Net property income grew 5.1% on strong

rent reviews, full period contribution of

acquisition income and lower rent

rebates, partially offset by disposals.

$0.8m in rental rebates was provided for

over the period, with no deferrals.

Interest expense was lower due to a

combination of lower overall debt levels

and higher capitalisedinterest.

The solid interim revaluation gain was

driven largely by continued cap rate

firming.

Market Insights
.38

Strong demand continues to drive

additional supply.

Limited land supply in Auckland and

Wellington puts pressure on land values,

rentals and encourages non-traditional

locations.

Rental growth continues.

Vacancy remains very low, with limited

speculative supply.

Covid-19 pandemic and supply chain

constraints have seen average size

demand increase.

INDUSTRIAL

Flexible working environments and

remote working models continue to drive

a disconnect between employment

growth and net absorption.

Changes in the way space is used

focusing on the environment becoming

a reason to be in the office.

Impact of Covid-19 has resulted in a

significant increase in space available

for sub-lease in A grade and prime

buildings in the Auckland market

Auckland rental growth impacted by

sublease vacancy and new supply.

Wellington continues to see solid

demand, with low vacancy for good

quality, well located space. There is a

shortage of large floor plate stock with

upward rental growth pressure resulting.

Premium and Grade A vacancy is

minimal.

OFFICE

Many retailers’ systems have been shown

to be inadequate to cope with higher

online sales volumes.

Structural change in retail property will

show increased focus on showroom and

semi-industrial facilities.

Impact of additional development will

be felt, particularly in secondary

locations.

Large format retail expected to be most

secure.

Focus &
Outlook

.39

A solid start to FY22, but need to finish strongly
.40

Ongoing central government stimulus is supporting the domestic economic engine - for now.

Strong CPI numbers for Q2 saw the RBNZ start its monetary policy tightening phase – which is expected to occur over a shorter time frame than

forecast just 3-4 months ago.

Domestic and global vaccination rollouts have accelerated over the last 6 months. New Zealand’s vaccination rate is improvingbut the 90%

double dose target for Auckland could remain frustratingly out of reach until Q1 2022.

Globally, many countries are now re-opening with vaccination rates below NZ.

Key focus areas for the second half of FY22 include delivering strong operational results, addressing key expiries, leasing up remaining

vacancies and completion of our development programme.

We continue to progress preliminary master planning across key Value Add properties including our large green industrial opportunities at

Neilson Street and Mt Richmond.

Property fundamentals are still robust and some key markets (e.g. Wellington office, Auckland industrial) continue to presentattractive

dynamics of low supply, high demand and steady rental growth.

Structural changes in the way property is used will provide opportunities and challenges.

We will stay focused on delivering Strategy

Interim Financial Statements 30 September 2021

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. GENERAL INFORMATION

Argosy Property Limited (APL or the Company) is an FMC

Reporting Entity under the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013

and the Financial Reporting Act 2013. APL is incorporated under

the Companies Act 1993 and domiciled in New Zealand.

The Company's principal activity is investment in properties

which include Industrial, Office and Large Format Retail

properties throughout New Zealand.

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements

(interim financial statements) are presented in New Zealand

dollars which is the Company's functional currency and have been

rounded to the nearest thousand dollars ($000) and include those

of APL and its subsidiaries (the Group).

These interim financial statements were approved by the Board

of Directors on 22 November 2021.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION

These interim financial statements have been prepared in

accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Practice in New

Zealand (NZ GAAP) and comply with NZ IAS 34 and IAS 34

Interim Financial Reporting as applicable to the Company as a

profit-oriented entity. These interim financial statements do not

include all of the information required for full annual financial

statements.

The interim financial statements have been prepared on the

historical cost basis except for derivative financial instruments

and investment properties which are measured at fair value.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with NZ

GAAP requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates

that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of

assets and liabilities, income and expenses. The area involving a

higher degree of judgement or complexity, and where

assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial

statements is the valuation of investment property under NZ IAS

40 Investment Property and right-of-use assets under NZ IFRS

16 Leases (Note 4).

Insurance income recognition

The Company recognises income from insurance proceeds when

it is virtually certain that the claims made in an accounting period

have been accepted by insurers.

Change in accounting policies

The same accounting policies and methods of computation are

followed in the interim financial statements as compared with the

most recent annual financial statements. They have also been

applied consistently to all periods and by all group entities in these

financial statements.

New accounting standards adopted

At the date of authorisation of these financial statements, the

Group has not applied any new or revised NZ IFRS standards and

amendments that have been issued but are not yet effective.

Argosy Property Limited

Interim Financial Statements 30 September 2021

3. SEGMENT INFORMATION
The principal business activity of the Group is to invest in, and actively manage, properties in New Zealand. NZ IFRS 8 Operating

Segments requires operating segments to be identified on the basis of internal reports about components of the Group that are regularly

reviewed by the chief operating decision maker, being the Chief Executive Officer, in order to allocate resources to segments and assess

their performance.

The information reported to the Group’s Chief Executive Officer includes information by investment property and has been aggregated

based on three business sectors, Industrial, Office and Large Format Retail, based on what occupants actual or intended use is. Segment

profit represents the profit earned by each segment including allocation of identifiable revaluation gains on investment properties and

gains/(losses) on disposal of investment properties.

The following is an analysis of the Group’s results by reportable segments.

Investment properties are classified as level 3 (inputs are unobservable for the asset or liability) under the fair value hierarchy on the

basis that adjustments must be made to observable data of similar properties to determine the fair value of an individual property.

The Group holds the freehold to all investment properties other than 39 Market Place, Viaduct Harbour, Auckland.

Valuation of investment properties

In accordance with the valuation policy of the Group, property valuations are carried out at least annually by independent registered

valuers. Following recent market property sale transactions and improved leasing activity, the Board and Management engaged Colliers

International New Zealand Limited (Colliers) and CBRE Limited (CBRE) to review key valuation metrics in order to undertake a high-

level desktop review of the property portfolio as at 30 September 2021.

Colliers and CBRE did not re-inspect the properties and did not undertake a full market valuation as at 30 September 2021. They

undertook relevant investigations, including considering any tenant changes, assessing market rentals and reviewing capitalisation

rates in order to determine the desktop value of Argosy’s properties.

Whilst the valuations were provided for Argosy internal purposes, they have been reviewed and assessed by Management and

subsequently adopted by the Board. Overall, there was an uplift in the valuation of the portfolio of $91.7 million (2020: $79.8 million)

which has been recognised as a revaluation gain on investment property as at 30 September 2021.

Following the adoption of NZ IFRS 16 on 1 April 2019, the right-of-use asset and investment were recognised on the ground lease that

exists over 39 Market Place, Viaduct Harbour, Auckland.

Nominal value of interest rate swaps - fixed rate receiver325,000325,000

Interest rate swaps are measured at present value of future cash flows estimated and discounted based on applicable yield curves

derived from observable market interest rates. Accepted market best practice valuation methodology using mid-market interest rates

at the period end date is used, provided from sources perceived to be reliable and accurate. Interest rate swaps have been classified

into Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy on the basis that the valuation techniques used to determine the values at period end date use

observable inputs.

The net liability for derivative financial instruments as at 30 September 2021 is $35.5 million (31 March 2021: $42.5 million). The mark-

to-market decrease in the liability for derivative financial instruments is a result of movements in the interest rate curve during the

interim period.

INDEPENDENT REVIEW REPORT

TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF ARGOSY PROPERTY LIMITED

Conc

lusion

We have reviewed the condensed consolidated interim financial statements (‘interim financial statements’) of Argosy Property

Limited and its subsidiaries (‘the Group’) which comprise the condensed consolidated interim statement of financial position as at 30

September 2021, and the condensed consolidated interim statement of comprehensive income, condensed consolidated interim

statement of changes in equity and condensed consolidated interim statement of cash flows for the period ended on that date, and a

summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information on pages 4 to 17.

Based o

n our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim financial statements of the Group

do not present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Group as at 30 September 2021 and its financial

performance and cash flows for the period ended on that date in accordance with NZ IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and IAS 34

Interim Financial Reporting.

Basis for Conclusion

We conducted our review in accordance with NZ SRE 2410 (Revised) Review of Financial Statements Performed by the Independent

Auditor of the Entity (‘NZ SRE 2410 (Revised)’). Our responsibilities are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the

Review of the Interim Financial Statements section of our report.

We are i

ndependent of the Group in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements in New Zealand relating to the audit of the

annual financial statements, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements.

Other than in our capacity as auditor and for the attendance and scrutineering at the Annual Meeting, we have no relationship with

or interests in Argosy Property Limited or its subsidiaries. These services have not impaired our independence as auditor of the

Group.

Directors’ responsibilities for the interim financial statements

The directors are responsible on behalf of the Company for the preparation and fair presentation of the interim financial statements

in accordance with NZ IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and for such internal control as the

directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation and fair presentation of the interim financial statements that are free

from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s responsibilities for the review of the interim financial statements

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the interim financial statements based on our review. NZ SRE 2410 (Revised) requires

us to conclude whether anything has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim financial statements, taken as a

whole, are not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with NZ IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and IAS 34 Interim

Financial Reporting.

A review of the interim financial statements in accordance with NZ SRE 2410 (Revised) is a limited assurance engagement. We

perform procedures, primarily consisting of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters,

and applying analytical and other review procedures. The procedures performed in a review are substantially less than those

performed in an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (New Zealand) and consequently do not

enable us to obtain assurance that we might identify in an audit. Accordingly we do not express an audit opinion on the interim

financial statements.

Restr

iction on use

This report is made solely to the company’s shareholders, as a body. Our review has been undertaken so that we might state to the

company’s shareholders those matters we are required to state to them in a review report and for no other purpose. To the fullest

extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the company’s shareholders as a body, for

our engagement, for this report, or for the conclusions we have formed.

Argosy Property Limited (‘Argosy’ or the ‘Company’) has reported its results for the 6 months

to 30 September 2021.

Key highlights for the period include:

• Continued focus on sustainability and green developments;

• Record interim net profit after tax of $127.0 million;

• Net property income for the period up 5.1%;

• High occupancy (~99%) and WALT (5.3 years);

• Strong portfolio leasing and rent review outcomes, including 2.4% annualised rental

growth on rents reviewed;

• 7WQ in Wellington is now 100% leased (at 30 November);

• $91.7 million revaluation gain, an increase of 4.5% on book value;

• Increase in NTA per share to $1.64 from $1.53 at 31 March 2021, a 7.2% increase; and

• FY22 dividend forecast reconfirmed at 6.55 cents per share and the new dividend policy

to commence from 1 April 2022.


Chairman Jeff Morrison said, ”Our business has again demonstrated its quality and

resilience, allowing us to deliver sustainable earnings, cashflows and dividends to

shareholders.

Argosy’s management team have worked hard delivering some very positive operational

results. FY22 started very well with the economy and operating environment looking positive.


.2

However, in August we returned to Alert Level 4 lockdown. This created a very challenging

time again for tenants, staff, contractors and other stakeholders in the business.

Nonetheless, Argosy is well placed to manage this near term economic volatility.

Based on current projections for the portfolio and subject to market conditions, the forecast

FY22 dividend has been reconfirmed at 6.55 cents per share.”

Argosy’s Chief Executive Officer, Peter Mence said, “Despite the extended lockdown in

Auckland and ensuing economic challenges which continue today, we are pleased to

have delivered a solid result for the first six months of the 2022 financial year.

Although net distributable income fell, primarily due to the non-refundable deposit income

recorded in the prior comparable period, our portfolio metrics were maintained at very high

levels. We achieved solid rent reviews and leasing results despite difficult economic

conditions.

During the period we continued to progress our green Wellington office development for

Statistics New Zealand as well as the façade works at 7 Waterloo Quay. We also progressed

the master planning for our Mt Richmond Road and Neilson Street industrial Value Add

properties, which are exciting opportunities for us and have generated a lot of market

interest. The current Covid-19 lockdown has certainly highlighted the benefits of having

Argosy’s portfolio heavily weighted to the industrial sector and the value warehousing and

logistics bring to the business, supply chain and local economy. Additionally, the portfolio

has benefited from its exposure to government tenants in Wellington.

Argosy’s quality portfolio is in sound shape and our balance sheet is conservatively geared,

allowing us flexibility to deliver on near term green Value Add projects or strategic

acquisitions when they arise. We expect that the second half of the year will hold

challenges as the economic and regulatory outlook remains unclear. Despite this, we will

continue to focus on what we can control – working closely with our tenants and

stakeholders, completing our green projects, master planning our Value Add opportunities

and delivering sustainable distributions to shareholders.”

Financial Results

Statement of Comprehensive Income

For the six months to 30 September, Argosy reported net property income of $53.1 million for

the period, up 5.1% compared with the prior comparable period.

The increase was underpinned by solid like-for-like rental growth, a greater contribution from

acquisitions (Mt Richmond) and lower Covid-19 rent rebates over the period, partially offset

by disposals.


.3

For the first six months Argosy provided for $0.8 million in rental abatements to tenants and

no deferrals.

Net interest expense of $13.1 million is down by $1.1 million on the prior comparable period,

primarily due to lower overall debt levels and higher capitalised interest.

Interim desk top valuations for the six months to 30 September were performed by CBRE and

Colliers International New Zealand Limited. Following their review, the total unrealised

revaluation gain for the period was $91.7 million or a 4.5% increase above book value. The

portfolio is 3.0% under-rented, excluding market rent on vacant space.

Current tax expense was higher due to large deductions recorded in the prior comparable

period and the non-assessable deposit for the Albany Lifestyle Centre.

Distributable Income

Net distributable income was $33.0 million compared to $36.0 million in the prior

comparable period. The prior comparable period benefited from a forfeited non-

refundable deposit of $4.5 million in respect of the Albany Lifestyle Centre.

Desk Top Valuations

Similar to last year, desk top valuations were performed which resulted in an interim

revaluation gain of $91.7 million, or a 4.5% increase on book value. By location, Auckland

was the largest contributor to the total unrealised revaluation increase, with $77.0 million or

84% of the total uplift. By sector, Industrial was again the key driver of the overall gain at

$83.9 million, up 8.6%. The Office portfolio increased $6.3 million, and Large Format Retail

increased by $1.5 million.

As a result of the revaluation gain, Argosy’s NTA increased to $1.64, or 7.2% from $1.53 at 31

March 2021. Following the revaluation, Argosy’s portfolio shows a contract yield on values of

5.42% and a yield on fully let market rentals of 5.58%.

Portfolio Activity

Portfolio Metrics, Rent Reviews and Leasing

As at 30 September, Argosy’s WALT was 5.3 years and portfolio occupancy was 98.7%.

For the six months to 30 September, Argosy completed 47 rent reviews achieving annualised

re ntal growth of 2.4%. These reviews were achieved on rents totalling $26.8 million. On rents

subject to review by sector, Argosy achieved annualised rental growth of 2.4% for Industrial

rent reviews, 2.4% for Office rent reviews and 3.2% for Large Format Retail rent reviews.

Peter Mence said “Despite the difficulties over the first six months, we were pleased to

deliver solid operational metrics around occupancy, rent reviews and leasing transactions.”


.4

In the first six months, 81% of rents reviewed were subject to fixed reviews, 13% were market

reviews and 6% were CPI based. Fixed reviews accounted for 88% of the total annualised

rental uplift and Auckland and Wellington contributed 84% and 9% of the total annualised

rental uplift respectively.

Argosy completed 21 leasing transactions across 50,458m

2

of NLA over the six months to 30

September. Lease transactions were mixed between extensions (2), renewals (3) and new

leases (16).

Key leasing successes over the first six months of the financial year include;

• PBT Transport, 18-20 Bell Ave, 8,941m

2

and 12-16 Bell Ave, 9,763m

2

on new 10-year leases

at both locations.

• Macpac Limited, Albany Mega Centre, 775m

2

on a new 6-year lease.

• Ministry of Housing & Urban Development, 7WQ, 1,228m

2

on a new 7.4-year lease.

• NZ Blood & Organ Service, 308 Gt South Road, 576m

2

on a new 3-year lease.

• Earthwise Group Ltd, 12 Allens Road, 2,337m

2

on a new 3-year lease.

Peter Mence, Argosy CEO said “While we delivered positive leasing outcomes over the first

half of the year, given the extended nature of the current Covid-19 lockdown and impact

on the Auckland economy, we remain somewhat cautious on the outlook for the second

half of FY22.

The industrial sector continues to be the most resilient of all sectors with strong forecast

returns and in that regard, Argosy is very well positioned. We are working closely with all our

tenants during these uncertain times and we will continue to monitor things closely.”

Acquisitions

Peter Mence said, “While we did not execute on any strategic acquisitions during the

period, we take a long term view. For that reason, we will remain open to any potential

acquisitions that meet our investment criteria because real estate is a long term investment.

Auckland’s underlying property fundamentals remain particularly sound and the industrial

sector continues to fare better than others. There has been no change to our focus of

securing strategic industrial sites within a prime industrial precinct to support our growth.”

Developments

8-14 Willis Street and 360 Lambton Quay, Wellington

The development continues to progress despite the interruption from the recent Covid-19

lockdown. There was a significant project milestone achieved when the tower crane was

removed on 8 August, just a week before the current lockdown started.

Works recommenced when Wellington went down to Alert Level 3 and included internal

works such as services commissioning and tenant fitout related works.


.5

Leasing on the 360 Lambton Quay (360LQ) part of the development continues and there is

solid market interest for space given its attractive location.

Three unconditional leases at 360LQ have been concluded as follows;

• Mountain Warehouse (outdoor lifestyle retailer), 537m

2

on a new 10-year lease;

• Flo & Frankie (women’s retail fashion), 168m

2

on a new 6-year lease;

• James Pascoe Limited (jewellery) returns after a 5 year absence, 118m

2

on a new 6-year

lease.

The retail component of the combined site is now 90% leased with a conditional agreement

on the remaining tenancy. The expected completion date of the project has been pushed

out one month to March 2022.

7 Waterloo Quay, Wellington (7WQ) – leasing and façade works

The building is now 100% leased. As noted earlier, Level 9 of 7WQ has been leased to the

Ministry of Housing and Urban Development (MHUD) on a new 7.4-year lease.

This lease term aligns with MHUD’s existing lease for levels 6, 7 & 8 bringing its total leased

area to 4,903m

2

.

Subsequent to 30 September, Level 12 has been leased to FishServe on a new 9-year lease,

commencing 1 April 2022. FishServe provides administrative services to the New Zealand

commercial fishing industry on behalf of various Government agencies.

The additional work on the exterior façade of the building re-commenced after Wellington

shifted down to Alert Level 3, and the project remains on budget.

12-16 & 18-20 Bell Ave, Mt Wellington, Peter Baker Transport Limited (PBT)

PBT has occupied 12-16 and 18-20 Bell Avenue in Mt Wellington, Auckland since August

1999.

Argosy & PBT have now entered into an agreement for Argosy to undertake an $8.8 million

refurbishment and redevelopment of the sites to reposition them, targeting a 4 Green Star

Built rating. As part of the agreement, PBT has entered into a new 10-year lease.

On completion, the project is forecast to have a yield on total development cost of 5.2%

and a valuation of $69.0 million. The development margin is forecast to be 26% and the IRR

is 8.3%.

Argosy Chief Executive Officer Peter Mence said ”We are very pleased to extend our

existing relationship with PBT for a further 10 years. PBT has been a long term partner of ours

for twenty years and we’re excited to have them support this new green project and

remain part of our portfolio for the foreseeable future.


.6

The development is very much on strategy and demonstrates tenants are increasingly

collaborative around environmental & sustainability issues and keen to support our

commitment to reduce our carbon emissions. The recent expansion of our development

team supports our capability to deliver on the growing development pipeline across the

business.”

The landlord base build works across the two properties includes full upgrades and an end

of trip facility. The external works include new asphalt circulation on the site and a concrete

hardstand to the front-loading zone of 12-16 Bell Ave.

The development is projected to be completed by September 2022.

Divestment of non Core Assets

During the first six months Argosy settled the sale of the Hastings Cool Store at Omahu Road

for $10.4m. The sale reflects ongoing capital management initiatives, including asset

divestments over the last 18 months where assets no longer meet Argosy’s investment

criteria. The proceeds have initially been deployed to reduce bank debt but will be

redeployed into green developments in due course.

Subsequent to 30 September, Argosy has unconditionally sold its property at 25 Nugent

Street in Auckland, for $22.0 million. The sale price reflects a 28% premium above book value

and the sale is to a local investor. Settlement is expected to occur in September 2022.

Capital Management

As at 30 September, Argosy’s debt to total assets ratio, excluding capitalised borrowing

costs, was 31.7% compared to 35.9% at 31 March 2021.

The ratio reflects the net impact of divestments and revaluation gains offset by

development activity during the period. The ratio also excludes the lease liability and right

of use asset at 39 Market Place of $41.6 million, recorded in the period under NZ IFRS 16.

Argosy’s gearing at 30 September sits towards the bottom end of its target gearing band of

30-40%, and well below its bank covenant of 50%.

The Board regularly reviews the various capital management options at its disposal and

believes the capital management initiatives undertaken during the year provide sufficient

capacity to accommodate near term funding requirements.

During the period Argosy extended $215 million of its existing syndicated bank facilities with

ANZ Bank of New Zealand Limited, Bank of New Zealand Limited, Hongkong and Shanghai

Banking Corporation, Commonwealth Bank of Australia and Westpac New Zealand Limited.

The total amount of the bank facilities has also reduced by $35 million and at 30 September

is now $455 million, down from $490 million previously.


.7

Argosy’s weighted average debt tenor, including bonds, was 4.0 years (4.2 years at 31

March 2021) and its weighted average interest rate was 3.88%, compared to 3.69% at 31

March 2021.

Dividends

A second quarter dividend of 1.6375 cents per share has been declared for the September

quarter with imputation credits of 0.0720 cents per share attached. The second quarter

dividend will be paid to shareholders on 22 December 2021 and the record date will be 8th

December. The Dividend Reinvestment Plan (DRP) will be available for shareholders to

participate in but no discount will apply. Argosy continues to pay dividends in line with its

current policy, where annual dividends are less than net distributable income. However, as

outlined in the FY21 annual results, commencing 1 April 2022, Argosy’s policy will be to pay

dividends between 85-100% of AFFO.

Governance and Strategy

Argosy’s second hybrid Annual Shareholders Meeting (ASM) was held on 29 June at 2pm at

the Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron in Auckland. Jeff Morrison and Stuart McLauchlan

were both elected as directors by shareholders. Argosy articulated its vision of building a

better future with a big focus on environmental goals. There is significant global research

which clearly articulates the benefits of greening buildings are not just for the environment,

but for occupiers, owners and investors. Argosy has a strong track record of delivering green

buildings in collaboration with its tenants.

Outlook

Structural change in the occupancy market hastened by the pandemic and New

Zealand’s responses to it is a key focus for the year ahead.

Argosy’s quality portfolio is in good shape and its balance sheet is conservatively geared. It

has capacity and flexibility to fund its near-term green Value Add opportunities. The

balance of FY22 will be about focusing on the core operational elements of the business –

including addressing key expiries and remaining rent reviews, leasing up remaining

vacancies and developments. Argosy will progress its pipeline of green Value Add projects

and focus on driving earnings and capital growth.
