Dividend

Mercialys pays its shareholders a cash dividend every year. As a listed real estate investment company (SIIC), it distributes most of its earnings, with a policy targeting an annual dividend of around 80% of its net recurrent earnings (NRE) per share.

Dividend for 2025

The General Meeting of April 23, 2026 approved the payment of a dividend of €1.00 per share for 2025, identical to that paid for 2024. It represents 80% of net recurrent earnings (€1.26 per share) and offers a yield of 5.9% on the net asset value (NTA) of €16.96 per share at end-2025 and 9.1% on the 2025 closing price. The ex-dividend date was May 4, 2026, and the dividend was paid on May 6, 2026.

This dividend corresponds to the distribution requirement under the SIIC regime concerning exempt profits from:

  • property rental or sub-letting operations (including dividends paid by subsidiaries subject to the SIIC regime), i.e. €0.73 per share;
  • the distribution of exempt income recorded on the Company’s balance sheet, i.e. €0.27 per share.

The SIIC regime

In November 2005, Mercialys elected for the tax regime applicable to listed real estate investment companies (SIIC). It is therefore exempt from corporate income tax on its rental revenues and on capital gains from the sale of properties or of certain investments in real estate companies. In return, it must distribute to its shareholders:

  • at least 95% of its tax-exempt profits from the leasing or subletting of properties;
  • at least 70% of its tax-exempt profits from the sale of properties and of investments in real estate companies;
  • all of the dividends received from its subsidiaries included in the scope of the election.

The regime also requires that no shareholder, alone or acting in concert, hold more than 60% of the share capital.

For individual shareholders, dividends paid out of tax-exempt profits do not qualify for the 40% allowance; this applies to all dividends paid for the 2021 to 2025 financial years.
