Kiwi Property portfolio valuation update


Kiwi Property today announced the outcome of its draft property portfolio valuations,
delivering an expected fair value gain of $100 million (+3.1%) for the six months ending
31 March 2021. The Company’s mixed-use, office, retail and other properties will be
worth $3.3 billion following confirmation of the asset valuations at year-end.

Following the latest valuations, the overall fair value gain on Kiwi Property’s portfolio for
the 2021 financial year is approximately $110 million (including the $9.2 million uplift
recorded in the six months to 30 September 2020).

Chief Executive Officer, Clive Mackenzie said it was pleasing to see a rebound in
the Company’s asset values, following a stabilisation of trading conditions.

“While COVID-19 continues to impact the sector, the outlook is far more positive than it
was when valuations were last undertaken in September 2020, especially with the
vaccine rollout now underway. Encouragingly, recent transaction evidence suggests
investor confidence has returned to the property markets, allowing valuers to remove
‘material valuation uncertainty’ clauses across many of our assets.”

The draft valuations are expected to result in the following movements over the six-
month period ending 31 March 2021:

Mixed-use portfolio
Draft valuations show the Company’s mixed-use portfolio, which comprises Sylvia Park,
Sylvia Park Lifestyle, LynnMall and The Base, has experienced a fair value increase of
approximately 2.4% or $38 million to $1,623 million. The weighted average capitalisation
rate for these assets has firmed four basis points to 5.79%.

Office portfolio
Kiwi Property’s office portfolio proved the most resilient of the Company’s asset classes,
with draft valuations increasing approximately 5.4%, or $52 million, to $1,002 million. The
uplift is assisted by a 28 basis point capitalisation rate firming to 4.99%, with the
Company’s Auckland assets growing in value by 5.6%, and Wellington assets increasing
4.9%.

Retail portfolio
Kiwi Property’s retail portfolio experienced a fair value decline of approximately 1. 7% or
$8 million to $461 million, according to the draft valuations. The reduction in portfolio
value was generally driven by an increase in seismic-related capital expenditure and a
softening in market rents. On a positive note, the weighted average capitalisation rate
of the Company’s retail assets has firmed 30 basis points to 7.75%, assisted by stronger
than expected retail sales.

Other properties
Kiwi Property holds a portfolio of other properties, outside of its investment-grade assets,
including the Company’s Drury and Sylvia Park industrial holdings. This portfolio
recorded draft valuation growth of approximately 8.0%, or $18 million, to $245 million for
the period.

Overall portfolio
Following the draft valuations, the capitalisation rate of Kiwi Property’s investment
portfolio has firmed 18 basis points, from 6.00% to 5.82%, while net tangible asset
backing per share will increase by approximately six cents from $1.29, as at 30
September 2020, to $1.35.

The draft 31 March 2021 property valuations are determined by independent valuers
and are subject to external audit. They will be confirmed in the Company’s audited
financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2021, scheduled for release on
24 May 2021.
