Argosy Property Limited (‘Argosy’ or the ‘Company’) has reported its results for the 12
months to 31 March 2022.
Key highlights for the period include:
• Net profit after tax of $236.2 million;
• $163.7 million annual revaluation gain, an increase of 8% on book value;
• Increase in NTA per share to $1.74 from $1.53 at 31 March 2021, a 13.7% increase;
• Net property income for the period of $105.1 million;
• High occupancy (~98.7%) and WALT (5.7 years);
• Strong portfolio leasing and rent review outcomes, including 3% annualised rental
growth on rents reviewed;
• 7WQ in Wellington is now 100% leased;
• Our continued focus on sustainability and progressive green developments with 8-14
Willis Street now substantially complete and 105 Carlton Gore Road, and 12-20 Bell Ave
underway;
• A full year dividend of 6.55 cents per share, a 1.6% increase over FY21; and
• FY23 dividend guidance of 6.65 cents per share, a 1.5% increase on the prior year;
Chairman Jeff Morrison said, “the Board is very pleased with the way the business has
delivered through yet another Covid-19 impacted year. This has laid a strong foundation for
FY23 and beyond. The business continues to demonstrate the resilience offered by a
portfolio diversified by sector, tenant and location.
.2
Over the last 24 months the company’s exposure to the Auckland Industrial sector has been
a positive influence, underpinning the Company’s ability to deliver dividend and
revaluation growth through difficult economic conditions.
The Company’s focus is on driving our sustainability strategy by providing environmentally
sensitive, high quality, vibrant spaces for its tenants and their staff. We’ll continue building
and maintaining strong relationships with those tenants and other stakeholders to drive
sustainable returns for shareholders. The recent completion of large office and mixed use
refurbishment projects in Wellington is a good example of this.
Argosy is able to effectively redevelop existing buildings into green buildings to help the
reduction of its carbon footprint. Argosy has a significant pipeline of green opportunities
ahead of it, particularly in Auckland’s Industrial market.
The business is well positioned to deliver sustainable returns despite the headwinds of higher
inflation, rising interest rates and geopolitical volatility. Based on current projections for the
portfolio and subject to market and interest rate conditions, the FY23 dividend is expected
to be 6.65 cents per share, a 1.5% increase on the prior year.”
Argosy’s Chief Executive Officer, Peter Mence said, “After another challenging year
affected by lockdowns and restrictions, its pleasing to have delivered what we consider to
be a very solid full year result to shareholders.
We delivered on our operational focus areas around vacancies, key expiries and
developments. We also divested our non Core asset at 25 Nugent Street at a healthy
premium to book value. Our core portfolio metrics have remained sound despite the
operational environment being so difficult for everyone.
8-14 Willis Street is now substantially complete and has been handed over to Statistics New
Zealand for fitout. The handover sees Argosy complete the largest green development
project in its history. We are targeting a 6 Green Star rating for this high quality Core asset.
The Wellington office market continues to exhibit strong fundamentals and our ongoing
exposure to Government rental streams provides resilience during uncertain times.
Master planning at Argosy’s two key Auckland industrial estates at Mt Richmond Road and
Neilson Street is well progressed and we are fielding strong market enquiry for these sites,
which will be redeveloped into green industrial estates. We’re excited about the potential
these sustainably focused properties bring to the portfolio and the cross section of new
industrial tenants showing interest. Strong industrial fundamentals means this sector is
forecast to be the best performer over the next five years.
.3
We are focusing on our organic Value Add development pipeline due to scarcity of land
driving very high bare land pricing. Given the pipeline of work ahead, we’ve resourced our
development team accordingly.
With the economy facing a range of headwinds, the next 12 months will be challenging for
the domestic economy, but the business is well positioned for it.
We will continue to work hard on the things we can control. On the operational side, this is
leasing up vacancies and renewing expiring leases. On the strategic side, we’ll keep
working closely with our tenants and supporting their growth aspirations, completing our
existing green projects and master planning and developing our Value Add opportunities.
All of these support the delivery of our strategic plan and sustainable distributions to
shareholders.”
Financial Results
Statement of Comprehensive Income
For the 12 months to 31 March, Argosy reported net property income of $105.1 million for the
period, marginally down compared with the prior comparable period.
Net property income was bolstered by steady rental growth, a full year contribution from Mt
Richmond and lower Covid-19 rent rebates over the period, offset by disposals, particularly
the Albany Lifestyle Centre.
For the year to 31 March, Argosy provided $1.6 million in rental abatements to tenants and
no deferrals.
Net interest expense of $25.6 million was down by $2.9 million on the prior comparable
period, primarily due to higher capitalised interest on developments and lower debt levels.
Annual valuations for the year to 31 March were performed by CBRE Limited, Colliers
International New Zealand Limited, Bayleys Valuation Limited and Jones Lang Lasalle. The
total unrealised revaluation gain for the year to 31 March was $163.7 million or an 8%
increase above book value. Of the annual gain 56% was recognised in the interim desktop
valuation assessments at 30 September 2021. The portfolio is 3.3% under-rented, excluding
market rent on vacant space.
Distributable Income
Net distributable income for the year was $64.7 million compared to $67.7 million in the prior
comparable period. The prior comparable period included a forfeited deposit of $4.5 million
from the original sale of the Albany Lifestyle Centre, which was not settled.
.4
Valuations
By location, Auckland was the largest contributor to the total year end valuation result with
an unrealised revaluation increase of $142.1 million or 87% of the total portfolio uplift. By
sector, and at 51% of Argosy’s portfolio by value Industrial was the key driver of the overall
gain at $144.7 million, up 14.7% on book value. The Office portfolio increased $9.1 million,
and Large Format Retail increased by $9.8 million.
As a result of the FY22 revaluation gain, Argosy’s NTA increased to $1.74, or 13.7% from $1.53
at 31 March 2021. Following the revaluation, Argosy’s portfolio shows a contract yield on
values of 5.23% and a yield on fully let market rentals of 5.43%.
Portfolio Activity
Portfolio Metrics, Rent Reviews and Leasing
As at 31 March, Argosy’s WALT was 5.7 years and portfolio occupancy was 98.7%.
For the year to 31 March, Argosy completed 99 rent reviews achieving annualised rental
growth of 3.0%. These reviews were achieved on rents totalling $60.1 million. On rents subject
to review by sector, Argosy achieved annualised rental growth of 2.8% for Industrial rent
reviews, 3.2% for Office rent reviews and 3.2% for Large Format Retail rent reviews.
Peter Mence said “The second half of the year was challenging as we operated under red
traffic light settings. However, we were very pleased to have delivered solid results around
key operating metrics of occupancy, rental growth and leasing.”
For the year to 31 March, 76% of rents reviewed were subject to fixed reviews, 8% were
market reviews and 16% were CPI based. Fixed reviews accounted for 72% of the total
annualised rental uplift and Auckland and Wellington contributed 76% and 19% of the total
annualised rental uplift respectively.
Argosy completed 31 leasing transactions across 74,376m
2
of NLA over the year to 31
March. Lease transactions were made up of new leases (23), extensions (3), renewals (5).
Key leasing highlights over the financial year include;
• Thermo Fisher Scientific NZ Limited, 5 Allens Road, East Tamaki, 6yr renewal
• Commercial Fisheries Services Limited, Level 12 at 7WQ, new 9yr lease
• Mobil Oil NZ Limited, 8 Nugent Street, 3yr extension
• Macpac Limited, Albany Mega Centre, new 6yr lease
• Ministry of Housing and Urban Development, 7WQ, new 7yr lease
• The Baby Factory, Albany Mega Centre, new 6yr lease
• PBT Transport, 18-20 Bell Ave, new 10yr lease
• PBT Transport, 12-16 Bell Ave, new 10yr lease
• Tax Management New Zealand Limited, 23 Customs Street, new 5yr lease
.5
”It is very pleasing to have 7WQ now 100% leased, with 94% of space occupied by
government tenants. Coupled with the substantially completed façade works, the building
is now well positioned to deliver resilient, long term income given its weighting to highly
defensive Government rental streams.
The Auckland Industrial sector continues to be very attractive with strong bottom-up
fundamentals, including low vacancy and strong rental growth. It’s a resilient sector and has
the best forecast returns over the next five years. With half of Argosy’s portfolio weighted to
Industrial, the pipeline of green Value-Add development industrial sites will enhance our
portfolio quality and resilience over the longer term” said Peter Mence.
Acquisitions
After Balance Date, Argosy acquired 100 Maui Street (Maui Street), located in Pukete,
Hamilton for $33.1 million. Maui Street has excellent connectivity to motorway arterials and
State Highway One. Peter Mence said “By location, the property is consistent with our
strategy and enhances our exposure to the attractive Industrial sector. Prolife Foods are a
well-established local food manufacturer. They are a high quality partner and an essential
service, which aligns with our strategy of being a diversified business with resilient earnings
and cashflows. There is also 8,100m
2
of vacant land for development in the future which
provides additional attraction to this acquisition. We’re pleased to welcome Prolife Foods
into the Argosy family.”
The purchase price was the mid-point of a Colliers International initial valuation range and
gives an IRR of 6.7% and an initial yield of 4.5%.
The acquisition sees Argosy with a portfolio weighting to the Golden Triangle of 1.5% versus
our 5% target and increases our overall Industrial exposure to 52%. The acquisition
environment remains strong despite rising interest rates. As highlighted above, Argosy
remains open to strategic acquisitions that meet its investment criteria, preferably industrial
sites within a prime industrial precinct with the capacity to support tenant growth
aspirations.
Divestment of non Core Assets
Argosy sold the Albany Lifestyle Centre in April 2021 and Omahu Road, Hastings in
September 2021. In the second half of FY22, the Company announced it had
unconditionally sold 25 Nugent Street in Auckland, for $22.0 million. The sale to a local
investor, reflected a 28% premium above book value and settlement is expected to occur
in September 2022. These sales reflect the back end of Argosy’s capital management
initiatives over the last 24 months, where assets no longer meet Argosy’s investment criteria.
.6
Investment Policy Bands
The Board made a strategic decision to adjust Argosy’s Investment Policy target bands to
increase the portfolios weighting towards the strongly performing Industrial sector.
Accordingly, by portfolio value, the Industrial target is now 55-65% (was 45-55%), Office is
now 25-35% (was 30-40%) and the Large Format Retail target is now 5-15% (was 10-20%).
Peter Mence said “We have done a lot of work assessing the organic Value Add
opportunities within the portfolio coupled with analysis of forecast sector returns. Auckland
Industrial is forecast to be the best performing sector over the medium term and by
delivering on our current pipeline of Value Add opportunities, we expect to be within our
new target bands over the medium term. We’re excited about what the future holds for
Argosy and the development team are going to be extremely busy delivering a pipeline of
well-designed, vibrant and sustainable spaces for tenants and their staff to work and
flourish.”
Developments
8-14 Willis Street and 360 Lambton Quay, Wellington
The development at 8-14 Willis Street is now substantially complete with the building to be
formally handed over to Statistics New Zealand. The tenant has access to nine floors and
soft fit out is being undertaken by the tenant as well as audio visual installation works. The
building is targeting a 6 Green Star Built rating.
Leasing on the office space at 360 Lambton Quay continues and there is strong interest for
the space. Management is progressing documentation of a lease on the property.
The retail area in both buildings is now fully leased.
7 Waterloo Quay, Wellington (7WQ) – leasing and façade works
The building is now 100% leased and the façade works have largely been completed.
12-16 & 18-20 Bell Ave, Mt Wellington, Peter Baker Transport Limited (PBT)
This $8.8 million redevelopment targeting 4 Green Star continues to progress well. PBT has
entered into a new 10 year lease with two rights of renewal of six years. On completion, the
project is forecast to have a yield on development cost of 5.2% and IRR of 8.3%. The
forecast valuation on completion is expected to be $69 million.
Argosy Chief Executive Officer Peter Mence said ”This type of project really embodies our
vision of building a better future for our tenants, their staff, the environment and of course
our stakeholders. Argosy has built a market leading position over the last decade in
redeveloping existing buildings into green assets, and we have more of these industrial
opportunities in the pipeline.
.7
Extending PBT’s lease at the location for ten years was fundamental to the project and
exemplifies the benefits of having valuable relationships with our tenants to support their
long-term strategic growth aspirations.
The development is clearly on strategy and demonstrates that tenants are increasingly
collaborative around environmental & sustainability issues and keen to support our
commitment to reduce carbon emissions. The recent expansion of our development team
enhances our capability to deliver on the growing development pipeline across the
business.”
The development is expected to be completed by September 2022.
105 Carlton Gore Road, Newmarket
Argosy has commenced another capital project with this $35 million green redevelopment
with an expected completion date in May 2023. The building is now targeting 6 Green Star
certification (previously 5 Star) and is forecast to be valued at $65 million on completion,
generating an IRR of 7.2% and a yield on cost of 5.3%. Leasing enquiry for the redeveloped
building is strong, and it is expected that it will be leased prior to completion.
“The green redevelopment at 105 Carlton Gore Road will certainly offer something different,
bringing a fresh and vibrant look to the area” said Peter Mence.
Capital Management
As at 31 March, Argosy’s debt to total assets ratio, excluding capitalised borrowing costs,
was 31.1% compared to 35.9% at 31 March 2021. The ratio continues to reflect the net
impact of divestments and revaluation gains, offset by development activity during the
period
1
.
Argosy’s year end gearing sits towards the bottom end of its target gearing band of 30-40%,
and well below its bank covenant of 50%. The Board considers there is sufficient capacity to
accommodate known, medium term funding requirements.
As noted in the first half of the year, 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 reduced by $35
million and is now $455 million, down from $490 million previously.
1
The ratio excludes the right of use asset at 39 Market Place of $40.2 million, recorded in the period under NZ IFRS 16.
.8
Argosy’s weighted average debt tenor, including bonds, was 3.5 years (4.2 years at 31
March 2021) and its weighted average interest rate was 4.14%, compared to 3.69% at 31
March 2021.
Strategy and Governance
“Argosy’s future will be driven by maintaining our leading market position of redeveloping
existing buildings into green and driving growth into the attractive Auckland Industrial
sector, especially over the medium term. We’ll continue to develop strong relationships with
the Government sector. Our FY23 key deliverables will be focused on completing existing
developments, commencing our new green projects, leasing new developments and
residual portfolio vacancies and addressing key expiries. Our big strategic goals coupled
with our current year objectives, support the delivery of resilient and sustainable dividend
growth over the long term” said Jeff Morrison.
Argosy’s Annual Shareholders Meeting (ASM) will be held as a hybrid meeting on 21 June at
2pm at the Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron in Auckland. The hybrid functionality of the
ASM allows shareholders to attend virtually and participate in all elements of the meeting
including questions and answers and completing all voting.
Mike Pohio and Chris Gudgeon will retire in accordance with the Company’s constitution
and the NZX Listing Rules and will be eligible for re-election.
Dividends and Outlook
A fourth quarter dividend of 1.6375 cents per share has been declared for the March
quarter with 0.1276 cents per share imputation credits attached. This brings the full year
dividend to 6.55 cents per share in line with guidance. The dividend will be paid to
shareholders on 22 June 2022 and the record date will be 8 June 2022. The Dividend
Reinvestment Plan has been suspended by the Board until further notice.
Jeff Morrison said “We remain very focused on delivering measured dividend growth to
shareholders. Based on current projections for the portfolio and subject to market conditions
(including interest rate increases), the forecast FY23 dividend guidance is 6.65 cents per
share, a 1.5% increase on the prior year.”
Argosy starts FY23 with a portfolio in good shape and the business with a very sound capital
position with strong foundations for this year and beyond. The company remains driven to
ensure it remains a sustainably focused (green), resilient and diversified business that delivers
measured sustainable dividend growth to shareholders.

Gross Property Income Waterfall

Acquisition income offset by disposals of low growth assets
Financial Performance
.21
Net property income was bolstered by
steady rental growth, a full year
contribution from Mt Richmond, lower
Covid-19 rent rebates over the period,
offset by disposals, particularly the Albany
Lifestyle Centre.
Rental rebates of $1.6m were provided
for over the period, with no deferrals.
Interest expense was lower primarily due
to higher capitalisedinterest and lower
overall debt levels.
The solid revaluation gain was driven by a
combination of cap rate firming and
rental growth.
Another solid result despite

Market Insights
.34
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.
Return of domestic manufacturing as a
result of the supply chain issues and
carbon footprint of distribution from
offshore
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 continue.
Changes in the way space is used,
focusing on the environment, becoming
a reason to be in the office.
Increased focus from tenants on
sustainability/green as an appeal to
younger staff.
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.
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
.35
FY23 has challenges ahead, but we’re well placed
.36
Local and global economy experiencing rising interest rates (tightening) and inflation headwinds. This is creating construction cost tension
together with ongoing global supply chain pressure.
Globally, many countries are accelerating their re-opening and New Zealand has started to follow.
Geopolitically there are challenges, particularly in Europe, which is adding to global economic and market volatility.
Key focus areas for FY23 are simple: delivering strong operational results, addressing key expiries, leasing up remaining vacancies, completion
of key green developments and commencing new ones as planned.
Master planning across key green Value Add developments at Mt Richmond and Neilson Street continues and there is healthy market interest.
Attractive property fundamentals in key markets (Auckland industrial and Wellington office) continue to present attractive dynamics of low
supply, high demand and steady rental growth.
Structural changes in the way property is used will provide opportunities and challenges. We are keeping a watching brief.
We will stay focused on delivering on Strategy

Building a
better future
Annual Report 2022
We are focused on three things.
Our ability to deliver vibrant
commercial spaces that reflect
the strength of our relationships
and the future needs of our
tenants. Our determination to
achieve the lowest impact possible
on the environment. And our
commitment to do everything we
can to deliver sustainable earnings
for our stakeholders.
Auckland continues to dominate
our plans. We’re increasing
our presence in the industrial
sector, progressing master
planning at our Mt Richmond
and Neilson Street development
sites and maintaining our presence
in the Government sector.
At the same time, we continue
to lead the market in repurposing
existing buildings to make them
greener and better for tenants
and their people.
We have progressed in many
areas – from developments on
our Value Add properties to leasing
residual vacancies and addressing
key expiries – ensuring we leave
no stone unturned in doing right
by our investors.
Building a better future is never
about one thing. For us, it’s
absolutely about doing everything
we can to improve on today
for our tenants, our people, our
investors, communities and the
environments we are part of.

“The board is very pleased with the way the
management team has managed the business through

foundation for 2023 and beyond. The FY23 dividend
guidance of 6.65 cents per share reflects our

Annual Report 2022Argosy Property Limited
On behalf of the Board of Directors, it
is my pleasure to present Argosy’s
2022 Annual Report.
The business continues to demonstrate the resilience offered by
a portfolio diversified by tenant and location. Over the last 24
months the company’s exposure to the Government sector
through the Wellington office market has been a stabilising
influence, underpinning the company’s ability to deliver earnings
and dividend growth through difficult economic conditions.
The company’s focus is on positioning the portfolio for the future
by providing environmentally sensitive quality, vibrant spaces for
its tenants and their staff. We’ll continue building and maintaining
strong relationships with those tenants and other stakeholders to
drive sustainable returns for shareholders. The recent completion
of larger office and mixed use refurbishment projects particularly
in Wellington is a good example.
Argosy’s policy is to bring a light touch to the environment, and
it is in the enviable position of being able to use the repurposing
of existing buildings into green buildings to help the reduction of
its carbon footprint. Argosy has a significant pipeline of
opportunities ahead of it, particularly in Auckland’s industrial
market.
Strategy
Looking ahead, the FY23 year looks to continue to bring
challenges, some old and some new as we look to a world re-
opening with high inflation, rising interest rates and geopolitical
volatility and the ongoing overhang of the pandemic. However,
the business is well positioned to withstand these headwinds.
Governance
Argosy’s Annual Shareholders Meeting (ASM) will be held in
June as a hybrid meeting on 21 June at 2pm at the Royal New
Zealand Yacht Squadron in Auckland. The hybrid functionality of
ASM’s allows shareholders to attend virtually and participate in
all elements of the meeting including questions and answers and
completing all voting.
Mike Pohio and Chris Gudgeon will retire in accordance with the
Company’s constitution and the NZX Listing Rules and will be
eligible for re-election.
Dividends
A fourth quarter dividend of 1.6375 cents per share has been
declared for the March quarter with imputation credits of 0.0xxx
cents per share attached. The dividend will be paid to
shareholders on xx June 2022 and the record date will be xx June
2022. The Dividend Reinvestment Plan (DRP) will be available
for shareholders to participate in but no discount will apply.
Based on current projections for the portfolio and subject to
market conditions, the forecast FY23 dividend has been
confirmed at 6.65 cents per share.
Outlook
Argosy starts FY23 with a portfolio in good shape and the business
with a very sound capital position. It has strong foundations for
this year and beyond. There is financial capacity to fund near term
developments and any strategic opportunities that might arise.
But there are challenges ahead. There has been structural changes
in some sectors which present opportunities and will drive our
long term portfolio composition. New Zealand is in a rising
interest rate environment coupled with high inflation and
weaking business and consumer confidence. We will have to
ensure we can execute on delivering key operational areas
including leasing up residual vacancies, addressing key expiries
and commencing and completing our organic development
opportunities as planned.
Ultimately, the company remains driven to ensure it remains a
sustainably focused (green), resilient and diversified business
that delivers sustainable dividends to shareholders.

Annual Report 2022Argosy Property Limited
On behalf of the Board of Directors, it
is my pleasure to present Argosy’s
2022 Annual Report.
The business continues to demonstrate the resilience offered by
a portfolio diversified by sector, tenant and location.
Over the last 24 months the company’s exposure to the Auckland
Industrial sector has been a positive influence, underpinning the
Company’s ability to deliver dividend and revaluation growth
through difficult economic conditions.
The Company’s focus is on driving our sustainability strategy by
providing environmentally sensitive, high quality, vibrant spaces
for its tenants and their staff. We’ll continue building and
maintaining strong relationships with those tenants and other
stakeholders to drive sustainable returns for shareholders. The
recent completion of large office and mixed use refurbishment
projects in Wellington is a good example of this.
Argosy is able to effectively redevelop existing buildings into
green buildings to help the reduction of its carbon footprint.
Argosy has a significant pipeline of green opportunities ahead of
it, particularly in Auckland’s Industrial market.
Investment Policy Bands
The Board made a strategic decision to adjust Argosy’s
Investment Policy target bands to increase the portfolios
weighting towards the strongly performing Industrial sector.
Accordingly, by portfolio value, the Industrial target is now
55-65% (was 45-55%), Office is now 25-35% (was 30-40%) and
the Large Format Retail target is now 5-15% (was 10-20%).
Strategy
Argosy is progressing well with its strategic plan. A key driver is
the redevelopment of existing properties into modern, high
quality and sustainable buildings. We are steadily expanding and
improving the portfolio with spaces designed to meet tenants
evolving requirements. Over the long term, this will underpin the
sustainability and growth in earnings to shareholders.
Governance
Ar
gosy’s Annual Shareholders Meeting (ASM) will be held as a
hybrid meeting on 21 June at 2pm at the Royal New Zealand Yacht
Squadron in Auckland. The hybrid functionality of the ASM
allows shareholders to attend virtually and participate in all
elements of the meeting including questions and answers and
completing all voting.
Mike Pohio and Chris Gudgeon will retire in accordance with the
Company’s constitution and the NZX Listing Rules and will be
eligible for re-election.
Dividends
A fourth quarter dividend of 1.6375 cents per share has been
declared for the March quarter with 0.1276 cents per share
imputation credits attached. This brings the full year dividend to
6.55 cents per share in line with guidance. The dividend will be
paid to shareholders on 22 June 2022 and the record date will be
8 June 2022. The Dividend Reinvestment Plan has been
suspended by the Board until further notice.
Based on current projections for the portfolio and subject to
market and interest rate conditions, the FY23 dividend is
expected to be 6.65 cents per share.
Outlook
Argosy’s future will be driven by maintaining our leading market
position of redeveloping existing buildings into green and driving
growth into the attractive Auckland Industrial sector, especially
over the medium term. We’ll continue to develop strong
relationships with the Government sector. Our FY23 key
deliverables will be focused on completing existing
developments, commencing our new green projects, leasing new
developments and residual portfolio vacancies and addressing
key expiries. Our big strategic goals coupled with our current year
objectives, support the delivery of resilient and sustainable
dividend growth over the long term.

Annual Report 2022Argosy Property Limited
We delivered on our operational focus areas around vacancies,
k
ey expiries and developments. We also divested our non Core
asset at 25 Nugent Street at a healthy premium to book value. Our
core portfolio metrics have remained sound despite the
operational environment being so difficult for everyone.
8-14 Willis Street is now substantially complete and has been
handed over to Statistics New Zealand for fitout. The handover
sees Argosy complete the largest green development project in its
history. We are targeting a 6 Green Star rating for this high quality
Core asset. The Wellington office market continues to exhibit
strong fundamentals and our ongoing exposure to Government
rental streams provides resilience during uncertain times.
Master planning at Argosy’s two key Auckland industrial estates
at Mt Richmond Road and Neilson Street is well progressed and
we are fielding strong market enquiry for these sites, which will
be redeveloped into green industrial estates. We’re excited about
the potential these sustainably focused properties bring to the
portfolio and the cross section of new industrial tenants showing
interest. Strong industrial fundamentals means this sector is
forecast to be the best performer over the next five years.
We are focusing on our organic Value Add development pipeline
due to scarcity of land driving very high bare land pricing. Given
the pipeline of work ahead, we’ve resourced our development
team accordingly.
Highlights
Key highlights for the period include:
•
Net profit after tax of $236.2 million;
•
$163.7 million annual revaluation gain, an increase of 8% on
book value;
•
Increase in NTA per share to $1.74 from $1.53 at 31 March 2021,
a 13.7% increase;
•
Net property income for the period of $105.1 million;
•
High occupancy (~98.7%) and WALT (5.7 years);
•
Strong portfolio leasing and rent review outcomes, including
3% annualised rental growth on rents reviewed;
•
7WQ in Wellington is now 100% leased;
•
Our continued focus on sustainability and progressive green
developments with 8-14 Willis Street now substantially
complete and 105 Carlton Gore Road, and 12-20 Bell Ave
underway;
•
A full year dividend of 6.55 cents per share, a 1.6% increase over
FY21; and
•
FY23 dividend guidance of 6.65 cents per share, a 1.5% increase
on the prior year.
Financial Results
Statement of Comprehensive Income
For the 12 months to 31 March, Argosy reported net property
income of $105.1 million for the period, marginally down
compared with the prior comparable period.
Net property income was bolstered by steady rental growth, a full
year contribution from Mt Richmond and lower Covid-19 rent
rebates over the period, offset by disposals, particularly the
Albany Lifestyle Centre.
For the year to 31 March, Argosy provided $1.6 million in rental
abatements to tenants and no deferrals.
Net inter
est expense of $25.6 million was down by $2.9 million on
the prior comparable period, primarily due to higher capitalised
interest on developments and lower debt levels.
Annual valuations for the year to 31 March were performed by
CBRE Limited, Colliers International New Zealand Limited,
Bayleys Valuation Limited and Jones Lang Lasalle. The total
unrealised revaluation gain for the year to 31 March was
$163.7 million or an 8% increase above book value. Of the annual
gain 56% was recognised in the interim desktop valuation
assessments at 30 September 2021. The portfolio is 3.3% under-
rented, excluding market rent on vacant space.
Distributable Income
Net distributable income for the year was $64.7 million compared
to $67.7 million in the prior comparable period. The prior
comparable period included a forfeited deposit of $4.5 million
from the original sale of the Albany Lifestyle Centre, which was
not settled.
Valuations
By location, Auckland was the largest contributor to the total year
end valuation result with an unrealised revaluation increase of
$142.1 million or 87% of the total portfolio uplift. By sector, and at
51% of Argosy’s portfolio by value Industrial was the key driver of
the overall gain at $144.7 million, up 14.7% on book value. The
Office portfolio increased $9.1 million, and Large Format Retail
increased by $9.8 million.
As a result of the FY22 revaluation gain, Argosy’s NTA increased
to $1.74, or 13.7% from $1.53 at 31 March 2021. Following the
revaluation, Argosy’s portfolio shows a contract yield on values of
5.23% and a yield on fully let market rentals of 5.43%.
Outlook
With the economy facing a range of headwinds, the next 12
months will be challenging for the domestic economy, but the
business is well positioned for it. We will continue to work hard
on the things we can control. On the operational side, this is
leasing up vacancies and renewing expiring leases. On the
strategic side, we’ll keep working closely with our tenants and
supporting their growth aspirations, completing our existing
green projects and master planning and developing our Value Add
opportunities. All of these support the delivery of our strategic
plan and sustainable distributions to shareholders.
We look forward to updating all our stakeholders at our Annual
Meeting in June.

Annual Report 2022Argosy Property Limited
We delivered on all of our operational focus areas around
vacancies, key expiries and completing developments. We also
divested non-core buildings during the year at healthy premiums
to book value. Our core portfolio metrics have remained sound
despite the operational environment being so difficult for
everyone.
8-14 Willis Street has now been handed over to Statistics New
Zealand. At a total cost o
f $xm, the handover sees Argosy complete
its largest green development project in its history. If we achieve
our target 6 Green Stars the building will certainly be the jewel in
our crown. The Wellington office market continues to exhibit
strong fundamentals which we don’t see waning for some time.
Our ongoing exposure to Government rental streams provides a
high degree of certainty and stability during uncertain times.
Master planning at Argosy’s two key Auckland industrial estates
at Mt Richmond Road and Neilson Street are progressing and we
are fielding a lot of market inquiry for these sites which will be
repurposed into green industrial estates. We’re excited about the
potential these sustainably focused properties bring to the
portfolio and the cross section of new industrial tenants showing
interest. We think strong industrial fundamentals and the fact the
sector is forecast to be the best performer over the next five years
is underpinning occupier interest.
The balance of the portfolio is in excellent shape. Argosy’s capital
structure is sound and we have capacity to execute on
opportunities as they arise. However, with interest rates rising it
we are focusing more on our organic value add development
pipeline. Given the pipeline of work we see ahead, we’ve
resourced the business and development team up accordingly.

Portfolio Overview
Portfolio Metrics, Rent Reviews and Leasing
As at 31 March, Argosy’s WALT was
5.7 years and portfolio occupancy
was 98.7%.
For the year to 31 March, Argosy completed 99 rent reviews
achieving annualised rental growth of 3.0%. These reviews were

review by sector, Argosy achieved annualised rental growth of
2.8% for Industrial rent reviews, 3.2% for Office rent reviews and
3.2% for Large Format Retail rent reviews.
Peter Mence said “The second half of the year was challenging as
we operated under red traffic light settings. However, we were
very pleased to have delivered solid results around key operating
metrics of occupancy, rental growth and leasing.”
For the year to 31 March, 76% of rents reviewed were subject to
fixed reviews, 8% were market reviews and 16% were CPI based.
Fixed reviews accounted for 72% of the total annualised rental
uplift and Auckland and Wellington contributed 76% and 19% of
the total annualised rental uplift respectively.
Argosy completed 31 leasing transactions across 74,376m
2

”It is very pleasing to have 7WQ now 100% leased, with 94% of

The Auckland Industrial sector continues to be very attractive
with strong bottom-up fundamentals, including low vacancy and
strong rental growth. It’s a resilient sector and has the best
forecast returns over the next five years. With half of Argosy’s
portfolio weighted to Industrial, the pipeline of green Value Add

“It's great to have 7 Waterloo Quay now 100% leased. Coupled
with the substantially complete façade works, the building is now
well positioned to deliver resilient, long term rental streams given
its weighting to highly defensive Government rental streams. The
Auckland industrial sector continues to be very attractive with
strong bottom-up fundamentals including low vacancy and strong
rental growth. It’s a resilient sector and has the best forecast
returns over the next five years. With over half of Argosy’s
portfolio weighted to it, our pipeline of green value add
development industrial states will only enhance our portfolio
quality and resilience over the longer term” said Peter Mence.

Acquisitions and Value Add Developments
After balance date
, Argosy acquired 100 Maui Street (Maui
Street), located in Pukete, Hamilton for $33.1 million. Maui Street
has excellent connectivity to motorway arterials and State
Highway One.
The purchase price was the mid-point of a Colliers International
initial valuation range and gives an IRR of 6.7% and an initial yield
of 4.5%.
The acquisition environment remains strong despite rising
interest rates. As highlighted above, Argosy remains open to
strategic acquisitions that meet its investment criteria, preferably
industrial sites within a prime industrial precinct with the
capacity to support tenant growth aspirations.
Divestment of non Core Assets
Argosy sold the Albany Lifestyle Centre in April 2021 and Omahu
Road, Hastings in September 2021. In the second half of FY22, the
Company announced it had unconditionally sold 25 Nugent Street
in Auckland, for $22.0 million. The sale to a local investor,
reflected a 28% premium above book value and settlement is
expected to occur in September 2022. These sales reflect the back
end of Argosy’s capital management initiatives over the last 24
months, where assets no longer meet Argosy’s investment
criteria.
Investment Policy Bands
The Board made a strategic decision to adjust Argosy’s
Investment Policy target bands to increase the portfolios
weighting towards the strongly performing Industrial sector.
Accordingly, by portfolio value, the Industrial target is now
55-65% (was 45-55%), Office is now 25-35% (was 30-40%) and
the Large Format Retail target is now 5-15% (was 10-20%).
Peter Mence said “We have done a lot of work assessing the
organic Value Add opportunities within the portfolio coupled
with analysis of forecast sector returns. Auckland Industrial is
forecast to be the best performing sector over the medium term
and by delivering on our current pipeline of Value Add
opportunities, we expect to be within our new target bands over
the medium term. We’re excited about what the future holds for
Argosy and the development team are going to be extremely busy
delivering a pipeline of well-designed, vibrant and sustainable
spaces for tenants and their staff to work and flourish.”

of future development
land
Peter Mence said “We are pleased to have made an
acquisition in the Waikato Region. By location, the
property is consistent with our strategy and enhances our
exposure to the attractive Industrial sector. Prolife Foods
are a well-established local food manufacturer. They are
a high quality partner and an essential service, which
aligns with our strategy of being a diversified business
with resilient earnings and cashflows. There is also
8,100m
2
of vacant land for development in the future
which provides additional attraction to this acquisition.
We’re pleased to welcome Prolife Foods into the Argosy
family. The acquisition sees Argosy with a portfolio
weighting to the Golden Triangle of 1.5% versus our 5%
target and increases our overall Industrial exposure to
approximately 52%.”

Baker Transport (PBT)
This $8.8 million redevelopment targeting 4 Green Star continues
to progress well.
Argosy Chief Executive Officer Peter Mence said ”This type of
project really embodies our vision of building a better future for
our tenants, their staff, the environment and of course our
stakeholders. Argosy has built a market leading position over the
last decade in redeveloping existing buildings into green assets,
and we have more of these industrial opportunities in the pipeline.
Extending PBT’s lease at the location for ten years was
fundamental to the project and exemplifies the benefits of having
valuable relationships with our tenants to support their long-term
strategic growth aspirations. "
The development is expected to be completed by September 2022.
105 Carlton Gore Road, Newmarket
Argosy has commenced another project with this $35 million
green redevelopment with an expected completion date in May
2023. The building is now targeting 6 Green Star certification
(previously 5 Star) and is forecast to be valued at $65 million on
completion, generating an IRR of 7.2% and a yield on cost of 5.3%.
Leasing enquiry for the redeveloped building is strong, and it is
expected that it will be leased prior to completion.
“The green redevelopment at 105 Carlton Gore Road will certainly
offer something different, bringing a fresh and vibrant look to the
area” said Peter Mence.
12-16 & 18-20 Bell Avenue, Mt
W
ellington - Peter Baker Transport
Peter Baker Transport (PBT) has occupied 12-16 and 18-20

1999.
In November 2021, Argosy announced that it had entered
into an agreement with PBT for it to undertake an
$8.8 million refurbishment and redevelopment of the
sites to reposition them. The development would be
targeting a 4 Green Star Built rating and 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%, a valuation of $69.0 million and
IRR of 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.
The development is very much on strategy and
demonstrates tenants are increasingly collaborative
around environmental and sustainability issues and keen
to support our commitment to reduce our carbon
emissions. The recent expansion of our development
team reflects our commitment 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.

Portfolio Overview
Investment Policy Framework
Ar
gosy has a Clearly Defined
Investment Framework
Argosy is, and will remain, invested in a portfolio that is diversified
by sector, location and tenant mix. The Investment Strategy is
unchanged and Argosy’s portfolio will continue to consist
primarily of Core and Value Add properties.
Core
Core properties are well constructed, well located assets which
are intended to be long-term investments of more than 10 years.
The Core properties target is between 75% to 90% of the portfolio
by value. Core properties are well located with strong long-term
generic demand, a leasing profile that provides for rental growth
of at least CPI and good structural integrity with minimal
maintenance capital expenditure required.
Value Add
Value Add properties are assets which, through skilled asset
management, can increase future earnings and provide capital
growth. Value Add properties will already be well located with
the potential for strong long-term tenant demand. These
properties are available for near to medium-term repositioning or
development with the view to moving into the Core category.
Investment Policy
The Investment Policy clearly defines what properties Argosy will
seek to own by setting the boundaries within which it will operate
and invest. It delivers a clear acquisition checklist and every
potential acquisition (and portfolio asset) can be measured
against that checklist.
In some cases, a portfolio of assets may be considered for
acquisition. The strategy for a potential portfolio acquisition must
be consistent with the overall Argosy Portfolio Investment
Strategy (i.e. the majority by value of the properties are either Core
or offer potential to move to Core in the medium-term).
In certain circumstances, exceptions to the Investment Policy
may be considered where an acquisition is made to meet the
requirements of a valued tenant.
Investment Policy target bands have been adjusted to reflect
development opportunities over the medium-term and the effect
on overall portfolio composition. The Industrial target is now
55-65% (was 45-55%), Office is now 25-35% (was 30-40%) and
the Large Format Retail target is now 5-15% (was 10-20%).
Argosy’s diversified portfolio of quality properties has an average
value of $41.7 million. This allows the Company to react quickly
to changing economic or property market conditions. Liquid
properties, which are properties that could potentially be under
contract within a short period, currently represent 24% of the
portfolio or $519.0 million.
Capital Management
The optimal capital structure for Argosy is one that enables it to
maximise its earnings yield through the property cycle within the
following parameters:
•
pr
operties can be acquired when they meet the approved
Investment Policy criteria, or sold when they are non Core;
•
there are no forced sales of properties or a requirement to issue
equity at a price that is dilutive to shareholders;
•
measured dividend growth is maintained.
Argosy’s debt-to-total assets ratio target band remains at 30-40%.
This band allows Argosy flexibility to react to changing financial
and property market conditions. Any movement beyond pre-set
parameters requires an action plan and timeframe to move debt
levels to within the prescribed range.
Risk Management
Argosy strives to deliver reliable and attractive returns to
shareholders. It takes a considered approach to development,
acquisition, divestment, leasing and capital management
decisions, reflecting its proposition to shareholders as a yield-
based investment.
Argosy has a robust risk assessment process. Risk assessment
reviews are carried out by a representative cross-section of
Argosy’s management team at least twice a year in accordance
with Argosy’s Risk Management Framework. A risk assessment
review has three phases: identification of material risks arising
from Argosy’s operation; assessment of the probability and
consequences of the risk; and development of controls to achieve
a level of residual risk that is within Argosy’s risk appetite.
Argosy generally operates within a medium/low overall risk
range. Argosy has a low risk appetite for risks associated with
managing developments, Value Add projects and compliance
matters.

Materiality Assessment
F
or the year to 31 March 2022 Argosy implemented sustainability
reporting on material topics in accordance with GRI reporting
principles (core option). To identify material topics, Argosy
engaged EY to carry out a materiality assessment under GRI
guidelines. EY reviewed Argosy’s peers, media commentary,
industry perspectives, as well as Argosy’s internal documentation.
Stakeholders were identified b
y Argosy’s Management team and
include investors, lenders, tenants, suppliers and industry groups.
The material topics and their priority were determined based on
interviews with stakeholders and a workshop with members of
Argosy’s Management team.
The materiality assessment carried out by EY identified seven
material ESG topics as shown in the matrix below.

Our ESG Approach
Reducing Carbon Emissions, Energy and Waste
Argosy's approach
The impact of Argosy’s business on
the natural environment is an
increasingly important consideration
for investors, tenants and other
stakeholders.
Argosy recognises that an important part of its responsibility to
stakeholders and central to ensuring a sustainable business, is to
focus on reducing carbon emissions, energy usage and waste over
the medium to long term.
Key building performance measures include carbon emissions,
energy used and waste produced. Argosy is focused on reducing
the impact these have on the natural environment and utilises
third party verification wherever possible to validate building
performance. Third party verification includes New Zealand
Green Building Council Green Star Built Ratings (around overall
building quality, environmental benefits, recycling and waste
diversion) and NABERSNZ ratings (energy). In 2021, Argosy
engaged Toitū Envirocare to help it identify, measure, monitor and
report on its carbon emissions with a view to reducing these over
time. In the short term, Argosy will offset its carbon emissions with
carbon credits.
Green Buildings
The
company strives to improve the environmental performance
of its properties and the portfolio of which approximately 26.1%
are green buildings by value. The World Green Building Council
set the framework for sustainability tools and the New Zealand
Green Building Council (NZGBC) customised the tools to reflect
the New Zealand environment. A Green Star “Built” rating is a tool
that verifies what is built rather than what is designed. We believe
that tool is more appropriate as it reflects the finished product.
In accordance with Argosy’s Green Bond Framework, green assets
are those existing and/or planned Office, Industrial and Large
Format Retail buildings, including upgrades that are either
targeting or have been certified as obtaining either a minimum 4
Star NZGBC Green Star Built rating or a minimum 4-Star
NABERSNZ Energy Base Building Rating or Energy Whole
Building Rating.
With a focus on ensuring the long term sustainability of its
business, coupled with a corporate goal of greening 50% of the
portfolio by 2031, Argosy will continue to transform the portfolio
into one which is better for the environment but also delivers
better outcomes for tenants and their staff, over and above
financial returns to shareholders.
NABERSNZ
NABERSNZ is a rating tool based on the National Australian Built
Environment Rating System and this is licensed to EECA and
administrated by NZGBC. This is an energy efficiency rating that
standardises buildings to allow comparisons to be made. The
ability to understand how much energy is being used provides the
benchmark against which energy reductions can be measured.

Our ESG Approach
Changing Lives, Saving Lives
Engaging, investing and contributing
to the communities we live in.
Argosy's approach
•
A resilient business is one which maintains strong and valued
relationships and remains committed to actively engaging
with all its stakeholders.
•
As one of New Zealand’s largest commercial landlords, Argosy
is in a unique position to make a real difference.
•
Argosy has reset its long term social aspirations to making a
much bigger and more positive impact in the communities it
operates in.
Performance
Through 2022 Argosy delivered on its financial commitment to
its community partners. This includes five surf life saving clubs
across New Zealand, Pillars, The Spirit of Adventure Trust and
Variety – the childrens charity. As part of Argosy’s new 10-year
vision of Building a better future, Argosy is planning on materially
lifting its social investment with its focus based around the
philosophy of ‘changing lives, saving lives’. To this end, we
continue to formalise our framework and with support from EY,
we expect to update stakeholders on our social investment
programme at our interim result in November 2022.
Argosy continues to maintain a broad range of commercial and
non-commercial partnerships. Annual memberships include:
The New Zealand Shareholders Association, MSCI Real Estate,
The New Zealand Green Building Council, The Property Council
of New Zealand, and Toitū Net Carbonzero.
Surf Life Saving
Ar
gosy continues to support its five surf life saving partners across
New Zealand. These include: Red Beach Surf Life Saving Club
(SLSC), Hot Water Beach SLSC (Coromandel), Taylors Mistake
SLSC (Christchurch), Lyall Bay SLSC (Wellington) and St Clair
SLSC (Dunedin).
These five clubs and their members are part of a family of 74 Surf
Life Saving Clubs across New Zealand, and over 4,600 volunteer
surf lifeguards who patrol at over 80 locations every summer.
Lifeguards volunteered 241,000 hours to patrol beaches, saving
lives and keeping people safe over the last season. We continue to
be amazed at the commitment to keeping communities safe every
year, which is why Argosy’s partnerships with local clubs is
incredibly important and it will continue to support them at every
opportunity.
“Supporting New Zealand's surf
lifesaving community continues to be
one of Ar
gosy's most successful
social investments.”

ariety – The Childrens Charity
Variety aspires to ensure all children have the opportunity to
reach their full potential and give disadvantaged kids the
childhood they deserve. Through the 2021 winter Argosy worked
closely with Variety to again support their ‘kids in beds’ winter
appeal. Argosy considers Variety an amazing organisation. The
impact from Covid-19 over the last two years has made their
support of those families and children most in need even more
important. Now in its third partnership year, Argosy again
supported the winter appeal with $7,500 towards blankets,
bedding packs and beds. Argosy staff continue to dip into their
own pockets and topped up the company sponsorship by $2,050,
making a total sponsorship package of $9,550. This allowed
Variety to provide 28 beds and bedding packs for children over
winter.
“My daughter was sleeping on the
floor without warm enough clothes or
bedding. Now she has a lovely bed
and bedding which has impr
oved her
health and wellbeing.”

ARIETY SPONSORED FAMILY
Pillars
Pillars has been a community partner since 2019
. Established 30
years ago, Pillars is a charity dedicated to supporting children of
prisoners. In 2022, it was pleasing to hear that the Argosy support
of $7,500 was shared among 50 families in South Auckland and
Hamilton, through a combination of emergency food support,
personal protective equipment (PPE) supplies, basic medicines,
school supplies and then later for Christmas presents.
Throughout lockdown, Pillars had many families needing food
support - but many food banks were inundated and could not
always provide for everyone.
“Argosy's donation was r
elied upon to
put food onto the tables of families
who were going hungry. We also
used it to fund the purchase of
supplies including masks, sanitiser
and gloves.”
Corrina Thompson
SENIOR MENTORING COORDINATOR
Argosy's s

organisation does to help their communities.
Next Generation Sport
In J
anuary 2022, Argosy supported The World School Sevens
which was hosted at Pakuranga Rugby Club. Eighteen sides
competed over two days which included boys and girls teams. The
event was broadcast live on Sky Sport and was also live-streamed
internationally through Rugby Pass. This year was a record crowd,
with over 6,000 people attending across the two days. Other key
statistics from the event were:
•
324 participants
•
47 games
•
7 nations
•
5 international and 2 domestic broadcasters
“The tournament was a resounding
success
given the Covid-19 affected
year we had experienced. We thank
Argosy for their support and hope to
have you on board again next year! ”

Staff volunteer days
Ar
gosy continues to encourage its staff to undertake community
volunteer work and give their time to organisations of their
choice. Volunteer work is an important way to engage with our
communities and support the delivery of outcomes over and
above financial returns. Sadly, Covid-19 affected Argosy’s staff
volunteer work in the community during the year. A handful of
staff did manage to get involved in their communities however,
including helping out at the New Zealand Food Network (NZFN).
NZFN acts as a National Food Rescue Facilitator that collects
quality surplus and donated bulk food from producers, growers
and wholesalers around the country. NZFN then delivers this food
to community organisations including iwi and charities across
New Zealand, so that they may feed the communities they serve.
Organisations which normally benefit from the great volunteer
work of staff include Pillars, The ManKind Project and Auckland
City Mission. Argosy staff will be aiming to resume their
commitment and support in the FY23 year.

Employee Wellbeing - Better People
Support the health & wellbeing of its
people
Argosy's appr
oach
Broadly, health & wellbeing relates to all aspects of working life,
from the quality and safety of the physical working environment,
to how staff feel about their job, their actual work space (including
resources and set up), their environment and corporate culture.
The better the employee wellbeing, the better an organisations
ability to achieve results and deliver on corporate goals and
strategy. We continued to see evidence of this through the course
of FY22.
Argosy remains committed to providing a healthy and safe
workplace for all its employees and has its workplace Health and
Safety Committee (HSC) in place. The HSC drives initiatives such
as the provision of subsidised gym memberships (physical health)
and access to independent employee assistance programs (mental
health).
In addition, permanent employees are provided with health, life
and disability insurance cover as part of their employment.
The FY22 year saw additional lockdowns and red-light settings
impacting on staff. During this time the HSC continued to ensure
all staff had access to everything they needed to be as effective and
efficient at home as they are at work. As we head into FY23, Argosy
retains flexible working arrangements for staff as required.
Performance
•
Engage with employees via the HSC and annual staff surveys;
•
Professional development plans for staff;
•
Support for professional courses; and
•
Monitor and report on effectiveness of flexible working
arrangements for all staff.
Developing Our Talent
Argosy continues to invest resources into upskilling its people to
ensure it has the necessary skills and experience to perform
expertly and professionally. As the business changes and adapts
to an ever changing competitive environment, so to must the
resources to meet those changes. Each employee has a personal
development plan as part of their Employee Performance Plan
(EPP). The EPP is developed with the employee's line manager
and reviewed as part of the annual review process.
Despite the challenges brought on by Covid-19 in FY22, Argosy
staff continued to upskill across a range of areas including
Refresher St John First Aid and sustainability courses. One
employee continues to progress with their Masters of Business
Administration (MBA) through the University of Otago and
delivered some staff training from their course learnings. Argosy
has also supported staff through professional accounting
examinations.
With significant growth aspirations, Argosy also bolstered its
development team with additional resources in recognition of the
opportunities that lie ahead.
Diversity
Argosy's appr
oach
Argosy is committed to creating and maintaining a diverse,
inclusive and supportive workplace for all its staff. A key focus for
the company continues to be around the diversity of its people
and this is underpinned by its Diversity Policy (available on its
website) which sets out its position and includes measurable
objectives to achieve its goals. Key principles within the Diversity
Policy include: treating people with respect, valuing the
contribution of others and maintaining a zero tolerance policy for
discrimination. Argosy continues to retain talented people to

Health & Safety
Zer
o Harm
Argosy's approach
Argosy’s Health and Safety Policy sets out its commitment to an
aspirational vision of zero harm. Argosy acknowledges
responsibilities in relation to the health and safety of our own
employees, to other workers employed by contractors involved in
maintenance and construction work at our buildings, tenants who
occupy our buildings and the public who visit our buildings.
Argosy’s health and safety commitments include accurate
recording and reporting of workplace incidents, supporting
innovation and fresh ideas to improve health and safety systems,
encouraging worker participation in health and safety and
enabling the safe and early return to work of injured employees.
Implementation of Argosy’s Health and Safety Framework is
overseen by a Management Health and Safety Committee
comprising a cross-section of employees and the Board’s ESG
Committee. The Management Health and Safety Committee
provides regular reporting to the Board on health and safety
incidents and risks.
Led by our Head of Health & Safety, Argosy’s staff regularly
participate in industry workshops such as SiteSafe and
Contractor Induction Groups.
Before work can commence at any Argosy site, contractors are
required to undergo pre-qualification and induction to Argosy’s
contractor management system. This system helps to monitor the
work at our sites and ensure that all work is carried out to the
highest standards and in accordance with best health and safety
practices. It also provides real time notifications of risks and
emergency procedures to contractors visiting our buildings
through smart phone technology.
Argosy’s Head of Health and Safety also meets with contractors
at the start of significant projects and carries out safety audits to
help ensure that works are carried out in accordance with the best
health and safety practices. Health and safety procedures at work
sites are discussed with contractors and unsatisfactory audit
results are followed up.
Argosy’s health and safety procedures are periodically reviewed
b
y external health and safety experts. An assessment of Argosy’s
Health and Safety Framework and the operating effectiveness of
controls was carried out in 2021. This assessment focused on key
controls for Argosy’s top three critical health and safety risks,
which were found to be operating effectively. Argosy’s top three
critical health and safety risks have been identified as;
•
management of sub-contractors;
•
approval of contractors; and
•
high-risk work (involving working at heights, fire system
isolation, hot works, confined spaces, asbestos removal or EPS
panels).
Covid-19
With the concerns around Covid-19 Argosy has added a new
section into its safety audit that specifically looks at personal
safety on site in line with Ministry of Business, Innovation and
Employment guidelines.
Before a contractor can move up alert levels, they are required to
supply a Return to Work policy which is vetted and approved. This
ensures that a contractor is meeting all obligations from the
authority, Argosy and the tenant.
Argosy schedules regular supervisor/site manager meetings with
its major contractors where it takes the opportunity to discuss
with those who manage people, its expectations regarding health
and safety on site. Argosy has found this is reducing the incidence
of tenant complaints during work because of a greater alignment
of expectations.

which were found to be operating effectively. Argosy’s top three
critical health and safety risks have been identified as;
•
management of sub-contractors;
•
approval of contractors; and
•
high-risk work (involving working at heights, fire system
isolation, hot works, confined spaces, asbestos removal or EPS
panels).
Covid-19
With the concerns around Covid-19 Argosy has added a new
section into tis safety audit that specifically looks at personal
safety on site in line with Ministry of Business, Innovation and
Employment guidelines.
Before a contractor can move up alert levels, they are required to
supply a Return to Work policy which is vetted and approved, this
ensures that a contractor is meeting all obligations from the
authority, Argosy and the tenant.
Argosy schedule regular supervisor/site manager meetings with
its major contractors where it takes the opportunity to discuss
with those who manage people, its expectations regarding health
and safety on site. Argosy has found this is reducing the incidence
of tenant complaints during work because of a greater alignment
of expectations.

Annual Report 2022Argosy Property Limited
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. REPORTING ENTITY
Ar
gosy 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 financial statements are the consolidation of APL and its
subsidiaries (the Group).
2. BASIS OF PREPARATION
Statement of compliance
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with Generally Accepted Accounting Practice in New Zealand
(NZ GAAP). The accounting policies applied in these financial
statements comply with New Zealand equivalents to
International Financial Reporting Standards (NZ IFRS) and other
applicable Financial Reporting Standards issued and effective at
the time of preparing these statements as applicable to the
Company as a profit-oriented entity. These Group financial
statements also comply with International Financial Reporting
Standards (IFRS).
These financial statements were approved by the Board of
Directors on 17 May 2022.
Basis of measurement
The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost
basis except for derivative financial instruments and investment
properties which are measured at fair value.
Use of estimates and judgements
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with NZ
IFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates that
affect the application of policies and reported amount of assets
and liabilities, income and expenses. The area involving a higher
degree of complexity and where assumptions and estimates are
significant to the financial statements is note 5 - valuation of
investment property.
Functional and presentation currency
These 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).
Basis of consolidation
The Group’s financial statements incorporate the financial
statements of APL and its controlled subsidiaries as set out in note
24. Control is achieved when the Company has power over the
investee; is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its
involvement with the investee, and has the ability to use its power
to affect its returns. The results of the subsidiaries are included
in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income from the
date of acquisition which is the date the Company became entitled
to income from the subsidiaries acquired. All significant
intercompany transactions are eliminated on consolidation.
Statement of cash flows
The s
tatement of cash flows is prepared on a GST exclusive basis,
which is consistent with the statement of comprehensive income.
The following terms are used in the statement of cash flows:
Operating activities are the principal revenue producing
activities of the Group and other activities that are not investing
or financing activities.
Investing activities are the acquisition and disposal of long term
assets and other investments not included in cash equivalents.
Financing activities are activities that result in changes in the
size and composition of the contributed equity and borrowings of
the entity. Termination payments for swap contracts,
establishment fees, extension fees and arranger fees are
considered financing activities as they effect a change in the
company’s borrowing arrangements.
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances and demand
deposits. Bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form
an integral part of the Group’s cash management are included as
a component of cash and cash equivalents for the purpose of the
statement of cash flows.
3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
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.
A settlement was reached with insurers in the year to 31 March
2021 in respect of the earthquake damage at 7 Waterloo Quay as
a result of the 2016 Kaikoura earthquake.
Total insurance proceeds of $47.5m have been received, of which
$24.1m were recognised in the year to 31 March 2021. These
insurance proceeds have been allocated across rental losses,
expenses incurred as a result of the earthquake and reinstatement
of material damage.
Change in accounting policies
Accounting policies and methods of computation have been
applied consistently to all periods and by all Group entities.
Some comparative balances have been amended to reflect current
year presentation.
New accounting standards adopted
At the date of authorisation of these financial statements, the
Group has not applied any new and revised NZ IFRS standards
and amendments that have been issued but are not yet effective.
It is not expected that the adoption of these standards and
amendments will have a material impact on the financial
statements of the Group.

4. SEGMENT INFORMATION
The principal business activity of the Gr
oup 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 investment property information aggregated into three
business sectors, Industrial, Office and Large Format Retail, based on what the occupants actual or intended use is. Segment profit
represents 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.

Annual Report 2022Argosy Property Limited
5. INVESTMENT PROPERTIES
Accounting policy – Investment properties
In
vestment property is property held either to earn rental income, for capital appreciation or for both.
Investment property is initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at fair value with any change therein recognised
in profit or loss.
Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating and arranging operating leases and lease incentives granted are added to the carrying
amount of the leased asset.
In accordance with the valuation policy of the Group, complete property valuations are carried out at least annually by
independent registered valuers. The valuation policy stipulates that the same valuer may not value a building for more than
two consecutive years. The fair values are based on market values being the estimated amount for which a property could be
exchanged on the date of the valuation between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm’s length transaction after proper
marketing wherein the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion.
The valuations are prepared using a combination of the Capitalisation of Contract Income, Capitalisation of Market Income
and Discounted Cash Flow methodologies. Discounted Cash Flow methodology is based on the estimated rental cash flows
expected to be received from the property adjusted by a discount rate that appropriately reflects the risks inherent in the
expected cash flows.
Following the adoption of NZ IFRS 16 on 1 April 2019, a right-of-use asset and investment were recognised on the ground lease
that exists over 39 Market Place, Viaduct Harbour, Auckland.
Investment properties are derecognised when they have been disposed of and any gains or losses incurred on disposal are
recognised in profit or loss in the year of derecognition.
Borrowing costs directly attributable to property under development are capitalised as part of the cost of those assets.

Investment properties are stated at fair value by independent valuers supported by market evidence of property sale transactions and
leasing activity. These valuations are reviewed by the Asset Management team within Argosy. The major inputs and assumptions that
are used in the valuation that require judgement include forecasts of the current and expected future market rentals and growth,
maintenance and capital expenditure requirements, an assessment of yields, discount rates, occupancy, leasing costs and weighted
average lease terms.
In deriving a market value under each approach, all assumptions are based, where possible, on market based evidence and transactions
for properties with similar locations, conditions and quality of construction and fitout.
Generally as occupancy and weighted average lease terms increase, yields firm, resulting in increased fair values for investment
properties. A movement in any of these assumptions could result in a significant change in fair value.

6. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Accounting policy - Non-derivative financial instruments
N
on-derivative financial instruments comprise trade and other receivables, cash and cash equivalents, borrowings (comprising
of interest bearing liabilities and lease liabilities) and trade and other payables.
Non-derivative financial instruments are initially measured at fair value plus directly attributable costs. Subsequently these
instruments are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The carrying values of these financial
instruments are a reasonable approximation of their fair values.
The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset or financial liability and of
allocating interest income over the relevant period (including all fees and points paid or received between the parties to the
contract that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through
the expected life of the financial instrument, or, where appropriate, a shorter period to the net carrying amount of the financial
instrument.
Accounting policy - Derivative financial instruments
Interest rate swaps are entered into to manage interest rate exposure. For interest rate swaps, the net differential paid or received
is recognised as a component of interest expense in the profit or loss.
Interest rate swaps are initially recognised at zero at the date a derivative contract is entered into and are remeasured to their
fair value at subsequent reporting dates. The resulting gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss immediately.
Interest rate swaps are presented as a non-current asset or a non-current liability if the remaining maturity of the instrument
is more than 12 months and it is not expected to be realised or settled within 12 months. Other interest rate swaps are presented
as current assets or current liabilities.

Risk management
The use of financial ins
truments exposes the Group to credit,
interest rate and liquidity risks. The Group’s overall risk
management programme focuses on the unpredictability of
financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects
on the Group’s financial performance.
Credit risk
Credit risk relates to the risk that the counterparty to a financial
instrument may default on its obligations to the Group, resulting
in financial loss.
The Group's main exposure to credit risk arises from trade
receivables and transactions with financial institutions, and is
summarised in the preceding table. There are no significant
concentrations of credit risk in specific receivables due to
receivables mainly comprising a large number of tenants in the
Group’s property portfolio and the Group policy to limit the
amount of credit exposure to any financial institution.
The Group manages its exposure to credit risk from trade
receivables through its credit policy which includes performing
credit evaluations on customers requiring credit. The Group does
not hold any collateral in respect of balances past due. Details of
impairment losses relating to trade receivables together with the
ageing of receivables is provided in note 8.
The risk from financial institutions is managed by placing cash
and deposits with high credit quality financial institutions only.
Cash deposits are placed with ANZ Bank New Zealand Limited.
Interest rate risk
Inter
est rate risk arises from long term borrowings (refer note 14).
Variable rate borrowings expose the Group to cash flow interest
rate risk while fixed rate borrowings expose the group to fair value
interest rate risk.
The Group manages its exposure to interest rate risk through
derivatives in the form of both floating-to-fixed and fixed-to-
floating interest rate swaps. These derivatives provide an
economic hedge against variability in cash flows as a result of
changes in variable interest rates on borrowings.
The Group’s policy is to maintain a range of approximately
40-100% of its borrowings in fixed interest rate instruments
unless otherwise instructed by the Board of Directors. At year end,
57.1% of borrowings, after the effect of associated swaps, were at
fixed rates (2021: 50.7%).
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group may encounter difficulty
in meeting its obligations associated with its financial liabilities
that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset.
Liquidity risk mainly arises from the Group’s obligations in
respect of long term borrowings, derivatives and trade and other
payables. The Group aims to maintain flexibility in funding by
keeping committed credit lines available (refer note 14).

1. The undiscounted cashflows on inter
est bearing liabilities includes interest, margin and line fees.
To manage the Group’s exposure to interest rate risk on variable rate instruments, the Group has implemented a hedging strategy that
uses inter
est rate swaps that have a range of maturities. At 31 March 2022, the Group had active interest rate derivatives (both payer
and receiver swaps) with a notional contract amount of $725 million (2021: $710 million). The active derivatives mature over the next
6 years (2021: 7 years). Payer swaps have fixed interest rates ranging from 0.93% to 4.90% (2021: 0.93% to 4.90%). Swaps with a notional
amount of $55 million have been entered into but are not yet effective at 31 March 2022 (2021: $20 million).
Interest rate swaps are measured at the 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 balance 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 balance date use observable
inputs.
The net liability for derivative financial instruments as at 31 March 2022 is $30.1 million (2021: $42.5 million). The mark-to-market
decrease in the liability for derivative financial instruments is a result of the movement in the interest rate curve during the financial
year.

Accounting policy - Property, plant and equipment
All pr
operty, plant and equipment is stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.
Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items.
At the end of each reporting period, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its assets to determine whether there is any
indication that those assets have suffered impairment. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is
estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment (if any). Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable
amount of an individual asset, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset
belongs.
An impairment is recognised immediately in profit or loss.

8. TRADE AND OTHER RECEIVABLES
Accounting policy - Trade and other receivables
T
rade and other receivables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective
interest method, less provision for impairment. A provision for impairment of trade receivables is established to reflect an
estimate of amounts that the Group will not be able to collect in accordance with the original terms of the receivables. The
amount of the provision is the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash
flows, discounted at the original effective interest rate.

The average credit period on receivables is 3.1 days (2021: 3.0 days). The Group is entitled to charge interest on trade receivables as
determined
in each individual lease agreement. Interest is charged on receivables over 90 days on a case by case basis. The Group has
provided for 50% of all receivables over 90 days unless there is information suggesting that particular amounts are recoverable. This
amount increases to 100% of any receivable that is determined as not being recoverable. Trade receivables less than 90 days are provided
for based on estimated non-recoverable amounts, determined by reference to relevant factors, conditions, and information at reporting
date including past default experience.

Capital risk management
The Gr
oup's capital includes shares, reserves and retained earnings with total shareholders' funds equal to $1,472.1 million (2021:
$1,280.6 million).
The Group maintains a strong capital base so as to maintain investor, creditor and market confidence and to sustain the Group's future
on-going activities and development of the business. The impact of the level of capital on equity holder returns is also recognised along
with 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.
The Board's intention is to maintain the debt-to-total-assets ratio between 30-40% in the medium term. The Group's banking covenants
require that the aggregate principal amount of the loan outstanding does not exceed 50% of the fair value of property at all times. All
banking covenants have been met during the year.
The Group manages its capital to ensure that entities in the Group will be able to continue as a going concern while maximising the
return to stakeholders through optimisation of debt and equity. The Group's policies in respect of capital management and allocation
are reviewed regularly by the Board of Directors. There have been no material changes in the Group's overall strategy during the year.
12. SHARE BASED PAYMENTS RESERVE
Accounting policy - Share based payments
The
fair value of performance share rights (PSRs) are recognised as an expense in the statement of financial performance over
the vesting period of the rights with a corresponding entry to the share based payments reserve.
PSRs were offer
ed to senior executives, commencing 1 April 2015. Under the scheme, PSRs are issued to participants which give them
the right to receive ordinary shares in the Company after a three year period, subject to certain vesting and other conditions being met.
The vesting of the PSRs is subject to the Company achieving a positive total shareholder return (measured against the Company's share
price on the date of the issue of the PSRs, and including dividends) over a three year measurement period. The total number which
actually vest will be dependent on the relative ranking of the Company's total shareholder returns against a comparator group of listed
entities determined by the Board from the S&P/NZX All Real Estate Gross Index.
The total expense recognised in the year to 31 March 2022 in relation to equity settled share based payments was $206,400 (2021:
$240,996). A total of 318,573 (2021: Nil) PSRs vested during the year and each PSR was converted to one ordinary share at an issue
price of $1.51.

are measured at amortised cost with any difference being recognised in profit or loss over the expected life of the instrument
using the effective interest method.
Borrowing costs are the costs incurred in establishing the bank facility and fixed rate bonds. These costs are amortised over
the life of the instrument at the effective interest rate.

20. DEFERRED TAX
Accounting policy - Deferred tax
Deferr
ed tax is recognised on temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the financial
statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit, and is accounted for using the balance
sheet liability method. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences and deferred tax
assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which deductible temporary
differences can be utilised. Such assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from goodwill or
from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affect
neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit.
Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the liability is settled or the asset
realised.
Under NZ IAS 12, the measurement of deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets depends on whether an entity expects to
recover an asset by using it or by selling it and includes a presumption that an investment property is recovered entirely through
sale unless it will be consumed over its useful life.
The follo

Deferred tax is pr
ovided in respect of depreciation expected to be recovered on the sale of property at fair value. Depreciation is claimed
at Inland Revenue Department approved rates.
Investment properties are valued each year by independent valuers (as outlined in note 5). These values include an allocation of the
valuation between the land and building components. The calculation of deferred tax on depreciation recovered and changes in fair
value relies on the split provided by the valuers.
It is assumed that all fixtures and fittings will be sold at their tax book value.

25. LEASES
Accounting policy - Leases
T
he Group as a lessee
Argosy do not recognise right of use assets or lease liabilities for short term leases or low value leases. Lease payments for these
leases are recognised as an expense on a straight line basis over the lease term.
Where Argosy identifies a lease, the following treatment is applied:
Right of use assets are measured at cost comprising the amount of the initial lease liability, any payments made before the
commencement of the lease, direct costs and any restoration costs. Right of use assets are disclosed within the same line item
as that within which the corresponding underlying assets would be presented if they were owned. Some right of use assets
meet the definition of investment properties. Refer note 5 for policies and disclosure on investment properties.
Lease liabilities are measured at the net present value of the lease payments. These payments include fixed lease payments,
amount expected to be payable under residual value guarantees, variable lease payments that are based on an index or rate, the
exercise price of a purchase option if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise that option, and payments of penalties for
terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the lessee exercising that option.
These lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease. If that rate cannot be determined, the lessee’s
incremental borrowing rate is used, being the rate that the lessee would have to pay to borrow the funds necessary to obtain
an asset of similar value in a similar economic environment with similar terms and conditions.
Subsequent to initial measurement, each lease payment is allocated between the principal and finance cost. The finance cost
is charged to the 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.
The maturity analysis of lease liabilities is presented in note 6.
The Group as a lessor
Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of
ownership to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases.
The Group has entered into commercial property leases on its investment properties. The Group has determined that it retains
all significant risks and rewards of ownership of these properties and has thus classified these leases as operating leases.
Rental income from operating leases is recognised in the period to which it relates. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating
and arranging an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and amortised to property expenses on
a straight-line basis over the lease term.
In the event that lease incentives are paid to enter into the operating leases, such incentives are recognised as an asset. The
aggregate cost of incentives is recognised as a reduction of rental revenue on a straight-line basis.
When a contract includes both lease and non-lease components, consideration is allocated to each component under the
contract.

Annual Report 2022Argosy Property Limited
To the Shareholders of Argosy Property Limited
Opinion
We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Argosy Property Limited and its subsidiaries (the ‘Group’),
which comprise the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 March 2022, and the consolidated
statement
of comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for
the year then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant
accounting policies.
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements, on pages 50 to 77, present fairly, in all material
respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as at 31 March 2022, and its consolidated financial
performance and 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’).
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (‘ISAs’) and International Standards
on Auditing (New Zealand) (‘ISAs (NZ)’). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the
Auditor’s Responsibilities f
or 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.
We are independent of the Company in accordance with Professional and Ethical Standard 1 International Code of
Ethics for Assurance Practitioners (including International Independence Standards) (New Zealand) issued by the New
Zealand Auditing and Assurance Standards Board and the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants’
International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including International Independence Standards), and we
have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements.
Other than in our capacity as auditor and vote scrutineering at the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting, we have no
relationship with or interests in the Company or any of its subsidiaries. These services have not impaired our
independence as auditor of the Company and Group.
Audit materiality
We consider materiality primarily in terms of the magnitude of misstatement in the financial statements of the Group
that in our judgement would make it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable person
would be changed or influenced (the ‘quantitative’ materiality). In addition, we also assess whether other matters
that come to our attention during the audit would in our judgement change or influence the decisions of such a
person (the ‘qualitative’ materiality). We use materiality both in planning the scope of our audit work and in
evaluating the results of our work.
We determined materiality for the Group financial statements as a whole to be $3.2 million.
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 period. 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.
Key audit matter How our audit addressed the key audit matter
Investment property valuations
As disclosed in note 5 of the consolidated financial
statements, investment properties were valued at $2,248
million as at 31 March 2022. The investment properties are
classified into three segments being, Industrial, Office, and
Large Format Retail.
The methods used for assessing fair values include the
capitalisation of contract income, capitalisation of market
income and discounted cash flow methodologies. Fair values
are calculated using actual and forecasted inputs and
assumptions including market rentals and growth, maintenance
and capital expenditure requirements, an assessment of yields,
discount rates, occupancy, leasing costs and weighted average
lease terms. Adjustments are made to observable market data of
similar properties to reflect the specific nature and location of
the individual properties.
The Group’s policy is to engage independent registered
valuers to perform valuations for each of the properties on at
We read the valuation reports for all properties that were subject
to revaluation at year end. We checked for any limitations of scope
in the valuation reports that would impact the reliability of the
valuations. When considered appropriate, discussions were held
with the valuers to confirm the valuation approach used. These
discussions related to the general market, as well as specific
properties identified by us.
We assessed the valuers’ experience and professional
accreditations. This included having each of the valuers confirm
their independence, qualifications and that the scope of work
undertaken was in line with professional valuation standards and
financial reporting standards. In addition, we considered the
Group’s process for reviewing and challenging the valuation reports
to ensure that they accurately reflected the individual
characteristics of each property and the ongoing impacts that
COVID-19 may have had on the property portfolio.
The major inputs to the valuation process were tested across a
sample of properties. For the sample selected, key changes in
rental a
ssumptions, occupancy, capitalisation rates and terms were

Other information
The Board of Directors are responsible on behalf of the Group for the other information. The other
information comprises the information in the Annual Report that accompanies the consolidated
financial statements and the audit report.
Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we
do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
Our responsibility is to read the other information and consider whether it is materially inconsistent
with the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise
appears to be materially misstated. If so, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to
report in this regard.
Board of Directors’ responsibilities
for the consolidated financial
statements
The Board of Directors are responsible on behalf of the Group 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 Board of 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 Board of Directors are responsible on behalf
of the Group 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 Board of 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 and ISAs (NZ) 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 on the External Reporting Board’s website at:

Restriction on use
This report is made solely to the Company’s shareholders, as a body. Our audit has been undertaken so
that we might state to the Company’s shareholders those
matters we are required to state to them in an
auditor’s 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 audit work,

Companies Act 1993. Argosy shares are listed on the NZX Main
Board (NZX code: ARG). Argosy’s constitution is available on its
website (www.argosy.co.nz) and the New Zealand Companies
Office website (www.companiesoffice.govt.nz).
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE PHILOSOPHY
Ultimate responsibility for corporate governance of the Company
resides with the Board of Directors. The Board sees strong
corporate governance and stewardship as fundamental to the
strong performance of the Company and, accordingly, the Board’s
commitment is to the highest standards of business behaviour and
accountability.
Outlined below are the main corporate governance practices in
place throughout the year. In the Board’s opinion, as at 31 March
2022, the Company complied with the recommendations set by
the NZX Corporate Governance Code (10 December 2020),
except as set out in the Company’s Statement on Reporting
Against the NZX Code, which is available on the Company’s
website (www.argosy.co.nz).
ETHICAL STANDARDS
Argosy’s Code of Conduct and Ethics sets out the ethical and
behavioural standards expected of Argosy’s Directors, Officers
and employees. The purpose of the Code of Conduct and Ethics
is to uphold the highest ethical standards, acting in good faith and
in the best interests of shareholders at all times. The Code of
Conduct and Ethics outlines the Company’s policies in respect of
conflicts of interest, fair dealing, compliance with applicable laws
and regulations, maintaining confidentiality of information,
dealing with company assets and use of company information.
Procedures for dealing with breaches of these policies are
contained in the Code of Conduct and Ethics, which forms part
of each employee’s conditions of employment. Argosy’s Code of
Conduct and Ethics is available on its website
(www.argosy.co.nz).
COMPOSITION OF THE BOARD
Argosy is committed to having a Board whose members have the
capacity to act independently and have the composite skills to
optimise the financial performance of the Company and returns
to shareholders. The constitution provides for there to be not
fewer than three Directors. All the members of the Board are
independent non-executive Directors. The Board does not
impose a restriction on the tenure of any Director as it considers
that such a restriction may lead to the loss of experience and
expertise from the Board.

Jeff Morrison, Stuart McLauchlan, Chris Gudgeon, Mike Pohio,
Rachel Winder and Martin Stearne were Directors as at 31 March
2022. Brief resumés of our current Directors are included in the
section headed “Our Leadership & Governance” on pages 36-37.
INDEPENDENT DIRECTORS
The Company recognises that independent directors are
important in assuring shareholders that the Board is properly
fulfilling its role and is diligent in holding management
accountable for its performance.
In determining whether a Director is independent, the Board
considers whether the Director is independent of management
and free of any business or other relationship that could
materially interfere with, or could reasonably be perceived to
materially interfere with, the exercise of his or her unfettered and
independent judgement. In accordance with Rule 2.6.1 of the NZX
Listing Rules, the Board has determined that all of the Directors
were, in its view, independent directors as at the balance date as
none of them had a disqualifying relationship with the Company.
In making this determination the Company has considered the
factors referred to in the commentary to Recommendation 2.4 of
the NZX Corporate Governance Code.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
BOARD AND DIRECTOR PERFORMANCE
The Boar
d will, regularly, critically evaluate its own performance,
and its own processes and procedures to ensure that they are not
unduly complex and are designed to assist the Board in effectively
fulfilling its role.
INSIDER TRADING AND RESTRICTED PERSONS
TRADING
Argosy’s Directors, Officers and employees, their families and
related parties must comply with the Insider Trading and
Restricted Persons Trading policy. Amongst other requirements,
the policy identifies three ‘black-out periods’ where trading in the
Company’s shares is prohibited (with limited exceptions, such as
a ‘special circumstances’ trading application). The black-out
periods are from the close of trading on 28 February (or
29 February in a leap year) until the day following the full year
announcement date; from the close of trading on 31 August until
the day following the half year announcement date each year; and
30 days prior to release of a product disclosure statement for a
general public offer of Argosy securities.
The black-out periods do not affect ongoing fixed participation in
the Dividend Reinvestment Plan (DRP) which is generally
available throughout the year.
Trading by Directors, Officers, certain employees, and their
associates, requires pre trade approval (with limited exceptions,
such as shares acquired under the DRP). Officers and employees
must obtain approval from any two Directors or a Director and
the Chief Financial Officer and Directors must obtain pre-trade
approval from the Chairman (or in the case of the Chairman, the
Chairman of the Audit and Risk Committee). The holdings of
Directors securities in Argosy are disclosed in the section headed
'Directors' Shareholdings and Bondholdings' on page 86 of this
report. Argosy’s Insider Trading and Restricted Persons Trading
Policy is available on its website (www.argosy.co.nz).
DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS' INDEMNIFICATION
AND INSURANCE
In accordance with section 162 of the Companies Act 1993 and the
constitution of the Company, Argosy has indemnified and insured
its Directors and employees, including Directors and employees
of subsidiaries, in respect of liability incurred for any act or
omission in their capacity as a Director or employee (including
defence costs). The insurer reimburses the company where it has
indemnified the Directors or employees.
BOARD COMMITTEES
Board committees assist with the execution of the Board’s
responsibilities to shareholders. Each committee operates under
a constitution approved by the Board, setting out its role,
responsibilities, authority, relationship with the Board, reporting
requirements, composition, structure and membership. Argosy’s
Board committee constitutions are available on its website
(www.argosy.co.nz).
REMUNERATION COMMITTEE
The Boar
d has established a Remuneration Committee which
considers the remuneration of the Directors and senior
executives and administers the Company’s bonus and incentive
schemes. As at 31 March 2022 Jeff Morrison (Chairman), Stuart
McLauchlan and Martin Stearne were members of the
Committee.
The Committee’s charter, which sets out its responsibilities in
more detail, is available on Argosy’s website (www.argosy.co.nz).

DIRECTORS' REMUNERATION
Dir
ectors' Fees
The current total Directors’ fee pool approved by ordinary
resolution at the Company’s 2021 Annual Meeting is $828,000 per
annum. The approved fee pool includes an unallocated amount of
$100,000 that provides flexibility to remunerate Directors who
assume additional responsibilities (including one-off project
work) from time to time beyond the scope of their usual
responsibilities.
Directors' Remuneration
Remuneration paid to Directors by the Company during the year
is as follows:
DirectorRemuneration
Jeff Morrison (Chair)$184,500
Stuart McLauchlan$117,889
Martin Stearne$109,889
Mike Pohio$105,736
Chris Gudgeon$103,889
Rachel Winder$101,452
The Company considers it desirable to attract and retain high
performing Dir
ectors whose skills and experience are well suited
to the Company’s requirements. To this end, it is important that
the Directors are remunerated appropriately. The Directors’ fees
are presently set as follows:
•
each Director (other than the Chairman) is paid $92,500 per
annum;
•
the Chairman is paid $160,000 per annum; and
•
additional amounts are paid to committee members.
The Audit and Risk Committee Chairman receives $20,000 per
annum and its members each receive $12,000 per annum. The
ESG Committee Chairman receives $15,000 and its members each
receive $10,000 per annum. The Remuneration Committee
Chairman receives $12,500 per annum and its members each
receive $6,000 per annum. The Remuneration Committee
reviews Director remuneration annually and makes
recommendations to the Board. The Board takes advice from
independent remuneration specialists when considering any
proposal to increase the Directors’ fees.
Additional payments may be made from the approved pool of
$828,000 to Directors who assume additional responsibilities
(including in relation to one-off project work) from time to time
beyond the scope of their usual responsibilities. In the year to
31 March 2022, $7,583 in additional payments were made to
members of the Company’s new ESG Committee and the
additional member of the Audit & Risk Committee (2021:
$20,584).
No current or former Director received any other benefits from
Argosy during the year to 31 March 2022 (2021: Nil).

REMUNERATION REPORT
Under the guidance of the Remuneration Committee, the Board
has established a remuneration framework which is designed to
attract, retain and reward individual employees to deliver
premium performance aligned to business objectives, strategy,
shareholder interests and investment performance.
Employee Remuneration
An employee’s remuneration is comprised of the following
components:
•
fixed remuneration;
•
variable or ‘at risk’ components.
The fixed remuneration component (including salary, KiwiSaver
contributions, health and disability benefits and vehicles) is
designed to reward employees for their skills and experience and
the accountability of their role. The variable component is
comprised of a short-term incentive scheme for all permanent
employees and a long-term incentive scheme for eligible senior
executives.
Fixed Remuneration
Fix
ed remuneration is the primary basis for remunerating the
Company’s employees. Each employee’s fixed remuneration is
determined based on their responsibilities, capability,
performance and market benchmarks. Fixed remuneration for
permanent employees is comprised of their base salary and
benefits. Benefits may include:
•
KiwiSaver employer superannuation contributions;
•
life and disability insurance;
•
health insurance; and
•
private use of a company vehicle.
Short Term Incentive Scheme (STI)
The STI is a discretionary variable pay scheme for permanent
employees, designed to reward participants for high performance
and the Company’s success over the financial year.
•
The STI for all employees other than the CEO and CFO is based
on Company and individual performance measures with
stretch performance goals.
•
The Company performance measure is based on specific
annual Company targets, which are linked to the Company’s
strategy and approved by the Board.
•
Individual goals and performance measures are agreed
between each manager and their direct reports, to encourage
outstanding performance.
•
Measures and stretch performance goals are reviewed each
financial year.
•
The value of the STI and its weighting between Company and
individual performance measures each vary depending on the
requirements of each employee’s role.
•
The STI for each of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer is based solely on Company performance.
Long Term Incentive Scheme (LTI)
The Company has established an LTI scheme for senior
executives. The scheme remunerates senior executives for
sustained performance over a three year period. Under the LTI
scheme, the Company may issue performance share rights (PSRs)
to eligible employees each year (currently the Chief Executive
Officer and Chief Financial Officer). Each PSR entitles its holder
to one share in Argosy on its vesting date, subject to meeting LTI
performance measures. Each PSR has a vesting date three years
after commencement of the financial year in which it is issued.
The LTI performance measure is a comparison of the Company’s
Total Shareholder Return (TSR) against the TSR of a comparator
group of listed entities determined by the Board.
•
Comparator entities are chosen from the S&P/NZX All Real
Estate Gross Index.
•
TSRs of the entities in the comparison group over the
performance period (which is three years) will be ranked from
highest to lowest.
84
Annual Report 2022Argosy Property Limited
•
I
f Argosy’s TSR over the performance period exceeds the TSR
of the company ranked at the 50th percentile in the
comparison group, 50% of the PSRs will vest.
•
If Argosy’s TSR over the performance period exceeds the TSR
of the company ranked at the 75th percentile in the comparison
group, 100% of the PSRs will vest.
•
There is a straight line progression and apportionment
between these two points. No shares will vest if the TSR over
the performance period is negative.
318,573 PSRs vested in the year ending 31 March 2022 and a
corresponding number of shares in the Company were issued to
senior executives. These PSRs vested in May 2021 because the
Company’s TSR exceeded the 50th percentile in the comparison
group over the applicable three-year period.
REMUNERATION
Chief Executive's Remuneration
The Chief Executive's remuneration for the year ended 31 March
2022 is outlined below:
Chief Executive's Remuneration
Fixed remuneration and other benefits$710,675
Short Term Incentive$260,000
Long Term Incentive$307,018
Total$1,277,693

PSRs issued under the Company’s LTI scheme which have been
granted but have not yet vested. 203,887 PSRs issued to the Chief
Executive vested during the year to 31 March 2022.
Employee Remuneration
All employees of the Group are employed by Argosy Property
Management Limited. The number of employees or former
employees of the Group, not being Directors of Argosy Property
Limited or the Chief Executive who received remuneration and
any other benefits in their capacity as employees of $100,000 per

INFORMATION USED BY DIRECTORS
N
o Director requested to use information received in his or her

The Company effected insurance for Directors and employees for
liability (including defence costs) arising in respect of acts or

EXTERNAL AUDIT FIRM GUIDELINES
In addition to the formal constitution under which the Audit and
Risk Committee operates, the Audit and Risk Committee also has
an External Auditor Independence Policy containing procedures
to ensure the independence of the Company’s external auditor.
The Audit and Risk Committee is responsible for recommending
the appointment of the external auditor and maintaining
procedures for the rotation of the external audit lead partner.
Under the External Auditor Independence Policy, the external
audit lead partner must be rotated every five years.
The Policy covers provision of non-audit services with the general
principle being that the external auditor should not have any
involvement in the production of financial information or
preparation of financial statements such that they might be
perceived as auditing their own work. It is, however, appropriate
for the external auditor to provide services of due diligence on
proposed transactions and accounting policy advice.
Deloitte is the Company’s current external auditor.

Climate-related
Financial
Disclosures
Building a
better future
TCFD Report 2022
The impact of Argosy’s business on
the natural environment is an
increasingly important consideration
for investors, occupiers and other
stakeholders. Argosy recognises that
an important part of our responsibility
is to identify and assess the risks
presented by climate change, just as
we manage other risks facing our
business. This is Argosy’s second
year of reporting climate related
disclosures based on the TCFD’s
recommendations.
In this report we have added to last year’s reporting by including
disclosures on metrics and targets, reflecting the TCFD’s updated
guidance issued in 2021.
We anticipate that the New Zealand External Reporting Board
(XRB) will issue its climate related disclosure framework during
the current year and that Argosy’s next climate change report will
be based on the XRB’s framework. Based on the XRB’s published
implementation timeframes, it is anticipated that the XRB’s
framework will be mandatory for Argosy in the financial year
commencing 1 April 2023.
This report has been prepared based on the recommendations of
the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD)
which provides a framework for climate-related financial
disclosures across four core elements: governance, strategy,
risk management and metrics and targets.
Overview
2
Argosy Property Limited
TCFD Objective:
Disclose the organisation’s governance
around climate-related risks and
opportunities.
TCFD Requirement:
a) Describe the board’s oversight of climate-
related risks and opportunities.
b) Describe management’s role in assessing
and managing climate-related risks and
opportunities.
a) Describe the board’s oversight of climate-related
risks and opportunities.
Argosy’s Board is responsible for establishing, reviewing and
monitoring processes to identify climate change risks. The
Board’s Audit and Risk and ESG Committees also have specific
responsibilities to assist the Board with governance around
climate related risks.
The Audit and Risk Committee is responsible for overseeing the
management of climate related risks as part of its overall
responsibility for risk management which is implemented
through Argosy’s Risk Management Policy and Framework,
including Argosy’s risk register. The Audit and Risk Committee
oversees the risk register and reviews it regularly with
management. Argosy’s climate related risks are included in the
risk register.
The ESG Committee brings a particular focus to all ESG matters,
which includes considering climate related risks and
opportunities, and ensuring that these are brought to the Board’s
attention. The responsibilities of the ESG Committee are as
follows:
•
Identify and consider ESG matters relevant to the Company
and report to the Board as appropriate.
•
Identify and consider climate change risks arising from
physical risks of climate change and risks arising from the
transition to a low carbon economy.
•
Make recommendations on the Company’s approach to ESG
matters.
•
Oversee implementation of the Company’s Sustainability
Policy and ESG Framework.
•
Review and report to the Board on the Sustainability Policy
and ESG Framework.
•
Review the ESG elements of the Company's annual and
interim financial statements and recommend them to the
Board for approval.
b) Describe management’s role in assessing and
managing climate-related risks and opportunities.
Argosy established a Sustainability Committee in 2019. The
Sustainability Committee reviews climate related risks,
opportunities and initiatives. The Sustainability Committee
meets four times per year and reports to the Board’s ESG
Committee. The membership of the Committee includes, among
others, the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Head
of Sustainability and Environmental Engineer. This provides a
diversity of thought, ensuring that climate related risks and
opportunities are properly identified and considered.
The Sustainability Committee is also represented on the Risk
Management Committee which implement’s the Company’s Risk
Management Framework and reports to the Board’s Audit and
Risk Committee. This ensures that (although not subject to
external audit) risks identified by the Sustainability Committee
are subject to the same level of scrutiny as other types of financial
and non-financial risk.
Governance

Argosy Property Limited
TCFD Report 2022
TCFD Objective:
Disclose the actual and potential impacts of
climate-related risks and opportunities on the
organisation’s businesses, strategy, and
financial planning where such information is
material.
TCFD Requirement:
a) Describe the climate-related risks and
opportunities the organisation has identified
over the short, medium, and long term.
b) Describe the impact of climate-related
risks and opportunities on the organisation’s
businesses, strategy, and financial planning.
c) Describe the resilience of the
organisation’s strategy, taking into
consideration different climate-related
scenarios, including a 2°C or lower scenario.
a) Describe the climate-related risks and
opportunities the organisation has identified over
the short, medium, and long term.
For the purposes of classifying risks and opportunities Argosy has
adopted the TCFD’s classification of physical and transitional
risks and timeframes of within three years for the short term,
within 10 years for the medium term and longer than 10 years for
the long term. Physical and transitional risks are outlined below.
Physical risks
Physical risks are identified in the property strategy for each of
Argosy’s 53 property assets. Argosy considers the nature of the
risks to which its assets could potentially be exposed are:
•
direct damage from inundation or severe weather events in the
long term; and
•
increased temperature causing increased demand on
buildings services in the long term, particularly air-
conditioning; and rising sea levels in the long term.
Rising sea levels could possibly lead to significant asset value
impairment due to coastal storm inundation. Several of Argosy’s
buildings are located close to the waterfront in both Auckland and
Wellington. As a result, the potential for rising sea levels
represents a possible physical risk.
Auckland and Wellington Councils model coastal-storm
inundation from 1 in 100 year events based on current sea level
and a projected sea level rise of up to one metre. This information
indicates that Argosy’s assets will not be materially affected by
coastal storm inundation. These long-term risks remain under
review.
No short or medium-term physical risks have been identified.
Transitional risks
Argosy has identified transitional risks and opportunities based
on assumptions about Government policy and the expectations of
its occupiers, investors and other stakeholders. These include
costs to meet building certification and climate change-related
reporting requirements and potential obsolescence of building
services.
Such transitional risks are expected to arise in the medium to long
term. While these costs represent a risk to affected assets, they
also represent an opportunity to the extent that Argosy can meet
stakeholder requirements. The attention paid to transitional
climate related risks and opportunities by Government,
occupiers, investors and other stakeholders has grown markedly
in recent years and it is expected that in New Zealand these risks
and opportunities will be influenced by the final report issued by
the Climate Change Commission in June 2021 as well as the
Government’s carbon budgets and wider policy response to
climate change.
Argosy is considering the risks and opportunities suggested by the
Commission’s final report issued in June 2021. Argosy expects
that it will be well placed to mitigate risks and benefit from
opportunities.
Strategy
4
Argosy Property Limited
b) Describe the impact of climate-related risks and
opportunities on the organisation’s businesses,
strategy, and financial planning.
Argosy is committed to managing and reducing the impact of its
operations on the environment, including through climate
change. Our environmental strategy reflects our ambition to
address environmental issues by creating well designed, vibrant
and sustainable workplaces for today and into the future. We
believe that green buildings have the potential to provide several
key business benefits including:
•
lower operating costs;
•
higher occupancy;
•
higher value;
•
improved worker productivity and occupant health and well-
being;
•
lower regulatory risk.
Argosy has a sustainability strategy which applies to all areas of
its business. The most observable impact of climate-related risks
has been the drive for Argosy and its stakeholders to obtain
certifications in relation to the refurbishment or construction (i.e.
Green Star ratings) and ongoing operation (i.e. NabersNZ ratings)
of its buildings. These certifications provide evidence of reduced
emissions from Argosy’s buildings in accordance with
internationally recognised standards which help reduce the
carbon footprint of Argosy and its occupiers. This drive toward
green certified buildings is reflected in Argosy’s financial planning
as well as its plans for acquisitions, developments and disposals.
The development of green certified buildings has also provided
Argosy with an opportunity to diversify its funding through Green
Bonds. At the date of this report, Argosy has funding of
$325 million from Green Bonds supported by existing and
planned green certified buildings valued at $607 million.
Argosy does not expect any material effect from physical climate
related risks. However, as noted above, the potential impact of
long-term risks remains under review. Argosy has recently
commissioned natural hazard loss modelling to assess the impact
of physical climate change risks on its portfolio, for insurance
purposes.
c) Describe the resilience of the organisation’s
strategy, taking into consideration different climate-
related scenarios, including a 2°C or lower scenario.
Argosy has a resilient portfolio that is diversified by sector, tenant
and location. This reduces risk to severe climate change induced
events. Argosy does not expect to suffer material direct effects
from a 2°C or lower scenario and considers its portfolio resilient
to physical impacts.
While there is the potential for increased demands on building
services, particularly air-conditioning systems, due to increased
temperatures, Argosy does not expect the increased cost to be
material, particularly as this will likely be mitigated by the
introduction of more efficient technologies to address transitional
risks.
Argosy has been preparing its portfolio of property assets for
progressive certification, starting with the 5 Green Star Office
Built rating obtained for the redevelopment of Te Puni Kōkiri
House at 143 Lambton Quay, Wellington. Since then, Argosy has
obtained Green Star ratings on a further 4 buildings and has
NabersNZ ratings on 4 other buildings. Argosy’s 8-14 Willis
Street/360 Lambton Quay development, which is nearing
completion, will also have a Green Star rating.
Argosy expects that, without any anticipated physical impacts,
and with the progressive certification of buildings in its portfolio,
its business will be resilient to risks from climate change.
However, Argosy will also undertake scenario analysis to identify
and interrogate climate-related risks and opportunities.

Argosy Property Limited
TCFD Report 2022
TCFD Objective:
Disclose how the organisation identifies,
assesses, and manages climate-related
risks.
TCFD Requirement:
a) Describe the organisation’s processes for
identifying and assessing climate-related
risks.
b) Describe the organisation’s processes for
managing climate-related risks.
c) Describe how processes for identifying,
assessing, and managing climate-related
risks are integrated into the organisation’s
overall risk management.
a) Describe the organisation’s processes for
identifying and assessing climate-related risks.
Argosy identifies and assesses climate-related risk through its
Risk Management Policy and Framework as well as
Management’s Sustainability Committee who identify and assess
climate-related risks.
The Sustainability Committee consults with the Property Council
and other industry bodies focused on climate-related policy and
building certification.
Argosy has recently commissioned natural hazard risk modelling
to model the impact of physical climate change risks on its
portfolio, for insurance purposes.
b) Describe the organisation’s processes for
managing climate-related risks.
Argosy considers that material climate-related risk could arise
from transitional risks which may result in a mismatch between
its portfolio and requirements of occupiers, investors and other
stakeholders. To manage these risks Argosy assesses the
suitability of its buildings against the expected requirements of
its stakeholders and makes acquisition, development and
divestment decisions to ensure that buildings in its portfolio are
fit for purpose.
c) Describe how processes for identifying,
assessing, and managing climate-related risks are
integrated into the organisation’s overall risk
management.
Argosy includes climate-related risks in its Risk Register
maintained in accordance with its Risk Management Policy and
Framework which is overseen by the Board’s Audit and Risk
Committee. The composition and structure of Management and
Board Committees (outlined above) ensures that climate-related
risks identified by the Board’s ESG Committee and Management’s
Sustainability Committee (although not subject to external audit)
are scrutinised at the same level as other financial and
nonfinancial risks.
Risk Management
6
Argosy Property Limited
TCFD Objective:
Disclose the metrics and targets used to
assess and manage relevant climate-related
risks and opportunities where such
information is material.
TCFD Requirement:
a) Disclose the metrics used by the
organisation to assess climate related risks
and opportunities in line with its strategy and
risk management process.
b) Disclose Scope 1, Scope 2, and, if
appropriate, Scope 3 greenhouse gas (GHG)
emissions, and the related risks.
c) Describe the targets used by the
organisation to manage climate-related risks
and opportunities and performance against
targets.
a) Disclose the metrics used by the organisation to
assess climate related risks and opportunities in
line with its strategy and risk management process.
Argosy collects and reports on its scope 1, 2 and 3 carbon
emissions.
b) Disclose Scope 1, Scope 2, and, if appropriate,
Scope 3 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and the
related risks.

c) Describe the targets used by the organisation to
manage climate-related risks and opportunities and
performance against targets.
Argosy is exposed to transitional risks arising from emergent
tenant and investor preferences for certified energy efficient
buildings with reduced emissions. As outlined above, Argosy is
managing these risks by obtaining internationally recognised
certifications for its buildings, such as Green Star and NabersNZ
ratings. These certifications provide evidence of energy efficiency
and reduced emissions for Argosy’s buildings.
Obtaining certifications for Argosy’s buildings has also provided
opportunities beyond mitigating transitional risks. These include
attracting tenants who require such certifications and investment
through Argosy’s green bonds.
Argosy itself has received a net carbon zero certification from
Toitū. This reflects tenant and investor expectations of increased
energy efficiency and reduced carbon emissions from Argosy’s
operations.
