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

CHAIRMAN’S REVIEW (PART 1)
ANNUAL MEETING [SLIDE 1]
Good afternoon everyone. My name is Jeff Morrison and I am the Chairman of
Argosy Property Limited. On behalf of my fellow directors and members of the
management team, it is my pleasure to welcome you all to the 2022 annual
meeting of shareholders of Argosy. It is my privilege to be able to chair this meeting
for the second time at the Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron.
Before we get things underway we have a couple of housekeeping matters. In the
unlikely event of an emergency, please evacuate the building using the blue
doors at the eastern exit behind you and assemble in the carpark. The bathrooms
are located behind me next to the main reception area.
This years’ annual meeting is Argosy’s third hybrid annual meeting and its certainly
nice to be hosting a face to face meeting again. Shareholders who are not
attending in person can attend virtually and still ask questions and vote, through
the Computershare online virtual meeting platform. Shareholders can also follow
proceedings via the live webcast.
.2
Today’s meeting will focus on our recent strong FY22 results, our long term strategy
for growth and progress around our sustainability strategy where we have some
exciting projects in the pipeline.
Before we get to that, there are a few procedural differences we need to run
through for our hybrid meeting to run smoothly.
[SLIDE 2]
INSTRUCTIONS FOR WEBCAST PARTICIPANTS
For shareholders participating through the live webcast, polling on the three
resolutions has now opened. Votes can be cast by selecting the polling icon on

webcast portal. We have allocated time to address these at the relevant time in
the meeting, but they can be submitted at any stage.

With those new procedural matters explained, lets get things underway.
I’d like to record that the Notice of the Meeting was duly given on 19 May 2022

As you know Argosy is reporting its results for a second covid disrupted year and on
behalf of your board I would like extend our collective appreciation to the
management team for another job well done.
I would also like to welcome our auditors, Deloitte, our solicitors, Harmos Horton
Lusk, our Registrar, Computershare and our tax advisors, KPMG, to the meeting.
AGENDA [SLIDE 5]
The agenda for this afternoon’s meeting will be as follows:
• As Chairman, I will deliver a review of Argosy’s 2022 results and strategy;

.6

PROXIES
Proxies have been received in respect of 352,475,278 shares and these have
been audited by Deloitte. There are 846,723,895 shares on issue.
CHAIRMAN’S INTRODUCTION [SLIDE 6]
I am really pleased to now present to you a summary of the Company’s
performance for the year ended 31 March 2022. You will have received the 2022
Annual Report and financial statements, either by post or electronically,
depending on your preference.
FY22 ACHIEVEMENTS [SLIDE 7]
The 2022 financial year certainly proved to be an incredibly challenging one and
we’re very pleased with the way management has navigated Argosy through
those challenges.
The 2022 results again reflected a business that continues to demonstrate
resilience.
.7
We delivered strongly on our sustainability and development strategy and the
recent handover of the now completed 8 Willis Street is a great example of this.
We’re targeting a 6 Green Star Built rating here which will certify that the building
has been built to World Leading standards. As a corporate entity, we also
achieved Toitu net carbon zero certification and initiated our emissions reduction
plan.
We also continued to build and maintain strong relationships with tenants, which
was verified through our tenant survey results, and completed new leases with
Government tenants.
Peter will speak to the property and financial achievements in more detail in his
presentation shortly.
We are progressing planning and delivery around our bigger long term strategic
growth drivers with our two large Auckland industrial estate opportunities and our
rejuvenation of older office properties into modern, attractive green buildings to
support our carbon reduction plan of 30% over the next 10 years.
While there are still a few headwinds as we start the 2023 financial year, such as
inflation, interest rates and supply chain disruption which are impacting markets
generally, Argosy’s sound financial and portfolio position provides sees the business
well placed to manage any near term economic volatility.
.8
VISION – BUILDING A BETTER FUTURE [SLIDE 8]
Our vision of building a better future will continue to be underpinned by the three
core pillars of being a green, resilient business owning a quality portfolio diversified
by sector, tenant and location.
Our long term strategy remains focused on;
• reducing our impact on the environment, focusing on our carbon reduction
aspirations, developing more greening buildings and providing better spaces for
tenants and their people;
• engaging more deeply with and making a bigger difference in our communities
we impact on; and
• maintaining the highest levels of corporate behaviour and accountability.
Argosy’s future will be driven by maintaining our leading market position of
rejuvenating and redeveloping existing buildings into green buildings and driving
growth into the attractive Auckland Industrial sector, especially over the medium
term.
In summary, our strategy of creating a green, resilient and diversified business is
about ensuring we can produce measurable and sustainable dividend growth to
shareholders.
.9
STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT [SLIDE 9]
For the year ending 31 March, Argosy implemented sustainability reporting in
accordance with the Global Reporting Initiative, or GRI reporting principles. To
identify the material topics of importance to a wide range of stakeholders, we
engaged EY who undertook interviews with them. We believe this was a very
valuable and important exercise.
As you can see here there are a range of environmental, social and governance
areas which were raised as being material topics for stakeholders. We have taken
the stakeholder feedback on board and we will now report our progress on these
various issues moving forward.
FULL-YEAR DIVIDEND AND FIRST QUARTER ANNOUNCEMENT [SLIDE 10]
The Board was pleased to announce a 2022 full-year cash dividend of 6.55 cents
per share, an increase of 1.6% on the prior year.
Looking ahead, we do start FY23 with a portfolio in good shape and the business in
a very sound capital position with solid foundations for this year and beyond.
We do recognise that with rising interest rates, inflation concerns and unfortunate
events in Europe - there is a lot of global market volatility around that’s having an
impact on share prices.
.10
We remain very focused on delivering measured dividend growth to shareholders.
Accordingly, based on current projections for the portfolio and subject to market
conditions, the Board is pleased to reaffirm our expectations of a full year dividend
of 6.65 cents per share for the 2023 financial year.
I’ll now hand over to Peter who will take you through a review of the business.

CEO’S ADDRESS
CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICERS REVIEW [SLIDE 11]
Thankyou Mr Chairman. As noted earlier, I’ll be taking you through a few more
highlights of the FY22 results in a little more detail before rounding out with an
update of the NZ market as we see things.
KEY FY22 RESULT HIGHLIGHTS [SLIDE 12]
The key highlights are shown here. Net property income was very pleasing in a
challenging year. A good revaluation increase in the second half of the year. Net
profit after tax again was really solid and our NTA was up solidly driven by annual
revaluation gains to $1.74. And finally, we maintained our FY22 dividend of
6.55cps.
PORTFOLIO HIGHLIGHTS [SLIDE 13]
Portfolio remains almost 100% full. Our WALT of 5.7yrs but excludes the Maui Street
acquisition in Hamilton which would add around 0.2 years to that – so the portfolio
WALT is looking good. Annualised rental growth was solid again and we see
additional growth in the Industrial sector and the Albany Mega Centre.
.2
SECTOR SUMMARY [SLIDE 14]
There are some changes across the sectors. Industrial land prices are rising given
scarcity of land. Strong industrial fundamentals means this sector is forecast to be
the best performer over the next five years and there is a potential return of
domestic manufacturing sector. In the office space we have activity at Willis Street
– handed over to Stats NZ. 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 continues
to provide resilience. 360 Lambton Quay t is now 100% leased, with the recent
signing a Crown tenant. 105 Carlton Gore Road underway and tenant inquiry is
strong. The retail sector in our portfolio has gone reasonably well with solid
occupancy.
PORTFOLIO AT A GLANCE [SLIDE 15]
The driver here is the strategic change to the weightings where the Industrial
weighting will increase over the medium term. This will occur as we execute on
strategy and our development programme. This increase comes at the expense of
office and retail bands which are adjusted down slightly to reflect the upweight to
Industrial. By region and asset mix we’re largely within our target bands.
VALUE ADD OPPORTUNITIES [SLIDE 16]
The Bell Ave re-development opportunity is underway. 5 Allens Road in planning
phase and Unity Drive developments largely complete. Mt Richmond and Neilson
Street planning and design phase are progressing well and we’re getting a lot of
interest. These are both to be redeveloped into green industrial estates.
.3
101 Carlton Gore Road will follow on from 105 Carlton Gore Road which is
underway and we’re fielding good tenant enquiry there. Supply chain issues and
forward ordering remains something we need to keep a close eye on and is the
new normal for the time being.
CASE STUDY SLIDES [SLIDE 17]
A value add case study slide here with the Mt Richmond project and as I said
before we have a lot of interest in the site. But really, its a type of project which
really embodies our vision of building a better future for our tenants, their staff, the
environment and of course our stakeholders.
REVALUATIONS [SLIDE 18]
Revaluations were encouraging over the full year, the overall star being Auckland
Industrial. Wellington office also featured with solid demand for seismically sound
property and the projections on the Willis Street development will be under rented
on completion.
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.
DISTRIBUTABLE INCOME [SLIDE 19]
After adjustments, gross distributable income was $67.7 million compared to $71.6
million last year and Net distributable Income was $64.7 million compared to $67.7
million last year. Net distributable income per share was 7.68 cents per share
.4
compared with 8.14 cents per share last year. I would remind shareholders that last
year included the forfeited deposit of $4.5 million from the sale of the Albany
Lifestyle Centre.
AFFO [SLIDE 20]
Adjusted Funds from Operation or AFFO was $48.3 million for the year. Capitalised
leasing costs were lower than last year which included leasing costs for 7WQ and
107 Carlton Gore Road. Maintenance capex was higher due to 7WQ façade
which is now largely complete, and reduced AFFO by $10 million net of tax. Our
audited AFFO payout ratio for the year was 114% but if you adjust for the 7WQ
façade maintenance works net of tax, AFFO was 94%.
DEBT PROFILE INCLUDING BONDS [SLIDE 21]
This slide shows our debt profile including bonds. We refinanced our $455 million
facility during the period, pushing out our tenor and improving our margins. We will
be looking to extend the $80 million tranche which needs to be refinanced by the
end of September. You can also see the benefits our green bonds provide the
business in terms of diversification and tenor. This slide shows our debt to total
assets over the last 5 years – which you can see has been broadly stable and
reflects the timing of asset sales, acquisitions and developments. The weighted
average duration of debt is 3.5 years.
LEASING [SLIDE 22]
Leasing during the year was very positive.
.5
LEASE EXPIRY [SLIDE 23]
Lease expiries for the coming year is about 10% which is pretty normal. The biggest
expiry of these is Parliamentary Services at 147 Lambton Quay. We’re working on
with them on some options.
OUTLOOK / CHALLENGES AHEAD [SLIDE 24]
So, 2023 has its own challenges.
Local and global economies are experiencing rising interest rates and inflation
headwinds. There is construction cost tension together with ongoing global supply
chain pressure. Geopolitically challenges are 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.
Now, I will hand you back to the Chairman.
