“It is a pleasure to reflect on a successful financial year, during which we strategically shifted our focus to expanding our real estate portfolio and profitably sold our entire Services business.

As announced, we took advantage of the favourable market situation and acquired properties worth more than CHF 370 million in our core market. All these properties are in attractive locations close to key facilities such as train stations, schools and shops. Thanks to the high quality of our portfolio and falling interest rates, we once again realised significant appreciation gains.

Our well-timed strategic decision to sell part of our portfolio in 2022 and buy comparable properties at significantly lower prices in 2024, has created additional value for our shareholders. Our balance sheet remains very strong, providing a solid foundation for future growth.

I am extremely satisfied with these results,” says Stéphane Bonvin, CEO of the Investis Group.

 

Impressive Group result, significant expansion of property portfolio

Group revenue in the year under review came to CHF 152.7 million. Rental income was 21% higher at CHF 64.4 million, or an excellent 3.4% on a like-for-like basis (and a very good +2.0% for residential properties). Despite a CHF 11 million increase in the Properties segment, overall Group revenue was 34% lower than the previous year. This decline is entirely attributable to the successful sale of the Real Estate Services segment in mid-2024. Full occupancy property rent came to CHF 78.4 million at year-end.
