SHAREHOLDER UPDATE TO 30 JUNE 2021
Dear MCK Shareholders,
Although it is over a year since the last major national lockdowns which affected all of us, the memory
of what happened in 2020 is still fresh and while we are working towards our path to recovery, many
of the same things which affected us last year are things we still have to deal with.
The latest change in Alert Levels for Greater Wellington in June saw over nine hundred room nights
cancelled across our network, over half of which were for the Copthorne Hotel Wellington Oriental
Bay, and while the financial impact of those cancellations was not material to our overall financial
performance, it served as a reminder to us that COVID-19 continues to have a significant impact on our
employees and our revenue across the country.
The good news is that the work we have put in over the last twelve months to right-size and stabilize
our hotels is working. Although occupancy levels continue to be similar in 2021 to last year, we are
seeing some growth in the domestic corporate and conferences markets as confidence returns to both
market sectors and forward bookings for events are being made. Assuming that there are no major
alert level changes, we believe this trend will continue in the second half of the year and into 2022.
The eight week suspension of the Trans-Tasman Travel Bubble announced recently confirms that we
cannot depend on the Travel Bubble to be a totally reliable source of business. Our domestic markets
remain our primary market and for that reason, our promotions remain focused on New Zealand
travelers as we encourage them to visit regions they have either not explored before or have not been
to in a while.
It is clear that international long-haul travel is very unlikely until some time in 2022 and we have based
our planning on that basis. We continue to liaise with our international clients and agents ahead of the
time when border restrictions will be eased.
To our shareholders and stakeholders, we would like to thank you again for the support and positive
comments and feedback you have provided to our employees and about our hotels not only in 2021
but indeed over the past twelve months. We love hearing from you and we are very grateful for the
positivity as we slowly build back to where we were before.
Results summary
MCK as a group made an unaudited profit before tax and non-controlling interests of $41.36 million
for the six month period ended 30 June 2021 (2020: $26.26 million). The main contributors to these
results were sales of residential sections from our majority-owned subsidiary CDL Investments New
Zealand Limited which continues to trade strongly and the sale of the Copthorne Hotel Christchurch
Central land in May 2021. Four apartment sales at the Zenith Residences in Sydney settled during the
last six months also contributed to this result
MCK has therefore recorded a profit after income tax and non-controlling interests of $25.34 million
(2020: $34.09 million) on group revenue for the period of $98.36 million (2020: $84.74 million). Our
earnings per share for the period decreasing to 16.02 cents per share (2020: 21.55 cps) reflecting the

impact of last year’s one-off tax credit from the Government’s COVID-19 Business Continuity Package.
MCK’s Net Tangible Assets per share as at 30 June 2021 which was $4.86 per share (2020: $4.44
per share).
New Zealand Hotel Operations
For the first half of this year, MCK’s hotel operations made a pretax profit of $33,000 (2020: $3.69
million) excluding the one-off item from other income. EBITDA for the same period excluding the one-
off item from other income was $5.25 million (2020: $8.58 million). These results reflects the lack of
two months pre-COVID summer trading seen in 2020, the impact of not having the wage subsidy or
other Government support in this period and continued reliance on the domestic markets for business.
While the result might appear to be marginal, we believe that it is actually satisfactory given the
operational levels of occupancy seen during this period (2021: 40.5%; 2020: 42.7%) and also takes
into the account the impact of the short lockdown in February in Auckland and the change of alert
levels across New Zealand in February and in Wellington in June. Good occupancies in our regional
hotels are being seen but these positive signs need to be balanced with reduced occupancies in the
main centres and increased competition in resort locations.
Hotel operations and management in New Zealand will continue to be challenging for the foreseeable
future. Staff and skill shortages are the biggest issues facing the industry as a whole currently and how
to bridge the capacity and skills gap is a priority for MCK and other operators.
MCK continues to adopt a cautious and conservative approach to its use of resources and expenditure.
Financially, we remain sound with sufficient reserves and balance sheet strength to see out a change
in trading conditions should they occur.
As we announced in April, MCK issued injunction proceedings against the Waitangi National Trust
Board in relation to the renewal of its ground lease for the Copthorne Hotel & Resort Bay of Islands.
Matters relating to the renewal are still being discussed between the parties through their lawyers and
it is hoped that matters can be resolved without the need to proceed to arbitration.
Grand Millennium Auckland and M Social Auckland both continue to undertake managed isolation
facility business and are likely to do so for the remainder of this year. All staff working at both hotels
have been fully vaccinated and the deadline to comply set by the Government was met. We continue to
have a positive working relationship with the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment which
is the lead government agency for managed isolation and returnee feedback about their managed
isolation stay is for the most part very positive.
Refurbishment work on the public areas and one level of guest rooms commenced at Millennium Hotel
Queenstown and will be completed at the end of Q4 as part of the staged refurbishment of the hotel. A
partial reopening of the hotel was made on 22nd July. Work will also commence shortly at Millennium
Hotel Rotorua on a selected section of the hotel. Kingsgate Hotel Greymouth was closed in April ahead
of extensive demolition and refurbishment works which will see the hotel rebranded to Copthorne
standard when it reopens in Q4 2021.

CDL Investments New Zealand Limited (‘CDL’)
CDL has continued to trade positively in 2021 and recorded an unaudited operating profit after tax
for the six months ended 30 June 2021 of $20.75 million (2020: $13.74 million). Sales in Auckland,
Hamilton and Canterbury were recorded and CDL is on track better its 2020 results which will in turn
bolster MCK’s results as well.
Australia update:
We recorded four sales of apartments at the Zenith Residences, Sydney in the first half of the year. We
are aiming to sell additional apartments in the second half of the year and we are currently reviewing
our sales strategy as buyers are showing renewed interest in inner city apartments.
Outlook
As we said at the start of this update, there are positive signs as confidence returns to the markets
and we have reasons to be optimistic should the current trading environment continue. At our annual
meeting of shareholders, we stated that our focus was on positioning our operations to ensure that we
can take advantage of market growth wherever it arises and whenever it appears. Shareholders can
take heart that we are confident that we will be able to achieve this aim through the projects and other
initiatives we are undertaking this year.
However, the Alert Level Changes we have seen already in Auckland and Wellington so far could well
be repeated before the end of the year. While we hope that this will not be the case, the impact of
any significant change or even lockdown could well have a material bearing on any forecast revenue
or profit. While we remain confident that MCK still has sufficient resources to endure a period where
trading is not possible at some or all of its New Zealand hotels, we have factored in the potential
effects of such an event or events. We think this is a prudent approach to adopt until such time as
New Zealand’s international borders can be safely reopened and travel to and from New Zealand can
resume to pre-pandemic levels which will not be until some time in 2022 at the earliest.
We are therefore understandably cautious about making statements about the second half of this year
and about what we are forecasting for our year-end results presently. There remains a high degree of
uncertainty due to the pandemic and the Board will be monitoring MCK’s trading patterns, revenue and
profitability very closely during the coming months and will look to provide clearer guidance towards
the end of the calendar year.
In the meantime, we look forward to welcoming everyone to our hotels across the country whether it
is for leisure or business. You can be assured of a warm welcome and the very best hospitality we have
to offer wherever you choose to go.

4. Earnings per share
The basic earnings per share of 16.02 cents (30 June 2020: 21.55 cents) is based on the profit
attributable to ordinary shareholders of $25.34 million (30 June 2020: $34.09 million) and weighted
average number of ordinary shares and redeemable preference shares outstanding during the period
ended 30 June 2021 of 158,218,286 (30 June 2020: 158,218,286).
The redeemable preference shares are included in the computation of earnings per share as they
rank equally with ordinary shares in respect of distributions made by the Company except any
distribution in the case of liquidation.
The calculation of diluted earnings per share of 16.02 cents (30 June 2020: 21.55 cents) is the same
as basic earnings per share.

9. COVID-19 pandemic update
(a) Wage subsidy scheme
The Group has applied for and received $350 in respect of COVID-19 Short-term Absence payment for
an employee. This is the only government assistance received by the Group in the current period. In the
previous period, the Group applied for the Government’s Wage Subsidy Scheme on 27 March 2020 and
received a net sum of $6.70 million. The Group’s owned and managed hotels were eligible to apply as the
hotels suffered a decline of 41.9% in total revenues in March 2020 against the comparative period in 2019.
This amount covered a period of 12 weeks which ended on 21 June 2020.
The Group subsequently applied for the Wage Subsidy Extension and received a total of $1.82 million which
covers the period from 22 June to 16 August 2020. The Group’s owned and managed hotels were eligible
to apply for the Government’s Wage Subsidy Extension Scheme as the hotels suffered a decline of 58.7% in
total revenues in the 30 day period from 24 May to 23 June 2020 against the comparative period in 2019.
The wage subsidies were applied as a deduction against payroll costs in personnel expenses in accordance
with NZ IAS 20. The personnel expenses are included in cost of sales, administration expenses and other
expenses in the income statement.

(b) Tax changes
During March 2020, the Government released its Business Continuity Package in response to the economic
impact of COVID-19. Included in the Business Continuity Package (COVID-19 Response (Taxation and
Social Assistance Urgent Measure) Act 2020) was the reintroduction of tax depreciation on commercial
and industrial buildings. With effect from 1 January 2020, the Group is now able to depreciate, at 2.0%
diminishing value method, the core components of the hotel buildings previously depreciated at 0.0% for
tax purposes. As a result, the deferred tax liability is reduced by $20.06 million with a deferred tax credit
of the same amount booked into the profit and loss in the previous period.

the income statement except to the extent that it relates to items recognised directly in other comprehensive
income or equity, in which case it is recognised in other comprehensive income or equity.
(c) Property, Plant and Equipment
Due to the unprecedented nature of the trading conditions from the Alert Level 2, 3, and 4 lockdowns during
the first half of 2020, the Group’s hotel properties were subjected to an internal review for fair value at 30
June 2020. At that reporting date, there was market uncertainty with the COVID-19 pandemic surging
globally. The market was uncertain in regards to the recovery of tourism and accommodation sector and
was dependent on several factors which were then unknown and evolving at that time. These factors chiefly
were: the success of health bodies worldwide to control the pandemic; the recovery of economies in key
markets; the opening up of closed borders for international air travel; and the increase in domestic travel
after lockdowns.
Based on the internal review and in accordance with the Group’s accounting policies the respective
properties’ land and buildings were revalued to their fair value. At 30 June 2020, a total of $49.96 million
was deducted from the carrying values of land and buildings and the amount after tax was deducted from
the asset revaluation reserves in equity. Details of annual growth rates, pre-tax discount rates, and the
valuation methodology applied are disclosed in the previous interim financial statements.
Given that the entire portfolio of 14 hotel properties were subjected to an external professional valuation
at 31 December 2020, the next external and internal reviews based on the Group’s triennial cycle will be
required at the next reporting date.
10. Subsequent event
Subsequent to balance date, the Group settled the acquisition of 69.4 hectares of land at Havelock North.
