Argosy Property LimitedInterim Financial Statements 30 September 20237

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. General information

Argosy Property Limited (APL or the Company) is an FMC Reporting Entity under the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013 and the

Financial Reporting Act 2013. APL is incorporated under the Companies Act 1993 and domiciled in New Zealand.

The Company's principal activity is investment in properties which include Industrial, Office and Large Format Retail properties,

predominantly in Auckland and Wellington.

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements (interim financial statements) are presented in New Zealand dollars

which is the Company's functional currency and have been rounded to the nearest thousand dollars ($000) and include those of APL

and its subsidiaries (the Group).

These interim financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on 28 November 2023.

2. Basis of preparation

Statement of compliance

These interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Practice in New Zealand

(NZ GAAP) and comply with NZ IAS 34 and IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting as applicable to the Company as a profit-oriented

entity. These interim financial statements do not include all of the information required for full annual financial statements.

The interim financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for derivative financial instruments and

investment properties which are measured at fair value.

Use of estimates and judgement

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with NZ GAAP requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates that

affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. The area involving a higher

degree of complexity, and where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements is note 4 - valuation of

investment property.

Change in accounting policies

Accounting policies and methods of computation have been applied consistently to all periods and by all Group entities.

New accounting standards adopted

At the date of authorisation of these financial statements, the Group has not applied any new or revised NZ IFRS standards and

amendments that have been issued but are not yet effective.

Argosy Property LimitedInterim Financial Statements 30 September 20238

3. Segment information
The principal business activity of the Group is to invest in, and actively manage, properties in New Zealand. NZ IFRS 8 Operating

Segments requires operating segments to be identified on the basis of internal reports about components of the Group that

are regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker, being the Chief Executive Officer, in order to allocate resources to

segments and assess their performance.

The information reported to the Group’s Chief Executive Officer includes investment property information aggregated into three

business sectors, Industrial, Office and Large Format Retail, based on what the occupants actual or intended use is. Segment profit

represents profit earned by each segment including allocation of identifiable revaluation gains/(losses) on investment properties

and gains/(losses) on disposal of investment properties.

The following is an analysis of the Group’s results by reportable segments.

Investment properties are classified as level 3 (inputs are unobservable for the asset or liability) under the fair value hierarchy on the

basis that adjustments must be made to observable data of similar properties to determine the fair value of an individual property.

The Group holds the freehold to all investment properties other than 39 Market Place, Viaduct Harbour, Auckland.

Valuation of investment properties

In accordance with the valuation policy of the Group, property valuations are carried out at least annually by independent registered

valuers. Given the current challenging investment market and the high interest rate environment, the Board and Management

engaged Colliers International New Zealand Limited (Colliers) to review key valuation metrics in order to undertake a high-level

desktop review of the property portfolio as at

30 September 2023.

Colliers did not re-inspect the properties and did not undertake a full market valuation as at 30 September 2023. They undertook

relevant investigations, including considering any tenant changes, assessing market rentals and reviewing capitalisation rates in

order to determine the desktop value of Argosy’s properties.

Whilst the valuations were provided for Argosy internal purposes, they have been reviewed and assessed by Management and

subsequently adopted by the Board. Overall, there was a revaluation loss of $50.8 million (2022: $23.5 million) which has been

recognised as a revaluation loss on investment property as at 30 September 2023.

Following the adoption of NZ IFRS 16 on 1 April 2019, the right-of-use asset and investment were recognised on the ground lease that

exists over 39 Market Place, Viaduct Harbour, Auckland.

Interest rate swaps are measured at present value of future cash flows estimated and discounted based on applicable yield curves

derived from observable market interest rates. Accepted market best practice valuation methodology using mid-market interest

rates at the period end date is used, provided from sources perceived to be reliable and accurate. Interest rate swaps have been

classified into Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy on the basis that the valuation techniques used to determine the values at period end

date use observable inputs.

The net liability for derivative financial instruments as at 30 September 2023 is $19.1 million (31 March 2023: $21.3 million). The

mark-to-market decrease in the liability for derivative financial instruments is a result of movements in the interest rate curve during

the interim period.

Independent Auditor’s Review Report


To the Shareholders of Argosy Property Limited


Conclusion


We have reviewed the condensed consolidated interim financial statements (‘interim financial statements’) of Argosy

Property Limited and its subsidiaries (‘the Group’) which comprise the condensed consolidated interim statement of

financial position as at 30 September 2023, and the condensed consolidated interim statement of comprehensive

income, condensed consolidated interim statement of changes in equity and condensed consolidated interim statement

of cash flows for the period ended on that date, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory

information on pages 4 to 16.


Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim financial statements

of the Group do not present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Group as at 30 September 2023

and its financial performance and cash flows for the period ended on that date in accordance with NZ IAS 34 Interim

Financial Reporting and IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting.


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 (‘NZ SRE 2410 (Revised)’). Our responsibilities are further described in the Auditor’s

Responsibilities for the Review of the Interim 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

requirements.


Other than in our capacity as auditor and for the attendance and scrutineering at the Annual Meeting, we have no

relationship with or interests in Argosy Property Limited or its subsidiaries. These services have not impaired our

independence as auditor of the Group.


Directors’ responsibilities for the interim financial statements


The directors are responsible on behalf of the Company for the preparation and fair presentation of the interim

financial statements in accordance with NZ IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and IAS 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 NZ IAS 34 Interim

Financial Reporting and IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting.


A review of the interim financial statements in accordance with NZ SRE 2410 (Revised) is a limited assurance

engagement. We perform procedures, primarily 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

Argosy Property LimitedInterim Financial Statements 30 September 202317


Auditing (New Zealand) and consequently do not enable us to obtain assurance that we might identify in an audit.

Accordingly we do not express an audit opinion on the interim financial statements.


Restriction on use


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’s shareholders as a body, for our engagement, for this report, or for the conclusions we have formed.

COHESIVE APPROACH ACROSS THE BUSINESS

To reduce our impact on the environment, create vibrant spaces for tenants, engage more with stakeholders and

provide transparent and effective governance...

•Targeting >50% of the portfolio to be green by 2031

•Targeting carbon emission reductions of 30% by 2031

•XRB climate disclosure ready for FY24

•Health & safety focus (zero harm)

•Ongoing investment into communities

•Committed to high standards of corporate behaviour

•An important responsibility is to identify and assess the risks presented by

climate change, just as we manage other risks facing our business.

•Third party verification to validate building performance through a mixture

of energy ratings (NABERSNZ) and internationally recognised systems

(Green Star) for sustainable design, operational excellence, construction

and community impact.

•ESG ratings provide stakeholders with a standardised way to evaluate

our sustainability practices and ethical conduct against a global pool of

companies. We are currently AA rated by MSCI.

Financial Performance

SOLID TOP LINE GROWTH

•The net property income increase for the

period was principally driven by solid like-for-

like rental growth and development income

from completed projects such as Willis Street

•Net interest expense was higher driven by

higher volume of debt, higher floating interest

rates and lower capitalised interest as projects

completed

•The prior comparable period benefitted from

the receipt of a $3.0m settlement for the failed

sale of the Albany Lifestyle Centre

FY24 Interim Result – Strong foundations

Argosy will present the FY24 interim result via a teleconference and webcast at 10am today. Please

visit https://event.choruscall.com/mediaframe/webcast.html?webcastid=wyWeRpxL dial 0800 453 055

and quote the conference ID#10034663. It is recommended that you dial in or log in a few minutes

before the start time. A copy of the webcast will be available on Argosy’s website later in the day.

Argosy Property Limited (‘Argosy’ or the ‘Company’) has reported its results for the 6 months to 30

September 2023.

Key results for the period include:

• Net property income for the period of $58.4 million, up 6.3% on the prior comparable period;

• $50.8 million interim revaluation loss for the six months to 30 September, down 2.3% on book

value, contributing to a net loss after tax of $19.8 million;

• Net distributable income of $29.5 million, compares to $32.9 million for the prior comparable period

which included a $3 million revenue receipt in respect of the non settlement of the Albany Lifestyle

Centre;

• Strong portfolio metrics, with occupancy at 98.4% and WALT of 5.1 years;

• NTA per share of $1.52, from $1.58 at 31 March 2023;

• Portfolio gearing steady at 36.3%, near the middle of the target band of 30-40%;

• Successful portfolio leasing and rent review outcomes, including 3.6% annualised rental growth on

rents reviewed and 91.3% tenant retention rate;

• Execution of strategy, including obtaining a 6 Green Star certification on 8-14 Willis Street and the

successful completion of other green developments, continuing our portfolio transformation and

progress to a 50% green portfolio by 2031; and

• Reaffirmed FY24 dividend guidance of 6.65 cents per share.

CHAIRMAN REVIEW

Chairman Jeff Morrison said, “The Board is pleased with the way the portfolio has continued to deliver,

despite more difficult operating conditions.

Inflation remains elevated as are interest rates. These factors have added to market volatility and

weighed down market pricing in recent times.


2

Despite this headwind, the portfolio, which remains diversified by tenant and sector, continues to be

resilient and the exposure to the Government sector provides earnings defensiveness and certainty.

Portfolio metrics, including tenant retention and occupancy ratios, have been particularly pleasing in

the interim period.

The company has continued its strategic commitment to greening the portfolio through redevelopment,

with 8-14 Willis Street achieving a 6 Green Star Built certification and a 130% NBS rating. The building

has recently received a global seismic design award. The Excellence and Merit awards earned by 107

Carlton Gore Road at this year’s Property Council New Zealand awards, further highlights the portfolio

quality and Argosy’s long term commitment to building a better future, particularly for our tenants and

the environment.

The Board is comfortable with the company's capital position and balance sheet strength, and that

Argosy has sufficient funding capacity to accommodate medium term development requirements and

any further adverse property valuation movements.

Looking ahead, dividend guidance for FY24 is maintained at 6.65 cents per share, consistent with

previous guidance.”

MANAGEMENT REVIEW

Argosy’s Chief Executive Officer, Peter Mence said “We have started FY24 off very well despite softer

operating and economic conditions.

Operationally, the business is in excellent shape with a solid capital position and strong leasing and

rent review results over the period.

We did notice a softening in tenant enquiry levels leading up to the election and the time to close deals

extended. However, there remains strong market interest and demand for green buildings. We

continue to receive positive market enquiry for green properties with their vibrant and engaging

environments, which reinforces our overall strategic direction.

The economic environment has resulted in us being even more vigilant around balancing near term

results with delivery of our longer term strategic goals. Over the first six months we focused on working

with our customers, addressing expiries and leasing vacancy within the portfolio. The combination of

our short and long term focus areas continues to underpin the delivery of our strategy, sustainable

distributions to shareholders and building a better future for all our stakeholders.”

Financial Results

Statement of Comprehensive Income

For the 6 months to 30 September, Argosy reported net property income of $58.4 million for the period,

up $3.5 million or 6.3% compared with the prior comparable period. Net property income was largely

driven by solid like-for-like rental growth from rent reviews and completed developments, particularly 8-

14 Willis Street.

Net interest expense of $21.2 million was up $4.9 million on the prior comparable period, primarily due

to higher floating rates, higher overall debt levels and lower capitalised interest.

Independent desktop valuations were performed as at 30 September on all properties by Colliers

International. The total unrealised revaluation loss for the 6 months to 30 September was $50.8 million

or 2.3% on book value. Overall cap rates softened by 19 basis points to an average of 6.03% and this

was a primary driver in revaluation decreases. By sector, Industrial decreased $15.0 million or 1.3%,

Office declined by $26.2 million or 3.2%, and Large Format Retail declined by $9.6 million or 4.6%.

The portfolio is 9.4% under-rented, excluding market rent on developments.

As a result of the desktop revaluations, Argosy’s NTA declined to $1.52 from $1.58 as at 31 March

2023. Following the revaluations, Argosy’s portfolio shows a contract yield on values of 5.97% and a

yield on fully let market rentals of 6.61%.

The revaluation loss contributed to a net loss after tax of $19.8 million, compared to a net profit of

$10.7 million in the prior comparable period.

Distributable Income

Net distributable income for the year was $29.5 million compared to $32.9 million in the prior

comparable period. The prior comparable period included a $3.0 million receipt in respect of the failed

settlement of the Albany Lifestyle Centre.

Portfolio Activity - Portfolio Metrics, Rent Reviews and Leasing

Peter Mence said “The first half of the financial year was influenced by tighter economic conditions and

geopolitical uncertainty. The team has worked hard delivering solid results around core operating

metrics including occupancy, rental growth and leasing outcomes.”

As at 30 September, Argosy’s WALT was 5.1 years and portfolio occupancy was 98.4%.

For the period to 30 September, Argosy completed 62 rent reviews, achieving annualised rental growth

of 3.6%. These reviews were achieved on rents totalling $51.9 million.

On rents subject to review by sector, Argosy achieved annualised rental growth of 3.3% for Industrial

rent reviews, 3.9% for Office rent reviews and 3.5% for Large Format Retail rent reviews.

For the period to 30 September, 54% of rents reviewed were subject to fixed reviews, 44% were

market reviews and 2% were CPI based.

Argosy completed 14 leasing transactions across 37,600m2 of NLA over the period to 30 September.

Lease transactions were made up of new leases (8), renewals (5) and one extension.

Key leasing highlights over the six month period include;

• Instant Offices NZ Limited, 105 Carlton Gore Road for 1,102m2 on a new 8 year lease;

• Colgate Palmolive, 105 Carlton Gore Road for 561m2 on a new 6 year lease;

Peter Mence said ”I was very happy with the diligence shown by the team over the first six months of

the year. We’ve managed to retain many important tenants and attract some great new tenants to the

portfolio, maintaining a retention rate above 91%.

I noted at our full year result that there was potential for a quieter period ahead. However, strong

bottom up fundamentals for Auckland Industrial, including low forecast vacancy and rental growth

together with a sizable reduction in new supply, leave the sector in positive space. The Industrial sector

remains resilient with solid forecast returns over the next three years.

Our portfolio is 53% weighted to Industrial and our pipeline of green Value Add development Industrial

sites, such as 224 Neilson Street, will continue to enhance portfolio quality and resilience over the

longer term.”

Divestment of non Core Assets

There were no divestments during the first six months of the year. However, the non Core asset at 10

Transport Place, East Tamaki, was sold subsequent to 30 September for $38 million at a premium of

7.3% to 31 March 2023 book value.

Developments

Mt Richmond

Master Planning continues at this 10.6 hectare Value Add green development site in the central

industrial precinct of Mt Wellington, only 15km from the Auckland CBD. However, due to market

conditions including high interest rates, the development has been pushed back into FY25.

Neilson Street

Neilson Street is the second of Argosy’s Value Add green development sites. It is strategically located

8km from the Auckland CBD, with excellent access to both motorway networks. The site will offer 5

Green Star high stud office/warehouse options from 3,500m2 – 7,000m2.

“This location continues to generate interest and we are commencing earthworks for this development

in early 2024. There is strong market demand for modern, well located and sustainable buildings.

Green developments like Neilson Street coupled with attractive market fundamentals, means we are

well placed to benefit from this demand.” said Peter Mence.

Capital Management

As at 30 September, Argosy’s debt-to-total-assets ratio, excluding capitalised borrowing costs, was

36.3% compared to 35.1% at 31 March 2023. This remains near the middle of our 30-40% target band

and well below the bank/bond covenant of 50%. The settlement of the sale of Transport Place will

reduce the debt-to-total-assets ratio to 35.2% on a proforma basis. The interest cover ratio was 2.5

times (2.8 times at 31 March 2023).

Argosy maintains syndicated bank facilities with ANZ Bank of New Zealand Limited, Bank of New

Zealand Limited, The Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation, Commonwealth Bank of

Australia, Westpac New Zealand Limited and Industrial and Commercial Bank of China Limited (ICBC).

The total amount of the bank facility is $525 million, an increase of $50 million from March 2023.

Argosy’s weighted average debt tenor, including bonds, was 2.8 years (3.2 years at 31 March 2023)

with the nearest tranche of bank debt expiring in April 2025. The weighted average interest rate was

5.6% (5.4% at 31 March 2023).

Strategy and Governance

Jeff Morrison said: “We remain completely focused on building a better future for all our stakeholders.

For tenants we do this by creating modern, vibrant, productive spaces where their businesses can

thrive. For the environment, we will do this through our commitment to sustainability, greening our

portfolio and reducing our carbon footprint. We’ll meet tenant demand, through redevelopment of

existing buildings and development of new ones. For our shareholders, we’ll build a better future for

them by maintaining a resilient business, providing diversified exposure to attractive property sectors

and delivering them sustainable dividends. For our people, we apply the right support and

opportunities to help them develop and grow. We remain weighted to the Auckland Industrial market,

well placed to benefit from positive long term structural trends.

As we look ahead to the remainder of FY24, the economic environment is still looking difficult for

business and consumers. The team recognises the challenges that lie ahead and remains focused on

delivering on our critical operational objectives that drive earnings and dividend sustainability. These

include completing existing developments and associated leasing up, commencing our new green

industrial projects and addressing our residual vacancies and near term expiries. Over and above

these, our key strategic goal around greening the portfolio remains a key focus and will support

resilient and sustainable dividend growth to shareholders over the long term.”

Dividends and Outlook

A second quarter dividend of 1.6625 cents per share has been declared for the September quarter with

imputation credits of 0.173398 cents per share attached. This will bring the interim dividend for the six

months to 30 September to 3.325 cents per share. Overseas investors will receive an additional

supplementary dividend of 0.078685 cents per share to offset non-resident withholding tax.

The record date for the dividend is 6 December 2023 and the payment date is 20 December 2023. The

Dividend Reinvestment Plan remains suspended until further notice.

Jeff Morrison said: “Argosy has started the FY24 year well from an operational and capital

management perspective. While the near term operating environment has its challenges, we’ll remain

focused on our strategy of delivering a sustainably focused, resilient and diversified business that

creates long term value for shareholders.”
