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.
