(BBB+/Positive/A-2) were unchanged following the company's announcement of its first-half 2008 results and of its Â€605 million acquisition of a 56.1% stake in Scandinavia's leading shopping-center owner Steen&amp;Strom ASA (S&amp;S). KlÃ©pierre's first-half 2008 results highlighted robust rental income growth despite the weak revenues of tenants of its Spanish, Italian, and Portuguese shopping centers. At June 30, 2008, KlÃ©pierre's loan-to-value ratio marginally exceeded 40%. Almost half of KlÃ©pierre's investment could be financed with new equity. S&amp;S carries almost Â€1.6 billion of debt. The acquisition would somewhat strengthen KlÃ©pierre's business profile while weakening its key credit measures to a</spcred:index_entry_excerpt><spcred:index_entry_primcountry xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">FRA</spcred:index_entry_primcountry><spcred:index_entry_primgics xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">40402060 404020 4040 40</spcred:index_entry_primgics><spcred:index_entry_primissuer xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">Klepierre S.A.</spcred:index_entry_primissuer><spcred:index_entry_primissuerid xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">346122</spcred:index_entry_primissuerid><spcred:index_entry_primreg xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">EUROMIDAFR</spcred:index_entry_primreg><spcred:index_entry_primticker xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">LI@FP</spcred:index_entry_primticker><spcred:index_entry_reporttype xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">NEWS</spcred:index_entry_reporttype><spcred:index_entry_sector xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">GLOBISS</spcred:index_entry_sector><spcred:index_entry_sector xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">STRUC</spcred:index_entry_sector><spcred:index_entry_sector xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">CORP</spcred:index_entry_sector><spcred:index_entry_sector xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">REC</spcred:index_entry_sector><category>Credit &amp;

The outlook remains positive. "The ratings and outlook reflect the group's continuously strong operating performances and a relatively solid financial profile," said Standard&amp;Poor's credit analyst Pierre Georges. Klépierre enjoys very high occupancy rates (above 98% across its retail portfolio for the past six years), robust rental performance, solid EBITDA interest cover (above 3x) and a loan-to-value ratio below 45% (respectively 3.3x and 43% at June 30, 2007). Klépierre enjoys currently comfortable positioning at a 'BBB+' rating, and the positive outlook indicates the potential for a one-notch upgrade in the future.</spcred:index_entry_excerpt><spcred:index_entry_primcountry xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">FRA</spcred:index_entry_primcountry><spcred:index_entry_primgics xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">40402060 404020 4040 40</spcred:index_entry_primgics><spcred:index_entry_primissuer xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">Klepierre S.A.</spcred:index_entry_primissuer><spcred:index_entry_primissuerid xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">346122</spcred:index_entry_primissuerid><spcred:index_entry_primreg xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">EUROMIDAFR</spcred:index_entry_primreg><spcred:index_entry_primticker xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">LI@FP</spcred:index_entry_primticker><spcred:index_entry_reporttype xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">NEWS</spcred:index_entry_reporttype><spcred:index_entry_sector xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">GLOBISS</spcred:index_entry_sector><spcred:index_entry_sector xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">STRUC</spcred:index_entry_sector><spcred:index_entry_sector xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">CORP</spcred:index_entry_sector><spcred:index_entry_sector xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">REC</spcred:index_entry_sector><category>Credit &amp; Investment Research</category><alacra:ip>S&amp;P Credit Research</alacra:ip></item><item><link>http://www.alacrastore.com/storecontent/spcred/624561</link><guid isPermaLink="false">spcred/624561</guid><spcred:index_mode xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">norm</spcred:index_mode><title>Research Update: French Property Company Klépierre S.A.
