| Fair value of investment property excluding transfer taxes | > €1 billion | €2.9 billion |
Mercialys intends to maintain the flexibility of its financial structure and regularly reviews the options for optimizing its maturities in light of market conditions and its cost of financing. Asset disposals help preserve the strength of its balance sheet.
LTV (Loan To Value), debt ratio: net financial debt divided by the appraisal value of the portfolio, including or excluding transfer taxes, plus the value of the shares of equity-accounted companies.
ICR (Interest Coverage Ratio): finance cost coverage ratio, the ratio between EBITDA and net finance costs.
Net debt / EBITDA: the ratio between net financial debt and EBITDA.
