Why is NZL Without Parallel?
A perfect combination of advantages

• A rapidly growing global population, food demand and a decrease in available productive

land means rural land is increasingly a more attractive investment and this scarce and critical food

production infrastructure has demonstrated consistent positive returns over time.

• New Zealand has the most productive agricultural land in the world. Water, soils, space and

climate come together to deliver world-leading low-cost production and carbon efficiency.

• NZL invests in land, not farm operations. There is no direct exposure to operational,

environmental or commodity price risks.

• NZL currently owns 11,710 hectares (28,963 acres) of high quality productive rural land in

New Zealand and leases it, long term.

• NZL is the only pure-play, NZX-listed exposure to agricultural land in New Zealand. As such NZL

provides investors with a liquid and inflation-hedged investment.

• For overseas investors NZL is one of the only ways they can gain exposure to New Zealand

agricultural land.

• NZL shareholders receive twice-yearly dividends plus growth in land value. NZL, since listing,

has established a track record of outperforming the broader rural land market.

New Zealand’s temperate

system results in lower cost of

production than the farming

systems used in most of the

world.

New Zealand’s natural

advantages and efficient

production means that the

country produces far more than

it can consume domestically.

This allows farmers to export

the majority of their goods to

high value international markets.

New Zealand has a lower

carbon footprint for its

primary products than most if

not all alternative producers.

The importance of agriculture

to the New Zealand economy

mitigates political risks to the

NEW ZEALAND RURAL LAND COMPANY

On 21 October 2022, NZL announced it had entered into an agreement to acquire up to 100% of a forestry estate located in the Manawatū-

Whanganui Region of the North Island. The estate is comprised of five individual properties with a total area of 2,400ha.

The planted area with Carbon Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) potential is 1,889ha, of this 1,458ha is currently registered under the ETS. The

remaining 430ha have been identified as potential ETS areas.

The chart below details the age class of trees within the Estate. Nearly all trees were planted between 1994 and 1996 making them between

26 and 28 years old. These trees are expected to continue sequestering carbon for a number of decades into the future.

The forecast sequestration profile of the Estate is also detailed below. As illustrated the rate at which pine trees sequester carbon increases

rapidly in the first seven years after planting before settling into a largely linear trend until year 70.

Cumulative NZUs per Hectare

Years Since Planting

NZL’s cost to acquire 100% of the Estate is approximately $63m (subject to final costs) with a first year payment of $4.98m under the terms of

the lease. The lease is a triple net lease, has uncapped annual CPI-linked rental adjustments with a three yearly catch-up indexed to 50% of

the increase in the price of NZU’s over the period (if greater than CPI).

The purchase will be funded using a combination of debt and equity - the equity component of which NZL may fund using a variety of sources

including reallocation of capital within the group and borrowing capacity. There is an option for NZL’s tenant partner New Zealand Forest

Leasing (NZFL) to purchase up to approximately 48% of the asset if required.

The settlement date for the acquisition is 15 April 2023 with the entire estate to be leased to NZFL for a period of 20 years.

NEW ZEALAND RURAL LAND COMPANY

As previously announced, NZL has changed its balance date to 31 December (from 30 June). Accordingly, NZL has begun work

with its auditors and valuers on this reporting period.

At this time, NZL has received preliminary independent valuations of its investment properties. In aggregate, the properties have

increased in value by +0.9% (+$2.46 million)* which demonstrates both the resilience and quality of the rural land NZL holds in

its portfolio.

It further highlights the attractiveness of farmland as an investment in times of rising interest rates, high inflation and market

volatility - especially when compared to other investments including commercial real estate, which has not fared as well in the

aforementioned environment. The chart below details New Zealand’s Official Cash Rate (OCR) since 1999. The OCR is now at

4.25% a level not seen since 2008 as the RBNZ raises interest rates to combat widespread inflationary pressures.

NEW ZEALAND RURAL LAND COMPANY

The global population is expected to reach 9.7 billion by 2050. A growing global population and surging demand for food

alongside declining available productive land provide a strong long-term global tailwind for productive land ownership.

Globally, productive rural land is a scarce/finite resource. New Zealand rural land is extremely well placed to capitalise on the

global scarcity of high quality arable land.

Sustainability Advantages

Soil in New Zealand is predominantly fertile volcanic loams – ideal for productive farming. This, coupled with New Zealand’s

temperate climate, consistent rainfall, adequate sunshine and ability to grow grass and other crops year round make it a highly

advantaged, efficient, consistent and low cost producer of primary products.

New Zealand’s pasture based farming system allow for easy transition of rural land to a range of alternative uses should

conditions dictate (e.g. dairy to sheep and beef rearing).

New Zealand’s low input pasture based farming methods enable meat and dairy products to be produced at significantly lower

cost than the EU or US. In the case of milk production it is a 40% - 50% lower cost than EU and US producers.

New Zealand dairy has the world’s lowest carbon emissions per kg of milk.

The production of sheep/lamb meat in New Zealand generates carbon emissions c.-63% lower than the global average. While

beef production emits c.-77% less carbon.

Sustainability Advantages (continued)

Additionally, NZL only selects tenants with a track record of environmentally sustainable performance. (All NZL’s leases also

incorporate a requirement that tenants reserve a large buffer of equity relative to annual lease costs to ensure that leases are

paid even in adverse operating conditions).

Joint sustainability commitments are written into NZL’s binding leases. These reinforce the shared vision between NZL and its

tenants of what sustainability looks like and the commitment to proactively manage, mitigate and minimise greenhouse gas

emissions, nutrient leaching and other potentially environmentally harmful practices, while ensuring the welfare and wellbeing of

the people, communities and animals connected to the land.

NZL’s directors and management have a track record of establishing and implementing sustainability initiatives across a number

of New Zealand businesses.

NEW ZEALAND RURAL LAND COMPANY

Land as an investment offers a low risk profile for investors, generates consistent returns (non-cyclical) and NZL since listing has a

demonstrated history of outperforming the farm price index

*

.

For the last 26 years the value of rural land in New Zealand has grown consistently, with REINZ’s Rural Land Price Index

increasing at a CAGR of +6.6% per annum, this is before operating or lease income, currently NZL is receiving >5% cash leases on

capital deployed for low risk assets, these are all subject to uncapped inflation adjusted leases and are triple net leases; meaning

the responsibility for maintenance rests with the tenants.

The capital growth of rural land in New Zealand offers a significant tax advantage over other jurisdictions as capital gains are not

taxed in New Zealand.

NZL OUTLOOK, OPERATIONAL UPDATE &

SUMMARY

NEW ZEALAND RURAL LAND COMPANY

NZL Outlook Commentary

NZL has received preliminary independent valuations of its investment properties ast at 31 December 2022. In aggregate, the

properties have increased in value by +0.9% (+$2.46 million)* which demonstrates both the resilience and quality of the rural land

NZL holds in its portfolio.

NZL’s rural land portfolio is further supported by leases incorporating regular, uncapped, CPI reviews. Accordingly, high inflation

yields stronger than anticipated rental growth. Furthermore, NZL is insulated from inflation-impacted (and all other operational) on-

farm costs by owning only the land.

From 1 July 2024, NZL will start to see the positive impact of rental growth with approximately 55% of the portfolio (by lease income)

due for review. These reviews are CPI-indexed. CPI accumulated since the leases began (1 June 2021) totals +12.6% to 31 December

2022 and is forecast by the market to be in excess of 17% by 30 June 2024.

NZL has hedging arrangements in place for 40% of its total borrowings at an average all in cost of 4.50%

**

. NZL’s remaining debt is

borrowed on a floating rate (BKBM plus bank margins) and the average all in cost of NZL’s floating debt as at 20 January 2023 is

6.35%. NZL’s weighted average interest cost (fixed and floating) is currently 5.6%.

NZL continues to focus on broadening its share register. Currently, NZL’s foreign ownership is ~22.4% as at 31 December 2022. The

Board and Manager are focused on lifting this foreign ownership percentage in the year ahead and the European Roadshow is the

first initiative in this regard in January/February 2023.

NEW ZEALAND RURAL LAND COMPANY

Sector:Description:Timeframe:

NZ’s environment provides for a wide variety of forestry and tree based

carbon sequestration due to its natural advantages in soil, climate and

rainfall.

First transaction

announced

NZ’s environment suits dairy farming and has a lower cost of production,

in an environment of growing demand.

Existing

ownership

A growing demand supported by supportive government policies and

decreasing costs of renewable energy construction provides attractive

alternative land use.

Near-term

horizon

Eggs are highly nutritious and relatively low cost food which New

Zealand has a competitive advantage in producing, due to its suitability

for free range and local production of feed, both of which have lower

carbon footprints than more intensive operations.

Near-term

horizon

New Zealand’s maritime climate, fertile soils and elongated geography

allow for regional wine variations including Pinot Noir and Sauvignon

Blanc. We believe forecast macro trends will provide for more favourable

future acquisition pricing in the sector.

Medium-term

horizon

New Zealand’s climate and soil allows for the production of a range of

high quality produce with Kiwifruit the largest crop. NZL considers that

the sector is largely fully priced but continues to monitor opportunities

as they arise.

Medium-term

horizon

NZL Outlook: Creating a Diversified Rural Land Portfolio Over Time

Portfolio Construction:

NZL’s initial focus has been on

acquiring New Zealand dairy

properties.

Intention is to expand focus

to other New Zealand primary

sectors, particularly as investment

opportunities arise in horticulture,

viticulture and forestry as well as

sheep and beef.

Subsector focus as at January

2023 is as follows:

NZL: Operational Update (as at 20 January 2023)

Infrastructure Efficiency

Sustainability

NZL and its tenants share a vision of

sustainable practices. These include

practices that enhance the health and

wellbeing of the natural environment,

animals and communities connected to

the land.

NZL is prioritising working with tenants

who share these values.

Additionally, NZL and its tenants agree

to binding sustainability pledges in every

lease. NZL and its Tenants are currently

implementing processes to measure

these.

NZL is concluding investigations of

projects to improve the efficiency of water

and nutrient use on NZL properties.

Benefits of improved efficiency are

anticipated to be: wetland rejuvenation;

more controlled and targeted application

of irrigation water leading to a reduction in

leaching; and water quality improvement.

Biodiversity & Carbon

NZL has undertaken studies and analysis

to better understand carbon sequestration

opportunities on marginal/non-productive

land and areas suitable for increasing

biodiversity.

Such initiatives if progressed would

contribute to climate change mitigation,

balance sheet/cash generation and

biodiversity improvement.

Farm Price Index

Long-Term New Zealand Farm Price Returns - LAND ONLY

CAGR: +6.6% p.a.

Since 1996 the value of rural land in New Zealand has grown considerably, with REINZ’s Rural Land Price Index increasing at a

CAGR of +6.6% per annum this is before operating or lease returns.

NZL’s leases all incorporate CPI adjustments. Currently NZL is writing leases in excess of +5% per annum.

NZL believes New Zealand’s rural land values will continue to grow over the long term driven by the increasing scarcity of

productive land globally, especially the world’s most carbon efficient land which offers the lowest cost production.

Rural Funds Group - ASX Listed

Rural Funds Group (RFF.ASX) is a real estate investment trust which owns a diversified portfolio of high

quality Australian agricultural assets that are leased predominantly to corporate agricultural operators.

Revenues are primarily derived from long-term leases across five sectors: almonds, cattle, vineyards, cropping and macadamias.

RFF has a number of similarities to NZL including:

• Externally managed by Rural Funds Management (RFM);

• Triple net leases; and

• WALT of more than 9 years.

RFF participates in the development of orchards and in doing so assumes development risk. In contrast NZL does not participate in any development projects

and actively avoids exposure to key risks including on farm, commodity price and environmental risk.

The charts below depict RFF’s market capitalisation, dividend yield and price to NAV premium/discount:


MARKET CAPITALISATION (AUD$ mln)DIVIDEND YIELD (%)PRICE TO NAV PREMIUM/DISCOUNT (%)

• RFF’s current market capitalisation is AUD$928.4m (NZD$987.7)

.

• From mid 2016 RFF’s dividend yield has largely remained between 4% and 6% with its current yield being 4.8%.

• RFF traded at a discount to NAV from February 2014 until October 2016 then traded at a premium to NAV until recently.

• The sharp decrease in share price observed in June/July 2019 was the result of an American short seller publishing a report bringing into question the

Company’s financial performance. These claims were subsequently proved false and RFF was awarded compensation.

OUR SUSTAINABILITY PROGRAMME

“ENDURING LAND FOR LIFE”

NEW ZEALAND RURAL LAND COMPANY

Enduring Land for Life

To ensure long-term success, NZL is holistic in its approach to sustainability, safeguarding

Land is essential for life. It’s the source of most

of our food, it underpins half our export earnings

and it supports families, iwi, jobs, companies and

communities. Above all it is our place to stand.

It is also under threat. Productive land for

agriculture is shrinking. In just two years, from

2017 - 2019, the land used for agriculture and

horticulture in New Zealand decreased by

2A08,000 hectares.

When land is enduring, life is enduring:

environmentally, socially and economically.

The New Zealand Rural Land Company is here to

enable enduring land for life. We are building a

portfolio of highly-productive land and partnering

with skilled primary producers. We are enabling

up-and-coming farmers to thrive as well as

opening up ways for older farmers to unlock the

value of their land before retirement.

We are setting exacting standards in our

approach to land managemeant, animal welfare,

human resources and governance, ensuring the

land we own and our farmering partners of today

will be safeguarded to support the producers of

tomorrow.

That’s why we developed a commitment that sits

at the core of our business approach. It’s binding,

written into our contractual relationship with our

partners, and it ensures we become a positive,

market-leading force for exceptional land

stewardship and sustainability.

How it works

Enduring Land for Life Programme

Defining our

It’s important we make smart decisions about how we use our

land, what we use it for and how we take care of it.

Farms are complex natural systems where the performance of

one component, such as sheep or dairy cattle, is influenced

by others, including soil fertility, quality feed or the training,

competence and morale of farm staff.

For us, enduring land for life is achieved through goals and

actions in four connected areas: environmental, economic,

social and animal welfare.

A fifth area, governance, ensures oversight and management

of these goals in each on-farm area, and the monitoring and

measurement of performance.

These goals and the specifics related to their achievement are

included in our partnership agreements with our tenants.

As the land owners, NZ Rural Land Company believes smart

decisions start with who we work with. The bar is high because

our expectations are also high, but there is no shortage of

quality candidates.

We are confident our farms are in safe hands, because the

defining factors for enduring land for life are in place, practical,

meaningful and measurable.

Committments between NZL and tenant

developed and refined jointly, incorporating

industry best practice, latest research and

learnings from leading tenants.

Joint committments included in binding

leases.

Regular independent audits.

Reports to NZL, ensuring compliance and

progress towards ultimate outcomes.

Protecting and enhancing the

environment has a positive impact on the

sustainability of our assets and our planet.

Our environmental initiatives are focused

on protecting and enhancing soil health,

water quality and biodiversity, alongside

reducing greenhouse gas emissions on a

per-unit-of-production basis.


Economic success and prosperity is an essential

part of sustainability: it ensures our long-term

viability, enabling us to continue achieving our

other sustainability aims. It’s vital to motivate

partners and their teams, to create opportunity,

foster growth, reduce inequality, improve

health, and increase investment in research and

development. This long-term economic success

is in turn dependent on the long-term health

of our core asset: the land. A long-term view,

long-term leases and careful selection of quality

tenants creates a virtuous circle of growth,

investment in innovation, creation of jobs and

increased opportunities for the community.

People are one of the most important

elements of any business. We partner

with tenants who prioritise the economic,

career and personal growth of their

people while providing safe, warm, and

healthy work and living environments. We

ensure this by careful selection of quality

tenants committed to the wellbeing of

their workforce.

Along with land, people and animals

are an integral part of our ecosystem.

Prioritising animal wellbeing has

numerous positive outcomes, for

the animals themselves as well as in

economic prosperity. We and our partners

take pride in their animal welfare practice,

which prioritise good nutrition, adequate

shelter, and care for their physical and

psychological wellbeing.
