Kiwi Property portfolio value increases to

$3 billion



Kiwi Property today reported a net increase of approximately $38 million (+1.3%) in the value of its

portfolio of shopping centres and office buildings for the year ended 31 March 2017, with the

total portfolio value lifting to $3.0 billion.

Chief Executive, Chris Gudgeon, said: “Kiwi Property’s portfolio has benefited from a general

strengthening in investment market conditions with capitalisation rates firming to a record low

across the portfolio. New leasing deals and strong sales at our key retail centres have assisted

value growth, albeit our overall gain was moderated by our continued proactive approach to

earthquake strengthening which effectively reduced the gain by approximately $22 million.”

The weighted average capitalisation rate for the portfolio firmed 21 basis points to 6.4% and the

valuations indicate that, overall, the portfolio is marginally under-rented by 0.5%.

The March 2017 property valuations were determined by independent valuers and will be

confirmed in the Company’s audited financial results for the year to 31 March 2017, to be

announced on 22 May 2017.


RETAIL PORTFOLIO

The value of the retail portfolio increased to $2.0 billion and its weighted average capitalisation

rate firmed 17 basis points to 6.52%. This represented a net value gain (after allowing for capital

expenditure and IFRS adjustments) of approximately $8 million (+0.4%).

Sylvia Park, the Company’s flagship asset, increased in value by $11 million (+1.5%) to $755 million.

On completion of the office and dining lane developments now underway (requiring further

expenditure of $75 million in remaining development costs), the value of Sylvia Park is projected

to increase to $840 million.


OFFICE PORTFOLIO

The net value gain for the office portfolio was approximately $22 million (+2.5%) with the portfolio

value increasing to $879 million and the weighted average capitalisation rate firming 31 basis

points to 6.13%.

Auckland office buildings provided a net value gain of $23 million, with capitalisation rates for

both Vero Centre and ASB North Wharf firming to 5.75%. The increase in value of the Vero Centre

is assisted by limited vacancy in the Prime-grade sector and higher market rents.

In Wellington, Kiwi Property’s core government precinct buildings, The Aurora Centre and 44 The

Terrace, produced a combined $4 million of value uplift. The value of the Majestic Centre

increased to $119.4 million but a net value loss of $5 million was recorded after allowing for

capital expenditure on the seismic upgrade programme which completed in January.
