the rebuild

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.

At 30 September 2019, SPL reclassified the properties at the corner Mt Wellington Highway & Penrose Road,

Auckland, and 65 Chapel Street, Tauranga, from retail to large format retail.

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.

liability of $246,576), determined using valuation techniques classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy

(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.

Notes to the Consolidated Interim Financial Statements — For the six months ended 30 September 2019

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
