AI Hesitation in IP: 80% of Professionals Under Pressure, but Most Still Not Convinced by AI's Transformative Power
A new research report from RWS reveals that while 80% of IP professionals face mounting pressure to boost revenues and reduce costs, few are leveraging AI's potential to transform their future.
According to 79% of respondents in RWS's report ' Why it's time for IP to think bigger with AI,' concerns around accuracy and reliability remain the biggest barrier to adoption. Additionally, 62% cite security and data protection as the second biggest barrier.
The report – which involved in-depth interviews with 312 global IP professionals across legal firms and corporates in 33 countries - investigates industry attitudes and expectations around AI and how professionals are embracing AI as part of their strategies.
'The IP sector has adopted a cautious approach to embracing AI,' said James Lacey, SVP at RWS. 'However, a number of IP professionals have identified that, when AI is combined with human expertise, it can reshape how IP teams operate, scale and deliver value.'
While only 34% of IP professionals have actively moved into operational or regular use of AI, several use cases have emerged from their adoption. These include using AI for 'filing ready' patent translations, patent drafting, patent database optimization and patent / trademark prosecution.
Interestingly almost one in ten (8%) of those questioned describe themselves as having no interest in or plans for AI. And when asked the expected benefits of AI, efficiencies, better automation and productivity were singled out by IP professionals.

WPC Ushers in Next Generation of Faster Wireless Charging
First Certified 25W Devices Announced WASHINGTON, July 23, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Technological advancements are enabling the Wireless Power Consortium (WPC) to launch a new, faster charging version of its Qi standard – Qi v2.2.1 – which will be branded as Qi2 25W. In addition to Apple iPhone, major Android smartphones will join the Qi2 ecosystem for the first time with this launch. Fourteen devices, receivers, and transmitters completed Qi2 25W certification testing in a limited launch last week. Full-scale certification testing is now open to several hundred devices waiting in the queue to be tested. "The momentum building behind the next stage in the evolution of the Qi standard is incredible," said Fady Mishriki, chair of the WPC's Board of Directors. "Consumers will be delighted when they experience Qi2 25W as it delivers nearly 70% more power than the original Qi2. The number of devices in the Qi2 25W certification queue for launch is unprecedented, as is the quality and breadth of our members' product designs." Faster wireless charging is the number one consumer-requested feature to improve wireless charging satisfaction, according to WPC market research. Qi2 was a big step in addressing consumer interest in faster charging when it was launched in November 2023 with 15 watts of charging power. Prior to Qi2, several smartphone manufacturers had developed their own proprietary fast charging protocols. However, devices using these protocols may lack interoperability and consistent charge times. Qi2 25W is the first standard to enable truly high-speed Qi Certified wireless charging. "When we launched Qi2, besides the immediate improvement in charging speed and energy efficiency, we promised that one of the benefits of Qi2's magnetic power protocol was that it would serve as a stepping stone for even faster and more efficient wireless charging in the future," said Paul Struhsaker, Executive Director of the WPC. "Qi2 25W's remarkably fast and efficient wireless charging will encourage increased penetration of wireless charging usage and accelerate the adoption of the new standard." The WPC introduced Qi2 nearly two years ago to certify a wide range of smartphones to provide enhanced speed, user experience, and convenience. Customers love the magnetic attach experience and the large ecosystem of compatible accessories they can use with their smartphones. Within a year of its introduction, there were over 1.5 billion certified Qi2 devices, transmitters and receivers in the market globally. About the Wireless Power Consortium The Wireless Power Consortium (WPC) is the prevailing standards organization for wireless power applications worldwide, representing more than 300 member companies. Since its founding in 2008, the WPC has provided consumers and manufacturers with a vision of wireless power that is convenient, safe, and efficient while ensuring standardized testing offers products that are certificated and interoperable. The Qi standard, with its current Qi2 and Qi2 25W versions, is the global standard for wireless charging of mobile, handheld electronic devices. The WPC is continuously developing new standards for wireless power applications including the Ki Cordless Kitchen standard for kitchen appliances.

Gecina: Earnings at June 30, 2025
PARIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Regulatory News: Gecina (Paris:GFC): | Key takeaways When more companies are increasingly encouraging employees to return to the office, they prioritize 'better office square meters' (more central, more prime, more green) Our strategy is built to align our portfolio with what matters most to our clients In H1 2025, the Group made strategic investment decisions totaling €1.3 billion to transform our portfolio toward more prime offices in central areas, laying the groundwork for future value creation: ‒ Divestment of c. €750m of mature residential properties, including our mature student housing portfolio for €538m (excl. duties at a 3.9% rental loss rate). ‒ Simultaneous acquisition of a prime office complex in Paris CBD for €435m (incl. duties), and a c.€40m capex plan on the main building targeting a 6.3% yield-on-cost. ‒ Three ongoing flagship projects from our accretive office pipeline (Quarter, Les Arches du Carreau, Mirabeau), all in our clients' preferred locations, with anticipated annual rental income of €80–90 million. This clear strategy is delivering strong operational results: ‒ Leasing up to record heights underscoring our prime office leadership with 94,600 sq.m let or renewed in H1 2025 across all geographies, already exceeding the full-year 2024 total. ‒ +9% rental uplift achieved, driven by sustained rent growth in core office markets (+29% in Paris CBD). ‒ Group occupancy rate improved +60bp vs end-2024, sustained by the leasing performance. ‒ Major pre-leasing successes: (1) 27 Canal pre-let to the digital division of a top-tier French retailer ahead of H2-2025 delivery (74% of the asset); (2) 162 Faubourg Saint-Honoré: 3,300 sq.m fully pre-let at prime CBD rents to a consultancy (+87% rental uplift). ‒ Acceleration of Residential leasing, with services now deployed across all large assets (covering c. 70% of the Parisian portfolio), and c. 700 leases signed in H1 2025 (already above the full-year 2024 total); +14% rental uplift achieved on Parisian residential assets. And improved Gecina's main metrics: ‒ Robust cash flow momentum, with a Recurrent net income (Group share) per share up +6.4% from H1 2024 (€3.38 per share vs €3.18 in H1 2024), supported by overall gross rental income up +4.9% (current, €359.9m), with +3.8% like-for-like (+0.6pts above indexation, including the impact of rental uplift as well as of a better occupancy). ‒ Asset values up +1.6% over the past six months, mainly driven by value gains in central locations (where the investment market is progressively reopening to large scale transactions and international capital is returning). This has contributed to a +1.1% increase in EPRA NTA since year-end 2024. ‒ Resilient LTV of 33.6% including duties, and 34.9% taking into account transactions under preliminary agreement (mainly Rocher-Vienne acquisition). The Group benefits from a low and stable average cost of drawn debt at 1.2%, alongside an optimized hedging profile that ensures long-term visibility (100% of 2025–2026 maturities are hedged, and 85% of maturities through 2029 are covered). Recurrent net income (Group share) is now expected to grow by +3.6% to +4.4 % for the whole 2025 year, at the upper end of the guidance range (between €6.65 and €6.70 per share). | Beñat Ortega, CEO: 'In the first half of the year, we achieved remarkable milestones that underscore the strength of our strategy: prime in quality, central in location, and green by design and operations. This positioning, in the right place at the right time, enabled us to deliver outstanding leasing performance across both business lines. We secured 94,600 sq.m of office space, already exceeding our full-year 2024 activity, and signed nearly 700 residential leases. Alongside this, we completed the disposal of our mature student housing portfolio and executed the strategic acquisition of a major office complex in Paris CBD. These decisive actions reinforce our core fundamentals and lay solid foundations for future growth'. Strategy aligned with client expectations Increased demand for 'better square meters' by tenants in the context of 'return to the office': ‒ More central – prioritizing transportation hubs and seamless access (benefiting from the world's second-largest public transit network), as well as vibrant, mixed-use neighborhoods offering dining, sports, and culture options. ‒ More prime – enhancing the workplace experience to make the office more attractive than home, through high-quality design, a smart balance between collaborative and individual spaces, and a strong service offering. ‒ More green – with a growing emphasis on sustainable, energy-efficient buildings. This clear strategy is delivering results. Recurrent net income up +6.4% Recurrent net income up +6.4%, reflecting the ongoing optimization of all key performance drivers and supporting the Group's sustained cash-flow generation. Robust rental growth across the portfolio, driven by indexation, rental reversion in core locations, and the contribution of 2024 deliveries, more than offsetting the impact of recent asset transfers to the development pipeline and the disposal of mature residential assets in early 2025. Continued cost base optimization, resulting in a +0.5pt improvement in the rental margin. Salary and administrative expenses remained stable in H1 2025, while digital initiatives helped streamline back-office operations and refocus teams on client services, engineering, and development expertise. Low cost of debt maintained, with a technical increase due to the reduced impact of capitalized interest in H1 2025 (following the delivery of major pipeline assets in H2 2024, leading to a temporary decline in capitalized interest, while the contribution from newly launched projects is reflected gradually in the P&L over the coming months). Sound operational performance in an ever-polarized market | Like-for-like basis: gross rental income up +3.8% (+€11.8m) Rental income up +3.8% vs H1 2024, reflecting the combined impact of indexation (+3.2%) – though continuing to decelerate with a lagged effect on rents – and rental uplift, increase in occupancy and other effects contributing an additional +0.6%. Offices: like-for-like rental income growth of +4.1% (+€10.9m) still fueled by indexation (+3.4%), with 90% of office leases indexed against the ILAT (latest ILAT published at 1.6% in June 2025, after 2.7% in March 2025 and 3.8% in December 2024), and occupancy. Sustained rental uplift continues to support growth, averaging +9% on new leases and renewals, with standout performances of +25% in Paris and as high as +29% in the Central Business District, reflecting the strong polarization of the market and the significant reversion potential on prime assets in central locations (78% of the office portfolio is concentrated in Paris/Neuilly), and where supply of sought-after assets remains limited. The uplift also includes operated offices deals achieving 30% to 35% above market rental values. Housing: like-for-like rental income growth of +2.0% (+€0.9m), driven by indexation and the solid rental uplift (+14% average in Paris during H1 2025) reflecting the successful deployment of the multi-offering strategy with serviced-enhanced housing solutions in line with evolving market needs. | Current basis: gross rental income up +4.9% (+€16.8m) On top of the impact of like-for-like rental growth (+3.8%), current rental income was supported upwards by the impact of the major 2024 and H1 2025 deliveries (Mondo, Capucines, Porte Sud, Icône: +€15.2m), which more than offset the transfer to the pipeline or renovation programs of several office assets (Mirabeau, Les Arches du Carreau, Malakoff, 162 Faubourg Saint-Honoré: -€6.9m), as well as the disposal of mature residential assets in 2024 or H1 2025 (Saint-Gilles, Sibuet, Bel Air, Py: -€3.2m). | Focus on offices: leasing at record heights The return to the office is progressively reflected in data (3.5 days/week in office in Paris, well ahead of Singapore & NYC (c. 3.0) or Sydney, London and Toronto (c. 2.7)). In this context, companies are focused on well-located, modern, and collaborative work environments, irreplaceable to foster creativity, collaboration, and well-being. Major pre-leasing successes: (1) 27 Canal (development pipeline): 11,500 sq.m (74% of the asset) pre-let to the digital division of a top-tier French retailer ahead of H2-2025 delivery, in a Paris North-East submarket where pre-leasing is not standard; (2) 162 Faubourg Saint-Honoré (CBD asset under renovation, to be delivered in H2 2026): 3,300 sq.m fully pre-let at prime CBD rents to a consultancy, with +87% rental uplift. Strong overall leasing performance across all geographies (94,600 sq.m, c. €48m of annual rent), already exceeding full-year 2024, corresponding to the first leases on restructured assets (15% of the total), new leases (39%) and renewals (46%): ‒ Paris: 45,300 sq.m let (48% of the total, c. €31m of annual rent) representing 42 deals for an average maturity of 7 years, including the two above-mentioned pre-leasing deals and renewals with Christie's or Herbert Smith. ‒ Core Western Crescent: 16,600 sq.m let (18% of the total, c. €8m of annual rent) representing 7 deals for an average maturity of 6 years, including major clients signed up and renewed (Mondelez on Sources and Renault on Horizons in Boulogne-Billancourt, Streem Interservices on Octant-Sextant in Levallois-Perret, Thésée on Be Issy in Issy-les-Moulineaux). ‒ Other locations (including Peri-Défense, inner rim and regions): 32,700 sq.m (35% of the total, c. €9m of annual rent) representing 11 deals, including renegotiations or new-lease to secure occupancy in Peri-Défense assets and in Lyon. Progressive deployment of the operated offices business model on 12 central assets (9,000 sq.m) representing an annual rent of €9.0m, achieving >30% premiums (net) on market rents. | Focus on housing: diversified offering strategy delivering benefits Significant acceleration in leasing activity on the housing portfolio, with nearly 700 leases signed in H1 — already way above the full-year 2024 total — and a monthly leasing pace that has doubled year-over-year. Average rental uplift in Paris is +14%. From groundwork to execution: transformation of our operating model is underway, with all major assets now equipped with amenities such as fitness and coworking spaces (covering 11 assets, i.e., c. 70% of the Parisian portfolio) and approximately 600 apartments upgraded with more flexible layouts, modern designs, and furniture. Performance highlighting the strength of our multi-offering strategy (unfurnished family apartments, turnkey single-bedroom flats, shared apartments) in a structurally under-supplied market – meeting the needs of students, young urban professionals, corporates, and families who seek to live close to where they work, study, and socialize, with great connectivity to the rest of the city. | Rental margin up +0.5pts Group Offices Residential Rental margin at June 30, 2024 91.3% 93.6% 81.0% Rental margin at June 30, 2025 91.8% 94.0% 81.0% Expand Rental margin increase on a current basis, driven by the contribution of large, fully let, 2024-delivered office assets (+0.4pts on the rental margin on the office side) and the optimization of the service charge structure within the student housing portfolio (held until end of June 2025). Conversely, on the residential side, a more gradual occupancy ramp-up for recent deliveries (Wood'Up, Dareau, Arsenal) has slightly weighed on the rental margin performance in this segment, with the rental margin flat overall on the residential portfolio. | Occupancy continuously up +60bps since year-end 2024 Average occupancy up +60bps since year-end 2024, underscoring sound dynamics (93.4% at year-end 2024, 93.6% at March 31 and 94.0% at June 30) due to: ‒ Office portfolio occupancy reached its highest level since September 2019, driven by the record performance in central locations. This strong momentum more than offsets temporary vacancies in the Southern Loop (Boulogne), where several leases (originally signed around the same period) are maturing concurrently. Recent leasing successes, totaling 38,000 sq.m since 2023 (new leases and renewals), highlight sustained demand in this submarket. To further differentiate these assets in a competitive environment, the Group has launched an innovative initiative (FEAT – Pont de Sèvres), offering distinctive design, enhanced services, and best-in-class CSR performance. ‒ Residential occupancy also showed solid progress, reaching 93.1% up 80bps over the past three months, returning to its year-end 2024 level and positioned for additional improvement. This improvement reflects the transition to the execution phase of the transformation plan and the gradual reduction of strategic vacancies. The multi-offering approach, including the conversion of units into one-bedroom apartments, shared accommodation, redesigned family units, and the integration of shared services, is now starting to yield tangible results. Capital allocation & portfolio strategy | Major capital allocation decisions (€1.3bn) demonstrating the Group's unique know-how Disposal of a mature student housing portfolio (€538m excl. duties) with a rent loss rate of 3.9% and reflecting a 23% premium over the latest valuation prior to the transaction. This portfolio, comprising 20 operational assets and 2 developments, illustrates a long-term value creation story initiated in 2007, showcasing Gecina's integrated expertise in delivering sustained operational performance through to portfolio maturity (investment, development, asset and property management). Acquisition of a prime office complex (€435m incl. duties) in the heart of the Paris CBD, strategically located near the Saint-Lazare transport hub, with exceptional connectivity. The asset is set to be repositioned as a new flagship business center (6.3% yield-on-cost on the building to reposition), offering a compelling financial profile: accretive to recurrent net income in the short term (on the already fully let building), with long-term value creation secured and a double-digit IRR exceeding the Group's cost of capital. Well-timed execution on both fronts to immediately reallocate the capital and expand our core Parisian office portfolio: the disposal capitalized on strong market appetite for a cohesive operator/property platform, while the acquisition was secured at an opportune moment (early in the reopening phase of the investment market for large-scale transactions) to strengthen the Group's footprint in prime, central offices. Clear demonstration of Gecina's in-house market expertise, as well as execution capabilities, from sourcing and funding transactions without financing contingencies to managing complex repositioning projects and long-term value creation, while delivering assets aligned with evolving market expectations. | Preparing a prime repositioning for the T1 Tower Ongoing discussions to monitor lease maturity with Engie, currently set for June 2027. Should the client wish to benefit from flexibility for an early exit (depending on the progress of the company's relocation to its new head office) an early termination would be possible, subject to a termination fee calculated based on the remaining lease duration. Close coordination with the tenant will continue over the coming months to adapt to their evolving needs. Repositioning the tower as a prime asset to stand out, leveraging the building's strong fundamentals: a modern construction (2008), strategic location in La Défense – a growing transport and commercial hub – efficient floorplates, four trading floors minimum, and no asbestos. The strategic repositioning plan aims to create a prime tower with optimized investment (facade retained, selective upgrades to technical equipment, enhanced service offerings and modern redesign of the shared areas – estimated work program c. €140 million). No new or refurbished large prime office spaces are expected before 2027–2028, creating a favorable future supply-demand dynamic in La Défense (the 180,000 sq.m of new/restructured space to date is expected to be progressively absorbed, with only 7,000 sq.m and 6,000 sq.m of additional space of this kind forecast for 2026 and 2027, respectively). Once repositioned, the tower would only represent nearly half of the average annual take-up for new or restructured supply in La Défense, and a third of the overall annual take-up on this market (2020–2024). Marketing already underway, offering strong optionality in leasing strategies (single-tenant lease, multiple large tenants, or a mix of smaller tenants, depending on market demand and tenant profiles). | 4 prime projects set to enhance rental base by €90m Four iconic, high-quality projects located in highly sought-after areas (Paris and Neuilly), scheduled for delivery between late 2026 and 2027. These developments are expected to be accretive to both NAV (consistent with the track record of the 15 assets delivered in Paris/Neuilly since 2018 which, for reference, generated an average profit on cost of +34%) and RNI, generating an estimated annual rental income of €80–90 million. Each asset features a distinctive architectural identity, a comprehensive range of tenant services, and targets or holds top-tier CSR certifications. Remaining CAPEX of approximately €500 million. The developments offer an attractive average yield-on-cost of 5.7%, with an expected incremental yield-on-cost in the 10–11% range. Agile leasing strategy already underway, leveraging the modularity and flexibility of the assets' design to maximize leasing potential and adapt to diverse tenant needs. Strategic pipeline securing the Group's future rental income profile, driven by proactive repositioning and long-term value creation: ‒ End-2026: delivery of Rocher-Vienne (Paris CBD, 25,000 sq.m) and Quarter (Paris, Gare de Lyon, 19,100 sq.m), for an expected annual rent of €35–40m. ‒ 2027: phased delivery of Les Arches du Carreau (Neuilly, Q2 2027, 36,500 sq.m) and Mirabeau (Paris, Q3 2027, 37,300 sq.m), for an expected annual rent of €45–50m. ‒ After 2028: progressive lease-up of the refurbished T1 Tower generating additional rental contributions over time. | CSR: on track to meet the Group's 2025 targets Energy consumption down -3.7% on the whole portfolio in H1 2025, in line with 2025 targets, based on the pursuit of a close day-to-day monitoring strategy and the energy efficiency plan launched in 2022 including close collaboration with tenants. Example of the contribution from a newly delivered asset: with 18 months of operational feedback, 37 Boétie (10,000 sq.m office asset in Paris, 8th arrondissement), the first low-carbon certified asset in Paris CBD, energy-efficient by design, has achieved a -63% reduction in energy consumption – significantly outperforming the market average. 100% of the office portfolio certified in H1 2025 (vs 26% on the market – CBRE). Balance sheet maintained strong and healthy | Portfolio values firmly recovering with a +1.6% over the past six months Portfolio values up +1.6% since year-end 2024 on a like-for-like basis (excluding the impact of change in transaction tax rates. After this change, values are up +1.2% (like-for-like)), with an overall portfolio value of €17.0bn. This reflects both the underlying valuation trends and the impact of disposals (prior to the acquisition of the new office complex in Paris CBD). ‒ Stabilization of the yield effect in central areas, supported by signs of a potential reopening of the investment market for large office transactions in core Paris locations, while yield decompression continues to decelerate in other areas. ‒ Rental effect remains positive, though stabilizing. Rent growth expectations continue to support values in central locations (Paris, Neuilly), while more subdued dynamics persist in secondary areas where rental values are still adjusting. Values up by +2.3% since the though confirming the same trend observed each semester since the end of 2023 – driven by gains in Paris and Neuilly, which have consistently offset ongoing adjustments in other locations. | Financial strategy: ready to operate and grow Best-in-class rating: recent confirmation of Gecina's A-/A3 ratings by S&P and Moody's (stable outlook), supported by the continuous capacity to generate steady cash flows due to the Group's focused investment strategy, securing the best financing conditions. Low average cost of drawn debt at 1.2%, stable compared with 2024, while the overall cost of debt remains at 1.5%. Gecina's optimized hedging profile provides long-term visibility over the cost of debt, with close to 100% of the 2025-2026 maturities hedged and 85% of the 2025-2029 maturities based on end-June 2025 debt, pro forma of the secured large office complex acquisition. Strong liquidity profile to provide short, medium, and long-term security and flexibility (€3.7bn of net liquidity – undrawn credit lines excluding commercial papers – covering maturities until 2029 all else equal). Net debt volume of €6.1bn (-€0.5bn vs end-2024, mainly due to the disposal of the student housing portfolio), with a maturity of 6.4 years. 100% of Group financing is green, following the greening of the latest credit line in the third quarter of 2024. | NAV (NTA) up +1.1% vs end-2024 to €144.3 per share NAV (NTA) up +€1.5 per share since December 31, 2024 to €144.3, primarily reflecting the value created through both the pipeline deliveries and the asset rotation strategy: ‒ Dividend paid in the first half of 2025: -€2.7 ‒ Recurrent net income: +€3.4 ‒ Value adjustment linked to the yield effect: +€1.3 ‒ Value adjustment linked to the rent effect: +€1.0 ‒ Other (including IFRS 16): -€1.4 | Outlook & upper guidance confirmed Market perspectives: ‒ Indexation expected to continue to slow down. ‒ Demand for centrally located offices still strong (bifurcating markets), with office job creations still on the rise in the Paris Region and companies favoring central, accessible, prime office spaces. ‒ Rental income: (1) impact of the disposals of mature residential assets and the student housing portfolio in particular (c. €10.4m of net rent after platform costs, over 6 months); (2) support from the deliveries of newly repositioned assets in 2024 (Mondo, 35 Capucines, Montrouge Porte Sud, Dareau) and 2025 (Icône, 27 Canal); (3) €20m rent loss (on the entire year) due to the transfer of assets to the pipeline, (4) contribution from the fully let building on the recent acquisition (c. €5-6m of annual rent). ‒ Discipline maintained on the cost base and visibility over financial costs. 2025 Guidance confirmed: Recurrent net income (Group Share) now expected between €6.65 and €6.70 per share (+3.6% to +4.4% vs FY 2024 RNI per share).

Expand | EPRA Loan-to-Value Additional information on rental income | Rental situation Gecina's tenants come from a wide range of sectors of activity, reflecting various macro-economic factors. Breakdown of tenants by sector (offices – based on annualized headline rents) Weighting of the top 20 tenants (% of annualized total headline rents) | Annualized gross rental income Annualized rental income is down by –€55 million from December 31, 2024, mainly reflecting the impact of residential asset disposals (–€34 million, including the student portfolio) and the loss of rents due to the departure of tenants from buildings undergoing or expected to undergo redevelopment (–€33 million), partially offset by the proceeds from building deliveries (+€13 million). In addition, the annualized rental income figures below do not yet include the rental income that will be generated by committed or controlled projects, which may represent nearly €80-€90 million of potential headline rents. | Volume of rental income by three-year break and end of leases Commercial lease schedule (in million euros) 2025 2026 2027 2028 2029 2030 2031 >2031 Total Break-up options 32 68 143 75 56 42 49 155 621 End of leases 29 31 96 33 48 78 54 252 621 Expand 3.4 Financial resources The first half of 2025 was marked by the continuation of the monetary easing initiated in 2024. With the disinflation process well underway, the European Central Bank continued its gradual reduction of the deposit facility rate, which fell from 3.00% to 2.00% during the semester. This accommodative stance further eased long-term interest rates, helping to restore confidence in financial markets. However, the French economic growth remains moderate, held back by still-fragile domestic demand and an uncertain geopolitical environment. At June 30, 2025, Gecina had immediate liquidity of €5.2 billion, or €3.7 billion excluding NEU CP, significantly surpassing the long-term internal target of a minimum of c. €2.0 billion. This excess liquidity notably covers all bond maturities until 2029. The proactive and dynamic management of the Group's financial structure further increases its strength, resilience and visibility for the coming years. It also ensures that the Group's main credit indicators remain at an excellent level. The maturity of the debt is 6.4 years, the interest rate risk hedging is fully hedged until the end of 2026 and 85% on average until the end of 2029 (pro forma of secured large office complex acquisitions), and the average maturity of this hedging is 5.3 years. The loan-to-value (LTV) ratio (including duties) was 33.6%, and the interest coverage ratio (ICR) stood at 6.4x. Gecina therefore has a significant margin with respect to all of its banking covenants. The average cost of drawn debt is stable and stands at 1.2%. | Debt structure at June 30, 2025 Net financial debt amounted to €6.1 billion at the end of June 2025, down €468 million compared to end-December 2024, mainly due to disposals carried out during the first half. The main characteristics of the debt are: Debt by type Gecina uses diversified sources of financing. Long-term bonds represent 76% of the Group's nominal debt and 53% of the Group's authorized financing. At June 30, 2025, Gecina's gross nominal debt was €6.9 billion and comprised: ◆ €5.3 billion in long-term Green Bonds issued under the Euro Medium-Term Notes (EMTN) program; ◆ €0.2 billion in Green Term Loans; ◆ €1.5 billion in NEU CP covered by confirmed medium and long-term green credit lines. | Liquidity The main objectives of the liquidity are to provide sufficient flexibility to adapt the volume of debt to the pace of acquisitions and disposals, cover the refinancing of short-term maturities, allow refinancing under optimal conditions, meet the criteria of the credit rating agencies, and finance the Group's investment projects. As of June 30, 2025, Gecina had €5.2 billion in liquidity (including €4.4 billion in undrawn credit lines and €0.7 billion in cash, mainly linked to the proceeds from the disposal of the student housing portfolio completed at the end of June, which will be reinvested in July for the acquisition of a large office complex), covering all bond maturities through 2029 (including those in 2027, 2028, and 2029). After deducting short-term resources and taking into account available cash, liquidity stands at €3.7 billion. In the first half of 2025, Gecina continued to use short-term resources via the issue of NEU CPs. At June 30, 2025, the Group's short-term resources totaled €1.5 billion. | Debt maturity breakdown At June 30, 2025, the average maturity of Gecina's debt, after allocation of unused credit lines and cash, was 6.4 years. The following chart shows the debt maturity breakdown after allocation of unused credit lines at June 30, 2025: Debt maturity breakdown after taking into account undrawn credit lines (in billion euros) All of the credit maturities up to 2029, including the 2027, 2028 and 2029 bond maturities in particular, were covered by unused credit lines as at June 30, 2025 and by free cash. | Average cost of debt The average cost of the drawn debt amounted to 1.2% at the end of June 2025 (and 1.5% for total debt), stable compared to 2024. | Credit rating The Gecina group is rated by both Standard & Poor's and Moody's, which maintained the following ratings in the first half of 2025: ◆ A– (stable outlook) for Standard & Poor's; ◆ A3 (stable outlook) for Moody's. | Management of interest rate risk hedge Gecina's interest rate risk management policy is aimed at hedging the Company's exposure to interest rate risk. To do so, Gecina uses fixed-rate debt and derivative products (mainly caps and swaps) in order to limit the impact of interest rate changes on the Group's results and to keep the cost of debt under control. In the first half of 2025, Gecina continued to adjust and optimize its hedging policy with the aim of: ◆ maintaining an optimal hedging ratio; ◆ maintaining a high average maturity of hedges (fixed-rate debt and derivative instruments); and ◆ securing favorable long-term interest rates. At June 30, 2025, the average duration of the portfolio of firm hedges stood at 5.3 years. Based on the current level of debt (pro forma of secured large office complex acquisitions), the hedging ratio averages nearly 100% over the next two years, and 85% on average through the end of 2029. The chart below shows the profile of the hedging portfolio (in billion euros): Gecina's interest rate hedging policy is implemented mainly at Group level and on the long-term; it is not specifically assigned to certain loans. Measuring interest rate risk Gecina's anticipated nominal net debt in 2025 is fully hedged against interest rate increase. Based on the existing hedging portfolio, contractual conditions as at June 30, 2025, and anticipated debt in 2025, a 50 basis point increase or decrease in the interest rate, compared to the forward rate curve of June 30, 2025, would have no material impact on financial expenses in 2025. | Financial structure and banking covenants Gecina's financial position as at June 30, 2025, meets all requirements that could affect the compensation conditions or early repayment clauses provided for in the various loan agreements. The table below shows the status of the main financial ratios outlined in the loan agreements: The financial ratios shown above are the same as those used in the covenants included in all the Group's loan agreements.
