The increase of gross rental income is mainly driven by acquisitions and disposals completed over 2021 and 2022 (+€ 0.6m), as well as contractual indexation, and the decrease in the amortization of Covid-19 rent free periods.
Net rental income is increasing by +6.6% between 2021 and 2022, with the gross to net ratio slightly improving (92% of gross rental income in 2022 vs. 91% in 2021), mainly composed of unrecovered rental expenses and provisions for credit losses:
