opportunities, including acquisition
and other growth opportunities, with a

combined value of approximately

$100 million. Investore continues to

explore portfolio growth opportunities

in what is currently a very active and

competitive market, however at this time

these opportunities remain subject to

further investigation and due diligence.

Investore intends to continue exploring

growth opportunities over the remainder

of FY21. The Investore Board will seek

to ensure that any such acquisitions

support Investore’s objective of

maximising distributions and total

returns to shareholders over the medium

to long term.

As shareholders are aware, Investore’s

dividend policy, as declared by the

Board, is to target a cash dividend to

shareholders that is between 95% and

100% of distributable profit. The Board

reconfirms annual cash dividend guidance

of 7.60 cents per share to shareholders

for FY21, assuming no further

deterioration in economic conditions due

to COVID-19.

On behalf of the Board, we thank investors

for their continued support of Investore.

Mike Allen

Chair of the Board

Chair and

Manager’s Overview

Dear Investors,

The Board of Directors of

Investore Property Limited

(Investore) is pleased to

present Investore’s interim

report for the six months

ended 30 September 2020

(HY21), a period that has

been dominated by the

impacts of COVID-19.

Investore is well placed

to manage these impacts

given its focus on large

format retail property,

with nationally recognised

tenants focused on

“everyday needs”, and a

geographically diversified

portfolio.

Investore has had a very positive first

half of FY21, with profit after income tax

of $91.0 million, up $80.1 million from

the six months to 30 September 2019

(HY20), largely due to a strong revaluation

movement which is testament to

Investore’s singular focus on large format

retail property.

Investore has also seen a positive increase

in net rental income of $3.3 million to

$27.4 million, largely due to the addition

to Investore’s portfolio of the three

properties acquired from Stride Property

Limited (SPL) on 30 April 2020. This

positive movement was partially offset

by increased finance expense due to the

cost of breaking swaps following the

issue of the listed bonds in August 2020,

the net proceeds of which were used to

repay some of Investore’s bank debt. This

resulted in profit before income/(expense)

and income tax of $12.2 million, slightly

down from $12.9 million for HY20.

Investore is pleased to report higher

distributable profit

1

after current income

tax for HY21 of $13.7 million,

$4.0 million higher than HY20, largely

due to the increased rental income. This

is notwithstanding that distributable

profit for HY21 has been impacted

by COVID-19 rent abatements, which

resulted in distributable profit before

current income tax for this period being

approximately $1 million lower than it

would otherwise have been.

Due to the active management of rent

abatement arrangements with tenants,

Investore currently expects the impact of

COVID-19 to result in a reduction in gross

rent receivable for FY21 of approximately

$1 million, at the lower end of the

previously estimated range of between

$1 million and $2 million. This current

figure includes rent arrangements agreed

or forecast to be agreed with tenants in

relation to the most recent COVID-19

restrictions imposed by the Government in

August 2020, but assumes no significant

further restrictions on activity.

In many cases Investore has been able to

negotiate an extension to the lease term

or early renewal of a lease along with rent

abatement or deferral arrangements, with a

weighted average lease extension of

seven months being achieved across

COVID-19 rent arrangements. This,

together with lease renewals agreed

during the period in review, has resulted

in a largely stable WALT

1

for Investore’s

portfolio of 10.2 years (compared with

10.4 years as at 31 March 2020

2

).

This is an improvement from what

would otherwise have been the case at

30 September 2020, all other things being

equal, as WALT naturally declines over time

as remaining lease periods reduce.

Investore’s singular focus on large

format retail property and relative

resilience to the impacts of COVID-19

has been demonstrated in the very

positive revaluation gains seen in

Investore’s portfolio in the six months to

30 September 2020. Investore’s portfolio

of 43 properties is now valued at

$980.3 million

3

, a gross valuation increase

for the six months to 30 September

2020 of approximately $85.3 million or

9.5%

4

, and a net valuation increase of

$83.7 million or 9.4%

4

.

Investore’s average portfolio

capitalisation rate has compressed,

due to the attractiveness of large format

retail property in the investment market.

As at 30 September 2020 the average

portfolio capitalisation rate was 5.53%,

representing a decrease of 55 basis points

from 31 March 2020

5

. This reduction in

the capitalisation rate is the primary driver

of the revaluation movement in Investore’s

portfolio for HY21.

The benefits of Investore’s singular focus

on large format retail property, including

the predictable and stable cash flows

derived from Investore’s long term leases,

have also been reflected in its share price,

with Investore delivering total shareholder

returns of 36.2% over the six months to

30 September 2020 (or 24.6% in the

nine months since 31 December 2019),

outperforming the gross S&P/NZX 50

Index by 16.3% over the same period (or

22.3% since 31 December 2019) and the

gross S&P/NZX All Real Estate Index by

15.4% (28.3% since 31 December 2019).

The first six months of FY21 have been

very active for Investore, in addition to

managing the impacts of COVID-19 and

the varying needs of Investore’s tenants

during that period. Investore has taken

advantage of market opportunities

created by COVID-19 to undertake a

capital raise in April and May 2020, raising

$105 million in gross proceeds. The net

proceeds of the capital raise were used to

pay down debt, reducing Investore’s loan

to value ratio and providing significant

available debt facilities to pursue

Investore’s strategy of targeted growth.

In August 2020 Investore issued its

second tranche of listed bonds, issuing

$125 million of 7-year bonds with a fixed

interest rate of 2.4%. The net proceeds

of the bond issue were used to repay

bank debt, extending the weighted

average tenor of Investore’s debt

to 4.4 years (as at 30 September 2020),

and providing Investore with a balance

between bank debt and listed bonds.

Following the revaluation of Investore’s

portfolio as at 30 September 2020,

Investore’s loan to value ratio has reduced

to 28.3%

6

. The capital raise and listed

bond issue have ensured Investore has a

stable financial position, with a low loan to

value ratio, which, aligned with Investore’s

resilient portfolio, positions Investore well

for the future.

Investore has $166 million of undrawn

debt facilities as at 30 September 2020

to pursue opportunities to grow its

portfolio, as they arise. Investore has also

arranged an additional $30 million bank

facility following the interim balance date,

providing it with nearly $200 million of

undrawn debt facilities (on a pro forma

basis, as at 30 September 2020).

In addition to these capital management

initiatives, Investore actively seeks to

manage its portfolio, including securing

early renewals of leases where possible.

During HY21, Investore’s largest tenant,

Countdown, renewed its lease at

Mt Wellington Shopping Centre in

Auckland for a further six years, to

2026. The Warehouse recently vacated

Investore’s property in Johnsonville at

the end of the lease. Investore is actively

exploring options for this property, which

represents 0.6% of the portfolio’s net

lettable area, and is confident that a

successful outcome will be achieved,

as the property is well-located and

represents an attractive proposition for a

number of tenants.

Investore is pleased to have welcomed

Adrian Walker to the Investore Board

on 3 April 2020, with the majority of

the Board of Directors of Investore now

comprising directors that are independent

of the Manager, Stride Investment

Management Limited (SIML). In addition,

Investore has elected to participate in the

Institute of Directors’ “future directors”

programme, which seeks to encourage

directorship by giving aspiring directors

the opportunity to observe a company

board and receive mentoring from

experienced directors. Emma McDonald

joined Investore as a future director on

17 April 2020 for a period of two years.

In August 2020, at the time of the

listed bond offering, Investore stated

that it was then considering portfolio

COVID-19 Update
Due to its focus on owning large

format retail properties, Investore’s

portfolio has fared relatively well during

the lockdown situations implemented by

the New Zealand Government in response

to COVID-19.

A high proportion of Investore’s tenants

are classified as “essential businesses”

on the Government’s covid19.govt.nz

website, meaning that they are able to

remain open under all Alert Levels. This

includes supermarkets, pharmacies, and

hardware stores, which supply “everyday

needs” for New Zealand consumers and

tradespeople.

Investore’s portfolio is also well

diversified geographically, meaning

that regional restrictions, such as the

escalation to Alert Level 3 in Auckland in

August 2020, affect a limited proportion

of Investore’s portfolio, with a small

number of tenants unable to trade in

regions with restrictions, given the high

proportion of Investore’s portfolio that

are “essential businesses”.

Investore has previously stated that it

expects reduced gross rent receivables for

FY21 as a result of COVID-19 of between

$1 million and $2 million. This was prior

to the most recent restrictions imposed

in August 2020. Investore now expects

that figure to be approximately $1 million.

This assumes no further restrictions are

imposed as a result of COVID-19, although

the Board notes that, as stated above,

Investore remains well-placed to manage

the impacts from restrictions due to its

focus on large format retail property and

tenants that supply everyday needs, which

to date have proven to be resilient under

lockdown restrictions.

The reintroduction of building

depreciation deduction claims for

commercial properties at a level of

two percent a year on diminishing value,

starting in April 2020, is expected to

provide a reduction in current tax of

approximately $2.2 million for FY21,

more than offsetting the rent abatement

arrangements agreed with tenants.

In addition, supermarkets have seen

increased demand in the year to date as

a result of the COVID-19 restrictions,

and accordingly Investore expects

improved turnover rent for FY21 from its

Countdown-branded stores.

Investore has also experienced a benefit

to its WALT

1

from the rent arrangements

agreed in respect of COVID-19. In

many cases, Investore has received

an extension of the lease term or the

tenant has renewed its lease early, in

consideration for rent abatement and

deferral arrangements agreed between

Investore and the tenant, resulting in a

weighted average lease extension of

seven months being achieved across

COVID-19 arrangements.

Active Portfolio
Management

Investore’s strategy is to

invest in quality, large format

retail properties throughout

New Zealand, and actively

manage investors’ capital,

to maximise distributions

and total returns over the

medium to long term.

Investore focuses on owning

well-located properties with

long lease terms and high

occupancy, with nationally

recognised quality tenant

brands, and maintaining

strong and enduring tenant

relationships that support

the portfolio.

1. Countdown is owned by Woolworths NZ.

Investore is the only NZX listed company with a singular focus on the large format retail

property asset class. Large format retail property delivers a number of positive benefits,

especially in the current environment impacted by COVID-19, compared to other forms of

retail in New Zealand.

Optimisation of

the Portfolio

Investore looks to develop

existing properties to

meet the needs of tenants

and the surrounding

catchment, which may

include acquiring sites

adjacent to existing assets,

to provide development

options for the future.

Investore collaborated with Countdown

1

to refurbish the supermarket in Fenton Street,

Rotorua, as part of the ongoing refurbishment programme conducted jointly by Investore

and Countdown. Countdown completed a full internal store refurbishment of this

supermarket, including new fresh food, bakery, and delicatessen areas, as well as installing

new checkouts. At the same time, Investore supported its tenant to achieve a refreshed

and vibrant customer experience through improving the parking amenity of the property,

installing a new energy efficient heating and ventilation system, improving the entry to

the store and undertaking other building improvements. As a result of this partnership,

the supermarket has been transformed into an easy to access, attractive and convenient

place to shop, which Investore and Countdown expect to drive improved sales. Investore

targets co-investment opportunities with its tenants to improve the portfolio and which

benefit Investore and the tenant through attracting higher sales, driving improved rental for

Investore over the long term.

As reported in Investore’s FY20 annual report, Investore acquired a small corner property

adjacent to its existing Countdown supermarket in Papakura, Auckland. This site had a

retail structure on it which was at the end of its useful life. Investore has now completed

the transformation of this site to provide an expanded car parking amenity, as well as

improved access and overall sight lines for the supermarket and Investore’s nearby

tenant. Investore receives improvement rent from Countdown on its investment in these

works. In addition, Investore and Countdown expect improved customer amenity to drive

an increase in customer visitations to the property, resulting in improved sales at the

Countdown supermarket, which again is expected to deliver improved rental for Investore

over the long term.

Proactive Capital
Management

Investore’s strategy

is to proactively

manage its capital to

maintain a healthy

and flexible balance

sheet for growth, while

preserving sustainable

returns to investors.

Key transactions undertaken in the six months to 30 September 2020:

• Capital raising conducted in April and May 2020, raising $105 million in gross

proceeds, through a fully underwritten placement and a share purchase plan. In

order to ensure that the capital raising was as fair and equitable as possible to all

shareholders, Investore invited eligible shareholders to subscribe under the share

purchase plan for up to $50,000 worth of shares each, which would have enabled

almost all shareholders to maintain their proportionate holding in the company. In

addition, the price to be paid by shareholders under the share purchase plan was set

at the lower of the price paid by investors in the placement ($1.65 per share), and a

2.5% discount to the volume weighted average market price of Investore’s shares

over the five business day period prior to the closing date of the share purchase

plan. Ultimately, the price was set at $1.65 per share, which was lower than the

alternative.

• Listed bond issuance, with $125 million of 7-year listed bonds being issued in

August 2020, at a fixed interest rate of 2.4%.

• $80 million of new bank debt facilities secured (including $30 million post interim

balance date), and $101 million of bank facilities extended to June 2024.

The net proceeds of the capital raising and the bond issuance were used to repay bank

debt, positioning Investore to continue its strategy of growing its portfolio through

considered acquisitions to enhance Investore’s portfolio and support delivery of

Investore’s overall objective of maximising distributions and total returns to investors

over the medium to long term. The listed bond issue also enabled Investore to further

diversify its debt sources, and extended the weighted average maturity of Investore’s

debt facilities to 4.4 years (as at 30 September 2020), given the longer WALT of

Investore’s portfolio.

As at 30 September 2020, some of Investore’s key debt metrics are:

(loss) before income tax, adjusted for determined non-recurring and/

or non-cash items (including non-recurring adjustments for incentives

payable to anchor tenants for lease extensions) and current tax. Further

information, including the calculation of distributable profit and the

1.0 General information

This section sets out Investore’s accounting policies that relate to the unaudited 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 Investore Property Limited (Investore). Investore is domiciled in New Zealand and is registered under the

Companies Act 1993. Investore is also an FMC reporting entity under Part 7 of the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013.

Board Listing Rules.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with New Zealand Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (NZ GAAP), New Zealand International

Other non-recoverable property operating expenses represent property maintenance and operating expenses not recoverable from tenants and property

leasing costs.

1.5 COVID-19 impacts

The global COVID-19 pandemic and resulting impacts on credit and property markets has increased the level of uncertainty around certain estimates in these

financial statements.

Investore has previously disclosed to the market that it has made allowances to provide its tenants with rental support as a result of COVID-19, with an

expected cost to Investore in aggregate of between $1 million and $2 million for the year ending 31 March 2021. As at 30 September 2020, Investore has

provided rent abatements of $0.8 million and rent deferrals of $0.1 million. Rental abatements have been accounted for as lease modifications. In addition,

Investore has provided for $141,000 rental income abatements yet to be formally agreed with the affected tenants.

As at 31 March 2020, the independent valuations of Investore’s portfolio were reported on the basis of ‘material valuation uncertainty’, meaning less certainty

and a higher degree of caution should be applied. As at 30 September 2020, Investore undertook independent valuations of the entire portfolio. The ‘material

valuation uncertainty’ clause has been removed on all but one of the independent valuations (refer note 2.2).

1.6 Significant events and transactions

The financial position and performance of Investore was affected by the following events and transactions that occurred during the reporting period:

Acquisition of three properties from Stride Property Limited (SPL)

On 30 April 2020, Investore settled on the acquisition of three large format retail properties from SPL for $140.75 million (refer note 2.2).

Capital raise

During April and May 2020, Investore undertook a capital raise which resulted in a gross amount of $105 million raised, with 63,636,364 shares issued at

$1.65 per share (refer note 5.4). The net proceeds were used to repay $102 million of Investore’s bank borrowings.

Issuance of fixed rate bonds

On 31 August 2020, Investore issued $125 million of fixed rate bonds with a 7-year term, paying an interest rate of 2.40% (refer note 5.1). The proceeds were

used to repay $119 million of Investore’s bank borrowings.

Bank refinancing

Effective from 16 April 2020, Investore refinanced $101 million of debt facility, extending this facility for a further three years to 9 June 2024. In addition,

Investore secured a new $50 million, 5-year facility with its banking group, which now includes China Construction Bank, New Zealand Branch (refer note 5.1).

Revaluation of investment properties

Investore undertook independent valuations of the entire portfolio as at 30 September 2020, which resulted in a net change in fair value of investment

properties of $83,744,000 (30 Sep 19: $886,000) which includes ($26,000) (30 Sep 19: ($138,000)) in relation to the change in the fair value of the lease

liabilities (refer note 2.2).

1.7 Non-GAAP measures

The statement of comprehensive income includes two non-GAAP measures; Profit before net finance expense, other income/(expense) and income tax; and

Profit before other income/(expense) and income tax. These non-GAAP measures have been presented to assist investors in understanding the different

aspects of Investore’s financial performance.

Note 3.2 sets out Investore’s calculation for distributable profit and Adjusted Funds From Operations (AFFO) which are both non-GAAP measures.

Distributable profit is presented to enable investors to see an earnings measure which more closely aligns to Investore’s underlying and recurring earnings

from its operations. AFFO is intended as a supplementary measure of operating performance. Cash spent during the period on capital expenditure as part of

maintaining a building’s grade/quality, but not expensed as part of distributable profit after tax, is adjusted to reflect cash earnings for the period.

These non-GAAP measures do not have a standard meaning prescribed by GAAP and therefore may not be comparable to information presented by other entities.

As at 31 March 2020, a $5 million deposit had been paid in relation to the purchase of three large format retail properties, being Bunnings Mt Roskill, Auckland,

Mt Wellington Shopping Centre, Auckland and Bay Central Shopping Centre, Tauranga, from SPL for $140.75 million. Settlement of the acquisitions was

completed on 30 April 2020. Under the sale and purchase agreement, SPL is to complete seismic works of $7 million and has provided a rental guarantee of

$0.5 million. As at 30 September 2020, the seismic works had not commenced and $0.1 million of the rental guarantee had been utilised.

Valuations are performed by independent registered valuers who hold an annual practicing certificate with the Valuers Registration Board and are members of

the New Zealand Institute of Valuers.

All investment properties were valued by independent valuers as at 30 September 2020. The investment properties were valued either by CIVAS Limited

(Colliers), Colliers International (Wellington Valuation) Limited (Colliers Wellington), Jones Lang LaSalle Limited (JLL), Savills (NZ) Limited (Savills) or CBRE

Limited (CBRE) as indicated. The valuations are dated effective 30 September 2020.

The $15,457,000 (31 Mar 20: $11,117,000) lease liabilities are in respect to the ground leases at the corner of Anglesea and Liverpool Streets, Hamilton

(seven), 3 Averill Street, Auckland (one), 70 Studholme Street, Morrinsville (one), 51 Arthur Street, Blenheim (one), and the corner of Bridge and Anglesea

Streets, Hamilton (one).

In the current period, Investore executed the right of renewal for one of the seven ground leases at Anglesea and Liverpool Streets, Hamilton, for a further

21 years. As at 30 September 2020, the lease liabilities and right-of-use asset has been re-assessed by $4,366,000 to reflect the renewal and rent review.

2.2 Investment properties (continued)
As at 31 March 2020, the valuations were provided on the basis of ‘material valuation uncertainty’ meaning less certainty and a higher degree of caution should

be applied to the valuations. As at 30 September 2020, the ‘material valuation uncertainty’ remains only in the valuation of the property at 35 MacLaggan Street,

Dunedin, due to the expiry of the tenant lease in July 2021 and the unlikelihood of renewal.

In determining the valuations as at 30 September 2020, the valuers took into account:

• occupancy (leased area as a proportion of the total net lettable area) on individual investment properties (average is 99.7% at balance date) (31 Mar 20:

99.7%);

• average lease term (weighted average lease term (WALT) at balance date is 10.2 years (31 Mar 20: 11.5 years));

• discount rates (ranged from 3.88% to 9.50%) (31 Mar 20: 4.75% to 9.50%); and

• capital expenditure works of $0.6 million at 3 Averill Street, Auckland, relating to the carpark works.

Capitalisation rates ranged from 4.25% to 10.25% (31 Mar 20: 4.88% to 11.25%).

The estimated sensitivity of the fair value of the total investment property portfolio to changes in the market capitalisation rate and discount rate, assuming the

capitalisation rate or discount rate moved equally on all the properties, is as follows:

2.3 Capital expenditure commitments contracted for

As at 30 September 2020, Investore had committed to $0.337 million (31 Mar 20: $0.576 million) in total for various capital expenditure works to be

undertaken on investment properties over the next 12 months.

With regards to the property at 2 Carr Road, Auckland, Bunnings is planning to undertake an expansion of the trade zone and associated improvements along

with the planned seismic upgrades funded by SPL. Investore will contribute approximately $6 million towards the expansion and improvement works with an

associated improvements rental and a new 10-year lease on completion.

Investore has no other material commitments as at balance date.

This section sets out Investore’s earnings per share and how distributable profit is calculated. Distributable profit is a non-GAAP measurement

and is used by Investore to calculate profit available for distribution to shareholders by way of dividends.

3.2 Distributable profit
Accounting Policy

Investore’s dividend policy is to target a cash dividend to shareholders that is between 95% and 100% of its distributable profit. Distributable profit is

presented to enable investors to see an earnings measure which more closely aligns to Investore’s underlying and recurring earnings from its operations.

Distributable profit is a non-GAAP measure and consists of profit/(loss) before income tax, adjusted for determined non-recurring and/or non-cash items

(including non-recurring adjustments for incentives payable to anchor tenants for lease extensions) and current tax.

Adjusted Funds From Operations (AFFO) is also a non-GAAP measure and is intended as a supplementary measure of operating performance. Although

there is no standard meaning or measure per GAAP, AFFO has been determined based on guidelines established by the Property Council of Australia.

Cash spent during the period on capital expenditure as part of maintaining a building’s grade/quality, but not expensed as part of distributable profit after

current income tax, is adjusted to enable the investors to see the cash generating ability of the business.

SIML(737)

(617)

Investore has appointed SIML as its exclusive provider of ongoing real estate investment management services. Investore does not have any employees,

accordingly, there are no senior managers of Investore who have a relevant interest in the shares of Investore.

The performance fee expense is calculated and payable on a quarterly basis as 10% of the actual increase in shareholder returns (being share price, adjusted

for dividends, and other changes in capital structure), which is above 2.5% and under 3.75% in a quarter. Where shareholder returns exceed 3.75% in a

quarter, no payment is due for the actual amount of the return above 3.75% but the amount of the return above 3.75% is carried forward and added to the

calculation of shareholder returns in the next seven quarters. However, if shareholder returns are less than 2.5% in a quarter, the deficit is carried forward and

subtracted from the calculation of shareholder returns in the next seven quarters.

SIML received a performance fee of $775,494 for the quarter ended 30 June 2020 (quarter ended 30 June 2019: $523,110) and is due to receive a

performance fee of $670,205 for the quarter ended 30 September 2020 (quarter ended 30 September 2019: $484,808). The carried forward return for the

performance fee calculation for the quarter ended 31 December 2020 is 28.38% (31 Mar 20: carried forward return for the quarter ended 30 June 2020 was

3.16% deficit) which has been calculated in accordance with the management agreement.

As part of Investore’s $105 million capital raise (refer note 5.4), SPL paid Investore $16,522,301 to acquire 10,013,516 shares on 5 May 2020. Following that

capital raising SPL’s shareholding in Investore became 18.8%, being 69,201,977 shares (31 Mar 20: 19.4%, being 59,188,461 shares).

Bank borrowings

Investore’s bank borrowings are via syndicated senior secured facilities with ANZ Bank New Zealand Limited, Bank of New Zealand, Commonwealth Bank of

Australia, Westpac New Zealand Limited and China Construction Bank, New Zealand Branch.

In April 2020, Investore refinanced $101 million of debt facility extending this facility for a further three years to June 2024 and secured a new $50 million,

5-year facility. On 31 August 2020, following the receipt of $125 million from the retail bonds, Investore cancelled $99 million of bank facility that was due to expire

in June 2021.

Fixed rate bonds

On 31 August 2020, Investore issued $125 million of retail bonds with a 7-year term, expiring on 31 August 2027, paying an interest rate of 2.40%. The bonds

are quoted on the NZX Debt Market and their fair value is based on their listed market price as at balance date.

Interest on IPL010 is payable quarterly in April, July, October and January in equal instalments, whilst interest on IPL020 is payable quarterly in August,

November, February and May also in equal instalments.

Security

The bank borrowings and fixed rate bonds are managed through a security agent who holds a first registered mortgage on all the investment properties owned

by Investore and a registered first ranking security interest under a General Security Deed over substantially all the assets of Investore.

Investore enters into interest rate swaps that have similar critical terms as the hedged item, such as reference rate, reset dates, payment dates, maturities and

notional amount. Investore hedged 100% of its floating rate borrowings as at 30 September 2020 (31 Mar 20: 94%). As all critical terms matched during the

period, the economic relationship was 100% effective, with the exception of the $25 million fixed rate receiver interest rate swap.

On 21 March 2018, Investore entered into a $25 million forward start fixed rate receiver swap for the duration of the fixed rate bonds with the effect of

converting a portion of the IPL010 $100 million fixed rate bonds to floating interest rate. The life to date ineffective portion on the receiver swap, due to

the misalignment to the fixed rate bonds as a result of the bonds commencing on 18 April 2018, is a fair value loss of $27,754 (31 Mar 20: fair value loss of

$68,346), resulting in a fair value gain movement of $40,592 (31 Mar 20: fair value loss movement of $18,026) being recognised in the current period in the

statement of comprehensive income.

On 25 November 2019, Investore broke interest rate derivative contracts with a notional value of $30 million for a cost of $1,562,453. Of the total swap

break expense incurred, $161,915 was recognised as finance expense in the period ended 31 March 2020 and $1,400,538 had been recognised in equity

as other reserves as at 31 March 2020. Following the repayment of bank debt on the receipt of the $125 million from the retail bonds and the cancellation

of the $99 million bank facility, the amount remaining in other reserve has been expensed in the current period to finance expense as the hedged future

cashflows are no longer expected to occur.

On 31 August 2020, Investore broke interest rate derivative contracts with a notional value of $40 million for a cost of $2,152,916. This cost has been expensed

to the statement of comprehensive income as the hedged future cashflows are no longer expected to occur.

The fair values of interest rate derivatives are determined from valuations prepared by independent treasury advisors using valuation techniques classified as

Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy (31 Mar 20: Level 2). These are based on the present value of estimated future cash flows based on the terms and maturities of

each contract and the current market interest rates as at balance date. Fair values also reflect the current creditworthiness of the derivative counterparties.

The valuations were based on market rates at 30 September 2020 of between 0.31%, for the 90-day BKBM, and 0.51%, for the 10-year swap rate

(31 Mar 20: 0.49% and 0.91%, respectively). There were no changes to these valuation techniques during the reporting period.

As at 30 September 2020, the fair value of the interest rate derivatives was a net asset of $163,726, including an accrued interest liability of $47,033

(31 Mar 20: liability of $2,549,350, including an accrued interest liability of $113,085).

Gains and losses recognised in the cash flow hedge reserve in equity on interest rate derivative contracts as at 30 September 2020 will be reclassified in the

same period in which the hedged forecast cash flows affect profit or loss, until the repayment of the underlying borrowings.

placement which settled on 5 May 2020, and $20 million from its share purchase plan which settled on 20 May 2020, resulting in 63,636,364 shares being

In the current period, the income tax benefit of $392,280 arising from the swap break expenses in the cash flow hedges in the prior year has been recognised in the

statement of comprehensive income.

As part of its COVID-19 support package the New Zealand Government has reintroduced a 2% diminishing value depreciation deduction for commercial

properties, starting in April 2020 for Investore. This is estimated to provide a reduction in current tax to Investore of approximately $2.2 million for the year ending

31 March 2021.

Report on the interim financial statements

Our conclusion

We have reviewed the interim financial statements of Investore Property Limited (the Company), on pages 15 to 34 which comprise the statement of financial

position as at 30 September 2020, and the statement of comprehensive income, the statement of changes in equity and the statement of cash flows for the

six months ended on that date, and significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that these accompanying interim financial statements of the Company do not

present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at 30 September 2020, and its financial performance and cash flows for the

six months then ended, 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).

Basis for conclusion

We conducted our review in accordance with the New Zealand Standard on Review Engagements 2410 (Revised) Review of Financial Statements Performed

by the Independent Auditor of the Entity (NZ SRE 2410 (Revised)). Our responsibilities are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the review of

the interim financial statements section of our report.

We are independent of the Company in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements in New Zealand relating to the audit of the annual financial statements,

and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these ethical requirements. In addition to our role as auditor, our firm carries out other

services for the Company in the areas of other assurance services over operating expense audits. The provision of these other services has not impaired our

independence.

Directors’ responsibility for the interim financial statements

The Directors of the Company are responsible on behalf of the Company for the preparation and fair presentation of these interim financial statements in

accordance with IAS 34 and NZ IAS 34 and for such internal control as the Directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation and fair presentation of

interim financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s responsibility for the review of the interim financial statements

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the interim financial statements based on our review. NZ SRE 2410 (Revised) requires us to conclude whether

anything has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim financial statements, taken as a whole, are not prepared in all material respects, in

accordance with IAS 34 and NZ IAS 34. A review of interim financial statements in accordance with NZ SRE 2410 (Revised) is a limited assurance engagement.

We perform 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 and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we might identify in an audit.

Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion on these interim financial statements.

Who we report to

This report is made solely to the Company’s shareholders, as a body. Our review work has been undertaken so that we might state to the Company’s

shareholders 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 the shareholders, as a body, for our review procedures, for this report, or for the conclusion we

have formed.

The engagement partner on the review resulting in this independent auditor’s review report is Samuel Shuttleworth.

$7.0 million of seismic works to be completed by SPL on the properties, and (2) the rental guarantee of $0.5 million from SPL.

5.LVR is calculated based on independent valuations, which include seismic works and rental underwrites to be funded by SPL in relation to the three properties acquired from SPL and settled in April 2020. The independent valuations also exclude lease

liabilities.

Investore Property Limited | HY21 Interim Results Update

v
Update on COVID-19

Investore’sportfolio continues to

demonstrate resilience given the high

proportion of tenants that are

essential businesses

•Investore has worked with its tenants to support them through

the impact of COVID-19 throughout the year

•Investore’sapproach in assisting tenants has been focussed

on providing rental support through a combination of

abatements and deferrals, often in return for granting

extensions to lease terms, resulting in a weighted average

lease extension of seven months being achieved across

COVID-19 arrangements

•Investore expects

1

reduced gross rent receivable for FY21 to

be approximately $1m, compared with the previous forecast

of $1m-$2m

•Balanced against the reduced gross rent receivable for FY21,

Investore will benefit from the reintroduced building

depreciation deduction claims for property owners with

commercial properties at a level of 2% of diminishing value a

year, starting in April 2020. This is estimated to provide a

reduction in current tax of approximately $2.2m for FY21

1.Assuming no further deterioration in economic conditions due to COVID-19 and no significant further restrictions on activity.
