HAMMERSON.COM 3 LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN Responding to market dynamics Strong financial performance Our focus as a Board is to maximise shareholder value over the medium to long term. Despite the market backdrop, which was tougher than the previous year, I am pleased to report that Hammerson’s financial performance in 2017 was strong and this should help to underpin future returns for shareholders. IFRS profit was £388 million, £71 million higher, principally due to higher revaluation gains from our Premium outlets. Adjusted earnings for the year grew by £16 million to £246 million and adjusted earnings per share grew by 6.5% to 31.1p. The improvement arose largely from a rise in rental income across the Group, in particular our Irish portfolio and Premium outlets earnings. As a share of gross rental income, costs fell by a full percentage point from 22.6% to 21.6%. During the year, equity shareholders’ funds increased by 4.3% to £6,024 million and on an EPRA basis net asset value rose by 5.1%. This resulted in an EPRA net asset value per share of 776p at the end of December, up 5.0%. At the same time, our net debt position remained conservative, with a loan to value ratio of 36%, unchanged from the previous year. The Board has proposed a final divided of 14.8p per share, bringing the total dividend to 25.5p, up 6.3% on last year and in line with our focus on consistent income growth for shareholders. Major transaction announced 2017 will also be marked as the year we reached agreement to acquire intu properties plc (see page 12). The proposed acquisition of intu will enable us to achieve our strategic goals more successfully. Its portfolio contains many large, high-footfall shopping centres that match retailers’ needs in today’s multichannel world. The portfolio also increases our exposure to another higher-growth market in Spain. The enlarged business will bring together the talent of both companies and will create an enhanced operating team for the combined portfolio. Following the acquisition, we believe that the Company will have a stronger income profile and superior growth prospects.
