MCK’S FY23 RESULT DELIVERS RETURN TO PROFIT

FOR HOTEL OPERATIONS


Millennium & Copthorne Hotels New Zealand Limited (NZX: MCK) announced its 2023 results today and recorded a profit after

tax and non-controlling interests of $21.6 million.


Mr. Sim noted that the New Zealand hotel operations had made real progress on its “Revive and Thrive” strategy, returning to

profit after recording a loss for the 2022 financial year.


“2023 was a year of trading uninterrupted by Covid lockdown measures”, said MCK Chair Colin Sim. “The increased number of

international flights returning to New Zealand has improved the visitor numbers and has translated into more demand, additional

revenue and more profit but we are still short of the pre Covid level of tourists”, he said.


“We are particularly pleased that we were able to increase the hotel operations’ profit by 69% this year. That figure reflects better

trading conditions from a 17.5% year-on-year overall increase in occupancy (to 61.2%) but it also reflects the hard work that has

gone in to making each room as profitable as possible”, he said.



Highlights during the year included:


• Settling the acquisition of the Sofitel Brisbane Central Hotel in December 2023;

• Copthorne Hotel Palmerston North hosting the winning Spanish Women’s National Football Team during the key group

stages of the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup held in New Zealand and Australia;

• Hotel room refurbishments with 132 rooms completed at Millennium Hotel Queenstown, and work continuing on the

remaining 70 rooms plus commencing refurbishment of 99 rooms in Millennium Hotel Rotorua;

• Commencing the recladding, reglazing and installation of air-conditioning into the Copthorne Hotel Palmerston North;

• Renewal of bank facility through to January 2027 with an increased limit of $120.0m;

• Restaurant One80 (located in Copthorne Hotel Oriental Bay) winning the Burger Wellington competition, part of the

annual Visa Wellington On a Plate food festival, beating over 200 entries from across the city.



Financial Performance & Financial Position


For the year ended 31 December 2023, MCK recorded a profit attributable to owners of the parent of $21.6 million (2022: $21.7

million). Of particular note, MCK’s New Zealand hotel operations contributed a profit before tax of $11.6 million (2022: $4.0 million

loss), as the 2026 Revive and Thrive strategy continues to be rolled out.


This positive turnaround reflects not only the return to open borders and uninterrupted trading, but also the sharp focus on

improving profitability across our network during the year. Building on this profit growth will be key to our 2024 results. The

results for CDL Investments New Zealand Limited (“CDI”), our majority-owned subsidiary, reflected a softness in the residential

property markets which resulted in contributing $18.7 million (2022: $43.3 million) to our overall pre-tax profit numbers.


Our total revenue in 2023 was $145.7 million (2022: $144.2 million) and our earnings per share was 13.65 cents per share (2022:

13.72 cents per share). At 31 December 2023, MCK’s shareholders’ funds excluding non-controlling interests was $547.9 million

(2022: $531.0 million). Total assets increased to $746.8 million (2022: $709.2 million) with net asset backing (with land and building

at cost and before distributions) also increasing to 345.8 cents per share (2022: 335.4 cents per share).


New Zealand Hotel Operations


In 2023, our New Zealand hotels recorded an operating revenue of $101.1 million (2022: $65.2 million) for the year. This increase

is pleasing and reflects a return to pre-pandemic demand patterns both domestically and internationally.


Overall, we recorded an occupancy percentage of 61.2% (2022: 43.7%) across all of our hotels and we also saw a healthy

increase in average RevPAR (Revenue Per Available Room) of $120.03 (2022: $76.59). The RevPAR increase is pleasing given

our efforts to improve the profitability of each room sold. This had been particularly challenging at the commencement of the year

with a shortage in staffing levels and severe weather events impacting the ability to sustain the business demand.


Ensuring that our physical product remains competitive is important to reviving our future revenues and profits. The second stage

of our refurbishment at Millennium Hotel Queenstown was completed at the end of 2023 with a further 132 rooms completed.

2024 will see additional work done on the remaining 70 rooms and 18 suites which are expected to be completed by Q3 2024.

The first stage of the guest room refurbishment at Millennium Hotel Rotorua of 99 rooms is reaching completion and will be ready

before the end of Q1 2024.

CDL Investments New Zealand Limited (“CDLI”)


As noted above, CDLI’s 2023 results reflected some weakness in the property markets seen from the end of 2022 which carried

over into part of 2023. Despite this, CDLI was still able to record an operating profit after tax for the year of $13.5 million (2022:

$31.2 million).


CDLI has kept its dividend at 3.5 cents per share and is due to be paid in May.



Australia Update


We were delighted to complete the acquisition of the Sofitel Brisbane Central in December 2023 after announcing the acquisition

in March together with our immediate parent company Millennium & Copthorne Hotels Limited (UK). While there was minimal

benefit to our 2023 results given the timing of completion, we are looking forward to seeing the hotel do well over the next twelve

months given its strong performance in its key market segments and very positive occupancy and room rates. As announced

previously, the hotel will continue to be managed under its existing hotel management agreement and branding.


MCK continues to sell down its Zenith Residency apartments in Sydney with a total of five (2022: 5) apartments sold during 2023.

We continue to own and manage 31 apartments being predominantly one bedroom units with some two – three bedrooms units.

MCK will continue to sell down its interest in the Zenith Residences in 2024 and utilize these funds within its Australian operations.



Dividend Announcement


MCK’s Board has resolved to declare and pay all shareholders a fully imputed dividend of 3 cents per share for 2023. The dividend,

payable to all shareholders, will be paid on 17 May 2024 with a record date of 10 May 2024.

The Board has determined that the dividend balances provide a consistent level of returns to shareholders and retain sufficient

cash resources required for ongoing refurbishment and other projects.



Outlook


We are entering the 2024 year with a sense of optimism, with many things to look forward to. MCK remains on track with its

“Revive and Thrive” strategy with the completion of key refurbishments in Queenstown and Rotorua. New refurbishment projects

at Copthorne Hotel & Resort Bay of Islands (and others currently being assessed) will see commencement during 2024 and are

expected to be completed within the year. We expect them to deliver additional revenue growth as soon as they become available.


Even though we have not noticed a meaningful return of Chinese visitors, with visitor numbers steadily improving and more flight

capacity into New Zealand, particularly in the high seasons, we are expecting this growth in numbers to translate into additional

demand for accommodation at our key properties. We are working hard across all of our business segments to maximise the

number of confirmed bookings at our properties and improve our market share throughout.


We will also have the benefit of a full year’s trading from Sofitel Brisbane Central which we expect to be strong.


Our optimism is tempered with a note of caution – the cost of doing business continued to increase in 2023 and we expect these

increases to continue to a lesser extent in 2024. While some of these increases can and will be partially offset by the ability to

increase room rates in response to demand, we are conscious of optimising our business to ensure that our growth opportunities

are not adversely affected.


We believe we are on track with our Strategy to Revive and shift to Thrive. We continue to be focused on reviving our people,

products and profits throughout 2024.

Millennium & Copthorne Hotels New Zealand Limited

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2023

Significant accounting policies

Millennium & Copthorne Hotels New Zealand Limited is a company domiciled in New Zealand registered under the Companies Act 1993 and

listed on the New Zealand Stock Exchange. Millennium & Copthorne Hotels New Zealand Limited (the “Company”) is a Financial Markets

Conduct Reporting Entity in terms of the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013 and the Financial Reporting Act 2013. The financial statements

of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2023 comprise the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the “Group”). The

registered office is located at Level 7, 23 Customs Street East, Auckland, New Zealand.

The principal activities of the Group are ownership and operation of hotels in New Zealand; development and sale of residential land in New

Zealand; investment properties comprising commercial warehousing and retail shops in New Zealand; and development and sale of residential

units in Australia.

(a) Statement of compliance

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with New Zealand Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (NZ GAAP).

They comply with New Zealand equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (NZ IFRSs) as appropriate for Tier 1

profit-oriented entities. The financial statements also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs).

The financial statements were authorised for issuance on 26 February 2024.

(b) Basis of preparation

The financial statements are presented in the Company’s functional currency of New Zealand Dollars, rounded to the nearest

thousand, unless otherwise indicated. They are prepared on the historical cost basis and on a going concern basis.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with NZ IFRSs requires management to make judgments, estimates and

assumptions that affect the application of the Group’s policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses.

Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the

period in which the estimate is revised and in any future period affected.

In particular, information about significant areas of estimation uncertainty and critical judgements in applying accounting policies

that have the most significant effect on the amount recognised in the financial statements are described in Note 21 – Accounting

Estimates and Judgements.

(c) Change in accounting policies and new standards adopted in the year

The accounting policies have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these consolidation financial statements. The

accounting policies are now included within the relevant notes to the consolidated financial statements.

The Group adopted all new and amended standards that became effective during the reporting period. However, they did not have

any impact on the financial position, performance and cash flows of the Group.

(d) Foreign currency

Foreign currency transactions

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated at the foreign exchange rate ruling at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets

and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the balance date are translated to New Zealand dollars at the foreign exchange

rate ruling at that date. Foreign exchange differences arising on translation are recognised in the income statement. Non-monetary

assets and liabilities that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate at the

date of the transaction. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are stated at fair value are

translated to New Zealand dollars at foreign exchange rates ruling at the dates the fair value was determined.

(e) Insurance proceeds

Compensation from third parties for items of property, plant and equipment that were damaged, impaired, lost or given up is included

in the profit or loss when the compensation becomes virtually certain. Any subsequent purchase or construction of replacement

assets are separate economic events and are accounted for separately.

(f) Revenue

Revenue from sale of goods and services in the ordinary course of business is recognised when the Group satisfies a performance

obligation by transferring control of a promised good or service to the customer. The amount of revenue recognised is the amount

of the transaction price allocated to the satisfied performance obligation.

Revenue represents amounts derived from:

The ownership, management and operation of hotels: revenue from sale of goods is recognised at the point control is

transferred to the customer (point of sale) and for services provided, over the period the service is provided.

Income from property rental: recognised on an accruals basis, straight line over the lease period. Lease incentives

granted are recognised as an integral part of the total rental income.

Income from development property sales: recognised when the customer obtains control (when the title is transferred)

of the property and is able to direct and obtain the benefits from the property. The Group grants settlement terms of up

to 12 months on certain sections as part of the Sale and Purchase agreement for unconditional sales. In some instances,

the acquirers are permitted access to the residential sections for building activities prior to settlement. However, the

acquirer does not obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits of the asset until final settlement of the land and title

has passed.

An operating segment is a distinguishable component of the Group:

that is engaged in business activities from which it earns revenues and incurs expenses;

whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the Group’s chief operating decision maker to make decisions on

resource allocation to the segment and assess its performance; and

for which discrete financial information is available.

Segment information is presented in respect of the Group’s reporting segments. Operating segments are the primary basis of

segment reporting. The Group has determined that its chief operating decision maker is the Board of Directors on the basis that it

is this group which determines the allocation of resources to segments and assesses their performance.

Segment results include items directly attributable to a segment as well as those that can be allocated on a reasonable basis.

Segment capital expenditure is the total cost incurred during the period to acquire segment assets that are expected to be used for

more than one period.

Finance income comprises interest income on funds invested, dividend income and foreign currency gains that are recognised in

profit or loss. Interest income is recognised as it accrues, using the effective interest method. Dividend income is recognised in the

income statement on the date the entity’s right to receive payments is established which in the case of quoted securities is the ex-

dividend date.

Finance expenses comprise interest payable on borrowings calculated using the effective interest rate method, interest costs on lease

liability and foreign exchange losses that are recognised in the income statement.

FIN 13

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2023

5. Income tax expense - continued

Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the

balance date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.

Deferred tax is recognised in respect of the temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial

reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. The following temporary differences are not provided for: goodwill

not deductible for tax purposes; the initial recognition of assets or liabilities that neither affect accounting nor taxable profit; and

differences relating to investments in subsidiaries to the extent that they will probably not reverse in the foreseeable future. The

amount of deferred tax provided is based on the expected manner of realisation or settlement of the carrying amount of assets and

liabilities, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the balance date.

A deferred tax asset is recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the

asset can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be

realised.

Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset only if the Group has a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets

against current tax liabilities; the Group intends to settle net; and the deferred tax assets and the deferred tax liabilities relate to

income taxes levied by the same taxation authority.

Group

Initial recording

Items of property, plant and equipment are initially stated at cost. The cost of purchased property, plant and equipment is the value

of the consideration given to acquire the assets and the value of other directly attributable costs, which have been incurred in bringing

the assets to the location and condition necessary for their intended service. Where parts of an item of property, plant and equipment

have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items of property, plant and equipment.

Capital expenditure on major projects is recorded separately within property, plant and equipment as capital work in progress. Once

the project is complete the balance is transferred to the appropriate property, plant and equipment categories. Capital work in progress

is not depreciated.

Subsequent measurement

Property, plant and equipment is subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. The Group

recognises the cost of replacing part of such an item of property, plant and equipment when that cost is incurred if it is probable that

the future economic benefits embodied within the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All

other costs are recognised in the income statement as an expense as incurred.

Impairment

The carrying amounts of the Group’s assets are reviewed at each balance date to determine whether there is any indication of

impairment. If any such indication exists, the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. For impairment testing, the assets are

grouped together into the smallest asset group that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are independent of other

assets or cash generating units “CGU”. The recoverable amount of assets or CGU is the greater of their fair value less disposal

costs and their value in use. An impairment loss is recognised in the income statement whenever the carrying amount of an asset or

CGU exceeds its estimated recoverable amount.

The testing for impairment is undertaken with an internal review by management and supplemented by external review on selected

hotels by an independent registered valuer. The internal review requires management to determine the recoverable amounts by

estimating future cash flows to be generated by the cash generating units. The basis of the impairment test is the net present value

of the future earnings of the assets. The major unobservable inputs that management use that require judgement in estimating

future cash flows include expected rate of growth in revenue and costs, projected occupancy and average room rates, operational

and maintenance expenditure profiles, terminal capitalisation rate, and the appropriate discount rate to apply when discounting

future cash flows. Average annual growth rates appropriate to the hotels range from 4.98% to 11.90% (2022: 5.14% to 78.61% over

five years) over the five years projection. Pre-tax discount rates ranging between 6.50% to 10.75% (2022: 6.25% and 10.50%) were

applied to the future cash flows of the individual hotels based on the specific circumstances of the property. Hotel assets dependent

on international travel have been projected to return to normal pre-COVID occupancy levels during 2025.

During the year management identified four (2022: four) hotel assets with a carrying value of $39.43 million that had indicators of

impairment and were subsequently tested for impairment. The recoverable amount of one of the hotel assets with a carrying value

of $9.34 million was determined on a highest and best use basis by reference to the fair value of the land less demolition costs

using comparative land sales data. The fair value of this hotel asset exceeded its carrying value by $0.11 million and is considered

to be sensitive to impairment from a reasonably possible change in square metre rate.

The remaining three other hotel assets with a carrying value of $30.09 million were considered to be sensitive to impairment. The

sensitivity table below schedules out the thresholds which trigger impairments.

Terminal capitalisation rate Increase by 6.50% points Increase by 1.00% points Increase by 1.50% points

* Revenue per Available Room – a hospitality metric combining average room rate and occupancy rate.

Depreciation

Land is not depreciated. Depreciation on other assets is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate their cost to their residual

values over their estimated useful lives, as follows:

Building core 50 years or lease term if shorter

Building surfaces and finishes30 years or lease term if shorter

Plant and machinery 15 - 20 years

Furniture and equipment10 years

Soft furnishings5 - 7 years

Computer equipment 5 years

Motor vehicles4 years

No residual values are ascribed to building surfaces and finishes. Residual values ascribed to building core depend on the nature,

location and tenure of each property. Residual values ascribed to building core range between 10% to 24% of the building core.

Disposal or retirement

Gains or losses arising from the disposal or retirement of property, plant and equipment are determined as the difference between

the actual net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognised in the income statement on the date of

retirement or disposal.

Right of use assets

The accounting policy for right of use asset is disclosed in Note 22.

Pledged assets

A total of three (2022: two) hotel properties with a total book value of $75.33 million (2022: $37.70 million) are pledged to the bank

as security against the loan facility.

Climate-related disclosure

The Group is currently in the process of identifying and reporting on the impacts of climate change that are affecting the business.

Climate change poses significant risks and challenges for the hotel industry, as it affects the physical, operational, and financial

aspects of hotel properties. Extreme weather events, such as floods, storms, heatwaves, and droughts, can damage the hotel

infrastructure, disrupt the supply chain, reduce the occupancy and revenue, and increase the insurance and maintenance costs.

While hotel investors, managers, and owners are increasingly cognisant of the climate-related impacts on their properties, the

investment community have yet to price in the climate-related impacts on the asset values. This means that the current market

value of hotel properties may not reflect the potential losses or gains associated with their exposure to climate risks or their

adoption of sustainability measures, decarbonisation initiatives, and sound environmental stewardship.

Development land is carried at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Interest of $Nil (2022: $Nil) was capitalised during the year.

Residential development at balance date consists of the residential development known as Zenith Residences in Sydney, Australia.

Property held for future development and development property completed and held for sale are stated at the lower of cost and net

realisable value. The net realisable value of inventories is the estimated selling price in ordinary course of business less the estimated

costs of completion and costs necessary to make the sale. The determination of net realisable value of inventories involves estimates

taking into consideration prevailing market conditions, current prices and expected date of commencement and completion of the

projects, the estimated future selling price, cost to complete projects and selling costs. The amount of any write-down of inventories is

recognised as an expense in the Income Statement to the extent that the carrying value of inventories exceeds its estimated net

realisable value. Cost includes the cost of acquisition, development, and holding costs. All holding costs incurred after completion of

development are expensed as incurred. Revenue and profit are not recognised on development properties until the legal title passes

to the buyer when the full settlement of the purchase consideration of the properties occurs and the development property is

derecognised.

The fair value of development property held at 31 December 2023 was determined, by an independent registered valuer, DM

Koomen SPINZ of Extensor Advisory Limited. The net realisable value was estimated from the fair value. The net realisable value

as determined by the independent registered valuer, exceeded the carry value of development property.

11.Investment properties

Group

Investment properties consist of commercial warehousing at Wiri in Auckland, retail shops at Prestons Park in Christchurch, and

retail shops at Stonebrook in Rolleston. The fair value of investment properties at 31 December 2023 was determined by an

independent registered valuer, DM Koomen SPINZ, of Extensor Advisory Limited as $62.69 million (2022: $62.62 million). The fair

value measurement was categorised as Level 3 (highest of the fair value hierarchy) based on the inputs to the valuation

methodology used i.e. income capitalisation approach.

11.Investment properties - continued

Investment properties are properties held either to earn rental income or capital appreciation or for both, but not for sale in the

ordinary course of business, use in the production or supply of goods and services, or for administrative purposes. Investment

properties are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Cost includes expenditure that is

directly attributable to the acquisition of the investment properties. Costs of self-constructed investment properties include costs of

materials and direct labour, any other costs directly attributable to bringing the investment properties to a working condition for their

intended use and capitalised borrowing costs. Gains and losses on disposal of investment properties (calculated as the difference

between the net proceeds from disposal and the carrying amounts of the investment properties) are recognised in the profit and

loss.

Land is not depreciated. Depreciation on the investment properties is computed by asset classes using the straight-line method to

allocate their cost to their residual values over their estimated useful lives, as follows:

 Building core 50 years

 Building surfaces and finishes 30 years

 Building services 20 – 30 years

Impairment

Annual reviews of the carrying amounts of investment properties are undertaken for indicators of impairment. Where indicators of

impairment were identified, the recoverable amounts were estimated based on internal or external valuations undertaken. The cash

generating units (CGU) are individual properties. The recoverable amounts of the investment properties, being the higher of the fair

value less costs to sell and value-in-use, were predominantly determined using the fair value less costs to sell basis and were

estimated using the income capitalisation approach.

During the year management identified two (2022: two) properties with a carrying value of $13.67 million that had indicators of

impairment. Average market capitalisation rates appropriate to the properties range from 6.50% to 7.00% (2022: 6.25% to 6.75%).

Average market rent per square metre rates appropriate to the properties range from $341 to $358 (2022: $330 to $368).

Operating lease

The Group leases out its investment property. The Group has classified these leases as operating leases, because they do not

transfer substantially all of the risks and rewards incidental to the ownership of the assets.

Rental income recognised by the Group during 2023 was $2.49 million (2022: $1.24 million).

The following table sets out a maturity analysis of lease payments, showing the undiscounted lease payments to be received after

the reporting date.

Trade and other receivables are stated at their cost less impairment losses. The carrying amounts of the trade receivables, other

trade receivables, and prepayments are reviewed at each balance date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment.

The Group applies the simplified approach to providing for expected credit losses prescribed by NZ IFRS 9, which permits the use of

the lifetime expected credit loss provision for all trade receivables. The allowance for doubtful debts on trade receivables are either

individually or collectively assessed based on number of days overdue. The Group takes into account the historical loss experience

and incorporates forward looking information and relevant macroeconomic factors.

17.Financial instruments

The Group only holds non-derivative financial instruments which comprise cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables,

trade receivables due from related parties, related party advances, secured bank loans, trade and other payables and trade payables

due to related parties.

Non-derivative financial instruments are recognised initially at fair value plus, for instruments not at fair value through the income

statement, any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition non-derivative financial instruments are

measured as described in accounting policies below.

On initial recognition, a financial asset is classified as subsequently measured at: Amortised cost; FVOCI- debt investment; FVOCI-

equity investment; or FVTPL. Financial liabilities are classified as measured at amortised cost or FVTPL.

Financial assets are not reclassified subsequent to their initial recognition unless the Group changes its business model for managing

financial assets, in which case all affected financial assets are reclassified on the first day of the first reporting period following the

change in the business model.

A financial assets is measured at amortised cost if it meets both of the following conditions and not designated at FVTPL:

It is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets to collect contractual cash flows: and

Its contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal

amount outstanding.

Financial assets are derecognised if the Group’s contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial assets expire or if the Group

transfer the financial asset to another party without retaining control or substantially all risks and rewards of the asset. Financial

liabilities are derecognised if the Group’s obligations specified in the contract expire or are discharged or cancelled.

Exposure to credit, liquidity and market risks arises in the normal course of the Group’s business.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk represents the Group’s ability to meet its contractual obligations. The Group evaluates its liquidity requirements on an

ongoing basis. In general, the Group generates sufficient cash flows from its operating activities to meet its obligations arising from

its financial liabilities. The Group’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient

liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking

damage to the Group’s reputation.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2023

17.Financial instruments -continued

Credit risk

Management has a credit policy in place and the exposure to credit risk is monitored on an ongoing basis. Credit evaluations are

performed on all customers requiring credit over a certain amount. The Group does not require collateral in respect of financial assets.

There are no significant aged debtors which have not been fully provided for.

Investments are allowed only in short-term financial instruments and only with counterparties (minimum rating of Moody’s Aa3)

approved by the Board, such that the exposure to a single counterparty is minimized.

At balance date there were no significant concentrations of credit risk. The maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by the

carrying amount of each financial asset in the statement of financial position. The maximum exposure to credit risk in Australia is

$11,000 (2022: $4,000). All other credit risk exposure relates to New Zealand.

Market risk

(i) Interest rate risk

In managing interest rate risks the Group aims to reduce the impact of short-term fluctuations on the Group’s earnings with an ongoing

review of its exposure to changes in interest rates on its borrowings, the maturity profile of the debt, and the cash flows of the

underlying debt. The Group maintains its borrowings at fixed rates on short term which gives the Group flexibility in the context of the

economic climate, business cycle, loan covenants, cash flows, and cash balances.

An increase of 1.0% in interest rates on deposits would have increased profit before tax for the Group in the current period by $1.43

million (2022: $1.58 million increase), assuming all other variables remained constant.

Effective interest and re-pricing analysis

In respect of income-earning financial assets and interest-bearing financial liabilities the following table indicates their effective

interest rates at the balance date and the periods in which they re-price.

* These assets / (liabilities) bear interest at a fixed rate

(ii) Foreign currency risk

The Group owns 100.00% (2022: 100.00%) of KIN Holdings Limited. Substantially all the operations of this subsidiary which includes

the Joint Venture is denominated in foreign currencies. The foreign currencies giving rise to this risk are Australian Dollars. The Group

has determined that the primary risk affects the carrying values of the net investments in its foreign operations with the currency

movements being recognised in the foreign currency translation reserves. The Group has not taken any instruments to manage this

risk. The Group is not exposed to any other foreign currency risks.

Capital management

The Group’s capital includes share capital and retained earnings.

The Group’s policy is to maintain a strong capital base so as to maintain investor, creditor and market confidence and to sustain future

development of the business. The impact of the level of capital on shareholders’ return is also recognised and the Group recognises

the need to maintain a balance between the higher returns that might be possible with greater gearing and the advantages and

security afforded by a sound capital position.

The Group is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.

The allocation of capital is, to a large extent, driven by optimisation of the return achieved on the capital allocated.

The Group’s policies in respect of capital management and allocation are reviewed regularly by the Board of Directors. There were

no changes in the Group’s capital management policies during the year.

Estimation of fair values

The following summarises the major methods and assumptions used in estimating the fair values of financial instruments reflected in

the table:

(a) Cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and related party balances. The carrying amounts for these balances approximate

their fair value because of the short maturities of these items.

(b) Borrowings. The carrying amounts for the borrowings represent their fair values because the interest rates are reset to market

periodically, every 1 to 2 months.

but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment.

21.Accounting estimates and judgements

Management discussed with the Audit Committee the development, selection and disclosure of the Group’s critical accounting policies

and estimates and the application of these policies and estimates.

Critical accounting judgements in applying the Group’s accounting policies

Certain critical accounting judgements in applying the Group’s accounting policies are described below.

Development property

The Group is also exposed to a risk of impairment to development properties should the carrying value exceed the net realisable

value due to market fluctuations in the value of development properties. However, there is no indication of impairment as the net

realisable value of development properties significantly exceed the carrying value determined by an independent registered valuer.

The valuer adopts the Sales Comparison Approach to determine rates per hectare/per square metre for block land holdings in addition

to recent section sales to derive the gross realisation values. The net realisable values are determined from gross realisation values

after deducting appropriate selling costs.

For residential land under development and is yet to commence development in the short term, the valuer adopts the Residual

Subdivision Approach. This approach considers the gross realisation values of the sections less costs associated with development

including GST, sales commissions, legal fees, civil and development costs including Council contributions, professional fees, and

contingency allowances. In addition, holding costs are deducted for the estimated timing of development and sell down periods.

In both valuation approaches, the valuer makes assumptions relating to section prices, sell down periods, consumer confidence,

unemployment rates, interest rates, and external economic factors. These assumptions are sensitive to economic factors such as net

migration, Official Cash Rate set by the Reserve Bank, inflation, residential market activity, and business confidence.

Investment property

The Group is also exposed to a risk of impairment to investment properties should the carrying value exceed the recoverable amount

due to market fluctuations in the value of investment properties. However, there is no indication of impairment as the recoverable

amount determined by an independent registered valuer significantly exceeds the carrying value of investment properties. In

determining the recoverable amount, the valuer adopts the Income Capitalisation Approach whereby the assessed market rent for

each asset is capitalised in perpetuity from the valuation date at an appropriate capitalisation rate. The adopted capitalisation rate

reflects the nature, location, and tenancy profile of the property together with current market investment criteria as evidenced by

recent sales. The recoverable amount is sensitive to movements in the adopted capitalisation rate and the market rent.

Property, plant, and equipment

The Group determines whether tangible fixed assets are impaired when indicators of impairments exist or based on the annual

impairment assessment. The annual assessment requires an estimate of the recoverable value of the cash generating units to which

the tangible fixed assets are allocated, which is predominantly at the individual hotel site level. An internal review is performed which

requires management to determine the recoverable amount by estimating future cash flows to be generated by the cash generating

units. External valuations are undertaken on the hotel assets on a triennial cycle. Estimation of the recoverable amount of the hotel

assets is done with reference to fair value determined by the external valuer, using the income approach and adjusted for costs to

sell, which requires estimation of future cash flows of a third-party efficient operator, the time period over which they will occur, an

appropriate discount rates, terminal capitalisation rates and growth rates. The Directors consider that the assumptions made

represent their best estimate, and that the discount rate and terminal capitalisation rate used are appropriate given the risks

associated with the specific cash flows.

22. Lease

At inception of a contract, the Group assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the

contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. To assess

whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset, the Group uses the definition of a lease in NZ IFRS 16.

This policy is applied to contracts entered into, on or after 1 January 2019.

At commencement or on modification of a contract that contains a lease component, the Group allocates the consideration in the

contract to each lease component on the basis of its relative stand-alone prices.

The Group recognises a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. The right-of-use asset was

recognised at cost on initial recognition, which comprised the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments

made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to dismantle and remove

the underlying asset or to restore the underlying asset or the site on which it is located, less any lease incentives received.

The right of use asset is depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date to the end of the lease term,

unless the lease transfers ownership of the underlying asset to the Group by the end of the lease term or the cost of the right-of-

use asset reflects that the Group will exercise a purchase option. In that case the right-of-use asset will be depreciated over the

useful life of the underlying asset, which is determined on the same basis as those of property and equipment. In addition, the right-

of-use asset is periodically reduced by impairment losses, if any, and adjusted for certain re-measurements of the lease liability.

22.Lease -continued

22(a) Lease Liability

The expected contractual undiscounted cash outflows of lease liabilities are as follows:

Group

Dollars In Thousands 2023 2022

Less than 6 months 1,081 1,032

More than 6 months but within 12 months 1,079 939

More than 1 year but within 2 years 2,253 1,870

More than 2 years but within 5 years 10,507 8,674

After 5 years 91,584 93,857

106,504 106,372

The Group restated the comparative amounts (31 December 2022) in respect of the undiscounted lease commitment as the prior

year was presented on a discounted basis. This has been corrected in the above note. The error has no impact over the profit or

loss, financial position, and cashflow.

The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date,

discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Group’s incremental borrowing

rate. Generally, the Group uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate.

The Group determines its incremental borrowing rate by obtaining interest rates from various external financing sources and makes

certain adjustments to reflect the terms of the lease and type of the asset leased.

Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise the following:

- fixed payments, including in-substance fixed payments;

- variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or rate as at the commencement

date;

- amounts expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee; and

- the exercise price under a purchase option that the Group is reasonably certain to exercise, lease payments in an optional

renewal period if the Group is reasonably certain to exercise an extension option, and penalties for early termination of a lease

unless the Group is reasonably certain not to terminate early.

The lease liability is measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. It is remeasured when there is a change in

future lease payments arising from a change in an index or rate, if there is a change in the Group’s estimate of the amount expected

to be payable under a residual value guarantee, if the Group changes its assessment of whether it will exercise a purchase,

extension or termination option or if there is a revised in-substance fixed lease payment.

When the lease liability is remeasured in this way, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the right-of-use

asset, or is recorded in profit or loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset has been reduced to zero.

The Group presents right-of-use assets that do not meet the definition of investment property in ‘property, plant and equipment’ and

lease liabilities in the Statement of Financial Position.

Short-term leases and leases of low-value assets

The Group has elected not to recognise right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for leases of low-value assets and short-term leases,

including IT equipment. The Group recognises the lease payments associated with these leases as an expense on a straight-line

basis over the lease term.

A number of amended standards are effective for annual periods beginning after 1 January 2024 and earlier application is permitted.

The Group has not early adopted any new or amended standards in preparing the consolidated financial statements; refer to

Significant Accounting Policies, part (c). The Group will be adopting the amended standards from 1 January 2024.

The following amended standards are not expected to have a significant impact on the Group’s consolidated financial statements

and only affect disclosure:

Amendments to NZ IAS1 Non-current Liabilities with Covenants.

Amendments to NZ IFRS 16 Lease Liability in a Sale and Leaseback.

Amendments to NZ IAS 7 Supplier Finance Arrangements.

Amendments to NZ IFRS 7 Supplier Finance Arrangements.

Amendments to FRS-44 New Zealand Additional Disclosures of Fees for Audit Firms’ Services.

24. Investment in joint venture

A joint venture is an arrangement in which the Group has joint control, over the financial and operating policies. They are accounted

for using the equity method. The financial statements include the Group’s share of the income, expenses and reserves of the joint

venture from the date that joint control commences until the date that joint control ceases. When the Group’s share of losses exceeds

its interest in an equity accounted investee, the carrying amount of that interest (including any long-term investments) is reduced to

nil and the recognition of further losses is discontinued except to the extent that the Group has an obligation or has made payments

on behalf of the joint venture.

During the year, the Group through Kingsgate Holdings Pty Limited (100% subsidiary) formed a 50:50 joint venture with its Parent

Company to acquire the leasehold assets and the freehold assets of the Sofitel Brisbane Central hotel in Queensland, Australia.

The joint venture is Marquee Hotel Holdings Pty Ltd Limited. Within the Marquee Hotel Holdings group, there are six wholly owned

entities. Marquee Hotel Holdings group completed the acquisition of the Sofitel Brisbane Central on 15 December 2023. The hotel

is managed by an external hotel management group.

The Group’s share of profit in its joint venture for the year was $73,065.

Independent Auditor’s Report

To the shareholders of Millennium & Copthorne Hotels New Zealand Limited

Report on the audit of the consolidated financial statements

Opinion

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements

of Millennium & Copthorne Hotels New Zealand

Limited (the ’company’) and its subsidiaries (the

'group') on pages 1 to 28 present fairly, in all material

respects:

i. the group’s financial position as at 31 December

2023 and its financial performance and cash flows

for the year ended on that date;

in accordance with New Zealand Equivalents to

International Financial Reporting Standards issued

by the New Zealand Accounting Standards Board

and International Financial Reporting Standards

issued by the International Accounting Standards

Board.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated

financial statements which comprise:

— the consolidated statement of financial position

as at 31 December 2023;

— the consolidated income statement, statements

of comprehensive income, changes in equity and

cash flows for the year then ended; and

— notes, including a summary of significant

accounting policies.


Basis for opinion


We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (New Zealand) (‘ISAs (NZ)’). We

believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

We are independent of the group in accordance with Professional and Ethical Standard 1 International Code of

Ethics for Assurance Practitioners (Including International Independence Standards) (New Zealand) issued by the

New Zealand Auditing and Assurance Standards Board and the International Ethics Standards Board for

Accountants’ International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including International Independence

Standards) (‘IESBA Code’), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these

requirements and the IESBA Code.

Our responsibilities under ISAs (NZ) are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the

consolidated financial statements section of our report.

Our firm has also provided other services to the group in relation taxation compliance, taxation advisory and

strategy support services. Subject to certain restrictions, partners and employees of our firm may also deal with

the group on normal terms within the ordinary course of trading activities of the business of the group. These

matters have not impaired our independence as auditor of the group. The firm has no other relationship with, or

interest in, the group.


Materiality


The scope of our audit was influenced by our application of materiality. Materiality helped us to determine the

nature, timing and extent of our audit procedures and to evaluate the effect of misstatements, both individually

and on the consolidated financial statements as a whole. The materiality for the consolidated financial statements








as a whole was set at $4.6m determined with reference to a benchmark of group total assets. We chose the

benchmark because, in our view, this is a key measure of the group’s performance.


Key audit matters


Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of

the consolidated financial statements in the current period. We summarise below those matters and our key audit

procedures to address those matters in order that the shareholders as a body may better understand the process

by which we arrived at our audit opinion. Our procedures were undertaken in the context of and solely for the

purpose of our statutory audit opinion on the consolidated financial statements as a whole and we do not express

discrete opinions on separate elements of the consolidated financial statements.

The key audit matter How the matter was addressed in our audit

Impairment of hotel assets

Refer to Note 9 to the Financial Report.

Impairment of hotel assets is a key audit matter

given the magnitude of the balance (being 35%

of total assets), conditions that indicate

potential impairment and the judgement

required by us in assessing the group’s key

valuation assumptions to determine the value

of specific hotel assets.

The recoverable amount of the hotel assets

was determined by an external valuer (for

selected hotels) and the group’s internal

discounted cash flow models. We focussed on

the key assumptions in the valuation models

including the projected occupancy rates,

average daily room rates (ADRs), projected

direct costs, discount rate and terminal

capitalisation rate. Due to the ongoing recovery

of international travel from COVID-19 and

increased funding costs, the level of estimation

uncertainty in relation to the projected

occupancy rates and ADRs is still significant.

This uncertainty is also considered in

determining discount rates and terminal

capitalisation rates as well as considering

recent transactions. These conditions

necessitate additional scrutiny by us, as a

change in assumptions in the impairment

models could have a material impact on the

carrying value of hotel assets.

Our audit procedures included:

- Evaluating the group’s determination of the appropriate cash-

generating unit (“CGU”) for impairment testing purposes.

- Assessing each hotel asset for impairment indicators

including consideration of changes in land lease and other

contractual arrangements, changes in economic conditions

and financial performance, physical quality of the underlying

asset and capital expenditure requirements.

- Assessing the scope of work performed, competency,

professional qualifications, independence and experience of

the external valuer engaged by the group. This included

holding discussions with the external valuer.

- Working with our internal valuation specialists to assess the

external valuer’s approach, the appropriateness of the

valuation methodology and compliance with property

valuation standards.

- Challenging the group’s key assumptions (occupancy rates,

ADRs, projected direct costs, discount rates and terminal

capitalisation rates) included in the external valuations and

the group’s internal discounted cash flow models by:

• comparing to externally derived data from hotel

industry reports and other market data;

• assessing the relevance and reasonableness of the

discount rates, terminal capitalisation rate and price per

room with reference to rates used in the prior year

external valuations and recent market evidence

presented by the valuer;

• performing a sensitivity analysis over occupancy rates,

projected ADRs, discount rates and terminal

capitalisation rates to understand and identify the hotel

assets most sensitive to impairment and focus our

further procedures.

- Assessing the accuracy of the group’s and external valuer’s

previous forecasts to inform our evaluation of the forecasts








The key audit matter How the matter was addressed in our audit

incorporated into the valuation models. This included

comparing actual occupancy rates, ADRs and direct costs to

the assumptions projected over the forecast period and used

in the prior period valuations.

- Assessing the adequacy of the disclosures made in the

financial statements by using our understanding obtained

from our testing and against the requirements of the

accounting standards.

We did not identify material exceptions from procedures

performed, and the financial statement disclosure is

consistent with the requirements of the accounting standards.

Capitalisation and allocation of development costs

Refer to Note 10 to the Financial Report.

The group’s development property comprises

land and costs incurred to develop land into

subdivisions and individual properties for sale.

The development properties represent 33% of

total assets on the consolidated statement of

financial position.

The capitalisation and allocation of

development costs is a key audit matter as

determining whether to capitalise or expense

costs relating to development of the land is

subjective as it depends whether the costs

enhance the land or maintain the current value.

In addition, there is significant judgement in

determining whether obligations exist for future

costs and how to allocate capitalised

development costs to individual properties or

stages.

The key judgements used in this determination

are:

• Whether costs are eligible for

capitalisation under the relevant

accounting standards

• the allocation of capitalised costs to

the individual projects, stages and

land lots and the associated

recognition of cost of sales

• Whether a capitalised cost and the

associated

liability for future

obligations should be recorded under

the relevant accounting standard.

Our audit procedures included:

- Evaluating the group’s accounting policy for capitalisation of

development costs using the criteria in the accounting standard.

- Developing an understanding of the key controls over the cost

capitalisation and allocation process.

- Agreeing a sample of capitalised development costs to

supporting documentation. For each selected transaction we:

• Considered the nature of the costs capitalised and evaluated

whether they are eligible for capitalisation under the relevant

accounting standard.

• Assessed the appropriateness of allocation to the individual

project stages and land lots.

- Agreeing a sample of land acquisitions to sales and purchase

agreements, settlement document and cash payment.

- Performing analytical procedures in relation development

property costs of sales to assess that margins recognised

between periods were appropriate, including considering

alternative methods of allocation.

- Evaluating the reasonableness of the group’s judgement to

record liabilities for future obligations and that these have been

appropriately measured and recorded in accordance with the

applicable accounting standard.

- Assessing disclosures included in the consolidated financial

statements in respect of the development properties using our

understanding obtained from our testing and against the

requirements of the accounting standards.

Our testing did not identify any material exceptions related to

capitalised development costs, the allocation of those costs to

individual project stages and the recognition of future development

cost obligations.









Other information



The Directors, on behalf of the group, are responsible for the other information included in the entity’s Annual

Report and Annual Climate Statement (prepared in accordance with the Aotearoa New Zealand Climate

Standards). Other information in the Annual Report includes the Chairmans Review, Managing Director’s Review,

disclosures relating to Corporate Governance, Financial Summary, and the other information included in the Annual

report. The Annual Climate Statement discloses information about the effects of climate change on the entity’s

business. Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover any other information and we do

not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.


In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements our responsibility is to read the Annual Report

and Annual Climate Statement when they become available and consider whether the other information it contains

is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements, or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or

otherwise appear misstated. If based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material

misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have received the Chairman’s review

and have nothing to report in regard to it. The Annual Report and Annual Climate Statement are expected to be

made available to us after the date of this Independent Auditor's Report and we will report the matters identified, if

any, to those charged with governance.


Use of this independent auditor’s report


This independent auditor’s report is made solely to the shareholders as a body. Our audit work has been

undertaken so that we might state to the shareholders those matters we are required to state to them in the

independent auditor’s 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 shareholders as a body for our audit work, this independent

auditor’s report, or any of the opinions we have formed.


Responsibilities of the Directors for the consolidated

financial statements


The Directors, on behalf of the company, are responsible for:

— the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally

accepted accounting practice in New Zealand (being New Zealand Equivalents to International Financial

Reporting Standards) and International Financial Reporting Standards issued by the New Zealand

Accounting Standards Board;

— implementing necessary internal control to enable the preparation of a consolidated set of financial

statements that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; and

— assessing the ability to continue as a going concern. This includes disclosing, as applicable, matters related

to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless they either intend to liquidate or to

cease operations or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated
financial statements

Our objective is:

— to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material

misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; and

— to issue an independent auditor’s report that includes our opinion.

Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance

with ISAs NZ will always detect a material misstatement when it exists.

Misstatements can arise from fraud or error. They are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they

could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these

consolidated financial statements.

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of these consolidated financial statements is located at

the External Reporting Board (XRB) website at:

http://www.xrb.govt.nz/standards-for-assurance-practitioners/auditors-responsibilities/audit-report-1/

Climate impact is expected to affect the hospitality and accommodation sectors in a

variety of ways. Like all hotel owner / operators across the world, we are aware of the

importance of reviewing our operations to see how climate-positive improvements

can be incorporated in all aspects.

One example is that MCK's electricity supplier is Meridian Energy who state that all of

the electricity they generate comes from renewable sources such as wind power,

hydro and solar power.

MCK has had a basic sustainability policy in place for many years is moving to do more

and set tangible goals for emissions and carbon reduction over the next few years.

In 2023, MCK joined ToituEnvirocareto assist with its sustainability pathway and is

now a Toitucarbonreducecertified organisation in line with ISO 14064-1.
