Our portfolio transformation has delivered stronger earnings allowing steady dividend growth to

shareholders.

Gearing, Funding & Interest Rate
Management

15

Further divestment of non Core assets will see the portfolio repositioned to the lower end of its

retail band (15-25%) and higher end of industrial band (40-50%) over next 12-18 months.

Target policy gearing range of between 30-40%.

Argosy maintains strong relationships with its banking partners ANZ Bank New Zealand Limited,

Bank of New Zealand and The Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation Limited, and

remains well within its banking covenants.

Argosy restructured its syndicated bank facility in May 2017, February 2018 and October 2018.

Market Update

Change image

NZ Market Update
18

Office

Flexible working environments driving disconnect between employment growth and net absorption. Structural

trend is occupiers relocating taking ~10% less space per person than they had previously.

Rental growth impacted by new supply and there has been an increase in incentives to reflect this.

The 2016 earthquake created structural change in the Wellington market, strong demand, low vacancy and

stock levels. There is a shortage of large floor plate/high quality stock with upward rental growth pressure as a

result. Prime vacancy is minimal given pending new supply. Market vacancy is mostly C grade stock.

Industrial

Steady economic growth driving occupier demand. Offshore capital flows driving yields/cap rates lower.

Continued low supply forecast with 1.4% new supply expected per annum between 2018-2022.

Land values are at historic highs.

New rental benchmarks being set with ~$130-140m2 for prime warehouse.

Vacancy at historic lows for both prime and secondary (< 2%).

Retail

Generally a more negative retail spending outlook. Waning migration, increasing fuel prices and flat housing

prices are providing headwinds.

However, some offset from rising minimum wage and a booming tourism sector.

Approximately 200,000m2 of retail space to be added by 2022.

Continued increase in online retailing.

Large format retail expected to see biggest rental growth.

Outlook
19

New Zealand economic outlook is still positive with economic growth forecast. Global volatility

heightened, some flow through to local market.

Interest rates expected to remain supportive over the next few years.

Rental growth to continue.

Green assets will continue to see increase in demand from tenants.

Vendor conditions remain favourable. Continued focus for Argosy on divestment of non Core

assets to reinvest elsewhere or to strengthen the balance sheet.

Acquisition environment challenging.

We will continue to focus on value add opportunities with a green overlay.
