Kiwi Property posts strong interim result
Kiwi Property today reported a strong result for the six months ended 30 September 2017, with
after tax profit
1
increasing 5% to $47.9 million, underpinned by another record operating result.
Funds from operations (FFO)
2
grew by 13.6% to $54.2 million.
The result was driven by the Company’s disciplined investment strategy and focus on value
creation, leading to strong rental growth, increased retail sales and high portfolio occupancy.
Highlights include:
> 9.4% growth in rental income to $95.1 million
> 6.7% growth in annual sales from our retail portfolio to $1.75 billion
> portfolio occupancy of 99.4% and weighted average lease term of 5.3 years, and
> total returns to shareholders since inception of 9.4% per annum.
Chair, Mark Ford, said: “Our retail and office assets are in high demand and performing strongly,
which tells us that our strategy of focusing on creating exceptional tenant and customer
experiences is working well.”
Focused execution
Our construction projects at Sylvia Park are progressing on time and on budget:
> We are delighted to have secured a range of accomplished restaurant operators committed
to delivering an inspiring range of dining experiences at the $8.9 million ‘The Grove’ dining
precinct, which will open from December 2017.
> The $80.2 million ‘No. 1 Sylvia Park’ office building is 50% leased by income, with strong
interest in the remaining space.
> The $36.3 million central carpark, due to complete in November 2018, will deliver
~600 additional parking spaces for our customers.
We have locked in long-term opportunities:
> We settled our acquisition of land at Drury, South Auckland, and we are participating in the
Auckland Council-led structure plan for the broader Drury/Opaheke precinct as a precursor
to securing a town centre zoning for commercial, retail and residential uses.
> Post the period, we purchased further land adjoining Sylvia Park for $27.1 million as a long-
term strategic holding.
> We today announce that we are proceeding with the development of a vibrant new dining
and entertainment precinct, to be named ‘Langdons Quarter’, at Northlands in Christchurch.
The project will cost $18.8 million (including seismic strengthening costs of $6.8 million) and will
yield 6% (excluding seismic strengthening costs) in the first year post completion.
We continue to recycle capital:
> Post the period, we secured an unconditional agreement for the sale of The Majestic Centre
for $123.2 million, and a marketing and sales process for North City is underway and ongoing.

Sylvia Park galleria and south carpark update
Good progress has been made with our second level galleria expansion proposal at Sylvia Park,
securing a lease agreement with Farmers
3
for a new 8,000 sqm, two-level flagship department
store as part of the proposed development.
Chief Executive, Chris Gudgeon, said: “Before proceeding with the development, we are
committed to securing construction cost certainty for our investors.”
‘For construction’ design documentation will be completed this year and we expect to secure
construction cost pricing from the market by the first quarter of 2018. Subject to satisfactory pricing
outcomes, we expect to be able to seek board approval for the development by mid-2018.
Robust balance sheet
We maintain a robust balance sheet to reduce financial risk, with conservative gearing and
diversified sources of debt. During the period we:
> increased the value of our property portfolio to $3.1 billion through our development and
acquisition activity
> raised $161 million of new equity through an underwritten pro-rata entitlement offer, applied
to reduce bank debt
> reduced our overall gearing ratio to 31.2%
4
, down from 34.5%, and
> maintained a healthy 3.5-year weighted average term to maturity and low weighted
average cost of debt of 4.84%.
Post the period, Kiwi Property has been assigned a corporate credit rating of BBB (stable) from
S&P Global Ratings
5
and an issue credit rating of BBB+ in respect of the Company’s existing fixed-
rate senior secured bonds.
The Company currently has two bonds on issue and we are assessing the merits of undertaking a
further issue.
Outlook and guidance
The New Zealand economy continues to perform strongly, creating supportive property market
fundamentals. The Auckland office market in particular is experiencing high tenant demand and
low levels of new supply, which is contributing to future rental growth expectations and the retail
sector continues to record positive sales growth nationally.
Chief Executive, Chris Gudgeon, said: “We remain confident that we have the right strategy in
place for our shopping centres – one which focuses on the social and experiential benefits we
can offer our customers. By curating a vibrant, contemporary and relevant retail mix in each of
our centres we will continue to build portfolio resilience and maintain investment performance.
We are also equally confident that our property diversification strategy provides our investors with
through-cycle resilience.”
“We have a strategy that favours property exposures expected to outperform, a healthy balance
sheet, a pipeline of future development opportunities, and a well-tenanted portfolio with a long
weighted average lease term – all aimed at securing superior, risk-adjusted returns for our
shareholders. We also have an experienced, dedicated management team focused on
delivering our strategy, and a culture which is built on excellence,” said Mr Gudgeon.
Shareholders will receive an interim cash dividend of 3.425 cents per share for the six months
ended 30 September 2017, up 1.5% from the prior period and in line with guidance. The board
has confirmed that the Dividend Reinvestment Plan will be available to eligible shareholders for
the period. No discount will be applied to the price at which the shares are issued.
We continue to project the cash dividend for the year ending 31 March 2018 to be 6.85 cents per
share, absent material adverse events or unforeseen circumstances.

Sylvia Park diners are being treated to
a new cultural fiesta, with the opening
of Mexico – a fast-paced, energetic
restaurant with superb Mexican cuisine.
Drenched in bright colour and bold
imagery, Mexico celebrates the vibrant,
fresh and lighter side of Mexican food.
Whatever the occasion, the experience
is complemented by smiling staff and

Rental income growth was driven by full-period
contributions from Sylvia Park, The Aurora Centre
and 44 The Terrace following completion of value-add
development works in the prior period, and the
acquisitions of Westgate Lifestyle and The Base.
This strong rental performance, partially offset by
an increase in interest and finance charges and
employment and administration expenses, has resulted
in a further record funds from operations result
and driven an improved after-tax profit.

MARK FORD
CHAIR
chair's report

Welcome to the 2018 Kiwi Property
interim report.
The Company remains in excellent
shape, supported by a high-quality
portfolio of retail centres and office
buildings, a robust balance sheet
and a clear strategy aimed at creating
value for all our stakeholders. We are
purposefully diversified by asset
class, and we are increasingly
focused on owning and developing
assets that are complementary to
our town centre vision.
Our Chief Executive, Chris Gudgeon,
provides a full report on the Company’s
financial and operational performance
for the interim period on page 12.
There has been increasing market
commentary regarding the rise of
online retailing and the potential
impact on traditional retail in the
Oceania region with the arrival of
Amazon into Australia. I want to
reassure our investors that your
board and management have been
acutely aware of the challenge of
online retailing for many years, and
have been responding proactively
to build portfolio resilience.
We continue to fortify our retail offer
with a steadfast focus on creating
spaces where New Zealanders want
to be and by curating experiences
that New Zealanders can share and
delight in. Accordingly, we are
focused on providing more food,
entertainment, leisure and personal
services – categories where
experiences cannot be emulated
online – and down-weighting
categories most exposed to online
retailing. As a result, we have
witnessed sales growth, increased
sales productivity and a high and
stable portfolio occupancy rate.
We firmly believe the future for our
portfolio of shopping centres is bright.
We favour centres that dominate their
catchment, and assets that we can
evolve in step with market demand.
It is true that some retailers – even
some categories of retail – will
disappear from shopping centres
over time. Rather than being a
new phenomenon, this is a natural
evolution in retail, and we have seen
it decade after decade because our
shopping centres inherently reflect
consumer trends.
Online retail, while a vital and growing
offer, does not provide what is in fact
the very fabric of shopping centres –
a place that brings people together
to socialise and to experience
products and services in person.
Over 24 years, Kiwi Property has built
a position as the leading diversified
property company in New Zealand.
Our management team comprises
more than 170 professionals who
execute our strategy daily, and have
been hand-picked for not only their
experience and expertise, but also
for their passion and dedication to
a job well done.
The Company's culture, which has
been carefully nurtured since our
inception, is one that celebrates
excellence, leadership, integrity and
diversity, and above all our ability to
listen, understand and react to the
needs of our stakeholders.
During the period, we announced
several changes to your board
and senior management, including
the intention by Chris Gudgeon
to retire from his position as
Chief Executive in September 2018,
after 10 years with the business. In
doing so, Chris has provided us with
Dear shareholders,
kiwi property
10
2018 interim report
chair's report
sufficient time to recruit a high-
calibre individual who will be
responsible for executing the
Company’s strategy and ensuring
the continuation of a strong and
vibrant culture. We are grateful
to Chris for his contribution to
Kiwi Property during his tenure and
look forward to making the most of
his talents in his remaining time
with the business. Our search is
encompassing domestic and
international candidates.
At a board level, as foreshadowed at
the 2017 annual meeting, Joanna Perry
has retired from her position as an
independent non-executive director
and Chair of the Audit and Risk
Committee. Joanna provided
immeasurable support and guidance
to the board during her almost 11-year
tenure, and we wish her well in her
future endeavours.
Following Joanna's retirement,
Mary Jane Daly was appointed Chair
of the Audit and Risk Committee.
We are delighted that Mark Powell
joined the board, as an independent
non-executive director, on
1 October 2017. Mark is the former
Chief Executive of The Warehouse
Group, bringing with him extensive
experience in strategy setting and
execution, cultural and digital
transformation, property development,
mergers and acquisitions, joint-venture
management and capital raising.
The change in both the board and
leadership team is an opportunity to
inject fresh ideas into our business,
while maintaining a clear focus on
our investment objective and
execution of our business strategy.
Kiwi Property is an outstanding
company, built by a team of people
committed to building exceptional
experiences for New Zealanders.
We are well placed to continue to
deliver for our shareholders.
On behalf of the board, I thank
you for your continued support
of Kiwi Property.

We have grown revenues and

continuing to build a stronger
underlying portfolio of
property assets and future
value-add opportunities.
CHRIS GUDGEON
CHIEF EXECUTIVE
chief executive’s report
1313
In a period of consolidation,
Kiwi Property has posted a strong
performance for the six months to
30 September 2017. As always, we are
driven by our disciplined investment
strategy and focus on value creation.
The strength of the Company’s
performance is highlighted by:
— 5.0% growth in after-tax profit
1
to $47.9 million
— 13.6% growth in funds from
operations (FFO)
2
to $54.2 million
— 9.4% (2.8% like-for-like) growth in
rental income to $95.1 million
— 6.7% total (1.3% like-for-like)
growth in annual sales from our
shopping centres
— a total property portfolio value
of $3.1 billion
— high portfolio occupancy of
99.4% and weighted average
lease term of 5.3 years, and
— an increased interim cash dividend
to shareholders of 3.425 cents per
share, up 1.5% on the prior period
and in line with guidance.
We have grown revenues and increased
dividends, while continuing to build a
stronger underlying portfolio of
property assets and future value-add
opportunities. We have also continued
to deliver on our long-term investment
return goal, with total returns to
shareholders (since inception 24 years
ago) running at 9.4% per annum.
focused execution
With our major Wellington
redevelopments complete, our
key area of focus has been on
progressing our world-class town
centre vision for Sylvia Park.
Our construction projects at
Sylvia Park are progressing on
time and on budget:
— We are delighted to have secured
a range of accomplished restaurant
operators committed to delivering
an inspiring range of dining
experiences at the $8.9 million
‘The Grove’ dining precinct, which
will open from December 2017.
— The $80.2 million No. 1 Sylvia Park
office building is 50% leased
by income, with strong interest
in the remaining space.
— The $36.3 million central
carpark, due to complete in
November 2018, will deliver
~600 additional parking spaces
for our customers.
Sylvia Park galleria and south
carpark update
We have made good progress with
our proposed second level galleria
expansion at Sylvia Park. Our intention
with this proposed development is
to further increase Sylvia Park’s
attractiveness as New Zealand’s
most popular shopping centre
3
by
increasing our range of successful
local and international retail brands
with around 50 additional stores,
including brands new to New Zealand,
plus a new department store offer
and casual dining experience.

1. The reported profit has been prepared in accordance with New Zealand Equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards.
The reported profit information has been extracted from New Zealand generally accepted accounting practice (GAAP) and complies with the
interim financial statements which have been the subject of a review by an Independent Auditor pursuant to the External Reporting Board’s
New Zealand Standard on Review Engagements 2410.
2. FFO is an alternative non-GAAP performance measure used by Kiwi Property to assist investors in assessing the Company’s underlying
operating performance and to determine income available for distribution. FFO is a measure commonly used by real estate entities to describe
their underlying and recurring earnings from operations. FFO does not have a standard meaning prescribed by GAAP and therefore may not
be comparable to information presented by other entities. FFO is calculated by Kiwi Property in accordance with the Voluntary Best Practice
Guidelines issued by the Property Council of Australia. The reported FFO information has been extracted from the Company's interim financial
statements which have been the subject of a review by an Independent Auditor pursuant to the External Reporting Board’s New Zealand
Standard on Review Engagements 2410.
3. Sylvia Park was named as New Zealand’s favourite shopping centre to visit in a nationwide Nielsen survey. The survey was conducted by
Nielsen from 20 February to 13 March 2017 and had a sample size of 2,507 interviews, with a predicted margin of error of +/- 2.0% at the
95% confidence level.
You can read more about our
key metrics on pages 6 and 7.
We are delighted to have secured
a lease agreement with Farmers
for a new 8,000 sqm, two-level
flagship department store
4
. We are
in a very positive position in terms
of leasing prospects for our expansion
with this commitment and our
significant waiting list of domestic
and international retailers seeking
a Sylvia Park presence.
However, before proceeding with the
development, we are committed to
securing construction cost certainty
for our investors. Given the large
volume of construction projects
underway in Auckland now and
current capacity issues in the
construction sector, we have
committed to completing detailed
design documentation that can
be priced by our construction
contractors to secure a high level
of confidence with respect to the
cost of the development.
'For construction' design
documentation will be completed
this year and we expect to secure
construction cost pricing from the
market by the first quarter of 2018.
Subject to satisfactory construction
cost pricing outcomes, we expect to
be able to seek board approval for
the development by mid-2018.
clear strategy
Our property investment strategy
continues to focus on:
— the Auckland market, given its
superior prospects for economic,
population and employment
growth
— retail assets that can be expected
to deliver superior performance
over time, including dominant
regional shopping centres and
retail centres in locations favoured
by the Auckland Unitary Plan, and
— core government office
accommodation in Wellington
and Prime-grade office assets
in Auckland.
LONG -TERM VALUE C RE ATION
During the period, we received
Overseas Investment Office approval
for our acquisition of land at Drury,
south of Auckland.
Our vision for Drury is to develop a
town centre on our 51-hectare
landholding, staged over the next
20 years to coincide with predicted
population growth, household
formation and employment growth
in South Auckland. In conjunction
with Watercare, Auckland Transport
and neighbouring landowners and
developers, we are participating in
the Auckland Council-led structure
plan for the broader Drury/Opaheke
precinct. This is a precursor to
securing a town centre zoning to
provide for commercial and retail
uses, integrated with high and
medium-density residential
accommodation.
In July 2017, the Government
announced its commitment to a
$600 million co-investment (through
Crown Infrastructure Partners)
alongside local councils and private
investors for big new housing
developments. Our landholdings
at Drury will be a direct beneficiary
of this investment.
Post the reporting period, we acquired
a strategic parcel of land adjoining
Sylvia Park. Combined with our
existing landholdings on Carbine Road
and Clemow Drive, the acquisition of
this 3.2-hectare parcel for $27.1 million
allows us to consolidate a 7.7-hectare
landholding with a road bridge
connection to Sylvia Park over
the railway line.
While we have no immediate plans
to redevelop the land, it makes
good sense for us as a long-term
investor to increase our landholdings
in this strategic location. Our total
landholdings in Mount Wellington
now exceed 31 hectares.
15
4. Subject to final approval by the board of Kiwi Property.
We are delighted to announce
that we are proceeding with the
development of a vibrant new
dining and entertainment precinct,
to be named ‘Langdons Quarter’
at Northlands in Christchurch. This
project features the development
of a new food precinct beneath the
existing cinema complex, together
with seismic strengthening works
in that area.
This development is directly in line with
our strategy of providing compelling
food and dining experiences and
responds to customer demand.
The total cost of the development
is $18.8 million (which includes
$6.8 million of seismic strengthening
works) and will yield 6.0% (excluding
seismic costs) in the first full year post
completion. Construction is expected
to commence January 2018, with
tenancies expected to open for
trading from October 2018.
ASSET RECYCLING
Our asset recycling programme
progressed during the period, with
CBRE leading a sales campaign to
divest The Majestic Centre and
North City. Both assets have been
identified as being non-core to our
longer-term investment strategy,
and we have been encouraged
by the strong level of purchaser
interest from both domestic and
offshore sources.
On 13 November 2017 (post the
reporting period), we secured
an unconditional agreement
for the sale of The Majestic Centre
for $123.2 million. Settlement
will occur in December 2017.
The marketing and sales
process for North City is
underway and ongoing.
robust balance sheet
We maintain a robust balance sheet to
reduce financial risk, with conservative
gearing and diversified sources of debt.
During the period we:
— increased the value of our
property portfolio to $3.1 billion
following the acquisition of
further strategic landholdings in
Drury, South Auckland, together
with development activity,
predominantly at Sylvia Park
— raised $161 million of new equity
through a fully underwritten
pro-rata entitlement offer,
providing a net $157 million
to reduce bank debt
— further diversified our sources
of debt through the addition of
China Construction Bank and
HSBC to our pool of lenders
— increased our bank debt facilities
by $75 million to $1.3 billion to
provide further headroom for
ongoing investment activities
— reduced our overall gearing ratio
to 31.2%, down from 34.5%
— maintained a healthy 3.5-year
weighted average term to maturity
on our bank debt facilities, and
— maintained a low weighted average
cost of debt of 4.84%.
Post the period, Kiwi Property has
been assigned a corporate credit
rating of BBB (stable) from S&P
Global Ratings
5
and an issue credit
rating of BBB+ in respect of the
Company's existing fixed-rate
senior secured bonds.

5. Further information about S&P Global Ratings' credit rating scale is available at www.standardandpoors.com. A rating is not a
recommendation by any rating organisation to buy, sell, or hold Kiwi Property securities. The above rating is current as at the date
of this report and may be subject to suspension, revision or withdrawal at any time by S&P Global Ratings.
management changes
During the period we announced
changes to our leadership team.
Karl Retief resigned from the role
of GM Retail after 17 years with the
business. We are grateful to Karl for
his significant contribution during
his time with the Company. An
executive search for his replacement
is underway with a high level of
interest expressed from both
domestic and Australian candidates.
Miles Brown left the role of Head
of Transactions after 14 years with
the Company. Miles was instrumental
in helping the Company realise its
core property portfolio ambitions.
We wish both Karl and Miles the best
for the future.
We were pleased to announce the
appointment of Rebecca Oliphant to
the newly created role of Strategy
Manager. Rebecca is assisting with
the development and implementation
of Kiwi Property’s strategy, from both
a corporate and property investment
perspective.
outlook and guidance
The New Zealand economy
continues to perform strongly,
creating supportive property market
fundamentals. The Auckland office
market is experiencing high tenant
demand with low levels of new supply,
which is contributing to future rental
growth expectations.
The retail sector continues to record
positive sales growth nationally. This
is reflected in our own store sales,
which grew 6.7% in the year to
30 September 2017.
We remain confident that we have
the right strategy in place for our
shopping centres – one which focuses
on the social and experiential benefits
we can offer our customers. By
curating a vibrant, contemporary
and relevant retail mix in each of
our centres we will continue to build
portfolio resilience and maintain
investment performance. We are
also equally confident that our
property diversification strategy
provides our investors with through-
cycle resilience.
We have a strategy that favours
property exposures expected to
outperform, a healthy balance sheet,
a pipeline of future development
opportunities, and a well-tenanted
portfolio with a long weighted average
lease term – all aimed at securing
superior, risk-adjusted returns for
our shareholders. We also have an
experienced, dedicated management
team focused on delivering our
strategy, and a culture which is
built on excellence.
Shareholders will receive an interim
cash dividend for the six months
ended 30 September 2017 of
3.425 cents per share, up 1.5%
from the prior period and in line
with guidance. The board has
confirmed that the Dividend
Reinvestment Plan will be available
to eligible shareholders for the period.
No discount will be applied to the
price at which the shares are issued.
Looking ahead, we continue to
project the cash dividend for the
year ending 31 March 2018 to be
6.85 cents per share.
We thank you for continuing to
support Kiwi Property and hope you
enjoy reading our interim report.

appropriate for profit-oriented entities, and with International
Financial Reporting Standards.
The interim financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with NZ IAS 34 – Interim Financial Reporting
and IAS 34 – Interim Financial Reporting and should be read
in conjunction with the 2017 annual report.
The interim financial statements for the six months ended

depreciation recovered on the PricewaterhouseCoopers
Centre (PwC Centre), Christchurch
The impairment of the PwC Centre in the year ended
31 March 2012 (resulting from the 2010 and 2011 Canterbury
earthquakes) and the associated insurance recovery triggered
a potential tax liability of $5.1 million for depreciation
recovered. Following the earthquakes, the Government
introduced legislation which provides, in certain circumstances,
rollover relief for taxpayers affected by the earthquakes where
insurance income will be used to acquire or develop
replacement property in the Canterbury region. As at
30 September 2017, the Group continues to qualify for this
relief. As such no tax is payable in the current period in respect
of the depreciation recovered. A deferred tax liability of
$5.1 million continues to be provided as at 30 September 2017.

On 7 September 2017, the Group secured an additional
$100 million of three, four and five-year facilities from
HSBC and an additional $100 million six-year facility
from China Construction Bank. The Group paid down
$125 million of shorter dated facilities from existing lenders.

the Group. No mortgage has been granted over the Group's
properties, however, the Deed allows a mortgage to be
granted if an event of default occurs.

key estimate:
fair value of interest rate derivatives
The fair values of interest rate derivatives are determined from
valuations prepared by independent treasury advisers using
valuation techniques classified as Level 2 in the fair value
hierarchy (31 March 2017: Level 2). These are based on the
present value of estimated future cash flows based on the terms
and maturities of each contract and the current market interest
rates at balance date. Fair values also reflect the current
creditworthiness of the derivative counterparties. These values
are verified against valuations prepared by the respective
counterparties. The valuations were based on market rates at
30 September 2017 of between 1.96% for the 90-day BKBM
and 3.27% for the 10-year swap rate (31 March 2017: 2.00% and
3.45%, respectively).

independent review report
report on the interim financial statements
We have reviewed the accompanying financial statements of Kiwi Property Group Limited (the “Company”) and its controlled entities
(together the “Group”) on pages 20 to 33, which comprise the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 September 2017, and
the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement
of cash flows for the period ended on that date and a summary of accounting policies and selected explanatory notes.
directors’ responsibility for the
interim financial statements
The directors are responsible on behalf of the Company for
the preparation and presentation of these financial statements
in accordance with New Zealand Equivalent to International
Accounting Standard 34 Interim Financial Reporting (NZ IAS 34)
and for such internal controls as the directors determine are
necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements
that are free from material misstatement, whether due to
fraud or error.
our responsibility
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the
accompanying financial statements based on our review.
We conducted our review in accordance with the New Zealand
Standard on Review Engagements 2410 Review of Financial
Statements Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity
(NZ SRE 2410). NZ SRE 2410 requires us to conclude whether
anything has come to our attention that causes us to believe
that the financial statements, taken as a whole, are not prepared
in all material respects, in accordance with NZ IAS 34. As the
auditor of the Company, NZ SRE 2410 requires that we comply
with the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the annual
financial statements.
A review of financial statements in accordance with NZ SRE 2410
is a limited assurance engagement. The auditor performs
procedures, primarily consisting of making enquiries, primarily
of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters,
and applying analytical and other review procedures. The
procedures performed in a review are substantially less than
those performed in an audit conducted in accordance with
International Standards on Auditing (New Zealand). Accordingly,
we do not express an audit opinion on these financial
statements.
We are independent of the Group. Our firm carries out other
services for the Group in the areas of audit, other assurance and
executive remuneration benchmarking services. The provision
of these other services has not impaired our independence.
conclusion
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that
causes us to believe that these financial statements of the
Group are not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance
with NZ IAS 34.
who we report to
This report is made solely to the Company’s shareholders, as a
body. Our review work has been undertaken so that we might
state to the Company’s shareholders those matters which we
are required to state to them in our review report and for no
other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do
not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the
Company and the Company’s shareholders, as a body, for our
review procedures, for this report, or for the conclusion we
have formed.
