INTERIM REPORT 2019

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE:
CDL Investments New Zealand Limited (“CDI”) advises that the Company has made an unaudited

operating profit after tax of $15.10 million for the six month period ending 30 June 2019 (2018:

$25.47 million). Operating profit before tax was $20.98 million (2018: $35.38 million).

Property sales and other income for the period was $40.29 million (2018: $60.23 million). Net Asset

Backing (at cost) for the period under review was 77.6 cents per share (2018: 72.8 cents per share).

PORTFOLIO UPDATE:

Compared to the same period last year when sales of its Auckland (Greville Road) and Hamilton

(Magellan Heights) subdivisions contributed to its strong first half results, it is clear that market

conditions for residential sections have softened and this is clearly reflected in these results.

Despite these challenging conditions, CDI was able to adjust its sales programme and recorded

good sales at its Hastings and Christchurch subdivisions in the first half of the year.

CDI has also taken advantage of the current market to purchase an additional 8.17 hectares of

land in the Hawkes Bay region for development in the medium term. Agreements for an additional

25.77 hectares are due to settle before the end of the year subject to fulfilment of conditions.

CDI is also progressing well with its commercial developments at Stonebrook (Rolleston) and

Prestons Park (Christchurch) and remains on target for completion and occupancy by Q3 2020.

COMMENTARY AND OUTLOOK:

The results reflect the current market conditions and both the Board and Management are

conscious that these challenging conditions will continue for the remainder of 2019.

That said, we are optimistic about improving our sales volume in the third and fourth quarters of this year.

CDI has a good inventory of sections for sale across our developments and we are therefore optimising our

sales programme in the areas where demand is the highest in order to maximise our revenue.

In addition, a soft market can present the company with opportunities to grow our land portfolio.

We are therefore actively looking to acquire land in key locations which will add value to our

current and future development programmes together with other development opportunities.

Our focus remains on the delivering the best possible result for 2019 to our shareholders. The

Board is confident that we will deliver a stronger sales performance in the second half of 2019 and

that this will be reflected in the year-end results.

9. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARD

During the period, the Group adopted one new accounting standard, NZ IFRS 16 “Leases”, using the modified

retrospective approach. This standard requires a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability to be

recognised on the balance sheet in respect of the leased assets. The lease expenses will be replaced with an

interest expense and an amortization expense in the income statement. This has no material effect on the

Group’s financial statements.

As at 30 June 2019, the Group recorded two motor vehicle leases as right-of-use assets totalling $30,000

(classified under plant, furniture and equipment). The corresponding lease liabilities are classified under

current liabilities of $13,000 and non-current liabilities of $17,000. The leases had unexpired terms between

26 to 43 months. The incremental borrowing rate of 14.55% was used to discount the leased assets and

liabilities. The incremental borrowing rate used in the transition required significant judgement and is subject

to further review and refinement. During the period, new costs were incurred on the amortization of right-

of-use assets of $2,000 and on the lease interest expense of $2,000. The principal repayment of the lease

liabilities during the period was $8,000.
