CEO, F. SCOTT BALL:

In 2023, Citycon continued to demonstrate the strength of its strategy and portfolio as all operational metrics (sales, footfall, rents, occupancy, collections) continue to show sustained growth. Importantly, like-for-like net rental income grew 6.5 % and standing net rental income with comparable FX rate increased 6.0 % in 2023 compared to the previous year. The strong operational performance reflects the stability of our necessity-based centres focused on serving as a centre for the community as well as a last mile logistics hub for delivery of grocery, municipal, and other services. Our properties also possess excellent access to public transportation and locations in the strongest and fast-growing cities in the Nordics.

For the year, like-for-like tenant sales increased by 3.4% and footfall 1.8% compared to the previous year. Notably, tenant sales are already 9.2% above 2019 levels. At the same time, we experienced strong demand for our centres from both new and existing tenants, as evidenced by our leasing activity with over 132,000 sq.m. of signed leases in 2023, resulting in retail occupancy of 96.0%. Average rent per square meter with comparable FX increased by 1.6 EUR to 24.0 EUR/s.qm. during the year again highlighting the quality and attractiveness of Citycon´s grocery- and municipal-anchored centres and their resilience in a variable market conditions. The rent collection rate remained strong at 99 % for 2023 which reflects the high quality and creditworthiness of Citycon’s tenants.

Despite the strong operational result, currencies continued to impact our reported figures. During the year, there has been adverse volatility of the NOK and SEK, which are at twenty-year lows. FX rates had EUR 10.2 million negative impact on our direct operating result in 2023. However, these currencies began to strengthen in the latter part of the year, which, if this trend continues, would provide a tailwind to our operations.

Likewise yield expansion significantly impacted the book value of our assets creating a paper loss for 2023. However, this was at least partially offset by actual cash proceeds due to the tremendous rent growth occurring in our assets. Now that spreads have begun to tighten, we anticipate that yields should follow, which provides an additional tailwind for us in 2024. Speaking of asset values, we are in final stages to take over the remaining interest in Kista Galleria in Stockholm, Sweden by assuming the seller’s share of existing debt and a minimal cash payment (EUR 2.5 million). After the transaction, Citycon will have 100% ownership of the centre and that will have approx. EUR 70 million positive effect on our total asset value in Q1 as the transaction is expected to be executed during the first quarter of the year.

Looking to our balance sheet, Citycon continued its credit actions to strengthen its investment grade balance sheet. As previously noted, we refinanced and expanded our credit facility in April from EUR 500 million to EUR 650 million, consisting of a EUR 400 million revolver and EUR 250 million term loan. In total, Citycon repurchased EUR 191 million of notional bonds in 2023 through a tender offer from the open market by using approx. EUR 184 million of cash, taking advantage of discounts and dislocation in  secondary trading. Furthermore, in Q4 we signed an approx. SEK 1 020 million 7-year mortgage loan secured by one of our Swedish assets, providing evidence that the secured loan market is functioning well. Additionally, the loan provided liquidity to improve our maturity schedule and our balance sheet as the proceeds from the term loan were used to refinance the company’s near-term maturities.

In November and December, we successfully completed two hybrid/equity exchanges where in total EUR 25 million notionals of hybrid bonds were repurchased by issuing new shares. We repurchased the hybrid bonds at a discount compared to the nominal value in exchange for equity at the market value. This transaction highlights our commitment to maintain our investment grade credit rating. In total, we retired EUR 87 million of hybrid debt in 2023. We are pleased that all these credit actions, which continue to mitigate the earnings impact of higher current market interest rates, while also improving our overall balance sheet, were recognized by S&P, who reaffirmed Citycon’s investment grade rating with stable outlook. As evidenced by our actions in 2023, further strengthening our balance sheet and credit metrics is for us a top priority.

Looking ahead to 2024, we are well positioned with a proven stable business model that has performed well regardless of macroeconomic pressures.  This is enhanced by the fact that 93% of our leases are linked to indexation which will further compound in 2024. Notably, our mix of high credit tenants are less reliant on consumer discretionary spending, which provides significant stability, which is reflected in our results.

While we have been able to grow rents due to indexation, the fact that sales have continued to grow means our occupancy cost ratio remains very low (9.5%). This positions Citycon to have compounding rent growth with additional indexation without jeopardizing our tenants’ ability to continue to run profitable businesses.  It is also important to note that, following the completion of the residential towers in Lippulaiva in Q1/2023, we have minimal committed capital expenditures in 2024.

Given the stabilization of interest rates and the sizable amount of capital looking for investment opportunities, we anticipate a significant increase in activity in the transaction market in 2024. Based on this expectation we are increasing our previously disclosed divestment target by the end of 2024 with a target of EUR 950 million over the next 24 months. Citycon owns some of the best, most urban, large fortress assets in the Nordics. The 12 largest assets (out of 33) make up approx. 80% of the value of our total assets. We will focus our efforts on these largest properties that offer a much stronger growth trajectory and divest the remaining properties.

Further, the following actions will be taken in 2024:

  1. Focus on core assets in core markets resulting in the sale of EUR 950 million of assets over the next 24 months.
  2. Expense management to offset increase in finance cost, including:
  • Consolidating all corporate functions to suburban Helsinki.
  • Reduce G&A overhead to annual run rate less than 10% of NRI by year-end 2024.
  • Reduction of operating expenses to offset sharp increase in energy price.
  • Significant reduction of capex from EUR 96 million in 2023 to approx. EUR 30 million in 2024.

The completion of current major projects including:                     

  • In Myyrmanni, the opening of 7,300 sq.m. Prisma which results in the centre being practically fully leased with approx. 60% of tenant mix dedicated to grocery.
  • In Rocca al Mare, we are underway with the addition of the Selver grocery store as well as an 1,800 sq.m. gym. These will open by August 2024.
  • In Iso Omena, we will open the first Nike Rise concept store in Finland.
  • In Albertslund centrum in Copenhagen, we will open a Lidl grocery store in summer 2024.

Taken together, these factors give us confidence that 2024 results will continue to build on our solid performance in 2023.  Our guidance reflects the benefit from inflation as indexation pushes our rents higher. As a result, our estimated outlook is for 2024 direct operating profit to be in range EUR 185–203 million, EPRA EPS EUR 0.62–0.74 and adjusted EPRA EPS EUR 0.46–0.58.

Shanghai honors 50 expats with Magnolia Silver Awards

Published

shanghai-honors-50-expats-with-magnolia-silver-awards

SHANGHAI, Nov. 28, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — A news report from russian.shanghai.gov.cn: 

Shanghai presented its annual Magnolia Silver Award to 50 outstanding expats from 18 countries on Nov 23, recognizing their significant contributions to the city’s development and international exchanges.

The ceremony took place at the Grand Halls on the northern end of the Bund, with Kong Fu‘an, director-general of the Foreign Affairs Office of Shanghai Municipal People’s Government, conferring the medals and certificates to the recipients.

In his address, Kong emphasized Shanghai’s status as an international, innovative, and inclusive city that has taken the lead in achieving Chinese-style modernization. He highlighted the vital roles that expats, foreign-invested enterprises, and foreign institutions play in the city, noting that they have been “not only witnesses, but also active participants and contributors.”

This year’s award recipients come from diverse fields such as trade, finance, technology, shipping, healthcare, education, culture, sports, and agriculture. Among those honored was Pietro Brambilla from Italy, North Asia chief financial officer at L’Oreal China. Brambilla has spearheaded L’Oreal’s investment and development in Shanghai, helping the Chinese market become the company’s largest globally. He has also contributed to creating a market-oriented, law-based, and international business environment in the city.

Professor Marc Delpech from France, a representative of the awardees, shared his experiences contributing to Sino-French medical cooperation over three decades. As the coordinator of the French-language training program for medical students at Shanghai Jiao Tong University and currently vice-dean of the Sino-French School of Medicine at the university, Delpech emphasized the enduring and expanding friendship between China and France. He noted that his predecessor, Professor Guy Vincendon, received the Shanghai Magnolia Silver Award in 2003, highlighting the continuity and strength of their bilateral medical and educational relationship.

Another awardee, Carlo D’Andrea, chief representative of Studio Legale DAndrea, has helped many foreign companies settle in China, particularly in Shanghai. The Italian lawyer praised Shanghai as “the best location to do business in China“, especially in the fields of new technology and high tech. He highlighted Shanghai’s commitment to deepening reform and opening-up, which gives the city “a lot of potentials to be unleashed”.

D’Andrea valued the direct access to the city’s leadership, noting that each year, the Shanghai mayor meets with international business leaders to seek advice, feedback, and ideas for better development of the city. “I had the opportunity to meet many times with the mayor and the vice-mayor to discuss how we can attract more European investment into Shanghai,” he said. “I like this kind of opportunities where you have direct access to the leadership, because the exchange of ideas and exchange of opinion is the best way in order to have a better future together.”

Shanghai began awarding the Magnolia Silver Award to expats in 1989, later introducing the Magnolia Gold Award and Honorary Citizenship in 1992 and 1997, respectively. Over the past 35 years, 1,877 expats have received these honors, underscoring the city’s appreciation for their contributions.

24 Exchange Receives SEC Approval of its New National Securities Exchange, “24X National Exchange”

Published

24X National Exchange Plans to be the First Exchange to Offer U.S. Equities Trading 23 Hours-Per-Day on Weekdays

STAMFORD, Conn., Nov. 27, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — 24 Exchange announced today that it has received approval from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to operate 24X National Exchange as the first national securities exchange in the U.S. that allows trading of U.S. securities 23 hours each workday. The extended hour trading is subject to Equity Data Plans making changes that would facilitate overnight trading hours and 24X National Exchange making an additional rule filing with the SEC confirming the changes and the Exchange’s ability to comply with the Securities Exchange Act.

24X National Exchange will be subject to the SEC’s ongoing regulatory oversight and full range of investor protections. The new Exchange will enable retail and institutional customers anywhere in the world to trade in U.S. equities via broker-dealers who are approved members of 24X National Exchange. 

24X National Exchange will be launched in two stages. A first stage will open in the second half of 2025, with the Exchange operating from 4:00AM ET to 7:00PM ET on weekdays. The second stage, which will launch once the conditions noted above are met, will offer trading in U.S. equities from 8:00PM ET on Sunday through 7:00PM ET on Friday. A one-hour operational pause will occur during each trading day to accommodate routine software upgrades and functionality testing.

24 Exchange CEO and Founder Dmitri Galinov said: “The SEC’s approval of our new exchange is a thrilling development that the 24X Team has been working toward for many years. Traders are most at-risk when the market is closed in their geographic location. 24X National Exchange will seek to alleviate this problem by facilitating around-the-clock U.S. equities trading for broker-dealers and their institutional and retail customers.”

As the first national securities exchange approved by the SEC to operate 23 hours each weekday, subject to the conditions noted above, 24X National Exchange will initially focus on capturing the expanding demand in the APAC region for overnight liquidity in U.S. equities.

The 24X National Exchange will run on a proven, state-of-the-art technology platform provided by MEMX Technologies. The new Exchange’s executive team will place a high priority on enhancing client experience through continuous technology innovations and improvements.

“With this historic SEC approval in place, we will build and operate a customer-driven Exchange that can rapidly align with market demands and adapt quickly to client feedback,” Galinov added. “We look forward to bringing a superior trading experience to global customers. 24X National Exchange will deliver the cost efficiency, speed, resilience, and adaptability that the company’s financial institutional customers have long come to expect.”

24X National Exchange will close on U.S. market holidays, similar to the schedules maintained by the NYSE and Nasdaq.

24 Exchange through 24X Bermuda Limited, an affiliate of 24X National Exchange, will continue to offer FX NDFs, Swaps and Spot trading to institutional clients. Since its launch in 2019, 24 Exchange’s multi-asset offering through a single trading interface has enabled clients to access increased liquidity at lower cost.
