FY23 AT A GLANCE

FY23 COMMERCIAL HIGHLIGHTS:

• Settled the acquisition of the Sofitel Brisbane Central Hotel

in December 2023;

• Copthorne Hotel Palmerston North hosted 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 refurbishment programme continued with 132

rooms completed at Millennium Hotel Queenstown and work

continuing on the remaining 70 rooms, plus commenced

refurbishment of 99 rooms in Millennium Hotel Rotorua;

• Commenced 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)

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 the hotel

network during the year.

• The results for CDL Investments New Zealand Limited (“CDI”),

MCK’s majority-owned subsidiary, reflected a softness in the

numbers.

(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).

FROM THE CHAIR AND

THE MANAGING DIRECTOR

DEAR SHAREHOLDER

We were delighted to report a return to profit for Millennium &

Copthorne Hotels New Zealand Limited (MCK) in FY23, in a year

of trading uninterrupted by the covid pandemic but still facing

marco-economic headwinds. We were particularly pleased that

we were able to increase the hotel segmental profit before tax

by 388.1% this year. That figure reflects a 17.5% year-on-year

overall increase in occupancy to 61.2% as a result of the hard

work of our team and the effort that has gone in to making

each room as profitable as possible.

Of the challenges we faced, the year commenced with a series

of severe weather storms which impacted the access to certain

hotels and disrupted a number of events and travel plans at

the start of a year where we were looking forward to operating

without Covid lockdown restrictions.

As the year progressed, cost of living increases became another

factor affecting our business with softening consumer demand

for domestic leisure travel partially offset by increased

international demand, and increased costs including wages,

food, fuel and other staples. We are doing what we can to limit

passing these increases to our customers however, some price

increases are unavoidable.

With the re-opening of international borders in June 2022, New

Zealand has seen an influx of international visitors recovering

to c.76% of the levels seen in 2019 and certain international

visitor arrivals hitting their pre- pandemic levels. On looking at

these numbers more deeply though it is important to note the

reasons behind the travel, with approximately 90% recovery of

travellers visiting family and friends. This gives rise to holiday,

business, conference and incentive visitors achieving a c.67%

recovery against 2019. While we are still short of the pre-Covid

level of tourists, we are making real progress on our Revive and

Strive strategy and anticipate growth for MCK over the medium

term.

We are now starting to look forward, to the transition from

the Revive phase of our strategy to Thrive. As part of this, our

team has been looking at how we can develop our existing and

new talent, and existing and new business opportunities both

within New Zealand and overseas. We were pleased to see that

our teams, both at our support office and across our hotels,

were highly motivated, full of good ideas and initiatives and

keen to drive MCK and our hotels forward. These wide-ranging

insights will form the basis of our strategy over the next two

years and will allow us to shift into Thrive mode by 2026 as

planned.

Our vision remains to be the preferred hotel choice for

travellers in our region, grow our footprint and deliver value

for our guests, our team and our shareholders. In the short

term, our focus remains on reviving our business for tourism

market momentum post-Covid. We are pleased to report to you

on our progress under our three pathways, Product, People and

Profit.

PRODUCT

Protect and expand our hotel presence in New Zealand &

Australia; Invest in a portfolio of real estate or development

projects and manage our investment in CDL Investments.

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.

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.

We have put a lot of attention and investment into lifting the

quality of our product in 2023 and it is already starting to

provide results, with positive guest feedback in response to the

updated look and feel of the Millennium Hotel Queenstown.

We expect similar positive responses from our guests when

the works at Millennium Hotel Rotorua are complete later this

year.

Copthorne Hotel Palmerston North hosted the Spanish

Women’s team who were the eventual winners of the Women’s

Football World Cup. The hotel is now being revitalised through

the recladding, reglazing and installation of air-conditioning.

Our new Director of Property Management Louise Borton

is developing a whole-of-network plan which will focus on

investment and improvement priorities for all of our current

hotels. The plan will form the basis of many of our medium

term investment decisions and will help us prioritise urgent

projects which will deliver the most optimal results.

We remain ambitious about potential acquisitions in New

Zealand should suitable opportunities arise. In the course of

the last year, MCK assessed a number of potential acquisitions

across the country to broaden our network and create new

opportunities to add value. On this front, we remain open

to opportunities to buy or manage hotels if they meet our

investment and operational criteria. With the sector in recovery

mode, interest from domestic and international investors in the

hospitality and accommodation sectors has picked up and we

do not want to miss out on opportunities which are accretive

and add points of difference to our well-established portfolio.

6 | MILLENNIUM & COPTHORNE HOTELS NEW ZEALAND LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2023
ESTABLISHING OUR AUSTRALIAN HOTEL PRESENCE

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.

Completing the purchase at the end of 2023 was a positive

way to end the year. There was a lot of intensive work done

from the announcement of the acquisition through to the

settlement between the New Zealand and Singaporean deal

teams which we would like to acknowledge. Acquiring a hotel

which has a very strong reputation in its local market and

which has unique strengths in the conference and incentives

sector was something we had been looking at for some time.

We are looking forward to seeing the synergies this hotel can

bring to our portfolio starting from this year.

SELLDOWN OF ZENITH RESIDENCY APARTMENTS IN

AUSTRALIA

We are continuing to sell down our Zenith Residency apartments

in Sydney with a total of five (2022: 5) apartments sold during

2023. At this stage, we still own and manage 31 apartments

being predominantly one bedroom units with some two – three

bedrooms units. However, we will continue to sell these down

and utilise the proceeds within our Australian operations.

SUSTAINABILITY

Climate impact is expected to affect the hospitality and

accommodation sectors in a variety of ways. Like all hotel

owners and 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 our electricity supply, which is provided by Meridian

Energy and generated from renewable sources such as wind

power, hydro and solar power.

We took steps to improve our commitments to sustainability by

joining Toitu Envirocare in 2023, achieving Toitu carbonreduce

certification in line with ISO 14064-1 early in 2024. We will

be looking to lift the bar again this year by looking at how our

business as a whole can become more sustainable and setting

tangible goals for emissions and carbon reduction over the

next few years. This annual report contains our first climate

related disclosure statement and sets out our strategy and

governance on these issues.

PEOPLE

Deliver memorable experiences for our guests; Build careers

that our people love to talk about.

Our year commenced with a shortage of staff in some key

locations and roles which restricted the quantity of rooms we

could reasonably sell and the services we could provide to our

guests. One of our key learnings has been how we recruit and

retain people. Following the appointment of our new Director

of Human Resources, Lisa Maclean, we have refreshed our

recruitment processes to attract and retain the best people

possible. We are continuing to work on ways to make MCK and

our hotels more attractive places to work.

Balancing the needs of our workforce and ensuring that we can

provide the best possible service and experience is a challenge

we face every day. We are very conscious of the need to grow,

develop and retain our workforce. In the course of 2024, we

will also be adjusting our focus to look at how our existing

workforce can thrive. This means seeing how we can retain,

train and develop our teams so that they continue to work

with us over the medium to long term and create their own

career paths with MCK. This is an important part of our People

Strategy and we are excited about how MCK and our hotels can

act as career-leading centres of excellence.

On behalf of the Board and management team, we would like

to thank everyone at our hotels and our support offices for

their tireless work during 2023. We are looking forward to

another productive and profitable year with all of you in 2024.

PROFIT

Drive improving revenue and profit; Leverage our strong

balance sheet to achieve growth; Deliver long term value to

our shareholders.

The work we have done over the past two years means that the

key elements to lifting our overall future profitability are now

in place. Our goal for this year is to ensure we are performing

at optimal levels.

As noted earlier, we were particularly pleased with the 388.1%

increase in the hotel segmental profit before tax. Overall, we

recorded an occupancy percentage of 61.2% (2022: 43.7%)

across all of our hotels and we also saw a healthy uplift in

average Revenue Per Available Room (RevPAR) 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.

This positive turnaround reflects not only the return to open

borders and uninterrupted trading, but also the sharp focus

on improving profitability across the hotel network during the

year.

MCK’s total revenue in 2023 was $145.7 million (2022: $144.2

million) and 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).

CDL INVESTMENTS NEW ZEALAND LIMITED (CDLI)

CDLI’s 2023 results reflected the weakness in the property

markets seen from the end of 2022 which carried over into

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,

which is due to be paid in May 2024.

DIVIDEND

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 and we expect to see

improvements from all of our business sectors, including CDLI,

as well as continued increases from our hotel operations.

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

commence in 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, visitor numbers are steadily improving and

with 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 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 have set ourselves new revenue and performance targets

for 2024 as the tourism recovery continues and with the

addition of our Brisbane acquisition, and our immediate target

is to deliver an uplift to our 2023 results.

We firmly 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.

We are looking forward to meeting shareholders at our Annual

Meeting on 28 May 2024, and reporting to you on a productive

and profitable year in due course.

On behalf of the Board and the MCK team, to our loyal

customers, thank you for your continued patronage throughout

the year just past. We appreciate it and look forward to seeing

you at one of our hotels in the very near future. We would also

like to thank our shareholders for your continued support.

BRISBANE DEVELOPMENT

In 2023, MCK and its parent company Millennium & Copthorne

Hotels Limited announced that, through a 50:50 joint venture,

they completed the acquisition of the Sofitel Brisbane Central

hotel in Australia from Brookfield Asset Management. The

purchase price was A$177.7 million (approximately NZ$190.8

million*), or A$427,000 (approximately NZ$458,625*) per

key. (*: NZD / AUD exchange rates used are 1 / 0.9314 as at 30

November 2023)

MCK Managing Director Stuart Harrison outlined what the

newly-acquired hotel would bring to MCK’s overall business.

“We have been able to monitor the hotel’s overall trading

performance this year which has included events such as FIFA

Women’s World Cup, a State of Origin rugby league game and

other international artist events which show how strong the

Brisbane and Queensland location is. We are encouraged by

its strong performance in 2023 especially in its key corporate

and leisure market segments where Central Brisbane Hotels

recorded September YTD Occupancy of ~73% and ADR of

~A$235”.

Mr. Harrison noted that Sofitel Brisbane Central has unique

strengths as an established fixture in the Brisbane /

Queensland market for meetings, conferences, and incentives

and the hotel would continue to be managed by the Accor

Group as a Sofitel hotel.

“Its key strengths in many areas made this acquisition very

attractive. We were particularly aware of its reputation in the

Australian Conference and Incentive (‘C&I’) Market. MCK also

has a long-established reputation as a leading player in the

New Zealand C&I markets so one of our immediate priorities

will be to determine what synergies we can create between

that hotel and our network to maximize revenue and client

demand for both”.

“Having the ability to host events at MCK-owned properties

in New Zealand and Australia will be beneficial for us in the

medium to long term”, he said.

JUL - DEC 2023

14,013 Meals Donated

Donations now available

in the


mall

On 1 July 2023 Millennium Hotels and Resorts New Zealand

entered a partnership with Save the Kiwi New Zealand to

create a unique opportunity for hotel guests to donate a

meal or a ‘room’ for a night to this leading conservation

charity dedicated to the preservation of New Zealand’s

national icon, kiwi.

Opting out of having your room serviced on a multi-night

stay helps the hotels conserve water and energy, the funds

from these resources can then be redirected towards Save

the Kiwi.

This innovative approach sees a guest simply reducing their

own room servicing needs and ensures a kiwi gets fed and a

safe environment to grow. Every time a guest chooses the

daily ‘no room servicing’ option on a multi-night stay by using

their Save the Kiwi door hanger at any Grand Millennium,

Millennium, Copthorne, Kingsgate or M Social hotels in New

Zealand, Millennium Hotel and Resorts will donate a meal for

a kiwi at Save the Kiwi’s kiwi crèche in Napier.

Credit risk

Management has a credit policy in pl ace and the exposur e to credit risk is moni tored on an ongoing basis. Credit eval uations ar e

In managin g interest rate ri sks the Group aims to reduce the impact of short-te rm fluctuations on the Group’s earni ngs with an ongoing

re view of its exposure to changes in interest rates on its borro wings, the matur ity pr ofile of th e debt, and the cash flows of the

underlying debt. The Group main tains its borrowi ngs at fixed rat es on short term whic h gives the Group flexibility in the context of the

1.Accounting estimates and judgements

Management discussed wi th the Audit Committ ee the devel opment, se lection and di sc lo sure of the Group’ s critical ac counting polic ie s

and estimates and the application of t hese policie s and estimat es.

C

ritical accounting judgements in applying the Group’s accounting policies

Certain critical a cc ounting judgements in applying the G roup’s accounting policies are d escribed below.

D

evelopment property

The Gro up is als o exposed to a ri sk of impairment to devel opment properties should the carrying value exceed the net reali sable

val ue due to mar ket fluctuations in the valu e of develo pment properties. However , there is no indic ation of impairment as the net

re al is able v alue of devel opment propert ies s ignificant ly exceed the carrying val ue d etermin ed by an independent r egistered val uer.

The val uer adopts the Sale s Comparison Appr oach to determine ra te s per hec

tare/ per square metre for blo ck land holdings in addition

to r ecent sec tion sale s t o der ive the gross real is ation values. The net realis able values are det er mined f rom gross reali sation values

af ter deducting appropriate sel li ng costs.

For re sidential land under development and is yet to commence development in the short term, the valuer adopts the Resid ual

Subdivision Appr oach. This approach c onsid ers the gr oss r eali sat ion val ues of the s ections le ss c osts as socia ted

w ith devel opment

including GST, sal es commi ssions, legal fees, civil and development costs inclu ding Council cont ribut ions, professional fees, and

contingency al lowances . In addition, holding cost s are deducted for the estimated timing of deve lopment and s ell down periods.

In both valuat ion approaches, the valuer make s as sumptions re lating to section prices, sell down periods, consumer confidence,

unemployment rates , int erest rates, and external economic factors. T

hese assumptions are sensitive to economic factors such as net

migration, Official Cash Rate set by t he Reserve Bank, in flat ion, residential market a ctivity, and business confidence.

I

nvestment property

The Group is also exposed to a ri sk of impairment to inves tment pr oper ties should the car rying valu e exc eed the recover able amount

due to mar ket flu ctuations in the value of investment properties. However , ther e is no indication of impairment as the recove rable

amount determined by an in dependent regi stered val uer significantly ex ceeds th e car ry ing val ue of investment properties. In

determini ng th e recover able amount, the valuer adopts the In com

e Capitalisation Approach whereby the assess ed market re nt for

each asset is capitalised in perpetuity fr om th e val uation date at an appropr iat e capitalisat ion rate. The adopted capitalisation ra te

re flects the natur e, location, and tenancy pr ofil e of the property together wi th current mar ket investment criteria as evidenced by

re cent sales. T he recover able amount is sensitiv e to movement s in the adopt ed ca pitalisation r at e and the mark et r ent.

P

roperty, plant, and equipment

The Group deter mines whether tangible fixed assets are impaired when indicator s of impairments exist or based on the annual

impairment assessment. The annual assessment requires an estimate of the re coverable value of the cash genera ting units to which

the tangible fixed assets ar e allocat ed, which is pr edominantly at the indiv idual hotel site level. An in ternal re view is performed which

re quires management to determine the recover able amount by estimatin

g futur e cash f lo ws t o be generated by the cash genera ting

units. External valuati ons ar e underta ken on the hot el assets on a triennial cycle. Estimat ion of the recoverabl e amount of th e hot el

assets is done with refere nce to fair value determined by the exter nal valuer, usin g the income approach and adjusted for costs to

sell, whi ch requires estimat ion of fut ur e cash flo ws of a thi rd-party ef ficie nt operator, the time per iod over whi ch th ey will occur,

an

appropri at e discount rates, terminal capital is ation ra tes and gr owth rat es. The Di rectors consid er that the as sumptions made

re present their best es timate, and that the di sc ount rate and terminal capital is ation rat e used ar e appr opriat e given the risks

associat ed with the specific cash flows.

2

2.Lease

At incept ion of a contract, the Group assesses whether a contract is, or contai ns , a le ase. A contrac t is, or contain s, a lease if the

contra ct conveys the right to cont rol the use of an identified as set for a period of time in exchange for consideration. To assess

whet her a c ont ract conveys the rig ht t o cont rol the use of a n identified asset, the Group u ses the d efinition o f a lease in NZ I FRS 16.

This polic y is applied to cont ra cts entered into, on o r after 1 January 20

19.

At commencement or on modification of a contract that contain s a lease component, the Group al locates the consideration in the

contra ct to each l ease component on t he basis of its r el at ive stand-alone prices.

The Group recognises a right-of-use asset and a lease liabilit y at the lease commencement dat e. The ri ght-o f-use asset was

re cognised at cost on initial recognition, which compri sed the init ial amount of the lease liability adj usted for any lease

payments

made at or before the commencement date, plus any init ial direct c osts i ncurred and an estimate of costs t o dismant le and remove

the underl yin g asset or t o restore the underlyin g ass et or t he site o n which it i s located, l ess any lease incentives r eceived.

The ri ght of use asset is depreciated using the str ai ght -l ine met hod fr om th e commencement date to the end of the lease term,

unless the lease transfers ownershi p of the under lying 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 ri ght -of -use asset will be depreciat ed over the

useful lif e of the underlying asset, which is determined on the same basis as those of property and equipment. In addi tion, the ri ght-

of -use asset is periodically re duced by impairment l osses, if any, and adj usted f or c ertain re -measurements of t he lease

liabi li ty.

The Group restat ed the comparativ e amounts (31 December 2022) in respect of th e undi scounted lease commitment as the pr ior

year was pre sented on a discounted basi s. Thi s has been corrected in the above note. The error has no impact over th e prof it or

loss, financial positi on, and c ashflow.

The lease liability is in itially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not pai d at the commencement date,

di scounted us

in g the int ere st ra te impl ic it in the lease or , if that ra te cannot be readily determined, the Gro up’s incremental borrowing

ra te. Genera lly, t he Gro up uses i ts i ncrement al b orrowin g ra te as t he discount r ate.

The Gro up determines its incremental borrowin g rate by obt ain ing int erest rates fro m various exter nal financing sour ces and makes

cer ta in adjustment s t o refl ect t he t erms of t he l ease and type of t he asset leased.

Lease p ayments i ncluded in the

measurement of t he lease liability c omprise t he fo llowing:

-fixed payment s, including in-s ubstance fixed p ayments;

-vari able lease payment s that depend on an index or a ra te, in itial ly measured using the index or rate as at the commencement

dat e;

-amounts e xpected to be payable under a resid ual v alu e guarant ee; and

-the exer cis e price under a purchase option that the Group is re asonably certain to exercise, le ase payments in an optional

r

enewal period if the Group is reasonably cer ta in to exer cise an extension optio n, and penaltie s for early termination of a lease

unle ss the Group is r easonably c ertain not t o t erminate earl y.

The le ase liability is measur ed at amortised cost using the effective int er est met hod. It is re measured when there is a change in

future lease payments aris ing from a change in an index or rate, if there is a change in the Group’s estimat e

of the amount expected

to be payable under a residual value guar ant ee, if the Gro up changes its assessment of whether it will exercise a purchase,

extensio n or t ermination opt io n o r if t her e is a revised in- substance fixed lease payment.

When the lease liability is remeasured in this way, a cor respondi ng adjustment is made to the carryin g amount of the right-o f-use

asset, o r is recorded in profit or l oss if the car ry ing amount of t he right -of-

use asset h as been reduced to zer o.

The Group presents right-o f-use assets that do not meet the def inition of in ves tment pro perty in ‘property, pla nt and equipment ’ and

lease liabilit ies i n t he Statement of F in ancial P osition.

S

hort-term leases and leases of low-value assets

The Group has elected not to recognise right-of-use assets and lease liabi lit ies for leases of low-value assets and short- ter m leases,

including IT equipment. The Gro up recogni ses th e le ase payments associat ed with these leases as an expense on a strai ght -line

basis over t he l ease term.

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

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

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

FIN 31 | MILLENNIUM & COPTHORNE HOTELS NEW ZEALAND LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2023







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.

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.

MILLENNIUM & COPTHORNE HOTELS NEW ZEALAND LIMITED

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT (MARCH 2024)

This Corporate Governance Statement

summarises the approach of Millennium

& Copthorne Hotels New Zealand Limited

(“MCK”) to applying the principles and

recommendations outlined in the NZX

Corporate Governance Code dated 1

April 2023 (the “NZX Code”), including

where our practice differs from the

recommendations under the Code. This

Corporate Governance Statement reports

on MCK’s corporate governance matters in

respect of the period ending 31 December

2023, and was approved by the Board on

14 March 2024. Notwithstanding that we

have a 31 December 2023 balance date,

we have chosen to report against the 1

April 2023 version of the NZX Code, rather

than the 17 June 2022 version of the NZX

Code.

Towards the end of the 2023 financial

year and into the 2024 financial year, we

undertook a review of our key corporate

governance documentation (including

committee charters and key policies and

procedures) (the Corporate Governance

Review). Following the completion of the

Corporate Governance Review, in February

and March 2024 the Board resolved to

approve and adopt updated versions of the

relevant documentation.

The Company’s constitution, the Board

and committee charters, any of the other

charters or other governance documents

referred to in this statement are available

to view on our website at https://

mckhotels.co.nz/investors/.

PRINCIPLE 1 – ETHICAL STANDARDS

Directors should set high standards of

ethical behaviour, model this behaviour

and hold management accountable

for these standards being followed

throughout the organisation.

Following completion of the Corporate

Governance Review, in February 2024 the

Board adopted an updated version of the

Code of Ethics that applies to directors

and employees of MCK. The Code of Ethics

outlines internal reporting procedures for

any breach of ethics, and describes MCK’s

expectations about behaviour. A copy

of the Code of Ethics is available on the

Company’s website.

The updated Code of Ethics has been

communicated to all directors and

employees of the Company. MCK regularly

conducts training on compliance with

ethical standards with its directors and

employees.

In addition to the Code of Ethics, MCK has

a Code of Conduct which applies to all of

MCK’s employees. All of MCK’s employees

are expected to act in the best interests

of MCK and to enhance the reputation

of the company. MCK also has a number

of operational policies which must be

followed by employees and the MCK Code

of Conduct forms part of each employee’s

employment agreement.

During the 2023 financial year MCK did not

comply with recommendation 1.1 of the

NZX Code in respect of the requirement

for the Code of Ethics to apply to all

employees. Instead, the Code of Conduct

applied to all of MCK’s employees. While

the Code of Conduct addressed a number

of the factors set out in recommendation

1.1 of the NZX Code, it did not address

all of the relevant factors. No alternative

governance practice was adopted in lieu

of the recommendation during the period.

As noted above, following the Corporate

Governance Review MCK’s Code of Ethics

now applies to all of MCK’s employees.

MCK also believes in fair dealing with its

customers and suppliers, shareholders,

employees and other stakeholders and

external third parties.

All Directors have access to the

Company Secretary at any time as well

as independent legal, financial or other

professional advice at the expense of the

company as may be required.

MCK has a Whistleblowing Policy

which extends to all management and

employees. The Whistleblowing Policy

facilitates the disclosure and impartial

investigation of any serious wrongdoing.

This policy advises employees of their

right to disclose serious wrongdoing,

and sets out the Company’s internal

procedures for receiving and dealing with

such disclosures. The policy is consistent

with, and facilitates, the Protected

Disclosures Act 2000 and is supported by

the Board.

MCK has a financial product trading

policy which applies to all employees and

directors. Our financial product trading

policy was updated in March 2024 as part

of the Corporate Governance Review. Our

share trading policy is available on the

Company’s website.

PRINCIPLE 2 – BOARD COMPOSITION AND

PERFORMANCE

To ensure an effective Board, there should

be a balance of independence, skills,

knowledge, experience and perspectives.

Background

MCK’s Board has responsibility, control

and oversight of the business activities,

strategic direction and the governance

of MCK and its subsidiary companies. It

looks at how the company is operating,

how risk and compliance are managed,

approving financial and other reports

and capital expenditure and reporting to

MCK’s shareholders. The Board approves

MCK’s budgets and business plans as well

as significant projects and has statutory

obligations for other matters such as

the payments of dividends and the issue

of shares. The Board is accountable to

MCK’s shareholders for the company’s

performance.

The Board adopted a written charter

in March 2024 as part of the Corporate

Governance Review. The Board Charter

sets out the roles and responsibilities of

the Board. The Board Charter is available

in the Policies and Charters section of

the Company’s website. During the 2023

financial year MCK did not comply with

the requirement under recommendation

2.1 of the NZX Code to have a written

board charter. MCK did not follow this

recommendation because MCK had

previously considered this requirement to

have been satisfied by the relevant section

of the Corporate Governance Statement

itself and the roles and responsibilities of

the Board set out in the Constitution. Given

this, no alternative governance practice

was adopted in lieu of the recommendation

during the period.

Certain powers are delegated to Board

Committees and Subcommittees. The role of

the Committees is detailed under Principle

3.

Day-to-day management is delegated to the

Managing Director and senior management.

The levels of authority are approved by way

of a Delegated Authorities Manual, which

is reviewed by the Audit Committee and

ultimately approved by the Board.

Nomination process

Appointments to the Board are generally

considered by the Board as a whole, and

the Board takes into account the skills

required to allow it to carry out its functions

and governance role. If necessary, a Board

subcommittee will be formed to assess

nominees.

MILLENNIUM & COPTHORNE HOTELS NEW ZEALAND LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2023 | CG 2
As part of the appointment process, checks

are completed which include the nominee’s

business experience, qualifications and

good character. If appointed, a director

will receive a letter formalising their

appointment. The letter confirms the key

terms and conditions of appointment and is

signed by both the Chair and the director.

Assess director, board and committee

performance

The Board’s procedure for regularly

assessing director, board and committee

performance is set out in the Board Charter,

which was adopted in March 2024 as part

of the Corporate Governance Review.

During the 2023 financial year MCK did

not comply with the requirement under

recommendation 2.7 of the NZX Code to

have a formal procedure for assessing

such performance. MCK did not follow this

recommendation because the procedure

was previously conducted on an informal

basis. Given this, no alternative governance

practice was adopted in lieu of the

recommendation during the period.

Board composition

MCK’s Constitution specifies a minimum

number of three directors and a maximum

number of nine directors at any one time.

Two directors must ordinarily be living in

New Zealand. In line with the NZX Main

Board Listing Rules, MCK is required to have

at least two Independent Directors.

Independence determinations

Currently, MCK has determined that its

Chair Colin Sim, Graham McKenzie and

Leslie Preston are Independent Directors

for the purposes of the NZX Listing Rules.

Messrs Hangchi, Harrison, and Kwek are not

considered by the Board to be Independent

Directors. This means that MCK does not

currently comply with, and did not during

the 2023 financial year comply with,

recommendation 2.8 of the Code. That

recommendation requires a majority of the

Board to be Independent Directors for the

purposes of the NZX Listing Rules. MCK did

not follow this recommendation because its

largest shareholder holds more than 50% of

the shares in the Company and believes that

it is reasonable for Independent Directors

to not comprise a majority of the directors

in those circumstances. The Company notes

that non-Independent Directors equally

do not comprise a majority of the directors

(only 50%), only two of the three non-

Independent Directors are associated with

the Company’s major shareholder, the Chair

is an Independent Director and the Chair

has a casting vote. Given these matters,

no alternative governance practice was

adopted in lieu of the recommendation

during the period.

MCK’s Chair is an Independent Director and

is not the Managing Director.

When assessing independence, the Board

holistically considers the interests and

relationships of a director that could affect

the determination, including having regard

to (but not limited to) the factors set out in

Table 2.4 of the NZX Code.

The Board considers Graham McKenzie to be

an Independent Director for the purposes

of the NZX Listing Rules despite him being

a director of MCK for more than 12 years.

Mr McKenzie was first appointed to the

MCK Board in 2006. The Board believes that

the length of time Mr McKenzie has been a

director of MCK has not impacted his ability

to act objectively or adequately monitor

management. Mr McKenzie is due to retire

by rotation at MCK’s 2025 annual meeting of

shareholders and has said that he will not be

seeking re-election at that meeting.

Board meetings

Board meetings are generally held quarterly,

with additional meetings convened when

required. The table below details directors’

attendances during 2023.

Training

The Board encourages all directors to

undertake their own continuous education

so that they can perform their duties as

directors and provide maximum benefit to

the Board and to shareholders. Following

adoption of the Board Charter in February

2024 as part of the Corporate Governance

Review, MCK will provide specific training to

directors as required.

Diversity and Inclusion Policy

In 2018, MCK also adopted a Diversity and

Inclusion Policy. The key elements of MCK’s

Diversity and Inclusion Policy are to maintain

a culture of ownership and trust, ensuring

that our leaders are good role models for

others and demonstrate behaviours and

actions that match our values and adhere to

them throughout our business.

The Board is satisfied that MCK’s current

practices are in line with the Diversity

and Inclusion Policy. During 2023, work

has continued on increasing awareness

about diversity within the organisation

and improving our talent recruitment and

selection process.

We are also looking to review and refresh

our training around diversity issues in the

workplace. Updating our Diversity and

Inclusion Policy is a priority for 2024. As

measurable metrics for furthering diversity

and inclusion are established, performance

against these agreed metrics will be

referenced in subsequent annual reports.

Based on the above, the Board’s assessment

is that MCK has complied with its Diversity

and Inclusion Policy for 2023.

PRINCIPLE 3 – BOARD COMMITTEES

The Board should use committees where this

will enhance its effectiveness in key areas

while still retaining board responsibility.


Committees help the Board in carrying

out its responsibilities and MCK currently

has two standing committees, being the

Audit Committee and the Remuneration

Committee.

MCK does not currently have a Nominations

Committee because nominations and

appointments are generally considered

by the Board as a whole. The process

for appointing directors is set out under

Principle 2.

The Board also forms other subcommittees

as and when required to address specific

issues that arise.

Audit Committee

The Audit Committee is comprised with a

majority of Independent Directors and has

an Independent Director (who is not the

CG 3 | MILLENNIUM & COPTHORNE HOTELS NEW ZEALAND LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2023
Holdings New Zealand Limited was to

approach the Company in relation to a

control transaction it should have sufficient

time in which to organise its response.

Given this, no alternative governance

practice was therefore adopted in lieu of the

recommendation during the period.

PRINCIPLE 4 – REPORTING & DISCLOSURE

The Board should demand integrity in

financial and non-financial reporting and

in the timeliness and balance of corporate

disclosures.

Continuous Disclosure Policy

As an NZX-listed entity, MCK recognises the

need to ensure that it is fully compliant with

its reporting and disclosure obligations and

has in place a Continuous Disclosure Policy

(CDP) which applies to MCK, its subsidiaries

(“Group”), and all their respective directors

and employees.

The Board has appointed the Board Chair,

the Chair of the Audit Committee, the

Managing Director, the Company Secretary

and the Vice President Finance to act as

MCK’s Continuous Disclosure Committee

(the Disclosure Committee). A quorum of the

Disclosure Committee shall consist of no less

than three (3) of these persons.

The Disclosure Committee is responsible for:

• determining what information

amounts to material information and

must be disclosed;

• determining the timing of disclosure of

any information in accordance with the

CDP;

• approving the content of any

disclosure to NZX (including matters

not directly covered by the CDP);

• ensuring that all employees and

directors within the Group whom the

Committee considers appropriate

receive a copy of the CDP and

appropriate training with respect to it;

• developing mechanisms designed to

identify potential material information

(e.g., agenda item on management

meetings); and

• iaising with legal advisers in respect of

MCK’s compliance with its continuous

disclosure obligations.

The CDP was updated as part of the

Corporate Governance Review and is

available in the Policies and Charters section

of the Company’s website.

Key governance documents on website

As mentioned at the start of this Corporate

Governance Statement, the Company’s key

governance documents are available on the

Company’s website.

Committee are Leslie Preston, Graham

McKenzie and Eik Sheng Kwek. During

the 2023 financial year, the members

of the Remuneration Committee were

Messrs. McKenzie and Kwek. Mr McKenzie

is an Independent Director but Mr Kwek

is not. This means that MCK did not

during the 2023 financial year comply

with, recommendation 3.3 of the NZX

Code in relation to at least a majority of

the Remuneration Committee members

being Independent Directors. MCK did not

follow this recommendation because it

had previously considered the right size

of the Remuneration Committee to be

two directors and none of the members

were executive directors. No alternative

governance practice was adopted in lieu of

the recommendation during the period.

The Remuneration Committee operates

under a written charter. The Remuneration

Committee Charter is available in the

Policies and Charters section of the

Company’s website.

The Remuneration Committee did not meet

in 2023.

Employees attend meetings of the

Remuneration Committee only at the

invitation of the Committee.

Due diligence committee

In connection with the proposed acquisition

of a 50% interest by the Company in the

Sofitel Hotel in Brisbane, the Board formed

a sub-committee comprising Leslie Preston

and Graham McKenzie to oversee the

Company’s due diligence. The Due Diligence

Committee met 11 times during the 2023

financial year in connection with that

transaction.

The table below reports attendance of the

Audit Committee members during 2023:

Takeover protocols

In February 2024 as part of the Corporate

Governance Review, the Board adopted

written protocols that set out the procedure

to be followed if there is a takeover offer

for the Company (the Takeover Protocols).

During the 2023 financial year MCK did

not have established Takeover Protocols

and therefore did not comply with

recommendation 3.6 of the NZX Code. MCK

did not follow this recommendation because

the Board had previously considered receipt

of a takeover offer to be an unlikely event

given CDL Hotels Holdings New Zealand

Limited’s long-term majority shareholding

in the Company and that if CDL Hotels

Board Chair) as Chair. The current members

of the Audit Committee are Leslie Preston

(Chair), Graham McKenzie and Stuart

Harrison.

The Audit Committee operates under a

written charter. The Audit Committee

Charter is available in the Policies and

Charters section of the Company’s website.

The table below reports attendance of the

Audit Committee members during 2023:

DirectorMeetings attended in

2023

Leslie Preston4/4

Graham McKenzie4/4

Stuart Harrison4/4

As Stuart Harrison is MCK’s Managing

Director, MCK does not comply with (and

did not during the 2023 financial year

comply with) the requirement under

recommendation 3.1 of the NZX Code. That

recommendation states that the Audit

Committee should comprise solely of non-

executive directors. MCK did not follow

this recommendation because it believes

that it is preferable to have an executive

director on the Audit Committee as this

provides a direct insight into Management’s

perspective rather than a director who is

associated with the majority shareholder

or the Chair of the Board (being the only

options available to MCK given the current

Board size and composition). Given this,

no alternative governance practice was

adopted in lieu of the recommendation

during the period.

Employees (other than the Managing

Director) attend meetings of the Audit

Committee at the invitation of the

Committee only.

Remuneration Committee

The objectives of the Remuneration

Committee are to help the Board establish

coherent remuneration policies and

practices which:

• enable the Company to attract, retain

and motivate key management

personnel and Directors (executive and

non-executive) who will create value

for shareholders;

• fairly and reasonably reward senior

management of the Company

(including executive Directors) having

regard to the performance of the

Company, the performance of senior

management and the general pay

environment; and

• comply with the provisions of any

relevant legislation, the NZX Listing

Rules and any other statutory or

regulatory requirements.

The current members of the Remuneration

MILLENNIUM & COPTHORNE HOTELS NEW ZEALAND LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2023 | CG 4
PRINCIPLE 5 – REMUNERATION

The remuneration of directors and executives

should be transparent, fair and reasonable.

Director remuneration

The total pool for Directors’ Fees is capped

at $200,000 and was last approved by

shareholders in 1996. The level of fees was

last reviewed by the Board as a whole in

2019.

Non-executive directors are each entitled

to receive a base fee of NZ$38,000 per

annum. The Board Chair is entitled to

receive an annual fee of NZ $42,000 per

annum. The Chair of the Audit Committee

receives a further NZ$9,000 per annum and

member(s) of the Audit Committee each

receive an additional NZ$7,000 per annum.

Executive Directors do not receive Directors’

or Committee fees. No retirement benefits

are paid to Directors. Reasonable travel

and other costs associated with company

business are reimbursable or met by MCK.

Details of the actual director remuneration

for the 2023 financial year is set out in

Regulatory Disclosures of our 2023 Annual

Report.

The Board adopted a director remuneration

policy in March 2024 as part of the

Corporate Governance Review. The

director remuneration policy is available

in the Policies and Charters section of

the Company’s website. During the 2023

financial year MCK did not comply with the

requirement under recommendation 5.1

of the NZX Code to have a written director

remuneration policy. MCK did not follow this

recommendation because this had been dealt

with on an informal basis given the length of

time since the fee pool had been increased.

Given this, no alternative governance practice

was adopted in lieu of the recommendation

during the period.

Employee remuneration

Employee remuneration (including that

of the Managing Director and senior

management) is made up of two primary

components being a fixed component and a

short term incentive. The fixed component

comprises a base salary and other benefits

such as Kiwisaver, a contribution to health

insurance and, in some cases, use of a

company vehicle. The fixed component

is determined with reference to market

information as well as the responsibilities

of the position, experience and overall

performance.

Short term incentives are designed to reward

high performing employees with appropriate

incentives which are measured on key

performance indicators which are reviewed

and monitored regularly and based solely

on company performance. These include

meeting budget or revenue targets. The

Company reserves the right to suspend or

adjust incentives if targets are not met.

MCK does not currently have an employee

share plan or a long term incentive scheme.

All employees participate in performance

and development reviews, with end-of-

year review outcomes informing decisions

regarding remuneration adjustments in

accordance with company policy.

All employees are eligible for a range

of benefits including discounted

accommodation at MCK’s hotels in New

Zealand and Millennium & Copthorne Hotels

around the world (subject to availability).

The Board adopted an executive

remuneration policy in March 2024 as part

of the Corporate Governance Review. The

executive remuneration policy is available

in the Policies and Charters section of

the Company’s website. During the 2023

financial year MCK did not comply with the

requirement under recommendation 5.2 of

the NZX Code to have a written executive

remuneration policy. MCK did not follow

this recommendation because executive

remuneration had been dealt with on a case-

by-case basis with the relevant executive.

Given this, no alternative governance practice

was adopted in lieu of the recommendation

during the period.

PRINCIPLE 6 – RISK MANAGEMENT

Directors should have a sound understanding

of the material risks faced by the issuer

and how to manage them. The Board

should regularly verify that the issuer has

appropriate processes that identify and

manage potential and material risks.


While risks are a part of doing business, it

does need to be monitored and addressed.

MCK’s Board, Audit Committee and

Management Team all have a role in

identifying areas of risk and understanding

their impact on the Company as well as how

these areas are to be managed and mitigated

in accordance with MCK’s risk management

framework. MCK is looking at revising its risk

management framework in the course of

2024.

MCK’s Management Team is responsible for

the day-to-day identification, assessment

and management of risks applicable to the

Company as well as the implementation of

appropriate controls, processes and policies

to manage such risks. Management also

ensures that there are training programmes

in place to identify, manage, mitigate or

eliminate hazards and risks in the workplace.

The Audit Committee’s role is to review

and report to the Board on the adequacy

of Management’s oversight and

implementation of risks with particular

regard to financial and operational risks.

The Board is ultimately responsible for

the oversight and implementation of the

Company’s responses to risk management.

Descriptions of the material risks facing

MCK’s business are set out at pages CG 7 and

CG 8 of the 2023 Annual Report.

MCK has a detailed health and safety risk

and reporting framework which applies

to its hotels and support office locations.

The framework comprises policies which

detail such matters as hazard identification

and mitigation, accident reporting

procedures and general safety measures

in the workplace. Contractor induction

documentation also forms part of the

framework. The policies comprising the

framework are reviewed regularly and

training on the policies and health & safety

issues is provided to employees. Health &

Safety Committees are convened at each

hotel and support office location and meet

regularly. Each hotel and support office has

a Health & Safety Co-ordinator. Information

on incidents, accidents and trends is provided

to the senior management team and to the

Board. The information is used to monitor

any significant trends and variations, to

identify any particular areas where there

is higher risk and to allocate training and

other resources to those areas where new

or higher risks are present. MCK considers

that it manages health and safety risks to an

acceptable standard and in compliance with

its legal obligations.

CG 5 | MILLENNIUM & COPTHORNE HOTELS NEW ZEALAND LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2023
MCK has a series of internal controls in place

covering such areas as financial monitoring

and reporting, human resources and risk

management. The primary responsibility for

monitoring and reporting against internal

controls and remedying any deficiencies lies

with Management.

MCK also keeps current insurances

appropriate to its business including

directors and officers liability policies and

public liability policies with reputable global

insurers.

PRINCIPLE 7 – AUDITORS

The Board should ensure the quality and

independence of the external audit process.

External Audit plays a critical role in

ensuring the integrity of financial reporting.

The role of the external auditor is to plan

and carry out an audit of MCK’s annual

financial reports and review the half-yearly

reports. The Audit Committee reviews the

performance and independence of the

external auditors.

MCK has in place an External Auditor

Independence Policy which deals with

the provision of services by the MCK’s

external auditors, auditor rotation and the

relationships between the external auditor

and the Company. The policy states that:

The Audit Committee shall only recommend

to the Board a firm to be external auditor if

that firm:

• would be regarded by a reasonable

investor, with full knowledge of all

relevant facts and circumstances,

as capable of exercising objective

and impartial judgment on all issues

encompassed within the auditor’s

engagement;

• audit partners are members of

Chartered Accountants Australia New

Zealand (CAANZ);

• has not, within two years prior to the

commencement of the audit, had as

a member of its audit engagement

team MCK’s Managing Director, Vice

President Finance, Group Accounting

Manager, or any member of the

Company’s Management who acts in a

financial oversight role; and

• does not allow the direct

compensation of its audit partners for

selling non-audit services to MCK.

The general principles to be applied in

assessing non-audit services are as follows:

a) the external auditor should not have

any involvement in the production of

financial information or preparation

of financial statements such that they

might be perceived as auditing their

own work. This includes the provision

of bookkeeping and payroll services as

well as valuation services where such

valuation forms an input into audited

financial information;

b) the external auditor should not

perform any function of management,

or be responsible for making

management decisions;

c) the external auditor should not

be responsible for the design

or implementation of financial

information systems; and

d) the separation between internal audit

(or equivalent processes) and external

audit should be maintained.

MCK’s Audit Committee shall pre-approve

all audit and related services that are to be

provided by the auditor. Aside from core

external audit services, it is appropriate for

the MCK’s auditors to provide the following

services:

• due diligence (except valuations) on

proposed transactions;

• review of financial information where

third party verification is required or

deemed necessary (outside the normal

audit process);

• completion audits / reviews;

• financial model preparation or review;

• accounting policy advice;

• listing advice;

• accounting/technical training; and

• taxation services of an assurance

nature.

It is not considered appropriate for MCK’s

external auditors to provide:

• book keeping services related to

accounting records or financial

statements;

• tax planning and strategy services

unless specifically approved by the

Audit Committee;

• appraisal / valuation services including

opinions as to fairness;

• provision of payroll services;

• the design or implementation of

financial information systems;

• outsourced internal audit and risk

management services;

• legal services;

• management functions;

• broker / dealer / investment adviser /

investment banking services;

• advocacy for the Company;

• actuarial services; and

• assistance in the recruitment of senior

management.

These prohibitions apply to all offices of the

audit firm, including overseas offices and

affiliates.

The billing arrangements for services

provided by MCK’s external auditors should

not include any contingent fees.

MCK’s expects that its external auditors

will rigorously comply with their own

internal policies on independence and all

relevant professional guidance, including

independence rules and guidance issued by

CAANZ.

The nature of services provided by MCK’s

auditors and the level of fees incurred

should be reported to the Audit Committee

Chair semi-annually (or sooner where

requested) to enable the Committee to

perform its oversight role and report back

to the Board. MCK adopted a non-audit

services policy in 2024 and this is available

on the Company’s website.

The continued appointment of MCK’s

external auditors is confirmed annually by

the Board on recommendation from the

Audit Committee.

Rotation of the lead audit partner or firm

will be required every five years. Lead audit

partners who are rotated will be subject to

a 2 year cooling off period (i.e. 2 years must

expire between the rotation of an audit

partner and that partner’s next engagement

with the Company).

The hiring by MCK of any former lead

audit partner or audit manager must first

be approved by the Chair of the Audit

Committee. There are no other restrictions

on the hiring of other staff from the audit

firm.

KPMG are currently MCK’s external auditor

and the lead external audit engagement

partner was rotated in 2023. The current

audit partner is Geoff Lewis.

The Audit Committee monitors local and

overseas practice on auditor independence

regularly to ensure that this policy remains

consistent with best practice and meets

MCK’s requirements.

MCK’s external auditors also attend the

Company’s Annual Meeting to answer any

questions from shareholders as to the audit

and the content of the Annual Report.

Internal Audit

MCK does not currently have an internal

audit function but does maintain a detailed

set of processes and procedures covering its

operations and financial controls which are

reviewed and updated regularly.

PRINCIPLE 8 – SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS &

COMMUNICATION

The Board should respect the rights of

shareholders and foster constructive

relationships with shareholders that

encourage them to engage with the issuer.


MCK is committed to providing shareholders

and stakeholders with timely information

on its activities and performance. MCK does

this through a number of channels including:

• announcements in accordance with

continuous disclosure as required

under the Listing Rules;

• publication of the company’s annual

and interim reports which are sent to

all shareholders; and

MILLENNIUM & COPTHORNE HOTELS NEW ZEALAND LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2023 | CG 6
• encouraging shareholders to attend

the Annual Meeting in May of each

year (either in person or online) to hear

the Chair and the Managing Director

provide updates on the company’s

performance, ask questions of the

Board and vote on the resolutions

to be determined at the meeting.

Resolutions at shareholder meetings

are usually determined by poll where

each ordinary shareholder has one vote

per share.

Relevant communications, copies of annual

reports and key corporate governance

documents and policies are now available

on a dedicated webpage http://mckhotels.

co.nz/investors/

Shareholders have the option to receive

communications from the issuer

electronically.

Shareholders also receive a discount card

for use at MCK’s hotels within New Zealand

which provides them with a discount off the

Best Available Rate (subject to availability).

The Company did not put the notice of

meeting for its 2023 Annual Shareholders

Meeting on its website at least 20 working

days prior to the meeting as required by

recommendation 8.5 of the NZX Code, but

the notice of meeting was despatched to

shareholders, and announced to NZX, at

least 20 working days prior to the meeting.

Given these matters, no alternative

governance practice was adopted in lieu

of the recommendation during the period.

MCK intends that all future notices of annual

or special meetings of MCK shareholders will

be posted on its website as soon as possible

and at least 20 working days prior to the

relevant meeting.

CG 7 | MILLENNIUM & COPTHORNE HOTELS NEW ZEALAND LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2023
OUTLINE OF MATERIAL

RISKS:

Risk AreaHow MCK addresses this risk

Markets and Competition

Although MCK is located in and operates within New Zealand which is a small market, it is

nonetheless exposed to various levels of event risks in global economies, as well as in financial

and property markets. The Group’s principal business operations, comprising property

development, property investment and hotel operations, face significant competition

across the markets within which they operate. A failure to meet the market or remain

competitive could affect MCK’s operational and financial position as it loses market share

to its competitors, thus affecting its revenues and potentially its ability to make necessary

investments in its business for the future.

In order to mitigate global risks, we constantly monitor market trends and developments and

develop strategies to respond to the changing conditions. We conduct customer surveys and

obtain other guest feedback to ensure that our service delivery and physical products remains

attractive and competitive in the marketplace and make changes where the feedback warrants

it. We aim to diversify our exposure to international and domestic markets by targeted marketing

and revenue management and invest in our properties and service delivery to ensure that the

customer experience is a positive one.

Climate Change

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

of ways. It is imperative to review both their operations and development to see how climate-

positive improvements can be incorporated in all aspects. Our locations are likely to be

affected by climate change and sea level rise. Recent weather incidents have also affected our

operations with impacts to the properties themselves as well as access to and from our hotels.

While MCK has monitored its environmental impact in a number of ways over many years, with the

mandatory climate-related financial disclosures regime now in place it is looking to evolve and

improve its responses to these risks. Having set 2023 as its baseline year for reporting purposes

and having appointed Toitu Envirocare to assist with the analysis of emissions and other carbon

data, MCK is looking to set targets for carbon reduction using a science-based target in the near

future. MCK will also look for opportunities to include more environmentally friendly technologies

within its hotels.

As part of its reporting processes, MCK is using the Task Force on Climate-related Financial

Disclosures (TCFD) recommendations to outline its responses. Future work will include monitoring

of MCK’s supply chain and increase its ESG communications to shareholders and stakeholders.

For more information, please refer to MCK’s Climate-Related Disclosures.

Brand and Reputation

MCK’s brand and reputation are highly valuable assets and the industry it is in is people-

focused. Adverse events which affect MCK’s brand and reputation can also affect MCK’s

revenues as customers and guests choose other companies with which to do business.

We monitor our reputation and brand in the market by checking traditional and social media

platforms, responding to and managing any complaints which may be received and seek to raise

the profile of our brands through marketing campaigns and strategic partnerships. We aim to

avoid any situations that could result in a negative impact on our reputation and brand. We

engage in dialogue with our stakeholders and customers in an open and transparent way.

Liquidity / Solvency

Financial risks could affect MCK in many ways, both due to external and internal causes. For

example, they could arise from a lower level of visitors to New Zealand and to MCK’s hotels,

external events over which MCK has little or no control over or other factors.

MCK’s ability to trade depends on its ability to manage its financial situation optimally to

ensure that it has sufficient liquidity and solvency to maintain its business.

MCK manages its financial and solvency risks by continuously monitoring its financial performance

and cashflow and ensures that it maintains sufficient financial resources to carry out its

operations and any projects that are undertaken. MCK has in place bank funding arrangements

with global banking institutions and carefully monitors compliance with its lending covenants.

MCK also takes a conservative approach to its capital management and taxation planning.

MILLENNIUM & COPTHORNE HOTELS NEW ZEALAND LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2023 | CG 8
Workforce

As a customer-focused hospitality business, MCK faces significant risk if it is unable to employ

a sufficient number of people to maintain its workforce. An inability to retain talented staff

would result in a loss of historic / collective knowledge and would also be disruptive. The risk

of industrial action would also result in disruption to MCK’s operations. All of these factors

have an impact on MCK’s corporate reputation.

MCK’s Human Resources team has a presence around New Zealand in key operational locations

and supports MCK’s hotels and support offices by providing advice, training and policies to the

business.

Future initiatives in the pipeline include employee engagement surveys to obtain more detailed

feedback and address employee concerns to make MCK a better workplace and a revamp of

its recruitment policies to ensure that MCK is able to attract and retain suitably qualified and

experienced staff across its operations. In 2023, a leadership development programme was

started for the senior leadership team to foster talent with the aim to extend the programme to

hotel General Managers and their reports.

Remuneration is benchmarked and reviewed to ensure that it is competitive.

Health and Safety

Ensuring the health and safety of our employees and customers is essential for our business to

succeed. The nature of our business means that there are numerous risks across our business

which might result in harm to an employee or guest.

We have a comprehensive set of health and safety policies and risk registers in place that identify

and categorise risks in the workplace. We monitor health and safety incidents and results at each

workplace and provide health and safety training to keep our people safe at work. We also have

an employee assistance programme through EAP Services Limited to help with employee’s mental

health and counselling where required.

Business Disruption

A local or global event which affects the movement of people (both employees and guests) has

the potential to be highly disruptive to our business. The impact of such an event, sustained or

not, could affect on our operations, revenue and cashflow and our reputation.

MCK has a range of policies across its business which would be used to respond to an emergency

situation or natural disaster. Training of staff to respond to incidents is also conducted

periodically.

MCK also has insurance cover for its buildings and for business interruption.

Project Management

Risks arise in some of the following ways: schedule delay, cost overrun, building defects,

contractor’s performance, as well as contract disputes, that could impact our operations and

sales.

MCK manages this risk by ensuring that there is sufficient oversight and review of all projects. This

can take the form of oversight by its Property Management team or engaging external assistance

where necessary. Together with external consultants such as engineers and quantity surveyors,

MCK imposes an assessment and monitoring process to identify and manage the key risks for each

project. Stringent evaluation and tendering procedures apply to all projects to ensure that the

best-qualified vendors are appointed. Regular site visits are also conducted to closely monitor the

progress of projects and manage potential risks of delays, defects and cost overruns.

Technology

Technology is a critical element to ensuring that MCK is able to operate its business effectively.

The risks to MCK include compromise of those business-critical systems, cybersecurity

incidents, maintaining data it holds securely, ensuring that its systems remain fit for purposes

and adapt to business and customer needs.

To mitigate these and other risks, MCK invests in its hardware and software platforms across its

network and has a dedicated Information Technology team which supports MCK’s networks and

operations and deals with cybersecurity threats. Disaster recovery planning and penetration

testing is done to ensure the security and resilience of our network and systems. External experts

and partners are engaged as required to improve our system resiliency.

Legal, Regulatory

and Compliance

MCK is subject to political and policy risks, such as new or amended public policies, statutory

and regulatory requirements. MCK is exposed to legal and reputational damage resulting from

breach of law or civil actions.

MCK manages these risks by monitoring changes to laws and regulations and engaging with

Government or regulatory bodies on such changes. We amend our strategies and policies to meet

these changes. MCK manages legal risk by monitoring and reporting significant litigation and

disputes to the Board and seeking advice from our external lawyers. Insurers will be involved

where necessary.

CG 9 | MILLENNIUM & COPTHORNE HOTELS NEW ZEALAND LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2023
CLIMATE RELATED DISCLOSURES

Introduction and compliance statement:

This is MCK’s first reporting period under

the Aotearoa New Zealand Climate

Standards . In relation to the Adoption

Provisions outlined in the Standards

1

, MCK

advises that it has used:

• Adoption Provision 1 which provides

an exemption in the first reporting

period from the requirements to

disclose the current financial impacts

of its physical and transition impacts

and (if relevant) an explanation as to

why quantitative information cannot

be disclosed;

• Adoption Provision 2 which provides

an exemption in the first reporting

period from the requirements to

disclose the anticipated financial

impacts of climate-related risks

and opportunities, a description of

the time horizons over which the

anticipated financial impacts could

reasonably be expected to occur, and

(if relevant) an explanation as to why

quantitative information cannot be

disclosed;

• Adoption Provision 3, which provides

an exemption in the first reporting

period from the requirements to

disclose the transition plan aspects

of an entity’s strategy, including

how its business model and strategy

might change to address its climate-

how the transition plan aspects of its

strategy are aligned with its internal

capital deployment and funding

decision making processes;

• Adoption Provision 4, which

provides an exemption from the

requirement to disclose scope 3

GHG emissions in the first reporting

period. The categories of scope

3 emissions excluded from this

Statement are: purchased goods and

services, capital goods, upstream

transportation and distribution,

upstream leased assets, downstream

transportation and distribution,

processing of sold products, use of

sold products, end-of-life treatment

• Adoption Provision 5, which provides

for comparative information

in relation to the immediately

preceding two reporting periods.

2023 is MCK’s base year and

therefore it does not have

comparative information for Scope

3 emissions which would allow it to

report and disclose for preceding

reporting periods.


• Adoption Provision 6, which provides

an exemption in the first reporting

period from the requirement to

disclose comparative information for

metrics the immediately preceding

two reporting periods. 2023 is MCK’s

and operation of hotels in New Zealand.

We have been in business for over

twenty five years and we trade under the

Millennium / Grand Millennium, M Social,

Copthorne and Kingsgate brands.


Currently, we have a portfolio of 18 hotels

across New Zealand from the Bay of

2. Four hotels have been excluded from the GHG emissions boundary being Grand Millennium Auckland, Millennium Hotel & Resort Manuels Taupo, Copthorne Hotel & Resort Solway

Park Wairarapa and Kingsgate Hotel Paihia. MCK or its subsidiaries do not have ownership control and the GHG emissions are accounted for by the relevant ownership entities.

MCK is also engaged in:

• The development and sale of

residential land in New Zealand

(through our majority-owned

subsidiary CDL Investments New

Zealand Limited [“CDI”];

• The development and sale of

residential units in Australia (Zenith

Central).

Our mission is to become the hotel chain

which everyone recommends to their

family, friends and colleagues. We pride

ourselves of our hospitality and levels of

service no matters which of our hotels you

stay at.


Millennium & Copthorne Hotels New

Zealand Limited (“MCK”) is conscious

that shareholders and stakeholders

want all companies to assess the impact

that their business has on the wider

environment. Doing so requires a focus

on our environmental and social impacts,

stating what our value chain is and looking

at creating a sustainable value chain

throughout our operations.


Our approach has always been to ensure

that we contribute to the betterment

of the wider environment, to use our

resources as thoughtfully as possible

and to maximize the sustainability

of our operations. We seek constant

improvement in all of our activities and we

also maintain a long term horizon for our

investments and for generating value.

MILLENNIUM & COPTHORNE HOTELS NEW ZEALAND LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2023 | CG 10

(and its suppliers and stakeholders) which is required to report separately, hotels under management or franchise where MCK does not have ownership or operational control and

business segments and entities located outside of New Zealand.

4. MCK aims to set targets in 2024 now that it completed its base year of GHG emissions. For 2023, no targets were set (see also Metrics and Targets).

What we aim to do:

• Provide an “Outstanding Service

Experience” at all of our hotels and

Our value chain

:

TCFD Framework disclosures:

As well as reporting against the Standards,

this report is our first public disclosure

aligned to the Task Force on Climate-

Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD)

framework.

Climate impact is expected to affect the

hospitality and accommodation sectors

in a variety of ways. As hotels consume

high levels of water and energy in

their daily operations and use carbon-

unfriendly materials in their construction,

it is imperative to review both their

operations and development to see how

climate-positive improvements can be

incorporated in all aspects. Our locations,

particularly in touristic / resort / seaward-

facing areas are likely to be affected by

climate change and sea level rise. Recent

weather incidents have also affected our

operations with impacts to the properties

themselves as well as access to and from

our hotels.

Increasingly, our guests are wanting

to ensure that their stay has a minimal

impact on the environment, and we

are being encouraged to make positive

statements to show how we are helping

reduce carbon consumption and our

emissions and helping to be climate

positive.

Climate –related governance:

MCK’s board’s oversight of climate-related

risks and opportunities and Management’s

role in assessing and managing climate-

related risks and opportunities is as

follows:

• MCK’s Board has ultimate

responsibility for overseeing the

management of risks, which include

risks related to climate change.

• The Board of MCK is committed

to introducing and integrating

sustainability across key aspects of its

business and advancing sustainability

efforts overall.

• The Board as a whole has oversight

of the current sustainability strategy

and identifying ESG issues and in time

will set sustainability targets and will

oversee sustainability reporting. The

Board also oversees progress against

MCK climate-related goals and will

ensure that targets are tracked and

progressed

4

. As part of its role in

determining strategy, the Board will

also consider climate-related risks as

part of future strategy.

• MCK’s Board does not currently have

a director with specialist knowledge

of climate issues although several

directors are aware of sustainability

frameworks. To expand its knowledge,

a workshop with Toitu Envirocare

was held in 2023 to provide the Audit

Committee in particular with a better

understanding of climate risks and

opportunities. The Board believes

that it has a sufficient number of

directors who have knowledge and

experience of risk management

generally and who are able to

Scenario Analysis:

NZ CS 1 requires reporting entities to

make disclosures of various climate

change scenarios and the impacts of those

scenarios on our business. The essence of

the scenarios is to address some of the

following questions and issues:

• How does climate change affect our

sector and our company?

• What are the critical uncertainties on

our assets, operation, strategy and

business model, and the potential

impact on our prospects that our

sector and our company need to

prepare for?

• Are we prepared for those

5. Please also refer to the Corporate Governance Statement in this Annual Report (pages X to Y) which should be read together with these disclosures. MCK has recently completed a

comprehensive review of its corporate governance policies and these are published on its website www.mckhotels.co.nz

uncertainties and how are we

addressing them as part of our risk

management?

• What are the resiliency options, if

any? What is our plan to transition

toward a low-emissions and climate-

resilient future?

No company can predict the future and

solve all of the questions that we need to

address. The objective is to identify risk

and opportunities and uncertainties, aim

to mitigate if possible and to develop a

future path for our company in a world

that is affected by climate change.


As 2023 is our base year, our scenario

analysis was done on a basic level

internally, is a narrative-driven analysis

but not fully detailed. The financial impact

of the scenario assessments we have done

to date is yet to be quantified. With the

information we have gathered as part of

the GHG assessment and audit, we expect

to do more detailed work in 2024 and to

provide more detailed analysis as part of

future disclosures. Future analysis will

incorporate external advice.

For our 2023 scenario modelling, we

have used data from the International

Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) 5th and

6th Assessment Reports and the AR6

Synthesis Report: Climate Change 2023

6


which was published by the IPCC in March

2023 to provide some metrics and key

assumptions. We have also had regard to

some of the scenario modelling data which

was developed and used by The Aotearoa

Circle

7

and the Climate Change scenarios

for New Zealand published by the National

Institute of Water and Atmospheric

Research (NIWA)

8

including their New

Zealand findings from the IPCC 5th

Assessment Report

9

. We have also referred

to the Ministry for the Environment’s

“Aotearoa New Zealand climate change

projections guidance”

10

.

Key underlying assumptions:

• Global surface temperature has

increased faster since 1970 than in

any other 50-year period over at least

the last 2000 years;

• Widespread and rapid changes in the

atmosphere, ocean and biosphere

have already occurred. Human-caused

climate change is already affecting

many weather and climate extremes

in every region across the globe.

This has led to widespread adverse

impacts and related losses and

damages to nature and people;

• Global mean sea level increased by

0.20 metres between 1901 and 2018

and the average rate of sea level rise

was an average of 3.7 mm per year

between 2006 and 2018 For New

Zealand, this could mean an increase

in sea level rise of between 0.2m to

0.32m depending on the extent of

global warming ;

• Climate change has reduced food

security and affected water security,

hindering efforts to meet the UN’s

Sustainable Development Goals. On

most scenarios being modelled, New

Zealand could see population growth

from between 16% to 26% which

could be similar to global population

growth trends of between 8% to 16%;

• In urban areas, observed climate

change has caused adverse impacts

on human health, livelihoods and key

infrastructure. Urban infrastructure,

including transportation, water,

sanitation and energy systems have

been compromised by extreme and

slow-onset events;

• Global warming will continue to

increase in the near term (2021–

2040) mainly due to increased

cumulative CO2 emissions. In the near

term, global warming is more likely

than not to reach 1.5°C even under a

very low GHG emission scenario and

likely or very likely to exceed 1.5°C

under higher emissions scenarios;

• Risks and projected adverse impacts

and related losses and damages from

climate change will escalate with

every increment of global warming.

For New Zealand, the number of

extreme heat days could increase to

between 15 to 30 additional such

days and in certain area of New

Zealand there will be changes to

rainfall patterns and flooding is likely

to increase. Fire weather indices are

also projected to increase in many

parts of the country ;

• For any given future warming level,

many climate-related risks are likely

to be higher than assessed and

projected long-term impacts are

also likely to be much greater than

currently observed;

• Reaching net zero CO2 or GHG

emissions primarily requires deep and

rapid reductions in gross emissions of

CO2, as well as substantial reductions

of non-CO2 GHG emissions;

• Climate change is therefore a threat

to human well-being and planetary

health. There is a rapidly closing

window of opportunity to secure a

liveable and sustainable future

for all.

MILLENNIUM & COPTHORNE HOTELS NEW ZEALAND LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2023 | CG 12
For our 2023 modelling, we have defined

the Near Term as being 2023 to 2030, Mid

Term to be 2031 to 2050 and Long Term to

be 2051 onwards. We also define “physical

risks” as those which primarily arise due

to climate impacts such as weather and

warming and “transition risks” as risks

which result from the transition to either

a lower carbon environment or a higher

carbon environment.

1.5°C scenario

A 1.5 degree scenario assumes that

a pathway to global sustainability is

achievable but assumes global warming

continues due to increased GHG emissions.

Given the assumptions from the IPCC, in

the near term, global warming is more

likely than not to reach 1.5°C even under

the very low GHG emission scenario. This

is therefore the most optimistic scenario

but is not guaranteed and the effects of

global warming will continue to be felt in

any event.

For New Zealand, this will likely mean

that there will still be extreme weather

events which are likely to require

infrastructure responses. As stated above,

our assumption is that there will continue

to be climate and weather patterns shifts

and disruptions.

Physical Risks:

• Responses to extreme weather events

such as flooding / natural disasters:

in this scenario, our assumptions are

that there will be a need to respond

to some additional extreme weather

events. We will need to be able to

have plans to respond to guest needs

and our own staff and business needs

and to update or redraft our business

continuity / response plans should an

event arise. While no two events are

the same, in our assumptions we would

expect a level of guest disruption with

delays or compromised infrastructure or

disruption to transportation networks.

While ad hoc responses have worked in

the past, additional work and modelling

would need to be done on how we

could employ our nationwide / regional

networks to have hotels in the same or

proximate locations assist one another

to accommodate guest disruption in

such an event.

• Building maintenance costs:

Maintenance costs are likely to increase

in at least two ways – there will be the

costs of conducting maintenance and

repairs after an event and there will be

costs incurred to implement proactive

measures before weather events

happen. The extent and impact of both

sets of costs is yet to be modelled and

is a complicated exercise given the

diversity of hotel properties MCK has.

• Revenue loss : Weather events and

natural disasters can lead to revenue

loss in several ways. Damage to the

property may mean that guests may

need to be moved to other rooms while

repairs are carried out and future

reservations may need to cancelled for

a period of time if repairs are ongoing.

Conversely, there may be opportunities

for properties which are in better

condition or are designed to withstand

weather events to make revenue gains.

This is not something we have currently

modelled but will be looking to do so in

the future.

Transition Risks:


Energy costs: we would assume in this

scenario that there would be a moderate

but periodic increases in energy costs

to power infrastructure such as air

conditioning and other building systems

to combat hotter days and colder winter

temperatures. Higher demand would

likely add pressure on existing networks

with the potential to lead to disruptions

and possibly failures. Conversely,

there would be an increasing focus

on maximising energy efficiency and

looking at alternative sources of power

to reduce costs where practicable. Other

pressures could arise from a greater

number of electric / hybrid vehicles but

the recent change of government policy

in this area makes forecasting future

trends difficult.

• Insurance premium increases: in this

scenario, we would likely face increasing

but still accessible insurance premiums

generally but with differential premiums

or allowances for certain particular

properties based on an estimated

increasing frequency of weather

events. This may be similar to the way

that insurers estimate and allow for

earthquake risk now. For properties

that are affected or deemed likely to

be affected by climatic events, there is

the risk that they may find insurance

more costly than now and in some

cases where incidents are frequent and

there is a loss history, insurance may

be curtailed in some way either due to

the deductible / excess imposed or by

the policy response terms. Alternative

options such as self-insurance may need

to be considered for those sites. To date,

MCK continues to have full replacement

cover for its portfolio and its insurance

premiums are manageable.

• Increased environmental obligations:

in this scenario, we are assuming that

there may likely be pressures to reduce

emissions and other impactful activities.

Imposition of charges for emissions

might occur but how these are

structured is not known and uncertain.

Policy in this area is unclear and

assessing the potential financial risk is

tricky when there are several unknown

issues.

2.0°C scenario

A 2.0 degree scenario assumes that a

pathway to global sustainability is not

achievable and the effects of climate

change increase over the mid-term to long

term and the currently seen effects are

exacerbated. The IPCC believes that it is

very likely that global warming will exceed

1.5°C and that this therefore assumes

a higher emissions scenario which is

described as “disorderly”.

We assume that New Zealand will see

an increase in extreme weather events

and increased vulnerability to assets

and infrastructure. As a result, we

would expect to see changes in policy

and investment to cope or counter such

vulnerabilities and an increased focus on

population protections.

Physical Risks:

• Responses to extreme weather events

such as flooding: in this scenario, our

assumptions are that there will be a

need to respond to many more extreme

weather events. We will need to be able

to have plans to respond to guest needs

and our own staff and business needs

and to update or redraft our business

continuity / response plans should an

event arise. While no two events are

the same, in our assumptions we would

expect a level of guest disruption with

delays or compromised infrastructure or

disruption to transportation networks.

While ad hoc responses have worked in

the past, additional work and modelling

would need to be done on how we

could employ our nationwide / regional

networks to have hotels in the same or

proximate locations assist one another

to accommodate guest disruption in

such an event.

• Building maintenance costs:

Maintenance costs are likely to

increase in several ways. With more

adverse events, it follows that there

will be post event maintenance and

proactive maintenance to combat the

effects of the adverse events. Further

infrastructure or design changes might

be required to mitigate future effects

which could add to capital costs. The

extent and impact of such costs is yet to

be modelled by MCK.

• Revenue loss: in this scenario, we

assume that there will likely be an

increased probability of revenue

loss above and beyond occasional

disruption. Damage to the property

may mean that guests may need to be

re-accommodated either on site or at

other properties and future reservations

may need to cancelled for a period of

time if repairs are ongoing. This is not

something we have currently modelled

but will be looking to do so in the future.

Transition Risks:

• Energy costs: we would assume in this

scenario that there would be a moderate

but continuous increases in energy

costs to power infrastructure such as

air conditioning and other building

systems to combat extreme heat days

and colder winter temperatures. Higher

demand would likely add pressure on

existing networks with the potential

to lead to disruptions and possibly

failures. Conversely, there would be an

increasing focus on maximising energy

efficiency and looking at alternative

sources of power to reduce costs where

practicable.

• Insurance premium increases: in this

scenario, we would likely face the issue

of increasing insurance premiums for

certain particular properties based on

an increasing frequency of weather

events. For properties that are affected

or deemed likely to be affected by

climatic events, there is the risk that

they may find insurance very costly,

only available under strict policy terms

or potentially unavailable if insurers

decline to take on the insurable risks. In

such an event, alternative options

CG 13 | MILLENNIUM & COPTHORNE HOTELS NEW ZEALAND LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2023
such as self-insurance may need to be

considered.

• Increased environmental obligations:

in this scenario, we are assuming

that there may likely be pressures to

structurally decarbonise or likely pay for

the emissions which are made above a

mandated threshold in order to try and

limit or reduce emissions. As policy in

this area is changing and debate on such

measures such as congestion charging is

restarting, there is no clarity on how to

assess the potential financial risk when

there are several unknown issues.

• Market uncertainty: As costs rise and

are forecast to increase, they will

have a corresponding impact on the

profitability of our businesses. Under

a 2.0 Degree scenario, while this may

cause the viability of some properties

to be called into question, we have

assumed that MCK is able to continue

to do business, however to what extent

has not yet been modelled. The financial

impact of a 2.0 Degree scenario has not

yet been modelled.

3.0°C scenario

A 3.0 degree scenario assumes that

the wider environment is seriously

degraded with continued global warming

intensifying the global water cycle

resulting in more dramatic climate

events (wet and dry), more variable or

extreme events such as storms, cyclones

or hurricanes, a reduction in the ability

of land and ocean carbon sinks to absorb

emissions and further global mean sea-

level rise and other detrimental effects on

the land and ocean environments.

Often described as a “hot house world”

scenario, there will very likely be severe

physical impacts of climate changes

evidenced by significant sea level rise,

rainfall intensity and a further increase

in the number of extreme heat days. Such

events could have cascading effects into

areas such as agriculture and horticulture.

Social and response services and critical

infrastructure would be put under severe

pressure. “Climate refugees” to New

Zealand could further exacerbate this

scenario.

Physical Risks:

• Responses to extreme weather events

such as flooding and extreme heat

days: for 2023, we have not been able

to model what this scenario looks like

for our businesses. This will be the

subject of future work. The reason is

because under such a scenario, there

could be an existential threat to some

of our locations if such extreme events

cause a level of disruption or damage to

render a property unusable or unviable.

If that is correct, such a scenario

would have a material impact to the

business. Because the scenario will vary

accordingly to location, the potential

financial impact will vary accordingly.

• Building maintenance costs: in a similar

way to the responses to extreme

weather events, we would assume

under this scenario that increased

maintenance would be an automatic

assumption. The question we are

looking to address is whether any level

of maintenance even at an increased

tempo would be sufficient. Future

modelling will look at such a scenario.

• Revenue loss: The potential level of

revenue loss will depend on the extent

and location of the hotels affected and

will vary depending on season. At an

extreme end, the extent of revenue

loss caused by one major or a series of

extreme events could potentially cause

the viability of a property or properties

to be unviable. Future modelling will

consider such possibilities and their

impacts.

Transition Risks:

• Energy costs: we would assume in this

scenario that there would be a steep

increase in energy costs to power

infrastructure such as air conditioning

and other building systems. Higher

demand would inevitably add pressure

on constrained networks leading to

increased failures. Conversely, there

would be a strong focus on maximising

energy efficiency and looking at

alternative sources of power to reduce

costs where practicable.

• Insurance premium increases /

insurance availability: if more

frequent weather events continue to

be prevalent, a sustained amount of

loss incidents could cause insurance

to be severely priced or potentially

unavailable. This would affect all of

our properties. If insurance became

too costly, then options such as self-

insurance or parametric cover would

need to be considered.

• Increased environmental obligations

such as GHG pricing: in this scenario,

we are assuming that there will be

mandatory demands to structurally

decarbonise or likely pay for the

emissions which are made above a

mandated threshold in order to try and

limit or reduce emissions. With no clear

guidance on the financial impact of

such measures, forecasting the impacts

is very difficult and leads into the

uncertainty risk below.

• Further market uncertainty: As

highlighted above, a combination

of increased structural costs and

obligations could have a material

financial impact on our businesses.

How viable tourism / accommodation

and land development would be in such

a scenario is difficult to model, much

less predict. Given the fact that MCK’s

business is not solely limited to hotels /

accommodation alone and has exposure

to property development through CDL

Investments, calculating the financial

impact is very difficult.

Climate related opportunities:

Where there are risks, there is usually

space for opportunities. In the course of

measuring our GHGs in 2023, we identified

a number of areas which could constitute

potential opportunities which we will

consider exploring in the future as we look

to reduce our impact on the environment.

These include:

• Developing plans for increased

efficiencies in hotel buildings: these

could take the form of reviewing the

boilers, HVAC and other systems and

looking at their energy consumption

and efficiency. The benefits would lie in

a reduction of direct and indirect costs

such as maintenance over the long term,

higher guest satisfaction and potential

for increased revenue as a result. This

is an opportunity that can be explored

now and does not have to wait for a 2.0

degree or 3.0 degree scenario.

• Installing and using lower emission

sources of energy: although the

installation costs might be higher in

the short term, over the longer term, a

reduction in exposure to direct energy

prices and the fluctuations of the

spot market could be avoided. These

systems could also help reduce overall

emissions. An associated issue would be

to look at energy storage which could

also help reduce overall / longer term

costs. This is also an opportunity that

can be explored now and does not have

to wait for a 2.0 degree or 3.0 degree

scenario.

• Reducing water use: with increasing

demand for water and higher

infrastructure costs forecast, a

reduction in water consumption / use

would see a reduction in operating

costs to the business. This is another

opportunity that can be explored now

and does not have to wait for a 2.0

degree or 3.0 degree scenario.

• Using more environmentally friendly /

more efficient modes of transport: this

would result in a reduction of direct

emissions and a reduction of operating

and fuel costs. We have already

transitioned to lower emissions vehicles

and looking at additional options.

• Devising lower carbon offerings

(products and services): with consumer

awareness on packaging, the cost and

impact of importing and transporting

food and other products and an

increasing understanding of the supply

and value chain, product and service

offerings could be developed which

could be considered to be low carbon

/ low impact on the environment. One

potential benefit could be that local

businesses and producers could be

better supported as a result. This is

also an opportunity that we are keen to

explore in the immediate future.

• Increasing overall resiliency: as issues

arise with infrastructure and services

where investment is sub-optimal or

unlikely, solutions to mitigate risk

through self-provision of certain

services or infrastructure could be

beneficial. One example is installing

batteries in areas where the power

supply is degrading or unreliable. This is

also an opportunity that we can start to

explore now and as part of our planning

for a 2.0 degree or 3.0 degree scenario.

MILLENNIUM & COPTHORNE HOTELS NEW ZEALAND LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2023 | CG 14
Risk Management

MCK is in the process of reviewing its

risk management framework and we

anticipate that a new framework will

be adopted in the second half of 2024.

When implemented, we expect the

new framework to identify and assess

the impact of risks across our business

including climate related risks. Currently,

climate-specific risks are not considered

in isolation, rather they are considered as

part of MCK’s overall risk framework.


In 2023, MCK engaged Toitu Envirocare

(“Toitu”) as its external advisory firm to

assist with the identification of risks and

measurement of its Greenhouse Gas (GHG)

emissions. In 2023, Toitu also conducted

an audit to ISO 14064-3:2019 standards of

MCK’s GHG emissions. As part of its base

year work, MCK is incorporating climate-

related risks into the risk framework and

in terms of time horizons will also be

using the definitions under its scenario

modelling

11

.


In our Outline of Material Risks on CG

7 - CG 8, we acknowledge that climate

impact is expected to affect the hospitality

and accommodation sectors in a variety

of ways. This means that we must review

our operations and development to see

whether climate-positive improvements

can be incorporated throughout our

business.


We know that our hotel and office

locations are likely to be affected

by climate change in some way and

will therefore have both physical

and transition risks. As an example,

severe weather incidents such as those

experienced in 2023 have already shown

us how our land holdings and development

operations can be impacted by flooding

and infrastructure pressures causing

delays to our project timelines and also

potentially increasing costs. Putting in

place contingency plans for short term

physical risks has been a priority over the

last year.

For these Climate Related Disclosures,

we understand that physical risks are

those relating to the physical impacts of

climate change, including via temperature,

rainfall, storms, extreme weather events,

and sea-level rise. Transition risks on

the other hand are those related to

transitioning to a climate-resilient

environment and economy both at the

global and regional level. Thus, these

would include policy, legal, technology,

market and reputation changes associated

with the mitigation and adaptation

requirements relating to climate change.

An additional immediate transition

risk arises out of compliance with the

Standards. Given that this is the first year

of reporting, we do not know exactly what

the wider market and the regulator expect

from these disclosures. As expectations

and guidance become clearer, MCK will

look to refine and expand its disclosures

accordingly. In addition, additional costs

associated with compliance such as the

engagement of external consultants, the

audit of GHG emissions and additional

time and resource expended internally to

collate and process the data were incurred

in 2023. Additional cost increases in this

area are likely to continue for the short

term as additional advice is sought and

additional reporting undertaken.

While MCK allocates funds to complete

repairs and maintenance at its hotels

within its annual budget planning

processes, no specific amounts were

allocated to climate related risks or

opportunities in 2023. We have not yet

determined the amount or percentage

of assets or business activities which are

vulnerable to transition risks. This will be

the subject of further assessment work to

be carried out. As modelling is yet to be

completed, MCK has not yet set an internal

emission price per metric tonne of CO2e

used internally.

While we have not yet seen any changes

to regulations as a result of those weather

events affecting our property holdings,

future changes cannot be discounted.

This may be a factor when looking at new

or potential acquisitions in the future,

particularly if decisions are made to

build or significantly refurbish existing

or new hotels. Those risks are mid term

transition risks. In 2024, more work will

be done to refine mid-term and long term

physical and transition risks as we obtain

and refine more information about our

environmental impact. MCK is not aware

of any specific industry-based metrics for

New Zealand hotels and accommodation

that is it is currently able to utilise.

11. “Near Term” is being 2023 to 2030, “Mid Term” is between 2031 to 2050 and “Long Term” is 2051 onwards.

CG 15 | MILLENNIUM & COPTHORNE HOTELS NEW ZEALAND LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2023
Strategy

Given that 2023 is our base year and additional work will need to

be done to fully map out our climate-related strategy, MCK is not

disclosing a transition plan that would meet the requirements of

NZ CS 1 and has applied Adoption Provision 3 of the Standards

which provides an exemption in the first reporting period from the

requirements to disclose the transition plan aspects of an entity’s

strategy.

In 2024, MCK is aiming to develop its transition plan which is

expected to contain short and long term emissions reduction

targets. Outside of the transition plan, MCK has adopted the

United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (the “UN SDGs”)

as a point of reference to assist with identifying areas that need

to be included as part of its wider sustainability strategy. To date,

MCK has identified the following UN SDGs and material topics:

MILLENNIUM & COPTHORNE HOTELS NEW ZEALAND LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2023 | CG 16
MCK aims to include as many of the SDGs as practicable and

relevant in future materiality assessments.

As well as the climate related opportunities detailed above, we

also identified the following areas which we believe need to be

addressed as part of our future strategy. These are:

Waste reduction/ recycling

Emissions reductions

Staff Engagement

• Waste reduction / recycling: MCK’s environmental journey

started with a waste reduction/ recycling initiative and its

initial Environmental Policy was centred around this issue.

We have been working on a number of waste reduction

measures at all of our hotels and we have worked to

align our operations with external benchmarking criteria.

All of our hotels have measures in place in relation to

reducing food waste and recycling programmes for paper,

glassware and plastics. The housekeeping, maintenance

and engineering and Food & Beverage teams are all actively

involved in monitoring and improving these programmes.

• Emissions reductions: In 2023 we have been developing

our understanding of our emissions footprint, how we can

reduce our emissions and carbon footprint and what this

means for our business. At this stage, we have not set a

target for carbon reduction as this is our base line year but

we are aiming to do so now that we have our emissions

data compiled and analysed. Carbon emissions reductions

across our operations are part of our strategy and looking

at how we can reduce our emissions as well as looking at

the feasibility of lower emission energy in our operations

will be a strategic issue for MCK. In 2023, we joined Toitu

Envirocare’s carbonreduce programme and in February 2024

we successfully completed the requirements to become

a Toitu carbonreduce certified organisation

12

. This is an

important step on our continued journey to improve our

carbon footprint and environmental efficiency in general.


• Staff Engagement: Environmental initiatives have been

part of MCK's hotel operations for many years as hotels

were encouraged to undertake localised initiatives. As such,

all staff at hotels which undertook such initiatives would

be very familiar with those initiatives and progress. MCK

has a company-wide intranet which has a portal to share

such information and on occasion the development and

progress of these initiatives would be shared to the global

Millennium & Copthorne group. Within the operations and

property management staff, there is a high understanding

of the relevant issues especially with regard to energy and

water consumption and how to reduce the environmental

impact of both. Formalised environmental training as part

of induction processes is something we are considering

to increase awareness of the critical issues. MCK has had

a basic environmental policy in place since 2008 and is

now looking again at how to broaden its environmental

awareness, make more resources available to its staff to

identify additional initiatives to assist in setting targets and

actively work to reduce its carbon footprint where possible.

12. Certification was achieved through an audit which aligned to the following criteria: ISO 14064-1:2018, ISO 14064-3:2019, Toitu Programme Technical Requirements 3.1Audit &

Certification Technical requirements 3.0, Certification Mark Guide v 3.0.

Future Value Goals:

Our targets and goals will evolve and change as we are able

to improve our reporting and analysis of our emissions and

environmental impact. As 2023 is our base line year, we will be

looking at conducting more detailed risk assessments from 2024

and performing climate change analysis in the near future to

allow us to set firm targets and goals. Our aim is to use these risk

assessments and analyses to be able to better integrate climate-

related risks into our business strategy and our future financial

analysis.

Using the UN SDGs, our current targets and goals are:

• Reducing our overall environmental impact (SDG 7, 12, 13,

15) – especially with regard to water use / energy use; and

• Maintaining a fair, safe and inclusive workplace (SDG 8 and

16)

Our Metrics and Targets :

In 2023, we achieved Toitu Envirocare carbonreduce certification

for the first time for our GHG Inventory and emissions, covering

our Scope 1 and Scope 2 and selected Scope 3 emissions. The

GHG emissions data covered our direct and indirect emissions

and included energy purchased, air travel, transmission and

distribution (T&D) losses for purchased energy, LPG fuel

emissions (rental and other cars), taxis, water supply, office waste,

composting and recycling for the reporting period (January 1,

2023 through December 31, 2023), The programme requirements

that applied are in accordance with ISO 14064-1:2018. This is a

significant step towards measurement and setting future targets

which were are looking to confirm in 2024.

MCK is committed to measuring and looking at ways to reduce its

carbon footprint. Our assessment of emissions included vehicles,

business travel, fuel and electricity usage, paper consumption,

and waste generation. The emissions will be evaluated annually,

and the inventory will undergo independent audit and verification.

Currently, MCK is not looking at carbon offsets or purchasing

carbon credits but in the future will investigate options by which

it could offset or credit its emissions. In 2024, work will be done

to include Scope 3 emissions from sources such as employee

commuting and supplier generated emissions.

In measuring GHG emissions for 2023, we set an operational

boundary which covered the hotels we owned and operated as well

as our support and sales offices. The emissions of hotels under

management or franchise

13

were not included as MCK does not

have ownership and operational control of those properties. For

2023, we did not include Scope 3 emissions as this was our base

year and therefore we are relying on adoption relief as provided

for in the Standards for these areas.

Two specific areas were identified and excluded from MCK’s 2023

GHG inventory being freight and refrigerants. MCK did not contract

freight services which we understand to be freight transportation

by air, sea or land. MCK usually contracts services as part of major

refurbishments where, for example, materials are transported to

site. In 2023, this was done by third parties for which MCK does

not have emissions data for. In respect of refrigerants, MCK did not

conduct a full survey of its air conditioning systems in 2023 and

due to the age of some of the systems some information relating

to their refrigerants is not held. A survey is intended to be done in

2024.

As stated in the Introduction, for 2023, MCK has used Adoption

Provision 4 which provides for an exemption from the requirement

to disclose Scope 3 GHG emissions in the first reporting period.

The categories of scope 3 emissions excluded from this Statement

are: purchased goods and services, capital goods, upstream

transportation and distribution, upstream leased assets,

downstream transportation and distribution, processing of sold

products, use of sold products, end-of-life treatment of sold

products, downstream leased assets, franchises, and investments,

in its first reporting period under this regime.

13. The excluded hotels were Grand Millennium Auckland, Kingsgate Hotel Paihia, Millennium Hotel Manuels Taupo and Copthorne Hotel & Resort Solway Park Wairarapa.

MILLENNIUM & COPTHORNE HOTELS NEW ZEALAND LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2023 | CG 18
At this stage, we have not set a target for overall carbon reduction

as this is our base line year but we are aiming to do so now that we

have our emissions data compiled and analysed. MCK has not yet

determined whether the targets will be on an intensity or absolute

basis but will be science-based. Targets which are currently being

contemplated include reductions for use of energy (electricity

and gas), GHG emissions, waste reduction / recycling and reducing

water consumption at various sites including hotels and office

premises.

Emissions Factors

The emission factors used are drawn from a variety of sources,

primarily: Government published emission factors (such as the NZ

MfE); other government publications or data; industry publications

or data; international bodies; technical reports; peer-reviewed

journals or literature; the IPCC; supplier-specific data (from

providers); Global Warming Potentials (GWP) from the IPCC fifth

assessment report (AR5) are the preferred GWP conversion.

MCK’s GHG emissions data has been quantified according to the

requirements of ISO 14064-1:2018.


In alignment with ISO 14064-1 we have completed an uncertainty

assessment of the activity data, emissions factors, and calculation

methodologies. Emissions factors sources and uncertainty can be

found in the full ISO14064-1 aligned GHG inventory. Uncertainty

is inherent within GHG accounting, however we have committed to

review and reduce our assumptions and uncertainty through using

supplier specific methodologies and reported emissions where

possible.

MCK measures and manages our Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions

in accordance with the requirements of International Standard ISO

14064-1 Greenhouse gases – Part 1: Specification with guidance

at the organisation level for quantification and reporting of

greenhouse gas emissions and removals (‘ISO 14064-1:2018’).

MCK has used a calculation methodology in alignment with ISO

14064-1 as described below.

Emissions = activity data x emissions factor

All emissions were calculated using Toitu emanage with emissions

factors and Global Warming Potentials provided by the Toitu

emanage tool. Global Warming Potentials (GWP) from the IPCC

fifth assessment report (AR5) are the primary GWP conversion

however some emissions factors are from (AR4). If emission

factors have been derived from recognised publications approved

by the programme, which still use earlier GWPs, the emission

factors have not been altered from as published.

Where applicable, unit conversions applied when processing the

activity data has been disclosed.

There are systems and procedures in place that will ensure

applied quantification methodologies will continue in future GHG

emissions inventories.

Assurance

MCK’s GHG inventory is subject to independent assurance by Toitu

Envirocare (Enviromark Solutions Limited 2020) in accordance

with ISO14064-3:2019. Assurance was Reasonable for categories

1 & 2 and Limited for categories 3 & 4. The disclosures required by

the Aotearoa Climate Standards were not assessed with the GHG

inventory.

The climate related disclosures were authorised for issue for

and on behalf of the directors on 28 March 2024.

WAIVERS FROM NZX REGULATION LIMITED (NZREGCO)


On 21 March 2023, NZX Regulation Limited (NZ RegCo) granted MCK a waiver from the requirement under Listing Rule 5.2.1 to obtain shareholder

approval to enter into and perform the acquisition of the Sofitel Brisbane Central hotel (the “Acquisition”) by way of a consortium bid with City Developments

Limited (“CDL”), where CDL was a Related Party (or another entity within the CDL group that is a Related Party). The waiver from Listing Rule 5.2.1 was

granted subject to the Independent Directors of MCK certifying that (i) the terms of the Acquisition have been negotiated and entered into on an arm’s length

commercial basis; (ii) the Acquisition has been considered independently of the relevant Related Party of the CDL group under a consortium bid and that

person did not unduly influence MCK’s decision to enter into the Acquisition or vote on any resolution to approve the entry into the Acquisition; (iii) in their

opinion, entry into the Acquisition is in the best interests of MCK and MCK’s shareholders who are not Associated Persons of the relevant Related Party of

the CDL group; and (iv) the terms and conditions for MCK entering into the Acquisition are substantially the same as those applying to the relevant Related

Party of the CDL group.



PUBLIC EXERCISE OF NZX POWERS (Rules 3.7.1 g) and Rule 9.9.3)


On 5 October 2023, NZ RegCo referred to the NZ Markets Disciplinary Tribunal (the Tribunal) alleged breaches of Rules 2.13.2(b), 3.8.1(b) and (d) by MCK.


The Company accepted that it had breached:


• Rule 2.13.2(b) by having only two members on its Audit Committee from February 2018 until 27 July 2020;

• Rule 3.8.1(b) by not adequately disclosing or explaining its non-compliance with NZX Corporate Governance Code recommendations 2.8, 3.1,

4.2, 5.3 and 8.1 in its annual reports for some or all of the 2017 to 2022 financial years; and

• Rule 3.8.1(d) by not including an evaluation by its Board on its performance with respect to its Diversity Policy in its annual reports for the 2018

to 2022 financial years.


The Tribunal noted that MCK admitted the breaches at the earliest opportunity and co-operated fully with NZ RegCo’s investigation.


The Tribunal ordered MCK to pay a financial penalty of $50,000 ($35,000 for its Audit Committee breach and $15,000 for its annual report breaches), pay

the costs of NZX and the Tribunal, and be publicly censured. The determination and public censure were released to the market on 3 November 2023.
