(1) Based on appraisals by Jones Lang LaSalle as of 31 December 2018. The asset portfolio increased by 1.5% compared with 31 December 2017 on a like-for-like basis. The changes in the asset portfolio, as recorded in the consolidated financial statements at 31 December 2018 (see Section 3.7 of this Registration Document), stem mainly from the increase in capitalisation rates and the decrease in market rental values, retained by the appraisers, which more than offset the solid progress made in the retail-property value- enhancement plans during the year.
The Group values its property assets twice a year. In order to comply with the SIIC Code of professional conduct, the Group put in place a rotation system for its appraisers in 2013; this rotation ended as of 31 December 2015. The Group’s entire asset portfolio was appraised by Jones Lang LaSalle as of 31 December 2018. This firm is independent: it has no links and no conflict of interest with the Company.
The valuations were carried out using recognised methods which are consistent over time in accordance with French and international valuation standards, namely the Charte de l’expertise en évaluation immobilière (French property valuation charter) applied by all French property valuation associations and the RICS principles (“Appraisal and Valuation Manual” published by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors). The previous valuations were carried out in June 2018.
