DIRECTORS’ REVIEW
CDL INVESTMENTS NEW ZEALAND LIMITED AND ITS SUBSIDIARY – INTERIM REPORT 2022

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 into 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.

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 AND CONTINGENT ASSETS 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.
