Precinct Properties New Zealand Limited (Precinct) (NZX: PCT) reported its financial results for the
six months ended 31 December 2022 today. Strong leasing momentum and market rental growth
has underpinned an increase in net property income (NPI) of 9.0% for the 6 months to 31
December 2022 or $66.6 million (December 2021: $61.1 million). This has contributed to net
operating income before tax of $51.3 million, up 12.7% on the previous comparable period (1H22:
$45.5 million).
Total comprehensive income after tax of $0.6 million compares to $40.7 million for the same
period last year, with the difference mainly attributable to the fair value movement across the
value of Precinct’s p roperties of $53.6 million recorded in the current period.
An internal review of the 30 June 2022 property valuations undertaken at 31 December 2022
indicated no material value movement in the period for all assets apart from Commercial Bay

Retail in Auckland and Defence House in Wellington. Accordingly, an independent valuation as
at 31 December 2022 was completed for both these assets.
The sales completed and contracted for in the period have further strengthened Precinct’s
balance sheet. Precinct’s pro forma gearing, including contracted sales, is around 30%, well
under its bank covenant of 50%.
Scott Pritchard, Precinct’s CEO, said “The occupier market for prime space continues to perform
extremely well with continued demand and strong market rental growth. We are seeing this first
hand in the significant demand for our assets and in the rental levels achieved”.
“Precinct has focused on the execution of its strategy, and we have completed a number of key
transactions in the first half of the 2023 financial year. Establishing a new investment partnership
with PAG and advancing further growth in our real estate investment partnership with Singapore
sovereign wealth fund GIC demonstrates the demand for joint investment into our high-quality
assets and large-scale development projects. These transactions have extended our real estate
offering and is supporting Precinct to achieve its growth aspiration to create long-term
sustainable value”.
“Precinct’s recent entry into the multi-unit residential development market in partnership with
Lamont & Co. further supports our core strategy focused on mixed-use precincts. It complements
the overall strategic direction of our business and represents a natural extension for Precinct”.
“During the last six months, we have also continued to work on the Downtown Car Park site
opportunity in Auckland. We are very excited about this project and very proud to have been
selected as the preferred development partner for this key strategic site. Precinct and Eke Panuku
remain in a period of commercial negotiations with the intent to agree and document final terms
in the coming months”.
Operational performance
Precinct’s operating performance has continued to deliver strong results for our business with
overall portfolio occupancy of 98% and a WALT of 6.2 years recorded at 31 December 2022.
Strong leasing and rental growth has continued to drive a significant uplift in our revenue during
the period. A total of more than 8,100 square metres of leasing transactions was recorded across
our investment portfolio with a further 35 ,000 square metres of pre-leasing completed within the
development portfolio. This leasing performance recorded in the first half of the financial year

W www.precinct.co.nz PO Box 5140, Auckland 1141, New Zealand PO Box 2, Wellington 6140, New Zealand
demonstrates the strong demand from businesses wanting to occupy Precinct’s quality office
space offering.
New leases were secured 16.9% above previous contract rents. Structured rent reviews were
completed across 59,000 square metres in the first half of FY23, resulting in an average annual
uplift of 3.5%. Market reviews were secured 9.6% above previous contract rentals.
Despite the valuation movement in the period, Commercial Bay Retail had a solid level of sales
performance over the last 6 months, recording its strongest sale period since opening. Pedestrian
flows recorded at the centre are now well above average levels.
Pleasingly, the Generator operating business delivered a record first half result for FY23 with
occupancy across the portfolio averaging 78% during the period. Higher occupancy levels and
a continued recovery of the events business has led to Generators best 6 months performance
since Precinct took ownership. During the period the Generator business has remained active
launching a new events space ‘The Annex’ in Wynyard Quarter and recently opened a new site
at 40 Bowen Street in Wellington.
Development update
The development of the new 24,000 square metre project at 61 Molesworth Street is now
underway. Leasing all of the prime commercial office space at 61 Molesworth Street to the New
Zealand Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade (MFAT) on a long term lease reinforces the strong
demand for high quality office buildings in strategic locations like the Government precinct in
Wellington.
With works on 124 Halsey Street having just passed the first anniversary of the site start, the pre-
leasing to Beca during the period on a 12-year lease term over 14,000 square metres required
Precinct to commit to 117 Pakenham Street to provide enough space to meet the engineering
firm’s needs. The addition of 117 Pakenham which comprises 7 floors of commercial office space
increases the lettable area of the project by 8,600 square metres to 21,100 square metres.
Designed in accordance with the Wynyard Quarter Sustainability Standards, the buildings are
targeting a 6-star Green Star and 5-star NABERSNZ.
All three buildings, namely 124 Halsey Street, 117 Pakenham Street and the Flowers Building make
up Wynyard Quarter Stage 3 and is due to complete in 2025. Construction has been progressing
to programme with the basement excavation now complete and structural steel being erected.

Deloitte Centre at 1 Queen Street is now in advanced stages of construction with the façade
installation to the hotel levels completing at the end of last year. Following the high-rise office
floors being fully leased, we have also progressed leasing across the F&B tenancies with initial
terms agreed over the basement and rooftop bar and level 1 restaurant. The project is on
schedule to complete in late 2023.
In Wellington, following the completion of 40 Bowen Street at Bowen Campus in the period, 44
Bowen Street remains on schedule to open in mid-2023 resulting in the completion of the Bowen
Campus project.
Board change
Anne Urlwin is to replace Craig Stobo, who will retire at the conclusion of his current term in
November 2023, as Chair of the Precinct Board. Ensuring a seamless transition and handover, the
People and Performance Committee have considered Anne to be the best replacement for the
Chair of Precinct.
Graeme Wong, Precinct’s Chair of the People and Performance Committee, said “We strongly
believe Anne has the right skills and experience to take over from Craig. Since her appointment
to the Precinct Board in 2019, Anne has been Chair of the Audit and Risk Committee and has
made a significant contribution to Precinct’s governance regime”.
“On behalf of my Board colleagues and Management, I would also like to thank Craig for the
significant contribution he has made to Precinct during the time he has served on the Precinct
Board. He has been an integral part of Precinct’s evolution having led the then unit trust business
through its corporatisation in 2010, internalisation of the management of Precinct in 2021,
introduction of third party capital and advancement of our overall business strategy.”
Dividend payment
Precinct shareholders will receive a second-quarter dividend of 1.675 cps. Due to Precinct’s
current tax position for the period, there are no imputation credits to attach for the quarter and
therefore no supplementary dividend to be paid (see note 2). The record date is 10 March 2023
with payment to be made on 24 March 2023 .

Outlook and guidance
Precinct has successfully advanced a number of transactions over the last six months reinforcing
the quality of our business and the belief in New Zealand’s main office markets. These transactions
have placed Precinct in a strong position to take the business forward.
As we continue to work with our partners and consider future opportunities, the active
management of Precinct’s high-quality portfolio is supporting both the evolution and execution
of our strategy. Given Precinct’s strategic direction, future participation in a wider set of
opportunities and growth in our capital partnerships, we continue to actively consider the option
of moving to a stapled structure. As previously noted last year, a stapled structure will ensure the
most robust company structure to allow flexibility for Precinct to continue to execute its strategy
whilst retaining Portfolio Investment Entity (PIE) status.
Precinct remains confident and focused on driving higher returns from our capital and adding
value despite the challenging economic environment and expectations of a slowing economy
ahead.
Consistent with earlier guidance provided, the Board expects no change to Precinct’s full year
FY23 dividend of no less than 6.70 cents per s hare to be paid in total cash dividends to
shareholders.

Note 1
AFFO is a non-GAAP financial measure that shows the organisation's underlying and recurring earnings from its
operations and is considered industry best practice for a REIT. This is determined by adjusting statutory net profit (under
IFRS) for certain non-cash and other items. AFFO has been determined based on guidelines established by the Property
Council of Australia and is intended as a supplementary measure of operating performance.
Reconciliation of net profit after tax to adjusted funds from operations (AFFO)
This additional performance measure is provided to assist shareholders in assessing their returns for the period.
Note 2
A supplementary dividend is paid to non-resident shareholders to offset the amount of non-resident withholding tax
(“NRWT”) that New Zealand companies are required to deduct from dividends paid to non-resident shareholders. A
supplementary dividend is paid to ensure equitable treatment between non-resident shareholders and resident
shareholders (whose dividends are not subject to NRWT).
Note 3
All portfolio metrics are as at 31 December 2022 and include Precinct’s ownership in assets of joint investment
partnerships which have settled, unless otherwise stated.

Key themes
Occupier trends
•Clear preference for quality office space in good
locations as occupiers continue to focus on attracting
and retaining staff
•Physical occupancy returned to normalised levels
with WFH diminishing
Construction costs
•Disruptive market conditions in recent years have led
to changing contractor behaviours being observed
across the market
•Construction sector is under-resourced with high level
of staff turnover observed, resulting in loss of project-
specific knowledge and lower quality of work
•Required rebuild from recent weather events will
place further pressure on construction market
Interest rates
•Elevated interest rate environment putting pressure
on balance sheet (valuations) and earnings outlooks
•Extent of impact dependent on capital management
approach and hedging levels
•Prime quality stock expected to outperform as market
rental growth will mitigate some cap rate expansion
Capital partnerships
•Evident there is significant ongoing interest from
capital partners to invest in New Zealand
•Appetite primarily focused on either prime grade
stock or value add opportunities

Interim revaluations
•Consistent with policy, an internal review was
undertaken at half year which indicated
portfolio cap rate expansion of ~27 bps in the
half year period (Jun-22: 10 bps)
•The internal review identified external
valuations were required for Defence House
and Commercial Bay Retail due to potential
fair value movements of greater than 5%
•Revaluation loss of $53.6m for those two assets
attributable to cap rate expansion and OPEX
headwinds impacting NPI
•Value movements for the balance of the
portfolio were largely mitigated by strong
market rental growth which partially offset the
indicative cap rate expansion
•Value gap continues to widen between quality
and location

Prime retail
•Reopening of international borders and resumption of cruise ships have
created a long awaited recovery in retailer activity
•Notwithstanding, consumer spending is under pressure due to high
inflation and interest rates impacting household disposable income
Prime office (Wellington)
•Low vacancy levels sustained by limited pipeline of new supply and
ongoing flight to quality by both Government and corporates
•Upward pressure on market rentals for well-located, prime assets
underpinned by strong demand and high economic rentals
•OPEX headwinds remain, with inflation and recent weather events
expected to drive increases, resulting in net rentals rising at a slower rate
Prime office (Auckland)
•Continued demand for prime space despite recent economic
headwinds, supporting low vacancy and strong rental growth
•Vacancies remain unevenly spread across building grades and location,
albeit the quality gap continues to widen
•Potential for some secondary and fringe Grade A assets to be converted
to alternative uses due to inability to lease up

forecast to remain below long-term averages
due to a limited supply pipeline
•According to Colliers research, prime market
rentals grew 2.0% in the half year period,

Notes to the financial statements
For the six months ended 31 December 2022
PRECINCT PROPERTIES NEW ZEALAND LIMITED
1. Reporting entity
Precinct Properties New Zealand Limited (Precinct) is incorporated in New Zealand and is registered under the New Zealand
Companies Act 1993.
Precinct is an FMC reporting entity for the purposes of the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013.
These interim financial statements are those of Precinct and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (the Group) and its equity-accounted
investments. Precinct's investment in Precinct Pacific Investment Limited Partnership (PPILP) is accounted for using the equity method.
The Group's principal activity is investment in predominantly prime CBD properties in New Zealand.
2. Basis of preparation
The interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with NZ IAS 34 and IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting.
The financial statements have been prepared:
• On a historical basis except for financial instruments, US private placement notes, investment and development properties, and
properties held for sale, which are measured at fair value.
• Using the New Zealand Dollar functional and reporting currency.
• On a GST exclusive basis, except for receivables and payables that are stated inclusive of GST.
All financial information has been presented in millions, unless otherwise stated.
Precinct has elected to include additional comparative periods to assist users of the financial statements.
These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes included in Precinct's
Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2022.
3. Fair value estimation
Precinct classifies its fair value measurement using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the
measurements. The fair value hierarchy has the following levels:
• Level 1 - Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active market for identical assets or liabilities.
• Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (by price)
or indirectly (derived from prices).
• Level 3 - Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
4. New standards, amendments and interpretations
There have been no new accounting standards that are applicable to these financial statements.
The Financial Sector (Climate-related Disclosures and Other Matters) Amendment Act 2021 (FSCD) has established a climate-related
disclosure framework for New Zealand and makes climate-related disclosures mandatory for climate reporting entities. Precinct
qualifies as a climate reporting entity under this framework.
The FSCD provided the mandate for the External Reporting Board (XRB) to issue a climate-related disclosure framework. On
31 December 2022 the XRB issued climate standards and guidance documents. Precinct will be required to make climate-related
disclosures in the annual report for the accounting period commencing 1 July 2023.
5. Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions
In preparing Precinct’s interim financial statements, management continually make judgements, estimates and assumptions based on
experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that may have an impact on Precinct.
All judgements, estimates and assumptions made are believed to be reasonable based on the most current set of circumstances
available to management. Actual results may differ from the judgements, estimates and assumptions made by management.
The significant judgements, estimates and assumptions made in the preparation of these interim financial statements are in relation to:
i. Investment and development properties
ii. Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities
iii. Cross currency interest rate swaps and USPP notes
iv. Impairment test of intangible assets and goodwill
v. Share-based payment scheme
The same accounting policies and methods of computation are followed in the interim financial statements as compared with the
most recent annual financial statements.

PRECINCT PROPERTIES NEW ZEALAND LIMITED
b) Information about reportable segments
Information related to each reportable segment is set out below. Segment profit/(loss) before tax is used to measure performance
because management believes that this information is the most relevant in evaluating the results of the respective segments relative to
other entities that operate in the same industries.
There are varying levels of integration between the investment properties and co-working segments. This integration includes occupied
space, future leasing and events. Inter segment pricing is determined on an arm's length basis.

12. Reconciliation of net profit after tax to adjusted funds from operations (AFFO)
AFFO is a non-GAAP financial measure that shows the organisation's underlying and recurring earnings from its operations and is
considered industry best practice for a real estate investment entity. This is determined by adjusting net profit determined under IFRS for
certain non-cash and other items. AFFO has been determined based on guidelines established by the Property Council of Australia
and is intended as a supplementary measure of operating performance.

2 Interest rates on bank loans are at the 90-day benchmark borrowing rate (BKBM) plus a margin. Precinct also pays facility fees.
Precinct has committed funding of $1,485.7 million (June 2022: $1,622.7 million) including the NZ senior secured bonds and US private
placements.
All lenders have the benefit of security over certain assets of the Group. The Group has given a negative pledge which provides that it
will not permit any security interest in favour of a party other than the lenders to exist over more than 15% of the value of its properties.
To substantially remove currency risk, US private placement future cash flows have been fully swapped back to New Zealand dollars.
Accounting policy - interest bearing liabilities
Bank loans and the NZ senior secured bonds are recognised initially at fair value less any attributable transaction costs. Subsequent
to initial recognition, these liabilities are stated at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The US private placement is
recognised at fair value including translation to NZD with any gains or losses recognised in the profit or loss as they arise. This fair
value is determined using swap models and present value techniques with observable inputs such as interest rate and cross-
currency curves. This measurement falls into level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
The convertible note embedded financial derivative is recognised at fair value with any gains or losses recognised in the profit or
loss as they arise. This fair value is determined using the black-scholes model with observable inputs such as Precinct's share price
and it's historic standard deviation, the convertible note strike price and the risk free rate. The movement in fair value attributable to
changes in Precinct's own credit risk is calculated by determining the changes in credit spreads above observable market interest
rates and is recognised in other comprehensive income. This measurement falls into level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are capitalised as part of the
cost of that asset.

Accounting policy - derivative financial instruments
Precinct uses derivative financial instruments (interest rate and cross currency swaps) to manage its exposure to interest rate and
foreign exchange risks arising from operational, financing and investment activities. Derivative financial instruments are recognised
initially at fair value and subsequently re-measured and carried at fair value. They are carried as assets when the fair value is
positive and liabilities when the fair value is negative. The gain or loss on re-measurement to fair value is recognised directly in profit
or loss.
The fair value is the estimated amount that Precinct would receive or pay to terminate the swap at the balance date, taking into
account current rates and creditworthiness of the swap counterparties. This is determined using swap models and present value
techniques with observable inputs such as interest rate and cross-currency curves. The fair value of derivatives fall into level 2 of the
fair value hierarchy.
18. Capital commitments
Precinct has $250.6 million of capital commitments as at 31 December 2022 (June 2022: $298.0 million; December 2021: $343.1 million)

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REVIEW REPORT TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF PRECINCT
PROPERTIES NEW ZEALAND LIMITED
Conclusion
We have reviewed the interim financial statements of Precinct Properties New Zealand Limited ("the Company") and its subsidiaries
(together "the Group") which comprise the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2022 and the consolidated
statement of comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for the
period ended on that date, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information. Based on our review,
nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying interim financial statements of the Group do not
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Group as at 31 December 2022, and its financial performance and its
cash flows for the period ended on that date, in accordance with New Zealand Equivalent to International Accounting Standard 34:
Interim Financial Reporting
.
This report is made solely to the Company's shareholders, as a body. Our review has been undertaken so that we might state to the
Company's shareholders those matters we are required to state to them in a review report and for no other purpose. To the fullest
extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Company and the Company's
shareholders as a body, for our review procedures, for this report, or for the conclusion we have formed.
Basis for Conclusion
We conducted our review in accordance with NZ SRE 2410 (Revised)
Review of Financial Statements Performed by the Independent
Auditor of the Entity
. Our responsibilities are further described in the
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Review of the Financial Statements
section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements in New Zealand relating
to the audit of the annual financial statements, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these ethical
requirements.
Ernst & Young provides other assurance services to the Group. Ernst & Young leases office space from the Group. Partners and
employees of our firm may deal with the Group on normal terms within the ordinary course of trading activities of the business of the
Group. We have no other relationship with, or interest in, the Group.
Directors' Responsibilities for the Interim Financial Statements
The Directors of the Company are responsible, on behalf of the Company, for the preparation and fair presentation of the interim
financial statements in accordance with New Zealand Equivalent to International Accounting Standard 34:
Interim Financial Reporting
and for such internal control as the Directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation and fair presentation of the interim
financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Review of the Interim Financial Statements
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the interim financial statements based on our review. NZ SRE 2410 (Revised) requires us to
conclude whether anything has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim financial statements, taken as a
whole, are not prepared in all material respects, in accordance with New Zealand Equivalent to International Accounting Standard 34:
Interim Financial Reporting
.
A review of interim financial statements in accordance with NZ SRE 2410 (Revised) is a limited assurance engagement. We perform
procedures, consisting of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying
analytical and other review procedures. The procedures performed in a review are substantially less than those performed in an audit
conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (New Zealand) and consequently do not enable us to obtain
assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express
an audit opinion on those interim financial statements.
The engagement partner on the review resulting in this independent auditor’s review report is Susan Jones.
