Kiwi Property announces half-year results and dividend
NZX RELEASE
23 November 2020
Kiwi Property announces half-year results and
dividend
Kiwi Property today announced its financial results for the six months ended
30 September 2020, reporting operating profit before tax
1
of $55.2 million, down 8.4% on
the same period last year. Net profit after tax
2
rose 47.5% to $54.2 million, assisted by a
fair value gain on investment properties.
Kiwi Property Chief Executive Officer, Clive Mackenzie, said the proactive steps taken
early in the financial year had enabled the Company to navigate the financial impacts
of COVID-19.
“While operating profit fell for the period, it’s important to consider the result within the
context of the lockdowns that took place in the first half. Looking ahead, we’re focused
on delivering a solid performance through the remainder of the 2021 financial year,
capitalising on our diversified property portfolio and the successful opening of Sylvia
Park Level 1,” said Mackenzie.
Property valuations
As at 30 September 2020, the Company’s mixed use, office, retail and other investment
properties were worth $3.2 billion
3
,
following an
$11.8 million fair value uplift. Net tangible
assets per share also increased marginally to $1.29. Kiwi Property’s office assets proved
most resistant to the economic impact of the pandemic, increasing in value by 4.3% to
$950 million. In contrast, the Company’s mixed-use and retail portfolios declined in
value by 0.9% (to $1.55 billion) and 3.3% (to $469 million) respectively.
“While the uncertainty caused by COVID-19 continues to impact property values, it’s
encouraging to see a firming of capitalisation rates and a general stabilisation of asset
pricing across our portfolio,” said Mackenzie.
Rent relief
The cost of the rent relief measures introduced to support tenants post-lockdowns
contributed to a 5.3% reduction in net rental income to $84.9 million. Adjusted Funds
from Operations
1
(AFFO) were similarly affected, declining 21.1% to $36.5 million.
The cash cost of the tenant support package remains within the $20 million provision
previously outlined by the Company (equivalent to $14 million after tax for the full-year)
and will have a first half pre-tax accounting impact of approximately $8.1 million. These
rent relief costs will be partially offset by the reintroduction of depreciation allowances
for commercial buildings, expected to increase Kiwi Property’s full year after-tax
earnings by approximately $4.5 million.

“COVID-19 and the ensuing lockdowns placed a number of our tenants under
significant pressure. While the costs associated with abating and deferring rent for our
tenants has impacted Kiwi Property’s financial performance, by supporting our retailers
and SMEs we have maintained productive shopping centres, and helped safeguard
the long-term performance of our assets,” said Mackenzie.
Resilient tenant portfolio
At the half year, Kiwi Property’s assets were 99.1% occupied, with a robust weighted
average lease expiry of 4.7 years. In parallel, income from new leases and rent reviews
rose 1.5% overall, led by office (+3.6%).
Kiwi Property’s tenant portfolio is increasingly resilient to the impact of future
COVID-19 related lockdowns. Around 50% of the Company’s tenants are designated as
either essential services or everyday essentials, many of which are able to operate at
more restrictive alert levels. With only two of Kiwi Property’s tenants contributing over
five percent of gross income, the Company also benefits from a diversified rental
stream.
Sylvia Park Level 1
Kiwi Property opened the 20,000 square metre Sylvia Park Level 1 expansion on
15 October 2020. The $277 million development features an extensive lineup of local
and international brands, including a two-level Farmers flagship store and ‘The Terrace
at Sylvia Park’ dining precinct. Following the launch of the new addition, Sylvia Park is
now home to 10 of New Zealand’s 11 favourite retailers
4
, as well as more than 250 stores
and over 5,000 free carparks, the most of any shopping centre in the country.
Moving forward on strategy
Kiwi Property continued to progress its mixed-use strategy through the first half of the
2021 financial year, with a focus on diversifying its asset base. Design of Sylvia Park
Tower 2 is ongoing, with resource consent granted for the 15-floor development.
Planning is also underway for Sylvia Park Tower 3, a smaller six-floor office and medical
building, as well as a build-to -rent residential development at Sylvia Park.
In October 2020, the Company began marketing for sale The Plaza shopping centre in
Palmerston North. The potential disposal of this asset forms part of Kiwi Property’s
portfolio rebalancing strategy and will unlock capital to help fund its mixed-use
development pipeline.
Dividend and guidance update
An interim dividend will be paid for the six month period ended 30 September 2020. In
line with Kiwi Property’s new dividend policy, the payout of 2.20 cents per share is set at
95% of the Company’s AFFO. Payment will be made on 18 December 2020.
Acknowledging that trading conditions remain uncertain for the remainder of the year,
the board expects full-year AFFO to be in the range of 4.90 to 5.15 cents per share
5
.
Kiwi Property Chair, Mark Ford, said the reinstatement of the dividend reflected a
relative stabilisation of trading conditions over recent months.

“COVID-19 has had a significant impact on Kiwi Property, however despite the
challenges the business has faced, we have remained resilient. We’re pleased to be in
a position to pay an interim dividend and encouragingly, provide guidance for the full
year.
“While the pandemic may create more uncertainty in the months ahead, as always,
we are committed to delivering for our shareholders and other stakeholders,” Ford
concluded.

2KIWI PROPERTY 2021 HALF-YEAR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Dear shareholders
New Zealand has experienced an unprecedented
series
of events over recent months, as it has adapted
to the realities of COVID-19. Despite lockdowns and
economic uncertainty, the country has responded to
the challenges caused by the global pandemic with
a characteristically Kiwi sense of pragmatism and
resilience. So too has Kiwi Property.
The first
half of the 2021 financial year has been unlike
any other in the Company’s history. COVID-19 has
disrupted the world around us, resulting in a new
normal operating environment. We have not been
immune to this volatility, but by being agile and
responding to both our tenants and the dynamic
operating environment, we have helped mitigate the
challenges caused by the pandemic and positioned
the business for the future.
Financial performance
Kiwi Property's net rental income declined 5.3% for
the period, due to rent relief measures required to
support tenants through the COVID-19 lockdown.
Operating profit
before tax
1
was similarly affected,
decreasing 8.4%.
While the costs associated with abating and deferring
rent for our tenants has had a short-term impact on
Kiwi Property’s
financial performance, by protecting
the health of our SMEs and retailers, we have
maintained productive shopping centres, cemented
long-term leasing arrangements and helped safeguard
the performance of our assets.

Property valuations
The fair value of Kiwi Property’s property portfolio
stabilised in the first half, recording an $11.8 million
gain. As at
30 September 2020, the combined
valuation of the Company’s mixed-use, office, retail
and other assets was $3.2 billion. Net tangible assets
rose marginally to $1.29 per share.
While the uncertainty caused by
COVID-19 continues
to cause a drag on asset pricing, capitalisation rates
tightened across the portfolio, including a weighted
average 19 basis point
firming of our office assets
to 5.3%. The positive revaluation of our investment
portfolio contributed to an uplift in net profit after tax,
which rose 47.5% on the prior comparable period.
Sylvia Park Level 1
On
15 October 2020, we opened the exciting new
20,000 square metre Level 1 expansion at Sylvia Park.
The $277 million development features an extensive
lineup of local and international brands, including a
two-level Farmers flagship store and ‘The Terrace at
Sylvia Park’ dining precinct. Sylvia Park is now home
to 10 of New Zealand’s 11 favourite retailers, as well as
more than 250 stores and over 5,000 free carparks, the
most of any shopping centre in the country.
Moving forward on strategy
Kiwi Property made progress on several core elements
of its strategy in the first half, with a focus on
diversifying our asset base. Design of Sylvia Park Tower
2 continued its positive momentum, with resource
consent now granted for the 15-floor
development.
Planning is also underway for Sylvia Park Tower
3, a smaller six-floor office and medical building,
already attracting encouraging leasing interest. This
two-pronged approach offers significant optionality
and the ability to move ahead with either (or both)
of the developments, depending on economic
conditions and tenant demand. In addition, design
of our
first build-to-rent residential scheme continues
to advance.
In October 2020, we began marketing the sale of
The Plaza shopping centre in Palmerston North. The
potential disposal of this asset forms part of our
portfolio rebalancing strategy and will unlock capital to
help fund our mixed-use development pipeline.
Dividend, guidance and outlook
Following a relative stabilisation of trading conditions
over recent months, we are pleased to advise that
an interim dividend will be paid for the period ended
30 September
2020. In line with the new dividend
policy, the payout of 2.20 cents per share has been
set at 95% of adjusted funds from operations
1
(AFFO).
While trading conditions remain uncertain for the
remainder of the year, we expect full-year AFFO to be in
the range of 4.90 to 5.15 cents per share, contingent on
the financial performance of the Company through the
second half of the financial year and barring material
adverse effects or unforeseen circumstances.
COVID-19 has had a significant impact on Kiwi
Property, however despite the challenges the business
has faced, we have remained resilient. While the
pandemic is likely to create more uncertainty in
the months ahead, our commitment to delivering
for our shareholders and other stakeholders remains
unchanged. Thank you for your continued support.

12KIWI PROPERTY 2021 HALF-YEAR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1.1 Reporting entity
The interim financial statements are for Kiwi Property Group Limited (Kiwi Property or the Company) and its controlled entities
(the Group). The Company is incorporated and domiciled in New Zealand, is registered under the Companies Act 1
993 and is
an FMC reporting entity for the purposes of the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013. The Company is listed with NZX Limited
with its ordinary shares quoted on the NZX Main Board and fixed-rate bonds quoted on the NZX Debt Market.
The principal activity of the Group is to invest in New Zealand real estate.
1.2 Basis of preparation
The interim
financial statements have been prepared in accordance with New Zealand Generally Accepted Accounting Practice
(NZ GAAP) and comply with New Zealand Equivalents to International Accounting Standards (NZ IAS) 34 - Interim Financial
Reporting and International Accounting Standards (IAS) 34 - Interim Financial Reporting. These interim financial statements
should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes in the 2020 annual report.
The interim financial statements for the six months ended 30 September 2020 are unaudited. Comparative balances for
30 September 2019 are unaudited, whilst the comparative balances for the year ended 31 March 2020 are audited.
The
financial statements have been prepared on the basis the Group is a going concern.
The financial statements are prepared on the basis of historical cost, except where otherwise identified. The functional and
reporting currency used in the preparation of the
financial statements is New Zealand dollars.
1.3 Significant changes during the period
The
financial position and performance of the Group was affected by the following events and transactions during the
reporting period:
Investment property acquisitions
During the six months ended 30 September 2020, the Group acquired properties in Mount Wellington and Drury for a total of
$
4.0 million.
COVID-19 global pandemic
In response to the COVID-19 global pandemic, New Zealand entered a nationwide Alert Level 4 lockdown on 26 March 2020.
During
Alert Levels 3 and 4 the operation of many of the Group’s tenants were restricted to varying degrees, and at Alert Level
2 businesses were able to operate with restrictions remaining in place around social-distancing and mass gatherings. At Alert
Level 1, businesses were able to operate with no restrictions around social-distancing and mass gatherings.
New Zealand moved from Alert Level 4 to Alert Level 3 on 28 April 2020, to Alert Level 2 on 14 May 2020 and to Alert Level 1
on 9 June 2020. Alert Levels were increased to Level 3 in Auckland and Level 2 across the rest of New Zealand on 12 August
2020 following new cases of community transmission of COVID-19. Areas outside of Auckland moved back to Alert Level 1 on
22 September 2020 whereas Auckland remained at Alert Level 2 as at 30 September 2020.
The pandemic resulted in the Group offering
rental relief across the majority of the Group’s tenants. This rental relief included
abatements for rental income payable for the months of April, May and June and in some cases also included rental deferrals
(generally for 18 to 24 months). These rental abatements are accounted for as lease modifications under New Zealand
Equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (NZ IFRS), with the change in lease payments amortised over the
remaining terms of the leases. Rental abatements relating to the COVID-19 global pandemic were $16.9 million gross, with an
impact of $4.6 million on the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income for the six months ended 30 September 2 020.
Rent deferrals as at 30 September 2020 amounted to $2.9 million, exclusive of GST.
1.4 New standards, amendments and interpretations
There were no new accounting standards impacting the financial statements for the six months ended 30 September 2020.
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.5 Key judgements and estimates
Critical judgements, estimates and assumptions are outlined throughout these interim financial
statements and in the 2020
annual report.
1.6 Accounting policies
The accounting policies and methods of computation used in the preparation of these interim financial statements are
consistent with those used in the 2
020 annual report.
The Group received $1.0m of government grants under the COVID-19 wage subsidy scheme in the six months ended
30 September 2020. The government grants were accounted for under NZ IAS 20 - Accounting for Government Grants and
Disclosure of Government Assistance, and have been presented on a net basis.

Depreciation recovered on the former PricewaterhouseCoopers Centre (PwC Centre), Christchurch
The impairment of the PwC Centre in the year ended 31 March 2
012 (resulting from the 2010 and 2011 Canterbury earthquakes)
and the associated insurance recovery triggered a potential tax liability for depreciation recovered.
Following the earthquakes, the Government introduced legislation that provides, in certain circumstances, rollover relief for
taxpayers affected by the earthquakes where insurance income will be used to acquire or develop replacement property in
the Canterbury region. The legislation requires that the replacement property be available for use by 31 March 2024. As at
30 September 2020, the Group continues to qualify for this relief and a deferred tax liability of $4.2 million continues to
be provided.

Trade debtors are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest
rate
method, less an allowance for impairment. Collectability of trade debtors is reviewed on an ongoing basis and a provision
for doubtful debts is made when there is evidence that the Group will not be able to collect the receivable. In determining
the provision the Group applies the simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses prescribed by NZ IFRS 9, which
permits the use of lifetime expected credit losses for all trade debtors. To measure the expected credit losses the Group uses a
provision matrix that is based on its historical credit loss experience, adjusted for forward-looking factors specific to the debtors
and the economic environment. Debtors are written off when recovery is no longer anticipated. There are no overdue debtors
considered impaired that have not been provided for.

Key estimates and assumptions: valuation and fair value measurement of investment properties
Introduction
All of the Group's investment properties have been determined to be Level 3 (31 March 2
020: Level 3) in the fair value hierarchy
because all significant inputs that determine fair value are not based on observable market data.
Valuation process
The investment properties in the Group’s mixed-use, retail and office portfolios were valued as at 30 September 2020 (all
investment properties were valued as at 31 March 2
020). All valuations are prepared by independent valuers who are members
of the Group's valuation panel and members of the New Zealand Institute of Valuers. Other properties and development land
are presented at their 31 March 2020 independent valuations, adjusted for capital expenditure over the period as appropriate.
This represents the Directors’ best estimate of fair value at 30 September 2020.
Investment property values are assessed within a range indicated by at least two valuation approaches; most commonly
the income capitalisation approach and discounted cash flow approach. Other valuation approaches, including the sales
comparison
approach or deferred land value approach may be used depending on the nature of the property. In addition, the
adopted valuation of an investment property undergoing development may be assessed using a residual approach. Valuation
techniques are outlined in the 2020 annual report.
Estimates are used in these valuation approaches to determine fair value. For the two most common approaches, these include
the
capitalisation rate in the income capitalisation approach and the discount rate in the discounted cash flow approach. Both
approaches are also influenced by other estimates relating to market rental levels, vacancy rates, letting-up allowances and the
cost of ongoing operating expenses, capital expenditure and other capital payments.
In relation to capital expenditure, the valuers for LynnMall, The Base, Centre Place North, The Plaza and Northlands have made
deductions for seismic strengthening works. The Group has provided the valuers with the estimated cost of works for each
asset. In some instances the valuer has assessed additional costs for potential works to buildings which have not been subject
to a Detailed Seismic Assessment (DSA) and/or made additional allowances for escalation and profit and risk. The timing of the
cash outflow for these costs has been spread over the likely remediation period and the overall value deduction reflects the
present value of costs over the adopted time horizon.
Under the residual approach, valuers estimate the ‘as if complete’ value of an asset using the common investment valuation
approaches described above. They then deduct remaining project costs to determine the asset’s ‘as is’ or residual value.
Sylvia Park was valued using the residual approach as the Level 1 development was still in progress as at 30 September 2020.
Detail on this approach and its application to the valuation of Sylvia Park is outlined in the 2
020 annual report.
The valuations of the independent valuers are reviewed by the Group and adopted as the carrying value in the financial
statements. As part of this process, the Group’s management verifies all major inputs to the valuations (including costs to
complete for investment properties being developed), assesses valuation movements since the previous year and holds
discussions with the independent valuers to assess the reasonableness of the valuations.
Impact of the COVID-19 global pandemic
As at 30 September
2020 the real estate markets to which the Group’s investment properties belong continue to be impacted
by market uncertainty caused by the COVID-19 outbreak.
The valuation uncertainty has affected key inputs, assumptions and processes used in the valuation of the Group’s investment
properties, being:
•estimating the net income that a property can produce (income uncertainty), and
•converting that income to value by applying investment rates of return which are derived from analysis of recent market
transactions (investment uncertainty).
Further detail on valuation uncertainty is outlined in the 2020 annual report.
The valuations of the Group’s investment properties as at
30 September 2 020, with the exception of The Aurora Centre and 44
The Terrace, have been prepared on the basis of ‘material valuation uncertainty’ as recommended by The New Zealand Institute
of Valuers to highlight the difficulties in undertaking valuations in the current environment.
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
19
A ‘material valuation uncertainty’ statement implies the valuation is current at the date of valuation only and that less certainty
and a higher degree of caution should be attached to the valuation. In addition, the valuation should be kept under frequent
review as the assessed value may change
significantly and unexpectedly over a relatively short period of time.
The valuer for the two Wellington commercial properties, The Aurora Centre and 44 The Terrace, has revised their previous
‘material valuation uncertainty’ statement as at
31 March 2020 to a ‘market volatility and uncertainty’ statement as at
30 September 2020. They continue to state that the value may change more rapidly and significantly than during standard
market conditions and that the value should be kept under frequent review, but it is a lesser statement as, in their opinion,
the level of uncertainty has become clearer post COVID-19 than was previously the case. The valuer notes market trends are
supporting a ‘flight to quality’ for investors seeking long lease terms with strong tenant covenant; attributes offered by these
two buildings.
Impact on values at
30 September 2020
To
reflect the impact of the pandemic on investment property value, the valuers have generally adopted softer valuation inputs
than those adopted prior to the pandemic, including lower growth rates across the near term, lower market rental levels,
increased vacancy rates and increased letting-up allowances. The valuers have also made deductions for the costs of estimated
rent relief to tenants for occupancy disruption resulting from pandemic-related impacts. This is consistent with the approach
taken for the valuations prepared as at 31 March 2 020, although the quantum of the deductions is less as at 30 September 2 020,
with the Alert Level 4 lockdown period having now passed. At 31 March 2020 we also saw the valuers expand capitalisation and
discount rates due to the greater market uncertainty. At 30 September 2020, we have seen some capitalisation and discount
rates contract with the lesser uncertainty, however these are not back to pre-pandemic levels.
For the six months ended 30 September 2
020 the Group reported a fair value gain of $9.2 million ($11.8 million after accounting
for the gross up of lease liabilities).
Costs to complete development - Sylvia Park
The completion of Sylvia Park’s Level 1 development was impacted by COVID-19 restrictions, with opening delayed until
15 October
2020. Costs to complete used by the valuers at 30 September 2020 were based on expected completion costs.
Valuation sensitivity
A sensitivity analysis that shows how a change to capitalisation and discount rates affects
the value of the Group’s mixed-use,
retail and office portfolios is provided on the following page. The metrics chosen are those single-value inputs where
movements are likely to have the most significant impact on fair value of investment properties.
The capitalisation rate relates to the income capitalisation approach and the discount rate relates to the discounted cash flow
approach. Generally, a change in the capitalisation rate is accompanied by a directionally similar change in the discount rate.
The table on the following page assesses each of these inputs in isolation and assumes all other inputs are held constant.
The valuation of investment properties is complex with a number of interrelated key inputs and assumptions.
When calculating the income capitalisation value, the gross market rent has a strong interrelationship with the core
capitalisation rate. An increase in the gross market rent and an increase in the core capitalisation rate could potentially
offset the impact to fair value. The same can be said for a decrease in each input. A directionally opposite change in the two
inputs could potentially magnify the impact to the fair value.
When calculating the discounted cash
flow value, the discount rate has a strong interrelationship with the terminal capitalisation
rate. An increase in the discount rate and a decrease in the terminal capitalisation rate could potentially offset the impact to
fair value. The same can be said for an opposite movement in each input. A directionally similar change in the two inputs could
potentially magnify the impact to the fair value.

Key estimate: fair value of interest rate derivatives
The fair values of interest rate derivatives are determined from valuations prepared by an independent treasury adviser using
valuation techniques
classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy (31 March 2020: 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
at balance date. Fair values also reflect the current creditworthiness of the derivative counterparties. These values are verified
against valuations prepared by the respective counterparties. The valuations were based on market rates at 30 September 2 020
of between 0.31% for the 90-day BKBM and 0.51% for the 10-year swap rate (31 March 2020: 0.49% and 0.93%, respectively).

Report on the interim financial
statements
Our conclusion
We have reviewed the interim
financial statements of Kiwi
Property Group Limited (the Company) and its controlled
entities (the Group), which comprise the consolidated
statement of financial position as at 30 September 2020,
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 significant accounting policies and
other explanatory information.
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention
that causes us to believe that the accompanying interim
financial statements of the Group do not present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of the Group
as at 30 September 2020, and its financial performance
and cash flows for the six month period 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).
Emphasis of Matter – Material valuation uncertainty
related to valuation of investment properties
We draw your attention to note 3.2 to the interim
financial statements, where the Company discloses that the
independent registered valuers have included a 'material
valuation uncertainty’ clause in their 30 September 2020
valuation reports for all but two properties, as a result of the
COVID-19
pandemic. This clause highlights that less certainty
and a higher degree of caution should be attached to the
property values than would normally be the case given the
continued uncertainty of the COVID-19 pandemic on property
values. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
Basis for conclusion
We conducted our review in accordance with the New
Zealand Standard on Review Engagements 2
410 (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 financial statements
section of our report.
We are independent of the Group 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 Group in the
areas of audits of special purpose financial information
in accordance with tenancy agreements, benchmarking of
executive remuneration and assistance with the long-term
incentive plan. The provision of these other services has not
impaired our independence.
Directors’ responsibility for the 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 3
4 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
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 and International
Standards on Auditing (New Zealand) 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 Jonathan Skilton.

>Kiwi Property took a number of steps to help mitigate the significant impact of
COVID-19 on the Company:
–20% temporary pay reductions taken by the board and executive.
–Board made the difficult decision not to pay a full-year dividend.
–Non-essential projects and operating expenditure suspended.
–Received $1.0m wage subsidy, enabling all team members to be retained.
–Worked with tenants to share a fair proportion of the COVID-19 impact.
>1H abatements have impacted AFFO by ~$17m. The expected full-year cost
remains within the $20m ($14m after tax equivalent) provision previously
advised.
>Pre-tax income impact of the rent relief package was $8.1m in 1H with the
balance to be spread over the remainder of the lease terms in future periods.
>Rent relief costs will be partially offset by the reintroduction of depreciation
allowances for building structures, worth ~$4.5m (after tax) in FY21.

General note: Comparative figures in slides 14-19 relate to the 1H 2020 period, unless otherwise stated. Net rental income
benefit in 1H 2021 of $1.2m due to reclassification of ground lease expenses under new NZ IFRS 16: Leases accounting standard.
> Net rental income (NRI) increased across the office
portfolio (+2.5%), but decreased for mixed-use
(-9.8%) and retail (-16.2%), driven by COVID-19
related rent abatements. Total COVID-19 impact
on NRI in the period was -$9.7m.
> Adjusted Funds from Operations (AFFO), a key
performance metric used to determine dividends,
reduced 21.1% to $36.5m.
> AFFO was affected by the cash impact of
COVID-19 rent relief, partially offset by lower
interest expense (excluding IFRS-16) following the
November 2019 equity raise, and tax depreciation
on buildings.
> Net profit after tax includes an $11.8m fair value
gain on Kiwi Property’s asset portfolio (no interim
revaluation was undertaken in FY20).

Rental growth
>Overall rental growth was 1.5% driven by rent

>Positive spreads recorded in the office portfolio
(+2.0%), led by new leases at Vero Centre.
>Mixed-use and retail leasing spreads declined 9.1%
and 22.5% respectively, driven by a short-term deal
with a retail chain currently in receivership.
•This agreement had a disproportionate impact
on the new lease metric, given the reduced
number of deals conducted during the period,
but enables the tenancies to remain full while
being repurposed.

> Retail sales for the year ended 30 September 2020
have been heavily impacted by COVID-19
lockdowns and trading restrictions.
> Total MAT is 9.1% down on the previous period.
> To present a more comparable position, sales have
been adjusted for actual days traded to try and
eliminate some of the lockdown impact.
> Figures shown do not include adjustments for
reduced trade due to social distancing and other
COVID-19 related restrictions.
> Encouragingly, adjusted sales are largely in line
with totals for the year ended February 2020,
suggesting trade has held up well despite strict
limitations on how certain retailers could operate.
1:Due to COVID-19, we were unable to collect sales data for the month of Mar-20 and therefore comparable data is for the year ended
29-Feb-20. 2: In FY20 we changed the basis of our sales reporting to align with the Australian Council of Shopping Centres guidelines and
methodology adopted by our peers. Under these guidelines sales are now reported inclusive of GST. 3:For April 2020, where all but
essential services were at Alert Level 4 lockdown, monthly sales were estimated based on the tenant’s April 2019 monthly sales adjusted
for the average difference in the prior six months trade over the corresponding month a year earlier. For May, August and September 2020
(Auckland only), actual sales recorded were adjusted pro-rata for the number of days traded. June, July and September 2020 (out of
Auckland only), were not impacted by lockdown therefore recorded sales for the month are unadjusted.

September 2020 (Auckland only), actual sales recorded were adjusted pro-rata for the number of days traded. June, July and September 2020 (out of Auckland only), were not impacted by lockdown therefore recorded sales

> On a like-for-like basis, supermarkets – being an
essential service -were unsurprisingly the only
category to record a sales improvement year-
on-year.
> On an overall basis, department store sales
were up on the prior year due primarily to a full
year’s sales from Kmart Sylvia Park.
> Cinemas and restaurants have been
particularly affected by restrictions on the size
of gatherings and this can be seen with sales
declines of 52% and 24% respectively
