Performance
Stride’s latest Product, Industre Property
Joint Venture (Industre), commenced
operations on 1 July 2020. Since
commencement, Industre has acquired
four industrial properties for a total
purchase price of $45.5m
Investore Property Limited (Investore)
has undertaken a number of capital
management initiatives over the six months
to 30 September 2020, including a capital
raise in April/May 2020, raising $105m
gross proceeds, and the issue of $125m
of 7-year listed bonds at an interest rate
of 2.4% per annum in August 2020
Investore's property portfolio value

has grown strongly to $980.3m, a net
valuation increase of $83.7m or 9.4%

2016 Kaikoura earthquake
1. See glossary on page 21.
2. Assuming no further significant restrictions or deterioration in economic activity due to
COVID-19.
3. Investore's portfolio value excludes: (1) $7.0m of seismic works to be completed by SPL on
the three large format retail properties acquired by Investore from SPL on 30 April 2020,
and the balance of the rental guarantee of $0.4m from SPL; and (2) lease liabilities. The
valuation of the property at 35 MacLaggan Street, Dunedin, remains subject to 'material
valuation uncertainty' due to the expiry of the tenant lease in July 2021.
4. Compared to Investore’s property portfolio as at 31 March 2020, and including the three
properties acquired from SPL as if those properties had been acquired as at that date,
based on the purchase price for those three properties excluding (1) the $7.0m of seismic
works to be completed by SPL on the properties, and (2) the rental guarantee of $0.5m
from SPL.
5. Investore's 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 by Investore from SPL and settled in April 2020. The independent valuations also
exclude lease liabilities.
6. Excludes lease liabilities. Includes Stride’s 62.4% interest in the unincorporated
component of the Industre Property Joint Venture. For more information, see note 3.2 to
the consolidated interim financial statements. Includes value of Level 12, 34 Shortland
Street, which houses Stride's head office, and is shown in the consolidated interim financial
statements as property, plant and equipment. Due to COVID-19, the investment property
valuations for five properties in the SPL directly-held portfolio have been reported on the
basis of ‘material valuation uncertainty’, meaning less certainty and a higher degree of
caution should be applied. The opinion of value has been determined at the valuation date
based on a certain set of assumptions, however these could change in a short period of
time due to subsequent events.
7. SPL paid $66.4m for the property at 34 Shortland Street, including $2.25m for building
upgrades, and has committed to a further $0.8m for additional upgrades.

All figures are for the six months ended 30 September
2020 (HY21) unless otherwise stated. Prior period figures
have been restated to be on a comparable basis given the
discontinued operation associated with the establishment

Chair and CEO’s Report
The first half of the FY21
financial year has been a very
active time for Stride Property
Group (Stride), a period that
has seen Stride undertake a
number of transactions designed
to continue its strategy of
establishing a group of Products
in specific commercial property
sectors to provide growth in
its investment management
business.
July saw the commencement of the Industre Property Joint Venture
(Industre), Stride’s latest commercial property Product, which has
a focus on the industrial property sector in New Zealand, with a
majority weighting to the Auckland market.
Stride has focused on growing its office portfolio following the
establishment of Industre, with the acquisition of two significant
office buildings:
• In September 2020 Stride acquired a building at
34 Shortland Street, Auckland, for a purchase price of
$67.5 million, including allowances for building upgrades
1
.
• On 19 November 2020 Stride announced that it had entered
into an unconditional agreement to acquire a building at
215 Lambton Quay, Wellington (Grant Thornton House), for a
purchase price of $84.5 million.
In addition to these strategic transactions, Stride has also been
working hard over the six months to 30 September 2020 to
manage the impacts of COVID-19 on its business and that of
the Stride Products. As investors are aware, Stride’s strategy of
creating an investment management business with diversified
income sources and distinct balance sheets for each of Stride’s
investment management Products means that Stride is well
positioned to manage the impact of COVID-19. We are pleased to
advise that we currently expect the financial impact of COVID-19
will be less than the levels forecast in Stride’s annual report for
FY20, and is currently expected to result in FY21 distributable
profit being lower than it otherwise would be by between ($0.2)
and ($1.9) million. More detail on the impact of COVID-19 on
Stride’s business can be found on pages 6 and 7 of this report.
Stride has worked with tenants to seek to reach agreement on
rental arrangements relating to the period impacted by COVID-19
restrictions, and in many cases has agreed reduced rental in return
for an extension on the lease term or an early renewal of the lease.
To date negotiations have been completed across approximately
81% of Stride’s office and retail shopping centre portfolios, with a
weighted average lease extension of 10 months agreed.
For the six months to 30 September 2020, Stride has delivered
positive financial results, particularly given the impact of
COVID-19. Profit before income tax from continuing operations
was up $22.4 million to $55.2 million (HY20: $32.7 million) and
profit after income tax from continuing operations up $24.6 million
to $51.6 million (HY20: $27.0 million). We note that the financial
statements for HY20 have been restated to be on a comparable
basis given the establishment of Industre during the period in
review, and the associated transfer of industrial assets to Industre.
Net rental income was $4.1 million lower than the prior
comparable period, of which $3.4 million was due to the sale of
the three large format retail assets to Investore Property Limited
(Investore) on 30 April 2020. Reduced rent receipts as a result
of COVID-19 has also contributed to this reduction in net rental
income. Offset against this reduced net rental income are savings
in corporate overheads, with total corporate expenses $0.8 million
lower than the prior comparable period, demonstrating Stride’s
efforts in reducing corporate costs to partially mitigate the
impacts of COVID-19 in FY21.
Management fee income was up $3.9 million to $13.1 million
in HY21 (HY20: $9.2 million), which has been driven by Stride's
strategy of growing its investment management business and
the growth in external assets under management during the six
months in review.
Share of profit in equity-accounted investments is materially higher
than HY20 at $22.3 million (HY20: $2.1 million), primarily as a
result of the increase in profit after income tax for Investore for
HY21, due to the revaluation movement in the Investore portfolio
and higher net rental income as a result of the additional assets
acquired from SPL.
Stride’s portfolio as at 30 September 2020 is valued at $726.3 million
2
,
or $810.8 million on a pro forma basis as at 30 September and including
the purchase price of the property at 215 Lambton Quay, Wellington
(expected to settle on 30 November 2020).
Stride’s acquisition strategy focuses on properties that have
“enduring demand”, and the Board was pleased to support the
acquisition of the properties at 34 Shortland Street and
215 Lambton Quay (Grant Thornton House), as it considers
that these properties represent the type of asset that Stride is
proud to own – well located properties near key public transport
infrastructure and with a good balance of tenants and potential for
improvements through strong management.
Stride is currently in the process of upgrading the office
property it owns at 22 The Terrace, Wellington, including seismic
strengthening works, extensive refurbishment, and installation
of a number of sustainability initiatives aimed at improving the
environmental performance of the building. Transforming this
property into a more sustainable commercial office property will
assist with this building continuing to have enduring demand.
Stride recognises that for properties to have enduring demand, it
is important they are environmentally sustainable and contribute
to the health and wellbeing of tenants. To ensure Stride continues
to meet investor and tenant expectations regarding a sustainable
business, the Stride Boards have established a Sustainability
Committee, which will have a particular focus on the environmental
performance of Stride and its portfolio.
Stride’s Products have also had an active first half of the FY21
financial year, with the portfolios of both Industre and Investore
growing strongly.
The vision for Industre is to grow a significant portfolio of high-
quality New Zealand industrial properties, and this has been
demonstrated over recent months with a number of acquisitions
and developments. Since the commencement of Industre on 1 July,
Industre has acquired four properties for a total purchase price of
$45.5 million (excluding acquisition costs). In addition, Industre
has completed two developments
3
for Waste Management – an
industrial facility at Selwood Road, Henderson, Auckland, and
a resource recovery park at Wickham Street, Hamilton. Both
properties have 25-year leases commencing on completion of
the respective development. These two facilities build on the
outstanding Waste Management Auckland headquarters delivered
by Stride for Waste Management, a property that recently won the
Property Council New Zealand Supreme Award 2020.
SIML has also completed a number of strategic initiatives on behalf
of Investore, Stride’s Product focused on the large format retail
sector, designed to position it well to continue its strategy to grow
its portfolio and secure investment opportunities that may arise.
These transactions included issuing $105 million of new shares
and $125 million of 7-year listed bonds at a fixed interest rate of

2.4% per annum. Investore’s portfolio has also grown strongly
in the six months to 30 September 2020, through acquisitions
(Investore settled the acquisition of three properties from SPL
on 30 April 2020 for a purchase price of $140.75 million) and
revaluation movement, with Investore’s portfolio having a value
4
of $980.3 million as at 30 September 2020.
The growth in the portfolios of SPL, Industre and Investore has
seen Stride’s assets under management grow to $2.48 billion
as at 30 September 2020, and $2.67 billion once all committed
developments and acquisitions have been taken into account
5
.
Looking forward, Stride will continue to pursue growth in its
investment management business, including through the
establishment of a group of Products in specific commercial
property sectors, while also supporting the growth of its current
Products, in line with the activity seen in the first half of FY21.
Stride is pleased to have announced today, with the release
of its interim results, that it has a conditional agreement to
acquire a premium grade property at 20 Customhouse Quay,
Wellington, for $228 million. In connection with this, Stride has
also announced that it is launching a capital raise, comprising a
placement for $180 million and a Share Purchase Plan for up
to $40 million (with the ability to accept additional applications
at Stride's discretion), to partly fund this acquisition, and the
acquisition of 215 Lambton Quay, Wellington.
The Stride Boards are pleased to confirm that they currently
anticipate that the total combined cash dividends per share for
SPL and SIML for FY21 will be 9.91 cps, assuming no further
significant restrictions or deterioration in economic activity due
to COVID-19.
Thank you for your continued support of Stride Property Group.

COVID-19 Update
1 Grey Street, Wellington
Stride has worked hard to
minimise the financial impact
of COVID-19 on its business,
and, based on the financial
performance for the first six
months of FY21 as well as
estimates for the remainder of
FY21, Stride expects the financial
impact from COVID-19 to be
less than that outlined previously,
and to result in a reduction in
distributable profit
1
of between
($0.2) and ($1.9) million.
Stride has proactively sought to agree rental arrangements with
those tenants impacted by the lockdown announced in March
of this year, so as to provide a sustainable future for both Stride
and its tenants where possible. In many cases this has involved
providing rental abatements in return for an extension to the lease
term or an early renewal of the lease, thus providing benefits to
both parties.
With negotiations completed across approximately 81% of Stride’s
office and retail shopping centre portfolio, Stride expects that
the financial impact of the rent relief arrangements will be lower
than the previous estimate (as set out below). To date Stride has
benefited from these arrangements through achieving a weighted
average lease extension of 10 months across all COVID-19 deals
agreed to date.
SIML has also undertaken COVID-19 negotiations with tenants
on behalf of the Stride Products, which negotiations have sought,
where possible, to agree a lease term benefit to the Stride Product
in connection with rent abatements or deferrals provided for
the benefit of the tenant. These negotiations have resulted in a
weighted average lease extension of seven months achieved
across COVID-19 arrangements agreed on behalf of Investore,
and10 months for Diversified.
During the most recent Alert Level escalation in August 2020,
when Auckland went to Alert Level 3 and the remainder of
the country to Alert Level 2, the majority of Stride’s tenants
remained open and operational. The impacts of this lockdown
period have been included in the updated expected impacts set
out below.
Stride has also been conscious of reducing corporate costs
in FY21, as can be seen in the consolidated interim financial
results for HY21, and is on track to achieve a reduction in
corporate costs from the original FY21 budget, resulting in a
benefit to distributable profit of between $1.0 and $2.2 million.
1. See glossary on page 21.
2. Estimate set out in Stride’s FY20 annual report, released on 23 June 2020.
3. Excluding depreciation deductions on acquisitions of property since 1 April 2020.
4. Including the tax impact of higher derivative break costs associated with the settlement of
the Industre transaction as a result of lower market interest rates.

SPL’s Office and Retail
Property Portfolio
Following the sale of SPL’s remaining three large format retail
properties to Investore in April 2020 and the establishment of
Industre in July 2020, SPL currently directly owns office and
retail shopping centre assets. In addition, SPL directly holds an
interest in five industrial assets owned through the unincorporated
component of the Industre Property Joint Venture
1
; however these
assets are reported in the property metrics in this interim report as
part of the Industre Property Joint Venture.
During the six months to 30 September 2020, the SIML team
completed 11 new lettings and 34 renewals over 7,530 sqm
across the Stride office and retail shopping centre portfolio. This
transactional activity, together with the COVID-19 arrangements
agreed with tenants, has reduced the FY21 lease expiry from
13.8% of this portfolio as at 31 March 2020 to 5.6% as at
30 September 2020, with occupancy maintained at 95.9%.
1. For legal and accounting purposes an interest in these five properties owned through the unincorporated component of the
Industre Property Joint Venture is considered to be owned directly by SPL.
2. See glossary on page 21.
3. As at 30 September 2020, as if the acquisition of the property at 215 Lambton Quay, Wellington, which acquisition is
unconditional and is expected to settle on 30 November 2020 had occurred as at 30 September 2020.
4. Includes Johnsonville Shopping Centre, which is owned 50:50 by SPL and Diversified.
5. Excludes 22 The Terrace, Wellington, as this property is currently under refurbishment and not available for lease.

This leasing activity has led to the WALT
2
of Stride’s retail shopping
centre portfolio increasing from 4.3 years to 4.5 years as a result of
positive transactional activity across Silverdale Centre, NorthWest
Shopping Centre and Johnsonville Shopping Centre. In particular,
Stride is pleased to report that it has seen strong leasing activity
at the Silverdale Centre, with seven tenants renewing their leases
or entering into new leases, including Macpac, Noel Leeming and
Beds R Us, resulting in an improved WALT for this asset of
5.1 years (4.6 years as at 31 March 2020).
SPL’s office portfolio has grown, with the addition of two quality
buildings, in 34 Shortland Street, Auckland, and 215 Lambton
Quay, Wellington (expected to settle on 30 November 2020).

SPL’s Property Interests
Stride’s strategy is to establish a group
of Products in specific commercial
property sectors to provide growth in its
investment management business. SPL
will continue to take an ownership interest
in each of the Stride Products. The recent
establishment of Industre is an example of
Stride creating a new Product using SPL’s
industrial assets as the initial portfolio for
the new Product.
SPL’s property interests therefore
comprise a combination of directly-held
property (office and retail shopping
centres), as well as indirect property
ownership through the interests SPL
holds in the Stride Products of Investore,
Industre and Diversified.
Stride’s property interests can grow
through direct acquisitions, such as the
office buildings at 34 Shortland Street,
Auckland, and 215 Lambton Quay,
Wellington, or through the growth of the
Stride Products, as we have seen with
the growth in Investore’s portfolio over
the last year.
1. Based on valuations as at 30 September 2020 and including committed acquisitions and developments. Includes the
acquisition of the property at 215 Lambton Quay, Wellington. SPL has an agreement to purchase this property which became
unconditional post interim balance date, on 19 November 2020. The acquisition is expected to settle on 30 November 2020.

The Industre Property
Joint Venture is a joint
venture between SPL and
a group of international
institutional investors,
through a special purpose
vehicle and advised
by J.P. Morgan Asset
Management
(together, JPMAM).
Industre invests in
industrial property, with a
majority weighting to the
Auckland market.
SPL and JPMAM both have strong growth ambitions for Industre in the industrial
property sector. Since agreeing with JPMAM to establish Industre, Stride has been
very active in seeking to give effect to these growth ambitions, despite the challenging
COVID-19 environment. Recent acquisitions include:
• 1 Ross Reid Place, East Tamaki, Auckland, purchased in July 2020 for
$15.5 million. This property is leased to Facteon Intelligent Technology Limited,
a Haier Group company, and includes 2,977 sqm of vacant surplus land,
representing a development opportunity.
• 468 Rosebank Rd, Avondale, Auckland, purchased in July 2020 for $4.4 million. This
0.4ha site will be used to enhance the street access and utility of Industre’s existing
property at 460 Rosebank Road, providing yard area and full site drive around.
• 4-14 Patiki Rd, Avondale, Auckland, purchased for $21.75 million in August
2020. This property is 2.08ha and is leased to Valspar Paint Limited. This
property is a redevelopment opportunity with excellent transport connectivity.
• 7 Charann Place, Avondale, Auckland, purchased for $3.85 million in September
2020. This property is leased to ITW New Zealand Limited, a manufacturer of buckles,
fasteners, taps and fittings, and adjoins Industre's property at 460 Rosebank Road.
Industre also expects to settle the acquisition of 439 Rosebank Road, Avondale, with
a purchase price of $8 million
1
, within the next few months and has been working on
plans to improve or redevelop the existing building on this site.
In accordance with the understanding between JPMAM and Stride, JPMAM
contributed all of the equity funding for the above acquisitions. This has meant that
SPL’s shareholding in Industre has reduced from approximately 68% at establishment
to approximately 62.4% as at 30 September 2020.
As previously reported, JPMAM has allocated additional capital to fund growth
initiatives for Industre, subject to meeting certain investment return and approval
thresholds. The equity capital funded by JPMAM for the above acquisitions has been
part of this capital allocation, with a further $79 million of additional capital remaining
from this initial allocation as at 30 September 2020.
In addition, Industre has completed the development of two industrial facilities for
Waste Management – one at Selwood Road, Henderson, Auckland, and one at
Wickham Street, Hamilton, each with 25-year leases. These developments achieved
practical completion in October and November 2020 respectively. SIML and
Industre are very proud to have delivered two further exceptional facilities for Waste
Management, following on from the completion of Waste Management’s Auckland
headquarters in December 2019. Industre is very proud to own the Waste
Management Auckland headquarters, a building that recently won the Property Council
of New Zealand Supreme Award for 2020.
Stride looks forward to continuing to work with the JPMAM team to grow the Industre
portfolio over time with considered acquisitions and developments.

Diversified owns four
shopping centres:
• Chartwell Shopping
Centre, Hamilton
• Queensgate Shopping
Centre, Lower Hutt
• Remarkables
Park Town Centre,
Queenstown
• 50% of Johnsonville
Shopping Centre,
with SPL owning the
remainder
The first six months of FY21 have been an active period for Diversified in managing
the impacts of COVID-19. The centres, which are managed by SIML, have been
very prompt to adjust their facilities to ensure appropriate physical distancing and
compliance with restrictions on the number of people in each area. The centres have
also provided support to tenants to assist them with operating click and collect services
safely, to enable tenants to continue to conduct their business, including during
restrictions imposed as a result of COVID-19.
SIML has also been negotiating rent arrangements with shopping centre tenants
on behalf of Diversified, to provide support to tenants affected by the COVID-19
restrictions and particularly the April and May Alert Level 4 period. SIML has taken a
tenant by tenant approach to agreeing lease arrangements, to provide more support
to smaller tenants that have less financial ability to survive closure periods. As with
other Stride Products, SIML has sought to negotiate extensions to lease terms or
early renewals with tenants, in consideration for rent abatement and deferral. With
COVID-19 rent relief arrangements now having been finalised for approximately 70%
of tenants, this has resulted in a weighted average lease extension of 10 months.
The transactions agreed to date by SIML on behalf of Diversified have also contributed
to an overall net valuation increase for the Diversified portfolio of $19.1 million or
4.6% for the six months to 30 September 2020, a very pleasing outcome in the current
environment.
The rebuild of part of the Queensgate Shopping Centre has also been progressing well,
with an impressive amount of steel being installed on site to ensure a sturdy and secure
building. Part of the centre was demolished at the request of the Hutt City Council
following the 2016 Kaikoura earthquake. Diversified is rebuilding what was lost, being
a carpark and cinema. The construction team has worked well to mitigate the impacts
of COVID-19 on the rebuild, with the carpark remaining on track to be completed in
early 2021, and the state of the art cinema due to open in early 2022.

Stride Property GroupStride Property GroupInterim Report for the six months ended 30 September 2020Interim Report for the six months ended 30 September 20202829
1.0 General Information1.0 General Information (continued)
This section sets out Stride Property Group’s accounting policies that relate to the unaudited consolidated interim financial statements (financial
statements) as a whole. Where an accounting policy is specific to a note, the policy is described within the note to which it relates.
1.1 Reporting entity
The financial statements presented are those of Stride Property Limited (SPL) and Stride Investment Management Limited (SIML), each of SPL and SIML being
a “Stapled Entity”, and together the Stride Property Group (Stride). For accounting purposes, stapling gives rise to the combination of the Stapled Entities into
a consolidated group. For the purposes of financial reporting, one of the combining entities is required to be identified as the parent entity of the consolidated
group. In the case of Stride, SPL has been identified as the parent for the purposes of preparing the financial statements and consequently SIML’s equity is
presented as the non-controlling interest in the financial statements.
SPL is principally involved in the ownership of investment properties in New Zealand and SIML is principally involved in the management of real estate
investment entities in New Zealand. SPL and SIML are both domiciled in New Zealand, are both registered under the Companies Act 1993 and are both FMC
reporting entities under Part 7 of the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013.
Shares of SPL and SIML are stapled and quoted on the Main Board equity securities market of NZX under the ticker code SPG.
The financial statements were approved for issue by the Board of Directors of SPL (SPL Board) and the Board of Directors of SIML (SIML Board), together the
“Boards”, on 25 November 2020.
1.2 Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with New Zealand Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (NZ GAAP), New Zealand International
Accounting Standard 34 (NZ IAS 34) Interim Financial Reporting and International Accounting Standard 34 (IAS 34) Interim Financial Reporting.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost basis except for assets and liabilities stated at fair value as disclosed. The financial
statements have been presented in New Zealand dollars and have been rounded to the nearest thousand, unless stated otherwise.
The financial statements do not contain all the disclosures normally included in an annual financial report and should be read in conjunction with the audited
2020 annual consolidated financial statements.
Certain comparative information has been re-presented. Refer note 6.5 for more information.
1.3 New standards, amendments and interpretations
At the date of approval of the financial statements, there were no relevant standards in issue but not applied.
1.4 Significant accounting policies, estimates and judgements
The same accounting policies and methods of computation are followed in the financial statements as compared with the most recent annual consolidated
financial statements with the exception of the policy for property, plant and equipment (refer note 7.4).
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.
Stride has previously stated 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 SPL in aggregate of between $8 million and $11 million for the year ending 31 March 2021. As at 30 September 2020, SPL has provided rent abatements
of $2.1 million and rent deferrals of $0.5 million. Rental abatements that have been agreed with tenants have been accounted for as lease modifications. In
addition, SPL has provided for $2.4 million rental income abatements yet to be agreed with the affected tenants.
As at 31 March 2020, the independent valuations of SPL’s portfolio were reported 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, SPL undertook independent valuations of the entire portfolio. The
‘material valuation clause has been removed on all but five of the independent valuations (refer note 3.2).
1.6 Significant events and transactions
The financial position and performance of Stride was affected by the following events and transactions that occurred during the reporting period:
Divestment of properties to Investore Property Limited (Investore)
On 30 April 2020, SPL settled on the disposal of three large format retail properties to Investore for $140.75 million (refer note 3.2).
Acquisition of shares in Investore
On 5 May 2020, SPL paid Investore $16.5 million (refer note 7.2) to acquire 10,013,516 shares in Investore’s capital raise. Following that capital raising, SPL's
shareholding in Investore reduced from 19.4% as at 31 March 2020 to 18.8%.
Commencement of Industre Property Joint Venture (Industre)
On 1 July 2020, Industre commenced operations. Industre is a joint arrangement between SPL and a group of international institutional investors, through
a special purpose vehicle, advised by J.P. Morgan Asset Management (JPMAM). On 1 July 2020, SPL held a 68.25% interest in Industre. This reduced to
62.42% as at 30 September 2020 (refer notes 3.2 and 6.0).
Funding
Effective from 24 April 2020, SPL refinanced $135 million of debt for a further three years to 30 June 2024.
Post the settlement of the disposal of the three large format properties to Investore and the settlement of Industre, SPL repaid $206 million in total of bank
borrowings and broke $120 million of interest rate derivatives for a total cost of $9.29 million (refer note 5.2).
Acquisition of investment properties
On 1 April 2020, SPL acquired an industrial property at 16 Wickham Street, Hamilton, for a purchase price of $10 million. This property became part of
Industre (refer note 3.2).
On 2 September 2020, SPL acquired an office building at 34 Shortland Street, Auckland, for a purchase price of $66.4 million (refer note 3.2).
Revaluation of investment properties
SPL undertook independent valuations of the entire portfolio which resulted in a net change in fair value of investment properties of $21.1 million
(30 Sep 19: $24.8 million) (refer note 3.2). The investment properties held by Investore, Industre and Diversified NZ Property Trust (Diversified) were also
valued by independent valuers at 30 September 2020. SPL’s share of the valuation gains/(losses) are reflected in share of profit in equity-accounted
investments and for those properties in the Industre joint operation are reflected in net change in fair value of investment properties.
1.7 Non-GAAP measures
The consolidated 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 Stride’s financial performance.
Note 4.3 sets out Stride’s calculation for distributable profit and Adjusted Funds From Operations (AFFO) which are both non-GAAP measures.
Distributable profit is presented to provide an earnings measure which more closely aligns to Stride’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 current income tax, is adjusted to reflect cash earnings for the year.
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.

2.0 Operating Segments2.0 Operating Segments (continued)
This section sets out how Stride’s revenue streams are reported internally, reflecting the two operating segments being SPL and SIML.
SPL’s revenue streams are earned from investment properties owned in New Zealand, with no specific exposure to geographical risk. Given SPL’s diverse
client base, no one tenant represents greater than 10% of the portfolio contract rental. SPL’s revenue streams included the revenue streams earned from the
industrial investment properties divested to Industre.
SIML’s revenue streams are earned from the management of the real estate investments of Investore, Industre, Diversified and SPL. For the revenue earned
from Investore, Industre and Diversified, refer to note 7.2 on related party disclosures and 6.4 on Industre joint operation.

$2.4 million ($2.3 million for continuing operations and $0.1 million for discontinued operations) for abatements yet to be finalised was provided for.
Other non-recoverable property operating expenses represent operating expenses not recoverable from tenants and property leasing expenses. Salaries and
wages costs of $0.7 million (30 Sep 19: $0.8 million) charged by SIML to SPL have been eliminated in the direct property operating expenses.
3.2 Investment properties
Accounting policy
Investment properties are de-recognised upon disposal. The net gain or loss on disposal to third parties is calculated as the difference between the
carrying amount at the time of the disposal and the net proceeds on the disposal, and is included in the consolidated statement of comprehensive
income in the reporting period in which the disposal occurs. The net gain or loss on disposal to a joint arrangement or associate is recognised only to the
extent of the other investors’ participating interest in the joint arrangement or associate.

As at 31 March 2020, SPL had entered into conditional contracts to divest three large format retail properties being Bunnings Mt Roskill, Auckland, Mt
Wellington Shopping Centre, Auckland, and Bay Central Shopping Centre, Tauranga, to Investore for $140.75 million. The properties were reclassified from
investment properties to investment properties classified as held for sale and were held at $132.196 million, being the contracted sales price excluding the
seismic works SPL is to complete, estimated at $7.9 million and rental guarantee costs of $0.6 million. SPL settled on the divestment of the three properties on
30 April 2020. As at 30 September 2020, the seismic works had not commenced and $0.1 million of the rental guarantee had been utilised.
On 1 April 2020, SPL settled on the acquisition of the property at 16 Wickham Street, Hamilton, for a purchase price of $10 million. This property became part
of the Industre joint venture.
On 2 September 2020, SPL acquired an office building at 34 Shortland Street, Auckland, for $66.4 million, including an allowance of $2.25 million for
building upgrades which are expected to be completed over the next 12 to 18 months. SPL has acquired the 17-level building except for levels 4-7, which
are owned by another party. Stride’s head office is located in this building and the value attributable to this floor has been recognised as property, plant and
equipment (refer note 7.4).
Included in the 30 September 2020 balance of investment property at valuation is an implicit right-of-use asset of $22.67 million (31 Mar 20: $22.67 million)
in relation to a peppercorn ground lease at 55 Lady Elizabeth Lane (previously known as 33 Customhouse Quay), Wellington, with an associated immaterial
lease liability.
The $27,451,000 lease liabilities are in respect to the ground leases at NorthWest Shopping Centre, Auckland, and 7-9 Fanshawe Street, Auckland.
The net change in fair value of $21,114,000, being $16,584,000 from continuing operations and $4,530,000 from discontinued operations (refer note 6.5),
(31 Mar 20: ($1,756,000)) includes ($33,000) (31 Mar 20: $62,000) in relation to the change in the value of the lease liabilities.
In the current period, a revaluation movement of $865,000 (31 Mar 20: $3,469,000) arising from the elimination of the fees charged by SIML to SPL (refer
note 2.0), has been reflected in the consolidated statement of financial position. Capital expenditure consists of fit-outs and other physical enhancements to
the investment properties, with ownership of such capital amounts being retained by SPL.

3.2 Investment properties (continued)
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), CBRE Limited (CBRE) or Bayleys Valuations Limited (Bayleys) as indicated. The valuations are dated
effective 30 September 2020.
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. The inclusion and/or amendment of this clause has differed across valuation firms for the valuations undertaken as at
30 September 2020 with the ‘material valuation uncertainty’ remaining in the valuations of the following investment properties:
• 34 Shortland Street, Auckland
• 80 Greys Avenue, Auckland
• NorthWest Shopping Centre and NorthWest Two, Auckland
• Johnsonville Shopping Centre, Wellington
The valuers took into account:
• occupancy (leased area as a proportion of the total net lettable area) on individual investment properties (average is 97.0% at balance date)
(31 Mar 20: 98.1%);
• average lease term (weighted average lease term (WALT) at balance date is 5.5 years) (31 Mar 20: 6.0 years);
• discount rates (ranged from 6.50% to 9.50%) (31 Mar 20: 6.50% to 9.50%), and
• capital expenditure works of $1,508,000 including capital expenditure works of $723,000 relating to the development works at 22 The Terrace,
Wellington.
Capitalisation rates ranged from 4.63% to 9.00% (31 Mar 20: 4.75% to 9.13%).
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:

This section sets out Stride’s earnings per share and how distributable profit is calculated. Distributable profit is a non-GAAP measurement and is
used by Stride to calculate profit available for distribution to shareholders by way of dividends.
4.1 Basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS)
Basic and diluted EPS amounts are calculated by dividing profit after income tax attributable to shareholders by the weighted average number of shares
on issue.
Weighted average number of shares for the purpose of diluted EPS has been adjusted for 1,488,630 (30 Sep 19: 1,187,838) rights issued under SPL’s long-
term share incentive schemes.

4.2 Distributable profit
Accounting policy
Stride’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 Stride’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, share of profits in equity-accounted investments, dividends received from equity-accounted investments 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.

Weighted average interest rate for drawn debt
(inclusive of current interest rate derivatives, margins and line fees) at balance date4.44%3.61%
SPL’s bank borrowings are via syndicated senior secured facilities with ANZ Bank New Zealand Limited (ANZ), Commonwealth Bank of Australia and Westpac
New Zealand Limited.
Effective from 24 April 2020, SPL refinanced $135 million of debt for a further three years to 30 June 2024. As a part of this refinancing, SPL chose to reduce
its total available facilities post the settlement of the disposal of the three large format properties to Investore and the settlement of Industre to $305 million.
Key changes to SPL’s facility agreement, which took effect from the completion of Industre, are as follows:
• the entities involved in Industre, and their properties, fall outside the guaranteeing group for the SPL facility.
• margins and line fees vary depending on the mix of assets held by SPL. Lower margins and fees will apply where SPL’s asset and tenant mix is sufficiently
diversified to allow improved capital treatment from its lenders’ perspective.
The bank security on the facilities is managed through a security agent who holds a first registered mortgage on all the investment properties owned by SPL
and a registered first ranking security interest under a General Security Deed over substantially all the assets of SPL. SPL has been compliant with bank
covenants during the respective periods.
SIML does not have any bank borrowings (31 Mar 20: nil) however, it does have a $3 million overdraft facility with ANZ, which has not been utilised during the
current period.

Following the disposal of the three large format properties to Investore and the settlement of Industre:
• interest rate derivative contracts with a notional value of $120 million were broken on 30 June 2020 for a cost of $9,293,000. The banking
syndicate has agreed for SPL to exclude the $9,293,000 from the interest times cover covenant. Of the total swap break costs incurred, $1,075,000
(31 Mar 2020: $8,218,000) ($419,000 from continuing operations and $656,000 from discontinued operations (refer to note 6.5)) has been
recognised as hedge ineffectiveness in the current year.
• $1,380,000 has been expensed to finance expense - swap break expense in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income relating to swap
break costs recognised in equity as other reserves as at 31 March 2020. This expense related to interest rate derivative contracts, with a notional value
of $100 million, that were broken between 24 and 30 April 2018 for a cost of $4,058,000 and have been expensed in the current period as the hedged
future cash flows are no longer expected to occur.
As at 30 September 2020, the fair value of the interest rate derivatives was determined using valuation techniques classified as Level 2 in the fair value
hierarchy (31 Mar 20: Level 2).

6.0 Equity-Accounted Investments
This section sets out how the equity accounted investments held by SPL are accounted for in Stride.
6.1 Industre
Effective from 1 July 2020, Industre commenced operations. Industre owns and develops for long term income producing purposes industrial property in
New Zealand, primarily located in the Auckland region. SPL contributed all its industrial properties to Industre, including the property at 16 Wickham Street,
Hamilton, that SPL acquired on 1 April 2020.
Initially JPMAM committed approximately $70 million to the establishment of Industre and has additionally allocated a further $115 million of capital to fund
near term growth initiatives, subject to meeting certain investment return and approval thresholds, taking JPMAM’s total equity committed to $185 million.
Over the long term, the strategy is for JPMAM to fund further portfolio growth until the respective economic contributions to the portfolio are 75%/25%
(JPMAM/SPL).
The agreement between SPL and JPMAM in relation to their co-ownership requires unanimous consent from both parties for all relevant activities. The
accounting for the arrangements by SPL is a combination of a joint operation (proportionate share of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses) and joint venture
(equity accounted). SIML is the manager of the joint arrangement.
6.2 Interests in associates and joint venture
Accounting policy
Interests in associates and the joint venture are accounted for using the equity method and are stated in the consolidated statement of financial position
at cost, adjusted for the movement in SPL’s share of their net assets and liabilities. Under this method, SPL’s share of profits and losses after tax of
associates and profit and loss before tax of the joint venture are included in SPL’s profit before taxation. Adjustments to the carrying amount are also
made for SPL’s share of changes in the associates’ and the joint venture’s other comprehensive income. SPL’s accounting policy is not to take account
of the effects of transactions recorded directly in equity outside profit or loss and other comprehensive income.
Under the equity method, gain or loss resulting from transfer of investment properties to associates and the joint venture in exchange for cash or shares
is recognised only to the extent of the other investors’ interest in the associates or the joint venture, however when cash and shares are received, the
portion of the gain or loss relating to cash is recognised in full.
Set out below is a summary of the associates of SPL as at 30 September 2020, which, in the opinion of the directors, are material to SPL.

6.3 Industre joint venture
Industre joint venture comprises of Industre Property Tahi Limited (Tahi), Industre Property Rua Limited (Rua) and Industre Property Finance Limited
(FinCo). SPL has rights to the net assets of these entities, and consequently, these entities are classified as a joint venture.
Tahi and Rua hold legal and beneficial ownership of certain properties (as denoted in note 3.2). FinCo is a funding vehicle established to obtain bank
borrowings and on-lend the funds to Tahi, Rua and Industre joint operation, which are financial guarantors in the funding arrangement. As at 30 September
2020, the value of the financial guarantee was nil.
Tahi and Rua are eligible and have elected to be multi-rate PIEs of which the income tax liability arises to the investors. Accordingly, SPL recognises current
and deferred tax as part of its taxes in note 7.1 (rather than as part of the investment in the joint venture).

6.5 Discontinued operations
Industrial investment properties were considered a major portfolio (sector) of SPL’s operations and were distinguished operationally and for financial
purposes from the other sectors. Discontinued operations refer to a core part of an entity’s operation that has been divested.
The financial performance and cash flow information for the discontinued operations are for the period ended 30 June 2020 (30 Sep 20 column) and the
six months ended 30 September 2019.
Only JPMAM special purpose vehicle’s participating interest has been treated as discontinued in respect of the joint operation as SPL retained a partial
direct ownership interest in the properties. 100% of the Industre joint venture has been treated as discontinued.

properties, starting in April 2020 for SPL. This is estimated to provide a reduction in current tax to SPL of approximately $1.1 million for the year ending
31 March 2021, excluding depreciation deductions on any investment property acquisitions from 1 April 2020.

On 2 September 2020, SPL acquired an office building at 34 Shortland Street, Auckland. Stride’s head office is located in this building and the value
attributable to this floor of $5.7 million has been recognised as property, plant and equipment.
7.5 Contingent liabilities

7.6 Subsequent events
On 19 November 2020, SPL declared unconditional an agreement to acquire the property at 215 Lambton Quay, Wellington, for $84.5m. Settlement is
expected to occur on 30 November 2020.
On 24 November 2020, SPL entered into a conditional agreement to acquire the investment property at 20 Customhouse Quay, Wellington, for $228 million.
This agreement is conditional upon completion of due diligence and successful completion of the $180 million placement announced on 25 November 2020.
In connection with this acquisition, Stride announced on 25 November 2020 that it is launching a capital raise, comprising a placement for $180 million

acquisition of 215 Lambton Quay, Wellington. SPL has also signed a commitment letter for an additional $100 million three year debt facility to support growth
of the office and retail portfolios. This facility will become available subject to the settlement of 20 Customhouse Quay and finalisation of facility documentation.

Independent auditor’s review report
To the shareholders of Stride Property Group
Report on the consolidated interim financial statements
Our conclusion
We have reviewed the consolidated interim financial statements of Stride Property Group, which consists of Stride Property Limited (SPL) and Stride
Investment Management Limited (SIML) (together “Stride”) on pages 24 to 51 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 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 the accompanying consolidated interim financial statements do not
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Stride as at 30 September 2020, and its financial performance and cash flows for the 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).
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 consolidated interim financial statements section of our report.
We are independent of Stride 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 Stride in the areas of assurance services for Stride over tenancy marketing and operating expenses. The provision of these other services has not
impaired our independence.
Emphasis of matter – material uncertainty related to investment property
As discussed in note 1.5 and note 3.2 of the consolidated interim financial statements, the independent registered valuers have included a material valuation
uncertainty clause in five of their valuation reports which equates to $288.45 million or 40% of the total investment property value of $720.6 million. This
clause highlights that less certainty, and consequently a higher degree of caution, should be attached to the point estimate valuation as a result of the
COVID-19 pandemic. This represents an increase in the significant estimation uncertainty in the valuation of investment property. Our opinion is not modified in
respect of this matter.
Directors responsibility for the consolidated interim financial statements
The Directors of SPL and SIML respectively are responsible on behalf of Stride for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated interim financial
statements in accordance with 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 consolidated interim financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor’s responsibility for the review of the consolidated interim financial statements
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the consolidated 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 consolidated 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 consolidated 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 consolidated interim financial statements.
Who we report to
This report is made solely to the shareholders of SPL and SIML, as a body. Our review work has been undertaken so that we might state to the shareholders of
SPL and SIML those matters which we are required to state to them in our review report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do
not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than Stride and the shareholders of SPL and SIML, as a body, for our review procedures, for this report, or
for the conclusion we have formed.
The engagement partner on the review resulting in this independent auditor’s review report is Karen Shires.

Stride’s strategy is to invest in places with enduring demand, which attracts strong demand in all market
conditions. This supports our strategy of establishing a group of investment management products (or Stride
Products) in specific commercial property sectors to provide growth in our investment management business
Over time, Stride Property Limited (SPL) will hold an interest in each Stride Product that is developed and
which focuses on a specific sector or sectors, with the Stride Products managed by Stride Investment
Management Limited (SIML). SPL and SIML together form the stapled group, Stride Property Group (Stride)
Stride will:
•Build portfolios of assets within SPL that can be used to establish new sector-specific investment
management products, with SPL taking a cornerstone interest
•Continue to support and grow our existing products, Investore, Diversified and the latest product, Industre
Property Joint Venture
•Evaluate opportunities in markets adjacent to core commercial property sectors
Stride’s strategy is built
on four strategic pillars:

SPL’s property interests
•Stride’s strategy is to establish a group of Products in specific commercial property sectors to provide growth in its investment management business.
SPL will continue to take an ownership interest in each of the Stride Products. SPL’s property interests comprise a combination of SPL’s directly-held
investment properties, as well as indirect ownership through the interests SPL holds in the Stride Products: Investore, Industreand Diversified.
•When SPL’s directly held investment properties are combined with SPL’s look-through holdings in the other Stride Products, including its 62.4% holding in
Industre, its 18.8% holding in Investore and its 2.0% holding in Diversified, SPL’s $1.4b look-through portfolio
1
shows strong investment metrics, including
97.7% occupancy and a WALT of 7.2 years.
1.As at 30 September 2020 and includes committed developments and acquisitions. Committed developments and acquisitions include: (1) Stride: the acquisition of 215 Lambton Quay, Wellington (which is expected to settle on 30 November
2020), the acquisition of 20 Customhouse Quay, Wellington, which acquisition remains conditional on completion of due diligence and successful completion of the Placement announced today; and committed developments at 34 Shortland
Street, Auckland, and 22 The Terrace, Wellington; (2) Industre: the acquisition of 439 Rosebank Road, Auckland and committed developments and (3) Diversified: the committed development atQueensgate Shopping Centre. SPL’s look-
through holdings are calculated as 100% of SPL’s directly-held office and retail portfolio plus SPL’s percentage interest in theportfolio of each of the Stride Products, Investore, Industreand Diversified.
2.Stride’s revenue comprises SIML management fees and SPL revenue. SPL revenue comprises income derived from SPL’s directly-held property plus revenue derived from its interests in the Stride Products which is calculated based on net
Contract Rental on a look-through basis as at 30 September 2020 as if the acquisitions in footnote 1 had completed as at the date. Base management fees comprise estimated FY21 management fees from Stride Products (i.e. excluding fees
from SPL in relation to the office and retail portfolio) and exclude capex fees, planned maintenance fees, leasing fees, development fees, performance fees and other one-off or activity-based fees.

•Stride has worked hard to minimise the financial impact of
COVID-19 on its business, and based on rent abatement
arrangements agreed to date, as well as expected
performance for the remainder of FY21, Stride considers the
financial impact from COVID-19 will be lower than the
estimate stated in the FY20 Annual Report
•COVID-19 rental relief arrangements have been agreed
across approximately 81% of Stride’s office and retail
shopping centre portfolios. In many cases this has involved
providing rental abatement and deferrals in return for an
extension on the lease term or an early renewal of the lease,
resulting in a weighted average lease extension of 10 months
across all COVID-19 deals

Key risks
This section outlines the key risks which Stride has identified in connection with the Offer. Stride’s business activities are subject to a number of risks which may, individually or in
combination, affect the future operating and financial performance of Stride and the value of an investment in Stride. Investorsshould carefully consider, and make their own assessment
of, these risks, including the risk factors described below, before deciding whether to invest in stapled securities.
In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, extra caution should be taken when assessing the risks associated with an investment in Stride. Events relating to COVID-19 have resulted in
significant market volatility, including in the prices of securities trading on the NZX Main Board. It is not currently clearwhen these negative impacts will begin to abate. There is continuing
uncertainty as to the further impact of COVID-19, including in relation to the NZ Government response, work stoppages, lockdown,quarantines, travel restrictions and unemployment. Any
of these events and resulting fluctuations (as well as other factors) may adversely impact the market price of Stride’s stapled securities, impacting the price at which investors are able to
sell stapled securities, if at all.
This section does not set out all the risks related to an investment in Stride, including the inherent uncertainties as to the impact of COVID-19 noted above, and any other risks associated
with an investment in stapled securities and Stride’s business, and has been prepared without reference to your personal circumstances. Some risks may be unknown and other risks,
currently believed to be immaterial, could turn out to be material. You should seek independent advice before deciding whether to invest in stapled securities.
Key RiskDetails
Key risks relating to COVID-19
Stride’s assessmentof
COVID-19 impacts reflect
information known to Stride
but is not certain
•Stride and its tenants have been adversely impacted by COVID-19. Stride has provided an update on the expected impact of COVID-19 on its business
on page 22 of this presentation. This is based on the best information known by Stride as at the date of this presentation. However, due to a number of
factors, including many outside the control of Stride, the actual outcome could be better or worse than as set out in this presentation.
Arrears are higher than usual
•Some tenants have been slow to pay rent due to the impact of COVID-19, and accordingly Stride has an arrears balance that is higher than as at the
same time in 2019.
•While Stride has considered the likelihood of receipt of these arrears and has made an addtional provision in its interim consolidated financial statements
for the six months ended 30 September 2020 of $0.6m, there is no guarantee that this provision will be sufficient or that Stridewill be able to recover any
or all arrears owed to it.
•If tenants default under their leases and Stride is unable to recover arrears and the amount unable to be recovered is greater than the provision in the
interim consolidated financial statements for the six months to 30 September 2020, this could impact the future financial performance, including
Distributable Profit, of Stride.
•In addition, if tenants default in payment, Stride may not be able to replace those tenants on terms where Stride can achievethe same rental or lease
provisions, including tenure, with new tenants. Stride has also agreed with certain tenants to defer rent for certain periodsimpacted by COVID-19
lockdown restrictions, and is expecting to receive this deferred rent in FY21. However, if tenants fail to pay, this could impact Stride’s cash flow and
profitability.

Key risks (cont.)
Key RiskDetails
Key risks relating to COVID-19 (cont.)
Rent abatements affect financial
performance
•While many of Stride’s leases do not provide for a contractual right to abatement of rent where premises cannot be accessed, Stride has approached
each lease on a case by case basis. Stride has agreed rent abatements for periods impacted by COVID-19 lockdown restrictions with the significant
majority of its tenants.
•The current expected impact of COVID-19 on Stride’s gross rental income for FY21 is set out on page 22of this presentation. However, there is no
certainty that Stride’s expectation will be correct in relation to those arrangements that are yet to be agreed. In addition, if the New Zealand Government
imposes further lockdown restrictions for an extended period, Stride could be subject to additional rent abatement requests fromtenants, which could
further impact its gross rental income, thus impacting distributable profit.
Key risks relating to the portfolio
Stride is exposed to the retail
property market sector
•Stride directly owns two retail shopping centres, located in Auckland, and has a 50% interest in another retail shopping centre located in Johnsonville,
Wellington. In addition, Stride has an indirect exposure to further retail shopping centres due to its 2% ownership interest in Diversified and management
fee income from Diversified.
•Retail tenants are facing pressure on costs as they have reduced income and rising costs, including due to the increase in the minimum wage from 1
April 2021.
•In addition, the impact of COVID-19 has contributed to a reduction in foot traffic in some retail centres and may reduce consumer consumption and
discretionary spending. COVID-19 restrictions may also have increased consumers' preference to purchase online. This puts pressure on the total retail
store occupancy costs that retailers are willing to bear, which could result in potential vacancies and lower overall rental receipts for Stride.
Stride is exposed to the office
property market sector, and this
exposure is increasing
•Stride’s portfolio includes a number of office properties, and Stride’s portfolio concentration of office properties has beenincreasing due to acquisitions.
Stride is therefore exposed to market conditions for office properties.
•Recently there has been more office space available, including through tenants seeking to sub-lease their properties as they seek to reduce their leased
space. This may be because of more people working from home. There is a risk of these shifts becoming permanent, resulting in an overall and longer-
term reduction in demand for office space. While Stride seeks to manage this risk through the nature of the properties it owns and the tenants it targets
(often smaller tenants who have less ability to reduce their space needs), Stride may be impacted by changes in the market for office space, including
increased supply and reduced demand. This could result in lower effective rents, which could impact on Stride’s profitability.
•Following completion of the Acquisitions, Stride’s office portfolio will have a 75% weighting (by value) to the Wellington market. This results in
concentration risk, particularly risk of earthquakes, as well as exposure to demand changes in the Wellington region.

Key risks (cont.)
Key RiskDetails
Key risks relating to the portfolio (cont.)
Property valuation risk
•This presentation includes valuations of SPL’s portfolio as at 30 September 2020 as assessed by SPL's external independent valuers, which have
been reviewed by auditors, PwC and approved by the SPL Board. A higher degree of caution should be applied before relying on thevaluations given
the uncertain impacts of COVID-19.
•Valuations ascribed to any property are influenced by a number of factors including supply and demand for property, general property market
conditions, including prices of transactions in the market, and the ability to attract and implement economically viable rental arrangements.
•Property values may change if the underlying assumptions on which the property valuations are based differ in the future. DuetoCOVID-19, five of
Stride’s 30 September 2020 valuations have been reported on the basis of ‘material valuation uncertainty’, meaning less certainty and a higher degree
of caution should be applied. The remainder of the portfolio valuations contain a ‘market volatility/risk clause’ meaning a higher degree of risk applies to
valuations and the market price of property is subject to increased volatility due to the uncertainty surrounding the impact of COVID-19. These
warnings mean there is less certainty around the valuations and a greater degree of caution around the valuer's opinion of market value should be
applied than would normally be the case absent the impacts of COVID-19.
•As changes in valuations of investment properties are required to be reflected in Stride’s income statement, any decreases invalue will have a
negative impact on Stride’s income statement. A valuation fall could also impact the price at which Stride would be able to sellthe property in the
market (which may be significantly below the price paid for the property or current market values) and could affect Stride’s capacity to borrow or its
ability to comply with its banking covenants. In addition, while the independent valuations represent the best estimates of the independent valuers, they
may not reflect the actual price a property would realise if sold.
Other key risks relating to the business
Tax risks
•The New Zealand Government has introduced changes to support the economy during COVID-19, including reintroducing rules permitting tax
deductibility of depreciation on commercial buildings. This is currently expected to provide some financial benefit to StrideinFY21 and future years.
However, there is no certainty that this new depreciation allowance on commercial buildings will remain in place.
•Stride has the benefit of a binding tax ruling that enables SPL to retain its Portfolio Investment Entity (PIE) status, notwithstanding the stapled share
structure with SIML. This binding ruling was originally issued in 2016 and was renewed with effect from 1 April 2019 for a fiveyear term until 31 May
2024. Stride intends to seek further renewal of the binding tax ruling in the future but there is a risk that Inland Revenuemay refuse to renew it (and
challenge the PIE status of SPL after the binding ruling expires) or assert that the facts on which the binding ruling is based were not correct.
•There is also the risk that the New Zealand Government could change the applicable taxation law to prevent stapling of investments in a PIE to other
shares. Stride will continue to monitor compliance with conditions specified in its binding ruling and the statutory PIE eligibility requirements to
preserve its PIE tax status.

Key risks (cont.)
Key RiskDetails
Other key risks relating to the business (cont.)
Risk of changes in
environmental requirements
•More tenants are requiring sustainable environments, including buildings that have a specific Green Star or equivalent rating. Green Star is a rating system
administered in New Zealand by the New Zealand Green Building Council. Currently, only one of Stride’s office buildings is GreenStar rated. If Stride does
not evolve its office portfolio to include green building initiatives to meet tenant and market requirements, this could impact on the rent that Stride receives for
its buildings, impacting on profitability.
•In addition, the Government has proposed imposing more stringent carbon requirements for new buildings, and potentially existingbuildings, which could
impact the cost of building new buildings or renovating old buildings, if these proposals are implemented.
FY21 dividend guidance is
not guaranteed
•The Stride Boards have indicated that they expect to pay a combined cash dividend for SPL and SIML of 9.91 cents per share for the FY21 financial year.
•That view is based upon Stride’s dividend policy and its business plan and internal forecasts, taking into account the currentlyexpected effect on net rental
income and total expenses as a result of COVID-19.
•The Boards believe the assumptions underlying this guidance are reasonable given its discussions with tenants and contractualposition, but if there are
more lockdown restrictions imposed during FY21 or the actual impacts of COVID-19 on Stride and the economy are worse than currently anticipated, then
this could impact on Stride’s ability to pay a dividend.
•Dividends for FY21 or any other period are not certain, and dividends remain payable at the discretion of each Board. No return is guaranteed by Stride,
SPL, SIML, the SPL Board, the SIML Board, the Underwriter, or any other person.
Funding risks
Risks relating to debt funding
and interest rates
•Stride is reliant upon the support of its lenders. The ability of Stride to raise funds or refinance debt facilities on favourable terms, or at all, for future activities
is dependent on a number of factors including general economic, political, capital and credit market conditions. The inability of Stride to raise funds or
refinance debt facilities on favourable terms for future activities, or at all, could adversely affect its ability to acquireordevelop new properties. This risk is
exacerbated by COVID-19.
•Interest costs are one of Stride’s most significant expenses, with net finance expenses being approximately 28% of Stride’s net rental income in FY20.
Adverse fluctuations in interest rates or other changes in the cost of Stride’s funding, to the extent that they are not hedged or otherwise fixed, may impact
Stride’s earnings as well as asset values where there is an impact on property markets in which Stride operates.
•SPL’s banking facility requires that the borrowing group’s LVR not exceed 50% other than in limited, temporary circumstances.A number of events may
arise which negatively impact SPL’s LVR, including:
•a material fall in the valuation of SPL’s retail and office portfolio (see property valuation risk above);
•SPL needing to borrow to meet operational costs, including debt finance costs, in the event of further COVID-19 related restrictions adversely affecting
it or its tenants; and
•SPL being unable to divest assets at market value.

Key risks (cont.)
Key RiskDetails
Funding risks (cont.)
Risks relating to completion
of the Offer
•Failure to complete the Placement is likely to result in Stride being unable to satisfy the equity funding condition contained in the agreement to purchase
20 Customhouse Quay by the relevant condition date (8 December 2020). If this were to occur, and Stride was unable to secure alternative funding on
satisfactory terms, Stride would be unable to complete the acquisition of this property.
•In addition, Stride is obliged to complete the acquisition of Grant Thornton House irrespective of the outcome of the Placement or the SPP so in the event
that one or both of these components of the Offer are unsuccessful, Stride’s LVR will be higher than is set out in this presentation.
•To mitigate these risks, Stride has arranged for the Placement to be underwritten by Goldman Sachs New Zealand Limited. Stride has no reason to believe
that the Offer will not be successful.
