First-quarter consolidated rental income amounted to €48.0 million, down by a modest €0.9 million or 1.9% from the €49.0 million reported for the same period of 2017. Like-for-like growth went a long way towards offsetting the impact of the IN/OUT property disposal:

- On a like-for-like basis (excluding all changes in the portfolio affecting period-on-period comparisons), rental income was €2.4 million higher, a 5.6% increase that was attributable to new leases signed in 2017, mainly on offices in the Washington Plaza, 103 Grenelle and 9 Percier buildings.

- The sale of the IN/OUT building on 29 September 2017 led to a €3.2 million decrease in rental income compared with first-quarter 2017.

During first-quarter 2018, leases were signed on over 5,000 sq.m., including three office leases on over 1,000 sq.m. in the Cézanne Saint-Honoré, Washington Plaza and Louvre Saint-Honoré buildings. The average nominal rent for these new office leases is €724 per sq.m. and the effective rent is €623 per sq.m.

The physical occupancy rate for revenue-generating buildings remained high, at 96.6% as of 31 March 2018 versus 96.4% as of 31 December 2017, while the EPRA vacancy rate stood at 2.8%.

There were no property sales or acquisitions during the first quarter of 2018.

SFL's consolidated net debt declined slightly to €1,605 million at 31 March 2018 from €1,631 million at 31 December 2017. This represented a loan-to-value ratio of 24.2% based on the portfolio's appraisal value at 31 December 2017.

At 31 March 2018, SFL had €780 million in confirmed undrawn lines of credit.
