Growth in 2022 earnings driven by record rental performance

  • Finance

February 21, 2023

With record revenue growth and a 5% increase in earnings, 93% of its assets certified and a high customer satisfaction, Covivio reaped the benefits of its strategy in 2022. We look ahead with confidence in our ability to adapt and prepare for the future. The adjustments announced end-2022 in response to the new environment have been implemented, with €200 million in sales negotiated at the end of the year. Thus, we will keep on benefitting from the soundness of Covivio’s business model, focusing on diversification, centrality, sustainable real estate and client centricity.”
