Products – New – Creation of Industre
Stride’s product strategy is to grow its directly-held portfolio of commercial properties that may
be used to establish new investment management products, and to support and grow Stride’s
established products. This was evidenced during the period in review with the establishment of
Industre:
W strideproperty.co.nz
• Industre will be Stride’s sector-specific investment management product focussed on
the industrial property sector in New Zealand, with a majority weighting to the Auckland
market. The vision for Industre is to grow a significant portfolio of high-quality New
Zealand industrial properties
• Industre is a joint venture with a group of international institutional investors, through a
special purpose vehicle and advised by J.P. Morgan Asset Management (together,
JPMAM)
• Initially JPMAM will commit approximately $70m to the establishment of Industre and
SPL will contribute 12 industrial properties owned by it, as well as the agreement to
acquire 439 Rosebank Road, Avondale, which SPL is party to. SPL will initially have an
approximately 70% shareholding in Industre, with JPMAM holding the remainder
• JPMAM has additionally allocated a further $115m of capital to fund near term growth
initiatives, subject to meeting certain investment return and approval thresholds, taking
JPMAM’s total equity committed to $185m. This $115m of JPMAM committed capital
will result in Industre having capacity to fund initial portfolio growth of over $190m
• Over the long term, the strategy is for JPMAM to fund further portfolio growth until the
respective shareholdings in the portfolio are 75% / 25% (JPMAM / SPL)
• The establishment of Industre is subject to Overseas Investment Office approval
Conclusion – Looking Ahead
• Stride’s strategy for its investment management business is to establish a group of
commercial property investment management products to provide growth in our
investment management business and continue to review opportunities in markets
adjacent to core commercial property sectors
• The recent growth of SPL’s industrial portfolio and the establishment of Industre,
together with the growth of Investore, are important steps in our delivery of this strategy
• Stride’s FY20 cash dividend guidance remains unchanged at a combined 9.91cps

Stride Property Group Interim Report for the six months ended 30 September 201954Stride Property Group Interim Report for the six months ended 30 September 2019
Dear Shareholders, on behalf of the Board and the Executive of Stride Property
Group (Stride), we are pleased to provide an update on the activities and results
of Stride for the first six months of the 2020 financial year (HY20). This six months
has been characterised by a strong focus on execution of the Stride strategy,
through the creation of the Industre joint venture, which was announced in
September. As shareholders will be aware, Stride’s strategy is built on the four
strategic pillars of performance, people, places and products, and as usual we
report our activity and results against each of these four pillars.
Performance The six months to 30 September 2019 saw a strong result for
Stride. While Stride had sold the Corinthian Drive, Auckland office building with
effect from 1 April 2019, net rental income was still higher than for the comparable
period in FY19, due to higher rental from the existing portfolio and additional net
rental income from the acquisition of The Concourse, Auckland, which was settled
in June 2019.
In addition, Stride’s management fee income was $1.9 million higher, contributed
to by $1 million in performance fees earned from Investore Property Limited
(Investore), as a result of Investore shareholder returns of 53.6% over the two year
measurement period to 30 September 2019, and higher transactional fees earned
on project management of developments, leasing transactions and disposals.
While corporate expenses were higher than the comparable period (HY20:
$11.6 million; HY19: $9.4 million), driven primarily by $1.4 million of one-off project
costs related to the establishment of Industre and higher staff costs as a result of
having the full Stride executive in place from January 2019, profit before other
income and income tax was largely consistent with the prior period, at $17.9 million
for HY20, compared with $18.0 million for HY19.
Overall, this led to profit before income tax of $44.8 million, $0.8 million higher
than the comparable period in HY19. Profit after income tax for HY20 was
$37.4 million, down from $40.2 million for HY19 and reflects a higher income tax
expense for HY20. The current period income tax reflects a $1.8 million tax expense
on the depreciation recovery on the sale of the property at Corinthian Drive, while
the prior period had a tax benefit of $1.6 million resulting from breaking $4 million
in interest rate swaps.
People The Board refresh has continued during FY20, with the appointment of
Nick Jacobson to the Boards of Stride Property Limited (SPL) and Stride Investment
Management Limited (SIML) in July 2019, and the retirement of David Van
Schaardenburg from the Boards of SPL and SIML in August 2019. Nick has
extensive international real estate advisory and capital markets experience, which
will be very beneficial for Stride as it continues to execute its strategy of growing
its real estate investment management business.
In addition, Stride continues to have a keen focus on people, as we are well aware
that establishing a portfolio of properties with enduring demand, and continuing
to implement Stride’s strategy of growing its investment management business,
will require a strong, committed team of people. This is evidenced by the increase
in corporate costs for the six months to 30 September 2019 – these costs are
not just people costs, but also for the ongoing development of our people, which
we believe contributes to a productive management team. The commitment and
expertise of our people is evidenced by the successful execution of several
projects, including the establishment of Industre, the sale of the Corinthian Drive
property, the sale of three large format retail assets to Investore, and a number of
development projects underway.

Products As we stated in our Annual Report for the year ended 31 March 2019,
Stride’s strategy is to establish a group of sector-specific commercial property
products, with Stride co-investing in the products to ensure long-term alignment
with investors. Over the short to medium term, Stride will look to use its balance
sheet to build portfolios of assets that can be used to establish these sector-
specific products.
Set out on pages 8 and 9 is an overview of Industre, which will be Stride’s industrial-
focussed product. This product is evidence of our strategy in action, and represents
what we see for the future of Stride – we will continue to grow base portfolios
of assets in specific sectors, and will seek to create products where portfolio and
market conditions allow.
Dividend Stride’s dividend policy, as declared by the Boards of SPL and SIML,
is to target a cash dividend to shareholders that is between 95% and 100% of
its distributable profit
4
.
The Boards reconfirm guidance for a combined annual cash dividend for SPL
and SIML of 9.91 cents per share to shareholders for FY20. The second quarterly
combined cash dividend for SPL and SIML of 2.4775 cents per share is due to
be paid on 10 December 2019.
Future — Delivery of Strategy As stated, we see our value proposition as identifying
and managing properties with enduring demand and managing investment
management products which deliver leading returns for our shareholders and
investors, with SPL owning a share in each specific property sector product. This
can be most recently demonstrated in the establishment of Industre, which is
outlined on the following pages.
We look forward to the next six months of the financial year, during which we hope
to progress towards satisfaction of the conditions to the establishment of Industre,
as well as building portfolios of products that could be used as the base for future
Stride products.
Thank you for your ongoing support of our company.
Places Stride remains focussed on developing a portfolio of places with enduring
demand, which can be utilised as the base for future products. SPL completed
the sale of the Corinthian Drive, Albany, Auckland, office building for $50.5 million
on 1 April 2019.
On 19 November 2019 Stride announced the conditional sale of SPL’s three
remaining large format retail assets, comprising Bunnings (Mt Roskill), Mt Wellington
Shopping Centre and Bay Central Shopping Centre for $140.75 million. This sale
remains subject to a number of conditions, including Investore shareholder approval
and consent of the Overseas Investment Office.
The SPL Board considers it has capacity to further grow its portfolio of commercial
properties with a view towards its future strategy of establishing sector specific
investment management products.
During the six months in review, SIML completed 127 leasing transactions for
SPL, resulting in an increase on previous rentals of +3.0% on an annualised
basis. This is evidenced in the improved valuations across the portfolio as at
30 September 2019.

The establishment of Industre Property (Industre) evidences Stride’s execution of
this strategy. Stride announced the establishment of Industre in September 2019.
Industre is Stride’s new industrial property focussed investment management
product, which was created following the strategic and successfully delivered
initiative to grow our portfolio of industrial property. The key facts are:
• Industre is a joint venture with a group of international institutional investors,
through a special purpose vehicle and advised by J.P. Morgan Asset Management
(together, JPMAM).
• Industre will own and develop for long term income producing purposes industrial
property in New Zealand, primarily located in the Auckland region.
• Over time, Stride will seek to establish a group of
sector-specific commercial property products
• Over the short to medium term, Stride will look
to use its balance sheet to build portfolios
of assets that can be used to establish these
sector-specific products
• Stride will co-invest in our products to ensure we
have a long-term alignment with our investors
Execution
of Strategy
Creation
of Industre
Stride’s stated
strategy:
• SPL will contribute all of its existing industrial properties to Industre, which is
intended to grow through the acquisition and development of industrial properties
over time. Industre will be managed by SIML.
• The vision for Industre is to grow a significant portfolio of high-quality New
Zealand industrial properties with a majority weighting to the Auckland market.
• Initially JPMAM will commit approximately $70 million to the establishment of
Industre and SPL will contribute 12 industrial properties owned by it, as well as
the agreement to acquire 439 Rosebank Road, Avondale, which SPL is party
to. SPL will initially have an approximately 70% shareholding in Industre, with
JPMAM holding the remainder.
• JPMAM has additionally allocated a further $115 million of capital to fund near
term growth initiatives, subject to meeting certain investment return and approval
thresholds, taking JPMAM’s total equity committed to $185 million. This $115 million
of JPMAM committed capital will result in Industre having capacity to fund initial
portfolio growth of over $190 million.
• Over the long term, the strategy is for JPMAM to fund further portfolio growth
until the respective shareholdings in the portfolio are 75% / 25% (JPMAM/SPL).
• The establishment of Industre is subject to Overseas Investment Office approval.

Notes to the Consolidated Interim Financial Statements — For the six months ended 30 September 2019
This section sets out Stride Property Group’s accounting policies that relate to the unaudited
consolidated interim financial statements (financial statements) as a whole. Where an
accounting policy is specific to a note, the policy is described within the note to which it relates.
1.1 Reporting entity
The financial statements presented are those of Stride Property Limited (SPL) and Stride Investment
Management Limited (SIML), each of SPL and SIML being a “Stapled Entity”, and together the Stride Property
Group (Stride). For accounting purposes, stapling gives rise to the combination of the Stapled Entities into a
consolidated group. For the purposes of financial reporting, one of the combining entities is required to be
identified as the parent entity of the consolidated group. In the case of Stride, SPL has been identified as the
parent for the purposes of preparing the consolidated financial statements.
SPL is principally involved in the ownership of investment properties in New Zealand and SIML is principally
involved in the management of real estate investment entities in New Zealand. SPL and SIML are both
domiciled in New Zealand, are both registered under the Companies Act 1993 and are both FMC reporting
entities under Part 7 of the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013.
Shares of SPL and SIML are stapled and quoted on the Main Board equity securities market of NZX under the
ticker code SPG.
The financial statements were approved for issue by the Board of Directors of SPL (SPL Board) and the Board
of Directors of SIML (SIML Board), together the “Boards”, on 25 November 2019.
1.2 Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with New Zealand Generally Accepted Accounting
Practice (NZ GAAP), New Zealand International Accounting Standard 34 (NZ IAS 34) Interim Financial
Reporting and International Accounting Standard 34 (IAS 34) Interim Financial Reporting.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost basis except for assets and liabilities
stated at fair value as disclosed.
The financial statements have been presented in New Zealand dollars and have been rounded to the nearest
thousand, unless stated otherwise.
The financial statements do not contain all the disclosures normally included in an annual financial report,
and should be read in conjunction with the audited 2019 annual financial statements.
1.0 General Information
Notes to the Consolidated Interim Financial Statements — For the six months ended 30 September 2019
1.3 Adoption of new standard – NZ IFRS 16 Leases
Stride has adopted NZ IFRS 16 Leases from 1 April 2019 which has replaced the previous guidance in NZ IAS
17 Leases. As a lessor of investment property leased to customers, NZ IFRS 16 has resulted in no changes
to the recognition and measurement of leases as compared to existing accounting policies. However, where
Stride is a lessee it is required to recognise a lease liability reflecting future lease payments and a right-of-use
asset applying the fair value model given the ground lease is held solely for the purpose of holding the related
investment property building.
SIML has an operating lease for its head office where SIML is the lessee and SPL had four operating leases as
at 31 March 2019 where SPL was the lessee. There was one at each of the following properties:
• 7 - 9 Fanshawe Street, Auckland,
• 33 Customhouse Quay, Wellington (note 3.2),
• NorthWest Shopping Centre, Auckland, and
• NorthWest Two, Auckland.
As a lessee, Stride has applied NZ IFRS 16 using the simplified retrospective approach. Under this approach,
Stride has recognised a lease liability of $23,435,000 as at 1 April 2019, representing the present value of the
remaining lease cash flows. A corresponding right-of-use asset is embedded in the fair value of the underlying
investment property and has been added to property, plant and equipment respectively. The prior period
comparatives have not been restated, nor has an adjustment been made to equity, as permitted under the
specific transitional provisions in the standard.
On 29 April 2019, the option period held by Westgate Town Centre Limited (WTCL) to acquire SPL’s NorthWest
Two development came to an end and SPL acquired the land that had been subject to a ground lease (note 3.2).
New Accounting Policy from 1 April 2019
SPL leases various property under non-cancellable operating lease agreements. At the inception of a contract,
SPL assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract
conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.
Right-of-use assets are measured on initial recognition as the initial lease liability, plus any initial indirect costs
incurred, less any lease incentives received. Right-of-use assets that meet the definition of investment property
are presented within investment property. SPL applies the fair value model to investment property, including
right-of-use assets that meet the definition of investment property.
Investment property is adjusted for cash flows relating to lease liabilities already recognised separately on the
statement of financial position and also reflected in the investment property valuations.
Lease liabilities are measured based on the present value of the fixed and variable lease payments, less any
cash lease incentives receivable. Each lease payment is allocated between the liability and finance cost. The
finance cost is charged to profit or loss over the lease period so as to produce a constant rate of interest on the
remaining balance of the liability for each period.

1.3 Adoption of new standard – NZ IFRS 16 Leases (continued)
Adjustments recognised on adoption of NZ IFRS 16
On adoption of NZ IFRS 16, SPL has recognised a right-of-use asset within the fair value of investment property
and a corresponding lease liability within interest bearing liabilities in relation to leases which had previously
been classified as operating leases under the principles of NZ IAS 17 Leases. SIML has recognised a right-of-use
asset within property, plant and equipment and a corresponding lease liability within interest bearing liabilities in
relation to its lease of its head office.
The liabilities were measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted at the rate as
specified in the lease for investment property being 6.25% for NorthWest Shopping Centre, Auckland, and 7.00%
for 7-9 Fanshawe Street, Auckland. The 5.13% discount rate was applied for property, plant and equipment, being
the estimated incremental borrowing rate applied to the lease liability as at 1 April 2019.
A reconciliation between SPL’s operating lease commitments disclosed as at 31 March 2019 and the lease
liabilities recognised on adoption of NZ IFRS 16 on 1 April 2019 is provided below.

The commitments shown as at 31 March 2019 reflected amounts payable under current signed lease contracts up
until the next rent review, at which time the terms of the leases may be renegotiated.
1.4 Significant accounting policies, estimates and judgements
The same accounting policies and methods of computation are followed in the financial statements as compared
with the most recent annual financial statements.
1.5 Significant events and transactions
The financial position and performance of Stride was affected by the following events and transactions that
occurred during the reporting period:
Sale of 33 Corinthian Drive, Auckland
On 1 April 2019, SPL sold its commercial property tenanted by ASB Bank Limited at 33 Corinthian Drive,
Albany, Auckland, for $50.5 million gross before transaction costs.
Reclassification from inventory – development property to investment properties of NorthWest Two, Auckland
In April 2019, SPL reclassified NorthWest Two, Auckland, from inventory – development property to investment
properties (note 3.2).
Acquisition of The Concourse property, Auckland
On 27 June 2019, SPL acquired The Concourse, Henderson, Auckland, for $35.0 million excluding
transaction costs.
Notes to the Consolidated Interim Financial Statements — For the six months ended 30 September 2019
1.0 General Information (continued)
1.5 Significant events and transactions (continued)
Revaluation of investment properties
SPL undertook independent valuations of the entire portfolio which resulted in a net change in fair value of
investment properties of $24,800,000 which includes ($203,000) in relation to the change in the value of the
lease liability.
Establishment of Industre Property (Industre)
On 5 September 2019, Stride announced the establishment of Industre, an industrial property focussed
investment management product. Industre is a joint venture with a group of international institutional investors,
through a special purpose vehicle, and advised by J.P. Morgan Asset Management (together, JPMAM). Industre
will own and develop for long term income producing purposes industrial property in New Zealand, primarily
located in the Auckland region. SPL will contribute all of its industrial properties to Industre, which is intended
to grow through the acquisition and development of industrial properties over time. Industre will be managed
by SIML.
Initially JPMAM will commit approximately $70 million to the establishment of Industre and SPL will contribute
its 12 industrial properties, including the on completion developments of 318 East Tamaki Road, Auckland,
(previously 11 Springs Road), and The Concourse Property, Auckland.
JPMAM has additionally allocated a further $115 million of capital to fund near term growth initiatives, subject
to meeting certain investment return and approval thresholds, taking JPMAM’s total equity committed to
$185 million. Over the long term, the strategy is for JPMAM to fund further portfolio growth until the respective
economic contributions to the portfolio are 75% / 25% (JPMAM / SPL).
While initial agreements have been signed, the commencement of the joint venture is subject to a number of
substantive conditions, the material ones being:
• Overseas Investment Office (OIO) approval.
• Finalisation of banking arrangements (including satisfaction of conditions precedent under the banking
facility) for Industre with its banking group – and to this end, funding has been committed by a syndicate of
banks under a terms sheet agreed with Stride Industrial Property Limited (SIPL) (a subsidiary of SPL) and
JPMAM.
• Agreement by SPL with its banks to amendments to its current banking arrangements to provide for the
establishment of Industre and transfer of properties to the joint venture.
• Finalising the terms of investment by SPL in the JPMAM Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) – SPL will take
a small shareholding in the SPV (approximately $250,000) to assist in alignment of the interests of SPL
with its joint venture partner. The terms of this investment are to be finalised, and this will be a condition to
completion of the overall transaction and commencement of the joint venture.
The conditions are to be satisfied within nine months, subject to an extension to 12 months in the case of the
OIO approval condition in certain circumstances. Settlement is to occur on the last business day of the calendar
month that is at least 20 business days after the last condition is satisfied, subject to certain exceptions.
Should the conditions be fulfilled, the accounting for the arrangements by SPL will be a combination of a
joint venture (equity accounted) and a joint operation (proportionate share of assets and obligations), unless
circumstances change.
SPL has incurred $1,364,000 one-off project costs in relation to advisor fees for the establishment of Industre.

This section sets out how Stride’s revenue streams are reported internally, reflecting the two
operating segments being SPL and SIML.
SPL’s revenue streams are earned from investment properties owned in New Zealand, with no specific
exposure to geographical risk. Given SPL’s diverse client base, no one tenant represents greater than 10%
of the portfolio contract rental. SIML’s revenue streams are earned from the management of the real estate
investment of Investore Property Limited (Investore), Diversified NZ Property Trust (Diversified) and SPL.
For the revenue earned from Investore and Diversified, refer to note 6.2 on related party disclosures.

On 10 April 2019, SPL gave WTCL notice to bring the option period held by WTCL to acquire SPL’s NorthWest
Two development to an end. On 29 April 2019, SPL advised that the option had expired. SPL acquired the land
and reclassified the property from inventory – development property to investment properties. SPL retains a
right of first refusal over Zones 1 and 2, being the land located immediately adjacent to NorthWest Two, should
WTCL wish to sell some or all of these properties. In addition, WTCL retains a right of first refusal over SPL’s
NorthWest Shopping Centre and NorthWest Two should SPL wish to sell either or both of these properties.
Included in 30 September 2019 balance of investment property at valuation, is an implicit right-of-use asset of
$22,680,000 in relation to a peppercorn ground lease at 33 Customhouse Quay, Wellington, with an associated
immaterial lease liability. The $22,460,000 land lease liability add back is in respect to the remaining two
investment properties with ground leases at 30 September 2019.
The net change in fair value of $24,800,000 (31 Mar 19: $23,601,000) includes ($203,000) (31 Mar 19: N/A)
in relation to the change in the value of the lease liability.
In the current period, a revaluation movement of $1,370,000 (31 Mar 19: $1,071,000), arising from the
elimination of the capital expenditure fees charged by SIML to SPL, has been reflected in the consolidated
statement of comprehensive income. Capital expenditure consists of fit-outs and other physical enhancements
to the investment properties, with ownership of such capital amounts being retained by SPL.
The investment properties were valued either by Bayleys Valuations Limited (Bayleys), CIVAS Limited (Colliers),
Colliers International (Wellington Valuation) Limited (Colliers Wellington), Jones Lang LaSalle Limited (JLL) or
CBRE Limited (CBRE) as indicated. The valuations are dated effective 30 September 2019.

On 5 September 2019, SIPL and JPMAM entered into a commitment letter with ANZ and Westpac to provide
funding to enable the establishment of Industre. Finalisation of banking arrangements (including satisfaction of
conditions precedent under the banking facility) for Industre with its banking group is still to be completed. SPL
is to agree with its banks amendments to its current banking arrangements to provide for the establishment of
Industre and transfer of properties to the joint venture.
Notes to the Consolidated Interim Financial Statements — For the six months ended 30 September 2019
5.0 Capital Structure and Funding
5.1 Borrowings (continued)
Key changes to SPL’s facility agreement, to take effect from completion of Industre arrangements, are as follow:
• The subsidiaries involved in Industre, and their properties, will fall outside the guaranteeing group for
the SPL facility. Other mechanical changes have been made to allow these subsidiaries to undertake the
transactions required to implement the joint venture.
• Margins and line fees will vary depending on the mix of assets held by SPL. Lower margins and fees will
apply where SPL’s asset and tenant mix is sufficiently diversified to allow improved capital treatment from its
lenders’ perspective.
• Reducing the overall facility amount from $400 million to $340 million.
After the financial close of Industre, SPL is expected to have approximately $181 million of headroom available
from banking resources to help fund further portfolio growth. This headroom will, to the extent not cancelled,
increase to reflect the amount prepaid to the SPL lenders on completion of the sale of the three large format
retail properties to Investore, as described in note 6.5.
Subsequent to balance date, SPL entered into an additional $105 million bank facility for two years (refer
note 6.5). This facility will be repaid and cancelled on the completion of Industre arrangements.
SIML does not have any bank borrowings (31 Mar 19: nil) however, it does have a $3 million overdraft facility
with ANZ, which has not been utilised during the current period.

(31 Mar 19: Level 2).
5.3 Share capital
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.
On 22 May 2019, the Boards of SPL and SIML resolved to issue 54,879 ordinary shares in each of them
(i.e. 54,879 Stapled Securities) under the SIML long term share incentive scheme.

6.0 Other (continued)
6.3 Trade and other receivables
As at 30 September 2019, SPL has a receivable of $7,826,000 for the recovery of additional works completed
on the development at 318 East Tamaki Road, Auckland, from Waste Management as specified in the
agreement to lease. At 30 September 2019, SPL was in discussion with Waste Management as to what
proportion of the additional works will be received in cash with the remainder rentalised. This will be finalised
by 31 March 2020.
6.4 Contingent liabilities
Stride has no contingent liabilities at balance date (31 Mar 2019: nil).
6.5 Subsequent events
Effective from 11 November 2019, SPL entered into an additional $105 million bank facility for two years.
This facility will be repaid and cancelled on the completion of Industre arrangements.
On 19 November 2019, SPL announced that it had entered into a conditional agreement to sell three large
format retail properties to Investore for $140.75 million, being 2 Carr Road, Auckland, Mt Wellington Shopping
Centre, Auckland, and Bay Central Shopping Centre, 65 Chapel Street, Tauranga. As part of the sale, SPL has
agreed to:
• complete certain seismic strengthening work on all three properties;
• complete the Rebel Sports and Briscoes expansion at Bay Central Shopping Centre; and
• provide a rental underwrite for a period of up to two years in respect of four specific specialty tenancies.
That underwrite will fall away if the relevant premises are leased to a new tenant.
Taking into consideration the above commitments agreed by SPL, the net sales price is in line with the valuation
of these assets as at 30 September 2019 of $131.2 million.
The transaction remains conditional on Investore completing due diligence to its satisfaction, the Investore
Board of Directors approving the transaction, Investore shareholders (other than SPL and its directors)
approving the acquisition (as the transaction is a material transaction with a related party for Investore) and
receipt of approval to the transaction from the Overseas Investment Office. Although the timing of settlement
remains subject to satisfaction of these conditions, SPL expects the transaction to settle during April 2020.
Investore announced a capital raise to support the acquisition, comprising a $65 million placement and a retail
offer of up to $15 million. On 19 November 2019, SPL agreed to subscribe for its proportionate share of the
total amount to be raised in the placement, being $12.944 million. Allotment of these shares is due to occur
on 25 November 2019, and SPL will pay for the shares on that date.
On receipt of the net sale proceeds, SPL will pay down existing bank debt to at least the level required to
comply with its loan to value ratio covenant.
On 25 November 2019, SPL declared a cash dividend for the period 1 July 2019 to 30 September 2019 of
2.1575 cents per share, to be paid on 10 December 2019 to all shareholders on SPL’s register at the close
of business on 3 December 2019. This dividend will carry imputation credits of 0.630568 cents per share.
This dividend has not been recognised in the financial statements.
On 25 November 2019, SIML declared a cash dividend for the period 1 July 2019 to 30 September 2019
of 0.32 cents per share, to be paid on 10 December 2019 to all shareholders on SIML’s register at the close
of business on 3 December 2019. This dividend will carry imputation credits of 0.124444 cents per share.
This dividend has not been recognised in the financial statements.
There have been no other material events subsequent to 30 September 2019.
Independent Review Report
To the shareholders of Stride Property Group
Report on the consolidated interim financial statements
We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated interim financial statements of Stride Property Group, which
consists of Stride Property Limited (SPL) and Stride Investment Management Limited (SIML) (together “Stride”)
on pages 12 to 36, which comprise the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 September 2019,
and the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity
and the consolidated 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 consolidated interim financial statements
The Directors of SPL and SIML respectively are responsible on behalf of Stride for the preparation and fair
presentation of these consolidated interim financial statements in accordance with International Accounting
Standard 34 Interim Financial Reporting (IAS 34) and New Zealand Equivalent to International Accounting
Standard 34 Interim Financial Reporting (NZ IAS 34) and for such internal control as the Directors determine
is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated interim 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 consolidated 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 consolidated interim financial statements, taken as a whole, are not prepared in all material
respects, in accordance with IAS 34 and NZ IAS 34. As the auditor of Stride, NZ SRE 2410 requires that we
comply with the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the annual financial statements.
A review of consolidated interim 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) and International Standards on Auditing.
Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion on these consolidated interim financial statements.
Our firm carries out other assurance services for Stride over tenancy marketing and operating expenses and
performed agreed procedures in respect of proxy voting at the 2019 Annual Shareholder Meetings. The provision
of these other services has not impaired our independence as auditor of Stride.
Conclusion
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that these consolidated interim
financial statements of Stride do not present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Stride as at
30 September 2019, and its financial performance and cash flows for the period then ended, in accordance with
IAS 34 and NZ IAS 34.
Who we report to
This report is made solely to the shareholders of SPL and SIML, as a body. Our review work has been undertaken
so that we might state 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
Stride and the shareholders of SPL and SIML, as a body, for our review procedures, for this report, or for the
conclusion we have formed.
For and on behalf of:
Chartered Accountants, Auckland

3938Stride Property Group Interim Report for the six months ended 30 September 2019Stride Property Group Interim Report for the six months ended 30 September 2019
Under the terms of a waiver granted by NZX to Stride, Stride is required to update shareholders on the implications
of investing in a stapled security of Stride, as set out below. This waiver was granted under the NZX Listing Rules
applying prior to 2019. Stride has now transitioned to the new NZX Listing Rules, and has applied to NZX for
certain waivers to continue to apply under the new NZX Listing Rules. This is being worked through by NZX, and
in the meantime, holders of securities must be advised as follows.
The practical implications of a shareholder holding a stapled security include that:
• The shareholder is a shareholder of both SPL and SIML
• In order to sell a SPL share or a SIML share, the corresponding SIML share or SPL share, as applicable, also
needs to be sold to the same purchaser
• Market disclosures via NZX may be made in respect of the Stride companies as a whole, but each of SPL and
SIML will continue to be obliged to make announcements under the Listing Rules according to the nature of
the disclosure (for example, announcements about the declaration of a dividend or the passing of a resolution
at a meeting of shareholders would be made by the relevant company)
• The only quoted price of a SPL share and/or a SIML share on the NZX will be the quoted price for the
stapled security
• The materiality of “Material Information” for continuous disclosure purposes under the Listing Rules will be
assessed against the potential effect on the price of stapled securities as there will not be a separate quoted
price available for each of SPL and SIML. Any disclosure of “Material Information” made by Stride will explain
whether the information is material to SPL and/or SIML
• New stapled security issues will result in equal numbers of SPL shares and SIML shares being issued
• Shareholders are entitled to attend, or vote by proxy, at separate meetings of shareholders of each of SPL
and SIML. For some transactions involving both Stride companies (for example, an issuance of stapled
securities being made with shareholder approval under the Listing Rules), resolutions might be required from
shareholders in respect of the same matter. In that case, the relevant transaction will only be able to proceed
if the respective resolutions are approved at shareholder meetings of both SPL and SIML
• Distributions will be received, to the extent declared, from each of SPL and SIML

Creation of Industre
•Industre will be Stride’s sector-specific investment management product
focussed on the industrial property sector in New Zealand, with a
majority weighting to the Auckland market. The vision for Industre is to
grow a significant portfolio of high-quality New Zealand industrial
properties
•Industre is a joint venture with a group of international institutional
investors, through a special purpose vehicle and advised by
J.P. Morgan Asset Management (together, JPMAM)
•Initially JPMAM will commit approximately $70m to the establishment of
Industre and SPL will contribute 12 industrial properties owned by it, as
well as the agreement to acquire 439 Rosebank Road, Avondale, which
SPL is party to. SPL will initially have an approximately 70%
shareholding in Industre, with JPMAM holding the remainder
•JPMAM has additionally allocated a further $115m of capital to fund
near term growth initiatives, subject to meeting certain investment return
and approval thresholds, taking JPMAM’s total equity committed to
$185m. This $115m of JPMAM committed capital will result in Industre
having capacity to fund initial portfolio growth of over $190m
•Over the long term, the strategy is for JPMAM to fund further portfolio
growth until the respective shareholdings in the portfolio are 75% / 25%
(JPMAM / SPL)
•The establishment of Industre is subject to Overseas Investment
Office approval

Stride has recently announced two strategic initiatives in order to
further develop its Investment Management business, including:
1.The creation of Industre Property with $265m of establishment
properties, and $102m of committed developments; and
2.IPL’s acquisition of three LFR properties from SPL for $140.75m.
These initiatives, together with the Diversified’s $85m cost-to-
complete at Queensgate,continue our strategy to grow SIML’s
external Investment Management business (being Investore,
Diversified and Industre and excluding SPL’s directly held portfolio).
In aggregate they will add approximately $600m to SIML’s investment
management business, taking AUM to over $1.8 billion. Adjusting for
SPL’s cornerstone holdings in each Product, pro forma external AUM
will be $1.4 billion, up from $1.1 billion, representing growth of
approximately $300m.
After settlement of these initiatives, Stride will have a Loan to Value
Ratio of less than 15%, providing significant balance sheet capacity
for Stride to further grow our product strategy.

Conclusion
Conclusion
Looking ahead
•Stride’s strategy for its investment management business is to establish a
group of commercial property investment management products to provide
growth in our investment management business and continue to review
opportunities in markets adjacent to core commercial property sectors
•The recent growth of SPL’s industrial portfolio and the establishment of
Industre, together with the growth of Investore, are important steps in our
delivery of this strategy. Stride’s future investment management strategy is
to:
1.Maintain a diversified investment portfolio through a
combination of investments in our investment management
products and our directly-held portfolio
2.Support and grow Stride’s established investment
management products through carefully considered transaction
and development activity, while maintaining our cornerstone
shareholdings
3.Grow our directly-held portfolio of commercial properties, with
a view to establishing sector-specific investment management
products in the future
4.Review new investment management opportunities in markets
adjacent to the core commercial property sector
Stride’s FY20 cash dividend guidance remains unchanged at a combined
