Letter from the
Chair & Chief
Executive Officer
Kiwi Property maintained
significant momentum through
the first half of the 2023 financial
year, navigating the challenging
economic climate to deliver
sustained growth in key metrics
such as sales, rental income,
operating profit and adjusted funds
from operations. This is a positive
outcome in the high inflation, rising
interest rate environment and
underscores the strength of our
business and assets.
Our strategic evolution from a
retail and office landlord to the
creator of connected communities
continues to progress well. While
this transition will take time, it is
pleasing to have sustained our
robust operating performance
over the past six months, while
taking the business closer to our
goal of becoming a developer,
owner and operator of mixed-use
assets at key metropolitan centres
and transport hubs.
Kia ora,
Kiwi Property
Interim Report FY23

Performance overview
Kiwi Property’s net rental income
rose 6.3% to a record-high $100
million in the first half of the 2023
financial year, driven by sustained
revenue growth at Sylvia Park, in
particular. Operating profit before
tax was also up, increasing 4.2% to
$65.1 million, reflecting the strong
performance of our diversified
asset portfolio. Adjusted funds
from operations rose 35.8% to
$65.2 million, assisted by the
release of COVID-19 rental
abatement accruals which
were not required.
Our active leasing and re-mixing
programme drove increases
in both rent reviews and new
leasing, which rose 5.2% and
4.1% respectively. With portfolio
vacancy remaining at just 0.3%
and our specialty gross occupancy
cost ratio (a key measure of
tenancy affordability) sitting at
a conservative 12.1%, we’re well
placed to deliver further rental
growth going forward.
The sales performance across
Kiwi Property’s asset base was
similarly robust, increasing 9.6%
from the prior comparable period.
The number of shoppers visiting
our mixed-use and retail centres
is recovering well from the impact
of COVID-19, with year-to-date
pedestrian counts at Sylvia Park,
for example, now broadly in line
with pre-pandemic levels.
Despite this positive operational
performance, there’s no doubt
we’re operating in a volatile
economic environment. Countries
around the world have been
Operating profit before tax
$
65.1
m
contending with rising inflation,
worker shortages and the
fallout from the war in Ukraine.
New Zealand is no exception,
with the Reserve Bank recently
lifting interest rates to a 13 year
high in a bid to curtail rapid price
growth. These definitive moves
have had a material impact on the
country’s listed property sector,
contributing to an across-the-
board decrease in share prices,
and a decline in asset values.
In the absence of relevant
transactional evidence, valuers
have responded to the volatile
macro-economic climate by
softening capitalisation rates. As a
result, the fair value of our property
portfolio decreased by an
unrealised 5.8% or $213.3 million
for the six months ended 30
September 2022, leading to a
subsequent net loss after tax of
$151.1 million.
While the reduction in the fair
value of our property portfolio and
subsequent impact on net profit is
disappointing, it’s not unexpected
given the well documented
challenges facing the global
economy. By actively managing
our properties and tightly
managing costs, we will help
accelerate the recovery of our
asset values as the financial
climate improves.

Mitigating disruption
and volatility
In the wake of COVID-19, tenants
are making a discernible flight to
quality, as they re-evaluate their
requirements for the post-
pandemic world. In the retail
space, the rate of bifurcation
has accelerated, with the best
shopping centres going from
strength-to-strength. A similar
trend can be seen in the office
market, where prime and A-grade
buildings are remaining highly
resilient, while secondary
assets face eroding rents
and rising vacancy.
This flight to quality plays well to
our strategy and asset portfolio,
which boasts some of the
country’s leading property assets.
As our rent and sales figures show,
Kiwi Property’s medium-term
operational performance has
not diminished by COVID-19,
but rather, we have continued
to grow income and adjusted
funds from operations.
One of Kiwi Property’s strengths
is its large strategic landholding,
including more than 125 hectares
across our mixed-use assets at
Sylvia Park, LynnMall, The Base
and Drury. As we’ve discussed
previously, this landholding creates
a distinct competitive advantage
and provides an extensive range
of development options as we
progress our strategy of creating
mixed-use town centres.
Just as importantly, particularly
in the current volatile environment,
is the flexibility the landholding
offers us to dictate the timing of
our development programme.
We are the masters of our own
destiny and can speed up or slow
down development according to
market conditions, and funding.
We currently have around
$217 million of development
expenditure remaining at 3 Te
Kehu Way and Sylvia Park
build-to-rent and are proactively
managing pricing to help mitigate
the risk of potential increases.
While we’ve got some exciting
developments already underway,
we’ll maintain a cautious approach
to the timing of further activity,
given the current level of
economic volatility. Our priority is
to ensure the right financial
conditions and suitable funding
are in place before any new
construction projects begin so
we’re making the best use of
shareholder capital.
Unlocking value through
targeted development
Kiwi Property made significant
progress on its targeted
development programmes in the
first half of the 2023 financial year,
bringing Sylvia Park’s
transformation into a world-class
mixed-use community ever closer
to fruition. Construction of the
precinct’s 295 build-to-rent
apartment complex is moving
forward at pace with the steel
superstructure now up to three
levels high in some places. This
exciting project will help embed
Kiwi Property as a leader in the
asset class in New Zealand and
put us in the driver’s seat to
capture the financial benefit we
believe will be delivered.
Elsewhere at Sylvia Park, the new
six-level medical and office
development at 3 Te Kehu Way is
moving forward with similar
momentum. The building’s exterior
is now complete, with its
innovative and distinctive design
already becoming a prominent
feature on the Mt Wellington
landscape. Internal fitouts are now
underway, and 3 Te Kehu Way is
on track to be completed in the
first quarter of 2023, marking the
next step towards the creation of a
thriving commercial precinct at
Sylvia Park.
Around two thirds of 3 Te Kehu
Way’s net lettable area is either
committed or subject to advanced
negotiations, with an impressive
line-up of tenants in place
including Tamaki Health, Horizon
Radiology, Geneva Finance and
co-working operator, IWG.
With our Drury Private Plan
Change recently approved by the
Environment Court, stage one
earthworks are now underway,
marking the next step in Kiwi
Property’s ambition to create a six
Green Star, transit-oriented
community south of Auckland. The
earthworks are expected to take
two years, with civil infrastructure
such as roads, sewers, water
mains and electricity set to follow.
Pleasingly, the improvement of our
Drury site has delivered substantial
valuation gains, with the
landholding now worth more than
double the purchase price. This
places us in a position to unlock
additional value if we choose to
subdivide our residential
landholding into super-lots, for
example. While Drury presents an
exciting opportunity for Kiwi
Property, we’ll be pragmatic about
the rate of development there,
moving as fast or slow as the
economic climate and funding
allow to ensure we’re delivering the
best outcomes for shareholders.
Executing our funding
strategy
In September, the company
announced the disposal for
Northlands Shopping Centre in
Christchurch for $151 million (net
of seismic costs), with settlement
set for 30 November 2022. After
the reporting period, we also sold
44 The Terrace in Wellington for
$48 million (with $2 million retained
for seismic costs). The transaction is
expected to settle on 15 December
2022 and delivers a property level
return of 12.2% since inception.

In parallel, we have recently listed
Westgate Lifestyle for sale, with a
marketing campaign now
underway. The net proceeds from
these transactions will be used to
repay debt and help fund our
development pipeline, unlocking
what we believe will be better
growth and greater long-term
value for shareholders.
The disposal of our non-core
assets and subsequent recycling
of capital is a central pillar of
our funding strategy. We’re
focussed on executing these
transactions at the right time to
manage the earnings impact and
achieve optimal returns from
each initiative. Work on the office
co-investment platform continues,
although progress has been
slowed by the economic climate,
with investors waiting for a
normalisation of conditions
before taking steps forward.
Active capital
management
Kiwi Property undertook several
capital management initiatives in
the first half of the 2023 financial
year, including increasing our
bank debt facilities by $100 million,
with the introduction of MUFG
Bank Limited to our panel.
Post 30 September 2022, we
increased our facilities by a further
$50 million and extended the
company’s weighted term of debt
from 2.9 years to 4.1 years on a
pro-forma basis.
Dividend and outlook
Despite the challenging macro-
economic picture, Kiwi Property’s
performance exceeded
expectations for the first half of the
financial year. We recently
amended our dividend policy to
pay out on a quarterly, rather than
semi-annual basis, providing our
investors with more frequent
distributions. The first quarter
dividend of 1.425 cents per share
was distributed on 21 September
2022, with the dividend for the
subsequent quarter also being set
at 1.425 cents per share and
payable on 21 December 2022.
We’re pleased to confirm dividend
guidance at 5.70 cents per share
for the 2023 financial year,
representing an attractive gross
dividend yield of 9.3% (based on
Kiwi Property’s closing share price
on 25 November 2022), while
simultaneously enabling the
company to retain earnings to fund
future development and
growth opportunities.
While we’re encouraged by our
robust operating performance,
strong cash flows and strategic
evolution, the continued discount
of our stock price relative to asset
values is disappointing and
something we’re squarely
focussed on. It’s clear the broader
operating environment is
negatively impacting our share
price, however despite these
challenges we remain staunchly
committed to creating value.
As we face the current economic
headwinds, we will maintain a
strict focus on costs, adopt a
pragmatic approach to
development, continue to execute
our mixed-use strategy, and work
diligently to drive returns for you,
our shareholders.
Thank you for your
continued support.

Deferred tax on depreciation
Deferred tax is provided in respect of depreciation expected to be recovered on the sale of investment properties at fair value.
Investment properties are valued at least once each year by independent valuers. These values include an allocation of the
valuation between the land and building components. The calculation of deferred tax on depreciation recovered relies on this
allocation provided by the valuers.
The calculation of deferred tax on depreciation recovered also requires an assessment to be made of market values attributable
to fixtures and fittings. The market values of fixtures and fittings for significant properties have been assessed utilising
independent valuation advice and the remaining properties have been assessed with reference to previous transactional
evidence and their age and quality.

Key estimates and assumptions: provision for doubtful debts
The Group’s property revenue largely consists of fixed rental obligations due under lease agreements, which are received
monthly in advance. Therefore, property revenue and the assessment of the recoverability of tenant debtors have not been
subject to a significant level of judgement or estimation prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. Retail trade was unfavourably
impacted by COVID-19 due to extended lockdown periods in the year ended 31 March 2022. As a result, the trade debtor
balance at this time was relatively high compared to pre-pandemic levels. Judgement is required in determining allowances
for expected credit losses on these receivables.

Key estimates and assumptions: valuation and fair value measurement of investment properties
Introduction
All of the Group's investment properties have been determined to be Level 3 (31 March 2022: Level 3) in the fair value hierarchy
because all significant inputs that determine fair value are not based on observable market data.
Valuation process
The investment properties in the Group's mixed-use (excluding the adjoining properties located at Sylvia Park) and office
portfolios, as well as Centre Place North, The Plaza and Westgate Lifestyle were externally valued as at 30 September 2022.
All valuations are prepared by independent valuers who are members of the Group's valuation panel and the New Zealand
Institute of Valuers. Properties acquired during the period are presented at cost, plus related directly attributable costs of
acquisition. Other adjoining properties and development land are presented at their 31 March 2022 independent valuations,
adjusted for capital expenditure over the period as appropriate. This represents the Directors’ best estimate of fair value at
30 September 2022. Where a contracted sale price is available, the investment property held for sale is carried at that value less
associated costs for seismic remediation or rental guarantees, this being the best indicator of fair value. Where no contracted
price is available, the fair value is determined by independent registered valuers. At 31 March 2022, all properties were carried
at external valuation or contract price as applicable.
Investment property values are assessed within a range indicated by at least two valuation approaches; most commonly
the income capitalisation approach and discounted cash flow approach. Other valuation approaches, including the sales
comparison approach or deferred land value approach may be used depending on the nature of the property. In addition, the
adopted valuation of an investment property undergoing development may be assessed using a residual approach. Valuation
techniques are outlined in the 2022 consolidated financial statements.
Estimates are used in these valuation approaches to determine fair value. For the two most common approaches, these include
the capitalisation rate in the income capitalisation approach and the discount rate in the discounted cash flow approach. Both
approaches are also influenced by other estimates relating to market rental levels, vacancy rates, letting-up allowances and the
cost of ongoing operating expenses, capital expenditure and other capital payments.
In relation to capital expenditure, the valuers for Sylvia Park, LynnMall, The Base, Vero Centre, ASB North Wharf, The Aurora
Centre, 44 The Terrace and The Plaza have made deductions for seismic strengthening works. The valuer of Centre Place North
has assessed the seismic risk of the asset in the capitalisation rate of the valuation. The Group has provided the valuers with
the estimated cost of works for each asset. In some instances the valuer has assessed additional costs for potential works to
buildings which have not been subject to a Detailed Seismic Assessment (DSA) and/or made additional adjustments such as
for escalation and profit and risk.
The timing of the cash outflow for these costs has typically been spread over the next two to three years and the overall value
deduction reflects the present value of costs over the adopted time horizon. Refer also to the section titled ‘seismic uncertainty’
below for further information.
Two assets within the Sylvia Park Precinct were valued using the residual approach as at 30 September 2022, being the Sylvia
Park build-to-rent (BTR) and 3 Te Kehu Way properties, as the development of both of these properties has commenced with
construction underway. Under the residual approach, valuers estimate the ‘as if complete’ value of an asset using the common
investment valuation approaches described above. They then deduct remaining project costs and a typical profit margin for
risks assumed by the developer to determine the asset’s ‘as is’ or residual value.
The valuations are reviewed by the Group and adopted as the carrying value in the financial statements. As part of this process,
the Group’s management verifies all major inputs to the valuations, assesses valuation movements since the previous period
and holds discussions with the independent valuers to assess the reasonableness of the valuations.

3.2 Investment properties (continued)
Valuation uncertainty
The direct impacts of COVID-19 on the wider commercial property market have now largely ceased. However, the property
market is now being impacted by global macro-economic conditions, including amongst other things, high levels of inflation,
rising interest rates, ongoing supply chain issues (although supply chain issues appear to be subsiding) and the economic
fallout from geopolitical events in Ukraine.
While the levels of transaction activity and market confidence increased throughout 2021, more recently there has been a
marked slowdown in investment activity as a result of rapidly rising interest rates and uncertainty around the pace at which
inflation may return to targeted levels. Longer-term interest rates have been particularly volatile and a number of market
participants that were active through 2021 and early 2022 are now largely inactive. We expect levels of transactional activity to
remain low until economic conditions stabilise.
As a consequence, there is becoming an apparent gap between purchaser and vendor expectations. While the market remains
in this state, without a body of current transactional evidence, there is an increased level of uncertainty around property
valuations which is generally being reflected through an expansion of capitalisation rates and discount rates.
Seismic uncertainty
The Group is committed to upgrading the seismic resilience of its buildings to appropriate New Building Standards (NBS).
Detailed Seismic Assessments (DSA) continue to be undertaken for the Group’s buildings. A DSA verifies a building’s NBS rating
and assists in the design of remediation solutions, where required.
The cost assessments for seismic works required to increase NBS ratings contain uncertainty. The level of accuracy of design
solutions and cost estimates can vary as the design and remediation process progresses. Initially, estimates may be based
on the structural plans of a building, which can sometimes change significantly once more intrusive building investigations
are carried out. Therefore, costs for remediation works may fluctuate, and the costs associated with current or imminent
remediation works will be more accurate than those for a project in the early phases of investigation or planning.
The process undertaken and standards which are applied in seismic assessments evolve over time as the engineering
profession’s understanding of seismic events develops. This means that the outcome of seismic assessments may be subject
to change over time. Changes to seismic standards (or the interpretation and application of existing seismic standards) could
result in buildings no longer meeting the minimum seismic standards deemed appropriate by the Group, and may require the
Group to undertake further seismic remediation works.
Valuations for some of the Group’s buildings contain deductions for costs associated with identified seismic remediation works.
The cost deductions are typically based on external quantity surveyor assessments with additional allowances for professional
fees and other associated costs. In some instances the valuer has assessed additional costs for potential works to buildings
which have not been subject to a DSA and/or made additional adjustments such as for escalation and profit and risk.
In some cases the Group has become aware of potential remediation requirements from recent preliminary investigations and
in these instances the Group has provided general provisions of $51.3 million to the valuers for inclusion in the valuations. These
provisions are high level allowances pending the outcome of further investigations.
These allowances are based on the best information available at the time of valuation but may be subject to change as
circumstances and standards continue to evolve.
Climate change uncertainty
The Group continues to identify the impact of climate change on the business and its assets. The valuers made no explicit
adjustments in respect of climate change matters. However, the Group and valuers anticipate that climate change could have
a greater influence on valuations in the future as investment markets place a greater emphasis on this risk and its impacts.

3.2 Investment properties (continued)
Impact on values at 30 September 2022
For the period ended 30 September 2022 the Group reported a fair value loss of $213.3 million. The loss reflects expanding
capitalisation rates and discount rates on the back of heightened investment uncertainty relative to the prior period, as well as
additional allowances for potential seismic remediation costs.
Valuation inputs
A valuation is determined based on a range of unobservable inputs. These are unobservable as they are not freely available or
explicit in the marketplace but rather analysed from transactional data that has taken place in similar market circumstances to
that prevailing at the date of valuation.
The Group’s investment property values contain unobservable inputs in determining fair value, some of which can be described
as ‘key unobservable inputs’ where significant judgement is applied in determining the input and a change to any one of these
inputs could significantly alter the fair value of an investment property.
Key unobservable inputs are the capitalisation rate, discount rate, terminal capitalisation rate, market rent and growth rates.
The table below sets out these key unobservable inputs and the ranges adopted by the valuers across the various properties
making up the Group’s mixed-use and office portfolios.
While values increased at March 2022 following the reversal of early impacts of COVID-19 and a general strengthening in
metrics from 2021 to 2022, this trend has now started to reverse following rising interest rates locally and globally. This is mainly
evident through the capitalisation rate and discount rate metrics, which have expanded, having an effect of decreasing the fair
value despite increased market rents.

Valuation sensitivity
A sensitivity analysis that shows how a change to capitalisation and discount rates affects the value of the Group’s portfolio is provided
below. The metrics chosen are those single-value inputs where movements are likely to have the most significant impact on the fair
value of investment properties.
The capitalisation rate relates to the income capitalisation approach and the discount rate relates to the discounted cash flow
approach. Generally, a change in the capitalisation rate is accompanied by a directionally similar change in the discount rate, with a
reduction increasing a property's valuation and an increase decreasing a property's valuation. The table below assesses each of these
inputs in isolation and assumes all other inputs are held constant.

Key estimate: fair value of interest rate derivatives
The fair values of interest rate derivatives are determined from valuations prepared by an independent treasury advisor
using valuation techniques classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy (31 March 2022: Level 2). These are based on the
present value of estimated future cash flows based on the terms and maturities of each contract and the current market
interest rates at balance date. Fair values also reflect the current creditworthiness of the derivative counterparties. These
values are verified against valuations prepared by the respective counterparties. The valuations were based on market rates
at 30 September 2022 of between 3.85% for the 90-day BKBM and 4.51% for the 10-year swap rate (31 March 2022: 1.53% and
3.38%, respectively).

Report on the interim consolidated financial statements
Our conclusion
We have reviewed the interim consolidated financial statements
of Kiwi Property Group Limited (the Company) and its controlled
entities (the Group), which comprise the consolidated
statement of financial position as at 30 September 2022,
and the consolidated statement of comprehensive income,
the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the
consolidated statement of cash flows for the six month period
ended on that date, and significant accounting policies and
other explanatory information.
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention
that causes us to believe that the accompanying interim
consolidated financial statements of the Group do not present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Group
as at 30 September 2022, and its financial performance and
cash flows for the six month period then ended, in accordance
with International Accounting Standard 34 Interim Financial
Reporting (IAS 34) and New Zealand Equivalent to International
Accounting Standard 34 Interim Financial Reporting (NZ IAS 34).
Basis for conclusion
We conducted our review in accordance with the New Zealand
Standard on Review Engagements 2410 (Revised) Review of
Financial Statements Performed by the Independent Auditor of
the Entity (NZ SRE 2410 (Revised)). Our responsibility is further
described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the review of the
interim consolidated financial statements section of our report.
We are independent of the Group in accordance with the
relevant ethical requirements in New Zealand relating to the
audit of the annual financial statements, and we have fulfilled
our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these
ethical requirements. In addition to our role as auditor, our
firm carries out other services for the Group in the areas of
audits of special purpose financial information in accordance
with tenancy agreements and agreed upon procedures in
respect of a specified remuneration metric and apportionment
statement. The provision of these other services has not
impaired our independence.
Directors' responsibility for the interim consolidated
financial statements
The Directors of the Company are responsible on behalf of the
Company for the preparation and fair presentation of these
interim consolidated financial statements in accordance with
IAS 34 and NZ IAS 34 and for such internal control as the
Directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation
and fair presentation of the interim consolidated financial
statements that are free from material misstatement, whether
due to fraud or error.
Auditor’s responsibilities for the review of the interim
consolidated financial statements
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the interim
consolidated financial statements based on our review. NZ SRE
2410 (Revised) requires us to conclude whether anything has
come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim
consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, are not
prepared in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34 and
NZ IAS 34.
A review of interim consolidated financial statements in
accordance with NZ SRE 2410 (Revised) is a limited assurance
engagement. We perform procedures, primarily consisting
of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for
financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical
and other review procedures. The procedures performed in
a review are substantially less than those performed in an
audit conducted in accordance with International Standards
on Auditing and International Standards on Auditing (New
Zealand) and consequently does not enable us to obtain
assurance that we might identify in an audit. Accordingly, we
do not express an audit opinion on these interim consolidated
financial statements.
Who we report to
This report is made solely to the Company’s shareholders, as a
body. Our review work has been undertaken so that we might
state those matters which we are required to state to them in
our review report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent
permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility
to anyone other than the shareholders, as a body, for our
review procedures, for this report, or for the conclusion we
have formed.
The engagement partner on the review resulting in this
independent auditor’s review report is Karen Shires.

NZX RELEASE
28 November 2022
Kiwi Property drives robust operating result in 1H23
• Net rental income: $100.0m (+6.3%)
• Operating profit before tax: $65.1m (+4.2%)
• Net loss after tax: $151.1m (-205.5%)
• Adjusted funds from operations: $65.2m (+ 35.8%)
• Net tangible assets per share: $1.31 (-14 cps)
• Q2 dividend: 1.425cps (1H23 dividend: 2.85cps (+ 3.6%)
Kiwi Property today released its financial results for the six months ended 30 September
2022, with the company continuing its record of operational delivery, despite the
challenging macro-economic conditions. The results highlight the strong performance
of the company’s property portfolio and the opportunities created by its strategic
evolution into a creator of mixed-use communities at key metropolitan centres and
transport hubs.
Net rental income rose 6.3% to a record-high $100 million in the first half of the 2023
financial year, driven by sustained revenue growth at Sylvia Park, in particular.
Operating profit before tax was also up, increasing 4.2% to $65.1 million, while adjusted
funds from operations rose 35.8% to $65.2 million, assisted by the release of COVID-19
rental abatement accruals which were not required.
The company’s active leasing and re-mixing programme drove an uplift in both rent
reviews and new leasing, which rose 5.2% and 4.1% respectively. Portfolio vacancy
remained at just 0.3%, while Kiwi Property’s specialty gross occupancy cost ratio (a key
measure of tenancy affordability) was a conservative 12.1% at 30 September 2022,
providing scope for the company to deliver further rental growth going forward.
The sales performance across Kiwi Property’s asset base was robust, increasing 9.6%
from the prior comparable period. The number of shoppers visiting the company’s
mixed-use and retail centres is recovering well from the impact of COVID-19, with year-
to -date pedestrian counts at Sylvia Park, for example, now broadly in line with pre-
pandemic levels.
In the absence of relevant transactional evidence, valuers have responded to the
current high inflation, rising interest rate economic climate by softening property
capitalisation rates. As a result, the fair value of Kiwi Property’s property portfolio
decreased by an unrealised 5.8% or $213.3 million for the six months ended 30
September 2022, leading to a net loss after tax of $151.1 million.
Kiwi Property Chief Executive Officer, Clive Mackenzie, said “ while the reduction in the
value of our property portfolio and subsequent impact on net profit is disappointing, it’s
not unexpected given the well documented challenges facing the global economy. By
actively managing our properties, tightly managing costs and delivering on our mixed-
use strategy, we will help accelerate the recovery of our asset values as the financial
climate improves.”
2
“The evolution of our business from a retail and office landlord to the creator of
connected communities continues to gain momentum. While this transition will take
time, we’re well advanced on our goal of becoming a developer, owner and operator
of world-class mixed-use assets.”
Unlocking value through targeted development
Kiwi Property made good progress on its targeted development programme in the first
half of the 2023 financial year. Construction of Sylvia Park’s 295 build-to -rent apartment
complex is moving forward at pace with the steel superstructure now up to three levels
high. This project will help embed Kiwi Property as a leader in the asset class in New
Zealand.
Elsewhere at Sylvia Park, the new six-level medical and office development at 3 Te
Kehu Way is moving forward with similar momentum. The building’s exterior is now
complete and internal fitouts are taking place, with the development on track to be
completed in the first quarter of 2023. Around two thirds of 3 Te Kehu Way’s net lettable
area is either committed or subject to advanced negotiations, with an impressive line-
up of tenants in place including Tamaki Health, Horizon Radiology, Geneva Finance
and co-working operator, IWG.
Kiwi Property recently received approval from the Environment Court for its Drury Private
Plan Change application and stage one earthworks are underway, marking the next
step in the company’s ambition to create a six Green Star, transit-oriented community
south of Auckland. The earthworks are expected to take two years, with civil
infrastructure such as roads, sewers, water mains and electricity set to follow.
“The improvement of our site has delivered substantial valuation gains, with the
landholding now worth more than double the purchase price. This places us in a
position to unlock additional value, if we choose to subdivide our residential
landholding into super-lots, for example. Drury presents an exciting opportunity however
we’ll be pragmatic about the rate of development there, moving as fast or slow as the
economic climate and funding allow,” said Mackenzie.
Strategic funding and capital management
Kiwi Property today announced the unconditional sale of 44 The Terrace in Wellington
for $48 million (with $2 million retained for seismic costs). The transaction is expected to
settle on 15 December 2022 and delivers a property level return of 12.2% since
inception. The successful sale builds on the recent disposal of Northlands Shopping
Centre for $151 million (net of seismic costs), which is due to settle on 30 November.
Together, these transactions reduce the company’s pro-forma gearing to
approximately 32%, down from 35.7% a t the end of the period.
“The sale of our non-core properties and subsequent recycling of capital is a central
pillar of our funding strategy. The proceeds from these transactions will be used to
repay debt and help fund our development pipeline, unlocking what we believe will be
better growth and greater long-term value for shareholders,” said Mackenzie.
3
Kiwi Property’s large strategic landholding, including more than 125 hectares across its
mixed-use assets at Sylvia Park, LynnMall, The Base and Drury, is an area of strength for
the company. This portfolio not only provides a range of development options but also
gives Kiwi Property the flexibility to speed up or slow down its construction programme
to optimise returns.
Kiwi Property currently has approximately $217 million of development expenditure
remaining at 3 Te Kehu Way and Sylvia Park build-to -rent and is proactively managing
pricing to help mitigate the risk of potential increases.
“We have some exciting developments already underway, however we’ll maintain a
cautious approach to the timing of further activity, given the current level of economic
volatility. Our priority is to ensure the right financial conditions and suitable funding are
in place before any new construction projects begin.”
Kiwi Property undertook several capital management initiatives in the first half of the
2023 financial year, including increasing its bank debt facilities by $100 million, with the
introduction of MUFG Bank Limited to its panel. Post 30 September 2022, the company
increased its facilities by a further $50 million and extended its weighted term of debt
from 2.9 years to 4.1 years on a pro-forma basis.
Dividend and full-year guidance
Kiwi Property will pay a cash dividend of 1.425 cents per share for the second quarter
on 21 December 2022, having previously distributed a first quarter dividend of 1.425
cents per share on 21 September 2022.
The company today confirmed its dividend guidance at 5.70 cents per share for the
2023 financial year
1
, representing an attractive gross dividend yield of 9.3%
2
while
simultaneously enabling the company to retain earnings to fund future development
and growth opportunities.
Driving returns through FY23 and beyond
Kiwi Property Chair, Mark Ford, said “while we’re pleased to have achieved another
robust operating performance and strong cashflows, the continued discount of our
stock price relative to asset values is disappointing and something we’re squarely
focussed on.
“As we face the current economic headwinds, we will maintain a strict focus on costs,
adopt a pragmatic approach to development, continue to execute our
transformational strategy, and work diligently to drive returns for our investors,” Ford
concluded.
