INFORMATION REGLEMENTEE
PRESS RELEASE
Paris, 22 October 2025 +2.3% Hotel revenue growth at end-September 2025 RevPAR1 in Europe up +1% at end-September and expected up by +1.7% in 2025 and +2.0% in 2026 As expected, the hotel sector was impacted in the 3rd quarter by strongly negative base effects, mainly linked to two major events in 2024: the Olympic Games in Paris and the European Football Championship in Germany. As a result, cumulative RevPAR at the end of September 2025 was up by around +1%2. These base effects resulted in significant geographical disparities. Southern Europe outperformed: Spain +4.9%, Italy +3.2%. France was stable (0.0%) penalized by the Olympic Games. Germany, impacted by an unfavorable events calendar (including the 2024 European Football Championship and InnoTrans event in September in Berlin) and weak economic growth in 2025, declined by -4.7%. The fourth quarter is better oriented and is expected to contribute to RevPAR growth in Europe by +1.7% in 2025², before an expected growth of around +2.0% in 2026². In the medium term, the growth outlook remains strong, due to (i) structurally strong demand (hotel room nights expected to increase by +4%/year by 2030) (ii) the scarcity of supply (the pipeline of rooms under construction has fallen by -5% in one year)3, (iii) increased regulation on short-term rentals and on new construction. New steps forward in development projects In the 3rd quarter, Covivio Hotels continued its asset management works on its portfolio of operating hotel properties, with the delivery of the Ibis Styles hotel in Bruges. This renovation completes the asset management operation carried out on two adjacent hotels located in the heart of the city. After acquiring the OpCos of the two hotels in 2022, Covivio Hotels initiated a renovation and upgrade (from 3 to 4 stars) programme for the Novotel until 2024, before renovating the Ibis hotel, now operated under the Ibis Styles brand. The work on the Ibis hotel included the complete renovation of 128 rooms, the creation of 12 additional rooms and the redevelopment of the terrace area between the two hotels. At the same time, the operational teams were merged to enhance synergies between the two hotels. These projects represented a total investment of €20 million for a marginal return of around 15%. 1 RevPAR: Revenue Per Available Room 2 On average (France, Germany, Italy, Spain, United Kingdom, Portugal, Benelux), based on MKG data 3 Source: Lodging Econometrics 1 Covivio Hotels PRESS RELEASE Covivio Hotels has also begun renovation work on the Holiday Inn in the seaside resort of Le Touquet (more than one million visitors per year), a 88-room hotel acquired in 2016, in which €23 million will be invested, with the creation of 25 additional rooms, for a yield on capex of more than 10%. Furthermore, following the acquisition of the OpCo of the Mercure Nice in November 2024, Covivio Hotels undertook a €8 million renovation programme for the 4* hotel located on the Promenade des Anglais, with an expected return of 15%, including the complete renovation of 124 rooms and the creation of a new room. €62 million in disposals in line with 2024 appraisal values Since the beginning of the year, Covivio Hotels signed new disposal agreements totalling €62 million in Group share (€69 million at 100%): 11 assets in France for €25 million, including 2 Accor brand hotels, and 1 hotel in Erfurt, in Germany (€37 million).

This resulted in a 0.7% decline in variable revenues (with France and Germany accounting for two-thirds of these variable revenues), while fixed rents rose by 3.5%.
