PRESS RELEASE

Paris, April 15, 2026



Covivio Hotels - Activity at end-March 2026:

+1.4% Revenue growth year-on-year

In the first quarter of 2026, hotel performance in Europe demonstrated the sector's resilience, with first-quarter RevPAR1 growth of approximately +3.6%, driven primarily by an increase in average room rates of around +2.0% - particularly in Southern Europe - coupled with rising occupancy rates.

As of the end of March, the strongest performance was seen in Italy, which benefited from the Winter Olympics in February (cumulative RevPAR as of the end of March: +25%), and in Spain (+6%).



Against the backdrop of an international landscape disrupted by the conflict in the Middle East, Europe is showing resilience in the short term and could benefit from a favorable carryover effect in the medium term. RevPAR in March rose by +4% in Spain and France, +3% in the United Kingdom, and +1% in Germany. For the premises and business hotels portfolio held by Covivio Hotels, the on-the-books forecast for the coming months remains solid in both France and Germany. Europe should also benefit, in the medium term, from a shift in demand. For example, Oxford Economics expects an 8% increase

Acquisition of a portfolio of four hotels in Milan for €217 million

Covivio Hotels is consolidating its expansion strategy in Southern Europe with a major transaction involving the acquisition of a portfolio of four 4-star hotels in Milan, for a total price of €217 million.

The transaction strengthens the Covivo Hotels' positioning in Italy, particularly in Milan2, a market supported by robust demand in both the business and leisure segments.

The recently renovated portfolio of hotels ensures high quality standards and modern amenities. The assets will also feature high energy performance and a low environmental impact: the enhancement process will lead the properties to obtain LEED Gold/BREEAM In-Use Very Good certification. All assets comply with the European Taxonomy and meet the CRREM emission targets set for 2030.

The Milan hotels, located in the Scalo Farini area, in Bicocca, in Corso Buenos Aires, and in Piazzale Loreto, offer a total of approximately 900 rooms distributed across areas well-served by public transportation and well-connected to the city.

The acquisition was finalized through a sale and leaseback transaction with Invest Hospitality, which will continue to operate as the manager of the properties. Through its integrated platform, Invest Hospitality has built a solid track record, confirming its position as one of the first operators in the Milan hotel market.

The lease agreements of 21 years provide for a minimum guaranteed rent and a variable component linked to the hotels' revenues, with a conservative coverage ratio that ensures the long-term sustainability of the hotel operations. This acquisition yields a guaranteed minimum rental return of 6% and a target return, including variable rent, of approximately 7%.

The hotel development pipeline continues to gain momentum with two new projects

As a reminder, Covivio Hotels has identified a pipeline of 19 operating properties hotels, on which the group plans to invest approximately €320 million3 in works to generate €45 million4 in additional EBITDA (14% yield) and €280 million5 in additional value. In 2025, five projects were launched with

€69 million6 in capital expenditure. In the first quarter of 2026, Covivio Hotels continued to expand its pipeline by launching two new projects in Paris - Parc des Princes and in the centre of Ghent, in Belgium.

The Mercure Paris Boulogne, located near the PSG football stadium, will undergo a full refurbishment of its 191 rooms, an enhancement of its events and catering services, and a renovation of its facade. The Novotel Ghent Centre enjoys one of the most central locations in this major Belgian tourist destination (1.6 million overnight stays and 850,000 tourists in 2024). The hotel will benefit from an extension of 24 rooms and a refurbishment of its 117 existing rooms, as well as the creation of a new accessible restaurant open to the city. The total cost of the works for the two projects, which are scheduled to run from late 2026 to mid-2028, is estimated at €46 million, with a target yield above 10% and a reduction of more than 60% in CO2 emissions.

(*) On a like for like basis

The 1.4% growth on a like-for-like basis breaks down into 1.1% for fixed rents (indexation effect) and 1.9% for variable revenues. The share of variable revenues in hotel turnover is traditionally lower in the first quarter due to the seasonality of the business (30% of Q1 2026 hotel revenues vs ~45% for the full year).

On a current basis, the 0.5% decline is linked to the impact of ongoing renovation works, which will continue to increase over the coming quarters.
