NZX announcement – 7 July 2023


Preliminary FY23 valuation movement


Precinct Properties New Zealand Limited (Precinct) (NZX: PCT) today reported a draft

revaluation loss on its property portfolio of approximately $250 million, a decrease of 7.1%

(2022: $19 million gain). The forecast valuation movement will decrease the value of Precinct’s

portfolio to around $3.2 billion at 30 June 2023 and is expected to reduce net tangible assets

by 16 cents per share.

Draft asset valuations at 30 June 2023 were undertaken by independent valuers, are subject

to final audit, finalisation of year end book values and will be confirmed in the financial results

for the year ending 30 June 2023, expected to be announced on 23 August 2023.

On a like for like basis, asset valuations decreased by around 8.6% and 5.3% in Auckland and

Wellington respectively, compared with 30 June 2023 forecast book values. The decrease

across the property portfolio was mainly attributable to an expansion in capitalisation rates.

Scott Pritchard, Precinct’s Chief Executive, said, “We have continued to see the rising interest

rate environment place increasing pressure on investment returns and impact property

valuations across all real estate sectors. For Precinct, this has resulted in a forecast $250 million

reduction in Precinct’s property assets for the full year.”

“While property valuations are being impacted by expanding capitalisation rates, we

continue to observe significant demand for Precinct’s assets and our view is that premium-

grade real estate will continue to outperform. Precinct’s portfolio is benefiting from strong

market rental growth being achieved across our leasing transactions which has partially offset

the impact of the capitalisation rate expansion on our asset valuations.”

The weighted average capitalisation rate of Precinct’s portfolio is forecast to be 5.6%,

compared to 4.9% at 30 June 2022.
