Precinct Properties Group (Precinct) (NZX: PCT) reported its financial results for the six months
ended 31 December 2023 today. Funds from operations (FFO) from directly held investment
portfolio of $63.5 million, up 4.3% (1H23: $60.9 million) underpinned by strong base rental growth
in Auckland. This has contributed to net operating income before tax of $54.3 million, reflecting
an increase of 3.4%

on the previous comparable period (1H23: $51.3 million) with net property
income (NPI)

for the six months to 31 December 2023 of $68.3 million up 2.5%
2
on the previous
comparable period (1H23: $65.4 million).
Total comprehensive income after tax of $12.9 million compares to $0. 6 million for the same
period last year, with the difference mainly attributable to the fair value movement across the
value of Precinct’s properties of $53.6 million recorded in the previous comparable period.

Independent valuations as at 31 December 2023 were completed across $0.7 billion of Precinct’s
partnership assets, and for the 61 Molesworth Street development in Wellington. Taking into
consideration the metrics assessed by the independent valuers, a corresponding internal
valuation review for Precinct's wholly owned assets showed the carrying value at 31 December
2023 reflected fair value of these assets, apart from the Freyberg Building in Wellington which
recorded a $6.3 million devaluation for the period.
Scott Pritchard, Precinct CEO said, “Over the first half of the 2024 financial year, the high quality
of our office portfolio has underpinned our business performance as premium assets continue to
outperform. We are delighted to have successfully progressed a number of strategic initiatives,
supported by an active capital management strategy with both the sale of the Mason Bros.
building and $150 million convertible notes issue completed during the period further positioning
us to execute on strategy. Precinct’s gearing as measured under borrower covenant, which
disregards subordinated debt remains around 32%, well under PCT borrower covenant level of
50%”.
“Moving to a stapled company structure on 1 July 2023, establishing our residential business and
sourcing new development and partnership opportunities is providing continued growth and
potential benefits for Precinct which are well aligned with the evolution of our strategy”.
“We are extremely pleased to have entered into a conditional agreement with Eke Panuku to
acquire and redevelop the Downtown Car Park site in Auckland. We are very excited about
securing this development offering and the opportunity to undertake this development alongside
capital partners, further supporting our continued approach to growing our capital partnerships.
We look forward to advancing the design of this project over the next 12 months in partnership
with Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei”.
“As we continue to develop our strategic pathway, we will leverage Precinct’s people and the
platforms we have established. On behalf of our capital partners, we have commenced two
new residential projects with a sales value of approximately $300 million and we are completing
one additional project currently. We are actively exploring additional value add opportunities
with potential capital partners which further extend our real estate offering and are expected to
provide strong returns on capital. Illustrating our strategic transition, in 2021 Precinct had a
development pipeline valued at $0.8 billion which was 100% owned by Precinct, whereas our
current development pipeline of $1 billion is around two thirds funded by capital partners. This
positions the business to drive higher returns on capital from development activity”.

Operational performance
Precinct’s occupancy continues to be strong achieving 98% and a WALT of 6.4 years recorded
as at 31 December 2023.
A total of 5,585 square metres of leasing transactions was recorded across our investment
portfolio in the first half of the financial year. While this reflects a lower level of leasing when
compared to the previous comparable period (1H23: 8,100 square metres), new office leases
were secured 16.4% above previous contract rents. Rent reviews were completed across 69,000
square metres during the period, resulting in an average annual uplift of 3.6%.
Demand for premium flexible spaces in desirable locations is a strong theme across the markets
in both cities we operate in. Across our Generator business, occupancy was 78% as at 31
December 2023. Pleasingly, the business achieved an increase of 17% in total membership
revenue and a 11% increase in Generators Events business revenue on previous periods.
At our Commercial Bay retail precinct, occupancy was 97% as at 31 December 2023. While the
retail centre recorded a weaker level of sales in the months of September and October, trading
performance was relatively strong in the later months of November and December 2023 with
sales being consistent with previous comparable periods.
Development update
Across our current active development projects, we continue to progress our two office projects
– the 61 Molesworth Street project in Wellington and Wynyard Quarter Stage 3 in Auckland. Both
of these developments remain on programme with target completions of Q3 2025 and Q1 2025,
respectively and have a combined total expected value on completion of circa $567 million.
With the completion of the Onehunga Mall Club apartments, there are three further
development projects underway. Two of these are in construction, FABRIC Stage 2 and the
Domain Collection, with York House procurement underway. The pipeline comprises a total of
224 units and a sales value of $431 million, with Precinct’s investment totalling $30 million currently.
Equity investment in the existing pipeline is currently provided by capital partners. Precinct
continues to consider participation in future opportunities, with a focus on building a pipeline of
further future projects.

Dividends payment
Precinct shareholders will receive a second-quarter dividend for Precinct Properties New Zealand
Limited (“PPNZ”) of 1.497500 cents per share in cash dividends. This dividend has no imputation
credits to attach for the quarter and therefore no supplementary dividend to be paid (see note
2).
Precinct shareholders will also receive a second-quarter dividend for Precinct Properties
Investments Limited (“PPIL”) of 0.234512 cents per share, comprising cash of 0.190000 cents per
share, imputation credits of 0.030618 cents per share and a supplementary dividend of 0.013894
cents per share (see note 2).
The record date for both PPNZ and PPIL dividends above is 8 March 2024 and payment will be
made on 22 March 2024.
Outlook and guidance
From a macroeconomic perspective, while there are short-term challenges at a local and global
level, the long-term outlook across the real estate markets is underpinned by a record level of
net migration which will be particularly felt in Auckland.
Precinct’s core business performance over the last six months has delivered pleasing results with
the strength of our office markets and the demand for premium-grade space in Auckland and
Wellington remaining robust. Our balance sheet is in a very good position, and we are committed
to maintaining this to enable the business to successfully execute on its strategy.
Precinct continues to transition to a capital partnering regime, focusing on meeting the demands
of its partners and targeting higher returns on capital. Consequently, we see a greater focus on
residential led developments over the next 24 months. While the residential build-to-sell market
remains subdued, these conditions provide significant opportunity to establish a long-term
development pipeline.
The Board expects total combined cash dividends for Precinct Properties New Zealand Limited
and Precinct Properties Investment Limited for the 2024 financial year to be 6.75 cents per stapled
security to be paid 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 2023 and reflect Precinct's direct ownership in assets, unless otherwise
stated.

FY24 INTERIM RESULTS -PAGE 4
Key themes
Capital partnerships
•Elevated investor demand being observed for residential and living sectors.
Strong underlying investment thematics of population growth and slowing
supply are leading to high rental growth and supply/demand imbalances.
•Global investor demand for office remains subdued as portfolios are
rebalanced, however liquidity remains for high quality assets.
•Interest in value-add strategies continues, however opportunities in local
markets are limited, with little distress observed to date.
•Preferences continue to evolve as global investors rebalance portfolios and
seek out sectors with best risk-adjusted returns.
•Precinct and its partners continue to explore further opportunities.
Investment market
•Higher interest rates continue to provide valuation headwinds, however
investor view that rates have peaked is improving sentiment.
•Continued demand exists where value is obvious.
•Transaction volumes remain subdued.
Construction market
•Construction costs remain elevated in nominal terms, albeit some signs of
easing are emerging.
•Replacement costs exceed market values which will limit supply and
support rental growth for existing stock, particularly for premium office
where vacancy remains low.

and realisable profit on sales.
•Precinct’s participation in residential development
management will likely lead to volatility in earnings which

Capital partnerships
Precinct has continued to execute on its capital partnership strategy, with a focus on
value-add and residential sectors
•While demand for core office remains subdued, there is
liquidity for high quality assets. Interest in office value-add
strategies continues, however with limited distress, few
opportunities have emerged in local markets.
•Precinct and its partners continue to explore further
opportunities across multiple sectors and Precinct sees
increasing potential in the residential platform.
•Progress made during the period includes:
•In partnership with PAG, forming the ~$140m joint venture
with Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei to invest in the Te Tōangaroa
precinct.
•Commenced construction of two new residential
apartment developments with a total built-out value of
circa $300m (incl. GST).
•Advancing the Wynyard Stage 3 development, in
partnership with PPILP, on track for completion in FY25.
•Progress on securing additional development sites for
living strategy and additional investment capital.
•Precinct remains on track to have total capital partnerships
of between $4-5 billion over the medium term.

New Zealand continues to build too few new houses...
•That NZ fails to deliver enough new houses to
keep pace with population growth is not
new information, but this chart highlights the
extent of undersupply in a global context.
•NZ’s dwelling density (people per dwelling)
increased through the 2010’s – as the rate of
home building failed to keep up with
population growth – when densities in other
Western countries improved.

•Auckland’s population increased 2.8% in
2023 (June year-end), rebounding from a
decrease during Covid, and is now above
pre-pandemic levels.
•With currently-elevated levels of national net
migration, Auckland is expected to continue
to grow at an above average rate in the
short term.
•The number of new dwellings consented in
2023 (November year-end) fell 27% from the
year prior. Less dwellings consented will
lead to reduced housing supply over the
next 12-36 months.

to prime grade completions resulting in backfill and
occupiers leaving temporary decant space.
•Upward pressure on market rentalsunderpinned by

•Market conditions are expected to remain tight in the

Update
FY24 INTERIM RESULTS -PAGE 21
Precinct has successfully transformed its development pipeline composition and ownership since 2021,
through internalisation, stapling and expansion of its investible universe, positioning the business for
higher returns on capital from development activities
•Precinct has maintained an average development pipeline of around $1b since committing to Commercial Bay in FY16.
•Pipeline peaked at circa $1.5b estimated value on completion in FY19.
•Development risk has reduced in recent years through major completions, notably Commercial Bay and Bowen Campus
Stages 1 & 2.
•Balance sheet risk further reduced through introduction of capital partners (PPILP and PPRL investors).

Summary
FY24 INTERIM RESULTS -PAGE 26
•Global uncertainty remains, however expectations that inflation is under control offers some
optimism.
•Headwinds for the sector exist due to higher interest rates and tax depreciation changes.
•Precinct’s directly held investment properties continue to be underpinned by excellent fundamentals
and are providing solid income growth.
•High replacement costs relative to market values support continued rental growth for existing stock.
•Precinct and its capital partners continue to explore further opportunities across multiple sectors and
Precinct sees increasing potential in the residential platform.
•Management fee income from existing partnerships are forecast to increase in coming years and the
Downtown Carpark site provides an opportunity of significant scale.
•In light of market dynamics, Precinct remains optimistic about its medium-term outlook as its evolving
strategy is expected to support growth.

Notes to the financial statements
For the six months ended 31 December 2023
PRECINCT PROPERTIES GROUP
1. GENERAL INFORMATION
1.1. Reporting entity
The interim financial statements presented are those of Precinct Properties New Zealand Limited and its wholly-owned subsidiaries
(PPNZ) and Precinct Properties Investments Limited and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (PPIL), each of PPNZ and PPIL being a "Stapled
Entity", and together the Precinct Properties Group (Precinct).
For accounting purposes, stapling gives rise to the combination of the Stapled Entities into a consolidated group. For the purposes of
financial reporting, one of the combining entities is required to be identified as the parent entity of the consolidated group. In the case
of Precinct, PPNZ has been identified as the parent for the purposes of preparing the financial statements and consequently PPIL's
equity is presented as the non-controlling interest in the financial statements.
PPNZ and PPIL are both incorporated in New Zealand and registered under the New Zealand Companies Act 19993 and are both FMC
reporting entities for the purposes of the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013.
PPIL was incorporated on 14 December 2022 as a wholly-owned subsidiary of PPNZ. On 1 July 2023, PPIL acquired Precinct's real estate
investment management business. PPIL also acquired other non real estate investment entities from PPNZ to separate Precinct's
management services and operational business from its property ownership business.
PPNZ's principal activity is investment in predominantly prime CBD properties in New Zealand. The principal activity of PPIL is the
management of real estate investment entities in New Zealand.
Shares of PPNZ and PPIL are stapled and therefore cannot be traded separately and can only be traded as stapled securities. They are
quoted on the Main Board equity securities market of NZX under the ticker code PCT.
1.2. Basis of preparation
The interim financial statements were prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in New Zealand
(GAAP), For the purposes of complying with NZ GAAP Precinct is a for-profit entity.
NZ IAS 34 and IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and waivers granted to Precinct from certain NZX Listing Rules on 18 April 2023, which
each permit PPNZ and PPIL, subject to the conditions of the waivers, to prepare interim financial statements in respect of Precinct in
place of separate interim financial statements of each stapled entity.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, all inter-company balances and transactions, income and expenses and profit or
losses resulting from intra-group transactions have been eliminated in full.
The financial statements have been prepared:
• On a historical basis except for financial instruments, investment and development properties 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.
Re-presentations - simplification of Financial Statements
To improve disclosure effectiveness and focus on the most relevant and material information, Precinct has made a number of
simplifications to the Financial Statements in the current period, and expanded disclosure for areas of interest.
The Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive income has been re-presented with the following changes:
• Management fee income has been included within gross operating revenue
• Addition of a new subtotal being operating profit before net finance expense, other income/(expenses) and income tax
• Corporate overhead expenses have been disclosed separately from employment and administration expenses
• Current tax benefit/(expense), depreciation recovered on sale and deferred tax benefit/(expense) have been grouped together
as income tax benefit/(expense) with an additional note added to show full breakdown
• All figures changed to consistently reflect income as a positive number and expenses as negative.
The Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity has been re-presented in a simplified form with all distributions to equity holders have
been consolidated into a single line for each reporting period with an additional note added to show details of each individual
distribution.
The Consolidated Statement of Financial Position has been re-presented to show Net Assets as a separate subtotal.
The simplification has also resulted in a number of aggregations and amendments where line items are not material, and affected
comparatives have been re-presented for consistency. These re-presentations have not had an impact on the Profit after tax or Total
Comprehensive Income in the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income, Net Assets in the Statement of Financial
Position, or the Net Increase/(decrease) in cash presented in the Statement of Cash Flows.
08
Notes to the financial statements (Continued)
For the six months ended 31 December 2023
PRECINCT PROPERTIES GROUP
1.3. 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 at the end of the accounting period commencing 1 July 2023.
1.4. Changes to accounting policies and disclosure of significant accounting policies
The same accounting policies and methods of computation are followed in the interim financial statements as compared with the
most recent annual financial statements.
To improve disclosure effectiveness and focus on the most relevant and material information, Precinct has made a number of
simplifications to the Financial Statements in the current period, and expanded disclosure for areas of interest. See Note 1.2 for more
detail.
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 2023.
1.5. 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).
1.6. Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions
In preparing Precinct’s interim financial statements, the boards and 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 the boards and management. Actual results may differ from the judgements, estimates and assumptions made by the
boards and 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 - refer Note 3.1
ii.
Investment in associates and joint ventures - refer Note 4.1
iii.
Lease liabilities - refer Note 3.3
iv.
Derivative financial instruments - refer Note 6.3
v.
Stapling - refer Note 1.8
1.7. Non-GAAP measures
Precinct has chosen to present the following non-GAAP measures to assist investors in understanding the different aspects of Precinct's
financial performance.
The consolidated statement of comprehensive income includes the non-GAAP measure of operating profit before net finance
expense, other income/(expenses)and income tax.
Note 2.1 shows adjusted operating profit before net finance expense, other income/(expenses) and income tax. This measure adds
back the rent expenses eliminated through the application of IFRS 16. This measure is shown as all internal reporting for operating
segments is provided to the boards of PPNZ and PPIL at a pre IFRS 16 level.
Note 5.2 sets out Precinct's calculation of Adjusted Funds From Operations (AFFO) which is an industry best practice measure for a REIT
to show the organisation's underlying and recurring earnings from its operations.

PRECINCT PROPERTIES GROUP
1.8. Significant events and transactions during the year
Precinct's financial position and performance was affected by the following events and transactions that occurred during the
reporting period:
i. Stapling
Precinct completed the corporate restructuring of the Precinct group of companies into a stapled group effective 1 July 2023. Precinct
Properties Group comprises the stapling of Precinct Properties New Zealand Limited (PPNZ) shares to Precinct Properties Investments
Limited (PPIL) shares on a one for one basis and commenced trading on the NZX Main Board on 3 July 2023. The ticker code for the
stapled shares remains PCT.
PPNZ incorporated PPIL as a wholly-owned subsidiary on 14 December 2022 with the purpose of being the holding company of the
PPNZ Non Portfolio Investment Entities (non-PIE). Immediately prior to year end, PPNZ transferred its shareholding in all the non-PIE
entities to PPIL at book value in exchange for shares in PPIL. These shares in PPIL were then distributed to PPNZ shareholders on 1 July
2023 on a one for one basis, such that all shareholders now hold an equal number of shares in PPNZ and PPIL.
ii. Investment Partnership - Bowen Investment Limited Partnership ("BILP")
The sale of 40 and 44 Bowen Street to BILP for $240.0 million settled on 15 August 2023.
iii. Investment Partnership - Te Tōangaroa
On 14 August 2023 Precinct announced the formation of a Joint Venture with Ngāti Whātua Ōrakei and PAG to invest in the
regeneration of the Te Tōangaroa precinct. Precinct and PAG have created two Limited Partnerships (Mahuhu Investment Limited
Partnership (MILP) and Tangihua Investment Limited Partnership (TILP)) through which they have invested in the Joint Venture. Precinct's
look-through investment in the Joint Venture through MILP is 16.8% and TILP is 19.0%.
Settlement of the purchase of 30 Mahuhu Crescent and 8 Tangihua Street by the partnership occurred on 31 August 2023.
iv. Convertible Note
On 21 September 2023, Precinct raised $150 million through a subordinated convertible note issue. See note 6.1 for details.
v. Downtown Car Park site
On 23 November 2023 Precinct entered a conditional agreement with Eke Panuku Development Auckland to acquire the Downtown
Car Park Site for $122.0 million, payable at the end of 2025.
vi. Purchase of 61 Molesworth Street, Wellington
On 18 December 2023 Precinct settled on the purchase of 61 Molesworth Street. As part of the settlement, the vendor repaid the
mezzanine loan facility borrowings and the facility agreement was cancelled.

2. OPERATING SEGMENTS
2.1. Segment information
a) Basis for segmentation
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision-maker.
The chief operating decision-maker has been identified as the respective board of each of PPNZ and PPIL as each makes all key
strategic resource allocation decisions.
Precinct has the following reportable segments that are managed separately because of different operating strategies. The following
describes the operation of each of the reportable segments.
Reportable segmentOperations
Investment propertiesInvestment in predominately prime CBD properties
Flexible spaceOperation of co-working and shared office and event space
HospitalityOperating of hospitality venues
Investment managementManagement of real estate investments
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, co-working and investment management segments. This
integration includes occupied space, future leasing and events. Inter segment pricing is determined on an arm's length basis.
The following is an analysis of Precinct's results, by reportable segments.

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 $1,453.6 million (June 2023: $1,385.7 million) including the NZ retail bonds, US private placements
and convertible notes.
All lenders (excluding convertible noteholders) 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.
The convertible notes are subordinated to all secured debt and will convert into ordinary shares of Precinct subject to a Cash Election.
The cash election allows Precinct to elect to instead pay a cash amount to noteholders at the end of the term.
The number of shares into which each holding of notes converts will be determined by dividing the Principal Amount ($1.00 per note)
by the Conversion Price, which is the lesser of:
1. the Conversion Price Cap of $1.36 for PCTHB notes and $1.40 for PCTHC notes; and
2. the Market Price.

PRECINCT PROPERTIES GROUP
Accounting Policies
Interest bearing liabilities
Bank loans and the NZ retail bond 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 placements are 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. 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.
The convertible note embedded financial derivatives are 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 historic standard deviation, the convertible note strike price and the risk free rate . 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 Policies
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.

6.5. Share capital
There is only one class of shares, being ordinary shares, and they rank equally with each other. All issued shares are fully paid, carry full
voting rights, have no redemption rights, have no par value and are subject to the terms of the constitution. PPNZ and PPIL shares are
"stapled" and jointly listed on the NZX (Stapled Securities). Each of PPNZ and PPIL has 1,586,352,542 shares on issue as at 31 December
2023.
Stapling of shares is a contractual and constitutional arrangement between the two Stapled Entities whereby each Stapled Entity's
equity securities are combined with (or stapled to) the equity securities issued by the other Stapled Entity. The Stapled Entities have the
same shareholders, and their shares cannot be traded or transferred independently of one another. The Stapled Securities are traded
as a single economic unit with a single quoted price.
The following table provides details of movements in Precinct's issued shares:

Income tax
Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax expense is recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that
it relates to items recognised directly in equity, in which case it is recognised in equity.
Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at
the reporting date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.

PRECINCT PROPERTIES GROUP
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REVIEW REPORT TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF PRECINCT
PROPERTIES NEW ZEALAND LIMITED AND PRECINCT PROPERTIES INVESTMENTS LIMITED
Conclusion
We have reviewed the interim financial statements of Precinct Properties New Zealand Limited ("PPNZ") and its subsidiaries and Precinct
Properties Investments Limited ("PPIL") and its subsidiaries (together "the Group"), which comprise the consolidated statement of
financial position as at 31 December 2023 and the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, consolidated statement of
changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for the six months 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 2023, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the six months ended on that date,
in accordance with New Zealand Equivalent to International Accounting Standard 34:
Interim Financial Reporting
and International
Accounting Standard 34:
Interim Financial Reporting
.
This report is made solely to the shareholders of PPNZ and PPIL, as a body. Our review has been undertaken so that we might state to
the shareholders of PPNZ and PPIL, as a body 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 PPNZ, PPIL and their
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 premises 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 PPNZ and PPIL are responsible, on behalf of the Group, for the preparation and fair presentation of the interim financial
statements in accordance with NZ IAS 34 and IAS 34 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 and IAS 34.
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.
