CDL INVESTMENTS LOOKING TO OVERCOME “DIFFICULT”

TRADING ENVIRONMENT


NZX-listed property development and investment company CDL Investments New Zealand Limited (NZX:CDI) today

released its (unaudited) results for the six months to 30 June 2022 and reported an operating profit after tax of

$22.90 million (2021: $20.75 million) on revenue of $47.81 million (2021: $61.27 million).


“The last six months have seen a dramatic change in the trading environment”, said CDI’s Chair Colin Sim. “The

irony is that those changes have been caused by external factors totally outside of our control and have nothing to

do with our performance or financial position”, he said.


CDI continued to record sales of its residential sections in Auckland and Canterbury and had also acquired a 4.85

hectare parcel of land in north-east Hamilton in the first half of the year. It also reported completion of one of its

warehousing projects in South Auckland with the second not far from being finished.


“The warehousing projects have been the highlight of the year so far”, said CDI’s new Managing Director Jason

Adams. “They’ve been built on time and to budget and our tenants are thrilled with the end product, as are we”,

he said.


Mr. Adams also said that CDI’s commercial local centre developments in Canterbury were also well occupied and

making an impact in their locations.


“We’re pleased that our local centres in Stonebrook (Rolleston) and Prestons Park have made the impact that we

thought they would in their respective locations and the knowledge we’ve gained here will be used for our future

development projects”, he said.


At our AGM the company said that its target for the full year was to try and match its 2021 performance. This

would not be easy given that the easing property market conditions being experienced now were likely to stay the

same well in to 2023. Interest rate increases, tighter bank mortgage lending criteria, resource and material supply

constraints and abnormally high inflation caused by global pressures will likely continue to be felt well in to 2023.



“It’s a realistic goal but to make that target we will need new sales. This year, those sales will come from Auckland

at Christian Road and from new sales at Prestons Park”, said Mr. Adams.


CDI also noted that the current trading environment might provide opportunities for the company going forward.


“We are not under the same pressures as some other developers and owners and this difficult environment will

present unique opportunities for us. Our investment and development timelines have always been focused on the

medium to long term and the Board has therefore asked Management to position CDI in such a way that it can

benefit from those opportunities should they arise”, said Mr. Sim.

DIRECTORS’ REVIEW

Financial Performance:


For the six month period ending 30 June 2022 CDL Investments New Zealand Limited (“CDI”) can report that it made an unaudited

operating profit after tax of $22.90 million (2021: $20.75 million). Our operating profit before tax was $31.81 million (2021:

$28.82 million).


Property sales and other income for the period was $47.81 million (2021: $61.27 million). Net Asset Backing (at cost) for the

period under review was 104.08 cents per share (2021: 95.95 cents per share).


These results come despite significant downward changes to market conditions seen over the period. The Board is pleased that

CDI has been able to withstand some of the negative sentiment to date but we are also conscious that the current trading

environment will likely continue for some time and this will impact on our full year results to some extent.



Portfolio update:


The first half of 2022 has seen a lot of activity across our portfolio.


CDI settled sales of residential sections in Auckland and Canterbury from its Kewa Road and Prestons Park subdivisions during

the first half of 2022. The settlement of our sale of commercial development land at Jerry Green Street, Wiri (South Auckland) is

also recognised in the results.


We also purchased 4.85 hectares of land in north-east Hamilton adjacent to some of our existing land holdings and this new

holding gives us further economies of scale.


A particular highlight of the last six months has been the progress with our warehousing ‘design and build’ projects in Wiri. The

first was completed in June and is now occupied by our tenant. The second is rapidly nearing completion and on track to be

occupied and operational in the coming weeks. We have been very pleased with both of these projects, neither of which were

badly affected by labour or supply chain delays. The majority of our units at our other commercial local centre developments at

Stonebrook and Prestons Park are also occupied and operational, and our leasing agents are continuing working on tenanting

the remaining units.


We continue to work on the master planning and consent applications for the Iona Block in Havelock North and we expect that

the stage 1 consents will be issued shortly. This will ensure that we are able to commence earthworks in Q4 2022 as planned. In

addition, the stage 2 resource consent application is on track to be lodged end September 2022.



Commentary and Outlook:


Market conditions for the immediate future will be challenging. Interest rate increases, tighter bank mortgage lending criteria

coupled with abnormally high inflation caused by global pressures will doubtless continue to be felt well in to 2023. For this year,

we are aiming to match our 2021 results overall and to ensure that we have prepared the groundwork for sales into 2023. That

will not be an easy task given the current trading environment but we believe that it is a realistic one given our sales performance

to date. We are targeting new sales in Auckland (Christian Road, West Auckland) and in Canterbury (Prestons Park) to deliver

those results.


At the same time, those market factors will put additional pressure on highly-leveraged developers and owners who will be

looking to offload land or other property holdings. CDI is not under that kind of financial pressure and will be actively positioning

itself to use its resources to take advantage of suitable opportunities should they arise.

1. Significant Accounting Policies


Reporting Entity

the Companies Act 1993 and listed on the New Zealand Stock Exchange. The Company is a FMC Reporting Entity in

terms of the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013 and the Financial Reporting Act 2013.


The condensed interim financial statements of the Company as at and for the half year ended 30 June 2022

comprises the Company and its subsidiary (together referred to as the “Group”).


The principal activity of the Group is the development and sale of residential land properties.


(a) Statement of compliance

The condensed interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with New Zealand Generally

Accepted Accounting Practice (“NZ GAAP”). They comply with NZ IAS 34

Interim Financial Reporting. The

condensed interim financial statements do not include all of the information required for full annual financial

statements.


The accounting policies applied by the Group in these condensed financial statements are the same as those

applied by the Group in its consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2021.


The condensed interim financial statements were authorised for issuance on 10 August 2022.


2. Capital & Reserves


Share Capital

Under the Company’s Dividend Reinvestment Plan, an additional 1,294,674 shares were issued on 13 May 2022

(2021: 7 ,077,888) at a strike price of $1.0624 (2021: $ 1.1020).


At 30 June 2022, the authorised share capital consisted of 288,807,697 fully paid ordinary shares (2021:

287,513,023).


Dividends

The following dividends were declared and paid during the period ending 30 June:

In thousands of dollars 2022 2021

3.5 cents per qualifying ordinary share (2021: 3.5 cents) 10,063 9,815

10,063 9,815


3. Earnings Per Share


The calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share at 30 June 2022 of 7.94 cents (2021: 7.28 cents) was based

on the profit attributable to ordinary shareholders of $22,899,000 (2021: $20,753,000); and weighted average number

of shares of 288,376,139 (2021: 2 85,153,727) on issue in the period.


4. Segment Reporting


Operating segments

The major operating segment of the Group consists of property operations, comprising the development and sale of

residential land sections. The revenue from investment property for the current period is only $84,000 and therefore

is not significant enough to justify a separate segmental disclosure.


The Group has determined that its chief operating decision maker is the Board of Directors on the basis that it is this

group which determines the allocation of resources to segments and assesses their performance.


Geographical segments

Segment revenue is based on the geographical location of the segment assets. All segment revenues are derived

in New Zealand.


Segment assets are based on the geographical location of the development property. All segment assets are

located in New Zealand. The Group has no major customer representing greater than 10% of the Group’s total

revenues.

5. Material Events Subsequent to the end of the Interim Period


There were no material events subsequent to the end of the six month period ended 30 June 2022 (2021: Nil) that

would require disclosure.


6. Changes in Contingent Liabilities since last Annual Balance Sheet Date


The Group has been named as respondents in a judicial review proceeding which was brought by the Applicant,

Winton Property Investments Limited, in relation to a decision of the Overseas Investment Office relating to the

Group’s acquisition of land in Havelock North. The Applicant was seeking, inter alia, an order setting aside the

decision of the Overseas Investment Office in respect of the approval and/or a declaration that Ministers erred at law

in making their decision to grant consent. The proceedings, which were advised to the market on 21 July 2021, were

heard in February 2022 and a decision in favour of the respondents was handed down at the end of March 2022. The

Applicant has now filed a notice of appeal and a hearing has been set down for May 2023 at this stage. The Group

will continue to vigorously defend its position and still considers the likelihood of the applicant being successful as

low. It is not possible to determine what the financial effect would be, if any, should the application be successful.


7. Related Party Transactions
