ANNUAL REPORT CORRECTION
Property for Industry Limited (PFI, the Company) advises that it has made a correction to the Company’s
annual report, released earlier today.
The correction is to the “weighted average number of ordinary shares” and the “weighted average
number of shares for purpose of diluted earnings per share”, found of page 70 of the report. These
figures have been updated to 504,719,213 and 504,748,288 shares, respectively. As a consequence,
“basic earnings per share” and “diluted earnings per share” have also been updated to (2.76) cents per
share.
These figures also appear on pages 46 and 89 of the annual report, and on page one of the annual
results announcement.
Copies of the updated annual report and annual results announcement are attached and can also be
found on the Company’s website at www.propertyforindustry.co.nz.

As a professional landlord to the

of less frenetic market conditions to

_ 30-32 Bowden Road, Mount Wellington
We also reset our potential through
share repurchasing, starting the process
to bring facilities management in-house
and building our team’s capability.
Performance was steady, with full
occupancy and contracted rents up by a
healthy margin, even though the number of
properties and tenants decreased slightly.
Stability remains a defining discipline for PFI.
But this year we also significantly advanced our
sustainability programme, placing this priority
alongside consistency as hallmarks of how we
do business. A busy year has seen us planning
well ahead, strengthening our resources,
our team and our resolve to prudently take
advantage of the opportunities as they arise.

2022 REVIEW
A MUCH QUIETER year from a
transactional point of view belies
how much we achieved behind
the scenes.
While high-quality, well-located
industrial properties remain in
demand, it was harder to find new
properties with the right long-term
returns profile. Focus shifted
accordingly to maximising the value
of existing assets, and divesting
assets where it made sense to recycle
cash. Good returns on sales outside
Auckland enabled the Company to
pay down debt and prepare for two
major brownfield redevelopments
scheduled to begin in 2023.
A change in market sentiment, as
the cycle shifted to late stage, enabled
us to pre-emptively execute a share
buy-back, starting the process to bring
facilities management in-house
and,
at year end, move to new premises
in
preparation for our next era of growth.
“The time was right for us
to realign our portfolio by selling
down some assets and earmarking
the proceeds for brownfield
redevelopments at Bowden and
Springs roads, as well as buying back
shares that we judged were trading
below their fair value,” says Chief
Executive Officer Simon Woodhams.
“All of these decisions are consistent
with our strategic commitments to
focusing on the industrial property
sector, reading prevailing market
conditions for opportunities
and being intentional in our
management style.
“Demand for industrial property
remains high: there are limited
vacancies, rentals continue to
increase and there is widespread
investment and construction to
meet demand.”
Overall, dividends continued
to trend upward. Assessed over a
three-yearly framework, the 2022
dividend looks past the higher
earnings in 2021, which were a result
of record low interest rates and
holding the Carlaw Park properties
until the end of that year. Dividends
rose to 8.10 cents per share (cps),
an increase of 2.5% on last year’s
dividend of 7.90 cps, representing
a dividend pay-out ratio of around
01.

2022 REVIEW
91.7% of Adjusted Funds From
Operations (AFFO) for the year, and
90.7% of AFFO on a rolling three-year
basis. The projection for next year is a
dividend of 8.10 to 8.30 cps, a further
increase of up to 2.5%.
Valuations across PFI’s portfolio
decreased by just $56.7 million, or
2.6%, resulting in a portfolio value
of $2.117 billion, down from the
high point last year of $2.169 billion.
Following a reduction in the share
price during the year from $2.98
to $2.30, average annualised total
shareholder returns since inception
now stand at just under 10%.
As expected, earnings were lower
than last year’s record result. Funds
From Operations (FFO) were down
7.8% to 10.21 cps, while AFFO
reduced by a smaller percentage to
8.83 cps. Again, though, in the context
of FY20 and FY19, this year’s result
reflects consistent upward movement
over the medium term. By contrast,
net rental income was up a further
$1.2 million, or 1.3%, at $95.3 million
as compared to $94.0 million in
the previous period.
Non-recoverable property costs
of $2.7 million were down 5.0%, in
keeping with full occupancy and
low levels of expiry. Interest expenses
and bank fees were up 23% to
$24.6 million due to higher levels of
borrowings and increased underlying
interest rates. Administrative
expenses increased also, up 14%
to $8.5 million, as we continued to
invest in our team, our premises
and the systems supporting us.
An active year for divestments
saw four properties – 39 Edmundson
Street in Napier, 330 Devon Street
East and 20 Constance Street in
New Plymouth, and 8A & B Canada
Crescent in Christchurch –
transacted at a combined gross sales
price of $33.4 million. On average,
these properties realised 8% above
their most recent book value.
Occupancy remained at 100%
but the Weighted Average Lease Term
decreased slightly from 5.40 years to
5.08 years. We leased 104,433 sqm
of space this year for an average
term of 5.0 years and total rent of
$14.8 million, with new leases being
agreed at an average of around 12%
above the previous contract rent.
We also completed over 100 rent
reviews on $62.8 million of contract
rent, resulting in an average annual
uplift of 4%.
The only changes to our
borrowings were a one-year
extension of the short-term facility
with the Bank of New Zealand, and
the establishment of a US$250
million ‘shelf facility’ for long-term
borrowings with Pricoa, part of
a large US insurance company.
Gearing remains at comfortable
levels at 28.5%, up slightly from
27.7% last year.
“We now have borrowing facilities
totalling $725 million with maturities
through to 2028,” explains Chief
Finance and Operating Officer Craig
Peirce. “Low gearing, a solid balance
sheet and good capital management,
combined with a focus on people and
systems, means we are well placed to
take PFI forward into our next phase.”
Tangible progress was made
in the Company’s sustainability
programme. This included: refreshing
our sustainability strategy; completing
the R22 refrigerant gas replacement
project; filing our third voluntary Task
Force on Climate-Related Financial
Disclosures (TCFD) report in this
Annual Report; targeting 5 Green Star
design for the Bowden Road and
Springs Road developments; creating
a strategy for rolling solar across
the portfolio; and undertaking
sustainable refurbishments.
“Our decision to target 5 Green
Star ratings in our upcoming
Bowden Road and Springs Road
redevelopments puts us at the
leading edge of the industrial sector
in New Zealand,” says Craig. “There
are only a handful of buildings in
New Zealand currently at this level,
and it’s exciting to be embarking
on these projects with sustainability
firmly at their core.” You can learn
more about these projects on
pages 18 to 21.
“PFI’s long-term strategy and
continued focus on industrial
property have advanced this year,
and the Board is happy with progress,”
says PFI Chair Anthony Beverley.
“We continue to deliver stable cash
returns for investors, and the team
have made good use of the drivers
available to them through the strategy
to divest sensibly, while positioning
the Company to continue to grow in
the years ahead.”

Sustained interest in e-commerce
as well as the maintenance
of higher inventories as a
hedge against supply chain
disruptions continue to fuel
demand for industrial and
logistics buildings. According to
CBRE, up to 200 million sqm of
additional e-commerce-dedicated
logistics space will be required
internationally by 2026.

Plunging national business

ACTING
FOR
THE
FUTURE
Some of the macro factors that have influenced
values and returns in the sector still exist,
but they have been tempered by rising interest
rates. Supply chain issues
may have begun
to show signs
of resolving themselves, and
consumer sentiment is cooling in the face
of rising
costs of living, yet the demand
for quality logistics space, particularly in
Auckland, remains high. Significant increases
in market rental rates this year reflect that.

_ Thinking ahead
for our tenants is a
hallmark of our strong
relationships.

LOOkING AHEAD
THE PREVIOUS YEAR was exceptional: the
transaction environment enabled the Company
to fill the earnings hole left by the divestment of
Carlaw Park. Of course, retaining that property
until the end of the 2021 financial year was also
a bonus, effectively providing almost 12 months
of additional revenue. The sale did something else
as well: it realised our goal of being a pure industrial
property player.
This year is quite different. “We find ourselves
in a dynamic sector,” says Chief Executive Officer
Simon Woodhams. “Our strategy continues to
focus on making deliberate decisions in industrial
property that balance short-term earnings and
long-term value generation. We’re looking for
investments that benefit our investors, tenants,
industry, people and the planet. We have
divested properties this year to help advance
that agenda.”
FOCUS SHIFTS TO
VALUE MAXIMISATION
LEVERAGING PFI’S CURRENT scale is about opening
up opportunities and taking the time to get them
right. A great deal will happen behind the scenes
over the next while, but with higher interest rates,
the focus has turned to maximising the value of
the current portfolio.
As the Company becomes larger, our ability
to maintain our performance record steepens.
“Our ability to grow in value and deliver strong,
stable returns to our shareholders revolves around
our portfolio mix, which we continue to refine,
as well as our enduring and collaborative
relationships and partners, and our great team
and culture,” says Simon.
Continuing on a growth trajectory will be
executed in a range of ways, including growing
market share, improving asset quality, and
diversifying the income mix. While the market
may be shifting to a different part of the cycle,
Simon says PFI has a duty to remain true to our
strategy and a quieter transactional environment
has enabled important changes that will benefit
the Company for years to come.
“In terms of our portfolio, we continue to
grow our base through proactive and deliberate
investments at the same time as we divest assets
that are non-core. We’ve always enjoyed strong
tenant relationships, but we’ve begun to strengthen
those this year by starting to bring facilities
management in-house, and by thinking ahead
for our tenants. We’ve paid a lot of attention to
developing capable and agile teams within a
distinctive and healthy culture. And, alongside
others in the sector, we are increasing our climate
commitments. Our objective, in the case of the
latter, is really to be at the forefront for the
application of sustainability in the industrial
property sector. Our upcoming Bowden Road and
Springs Road redevelopments are a case in point.”
INDUSTRIAL PROPERTY
DEMAND REMAINS STRONG
THE GOOD NEWS is that, unlike other parts of
the property sector, industrial and logistics
remain stable and attractive. According to
CBRE’s “Auckland Property Market Outlook”
ACTING
FOR
THE
FUTURE

PROPERTY FOR INDUSTRY LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT — 2022
BUILDING OUR
DEVELOPMENT
CAPABILITY
MANAGED CAREFULLY, BROWNFIELD projects are
a potential game-changer. “In a market where large
assets are simply not available at what we deem to
be realistic prices, and might not be for some time,
properties like Bowden and Springs roads offer us
a wealth of opportunity,” says Simon Woodhams.
“Redesigning those sites from the ground up
represents not only our best use of capital, it also
enables us to advance our ambitions to gear up
for the next stage of our journey by redeveloping
properties as an engine for maximising
shareholder value.”
Changes to the dividend policy announced last
year align directly with these shifts. “Both projects
will take time to plan and implement,” says Chief
Finance and Operating Officer Craig Peirce.
“The timeframe for delivery of Bowden Road is
mid-2024, while Springs Road is a multi-year
project. Annual earnings as measured by AFFO
may move around, but our aims are for increasing
dividends and earnings that move up over a
timeframe beyond any single year.
“Our three-year horizon for earnings and
dividends recognises that, as we grow, returns and
development may not always flow immediately.
By taking a longer-term view, we can look through
any one year of ups or downs, enabling us to evolve
as a company while staying true to our defining
ethos of stable returns.”

and “Auckland Rent & Yield Update”, released in
December 2022 and January 2023 respectively,
demand for industrial property remains strong.
Prime-grade vacancy sits at just 0.1%, while
secondary-grade vacancy is low also at 0.7%.
Even as demand responds to a weaker economy,
based on pre-commitment levels and enquiry
volumes, indications are for vacancy rates to stay
at only 1.2% for prime-grade property and 2.0%
for secondary-grade property.
Rental trends will continue to reflect current
momentum based on increasing development
costs and entrenched strong supply-demand
fundamentals. Rental growth has indeed remained
high in 2022, as CBRE forecast, although the rate
of growth is expected to start to reflect longer-term
trends in 2023 and beyond. Under-renting in PFI’s
portfolio of around 11% provides a platform for
further rental growth in the face of weaker
economic conditions.

and deliberate

A COMPREHENSIVE APPROACH
TO SUSTAINABILITY
PFI’S COMMITMENT TO sustainability continues
to move forward. Our new sustainability strategy
focuses efforts on six key areas: the Company
will create a future-proofed and resilient portfolio;
maximise the useful lifespan of buildings;
become a trusted partner for tenants in terms
of sustainability and reducing greenhouse gas
emissions; collaborate with supply-chain partners
to minimise waste and promote positive social
impacts; commit to strong employee engagement
and health and safety performance; and maintain
high standards of financial and governance
performance. “These commitments reflect
and fortify our strategic intentions,” says Simon
Woodhams. “Going forward, there can be
no separation of our commercial and
sustainability goals.”
BOARD CHANGES
THE COMPANY HAS welcomed Carolyn Steele to
the Board this year. “We would like to take this
opportunity to thank retiring director Susan
Peterson for her guidance and expertise. The
Company has benefitted significantly from her
presence at our Board table,” says PFI Chair
Anthony Beverley. You can find an interview with
incoming Director Carolyn Steele on pages 22 to 23.
RESILIENT RESULTS AHEAD
FY22 CLOSES WITH the Company well placed for the
coming years. With substantial demand evident,
and a clear path for development, PFI is confident
that it can maintain momentum while meeting
investor expectations. “We may not see the record
results of 2021 in the short to medium term,
yet we are confident of delivering resilient results,”
says Simon. “There will be challenges, but we’ll
walk towards them, intent on meeting investor
and occupier demands and delivering the strong,
stable returns that our investors look for.”

The redevelopment of Bowden
Road in many ways marks
the start of a new era of
development for PFI.”
SIMON WOODHAMS
Chief Executive Officer
PURCHASED AS A strategic acquisition
in 2013, the Bowden Road site
is a large landholding in a prime
industrial location. The original
buildings were built five decades ago,
with subsequent bespoke additions
constructed in the 1990s for the
previous tenant.
With current leases due to expire
in March 2023,
we have been preparing
to realise the site’s potential
as a
future brownfield redevelopment
capable of becoming a core, sustainable
asset. That process is now well in
hand, with a long-term lease secured
for the first stage with Tokyo Food,
the country’s longest-standing
Japanese foods importer, distributor
and retailer.
This first stage will comprise
a 7,050 sqm warehouse facility,
for which Tokyo Food will take
a 12-year lease. The forecast
completion date is mid-2024. The
second stage of the development is
an 11,200 sqm high-stud warehouse,
790 sqm of office and amenities,
along with a 2,900 sqm breezeway
and car parks. Both stages will
target 5 Green Star ratings.
The entire redevelopment
is very much in keeping with the
Company’s strategy of investing in
well-located industrial property.
Once fully leased, the project is
expected to be accretive to both
earnings and net tangible assets on a
per-share basis. Equally importantly,
completion of this significant
redevelopment will endorse our
_ 30-32
Bowden Road
ability to undertake large-scale
highest-quality development.
The projects 5 Green Star ratings
will be realised with solar arrays,
water retention, energy efficiency
measures and use of building materials
with a lower environmental impact.
“The redevelopment of Bowden
Road in many ways marks the start
of a new era of development for
PFI,” says Chief Executive Officer
Simon Woodhams. “This two-stage
development will target our first
fully Green Star-rated industrial
estate, underpinning the next era of
both scale and sustainability in our
evolution as a company. Securing
Tokyo Foods as a first major long-
term tenant for the site is a clear
signal to investors that organisations
looking for substantial industrial
sites have confidence in our vision.”

The redevelopment of
this East Tamaki property
presents an opportunity
to target best-in-class
5 Green Star new buildings.”
SIMON WOODHAMS
Chief Executive Officer
ORIGINALLY THE SITE was designed
to manufacture home appliances.
Today, some of these warehouses no
longer meet best-in-class storage and
distribution needs, which typically
feature higher-stud buildings, little
or no internal columns, small offices,
and the ability to incorporate
cross-docking which enables goods
to be moved inwards and outwards
at scale. Modern large-scale logistics
operations require heavier truck
volumes also. The existing buildings
had large external grounds or
‘campus’
-style sites as well,
this translates into very low site
coverage and an inefficient layout.
PFI recognised an opportunity
to reposition Springs Road as a
core industrial asset holding for the
long term. By developing new and
refurbishing some of the existing
buildings, the Company could
incorporate best practice through
better design and deliver a more
sustainable, future-proofed,
industrial estate. A new-build
warehouse for FPA would be the
start of an ambitious regenerative
process, leading to the gradual
redevelopment of the entire site.
That work is now underway.
The multi-stage project will first
replace one of FPA’s existing
warehouses with a new 25,800 sqm
storage and distribution warehouse
targeting a 5 Green Star rating.
An extension option will enable
FPA to increase the warehouse up
to 30,050 sqm should they wish to
do so. Completion of the initial
warehouse is forecast for late 2024.
Sustainability features planned
for the site include rainwater
harvesting, the use of sustainable
construction materials, electric
vehicle (EV) charging stations,
greenhouse gas emissions
performance standards, and
diversion of construction and
demolition waste from landfill.
“The first stage of this
development will result in a
substantial warehouse, together
with offices and amenities, canopies,
breezeways and supporting yards
and car parks,” says Simon. “The
redevelopment of this East Tamaki
property presents an opportunity
to target best-in-class 5 Green
Star new buildings, and over
time infuse further sustainable
initiatives into this industrial estate.
Securing a 15-year lease to FPA
ensures that the project delivers
accretion to both earnings and
net tangible assets on a per-share
basis. Alongside the development
at Bowden Road, the works at
this site represent a significant
advancement of our commercial
and sustainability ambitions.”

CAROLYN STEELE JOINS the PFI Board with
an extensive governance track record and a
background in corporate finance, mergers and
acquisitions, and direct investments. She was
drawn to the Company, she says, because of the
quality of the people and the assets, and because
of PFI’s market position.
“The Company has a strong portfolio of
assets in a trading environment characterised
by constraint on supply and low vacancy rates.
My assessment is that you can’t replicate the
assets that PFI holds now, and the current balance
sheet leaves plenty of room for expansion.”
As a director, Carolyn says she enjoys working
with businesses with large assets. Previous
experience with a retirement village is useful in
terms of understanding brownfield opportunities.
“An emerging tension for the sector is balancing the
expectation of investors for good returns with the
ability of tenants to meet rent and inflation changes
in a supply constrained market,” she observes.
“Neither can achieve their potential without
understanding the situation of the other.”
Governance, she believes, revolves around
prudence: doing right by people, environment
and community. “Expectations of stakeholders
have changed considerably and quickly. On top
of that, we have increasing regulation and
scrutiny around sustainability outcomes.
Directors today must oversee the development
of more complex strategies while still enabling
and empowering management to perform, not
just comply.”
In terms of sustainability, she says she’s pleased
to see PFI taking a market-leading approach, with
the early adoption of TCFD reporting, elimination
of R22 refrigerant gases, targeting 5 Green Star
ratings for new buildings and more. “Investors are
driving many changes in this space for market
participants. It’s good to see PFI actively planning
to get out in front of that expectation wave.”
A well-balanced Board, she says, is one that not
only welcomes but also respects all contributions,
that is well chaired, has access to good advisors and
where the directors challenge themselves to keep
getting better. “We have a moral and legal duty
to act in the best interests of our shareholders,
but we must act in ways that reflect our wider
obligations as well. I’m a great believer in avoiding
distractions, retaining good people and giving
them the mandate and the support to do what
they are great at.
“This is an exciting time to be joining PFI,”
she concludes. “Brownfield developments offer
significant potential to create more value through
new buildings, continuous improvement of current
stock and smart recycling of capital. I’m looking
forward to being part of that journey.”

2022 HIGHLIGHTS
2022 has been an exciting year for sustainability at PFI.
We have continued to make progress on the framework
and plans that we set in 2019, whilst also turning our
attention to the next phase of our sustainability journey
with the development of a refreshed sustainability
strategy. Highlights from 2022 include:
We completed a new materiality assessment
and refreshed our strategy out to 2030.
We committed to a 5 Green Star target
for three new buildings.
We moved to a new office targeting
5 Green Star certification.
We worked with contractors to apply
our sustainable refurbishment framework
for four capital projects.
We engaged with six tenants on
solar enquiries and committed to
four solar installations.
We completed our replacements of HVAC systems that
use ozone-depleting R22 refrigerant gas within PFI’s
operational control. During 2022, we replaced HVAC
systems at 18 properties at a cost of $1.78m in capital
expenditure, which helped to reduce our Scope 1
fugitive emissions by 35% on 2019 levels.
We improved the seismic ratings of two
buildings to A Grade.

OUR REFRESHED STRATEGY
During 2022, we worked with a range of stakeholders including employees, suppliers, investors
and funders to seek their views on our organisation’s impacts and direction going forward. With
the help of sustainability specialists, Proxima, we conducted an impact assessment
1
to review
PFI’s actual and potential impacts on people and planet along the company’s value chain.
Through engagement with stakeholders and internal workshops, we have established the
following material topics:
At PFI, we understand that sustainability requires us to be responsive to our
changing external environment, constantly challenge ourselves, and be open to
trying new approaches. We have significantly grown our internal sustainability
expertise and capability over the past several years, while carefully monitoring the
changing expectations of financial markets, regulators, and our business partners.
This positioned us well to refresh our strategy for the future.
[1] Impacts were given a numerical ranking based on their relative significance, which considers severity and
likelihood. Impacts falling in the bottom 30% were deemed immaterial for reporting purposes.
[2] Most of PFI’s previous material topics have been incorporated into the new material topics, in particular People
and Wellbeing, Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Resources and Waste. Transparency, reporting and responding to
stakeholder concerns and Sustainability strategy, policy and process are no longer considered to be material topics
under the new GRI 2021 approach to materiality.

The role that PFI will play in the collective global movement to net zero by 2050 is a key
sustainability consideration for PFI and underpinned our thinking for our strategy refresh.
Over the past three years, we have grown our understanding of the wider context of our
organisation from an emissions perspective and we can see that our most material emissions
impacts are:
§
emissions relating to developments and refurbishments (known as ‘embodied
carbon’); and
§
emissions relating to the operational performance of our buildings (for example, energy
performance). At present, we are largely removed from operational performance due
to our outsourced facilities management model, and the fact that industrial leases
are typically ‘arm’s length’ with energy arrangements organised directly by tenants.
Notwithstanding these challenges, PFI’s ambition is to minimise both the operational
and embodied carbon emissions of buildings. We have therefore committed to:
§
building and refurbishing in a way that reduces both embodied and operational
greenhouse gas emissions; and
§
measuring and over time improving the operational performance of our buildings.
New buildings and brownfields redevelopments
When we develop significant new buildings we will ensure that they are built to the latest
sustainability standards by targeting a 5 Green Star rating. The Green Star tool is holistic
and ensures that the building performs to a range of sustainability standards. In particular,
Green Star seeks to:
§
minimise the impact of building materials and practices on the environment, including
but not limited to greenhouse gas emissions; and
§
ensure that the building is designed efficiently to minimise greenhouse gas emissions
arising from the operation of the building (for example, energy usage).
PFI is targeting 5 Green Star certification for our upcoming developments at 30-32
Bowden Road and 78 Springs Road. See our case studies on Bowden Road and Springs Road
on pages 18-21. Green Star ratings are administered by the New Zealand Green Building
Council (NZGBC), a network of property and building businesses aiming to normalise market-
based green practices. PFI is a member of the NZGBC.
The commitment to Green Star is also enabling PFI to grow our in-house sustainable
development capabilities, which will position us well to continuously regenerate the PFI
portfolio into the future.
Sustainable refurbishments
In some cases, we are able to extend the useful life of a dated building by undertaking
a refurbishment. This avoids the generation of embodied carbon and waste by re-using
materials (such as walls and foundations) that were already in place in an original building,
while presenting an opportunity to upgrade or add sustainable features (such as LED lighting).
During 2021, we created an internal sustainable refurbishment framework which provides
a way for us to minimise our environmental impacts when we undertake refurbishment
projects through a preference for lower-carbon materials and resource efficient design
features. In 2022, we began applying this framework for all significant refurbishments.
As each refurbishment is unique, this framework ensures that we have a range of
sustainable design options to consider for each refurbishment. A sustainable refurbishment
might include improving energy efficiency and water consumption, reducing waste, using
lower-impact building materials, and moving to renewable energy sources.
32
PROPERTY FOR INDUSTRY LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT — 2022
Measuring and improving operational performance
Greenhouse gas emissions arise from the operations of a building, for example through energy
use. Due to the typical structure of industrial leases, we do not currently have data on the
energy use of our buildings as this is outside of our operational control, although due to the
scale of our portfolio it would be reasonable to assume that this is sizeable.
PFI has traditionally outsourced its facilities management function to a third party. This
model has worked well for many years. However it does mean that PFI is quite distanced from
the day to day operation of the properties. We can see that bringing this function in-house will
set PFI up for the net zero transition, and have begun the process of doing so this year.
The initial benefit of this change will be the ability to work more closely with engaged
tenants to measure the operating efficiency of the buildings they occupy. This will be
challenging as, even with in-sourced facilities management, industrial property leases typically
put the building operations in the control of the tenant. However, we will work with our tenants
on this over time and have set an ambitious target of implementing power metering and
monitoring for 50% of PFI’s properties by 2025. We are also progressively introducing lease
clauses enabling us to request data from tenants.
In time, as we build up data, we will be able to identify opportunities to improve the
efficiency of lower-performing buildings. This should create value for our tenants and ensure
that our buildings retain their value in the long term. The power use of buildings forms part of
a tenant’s ‘carbon footprint’ so we are in a position to help them with their own emissions
reduction plans. Buildings with better operational performance also typically cost the tenant
less in power and water.
Finally, the collection of data is the first step toward being able to explore options for
operational performance certification for our existing properties.
Solar
New Zealand has a higher supply of renewable energy than many other countries. However,
electrification of activities that we currently rely on fossil fuels for (such as driving) is key
for decarbonising many aspects of our economy, meaning there will be higher demands for
electricity in future. Installing solar at our properties makes renewable energy available for our
tenants to use, reducing their energy demands on New Zealand’s electricity grid. Tenants may
also be able to feed any energy they don’t use from the solar panels back to the national grid,
increasing the supply of renewable energy for others to use.
This year, we have made progress towards PFI’s first solar installation at 3-5 Niall Burgess
Road as part of a wider sustainable refurbishment project. We have also investigated solar
panel installation at selected PFI properties with interested tenants, and going forward, we will
ensure the structural design of new developments allows for solar installation. We are aiming
to install solar systems at five buildings by 2025.
Scope 1 and 2 emissions
PFI’s scope 1 and 2 emissions are very small, in particular when compared to the scale of
emissions from developments and building energy use (i.e. our indirect Scope 3 emissions).
However, we acknowledge that we need to be mindful of our direct footprint, and we have
successfully taken steps to reduce it. Over the last two years we upgraded a significant
number of HVAC systems across our portfolio that required R22 refrigerant gas. The R22
systems were prone to leaking, which released harmful, ozone-depleting gas. By upgrading
these systems we have reduced our scope 1 fugitive emissions by 35% (or 33tCO
2
e) against
a 2019 base. The upgraded systems use R32 gas, which has a far lower global warming
potential if any gas escapes, and does not harm the ozone layer.
SuSTAINABILITY
33
RESOURCES AND
WASTE
When PFI undertakes property developments and refurbishments, building
materials such as steel and concrete are procured by the contractors that PFI
engages. Extracting, producing, and shipping these materials have upstream
impacts such as greenhouse gas emissions and potential impacts on local
communities or biodiversity if not produced responsibly. There is also waste
generated by PFI’s contractors, for example from demolition and packaging of
materials that are delivered to the site. PFI aspires that the impacts from the
materials that PFI uses and the waste that PFI produces during developments
and refurbishments are minimised.
At present, PFI does not consistently measure waste from developments and refurbishments.
However, we are collaborating with suppliers to improve waste measurement and reduction,
and use of lower-impact materials.
Our commitment to 5 Green Star design not only reduces the carbon impact of our
developments, but also encourages us to use lower-impact materials and reduce the waste
impacts from our developments. For example, our upcoming developments at 30-32 Bowden
Road and 78 Springs Road will target at least 70% of the waste generated during construction
and demolition diverted from landfill.
We have also considered the resources and waste impacts of our refurbishments as
part of our sustainable refurbishment framework. When PFI refurbishes buildings instead of
building new ones, we can reduce the impacts caused by building materials by reusing what
is already in place where possible. The framework also encourages us to use lower-impact
materials and reduce the waste produced as part of these refurbishments. We have set waste
measurement requirements and diversion targets for two major refurbishment projects.
(1) Including waste, business travel, employee commuting, and energy and fuel; but excluding goods and services,
and capital expenditure.
(2) Carbon credits are retired on either the NZETS registry for New Zealand projects and the Markit Registry for
the Pacific project.
We will continue to work on initiatives to further reduce our gross Scope 1 and 2 emissions
going forward, particularly as new technologies become available that enable us to make
further advances. In the meantime, we are offsetting our residual Scope 1 and 2 emissions
through high-quality offsets.
We have offset Scope 1, 2 and selected Scope 3 emissions
1
with certified carbon credits.
These certified carbon credits are sourced from projects that grow and protect forests in
Aotearoa and the Pacific Islands and help to deliver climate resilience, waterways protection,
erosion control, biodiversity conservation and community economic development
2
. These
credits have enabled us to achieve Carbon Friendly certification with Ekos for the 2022
financial year.

Addressing seismic risk
For many years, PFI has been working through a programme to assess (and where appropriate,
improve) the seismic ratings of each property in our portfolio, to reduce the likelihood of
damage and harm as a result of earthquakes. Seismic risk is also carefully considered when
acquiring new properties as part of our due diligence process. When undertaking seismic
upgrade work, we generally aim to lift the seismic rating of the property to A grade.
Monitoring and responding to climate risk
We recognise that we also need to ensure that our business is resilient to climate change.
PFI regularly assesses, monitors and responds to the risks PFI faces from climate change.
You can read about our approach to climate-related risks and opportunities in our third

Modern slavery
PFI’s operations are located entirely in New Zealand, albeit some of our supply chains extend
overseas. While we consider that we have a relatively low risk of exposure to modern slavery,
we do intend to formalise a modern slavery policy to clearly communicate that modern
slavery will not be tolerated by PFI, and are already working with suppliers to communicate
our expectations.
Facilities management in-house
Bringing facilities management in-house will enable PFI to work more closely with service
contractors on environmental and social performance. For example, it will provide the ability
to establish service contracts directly with suppliers that include modern slavery, waste
management and materials requirements.
We also financially support our team, suppliers and many other organisations that we work

PROPERTY FOR INDUSTRY LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT — 2022
PFI recognises that we need to proactively manage the risks and opportunities that
arise from climate change, just as we manage all other risks and opportunities
facing our business. We are pleased with the progress that we have made during the
last three years to strengthen our understanding of, and response to, our climate-
related risks and opportunities. During that time, PFI has built a solid understanding
of the climate-related risks and opportunities faced by the business and updated its
processes, business plans and sustainability strategy to reflect these.
This report provides information about the actions that we are taking to identify and manage
climate-related risks and opportunities. The following disclosures have been prepared in
accordance with the recommendations of the Task Force on Climate-related Financial
Disclosures (TCFD) which provides a framework for climate-related financial disclosures
across four core elements: governance, strategy, risk management and metrics and targets.
This is PFI’s third report in line with the TCFD recommended disclosures. We note that PFI
will be required to provide mandatory climate-related disclosures aligning with the Aotearoa
New Zealand Climate Standards from 2023. These voluntary disclosures position us well to
comply with that mandate once it is in place.
Climate change is an evolving challenge, with high levels of uncertainty. This report sets
out PFI’s current understanding of, and response to, climate-related issues. However, we
acknowledge that this will evolve over time. We remain committed to continue progressing
our response to climate change over time, and to report our progress to our stakeholders
each year.

GOVERNANCE
Describe the Board’s oversight of climate-related risks and opportunities.
PFI’s Board Charter specifies that the Board is responsible for oversight of PFI’s sustainability
framework and performance, including climate-related issues. PFI’s Board receives quarterly
reporting from Management on strategy, sustainability, operations and risk management,
which includes PFI’s response to climate-related risks and opportunities. This reporting
includes progress against agreed climate-related initiatives within PFI’s sustainability
strategy (which are set with oversight from the Board). The Board also receives information
on climate-related matters from Management as part of PFI’s due diligence process for new
acquisitions. The PFI Board’s Audit and Risk Committee assists the Board in discharging
its responsibilities with respect to risk management. Management’s assessment of PFI’s
climate-related risks is presented to the Board’s Audit and Risk Committee annually.
Describe management’s role in assessing and managing climate-related risks and
opportunities.
Under PFI’s Risk Management Framework, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Finance and
Operating Officer are responsible for management of climate-related risk, along with all
other risks. These roles are also responsible for the execution of PFI’s strategy, including
any climate-related opportunities. PFI has a dedicated Head of Sustainability and Operations
who leads the assessment of climate-related risks and opportunities, and ensures that the
Company’s sustainability strategy is designed to respond to these risks and opportunities.
During 2022, a monthly ESG management meeting was held that monitored sustainability
market trends and regulatory change, and made decisions on PFI’s responses to climate-
related risks and opportunities. This meeting was attended by the Chief Executive Officer
and Chief Finance and Operating Officer. The Chief Executive Officer and Chief Finance and
Operating Officer approved PFI’s latest climate-related risk and opportunity assessment
through this forum.

the risks are expected to materialise in the medium to long term. However, as our real estate
assets are long term investments we are taking steps now to ensure that our organisation is
resilient to these future challenges.
38
PROPERTY FOR INDUSTRY LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT — 2022
A summary of the top five risks that PFI has identified is provided below, along with a summary of how PFI is responding to them, and the
related opportunities:
RISKSEXPECTED TIME HORIZONRISK RESPONSERELATED OPPORTUNITIES
Transition – Policy (regulatory) risk:
The introduction of new regulations,
for example on building materials and
design, disclosure and governance, land
use, and electricity or water use could
lead to increased compliance risk, and
a potential reduction in profitability.
Short term
Medium term
Long term
PFI is closely monitoring
climate-related regulatory
change and is working with
industry bodies to provide
feedback on proposed
regulations where
appropriate.
We are also working to
ensure that we are ready
to respond to incoming
legislative changes when
they arise. For example, from
2023 PFI will start working
with tenants to implement
utility monitoring in
anticipation of future
regulation relating to the
energy use of buildings.
Our Board receives quarterly
reporting on how we are
responding to upcoming
regulatory change.
The sustainability
knowledge and capability
that PFI has built over the
past several years positions
us well to drive value for PFI
(for example, through
creation of best-in-class
sustainable assets) and our
tenants (for example,
through energy savings).
During 2022, PFI continued
to explore opportunities to
create value by working with
tenants on renewable
energy and water efficiency
initiatives.
This included reaching an
agreement for our first solar
installation at 3-5 Niall
Burgess Road.
Transition – Market risk:
With increasing scrutiny of organisations’
impact on the climate, we expect
increased tenant or purchaser demand
for sustainable buildings. In the long
term, this could result in difficulty
re-letting buildings, devaluation of
properties, or increased expenditure
to bring properties up to higher
sustainability standards.
Short term
Medium term
Long term
PFI has been developing
its internal capabilities
to develop and manage
sustainable buildings.
This includes:
§
targeting 5 Green Star
certification for significant
future developments;
§
creating and
implementing a
sustainable refurbishment
framework; and
§
planning to create an
in-house facilities
management function
to drive stronger
operational sustainability
performance of
existing buildings.
While this is a longer-term
risk, shifting tenant demand
has presented us with near
term opportunities to:
§
work with our tenants
to help them meet their
climate or environmental
commitments;
§
create value by
developing Green Star
certified buildings; and
§
consider opportunities
to improve building
performance (for
example, by installing
LED lighting) when
undertaking planned
capital expenditure
projects.
SuSTAINABILITY
39
RISKSEXPECTED TIME HORIZONRISK RESPONSERELATED OPPORTUNITIES
Transition - Reputation risk:
Failure to meet stakeholder expectations
regarding ESG performance could in turn
lead to difficulty in obtaining capital from:
§
shareholders due to increasing
preference to invest in demonstrably
sustainable companies; or
§
funders due to increased
scrutiny over climate risks
and their management.
Short term
Medium term
Long term
PFI sees successful execution
of its sustainability strategy
as being critical to managing
this risk. PFI has refreshed its
strategy during 2022 to
include initiatives such as a
Green Star certification target
for significant new buildings,
and initiatives to improve the
performance of existing
buildings in our portfolio.
See pages 28-29. for further
information on our
refreshed strategy.
PFI has also completed the
replacement of HVAC
systems using R22
refrigerant gas within
its operational control,
reducing our Scope 1
greenhouse gas emissions.
Transparency is also
important, so our
progress will continue to
be disclosed annually.
Strong ESG performance
could present an opportunity
for PFI to increase our
capital availability (for
example, through green
financing) and promote
our reputation.
Physical – Acute (damage) risk:
We may experience damage or loss
of access to PFI properties from
climate-related events, such as
storms or flooding.
Short term
Medium term
Long term
In response to this risk, PFI
has completed an exercise
to investigate which of PFI’s
properties may be most
vulnerable to physical
impacts from climate
change. This has helped us
to better understand what
actions we can take to
mitigate these risks through
our asset and portfolio
planning activities. We
will repeat this exercise
periodically as climate
science and the global
response evolve.
PFI completes physical
climate risk assessments as
part of our due diligence
checks for all new property
purchases, and to inform the
design of new buildings.
To ensure that we are
well-placed to respond
to a major climate event,
we continue to retain a
strong balance sheet.
We also closely manage
our insurance programme
which provides cover in
the event of damage from
weather events.
The work that we have done
to understand and plan for
the physical impacts of
climate change is not only
a risk mitigation approach;
it gives us the opportunity
to deliver longer-term
efficiencies by enabling us
to appropriately plan and
deliver changes at the most
effective times.
We also have an opportunity
to embed resilience to
climate impacts (rain, wind,
heat) into the design of
new buildings.

RISKSEXPECTED TIME HORIZONRISK RESPONSERELATED OPPORTUNITIES
Physical – Acute (insurance) risk:
Due to increasing climate-related claims,
insurance for climate events may
become more difficult to obtain or
increasingly expensive.
Short term
Medium term
Long term
As PFI relies on insurance
to remediate damage to
its properties, changes
in insurer preferences are
being carefully monitored.
PFI reviews its insurance
strategy annually and is
working to increase its
sophistication in insurance
management to ensure
that we are best placed
to address this risk should
it arise.
Due to PFI’s scale, PFI is
in a position to be able
to put in place tailored
insurance structures.
Describe the impact of climate-related risks and opportunities on the organisation’s
businesses, strategy, and financial planning.
Our understanding of PFI’s climate-related risks and opportunities has influenced the
following aspects of our business, strategy and financial planning:
§
PFI has refreshed its sustainability strategy with consideration for how PFI’s portfolio
will transform over the coming decades as the global community transitions to net
zero. You can read more about this refresh on pages 28-29.
§
PFI has commenced work to internalise its facilities management function. This will
allow us to play a more active role in the operational performance of our buildings.
At present, PFI has an outsourced facilities management model. This means that our
team is removed from some of the day-to-day operation of our buildings. This change
will position us to play a more active role in the energy and water efficiency of buildings,
work with tenants that want to improve the sustainability of the properties that they
occupy, and ensure that sustainable practices are embedded in our facilities
management services.
§
PFI has undertaken analysis of climate-related exposures for individual assets within
our portfolio. This has in turn fed into our asset planning and portfolio management
decisions. One affected property was divested during 2022.
§
PFI has enhanced its due diligence processes to consider climate-related risks for
new acquisitions. This includes the physical risks that a property may be exposed to.
Depending on the materiality and nature of the tenant we may also seek to understand
the impact of climate change on their business.
§
PFI has spent $2.5m to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions from refrigerants within
PFI’s operational control. This project was completed during 2022.
Describe the resilience of the organisation’s strategy, taking into consideration different
climate-related scenarios, including a 2°C or lower scenario.
PFI has undertaken both qualitative and quantitative assessments of the impact of different
climate-related scenarios on PFI’s strategy, including a 2°C or lower scenario. The analysis has
considered three Representative Concentration Pathways (RCPs): RCP2.6 (low climate change
scenario), RCP4.5 (moderate scenario) and RCP8.5 (high scenario).
We have determined that PFI’s high level strategy of investing in quality industrial property
remains robust in either a warming scenario of lower than 2°C, or a more extreme warming
scenario. PFI has a diversified portfolio, with a good spread of geographical locations and
tenants in various industries. This reduces the impact of a single event, and the concentration
risk from exposure to a particularly impacted industry.
SuSTAINABILITY
41
In 2021, PFI engaged a third party to undertake a review of the vulnerability of PFI’s
properties to a range of climate-related hazards across differing time horizons and climate-
related scenarios, which determined that PFI’s portfolio has a low to moderate risk overall
(on a relative basis). Four properties were assessed as having a heightened exposure to a
particular climate-related hazard. One of these properties was divested during 2022, leaving
three properties in the portfolio with a combined value of $43.8m or less than 2% of the total
portfolio value. This knowledge puts PFI in a good position to consider these hazards as part
of asset management decisions such as future capital expenditure.
Critically, climate-related physical risks are one of a number of strategic factors that PFI
takes into account when considering acquisitions and divestments.
PFI also considered the transition risks associated with its existing stock of buildings when
completing its sustainability strategy refresh during 2022. This influenced the following key
strategic choices which will position PFI to manage impacts of climate change on its strategy
over time:
§
standing up an in-house facilities management function, bringing the management team
closer to the operational performance of the buildings;
§
a commitment to targeting Green Star certification for significant new buildings;
§
a commitment to completing refurbishments of existing buildings with consideration
for sustainability; and
§
a target to implement energy monitoring at existing properties.
With our proactive plan to invest in the sustainability and climate resilience of our assets
over time, we consider the risk of stranded assets in our portfolio to be relatively low based on
our current understanding.
Finally, we undertake annual reviews of our climate change strategies to ensure we remain
responsive to climate risks as they evolve.

PROPERTY FOR INDUSTRY LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT — 2022
RISK MANAGEMENT
Describe the organisation’s processes for identifying and assessing climate-related risks.
Identification and assessment of PFI’s climate-related risks is led by PFI’s Head of
Sustainability and Operations, with contribution from senior management. This assessment
is completed annually.
Key risks are assessed and prioritised against a risk matrix of consequence and likelihood
in line with PFI’s Risk Management Framework. The time horizons considered are set out in the
strategy section of this report. The assessment considers PFI’s direct operations, as well as
upstream and downstream impacts.
This assessment is also informed by the external analysis on the physical climate risk
exposure of each PFI property that was completed during 2021.
In line with TCFD guidance, PFI considers both the risks associated with the transition
to a lower carbon economy (such as changes in regulation) and the risks associated with the
physical impacts of climate change (such as damage to buildings).
Describe the organisation’s processes for managing climate-related risks.
As described in the Governance section, PFI holds a monthly ESG management meeting
attended by the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Finance and Operating Officer. This
management meeting oversees PFI’s climate-related risk and opportunity assessments.
The Chief Executive Officer and Chief Finance and Operating Officer are responsible for
making decisions on whether to mitigate, transfer, accept, or control climate-related risks.
This structure gives us flexibility to review and adapt our response to climate-related risks
and opportunities over time as the external environment evolves.
PFI’s most material risks have been identified based on the likely consequences of those
risks materialising, and are set out in the Strategy section above. Actions being taken to
respond to PFI’s most material climate-related risks include:
§
incorporating climate change considerations into our due diligence process for
new acquisitions;
§
committing to a Green Star certification target for significant new buildings;
§
growing our capabilities in sustainable refurbishment;
§
disclosing to stakeholders on our ESG progress;
§
building a long-term insurance strategy;
§
periodically assessing the vulnerability of individual PFI properties to physical
climate impacts;
§
designing our new developments with consideration for future physical climate impacts;
§
bringing facilities management in-house and starting to measure the operational
performance of our buildings; and
§
maintaining a strong balance sheet.
Describe how processes for identifying, assessing, and managing climate-related risks
are integrated into the organisation’s overall risk management.
PFI’s climate-related risks are incorporated into PFI’s company-wide risk register to provide
a single view of risk for PFI. In most cases, climate risks are an extension of our existing risks
(for example, physical damage to buildings or strategic risk). Our controls for those risks
(such as acquisition due diligence and our insurance programme monitoring) have been
enhanced to include consideration for climate change impacts. We also introduced a new
control in 2021 whereby we will periodically review the PFI portfolio’s physical climate risk.
Assessment and management of climate risk is managed in the same way as our other
risks, with oversight by senior management and the Board.

reputational and market risks if we do not take meaningful steps to decrease them.
PFI’s approach to managing greenhouse gas emissions is set out on pages 30-33 of
our sustainability report.
Describe the targets used by the organisation to manage climate-related risks and
opportunities and performance against targets.
The following targets that had previously been set by PFI to manage climate-related risks
and opportunities were met during 2022:
§
Replacement of all HVAC systems currently in our portfolio and within our operational
control that use R22 refrigerant gas by 2023.
§
Improvement in our CDP score from C (in 2020) to B by 2023.
New targets have been set by PFI to manage climate-related risks and opportunities
through our sustainability strategy refresh, including:
§
Significant new buildings to target minimum 5 Green Star certification.
§
Implement power metering and monitoring for 50% of properties by the end of 2025.
§
Install solar systems at five buildings by the end of 2025.
§
Minimise and offset residual Scope 1 + 2 emissions.
Further information on PFI’s sustainability strategy is set out on pages 28-29 of our
sustainability report.

They comply with New Zealand Equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (NZ IFRS) and other applicable Financial
Reporting Standards as appropriate to for-profit entities. The financial statements also comply with International Financial Reporting

1.6. Accounting policies
No changes to accounting policies have been made during the year and policies have been consistently applied to all years presented.
Significant accounting policies have been included throughout the notes to the financial statements.
Other relevant policies are provided as follows:
Accounting for SaaS arrangements
Following developments in how to account for Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) arrangements during the prior year, the implementation
costs of $712,000 relating to a new property management and accounting software have been expensed through ‘Administrative expenses’
in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income in their entirety in the prior year. As at the beginning of the prior year, the
implementation costs incurred up to that date were held in ‘Accounts receivable, prepayments and other assets’ on the Consolidated
Statement of Financial Position in anticipation of being capitalised to ‘Property, plant and equipment’ on completion of the project.
Share capital
All shares on issue are fully paid, carry equal voting rights, share equally in dividends and any surplus on wind up and have no par value.
All shares are recognised at the fair value of the consideration received by the Company. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue
of new shares are shown in equity as a deduction from the proceeds.
Measurement of fair values
A number of the Group’s accounting policies and disclosures require the measurement of fair values. The Board and Management have
overall responsibility for overseeing all significant fair value measurements and transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy.
The fair value hierarchy has the following levels:
– Level 1: Fair value is based on observable quoted prices in active markets.
– Level 2: Fair value is based on observable market data where Level 1 quoted prices are not available.
– Level 3: Fair value is not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
The carrying values of all balance sheet financial assets and liabilities approximate their estimated fair values, apart from the fixed rate
bonds (refer Note 3.1 (ii) for further details).
The Board and Management review significant unobservable inputs and valuation adjustments. If third party information is used to measure
fair values, then the Board and Management assess the evidence obtained from the third parties to support the conclusion that such
valuations meet the requirements of NZ IFRS, including the level of the fair value hierarchy in which such valuations should be classified.
Goods and services tax
These financial statements have been prepared on a goods and services tax (GST) exclusive basis except for the accounts receivable
balance, accounts payable balance and other items where GST incurred is not recoverable. These balances are stated inclusive of GST.

1.7. Significant events and transactions
The financial position and performance of the Group was affected by the following events and transactions that occurred during the
reporting period:
Investment property acquisitions and disposals
On 22 February 2022, the Group settled the disposal of a non-current asset classified as held for sale located at 48 Seaview Road,
Wellington for a gross sales price of $10.00 million.
On 7 March 2022, the Group settled the acquisition of the property located at 318 Neilson Street, Penrose, for a net purchase price of
$6.83 million.
On 10 June 2022, the Group announced the divestment of 39 Edmundson Street, Napier for a gross sales price of $5.25 million. Settlement
of this divestment took place on 8 July 2022.
On 29 July 2022, the Group announced the divestment of 330 Devon Street East, New Plymouth for a gross sales price of $2.25 million.
Settlement of this divestment took place on 25 August 2022.
On 28 September 2022, the Group announced the divestment of 20 Constance Street, New Plymouth for a gross sales price of $4.90 million.
Settlement of this divestment took place on 17 October 2022.
On 6 December 2022, the Group announced the divestment of 8a & 8b Canada Crescent, Christchurch for a contracted gross sales price of
$21.00 million. This property is classified as a non-current asset classified as held for sale in these financial statements. Settlement of the
divestment is expected to take place early April 2023.
BNZ facilities
On 17 June 2022, the Group announced that it had refinanced its $100 million loan facility from the Bank of New Zealand (also known as
Syndicated Bank Facility C), extending the expiry date by one year from 2 July 2023 to 2 July 2024.
USPP facility
On 19 August 2022, a USPP facility was established with Pricoa Capital Group (Pricoa), part of Prudential Financial, Inc. (Prudential).
Prudential is one of the largest U.S. insurance companies. Establishing this facility with Pricoa provides the Group with access to long-term
funding in the future to finance investment opportunities. No initial draw of funds has been made as at 31 December 2022.
Share buyback
On 25 May 2022, the Group announced that it would begin an on-market share buyback programme to purchase up to 5% of its ordinary
shares (being 25,280,262 ordinary shares). Under the programme, the Group only acquires shares on the NZX Main Board for a period of
up to one year and all acquired shares are cancelled upon acquisition. The buyback programme was briefly paused from 1 July 2022,
as the Group entered a blackout period under its Financial Products Trading Policy in relation to the 2022 interim results and
recommenced on 23 August 2022, being the day following the interim results announcement.
The Group continued to assess the market conditions and investment opportunities throughout the buyback period and, following an
announcement regarding the commitment to the redevelopment project at 78 Springs Road on 19 December 2022, the share buyback
programme was paused indefinitely.
As at 31 December 2022, the Group had acquired and cancelled 3,554,708 shares for a cost of $8,658,412 (including transaction costs).
Impairment of goodwill
On 30 June 2022, the market value of PFI, based on the quoted market price, was below the value net assets of PFI. PFI assessed
whether objective evidence of impairment of goodwill exists, the outcome of which was that an impairment test has been performed.
PFI has estimated the recoverable amount by performing fair value less costs of disposal (FVLCOD) and value in use valuation approaches.
PFI has estimated the recoverable amount of the Property for Industry Limited CGU using FVLCOD (as the higher of the two valuation
approaches), resulting in an impairment loss of $29.086 million (2021: $NIL) against the carrying amount of goodwill (refer note 5.5).

2.1. Investment properties (continued)
Recognition and Measurement
Investment properties are held to earn rental income and for long-term capital appreciation. After initial recognition on the settlement
date at cost, including directly attributable acquisition costs, investment properties are measured at fair value, on the basis of valuations
made by independent valuers on at least an annual basis. Gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of investment properties
are included in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income in the year in which they arise.
Subsequent expenditure is charged to the asset’s carrying amount only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with
the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably.
The fair value of investment property reflects the Directors’ assessment of the highest and best use of each property and amongst other
things, rental income from current leases and assumptions about rental income from future leases in light of the current market
conditions. The fair value also reflects the cash outflows that could be expected in respect of the property.
No depreciation or amortisation is provided for on investment properties. However, for tax purposes, depreciation is claimed on building
fit-out and building structure. Deferred tax is recognised to the extent that tax depreciation recovery gain or loss on disposal is calculated
on the fit-out and building structure components separately. See section 5.2 for more details.
Investment properties under construction are carried at cost until it is possible to reliably determine their fair value, from which point they
are carried at fair value less costs to complete.
Gains or losses on the disposal of investment properties are recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income in the
period in which the investment properties are derecognised when they have been disposed.
Borrowing costs are capitalised if they are directly attributable to the acquisition or construction of a qualifying property. Capitalisation of
borrowing costs commences when the activities to prepare the asset are in progress and expenditures and borrowing costs are being incurred.
Capitalisation of borrowing costs will continue until the asset is substantially ready for its intended use. The rate at which borrowing costs are
capitalised is determined by reference to the weighted average borrowing costs of the Group and the average level of borrowings by the Group.
Key estimates and assumptions: Investment properties and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic
The fair value of investment properties are determined from valuations prepared by independent valuers.
All investment properties were valued as at 31 December 2022 by Bayleys Valuation Limited (Bayleys), CB Richard Ellis (CBRE), Colliers
International (Colliers), JLL or Savills. Bayleys, CBRE, Colliers, JLL and Savills are independent valuers and members of the New Zealand
Institute of Valuers.
All investment properties were valued as at 31 December 2021 (with the exception of 32 Honan Place, Avondale which was independently
valued as at 22 October 2021 by Jones Lang LaSalle (JLL), 520 Rosebank Road, Avondale which was independently valued as at
26 October 2021 by Savills and 22 Whakatu Road, Hastings which was independently valued as at 28 October 2021 by Bayleys, as part
of the acquisitions. These valuations remained the best estimate of fair value as at 31 December 2021).
PFI’s investment property valuation policy notes that: PFI will not use the same independent valuer for a property for more than three
consecutive year end valuations, however, in 2022 the Group made an exemption to this policy for four properties (2021: seven properties).
This exemption was made for two reasons: first, in order for certain properties adjacent to each other, for example, the Company’s Neilson
Street properties, to be valued by the same valuer, and second, to allocate the Company’s portfolio more evenly across the valuers.
As part of the valuation process, the Group’s management verifies all major inputs to the independent valuation reports, assesses
movements in individual property values and holds discussions with the independent valuers.
The fair value was determined using Level 3 valuation techniques via a combination of the following approaches:
• Direct Capitalisation: The subject property rental is divided by a market derived capitalisation rate to assess the market value of the asset.
Further adjustments are then made to the market value to reflect under or over renting, additional revenue and required capital expenditure.
• Discounted Cash Flow: Discounted cash flow projections for the subject property are based on estimates of future cash flows, supported
by the terms of any existing lease and by external evidence such as market rents for similar properties in the same location and condition,
and using discount rates that reflect current market assessments of the uncertainty in the amount and timing of the cash flows.
Below are the significant inputs used in the valuations, together with the impact on the fair value of a change in the inputs:

PROPERTY FOR INDUSTRY LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT — 2022
The estimated sensitivity of the fair value of investment property to changes in the market capitalisation rate (under the Direct
Capitalisation valuation approach) and discount rate (under the Discounted Cash Flows valuation approach) is set out in the table below:

Change (%)(5%)6%(4%)4%
Generally, a change in the assumption made for the adopted market capitalisation rate is accompanied by a directionally similar change
in the adopted terminal capitalisation rate. The adopted market capitalisation rate forms part of the direct capitalisation approach and the
adopted terminal capitalisation rate forms part of the discounted cash flow approach. Both valuation methodologies are considered when
determining an investment property’s fair value.
When calculating the direct capitalisation approach, the market rental has a strong interrelationship with the adopted market
capitalisation rate given the methodology involves assessing the total market rental income receivable from the property and capitalising
this in perpetuity to derive a capital value. In theory, an increase in the market rent and an increase in the adopted market capitalisation
rate could potentially offset the impact to the fair value. The same can be said for a decrease in the market rent and a decrease in the
adopted market capitalisation rate. A directionally opposite change in the market rent and the adopted market capitalisation rate could
potentially magnify the impact to the fair value.
When assessing a discounted cash flow, the adopted discount rate and adopted terminal capitalisation rate have a strong
interrelationship in deriving a fair value given the discount rate will determine the rate at which the terminal value is discounted to
the present value. In theory, an increase in the adopted discount rate and a decrease in the adopted terminal capitalisation rate could
potentially offset the impact to the fair value. The same can be said for a decrease in the discount rate and an increase in the adopted
terminal capitalisation rate. A directionally similar change in the adopted discount rate and the adopted terminal capitalisation rate
could potentially magnify the impact to the fair value.
The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic
In the prior year, the valuers had noted that, there was no evidence of a shift in market sentiment to suggest any material change
in commercial property values resulting from the changes in the Government-directed Alert Levels and Traffic Light Settings in
and around that date. The valuers did not comment on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic as at 31 December 2022.
The impact of climate change
The Group continues to assess the impact of climate change on the business and assets. The valuers have considered the impact but
have 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 topic.

Total rental and management fee income 110,909 108,653
Recognition and Measurement
Rental income from investment properties is recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income on a straight line basis
over the term of the lease. Fixed rental income adjustments are accounted for to achieve straight-line income recognition. Lease incentives
are capitalised to investment properties in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position and amortised on a straight line basis in the
Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income over the length of the lease to which they relate, as a reduction to rental income.
Rental abatements are usually offered by a landlord as an incentive for tenants to sign longer lease terms. However in this period
rental abatements were also offered to assist tenants struggling due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Rental abatements
are accounted for as a lease modification under NZ IFRS 16 ‘Leases’ and the expense is spread over the remaining life of the lease,
effectively accounted for as a lease incentive.
Management fee income is recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income in the period in which the services
are rendered.
Income generated from service charges recovered from tenants are included in the gross rental income with the service charge
expenses to tenants shown in Property costs. Such revenue is recognised in the accounting period the underlying expenses are
incurred in accordance with the contractual terms.

PROPERTY FOR INDUSTRY LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT — 2022
The fair value of the fixed rate bonds is based on their listed market prices at balance date and is classified as Level 1 in the fair value
hierarchy (2021: Level 1). Interest on the PFI010 Bonds is payable quarterly in February, May, August and November in equal instalments,
while interest on the PFI020 Bonds is payable quarterly in January, April, July and October; also in equal instalments. Both bonds are listed
on the NZDX.
(iii) Security
The bank facilities and fixed rate bonds are secured by way of a security trust deed and registered mortgage security which is required to be

Recognition and Measurement
The Group is exposed to changes in interest rates and uses derivative financial instruments, principally interest rate swaps, to mitigate this
risk. The Group does not apply hedge accounting. Derivative financial instruments are entered into to economically hedge the risk exposure.
Such derivative financial instruments are initially recognised at fair value on the date on which a derivative contract is entered into and
are subsequently re-measured to fair value at each reporting date. Transaction costs are expensed on initial recognition and recognised
in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income. The fair value of derivative financial instruments is based on valuations
prepared by independent treasury advisers and is the estimated amount that the Group would receive or pay to terminate the derivative
contract at reporting date, taking into account current interest rates and creditworthiness of the derivative contract counterparties.
Key estimates and assumptions: Derivatives
The fair values of derivative financial instruments are determined from valuations prepared by independent treasury advisers using Level
2 valuation techniques (2021: Level 2). These are based on the present value of estimated future cash flows accounting for the terms and
maturity of each contract and the current market interest rates at reporting date. Fair values also reflect the current creditworthiness
of the derivative counterparty. These values are verified against valuations prepared by the respective counterparties. The valuations
were based on market rates at 31 December 2022 of between 4.65% for the 90 day BKBM (31 December 2021: 0.97%) and 4.80% for
the 10 year swap rate (31 December 2021: 2.65%). There were no changes to these valuation techniques during the reporting period.

(iii) Imputation credit account (continued)
Recognition and Measurement
The Company and Group are a listed Portfolio Investment Entity (PIE) for the purposes of the Income Tax Act 2007. Tax is accounted for
on a consolidated Group basis and the Group is required to pay tax to the Inland Revenue as required by the Income Tax Act 2007. Income
tax expense comprises current and deferred tax and is recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income for the year.
Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the
reporting date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years. Deferred tax is provided for temporary differences
between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes.
Deferred tax is recognised on all temporary differences, including:
• The tax liability arising from accumulated depreciation claimed on investment properties, where applicable;
• The tax asset arising from the allowance for impairment;
• The tax liability arising from certain prepayments and other assets; and
• The tax asset / liability arising from the unrealised gains / losses on the revaluation of interest rate swaps.
Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to the temporary differences when they reverse, based on
the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date. Deferred tax is not recognised for:
• Temporary differences on the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and
that affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss;
• Temporary differences relating to investments in subsidiaries to the extent that it is probable that they will not reverse in the
foreseeable future; and
• Taxable temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of goodwill.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax liabilities and assets, and they
relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity, or on different entities, but they intend to settle
current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.
A deferred tax asset is recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which temporary
differences can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer
probable that the related tax benefit will be realised.
Additional income tax arising from distribution of dividends is recognised at the same time as the liability to pay the dividend
is recognised.
Key estimates and assumptions: Deferred tax
Investment properties are valued each year by independent valuers (as outlined in note 2.1). These values include an allocation of
the valuation between the land and building components. The calculation of deferred tax on depreciation recovered places reliance
on the land and building split in the valuation provided by the valuers. The building value is then split between fit-out and structure
based on the proportion of the tax book values of each.

On 30 June 2022 (being the last interim reporting period for the Group), the market value of the Group, based on the quoted market price,
was below the value net assets of the Group. PFI, with the assistance of an independent expert, assessed whether objective evidence of
impairment of goodwill exists, the outcome of which was that an impairment test has been performed. PFI estimated the recoverable
amount by performing fair value less costs of disposal (FVLCOD) and value in use valuation approaches. PFI estimated the recoverable
amount of the Property for Industry Limited CGU using FVLCOD (as the higher of the two valuation approaches), resulting in an impairment
loss of $29.086 million (2021: $NIL) against the carrying amount of goodwill. Once goodwill is impaired, it cannot be reversed.
As at 31 December 2022, the market value of the Group had further declined with the market price reported at $2.30 per share.

5.5. Goodwill (continued)
Recognition and Measurement
Goodwill arises on the acquisition of subsidiaries and represents the excess of the consideration transferred over the fair value of the
identifiable net assets acquired.
Goodwill is measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses. It is tested annually for impairment or more frequently if events
or changes in circumstances indicate potential impairment. An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount exceeds the
estimated recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income.
For impairment testing, assets are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use
that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or CGUs. PFI have identified one CGU, representing the entire Group.
To assess whether goodwill is impaired, the carrying amount of the CGU is compared to the recoverable amount, determined based on
the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs of disposal. Fair value less costs of disposal is the price that would be received
to sell an asset in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, less the costs of disposal. Value in use
is based on the estimated future cash flows, discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market
assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset or CGU.
Key estimates and assumptions: Goodwill
All goodwill relates to the Property for Industry Limited CGU.
The fair value of the Property for Industry Limited CGU for goodwill impairment testing is determined using Level 3 valuation techniques
(2021: Level 3). Fair value less costs of disposal is measured by calculating the fair value of the Property for Industry Limited CGU using
a 1 day volume-weighted average share price of $2.44 as at 30 June 2022, applying a control premium (15.2%, as determined by a third
party advisor as at 30 June 2022, 2021: 15.8%) and deducting costs of disposal. In performing a sensitivity analysis a control premium
range of between 15-20% (as determined by a third party advisor as at 30 June 2022 and based on observable premiums) has been used.
When a fair value less cost of disposal is estimated, critical judgements and estimates are made in relation to the appropriate premium
in assessing fair value of investment as a whole.
The recoverable amount was based on the fair value less costs of disposal. Due to significant decline in market value, the carrying
amount of Property for Industry Limited CGU was determined to be higher than its recoverable amount and an impairment loss of
$29.086 million was recognised against goodwill. Based on the 1 day volume-weighted average share price as at 31 December 2022
($2.30), the market capitalisation of the Group is less than the net assets of the Group at that date. All other assets have been assessed
for impairment and it has been determined that they are held at fair value with no impairment necessary.

5.7. Financial risk management
The Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks, including interest rate risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group’s overall financial
risk management strategy focuses on minimising the potential negative economic impact of unpredictable events on its financial performance.
(a) Interest rate risk
The Group’s exposure to the risk of changes in interest rates relates primarily to the Group’s borrowings with a floating interest rate.
The Group has an interest rate hedging policy which has been reviewed by an external firm with expertise in this area. The policy calls
for a band of the Group’s borrowings to be at fixed interest rates, with a greater proportion of the near term to be fixed and a lesser
percentage of the far dated to be fixed.
The Group uses derivative financial instruments, principally fixed rate payer interest rate swaps, to exchange its floating short-term
interest rate exposure for fixed long-term interest rate exposure in accordance with its policy bands. As the Group holds derivative financial
instruments, there is a risk that their fair value will fluctuate because of underlying changes in market interest rates. This is accepted as
a by-product of the Group’s interest rate hedging policy, however this risk is partially mitigated by the Group’s holding of fixed rate receiver
interest rate swaps. The fair value of derivative financial instruments is disclosed in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position
(refer to note 3.2).
The following sensitivity analysis shows the effect on (loss)/profit before tax and equity if interest rates at balance date had been 50 basis
points (0.50%) higher or lower with all other variables held constant.

Impact on equity 1,243 (1,209) 2,429 (2,642)
(b) Credit risk
Credit risk represents the risk that the counterparty to a financial instrument will fail to discharge its obligations and the Group will suffer
financial loss as a result. Financial instruments which potentially subject the Group to credit risk consist of cash and cash equivalents,
accounts receivable and other assets and interest rate swap agreements.
With respect to the credit risk arising from cash and cash equivalents, there is limited credit risk as cash is deposited with ANZ Bank
New Zealand Limited, a registered bank in New Zealand with a credit rating of AA– (Standard & Poor’s). The Group considers both historical
analysis and forward-looking information in determining any expected credit loss, and infers from this strong credit rating that no loss
allowance is deemed necessary.
With respect to the credit risk arising from accounts receivable, the Group only enters into lease arrangements over its investment
properties with parties whom the Group assesses to be creditworthy. It is the Group’s policy to subject all potential tenants to credit
verification procedures and monitor accounts receivable balances. As the Group has a wide spread of tenants over many industry sectors,
it is not exposed to any significant concentration of credit risk. Credit risk does not arise on property sale proceeds to be settled as title will
not transfer until settlement.
With respect to the credit risk arising from interest rate swap agreements, there is limited credit risk as all counterparties are registered
banks in New Zealand. The credit ratings of these banks are all AA– (Standard & Poor’s).
The carrying amount of financial assets as per note 5.6 approximates the Groups maximum exposure to credit risk. For certain receivables
the Group holds bank guarantees, parent company guarantees or personal guarantees.
(c) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will experience difficulty in either realising assets or otherwise raising sufficient funds to meet its
obligations arising from its financial liabilities.
The Group manages its liquidity risk by ensuring that it has committed funding facilities at a minimum of 105% of the projected peak debt
level over the next twelve months (excluding business acquisitions).
The maturities of the Group’s borrowings based on the remaining period is 3.0 years (2021: 3.9 years), with all borrowings due later than one
year (2021: later than one year). Further details of the Group’s borrowings, including the maturities of the Group’s borrowings, are disclosed

1. The carrying amount of derivative financial instruments shown is the net position of both derivative financial instrument assets and derivative financial instrument
liabilities.
(d) Capital risk management
The Group’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern whilst maximising the
return to shareholders through maintaining an optimal balance of debt and equity to optimise the cost of capital. In order to maintain
or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders,
issue new shares, buy back shares, or sell assets to reduce debt.
The Group’s capital structure includes borrowings and shareholders’ equity. The Group monitors capital on the basis of the loan to value
ratio and borrowing covenant compliance. The loan to value ratio is calculated as borrowings divided by investment properties. The Group’s
strategy is to maintain a loan to value ratio of no more than 40%. The covenants on all borrowings require a loan to value ratio of no more
than 50%, and this was complied with during the year.
The Group operates a Dividend Reinvestment Scheme (DRS) which allows eligible shareholders to reinvest dividends in shares. The Board,
at its sole discretion, may suspend the DRS at any time and/or apply a discount to which shares are issued under the DRS.

The long-term incentive plan (LTI Plan) was introduced for selected senior executives in the Group on 2 December 2019 (“2019 Grant”).
Under this plan, Performance Share Rights (PSRs) were issued to these senior executives which give them the right to receive ordinary
shares in the Group after a 1-3 year period, subject to achieving the performance hurdles outlined below. These are at-risk payments
designed to align the reward of these senior executives with the enhancement of shareholder value over a multi-year period. A second
grant of PSRs (“2020 Grant”) on 17 February 2020, a third grant of PSRs (“2021 Grant”) on 22 February 2021, and a fourth grant of PSRs
(“2022 Grant”) on 21 February 2022 were issued to these senior executives under equivalent conditions to the 2019 Grant.
The key terms and conditions related to the PSRs under the LTI Plan are as follows:
• The PSRs are granted for nil consideration and have a nil exercise price.
• The participant must remain an employee of the Group as at the relevant vesting date for each tranche of PSRs.
• Each grant under the LTI Plan has three tranches with two separate performance hurdles applying to each tranche. The three tranches
enable a third of the PSRs to vest after one year, two years and three years from the service commencement dates of 1 January 2020,
1 January 2021 and 1 January 2022. For each tranche:
–50% of the PSRs are subject to a performance hurdle of the Company’s rolling three year Funds From Operations (FFO) growth
equalling or exceeding the three year CPI growth to September immediately prior to the vesting date (“Part A”); and
–50% of the PSRs are subject to a performance hurdle of the Company’s Total Shareholder Returns (TSR) outperforming the TSR of
a property peer group (comprising other listed property issuers) over the period from the commencement date to the vesting date
for the relevant tranche (“Part B”).
• At vesting, subject to meeting performance hurdles, each PSR is converted to one ordinary share. The LTI Plan is a dividend protected
LTI Plan and the senior executives will receive additional shares representing the value of dividends paid over the vesting period.
The senior executives are liable for tax on the shares received at this point.

The PSRs outstanding at 31 December 2022 had a weighted – average contractual life of 1.34 years (31 December 2021: 1.33 years).
The LTI Plan has resulted in a share-based payment reserve totalling $615,000 as at 31 December 2022 (2021: $751,000).
Fair value measurement of LTI Plan
The fair value of the PSRs have been measured using a Monte Carlo simulation model. Service and non-market performance conditions
were not taken into account in measuring fair value. The TSR performance metric is a market condition and has been factored into the
fair value of the PSRs at grant date. However, the FFO performance metric is a non-market condition and is not factored into the fair value
of the PSRs.
The inputs used in the measurement of the fair values at grant date were as follows.

Risk-free interest rateN/A2.23%N/A0.30%N/A1.22%
The expected volatility and correlation measures are based on the standard deviation and correlation of weekly returns of the property peer
group, over a three year period.
The risk-free rate was based on government bond yields over a period of 1, 2 and 5 years.
Recognition and Measurement
The PSRs are measured at fair value at grant date and expensed over the period during which the participant becomes unconditionally
entitled to the shares, based on an estimate of shares that will eventually vest. The corresponding entry of the expense is equity. The fair
value of the PSRs which are vested – and the corresponding shares which are issued – are transferred from the share-based payment
reserve to share capital on issue of the shares.
Key estimates and assumptions: Long-term incentive plan
It has been assumed that the selected senior executives will remain employed with the Company on each of the vesting dates and that
the non-market performance conditions will be met.

On 20 February 2023, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the payment of a net dividend of 2.650000 cents per share to be paid
on 8 March 2023. The gross dividend (3.107973 cents per share) carries imputation credits of 0.457973 cents per share. The payment of
this dividend will not have any tax consequences for the Group and no liability has been recognised in the Consolidated Statement of
Financial Position as at 31 December 2022 in respect of this dividend.
At the end of January 2023, the Auckland region experienced severe flooding and in the middle of February 2023 Cyclone Gabrielle’s impact
was felt across much of the North Island and the upper South Island of New Zealand. A small number of the Group’s properties suffered
damage. It is the Group’s expectation that any losses will be covered by material damage and business interruption insurances and
accordingly the Group does not expect the impact to have an adverse material impact at the date of signing these accounts.

Description of the key audit matterHow our audit addressed the key audit matter
Valuation of investment properties
The valuations were carried out by
independent third-party valuers who
performed their work in accordance with
New Zealand International Accounting
Standard 40Investment Propertyand
relevant property valuation standards. The
valuers are rotated across the portfolio on
a three-yearly cycle, with the exception of
certain properties as disclosed in note 2.1.
The Group has a
dopted the assessed
values determined by the valuers.
In determining a property’s valuation, two
approaches are generally used to
determine the fair value of an investment
property: the direct capitalisation
approach and the discounted cash flow
approach, to arrive at a range of valuation
outcomes from which the valuers derive a
point estimate.
The valuers take into account property
specific information such
as the
contracted tenancy agreements and rental
income earned by the asset. They apply
assumptions in relation to market
capitalisation rates, discount rates and
market rental and the rental growth rate,
based on current market assessments.
The valuers have also considered but
made no explicit adjustments in respect of
climate change matters.
The existence of significant estimation
uncertainty, coupled with
the fact that only
a small percentage difference in individual
property valuation assumptions, when
aggregated, could result in material
misstatement, is why we have given
specific audit focus and attention to this
area.
In assessing the valuation of the investment
properties, our procedures included the following:
We held discussions with management to understand:
●movements in the Group’s investment pro
perty
portfolio;
●significant changes in the condition of properties;
and
●the controls in place over the valuation process.
For a selection of properties, the carrying value was
agreed to the external valuation reports and we held
discussions with the valuers. Applying a risk-based
approach, we agreed the carrying values of a
selection of properties to the external valuation
reports.
The valuers confirmed t
hat the valuation approach for
the properties was in accordance with accounting and
valuation standards, and that climate change matters
were considered as part of their valuation process.
We assessed the valuers’ qualifications, expertise and
their objectivity and we found no evidence to suggest
that their objectivity was compromised in their
performance of the valuations.
We carried out procedures, on a
sample basis, to test
whether the property specific information supplied to
the valuers by the Group reflected the underlying
property records held by the Group.
Assumptions
Our work over the assumptions used in the valuations
focused on those properties where the assumptions
used and/or year-on-year fair value movement were
considered unusual. We engaged our own in-house
valuation specialist to assess th
e methodologies and
critique and challenge, against market evidence and
current market conditions, the key assumptions used
by the valuers.

Description of the key audit matterHow our audit addressed the key audit matter
Goodwill impairment assessment
As disclosed in note 5.5 of the financial
statements, the goodwill balance of $29.1
million was recognised when the
Company merged with Direct Property
Fund Limited.
As at the 30 June 2022 interim reporting
date the market capitalisation of the
Group, based on the quoted market price,
was below the net assets of the Group.
This was considered an indicator of
impairment.
With t
he assistance of management's
expert, management assessed whether
objective evidence of impairment of
goodwill existed. Management estimated
the recoverable amount using fair value
less costs of disposal (FVLCOD) as the
higher of the two valuation approaches,
being FVLCOD and value in use. The
significant estimates and judgement relate
to the control premium and costs of
disposal.
This resulted in an impairm
ent loss of
$29.1 million against the carrying amount
of goodwill as at 30 June 2022 interim
reporting period. The goodwill balance at
31 December 2022 was nil.
The impairment testing of goodwill is
considered a key audit matter due to the
size of the balance, the impact on the net
loss for the year and the significant level
of management estimation and judgement
applied in performing the impairment
assessme
nt.
We considered management’s process for testing
goodwill impairment and performed the following
procedures:
●engaged with our in-house valuation specialist to
assess the reasonableness of management’s
assessment including:
₋assessed the appropriateness of using FVLCD
approach against New Zealand International
Accounting Standard 36Impairment of Assets;
₋considered the reasonableness of the control
premiu
m and performed sensitivity analysis
around the control premium assumption to
ascertain the extent of change that would be
required for the goodwill balance not to be
impaired; and
₋assess the reasonableness of the cost of
disposal estimate;
●agreed the 1 day volume-weighted average share
price at 30 June 2022 to NZX trading data;
●assessed management’s calculation that the
FVLCD was below the Group’s net a
ssets as the
30 June 2022; and
●assessed the appropriateness of the financial
statement disclosures.

Our audit approach
Overview
Overall group materiality: $3.1 million, which represents
approximately 5% of profit before tax excluding valuation movements
relating to investment properties and interest rate derivatives, and
goodwill impairment.
We chose this benchmark because, in our view, it presents a more
stable basis against which the performance of the Group is most
likely to be measured by users.
Fol
lowing our assessment of the risk of material misstatement, a full
scope audit was performed over the consolidated Group balances.
As reported above, we have two key audit matters, being:
●Valuation of investment properties; and
●Goodwill impairment assessment.
As part of designing our audit, we determined materiality and assessed the risks of material
misstatement in the financial statements. In parti
cular, we considered where management made
subjective judgements; for example, in respect of significant accounting estimates that involved
making assumptions and considering future events that are inherently uncertain. As in all of our audits,
we also addressed the risk of management override of internal controls, including among other
matters, consideration of whether there was evidence of bias that
represented a risk of material
misstatement due to fraud.
Materiality
The scope of our audit was influenced by our application of materiality. An audit is designed to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.
Misstatements may arise due to fraud or error. They are considered material if, individually or in
aggregate, they could reasonably be
expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on
the basis of the financial statements.
Based on our professional judgement, we determined certain quantitative thresholds for materiality,
including the overall Group materiality for the financial statements as a whole as set out above. These,
together with qualitative considerations, helped us to determine the scope of our audit, the nat
ure,
timing and extent of our audit procedures and to evaluate the effect of misstatements, both individually
and in aggregate, on the financial statements as a whole.
How w e tailored our group audit scope
We tailored the scope of our audit in order to perform sufficient work to enable us to provide an opinion
on the financial statements as a whole, taking into account the structure of the Group, the a
ccounting
processes and controls, and the industry in which the Group operates.

Other information
The Directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the
information included in the Annual report, but does not include the financial statements and our
auditor's report thereon.
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express
any form of audit opinion or assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection
with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other
information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the
financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially
misstated. If, based on the work we have performed on the other information that we obtained prior to
the date of th
is auditor’s report, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other
information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibilities of the Directors for the financial statements
The Directors are responsible, on behalf of the Company, for the preparation and fair presentation of
the financial statements in accordance with NZ IFRS and IFRS,
and for such internal control as the
Directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the Directors are responsible for assessing the Group’s ability to
continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the
goi
ng concern basis of accounting unless the Directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease
operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements, as a whole,
are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and t
o issue an auditor’s report that
includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that
an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (NZ) and ISAs will always detect a material misstatement
when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually
or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influen
ce the economic decisions of users
taken on the basis of these financial statements.

STATuTORY INFORMATION

Directors, all of whom are independent.
More information on the PFI Board and Management Team is available on the PFI website at https://www.propertyforindustry.co.nz/
about-pfi/our-people/.
PRINCIPAL ACTIVITY
PFI is a listed industrial property investment company. PFI and its subsidiary, P.F.I. Property No. 1 Limited (together, the Group),
invest solely in New Zealand. There has not been any change in the nature of the Company’s or Group’s business in the year ended
31 December 2022, nor in the classes of business in which the Company has an interest.
GOVERNANCE
The Board of PFI is committed to the highest standards of business behaviour and accountability. The Board regularly reviews and
assesses the Group’s governance structures and processes to ensure they are consistent with best practice standards.
As part of the Board’s ongoing monitoring and review of the Group’s governance framework, the Board has developed a Corporate
Governance Manual (the Manual) that forms the Group’s corporate governance framework. It incorporates the NZX Listing Rules
relating to corporate governance and the recommendations of the NZX Corporate Governance Code (the NZX Code), and was last
updated in August 2022.
A copy of the Manual is available on the PFI website at https://www.propertyforindustry.co.nz/about-pfi/governance/ and includes:
1. Code of Ethics;
2. Board Charter;
3. Audit and Risk Committee Charter;
4. People Committee Charter, which includes the Company’s Remuneration Policy;
5. Continuous Disclosure Policy;
6. Financial Product Trading Policy; and
7. Diversity and Inclusion Policy.
COMPLIANCE WITH NZX REQuIREMENTS
PFI considers that it complied with the NZX Code in the year ended 31 December 2022.
NZX CODE: kEY PRINCIPLES
This section sets out PFI’s corporate governance policies, practices and processes by reference to the NZX Code’s eight key
principles and supporting recommendations.
93
Principle One: Code of Ethical Behaviour
Directors should set high standards of ethical behaviour, model this behaviour and hold management accountable for these
standards being followed throughout the organisation.
Code of Ethics
The Board has developed a Code of Ethics that forms part of the Manual. The Code of Ethics provides a set of expectations for PFI’s
Directors, employees and contractors surrounding their business conduct when representing PFI. The Code intends to facilitate
behaviour that is consistent with PFI’s business standards.
PFI monitors compliance with the Code of Ethics through its management processes as well as through the whistleblowing
procedures set out in the Code of Ethics itself. PFI provides access to a confidential third-party agency for whistleblowing purposes.
All Directors and employees are informed of the content of the Code of Ethics prior to commencing such roles and will be informed
of any future change to the Code of Ethics. Training on ethical conduct was last provided to employees in 2022, following the
August 2022 review of the Code of Ethics and related internal policies.
Financial Product Trading Policy
PFI is committed to transparency and fairness in financial product dealing. The rules for dealing in PFI’s listed securities are
contained in its Financial Product Trading Policy. The policy’s main purpose is to ensure no Director, employee or contractor uses
their position or knowledge of PFI or its business to engage in financial product dealing for personal benefit, or to provide a benefit
to any third party.
The Financial Product Trading Policy applies to Directors, employees and contractors of PFI and its subsidiary, and trusts and
companies controlled by those persons (Restricted Persons).
The key points of the policy are:
§
a prohibition on “insider trading”, meaning persons who hold non-publicly available price-sensitive information must not pass
on that information, nor acquire or dispose of PFI’s listed securities at any time;
§
Restricted Persons must obtain consent to trade PFI listed securities at any time; and
§
no trading is permitted by Restricted Persons during “blackout periods” from the balance date and the half-year balance date
until the day following the release of the relevant results to NZX.

Principle Two: Board Composition & Performance
To ensure an effective Board, there should be a balance of independence, skills, knowledge, experience and perspectives.
Board Charter
The Board has developed a charter that sets out its authority, duties and responsibilities. The Board, through a set of formal policies
and procedures:
§
establishes a clear framework for oversight and management of PFI’s operations and for defining the respective roles and
responsibilities of the Board and Management;
§
structures itself to be effective in discharging its responsibilities and duties;
§
sets standards of behaviour expected of the Company’s employees and representatives;
§
safeguards the integrity of the Company’s financial reporting;
§
ensures timely and balanced disclosure;
§
respects and facilitates the rights of shareholders;
§
recognises and manages risk;
§
encourages Board and management effectiveness;
§
ensures remuneration of Directors, employees and contractors is fair and reasonable;
§
recognises the legitimate interests of all stakeholders (including stakeholder expectations around ESG and sustainability); and
§
promotes a corporate culture which embraces inclusion and diversity.
The Board’s primary focus is on the creation of long-term shareholder wealth and ensuring PFI is run in accordance with
appropriate management and corporate governance practices. The Board has an obligation to protect and enhance the value of
the assets of PFI for the benefit of PFI and its shareholders. It achieves this through approval of appropriate corporate strategies,
business plans and budgets, and monitoring actual results against the Company’s strategic objectives. PFI’s Board pays particular
attention to capital structure, capital expenditure, acquisition and divestment proposals, performance against PFI’s sustainability
strategy, and ensuring effective audit, risk and compliance procedures are in place to protect PFI’s assets and ensure integrity of
reporting. The Board is also responsible for approving PFI’s Corporate Governance Manual and maintaining corporate and Board
values to ensure PFI acts to the highest ethical standards and integrity.
The Board delegates implementation of the adopted corporate strategies to the Management Team and reviews the performance of
the Management Team on a regular basis.
95
Board Composition
The Company’s constitution requires the Company to comply with the minimum board composition requirements under the NZX
Listing Rules (being at least three directors). As at 31 December 2022, there were five Directors, all of whom are independent.
The NZX Listing Rules require at least two Independent Directors, and it is the Company’s policy that there should always be a

OTHER DISCLOSURES
96
PROPERTY FOR INDUSTRY LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT — 2022
Carolyn Steele, who joined PFI’s Board on 22 August 2022 and is now Chair of the Audit and Risk Committee, is considered to
be PFI’s financial expert. Carolyn has a background in investment management, capital markets and mergers and acquisitions,
having spent six years as a portfolio manager at the Guardians of New Zealand Superannuation, and a further ten years prior to
that in investment banking at Forsyth Barr and First NZ Capital / Credit Suisse. Carolyn is also Audit and Risk Committee Chair
for Green Cross Health, WEL Networks and Vulcan Steel and an Investment Committee member at Oriens Capital. PFI’s Board
and Management consider that Carolyn has a strong financial background for the purposes of Listing Rule 2.13.2.
Director Independence
Director independence is determined in accordance with the requirements of the NZX Listing Rules. The Board has determined
that, as at 31 December 2022 all Directors of the Company were independent: Anthony Beverley, David Thomson, Dean Bracewell,
Gregory Reidy, and Carolyn Steele. This assessment is based on the fact that these Directors all share the following characteristics:
§
They are all Non-Executive Directors.
§
They are not currently, or within the last three years have not been, employed in an executive role by the Company, or any of
its subsidiaries, and / or there has been a period of at least three years between ceasing such employment and serving on
the Board.
§
They are not currently holding, or within the last 12 months they have not held, a senior role in a provider of material
professional services to the Company or any of its subsidiaries.
§
They do not currently have, or within the last three years they have not had, a material business relationship (e.g. as a supplier
or customer) with the Company or any of its subsidiaries.
§
They are not a substantial product holder of the Company, or a senior manager of, or a person otherwise associated with,
a substantial product holder of the Company.
§
They do not currently have, or within the last three years they have not had a material contractual relationship with the
Company or any of its subsidiaries, other than as a director.
§
They do not currently have close family ties with anyone in the categories listed above.
§
No director has been a Director with the Company for a length of time that may compromise independence.
The Board has resolved that Gregory Reidy is now considered to be independent as more than three years have passed since his
role as Managing Director.
Anthony Beverley has served on the Board of PFI for 21 years and has been Chair of the Board for four years. When assessing
independence, the Board considered the effect of Anthony Beverley’s length of tenure, and has concluded that Anthony Beverley’s
length of tenure has not in practice impacted his ability to bring an independent view to decisions in relation to the Company, act in
the best interests of the Company, and represent the interests of the Company’s financial product holders generally, having regard
to the factors described in the NZX Code that may impact Director independence.
The PFI Board is continuing to progress its succession planning, and notes that any change in Board composition needs to be
balanced with ensuring that necessary skills, experience and depth of understanding are retained on the Board, particularly when
facing economic uncertainty. As with existing Directors, future appointees will be expected to provide governance leadership
potential in addition to their specific skills.
Details of Directors’ relevant interests in the Company’s financial products as at 31 December 2022 can be found in the section
entitled Principle Four: Reporting and Disclosure.
Under the Board Charter (described in further detail above) any Chief Executive Officer of PFI is not eligible to be appointed as
the Chair of the Board.
Director Appointments
In compliance with Listing Rule 2.7.1, each Director must not hold office without re-election past the third annual meeting following
the Director’s appointment or three years, whichever is longer. Any Director appointed by the Board must not hold office (without
re-election) past the next annual meeting following the Director’s appointment. As such, Director Carolyn Steele was appointed to
the Board on 22 August 2022 and is required to retire and stand for re-election at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders in 2023.
Where a Board vacancy arises or the Board otherwise determines a need to appoint a new Director, it is the responsibility of the
People Committee to identify and nominate external candidates to fill Board vacancies as and when they arise (see Principle Three
below for further information). PFI enters into a formal written agreement with all new Directors, which establishes the terms of
their appointment.
97
Diversity and Inclusion
The breakdown of the gender composition of PFI’s Directors, Officers and Senior Leadership Team as at the end of the previous two
financial years is as follows:

The Board believes that a diverse and inclusive work environment is critical to the sustainability of PFI. At PFI diversity means
recognising and valuing the many ways that we are different. This includes differences that relate to gender, age, culture, ethnicity,
disability, religion, and sexual orientation, as well as differences in background, skills, perspective, and experiences.
The Board has established a Diversity and Inclusion Policy in accordance with the NZX Code. The PFI Board believes that an
inclusive work environment where everyone is treated equitably and fairly and is supported to be successful in their roles is
essential for it to be able to deliver its strategic objectives and continue to meet its responsibilities to its customers, its employees,
the communities in which it works, and its shareholders.
The Board has evaluated PFI’s performance against the Company’s Diversity and Inclusion Policy through regular employee
engagement surveys to ensure that our overall work culture remains inclusive. The Board also sets Diversity and Inclusion targets
annually, which are monitored quarterly. The Board considers that it, in conjunction with the Management Team, has fostered a
work environment where diversity and inclusion, together with different skills, abilities and experiences, is recognised and valued,
and employees are treated equitably and fairly in order that talented people who will contribute to the achievement of our strategic
objectives are attracted to work for PFI and are able to be retained.
The Board is committed to taking steps that will see diversity in the composition of both the Board and leadership team move
progressively over time. It is important to note that PFI has a small team comprising 19 permanent and dedicated team members
and that nine of these team members are female (2021: seven out of 16).
Principle Three: Board Committees
The Board should use committees where this will enhance its effectiveness in key areas, while still retaining Board
responsibility.
Audit and Risk Committee
The Board has established an Audit and Risk Committee in accordance with the NZX Code. The Board has approved a written
charter that outlines the committee’s authority, duties, responsibilities, relationship with the Board and a policy on audit
independence. The committee develops and monitors procedures to ensure the Board is properly and regularly informed and
updated on corporate financial matters. The Board is required to regularly review the performance of the Audit and Risk Committee.
The Audit and Risk Committee’s functions include:
§
recommending the appointment and removal of external auditors (see Principle Seven: Auditors for further detail);
§
reviewing PFI’s financial reporting documents with the view to ensuring PFI maintains accurate financial and accounting
records; and
§
reviewing earnings releases and financial reports.
In addition to the committee’s audit and financial reporting related functions, it is also responsible for providing a view on PFI’s
business and financial risk management process, including the adequacy of the overall control environment, independence from
management and controls in selected areas representing significant risk.
The Audit and Risk Committee generally meets four times a year, and at least twice a year (or more frequently if required) with the
Group’s auditor to review the outcome of the interim review (30 June) and annual audit (31 December). Employees only attend
Audit and Risk Committee meetings at the invitation of the committee.

PROPERTY FOR INDUSTRY LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT — 2022
The Audit and Risk Committee must have a minimum of three Directors as members and the majority must be Independent
Directors. No executive may be a member of the Audit and Risk Committee. The Chair of the Board is not eligible to be chair
of the Audit and Risk Committee.
At 31 December 2022, the members of the Audit and Risk Committee were Carolyn Steele (Chair of the Audit and Risk Committee),
Anthony Beverley and David Thomson. Former Director Susan Peterson was Chair of the Audit and Risk Committee until
14 December 2022. Carolyn Steele became a member of the Audit and Risk Committee on 22 August 2022 and became Chair of
the Audit and Risk Committee on 14 December 2022. Anthony Beverley and David Thomson were members of the committee at
all times during 2022. Susan Peterson, Anthony Beverley and David Thomson attended the four meetings of the committee held
during 2022, whilst Carolyn Steele attended one meeting as a member of the Audit and Risk Committee in December 2022.
People Committee
The Board has also established a People Committee (previously known as the Nomination and Remuneration Committee) in
accordance with the NZX Code. The Board has approved a written charter to assist the committee to fulfil this purpose, which
outlines the Committee’s authority, duties, responsibilities and relationship with the Board. The Board is required to regularly
review the performance of the People Committee and undertakes a review annually of its objectives and activities.
The People Committee’s role includes identifying and recommending individuals for nomination to be members of the Board
and its committees, regularly reviewing composition and successions plans and, where appropriate, recommending changes
to the composition of the Board to ensure PFI maintains the right composition of Directors to effectively govern and provide
guidance to the business. The Committee is also responsible for assisting the Board with performance reviews, assessing
independence of PFI’s Directors, and regularly reviewing the remuneration policy (for further information on remuneration,
see Principle Five: Remuneration).
When nominating candidates, the Committee considers a range of factors as well as perceived needs of the Board at the time.
Some of these factors include qualifications, experience, diversity, requirements of the NZX Listing Rules and the ability to
exercise an independent perspective and informed judgment on matters that come before the Board. While the Committee has
the authority to obtain legal or other independent professional advice, it may only nominate a person to be a Director of PFI with
approval of the Board.
The People Committee must have at least two members, all of whom must be Independent Directors.
At 31 December 2022, the members of the People Committee were Dean Bracewell (Chair of the People Committee), Anthony
Beverley and David Thomson. Dean Bracewell and Anthony Beverley were members of the committee at all times during 2022
and attended the five meetings of the committee held during 2022. Former Director, Susan Peterson, was a member of the People
Committee until her retirement from PFI’s Board on 14 December 2022 and attended the five meetings of the committee held
during 2022. David Thomson was appointed as a People Committee member on 14 December 2022. There were no further
meetings of the committee after that date during 2022.
Other Committees
The Board does not consider that any additional Board committees as standing Board committees need to be established at
this stage.
99
Principle Four: Reporting & Disclosure
The Board should demand integrity in non-financial reporting, and in the timeliness and balance of corporate disclosures.
Continuous Disclosure Policy
PFI is committed to its obligation to inform shareholders and market participants of all material information that might affect the
price of its listed securities in accordance with the NZX Listing Rules and the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013. Accordingly, the
Board has adopted a Continuous Disclosure Policy which applies to the Group, and the Directors and all relevant employees of PFI.
The Board has also appointed the Chief Finance and Operating Officer to act as the Group Disclosure Officer. The Group Disclosure
Officer is responsible for ensuring policy compliance and for investigating any alleged breaches.
Corporate Governance Documents
PFI’s Board and committee charters, annual and interim reports, company announcements, the policies recommended in the
NZX Code and other investor-related material are available on PFI’s website.
Financial Reporting
PFI is committed to appropriate financial reporting. Oversight of the Company’s financial reporting is applied through the Audit
and Risk Committee.
Non-Financial Disclosure
PFI is committed to non-financial disclosure, including reporting on environmental, social sustainability and governance factors
and practices. PFI acknowledges it will be required to provide climate-related disclosures as a climate reporting entity under the
Financial Sector (Climate-related Disclosures and Other Matters) Amendment Act 2021 in its FY23 Annual Report, and notes that
the Company already voluntarily reports climate-related disclosures in line with TCFD recommendations (see pages 36-43).

Long Term Incentive Plan
LTIs are at-risk payments designed to align the reward of certain executives with the enhancement of shareholder value over
a multi-year period.
The current LTI plan commenced in the year ended 31 December 2019, and is a dividend protected share rights plan. Under the
plan, invited executives are granted a number of share rights determined by dividing the face value of the grant by the value of
one PFI share at the date of the grant. At vesting, subject to meeting performance hurdles, each share right is converted to one
ordinary share. The executive may also receive additional shares representing the value of dividends paid over the vesting period.
The executive is liable for tax on the shares received at this point.
Each grant under the LTI Plan has three tranches with two separate performance hurdles applying to each tranche. The three
tranches enable a third of the share rights to vest after one year, two years and three years from the commencement date.
For each tranche:
§
50% of the share rights are subject to a performance hurdle of the Company’s rolling three year Funds From Operations growth
equalling or exceeding the three year CPI growth to the September immediately prior to the vesting date; and
§
50% of the share rights are subject to a performance hurdle of the Company’s Total Shareholder Returns (TSR) outperforming
the TSR of a property peer group (comprising other listed property issuers) over the period from the commencement date to
the vesting date for the relevant tranche.
Grants are intended to continue to be made annually with performance measured over a three year period.
The total share rights granted, vested, and lapsed during 2022 and 2021, and the share rights outstanding at the end of
31 December 2021 and 31 December 2022 are as follows:

PROPERTY FOR INDUSTRY LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT — 2022
Principle Six: Risk Management
Directors should have a sound understanding of the material risks faced by the issuer and how to manage them. The Board
should regularly verify that the issuer has appropriate processes that identify and manage potential and material risks.
Risk Governance
PFI has established a Risk Management Framework to ensure that risks are managed within PFI’s Board-approved risk appetite.
The Risk Management Framework was last reviewed and approved by PFI’s Board in November 2021. PFI has established the
following responsibilities for risk governance:
ROLERESPONSIBILITY
BoardThe Board sets the risk appetite, risk tolerances and desired risk culture. It oversees the
assessment, management and reporting of key business risks.
Audit and Risk Committee
(A&RC)
The A&RC supports the Board by providing a specific focus on risk and compliance matters,
including providing risk oversight and ensuring an appropriate risk management framework
is in place, appointing the external auditor and overseeing the internal control environment.
Senior Leadership Team The Senior Leadership Team are responsible for promoting good risk practices by their teams.
StaffEvery staff member is responsible for the identification, management and escalation of risks
as part of their role.
105
Key Risks
PFI has a robust risk assessment process. Risk assessments are carried out by the Management Team at least annually in
accordance with PFI’s Risk Management Framework. A risk assessment includes: identification of material risks; assessment
of the consequences and likelihood of the risk; and development of controls to achieve a level of residual risk that is within
PFI’s Board-approved risk appetite.
The table below outlines some of PFI’s key business risks following the latest refresh of its risk register, how these risks are
managed, and a commentary on these risks for 2022.
RISK DESCRIPTIONHOW PFI MANAGES THE RISK2022 COMMENTARY
Economic and market risk:
The risk of adverse changes in the
economic environment, political
environment or the broader
investment market, impacting
property values and income.
We monitor both wider economic
conditions and the industrial
property market through research
and relationships with market
participants. Quarterly reporting
on market conditions is provided
to the Board.
PFI has continued to carefully monitor the
impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, supply
chain constraints, inflation, and other market
challenges during 2022. PFI has responded
early to address changing market conditions
and has continued to deliver robust results
during FY22.
Strategic risk:
The risk of failing to appropriately
set, execute or adapt PFI’s strategy
(for example, failing to ensure
portfolio optimisation or adapt to
changing market preferences).
PFI’s strategy is reviewed regularly
by the Board and Management Team.
Quarterly reporting on strategy
implementation is provided to
the Board.
Good progress was made during 2022
on the implementation of PFI’s strategy
as set out on pages 12-17 of this report.
In particular, PFI committed to major
brownfields development projects at
30-32 Bowden Road and 78 Springs Road,
which will commence during 2023.
Health, safety and wellbeing risk:
The risk of failing to manage
health, safety and wellbeing
hazards at a PFI property.
Health, safety and wellbeing risks are
actively managed by PFI’s health and
safety committees. A wide variety of
risk mitigants are in place, including
monitoring visits and proactive
responses to the identification of
potential hazards.
Continuous improvement of PFI’s health,
safety and wellbeing management has been
a key focus during 2022. PFI continues to
experience a low level of incidents. Further
information on health, safety and wellbeing
can be found in the Sustainability section of
this Annual Report.
Financial performance risk:
The risk of financial performance
not being managed to expectations.
PFI has a wide suite of controls for
this risk, including a delegations
policy, analytical reviews, forecasting,
budgeting, and proactive management.
PFI continued to carefully and successfully
manage its financial performance risk as
outlined on pages 4 to 6.
People Risk:
The risk of failing to attract and
retain talented staff or deterioration
in staff performance.
PFI actively manages this risk through
a suite of controls, including training of
staff, documentation of key processes,
annual staff engagement surveys,
annual review of staff performance
and pay adjustments.
PFI has carefully monitored this risk during
2022 in light of the difficult labour market.
However, the Company continues to achieve
strong employee engagement (84% in 2022)
and low turnover.
PFI also completes annual climate change risk assessments. The risks identified through this assessment are embedded in
a range of risks on PFI’s risk register, including economic and market risk, emerging regulation risk and physical damage risk.
Further information on PFI’s climate-related risks can be found in the Climate-Related Disclosures (TCFD) section of this annual
report (pages 36-43).
OTHER DISCLOSURES
106
PROPERTY FOR INDUSTRY LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT — 2022
Principle Seven: Auditors
The Board should ensure the quality and independence of the external audit process.
Together with the Audit and Risk Committee (see Principle Three), the Board is responsible for establishing the Company’s audit
framework and ensuring that communication is maintained with external auditors or accountants. Annexed to the Audit and Risk
Committee Charter is a separate Policy on Audit Independence, which covers the provision of services by external auditors.
Under the policy, it is the Audit and Risk Committee’s role to approve the appointment of PFI’s external auditors and assess PFI’s
internal controls and systems that support external financial reporting.
PFI’s external auditors are subject to a rotation system, which requires the external auditor or lead audit partner to change every
five years. There is also a mandatory stand down period before those partners can next be engaged by PFI. Neither will a former
Independent Contractor or employee of PFI be engaged in an external audit role within two years of ceasing to be employed by PFI.
The external auditor attends PFI’s Annual Meeting each year to answer any questions relating to the audit.
The Audit and Risk Committee must pre-approve all audit services, as well as all non-audit services provided by the auditor. The
Policy on Audit Independence sets out a number of principles to guide the committee in assessing whether the services could be
perceived as conflicting with the independent role of the auditor. To illustrate, approval will not be granted to produce financial
statements (such that they might be perceived as auditing their own work), implement financial systems, or perform any function of
management. This ensures that there is a clear separation between internal and external audit roles. The Audit and Risk Committee
monitors, and may limit, the amount of non-audit related work being undertaken by the firm holding office as auditor, if that work
may, in its opinion, impair the independence of the external auditor.
PFI does not have an internal audit function. The process it employs for evaluating and continually improving the effectiveness of
its risk management and internal processes can be found in the section entitled Principle Six: Risk Management.
Principle Eight: Shareholder Rights & Relations
The Board should respect the rights of shareholders and foster constructive relationships with shareholders that encourage
them to engage with the issuer.
PFI encourages an open dialogue with its shareholders and stakeholders. The Corporate Governance Manual, annual report,
financial information, and all NZX announcements are available on the Company’s website. PFI shareholders are encouraged
to receive shareholder communications electronically.
In respect of voting rights, PFI shareholders have one vote per share they hold in PFI, and will have the right to vote on major
decisions which may change the nature of PFI in accordance with the NZX Listing Rules.
In order for shareholders to fully participate in meetings, the Board endeavours to post the annual shareholders’ notice of meeting
on PFI’s website as soon as possible and at least 20 working days prior to the meeting. In 2022, a hybrid annual meeting was held
(providing for both virtual and in-person attendance), allowing wider participation by shareholders.
OTHER MATTERS
Directors’ Interests Register
During the year, the Board authorised the renewal of the Directors’ and Officers’ insurance cover as at 30 June 2022 for a period

Highlights
▪ Steady underlying results: Fair value losses on properties of $56.7 million or 2.6% contributing to
a loss after tax of $13.9 million, Funds From Operations (FFO)
1
earnings down 7.8% from the prior
year to 10.21 cents per share, Adjusted Funds From Operations (AFFO) earnings down 5.0% from
the prior year to 8.83 cents per share, 2022 cash dividends of 8.10 cents per share, up 2.5% on
2021 dividends
▪ Brownfield opportunities set to commence: Existing tenant secured to activate first stage of
Springs Road redevelopment, $140 million of development spend now committed across two sites,
all buildings targeting a Five Green Star rating
▪ Sustainability programme advanced: Sustainability strategy refreshed, R22 refrigerant gas
replacement project completed, third voluntary Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures
(TCFD) report filed, undertaking sustainable refurbishments
▪ Portfolio delivering strong rental growth: $62.8 million of contract rent reviewed during 2022
delivering an average annualised uplift of 4.0%, 15.0% of contract rent leased during 2022 at an
average of 11.8% above previous contract rents
▪ Resilient industrial portfolio of scale: $2.12 billion industrial property portfolio ~11% under-rented,
net tangible assets confirmed at 298.8 cents per share
▪ Proactive and conservative capital management: 3.6 million shares acquired through share
buyback programme, $100 million BNZ facility refinanced, USPP facility established, $121 million of
available bank liquidity, gearing comfortable at 28.5%
Property for Industry Limited (PFI, the Company) today announced a steady underlying result for the
year ended 31 December 2022.
“We continue to deliver stable cash returns for investors, and the team have made good use of the
drivers available to them through our clear strategy to divest sensibly, while positioning the Company to
continue to grow in the years ahead” says PFI Chief Executive Officer, Simon Woodhams.
Steady underlying results
PFI generated a loss after tax for the year of $13.9 million (loss of 2.76 cents per share), down from a
profit of $452.8 million (profit of 89.97 cents per share) in the prior year. A $56.7 million fair value loss
on the independent valuation of the Company’s property portfolio, as compared to a $392.5 million fair
value gain in the prior year, was the main contributor to this reduction. A $29.1 million impairment of the
goodwill which arose on the merger with Direct Property Fund in July 2013 was recorded at the end of
the interim period, and this also contributed to the full year loss.

At an operating level, net rental income
2
of $95.6 million was up $1.4 million or 1.4% on the prior year,
with growth on the stabilised portion of the portfolio of 2.4%. Offsetting this, interest expense and bank
fees rose by $4.5 million on the prior year, this increase being the result of an increase in the Company’s
weighted average cost of debt to 4.77% as at the end of 2022 from 3.81% as at the end of 2021,
combined with a $57 million or 10% increase in average borrowings from net acquisition and divestment
activity.
As a result, FFO earnings were down 7.8% from the prior year to 10.21 cents per share, whilst AFFO
earnings were down by 5.0% to 8.83 cents per share (prior year: 9.29 cents per share).
In line with PFI’s dividend policy to distribute between 90% to 100% of AFFO on a rolling three-year
historic average basis, the PFI Board today resolved to pay a fourth quarter final cash dividend of 2.65
cents per share. The dividend will have imputation credits of 0.46 cents per share attached and a
supplementary dividend of 0.21 cents per share will be paid to non-resident shareholders. The record
date for the dividend is 27 February 2023, and the payment date is 9 March 2023. The dividend
reinvestment scheme will not operate for this dividend.
The fourth quarter dividend will take cash dividends for the year to 8.10 cents per share, up 2.5% from
2021 dividends, resulting in an FFO dividend pay-out ratio of 79% (2021: 71%) and an AFFO dividend
pay-out ratio of 92% (2021: 85%). The dividend pay-out ratio is 91% of AFFO on rolling three-year
historic average basis (2021: 92%, refer Appendices 2 and 3 for all pay-out ratio calculations).
Brownfield opportunities set to commence
The Company has around $216 million or 10% of the portfolio held in properties where there is an
opportunity for redevelopment, and these properties are referred to as brownfield opportunities. During
the year, the PFI team made the most of market conditions to generate proceeds from the divestment
of a range of properties to be recycled into two such opportunities.
The divestments of 39 Edmundson Street in Napier, 330 Devon Street East and 20 Constance Street,
both in New Plymouth, all settled during the year, whilst the divestment of 8A & 8B Canada Crescent in
Christchurch is due to settle early-April 2023. Combined, these properties will generate gross proceeds
of $33.4 million and have been sold at an average of 8% above their most recent book values.
During 2022, PFI committed to the extensive redevelopment of the Company’s 3.9 hectare Bowden
Road site in Mount Wellington and the initial phase of the redevelopment of the Company’s 10.4 hectare
Springs Road site in East Tamaki. Across both sites, 43,700 square metres of warehousing, 2,400
square metres of offices, 7,900 square metres of canopies, 16,000 square metres of yard and 280 car
parks will be constructed over an 18-month period from April 2023.
Combined, these projects have an estimated total incremental cost of around $140 million, and once
complete, are expected to be accretive to both earnings and net tangible assets on a per share basis.
Consistent with PFI’s climate commitments, all facilities will target Five Green Star ratings.
Sustainability programme advanced
“Our decision to target Five Green Star ratings in our upcoming Bowden and Springs Road
redevelopments puts us at the leading edge of the industrial sector in New Zealand,” says Chief Finance
and Operating Officer, Craig Peirce. “There are only a handful of buildings in New Zealand currently at
this level, and it’s exciting to be embarking on these projects with sustainability firmly at their core.”

Tangible progress was made across a wide variety of areas in the Company’s sustainability programme,
including refreshing our sustainability strategy, completing the R22 refrigerant gas replacement project,
filing our third voluntary Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) report, creating a
strategy for solar installations, and undertaking sustainable refurbishments.

Portfolio delivering strong rental growth
Portfolio snapshot as at 31 December 2022 31 December 2021
Book value $2,117.2m $2,168.9m
Number of properties 94 97
Number of tenants 132 136
Contract rent $98.2m $95.6m
Occupancy 100.0% 100.0%
Weighted average lease term 5.08 years 5.40 years
Auckland property 83.2% 81.8%
The strong levels of rental growth reported for the first half of 2022 continued into the second half of the
year.
Rent reviews were completed on 102 leases during the year, resulting in an average annual uplift of
4.0% on ~$62.8 million of contract rent. CBRE forecast
3
industrial rental growth over the next five years
to average 5.5% per annum for prime properties and 3.5% per annum for secondary properties.
Around 104,000 square metres or 15% of PFI’s portfolio by rent was leased during the year to seven
new and 26 existing tenants for an average increase in term of 5.0 years. Across these leasing
transactions average leasing costs of 0.1 months per year of term were negotiated and a positive re-
leasing spread of around 12% on annual passing rents was achieved.
Combined, 81% of contract rent was reviewed, varied, or leased during 2022.
At the end of the year, the Company’s portfolio was fully occupied, and 7.8% of contract rent is due to
expire in 2023, with the largest single expiry totalling just 0.9% of contract rent. Excluding brownfield
opportunities, 2023 and 2024 expiries are 4.4% and 10.6% respectively, in line with prior periods. The
leasing market for industrial property remains strong, with vacancy still at historically low levels. CBRE
reports
3
that Auckland industrial vacancy is just 0.1% for prime properties and 0.7% for secondary
properties.
At an operational level, the project to bring facilities management in-house continued to gather
momentum during the year. “Bringing facilities management in-house will ensure PFI provides
integrated, proactive and sustainable property solutions that add value for our tenants and
shareholders,” says Simon Woodhams. During the second half of the year, the PFI team have been
updating systems and processes to provide a seamless experience for tenants, whilst working with
contractors to ensure a smooth transition.
Resilient industrial portfolio of scale
PFI recorded an annual decrease in the value of its property portfolio from independent valuations of
$56.7 million or 2.6% to $2,117.2 million. Realised rental growth was estimated to have added around

1.3% to the value of the portfolio, with the remainder of the valuation outcome due to an increase in
yields or cap rates as a result of the higher interest rate environment. As a result of portfolio and valuation
activity, PFI’s passing yield softened from 4.41% to 4.62%. An independent market rental assessment
of the entire portfolio was completed as part of the valuation process, this assessment estimates that
PFI’s portfolio is around 11% under-rented.
Net tangible assets (NTA) per share decreased by 4.6 cents per share from 303.4 cents per share as at
the end of 2021 to 298.8 cents per share as at the end of 2022, with the impact of the decrease in the
Company’s property portfolio partially offset by increases in the value of derivatives and retained
earnings.
Proactive and conservative capital management
“2022 has been an active year for capital management,” says Craig Peirce. “We’ve managed our capital
base by running a share buyback programme, extending our Bank of New Zealand loan facility, and
entering into a new USPP facility.”
With the Company’s shares trading at a 21% discount to NTA at the time, PFI announced that it would
undertake an on-market share buyback programme (the Buyback Programme) on 25 May 2022. PFI
has since acquired and subsequently cancelled 3.6 million shares at an average cost of $2.43 per share,
compared to net tangible assets per share as at 31 December 2022 of $2.99.
With $140 million of Five Green Star development spend committed across both Bowden and Springs
Road, the decision was made to pause the Buyback Programme indefinitely on 19 December 2022, as
the Company has assessed these developments as being a superior use of its capital.
PFI also refinanced its $100 million loan facility from the Bank of New Zealand during the year, extending
the facility expiry date by one year from 2 July 2023 to 2 July 2024. The weighted average term to expiry
of PFI’s bonds and bank facilities is 3.0 years and the Company has over $120 million of available bank
liquidity as at the end of the year. An as-yet-unutilised US$250 million USPP facility established with
Pricoa Capital Group, part of Prudential Financial, Inc. provides PFI with access to long-term funding,
which the Company may use to finance investment opportunities, including upcoming brownfield
opportunities.
Gearing at the end of the year stood at 28.5% (covenant: 50%) and the interest cover ratio was 3.4 times
(covenant: 2 times) for the 2022 year. Interest rate hedging provides for an average of ~61% of the
Company’s debt to be hedged at an average fixed rate of ~2.38% for 2023, offering protection from rising
interest rates.
Auckland flooding and Cyclone Gabrielle
2023 has started with several extreme weather events. “Our thoughts are with everyone who has been
affected by the recent events, including the flooding in Auckland and the widespread devastation caused
by Cyclone Gabrielle.” says Simon Woodhams. “A small number of PFI’s properties have suffered
damage, and it is our expectation that any losses will be covered by insurance.”
Closing
Looking to the year ahead, the PFI Board is guiding to 2023 cash dividends of between 8.10 and 8.30
cents per share, an increase of up to 2.5% on 2022 dividends. Higher forecast interest rates, including
uncertainty around the pace and size of changes in the Official Cash Rate, have the potential to impact
forecast earnings, and PFI’s guidance assumes an average BKBM throughout 2023 of 5.25%. This
guidance is also subject to upside risks from capturing sector rental growth and portfolio under renting,
with additional downside risk from matters that are outside the Company’s control, including tenant
failure.

PFI’s dividend policy is to distribute between 90% to 100% of AFFO on a rolling three-year historic
average basis, and cash dividends of 8.10 to 8.30 cents per share are anticipated to result in a dividend
pay-out at the bottom of this dividend policy range.
2022 has closed with the Company well placed for the coming years. With plenty of demand evident,
and a clear path for development, PFI is confident that it can maintain momentum while meeting investor
expectations. “We may not see the record results of 2021 in the short to medium term, but we are
confident of delivering resilient results,” says Simon Woodhams. “There will be challenges, but we are
intent on meeting investor and occupier demands and delivering the stable returns that our investors
look for.”
