following periods at both Stride Property
and Morrison & Co and has been tasked
with accelerating the delivery of our
funds management strategy.
03.
Empower customer success
In order for Kiwi Property to be successful
over the long term, so too must our tenants.
This has never been more apparent than over
the past year when COVID-19 placed many
of our retailers and SMEs under significant
pressure. We have acted as a partner
through this period, helping to safeguard
their physical and financial wellbeing.
The support provided has evolved in step
with the pandemic, including providing rent
relief during the initial lockdown, assisting
stores to establish click and collect facilities
in the weeks that followed and implementing
best practice cleaning regimes.
Our commitment to empowering the
success of our tenants is not simply a
response to COVID-19 though. Given the
breadth of the company’s footprint we are
well placed to aggregate information and
services to create value for Kiwi Property
and its customers. While the company
is still early in its digital journey, we are
currently investing in this space and see
future potential to provide our tenants
with the data to make better decisions,
optimise their footprints and respond more
quickly to new trends. As our mixed-use
communities continue to develop and
evolve, digital will ultimately play a key
role in delivering connected customer
experiences and ensuring a frictionless
user journey for those working, playing
or even staying at our assets.
Sustainability
Sustainability has been a priority for
Kiwi Property for almost 20 years and today,
it is part of the company’s DNA. Through
a dedicated focus on emissions reduction
we have successfully cut our CO
2
output
and Northlands. Further details of this
activity are outlined in the CEO’s report.
There is little doubt the pandemic has
accelerated several key trends in the
property sector. Kiwi Property’s mixed-use
strategy puts the business in a strong
position to respond. A key example
can be found in the office segment,
where COVID-19 and the rise of remote
working has prompted some businesses
to re-evaluate their footprint. While a CBD
office rightly remains important for many
corporates, some others now also want
the flexibility to base employees at a
suburban location. Assets such as Sylvia
Park and LynnMall are ideally placed to
accommodate this ‘hub and spoke’ model,
enabling businesses to reduce costs and cut
employee commute times, while delivering
the culture and collaboration benefits
that only a physical office environment
can provide.
02.
Grow with third-party capital
Kiwi Property has a large and exciting
growth pipeline, including at Drury, where the
company’s 51 hectare site is set to become
the town centre for a thriving new community
that is expected to ultimately number around
60,000 people. This pipeline is a source
of significant competitive advantage and
will unlock value for our shareholders.
Funding the company’s exciting growth
plans will require an integrated capital
solution, including a likely combination
of funds management, asset recycling and
joint ventures, such as those we have with
Tainui Group Holdings at The Base and
now also Centre Place North. By leveraging
third-party capital, we will be in a strong
position to accelerate growth and create
additional revenue streams. To this end,
Steve Penney has been appointed to
the role of General Manager Funds
Management. He brings a wealth of
investment experience to the role,
Dear Shareholders,
COVID-19 has had a significant impact on
Kiwi Property and the world around us over
the past 12 months, causing widespread
disruption and accelerating the rate of
change in many parts of the economy.
As the year has progressed however,
New Zealanders have adapted, responding
to the pandemic with characteristically
Kiwi pragmatism and collective spirit.
The country’s low rate of infection, coupled
with significant Government intervention,
have enabled the retail and office property
sectors to perform better than initially
predicted. As lockdowns have become
more localised and shorter in duration the
economic climate has improved. So too has
Kiwi Property’s performance, contributing
to a solid result through the second half
of the 2021 financial year (FY21), in particular.
Despite the challenging environment,
the company is well placed to progress
important initiatives throughout the coming
year and beyond.
Delivering on strategy
Kiwi Property made important progress
on the delivery of its business strategy in
FY21, despite the impact of COVID-19. This
strategy is based on three core priorities:
01.
Intensify our mixed-use assets
Kiwi Property’s focus on creating mixed-use
communities has never been more relevant,
or important. The company’s large
landholdings at Sylvia Park, LynnMall,
The Base and Drury are ideally placed
to accommodate a broad range of uses,
including office, retail, and potentially
residential. By owning a group of assets
offering complementary economic
benefits, we increase income diversity
and encourage smoother returns. To this
end, we have also taken steps to reduce
the company’s regional retail exposure,
including initiating the sale of The Plaza

to be no less than 5.30 cents per share,
subject to the financial performance of
the company and barring material adverse
effects or unforeseen circumstances, such
as further COVID-19 related lockdowns.
Outlook
Kiwi Property enters FY22 with good
momentum and a clear focus on creating
value for our shareholders and other
stakeholders. The year ahead has the
potential to be decisive for the company,
as we advance the delivery of our strategy,
reduce our retail exposure and continue
on our journey to create mixed-use
spaces inspired by the people and places
of Aotearoa.
Thank you for your continued support.
Regards,
Mark Ford
Chair
by 60% compared to the 2012 baseline.
In 2020, Kiwi Property was given an ‘A’
rating by the Carbon Disclosure Project,
the only business in New Zealand to
achieve this milestone.
This year, we have taken another step
forward on our environmental, social and
governance (ESG) journey, with the launch
of our refreshed sustainability strategy
and our commitment to becoming net
carbon negative in our operations by
2030. Achieving this ambitious target
won’t be easy, but we believe strongly
that it’s the right thing to do. More
information about our sustainability
strategy and commitments is available
at kp.co.nz/sustainability
In March, we also launched our Sustainable
Debt Framework, enabling the company
to green its existing corporate bonds and
paving the way for us to issue additional
green bonds in the future. As a result,
we’ll be able to target new pools of capital,
including ESG funds and institutional
investors with a sustainability mandate.
More importantly though, it reflects a
broader commitment to embed sustainability
into all aspects of Kiwi Property’s
operations, from finance to development
and asset management.
Board update
Richard Didsbury will resign as a director
of Kiwi Property at the company’s next
annual meeting of shareholders, which
will take place in Auckland on 12 July 2021.
Richard jointly founded the company in
1992 and has been a member of the Board
for the past 28 years. In that time, he has
had a profound impact on Kiwi Property
and more than any other individual, has
shaped the company into what it is today.
On behalf of the Board I’d like to thank
him for his remarkable contribution to
Kiwi Property and wish him well for the
future. A search for Richard’s replacement
is currently underway.
Dividend
I am pleased to report that Kiwi Property
will pay a final cash dividend of 2.95 cents
per share for the six-month period ended
31 March 2021. Payment will be made on
24 June 2021. Kiwi Property’s total cash
dividend for FY21 amounts to 5.15 cents
per share, equivalent to 90% of Adjusted
Funds from Operations (AFFO).
We will provide AFFO guidance once
the sale of The Plaza and Northlands has
concluded, however based on current
projections, the FY22 dividend is expected

Daruma Sushi and Master Bao attracting
a loyal following among Auckland diners.
Elsewhere at Sylvia Park, high profile
international brands including JD Sports
and Culture Kings have announced they
will be opening their first New Zealand
stores in the centre’s new urban and
athleisure precinct, adjacent to Hoyts
cinemas. The centre is now home to
more than 270 stores and approximately
5,000 free carparks.
Mixed-use development
Sylvia Park’s evolution into a thriving
mixed-use town centre is set to take
another step forward in October 2021,
when construction of a new $63 million
office building gets underway at 3 Te Kehu
Way. The 7,450 square metre, six-storey
development will target a 6 Green Star
rating and has been designed with the
flexibility to accommodate a range
of tenants, including a specific focus
on health and medical services.
Following the success of ANZ Raranga
and the growing popularity of the ‘hub
and spoke’ workplace model, we are
attracting strong interest in office space
at our mixed-use assets including Sylvia
Park and LynnMall. We expect this trend
to continue, placing Kiwi Property in a
unique position to deliver the convenience,
amenities and links to public transport
sought by today’s office workers.
Centre Place North
At the start of April 2021, we announced
a 50:50 joint venture with Waikato-based
Tainui Group Holdings (TGH) covering
Centre Place North and a number of
adjacent properties in Hamilton’s central
business district, with a combined value of
approximately $71 million. The agreement
builds on the relationship that already
exists between Kiwi Property and TGH
at The Base, and paves the way for the
creation of a new mixed-use precinct
in Hamilton’s CBD. Plans are underway
for a new office tower adjacent to Centre
Place North, with potential for other uses
to be added in the future.
Importantly however, the final six months
of the financial year saw the company
exceed leasing projections and contain
rental abatements.
Balance sheet
Kiwi Property maintained a strong balance
sheet throughout FY21 and ended the year
with gearing of 31.2%, comfortably within
our self-imposed range of 25-35%. Since
the close of the financial year we have
refinanced $700 million of the company’s
bank debt facilities in order to take
advantage of favourable lending rates.
As a result of this activity, our weighted
average term of debt has improved to 3.5
years (on a 31 March 2021 pro-forma basis).
Portfolio rebalancing
As the Chair noted, Kiwi Property’s
future lies in the creation of mixed-use
communities at our large, strategic land
holdings. By diversifying our portfolio uses,
we will create a platform for accelerated
growth and help guard against shocks to
any particular asset class. With this in mind,
we stepped-up our portfolio rebalancing
programme in FY21, with the aim of
reducing our exposure to regional retail
and recycling capital to help fund our
growth pipeline. The Plaza was listed for
sale in October 2020, with Northlands
subsequently also taken to market. We are
currently in negotiations for both properties
and will provide an update on the outcome
of the transactions in due course. While
these assets are high-yielding, we believe
their sales will enable us to create greater
value for the company over the longer term.
Sylvia Park
The exciting $277 million Level 1 expansion
at Sylvia Park opened on 15 October 2020
and has performed well in the months
since. Customer favourites such as Sephora,
North Beach and Superdry have all opened
new flagship stores at the centre, helping
strengthen Sylvia Park’s already compelling
retail offering. In parallel, ‘The Terrace at
Sylvia Park’ dining precinct has exceeded
projections, with restaurants such as
Introduction
Despite the uncertainty caused by COVID-19
over the past 12 months, Kiwi Property has
remained resilient, guided by our mixed-use
strategy, which remains as relevant today as
it did before the pandemic. Throughout the
2021 financial year (FY21) we’ve continued
to put people first. This approach has
helped keep our employees, customers
and communities safe, and seen us act
as a partner to our tenants, supporting
them through the financial and operational
challenges caused by COVID-19.
While Kiwi Property did not escape the
impact of the pandemic, the decisive steps
taken to safeguard our tenants and balance
sheet helped the company end FY21 in
a robust position. As we enter the 2022
financial year (FY22), we are focused on
continuing this trajectory, driving further
growth and shareholder value.
Financial performance
Net profit after tax was $196.5 million in
FY21, up $383.2 million on the year before,
underpinned by growth in the fair value
of our assets, which were up $99.8 million
for the full year. Kiwi Property’s office
assets performed particularly strongly,
delivering a 10.2% fair value gain in FY21,
while mixed-use was up 1.5%. At 31 March
2021, our property portfolio was valued
at $3.3 billion.
Operating performance
While Kiwi Property’s net profit rose
in FY21, not all elements of our financial
performance avoided the COVID-19 related
headwinds. The cost of asset lockdowns
and the associated rent relief measures
contributed to a 7.1% reduction in net rental
income, which fell to $173.6 million for
the year. While down on the previous year,
it is necessary to consider these figures
within the context of the significant trading
restrictions faced by many of our tenants
in the first half of FY21.
The fall in Kiwi Property’s net rental
income led to a commensurate reduction
in operating profit before tax, which
decreased 10.3% to $116.3 million in FY21.
A N N U A L R E P O R T 2 0 2 11 3
Drury
Our plans to build a 51-hectare
master-planned community at Drury
made substantial progress in FY21.
As previously outlined, Kiwi Property
intends to create a thriving transport-
oriented development, featuring a mix
of residential, commercial and retail
assets, which will cater to the area’s
60,000 expected future inhabitants.
Reflecting the potential for our Drury
development to unlock housing, jobs
and support economic recovery, the
Minister for the Environment is currently
processing a Fast-track application for
the project under the COVID-19 Recovery
Act 2020. If successful, the application
could enable earthworks to begin at
Drury in FY22, up to three years ahead
of schedule. This acceleration of the project
timeline will help us unlock exciting new
opportunities for Kiwi Property and enable
us to create a dynamic new destination
for people to live, work and play, south
of Auckland.
Build to rent
Build to rent (BTR) accommodation
remains a potentially exciting opportunity
for Kiwi Property. With more than half
of Auckland adults now renting and
a well-documented housing shortage in
New Zealand, there is a growing demand
for quality long-term rental accommodation.
BTR has expanded rapidly in the United
States, United Kingdom and Australia, and
New Zealand has the potential to follow suit.
The asset class has a low correlation
to office and retail with lower volatility,
helping to further diversify earnings.
We are preparing development schemes
for BTR at Sylvia Park and LynnMall
and are currently working through the
consenting process for both projects.
Outlook
Kiwi Property started FY21 under the cloud
of COVID-19 and has experienced significant
disruption in the months since. While the
pandemic affected the company’s operating
performance, it also served to galvanise
our people and focus the business on
the delivery of our strategy.
We start the new financial year with
exciting prospects ahead of us, including
Drury, the new office tower at Sylvia Park
and potentially BTR. We are focused on
realising these and other opportunities
in FY22, with an ongoing commitment
to delivering for our stakeholders.

Clive Mackenzie

1Funds from operations (FFO) is an alternative non-GAAP performance measure used by Kiwi Property to assist investors in assessing the Company’s underlying operating
performance. FFO is a measure commonly used b
y real estate entities to describe their underlying and recurring earnings from operations. FFO does not have a standard
meaning prescribed by GAAP and therefore may not be comparable to information presented by other entities. FFO is calculated by Kiwi Property in accordance with the
Voluntary Best Practice Guidelines issued by the Property Council of Australia (the Guidelines). The reported FFO information has been extracted from the Company’s annual
consolidated financial statements which have been the subject of an audit pursuant to New Zealand Auditing Standards issued by the External Reporting Board. During the
2018 financial year, the Guidelines amended the method used to derive FFO to include the amortisation of leasing fees. Kiwi Property amended its FFO calculation from 2018
to reflect this change.
2Adjusted funds from operations (AFFO) is an alternative non-GAAP performance measure used by Kiwi Property. AFFO is a measure commonly used by real estate entities
to describe their underlying and recurring cash flows from operations. Broadly, AFFO adjusts FFO by deducting the cost of lease incentives, leasing fees, rental abatements
and annual maintenance capital expenditure for sustaining and maintaining existing space. AFFO does not have a standard meaning prescribed by GAAP and therefore may
not be comparable to information presented by other entities. AFFO is calculated by Kiwi Property in accordance with the Voluntary Best Practice Guidelines issued by the
Property Council of Australia (the Guidelines). The reported AFFO information has been extracted from the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements which have
been the subject of an audit pursuant to New Zealand Auditing Standards issued by the External Reporting Board.

.1 Reporting entity
The consolidated 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 1993 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 green 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 consolidated financial
statements have been prepared
in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Practice
(GAAP) and the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013. They
comply with New Zealand Equivalents to International Financial
Reporting Standards (NZ IFRS) and other guidance as issued
by the External Reporting Board, as appropriate to for
profit entities, and with International Financial Reporting
Standards (IFRS
).
The consolidated
financial statements have been prepared on
the basis the Group is a going concern.
The consolidated financial statements are prepared on the
basis of historical cost, except where otherwise
identified. The
functional and presentation currency used in the preparation of
the consolidated financial statements is New Zealand dollars.
Certain comparative
figures have been reclassified to accord
with current year presentation.
1.3 Significant changes during the year
The financial
position and performance of the Group was
affected by the following events and transactions during
the year:
COVID-19 global pandemic
In response to the COVID-19 global pandemic, New Zealand
entered a nationwide Alert Lev
el 4 lockdown on 26 March 2020.
During Alert Levels 3 and 4 the operations 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. Auckland experienced additional Alert Level 3
lockdowns in August 2020
, February 2021 and March 2021 and
tenants were again restricted to varying degrees.
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
). Additional relief was provided
for certain Auckland based tenants significantly impacted by
the return to Alert Level 3. Certain rental abatements have
been accounted for as lease modifications under NZ IFRS, with
the change in lease payments amortised over the remaining
terms of the leases, while other concessions have been
recognised directly as a charge to the Consolidated Statement
of Comprehensive Income. Rental abatements relating to the
COVID-19 global pandemic were $19.5 million on a cash basis,
with a charge to the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive
Income of $10.2 million for the year ended 31 March 2021. Rent
deferrals recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Financial
Position as at 31 March 2021 amounted to $1.7 million, exclusive
of GST.
Investment property
Following the decision by the Board to divest retail properties
from the inv
estment property portfolio, and the subsequent
receipt of offers for various properties, a new classification of
'investment properties held for sale' has been recognised as at
31 March 2021. As at 31 March 2021 the retail segment has been
remo
ved in alignment with the Group's strategy. Refer to note
3.2 for more information.
During the year ended 31 March 2021, the Group acquired
properties in Mount Wellington and Drury for a total of
$4.0 million.
1.4 Group structure
Controlled entities
The Company has the following wholly owned subsidiaries: Kiwi
P
roperty
Holdings Limited (KPHL), Kiwi Property Holdings No. 2
Limited (KPHL2), Kiwi Property Te Awa Limited (KPTAL), Sylvia
Park Business Centre Limited (SPBCL) and Kiwi Property Centre
Place Limited (KPCPL). SPBCL owns Sylvia Park and Sylvia Park
Lifestyle. KPHL2 owns the development land at Drury. KPTAL
owns the Group's 50% interest in The Base. KPCPL, incorporated
on 30 March 2021, will hold a 50% interest in The Centre Place
unincorporated joint
venture which was formed on 1 April 2021.
All other properties are owned by KPHL and SPBCL.
The Company has control ov
er the trust fund operated by Pacific
Custodians (New Zealand) Limited as trustee for the Company's
long-term incentive plan (for further details refer to note 3.6.4).
The trust fund is consolidated as part of the Group.
3 2K I
W I P R O P E R T Y
1.4 Group structure (continued)
Joint venture
The Group holds its 50% interest in The Base by way of an
unincorporated joint venture.
The Group has determined that its
interest constitutes a joint arrangement as the relevant decisions
about the property require the unanimous consent of both
parties. The joint arrangement has been classified as a joint
operation on the basis that the parties have direct rights to the
assets and obligations for the liabilities relating to their share
of the property in the normal course of business. The Group
recognises its share of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses
of the joint venture.
Principles of consolidation
The consolidated financial
statements include the Company and
the entities it controls up until the date control ceases. The
balances and effects of transactions between controlled entities
and the Company are eliminated in full.
1.5 New standards, amendments and
in
terpretations
There were no new accounting standards impacting the
consolidated financial
statements for the year ended
31 March 2021.
1.6 Key judgements and estimates
In the process of applying the Group's accounting policies, a
number of
judgements have been made and estimates of future
events applied. Judgements and estimates are found in the
following notes:
Note 2.3Tax expensePage
35
Note 3.1Provision for doubtful debtsPage 37
Note 3.2Investment propertiesPage 37
Note 3.4.2Interest rate derivativesPage 52
Note 3.6.4Share-based paymentsPage 57
1.7 Accounting policies
Accounting policies that summarise the measurement basis
used and are rele
v
ant to an understanding of the consolidated
financial statements are provided throughout the notes to the
consolidated financial statements. Other relevant policies are
provided as follows:
Measurement of fair values
The Group classifies
its fair value measurement using a fair
value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used
in making the measurements. The fair value hierarchy has the
following levels:
•
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for
identical assets or liabilities.
•
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Lev
el
1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly
(i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).
•
Level 3: Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on
observable market data (
unobservable inputs).
The carrying amount of all financial assets and liabilities is
equivalent to their fair v
alues apart from the fixed-rate green
bonds (refer to note 3.4.1 for further details on the fair value of the
fixed-rate green bonds).
Goods and Services Tax
The consolidated financial
statements have been prepared on
a Goods and Services Tax exclusive basis, with the exception
of receivables and payables which are inclusive of Goods and
Services Tax where relevant.
Government grants
The Group received
a government grant of $1.0 million under the
COVID-19 wage subsidy scheme in May 2020. The government
grant was accounted for under NZ IAS 20 - Accounting for
Government Grants and Disclosure of Government Assistance in
the financial statements for the six months ended 30 September
2020. The Group voluntarily repaid the grant in January 2021.

Recognition and measurement
The Group enters into property leases with tenants on its investment properties. The Group has determined that it retains all
significant risks and rewards of ownership of these properties and has therefore classified the leases as operating leases.
Rental income from those leases, including
fixed rental increases, is recognised on a straight-line basis over the term of
the lease.
Lease incentives offered to tenants as an inducement to enter into leases are capitalised to investment properties and then
amortised ov
er the term of the lease as a reduction of rental income. Rental abatements provided to tenants are also capitalised
to investment properties and amortised over the lease term as a reduction of rental income.

Recognition and measurement
Interest and finance charges
The interest and finance
charges on bank loans are expensed in the period in which they occur, other than associated
transaction costs, which are capitalised and amortised over the term of the facility to which they relate.
The interest expense on fixed-rate green bonds is recognised using the effective interest rate method.
To determine the amount of borrowing costs capitalised to inv

Recognition and measurement
Current tax
Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted
at balance date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.
D
eferred tax
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all taxable temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities
for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. For deferred tax liabilities or assets arising on
inv
estment property measured at fair value, it is assumed that the carrying amounts of investment property will be recovered
through sale (refer to note 3.3).
Imputation credits
The imputation credits available represent the balance of the imputation credit account at the end of the reporting period,
adjusted for imputation credits which will arise from the payment of the income tax liability.
Key estimates and assumptions: income tax
Deferred tax on depreciation
Deferred tax is provided in respect of depreciation expected to be recovered on the sale of investment properties at fair
v
alue.
Investment properties are valued each year by independent valuers. These values include an allocation of the valuation
between the land and building components. The calculation of deferred tax on depreciation recovered relies on this allocation
provided by the valuers.
The calculation of deferred tax on depreciation recov
ered also requires an assessment to be made of market values attributable
to fixtures and fittings. The market values of fixtures and fittings for significant properties have been assessed utilising
independent valuation advice and the remaining properties have been assessed with reference to previous transactional
evidence and their age and quality.
As part of the assistance package offered by the Government on 25 March 2020, depreciation allowances have been
re-introduced for commercial building structure
effective from 1 April 2020.
Depreciation recovered on the former PricewaterhouseCoopers Centre (PwC Centre), Christchurch
The impairment of the PwC Centre in the year ended 31 March 2012 (resulting from the 2010 and 2011 Canterbury earthquakes)
and the associated insurance reco
very 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 av
ailable for use by 31 March 2024. As at
31 March 2021, the Group continues to qualify for this relief and a deferred tax liability of $3.6 million has been provided (2020:
$4.2 million).

Recognition and measurement
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.
3.2 Investment properties
Recognition and measurement
Investment properties are properties held for long-term capital appreciation and to earn rentals.
Initial recognition - acquired properties
Investment properties are initially measured at cost, plus related costs of acquisition. Subsequent expenditure is capitalised to
the asset's carrying amount when it adds value to the asset and its cost can be measured.
Init
ial recognition - properties being developed
Investment properties also include properties that are being constructed or dev
eloped for future use as investment properties.
All costs directly associated with the purchase and construction of a property, and all subsequent capital expenditures for the
development qualifying as acquisition costs, are capitalised. Borrowing costs are capitalised if they are directly attributable to
the development.

W I P R O P E R T Y
3.2 Investment properties (continued)
Subsequent recognition
After initial recognition, investment properties are measured at fair value as determined by independent registered valuers.
In
v
estment properties under construction are carried at cost until it is possible to reliably determine their fair value, from which
point they are carried at fair value. Investment properties are valued at least annually and may not be valued by the same valuer
for more than three consecutive years.
Any gains or losses arising from changes in fair value
are recognised in profit or loss in the reporting period in which they arise.
Investment properties are classified as held for sale when they are actively marketed for sale and their carrying amount will be
recoverable principally through a sale transaction rather than continuing use. Investment properties held for sale are carried at
fair value. Where a contracted sale price is available, the investment property is carried at that value less associated costs for
seismic remediation or rental guarantees, this being the best indicator of fair value. Where no contracted price is available, the
fair value is determined by independent registered valuers.
Lease incentives
Lease incentives provided by the Group to lessees are included in the measurement of fair value of investment properties and
are treated as separate assets. Such assets are amortised on a straight-line basis ov
er the respective periods to which the lease
incentives apply.
Ground leases
While the majority of the Group’s investment portfolio is freehold, the Group has entered into several occupational ground
leases of properties or components of properties in its inv
estment portfolio to which NZ IFRS 16 applies. Lease liabilities are
initially measured as the present value of the remaining cash flows discounted at the 'incremental borrowing rate', being the
property yield for the properties with the benefit of the occupational ground leases. Property yield is used given the long term
nature of the leases. The cash flows relating to the ground leases are also included in the fair value of the investment properties
and therefore a gross up for the lease liability is recognised in the investment property balance at the amount equal to the
lease liability.
The Group is exposed to potential future increases in variable lease payments which are not included in lease liabilities until
they take effect. When this occurs a corresponding adjustment is made to the gross up of the lease liability in the investment
property balance.
Lease payments are allocated between principal and finance costs. The finance cost is charged to the Consolidated Statement
of Comprehensive
Income over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance
of the liability for each period.
Disposals
Investment properties are derecognised when they hav
e been disposed of. The net gain or loss on disposal is calculated as the
difference between the carrying amount of the investment property at the time of the disposal and the proceeds on disposal
and is included in profit or loss in the reporting period in which the disposal settled.

Key estimates and assumptions: valuation and fair value measurement of investment properties
Introduction
All of the Group's inv
estment properties have been determined to be Level 3 (2020: Level 3) in the fair value hierarchy because
all significant inputs that determine fair value are not based on observable market data. Refer to note 1.7 for further information
on the fair value hierarchy.
Valuation process
All investment properties were valued as at 31 March 2021 (and as at 31 March 2020). All valuations are prepared by independent
v
aluers who are members of the Group's valuation panel and members of the New Zealand Institute of Valuers.
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.
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.
A N N U A L R E P O R T 2 0 2 14 3
3
.2 Investment properties (continued)
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 abov
e. 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 at 31 March 2020 and at 30 September 2020 as the Level 1 development
was still in progress. Now the development is substantially complete, the residual approach has not been used as at
31 March 2021.
The v aluations 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 31 March 2021 the real estate markets to which the Group’s investment properties belong continued to be impacted by
market uncertainty caused by CO
VID-19.
The market 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 (inv
estment uncertainty).
Income uncertainty
The pandemic has impacted the income earning potential of the Group’s properties during the financial year. The Group leases
commercial accommodation
to a range of businesses from where they conduct their operations. Restrictions imposed by the
Government to combat the pandemic prevented certain businesses from operating out of their premises in the usual manner. In
response, the Group worked through a cost sharing programme with each affected tenant whereby the Group forgave a portion
of the rent payable by the tenant. In certain cases the Group also deferred rent payable. The percentage of rent forgiven, the
duration of the forgiveness period, and the deferral period (where applicable) were subject to negotiation between the Group
and the tenant. This programme had a negative impact on the Group’s income for the year ended 31 March 2021. Future income
may also be impacted as:
•
the underlying activity and profitability of many of the Group’s tenants may be affected by further restrictions which prevent
the
population from socialising or accessing goods and services to the extent they could before the pandemic, although the
combination of the Government’s pandemic management protocols and the eventual roll-out of an effective vaccination
programme ov
er time is expected to reduce the need for long-term restrictions, and therefore the need for further cost
sharing measures of the same scale.
•
border restrictions into New Zealand mean businesses that rely on travel and tourism will continue to be
negatively impacted.

3.2 Investment properties (continued)
Investment uncertainty
Valuation uncertainty during the
financial
year also arose from an inactive property investment market. Investment market
participants were not able to conduct normal business activities during Alert Levels 3 and 4. Additionally, many large
investors are domiciled offshore and travel restrictions prevent them from physically inspecting assets and undertaking typical
due diligence. An inactive market means a lack of transactional evidence demonstrating current market pricing. In these
circumstances the only inputs and metrics available to reliably estimate fair value relate to the market before the event occurred
and the impact of the event on prices cannot be known until the market stabilises.
Valuation uncertainty
The Group’s valuers have noted the difficulty in undertaking valuations as a result of income and investment uncertainty and
accordingly valuations for the portfolio at
31 March 2020 and 30 September 2020 contained Material Valuation Uncertainty
statements as recommended by The New Zealand Institute of Valuers to highlight the difficulties in undertaking valuations in
the market prevailing at the time. This implies the valuations were current at the date of the valuation only and that less certainty
and a higher degree of caution should be attached to the valuation. In addition, it was recommended that the valuations should
be kept under frequent review as the assessed value may change significantly and unexpectedly over a relatively short period
of time.
More recently, there has been increased transactional activity across some property sectors. This has enabled valuers of
properties within these sectors to conclude valuations
with a greater degree of certainty and consequently remove the Material
Valuation Uncertainty clauses from the valuations for these assets. Notwithstanding, these valuations still include downgraded
statements pertaining to market volatility, elevated risk and uncertainty suggesting that a higher degree of caution should still
be exercised when relying upon the valuations.
Investment uncertainty remains for some assets as there hav
e been no transactions of scale in the retail market. Valuations for
Sylvia Park, The Base, Centre Place North, The Plaza and Northlands at 31 March 2021 continue to contain Material Valuation
Uncertainty statements. In the absence of relevant market evidence, the valuers have adjusted valuation inputs and estimates
to reflect the impact of the pandemic on investment property value. The valuers have tended to place greater emphasis on the
discounted cash flow approach as this methodology allows them to more explicitly model assumptions and events that are not
expected to prevail long into the future.
Until investment property values can be demonstrated to have stabilised post COVID-19, the Group intends to more closely
monitor the inv
estment markets to determine if more frequent valuation updates need to be obtained.
Impact on values at 31 March 2021
To reflect the impact of the pandemic on inv
estment 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 2020 although the quantum of the deductions is less as at 31 March 2021,
with the Alert Level 4 lockdown period having now passed. At 31 March 2020 the valuers also expanded capitalisation and
discount rates due to the greater market uncertainty. At 31 March 2021, capitalisation and discount rates contracted with the
lesser uncertainty, however these are not back to pre-pandemic levels.
For the year ended 31 March 2021 the Group reported a fair value gain of $99.9 million ($99.8 million after accounting for the
gross up of lease liabilities
).

Seismic uncertainty
The Group is committed to upgrading the seismic resilience of its assets to appropriate New Building Standards (NBS). Initial
seismic assessments (ISA
)
have been undertaken across most of the Group’s assets excluding those which have been recently
constructed and therefore deemed to have met current building code. Where the ISA of a building is below acceptable NBS
standards, the Group will generally procure a detailed seismic assessment (DSA) to more accurately verify the NBS rating and
assist in the design of remediation solutions to increase the NBS to acceptable levels.
The valuations for certain Group assets therefore contain deductions for costs associated with identified seismic remediation
works. The
cost deductions are based on quantity surveyor assessments with additional allowances for professional fees and
other associated costs. In some instances, valuers add additional allowances for profit and risk.
Cost assessments for seismic works contain some uncertainty. The level of accuracy of design solutions and cost estimates
can vary as the design and remediation process progresses. Initially, estimates may be based on structural plans of a building
which can sometimes be found to be inaccurate once more intrusive building investigations are carried out. Therefore, costs
associated with current or imminent remediation works will be more accurate than those for a project in the early phases of
investigation or planning.
Valuation inputs
A valuation is determined based on a range of unobservable inputs. These are unobservable as they are not freely available or
explicit in the marketplace but rather analysed from transactional data that has taken place in similar market circumstances to
that prev
ailing at the date of valuation. Refer to note 1.7 for further information on the fair value hierarchy.
The Group’s inv
estment property values contain unobservable inputs in determining fair value, some of which can be described
as ‘key unobservable inputs’ where significant judgement is applied in determining the input and a change to any one of these
inputs could significantly alter the fair value of an investment property.
Key unobservable inputs are the capitalisation rate, discount rate, terminal capitalisation rate, market rent and growth rates.
The table on the following page sets out these key unobservable
inputs and the ranges adopted by the valuers across the various
properties making up the Group’s mixed-use and office portfolios. The retail portfolio has been excluded in the current year in
alignment with the Group's strategy.
The impact of COVID-19 has been partially reversed and can be seen in the analysis below through the general strengthening
in metrics from 2020 to 2021. This is mainly evident through the capitalisation rate and discount rates metrics, which ha
ve
contracted (decreased), and the growth rates, which have expanded (increased), having an effect of increasing the fair value.
The lower end of the growth rate range for the mixed-use portfolio can still be seen to be negative. These metrics indicate a
range across all assets in that portfolio, so don’t affect all properties, and typically relate to the early year or years of the cash
flow so don’t continue across the full discounted cash flow horizon.

Valuation sensitivity
A sensitivity analysis that shows how a change to capitalisation and discount rates affects the value of the Group’s portfolios is
pro
vided below. 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
below assesses each of these inputs in isolation and assumes all other inputs are held constant.

3.2 Investment properties (continued)
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.
The following table explains the key inputs used to measure fair value for investment properties.
Valuation techniques
Income capitalisation approachA valuation technique which determines fair value by capitalising a property's core net income at
an appropriate, market derived rate of return with subsequent capital adjustments for near-term
e
vents, typically including letting up allowances, capital expenditure and the difference between
contract and market rentals.
Discounted cash flow
approach
A valuation technique which requires explicit assumptions to be made regarding the prospective
income and expenses of a property ov
er an assumed holding period, typically 10 years. The
assessed cash flows are discounted to present value at an appropriate, market-derived discount
rate to determine fair value.
Residual approachA valuation technique used primarily for property which is undergoing, or is expected to
undergo, rede
velopment. Fair value is determined through the estimation of a gross realisation on
completion of the redevelopment with deductions made for all costs associated with converting
the property to its end use including finance costs and a typical profit margin for risks assumed by
the developer.
Unobservable inputs within the income capitalisation approach
Gross market rentThe annual amount for which a tenancy within a property is expected to achiev
e under a new arm's
length leasing transaction, including a fair share of property operating expenses.
Core capitalisation rateThe rate of return, determined through analysis of comparable market-related sales transactions,
which is applied to a property's core net income to derive v
alue.
Other income capitalisation rateThe rate of return which is applied to other, typically variable
or uncontracted, sources of property
income to derive value and that is assessed with consideration to the risks in achieving each
income source.
Unobservable inputs within the discounted cash flow approach
Discount rateThe rate, determined through analysis of comparable market-related sales transactions that is
applied to a property's future net cash flows
to convert those cash flows into a present value.
Terminal capitalisation rateThe rate which is applied to a property's core net income at the end of an assumed holding period
to derive an estimated future market v
alue.
Rental growth rateThe annual growth rate applied to market rents over an assumed holding period.

Recognition and measurement
Deferred tax is provided
for all taxable temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial
reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is
probable that future taxable profits will be available to utilise them. For deferred tax assets or liabilities arising on investment
property, it is assumed that the carrying amounts of investment property will be recovered through sale. Deferred tax is
disclosed on a net basis, as the deferred tax assets and the deferred tax liabilities relate to the same taxation authority.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each balance date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer
probable that sufficient
taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilised.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year when the asset is realised
or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws
) applicable at balance date.

Security
The bank loans and fixed-rate green bonds are secured by
way of a Global Security Deed (the Deed). Pursuant to the Deed, a security
interest has been granted over all of the assets of the Group. No mortgage has been granted over the Group's properties, however,
the Deed allows a mortgage to be granted if an event of default occurs.

3.4.2
Interest rate derivatives (continued)
Recognition and measurement
Interest rate derivative instruments are initially recognised at fair value on the date on which a derivative contract is entered
into and are subsequently re-measured to fair value
each balance date exclusive of accrued interest. Fair values at balance date
are calculated to be the present value of the estimated future cash flows of these instruments. Transaction costs are expensed
on initial recognition and recognised in profit or loss. Derivatives are carried as assets when their fair value is positive and as
liabilities when their fair value is negative.
The Group does not designate any derivatives into hedging relationships. Gains or losses arising from changes in fair value of
interest rate derivativ
es are recognised in profit or loss.
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
v
aluation
techniques classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy (2020: Level 2). Refer to note 1.7 for further information on
the fair value hierarchy. 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 31 March 2021 of between 0.35% for the 90-day BKBM and 1.97% for the 10-year swap
rate (2020: 0.49% and 0.93%, respectively).

3.4.3 Capital management
The Group's capital includes equity and interest bearing liabilities. The Group maintains a strong capital base to ensure investor,
creditor and market confidence and to sustain the Group's ongoing activities. The impact of the lev
el of capital on shareholder returns
and the need to maintain a balance between the higher returns that might be possible with greater gearing and the advantages and
security afforded by a sound capital position is managed by the Group. The Group is subject to the capital requirement imposed by the
Group's Senior Facilities Agreement governing its interest bearing liabilities which requires that total finance debt be maintained at no
more than 45% of the total tangible assets of the Group. However, the Group actively manages its debt to its internal treasury policy
which sets a target gearing range of 25% to 35%. The Group has complied with its Senior Facilities Agreement capital requirement
at all times throughout the year.
The Group actively manages liquidity risk to ensure that it is able to access sufficient funds on a timely basis to meet operational
expenses, capital and debt expiry commitments as and when they fall due. To enhance its access to a range of funding sources, the
Group has secured credit ratings from S&P Global Ratings. To minimise liquidity risk, the Group ensures that it maintains sufficient
capacity in its overall debt facilities to cover projected debt (current debt plus Board approved capital commitments), has ready
access to sufficient cash reserves or available debt drawdowns, and reliably forecasts its expected cash requirements. Further detail
on liquidity risk is provided in note 4.3.
Given the inherent uncertainty created by the COVID-19 global pandemic, the Board adopted a prudent approach to capital
management and
determined that no final dividend would be paid for the year ended 31 March 2020. Dividend payments resumed
with an interim dividend being paid for the half year ended 30 September 2020.
Following the decision that no final dividend be paid for the year ended 31 March 2020, the Group revised its dividend policy. Dividend
payments are now based on a range of factors, including with particular reference to the Group’s adjusted funds from operations
(
AFFO), which will be the primary basis on which dividend amounts are determined. AFFO is a non-GAAP performance measure used
by the Group to determine underlying and recurring cash flows from operations. AFFO is calculated with reference to the guidelines
established by the Property Council of Australia. In determining a dividend payment, the Group will have regard to, amongst other
things, the solvency requirements under the Companies Act 1993, its banking and green bond covenants and internal financing
targets, its future investment plans, current and forecast earnings, operating cash flows, and the economic climate and competitive
environment. Having regard to these matters, the Group will target a dividend payout ratio of approximately 90% to 100% of AFFO.
The Board also temporarily suspended all non-essential capital expenditure projects until the duration and financial impact of the
COVID-19 pandemic became more certain. The Board has subsequently approved a return to normal operations.
At balance date, the market capitalisation of the Group (being the 31 March 2021 closing share price, as quoted on the NZX Main
Board, multiplied by
the number of shares on issue) was below the carrying amount of the Group’s net assets and shareholders’ funds.
In considering the difference, the Group notes that 99% of total assets at 31 March 2021 are investment properties which are carried
at fair value as detailed in note 3.2.
Factors that may influence market capitalisation include, amongst other things:
•
Broader market and investor sentiment
•
Property market segment sentiment, particularly with regard to retail assets
•
Effect of leverage of debt funding and including corporate overheads
•
The le
vel of uncertainty due to the impact of COVID-19 and its impact on the New Zealand and global economies.
In the review of valuations and the considerations around fair value determined by the independent valuers (as disclosed in note 3.2),
and having considered the
influencing factors above, the Group considers the carrying amount of net assets is appropriate.

The Group operates a Dividend Reinvestment Plan (DRP) which allows eligible shareholders to elect to reinvest dividends in shares.
The Board, at its sole discretion, may suspend the DRP at any time and/or
apply a discount to which shares are issued under the DRP.
The DRP was suspended and did not apply to the interim dividend paid for the half year ended 30 September 2020.
The Board determined that no final cash dividend would be paid for the year ended 31 March 2020 (if declared this would have
ordinarily
occurred in May 2020). This decision was made after considering the inherent uncertainty surrounding the financial impact
of the COVID-19 pandemic occurring at and around balance date, and the desire to take a prudent approach to capital management.

Long-term incentive plans (LTI plans)
Performance Share Rights LTI Plan
In the financial
year ended 31 March 2020 the Company introduced a new LTI plan to replace the legacy plan for selected senior
employees. Currently both plans have tranches operating. Under the new LTI plan, participants are issued Performance Share Rights
(PSRs) for service periods of one, two and three years. The number of PSRs that can be exercised and converted into shares in the
Company depends on a mix of the Company's shareholder return relative to comparator entities and a return on capital employed
metric over a one year performance period. On vesting, the participant is entitled to receive one share upon the valid exercise of each
vested PSR they hold.
Legacy LTI Plan
The Company has previously operated a legacy LTI plan for selected senior employees, which has tranches that remain subject to
vesting.
Under the legacy LTI plan, ordinary shares in the Company were purchased on market by Pacific Custodians (New Zealand)
Limited (the LTI Trustee). Participants purchased shares from the LTI Trustee with funds lent to them by the Company. The number of
shares that vest depends on the Company's absolute total shareholder return as well as its shareholder return relative to comparator
entities. On vesting, the employee is provided a cash amount which must be used to repay the loan and the relevant number of shares
are then transferred to the participant.
Recognition and measurement
The fair value of the LTI plans at grant date is recognised over the vesting period of the plan as an employee entitlements
expense, with a corresponding increase in the share-based payments reserve.
The fair value is independently measured using
an appropriate option pricing model.

Key estimates and assumptions: fair value measurement of LTI plan
The fair value of the LTI plans have been determined using a Monte Carlo simulation to model a range of future share price
outcomes for the Company and comparator entities. The fair value at grant date and the measurement inputs used were
as follows:
P

The volatility and correlation measures were derived from measuring the standard deviation and correlation of returns for listed
entities in the S&P/NZX All Real Estate Index over a three-year period. The risk free rate was based on government bond yields
over the same period.
It has been assumed that participants will remain employed with the Company on the vesting date. Dividend assumptions are
based on projected dividend payments ov
er the vesting period.
The employee entitlements expense relating to the LTI plan for the year ended 31 March 2021 is $1,183,304 (2020: $955,565)
with a corresponding increase in the share-based payments reserve.
The unamortised fair value of the remaining shares in the
legacy LTI plan at 31 March 2021 is $nil (2020: $92,522) and the unamortised value of the remaining performance share rights
at 31 March 2021 is $594,130 (2020: $491,024).

W I P R O P E R T Y
In the normal course of business, the Group is exposed to a variety of financial risks. This section explains the Group's exposure to
financial risks, how these risks could affect the Group's financial performance and how they are managed.
The Group is exposed to the following financial risks through its use of financial instruments:
•
Interest rate risk
•
Credit risk
•
Liquidity risk
Financial instruments
The following items in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position are classified as financial instruments: cash and cash
equivalents,
trade and other receivables, trade and other payables, interest bearing liabilities and interest rate derivatives. All financial
instruments are recorded at amortised cost with the exception of interest rate derivatives, which are recorded at fair value through
profit or loss.
Risk management
The Board has overall responsibility for establishing and overseeing the Group's risk management framework. The Board has
established an audit and risk committee with responsibilities that include risk management, compliance and financial management
and control.
The Group has dev
eloped a risk management framework which guides management and the Board in the identification, assessment
and monitoring of new and existing risks. Management report to the audit and risk committee and the Board on relevant risks and the
controls and treatments of those risks.
In response to the uncertainty caused by the COVID-19 global pandemic, the Group has considered financial risk management and
any additional controls needed. These are discussed further in notes
4.2 and 4.3.
4.1 Interest rate risk
Nature of the risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that fluctuations in interest rates impact the Group's financial performance or the fair v
alue
of its holdings
of financial instruments.
Risk management
The Group adopts a policy of reducing its exposure to changes in interest rates by utilising interest rate derivatives to limit future
interest cost
volatility by exchanging floating rate interest obligations for fixed rate interest obligations or by exchanging fixed rate
interest obligations for floating rate interest obligations. The Group has established a treasury management group consisting of senior
management and external treasury advisors to review and set treasury strategy within the guidelines of its treasury policy.
Exposure
The Group's exposure to interest rate risk arises primarily from bank loans which are subject to floating interest rates. The weighted
av
erage interest rate, term to maturity of interest bearing liabilities and details of the interest rate derivatives utilised are set out in
note 3.4. The fair value of interest rate derivatives is impacted by changes in market interest rates.

4.2 Credit rate risk
Nature of the risk
Credit rate risk is the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in
financial
loss to the Group. The
Group incurs credit risk in the normal course of business from trade receivables and transactions with financial institutions.
Risk management
The risk associated with trade receivables is managed with a credit policy which includes performing credit evaluations on tenants
and imposing standard payment terms and the monitoring of aged debtors. Collateral is ob
tained where possible. The risk from
financial institutions is managed by only placing cash and deposits with high credit quality financial institutions.
Exposure
The carrying amounts of financial assets recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position best represent the Group's
maximum exposure to credit risk and are recognised net of any pro
vision for losses on these financial instruments.
The COVID-19 pandemic has increased credit rate risk from trade receivables and the Group continues to work with tenants most
vulnerable to
the impacts of the pandemic to agree rent relief and other measures where needed. This is expected to assist tenants
in resuming their business operations as quickly as possible and increase their ability to pay trade receivable balances owing to
the Group.
4.3 Liquidity risk
Nature of the risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due.
Risk management
The Group evaluates its liquidity requirements on an ongoing basis by continuously forecasting cash flows. The Group generates
sufficient
cash flows from its operating activities to meet its obligations arising from its financial liabilities and has bank facilities
available to cover potential shortfalls. The Group's approach to managing liquidity risk is to ensure it will always have sufficient
liquidity to meet its obligations when they fall due under both normal and stress conditions. The Group manages liquidity by
maintaining adequate committed credit facilities and spreading maturities in accordance with its treasury policy.

Independent auditor’s report
To the Shareholders of Kiwi Property Group Limited
Our opinion
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Kiwi Property Group Limited
(the Company), including its subsidiaries (the Group), present fairly, in all material respects, the
financial position of the Group as at 31 March 2021, its financial performance and its cash flows for the
year then ended in accordance with New Zealand Equivalents to International Financial Reporting
Standards (NZ IFRS) and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).
What we have audited
The Group's consolidated financial statements comprise:
● the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 March 2021;
● the consolidated statement of comprehensive income for the year then ended;
● the consolidated statement of changes in equity for the year then ended;
● the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended; and
● the notes to the consolidated financial statements, which include significant accounting policies
and other explanatory information.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (New Zealand) (ISAs
(NZ)) and International Standards on Auditing (ISAs). Our responsibilities under those standards are
further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements
section of our report.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis
for our opinion.
Independence
We are independent of the Group in accordance with Professional and Ethical Standard 1
International Code of Ethics for Assurance Practitioners (including International Independence
Standards) (New Zealand) (PES 1) issued by the New Zealand Auditing and Assurance Standards
Board and the International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including International
Independence Standards) issued by the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants (IESBA
Code), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements.
Our firm carries out other services for the Group in the areas of audits of special purpose financial
information in accordance with tenancy agreements, agreed upon procedures in respect of a specified
remuneration metric and an apportionment statement, and the benchmarking of remuneration. The
provision of these other services has not impaired our independence as auditor of the Group.
Key audit matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in
our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current year. These matters were addressed
in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our
opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Description of the key audit matter How our audit addressed the key audit matter
Valuation of investment properties
including material valuation uncertainty
arising from COVID-19
As disclosed in note 3.2 of the consolidated
financial statements, the Group's investment
properties comprise mixed-use, office and
other portfolios and, including assets classified
as held for sale, was valued at $3.3 billion as
at 31 March 2021.
The valuation of the Group's property portfolio
is inherently subjective and is given specific
audit focus and attention due to the existence
of significant estimation uncertainty. A minor
percentage difference in a single or multiple
input assumption could result in material
misstatement of the valuation.
The valuations were performed by
independent registered valuers who performed
their work in accordance with the International
Valuation Standards and the Australia and
New Zealand Property Institute Valuation and
Property Standards. The valuers are rotated
across the portfolio on a three-yearly cycle.
The Group has adopted the assessed values
determined by the valuers.
As disclosed in the consolidated financial
statements, at the 31 March 2021 valuation
date, the independent registered valuers have
included a material valuation uncertainty
clause in their reports for five properties
(totalling $1.7 billion in value) as an ongoing
result of the COVID-19 pandemic. This clause
highlights the difficulties in undertaking
valuations due to the absence of relevant
transactional evidence that demonstrates
current market pricing. Therefore, less
certainty and a higher degree of caution,
should be attached to the point estimate
valuation.
The valuations for the remaining properties
include a reference to market volatility and
uncertainty associated with COVID-19. This
reflects that, while there are still uncertainties,
such uncertainties have decreased since the
initial COVID-19 period and the uncertainty is
no longer considered material.
Given the subjectivity involved in determining
valuations for individual properties, including
alternative assumptions and valuation methods,
there is a range of values that could be
considered reasonable.
We considered the adequacy of the disclosures
made in note 3.2 to the consolidated financial
statements, Investment properties, which sets out
the key judgements and estimates. This note
explains that material estimation uncertainty
remains in the valuation of certain properties.
In assessing the valuation of investment
properties, we performed the following
procedures.
External valuations
We held discussions with management to
understand:
movements in the Group’s investment
property portfolio,
changes in the condition of each property,
the controls in place over the valuation
process, and
the impact that COVID 19 has had on the
Group’s investment property portfolio.
For all properties, the carrying value was agreed
to the external valuation reports and we held
discussions with the valuers. These discussions
included the impact that COVID-19 has had on
market activity and how the valuers had factored
this into their valuations.
Applying a risk-based approach, we read and
evaluated the valuations of specific properties.
The valuers confirmed that the valuation
approach for each property was in accordance
with accounting standards and suitable for use in
determining the carrying value of investment
properties at 31 March 2021.
We assessed the valuers' qualifications, expertise
and their objectivity and we found no evidence to
suggest that the objectivity of any valuer was
compromised in their performance of the
valuations.
We also considered whether or not there was bias
in determining individual valuations and found no
evidence of bias.
6 8K I
W I P R O P E R T Y
Description of the key audit matter How our audit addressed the key audit matter
In determining a property's valuation, two
approaches are generally used to determine
the fair value of an investment property: the
income capitalisation approach and the
discounted cash flow approach, to arrive at a
range of valuation outcomes from which the
valuers derive a point estimate.
The valuers take into account property specific
information such as the contracted tenancy
agreements and rental income earned by the
asset. They apply assumptions in relation to
capitalisation rates, discount rates and market
rent and the anticipated growth, based on
market data and transactions where available.
For properties that have development or
seismic work ongoing as at 31 March 2021,
the costs required to complete the works are
estimated by management and adjusted
against the value determined by the valuers
along with profit and risk and stabilisation
allowances.
Management verifies all major inputs to the
valuations, assesses property valuation
movements since prior year and interim and
holds discussions with the independent
valuers to assess the reasonableness of the
valuations, and communicates the results of
the process with the Directors.
For those assets classified as held for sale that
have a contractual offer accepted by the
Directors, the assets have been held at the
contracted sales price less any associated
costs for seismic remediation or rental
guarantees, which is considered fair value at
balance date.
We carried out procedures, on a sample basis, to
test whether property-specific information
supplied to the valuers by the Group reflected the
underlying property records held by the Group.
For the items tested, the information was
consistent.
Assumptions
Our work over the assumptions used in the
valuations focused on the largest properties in the
portfolio and those properties where the
assumptions used and/or year-on-year fair value
movement suggested a possible outlier versus
market data. We engaged our own in-house
valuation specialist to assess the methodologies
and critique and challenge, against market
evidence and current market conditions, the key
assumptions used by the valuers.
We obtained management’s estimates of costs on
the properties with significant development or
seismic works. We compared these estimates to
internal budgets developed by the Group’s project
team and submitted to the Directors for approval,
and to external quantity surveyors’ reports, where
available.
We concluded that the assumptions used in the
valuations, including adjustments made for the
impact of COVID-19, were supportable in light of
available and comparable market evidence.
Assets held for sale
The sales price and any associated costs for
seismic remediation or rental guarantees of
assets classified as held for sale that are under a
contractual offer have been agreed to the signed
sale and purchase agreements.

Materiality
Group
Scoping
Key Audit
Matters
Our audit approach
Overview
Overall group materiality: $5.8 million, which represents 5% of profit
before tax excluding the net fair value gain/(loss) on investment
properties and interest rate derivatives.
We chose profit before tax excluding valuation movements relating to
investment properties and interest rate derivatives as the benchmark
because, in our view, it is a benchmark against which the performance of
the Group is commonly measured by users.
Following our assessment of the risk of material misstatement, we
performed a full scope audit over the consolidated financial information of
the Group.
As reported above, we have one key audit matter, being:
● Valuation of investment properties including material valuation
uncertainty arising from COVID-19
As part of designing our audit, we determined materiality and assessed the risks of material
misstatement in the consolidated financial statements. In particular, we considered where
management made subjective judgements; for example, in respect of significant accounting estimates
that involved making assumptions and considering future events that are inherently uncertain. As in all
of our audits, we also addressed the risk of management override of internal controls, including among
other matters, consideration of whether there was evidence of bias that represented a risk of material
misstatement due to fraud.
Materiality
The scope of our audit was influenced by our application of materiality. An audit is designed to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material
misstatement. Misstatements may arise due to fraud or error. They are considered material if,
individually or in aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of
users taken on the basis of the consolidated financial statements.
Based on our professional judgement, we determined certain quantitative thresholds for materiality,
including the overall Group materiality for the consolidated financial statements as a whole as set out
above. These, together with qualitative considerations, helped us to determine the scope of our audit,
the nature, timing and extent of our audit procedures and to evaluate the effect of misstatements, both
individually and in aggregate, on the consolidated financial statements as a whole.
How we tailored our group audit scope
We tailored the scope of our audit in order to perform sufficient work to enable us to provide an
opinion on the consolidated financial statements as a whole, taking into account the structure of the
Group, the accounting processes and controls, and the industry in which the Group operates.
Other information
The Directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the
information included in the annual report but does not include the consolidated financial statements
and our auditor's report thereon.
Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we do
not express any form of audit opinion or assurance conclusion thereon.
7 0K I
W I P R O P E R T Y
In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the
other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent
with the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise
appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed on the other information
that we obtained prior to the date of this auditor’s report, we conclude that there is a material
misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in
this regard.
Responsibilities of the Directors for the consolidated financial statements
The Directors are responsible, on behalf of the Company, for the preparation and fair presentation of
the consolidated financial statements in accordance with NZ IFRS and IFRS, and for such internal
control as the Directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial
statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the Directors are responsible for assessing the
Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going
concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Directors either intend to liquidate
the Group or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial
statements, as a whole, are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to
issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance,
but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (NZ) and ISAs will always
detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are
considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence
the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements is
located at the External Reporting Board’s website at:
https://www.xrb.govt.nz/assurance-standards/auditors-responsibilities/audit-report-1/
This description forms part of our auditor’s report.

Corporate governance
7 4K I
W I P R O P E R T Y
We are committed to the highest standards of
c
or
porate governance.
Our corporate governance framework draws on principles,
guidelines, recommendations and requirements from a range
of sources including the NZX Listing Rules and NZX Corporate
Gov
ernance Code (the NZX Code). In addition, the Board has
approved policies and practices that aim to reflect best practice
corporate governance.
The overarching purpose of the NZX Code is to promote good
corporate governance. The NZX Code contains eight corporate
governance principles. For each principle, the NZX Code sets
out good practice recommendations.
There are a total of 33 recommendations.
NZX Code compliance
Kiwi Property has followed the recommendations set out
in the NZX Code for the year ended 31 March 2021 except,
to the extent set out in the Kiwi P
roperty FY21 Corporate
Go
vernance Statement, which is available on our website
kp.co.nz/about-us/corporate-governance.
This statement is current as at 31 March 2021 and has been
approved by the Board.
The corporate governance policies, practices and
processes that Kiwi Property adopted or followed
for the year ended
31 March 2021 are summarised,
or referred to, in the Kiwi Property FY21 Corporate
Governance Statement.
The following disclosures are required to be made in this
Annual Report by the NZX Listing Rules, the Companies
Act
1993 and other legislation, rules or disclosure regimes.
Director independence
Director independence is determined in accordance with
the requirements of the NZX Listing Rules. The Board has
determined that, as at 31 March 2021, all directors of
the Company were independent: Mary Jane Daly, Richard
Didsbury, Mark Ford, Jane F
reeman, Mark Powell and Simon
Shakesheff. This assessment is based on the fact that:
•
All directors are non-executive directors.
•
No director is currently, or within the last three years,
employed in an executive role by the Company, or any of
its subsidiaries, and there has not been a period of at least
three years between ceasing such employment and serving
on the Board.
•
No director currently, or within the last 12 months, holds a
senior role in a provider of material professional services to
the Company or any of its subsidiaries.
•
No director currently, or within the last three years, has a
material business relationship (e.g. as a supplier or customer)
with the Company or any of its subsidiaries.
•
No director currently is a substantial product holder
of the Company or a senior manager of, or person
otherwise associated with, a substantial product holder of
the Company.
•
No director currently, or within the last three years, has a
material contractual relationship with the Company or any of
its subsidiaries, other than as a director.
•
No director has close family ties with anyone in the
categories listed abov
e.
•
No director has been a director with the Company for a
length of time that may compromise independence.
The Board noted Richard Didsbury’s 28 year length of tenure
on the Board and that Jane Freeman had previously disclosed
her family connection to NZ Strong Construction. The Board
concluded that Richard Didsbury’s 28 year length of tenure on
the Board and Jane Freeman’s family connection to NZ Strong
Construction did not and does not influence, in a material way,
the capacity for each of those directors to bring an independent
view to decisions in relation to the Company, act in the best
interests of the Company, and represent the interests of the
Company’s financial product holders generally having regard
to the factors described in the NZX Code that may impact
director independence.

hort term incentive (STI)
The STI potential for our people has a component linked to the Company’s performance, team performance and personal
performance against specific goals.
Measures may change year on year to best driv
e
business objectives and performance. Incentives are set around the market median
for target performance, with potential for participants to earn more for premium performance.
Performance measures
Company performance
•
The Company performance measure is linked to the Company’s budgeted Operating Earnings before Interest and Tax
(Operating EBIT).
•
The scheme is designed to driv
e outperformance of the Operating EBIT metric.
•
The Board determines an annual Operating EBIT target that must be achieved before any incentive is paid.
•
Once this target is achieved, payment of the Company component commences at 50% and can increase to a maximum of 115%
depending on the level of Operating EBIT outperformance.
Team performance
•
Our executive employee's team performance portion is measured against the ‘one team goals’ which are aligned to strategy and
approv
ed by the Board for the performance measurement period.
•
Other employees' team performance portion is measured against a ‘plan on a page’ which feed into the ‘one team goals',
developed by the employee's team manager for the performance measurement period.
Individual performance
•
Our executive team's individual performance is measured against the performance of their team's ‘plan on a page’.
•
Other employees' individual performance are measured against the goals approved by the employee’s team manager.
•
Each employee’s individual performance measures are discussed and agreed between (as applicable) the Board, CEO and
managers (the 'Employee's Manager') with their direct report, in-line with the following principles:
•
Measures will be quantifiable, objective and able to be measured by existing systems/reporting in the business, and
•
All goals and performance indicators will be agreed at the start of the performance measurement period or as soon as
reasonably practicable following the start of the period.

The Company’s Performance
Share Rights scheme (PSR), entitles the participant to receive shares in the Company once vested and
exercised. The participant is entitled to receive one share upon the valid exercise of each Vested Share Right they hold.
A grant vests proportionately over a three year period, whereby one-third of the PSR grant has a one year Vesting Period, one-third
has a two year Vesting Period and one-third has a three year Vesting Period.
The vesting of PSRs is subject to the satisfaction of the component measures outlined in the table below, measured independently
of each other.

The ROCE target is set by the Board in conjunction with the budget approval process. ROCE is
calculated as adjusted funds from operations divided by
the weighted average contributed equity over
the Performance Period.
•
If the ROCE outcome meets a certain percentage of the target (i.e. 96%), 50% of this target component

Equal pay
As part of Kiwi Property’s commitment to diversity and inclusion (D&I) we acknowledge and address key D&I concepts including
Equal Employment
Opportunities, Equitable Pay, Flexibility & Work Life Balance, Accessibility, and Cultural / Rainbow Community
sensitivity & celebration. We are committed to follow these principles in all our daily activities including undertaking an annual equal
pay review to assess the impact of gender on the pay and participation of women in the workforce, and to ensure unconscious bias
does not impact remuneration decisions. Kiwi Property provides enhanced primary carer leave to parents by way of a salary top-up

Director remuneration
The directors’ remuneration is paid in the form of directors’ fees.
At the Company’s 2017 annual meeting, shareholders approved a total directors’ fee pool of $737,500 per annum. Following the
appointment of Simon Shakesheff as an independent director on 1 November 2019, the directors’ fee pool was increased, by operation
of
Listing Rule 2.11.3, to $834,000 plus GST (if any) per annum, for so long as there were seven directors. This increase did not require
shareholder approval, as it was made to enable the Company to pay the additional director remuneration not exceeding the average
amount then being paid to each of the other independent directors (other than the Chair). Whilst there was an effective increase in
the directors’ fee pool, there was no change to the allocation to each individual director.

Rationale for rebalancing
> Recycle capital to fund Kiwi
Property’s growth pipeline.
> Mixed-use expected to deliver
increased growth and lower risk.
> Proactive response to structural
headwinds and retail changes.

encourage valuation halo.
Sylvia Park: the next level
8
> Level 1 expansion has performed well since opening,
underpinned by robust sales across specialty stores and
‘The Terrace at Sylvia Park’ dining precinct.
> Flagship store openings continue to strengthen the
centre’s compelling retail offering including:
–Sephora
–Superdry
–North Beach
–Mecca (coming soon)

urban and athleisure precinct.

cents per share for the six-month period ended
31 March 2021.
> The total cash dividend for FY21 amounts to 5.15
cents per share, equivalent to 90% of AFFO.

reduced 12.5% to $89.4m.
> AFFO was affected by the cash impact of COVID-19 rent
relief, partially offset by lower lease incentives and
maintenance capex.
> Net profit after tax includes a net fair value gain on
investment properties of $99.8m.

Auckland centres were unable to trade
for approximately six weeks.

combined with the lockdown periods
contributed to a decrease in sales on the
previous year.

recorded in March 2020 has been partially reversed in
the current year.

FFO and AFFO per share
General note: FFO and AFFO cps are calculated using the weighted average number of shares for the period.
> FFO per share declined 5.4%, largely driven COVID-19
related costs and an increase in the weighted average
number of shares on issue, compared to the prior year.
> AFFO per share decreased 16.8%, also due to the
increased weighted average number of shares on issue,
coupled with the cash cost of COVID-19 rent abatements.
This was partially offset by a reduction in maintenance
capex during and immediately after lockdowns.
> The AFFO payout ratio is in line with the revised dividend
policy of paying out between 90% and 100% of AFFO.

> Sylvia Park and LynnMall were closed for
approximately 10 weeks of the year due to Alert
Level 3 and 4 lockdowns. Cinemas and travel
were particularly hard hit by impact of COVID-
19, causing a negative impact on sales across all
centres.
> In the last six months, the opening of Level 1 at
Sylvia Park featuring a two storey Farmers and
approximately 50 new stores has driven positive
growth in total sales.
> The last six months (with no lockdownimpact)
have been strong for The Base Te Awa across
most categories.
> Large format retail centres have performed well
in FY21, up 23.8%, driven by the post lockdown
focus on home improvement and increased

2.1Profit after tax
> Property revenue decreased 3.6%, driven
by the impact of COVID-19, partially
offset by higher rental income from a full
year of ANZ Raranga, and a part year for
Sylvia Park Level 1.
> The fair value on interest rate derivatives
swung from a loss in the prior year to a
gain in the current year, driven by an
increase in longer-dated interest rates.
> Property portfolio value increased,
partially reversing some of the
revaluation loss from FY20 that was
driven by uncertainties associated with

Kiwi Property announces FY21 annual results
•Net profit after tax: $196.5m (+$383.2m on pcp)
•Property fair value movement: +$99.8m (+3.1%)
•Net tangible assets per share: $1.36 cps (+10cps)

•Adjusted funds from operations: $89.4m (-12.5%)

•Full year dividend: 5.15 cps (2.95 cps final dividend)
Kiwi Property today announced its f inancial results for the year ended 31 March 2021
(FY21), recording a net profit after tax of $196.5 million, up $383.2 million on the year
prior, underpinned by growth in the value of its investment properties.
A stabilisation of t rading conditions in the second half of t he year contributed to a 3.1%
or $99.8
1
million increase in the fair value of the company’s property portfolio for FY21.
Kiwi Property’s office assets performed particularly strongly, delivering a 10.2% fair value
gain, while mixed-use was up 1.5%. The company’s property portfolio was valued at
$3.3 billion at 31 March 2021.
Despite the growth in net profit, Kiwi Property’s financial performance was adversely
impacted by COVID-19. The cost of asset lockdowns and the associated rent relief
measures contributed to a 7.1% reduction in net rental income, which decreased to
$173.6 million for the year. Operating profit before tax
2
was similarly affected, declining
10.3% to $116.3 million.
Kiwi Property Chief Executive Officer, Clive Mackenzie said: “Like many businesses,
Kiwi Property was affected by COVID-19 in the 2021 financial year, with the cost of
supporting our tenants, following early lockdowns in particular, causing a drag on
operating profit. Despite this, we ended the year in a robust position, with leasing
projections and rental abatements tracking be
tter than forecast.”
Balance sheet
Kiwi Property maintained a strong balance sheet throughout FY21 and ended the year
with gearing of 31.2%, comfortably within its self-imposed range of 25-35%. Since the
close of t he financial year, the company has refinanced $700 million of bank debt
facilities in order to take advantage of f avourable lending rates, resulting in an
increased weighted average debt term of 3.5 years (on a 31 March 2021 pro-forma
basis).
Portfolio rebalancing
Kiwi Property stepped-up its portfolio rebalancing programme in FY21, with the aim of
reducing the company’s exposure to traditional retail and recycling capital to help
2
fund its growth pipeline. The Plaza was listed for sale in October 2020, with Northlands
subsequently also taken to market. Negotiations are now underway for both assets, with
further updates to be provided in due course.
“Kiwi Property’s future lies in the creation of mixed-use communities at our large,
strategic landholdings. By diversifying our portfolio uses we intend to create a platform
for accelerated growth. Selling The Plaza and Northlands will enable us to down-weight
our retail footprint and provide the market with further clarity around our strategic
direction,” said Mr. Mackenzie.
Sylvia Park
Sylvia Park’s Level 1 expansion has performed well since its launch on 15 October 2020,
benefitting from the opening of flagship Sephora, North Beach and Superdry stores over
recent months. High profile retailers including JD Sports and Culture Kings have also now
been confirmed for the centre’s new urban and athleisure precinct adjacent to Hoyts
cinemas. Sylvia Park is home to 10 of New Zealand’s 11 favourite retailers, as well as 270
stores and 5,000 free carparks, the most of any shopping centre in the country
3
.
Mixed-use development
Construction of a second office building at Sylvia Park is scheduled to begin in October
2021, marking the next stage in the asset’s continued mixed-use evolution. Located at
3 Te Kehu Way, the $63 million, six-storey development will target a 6 Green Star rating
and has been designed in response to tenant feedback.
“COVID-19 has changed what a number of businesses want or need from their office
environment. While a CBD ‘hub’ remains important for many corporates, others are
telling us they also want the flexibility to base employees at a suburban ‘spoke’ office.
The convenience, amenity and public transport links offered by our mixed-use assets
make them ideally positioned to meet this requirement,” said Mr. Mackenzie.
Centre Place North
In March 2021, Kiwi Property announced the formation of a 50:50 joint venture with
Tainui Group Holdings (TGH) over Centre Place North and adjoining properties in
Hamilton’s central business district, with a combined value of approximately $71 million.
The agreement builds on the existing relationship between Kiwi Property and TGH and
paves the way for the creation of a mixed-use precinct in the heart of Hamilton’s CBD,
including a new office building currently under design.
Drury
The company’s plans for the development of a 51-hectare master-planned community
at Drury made substantial progress in FY21, with the Minister for the Environment
currently processing a Fast-track application for the project under the COVID-19
Recovery Act 2020. If successful, the application could enable earthworks to begin at
Drury in the 2022 financial year (FY22), up to three years ahead of schedule. This
acceleration of the project timeline will help Kiwi Property unlock housing and create
jobs in the Drury area.
Build to rent
Build to rent (BTR) accommodation remains a potentially exciting opportunity for
Kiwi Property. The asset class has a low correlation to office and retail with lower
3
volatility, helping to further diversify the company’s earnings. Development schemes
are being prepared for BTR at Sylvia Park and LynnMall, with the consenting process
underway for both projects.
Sustainability
The company made notable progress on its Environmental, Social and Governance
(ESG) journey in FY21, with the launch of a new sustainability strategy and commitment
to becoming net carbon negative in our operations by 2030. Kiwi Property’s focus on
emissions reduction delivered a 60% decrease in carbon output compared to the 2012
baseline and contributed to the company being awarded an ‘A’ rating by the Carbon
Disclosure Project, the only business in New Zealand to achieve this milestone.
Kiwi Property launched a Sustainable Debt Framework in March 2021, enabling the
company to green its existing corporate bonds and paving the way for it to issue
additional green bonds in the future.
Dividend
Kiwi Property will pay a final cash dividend of 2.95 cents per s hare for the six-month
period ended 31 March 2021. Payment will be made on 24 June 2021. Kiwi Property’s
total cash dividend for FY21 amounts to 5.15 cents per s hare, equivalent to 90% of
adjusted funds from operations
2
(AFFO). AFFO guidance for FY22 will be provided once
the sale of T he Plaza and Northlands has concluded, however based on current
projections, next year’s dividend is expected to be no less than 5.30 cents per share
4
.
Outlook
“Kiwi Property enters the new financial year with good momentum and a clear focus
on achieving our strategic priorities. We start FY22 with exciting prospects ahead of us,
including Drury, the new office tower at Sylvia Park and potentially BTR. We are focused
on realising these and other opportunities, with a continued commitment to creating
value for our stakeholders,” Mr. Mackenzie concluded.

Our portfolio is well diversified by tenant type and industry. Our 20 largest
tenants comprise respected companies, government departments
and successful retail chains. Collectively they occupy 52% of our portfolio
by area and contribute 42% of our portfolio gross income with a weighted
average lease expiry of 7.7 years.
Our weighted average lease expiry (WALE) indicates how long, on
average, our portfolio income is ‘locked-in’. Our portfolio WALE is
5.3 years, underpinned by our office portfolio which has a solid WALE
of 8.0 years with long-term leases in place across most of these assets.
Our mixed-use portfolio has a WALE of 4.0 years. Shorter WALEs on
retail properties are expected as this provides us the opportunity to keep
our mix fresh by constantly introducing new, on-trend retailers or concepts.
Our tenant
base is strong
and diverse.

LynnMall was New Zealand’s first shopping centre, having opened in 1963, and has been
delivering quality retail to Auckland’s western suburbs ever since. In 2015 we expanded
the centre to incorporate an eight-screen Reading Cinemas complex and ‘The Brickworks’
dining precinct. The centre provides a compelling and convenient shopping, dining and
entertainment destination in the developing town centre of New Lynn. LynnMall’s proximity
to public transport and ‘Metropolitan Centre’ zoning provides future potential to develop
the centre to a greater intensity, in line with our mixed-use vision.

Kia ora, sustainability has been a
focus for Kiwi Property for almost
20 years and today, it is part of the
company’s DNA. In that time, we’ve
driven significant improvements in
the environmental performance of
our property assets and achieved
a number of important milestones
in the process.
As our business strategy evolves to
increasingly centre on the creation of
mixed-use communities, it’s vital our
sustainability strategy does the same.
In late 2020, we undertook a comprehensive
review of our environmental and social
programmes to ensure they’re delivering
for our employees, tenants and partners.
We looked at the issues that matter most
to our stakeholders and compared them
to the areas that have the greatest impact
on our business. Through this process,
it became clear that we have a significant
opportunity to promote the wellbeing
of the people in and around our assets.
As a large property owner, developer and
manager, we are in a position to create
vibrant spaces that bring people together
and where everyone feels like they belong.
We have the opportunity to build property
assets that aren’t just sustainable, but foster
connection and enhance the wellbeing
of their inhabitants. These insights have
provided the foundation for our refreshed
2021-2025 sustainability strategy.
The new programme extends Kiwi Property’s
traditional emphasis on reducing our
environmental footprint and includes
Clive Mackenzie
Chief Executive Officer
a stronger focus on supporting and
empowering the communities in which
we operate. Importantly, that doesn’t mean
we’re any less committed to decreasing
our water, waste and energy consumption.
Instead, the broader remit reflects our
desire to make a difference in Aotearoa
New Zealand as we strive to bring
places to life.
The following pages provide a snapshot of
our 2021-2025 sustainability strategy, as well
as a selection of highlights from the past
year. It’s a deliberately concise document,
designed to provide a synopsis of what
we’re doing and where we’re heading. We’ll
continue to provide updates as we make
further progress on our strategic delivery,
until then please visit: kp.co.nz/sustainability

OUR APPROACH TO IDENTIFYING WHAT MATTERS
In 2020 we conducted a comprehensive materiality assessment, working
with an expert external agency to determine the key focus areas for our
sustainability strategy.
The material issues identified by this assessment articulate what matters
most for our stakeholders and our business success. An awareness of these
issues is central to identifying and addressing our key risks and opportunities.
The issues identified through our materiality assessment are mapped
on the matrix below. This graph indicates the relative importance of each
topic to our stakeholders, as well as the company’s ability to impact them.
While matters such as climate change and child poverty are extremely
important, Kiwi Property’s ability to deliver systemic change in these areas
is limited. Through the materiality assessment process, stakeholders have
consistently emphasised the company should focus its attention on issues
where it can make a real and authentic difference. This feedback has
informed our approach and is factored into matrix below.

Strategy
Refreshing our
sustainability
strategy.
We are committed to taking action today to help build a brighter future for Aotearoa
New Zealand. We believe strongly that this action must be focussed on issues that matter
to our stakeholders, are relevant and authentic to our business, and where we can make
a genuine impact. Through the materiality assessment outlined on the previous pages one
issue stood out as meeting all these criteria: wellbeing. It’s a big topic that means different
things to different people and in some ways, is hard to define. To us though it’s about
creating thriving places that are environmentally sustainable and where people feel
positive, connected and that they belong.
This central belief sits at the heart of Kiwi Property’s refreshed 2021-2025 sustainability
strategy, which builds on our efforts over the past 19 years to include a broader social agenda,
in keeping with our role as a developer and curator of mixed-use communities. The plan
sets out a clear vision for sustainability at Kiwi Property and is centred on three distinct,
yet interconnected pillars: Places, People and Partnerships, which are outlined below.
The strategy includes clearly defined targets and is aligned to seven specific UN Sustainable
Development Goals (SDGs) where we can have a particular impact, enabling our performance
to be effectively assessed. We will continue adding to these targets over time as new priorities
arise. As you would expect, Kiwi Property’s sustainability and business strategies are fully
integrated, reflecting our belief that the best way for our business to do well, is by doing
good. An Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) Board Committee has been established
to oversee our intentions and delivery in this space, supported by an ESG Leadership team
comprised of senior managers from across the business. Both groups meet regularly to discuss,
identify and respond to sustainability related issues and opportunities.
We’re committed to driving continuous improvement in our own environmental and social
performance, and working with our stakeholders to help them do the same. When it comes
to sustainability, we all have a role to play and we’re ready to do our part.

HOW WILL WE
ACHIEVE THIS?
Create spaces that promote wellbeing
Develop spaces that enhance the wellbeing of our people, tenants,
residents and customers.
Reduce our environmental footprint
Minimise our environmental impact, with a focus on emissions,
waste and water reduction.
Develop sustainable buildings
Design and construct environmentally sustainable properties.
Climate change is a major threat to New Zealand’s environment,
economy and communities. As one of the country’s largest property
companies, we believe we have a responsibility to lead from the front
on environmental sustainability, actively reducing our emissions profile
and working with our partners to decrease water, waste and energy use.
For our assets to be successful over the long term though it’s not
enough for them to have great sustainability credentials, they also
need to be great places to visit, work and potentially live. That’s why
we’re stepping up our focus on the ‘spaces between the buildings’,
with an emphasis on providing green precincts and a carefully
curated mix of wellbeing services.
OUR AMBITION
To create places that promote wellbeing and have
a positive environmental impact.
CARBON REDUCTION
GAINS TRACTION
Kiwi Property has been actively working to reduce its carbon footprint since 2012,
implementing a comprehensive programme to mitigate emissions across our asset portfolio.
Over the past nine years we have introduced a range of measures to decrease our power
consumption, including the installation of 12,000 LED lights, fine-tuning our building
operations and systems and implementing roof-top solar electricity generation
for our shopping centres common areas.
These steps have contributed to a significant reduction in the company’s emissions from
business activities, which were down 14% in 2020-2021 compared to the previous year
and 60% on the 2012 baseline. Our significant progress in this space contributed to the
company being awarded an ‘A’ rating by the internationally recognised Carbon Disclosure
Project, the only New Zealand company to achieve this milestone.
We have now set ourselves the goal of becoming net carbon negative in our operations
by 2030, 20 years ahead of the Government’s net zero target. Achieving this ambitious
milestone will require a concerted effort, but we strongly believe it’s the right thing to
do for Kiwi Property, our tenants, stakeholders and New Zealand as a whole. Our carbon
reduction programme will be a cornerstone of our sustainability strategy and we intend
to provide a detailed assessment of our performance, as well as our climate related
financial risks, in the company’s 2022 Annual Report.
SYLVIA PARK LEVEL
ONE EXPANSION
The expansion of Sylvia Park shopping centre in 2020 – during a global pandemic – provided
Kiwi Property with the opportunity to apply its proven sustainable design approach to create
an exciting new retail destination.
We took a former rooftop carpark and transformed it into 20,000 square metres of retail
space, featuring a range of measures specifically introduced to reduce the development’s
environmental footprint. First among these was the use of smart roof design techniques
that enabled high levels of daylight into the centre, while still blocking excessive glare.
The natural sunlight not only promotes an improved shopping experience for our
customers, it also enables us to decrease power consumption by reducing electric
lighting and heating requirements.
This focus on energy efficiency extended to the exterior roof of Level 1, where we continued
our approach of selecting light coloured roofing material to help reduce the temperature
of the building. As a result, we expect to cut air-conditioning usage, helping save
Kiwi Property money, while supporting our carbon reduction efforts.
With Auckland’s recent water shortage still top of mind, we took the opportunity to
significantly expand Sylvia Park’s existing rainwater harvesting systems, by optimising
the Level 1 roof for rainwater capture. This water is re-purposed for use in toilets at the
centre helping to reduce pressure on the city’s municipal water supplies. Despite the
disruptions and economic impact of the pandemic, Kiwi Property forged ahead with
the Level 1 expansion, which opened with all leasing space committed, highlighting
the centre’s appealing design and popularity as a premium shopping destination.
Our targets are designed to

HOW WILL WE
ACHIEVE THIS?
Foster wellbeing in our communities
Enable people to connect with each other.
Embrace diversity
Create a diverse, inclusive and equitable team, and an environment
where everyone belongs.
Enable our team to succeed
Promote employee wellbeing, engagement and resilience.
ACCESSIBLE FOR ALLAs one of the country’s leading shopping centre owners, we believe our properties should be
accessible to everyone. Not only is that the right thing to do, it’s also good business. By increasing
the appeal of our assets we attract more customers and drive sales for our tenants.
Kiwi Property has worked closely with Be.Lab (formerly Be.Accessible) for a number of years
to better understand and address the accessibility challenges faced by people with physical,
age-related and learning impairments, and other accessibility requirements. Through this
process we have made important changes to the design and operation of our properties,
making it easier for people to get in and around them. We’ve also reviewed lighting and
noise levels, improved signage and amended our websites to ensure they’re easy to read.
Another feature of Kiwi Property’s accessibility programme is the installation of an
adult changing room at The Base Shopping Centre, among the first of its kind in a retail
environment in New Zealand. This facility features equipment such as a hoist and sling
and is designed to support adults with special requirements. One in four New Zealanders
live with an access need, making rooms such as this increasingly important. We are working
on a plan to install a similar facility at Sylvia Park before the end of 2021.
As a result of our efforts to improve accessibility at our assets, Kiwi Property’s shopping
centres have now all achieved Be.Lab’s gold or platinum standard. Steps to achieve similar
ratings for our office portfolio are now underway.
RESPONDING TO
COVID-19
The arrival of COVID-19 in New Zealand in early 2020 required Kiwi Property to take
immediate action to keep our tenants, customers and employees safe. Although we are
a property business, it’s people who bring our assets to life. The pandemic placed many
of those people under immense pressure and threatened their health, their livelihoods
and their future. Our response to COVID-19 was shaped by a simple idea – put people first.
That meant acting as a partner rather than a landlord, supporting others to come through
the pandemic in good physical and financial health, ready for life in a post-COVID-19 world.
We delivered on this ideal in a number of ways, including implementing best-practice
cleaning regimes at our assets. New technology was launched at our shopping centres
to help measure and maintain social distancing. We developed digital content
for customers, showing them how to keep safe during the pandemic. And perhaps most
significantly, the company supported tenants by sharing a fair proportion of the financial
burden caused by the pandemic. These measures all carried a cost, but the short-term
financial impact is far outweighed by the long-term value that will be delivered by
maintaining a strong commercial ecosystem. Through these efforts we were able
to operate our assets effectively during more restrictive Alert Levels and safely welcome
people back once conditions had improved, enabling them to reconnect and re-engage
with their communities.
OUR TARGETS
Our people
•
Achieve 40:40:20 gender

Executive team by 2023.
•

With over 40 million customer visits to a Kiwi Property asset every
year, we are in a unique position to create places that bring people
together and promote wellbeing. As we do so, it’s vital that every
person feels they belong, regardless of who they are. Our aim
is for our assets and our business to be inclusive, accessible
and synonymous with diversity.
We are focused on building a workplace where our people feel valued
and empowered. This includes ensuring a good gender and ethnic
balance throughout the company and providing access to support
services, flexible working practices and best-practice parental leave.
We still have work to do, but we’re committed to doing the work
to get there.
OUR AMBITION
To create vibrant communities that bring people together
and where everyone feels they belong.

WORKING TOGETHER TO
ELECTRIFY TRANSPORT
Transport electrification is a key plank of New Zealand’s strategy to become a low carbon
economy. To help support this important transition we partnered with the Energy Efficiency
& Conservation Authority and Tesla to install 66 Type One, Type Two and Tesla EV-charging
stations at our shopping centres across the country. Working in conjunction with Tainui
Group Holdings, we also rolled out similar technology at The Base in Hamilton. Users of electric
vehicles can now charge their cars for free while they are at work, doing their shopping
or having a meal, providing a glimpse into the future of transport in New Zealand.
In addition, we collaborated with Big Street Bikers to install 35 free ‘Locky Docky’ e-bike
charging stations at our shopping centres and offices. Using innovative technology, these
stations solve two issues for e-bikers visiting our centres. Firstly, they provide a secure
charging facility that also prevents bike theft and secondly they include digital information
screens that show safe local bike routes.
Vehicle electrification will be integral to Aotearoa’s carbon reduction efforts in the short
to medium term. We’re proud to be playing our part to help New Zealanders make the switch
to a more sustainable future, while offering customers and tenants even more reasons to visit
our assets.
A COMPOSTING
SOLUTION
For some time, The Plaza in Palmerston North had been looking for an effective way
to sustainably dispose of organic waste produced at the shopping centre. After exploring
a number of potential options, the team at The Plaza approached the Palmerston North City
Council, with the idea of opening a municipal composting facility. Following several rounds
of discussions, the initiative launched at The Plaza in January 2021.
Food waste from The Plaza is sorted by the centre cleaning team, preventing incorrect
rubbish ending up in the compost stream. This material is then disposed of into two specially
designated 80 litre food waste bins and collected from the centre twice a week. During the
trial period 580kgs of clean food waste was diverted from landfill to the composting facility.
This amounts to around 62.28kgs per week or 3,239kgs per annum and is the equivalent
of saving 6,154kgs of CO
2
-e per year.
Following the programme’s successful first phase, plans are in place to extend the initiative
to include food scraps and waste generated by a number of food retailers at The Plaza.
A third phase is also anticipated, giving additional operators the opportunity to have
their compostable food service materials collected and disposed of.
The composting solution established at The Plaza highlights the potential for innovative
partnerships to address New Zealand’s environmental challenges. Collaborations such
as these will be a cornerstone of Kiwi Property’s 2021-2025 sustainability strategy.
The third pillar of our sustainability strategy is partnerships. We are
part of a large and interconnected stakeholder ecosystem and by
working in concert, we can have a far greater impact than any of
us could achieve alone. Through this partnership approach, we will
promote social and environmental change and help create a brighter
future for Aotearoa New Zealand. At a practical level, this could
involve providing education for our tenants, and other stakeholders,
and supporting them to realise their sustainability goals.
In other instances, we will be the student, leveraging the expertise our
partners have gained through implementing their own sustainability
programmes. As an immediate first step, we are enhancing our
procurement approach to increasingly account for environmental
and social considerations alongside traditional cost metrics. Going
forward, we want to work with vendors who are aligned to our vision.
OUR AMBITION
To connect and empower our partners to deliver social
and environmental change.
