• Net distributable income of $55.8 million vs. $64.2 million for the prior comparable period;

• Sound portfolio metrics, with occupancy at 96.7% and WALT of 5.2 years;

• NTA per share of $1.45, from $1.58 at 31 March 2023;

• Portfolio gearing steady at 36.5%, near the middle of the target band of 30-40%;

• Divested four non Core assets for $93.1 million, achieving above book value;

• Successful portfolio leasing and rent review outcomes, including 3.5% annualised rental growth on

rents reviewed and 85% tenant retention rate;

• Execution of strategy, including obtaining 6 Green Star Built and 5.5 NABERSNZ certification on 8-

14 Willis Street, commencement of 224 Neilson Street targeting 6 Green Stars and continuing the

company’s portfolio transformation and progress to a 50% green portfolio by 2031; and

• FY25 dividend guidance of 6.65 cents per share, in line with the prior year.

CHAIR’S REVIEW

Chair Jeff Morrison said, “The Board is satisfied with the way the business, management team and

staff have performed despite continued weak operating conditions.

Inflation remains outside the Reserve Bank’s target band, and consequently interest rates remain at a

higher level. These high rates have clearly had a negative influence on property values.

As a Board, we are pleased by the progress Argosy continues to make towards our sustainability goals

evidenced by the green buildings completed, certifications achieved, and future new developments.

We also maintained or improved NABERSNZ ratings across rated assets and retained our MSCI ESG

Green Rating at AA. We are increasing our focus on the potential impacts of climate change on the

business.


2

Argosy’s diversified portfolio remains resilient and the 34% weighting to the Government sector

provides a measure of earnings defensiveness. Our portfolio metrics remain sound, although we

acknowledge the coming year will certainly be more challenging.

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

medium term, having made several strategic asset divestments through the year, all at or in excess of

book values. The business has sufficient funding capacity to accommodate short term development

requirements and strategic acquisition opportunities should they arise.

Argosy continues to deliver an investment strategy focused on a di

versified high quality portfolio

underpinned by our sustainability strategy. Key policy targets are an increased weighting in Auckland

Industrial and a reduced weighting in Wellington Office. Our commitment to building a better future,

particularly for our tenants and the environment, is unchanged.

The Board considers the business to be in a sound position. Based on current projections for the

portfolio and subject to delivery against strategic objectives and market conditions, which we

acknowledge remain uncertain, the dividend guidance for FY25 is 6.65 cents per share, consistent with

this financial year.”

MANAGEMENT REVIEW

Argosy’s Chief Executive Officer, Peter Mence said “The business is in good shape with a solid capital

position. Whilst we experienced positive leasing and rent review results over the period, the extended

time to close leasing opportunities persisted and we expect this to continue for the FY25 financial year.

Although our portfolio occupancy at 96.7% is solid, the next 12 months is expected to be challenging in

a weaker economic environment as we seek to address near term expiries and vacancy.

I’m pleased the way our Health & Safety framework is working, and we’ll continue to work

collaboratively with our key stakeholders towards our goal of zero harm.

We are seeing increased market interest and demand for green buildings, particularly in relation to our

current industrial development project at Neilson Street.

We have adjusted our Investment Policy target bands, with a 5% increase to our Auckland Industrial

weighting and a commensurate reduction to Wellington Office. The continued favourable

characteristics of the Industrial sector, coupled with growing demand for green buildings will see the

portfolio well placed to benefit from these drivers over the long term.

Despite a muted outlook for the next 12 months, we remain confident in and committed to the delivery

of our long term strategy, importantly including the payment of sustainable dividends to shareholders

and building a better future for all our stakeholders.”

Financial Results

Statement of Comprehensive Income

For the 12 months to 31 March, Argosy reported net property income of $116.5 million for the period,

up $3.7 million or 3.3% compared with the prior comparable period.

Net property income was bolstered by solid like-for-like rental growth, driven by contributions from rent

reviews and income from completed developments.


3

Net interest expense of $43.7 million was up $7.4 million on the prior comparable period, primarily due

to higher floating rates, higher average debt and lower capitalised interest.

Annual valuations for the year to 31 March 2024 were performed by CBRE Limited and Colliers

International New Zealand Limited. The total unrealised revaluation loss for the year to 31 March was

$111.7 million or 5.4% on book value. The softening of the portfolio capitalisation rate by 37 basis

points to 6.21% was the key driver of the revaluation decrease. Of the annual decline, $50.8 million

was recognised in the interim result at 30 September 2023.

By sector, Industrial decreased $51.2 million or 4.8%. The Office portfolio declined by $49.9 million or

6.1%, and Large Format Retail declined by $10.6 million or 5.1%. The portfolio is 8.6% under-rented,

excluding market rent on developments.

As a result of the FY24 revaluations, Argosy’s NTA declined to $1.45 per share from $1.58 at 31 March

2023. Following the revaluation, Argosy’s portfolio shows a contract yield on values of 6.05% and a

yield on fully let market rentals of 6.73%.

The revaluation loss contributed to the net loss after tax of $55.3 million, compared to a net loss of

$80.8 million in FY23.

Distributable Income

Net distributable income for the year was $55.8 million compared to $64.2 million in the prior

comparable period (which included a $3 million settlement for the failed sale of the Albany Lifestyle

Centre).

Portfolio Activity - Portfolio Metrics, Rent Reviews and Leasing

Peter Mence said “The full year has definitely been influenced by a tougher economic environment.

However, the team has delivered solid results across our core operating metrics.”

As at 31 March, Argosy’s WALT was 5.2 years and portfolio occupancy was 96.7%.

For the period to 31 March 2024, Argosy completed 115 rent reviews, achieving annualised rental

growth of 3.5%. These reviews were achieved on rents totalling $93 million.

On rents subject to review by sector, Argosy achieved annualised rental growth of 3.4% for Industrial

rent reviews, 3.5% for Office rent reviews and 4.0% for Large Format Retail rent reviews.

For the period to 31 March 2024, 65% of rents reviewed were subject to fixed reviews, 28% were

market reviews and 7% were CPI based.

Argosy completed 44 leasing transactions across 151,660m

2

of NLA over the period to 31 March.

Lease transactions were made up of 20 new leases, 21 renewals and 3 e xtensions.

Key leasing highlights over the full year include;

• The Mind Lab Limited, 99-107 Khyber Pass, 875m

2

renewed for 4 years;

• Electrix Limited, 15 Unity Drive and Rothwell Avenue, 14,000m

2

renewed for 4 years;

• Instant Offices NZ Limited, 105 Carlton Gore Road for 1,102m

on a new 8 year lease;

• The Warehouse, Albany Mega Centre, 908m

2

renewed for 3 years;

• The Warehouse, Taupo, 4,212m

2

renewed for 5 years;

• NIWA, 82 Wyndham Street, 2,650m

on a new 12 year lease

• Colgate Palmolive, 105 Carlton Gore Road for 561m

2

on a new 6 year lease;

• Stantec New Zealand, 105 Carlton Gore Road for 1,647m

2

on a new 8 year lease;

• Harbour Cancer Centre, 105 Carlton Gore Road for 772m

2

on a new 12 year lease; and

• Mainfreight Limited, 32 Bell Avenue, 8,138m

2

on a 13 month extension.

Peter Mence said ” We have retained important tenants, with a retention rate above 85%, as well as

attracting very good new tenants to the portfolio.

The softer leasing environment identified at our interim results has persisted over the second half of

the financial year. This weakness was offset to a degree by the ongoing strong bottom-up

fundamentals for the Auckland Industrial sub-sector. This sector continues to show low forecast

vacancy and positive rental growth, coupled with a large reduction in forecast new supply. The

Industrial sector is forecast to deliver solid returns over the next three years and we will increase our

focus on this sector.

Our portfolio is 51% weighted to Industrial and our pipeline of green Value Add development Industrial

sites, such as 224 Neilson Street which is now under construction, continues to improve portfolio

quality and resilience over the longer term.”

Divestment of non Core Assets

The non Core asset at 10 Transport Place, East Tamaki, was sold during the second half of the year

for $38 million, at a pleasing 7.3% premium to 31 March 2023 book value. Other non Core properties

at 302 & 308 Great South Road were sold for $19.9 million. 8 Forge Way, Auckland, was also sold for

$35.2 million and is expected to settle 25 March 2025. All proceeds will initially be used to reduce bank

debt.

Investment Policy Bands

During the year, the Board and Management made a strategic decision to adjust Argosy’s Investment

Policy target bands to increase the portfolio weighting towards the Industrial sector and reduce the

weighting to Wellington Office. Accordingly, by portfolio value, the Industrial target is now 60-70% (was

55-65%), Office is now 20-30% (was 25-35%). There is no change to our Large Format Retail band of

5-15%.

Peter Mence said “As you would expect, we consistently monitor changes in the external environment.

We have continued to undertake regular assessment of Value Add opportunities within the portfolio,

supported by external research & analysis of forecast sector returns.

Auckland Industrial is forecast to be one of the best performing sectors over the medium to longer

term. The benefit of having a diversified portfolio is that it allows us to adjust our weightings and

allocations based on longer term trends.

The combination of delivering on our Value Add opportunities and strategic acquisitions and

divestments along the way, means that we expect to be close to or within our new target bands over

the next five years.”

Developments

224 Neilson Street

This project is the first of Argosy’s Value Add green industrial estates and is now under development.

On a 3.5ha site and with an expected value on completion of over $110 million, this will be Argosy’s

largest industrial build to date, when completed in late 2025. This new investment comes at a time

when parts of the Auckland region are facing the lowest levels of industrial building construction for

over a decade. It is strategically located 8km from the Auckland CBD, with excellent access to both

motorway networks. The project is being developed in two phases and is ultimately expected to total

around 17,200m

2

of warehouse NLA. The first phase is a 5,000m

2

warehouse targeting completion by

March 2025 with phase two, a 12,2 00m

2

warehouse, expected to be delivered by the end of 2025.

Both high stud, column free warehouses are targeting 6 Green Star Design and As Built ratings. The

design team have incorporated a wide range of green initiatives to help achieve the 6 Star rating,

including low carbon concrete, rainwater harvesting, solar electricity generation and intelligent lighting

and air conditioning. Furthermore, with approximately 1,750 solar panels generating over 1.2GWh of

energy annually, on completion the facility will have one of the largest rooftop photovoltaic installations

in the country.

“The development is underway and the level of tenant leasing enquiry is encouraging with strong

market demand for modern, well located and sustainable buildings. Sustainability driven projects like

224 Neilson Street, coupled with strong market fundamentals for Industrial property over the long term,

positions us very well for the future.” said Peter Mence.

Mt Richmond

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

industrial precinct of Mt Wellington, only 15km from the Auckland CBD. The Mt Richmond development

remains an important part of our long term strategy given our positive view of the Industrial sector over

the long term. With the 224 Neilson Street development now underway, potential commencement of

the Mt Richmond development has been deferred and the current leases extended.

Capital Management

As at 31 March, Argosy’s debt to total assets ratio, excluding capitalised borrowing costs, was 36.5%

1


compared to 35.1% at 31 March 2023.

The ratio reflects the net impact of revaluation losses, divestments and development activity during the

period. Argosy’s year end gearing sits towards the middle of its target gearing band of 30-40%, and

well below its bank covenant of 50%.

During the period Argosy increased and extended its syndicated bank facilities with ANZ Bank of New

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

Commonwealth Bank of Australia, Westpac New Zealand Limited and Industrial and Commercial Bank

of China Limited. The total amount of the bank facilities are $ 525 million.


1

The ratio excludes the right of use asset at 39 Market Place of $40.0 million, recorded in the period under NZ IFRS 16.


6

Argosy’s weighted average debt tenor, including bonds, was 2.3 years (3.2 years at 31 March 2023)

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

5.59% (5.39% at 31 March 2023).

Strategy

Jeff Morrison said: “Our vision of building a better future for all our stakeholders remains unchanged.

We aim to build a better future for our tenants by creating modern spaces where their businesses and

their staff can thrive and grow. We strive to build a better future for the environment through our

commitment to sustainability and reducing our carbon footprint.

For our shareholders, we build a better future through our strategy of creating a resilient business

through various economic cycles delivering sustainable dividends. Our strategy also provides

diversified exposure to a quality portfolio of commercial real estate. Greening our portfolio towards

more sustainable buildings, with appropriate certifications validating their quality, will drive long term

value. For our people, we aim to provide pathways and opportunities to help them develop, grow and

succeed.

The adjustment to Argosy’s Investment Policy bands, increasing our target weighting to Auckland

Industrial, reflects the Boards belief in the positive long term structural trends in this sector. We will

consequently reduce our weighting to the Wellington Office market over time.”

Succession Planning

Jeff Morrison said “The Board is very focused on the current and future success of the business. A key

part of this is ensuring there is appropriate succession planning in place at both the Board and

Executive levels. The Remuneration Committee has transitioned to a Remuneration and Nominations

Committee and is developing a longer term succession plan for Directors and Senior Management that

will position the business well to continue to deliver solid and reliable results for shareholders.”

Dividends and Outlook

A fourth quarter dividend of 1.6625 cents per share has been declared for the March quarter with

imputation credits of 0.1633 cents per share attached. This brings the full year dividend to 6.65 cents

per share in line with previous guidance. The fourth quarter dividend will be paid to shareholders on 26

June 2024 and the record date will be 12 June 2024. The Dividend Reinvestment Plan remains

suspended by the Board until further notice.

Jeff Morrison said “The Board is mindful of maintaining a balance between delivering on near term

objectives and the delivery of longer term goals. Dividend guidance for FY25 is 6.65 cents per share,

consistent with the FY24 year. The Company is facing an environment of continuing restrictive interest

rates and softening market conditions, and some increasing property costs in Wellington. The removal

of tax depreciation on buildings from FY25 also imposes a significant additional tax impost on Argosy.

Based on current projections for the portfolio, including the sale of 39 Market Place, we are targeting

the dividend to stay within the top end of our dividend policy range of 85-100% of Adjusted Funds from

Operations over a three year rolling period.

As we look to the year ahead, the economic environment for FY25 looks demanding for business and

consumers. We recognise the team has challenges ahead of them. We expect them to remain focused


7

on delivering on the key operational metrics that drive earnings and dividend sustainability. These

include a focus on leasing up current vacancies, addressing near term lease expiries and making good

progress with our new green industrial project at Neilson Street.

Our key strategic goal around greening the portfolio remains a key focus, to support resilient and

sustainable dividend growth to shareholders over the long term.”

SOUND RESULT

•Net distributable income for the year was

$55.8m compared to $64.2m in the prior

comparable period

•The variance from last year was driven

primarily due to higher interest costs and

higher taxation

•The prior comparable period also benefited

from the receipt of a $3.0m settlement for

the failed sale of the Albany Lifestyle

Market Insights

• Softer period of both supply and demand currently as

projected for 2024 as both occupiers and developers struggle

• Limited land supply in Auckland and Wellington continues

pressure on land values, with prime sites holding their value

• Rent continues to show some growth in well specified and

well located assets

• Vacancy remains very low, with limited speculative supply

and with little expansion capacity

• Modest reduction in construction costs reduces rental growth

pressure

INDUSTRIAL

• Flexible working environments continue but working from

home and full-time remote work are declining

• Changes in the way space is used, focusing on the

environment, now a staff attraction matter

• Continued focus from tenants on sustainability/green

• Increase in desire for flexibility in lease terms from tenants

• Wellington vacancy levels have increased and are expected

to increase further, particularly in secondary locations and for

poorer quality stock (seismic issues)

OFFICE

• Retail turnover rates have declined significantly on a per

capita basis

• Discretionary lines showing a significant drop in sales

• Online proportion of total sales continues to reduce

• Large Format Retail continues to receive solid demand in

prime locations

• "Moving of the deck chairs" as market share changes

• Retailers consolidating to a fewer number of locations

• Increased costs of operation are giving affordability issues

CHAIRMAN

“The Board is satisfied with the way the business,

management team and staff have performed despite

continued weak operating conditions.”

Argosy Property LimitedAnnual Report 202416

Chairman's review

On behalf of the Board of Directors, it is my pleasure
to present Argosy’s 2024 Annual Report.

Inflation remains outside the Reserve Bank’s target band, and

consequently interest rates remain at a higher level. These

high rates have clearly had a negative influence on property

values. As a Board, we are pleased by the progress Argosy

continues to make towards our sustainability goals evidenced

by the green buildings completed, certifications achieved, and

future new developments.

We also maintained or improved NABERSNZ ratings across

rated assets and retained our MSCI ESG Green Rating at AA.

We are increasing our focus on the potential impacts of climate

change on the business. Argosy’s diversified portfolio remains

resilient and the 34% weighting by income to the Government

sector provides a measure of earnings defensiveness. Our

portfolio metrics remain sound, although we acknowledge the

coming year will certainly be more challenging.

The Board is comfortable with the company's capital position

and balance sheet strength over the medium term, having

made several strategic asset divestments through the year,

all at or in excess of book values. The business has sufficient

funding capacity to accommodate short term development

requirements and strategic acquisition opportunities should

they arise.

Argosy continues to deliver an investment strategy focused

on a diversified high quality portfolio underpinned by our

sustainability strategy. Key policy targets are an increased

weighting in Auckland Industrial and a reduced weighting in

Wellington Office. Our commitment to building a better future,

particularly for our tenants and the environment, is unchanged.

The Board considers the business to be in a sound position.

Based on current projections for the portfolio and subject to

delivery against strategic objectives and market conditions,

which we acknowledge remain uncertain, the dividend guidance

for FY25 is 6.65 cents per share, consistent with this

financial year.

Governance & Succession Planning

Argosy’s Annual Shareholders Meeting (ASM) will be held as a

hybrid meeting on 18 June at 2pm at the Royal New Zealand

Yacht Squadron in Auckland. Argosy continues to utilise the

hybrid functionality of the ASM. It allows shareholders to

attend virtually and participate in all elements of the meeting

including questions and answers and completing all voting.

Stuart McLauchlan and myself will both retire in accordance

with the Company’s constitution and the NZX Listing Rules and

will be eligible for re-election.

The Board is very focused on the current and future success of

the business. A key part of this is ensuring there is appropriate

succession planning in place at both the Board and Executive

levels. The Remuneration Committee has transitioned to a

Remuneration and Nominations Committee and is developing

a longer term succession plan for Directors and Senior

Management that will position the business well to continue to

deliver solid and reliable results for shareholders.

Dividends

A fourth quarter dividend of 1.6625 cents per share has been

declared for the March quarter with imputation credits of 0.1633

cents per share attached. This brings the full year dividend

to 6.65 cents per share in line with previous guidance. The

fourth quarter dividend will be paid to shareholders on 26 June

2024 and the record date will be 12 June 2024. The Dividend

Reinvestment Plan remains suspended by the Board until

further notice.

The Board is mindful of maintaining a balance between

delivering on near term objectives and the delivery of longer

term goals. Dividend guidance for FY25 is 6.65 cents per

share, consistent with the FY24 year. The Company is facing

an environment of continuing restrictive interest rates and

softening market conditions, and some increasing property

costs in Wellington. The removal of tax depreciation on

buildings from FY25 also imposes a significant additional tax

impost on Argosy. Based on current projections for the portfolio,

including the sale of 39 Market Place, we are targeting the

dividend to stay within the top end of our dividend policy range

of 85-100% of Adjusted Funds from Operations over a three

year rolling period.

Outlook

As we look to the year ahead, the economic environment

for FY25 looks demanding for business and consumers. We

recognise the team has challenges ahead of them. We expect

them to remain focused on delivering on the key operational

metrics that drive earnings and dividend sustainability. These

include a focus on leasing up current vacancies, addressing

near term lease expiries and making good progress with our

new green industrial project at Neilson Street.

Our strategic goal around greening the portfolio remains a key

focus, to support resilient and sustainable dividend growth to

shareholders over the long term.

Annual Report 2022Argosy Property Limited

We delivered on all of our operational focus areas around

vacancies, key expiries and completing developments. We also

divested non-core buildings during the year at healthy premiums

to book value. Our core portfolio metrics have remained sound

despite the operational environment being so difficult for

everyone.

8-14 Willis Street has now been handed over to Statistics New

Zealand. At a total cost o

f $xm, the handover sees Argosy complete

its largest green development project in its history. If we achieve

our target 6 Green Stars the building will certainly be the jewel in

our crown. The Wellington office market continues to exhibit

strong fundamentals which we don’t see waning for some time.

Our ongoing exposure to Government rental streams provides a

high degree of certainty and stability during uncertain times.

Master planning at Argosy’s two key Auckland industrial estates

at Mt Richmond Road and Neilson Street are progressing and we

are fielding a lot of market inquiry for these sites which will be

repurposed into green industrial estates. We’re excited about the

potential these sustainably focused properties bring to the

portfolio and the cross section of new industrial tenants showing

interest. We think strong industrial fundamentals and the fact the

sector is forecast to be the best performer over the next five years

is underpinning occupier interest.

The balance of the portfolio is in excellent shape. Argosy’s capital

structure is sound and we have capacity to execute on

opportunities as they arise. However, with interest rates rising it

we are focusing more on our organic value add development

pipeline. Given the pipeline of work we see ahead, we’ve

resourced the business and development team up accordingly.

Highlights

Key highlights for the period include:


Continued focus on sustainability and green developments;


Record interim net profit after tax of $xx.0 million;


Net property income for the period up xx%;


High occupancy (~9x%) and WALT (5.x years);


Strong portfolio leasing and rent review outcomes, including

xx% annualised rental growth on rents reviewed;


7WQ in Wellington is now 100% leased;


$xx million annual revaluation gain, an increase of x% on book

value;


Increase in NTA per share to $1.xx from $1.53 at 31 March 2021,

a xx% increase; and


FY23 dividend guidance of 6.65 cents per share under the new

dividend policy which commenced from 1 April 2022.

Financial Results

Statement of Comprehensive Income

For the 12 months to 31 March, Argosy reported net property

income of $xx million for the period, up x% compared with the

prior comparable period.

Solid like for like rental growth was bolstered by a full year

contribution from Mt Richmond and lower Covid-19 rent rebates

over the period, partially offset by disposals.

For the year to 31 March, Argosy provided for $x million in rental

abatements to tenants and no deferrals.

Net interest expense of $xx million was up/down by $xx million

on the prior comparable period, primarily due to xxx [lower

overall debt levels and higher capitalised interest].

Annual valuations for the year to 31 March were performed by

CBRE, Colliers International New Zealand Limited, Bayleys and

Jones Lang Lasalle. The total unrealised revaluation gain for the

year to 31 March was $xx million or a xx% increase above book

value. The portfolio is x% under-rented, excluding market rent

on vacant space.

Current tax expense was higher / lower due to large deductions

recorded in the prior comparable period and the non-assessable

deposit for the Albany Lifestyle Centre.

Distributable Income

Net distributable income for the year was $xx million compared

to $.0 million in the prior comparable period.

Valuations

The work performed by the valuers resulted in an annual

revaluation uplift of $x million, or a x% increase above book value.

By location, Auckland was the largest contributor to the total year

end valuation results with an unrealised revaluation increase of

$x million or 84% of the total portfolio uplift. By sector, and at

~50% of Argosy’s portfolio by value Industrial was the key driver

of the overall gain at $x million, up x% on book value. The Office

portfolio increased $x million, and Large Format Retail increased

by $x million.

As a result of the FY22 revaluation gain, Argosy’s NTA increased

to $1.xx, or xx% from $1.64 at 31 March 2021. Following the

revaluation, Argosy’s portfolio shows a contract yield on values of

5.xx% and a yield on fully let market rentals of 5.xx%.

Outlook

With the economy facing a range of headwinds, the next 6-12

months will be challenging for the domestic economy, but we’re

ready for it. We’ll continue to work hard on the things we can

control. On the operational side this is leasing up vacancies and

renewing expiring leases. On the strategic side, we’ll keep

working closely with our tenants and supporting their growth

aspirations, completing our existing green projects and master

planning and development of our value add opportunities. All of

these support the delivery of our ten year strategic plan and

sustainable distributions to shareholders.

I look forward to updating all our stakeholders at our Annual

Meeting in June.

NET PROPERTY INCOME
$116.5m

Up 3.3% for the period

The business is in good shape with a solid capital

position. Whilst we experienced positive leasing and

rent review results over the period, the extended

time to close leasing opportunities persisted and we

expect this to continue for the FY25 financial year.

KEY METRICS FOR THE PERIOD INCLUDE:

•Net property income for the period of $116.5 million, up 3.3%

on the prior comparable period;

•$111.7 million revaluation loss for the 12 months to 31 March

($50.8 million recognised in the first half), down 5.4% on

book value, contributing to a full year net loss after tax of

$55.3 million;

•Net distributable income of $55.8 million vs. $64.2 million

for the prior comparable period;

•Sound portfolio metrics, with occupancy at 96.7% and WALT

of 5.2 years;

•NTA per share of $1.45, from $1.58 at 31 March 2023;

•Portfolio gearing steady at 36.5%, near the middle of the

target band of 30-40%;

•Divested four non Core assets for $93.1 million, achieving

above book value;

•Successful portfolio leasing and rent review outcomes,

including 3.5% annualised rental growth on rents reviewed

and 85% tenant retention rate;

•Execution of strategy, including obtaining 6 Green Star

Built and 5.5 NABERSNZ certification on 8-14 Willis Street,

commencement of 224 Neilson Street targeting 6 Green

Stars and continuing the company’s portfolio transformation

and progress to a 50% green portfolio by 2031; and

•FY25 dividend guidance of 6.65 cents per share, in line with

the prior year.

Although our portfolio occupancy at 96.7% is solid, the

next 12 months is expected to be challenging in a weaker

economic environment as we seek to address near term expiries

and vacancy.

We're pleased with the way our Health & Safety framework is

working, and we’ll continue to work collaboratively with our key

stakeholders towards our goal of zero harm. We are seeing

increased market interest and demand for green buildings,

particularly in relation to our current industrial development

project at Neilson Street.

We have adjusted our Investment Policy target bands, with

a 5% increase to our Auckland Industrial weighting and a

commensurate reduction to Wellington Office. The continued

favourable characteristics of the Industrial sector, coupled with

growing demand for green buildings will see the portfolio well

placed to benefit from these drivers over the long term.

Financial Results

STATEMENT OF COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

For the 12 months to 31 March, Argosy reported net property

income of $116.5 million for the period, up $3.7 million or 3.3%

compared with the prior comparable period.

Net property income was bolstered by solid like-for-like rental

growth, driven by contributions from rent reviews and income

from completed developments.

Net interest expense of $43.7 million was up $7.4 million on the

prior comparable period, primarily due to higher floating rates,

higher average debt and lower capitalised interest.

Annual valuations for the year to 31 March 2024 were performed

by CBRE Limited and Colliers International New Zealand

Limited. The total unrealised revaluation loss for the year to

31 March was $111.7 million or 5.4% on book value. In general,

portfolio capitalisation rate softening of 37 basis points to

6.21% was the key driver of revaluation decrease. Of the annual

decline, $50.8 million was recognised in the interim result at

30 September 2023.

By sector, Industrial decreased $51.2 million or 4.8%. The Office

portfolio declined by $49.9 million or 6.1% and Large Format

Retail declined by $10.6 million or 5.1%. The portfolio is 8.6%

under-rented, excluding market rent on developments.

As a result of the FY24 revaluations, Argosy’s NTA declined

to $1.45 per share from $1.58 at 31 March 2023. Following the

revaluation, Argosy’s portfolio shows a contract yield on values

of 6.05% and a yield on fully let market rentals of 6.73%.

The revaluation loss contributed to the net loss after tax of

$55.3 million, compared to a net loss of $80.8 million in FY23.

DISTRIBUTABLE INCOME

Net distributable income for the year was $55.8 million

compared to $64.2 million in the prior comparable period

(which included a $3.0 million settlement for the failed sale of

the Albany Lifestyle Centre).

Portfolio Metrics, Rent Reviews and Leasing

Peter Mence said “The full year has definitely been influenced

by a tougher economic environment. However, the team has

delivered solid results across our core operating metrics.”

As at 31 March, Argosy’s WALT was 5.2 years and portfolio

occupancy was 96.7%.

For the period to 31 March 2024, Argosy completed 115 rent

reviews, achieving annualised rental growth of 3.5%. These

reviews were achieved on rents totalling $93.1 million.

On rents subject to review by sector, Argosy achieved

annualised rental growth of 3.4% for Industrial rent reviews,

3.5% for Office rent reviews and 4.0% for Large Format Retail

rent reviews.

For the period to 31 March 2024, 65% of rents reviewed were

subject to fixed reviews, 28% were market reviews and 7% were

CPI based.

Argosy completed 44 leasing transactions across 151,660m2 of

NLA over the period to 31 March. Lease transactions were made

up of 20 new leases, 21 renewals and 3 extensions.

Peter Mence said "We have retained important tenants, with a

retention rate above 85%, as well as attracting very good new

tenants to the portfolio.

The softer leasing environment identified at our interim results

has persisted over the second half of the financial year. This

weakness was offset to a degree by the ongoing strong bottom-

up fundamentals for the Auckland Industrial sub-sector. This

sector continues to show low forecast vacancy and positive

rental growth, coupled with a large reduction in forecast new

supply. The Industrial sector is forecast to deliver solid returns

over the next three years and we will increase our focus on

this sector.

Our portfolio is 51% weighted to Industrial and our pipeline of

green Value Add development Industrial sites, such as 224

Neilson Street which is now under construction, continues to

improve portfolio quality and resilience over the longer term.”

Investment Policy Bands

During the year, the Board and Management made a strategic

decision to adjust Argosy’s Investment Policy target bands to

increase the portfolio weighting towards the Industrial sector

and reduce the weighting to Wellington Office. Accordingly,

by portfolio value, the Industrial target is now 60-70% (was

55-65%), Office is now 20-30% (was 25-35%). There is no

change to our Large Format Retail band of 5-15%.

Peter Mence said “As you would expect, we consistently

monitor changes in the external environment. We have

continued to undertake regular assessment of Value Add

opportunities within the portfolio, supported by external

research & analysis of forecast sector returns.

Auckland Industrial is forecast to be one of the best performing

sectors over the medium to longer term. The benefit of having a

diversified portfolio is that it allows us to adjust our weightings

and allocations based on longer term trends.

The combination of delivering on our Value Add opportunities

and strategic acquisitions and divestments along the way,

means that we expect to be close to or within our new target

bands over the next five years.”

Value Add Developments

NEILSON STREET, ONEHUNGA

This project is the first of Argosy’s Value Add green industrial

estates and is now under development. On a 3.5 hectare site

and with an expected value on completion of over $110 million,

this will be Argosy’s largest industrial build to date, when

completed in late 2025. This new investment comes at a

time when parts of the Auckland region are facing the lowest

levels of industrial building construction for over a decade.

It is strategically located 8km from the Auckland CBD, with

excellent access to both motorway networks. The project is

being developed in two phases and is ultimately expected to

total around 17,200m

2

of warehouse NLA. The first phase is a

5,000m

2

warehouse targeting completion by March 2025 with

phase two, a 12,200m

2

warehouse expected to be delivered by

the end of 2025.

Both high stud, column free warehouses are targeting 6 Green

Star Design and As Built ratings. The design team have

incorporated a wide range of green initiatives to help achieve

the 6 Star rating, including low carbon concrete, rainwater

harvesting, solar electricity generation and intelligent lighting

and air conditioning. Furthermore, with approximately 1,750

solar panels generating over 1.2GWh of energy annually, on

completion the facility will have one of the largest rooftop

photovoltaic installations in the country.

“The development is underway and the level of tenant leasing

enquiry is encouraging with strong market demand for modern,

well located and sustainable buildings. Sustainability driven

projects like 224 Neilson Street, coupled with strong market

fundamentals for Industrial property over the long term,

positions us very well for the future.” said Peter Mence.

MT RICHMOND

Master Planning continues at this 10.6 hectare Value Add

green development site in the central industrial precinct of

Mt Wellington, only 15km from the Auckland CBD. The Mt

Richmond development remains an important part of our

long term strategy given our positive view of the Industrial

sector over the long term. With the 224 Neilson Street
development now underway, potential commencement of the

Mt Richmond development has been deferred and the current

leases extended.

DIVESTMENT OF NON CORE ASSETS

The non Core asset at 10 Transport Place, East Tamaki, was

sold during the second half of the year for $38 million, at a

pleasing 7.3% premium to 31 March 2023 book value. Other

non Core properties at 302 & 308 Great South Road were

sold for $19.9 million. 8 Forge Way, Auckland, was also sold

for $35.2 million and is expected to settle 25 March 2025. All

proceeds will initially be used to reduce bank debt.

CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

As at 31 March, Argosy’s debt to total assets ratio, excluding

capitalised borrowing costs, was 36.5% compared to 35.1% at

31 March 2023. The ratio reflects the net impact of revaluation

losses, divestments and development activity during the period.

Argosy’s year end gearing sits towards the middle of its target

gearing band of 30-40%, and well below its bank covenant

of 50%.

During the period Argosy increased and extended its

syndicated bank facilities with ANZ Bank of New Zealand

Limited, Bank of New Zealand Limited, The Hongkong

and Shanghai Banking Corporation, Commonwealth Bank of

Australia, Westpac New Zealand Limited and Industrial and

Commercial Bank of China Limited. The total amount of the

bank facilities are $525 million.

Argosy’s weighted average debt tenor, including bonds, was 2.3

years (3.2 years at 31 March 2023) with the nearest tranche of

bank debt expiring in April 2025. The weighted average interest

rate was 5.59% (5.39% at 31 March 2023).

OUTLOOK

Despite a muted outlook for the next 12 months, we

remain confident in and committed to, the delivery of our

long term strategy, including the payment of sustainable

dividends to shareholders and building a better future for all

our stakeholders.

Annual Report 2022Argosy Property Limited

We delivered on all of our operational focus areas around

vacancies, key expiries and completing developments. We also

divested non-core buildings during the year at healthy premiums

to book value. Our core portfolio metrics have remained sound

despite the operational environment being so difficult for

everyone.

8-14 Willis Street has now been handed over to Statistics New

Zealand. At a total cost o

f $xm, the handover sees Argosy complete

its largest green development project in its history. If we achieve

our target 6 Green Stars the building will certainly be the jewel in

our crown. The Wellington office market continues to exhibit

strong fundamentals which we don’t see waning for some time.

Our ongoing exposure to Government rental streams provides a

high degree of certainty and stability during uncertain times.

Master planning at Argosy’s two key Auckland industrial estates

at Mt Richmond Road and Neilson Street are progressing and we

are fielding a lot of market inquiry for these sites which will be

repurposed into green industrial estates. We’re excited about the

potential these sustainably focused properties bring to the

portfolio and the cross section of new industrial tenants showing

interest. We think strong industrial fundamentals and the fact the

sector is forecast to be the best performer over the next five years

we are focusing more on our organic value add development

Jones Lang Lasalle. The total unrealised revaluation gain for the

year to 31 March was $xx million or a xx% increase above book

5.xx% and a yield on fully let market rentals of 5.xx%.

Outlook

With the economy facing a range of headwinds, the next 6-12

months will be challenging for the domestic economy, but we’re

ready for it. We’ll continue to work hard on the things we can

control. On the operational side this is leasing up vacancies and

renewing expiring leases. On the strategic side, we’ll keep

working closely with our tenants and supporting their growth

aspirations, completing our existing green projects and master

planning and development of our value add opportunities. All of

these support the delivery of our ten year strategic plan and

sustainable distributions to shareholders.

I look forward to updating all our stakeholders at our Annual

Meeting in June.

Argosy Property LimitedAnnual Report 202421

Management report

Investment Framework
Argosy has a Clearly Defined Investment Strategy

Argosy is, and will remain, invested in a portfolio that is

diversified by sector, location and tenant mix. The Investment

Strategy is unchanged and Argosy’s portfolio will continue to

consist primarily of Core and Value Add properties.

Core

Core properties are well constructed, well located assets which

are intended to be long-term investments of more than 10

years. The Core properties target is between 75% to 90% of the

portfolio by value. Core properties are well located with strong

long-term generic demand, a leasing profile that provides for

rental growth of at least CPI and good structural integrity with

minimal maintenance capital expenditure required.

Value Add

Value Add properties are assets which, through skilled asset

management, can increase future earnings and provide capital

growth. Value Add properties will already be well located

with the potential for strong long-term tenant demand. These

properties are available for near to medium-term repositioning

or development with the view to moving into the Core category.

Investment Policy

The Investment Policy clearly defines what properties Argosy

will seek to own by setting the boundaries within which it

will operate and invest. It delivers a clear acquisition checklist

and every potential acquisition (and portfolio asset) can be

measured against that checklist.

In some cases, a portfolio of assets may be considered for

acquisition. The strategy for a potential portfolio acquisition

must be consistent with the overall Argosy Portfolio Investment

Strategy (i.e. the majority by value of the properties are either

Core or offer potential to move to Core in the medium-term).

In certain circumstances, exceptions to the Investment Policy

may be considered where an acquisition is made to meet the

requirements of a valued tenant.

Investment Policy target bands also reflect development

opportunities over the medium-term and the effect on overall

portfolio composition. The Industrial target is 60-70%, Office is

20-30% and the Large Format Retail target is 5-15%. Argosy’s

diversified portfolio of quality properties has an average value of

$39.5 million. Liquid properties, which are properties that could

potentially be under contract within a short period, currently

represent 18% of the portfolio or $362 million.

Capital Management

The optimal capital structure for Argosy is one that enables it

to maximise its earnings yield through the property cycle within

the following parameters:

•properties can be acquired when they meet the approved

Investment Policy criteria, or sold when they are non Core;

•there are no forced sales of properties or a requirement to

issue equity at a price that is dilutive to shareholders;

•measured dividend growth is maintained.

Argosy’s debt-to-total assets ratio target band remains at

30-40%. This band allows Argosy flexibility to react to changing

financial and property market conditions. Any movement

beyond pre-set parameters requires an action plan and

timeframe to move debt levels to within the prescribed range.

Risk Management

Argosy strives to deliver reliable and attractive returns to

shareholders. It takes a considered approach to development,

acquisition, divestment, leasing and capital management

decisions, reflecting its proposition to shareholders as a yield-

based investment.

Argosy has a robust risk assessment process. Risk assessment

reviews are carried out by a representative cross-section

of Argosy’s management team at least twice a year in

accordance with Argosy’s Risk Management Framework. A

risk assessment review has three phases: identification of

material risks arising from Argosy’s operation; assessment of

the probability and consequences of the risk; and development

of controls to achieve a level of residual risk that is within

Argosy’s risk appetite.

Argosy generally operates within a medium, low to very low

overall risk range. Argosy has a low risk appetite for risks

associated with managing developments, Value Add projects

and compliance matters. Please also refer pages 73-74 of

Argosy Property LimitedAnnual Report 202437

1. Reporting entity
Argosy Property Limited (APL or the Company) is an FMC

Reporting Entity under the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013

and the Financial Reporting Act 2013. APL is incorporated under

the Companies Act 1993 and domiciled in New Zealand.

The Company's principal activity is investment in properties

which include Industrial, Office and Large Format Retail

properties, predominantly in Auckland and Wellington.

These financial statements are the consolidation of APL and its

subsidiaries (the Group).

2. Basis of preparation

STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance

with Generally Accepted Accounting Practice in New Zealand

(NZ GAAP). The accounting policies applied in these financial

statements comply with New Zealand equivalents to IFRS

Accounting Standards (NZ IFRS) and other applicable Financial

Reporting Standards issued and effective at the time of

preparing these statements as applicable to the Company as

a profit-oriented entity. These Group financial statements also

comply with IFRS Accounting Standards.

These financial statements were approved by the Board of

Directors on 21 May 2024.

BASIS OF MEASUREMENT

The financial statements have been prepared on the historical

cost basis except for derivative financial instruments and

investment properties which are measured at fair value.

USE OF ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with NZ

IFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates

that affect the application of policies and reported amount of

assets and liabilities, income and expenses. The area involving

a higher degree of complexity and where assumptions and

estimates are significant to the financial statements is note 5

- valuation of investment property.

FUNCTIONAL AND PRESENTATION CURRENCY

These financial statements are presented in New Zealand

dollars which is the Company’s functional currency and have

been rounded to the nearest thousand dollars ($000).

BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION

The Group’s financial statements incorporate the financial

statements of APL and its controlled subsidiaries as set out

in note 24. Control is achieved when the Company has power

over the investee; is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns

from its involvement with the investee, and has the ability

to use its power to affect its returns. The results of the

subsidiaries are included in the consolidated statement of

comprehensive income from the date of acquisition which is

the date the Company became entitled to income from the

subsidiaries acquired. All significant intercompany transactions

are eliminated on consolidation.

STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS

The statement of cash flows is prepared on a GST exclusive

basis, which is consistent with the statement of comprehensive

income. The following terms are used in the statement of

cash flows:

Operating activities are the principal revenue producing

activities of the Group and other activities that are not investing

or financing activities.

Investing activities are the acquisition and disposal of

long term assets and other investments not included in

cash equivalents.

Financing activities are activities that result in changes

in the size and composition of the contributed equity and

borrowings of the entity. Termination payments for swap

contracts, establishment fees, extension fees and arranger fees

are considered financing activities as they effect a change in the

company’s borrowing arrangements.

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances and

demand deposits. Bank overdrafts that are repayable on

demand and form an integral part of the Group’s cash

management are included as a component of cash and cash

equivalents for the purpose of the statement of cash flows.

3.

 Material accounting policies

CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Accounting policies and methods of computation have been

applied consistently to all periods and by all Group entities.

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS ADOPTED

At the date of authorisation of these financial statements,

the Group has not applied any new and revised NZ IFRS

standards and amendments that have been issued but are not

yet effective.

In April 2024, the International Accounting Standards Board

introduced IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial

Statements (effective for reporting periods beginning on or after

1 January 2027). This standard replaces IAS 1 Presentation of

Financial Statements.  An equivalent NZ IFRS has not yet been

issued. The Group has not yet assessed the impact of IFRS 18.

The Financial Sector (Climate-related Disclosures and Other

Matters) Amendment Act 2021 (FSCD) has introduced a

climate-related disclosure framework in New Zealand. It

mandates climate-related disclosures for climate reporting

entities. APL is classified as a climate reporting entity under

this framework. On 31 December 2022, the External Reporting

Board released climate standards and guidance documents.

The Group is required to make climate-related disclosures at

the end of the accounting period starting from 1 April 2023.

CAPTIVE INSURER

On 31 July 2023, Argosy Cover Limited (ACL), a wholly owned

subsidiary of APL was incorporated in the Cook Islands. ACL

acts as a captive insurer for the Group.

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

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

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

segments and assess their performance.

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

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

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

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

 Investment properties

ACCOUNTING POLICY – INVESTMENT PROPERTIES

Investment property is property held to earn rental income.

Investment property is initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at fair value with any change therein recognised

in profit or loss.

Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating and arranging operating leases and lease incentives granted are added to the

carrying amount of the leased asset.

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

independent registered valuers. The valuation policy stipulates that the same valuer may not value a building for more than

two consecutive years. The fair values are based on market values being the estimated amount for which a property could be

exchanged on the date of the valuation between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm’s length transaction after proper

marketing wherein the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion.

The valuations are prepared using a combination of the Capitalisation of Contract Income, Capitalisation of Market Income

and Discounted Cash Flow methodologies. Discounted Cash Flow methodology is based on the estimated rental cash flows

expected to be received from the property adjusted by a discount rate that appropriately reflects the risks inherent in the

expected cash flows.

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

lease that exists over 39 Market Place, Viaduct Harbour, Auckland.

Investment properties are derecognised when they have been disposed of and any gains or losses incurred on disposal are

recognised in profit or loss in the year of derecognition.

Borrowing costs directly attributable to property under development are capitalised as part of the cost of those assets.

5. Investment properties (continued)
All investment properties were independently valued as at 31 March 2024 in accordance with the Group's valuation policy. The

valuations were prepared by independent registered valuers Colliers International New Zealand Limited and CBRE Limited. The total

1,973,8002,144,825

Investment properties are stated at fair value by independent valuers supported by market evidence of property sale transactions

and leasing activity. These valuations are reviewed by the Asset Management team within Argosy. The major inputs and

assumptions that are used in the valuation that require judgement include forecasts of the current and expected future market

rentals and growth, maintenance and capital expenditure requirements, an assessment of yields, discount rates, occupancy, leasing

costs and weighted average lease terms.

In deriving a market value under each approach, all assumptions are based, where possible, on market based evidence and

transactions for properties with similar locations, conditions and quality of construction and fitout.

Generally as occupancy and weighted average lease terms increase, yields firm, resulting in increased fair values for investment

properties. A movement in any of these assumptions could result in a significant change in fair value.

6. Financial instruments
ACCOUNTING POLICY - NON-DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Non-derivative financial instruments comprise trade and other receivables, cash and cash equivalents, borrowings

(comprising of interest bearing liabilities and lease liabilities) and trade and other payables.

Non-derivative financial instruments are initially measured at fair value plus directly attributable costs. Subsequently these

instruments are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The carrying values of these financial

instruments are a reasonable approximation of their fair values.

The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset or financial liability and of

allocating interest income over the relevant period (including all fees and points paid or received between the parties to

the contract that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts)

through the expected life of the financial instrument, or, where appropriate, a shorter period to the net carrying amount of the

financial instrument.

ACCOUNTING POLICY - DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Interest rate swaps are entered into to manage interest rate exposure. For interest rate swaps, the net differential paid or

received is recognised as a component of interest expense in the profit or loss.

Interest rate swaps are initially recognised at zero at the date a derivative contract is entered into and are remeasured to their

fair value at subsequent reporting dates. The resulting gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss immediately.

Interest rate swaps are presented as a non-current asset or a non-current liability if the remaining maturity of the instrument

is more than 12 months and it is not expected to be realised or settled within 12 months. Other interest rate swaps are

presented as current assets or current liabilities.

RISK MANAGEMENT

The use of financial instruments exposes the Group to credit, interest rate and liquidity risks. The Group’s overall risk management

programme focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the Group’s

financial performance.

Credit risk

Credit risk relates to the risk that the counterparty to a financial instrument may default on its obligations to the Group, resulting in

financial loss.

The Group's main exposure to credit risk arises from trade receivables and transactions with financial institutions, and is

summarised in the preceding table. There are no significant concentrations of credit risk in specific receivables due to receivables

mainly comprising a large number of tenants in the Group’s property portfolio and the Group policy to limit the amount of credit

exposure to any financial institution.

The Group manages its exposure to credit risk from trade receivables through its credit policy which includes performing credit

evaluations on customers requiring credit. The Group does not hold any collateral in respect of balances past due. Details of

impairment losses relating to trade receivables together with the ageing of receivables is provided in note 8.

The risk from financial institutions is managed by placing cash and deposits with high credit quality financial institutions only. Cash

deposits are placed with ANZ Bank New Zealand Limited.

Argosy Property LimitedAnnual Report 202444

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

6. Financial instruments (continued)
Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk arises from long term borrowings (refer note 14). Variable rate borrowings expose the Group to cash flow interest

rate risk while fixed rate borrowings expose the Group to fair value interest rate risk.

The Group manages its exposure to interest rate risk through derivatives in the form of both floating-to-fixed and fixed-to-floating

interest rate swaps. These derivatives provide an economic hedge against variability in cash flows as a result of changes in variable

interest rates on borrowings.

The Group’s policy is to maintain a range of approximately 40-100% of its borrowings in fixed interest rate instruments unless

otherwise instructed by the Board of Directors. At year end, 70.9% of borrowings, after the effect of associated swaps, were at fixed

rates (2023: 71.4%).

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group may encounter difficulty in meeting its obligations associated with its financial liabilities that

are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. Liquidity risk mainly arises from the Group’s obligations in respect of long

term borrowings, derivatives and trade and other payables. The Group aims to maintain flexibility in funding by keeping committed

credit lines available (refer note 14).

The expected undiscounted cash flows of the Group’s financial liabilities by remaining contractual maturity at the balance sheet date

is as follows:

1.The undiscounted cashflows on interest bearing liabilities includes interest, margin and line fees.

To manage the Group’s exposure to interest rate risk on variable rate instruments, the Group has implemented a hedging strategy

that uses interest rate swaps that have a range of maturities. At 31 March 2024, the Group had active interest rate derivatives (both

payer and receiver swaps) with a notional contract amount of $750 million (2023: $770 million). The active derivatives mature over

the next 4 years (2023: 5 years). Payer swaps have fixed interest rates ranging from 1.37% to 4.90% (2023: 1.37% to 4.90%). Swaps

with a notional amount of $255 million have been entered into but are not yet effective at 31 March 2024 (2023: $150 million).

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

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

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

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

date use observable inputs.

The net liability for derivative financial instruments as at 31 March 2024 is $20.7 million (2023: $21.3 million). The mark-to-market

decrease in the liability for derivative financial instruments is a result of the movement in the interest rate curve during the

financial year.

7. Other non-current assets

ACCOUNTING POLICY - PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

All property, plant and equipment is stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment

losses. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items.

At the end of each reporting period, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its assets to determine whether there is

any indication that those assets have suffered impairment. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the

asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment (if any). Where it is not possible to estimate the

recoverable mount of an individual asset, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which

the asset belongs.

An impairment is recognised immediately in profit or loss.

8. Trade and other receivables
ACCOUNTING POLICY - TRADE AND OTHER RECEIVABLES

Trade and other receivables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the

effective interest method, less provision for impairment. A provision for impairment of trade receivables is established

to reflect an estimate of amounts that the Group will not be able to collect in accordance with the original terms of the

receivables. The amount of the provision is the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of

estimated future cash flows, discounted at the original effective interest rate.

The average credit period on receivables is 3.1 days (2023: 3.2 days). The Group is entitled to charge interest on trade receivables as

determined in each individual lease agreement. Interest is charged on receivables over 90 days on a case by case basis. The Group

has provided for 50% of all receivables over 90 days unless there is information suggesting that particular amounts are recoverable.

This amount increases to 100% of any receivable that is determined as not being recoverable. Trade receivables less than 90

days are provided for based on estimated non-recoverable amounts, determined by reference to relevant factors, conditions, and

information at reporting date including past default experience.

Capital risk management

The Group's capital includes shares, reserves and retained earnings with total shareholders' funds equal to $1,224.4 million (2023:

$1,335.7 million).

The Group maintains a strong capital base so as to maintain investor, creditor and market confidence and to sustain the Group's

future on-going activities and development of the business. The impact of the level of capital on equity holder returns is also

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

advantages and security afforded by a sound capital position.

The Board's intention is to maintain the debt-to-total-assets ratio between 30-40% in the medium term. The Group's banking

covenants require that the aggregate principal amount of the loan outstanding does not exceed 50% of the fair value of property at

all times. All banking covenants have been met during the year.

The Group manages its capital to ensure that entities in the Group will be able to continue as a going concern while maximising

the return to stakeholders through optimisation of debt and equity. The Group's policies in respect of capital management and

allocation are reviewed regularly by the Board of Directors. There have been no material changes in the Group's overall strategy

during the year.

12. Share based payments reserve
ACCOUNTING POLICY - SHARE BASED PAYMENTS

The fair value of performance share rights (PSRs) are recognised as an expense in the statement of financial performance

over the vesting period of the rights with a corresponding entry to the share based payments reserve.

PSRs were offered to senior executives, commencing 1 April 2015. Under the scheme, PSRs are issued to participants which give

them the right to receive ordinary shares in the Company after a three year period, subject to certain vesting and other conditions

being met. The vesting of the PSRs is subject to the Company achieving a positive total shareholder return (measured against the

Company's share price on the date of the issue of the PSRs, and including dividends) over a three year measurement period. The

total number which actually vest will be dependent on the relative ranking of the Company's total shareholder returns against a

comparator group of listed entities determined by the Board from the S&P/NZX All Real Estate Gross Index.

The total expense recognised in the year to 31 March 2024 in relation to equity settled share based payments was $290,405 (2023:

$500,000). A total of 444,849 (2023: 173,293) PSRs vested during the year and each PSR was converted to one ordinary share at

an issue price of $1.10.

Argosy Property LimitedAnnual Report 202453

20. Deferred tax
ACCOUNTING POLICY - DEFERRED TAX

Deferred tax is recognised on temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the financial

statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit, and is accounted for using the balance

sheet liability method. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences and deferred tax

assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which deductible temporary

differences can be utilised. Such assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from goodwill or

from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affect

neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit.

Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the liability is settled or the

asset realised.

Under NZ IAS 12, the measurement of deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets depends on whether an entity expects

to recover an asset by using it or by selling it and includes a presumption that an investment property is recovered entirely

through sale unless it will be consumed over its useful life.

The following are the major deferred tax liabilities and (assets) recognised by the Group, and the movements thereon during the

Deferred tax is provided in respect of depreciation expected to be recovered on the sale of property at fair value. Depreciation is

claimed at Inland Revenue Department approved rates.

Investment properties are valued each year by independent valuers (as outlined in note 5). These values include an allocation of the

valuation between the land and building components. The calculation of deferred tax on depreciation recovered and changes in fair

value relies on the split provided by the valuers.

It is assumed that all fixtures and fittings will be sold at their tax book value.

25. Leases

ACCOUNTING POLICY - LEASES

The Group as a lessee

Argosy do not recognise right of use assets or lease liabilities for short term leases or low value leases. Lease payments for

these leases are recognised as an expense on a straight line basis over the lease term.

Where Argosy identifies a lease, the following treatment is applied: 

Right of use assets are measured at cost comprising the amount of the initial lease liability, any payments made before the

commencement of the lease, direct costs and any restoration costs. Right of use assets are disclosed within the same line

item as that within which the corresponding underlying assets would be presented if they were owned. Some right of use

assets meet the definition of investment properties. Refer note 5 for policies and disclosure on investment properties.

Lease liabilities are measured at the net present value of the lease payments. These payments include fixed lease payments,

amount expected to be payable under residual value guarantees, variable lease payments that are based on an index or rate,

the exercise price of a purchase option if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise that option, and payments of penalties

for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the lessee exercising that option.

These lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease. If that rate cannot be determined, the

lessee’s incremental borrowing rate is used, being the rate that the lessee would have to pay to borrow the funds necessary to

obtain an asset of similar value in a similar economic environment with similar terms and conditions.

Subsequent to initial measurement, each lease payment is allocated between the principal and finance cost. The finance cost

is charged to the statement of comprehensive income over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of

interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period.

The maturity analysis of lease liabilities is presented in note 6.

The Group as a lessor

Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of

ownership to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases.

The Group has entered into commercial property leases on its investment properties. The Group has determined that

it retains all significant risks and rewards of ownership of these properties and has thus classified these leases as

operating leases.

Rental income from operating leases is recognised in the period to which it relates. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating

and arranging an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and amortised to property expenses

on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

In the event that lease incentives are paid to enter into the operating leases, such incentives are recognised as an asset. The

aggregate cost of incentives is recognised as a reduction of rental revenue on a straight-line basis.

When a contract includes both lease and non-lease components, consideration is allocated to each component under

the contract.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

Independent Auditor’s Report
To the Shareholders A

rgosy Property Limited

Opinion We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Argosy Property Limited and its subsidiaries (the

‘Group’), which comprise the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 March 2024, and the

consolidated statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows

for the year then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including material accounting policy

information.

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements, on pages 34 to 58, present fairly, in all

material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as at 31 March 2024, and its consolidated

financial performance and cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with New Zealand Equivalents to

IFRS Accounting Standards (‘NZ IFRS’) as issued by the External Reporting Board and IFRS Accounting Standards

(‘IFRS’) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

Basis for opinion We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (‘ISAs’) and International

Standards on Auditing (New Zealand) (‘ISAs (NZ)’). Our responsibilities under those standards are further

described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our

report.

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 Company 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), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements.

Other than in our capacity as auditor and vote scrutineering at the annual shareholders’ meeting, we have no

relationship with or interests in the Company or any of its subsidiaries. These services have not impaired our

independence as auditor of the Company and Group.

Audit materiality We consider materiality primarily in terms of the magnitude of misstatement in the financial statements of the

Group that in our judgement would make it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable

person would be changed or influenced (the ‘quantitative’ materiality). In addition, we also assess whether other

matters that come to our attention during the audit would in our judgement change or influence the decisions of

such a person (the ‘qualitative’ materiality). We use materiality both in planning the scope of our audit work and

in evaluating the results of our work.

We determined materiality for the Group financial statements as a whole to be $3.06 million.

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 of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of

our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not

provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Key audit matter How our audit addressed the key audit matter

Investment property valuations

As disclosed in note 5 of the consolidated financial statements, investment

properties were valued at $2,014 million as at 31 March 2024. The

investment properties are classified into three segments being, Industrial,

Office, and Large Format Retail.

The methods used for assessing fair

values include the capitalisation of

contract income, capitalisation of market income and discounted cash flow

methodologies. Fair values are calculated using actual and forecasted

inputs and assumptions including market rentals and growth, maintenance

and capital expenditure requirements, an assessment of yields, discount

rates, occupancy, leasing costs and weighted average lease terms.

Adjustments are made to observable market data of similar properties to

reflect the specific nature and location of the individual properties.

The Group’s policy is to engage independent registered valuers to perform

v

aluations for each of the properties on at least an annual basis. The

valuation of investment properties is a key audit matter due to the

subjective judgements and assumptions in the valuation process.

We read the valuation reports for all properties that were subject to

revaluation at year end. We checked for any limitations of scope in the

valuation reports that would impact the reliability of the valuations.

When considered appropriate, discussions were held with the valuers

to confirm the valuation approach used. These discussions related to

the general market, as well as specific properties identified by us.

We assessed the valuers’ experience and professional accreditations.

T

his included having each of the valuers confirm their independence,

qualifications and that the scope of work undertaken was in line with

professional valuation standards and financial reporting standards. In

addition, we considered the Group’s process for reviewing and

challenging the valuation reports to ensure that they accurately

reflected the individual characteristics of each property.

The major inputs to the valuation process were tested across a sample

of

properties, with a focus on the capitalisation of market rent

methodology. For the sample selected, key changes in rental

Argosy Property LimitedAnnual Report 202459

assumptions, capitalisation rates and other adjustments and terms
were agreed to underlying supporting information.

For a sample of properties, ownership was confirmed through property

title searches.

Our internal valuation specialists assisted in assessing the

appropriateness of the valuation methodology.

Other information The Board of Directors are responsible on behalf of the Group for the other information. The other information

comprises the information in the Annual Report that accompanies the consolidated financial statements and the

audit report.

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

express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

Our responsibility is to read the other information and consider whether it is materially inconsistent with the

consolidated financial statements, or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially

misstated. If so, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Board of Directors’ responsibilities for

the consolidated financial statements

The Board of Directors are responsible on behalf of the Group for the preparation and fair presentation of the

consolidated financial statements in accordance with NZ IFRS and IFRS, and for such internal control as the Board

of Directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free

from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the Board of Directors are responsible on behalf of the Group

for assessing the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going

concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Board of Directors either intend to liquidate

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

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit

of the consolidated financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a

whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an 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 and ISAs (NZ) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists.

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

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

consolidated financial statements.

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

the External Reporting Board’s website at:

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

This description forms part of our auditor’s report.

Restriction on use

This report is made solely to the Company’s shareholders, as a body. Our audit has been undertaken so that we

might state to the Company’s shareholders those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor’s report

and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to

anyone other than the Company’s shareholders as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions

we have formed.

Independent Directors

The Company recognises that independent directors are

important in assuring shareholders that the Board is properly

fulfilling its role and is diligent in holding management

accountable for its performance.

In determining whether a Director is independent, the Board

considers whether the Director is independent of management

and free of any business or other relationship that could

materially interfere with, or could reasonably be perceived to

materially interfere with, the exercise of his or her unfettered

and independent judgement. In accordance with Rule 2.6.1 of

the NZX Listing Rules, the Board has determined that all of

the Directors were, in its view, independent directors as at the

balance date as none of them had a disqualifying relationship

with the Company. In making this determination the Board has

determined that none of the factors referred to in table 2.4 of the

NZX Corporate Governance Code apply to Argosy’s Directors.

Remuneration Report

Chairman's introduction:

The Remuneration and Nominations Committee has established

remuneration policies and practices to attract and retain a

high performing management team to carry on the Company’s

property investment business in the interests of shareholders.

All permanent staff are paid a mixture of fixed and variable

remuneration. The variable component is designed to link pay

of employees to both individual performance and the success of

the Company.

During the year to 31 March 2023 the Company’s remuneration

policies were reviewed by an external consultant. As a result,

changes were made to remuneration for the current year to

31 March 2024. The Chief Executive Officer’s (CEO) STI was

increased from 50% of base salary to 70% of base salary, with

the additional 20% being awarded based on achievement of

material stretch objectives set by the Board.

The Company’s STI scheme for employees other than the CEO

and Chief Financial Officer (CFO) was also adjusted during the

year to 31 March 2024, to increase the proportion of variable

remuneration linked to individual performance from 25% to 30%

of base salary. The remaining 70% of each employees’ variable

remuneration is linked to performance measures based on net

property income, adjusted funds from operations (AFFO) and

key operational metrics.

The Remuneration and Nominations Committee has reviewed

the Company’s remuneration policies and practices as outlined

below and discussed them with Management. We consider that

they create the foundation for a high performing Management

team whose interests are aligned with the interests of the

Company’s shareholders. 

Jeff Morrison, Chairman

REMUNERATION GOVERNANCE

The Board’s Remuneration and Nominations Committee

overseas the Company’s remuneration policy and framework.

These are designed to attract, retain and reward individual

employees who deliver high performance aligned to

business objectives, strategy, shareholder interests and

investment performance.

Each member of the Remuneration and Nominations Committee

is independent and Management only attend Committee

meetings by invitation. Further information concerning the

composition of the Remuneration and Nominations Committee

(and other Board Committees) is set out on page 63.

The Remuneration and Nominations Committee operates under

a written Constitution and in accordance with the Company’s

Remuneration Policy, both of which are available on the

Company’s website (www.argosy.co.nz). The main features of

the Company’s Remuneration Policy are summarised below.

EMPLOYEE REMUNERATION

An employee’s remuneration is comprised of the

following components:

•fixed remuneration;

•variable or ‘at risk’ components.

The fixed remuneration component (including salary, KiwiSaver

contributions, health and disability benefits and vehicles) is

designed to reward employees for their skills and experience

and the accountability of their role. The variable component is

comprised of a short-term incentive scheme for all permanent

employees and a long-term incentive (LTI) scheme for

eligible senior executives. Each component of remuneration is

outlined below.

FIXED REMUNERATION

Fixed remuneration is the primary basis for remunerating the

Company’s employees. Each employee’s fixed remuneration

is determined based on their responsibilities, capability,

performance and market benchmarks. Fixed remuneration for

permanent employees is comprised of their base salary and

benefits. Benefits may include:

•KiwiSaver employer superannuation contributions;

•life and disability insurance;

•health insurance; and

•private use of a company vehicle.

SHORT TERM INCENTIVE SCHEME (STI)

The STI is a discretionary variable pay scheme for

permanent employees, designed to reward participants for

high performance and the Company’s success over the

financial year.

•The STI for all employees other than the CEO and CFO is

based on Company and individual performance measures

with stretch performance goals.

•The Company performance measure is based on specific

annual Company targets, which are linked to the Company’s

strategy and approved by the Board.

•Individual goals and performance measures are agreed

between each manager and their direct reports, to

encourage outstanding performance.

Argosy Property LimitedAnnual Report 202465

•Measures and stretch performance goals are reviewed each
financial year.

•The STI for each of the CEO and CFO is based solely on

Company performance.

LONG TERM INCENTIVE SCHEME (LTI)

The Company has established an LTI scheme to remunerate

senior executives for sustained performance over a three-year

period. Under the LTI scheme (which is subject to Board

discretion), the Company may issue performance share rights

(PSRs) to eligible employees each year (during the year to

31 March 2024 these were the CEO and CFO). Each PSR entitles

its holder to one share in Argosy on its vesting date, subject to

meeting LTI performance thresholds. Each PSR has a vesting

date three years after commencement of the financial year in

which it is issued.

The LTI performance measure is a comparison of the

Company’s Total Shareholder Return (TSR) against the TSR of

a comparator group of listed entities determined by the Board.

•Comparator entities are chosen from the S&P/NZX All Real

Estate Gross Index.

•TSRs of the entities in the comparison group over the

performance period (which is three years) will be ranked from

highest to lowest.

•If Argosy’s TSR over the performance period exceeds the

TSR of the company ranked at the 50th percentile in the

comparison group, 50% of the PSRs will vest.

•If Argosy’s TSR over the performance period exceeds the

TSR of the company ranked at the 75th percentile in the

comparison group, 100% of the PSRs will vest.

•There is a straight line progression and apportionment

between these two points.

444,849 PSRs (100% of PSRs granted in respect of the period

commencing on 1 April 2020) vested during the year, reflecting

that the Company’s TSR exceeded the 75th percentile of the

comparison group over the applicable three-year period. A

corresponding number of shares in the Company were issued.

495,473 PSRs were granted to eligible employees during

the year.

External independent advice and references to employee

remuneration benchmarks

Each year the Company receives external remuneration

benchmark information in the course of reviewing employee

remuneration. No external independent advice was received

by the Company in relation to the year ended 31 March 2024.

However, the Company has received external independent

advice in setting salary levels for the year ending 31 March 2025.

CHIEF EXECUTIVE'S REMUNERATION

The Chief Executive's remuneration for the year ended 31 March

2024 is outlined below:

Base salary

$677,000

Other benefits$73,600

Short term incentive (STI)$415,000

Long term incentive (LTI)$315,500

Total$1,481,100

Base salary and other benefits reflect the CEO’s fixed

remuneration during the year. The base salary increased by

$27,000 on the prior year. The CEO’s maximum STI for

the year is equal to 70% of base salary ($473,900). The

proportion of this amount awarded reflects the Remuneration

and Nominations Committee’s assessment of the CEO’s

performance during the year measured against agreed

performance hurdles in the following areas:

•Financial Performance: Targets based on net property

income and AFFO

•Health and Safety: Targets based on zero serious

harm injuries

•Operations: Targets based on leasing and

portfolio positioning

•Sustainability: Targets based on near term actions in the

Company’s Sustainability Framework

•Strategic Initiatives: Targets based on the completion of a

strategic asset review.

The STI weightings attributed to each area are shown in the

table below:

Performance hurdleSTI weightingOutcome

Financial performance27%27%

Health and Safety14%14%

Operations20%8%

Sustainability11%11%

Strategic Initiatives28%28%

The LTI included in the CEO’s remuneration relates to PSRs,

which have a three-year vesting period beginning on 1 April

2020 and ending on 31 March 2023, that vested during the

year to 31 March 2024. Vesting of PSRs is dependent on the

Company’s relative TSR over the vesting period, as described

on page 66. 287,356 PSRs (100% of the PSRs granted in

respect of the period commencing 1 April 2020) vested on

16 May 2023 and a corresponding number of shares were issued

on 19 May 2023. The shares were valued at $1.0981 per share

based on the volume weighted average price for Argosy shares

over the five days trading prior to the share issue.

In addition to the total remuneration disclosed above, the CEO

was granted 353,133 PSRs during the year to 31 March 2024

(which have a three-year vesting period commencing

1 April

2023). The grant of PSRs was calculated based on 60% of

base salary and using the volume weighted average price of

the shares sold through the NZX over the period of 10 trading

days ending on 31 March 2023. The LTI is included in the CEO’s

remuneration in the year that the shares vest.

ESG disclosures

As at 31 March 2024, the CEO’s base salary of $677,000

was 4.4 times (2023: 4.8 times) that of the base salary of

the median employee at $153,000 per annum. The CEO’s

total remuneration, including STI Earned and LTI Vested,

of $1,481,100 was 7.4 times (2023: 6.4 times) the total

remuneration of the median employee at $201,500.

The Company does not report gender pay gap information as it

has less than 50 employees. Mind the Gap considers that it is

not appropriate for issuers with less than 50 employees to make

a gender pay gap disclosure.

EMPLOYEE REMUNERATION

All employees of the Group are employed by Argosy Property

Management Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of the

Company. The number of employees or former employees who

External audit firm guidelines

In addition to the formal constitution under which the Audit

also has an External Auditor Independence Policy containing

procedures to ensure the independence of the Company’s

external auditor. Argosy’s External Auditor Independence Policy

is available on its website (www.argosy.co.nz).

perceived as auditing their own work.

Deloitte is the Company’s current external auditor.

Argosy Property LimitedAnnual Report 202472

Corporate Governance

Risk management
Argosy strives to deliver reliable and attractive returns to

shareholders. It takes a considered approach to development,

acquisition, divestment, leasing and capital management

decisions, reflecting its proposition to shareholders as a yield-

based investment.

Argosy has a robust risk assessment process. Risk assessment

reviews are carried out by a representative cross-section

of Argosy’s management team at least twice a year in

accordance with Argosy’s Risk Management Framework. A

risk assessment review has three phases: identification of

material risks arising from Argosy’s operation; assessment of

the probability and consequences of the risk and development

of controls to achieve a level of residual risk that is within

Argosy’s risk appetite.

Argosy generally operates within a medium (M), low (L) to

very low (VL) overall risk range. Argosy has a low risk appetite

for risks associated with managing developments, Value Add

projects and compliance matters. Argosy’s key risks are set out

in the table below:

Business riskMitigationResidual

Risk Rating

Asset Management: Unanticipated

loss of value due to regulatory

changes, inherent defects or poorly

selected acquisitions.

Argosy regularly monitors the quality of its portfolio. This includes

monitoring of seismic performance, cladding and environmental

hazards. Argosy carries out detailed due diligence prior to acquiring

any property.

M

Property Development: Delay, cost

increases or supplier default materially

impacting forecast profitability of

development activities.

Argosy closely monitors project budgets, prepares standardised

reporting for developments, conducts project end review meetings for

efficiency improvement, maintains a dedicated development team and

fosters strong relationships with key contractors to mitigate risk.

L

Economic downturn: Downturn in

economy leading to tenant distress

and reduced leasing demand.

Argosy carries out comprehensive due diligence on new tenants

and has a diverse base of tenants which provides resilience in an

economic downturn. Tenant arrears are reviewed fortnightly and non-

payment is prioritised and addressed with tenants promptly. Our

portfolio diversification across sectors and geographies and exposure to

Government tenants, reduces the risk of distressed tenants. Argosy's

weighted average lease term of 5.2 years also limits exposure to

reduced demand during downturns in the business cycle.

M

Insurance: Failure to adequately

insure resulting in uninsured losses.

Argosy engages reputable insurance brokers and carries out regular

insurance valuations to ensure properties are adequately insured.

Argosy seeks to reduce risk by both maintaining strong relationships

with local insuers and by accessing offshore insurers in London. Argosy

recently established an insurance captive to improve access to overseas

reinsurance markets thereby reducing risks in relation to securing

adequate insurance cover at reasonable cost, particularly in relation to

Wellington earthquake risk.

VL

Health and safety: Non-compliance

with health and safety legislation

by Argosy or its contractors leading

to preventable health and safety

incidents resulting in serious injury

or death.

Argosy has a health and safety framework and an annual health and

safety strategic plan to manage health and safety risk. Health and

safety is overseen at a management level by the Health and Safety

Committee, and health and safety is a standing agenda item with

routine reporting at Board meetings. Health and safety systems are

independently reviewed on a three-yearly cycle. Argosy collaborates

with contractors and tenants to promote high standards of health and

safety at Argosy sites.

VL

Disruption to business continuity:

Interruption to business as usual

operations at Argosy's corporate

premises due to natural disaster or

other events impacting Argosy's staff,

property or systems.

Argosy maintains a business continuity plan under which each

employee can work from home and Argosy's business as usual

operations can be carried out away from its corporate offices.

Information technology systems are cloud-based and backed up

locally and overseas ensuring the security and accessibility of

business records.

VL

Argosy Property LimitedAnnual Report 202473

Business riskMitigationResidual
Risk Rating

Cyber crime: Financial loss, loss of

business records, or unauthorised

disclosure of sensitive information

due to criminal activity involving

the use of a computer, network or

networked device.

Argosy staff undertake regular cyber security training to prevent

unauthorised access to Argosy's computer network and systems.

Argosy systems incorporate security features such as disk encryption,

strong passwords, multi-factor authentication, anti-spam technologies,

monitoring tools to pre-emptively detect incidents and analysis tools

to identify incidents as they happen or after they occur. There are

also strong controls to prevent fraud-induced payments. Argosy's

information technology systems are cloud-based, with multiple backups

locally and overseas by reputable providers to ensure the security

and accessibility of business records. Were Argosy's business records

to become inaccessible due to a cyber event, many key records

could be reconstructed from hard copy documentation and third party

information (such as lease documentation and bank records) and

monthly automatic lease payments would continue to be received

from tenants.

L

Interest rates and liquidity:

Unexpected interest rates rises or

rapid and unexpected appreciation

of funding margins leading to

increased costs or limited capacity or

rationed lending restricts access to

debt funding.

Argosy follows a hedging policy under which it operates within hedging

bands recommended by independent treasury advisors. Bank funding is

confirmed until at least April 2025 with an average duration of 2.3 years

and there is added diversification and tenor from Argosy's Green Bonds.M

Breach of bank covenants:

Reduction in property values or

increase in interest costs causes

Argosy to breach bank covenants.

Argosy operates under a capital management framework which ensures

regular monitoring of bank covenants. Argosy maintains significant

headroom in its facilities and fosters strong relationships with its

banking syndicate. Regular monitoring includes forecasts of key ratios

(and associated sensitivity analysis) and takes into account the impact

of material transactions.

Building a
better future

2024 Sustainability Report

Introduction
“Argosy is one of New Zealand’s largest commercial

landlords. We own a diversified portfolio worth

$2 billion across industrial, office and large format

retail investment property.”

Argosy Property LimitedSustainability Report 202402

Sustainability Report

This is Argosy's Sustainability Report for the year ended
31 March 2024

We recognise that sustainability is critical to our company's

long-term performance, and the impact it has on the

natural environment is becoming increasingly important to

our stakeholders. Our stakeholders include tenants, investors,

employees, suppliers and the communities in which we operate.

Our primary goals are threefold - to reduce our environmental

impact, engage with our stakeholders more and to provide

transparent and effective governance.

Argosy's Sustainability Framework is built around four pillars:

reduction, creation, engagement, and sustainability. With a

robust framework well established, we are well positioned

to continue forward over the next decade with even more

defined goals and a broader perspective on value generation

for all stakeholders.

We are committed to increasing our engagement, investment

and commitment to the communities where we live. Our

community partners perform valuable work and we will continue

to support their efforts in the future. As one of New Zealand's

largest commercial landlords, Argosy has a unique opportunity

to make a significant difference.

We are continually striving for exceptional performance without

compromising our ethics or ideals. We place a high value

on honesty, integrity, quality, and trust and Argosy strives

to maintain the highest standards of corporate conduct

and accountability.

Sustainability Report

Overarching purpose

To reduce our impact on the environment, create vibrant

environments, engage with stakeholders and provide

transparent and effective governance. Our stakeholders include

investors, lenders, tenants, suppliers, staff and industry groups.

Four Pillars of Argosy's Sustainability Framework

1.Reduction: Managing and reducing the impact of Argosy’s

operations on the environment, primarily carbon emissions.

2.Creation: Creating well designed, vibrant and sustainable

spaces for tenants and their staff to work, prosper

and flourish.

3.Engagement: Delivering positive outcomes in communities

we operate in, through greater stakeholder engagement

and influence.

4.Sustainability: Improving the sustainability and resilience of

our business by focusing on a wider range of outcomes, over

and above financial returns.

“Collaboration allows us to work together and

deliver a sustainable, productive environment for

occupants. By aiming higher we can do better

and have higher energy efficiency, achieving better

sustainability results for our tenants.”

Saatyesh Bhana

HEAD OF SUSTAINABILITY, ARGOSY PROPERTY LIMITED

Materiality Assessment
In 2022, Argosy conducted an independently facilitated

materiality assessment process. Key stakeholders included

investors, lenders, tenants, suppliers and industry groups.

Material topics were then determined based on interviews

with stakeholders and a workshop with members of Argosy’s

Management team.

A review of Argosy’s peers, media commentary, industry

perspectives, as well as Argosy’s internal documentation

was also carried out. The overall results were classified by

importance to stakeholders and business impact.

The materiality assessment identified seven material ESG

topics as shown in the matrix below.

The Board's ESG Committee has reviewed the material topics

reported below and considers that there have been no changes

in Argosy's activities or impacts which would alter the material

topics identified.

Our Environment
REDUCING CARBON EMISSIONS, ENERGY AND WASTE

Argosy's approach

Argosy recognises that an important part of our responsibility to

stakeholders and central to ensuring a sustainable business, is

to focus on the reduction of this impact over the long term.

Key building performance measures include carbon emissions,

energy used and waste produced. Argosy is focused on

reducing the impact these have on the natural environment

and utilises third party verification where practicable to validate

building performance.

Third party validation includes New Zealand Green Building

Council Green Star Built Ratings (around overall building

quality, environmental benefits, recycling, environmental

products and waste diversion) and NABERSNZ ratings (energy

use). Argosy engages Toitū Envirocare to help it identify,

measure, monitor, audit and report on its carbon emissions with

a view to reducing them over time. Argosy offsets its remaining

carbon emissions with carbon credits.

1-3 Unity Drive, Auckland.

GREEN BUILDINGS

The World Green Building Council set the initial framework

and the New Zealand Green Building Council (NZGBC) revise

and customise the framework to reflect the New Zealand

environment. Based on this framework, Argosy's Green

Buildings have Green Star ratings and/or NABERSNZ ratings.

The Green Star rating tool is New Zealand’s largest voluntary

and truly holistic sustainability rating system for buildings.

NABERSNZ is a rating tool developed by National Australian

Built Environment Rating System and this is licensed to EECA

and administrated by NZGBC. This is an energy efficiency rating

that standardises buildings energy use to allow comparisons to

be made. The ability to understand how much energy is being

used provides the benchmark against which energy reductions

can be targeted and measured.

In accordance with Argosy’s Green Bond Framework, green

assets are those existing and/or planned Office, Industrial and

Large Format Retail buildings, including upgrades, that are

either targeting or have been certified as obtaining either a

minimum 4 Star NZGBC Green Star Built rating or a minimum

4 Star NABERSNZ Energy Base Build Rating or Energy Whole

Building Rating.

With a focus on ensuring the long term sustainability of its

business, coupled with a corporate goal of greening 50% of the

portfolio by 2031, Argosy will continue to transform the portfolio

into one which is better for the environment and delivers

better outcomes for tenants and their staff, over and above

financial returns to shareholders. The company is improving the

environmental performance of its properties and as at 31 March

2024, approximately 35% of the portfolio has achieved Green

Star or NABERSNZ ratings of 4 Stars or higher.

Performance

Green Star

•Minimum 4 Green Star Ratings on new builds and

major refurbishments.

•Currently average above 4 Green Stars across 12

rated buildings.

•Strategic goal of 50% of the portfolio being green by 2031.

•Solar electricity (PV) arrays have been installed at 8 Willis

Street, 105 Carlton Gore Road and 23 Customs Street East to

reduce each buildings’ load on the grid.

NABERSNZ


Minimum 4 Star Ratings on new builds and

major refurbishments.

•Argosy is targeting NABERSNZ ratings on all of its office

buildings by 2026 so that energy performance can be

tracked and improved on.

•Currently average above 4 Stars across 9 rated buildings.

•In order to achieve this, Argosy is currently installing

energy sub-metering to allow for efficient data collection,

monitoring, measuring and reporting.

Argosy Property LimitedSustainability Report 202408

Sustainability Report

TOITŪ CERTIFICATION
•Argosy engaged Toitū Envirocare (Toitū) to calculate

its carbon footprint and provide emissions management

guidance by implementation of an environmental

management and reduction plan for Scopes 1 & 2 and some

Scope 3 emissions.

•Scope 2 and Scope 3 emissions reported below differ from

emissions reported in Argosy’s Climate-Related Financial

Disclosures. Scope 2 emissions are reported below using

the market-based method under Toitu’s Net Carbonzero

Programme,  which uses contractual instruments to

purchase renewable energy and reduce emissions generated

by electricity; and Scope 3 emissions below are limited

to indirect emissions from transportation. In contrast,

Argosy’s Climate-Related Financial Disclosures for Scope

2 emissions use the location-based method, where an

emissions factor is calculated from all electricity delivered to

a grid over a certain period. There is more comprehensive

reporting of Scope 3 emissions in our Climate-Related

Financial Disclosures which are available on our web

site (www.argosy.co.nz).

•Toitū has certified Argosy as Net Carbonzero for the financial

year ending 31 March 2024. Total emissions for 2024 are

220.3 tonnes CO

2

-e which have been offset using 221 tonnes

of international Solar Energy Project credits.

•Reported emissions include an increase in Scope 1 emissions

from last year due to air conditioning refrigerant leaks

contributing 141.5 tonnes CO

2

-e, and a decrease in Scope

2 electricity emissions. This Scope 2 emissions reduction

was aided by a roll-out of carbon zero electricity supply

accounts across the portfolio. For 2023 - 2024, Argosy has

widened the reportable emissions boundary, including (but

not offsetting) tenant electricity consumption in leased

meetings and increasing the awareness of the impact

of flying.

•Waste reduction by separation of recycling, measurement

and reduction of construction waste and diversion from

landfill wherever possible.

ENGAGING, INVESTING AND CONTRIBUTING TO THE

COMMUNITIES WE LIVE IN

Argosy's approach

•A resilient business maintains strong and valued

relationships and is committed to actively engaging with

all stakeholders.

•As one of New Zealand's premier commercial landlords,

Argosy has a unique opportunity to make a

significant difference.

•Argosy is devoted to its long-term social goals of having a

greater influence on the communities in which it operates.

Performance

Through FY24, Argosy donated to its community partners.

This includes funding for five surf lifesaving clubs in New

Zealand, Pillars, The Spirit of Adventure Trust, Variety -

the children's charity, The Keystone Trust and The Graeme

Dingle Foundation.

Argosy continues to maintain a range of commercial and non-

commercial partnerships. Annual memberships include: The

New Zealand Shareholders Association, MSCI Real Estate, The

New Zealand Green Building Council, The Property Council of

New Zealand, and Toitū Net Carbonzero.

SURF LIFE SAVING

Argosy has a community partnership with five surf life saving

clubs (SLSC's) across New Zealand. These include: Red

Beach Surf Life Saving Club (SLSC), Hot Water Beach SLSC

(Coromandel), Taylors Mistake SLSC (Christchurch), Lyall Bay

These five clubs and their members are part of a larger

family of 74 surf life saving clubs in New Zealand, with

over 4,500 volunteer surf lifeguards patrolling at over 90

locations each summer. Lifeguards donate thousands of hours

to patrol beaches, saving lives and ensuring safety. Given their

annual commitment to keeping communities safe, Argosy's

partnerships with local clubs are critical, and the company will

continue to support them wherever possible.

“Argosy's grant supports our Junior Surf programme

where kids want to give something back to society.

That's a great thing to do.”

Argosy continues to encourage its staff to undertake

community volunteering to give their time to organisations

of their choice. Volunteering is an important way to engage

with our communities and support the delivery of positive

outcomes over and above financial returns. Many of our

staff undertook volunteer work in their community during

the year. Organisations which benefitted from the volunteer

work included Pillars, the Graeme Dingle Foundation and the

Catalytic Foundation.

VARIETY – THE CHILDREN'S CHARITY

Variety is a valued community partner of Argosy’s and remains

an amazing organisation that helps support those families most

in need. Argosy is a regular supporter of Variety’s ‘kids in beds’

winter appeal and last winters $10,000 support went towards

blankets, bedding packs and beds. As usual, Argosy staff again

supported the cause, topping up the company sponsorship by

a further $765 making a total donation of $10,765. In recent

times, it’s been as important as ever to support those most

in need.

“Argosy's support continues to make a huge

difference to the lives of so many families and it's

always greatly appreciated.”

Susan Glasgow

CEO, VARIETY - THE CHILDRENS CHARITY

THE KEYSTONE TRUST

During the year, Argosy became a Keystone Trust Scholarship

partner. On 14 February, Argosy’s Head of Investor Relations

& Corporate Communications, Stephen Freundlich and Head

of Sustainability, Saatyesh Bhana proudly presented Monette

MacDonald with her 2024 Keystone Argosy Property Limited

Scholarship at the Keystone New Zealand Property Education

Trust Awards evening held at the Maritime Museum. Monette is

in her 3rd year of study towards her Bachelor of Architecture at

the University of Auckland.

This is Argosy’s first year as a scholarship partner where

it supports student's studies financially as well as providing

industry introductions, making connections and practical work

experience where possible.

The Keystone Trust was established to support young people

in their pursuit of tertiary education in the property sector and

offers financial support, mentoring and opportunities to network

with people across the industry.

Stephen Freundlich (Head of Corporate Communications & Investor

Relations), Monette McDonald (Argosy Keystone Trust Scholarship

THE GRAEME DINGLE FOUNDATION

Argosy established its partnership with the Graeme Dingle

Foundation (GDF) last year. The GDF was established in 1995

to provide positive child and youth development by empowering

children to overcome obstacles.

Their programmes are currently delivered to over 27,000 young

people in 10 regions across New Zealand every year.

On 22 March 2024, the Foundation ran a volunteer day at Te

Hōnonga a Iwi Restoration, in Albany. This is a small business-

led urban restoration of 10,000 m

2

of an unused riparian site in

the south west corner of Rosedale park using bio-organic land

care, sustainability and social equity principles.

Several Argosy staff utilised their volunteer staff day to help

and were joined by Argosy Director, Rachel Winder. This was a

fantastic opportunity for Argosy staff to join the GDF in living the

values they teach in their programmes.

Employee wellbeing - better people

SUPPORT HEALTH & WELLBEING OF ITS PEOPLE

Argosy's approach

In general, health and wellness refer to all aspects of working

life, from the quality and safety of the physical working

environment to how employees feel about their job, their

workplace (including resources and setup), their environment,

and company culture. Employee well-being improves an

organisation's ability to produce objectives and deliver on its

corporate goals and strategy.

Argosy remains committed to providing a healthy and safe

workplace for all of its employees, and it maintains a Workplace

Health and Safety Committee (WHSC). The WHSC oversees the

health and wellbeing framework on behalf of Argosy employees,

which includes initiatives such as subsidised gym memberships

(physical health) and access to independent employee help

programs (mental health). In addition, permanent employees

are covered by health, life, and disability insurance as part of

their employment.

Performance

•Engage with employees via the WHSC and annual

staff surveys;

•Professional development plans for staff;

•Support for professional courses; and

•Monitor and report on effectiveness of flexible working

arrangements for all staff.

DEVELOPING OUR TALENT

Argosy is committed to investing in its employees' skills and

experience to promote a skilled and professional workforce.

As the business evolves and adapts to an ever-changing

competitive environment, so must the resources available to

meet those demands. Personal development plans are part of

every Argosy employee's Employee Performance Plan (EPP).

The EPP is created with the employee's line manager and

reviewed as part of the annual review process.

Through FY24, Argosy employees have continued to upskill

across a range of areas including First Aid, Height Safety,

Risk Assessment, Root Cause Analysis and Defensive Driving.

Argosy continues to support staff to undertake further

education and we have one staff member who graduated with

Distinction with their University of Otago Master of Business

Administration (MBA) and another staff member undertaking an

MBA through Auckland University of Technology.

Diversity 

ARGOSY'S APPROACH

Argosy remains committed to building and sustaining a diverse,

inclusive, and supportive work environment for all of its

employees. The company's primary focus remains on the

diversity of its employees, which is supported by its Diversity

Policy (available on www.argosy.co.nz), which outlines its

perspective and contains measurable benchmarks for achieving

its goals.

Key principles within the Diversity Policy include: treating

people with respect, valuing the contribution of others and

maintaining a zero tolerance policy for discrimination. Argosy

continues to retain talented people to support the delivery of our

strategy and recruit new ones as required.

Tenant Relations
Argosy continues to proactively manage its tenant

relationships. It aims to create modern, high quality and safe

environments where our tenants and their staff can work,

prosper and flourish. Our tenants success is our success.

ARGOSY'S APPROACH

Argosy attempts to manage tenant relationships that benefit

both sides. It is committed to competent property management,

safe building environments, and comfortable occupation.

Strong and cherished partnerships are built on trust and doing

the right thing.

PERFORMANCE 

Argosy completes an annual tenant survey which targets

minimum satisfaction levels across various measures, including

but not limited to: professionalism in its dealings, property

management services rating, how well Argosy meets their

needs and whether tenants would recommend Argosy as a

property partner.

“We asked tenants about their future needs and

17% of respondents expect their space requirements

to increase over the next 5 years. We're now well

placed to have early discussions about how we

might be able to support their businesses to grow.”

Health & Safety
ZERO HARM

Argosy's approach

Argosy prioritises health and safety, and its commitment to

creating a healthy and safe environment for its employees,

tenants, and contractors is unwavering. We aim to ensure

accurate recording and reporting of workplace events, as well

as promoting innovation and new ideas to improve health

and safety systems, worker participation and facilitate injured

employees' safe and timely return to work.

Led by our Head of Health & Safety, Argosy’s staff regularly

participate in industry workshops such as SiteSafe and

Contractor Induction Groups and regularly meet with health and

safety representatives from the property industry.

Underpinning this commitment is our continued innovation and

adoption of technology to improve our systems – particularly

around recording and reporting of workplace incidents.

Argosy’s SiteConnect contractor management system ensures

all work carried out on a building is completed to the highest

standards and in the safest way possible. It allows real

time notification of risks, emergency procedures and building

information to be passed on to a contractor visiting a building

through smart phone technology.

Contractors undergo a pre-qualification and induction before

any work can start. At the date of this report, Argosy has

323 contractors and 3174 contractor staff loaded onto the

SiteConnect system.

Performance

7 Health and Safety strategic goals

Argosy wants to create a positive safety culture. Therefore,

it is critical that it manages health and safety risks, provides

adequate training and resources and ensures that managers

and individuals are accountable for their action or inaction.

The seven key strategic goals to provide a safer work

environment are:

1.We will proactively identify hazards and take measures to

limit the risk of harm.

2.We will discuss and actively engage with employees and

contractors to ensure they have the necessary training,

skills, information, and resources to maintain a healthy and

safe workplace.

3.We will continue to strengthen our health and safety

management systems, including a pre-qualification

framework for subcontractors, with the goal of increasing

skill levels on-site.

4.We will actively encourage our contractors and tenants to

display the same commitment to excellence in health and

safety performance as we do.

5.We prioritise staff health and wellness, promoting a safe and

timely return to work for injured or unwell personnel.

6.We will comply with health & safety legislation

and regulations. 

7.We will report events accurately and examine root

causes promptly.

better future

2024 Climate-Related

Financial Disclosures

Overview
“The impact of Argosy’s business on the

natural environment is an increasingly important

consideration for investors, occupiers and other

stakeholders. An important part of our responsibility

is to identify and assess the risks presented by climate

change, just as we manage other risks facing our

business. Argosy considers that the development

of certified energy efficient Green Buildings is an

important part of our response to climate change.”

Argosy Property Limited2024 Climate-Related Financial Disclosures02

2024 Climate-Related Financial Disclosures

Climate-related risks and opportunities have been the focus
of our strategy to develop certified energy efficient “Green

Buildings” having a Green Star Rating or a NABERSNZ rating of

4 Stars or better. We have a target for 50% of Argosy’s portfolio,

measured by market value, to be Green Buildings by 2031.

This is Argosy’s first year reporting under the XRB’s mandatory

Aotearoa New Zealand Climate Standard 1: Climate Related

Disclosures (NZ CS 1), finalised in December 2022. However,

we have voluntarily reported climate related disclosures based

on TCFD guidelines for the three prior years. NZ CS 1 now

mandates scenario analysis based on three plausible but

challenging scenarios to assist in the assessment of future

climate-related risks, which is a new feature of this report.

Plausible challenging scenarios are

not predictions

In accordance with the intention of NZ CS 1, the three scenarios

described in the strategy section of this report are plausible

but challenging futures based on industry scenarios. These are

intended to test Argosy’s strategy against a variety of possible

futures with different climate change impacts.

The scenarios are not intended as predictions of what climate

change impacts may or will actually affect Argosy in the future.

Neither the scenarios themselves nor our commentary or risk

assessments in this report are forward-looking statements

about what Argosy considers may or will happen in the future.

It is also important to acknowledge that in this first year

of mandatory reporting under NZ CS 1, there is no settled

approach to the scenario analysis and risk assessment

requirements under the Standard. We anticipate that a

continuous improvement mindset will be required as scenario

analysis and risk assessment practices mature over the initial

years of mandatory reporting.

Statement of compliance

The climate related financial disclosures in this report have been

completed in relation to the Argosy Property Limited group

and comply with Aotearoa New Zealand Climate Standards.

In preparing these disclosures, Argosy has relied on the

following adoption provisions from Aotearoa New Zealand

Climate Standard 2: Adoption of Aotearoa New Zealand Climate

Standards (NZ CS 2):

•Adoption provision 1: exemption from disclosure of current

financial impacts.

•Adoption provision 2: exemption from disclosure of

anticipated financial impacts.

•Adoption provision 3: exemption from disclosure of

transition plan aspects of strategy and their alignment

with internal capital deployment and funding decision-

making processes.

•Adoption provision 6: exemption from disclosure of

comparative metrics.

•Adoption provision 7: exemption from disclosure of analysis

of trends.

Argosy Property Limited2024 Climate-Related Financial Disclosures03

Governance
DISCLOSURE OBJECTIVE:

To enable primary users to understand both the role

an entity’s governance body plays in overseeing climate-

related risks and climate-related opportunities, and the

role management plays in assessing and managing those

climate-related risks and opportunities.

GOVERNANCE DISCLOSURES:

To achieve the disclosure objective above, an entity

must disclose the following information:

a) the identity of the governance body responsible for

oversight of climate-related risks and opportunities;

b) a description of the governance body’s oversight of

climate-related risks and opportunities; and

c) a description of management’s role in assessing and

managing climate-related risks and opportunities.

a) Identity of the governance body

Argosy’s Board is responsible for establishing, reviewing and

monitoring processes to identify climate-related risks and

opportunities. The Board’s Audit and Risk and ESG Committees

also support the Board with governance in relation to climate

related risks and opportunities as outlined below.

b) Governance body oversight

Argosy’s Board acquires skills and competencies necessary to

oversee climate-related risks and opportunities through various

training initiatives. These include an annual Board-led session

on sustainability risks, presentations from external speakers,

and presentations from the Management Team in relation to

sustainability risks and opportunities affecting Argosy.

While Argosy’s Board is ultimately responsible for managing

climate-related risks and opportunities, responsibility for

overseeing climate-related risks and opportunities is delegated

to the Board’s Audit and Risk Committee which makes

recommendations to the Board on how climate-related

risks should be managed. The Board’s ESG Committee,

which is responsible for overseeing Argosy’s Sustainability

Framework and making recommendations on its approach to

sustainability, also has a responsibility to raise climate-related

risks and opportunities.

Argosy Property Limited2024 Climate-Related Financial Disclosures04

2024 Climate-Related Financial Disclosures

Climate-related risks and opportunities are integrated into
Argosy’s Risk Management Framework and Strategic Risk

Register which are reviewed by the Audit and Risk Committee

semi-annually. The Audit and Risk Committee makes

recommendations to the Board in respect of the management

of climate-related risks also semi-annually, and this includes

informing the Board of climate-related risks through the

Strategic Risk Register.

Strategy, reporting and monitoring in relation to climate-

related risks and opportunities are also addressed in Argosy’s

Sustainability Framework, which is overseen by the Board’s

ESG Committee. Climate-related risks and opportunities raised

by the ESG Committee are added to the Strategic Risk Register

overseen by the Audit and Risk Committee in accordance with

Argosy's Risk Management Framework.

The Sustainability Framework includes Green Buildings and

Climate Change among Argosy’s material sustainability factors.

Each material sustainability factor has its own objectives

and targets which are reported to the Board’s ESG

Committee quarterly. More information about Argosy's material

sustainability factors is provided in Argosy’s Sustainability

Report (available at www.argosy.co.nz).

Targets from the Sustainability Framework are reflected in

Argosy’s strategy, budget and operating plan. Under Argosy’s

remuneration policy, targets linked to climate-related risks are

included in the short-term incentive for each Argosy employee

other than the Chief Executive Officer (CEO). In the case of the

CEO specific targets are agreed, which include achievement of

targets for managing climate-related risks and opportunities.

c) Management's role

Climate-related risks and opportunities are identified and

assessed by Argosy’s Risk Management Committee, which

meets semi-annually and reports to the Board’s Audit and

Risk Committee. The Risk Management Committee comprises

a representative cross-section of the Management Team

including the CEO and Chief Financial Officer. The Risk

Management Framework under which it operates has been

updated to include a risk appetite and criteria for identifying and

assessing climate-related risks arising from scenario analysis.

To identify climate-related risks, senior members of Argosy’s

Management Team held a workshop in February 2024 to

discuss and identify climate-related risks and opportunities,

based on analysis of the scenarios described below in this

report. Argosy’s Risk Management Committee subsequently

analysed the climate scenarios below, identified and assessed

climate-related risks, and updated Argosy’s Strategic Risk

Register with identified climate-related risks, which were

approved by the Board on the recommendation of the Audit

and Risk Committee. Climate-related risks will in future be

reviewed at least semi-annually in accordance with Argosy’s

Risk Management framework along with other risks.

Argosy Property Limited2024 Climate-Related Financial Disclosures05

Strategy
DISCLOSURE OBJECTIVE:

To enable primary users to understand how climate

change is currently impacting an entity and how it may

do so in the future. This includes the scenario analysis

an entity has undertaken, the climate-related risks and

opportunities an entity has identified, the anticipated

impacts and financial impacts of these, and how an

entity will position itself as the global and domestic

economy transitions towards a low-emissions, climate-

resilient future.

STRATEGY DISCLOSURES:

To achieve the disclosure objective, an entity

must disclose:

a) a description of its current climate-related impacts;

b) a description of the scenario analysis it

has undertaken;

c) a description of the climate-related risks and

opportunities it has identified over the short, medium,

and long term;

d) a description of the anticipated impacts of climate-

related risks and opportunities; and

e) a description of how it will position itself as the

global and domestic economy transitions towards a low-

emissions, climate-resilient future state.

a) Current climate-related impacts

A current climate related impact is identified as having a

material impact during the year ended 31 March 2024. A climate

impact is considered material if it had the potential to influence

business-as-usual operations, achievement of business or

strategic objectives, value, or media coverage.

CURRENT TRANSITIONAL IMPACTS

Argosy has identified tenant preferences for energy efficient

certified Green Buildings as a current transitional impact. Green

Buildings are considered a material current impact as they are

an important part of Argosy’s strategy and Argosy has a target

for 50% of its portfolio to be comprised of Green Buildings by

31 March 2031. Argosy’s first Green Building was certified in

March 2014 and to date Green Buildings have competed with

regular buildings in terms of development cost and feasibility.

Green buildings may present an opportunity if occupiers and

investors are attracted to Green Buildings and a risk if Argosy

is required to incur additional capital expenditure to develop

Green Buildings.

CURRENT PHYSICAL IMPACTS

Argosy has not identified any current physical impacts of

climate change on its assets or operations. Our portfolio

showed resilience during the Auckland Flood during January

2023. While floods had a severe impact on the Auckland

region, where 69% of Argosy’s properties are located, Argosy’s

properties did not suffer significant damage or disruption to

occupiers. However, this event has been taken as a learning

opportunity and Argosy’s Management Team has responded by

enhancing resilience with measures such as storing sandbags

at properties where the Auckland Flood highlighted potential for

water ingress.

CURRENT FINANCIAL IMPACTS

Argosy relies on adoption provision 1 in paragraph 10 of NZ

CS 2, which provides an exemption from disclosure of current

financial impacts in the first reporting period.

b) Scenario analysis undertaken

Argosy has analysed three climate scenarios to help identify its

climate related risks and opportunities and better understand

the resilience of its business model and strategy. The scenarios

are not intended as predictions of what climate change impacts

may or will actually affect Argosy in the future. Neither the

scenarios themselves, nor our commentary or risk assessments

in this report based on analysis of the scenarios, are intended as

forward-looking statements about what Argosy considers may

or will happen in the future.

Our scenario analysis is based on the Climate Scenarios for the

Construction and Property Sector Ngā Horopaki Āhuarangi mō

te Rāngai Hanganga me ngā Whare, developed by Beca Limited

for the New Zealand Green Building Council. Argosy along

with industry peers contributed to the development of these

scenarios. The industry scenarios have each been modified to

better reflect Argosy’s specific circumstances, while ensuring

that they remain plausible and yet challenging. Summaries of

Argosy’s three scenarios are set out below.

Argosy Property Limited2024 Climate-Related Financial Disclosures06

2024 Climate-Related Financial Disclosures

SCENARIO ONE - ORDERLY
SCENARIO ONE - ORDERLY

•Global warming is limited to 1.5°C by 2100.

•New Zealand achieves net zero CO

2

emissions by 2050.

•From 2030, existing buildings must disclose energy and

carbon performance. New buildings must be much more

energy efficient than they are required to be under the

existing code.

•Entities that fail to set and meet ambitious emission reduction

targets face financial repercussions.

•The construction sector experiences significant growth fuelled

by the development of greener infrastructure and efficiency

projects, crowding out greenfield development activity.

•Employers encourage their employees to work from home

to reduce emissions and there is an ongoing trend for more

remote working and use of shared working spaces.

•The anticipated physical impacts of sea-level rise affect the

valuation of properties in low-lying coastal areas long before

the physical impacts themselves eventuate.

•Properties in low-lying coastal areas and floodplains or with

unstable ground conditions face insurance retreat by 2050.

New Zealand achieves net-zero CO

2

emissions by 2050,

contributing to global efforts which limit warming to 1.5°C by

2100. Decarbonisation is driven by uniform and immediate

regulatory changes that promote resource efficiency. These

include regulations requiring existing buildings to disclose

energy and carbon performance and making new buildings

much more energy efficient.

With these changes, buildings built to the existing building

code become unattractive to tenants concerned with their

environmental impact. The construction sector experiences

significant growth fuelled by the development of greener

infrastructure and energy efficiency projects. Construction

becomes more costly which reduces the margins for developers,

effectively crowding out a large portion of the construction and

redevelopment activity that may otherwise have been expected.

With broad public support for decarbonisation, there is a high

expectation for entities to set and achieve ambitious emission

reduction targets. Where entities fail to set targets or meet

expectations, financial repercussions can be expected from

lenders, investors, and the Government, with restricted access

to capital and funding.

Employers encourage employees to work from home to reduce

emissions. This leads to increased demand for residential

dwellings and local shared working spaces with suitable

amenities, affecting the demand for office buildings.

While the global response to climate change is successful

in limiting the physical impacts of climate change, New

Zealand along with the rest of the world faces an increase

in the frequency and severity of extreme weather events.

Greater frequency of high intensity rainfall affects properties

in floodplains, or with unstable ground conditions, which face

relatively higher insurance premiums and suffer insurance

retreat by 2050.

The long-term effects of baked in sea-level rise adversely affect

coastal properties in low-lying areas as associated risks are

priced into property valuations and the cost of insurance (to the

extent it remains available).

Argosy Property Limited2024 Climate-related financial disclosures07

Strategy

DISCLOSURE OBJECTIVE:

To enable primary users to understand how climate

change is currently impacting an entity and how it may

do so in the future. This includes the scenario analysis

an entity has undertaken, the climate-related risks and

opportunities an entity has identified, the anticipated

impacts and financial impacts of these, and how an

entity will position itself as the global and domestic

economy transitions towards a low-emissions, climate-

resilient future.

STRATEGY DISCLOSURES:

To achieve the disclosure objective, an entity

must disclose:

a) a description of its current climate-related impacts;

b) a description of the scenario analysis it

has undertaken;

c) a description of the climate-related risks and

opportunities it has identified over the short, medium,

and long term;

d) a description of the anticipated impacts of climate-

related risks and opportunities; and

e) a description of how it will position itself as the

global and domestic economy transitions towards a low-

emissions, climate-resilient future state.

a) Current climate-related impacts

A current climate related impact is identified as having a

material impact during the year ended 31 March 2024. A climate

impact is considered material if it had the potential to influence

business-as-usual operations, achievement of business or

strategic objectives, value, or media coverage.

CURRENT TRANSITIONAL IMPACTS

Argosy has identified tenant preferences for certified Green

Buildings as a current transitional impact. Green Buildings are

considered a material current impact as they are an important

part of Argosy’s strategy and Argosy has a target for 50% of its

portfolio to be comprised of Green Buildings by 31 March 2031.

Argosy’s first Green Building was certified in March 2014 and to

premiums and insurance retreat as a result.

•Older assets are at risk of being stranded after new

regulations are introduced in 2030, while early-movers can

utilise their future-proofed assets and supply chains to

pursue opportunities.

In this 'delayed transition' scenario, policy, technology, and

behavioural changes remain stagnant until 2030. As global

emissions rise, concerns about meeting Paris Agreement

targets trigger rapid policy shifts around 2030. This sudden

policy move towards stringent decarbonisation reigns in global

warming to below 2°C by 2100.

New Zealand aligns with this trend, leading to abrupt transitions

affecting the property and construction sectors post-2030.

During the 2020s, electricity demand slowly increases, surging

in the 2030s as New Zealand moves to electrify transport

networks. Unprepared power sectors fail to respond to this

sudden shift, causing supply constraints, frequent blackouts,

and fluctuating electricity prices.

The 2020s bring uneven regulation across local bodies,

generating uncertainty. By 2030, strict regulatory changes

begin, demanding a sudden shift in building energy and carbon

requirements. New technologies have not been developed

in time to meet the resulting spike in demand, leading to

disruptions in the building and materials market. Competition

for materials and products impacts new buildings and retrofit

development. This results in price escalations and construction

delays. Lack of investment in low-carbon buildings during

the 2020s causes disruption and stimulates competition

post-2030 for materials, technology, advice, and skilled

workers, increasing development costs.

Post-2030, centralised infrastructure struggles with

densification and physical climate risks. Inconsistent spatial

planning regarding decarbonisation, densification, and

resilience adds to this uncertainty. Initially, the construction

sector's decarbonisation is sluggish, but 'fast movers' who

adapt quickly gain an advantage over late adopters post-2030.

SCENARIO THREE - HOT HOUSE WORLD
SCENARIO THREE - HOT HOUSE WORLD

•Atmospheric warming reaches >3°C by 2100.

•New Zealand climate change policy remains in keeping with

the rest of the world. Regulatory changes are slow, and the

carbon price does not increase past $35/tCO

2

e to 2050.

•Continued reliance on fossil fuels disincentivises carbon

reduction strategies (including energy efficient buildings and

shifting away from fossil fuels) unless they also improve

physical resilience.

•Disruption and political polarisation reduces the extent of large

centrally funded capital projects, which reduces construction

activity generally.

•The property and construction sector fails to meet its own

emissions reduction targets as it relies on adjacent sectors

also decarbonising, which does not happen.

•There is no transition incentive driving behavioural change

which is slow, however increasing physical impacts end

up driving behaviour change around office use and retail

property demand.

•The increasing frequency and severity of extreme weather

events drive demand for climate adaptation like retrofitting

buildings and infrastructure for heat and flood resilience.

Assets that can’t adapt become stranded.

•There is a spike in demand for housing due to climate-driven

immigration and climate refugees. Populations concentrate in

regions that are more climate resilient, leading to significant

demand for construction activity in resettlement areas.

In the 'Hot House World' scenario, global emissions continue

to climb, resulting in a temperature rise of >3°C above pre-

industrial levels by 2100. New Zealand's approach reflects

the global state, with no additional policies introduced to

curb emissions. The building and construction sector follows

the same pattern, with regulatory shifts focusing mainly on

mitigating climate-induced immigration.

With noticeable damage to infrastructure due to climate change,

mandates are introduced to conserve energy. New Zealand's

electricity grid sees gradual decarbonisation. Meanwhile, low

carbon materials are available due to lower demand, with

minimal innovations beyond current technologies and materials.

Investments are prioritised for climate resilience and adaptation.

As building codes become more stringent, some assets become

stranded. Physical effects of climate change stress centralised

infrastructures, resulting in failures and further stranding of

some assets. Consequently, local councils increase rates for

asset protection and restoration.

Despite these changes, no incentives are introduced to

encourage considerable behavioural changes. The scenario

depicts a significant breakdown of social cohesion, record heat

stress levels, mental health issues, and food insecurity. Demand

for housing spikes due to climate-driven immigration and an

increase in climate refugees.

c) Climate-related risks and opportunities
SHORT, MEDIUM AND LONG TERM

Argosy defines short, medium and long term as follows:

•Short term: 2024 – 2030

•Medium term: 2030 – 2050

•Long term: 2050 – 2100

These timeframes differ from Argosy's conventional operational

and strategic, budgeting and planning time horizons. However,

they are considered appropriate as they reflect the long-lived

nature of both climate-related risks and our property assets.

The identification of risks over longer time frames complements

our strategic, budgeting and planning time horizons by

providing an opportunity to consider and address longer term

climate-related risks and opportunities.

CLIMATE-RELATED RISKS AND OPPORTUNITIES

We have identified climate-related risks and opportunities

based on the following criteria:

•physical risks are risks arising from the physical impacts of

climate change (such as risk of physical damage to Argosy

properties). Physical risks may be acute (such as severe

weather events) or chronic (such as sea level rise);

•transition risks are risks arising from the transition to a

resilient low carbon economy (such as requirements for

buildings to be more energy efficient and resilient to climate

impacts); and

•opportunities are potentially positive climate related

outcomes (such as demand for Green Buildings). These

can include opportunities arising from climate mitigation

and adaptation measures (such as rainwater harvesting

opportunities from increased rainfall).

The table below describes and assesses material climate-

related risks and opportunities based on analysis of the

three climate scenarios above and includes information about

whether they are physical or transition risks and their

impacts. An impact is considered material if it is identified

as having potential to influence business-as-usual operations,

achievement of business or strategic objectives, value, or

media coverage. Risks are assessed on a five-point scale:

“very low,” “low”, “medium”, “high” and “severe”. The table

shows Argosy’s assessment of the residual risk remaining after

consideration of available controls and mitigations.

The scenarios are not intended as predictions of what climate

change impacts may or will actually affect Argosy in the future.

Neither the scenarios themselves nor our commentary or risk

assessments in this report are forward-looking statements

about what Argosy considers may or will happen in the future.

Funding and capital deployment decisions in relation to climate-

related risks and opportunities are addressed under Argosy’s

Sustainability Framework, which identifies Green Buildings and

climate change as material sustainability factors. Each material

sustainability factor has its own objectives and targets. Targets

in the Sustainability Framework are included in the development

of Argosy’s strategy, budget and operating plan.

d) Anticipated climate-related impacts

Anticipated climate-related impacts based on analysis of the

three climate scenarios above are described in the table below.

In relation to anticipated financial impacts, Argosy relies on

adoption provision 2 in paragraph 12 of NZ CS 2, which provides

an exemption from disclosure of anticipated financial impacts in

the first reporting period.

e) Transition plan

Argosy is committed to managing and reducing the impact of

its operations on the environment, including climate change

impacts. Our strategy to develop Green Buildings reflects

our ambition to address sustainability issues by creating well

designed, vibrant and sustainable buildings for today and into

the future. We also believe that energy efficient Green Buildings

have the potential to provide several key benefits including:

•lower energy costs;

•higher occupancy;

•higher value;

•improved worker productivity and occupant health and

wellbeing; and

•lower transition risk.

Argosy’s Sustainability Framework is at the forefront of strategic

planning and applies to all areas of its business. Green Buildings

and climate change are identified as material sustainability

factors within this Framework. The most observable impact

of climate-related risks has been the drive for Argosy and its

stakeholders to obtain Green Building certifications in relation

to the refurbishment or construction (Green Star ratings) and

ongoing operation (NABERSNZ ratings) of its buildings.

These certifications provide evidence of reduced energy use

and emissions from Argosy’s buildings in accordance with

internationally recognised standards which help reduce the

carbon footprint of Argosy and its occupiers. Buildings with

Green Star ratings also benefit from climate adaptation planning

contributing to greater resilience. This drive toward certified

energy efficient Green Buildings is reflected in Argosy’s

strategic and financial planning as well as its plans for

acquisitions, developments and disposals.

Argosy is preparing its property portfolio for progressive

certification, which started with the 5 Green Star Office Built

rating obtained for the redevelopment of the historic Te Puni

Kōkiri House in March 2014. Since then, Argosy has obtained

Green Star ratings on a further ten buildings and has obtained

(4 star or better) NABERSNZ ratings on four of these buildings

and three other buildings. Our target is for 50% of the portfolio

(by market value) to be certified energy efficient Green Buildings

by

31 March 2031.

The development of certified energy efficient Green Buildings

has also provided Argosy with an opportunity to diversify

its funding through Green Bonds. At the date of this

report, Argosy has funding of $325 million from Green

Bonds supported by certified energy efficient Green Buildings

(including developments targeting such a certification) valued

at $722.5m.

Argosy relies on adoption provision 3 in paragraph 15 of NZ CS

2, which provides an exemption from disclosure of transition

plan aspects of its strategy, and the extent to which transition

plan aspects of its strategy are aligned with its internal

capital deployment and funding decision-making processes.

The discussion above addresses Argosy’s progress toward

developing the transition plan aspects of its strategy.

significant damage

to project timelines.

Extreme weather events are a risk under

each of the three future scenarios, however

there is no material impact at present. Risk is

assessed as very low over the short term in

each scenario, increasing to low in the medium

to long term under Scenarios 1 and 2 due to

moderate increases in severity of weather

events which could have minor impacts. Under

Scenario 3, risk increases to medium over

the medium to long term due to increase of

frequency and intensity of weather events.

However, climate adaptation measures will

create resilience leading to an assessment of

medium risk over the medium to long term. In

assessing climate-related risks, Management

has made an assumption that Councils in

built up areas will be able to maintain public

infrastructure over the long term. (Note that

there was no significant damage to Argosy’s

portfolio from the Auckland Floods or Cyclone

RISING SEA LEVELS -

Rising sea levels impact

coastal locations, leading

to increased insurance

premiums for affected

properties. Some

properties may become

stranded or permanently

unprofitable due to the

risk of inundation and

insurance retreat.

Sea level rise presents a very low to low

risk under Scenarios 1 and 2. Sea level

rise is assessed as presenting a medium

residual risk over the medium to long term

under Scenario 3, after taking into account

adaptation planning during the development/

redevelopment of buildings.

Climate Change

HEAT STRESS - Rising

temperature causes heat

stress creating increased

demand for cooling.

This increases energy

consumption for buildings

with air-conditioning,

increasing operating

costs. Potentially,

buildings without air-

conditioning may require

capital expenditure.

Under Scenarios 1 and 2, planned upgrades

of existing air-conditioning plant provide

opportunities to address emergent heat stress.

However, there is potential for heat stress

to affect areas of buildings without existing

air-conditioning (such as many warehouse

areas) under Scenario 3 in the medium to

long term. Heat stress could affect workers

or stock in such areas and may be harder to

mitigate as compared to areas with existing

air-conditioning equipment. However,

consideration of the potential for future

heat stress when developing/redeveloping

buildings should mitigate the risk under

Scenario 3 and the residual risk is rated as

medium.

INCREASED RAINFALL -

Increase in rainfall causing

also creates a mitigation

Increased rainfall will present a risk for

vulnerable buildings and an opportunity for

resilient buildings. This risk should be planned

for in acquisitions and new developments/

upgrades. Over the short term, some tenants

will be focused on resilience, particularly in

relation to floods under all three scenarios (to

which Argosy’s portfolio proved resilient in

the Auckland Floods). Tenant demand and

a practical need for resilience will grow as

climate impacts increase in frequency and

intensity, particularly under Scenario 3.

a risk for vulnerable

Adaptation studies should anticipate climate

adaptation/resilience requirements for

Scenarios 1 and 2 and mitigations implemented

over the short to medium term should be

effective in relation to these scenarios.

However, adaptation requirements for the

severe climate hazards under Scenario 3

require further investigation and proposed

mitigations have not yet been confirmed as

effective under Scenario 3 for the long term.

Climate Change

EFFICIENT BUILDINGS

- Stricter building

regulations and tenant

preferences focused

on decarbonisation

impose minimum energy

Risks arising from energy efficiency

requirements have greater impacts in the

short to medium term under Scenarios 1 and 2

and are particularly acute in Scenario 2 for the

medium term (2030-2050). However, Argosy’s

strategy to develop/redevelop green buildings

and reduce GHG emissions over the short to

medium term should mitigate the heightened

medium term transitional risk in Scenario 2.

There is little emphasis on decarbonisation

under Scenario 3 and this scenario presents

low risk (although severe physical impacts of

climate change create challenges for climate

adaptation and resilience).

Argosy’s strategy to develop Green Buildings

a) Processes for identifying, assessing and

managing climate-related risks

To facilitate consideration of climate-related risks, the

Risk Management Framework under which Argosy’s Risk

Management Committee operates has been updated to include

a risk appetite and criteria for identifying and assessing

climate-related risks arising from scenario analysis. The short,

medium and long term for assessing climate-related risks are

the same as the corresponding timeframe’s under Argosy’s

climate scenarios:

Short term:2024 – 2030

Medium term:2030 – 2050

Long term:2050 – 2100

In accordance with the updated Risk Management Framework,

the Risk Management Committee has analysed the climate

scenarios described above, identified climate-related risks and

opportunities and added them to Argosy’s Strategic Risk

Register. Controls and mitigations are developed where risks

are assessed as being outside Argosy’s risk appetite.

b) How processes for identifying, assessing, and

managing climate-related risks are integrated

into overall risk management processes

Amendments to the Risk Management Framework and

additions to the Strategic Risk Register described above have

been reviewed by the Board’s Audit and Risk Committee

and approved by the Board. In future, climate-related risks

and opportunities will be reviewed along with other risks in

accordance with Argosy’s Risk Management Framework.

The methods, assumptions and uncertainties in relation to the

calculation or estimation of Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions are

described below:

Scope 1, direct emissions: This category captures emissions

directly generated by Argosy's owned or controlled sources.

Data is collected from various sources: service contractors

provide information on refrigerant emissions and top-up

volumes, fuel card data helps track mobile combustion

emissions from company vehicles; and service providers offer

data on top-ups for stationary combustion sources like fire

pumps and backup generators.

Scope 2, indirect emissions from purchased energy within

Argosy's operational control: Electricity use contributes to

indirect emissions. Argosy gathers data from electricity

suppliers, invoices, and on-site electrical sub-metering to

calculate both electricity emissions and electricity distribution

loss emissions.

Scope 3, other indirect emissions: This scope encompasses all

other indirect emissions from Argosy's activities and emissions

are calcuated using emission factors as described below

(Source of emissions factors). Purchased goods and services

emissions, including emissions from maintenance across the

portfolio, are estimated using a spend-based methodology.

Waste management data comes from service provider weigh

stations, allowing for calculations of emissions from landfilled,

recycled (including plastics, cardboard and paper), and

composted waste. Business travel emissions are tracked – air

travel data comes directly from the verified provider, while taxi

and rental car emissions are estimated using spending data.

Employee commuting emissions are calculated based on road

mapping, transport mode, and commuting frequency.

Finally, data for leased buildings is calculated using tenant

electricity consumption or estimated using emissions factors

derived from similar buildings within Argosy's portfolio. This

includes estimating emissions from both tenant electricity

consumption and electricity distribution losses in those

leased assets.

Assets exposed to transition risks

All of Argosy’s property assets are potentially exposed to

transition risks arising under the climate scenarios described

in this report to some extent. For example, energy efficiency

requirements and the need for increased resilience.

Assets exposed to physical risks

All of Argosy’s properties are potentially exposed to physical

risks (climate scenarios described in this report, particularly

under climate scenario 3) to some extent. For example, climate

impacts from increases in the frequency and the severity of

acute weather events.

Climate-related opportunities

All of Argosy’s properties are potentially exposed to climate-

related opportunities under the climate scenarios described in

this report to some extent. For example, there is the potential

for properties to be upgraded such that they are more energy

efficient and resilient making them more attractive to tenants.

Capital deployment

Argosy had 14 Green Buildings with a total value of $683.4m as

at 31 March 2024.

Internal emissions price

For the year ended 31 March 2024, Argosy had an

internal emissions price of $21/tCO

2

e. This is the average

cost of offsetting Scope 1 and 2 carbon emissions for

Argosy’s certification under Toitū Envirocare’s Net Carbonzero

Programme. (The disclosure of emissions in this report is

not certified by Toitū Envirocare. Further information about

Argosy’s certification from Toitū Envirocare is provided in our

Sustainability Report). 

Remuneration

Argosy’s short term incentive scheme includes components

linked to climate-related risks and opportunities. For the year

ended 31 March 2024, 12% of the staff short term incentive,

and 12.5% of the CEO’s short-term incentive, were linked to the

development of Green Buildings.

INDUSTRY BASED METRICS

Argosy has an emissions reduction programme as part of our

Toitū Envirocare Net Carbonzero Programme, and a target for

50% of our portfolio to be Green Buildings by 31 March 2031.

Emissions reduction programme

In 2020, Argosy implemented an emissions reduction

programme with a base year to 31 December 2019 and a

target of achieving a 30% reduction in Scope 1 and Scope

2 emissions by 31 December 2030. Argosy was on track to

achieve emissions reductions under this programme. However,

to align the programme with the reporting period for our climate

related disclosures the base year has been changed for the

current year ended 31 March 2024.

The current year to 31 March 2024 is the new base year for the

programme, which now targets a 17.5% reduction in Argosy’s

emissions intensity for Scope 1 and 2 emissions (reported

above) by 31 March 2031. The emissions reduction target is an

intensity based target to reduce Argosy’s emissions, entered

into as part of Toitū Envirocare’s Net Carbonzero Programme.

Achieving this target will contribute to limiting global warming

by reducing Argosy’s emissions. However, it is not a science-

based target linked directly to Paris Agreement goals or the

specific goal of limiting global warming to 1.5°C.

For the year to 31 March 2024, Argosy is achieving a level

of emissions reductions consistent with the target. Argosy’s

Scope 1 and 2 emissions reduction programme does not rely

on carbon offsets. However, Argosy’s certification under Toitū

Envirocare’s Carbonzero Programme relies on carbon offsets for

emissions remaining after reductions under Argosy’s emissions

reduction programme.

Green Buildings

Argosy has a target that 50% of the buildings in its portfolio

(by market value) will be Green Buildings by 31 March 2031.

This is an intensity based target and increasing the number

of Green Buildings in Argosy’s portfolio contributes to limiting

global warming by increasing the energy efficiency of Argosy’s

portfolio. However, it is not a science-based target linked

directly to Paris Agreement goals or the specific goal of limiting

global warming to 1.5°C.

As at 31 March 2024, 35% of the Buildings in Argosy’s portfolio

were Green Buildings. Increasing the number of Green Buildings

in Argosy’s portfolio does not rely on carbon offsets.

GHG EMISSIONS
Standard under which emissions have been measured

Argosy’s emissions have been measured in accordance

with International Organization for Standardization. ISO

14064-1:2018 – Greenhouse gases – Part 1: Specification

with guidance at the organization level for quantification and

reporting of greenhouse gas emissions and removals. (ISO:

Geneva, Switzerland.)

Consolidation approach

Argosy has used an operational control approach for

consolidation of Scope 1 and 2 emissions. Although our

tenants are responsible for a large proportion of emissions,

an operational control approach is considered appropriate as

we maintain close relationships with tenants enabling us to

influence and enact change.

Source of emissions factors

Argosy collects data to track its emissions across the three

scopes. This data is collated using Toitū Envirocare’s Emanage

reporting platform. Most emissions factors are from "Measuring

emissions: A guide for organisations: 2023 emission factors

summary", published by the Ministry for the Environment. Other
