Commenting on the results, Jean-Marie Tritant, Chief Executive Officer, said:
“Our operating performance in Q1 was robust, with sales and footfall both up despite unfavourable calendar effects. We delivered strong leasing activity, with MGR signed up almost 8% on top of passing rents. Westfield Hamburg-Überseequartier, our newest Flagship asset, successfully opened to the public on April 8 and has already attracted over one million visits.
We have also expanded Westfield Rise to the US to generate more revenues through our in-house retail media and experiential division.
Since the start of 2025, we have completed or secured €1 billion of disposals, including €0.7 billion of retail assets in line with latest book values. We have also successfully re-couponed and downsized our hybrid portfolio.
All this activity, combined with our EUR/USD hedging position and sensitivity analysis taking into account the current macro-economic environment give us the confidence to confirm our full year earnings guidance for 2025 of €9.30 to €9.50 per share.
Thanks to our unrivalled portfolio of the best assets in the best locations and our highly diversified tenant base, we are confident in the resilience, growth potential, and long-term trajectory of our business. We look forward to sharing our plans in more detail at our Investor Day on May 14.”
