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

the hum of happy diners.

Rental income growth was driven by full-period

This strong rental performance, partially offset by

an increase in interest and finance charges and

MARK FORD

CHAIR

chair's report

09

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.

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.

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.

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.

a Global Security Deed (the 'Deed'). Pursuant to the Deed,

a security interest has been granted over all of the assets of

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.
