Precinct Properties New Zealand Limited (Precinct) (NZX: PCT) reported its financial results for
the six months ended 31 December 2019 today. Total comprehensive income after tax has
increased by 110.2% to $53.6 million, this compares with $25.5 million for the same period last
year. The increase was mainly attributable to the higher operating income during the period,
the movement in financial instruments between comparable periods and the recognition of
liquidated damages received to offset the costs of delay in the completion of Commercial
Bay.
Net operating income, which adjusts for a number of non-cash items, of $60.5 million was also
up 60.5% (1H19: $37.7 million) or 4.61 cps. Adjusting for liquidated damages, net operating
income was $3.6 million or 9.5% higher than the comparable prior period with the uplift
primarily due to the completion of Bowen Campus.
Scott Pritchard, Precinct’s CEO, said “Achieving significant leasing and solid rental growth
across our assets has delivered another strong result for Precinct in the first half of the 2020
financial year. Both our portfolio and balance sheet are in a great position. The high
occupancy levels achieved across Precinct’s portfolio reflects the strong demand for city
centre office space in the markets we are invested in, Auckland and Wellington”.
“We continue to enhance the portfolio through the successful completion of our
development projects. The recently completed Bowen Campus Stage One in Wellington is a
great example of this. The upcoming completion and opening of our most significant
development project, Commercial Bay is a key focus for the business. We commenced this
transformational project in 2016 and we are truly looking forward to welcoming clients into
the building and Aucklanders into the retail and hospitality space”.
“As our active projects complete and we reduce Precinct’s risk profile, the business is now
looking ahead to activate our future development pipeline. The next phase of development
projects includes One Queen Street which will start this year, Stages Three and Four at
Wynyard Quarter in Auckland, together with Bowen Campus Stage Two in Wellington. We
have a strong balance sheet to pursue Precinct’s future opportunities and we hope to start
construction at Wynyard and Bowen soon”.

Interim results
Strong leasing resulting in high occupancy levels across the portfolio and the completion of
Bowen Campus Stage One have all contributed to the 4.0% increase in net property income
(NPI) of $49.2 million (1H19: $47.3 million). Notably, leasing achieved at both AMP Centre in
Auckland and AON Centre in Wellington have been significant contributors to the increase in
Precinct’s 1H20 NPI.
After adjusting for assets under development and asset sales, like for like NPI was 7.5% higher
than the previous comparable period. Across the Auckland portfolio, NPI was up 8.7% and
Wellington portfolio saw NPI increase by 5.1%, on a like for like basis.
As at 31 December 2019, Precinct has received $52.0 million of liquidated damages due to
delays in the completion of Commercial Bay. $26.7 million of this has been recognised in profit
and loss in the current period (30 June 2019: $2.0 million) with $23.3 million credited against
the Commercial Bay development project cost. Precinct and FCC are enjoying a good
working relationship focused on delivery of Commercial Bay to a high quality standard and
there are no outstanding commercial disputes/claims.
The fair value loss in financial instruments has decreased to $2.0 million. A $12.6 million loss was
recognised for the same period last year. The current tax expense increased due to
recognition of liquidated damages to $7.6 million (1H19: $0.4 million).
Dividends attributable to shareholders for the six months ending 31 December 2019 totalled
3.15 cps (31 December 2018: 3.00 cps) representing an increase of 5.0%. The 1H20 dividend
represented approximately 101% of Precinct’s Adjusted Funds From Operations (AFFO) for the
first half of the 2020 financial year of 3.11 cps. Precinct’s AFFO deducts liquidated damages
revenue which will be retained to offset costs of delay relating to the completion of
Commercial Bay.
Generator recorded gross operating revenue of $10.4 million (1H19: $7.6 million) with
contribution to net operating income of $1.2 million recorded for the period. The business has
continued to achieve high occupancy rates with all sites operating near full capacity.
An internal review of the 30 June 2019 property valuations undertaken at 31 December 2019
indicated no material value movement in the period. Net Asset Value (NAV) per share at

Investment portfolio performance
Positive leasing results in Auckland and Wellington have maintained Precinct’s high
occupancy of 99% and delivered a weighted average lease term of just under nine years at
31 December 2019. In addition to the 21 leasing transactions completed at 9.2% above
previous contract rent, market rent reviews completed in the period generated a 9.5% lift over
contract rents.
Generator expansion
Precinct is pleased to announce today that it will be opening its first Generator site in
Wellington in mid-2021. Centrally located at 30 Waring Taylor Street, the five-level character
building will be fully redeveloped and seismically strengthened to 100% NBS. The offering will
comprise private offices, coworking spaces and a meeting and event suite. Having owned
Generator for one year now, Precinct believe it is the right time to respond to the increased
demand for flexible space in Wellington. With a site purchased and designed specifically for
Generator, it will enable Generator to have direct input into the design and functionality of
the building. The property will be well-positioned to drive value from the growing Wellington
market. The total project cost is anticipated to be $25 million including building acquisition,
seismic strengthening and Generator fitout.
Capital management
Announced today, Precinct has refinanced its $150 million bank debt facility which was due
to expire in November 2020. The 5 year extension increases the tenor of the existing facilities,
reducing refinancing risk and improves the weighted average term to expiry out to 4.4 years.
Funding continues to be provided by Precinct’s existing lenders ANZ, BNZ, CBA, Westpac and
HSBC.
At balance date Precinct’s total borrowings (including convertible notes) increased to $874.2
million (30 June 2019: $710.4 million) reflecting the United States Private Placement issue
completed in July last year. Similarly, total assets at 31 December 2019 has increased to $3.1

billion (30 June 2019: $2.9 billion). Gearing as measured under borrower covenants, which
disregards subordinated debt, is 25.4% (30 June 2019: 22.4%).
Development update
Commercial Bay
With the retail centre at Commercial Bay nearing completion, we are pleased to be preparing
to open fully leased. This is a great outcome which reflects the strong demand from local and
international retailers to be part of the unique retail composition and mix at Commercial Bay.
While the retail centre will open fully leased, the centre may open without a small number of
retailers who are unable to complete their fitout due to a delay in the delivery of fitout
materials as a result of the COVID-19 outbreak.
Office commitments have also increased over the last six months to 92% with the remaining
vacancy consisting of one full floor and two part floors.
At One Queen Street, the detailed design phase is now complete. Construction is set to start
in mid-2020 once the building is vacated by its current occupiers.
Wynyard Quarter Stage Two
Construction of Stage Two at Wynyard Quarter has advanced significantly in the last few
months. This 8,290 square metre building is set to open later this year and will open fully leased
over the office space.
Future development projects
In Auckland, Stage’s Three and Four of Wynyard will provide a further 19,000 square metres of
space. We are encouraged by the success of 10 Madden Street and intend to commit to the
next phase of development at Wynyard in the coming months.
In Wellington, the remaining land at Bowen Campus will allow development of 21,400 square
metres of office space. We expect the additional stages at Bowen Campus to further
enhance this precinct and cater to the needs of both the corporate market and government
occupiers.

Dividend payment
Precinct shareholders will receive a second-quarter dividend of 1.575 cps (plus imputation
credits of 0.254873 cps). Offshore investors will receive an additional supplementary dividend
of 0.115657 cps to offset non-resident withholding tax (see note 2). The record date is 13 March
2020 with payment to be made on 27 March 2020.
Outlook and guidance
With a well-defined strategy and high-quality portfolio which continues to perform well,
Precinct expects its full year normailised results to be consistent with earlier guidance
provided. Pleasingly, Precinct’s strategy is driving meaningful growth in cash earnings with an
emerging strong growth profile for our AFFO.
Dividend remains unchanged at 6.30 cps, representing a 5.0% increase in dividends to
shareholders.
We have reduced our risk profile over the last 18 months and maintained Precinct’s high
occupancy levels and strong balance sheet position. Looking ahead, delivering a successful
opening at Commercial Bay to the highest quality standards is a key focus for the Precinct
team.
As we look to activate our future developments, we believe Precinct is well positioned to
continue to develop high quality real estate in strategic locations, further enhancing our
portfolio and creating additional shareholder value.

Note 1
AFFO is a non-GAAP financial measure that shows the organisation's underlying and recurring earnings from its
operations and is considered industry best practice for a REIT. This is determined by adjusting statutory net profit (under
IFRS) for certain non-cash and other items. AFFO has been determined based on guidelines established by the Property
Council of Australia and is intended as a supplementary measure of operating performance.
Reconciliation of net profit after tax to adjusted funds from operations (AFFO)
This additional performance measure is provided to assist shareholders in assessing their returns for the period.
Note 2
A supplementary dividend is paid to non-resident shareholders to offset the amount of non-resident withholding tax
(“NRWT”) that New Zealand companies are required to deduct from dividends paid to non-resident shareholders. A
supplementary dividend is paid to ensure equitable treatment between non-resident shareholders and resident
shareholders (whose dividends are not subject to NRWT).
There’s no disadvantage to Precinct or our shareholders, and non-resident shareholders don’t get a larger cash
dividend than an equivalent New Zealand resident shareholder.

Notes to the financial statements
For the six months ended 31 December 2019
PRECINCT PROPERTIES NEW ZEALAND LIMITED
1. Reporting entity
Precinct Properties New Zealand Limited (Precinct) is incorporated in New Zealand and is registered under the New Zealand
Companies Act 1993.
Precinct is an FMC reporting entity for the purposes of the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013.
These interim financial statements are those of Precinct and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (the Group).
The Group's principal activity is investment in predominantly prime CBD properties in New Zealand. Precinct is managed by AMP Haumi
Management Limited (the manager).
2. Basis of preparation
The interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with NZ IAS 34 and IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting.
The financial statements have been prepared:
• On a historical basis except for financial instruments, US private placement notes, investment and development properties which
are measured at fair value.
• Using the New Zealand Dollar functional and reporting currency.
• On a GST exclusive basis, except for receivables and payables that are stated inclusive of GST.
All financial information has been presented in millions, unless otherwise stated.
Precinct has elected to include additional comparative periods to assist users of the financial statements.
These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes included in Precinct's
Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2019.
From 1 July 2019 Precinct has adopted NZ IFRS 16 - Leases which is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after
1 January 2019.
This standard replaces NZ IAS 17. NZ IFRS 16 requires a lessee to recognise a lease liability reflecting future lease payments and a 'right-
of-use' asset for virtually all lease contracts. Lessor accounting remains largely unchanged from NZ IAS 17.
While the majority of Precinct's investment and development properties are freehold, Precinct is a lessee under an occupational
ground lease in relation to the basement walkway at AON Centre and prepaid ground leases at Wynyard Quarter (10 and 12 Madden
Street and Mason Bros. Building).
Under NZ IFRS 16 Precinct recognises 'right-of-use' assets and lease liabilities for all leases that Generator New Zealand Limited has
entered as a lessee.
NZ IFRS 16 has no impact on the accounting for the ground leases at Wynyard Quarter due to the prepaid nature of these leases.
Precinct has elected to apply the modified retrospective approach in adopting NZ IFRS 16 with the effect of adoption being
recognised at the transition date with no adjustment to the prior period presented. The lease liabilities recognised on 1 July 2019 of
$46.1 million were measured as the present value of the remaining cash flows discounted at the transition date 'incremental borrowing
rate' based on Precinct and Generator's individual weighted average cost of borrowing. The cash flows relating to the non prepaid
ground lease are included in the fair value of the investment properties and therefore a gross up for the lease liability is recognised in
the investment property balance at the amount equal to the lease liability. As at 31 December 2019, the lease liabilities have reduced
to $44.8 million.
3. Fair value estimation
Precinct classifies its fair value measurement using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the
measurements. The fair value hierarchy has the following levels:
• Level 1 - Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active market for identical assets or liabilities.
• Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (by price)
or indirectly (derived from prices).
• Level 3 - Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
4. Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions
In preparing Precinct’s interim financial statements, management continually make judgements, estimates and assumptions based on
experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that may have an impact on Precinct.
All judgements, estimates and assumptions made are believed to be reasonable based on the most current set of circumstances
available to management. Actual results may differ from the judgements, estimates and assumptions made by management.
The significant judgements, estimates and assumptions made in the preparation of these interim financial statements are in relation to:
i. Investment and development properties
ii. Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities
iii. Cross currency interest rate swaps and USPP notes
iv. Impairment test of intangible assets and goodwill
08
Notes to the financial statements (Continued)
For the six months ended 31 December 2019
PRECINCT PROPERTIES NEW ZEALAND LIMITED
The same accounting policies and methods of computation are followed in the interim financial statements as compared with the
most recent annual financial statements.
5. Significant events and transactions during the period
Precinct's financial position and performance was affected by the following events and transactions that occurred during the
reporting period:
i. United States private placement
On 16 July 2019 Precinct issued US$110 million of notes in the United States private placement market. To substantially remove the
currency risk, Precinct entered a cross currency swap to fully swap back proceeds to New Zealand dollars. Refer to note 14 for further
details.

a) Basis for segmentation
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision-maker.
The chief operating decision-maker has been identified as the Board of Directors.
The Group has the following reportable segments that are managed separately because of different operating strategies. The
following describes the operation of each of the reportable segments.

b) Information about reportable segments
Information related to each reportable segment is set out below. Segment profit/(loss) before tax is used to measure performance
because management believes that this information is the most relevant in evaluating the results of the respective segments relative to
other entities that operate in the same industries.
There are varying levels of integration between the investment properties and co-working segments. This integration includes occupied
space, future leasing and events. Inter segment pricing is determined on an arm's length basis.

11. Reconciliation of net profit after tax to adjusted funds from operations (AFFO)
AFFO is a non-GAAP financial measure that shows the organisation's underlying and recurring earnings from its operations and is
considered industry best practice for a REIT. This is determined by adjusting statutory net profit (under IFRS) for certain non-cash and
other items. AFFO has been determined based on guidelines established by the Property Council of Australia and is intended as a
supplementary measure of operating performance.

Precinct has committed funding of $1,195.7 million (June 2019: $1,1195.7 million) including the NZ senior secured bonds, convertible
note and US private placements.
All lenders have the benefit of security over certain assets of the Group. The Group has given a negative pledge which provides that it
will not permit any security interest in favour of a party other than the lenders to exist over more than 15% of the value of its properties.

PRECINCT PROPERTIES NEW ZEALAND LIMITED
Accounting policy - interest bearing liabilities
Bank loans and the NZ senior secured bonds are recognised initially at fair value less any attributable transaction costs. Subsequent
to initial recognition, these liabilities are stated at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The US private placement is
recognised at fair value including translation to NZD with any gains or losses recognised in the profit or loss as they arise. This fair
value is determined using swap models and present value techniques with observable inputs such as interest rate and cross-
currency curves. This measurement falls into level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
The convertible note embedded financial derivative is recognised at fair value with any gains or losses recognised in the profit or
loss as they arise. This fair value is determined using the black-scholes model with observable inputs such as Precinct's share price
and it's historic standard deviation, the convertible note strike price and the risk free rate. The movement in fair value attributable to
changes in Precinct's own credit risk is calculated by determining the changes in credit spreads above observable market interest
rates and is recognised in other comprehensive income. This measurement falls into level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are capitalised as part of the
cost of that asset.

Accounting policy - derivative financial instruments
Precinct uses derivative financial instruments (interest rate and cross currency swaps) to manage its exposure to interest rate and
foreign exchange risks arising from operational, financing and investment activities. Derivative financial instruments are recognised
initially at fair value and subsequently re-measured and carried at fair value. They are carried as assets when the fair value is
positive and liabilities when the fair value is negative. The gain or loss on re-measurement to fair value is recognised directly in profit
or loss.
The fair value is the estimated amount that Precinct would receive or pay to terminate the swap at the balance date, taking into
account current rates and creditworthiness of the swap counterparties. This is determined using swap models and present value
techniques with observable inputs such as interest rate and cross-currency curves. The fair value of derivatives fall into level 2 of the
fair value hierarchy.

Account which is not used up in off-setting subsequent Initial Amounts will also effectively expire 2 years after it is debited against the
Carrying Account.
No performance fee is payable in quarters where equity total returns are negative. As at 31 December 2019 there is a notional
performance fee deficit of $ 4,431,743 to be carried forward to the calculation of performance fees in future quarters (June 2019: $nil;

PRECINCT PROPERTIES NEW ZEALAND LIMITED
INDEPENDENT REVIEW REPORT TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF PRECINCT PROPERTIES NEW ZEALAND LIMITED
We have reviewed the interim financial statements of Precinct Properties New Zealand Limited ("the company") and its subsidiaries
(together "the group") on pages 03 to 15, which comprise the statement of financial position of the group as at 31 December 2019,
and the statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows of the group for the six
month period ended on that date, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.
This report is made solely to the company's shareholders, as a body. Our review has been undertaken so that we might state to the
company's shareholders those matters we are required to state to them in a review report and for no other purpose. To the fullest
extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the company and the company's
shareholders as a body, for our review work, for this report, or for our findings.
Directors' Responsibilities
The directors are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of interim financial statements which comply with New Zealand
Equivalent to International Accounting Standard 34:
Interim Financial Reporting
and for such internal control as the directors determine
is necessary to enable the preparation and fair presentation of the interim financial statements that are free from material
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Reviewer's Responsibilities
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the interim financial statements based on our review. We conducted our review in
accordance with NZ SRE 2410
Review of Financial Statements Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity
. NZ SRE 2410 requires
us to conclude whether anything has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the financial statements, taken as a whole,
are not prepared in all material respects, in accordance with New Zealand Equivalent to International Accounting Standard 34:
Interim
Financial Reporting
. As the auditor of the group, NZ SRE 2410 requires that we comply with the ethical requirements relevant to the
audit of the annual financial statements.
Basis of Statement
A review of 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). Accordingly we do not express an audit opinion on those financial statements.
Ernst & Young provides other assurance services to the group including the statutory audit of the group's year-end financial statements
and audit of individual property operating expense statements. We provide an agreed upon procedures engagement recalculating
the performance fee paid or payable to the group's manager. We also provide reporting to the trustee of the group's secured fixed
rate bonds and convertible notes in relation to our audit. Other than the provision of those services and in our capacity as auditor we
have no relationship with, or interest in, the company or any of its subsidiaries. Ernst & Young and the group have entered an
agreement in respect of our proposed occupancy of a group property. Partners and employees of our firm may deal with the group
on normal terms within the ordinary course of trading activities of the business of the group.
Conclusion
Based on our review nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying interim financial statements,
set out on pages 03 to 15, do not present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the group as at 31 December 2018 and
its financial performance and cash flows for the six month period ended on that date in accordance with New Zealand Equivalent to
International Accounting Standard 34:
Interim Financial Reporting
.
Our review was completed on 19 February 2020 and our findings are expressed as at that date.

App 2: IFRS 16 impact
•Generator leases fall in scope
of IFRS 16
Income statement
•IFRS 16 replaces rent expense
with a lease depreciation and
lease interest expense

income tax increases
•The inclusion of lease
depreciation and lease interest
expense reduces net profit
before tax by $1.2m. The
impact will reverse over the
lease term
Balance sheet
•Creation of a right of use asset
and lease liability on 1 July 2019
for $46m
•Both are excluded in the
calculation of gearing
Other
•No change in Precincts
