1Investore Property Limited | Interim Report for the six months ended 30 September 2017Investore has been designated as "Non-Standard" (NS) by NZX.

Investore Property
Limited (Investore) is

performing in line with

forecasts set out at the

time of listing and

delivering solid results

to shareholders.

Investore occupies a unique position in

the New Zealand publicly-listed property

sector with its sole focus on standalone

large-format retail properties. Initially

incorporated in 2015 as a subsidiary of

Stride Property Limited (Stride), Investore

was strategically demerged from Stride

and listed on the NZX Main Board

securities market in July 2016. Since

then, the performance of Investore’s

investment properties has been in line

with the prospective financial information

contained in Investore’s Product

Disclosure Statement at the time of its

IPO. The portfolio is managed by Stride

Investment Management Limited (SIML), a

company forming part of Stride Property

Group, which is listed on the NZX.

Investore has been designated as

a “Non-Standard” (NS) issuer by

NZX Limited (NZX). A copy of the

waivers granted by NZX in respect

of Investore can be found at

www.nzx.com/companies/IPL.

Further waivers granted by NZX which

relate to Investore can be found at

www.nzx.com/companies/SPG.

Through its portfolio of quality standalone

large-format retail properties, Investore

provides shareholders with stable

and enduring returns from a segment

of the property sector that plays a

significant role in the day-to-day lives

of New Zealanders. Anchor tenants are

nationally recognised tenants that seek

long-term leases in visible and easily

accessible urban locations. They typically

occupy more than 50% of the net lettable

area of the property, and are supported

by a small number of specialty tenants at

each property.

The anchor tenants are nationally

recognised retailers operating in the

grocery, bulk goods retailing, general

merchandise, hardware and home

maintenance, and convenience retailing

sectors. Consumer demand for these

products is consistent and current

growth projections, particularly in New

Zealand’s urban areas, are encouraging

for Investore’s shareholders.

The resilient and stable rental income,

derived from standalone large format

retail properties, can be reliably forecast

over the medium to long-term and is more

resistant to changes in the wider market.

This makes Investore a particularly

attractive investment option for those

seeking returns balanced with constancy

and steadiness.

About Investore

3Investore Property Limited | Interim Report for the six months ended 30 September 20172Investore Property Limited | Interim Report for the six months ended 30 September 2017

The physical distribution is well placed
to take advantage of the continuing

population shift into regional New

Zealand, as well as benefiting from the

rapid population growth of the main

centres.

Major tenants include:

– General Distributors (Countdown)

– Foodstuffs

– Mitre 10

– The Warehouse

Specialty retailers comprise the balance

of tenancies.

The illustration on page 4 highlights the

geographic diversification of Investore’s

property portfolio, with an emphasis on

the rapidly growing greater Auckland

region, the urban areas of Wellington and

Christchurch, and a strong representation

in developing regions.

Typically, Investore’s properties:

– have an anchor tenant occupying more

than 50% of the net lettable area,

usually more than 2,000m

2


– feature no more than 15 specialty

tenants

– all have long weighted-average lease

terms ( WALT )

– are low-maintenance, single floor,

large, free-standing and rectangular

on a concrete slab

– have easy vehicle access and ample

car parking facilities; and

– have leases structured to provide

stable income, net of operating costs.

Investore’s portfolio is in
excellent shape and the

company is poised to take

advantage of the positive

market conditions for new

investment opportunities

in the foreseeable future.

Investore has now been a listed entity

for over a year. The results for the first

half of the FY18 financial year are in

line with forecasts set out at the time

of listing.

During the period, refurbishments

were carried out by the tenant on

five properties located at Rangiora,

Upper Hutt, Timaru, St James Hamilton,

and Kaiapoi. SIML is working with

the tenant to co-ordinate and where

appropriate fund refurbishments subject

to a corresponding increase in rental

income. To date, one refurbishment

has been completed costing $728,000

with a corresponding rental increase

of $76,806 per annum.

Investore recently completed the

development of two new retail units

in Invercargill and new development

opportunities exist for recently acquired

sites adjacent to an existing property

in Timaru.

Post balance date, Investore announced

the acquisition of three Bunnings

properties at Hamilton, Rotorua and

Palmerston North, for $78.5 million.

The acquisition of the Bunnings

properties will provide diversification to

the tenant mix, with Bunnings equating

to 10% of the portfolio contract rental,

and the new twelve year lease terms will

provide a higher proportion of structured

growth into Investore’s portfolio with

fixed 2.5% per annum rental uplifts.

The acquisition remains subject to

shareholder approval, with the meeting

expected to occur early in 2018.

In combination with this proposed

acquisition, Investore is considering

a range of capital management

initiatives, which include options

around the implementation of a share

buy-back scheme and a bond issue,

and repositioning of the portfolio

to enhance shareholder returns by

optimising its capital structure.

An important feature of Investore’s

corporate structure is its Board of

Directors, which includes Independent

Directors Mike Allen and Kate Healy.

At Investore’s Annual Meeting of

Shareholders, held on 8 September

2017, the shareholders approved

amending Investore’s Constitution to

permit the appointment of another

independent director to increase the

independent representation on the

Board for the benefit of shareholders

and the company, and this process has

now commenced.

The Board of Investore confirms

guidance for the company’s annual cash

dividend for FY18 at 7.46cps. This is in

line with the indicative range provided

in the disclosure information prior to

Investore’s listing. The second quarterly

dividend of 1.86cps is due to be paid on

19 December 2017.

I look forward to reporting our full year’s

results to you at the conclusion of the

F Y18 year.

Investore Property
Limited has grown

from a strong beginning,

managed by professionals

with extensive experience

in the property sector.

Manager’s Report

Philip Littlewood

Chief Executive Officer

Stride Investment Management Limited

Stride Investment Management

Limited (SIML) has actively supported

the growth of Investore since its strategic

divestment from Stride Property Limited,

and continues to see significant potential

for the company. SIML, as Manager,

is pleased that Investore’s shareholders

are receiving returns in line with the

forecasts when Investore listed on the

NZX in July 2016. A key part of SIML’s

role is to actively manage the properties

to increase their value and income growth

prospects. This programme compliments

the improvements made by tenants

themselves and continues to be a key

factor in lifting the overall value of

Investore’s property portfolio.

The company’s net rental income was

$22.2 million, corporate expenses were

contained to $2.7 million, and profit

before other income and income tax was

$13.6 million for the six months to 30

September 2017. Investore will provide

a comparison of its FY18 results against

the prospective financial information

contained in the Product Disclosure

Statement dated 10 June 2016, when it

releases its annual results for the full year

ended 31 March 2018.

Long weighted average lease terms

(WALT) are a feature of this sector of the

property market and, at 30 September

2017, more than two thirds of the leases

in Investore’s property portfolio run until

2033 or beyond.

These are very positive fundamentals on

which to build for the future. As further

investment opportunities arise, they will

be evaluated and presented to the Board

of Investore. In the meantime, the existing

portfolio will be regularly reviewed

and rebalanced to ensure that its

performance is consistent with Investore’s

primary investment objective.

Valuation basis

The Board has reviewed the fair value of the investment properties as at 30 September 2017 on an asset by

asset basis after considering recent comparable transactional evidence of market sales and leasing activity

and is satisfied that there has been no significant change to the overall carrying value, other than the following

investment property which was subject to an independent valuation due to the acquisition of the adjacent site

and significant capital expenditure works undertaken.

Corner Victoria & Browne Streets, TimaruSavills11,2108,960

This valuation was performed by an independent registered valuer, Savills (NZ) Limited (Savills), who holds an

annual practising certificate with the Valuers Registration Board and is a member of the New Zealand Institute

of Valuers. The valuation is dated effective 30 September 2017. Valuers are engaged on terms ensuring no

valuer values the same investment property for more than three consecutive years.

With regard to this investment property, the valuer took into account:

– occupancy (leased area as a proportion of the total net lettable area) (100% at balance date);

– average lease term (weighted average lease term (WALT) at balance date is 16.72 years); and

– discount rate (7.79%).

The capitalisation rate was 6.04%.

Investment property measurements are categorised as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy as inputs for the

valuations are not based on observable market data. During the period, there were no transfers of investment

properties between levels of the fair value hierarchy.

Total active interest rate derivative contracts (notional)230,000190,000220,000

At 30 September 2017, the fixed interest rates ranged from 2.19% to 3.01% (30 Sep 2016: 2.18% to 2.54%,

31 Mar 2017: 2.18% to 3.01%), and the weighted average interest rate was 2.48% (30 Sep 2016: 2.33%,

31 Mar 2017: 2.42%). Gains and losses recognised in the cash flow hedge reserve in equity (note 11) on interest

rate derivative contracts as at 30 September 2017 will be reclassified in the same period in which

the hedged forecast cash flows affect profit or loss, until the repayment of the bank borrowings.

As at 30 September 2017, the fair value of the interest rate derivatives was $899,351 (30 Sep 2016:

($1,381,012), 31 Mar 2017: $2,702,054).

The fair values of interest rate derivatives are determined from valuations prepared by independent treasury

advisors using valuation techniques classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy (30 Sep 2016: Level 2, 31

Mar 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 as at balance date. Fair values also

reflect the current creditworthiness of the derivative 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

(30 Sep 2016: 2.20% and 2.44%, 31 Mar 2017: 2.00% and 3.45%).

As at 30 September 2017, the percentage of drawn debt hedged was 88% (30 Sep 2016: 73%, 31 Mar 2017: 84%).

On 12 July 2016, Investore broke interest rate swaps with a notional value of $110 million for a cost of $3,679,860.

Investore’s bank facility consists of Facility A for $165 million expiring 9 June 2019, Facility B for $165 million

expiring 9 June 2021 and Facility C for $40 million expiring 9 June 2020. Investore’s secured borrowings

are via syndicated senior secured facilities with ANZ Bank New Zealand Limited, Bank of New Zealand,

Commonwealth Bank of Australia and Westpac New Zealand Limited. The bank security on the facilities is

managed through a security agent who holds a first registered mortgage on all the investment properties

owned by Investore and a registered first ranking security interest under a General Security Deed over

substantially all the assets of Investore. The interest rate on the facility was 2.94% as at 30 September 2017

(30 Sep 2016: 3.27%, 31 Mar 2017: 3.05%).

Investore's debt facilities are subject to the following key covenants:

– The bank loan to value ratio (LVR) will not exceed 65%. Investore's debt margins are structured to increase if

the LVR exceeds 55%, with a further step up if the LVR exceeds 60%. If the LVR exceeds 65%, Investore's

facility agreement permits Investore time to resolve the LVR breach by way of asset disposals or raising

additional equity.

– The ratio of earnings before interest and tax to total interest and financing costs must be greater than 1.75

times. Investore received a waiver from the syndicate to exclude the cost of $3,679,860 for breaking the

interest rate swaps from this ratio on the 30 September 2016 and 31 March 2017 calculation dates.

– The WALT is at all times greater than six years.

Investore has been compliant with bank covenants during the relevant periods.

There is only one class of shares, being ordinary shares, and they rank equally with each other. All issued shares

are fully paid and have no par value.

Investore has appointed Stride Investment Management Limited (SIML) as its exclusive provider of ongoing

real estate investment management services. The management agreement between Investore and SIML and

Investore’s Constitution each provide that, for such time as SIML is the manager of Investore, SIML will have the

right to appoint two directors to the Investore Board. Tim Storey and John Harvey have been appointed to the

Investore Board by SIML under this right.

Ordinarily, all directors of a company that has its shares quoted on the NZX Main Board would be elected

by shareholders by way of ordinary resolution, but NZX has issued a waiver to Investore which permits SIML

to have the right to appoint two directors to the Investore Board. NZX has also issued a waiver to allow the

directors appointed by SIML to vote on resolutions of the Board to the extent that those directors are restricted

from voting on the grounds that they are “interested” (as defined in the Companies Act 1993) in the matter

solely due to being directors of SIML but for no other reason. The chairperson of the Board is a director elected

by shareholders not associated with SIML.

Note 11: Equity (continued)

The Investore Board proposed to amend Investore’s Constitution at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders,

held on 8 September 2017, to allow for an additional independent director to be appointed. These amendments

were approved by shareholders at the Annual Meeting and Investore’s Constitution was amended. A copy of the

amended Constitution is available on Investore’s website.

In summary, the key amendments made to the Constitution were to provide that:

– the Board will consist of a minimum of four directors and a maximum of five directors;

– where the Board consists of four directors, at least two of the directors must be independent of SIML;

– where the Board consists of five directors, at least three of the directors must be independent of SIML;

– the quorum for meetings of the Board will be three directors, irrespective of whether the directors have been

appointed by SIML or by shareholders; and

– written resolutions of the Board will be valid if signed by 75% or more of the directors.

An issuer which does not comply with all of the requirements of the NZX Listing Rules may be granted listing

with the designation ‘Non-Standard’ or ‘NS’. A term of the waiver granted to Investore to permit SIML to have

the right to appoint two directors was that Investore would be given a Non-Standard Designation upon its listing

and the quotation of its shares.

As at 30 September 2017, Stride has a cornerstone shareholding in Investore of 19.9%, being 52,091,786

shares. Stride is not subject to any escrow arrangements that prevent it from selling or otherwise disposing

of any shares that it holds. However, Stride advised Investore in June 2016 that it had no present intention to

sell or otherwise dispose of any of the 19.9% shareholding in Investore. Other than in the case of a proposed

transaction affecting Investore shareholders generally, Stride does not intend to review its optimal shareholding

level in Investore until 1 April 2018 at the earliest.

Report on the interim financial statements
We have reviewed the accompanying interim financial statements of Investore Property Limited (the “Company”) on

pages 13 to 30, which comprise the statement of financial position as at 30 September 2017, and the statement of

comprehensive income, the statement of changes in equity and the statement of cash flows for the six month period

ended on that date, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory notes.

Directors’ responsibility for the interim financial statements

The Directors of Investore Property Limited are responsible on behalf of the Company for the preparation and

presentation of these interim financial statements in accordance with New Zealand Equivalent to International

Accounting Standard 34 Interim Financial Reporting (NZ IAS 34) and International Accounting Standard 34 Interim

Financial Reporting (IAS 34), and for such internal control as the Directors determine is 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 interim 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 interim financial statements,

taken as a whole, are not prepared in all material respects, in accordance with NZ IAS 34 and 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 interim financial statements.

We are independent of the Company. Other than in our capacity as auditor we have no relationship with, or interests

in, the Company.

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that these interim financial

statements of the Company are not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with NZ IAS 34 and 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.
