All of them lease an ABR of approximately 193,000 m2 , representing 26% of GICSA’s ABR.
Individually, none of GICSA’s customers accounted for more than 4.2% of its ABR as of December 2022.
As of December 31, 2022, the company received approximately 71% of its fixed rental income in pesos and approximately 29% in dollars.
Its leases in shopping centers generally have a fixed and a variable rent component. However, when the tenant is a service provider such as banks, government offices, and cellular telephony, the company usually charges only a fixed rental amount.
In other cases, when the company introduces a new shopping center concept or enters a new market, it occasionally charges only a variable amount of rent.
GICSA’s variable rent ranges between 2.3 and 18 of the revenues generated by that tenant.
