion-renovation of Cap 3000 with the delivery of the "Corso" mall. These deliveries (as well as various smaller investments) represented a value including duties of €408 million at 100% (€166 million in Group share).
Overall, the impairment loss on Retail assets represented a decrease of 13.0%58. This loss is related to the decline in appraised values and, on a targeted basis, to an additional decrease in the view of liquidity for certain assets over the medium term.
The decrease in appraisal values breaks down into:
• a rate effect of 66%:
- increase in property exit rates59 used by appraisers (+28 bps);
- increase in discount rates (+34 bps);
• a market rental value effect60 (ERV) of 34%.
The two tables below show property exit rates by asset type.

NB: since the retail outlets are operated under concession, there is no capitalisation rate. (full ownership rate equivalents are slightly below 5%).
57 This transaction, recognized in the consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS 5, had already been taken into account in the portfolio value published in the business review for 2019 (proforma value of €4,801 million at 100% and €2,893 million in Group share).
58 Figure on the portfolio at 100%. In proportionate share, the decrease was 11.1%.
59 The exit rate (or "capitalisation rate") is used by appraisers to capitalise rents in the terminal period of their DCF models. It reflects the fundamental medium- to long-term quality of assets.

(b) Of which six projects have already been sold, for a total amount of €275 m.
In 2020, the Group:
• delivered the last phase of the expansion of Cap 3000 (Corso), already sold at more than 70% and whose full opening is planned in 2021, as well as the last phase of the renovation of the retail spaces of the Paris-Montparnasse railway station;
• delivered the expansion of Sant Cugat to accommodate
Decathlon and Primark over a surface area of 5,000 m²;
• sold the convenience stores of the large mixed-use Bobigny-La Place project to an institutional investor for €42 million including VAT.
The Group's pipeline is broken down into two types of projects:
• the development or expansion of assets under a fully-owned "investor" model or in partnership;
• the development of Retail assets in the context of large mixed- use projects intended to be sold under a "developer" model.

In 2020, Altarea made decisive progress in its two main investment projects, with the granting of the building permits for Ferney-Voltaire61 (near the Swiss border) and for the future retail spaces of the Paris-Austerlitz railway station.
In light of the health crisis, Altarea only plans to launch the Paris-Austerlitz station operation in the short term and will be cautious before committing the other projects in its pipeline.
On 8 February, Carrefour and Altarea announced a partnership on the transformation and redevelopment of property assets.
Sharing the same desire to be a player in the city of tomorrow, Carrefour and Altarea have decided to partner on the implementation of three urban development projects in Nantes, Sartrouville and Flins/Aubergenville. In total, around 25 hectares will become living spaces, in addition to their initial commercial purpose, thanks to a complete overhaul.
These projects will be linked by common ambitions:
• designing the neighbourhoods of tomorrow in collaboration with local authorities and elected representatives;
• developing and equipping neighbourhoods adapted to their environment, offering their inhabitants new green living spaces and a mix of uses;
• promote the development of eco-responsible mobility through nearby services.

1.1.2 Residential
1.1.2.1
STRATEGY
The Group's development strategy aims to establish strong positions in and around France's most dynamic gateway cities and in mid-sized towns, where the need for residential units is the highest.
The entire offer for sale and the land portfolio are therefore located in "high-demand" areas, consist of multi-family buildings and have high quality and/or environmental certifications.
Altarea is now the second-biggest Residential developer in France62. The Group is structured to be able to reach a potential of 18,000 units sold per year depending on market conditions.
A multi-brand and multi-product strategy
The various Group brands (Cogedim, Pitch Promotion, Histoire & Patrimoine, Woodeum, Severini and Cogedim Club) enjoy operational autonomy whilst benefiting from the power of the Group embodied by the Altarea umbrella brand (strategy, finance, support, etc.).
The Group thus provides a well-judged response in all market segments for all customer types:
• High-end: products defined by demanding requirements in terms of location, architecture and quality;
• Entry-level and mid-range: programmes specifically designed to address: the need for affordable housing both for first-time buyers (secured prices), private investment and institution; the challenges facing social landlords;
• Serviced Residences: Altarea is currently developing this type of offering, particularly under the Cogedim Club brand for active senior citizens, combining city-centre locations with a range of a la carte services;
• Renovation of historical sites: under the Histoire & Patrimoine brand, the Group has a range of products for Historical Monuments, Malraux Law properties and Real Estate Tax schemes;
• Sales in dismemberment of ownership: the Group is developing programmes under a French Government policy known as social rental usufruct. This additional offering, whilst meeting the need for low-cost housing in high-demand areas and thereby helping out local communities, provides an alternative investment product for private investors;
• Timber housing development under the brand Woodeum, leader in carbon-free development in France and a 50%-owned subsidiary of the Group.
The Group has also developed Altarea Solutions & Services, an in-house value-added service platform to support its customers and partners throughout their project: dismembered ownership, financing brokerage, rental management in particular.
62 Source: Ranking of Developers carried out by Innovapresse which analyses and compares the volumes of activity, the number of housing units or square meters produced, or the equity and debt of the main property developers.

1.1.2.2 ACTIVITY OF THE YEAR
Impact of the pandemic on business
Altarea was very responsive to the first lockdown (17 March to 11 May 2020), which severely disrupted the entire Residential development cycle:
• during the closure of the sales offices, which limited sales contacts with Individuals, the commitment of the teams made it possible to maintain sales at around 30% of normal activity through full use of digital tools, notably e-booking, which enables online sales to be contracted under secure conditions;
• the Group scheduled a campaign of notarised completions and collections before the end of the lockdown. It took place at a time when clients and notary offices were barely out of lockdown, as the latter still had a reduced capacity to record transactions;
• at the beginning of May, the 300 projects under way restarted and returned to cruising speed by June, quickly making up the impact of the stoppage on technical completion rates;
This offensive was maintained throughout the year, making it possible to maintain a high rate of activity during the second lockdown (30 October to 15 December 2020) during which construction sites were not suspended and notarised sales were much more fluid.

In 2020, the Group conducted an active sales campaign throughout the year. Sale completions increased by +14% in value compared to 2019 and by +8% in volume (13,100 units sold, with a good balance between types of investor).
Deliveries
In 2020, the Group delivered nearly 7,800 units and more than 300 projects (27,000 units) are underway at the start of 2021.
Commercial launches
In 2020, Altarea focused on accelerating the sale of programmes already launched.
Given the context, business recovered more strongly in the second part of the year, thanks in large part to digitisation of the launch of marketing programmes. A total of 110 new projects (5,300 units) were launched this year, compared to 166 transactions in 2019 for 11,500 units.
Revenue by % of completion: €2.4 bn (+5%)
Revenue by percentage-of-completion is calculated based on both percentage of sales realised (notarised sales) and the completion of the programmes (progress of construction sites).

Renovation/Rehabilitation | 92 | 4% 74 3% +24% |
Total 2,406 2,283 +5% |
In 2020, the mobilisation of teams on notarised sales largely compensated for the delay in technical progress due to the shutdown of construction sites in the spring.
Backlog: €4.0 bn (+5%)
Backlog is a leading indicator of potential revenue, which includes:
• Notarised sales, not yet recognised: units that have been regularised at the notary's office, to be recognised as revenue according to technical progress,
• New orders (units sold) that are not yet regularised.

Properties for sale and future offering:
The pipeline of projects under development is composed of:
• properties for sale (units available for sale); and
• the land portfolio, which includes projects secured under a sale agreement (most of which are unilateral) and whose launch has not yet taken place. These become properties for sale when they are launched on the market.

In no. of units | 49,515 | 48,885 | +1% | |
In m² | 2,772,800 | 2,737,600 | +1% |
The decline in properties for sale at the end of 2020 is linked to the acceleration of bloc sales during the year. This decline is temporary as the Group has simultaneously reinforced its land portfolio to 45,000 units, nearly half of which are due to be launched within the next twelve months.
Risk management
At end-2020, the Group's properties for sale amounted to almost €1.6 billion incl. VAT (equi. six months of activity), with the following breakdown according to the stage of completion of the programmes:

Management of real estate commitments
57% of sales related to programmes whose construction has not yet been launched and for which the amounts committed correspond essentially to studies, advertising, and reservation fees (or guarantees) paid within the purchase agreement on land, and most recently the cost of land.
41% of the offer is currently under construction, including a limited share (€86 million or less than 6% of total properties for
sale) representing units to be delivered by the end of 2021. The stock amount of finished products is not significant (2% of total offer).
This breakdown of operations by stage of completion reflects the criteria implemented by the Group:
• the choice to prioritise unilateral preliminary sale agreements rather than bilateral sale and purchase agreements;
• agreement required from the Commitments Committee at each stage of the project: signature of the purchase agreement, marketing, land acquisition and launch of construction;
• strong pre-letting required for land acquisition;
• abandonment or renegotiation of projects having generated inadequate pre-letting rates.
1.1.3 Business property
1.1.3.1 STRATEGY
An investor developer model
Altarea has significant operations in the Business property market with limited capital risk:
• principally as a developer64 in off-plan sales, off-plan leases and property development contracts (PDC), with a particularly strong position on the turnkey user market, or as a service provider under DPM contracts;
• or as a co-investor, either directly or through AltaFund65, for high-potential assets (prime location) in view of their sale once redevelopment has been completed66;
The Group is systematically the developer of projects in which it is also co-investor and Manager67;
Altarea can operate throughout the value chain, with a diversified revenue model: PDC margins, rent, capital gains and fees.
A dual diversification strategy
Geographic strategy
In terms of organisation, the Group is structured to address two complementary markets:
• in Grand Paris: in a context of high prices and scarcity of land, Altarea works on capital-intensive projects (generally in partnership), or alternatively as a service provider to support large investors and users;
• in gateway cities: Altarea acts in development programmes (off-plan sales or PDCs) generally sourced thanks to the local Residential network.
In just a few years, Altarea has also become the leading Business property developer in the regions. Altarea has been able to capitalise on its know-how to meet the expectations of this fall-back market for companies located in the Paris region which share the same demand for products focused on working comfort and high-quality facilities (connectivity, collaborative spaces, etc.).
Product strategy
The Group is developing a wide range of products: multiple occupancy office space, head offices, logistics hubs, hotels, universities, etc.
The Logistics investment vehicle, created at the end of 2017 by Pitch Promotion, has enabled Altarea to become a commited player in logistics in France with seven projects totalling nearly 600,000 m² under development at the end of December 2020.
Whether for new office projects or complex redevelopment operations, all of the Group's operations combine high environmental quality with modularity and multiple uses.
64 This development activity does not present any commercial risk: Altarea carries only a measured amount of technical risk.
65 AltaFund is a discretionary investment fund, created in 2011, of which Altarea is one of the contributors alongside leading institutional investors.
1.1.3.2 ACTIVITY OF THE YEAR
Impact of the pandemic on the centres' businesses
The first lockdown (March 17 to May 11, 2020) disrupted activity with the shutdown of the majority of ongoing construction sites, except for the one at Richelieu, Altarea's head office, which was delivered in the second quarter, and that of Bridge in Issy-les-Moulineaux (future Orange head office), the delivery of which had to be postponed until the beginning of 2021.
New orders
Over the full year 2020, the Group placed eight transactions for a total of €161 million, including:
• 9,700 m² of offices in the large mixed-use off-plan sales project,
Bobigny-La Place, and a DPM project in the centre of Paris;
• and six off-plan sales in the Regions, including:
- "Amazing Amazones" in Nantes, as part of the EuroNantes mixed-use project, 16,200 m² of offices acquired by SCPI Accimmo Pierre (BNP REIM);
- "Gravity" in Lyon, and "La Pomone" in Aix-en-Provence, both sold to a SCPI, a subsidiary of Banque Populaire Grand Ouest;
Gravity, to be delivered at the end of 2021, is aiming for HQE Tertiary Buildings Excellent and BREEAM® Very Good certifications. La Pomone, consisting of three buildings (over 4,900 m²), is leased to the Esaip training centre and to the Nahema agency, a NATO subsidiary specialising in the development of military helicopter programs, and constitutes the first phase of the "Vert Pomone" programme.
-
and "Campus Adriana" in Marseille, a 9,600 m² building near the Gare St-Charles. This public interest project for co-working, training, catering and sports halls, will be delivered in 2022. Partially leased to EPITECH on a surface area of 2,500 m² (with Auditorium), a member of the Ionis Group, the leading private higher education group in France, this building was sold to Newton Offices.
66 Resold rented or not.
67 Through marketing, sale, asset and fund management contracts.
Pipeline 62 projects in development
At the end of 2020, the Group's pipeline consisted of 62 projects with an estimated potential value of €5.0 billion.
It includes six co-investment transactions, shared with leading institutional investors. The cost price of these projects is €2.0 billion at 100% (€638 million excl. VAT, Group share) with a potential value of over €2.6 billion (€846 million, Group share).

Deliveries
Despite the constraints linked to the pandemic, this year Altarea delivered several emblematic projects illustrating its product and geographic strategy, in particular:
• "Convergence", Danone's new global head office in Rueil-
Malmaison, NF HQE Bâtiment Tertiaire certified;
• a 46,000 m² logistics platform for Lidl near Nantes;
• et "Orange Lumière" in Lyon Part-Dieu, the new Orange campus bringing together its Lyon teams, previously spread over eighteen sites (linked with a project of 160 vacant, intermediate and social housing units built by the Group).
68 Recognized in the DPM pipeline for its contribution in euros, but not in terms of surface area and number of projects, as it is already included in co-investment operations.
In the first half of the year, Altarea also delivered its head office at 87 rue de Richelieu in Paris, a project that has won numerous awards for its exemplary restructuring (Grand Prix SIMI 2020 in particular).
In early 2021, the Group will deliver "Bridge", Orange's future headquarters in Issy-les-Moulineaux, which has just been awarded the Wired Score "Platinum" label, the highest level of distinction in terms of digital connectivity, Eria in La Défense, which will house the future Cybersecurity agency ordered by the French President, as well as Landscape in La Defense.
Supply
In 2020, the Group signed several projects in the regions, including a building for Unedic in Marseille and a restructuring project at the Haute-Borne division in Villeneuve d'Ascq. In Paris, the Group signed two DPM contracts, for the district of La Madeleine and the Landscape project in La Défense68.
Numerous transactions were under negotiation at the end of 2020. Several of them materialised at the beginning of the year and will feed the pipeline, including:
• the acquisition with JP Morgan Global Alternatives of a complex of seven office buildings totalling 14,000 m² in the central business district of Paris, which will be the subject of a restructuring program,
• a DPM project in the Champs-Elysées district in Paris.
Backlog
Backlog (Business Property) is composed of notarised sales, excl. VAT, not yet recorded per the percentage-of-completion method, new orders excl. VAT, not yet notarised (signed property development contracts), and fees to be received from third parties on signed contracts.

Consolidated results
1.2.1 2020 Consolidated results
In 2020, Altarea's revenue amounted to nearly €3.1 billion, a very slight decrease year-on-year (down 1.7%), driven by growth in Residential (+5.3%), which offset the drop in net rental income from Retail and a decline in Business property revenue (delays on construction sites and delays in delivery to 2021). Funds from operations (FFO) Group share amounted to €230.3 million in 2020 (-21%). The change in FFO breaks down as follows:
• decrease in Retail operating income of €31.6 million (including -28.6 COVID-19 impact on IFRS net rental income);
• increase in Residential operating income69 (€+7.3 million);
• decrease in Business property operating income (€-22.3 million) mainly due to delivery delays in the first half of 2021 (including Bridge, the future Orange headquarters);
• increase in tax expense (€26.8 million compared to €7.3 million in 2019);
• other income and expenses (interest expenses, minority interests, etc.) for €+3.3 million.
FFO in Group share amounted to €13.48 per share (-24.6%), after taking into account the capital increase resulting from the FCPE and the payment of the 2019 dividend in securities.

69 In order to best reflect the economic contribution of its managed residences business, Altarea decided to restate the positive impact of IFRS 16 on its contribution to the FFO, for an amount of €-7.5 million euros (vs. €-5.7 million in 2019) in exchange for the increase in Changes in value, estimated expenses and transaction costs, thus reducing FFO operating income accordingly.

The decrease in FFO Retail was partly due to changes in the scope of consolidation (€-8.8 million) but above all to the impact of the health crisis on rent collection (€-28.6 million), which was only partially offset by the tax credit (€+2.7 million in Group share) and a tight grip on overheads (€+4.6 million).
The corporate income tax increase is the consequence of the transfer of Italian assets completed in the first half of 2020.

Percentage-of-completion revenue in Residential reached a new all-time high (+5.4%) despite the context, as the commercial completion rate (sales) offset delays in technical progress due to the spring lockdown.
70 Funds from operations (FFO): net profit excluding changes in value, calculated expenses, transaction fees and changes in differed tax. Group share.
Excluding marketing expenses, the margin decreased by 130 bps reflecting the increased proportion of bloc sales recognised on a percentage-of-completion revenue basis. This decrease in the margin was, however, partially offset by a sharp decrease in marketing expenses, mainly for Retail sales. In total, the decrease in margin after marketing expenses was restricted to -70 bps.
Helped by rigorous management of overheads (€-10.9 million), Residential operating income rose +4.3%. Compared to percentage-of-completion revenue, Residential operating margin was stable at 7.4%.
The decrease in FFO Residential is entirely attributable to the increase in tax (€12.5 million) and the increase in the cost of carrying the significant liquidity from which the Property Development division benefits (particularly the bond issues carried out in 2020).
FFO Business property
The revenue model of the Business property division is particularly diversified:
• net property income generated by development projects (PDC and Off-plan sales);
• external services: DPM, asset management, leasing and performance (promote) fees;
• and contribution from equity-method associates: profits made on partnership investment projects.

Net property income was up sharply to €22.0 million despite a decrease in revenue, thanks to a project mix with a higher average margin (particularly in the Regions).
The contribution of equity-method affiliates was down sharply due in part to the strong level of activity in 2019 (notably at 87 rue de Richelieu) but above all to delays in several projects, which will be delivered during the first half of 2021 (Bridge, the future Orange headquarters).
In addition, the rigorous management of overheads (saving €5.7 million) failed to offset a reduction in fees and increase in taxes.
In total, FFO Business Property amounted to €32.0 million, down by €33.4 million.
FFO per share: €13.48
FFO Group share amounted to €13.48 per share, a 24.6% fall year-on-year (vs €17.88 per share on 31 December 2019).
This change takes into account the dilutive effect linked to the payment of the 2019 dividend in shares ex-dividend in July 2020) which led to the creation of 599,267 new shares, and the 40,166 shares created by the capital increase reserved for the Group employees' fund (FCPE). As of 31 December 2020, the average number of diluted shares (pro rata temporis) was 17,078,854, compared with 16,393,262 at the end of 2019.

CHANGE IN GOING CONCERN NAV (FULLY DILUTED)
At the end of 2020, NAV was down to €2,702.7 million (-8.5%), or €156.4/share (-11.5%). This decrease is mainly due to the impairment loss on Retail assets (€351 million in Group share).
The appraisal value of the Property Development division was up sharply at 31 December 2020. Out of prudence, Altarea decided to keep the enterprise value of this division stable.72 in order to preserve its ability to maintain positive momentum in its NAV over the long-term.

CALCULATION BASIS
Asset valuation
Investment properties
Property assets appear at their appraisal value in the Group's IFRS statements (Investment properties).
Retail assets are assessed by Cushman & Wakefield and Jones Lang LaSalle. The value of the portfolio breaks down by appraiser as follows:
Appraiser
Jones Lang LaSalle Cushman & Wakefield CBRE
Portfolio
France & International France & International France
% of value, incl. transfer duties
42% 57% 1%
72 This is well above the average of the low scenario appraisal values. Keeping the enterprise value stable leads to a slight gain in NAV due to the decrease in the debt allocated to this activity.
The appraisers use two methods:
• discounting cash flows (DCF method), with resale value at the end of the period;
• capitalisation of net rental income, based on a rate of return that includes the site's characteristics and rental income (also including variable rent and market rent of vacant premises, adjusted for all charges incumbent upon the owner).
These valuations are conducted in accordance with the criteria set out in the Red Book - Appraisal and Valuation Standards, published by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors. The surveyors' assignments were all carried out in accordance with the recommendations of the COB/AMF "Barthès de Ruyter working group" and comply fully with the instructions of the Appraisal Charter of Real Estate Valuation (Charte de l'Expertise en Évaluation Immobilière) updated in 2017. Surveyors are paid lump-sum compensation based on the size and complexity of the appraised properties. Compensation is therefore totally independent of the results of the valuation assessment.
Other assets
The unrealised capital gains on other assets consist of:
• the Residential and Business property development divisions
(Cogedim, Pitch Promotion, Histoire & Patrimoine and Severini);
• the Business property investment division (AltaFund, Bridge and the Issy Cœur de Ville offices);
• and the Rental Management and Retail Property Development division (Altarea France).
These assets are appraised once per year by external appraisers on annual closing: Altarea France is valued by Accuracy, the Property Development division (Residential and Business property) and the Business property Investment division are valued by appraisers Accuracy and 8Advisory.
The method used by Accuracy uses the discounted cash flow method (DCF) in conjunction with a terminal value based on normalised cash flow. Accuracy provides a range of values calculated using different scenarios. In addition to its DCF valuation, Accuracy also provides a valuation based on listed peer group comparables.
8Advisory uses a multi-criteria DCF-based approach, an approach using multiples from listed peer Group and multiples from comparable transactions when these can be based on relevant transactions.
Tax
Most of Altarea's Property Portfolio is not subject to capital gains tax under the SIIC regime. The exceptions are a limited number of assets which are not SIIC-eligible due to their ownership method, and assets owned outside France. For these assets, capital gains taxes on disposals are deducted directly from the consolidated financial statements at the standard tax rate in the host country, based on the difference between the market value and taxes value of the property assets.
Altarea took into account the ownership methods of non-SIIC assets to determine Going Concern NAV after tax, since the tax reflects the tax that would effectively be paid if the securities of the company were sold or if the assets were sold building by building.
Transfer taxes
Investment properties have been recognised in the IFRS consolidated financial statements at appraisal value excluding transfer taxes. To calculate Going Concern NAV, however, transfer duties were added back in the same amount. In Altarea's NNNAV, duties are deducted either on the basis of a transfer of securities or building by building based on the legal status of the organisation holding the asset.
Partners' share
The partners' share represents the maximum dilution provided for under the Group's Articles of Association in the case of liquidation by a partner (where the General Partner would be granted 120,000 shares).

In July and October, Altareit placed respectively €80 million and €70 million in bonds assimilated to the Altareit 2.875% 07/2025 issue, bringing the total nominal outstanding of this line to €500 million.
In December 2020, Altarea issued a bond of €300 million maturing in nine years (16 January 2030), with an annual coupon of 1.75% and a zero new issue premium. The order book totalled more than €2.5 billion, i.e. an over-subscription rate of around 8.5 times.
The success of this transaction, which enabled Altarea to extend the duration and lower the average cost of its debt, reflects the market's confidence in Altarea's strategy and its long-term credit profile.
The net proceeds of this bond issue made it possible to finance the buyback, through a public offer launched on 7 December 2020, of €114.5 million of Altarea bonds maturing in July 2024 with an annual coupon of 2.25%.
At the end of December, Altarea also repaid early the full amount of the Alta Qwartz mortgage loan due in July 2025 for an amount of €208 million.
Equity strengthened by €69 million
With a subscription rate of 82.28%, the success of the option for the partial payment of the scrip dividend (at €9.00/share) enabled the Group to strengthen its equity by €61.4 million through the creation of 508,199 new shares.
In addition, the Group's employee investment fund (FCPE) subscribed for a reserved capital increase of €7.6 million73, thereby demonstrating the commitment of Altarea's employees.
73 Average subscription of €5,110 per employee subscribing.
74 Revolving credit facilities (confirmed credit authorisations).
1.3.2 Available cash
At 31 December 2020, Altarea had available liquidity of €3,378 million (€2,659 million at 31 December 2019), broken down as follows:

Given the Group's liquidity and the continued access to the market in the short-term, as of 31 December 2020 no RCF was drawn. The Group has no plans to draw on them in the coming months.
1.3.3 Short and medium-term financing
The Group has two NEU CP75 programmes (issues up to one year) and two NEU MTN76 programmes (issues in excess of one year) for the companies Altarea and Altareit.
As of 31 December 2020, the total outstanding was €653 million with an average maturity of 4.3 months, with the following breakdown:

1.3.6 Financial ratings or ratios
BBB credit rating
In May 2020, after a sector review, the S&P Global rating agency assigned a financial rating of "BBB, with a negative outlook" to Altarea and Altareit, its listed subsidiary for the Group's development activities.
Loan to Value (LTV)
The LTV ratio compares consolidated net bond and bank debt to the consolidated market value of Group assets.
At 31 December 2020, it stood at 33.0% (33.2% at 31 December 2019), with the decrease in net debt (€-282 million) having fully offset the impact of Retail impairment losses.
Concerning the appraisal of the value of the Property Development division, this was up sharply at 31 December 2020. Out of prudence, Altarea decided to keep the enterprise value of this division stable.
