Extension of UCL rights
Key points:
HOMI announced that it has reached an agreement with UCL for the extension of the leasehold of several buildings in Louvain-La-
Neuve.
That means HOMI will be able to retain contractual rents worth EUR3.6m (out of EUR4.2m).
As a consequence, the deal has a positive impact on NTA per share and EPRA earnings guidance is raised from EUR1.23 to
EUR1.25.
Context
The company had previously disclosed that building rights relating to the investment properties CV9, CV10, and CV18 located in
Louvain-La-Neuve were coming to an end on 7 June 2026. UCL (the grantor) had previously communicated to HOMI that the
building rights would not be extended.
In that case, HOMI would have had to forego contractual rents on these buildings, amounting to EUR4.2m, representing around
10% of total contractual rents. Hence, the event represented a meaningful overhang on the equity story.
On the other hand, HOMI would have been paid the market value of the buildings to sell its building rights to UCL. That market
value was estimated at EUR50m by HOMI.
We were thus seeing an "air pocket" in EPRA earnings with the loss of the LLN rents impacting EPRA EPS by EUR0.09-0.11 on a
full-year basis and the cash proceeds being redeployed into the development of the Cityforward project.
