Kiwi Property increases earnings guidance

Kiwi Property today increased its 2021 financial year AFFO
1
earnings guidance to
5.50 – 5.60 cents per share
2
, up from the 4.90 – 5.15 cents per share range forecast at
the half-year.
The revised guidance reflects stronger than anticipated trading conditions, with
Kiwi Property’s retailers performing ahead of expectations, despite COVID-19 related
disruptions. As a result, leasing outcomes and turnover rent have exceeded forecast,
while rental abatements and doubtful debt allowances are less than anticipated.
Kiwi Property CEO, Clive Mackenzie said:
“The arrival of COVID-19 brought widespread uncertainty to New Zealand, however
many parts of the retail sector continue to track ahead of predictions. In addition, our
office portfolio has remained very resilient to the impact of the pandemic. By working
closely with our tenants, we’ve been able to navigate the fallout from COVID-19, while
also delivering major projects such as the Sylvia Park Level 1 expansion ahead of
schedule.”
Kiwi Property’s full year results to 31 March 2021 are scheduled to be announced on
24 May 2021.
