Hammerson PLC - London-based property developer focused on urban and retail space in the UK, Ireland and France - Restates 2021 results for IASB accounting. This follows an agenda decision stipulating that losses incurred on rent concessions, such as during the Covid-19 pandemic, should be charged to the income statement in the year they were granted.

Adjusted earnings for 2021 are subsequently reduced to £65.5 million from £80.9 million. Hammerson says this is in line with the £15.4 million cut in adjusted net rental income to £174.4 million from £189.8 million.

Hammerson will report 2022 results on the new accounting basis on March 9.
