Significant Discount to NAV

Increasing AFFO/Share Guidance

A share price of $0.85 (24 August 2023), representing

a -44.6% discount to NAV, offers a compelling entry

point for a quality, defensive asset, with a strong rental

income growth outlook.

Strong uplift in AFFO guidance driven by forestry

acquisition. FY23 AFFO per share post forestry

acquisition is forecast to be 4.2 - 4.6 cps, FY24

AFFO per share is forecast to be 5.7 - 6.0 cps. This

represents an AFFO mid point CAGR of +31.4% from

FY22 - FY24.

Share Buy-Back Ongoing

NZL’s share Buy-back continues. The Board considers

NZL to still be materially undervalued, and thus

continues to purchase shares on market. To date NZL

has repurchased 306,327 shares and intends to make

further repurchases at current levels as cashflow

permits.

INTRODUCTION

Enduring Land For Life

Green Loan

NZL has recently published its programme it utilises

to ensure our land and partnerships are enduring.

Titled “Enduring Land for Life” (working title) this

programme focuses on five vital & interconnected

areas: environmental, economic, social, animal welfare

and mana whenua. A sixth area, governance, ensures

oversight and measurement of performance. It can

be found on our website at https://www.nzrlc.co.nz/

sustainability which also includes specific detail related

to individual projects and initiatives. This will be updated

on an ongoing basis.

Commitments between NZL and tenants are developed

and refined jointly, incorporating industry best practice,

latest scientific research and learnings from leading

tenants. Joint commitments to preserve the land are

made binding by our leases and NZL incorporates

regular audits to monitor this.

As part of its recent forestry acquisitions NZL established

a green loan programme. The green loan follows

the Asia Pacific Loan Market Association Green Loan

Principles. Working within these principles enables NZL

to align itself with UN Sustainable Development Goal 15

which aims to protect, restore and promote sustainable

use of terrestrial ecosystems, sustainably manage

forests, combat desertification, and halt and reverse

land degradation and halt biodiversity loss. A portion of

proceeds from the loan have be earmarked for native

plantings, and the promotion of biodiversity on several

of our farms.

* 21 December 2020

**Unaudited NAV/sh for the 6 months to 30 June 2023.

Diversification

NZL’s recent forestry acquisition added meaningful sector,

income and tenant diversification to NZL’s portfolio.

As a proportion of value, forestry land now represents

~30% of NZL’s lease income. NZL’s forestry leases will

also roll more frequently than its pastoral leases, with

annual uncapped CPI adjustments. NZL also benefits

from an increase in WALT (11.6 years from 9 years) and

an increase in its tenant base to eight large tenants from

a previous seven.

Planting & Other Initiatives

NZL continues mapping its current portfolio for marginal

land which can be enhanced with replanting. Two

properties are earmarked for planting in FY23.

NZL has initiated work on several special projects

across its portfolio. These include a solar pump upgrade

(from diesel), improved effluent systems on some of our

farms, native regeneration and predator control at NZL’s

forestry estate in partnership with our tenant.

INTRODUCTION

Summary of FY2023 1HY

On 14 April 2023, NZL announced the settlement of a forestry

estate acquisition which comprises five individual properties with

a total area of approximately 2,400 hectares. The total acquisition

cost was ~$63m. The estate is leased to New Zealand Forest

Leasing (NZFL) for a 20 year period with the first year’s lease

payment being ~$5m.

NZL funded the purchase with $25.2m of borrowings from

Rabobank. These borrowings were in the form of a green loan

established within a green financing framework managed and

reported on in line with Asia Pacific Loan Market Association’s

Green Loan Principles.

The equity component of the purchase was funded from the

proceeds of NZL’s pro-rata rights issue and a $12m convertible note

issued to an entity associated with NZFL. The note is unsecured

and pays an 8% p.a. coupon. NZL can redeem any part of the note

at any time without penalty.

On 28 April 2023, NZL announced the settlement of a

supplementary forestry acquisition for a purchase cost of

approximately $8m. NZL acquired 100% of the forest which has a

total area of 737ha. The forest is leased to NZFL for a period of 16

years. The purchase was funded through a combination of debt

from capacity in the previously established green loan facility and

equity remaining from the pro-rata rights issue.

1

INTRODUCTION

On 26 May 2023 NZL announced an upgrade of FY24 earnings

guidance, suspension of the FY23 interim dividend and an on-

market share buyback.

NZL announced an upgrade to its forecast FY24 AFFO on 26

May 2023. This was due to the accretive nature of NZL’s forestry

acquisitions, FY24 is the the first full financial year in which the

forests will be owned by NZL. NZL’s FY24 AFFO forecast is

unchanged at $8.0m - $8.5m.*

The NZL Board considers that the current market price of NZL

shares materially undervalues both the assets and the free

cashflow profile of the business making shares purchased at this

level attractive and accretive on an asset and free cashflow basis

for shareholders.

In the Directors’ opinion, buying back shares was more attractive

for shareholders than paying dividends and the Board resolved to

suspend NZL’s dividend policy for the current six-month period.

NZL will use available cash flow to:

• acquire NZL shares through an on-market share buyback

programme; and

• initiate its buyback program, repurchasing a small amount of

shares and remains in the market for further purchases; and

• repay the convertible note recently issued to acquire the

forestry assets.

Updates from the Timber, Carbon & Dairy Markets

In April 2023, NZL acquired a 2,400ha forestry estate in Manawatu-Whanganui and, in the same month added a further 737 ha in the same region. Both

estates are leased long term to New Zealand Forest Leasing (NZFL).

The Carbon market / Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) market has seen significant volatility with the current carbon/NZU price at approximately $65*. The

volatility was largely attributed to increased uncertainty. The government’s decision in December 2022 to decline the Climate Change Commission’s (CCC)

price control recommendations for 2023-2027 played a crucial role in driving down prices from nearly $90 to below $35. The CCC’s advice was rejected due to

concerns carbon price increases would exacerbate inflation. It is worth reiterating that NZL is sheltered from price swings in NZU’s as NZL only owns the

land, not the derived carbon or timber revenues, and has an experienced, well capitalised tenant in NZFL.

Recently, the price of NZU’s have increased to ~$65 after the climate change minister James Shaw offered some market certainty and announced the

government would adopt the Climate Change Commissions advice.

Due to an ongoing review of the Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) there is further short-term market uncertainty. The consultation has been triggered by

concern around the possibility that the current settings of the ETS do not provide adequate incentives for businesses to reduce their emissions directly,

instead promoting reliance on carbon offsets through forest planting (consultation closed 11 August 2023). The government is inviting submissions on four

potential amendments to the current frame work. We believe our properties in the forestry sector are supported by long term tailwinds in the carbon price

and timber sectors alongside a well established market participant in NZFL.

Fonterra’s FY23 mid point milk price is currently $6.75 kg/ms, which is lower than some farmer’s cost of production. NZL and NZRLM are offering support

to tenants with access to advice and operational support experts. All leases continue to be current and we continue to monitor and offer assistance where

useful.

OPERATIONAL UPDATE

NZL continues to work on mapping its current portfolio for marginal land which can be enhanced with planting and a programme to increase biodiversity.

The mitigation of erosion is a key outcome of this planting with potential for carbon sequestration and sediment control. Two properties marginal areas are

planned to start planting in FY23.

NZL has initiated work on several special projects across its portfolio. These include a solar pump upgrade (from diesel), improved effluent systems on

some farm, planned/budgeted during purchase, and native regeneration and predator control at NZL’s forestry estate in partnership with our tenant New

Zealand Forestry Leasing.

NEW ZEALAND RURAL LAND COMPANY

Outlook

NZL’s leases incorporate regular, uncapped, CPI reviews. Accordingly, high inflation will result in rental growth. Furthermore, NZL is insulated from inflation-

impacted (and all other operational) on-farm costs by owning only the land.

As announced to the market on 26 May 2023, post the forestry acquisition in April 2023, NZL’s AFFO for FY23 (1 January 2023 to 31 December 2023) is

forecast to be between $6.0m and $6.5m with FY24 AFFO forecast to be between $8.0m and $8.5m

**

. These forecasts remain unchanged.

FY23 AFFO per share post forestry acquisition is forecast to be between 4.2 cps and 4.6 cps while FY24 AFFO per share is forecast to be between 5.7 cps

and 6.0 cps.

From 1 July 2024, NZL will start to see the positive impact of inflation with approximately 55% of the portfolio (by lease income) due for CPI rental review.

CPI accumulated since the leases began (1 June 2021) totals +12.6% to 31 December 2022 and is forecast to be approximately +22.3% for the three years

to 30 June 2024.

NZL has hedging arrangements in place for 53% of its total borrowings costing, on average, 5.33%*. The remaining debt is floating and the cost of the

floating debt component is 7.63%. NZL’s weighted average cost of debt is 6.42%.

NZL’s investment properties are valued annually. The most recent valuation was in December 2022 and the next valuation occurs in December 2023. The

rural land market in the last 6 months remains resilient considering market conditions. The REINZ All Farm Price Index has declined a largely immaterial

-2.39% in the 6 month period from December 2022.

demand, and yield-

boosting innovation

Increasing scarcity of

productive land globally is

mirrored in New Zealand.

New Zealand is one of the

world’s lowest-cost and

lowest-carbon emitting

producers of protein, fibre

and timber in the world.

Successfully acquired

more than 14,800 hectares

of pastoral farm land and

forestry since listing on 21

December 2020.

NAV per share increased

from $1.250 (21 December

2020) to $1.533 as at 30

June 2023. This represents

total increase in NAV of

+22.7% .

NAV growth has been

achieved alongside an

expansion to capital base

from 60.6m shares on

issue at IPO to ~139.9m

shares on issue as at 30

June 2023

NAV has grown by +22.7%

since NZL’s IPO. NZL has

paid/declared a total of

5.64 cps in dividends since

listing with the most recently

declared dividend (2.03 cps)

+26.9% higher than that paid

for the six months ended 30

June 2022 (1.60 cps).

Farmland does not

typically experience the

same volatility that mark

economic changes. It usually

experiences peaks and

plateaus – appreciating

at an attractive rate when

times are positive but not

necessarily retreating when

conditions are tough, this

is driven by its increasing

scarcity.

All tenants have significant

operating experience,

robust balance sheets and

governance frameworks.

11.5 year WALT (by value).

NZL provides unique

investment exposure as it

is currently the only pure-

play listed exposure to

New Zealand rural land.

NZL provides inflation

hedging and stable income

via CPI-linked leases

(uncapped).

NZL’s strategy is to

continue to grow its

portfolio, both in dairy

and other attractive

agricultural opportunities,

to ultimately provide scale

and diversified exposure to

high quality New Zealand

rural land.
