Precinct Properties Group (Precinct) (NZX: PCT) reported its financial results for the 12 months
ended 30 June 2024 today. Precinct’s core office performance has been strong with
increased leasing activity and rental growth achieved. This has resulted in Funds from
operations (FFO) from directly held investment portfolio of $126. 9 million, up 2. 9% (2023: $123.3
million). This has contributed to net operating income before tax of $103.6 million, reflecting
an increase of 1.5%

on the previous comparable period (2023: $102.1 million) with net
property income (NPI)
1
for the 12 months to 30 June 2024 of $139.3 million up 5. 8%
2
on the
previous comparable period (2023: $130.2 million).
Total comprehensive income after tax of ($30.1) million compares to ($147.5) million for the
same period last year, with the fair value of Precinct’s properties declining $105.2 million for
FY24. This compares to a $257.1 million devaluation recorded in FY23. While property
valuations have declined over the last 12 months as a result of elevated interest rates, it has
been particularly pleasing to see a stabilisation of property valuations in the second half of
the financial year with a lower interest rate environment expected over the near-term.
Precinct’s weighted average market capitalisation rate has softened on a like-for-like basis
from 5.6% to 5. 9% over the past twelve months.
Adjusted Funds from Operations (AFFO) adjusts for unrealised valuation movements and other
non-cash items. Precinct’s AFFO for the 2024 financial year was $106.2 million (June 2023:
$106.1 million) or 6.69 cps. Full year dividends paid to shareholders and attributed to the 2024
financial year totalled 6.75 cents per stapled security.
Gearing as measured under borrower covenant is 35 .2%, well under PCT borrower covenant
level of 50%. We are pleased with the resilience of our balance sheet through the downturn
in asset valuations over recent periods, which reflects a strategic approach to capital
management through the cycle. We will continue to proactively manage our capital

including advancing capital partnerships and capital recycling to support Precinct’s strategic
growth opportunities.
As at 30 June 2024, Precinct’s funds under management includes Precinct’s directly owned
portfolio totalling $3.3 billion, and capital partnerships including commercial and residential
developments totalling $1.6 billion (on completion value). After including the conditional
deals announced today, this grows to $1.8 billion with a further $3 billion in growth pipeline
including Dominion & Valley, Orams residential, Downtown Car P ark and other opportunities
currently being advanced.

Scott Pritchard Precinct CEO said, “Progressing further growth in the living sector during the
2024 financial year has reinforced our commitment to growing the platforms we have created
and participation in a market where we believe there is significant opportunity for our business
to outperform. Achieving strong performance across our core office portfolio, an established
capital partnering strategy and an improving investment environment is supporting Precinct
to deliver on our strategy.”
“Precinct’s entry into the student accommodation sector with the acquisition of 256 Queen
Street in Auckland to develop a PBSA facility is very exciting. E xtensive research is forecasting
strong demand and limited new supply in this sector in New Zealand and follows recognition
that this growth has delivered strong investment returns in cities with similar market dynamics
globally. We are leveraging our development expertise, city centre knowledge, residential
development experience and capital partnering platform to create new, best in class,
student accommodation. Working exclusively with a global capital partner to invest alongside
Precinct reflects the strong investment interest in the PBSA sector, Precinct’s track record and
reputation as a capable, professional and aligned capital partner.”
“We are also pleased with the growth in Precinct’s residential Build-to-Sell pipeline during the
period h aving secured the Dominion and Valley site for $13.25 million for a high-density
residential apartment development. Partnering with Orams Group to jointly develop their
large-scale residential site on one of Auckland’s best waterfront locations further
complements Precinct’s pipeline. Importantly, Precinct is leveraging its market position and

capabilities to secure this pipeline with a modest level of capital commitment, providing
optionality as the residential property market recovers.”
“Advancing the redevelopment of the Downtown Car Park site in Auckland with an
unconditional agreement during the period has also been a great result for our business. We
are very excited to be working in partnership with Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei and growing this
relationship to deliver a true mixed-use precinct encompassing office, residential, and
hospitality as well as new urban spaces for residents and the public. We are in exclusive
negotiations with a major occupier for approximately 40% of the office space. This
demonstrates the demand for businesses wanting to be located in high quality space located
on the waterfront and Precinct’s strong track record to deliver world-class transformational
outcomes.”
“We continue to see businesses investing in relocation to high quality buildings in premium
locations across Auckland’s city centre office sector.”
“With construction commencement expected to start in 2026, designs are now advancing
and planning for construction procurement has commenced. Early discussions with potential
capital partners to work alongside us on this transformational project are now underway.”
Operational performance
Our core portfolio continues to perform well with occupancy at 98% and a WALT of 6. 6 years
recorded as at 30 June 2024.
Leasing activity has been pleasing during the last 12 months. In total, 54 leasing transactions
were completed across 13,500 square metres of space. Including structured rent reviews,
Precinct completed a total of 149,550 square metres of reviews. Rental growth has been
strong with new office lease deals up 15. 9% and rent reviews achieving a 3.4% increase.
At 30 June 2024, Precinct’s portfolio is under-rented by 11.0% (June 2023: 10.6% under-rented).
Across our retail precincts, while occupancy levels remain robust, the impact of a slowing
economy has been evident with lower sales and trading performance recorded compared
to the previous comparable period. We do however expect to see an improvement in the
level of sales in the coming months with increased foot traffic and visitors over the holiday

period, together with growing consumer confidence in the view that interest rates have
peaked.
Development update
Precinct’s current active office development projects, the 61 Molesworth Street project in
Wellington and Wynyard Quarter Stage 3 in Auckland both remain on target for an expected
completion of Q3 2025 and Q1 2025, respectively.
Construction of FABRIC Stage 2 and the Domain Collection are progressing well and are on
schedule for completion in 2026. Outside the period, we are pleased to have entered into a
construction contract for York House in Parnell. In total, these three active residential
developments will deliver a total of 227 units and have a sales value of $431 million.
Dividend payment
Precinct shareholders will receive a fourth-quarter dividend for Precinct Properties New
Zealand Limited (“PPNZ”) of 1.497500 cents per share in cash dividends. This dividend has no
imputation credits to attach for the quarter and therefore no supplementary dividend to be
paid (see note 2).
Precinct shareholders will also receive a fourth-quarter dividend for Precinct Properties
Investments Limited (“PPIL”) of 0.203799 cents per share, comprising cash of 0.190000 cents
per share, imputation credits of 0.009492 cents per share and a supplementary dividend of
0.004307 cents per share (see note 2).
The record date for both PPNZ and PPIL dividends above is 6 September 2024 and payment
will be made on 20 September 2024.
Outlook and guidance
Precinct’s core portfolio performance has delivered strong results over the last 12 months
reflecting the quality of our real estate. We are encouraged by the continued demand for
premium grade office space. This demand, combined with under renting of 11% should
underpin rental growth for our business.
In addition, our capital partnering platforms, growing relationships and attractive
development pipeline are all supporting Precinct’s long term strategic growth across our living

sector opportunities. However, weak economic conditions are leading to reduced consumer
demand, which is leading to lower sales across Precinct’s retail and operating businesses.
The legislative change to remove tax depreciation on commercial properties will have an
impact on earnings. However, Precinct is well positioned and remains confident in its mid-long
term earnings outlook. A growth pipeline totalling around $3 billion across purpose built
student accommodation, residential and commercial development, combined with a more
certain interest rate environment provide Precinct confidence in its earnings and dividend
profile.
The Board expects the dividend for the 2025 financial year to be held stable at 6.75 per
stapled security to be paid to shareholders.

Note 1
AFFO is a non-GAAP financial measure that shows the organisation's underlying and recurring earnings from its operations and is
considered industry best practice for a REIT. This is determined by adjusting statutory net profit (under IFRS) for certain non-cash and
other items. AFFO has been determined based on guidelines established by the Property Council of Australia and is intended as a
supplementary measure of operating performance.
This additional performance measure is provided to assist shareholders in assessing their returns for the period.
Note 2
A supplementary dividend is paid to non-resident shareholders to offset the amount of non-resident withholding tax (“NRWT”) that
New Zealand companies are required to deduct from dividends paid to non-resident shareholders. A supplementary dividend is
paid to ensure equitable treatment between non-resident shareholders and resident shareholders (whose dividends are not subject
to NRWT).
Note 3
All portfolio metrics are as at 30 June 2024 and reflect Precinct's direct ownership in assets, unless otherwise stated.

Partnering with capital on passive
assets enhances Precinct's return on
capital by generating management
fees, while retaining exposure to high-
quality assets and freeing up capital for
future investments.
Investing in value-add opportunities
alongside capital partners leverages
Precinct’s expertise in repositioning,
releasing, and realising value, delivering
a higher return on the invested capital
through a moderate risk profile.
Capital partnering on development
assets enables Precinct to leverage
its core development capabilities
without committing excessive capital
to development, while participating in
enhanced returns through development
management and performance fees.

Chair’s report
On behalf of the Board &
Management Team, we are
pleased to present Precinct’s
2024 Annual Report.
Precinct has successfully
advanced a number of
strategic transactions for
our business which have
extended Precinct’s real
estate offering.
Anne Urlwin, Independent Director and Chair
FY24 performance
Precinct’s business performance over the last twelve
months has delivered a pleasing result with net
property income of $139.3 million achieved for FY24
(June 2023: $130.2 million). This has contributed to net
operating income before tax of $103.6 million, up 1.5%
on the previous year (June 2023: $102.1 million). Total
comprehensive income after tax was ($30.1) million, this
compared to ($147.5) million in the previous year. Adjusted
funds from operations (AFFO) is 6.69 cps (June 2023: 6.69
cps). Our full-year dividend to shareholders is 6.75 cents
per stapled security.
Board changes
During the period, Chris Meads was appointed as an
Independent Director and elected at the 2023 Annual
Meeting of Shareholders. Alana Barron joined Precinct
through the Future Director Programme in an observer
capacity in November 2023 for a one-year term. During
the period, my appointment as Chair of Precinct also took
effect. We believe our Board is composed of individuals
with a wide range of skills, experiences, and backgrounds
which ensure that we have a balanced representation to
guide our company effectively. This year, the People and
Performance Committee reviewed the skills of the Board
and a Directors' skills matrix is presented in the Corporate
Governance section of this report.
Sustainability
Our Sustainability strategy continues to focus on how we
can reduce our material negative impacts and scale our
positive impacts to maximise positive contributions to the
community and create long-term value for Precinct.
This year, in addition to including our impacts on people
and planet and how we are managing those impacts,
Precinct will present its climate-related disclosures in
accordance with the External Reporting Board's (XRB)
Aotearoa New Zealand Climate Standards.
Precinct’s climate related disclosures will be published in
October 2024 and will be available on Precinct’s website.
Dividend guidance
The Board expects total combined cash dividends for
Precinct Properties New Zealand Limited and Precinct
Properties Investments Limited for the 2025 financial year
to be 6.75 cents per stapled security.
On behalf of the Precinct Board, I would like to thank
the management team and all our people at Precinct
for their ongoing commitment. Precinct is made up of a
diverse group of individuals with a shared purpose and
intention to ensure that the spaces which are created
have a lasting impact on how people interact.
We look forward to the year ahead and delivering
long term value for all our stakeholders, including you,
our shareholders.

Advancing Precinct's strategic growth in the living sector
demonstrates our commitment to further growth in this area.
During the year, Precinct advanced its strategic growth in
the living sector with:
•Precinct’s entry into PBSA with the acquisition of 256
Queen Street.
•Growth in Precinct’s residential Build-to-Sell pipeline,
with the entry into an agreement with Eke Panuku
Development Auckland to conditionally acquire a site
at the junction of Dominion Road & Valley Road for a
high-density residential apartment development; and
•Reflecting strategic progress on Precinct’s living sector
activities, a move to 100% ownership of Precinct
Properties Residential Limited, the joint venture
established with Tim and Andrew Lamont in 2022.
We are excited to be growing the platforms we have
created and participate in a market where we see
significant opportunity over the long term. Furthering
our investment and simplifying our business in the living
sector is highly consistent with our capital partnering
strategy, with strong investment appetite from capital
partners for high quality investment opportunities in
this sector.
With the strong progress in our living strategy over the
last 18 months, we have simplified this part of our business
through acquiring the remaining 50 per cent interest in
the residential development management business joint
venture, PPRL.

Capital partnerships
Precinct has continued to execute on its capital
partnership strategy, with a focus on value-add and
residential sectors.
Progress made during the period includes:
•In partnership with PAG, forming the $140 million joint
venture with Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei to invest in the
regeneration of Te Tōangaroa precinct.
•Commenced construction of two new build-to-sell
apartment developments on behalf of capital
partners, with a total sales value of circa $300 million
incl. GST.
•Advanced the Wynyard Quarter Stage 3 development
which is on track for completion in FY25. The project
will be completed by Precinct Pacific Investment
Limited Partnership, Precinct will continue to manage
the properties under the terms of an investment
management agreement and has a 24.9% ownership
interest in the Limited Partnership.
Post balance date, working exclusively with a preferred
capital partner to invest alongside Precinct’s PBSA
investment, subject to certain conditions being satisfied.
Precinct will hold an interest of 20%. This reflects the
strong investment interest in the PBSA sector, Precinct’s
track record and reputation as a capable, professional
and aligned capital partner.
Downtown Car Park site
Advancing the redevelopment of the Downtown Car
Park site in Auckland with an unconditional agreement
during the period has also been a great result for
our business. We are very excited to be working in
partnership with Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei and growing
this relationship to deliver a true mixed-use precinct
encompassing office, residential, and hospitality as well
as new urban spaces for residents and the public.
Post balance date, we are in exclusive negotiations
with a major occupier for circa 40% of the office
space. This demonstrates the demand for businesses
wanting to be located in high quality space located
on the waterfront and Precinct's strong track record
to deliver world-class transformational outcomes. With
construction commencement expected to start in 2026,
designs are now advancing and planning for construction
procurement has commenced. Early discussions with
potential capital partners to work alongside us on this
transformational project are now underway.
Residential development platform
Our strategy for our residential development
platform is to create a valuable, high quality
business in its own right. We are pleased with the
progress being made on key opportunities and
how we are growing our pipeline.
Further growth in Precinct’s residential Build-to-
Sell pipeline
Post balance date, Precinct has entered into a conditional
agreement with Orams Group to jointly develop their
significant waterfront site at Wynyard Quarter including
a small scale commercial development and large
scale residential development site. The agreement
is conditional upon agreeing and finalising full-form
transaction documentation and approval from Auckland
Council (as ground lessor).
Outlook
Precinct’s core portfolio performance has delivered
strong results over the last 12 months reflecting the
quality of our real estate. We are encouraged by the
continued demand for premium grade office space. This
demand, combined with under renting of 11% should
underpin rental growth for our business. In addition,
our capital partnering platforms, growing relationships
and attractive development pipeline are all supporting
Precinct’s long-term strategic growth across our living
sector opportunities. However, weak economic conditions
are leading to reduced consumer demand, which is
leading to lower sales across Precinct’s retail and
operating businesses. The legislative change to remove
tax depreciation on commercial properties will have
an impact on earnings. However, Precinct is well
positioned and remains confident in its mid-long term
earnings outlook. A growth pipeline totalling around
$3 billion across purpose built student accommodation,
residential and commercial development, combined with
a more certain interest rate environment provide Precinct
confidence in its earnings and dividend profile.

FY24 Results
Overview
Precinct Properties Group18
As at 30 June 2024, Precinct’s
portfolio was $3.2 billion
(30 June 2023: $3.4 billion)
and Precinct's net tangible
asset (NTA) per share was
$1.29 (30 June 2023: $1.38).
Precinct’s core office performance has been strong with
increased leasing activity and rental growth achieved.
This has resulted in Funds from operations (FFO) from
directly held investment portfolio of $126.9 million, up
2.9% (2023: $123.3 million). This has contributed to net
operating income before tax of $103.6 million, reflecting
an increase of 1.5% on the previous comparable period
(2023: $102.1 million) with net property income (NPI)
1
for
the 12 months to 30 June 2024 of $139.3 million up 5.8%
2
on
the previous comparable period (2023: $130.2 million).
Total comprehensive income after tax of ($30.1) million
compares to ($147.5) million for the same period last
year, with the fair value movement across the value of
Precinct’s properties declining $105.2 million for FY24. This
compares to a $257.1 million devaluation in FY23.
1 Net property income excludes IFRS 16 rent expense allocation
2 Net of straight line rent adjustments, following a change in calculation adopted in the period.
Adjusted Funds from Operations (AFFO)
FFO and AFFO are measures used by real estate
entities to describe the underlying performance
from their operations. Aligning dividends with
AFFO is generally considered to be best practice
for real estate entities. FFO and AFFO are defined
in more detail on page 25.
FFO for the year increased to $114.5 million (June
2023: $114.0 million) or 7.22 cps. AFFO for the year
was $106.2 million (June 2023: $106.1 million), or
6.69 cps.
Precinct's AFFO payout ratio over the past 5 years
has averaged 101%.
While property valuations have declined over the last
12 months as a result of an elevated interest rates, it
has been particularly pleasing to see a stabilisation of
property valuations in the second half of the financial
year and a lower interest rate environment expected
over the near-term. Precinct’s weighted average market
capitalisation rate has softened on a like-for-like basis
from 5.6% to 5.9% over the past twelve months.
Adjusted Funds from Operations (AFFO) adjusts statutory
net profit (under IFRS) for certain non-cash and other
items. Precinct’s AFFO for the 2024 financial year was
$106.2 million (June 2023: $106.1 million) or 6.69 cps.

FY24 Results Overview
Capital management
During the period, Precinct settled the sale of 40
Bowen Street and 44 Bowen Street in Wellington, sold
the Mason Bros. building in Auckland and issued a
$150 million subordinated convertible note. Net proceeds
were used to repay bank debt. We are pleased with
the capital management initiatives achieved during the
year. Looking ahead, a key priority will be to proactively
progress additional capital management initiatives
including capital recycling which will reduce gearing
and support Precinct’s strategic growth opportunities.
Another highlight for the period was securing Precinct's
first green bank facility, which will be used to fund the 61
Molesworth Street development. This project is targeting
a six star Green Star rating, and it is pleasing to have
secured an attractive facility at a margin below existing
syndicated facilities which reflects the quality of both the
asset and the underlying lease. Precinct also refinanced
existing bank debt with new syndicated facilities totalling
$700 million. These facilities provide sufficient liquidity
to repay Precinct’s bonds and USPP due to mature in
November and January, respectively.
At balance date Precinct’s total borrowings were
$1,320.0 million (30 June 2023: $1,246.7 million). Precinct's
gearing as measured under borrower covenants which
disregard subordinated debt is 35.2% against the
covenant of 50% (30 June 2023: 38.0%). Total debt
facilities of around $1.7 billion at 30 June 2024 and
Precinct was 99% hedged following de-gearing and
associated repayment of floating debt (June 2023:
72%). The weighted average interest rate including all fees
was 5.4% at 30 June 2024 (30 June 2023: 5.6%).
We are focused
on additional capital
management initiatives to
support Precinct's strategic
growth opportunities.

Operational update
Our core portfolio continues to perform well with
occupancy at 98% and a weighted average lease term
of 6.6 years at 30 June 2024. Leasing activity has been
pleasing during the last 12 months. In total, 54 leasing
transactions were completed across 13,500 square metres
of space. Including structured rent reviews, Precinct
completed a total of 149,550 square metres of reviews.
Rental growth has been strong with new office lease
deals up 15.9% and rent reviews achieving a 3.4% increase.
At 30 June 2024 Precinct’s portfolio is under-rented by
11.0% (June 2023: 10.6% under-rented).

2Funds from operations (FFO) is the organisation’s underlying and recurring earnings from its operations. This is determined by adjusting
statutory net profit (under IFRS) for certain non-cash and other items. FFO has been determined based on guidelines established by the
Property Council of Australia and is intended as a supplementary measure of operating performance.
3Adjusted funds from operations (AFFO) is determined by adjusting FFO for other non-cash and other items which have not been adjusted in
determining FFO. A dividend payout ratio of 100% indicates a company is neither over or under paying dividend. AFFO is considered a measure
of operating cash flow generated from the business, after providing for all operating capital requirements including maintenance capital
expenditure, tenant improvement works, incentives and leasing costs. While AFFO overcomes the limitations of FFO by considering the impact
of capital requirements for operations, it can vary dramatically year over year, depending on the lease expiry profile and level of activity in any
one period.

Corporate
Governance
Precinct Properties Group34
Introduction
The Board of Directors is responsible for the governance
of Precinct and is committed to ensuring Precinct
maintains best practice corporate governance with
the highest ethical standards and integrity. Precinct's
Corporate Governance Manual guides both the directors
and the representatives of Precinct. It includes a Code
of Ethics, Board and Committee Charters and Policies
on Securities Trading, Audit Independence, Diversity
and Inclusion, Continuous Disclosure, Takeover and
Shareholder Communications.
This section of the Annual Report reflects Precinct’s
compliance with the requirements of the NZX Corporate
Governance Code revised on 1 April 2023. Precinct's
Corporate Governance Manual is available on Precinct’s
website (www.precinct.co.nz) in the News and Investor
Information section together with a statement of how
Precinct's corporate governance policies, practices and
processes comply with the NZX Corporate Governance
Code as at
30 June 2024. If any investor would like a copy
sent to them, please contact Precinct investor relations.
Principle 1 – Ethical Standards
Directors set high standards of ethical behaviour, model
this behaviour and hold management accountable
for these standards being followed throughout
the organisation.
Ensuring that Precinct is governed transparently and to
the highest of ethical standards and integrity is one
of the key priorities for the Board. Precinct's Code of
Ethics and Financial Products Dealing Policy are set out
in the Corporate Governance Manual and are compliant
in all respects with the NZX Corporate Governance
Code recommendations.
Code of Ethics – The purpose and intent of Precinct's
Code of Ethics is to guide directors, representatives and
subsidiaries of Precinct so that their business conduct is
consistent with high business standards. The Code is not
intended to be an exhaustive list of acceptable and non-
acceptable behaviour, rather it is intended to facilitate
decisions that are consistent with Precinct’s business
standards, objectives and legal and policy obligations.
All persons are encouraged to report of any breaches of
the Code, which will be dealt with appropriately. Precinct
ensures Code of Ethics training is provided to all staff at
least every three years and all new starters are provided
with an induction that includes training on Precinct's
Code of Ethics. The Code of Ethics is reviewed annually
by the Precinct Boards.
Whistleblower Policy – Precinct's Corporate Governance
Manual (which is available on Precinct's website) includes
a whistle-blowing policy for reporting unethical or
unlawful behaviour. Precinct is currently considering the
appointment of a third-party agency to operate a 'speak
up' channel to support Precinct's whistle-blowing policy.
Financial Product Dealing Policy – The Financial Product
Dealing Policy applies to all directors and officers of
Precinct and employees. No director, officer or employee
may use their position of knowledge of Precinct or its
business to engage in dealing with any Precinct listed
financial products for personal benefit or to provide
benefit to any third party.
Principle 2 – Board Composition
and Performance
There is a balance of independence, skills, knowledge,
experience and perspectives among directors to ensure
an effective Board.
Precinct currently has six directors, all of whom
are independent (as defined by the NZX Listing
Rules). Precinct undertakes a regular review of Board
composition to ensure Board membership comprises a
range of appropriate skills and experience so that it
has a proper understanding of and competence to deal
with the current and emerging issues of the business,
can effectively review and challenge the performance of
management and can exercise independent judgement.
The Chair meets regularly with directors of Precinct to
discuss individual performance of directors. The Boards
regularly review their performance as a whole. When
considering the appointment of Chris Meads in 2023, the
Boards reviewed the skills of each director and believe the
individual expertise and experience of all current directors
as set out in the Board of Directors section of this report
meet the objectives of Precinct. Precinct's Directors Skills
Matrix is set out on page 38.
Given Graeme Wong's upcoming retirement from the
Boards at Precinct's annual shareholder meeting in
November, the People and Performance Committee is
currently undertaking a recruitment process for a new
director to fill that vacancy. Precinct expects to be in
a position to propose the new independent director
for election by shareholders at the annual meeting of
shareholders in November. Precinct has also committed
to appoint a Future Director as part of the Institute of
Advancing Strategic Growth

Corporate Governance
Directors programme and was delighted to appoint our
first Future Director (Alana Barron) in November 2023.
All Precinct directors are non-executive and the
Board composition and performance is compliant in
all respects with the NZX Corporate Governance
Code recommendations.
Precinct will notify the market of a reclassification of
a non-independent director to independent director (or
vice versa).
Directors are encouraged to own shares in Precinct. In
the case of Independent Directors, the Precinct Boards
have resolved that Independent Directors are expected to
generally hold, as a minimum, shares equal in value to
50% of one year's director base fees (before tax), and to
accumulate this holding over the first three years in office.
Independent Chair – Precinct's Chair - Anne Urlwin - is an
independent director, having regard to the factors set out
in the NZX Corporate Governance Code. Anne Urlwin is
independent of the Company's CEO.
Independent Directors – We are committed to ensuring
that a majority of directors are independent of Precinct,
and do not have any interests, positions, associations
or relationships which might interfere, or might be
seen to interfere, with their ability to bring independent
judgement to the issues before the Boards. Having regard
to the factors set out in the NZX Corporate Governance
Code, as at 30 June 2024, the Board determined that the
following persons were independent directors of Precinct:
Anne Urlwin (Chair), Graeme Wong, Chris Meads, Nicola
Greer, Mark Tume and Chris Judd. Each of these directors
is subject to appointment by Precinct shareholders and is
required to retire by rotation.
Subsidiary Company Directors – The directors for each
of Precinct's subsidiary companies are all executive
appointments and as at 30 June 2024 are Scott Pritchard,
George Crawford, Richard Hilder and Louise Rooney.
Board Charter – Precinct's Corporate Governance Manual
includes the Board's Charter which sets out the roles and
responsibilities of the Board and management.
Board Appointment – The People and Performance
Committee assists the Boards in planning their
composition and is responsible for managing the Boards'
succession requirements and for nominating new director
appointments. All directors enter into a written agreement
setting out the terms of their appointment.
Independent Advice
– Each director has access to
independent advice from specialists and/or executives
within Precinct, as a means of receiving assurance
information and the entire Executive Team attends Board
meetings in order to provide information directly to the
Board. The CFO, Company Secretary and other relevant
Precinct staff members have unfettered access to Board
members at any time and without reference to the CEO.
Diversity and Inclusion Policy – Precinct's Diversity and
Inclusion Policy is included in Precinct's Corporate
Governance Manual and includes measurable objectives
which are assessed annually. The Boards have developed
this policy with management to encourage a diverse
and inclusive working environment at all levels of the
organisation to recruit and retain the best talent from
the widest pool of candidates and build a culture
where diversity of gender, age, ethnicity, orientation,
background, experience, skills, thought, ideas, styles and
perspective are leveraged and valued.
The gender composition of directors, officers and
management employees is as follows:

1For the purposes of measuring and reporting gender diversity, the
term 'officers' is defined as the CEO and those who are in the
Executive team and report to the CEO.
Supporting the efforts to increase diversity across the
management team are secondary policies and practices
including the Equal Opportunities, Recruitment and
Selection, Study Assistance and Remuneration Policies
together with a Culture Charter and biennial anonymous
staff surveys. To ensure workplace diversity continues
to evolve and be enhanced, a matrix of key objectives
and monitoring is undertaken on an on-going basis.
During the year, Precinct engaged PwC to assist Precinct
to understand its gender pay gap. Following the 2023
annual salary review, a gender pay gap analysis was
completed across the business, key findings can be found
in the Remuneration Report. The Board believes that for
FY24, Precinct has continued to make progress towards
achieving its measurable objectives and goals against its
Precinct Properties Group
36
Diversity and Inclusion Policy, and will continue to focus
on diversity targets for FY25.

Board Performance – The Board regularly reviews its performance including its collective skills, knowledge, experience and
perspectives to identify any shortcomings and ensure that it effectively governs Precinct and monitors performance in
the interests of shareholders. This includes reviewing director tenure to ensure the independence majority is maintained.

Directors' skills matrix
The Board has developed the following Directors' skills
matrix to ensure the Board has the appropriate skills,
knowledge and experience among directors to ensure an
effective Board. The People & Performance Committee
regularly assesses these skills when recruiting new
directors and evaluating Board performance. The matrix
to the right reflects the director attributes which the Board
considers are required to oversee Precinct’s strategic
business objectives. Precinct believes assessing the level
of skills and experience collectively, rather than on an
individual basis, is the most appropriate means to
demonstrate Board effectiveness and reflects the benefits
of diversity of director experience. The allocations in the
matrix reflect each Director's assessment of the current
skills he or she believes they bring to the Board and
highlights the different attributes held collectively by the
Precinct Board of Directors.

Principle 3 – Board Committees
The Board uses committees where this enhances
effectiveness in key areas while still retaining
Board responsibility.
For the year to 30 June 2024, there were three standing
committees of the Board, being the Audit and Risk
Committee, the People and Performance Committee and
the Environmental, Social and Governance Committee.
Our Board committees are compliant in all respects with
the NZX Corporate Governance Code recommendations.
The charters that exist for each committee can be
found in the Precinct Governance Manual together with
Precinct's Takeover Policy.
As outlined in each Board committee charter, the Chair
of each meeting of each Board committee is required to
report back to the Board on key points of discussion and
present the recommendations of the Board committee at
the next scheduled meeting of the Board, not being less
than once a year. The Board continually evaluates the
performance and work of each Board committee with the
Chair of the relevant Board committee in regular contact
with all Board members between meetings as part of its
evaluation process. As part of this process, the Board shall
undertake an annual review of each Board committee’s
objectives and activities in terms of its responsibilities as
set out in the relevant Board committee charter.
The Audit and Risk Committee at balance date comprised
Mark Tume as Chair, Anne Urlwin, Nicola Greer and Chris
Meads. The committee has a majority of independent
directors and complies with recommendation 3.1. None
of the committee members are executive directors.
The committee assists the Board in discharging its
duties with respect to financial reporting, compliance
and risk management. Employees may attend Audit
and Risk Committee meetings at the invitation of the
committee. The Audit and Risk Committee supervises the
financial reporting, climate related disclosures reporting,
compliance and risk management practices of Precinct to
ensure accuracy and objectivity.
The Environment, Social and Governance ("ESG")
Committee was established in May 2021 and at balance
date comprised Nicola Greer as Chair, Anne Urlwin,
Graeme Wong and Chris Judd. The committee has a
majority of independent directors and complies with
recommendation 3.5.
During FY24 the ESG Committee held two committee
meetings. Precinct’s CEO, Deputy CEO, CFO, Head of
Sustainability and other key representatives across the
business also attend the meetings to set objectives,
review Precinct’s Climate Risk register, track updates
and discuss and approve current and future strategic
initiatives which help manage Precinct’s impacts on the
economy, environment and people.
The People and Performance Committee at balance
date comprised Graeme Wong as Chair, Anne Urlwin,
Chris Judd and Chris Meads. The committee has a
majority of independent directors and complies with
recommendation 3.3 and 3.4. The committee's purpose
is to:
•provide guidance to the Board when approving
the remuneration of directors and key
management personnel;
•assist the Board in planning the Board’s composition,
evaluating competencies required of prospective
directors and to make relevant recommendations to
the Board; and
•oversee Precinct’s people policies, practices
and procedures.
The People and Performance Committee has a strong
focus on Board succession planning. Management only
attend meetings of the committee by invitation.
The Due Diligence Committee is an ad hoc committee
that is established by the Board from time to time to
provide guidance and recommendations to the Board on
the due diligence for any transaction of a significant size
and/or complexity. A Due Diligence Process Memorandum
is agreed each time the Committee is established
setting out its duties, responsibilities and scope. One Due
Diligence Committee was established during the year to
consider the convertible note issue. The Due Diligence
Committee for the convertible note issue met three times

Principle 4 – Reporting and Disclosures
The Board demands integrity in financial and non-
financial reporting and in the timeliness and balance of
corporate disclosures.
The Board is committed to ensuring the highest
standards are maintained in financial and non-financial
reporting and disclosure of all relevant information and
is compliant in all respects with the NZX Corporate
Governance Code recommendations. A copy of Precinct's
Continuous Disclosure Policy can be found in the Precinct
Governance Manual.
The Audit and Risk Committee oversees the quality and
timeliness of all financial reports, including all disclosure
documents issued by Precinct or any of its subsidiaries.
Precinct has moved toward integrated reporting and the
annual report includes information on Precinct's:
•Business model
•Strategy and key performance indicators
•Risk management
•Sustainability framework, and
•Remuneration framework.
Precinct reports in accordance with GRI Standards, shown
in the Sustainability Report.
Precinct reports its climate-related risks and
opportunities in accordance with the Aotearoa New
Zealand Climate Standards. These will be available
at Precinct’s website in October 2024 as well
as alongside our peers on the public registry
located here: https://www.companiesoffice.govt.nz/all-
registers/climate-related-disclosures/.
Climate-related risks are included in Precinct’s Risk
Register which forms part of the Audit & Risk papers,
ensuring that Precinct’s climate risks are appropriately
reviewed and assessed and receive regular oversight via
the Audit and Risk Committee.
Principle 5 – Remuneration
The remuneration of directors and executives is
transparent, fair and reasonable.
Following the internalisation of the management of
Precinct in 2021, additional disclosures have been made in
our Remuneration Report to ensure that remuneration of
both directors and management personnel is transparent,
fair and reasonable by aligning it with interests of the
Company and its shareholders.
Director remuneration was reviewed during 2023 by
independent advisers, PwC. At Precinct's ASM in
November 2023, shareholders approved an increase
in Independent Director fees (other than the Chair's
fee) to reflect increased regulatory risk and obligations
increasing demand on Directors’ time and broadening
their scope of responsibilities. The increase in fees
also reflected the growing complexity of Precinct's
business and strategic approach. When assessed across
total director fees, the average increase approved by
shareholders was approximately 10%.
Precinct's policy is to engage an external review
of director remuneration every two years. Precinct
makes a summary report of any independent director
remuneration review available on its website.
Our remuneration practices are compliant with the NZX
Corporate Governance Code recommendations.
More information on remuneration of directors and
executives can be found within the Remuneration Report.

Principle 6 – Risk Management
The Board has a sound understanding of the material
risks faced by the business and how to manage them.
The Board regularly verifies that the Company has
appropriate processes that identify and manage potential
and material risks.
The Board has a risk management and reporting
framework in place that identifies and manages risk that
may impact the business and complies with the NZX
Governance Code recommendations in all respects.
Risk Register – A Risk Register is maintained which
identifies key risks to the business, records the likelihood
and impact of each risk and steps to mitigate the same.
The Audit and Risk Committee oversees the risk register
and reviews it regularly with management to track
existing risks and the emergence of new risks. The results
of each review are reported to and reviewed by the
Board. The Risk Register is further reviewed when required
in the event the Due Diligence Committee is formed.
Financial Risk Management Policy – Our Financial Risk
Management Policy details our approach to managing
financial risks and the policies and controls that are
required to mitigate the likelihood of financial risks
resulting in an adverse outcome. This policy is reviewed
by the Board annually.
Insurance – Insurance cover is in place for insurable
liability and general business risk. The primary objective
of our annual insurance programme is to protect
shareholders from material loss in the value of assets
as a result of events such as fire, natural disaster or
accidental damage. This approach protects creditors and
bondholders as well.
Audit – Ernst & Young (EY) are engaged during the year
to audit and review our financial statements. Precinct
also regularly undertakes internal audit progammes to
ensure continuous improvement of Precinct's systems
and processes.
Health and Safety – Health and safety policies are
embedded throughout the business and overseen by
Management's Health and Safety Committee. Reporting
and escalation processes are in place to the Audit and
Risk Committee and the Board.
More detail on how Precinct manages its key business
risks can be found under Risk Management in this section.
Principle 7 – Auditors
The Board ensures the quality and independence of the
external audit process.
Oversight of Precinct’s external audit arrangements is
the responsibility of the Audit and Risk Committee. We
do not have a dedicated internal audit resource but
we do maintain an annual internal audit programme,
which is overseen by the CFO and draws on the
expertise of consultants and employees. Ensuring that
external audit independence is maintained is one of
the key aspects in discharging this responsibility. The
Policy on Audit Independence, detailed in the Corporate
Governance Manual, has been adopted by the Audit
and Risk Committee. This policy is compliant with
the NZX Corporate Governance Code and covers the
following areas:
•Provision of related assurance services by Precinct’s
external auditors;
•Rotation of key external audit personnel; and
•Relationships between the auditor and Precinct.
The Board shall only approve a firm to be auditor if that
firm would be regarded by a reasonable investor with
full knowledge of all relevant facts and circumstances
as capable of exercising objective and impartial
judgement on all issues encompassed within the auditor’s
engagement. The continued appointment of Precinct’s
external auditors is confirmed annually by the Audit
and Risk Committee following the committees review of
the external auditors performance and independence.
Rotation of Precinct’s client service partner and the
lead and concurring audit partners of Precinct and its
subsidiaries is required every five years with suitable
succession planning.
The external auditors annually confirm their compliance
with professional standards and ethical guidelines of
Chartered Accountants Australia and New Zealand
(CAANZ) to evidence their competence, as well as attend
Precinct's annual meeting to answer questions from
shareholders in relation to the audit. Precinct's audit firm
EY also provided other assurance services which include
agreed upon procedures in respect of operating expense
statement review and green bond assurance. The first
year of appointment of audit firm EY was 1997 and the
first date of appointment of the current engagement
partner, Susan Jones (EY) was 1 July 2022. Potential
conflicts are resolved on a case by case basis between
auditing and other accounting services provided by EY.
Former partners of EY will not be appointed as directors of
Precinct for so long as EY continues to audit Precinct.

Corporate Governance
Principle 8 – Shareholder rights and relations
The Board respects the rights of shareholders and
fosters constructive relationships with shareholders that
encourage them to engage with the Company.
The Board is committed to achieving best practice
investor relations. Financial and operational information
and key corporate governance information (including
Precinct's Shareholder Communications Policy) can be
accessed at
www.precinct.co.nz.
An annual investor relations plan has been established
and is reviewed annually. This plan details the investor
relations approach to e-communications, roadshows,
investor briefings, site visits, blackout periods, financial
reporting and other items. Enquiries from shareholders
can be voiced at the Annual Shareholder Meeting,
or emailed through using the contact details on our
website. A key objective of the plan is to ensure accurate
continuous disclosure to the NZX.
Precinct shareholder approval of major decisions which
may change the nature of Precinct is sought. In 2023
Precinct lodged a copy of its notice of annual meeting
on its website at least 20 working days prior to its annual
shareholder meeting and published a virtual meeting
guide ahead of that meeting. Where practicable, Precinct
endeavours to hold its shareholder meetings as hybrid
meetings but may from time to time hold a virtual-only
meeting where Precinct believes the physical meeting
will be poorly attended (such as the special shareholder
meeting to approve the stapling proposal).
The 2024 Annual Meeting of
Shareholders (ASM) is scheduled for:
15 November 2024
It will be a hybrid (physical and virtual)
Shareholder Meeting with more details on the
meeting to be provided in the coming months.
Precinct Properties Group42

under the ticker code ‘PCT’. The implications of Stapling
are further described in a notice of special meeting of

Key Business Risks
External
Risks and impactsHow we manage the riskChangeMovement in the period
Economy and property market
Market risk arises from adverse
changes in the New Zealand
economic environment, regulatory
environment and the broader
investment market. Changes may
result in an impact in property
values and amount of income
generated by them.
Maintain a proactive and
strategic approach to manage
property risks it can influence.
Providing quality premises
matched by high service
levels and building
strong relationships.
Undertake annual business
planning process to review the
portfolio and help mitigate
these risks.
▲
The conditions in the New Zealand
economy are changing with domestic
inflation continuing to decline and
expected to return to targeted range
over the medium-term.
While property valuations have
declined over the last 12 months as
a result of elevated interest rates, it
has been particularly pleasing to see
a stabilisation of property valuations in
the second half of the financial year
with a lower interest rate environment
expected over the near-term.
Precinct’s directly held investment
properties continue to perform well
with the strength of our office markets
and the demand for premium-grade
space in Auckland and Wellington
remaining robust.
Occupier market and client default
A weakening occupier market
through lack of business activity
and investment, as well as
unanticipated client default, can
directly impact the income and
value of each individual asset.
Precinct Properties Group44
Risks and impactsHow we manage the riskChangeMovement in the period
Insurance risk
The risk of being unable to
continue to obtain insurance cover,
or following an event, not having
sufficient cover in place to repay
creditors. This could result in
significant business interruption.
Engage directly with a
wide range of local and
international insurers.
Ensure the insurance market has
a good understanding of the
portfolio and its risks.
►
Following a period of high insurance
premiums, there has been a slight
reduction in the period, particularly
in Wellington.
Precinct continues to proactively
engage with the insurance market
on renewals and continues to
secure coverage.
Climate risk
Climate risk includes physical
risks (acute and chronic) and
transitional risks.
Physical risks could include events
such as flooding, severity and
frequency of storms and sea level
rise. These risks could reduce
revenue, increase maintenance
capex and reduce asset values.
Transitional risks include risks
of transitioning to a low
carbon economy including
regulatory change. These risks
could reduce the demand for
Precinct's products or increase
compliance costs.
Precinct’s Sustainability
Committee acts as the
custodian for Precinct’s
sustainability strategy and
comprises representatives from
various parts of our business.
Precinct also has a Board
ESG Committee.
Both committees meet
frequently during the year and
are responsible for assessing,
actioning and driving ESG
issues, reviewing performance
and considering Precinct’s long-
term strategy on sustainable
activities across the business
and reporting on its progress.
An update is included in the
Board papers on an ongoing
basis including Precinct's
climate risk register.
►
Precinct recognises climate risk is an
important part of the ongoing operation
of our business activities.
Precinct continues to assess our
impacts on people and planet and how
we are managing those impacts.
Precinct will present its climate-
related disclosures in accordance
with the External Reporting Board's
(XRB) Aotearoa New Zealand
Climate Standards.
Precinct’s climate related disclosures
will be published in October 2024
and will be available online at
Precinct's website.
Internal
Risks and impactsHow we manage the riskChangeMovement in the period
Development
Development risk
Development projects
are inherently subject
to uncertainties. They
are entered into on
the basis of assumed
future costs, values
and income levels.
An increased level
of development risk
has the potential
to make meeting
covenant obligations
and overall
solvency challenging.
Ensure expected returns from
developments adequately compensate
Precinct for the level of risk undertaken
before approval. Through due diligence,
Precinct understands the project risks
before commitment. Before commitment,
ensure funding is in place and committed
gearing stays within acceptable levels.
Establishing a procurement plan and
engaging contractors early to mitigate
cost escalation or contractor default.
Undertake substantial pre-leasing prior to
commencement of development.
▼
An appropriate level of development
activity is underway however the risk has
been reduced through major completions,
high levels of pre-commit leasing secured
and fixed price contract agreements
in place.
Capital requirement has also reduced
through introduction of capital partners.

Interest
rate management
Interest rate risk arises
through changes in
interest rate market
conditions leading to
earnings volatility or
breach of interest
cover covenant levels.
Manage by aligning the interest rate re-
pricing profile with the re-pricing profile of
Precinct's gross rental income.
Establish interest rate swaps to manage
exposure within a band reviewed by
the Board annually and monitored by
the Audit and Risk Committee and
Board quarterly.
▼
As inflation moderates the RBNZ is
forecasting a reduction in interest rates.
Precinct was 99% hedged through the use
of interest rate swaps at 30 June 2024
(June 2023: 72%).
Refinancing
risk (liquidity)
Having insufficient
funds to refinance
debt when it falls
due and sustain the
ongoing operations of
the business.
Implemented a Financial Risk
Management Policy in 2011 which is
reviewed annually providing a clear
framework ensuring risks are managed
and understood. Diversified funding away
from sole reliance on bank funding
through alternative sources. Staggering
the maturity profile of facilities providing
adequate time to pursue alternatives
to refinancing.
▼
During the period, Precinct refinanced
existing bank debt with new syndicated
facilities totalling $700 million. These
facilities provide sufficient liquidity to
repay Precinct’s bonds and USPP
due to mature in November and
January, respectively.
Precinct continues to maintain sufficient
funding capacity to deliver our
committed developments.
Gearing levels
An increase in
gearing levels
outside suitable
industry standards
could increase the
risk of breaching
financing covenants
and may increase
borrowing costs.
Precinct's Financial Risk Management
Policy is reviewed annually.
Ensure no capital commitment is entered
into without funding in place. Maintain
adequate headroom in relation to
gearing covenants to withstand portfolio
devaluations which may be anticipated
through the property cycle.
►
Gearing levels remain within internal
policy parameters due to Precinct's
proactive capital management strategy.
People
Staff
Staff are critical to
ongoing success and
execution of strategy.
Failure to maintain a
high level of
experience and skill
could impact
business
performance.
Ensure a strong focus on team
engagement and enhancement. Maintain
ongoing succession planning and
retention structures within the Company.
Regularly review performance appraisals
of employees and directors and
benchmark remuneration packages with
the wider market.
►
Our staff remain a key focus for the
business with a number of promotions,
training and development occurring
during the year.
Precinct's "Three Pillars" Health, Safety &
Wellbeing strategy focus on the delivery
of the wellbeing programs under Physical,
Mental and Financial pillars.

Health and safety
Unsafe work
environments may
lead to accidents
(employees, clients,
contractors and
visitors) resulting in
harm to people,
financial loss and/or
business continuity.
Provide ongoing individual, group and
industry training. Maintain a hazard
register that identifies hazards where
contractors are required to take
precaution. Registers are subject to
annual review. Monitor any live sites
to ensure oversight of Health and
Safety matters. Ensure contractor pre-

►
Appropriate monitoring and reporting
continue to be implemented and refined

Further information on Health and Safety
is included on Precinct's website.
Modern Slavery
Precinct is committed
to respecting and
supporting the
human rights of our
employees and all
those whose lives we
impact through our
supply chain. Given
the complexity of the
construction industry
supply chain, Precinct
may unknowingly be
complicit in human
rights abuses through
the purchase of

Identifying areas with potential risk
for forms of modern slavery in our

Engaging highly-reputable contractors
with New Zealand-domiciled
management teams.
►
Precinct has a Supplier Code of
Conduct which supports our commitment
to advance social and environmental
responsibility beyond our own operations
to our supply chain.
It should be read together with Precinct’s
commitments in respect of Health &
Safety, Diversity & Inclusion, Sustainability,
Modern Slavery and Mental Health and
Wellbeing, all of which can be found on

Precinct Properties Group56
On behalf of the People
and Performance Committee,
I am pleased to present
Precinct’s Remuneration
Report for the financial year
ended 30 June 2024.
Remuneration continues to
be a key focus to ensure
that we attract and
retain the best talent in
the business. We believe
Precinct's approach to
remuneration aligns with
the interests of Precinct
and its shareholders while
also supporting Precinct's
strategic objectives.
Graeme Wong, Independent Director and Chair of Precinct
People and Performance Committee
This Remuneration Report provides additional disclosures
to ensure that remuneration of both Directors
and management personnel is transparent, fair
and reasonable.
During the year, the People and Performance Committee
has ensured the appropriate policies, procedures and
practices have been in place to attract, retain and
develop a skilled, diverse and inclusive workforce for
Precinct. Following the establishment of an Employee
Share Scheme (Scheme or ESS) for its employees
last year, the ESS continues to be well received
by Precinct employees. The Scheme recognises the
important contribution employees make to Precinct's
overall success. As noted in last year's report, Precinct
engaged with PwC to assist Precinct to understand
its gender pay gap with a view to publicly reporting
Precinct's gender pay gap in this year's financial
reporting. Following the 2023 annual salary review, a
gender pay gap analysis was completed across the
business and showed:
•A median pay gap for fixed annual remuneration
(FAR) of 21% across the business (excluding the two
most senior roles in the business (CEO and Deputy
CEO) which are both currently held by men).
The analysis showed that two of the drivers of the current
pay gap were similar to other organisations in the New
Zealand market, namely:
•A higher incidence of men of senior executive
level; and
•Similarly, a higher proportion of men holding specialist
and/or industry specific roles, which attract a
market premium.
Assessing the gender representation across the
organisation and by reporting line, Precinct meets the
gender diversity target of 40:40:20 at the majority of the
levels of the business i.e. a minimum of 40% female and
40% male, with the balance being any gender. Planning
for the next financial year includes the establishment
of gender pay gap reduction objectives and related
initiatives, against which Precinct will track our progress
and performance to ensure Precinct is paying people
equitably. As I will be retiring from the Board in November
2024, this will be my last annual report addressing
shareholders as Chair of the People and Performance
Committee. I would like to take the opportunity to thank
the management team and Precinct Board for entrusting
me with this role. I am confident Precinct's remuneration
will continue to align with the interests of Precinct and
you, our shareholders.

Remuneration Report
Our remuneration framework
is designed to support the
performance of Precinct’s
business and its strategy.
Our approach to remuneration governance
Precinct’s remuneration governance framework is
overseen by Precinct’s People and Performance
Committee which comprises a majority of independent
directors at 30 June 2024. The People and Performance
Committee’s role is to assist the Board in establishing
remuneration policies and practices.
The People and Performance Committee is guided
by Precinct’s Remuneration Policy. This Remuneration
Policy aims to ensure that people are rewarded for
performance that contributes to the achievement of
Precinct’s business goals. In addition, the People and
Performance Committee follows a charter which is
intended to guide Committee members in fulfilling their
responsibilities to the Board.
On a regular basis, the People and Performance
Committee will review performance objectives and
remuneration packages of both Directors and key
management personnel of Precinct. This includes
monitoring performance that outlines the relative
weightings of remuneration components and relevant
performance criteria. They also consider remuneration
benchmarking and succession planning.
Further information relating to the People and
Performance Committee including meeting details is
set out in Corporate Governance, Principle 3 -
Board Committees.
External advisors
Remuneration benchmarking of Directors and key
management personnel (such as CEO, Deputy CEO and
CFO) is undertaken regularly by external advisors. The
determination of Precinct’s performance hurdles and
vesting of LTI rights is calculated by a recognised
independent party that the Board reasonably considers
has the expertise, experience and access to the necessary
data to carry out the calculation.

Precinct Properties Group58
Short term incentive (STI)
Precinct operates a short term incentive (STI) bonus scheme for eligible employees. The objective of the scheme is to
compensate employees for achieving short term business strategy, high levels of performance and financial success over
the financial year. In addition employees have individual performance goals which are considered when determining
variable short term incentives. Annually, the Board sets the annual STI performance goals for the CEO, Deputy CEO and
CFO for that financial year.
FeatureDescription
PurposeTo compensate individuals for achieving annual targets which are aligned to the delivery of
Precinct’s strategy.
Business
objectives and
performance
measures
Individual STI awards are dependent on achieving various business objectives including overall staff
management. Individuals will have Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) which are set annually and aligned
to the delivery of Precinct's strategy and key priorities for the financial year.
Performance measures include:
•Precinct earnings target (AFFO)
•Precinct portfolio metrics i.e. occupancy, WALT
•Successful completion of treasury and capital management initiatives
•Delivery of major leasing and development projects
•Advancing key strategic objectives, including ESG objectives
Performance
assessment
The Board takes a robust approach to determining executive remuneration outcomes. The performance
STI scheme is intended to reflect the performance of the business, and reward for achieving targets.
Assessment of performance for a STI takes place in the form of an assessment of achievement against
the objectives and targets.
CEO, Deputy CEO and CFO STI awards are endorsed by the People and Performance Committee and
approved by the Board at its absolute discretion.
STI awardedThis discretionary annual payment is 100% awarded in cash and rewards the CEO, Deputy CEO, CFO
and other individuals for achieving short term annual company and individual performance targets,
encouraging accountability for results.
Payment of a STI/performance bonus is not guaranteed and will remain subject to Board approval at
its discretion.

Long term incentive (LTI)
Precinct operates a long-term incentive scheme (‘scheme’) for key management personnel and senior executives. The
scheme is designed to align the reward for senior management personnel and senior executives with the enhancement of
shareholder value over a multi-year period.
Precinct has a number of schemes in place and the sections below summarises the key details of each scheme.
Restricted Share Rights (RSR)
Precinct's Restricted Share Right scheme entitles a Participant to receive a Share in the future depending on whether Service
Conditions are achieved. The participant is entitled to receive one share upon the valid exercise of each vested share right
they hold.
Purpose
To secure the CEO, Deputy CEO, CFO and other key management personnel on a long term basis,
noting that share rights don't vest for three or four years (as applicable).
Vesting tranches30 June 2024, 30 June 2025 and 31 March 2027
Conditions
Restricted Share Rights (RSRs) will vest provided the participant remains employed by Precinct for
the duration of the relevant vesting period. The current RSR plan is made up of 3 tranches with
different vesting periods.
There are no performance hurdles and provided each vesting period is satisfied, the RSRs will vest.
Precinct Properties Group60
Performance Share Rights (PSR)
Precinct's Performance Share Right scheme entitles a Participant to receive a Share in the future depending on the degree
to which certain Vesting Conditions are achieved or exceeded during the Assessment Period. The participant is entitled to
receive one share upon the valid exercise of each vested share right they hold.
FeatureDescription
PurposeAlignment of interests between the CEO, Deputy CEO, CFO and other key management personnel, and the
long term returns to Precinct shareholders, which drives long term performance to deliver Precinct's strategy
while also providing an incentive for Key Management Personnel to remain in employment with Precinct
prior to vesting.
Performance
period
A grant vests at the end of the performance period which is over a three year period. Due to the completion
of the internalisation of Precinct's management taking place on 31 March 2021, the initial performance
period is between
1 April 2021 and 30 June 2024. All rights issued after the original tranche vest over a period
of 36 months. A share right vests on the vesting date subject to the participant's continuing employment
with Precinct and performance hurdles being met.
The vesting of the Performance share rights are endorsed by the People and Performance Committee
and approved by the Board subject to the Board determining that the performance hurdles set out have
been met.

The Absolute TSR Rights will vest in full if Precinct’s TSR exceeds the
cost of equity for the subject performance rights as calculated by
independent advisors, PwC. The cost of equity will be recalculated on
an annual basis.

Employee share scheme
In August 2022 Precinct established an Employee Share Scheme (Scheme or ESS) for employees of Precinct Properties New
Zealand Limited (Precinct). The ESS enables employees to acquire shares in Precinct (under the current NZ tax legislation).
The Scheme recognises the important contribution that the Company's employees make to it future. The People and
Performance Committee and the Board of Precinct considers the ESS aligns the interests of the employees with those of the
Company and its shareholders and aims to assist the Company in retaining and motivating employees.

Precinct does not utilise a director fee pool and instead sets fees based on the role of each director, which was approved
by shareholders in 2018. Following a director remuneration review by PwC, at the 2023 Annual Shareholder Meeting, the
shareholders approved an increase in the Independent Director fees (other than the Chair's fee) to reflect increased
regulatory risk and obligations increasing demand on Directors’ time and broadening their scope of responsibilities. The
increase in fees also reflected the growing complexity of Precinct's business and strategic approach. When assessed across
total director fees, the average increase approved by shareholders was approximately 10%.

On behalf of the ESG
Committee, we present
Precinct’s Sustainability
Report for the financial
year ended 30 June
2024. It has been
prepared in accordance
with the GRI Standards for
sustainability reporting.
As a business, we continue
to identify and reduce
our material impacts
across ESG aspects of
Precinct’s operations.
Nicola Greer, Independent Director and Chair of Precinct
ESG Committee
The following section provides an overview of
sustainability at Precinct, including our impacts on people
and planet and how we are managing these while
focused on future performance. With the future in mind,
during the year, we have been building on Precinct’s
interim climate-related disclosures published in 2023 to
meet the Aotearoa New Zealand Climate Standards (NZ
CS1, 2 and 3 requirements).
We look forward to sharing Precinct’s 2024 climate-
related disclosures later in the year. These will be
available at
Precinct’s website in October 2024 as
well as alongside our peers on the public registry
located here: https://www.companiesoffice.govt.nz/all-
registers/climate-related-disclosures/.
In FY24, a number of sustainability initiatives have been
undertaken, these include:
•Achieving an increased Global Real Estate
Sustainability Benchmark (GRESB) survey score in
2023 of 86/100 (global average: 75);
•Being one of the first real estate companies
in New Zealand to commit to company-wide
emission reductions in line with the Science Based
Targets initiative;
•Continuing to certify the energy performance of
our buildings through NABERSNZ and using this
benchmark to progress Precinct’s capital expenditure
plan to support our Net Zero 2030 commitments;
•Enrolling and certifying all eligible assets within our
Portfolio to Green Star Performance;
•Verifying and disclosing our carbon emissions across
our investment portfolio and business activities
through Toitū net carbonzero certification with
validation across FY23 covering Scope 1 & 2 as well
as broadening our Scope 3 emissions;
•Being the first New Zealand based real estate
company to enrol our Portfolio in the WELL at Scale
program and achieving the first WELL Equity rating in
Oceania for a real estate company corporate office;
•Continuing to partner with our electricity supplier,
Meridian Energy, to supply RE100 compliant
Renewable Energy Certificates for 100% of electricity
purchased across the portfolio;
•Progressing workstreams related to our Climate
Related Disclosure risks and opportunities; and
•Submitting voluntary first year reporting as signatory
to the World Green Building Council (WGBC) Net Zero
Carbon Buildings Commitment.
As Precinct executes on our sustainability strategy,
we remain focused on working in partnership with
our people and partners to progress our shared ESG
commitments including positive social procurement and
environmental outcomes.

Precinct's material topics
Precinct's material topics
1
Our impact
We recognise and acknowledge the impact
our operations have on the environment. This
understanding guides and influences our future
activities to minimise our environmental footprint.
Our future focus
We acknowledge our role in shaping the
communities we operate in. Through our activities
and long-term commitments, we work towards
achieving sustainable outcomes and making a
positive impact.
Our values
Our core values drive our commitment to
sustainability and business success. We prioritise
connecting people and creating positive experiences,
ensuring that our actions align with these values to
foster a sustainable and thriving environment.
1. Precinct’s material topics remain unchanged since 2022. Following a desktop review of Precinct’s
significant impacts on people and planet, the material topics presented above were revalidated
internally this year and meet the requirements of the GRI Standards. The analysis considered a wide
array of information sources, including the opinion of our key stakeholders. We continue to monitor
those topics under Precinct’s reporting threshold, in particular biodiversity loss in relation to depletion
of natural resources.
How we determine our material topics
1.Review our sustainability context
Recognise our value chain and consider: the full range of activities associated with our business model; the various
relationships we have with businesses, government agencies, NGOs, communities, cultural groups and workers; the
economic, environmental and societal challenges related to our sector and locations of operation; and, the domestic
and international standards and the intergovernmental instruments linked to our sector.
2.Identify actual and potential impacts on the economy, environment and people
Actual and potential impacts are identified in several ways: through intermittent informal discussions, group meetings
and surveys with relevant stakeholder groups; through our own internal assessments of our activities; with guidance from
sector-based impact reports, standards and articles; and, through engagement with subject matter experts.
3.Assess the significance of impacts
Using information obtained in step 2, the relative significance is determined by evaluating the gravity of the impact (the
scale), how widespread it is (the scope), and how hard it is counteract the harm (irremediable character). This process is
typically facilitated by an independent sustainability consultant.
4.Prioritise the most significant impacts for reporting
Based on mostly qualitative analysis, numeric values are used to rank the relative significance of impacts, which are
grouped into topics. A reporting threshold is set by considering the needs of information users and other stakeholders.

GHG Emissions
Precinct's GHG emissions have been measured since 2017
using an 'operational control' approach to consolidating
emissions. The source of the emissions factors used in our
measurements at the time of this report (FY23) include:
•The Ministry for the Environment's Detailed Guide to
Measuring Emissions
•ISO 14064-1:2006 Specification with Guidance at the
Organisation Level for Quantification and Reporting of
Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Removals
•Greenhouse Gas Protocol: A Corporate Accounting and
Reporting Standard (2004)
Sources of emissions excluded from our GHG emissions
profile include:
•Scope items less than 1% of total footprint have been
excluded in line with reporting protocols
•Scope items which are not under Precinct's direct
operational control during the reporting period i.e. GHG
emissions from development projects
Precinct is a reporting entity in line with the Aotearoa New
Zealand Climate Standards and this requires full value
chain reporting across Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions for FY24
data (with exemptions). Precinct will publish this data within
our Climate Statement in October 2024.
Total operating carbon emissions
1
Scope 1
Scope 2
Scope 3
1Total carbon emissions for FY23 totalled 6,711 tCO2e (FY22
totalled 4,197 tCO2). Emissions data has been verified by Toitū
Envirocare to ISO 14064-1:2018 requirements and has been
verified through audit in accordance with ISO 14064-3:2019. The
figures presented reflects data up to FY23 due to the timing of
the annual Toitu audit process and excludes development assets.
In preparation of full value chain Scope 3 emissions required from
FY24, Precinct included select additional categories within the
FY23 inventory. Whilst emissions have risen since FY22, these are
attributed to a rise in indirect emissions from Scope 3 and an
increase in transparency of a broader inventory of this category.

Toitū net carbonzero certification
Since 2020, Precinct has achieved Toitū net carbonzero
certification. Precinct meets the requirements of Toitū
net carbonzero® certification having measured its
greenhouse gas emissions in accordance with ISO
14064-1:2018. Toitū net carbonzero certification is
accredited by the Joint Accreditation System of Australia
and New Zealand (JAS-ANZ). This provides assurance
that our certification meets international best practice.
Precinct continues to offset its unavoidable emissions
from our operations by buying high-impact carbon credits
from Gold Standard certified international projects.

or 4-Star NABERSNZ Rating.
Embodied carbon
Precinct continues to assess and report on embodied
carbon from the development of a new building and
the operational carbon emitted from building usage.
Adaptive reuse projects remain a key strategy and this
approach continues to deliver impressive results from an
embodied carbon and cost saving perspective. During the
reporting period, 1 Queen Street achieved an impressive
67% reduction against 'business as usual' for embodied
carbon resulting in 264 kgCO2eq/m2.
In line with Green Star Design and As Built criteria,
Precinct targets 5-Star Green Star Design and As
Built rating for all new projects. As embodied carbon
performance is a key aspect to this rating system, our
holistic commitment to Green Star as a metric reflects our
commitment to reducing the embodied carbon footprint
of our development pipeline.
As part of this process, a life cycle assessment (LCA)
is undertaken as early in the project as possible to
determine areas of influence that will support the
project team to reduce embodied carbon emissions for
each new development project. Then on completion,
Precinct voluntarily purchases Toitu endorsed units to
offset the impact in line with our Net Zero 2030
commitment. An LCA is conducted by third party
consultants, demonstrating independence in relation to
this practice and best practice ahead of an industry
endorsed benchmark. We utilise an internal carbon price
to drive innovation by our project teams to ensure we're
keeping discussions related to carbon front and centre at
the right stage of project delivery.

Operational excellence at PwC Tower
In addition to obtaining a 5 Star ‘NZ Excellence’ Green Star Design & As-Built rating post completion in 2021, PwC
Tower has also demonstrated exceptional performance by achieving a 5 Star NABERSNZ Energy Efficiency rating in
operation in 2023.
The transition from design excellence to operational success is a significant achievement.
Maintaining performance during operation requires effective management and continuous improvement. Precinct’s
property and facilities management team has demonstrated exceptional commitment through:
•Ongoing building tuning: The ongoing building tuning at the Commercial Bay Precinct involves working closely
with contractors and consultants to optimise the building systems. This process ensures that systems operate at
their highest efficiency levels and utilise the various operating profiles offered to fine-tune the performance of
the building.
•Continuous monitoring and improvement: The use of advanced metering and monitoring systems enables the
management team to identify and address inefficiencies promptly.
•Sustainability initiatives: Ongoing efforts to engage occupants and promote sustainable practices have
contributed to the building's operational performance, particularly through the success of the Commercial
Bay Club.
In addition, PWC Tower incorporates several advanced building systems that contribute to its high performance
and sustainability including highly efficient HVAC systems, energy and water management including water metering
and electrical sub-metering, predicted GHG emissions and high efficiency LED lighting with controls. Precinct also
voluntarily procures RE100 compliant renewable energy certificates (RECs).

Partnerships and community wellbeing and vitality
Creating communities
Community is at the heart of Precinct. The quality of
Precinct’s interactions, relationships and spaces continue
to drive the positive social value and contribution Precinct
is making. Creating community takes the form of wellness
spaces, client communication apps, partnerships, art
shows, lobby events, fitness clubs, retailer activations and
more. We want to create environments in which people
and businesses can thrive.
Precinct's client quarterly ESG data sharing
During the year, Precinct has continued to engage
and collaborate with our people and partners. This
includes launching Precinct's client quarterly ESG data
sharing initiative. As part of this initiative, Precinct has
proactively shared transparent and informative ESG
data to inform our Clients on the performance of
the building they occupy. This data includes energy
(electricity and gas) and water consumption, as well
as waste generation rates for the building they
occupy. To guide discussions on interpreting this data,
Precinct led organised workshops with our clients to
facilitate estimating their first NABERSNZ Tenancy ratings
to benchmark energy performance. This programme
reinforces Precinct's commitment to supporting our clients
on their sustainability efforts.
Inclusive Stakeholder Engagement
Precinct continues to engage regularly with all of
our key stakeholders which includes our people and
partners, clients and people using our spaces, contractors
and service providers, community based organisations,
shareholders, industry bodies and Government. Our
engagement process includes regular meetings, surveys
and consultations and updates to ensure stakeholders are
well informed.
Precinct recognises the unique role of Māori as Tangata
Whenua and embraces Te Tiriti o Waitangi recognising
Māori as tino rangitiratanga of Aotearoa/New Zealand.
This reflects the three guiding principles of the Treaty
– partnership, participation and protection. We will
endeavour to implement policies and practices that
incorporate and value Māori cultural concepts, values
and practices.
Social Investment
During the last 12 months, we have continued our social
investments with donations to Mates in Construction,
Keystone Trust and the Tania Dalton Foundation.
6,000+
Club memberships.
The Commercial Bay Club continues to
have increased engagement in professional
networks. This includes Sustainability
Meetup which fosters client collaboration
on sustainability initiatives and Rainbow
Connect (members and allies of rainbow
communities - pictured to the right).
The Club also prioritises social procurement
and community engagement through
partnering with a number of charities.

Depletion of natural resources and contribution to waste.
Precinct contributes to the depletion of natural
resources and the accumulation of waste through its
procurement and contracting practices, as well as in
the management of waste infrastructure and systems.
As a business that develops new buildings, undertakes
significant refurbishments, and completes fit-outs within
its portfolio, Precinct actively seeks opportunities to
minimise waste production. This is achieved through
design efficiency, maximising recycling and reuse of
demolition, construction, and operational waste, and
promoting on-site reuse of existing structures and non-
landfill organic waste. Additionally, Precinct encourages
occupier participation in both fit-outs and ongoing
operations to further support waste reduction efforts.
Globally and in New Zealand, the construction sector
remains a significant contributor to discarded waste to
landfill and we acknowledge the contribution we are
making to this through the development and operation
of our own buildings. In exploring our full value chain
of Scope 3 reporting, Precinct are including Construction
& Demolition waste in our carbon inventory from FY24.
This will allow our team to understand the full impact
our construction activities have on the environment and
benchmark to improve for future years.
We plan to report our Operational Waste Management
plans and waste data through the New Zealand
Green Building Council (NZGBC) Green Star Performance
framework to ensure best practice standards are
implemented during the operational phase of our assets.
In addition, we commenced quarterly data sharing with
our Clients during FY24 to encourage open discussions
related to ESG metrics including operational waste. This
decision has led to an increase in awareness with our
Clients on their contribution to waste and how we can
work together to improve performance in the long term.
Operational Waste Innovation at
Commercial Bay
Following staged developments over the past 5
years, the Commercial Bay Precinct was finalised
with One Queen Street achieving practical
completion at the end of 2023.
A key sustainability element introduced during
this final stage was establishing a best
practice operational waste management plan
to coordinate the thriving Commercial Bay
retail centre, world class restaurants, new
Intercontinental Hotel and premium office spaces
from the one collection point.
The result of this masterplan is a space that
supports Precinct in separating a minimum of 8
waste streams including food waste, co-mingled,
paper/cardboard, glass, polystyrene, soft plastics,
electronic waste, and general waste.

Clients, workers and staff wellbeing.
Precinct contributes to the wellbeing of its clients,
clients’ workers and its own staff through the design
of its buildings and management of its relationships
with clients. Precinct also directly impacts the
wellbeing of workers via procurement and contracting
practices. Conducted every two years, our most recent
independently run client satisfaction survey (undertaken
in March 2023) results showed that overall satisfaction of
working in a Precinct-owned and managed building is 91%
(2021: 87%, target of ≥80%).
We are proud to be the first real estate company in
Aotearoa New Zealand to enrol almost 400,000 square
metres NLA in the WELL at Scale program. This program
will support us in benchmarking and improving health
and wellbeing outcomes across the majority of our assets
to the benefit of our people, clients and community. In
our first cycle of assessment we achieved the first WELL
Equity rated corporate office for a real estate company in
Oceania. This result means we are in line with the global
standard for Equity in real estate, and that Precinct's
policies and initiatives are leading the way for diversity
and inclusion in the workplace. Achieving a diverse and
highly inclusive workforce is a key part of the overall
wellbeing for our people. Our approach to managing
diversity is guided by our Diversity and Inclusion Policy
available at www.precinct.co.nz.
Health and safety
Health and safety is a key topic component
and one of Precinct’s core corporate values. We
are committed to complying with all relevant
legislation, regulations and standards and work
hard to exceed them. Our business actively
embeds a positive health and safety culture.
Precinct works collaboratively with our staff,
contractors and stakeholders to implement
market leading health and safety measures
across all Precinct sites and offices.
In addition to regular external audits and
monitoring by health and safety specialists
Construct Health Limited, Precinct also regularly
engages third-party reviews of its health and
safety processes.
Precinct's Health and Safety Policy and more
on key FY24 initiatives and performance can be
found on the next page and on Precinct's website
Precinct worker engagement
Precinct’s Health & Safety Committee
comprises the Executive team, the
Senior Health & Safety Adviser, General
Counsel, Development Managers, Facilities
Managers and includes representation
from Generator and Intercontinental Hotel.
The Committee meets once a month.
We have expanded the participation
and engagement of workers with the
establishment of quarterly informal H&S
catch-ups with all Precinct and Generator
staff. These sessions have been very well
received and have seen high levels of
engagement with staff. Feedback received
from staff in these sessions has resulted
in our "Three Pillars" Health, Safety
& Wellbeing strategy being continued
for FY25.

Health and Safety
Benchmarking our performance
For the year ended 30 June 2024, Precinct recorded 5.15
for its health and safety TRIFR performance, compared to
8.25 in 2023. This is an improvement of 37.5%. In addition
to improved site safety management, three development
projects have been completed in FY24.
The TRIFR rate includes all recordable injuries/illnesses in
the categories of: Medical Treatment Injury; Restricted
Work Injury or Illness; and Lost Time Injury. Precinct
has previously chosen to report its TRIFR against the
Business Leaders' Health and Safety Forum Benchmarking
initiative. However, this Forum has discontinued the TRIFR
benchmarking as overseas evidence indicates that TRIFR
is not a complete reflection of the state of safety within
projects. Precinct will continue to focus on improving
contractor engagement and reduce injury severity. We
continue to engage with relevant industry bodies to
develop meaningful benchmarking for safety.
A total of 81 independent inspections were undertaken
across all development and stabilised portfolio sites by
Construct Health. All development sites have a target
rate of 95%. One Queen Street scored an average of
94.5% (FY23:97%); Bowen House 97% (FY23:97%), Wynyard
Quarter 95% (FY23:96%) and 61 Molesworth Street 98%
(FY23:98%). Any corrective actions identified in the audits
were promptly rectified.
WorkSafe Notifications
Five incidents met the threshold of WorkSafe notifiable
incidents. Each of these incidents was investigated
in detail and corrective actions were developed and
completed. In respect of all these incidents, WorkSafe did
not consider it necessary to investigate further.
Incident monitoring and reporting
We recorded 294 health and safety incidents in the
year compared to 433 reported in FY23. This is an
approximately 32% decrease from the previous year.
Much of this decrease can be attributed to the
completion of three major development projects (1
Queen Street, 40 and 44 Bowen Street). Events reported
include observations, near misses, first aid injuries,
medical treatment injuries and lost time injuries. Recorded
incidents also include security and property damage
incidents. There were 18 (FY23:50) Lost time Injuries (5.6%),
26 (FY23:31) Medical Treatment injuries (10.9%) and 50
(FY:82) First Aid incidents (17%). A total of 40 (FY23:96)
(13%) incidents occurred in our stabilised property
portfolio (office portfolio) in Auckland and Wellington. Our
development sites, which are managed by the Precinct-
appointed main contractor recorded 124 (FY23:176)
incidents (42%). Two new residential development projects
have commenced, Domain and FABRIC 2. Precinct is
working with contractors and the third party consultant
to align residential development to Precinct’s high H&S
expectations on our commercial developments.
Commercial Bay Retail and Willis Lane accounted for
114 (39%) incidents. The majority of these incidents
were security incidents 37 (32%), property damage 30
(26%) and observations 23 (20%). Commercial Bay had
11 Medical Treatment incidents (9.6%). The others
are made up of minor incidents like near miss and
first aid. Compared to last year, Commercial Bay
Retail incidents have decreased by 25% .This can be
attributed to some extent to the return of tourists
and office workers to central Auckland, together with
improved security measures. Precinct continues to work
with our retail stakeholders to mitigate new risks and
collaborates closely with authorities, our security provider
and neighbouring precincts (Britomart and Viaduct
Harbour) to provide a safe and enjoyable experience in
Commercial Bay.
Generator, Precinct and Commercial Bay Hospitality
venue staff recorded 16 (FY23:27) incidents during the
year, an approximately 40% reduction.

Notes to the Financial Statements
For the year ended 30 June 2024
1. GENERAL INFORMATION
1.1 Reporting entity
The financial statements presented are those of Precinct Properties New Zealand Limited and its wholly-owned subsidiaries
(PPNZ) and Precinct Properties Investments Limited and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (PPIL), each of PPNZ and PPIL being a
"Stapled Entity", and together the Precinct Properties Group (Precinct or the Group).
For accounting purposes, stapling gives rise to the combination of the Stapled Entities into a consolidated group. For
the purposes of financial reporting, one of the combining entities is required to be identified as the parent entity of the
consolidated group. In the case of Precinct, PPNZ has been identified as the parent for the purposes of preparing the
financial statements and consequently PPIL's equity is presented as the non-controlling interest in the financial statements.
PPNZ and PPIL are both incorporated in New Zealand and registered under the New Zealand Companies Act 1993 and are
both FMC reporting entities for the purposes of the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013.
PPIL was incorporated on 14 December 2022 as a wholly-owned subsidiary of PPNZ. On 1 July 2023, PPIL acquired Precinct's
real estate investment management business. PPIL also acquired other non real estate investment entities from PPNZ to
separate Precinct's management services and operational business from its property ownership business.
PPNZ 's principal activity is investment in predominantly prime CBD properties in New Zealand. The principal activity of PPIL
is the management of real estate investment entities in New Zealand.
Shares of PPNZ and PPIL are stapled and therefore cannot be traded separately and can only be traded as stapled
securities. They are quoted on the Main Board equity securities market of NZX under the ticker code PCT.
1.2
Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with NZ GAAP. For the purposes of complying with NZ
GAAP the Group is a for-profit entity. The financial statements comply with New Zealand equivalents to International
Financial Reporting Standards (’NZ IFRS’). The financial statements also comply with International Financial Reporting
Standards (‘IFRS’).
The financial statements were prepared in accordance with the Financial Markets Conduct (Precinct Properties Group)
Exemption Notice 2024 and waivers granted to Precinct from certain NZX Listing Rules on 18 April 2023 which each permit
PPNZ and PPIL, subject to the conditions of the exemption notice and waivers (respectively), to prepare financial statements
in respect of Precinct in place of separate financial statements of each Stapled Entity. Precinct notes that the Financial
Markets Conduct (Precinct Properties Group) Exemption Notice 2024 came into force on 16 February 2024 and applies to
Precinct's accounting period ended 30 June 2024 and subsequent accounting periods, up to and including 30 June 2028.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, all inter-company balances and transactions, income and expenses and
profit or losses resulting from intra-group transactions have been eliminated in full.
The financial statements have been prepared:
•On a historical basis except for financial instruments, investment and development properties which are measured at
fair value.
•Using the New Zealand Dollar functional and reporting currency.
•On a GST exclusive basis, except for receivables and payables that are stated inclusive of GST.
All financial information has been presented in millions, unless otherwise stated.

Notes to the Financial Statements
For the year ended 30 June 2024
Re-presentations – simplification of Financial Statements
To improve disclosure effectiveness and focus on the most relevant and material information, Precinct has made a number
of simplifications to the Financial Statements in the current year, and expanded disclosure for areas of interest.
The Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive income has been re-presented with the following changes:
•Management fee income has been included within gross operating revenue.
•Addition of a new subtotal being operating profit before net finance expense, other income/(expenses) and income tax.
•Corporate overhead expenses have been disclosed separately from employment and administration expenses.
•Current tax benefit/(expense), depreciation recovered on sale and deferred tax benefit/(expense) have been grouped
together as income tax benefit/(expense) with an additional note added to show full breakdown.
•All figures changed to consistently reflect income as a positive number and expenses as negative.
The Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity has been re-presented in a simplified form with all distributions to equity
holders consolidated into a single line for each reporting period with an additional note added to show details of each
individual distribution.
The Consolidated Statement of Financial Position has been re-presented to show net assets as a separate subtotal.
The simplification has also resulted in a number of aggregations and amendments where line items are not material,
and affected comparatives have been re-presented for consistency. These re-presentations have not had an impact on
the profit after tax or total comprehensive income in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income, net assets
in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, or the net increase/(decrease) in cash presented in the Consolidated
Statement of Cash Flows.
1.3
New standards, amendments and interpretations
In December 2022, the External Reporting Board (XRB) issued the following standards:
•Aotearoa New Zealand Climate Standard 1 Climate-related Disclosures (NZ CS 1);
•Aotearoa New Zealand Climate Standard 2 Adoption of Aotearoa New Zealand Climate Standards (NZ CS 2); and
•Aotearoa New Zealand Climate Standard 3 General Requirements for Climate-related Disclosures (NZ CS 3).
NZ CS 1 contains the climate-related disclosure requirements for each of the four thematic areas (Governance, Strategy, Risk
Management and Metrics and Targets) and the assurance requirements for greenhouse gas emissions disclosures. NZ CS 2
provides optional adoption provisions. NZ CS 3 contains the principles, the underlying concepts such as materiality, and the
general requirements.
PPNZ and PPIL are climate reporting entities and are each required under Part 7A of the FMCA to prepare climate-related
disclosures. The entities have been granted an exemption from certain provisions of Part 7A of the FMCA by the Financial
Markets Authority to permit PPNZ and PPIL, as stapled entities, to prepare a single document comprising consolidated
climate-related disclosures in respect of Precinct. Precinct is releasing its first climate-related disclosures as required by Part
7A of the FMCA and in compliance with the standards described above in October 2024.
In May 2024, the XRB introduced NZ IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements (NZ IFRS 18) (effective for
annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2027). This standard replaces NZ IAS 1 Presentation of Financial
Statements (NZ IAS 1) and primarily introduces a defined structure for the statement of comprehensive income, disclosure of
management-defined performance measures (a subset of non-GAAP measures) in a single note together with reconciliation
requirements. Precinct has not early adopted this standard and is yet to assess its impacts.
Amendments to IAS 12: Income Tax narrow the scope of the initial recognition exception for deferred tax related to assets
and liabilities arising from a single transaction, so that it no longer applies to transactions that give rise to equal taxable and
deductible temporary differences such as leases and decommissioning liabilities. The amendments had no impact on the
values in the Group's consolidated financial statements but the deferred tax on right-of-use assets and lease liabilities has
been separately disclosed in Note 7.2.
Precinct Properties Group
92
Precinct has early adopted the amendment to NZ IFRS 44 Disclosure of fees for audit firms' services. See Note 8.2.
1.4 Changes to accounting policies and disclosure of significant accounting policies
No changes to accounting policies have been made during the year and the policies have been consistently applied to all
years presented.
To improve disclosure effectiveness and focus on the most relevant and material information, Precinct has made a number
of simplifications to the Financial Statements in the current period, and expanded disclosure for areas of interest. See Note
1.2 for more detail.
Material accounting policies have been included throughout the notes to the financial statements within the specific note to
which it applies.
1.5
Fair value estimation
Precinct classifies its fair value measurement using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in
making the measurements. The fair value hierarchy has the following levels:
•Level 1 – Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active market for identical assets or liabilities.
•Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either
directly (by price) or indirectly (derived from prices).
•Level 3 – Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
1.6
Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions
In preparing Precinct's financial statements, the boards and management continually make judgements, estimates and
assumptions based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that may have an impact
on Precinct.
All judgements, estimates and assumptions made are believed to be reasonable based on the most current set of
circumstances available to the boards and management. Actual results may differ from the judgements, estimates and
assumptions made by the boards and management.
Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised
in the period in which the estimate is revised and in any future periods affected.
The significant judgements, estimates and assumptions made in the preparation of these financial statements are in
relation to:
i.Stapling – refer note 1.8
ii.Investment and development properties – refer note 3.1
iii.Investment in associates and joint ventures – refer note 4.1
iv.Lease liabilities – refer note 3.3

Notes to the Financial Statements
For the year ended 30 June 2024
1.7 Non-GAAP measures
Precinct has chosen to present the following non-GAAP measures to assist investors in understanding the different aspects
of Precinct's financial performance.
The Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income includes the non-GAAP measure of operating profit before net
finance expense, other income/(expenses) and income tax.
Note 2.1 shows an adjusted operating profit before net finance expense, other income/(expenses) and income tax. This
measure adds back the rent expenses eliminated through the application of NZ IFRS 16 Leases. This measure is shown as all
internal reporting for operating segments is provided to the boards of PPNZ and PPIL at a pre IFRS 16 level.
Note 5.2 sets out Precinct's calculation of Adjusted Funds From Operations (AFFO) which is an industry best practice
measure for a REIT to show the organisation's underlying and recurring earnings from its operations.
1.8
Significant events and transactions during the year
Precinct's financial position and performance was affected by the following events and transactions that occurred during
the reporting year:
i.Stapling

Board on 3 July 2023. The ticker code for the stapled shares remains PCT.
PPNZ incorporated PPIL as a wholly-owned subsidiary on 14 December 2022 with the purpose of being the holding
company of the PPNZ Non Portfolio Investment Entities (non-PIE). Immediately prior to year end, PPNZ transferred its
shareholding in all the non-PIE entities to PPIL at market value in exchange for shares in PPIL. These shares in PPIL were
then distributed to PPNZ shareholders on 1 July 2023 on a one for one basis, such that all shareholders now hold an equal
number of shares in PPNZ and PPIL.

2. OPERATING SEGMENTS
2.1 Segment information
a) Basis for segmentation
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating
decision-maker. The chief operating decision-maker has been identified as the respective board of each of PPNZ and PPIL as
each makes all key strategic resource allocation decisions.
Precinct has the following reportable segments that are managed separately because of different operating strategies. The
following describes the operation of each of the reportable segments.
Reportable segmentOperations
Investment propertiesInvestment in predominately prime CBD properties
Flexible spaceOperation of co-working and shared office and event space
Hotel and hospitalityOperating of hotel and hospitality venues
Investment managementManagement of real estate investments
b) Information about reportable segments
Information related to each reportable segment is set out below. Segment profit/(loss) before tax is used to measure
performance because management believes that this information is the most relevant in evaluating the results of the
respective segments relative to other entities that operate in the same industries.
There are varying levels of integration between the investment properties, flexible space, hotel and hospitality and
investment management segments. This integration includes occupied space, future leasing and events. Inter-segment
pricing is determined on an arm's length basis.
The following is an analysis of Precinct's results, by reportable segments.

Accounting policies
Recognition of revenue from investment properties
Rental income from investment property leased to clients under operating leases is recognised in the Consolidated
Statement of Comprehensive Income on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease to the extent that future
rental increases are known with certainty. Fixed rental adjustments are accounted for to achieve straight-line
revenue recognition.
Precinct capitalises lease incentives provided to clients to the respective investment or development property in the
Consolidated Statement of Financial Position and amortises them on a straight-line basis over the term certain life of
the lease.
The share of property operating expenses which are recoverable from clients is recognised as gross property income
from expense recoveries. This is associated with the provision of services relating to the operations of Precinct’s
buildings (eg, cleaning, repairs and maintenance, utilities). Precinct have assessed the performance obligations
associated with these as being satisfied each month as the services are undertaken within each building. Revenue
from clients for the recovery of operating expenses is billed monthly and recognised in the Financial Statements in
the same manner reflecting that recovery revenue from clients is received at the same time that the performance
obligation is satisfied.
Precinct Properties Group
98
Recognition of revenue from operating segments
Operating revenue from Generator is recognised when it transfers services to a member. It is measured based on
the consideration specified in a contract with the member.
Operating revenue from Commercial Bay Hospitality venues is recognised at the point of sale, measured at the fair
value of the consideration received.
Operating revenue from the InterContinental hotel includes revenues from the rental of rooms, food and
beverage sales and other service revenue. Revenue is recognised when rooms are occupied and services have
been performed.
Recognition of management fee income
Management fee income is fees generated through the provision of investment and development management
services to other entities. This income is recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income in the
period in which the services are rendered.

For the year ended 30 June 2024
Accounting policies
Investment properties
Initially, investment properties are measured at cost including transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition
investment properties are stated at fair value. Gains or losses arising from changes in the fair values of investment
properties are included in profit or loss in the year in which they arise.
Investment property held for sale
In accordance with NZ IFRS 5 Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations, if the Group decides to
dispose of an asset or group of assets, it should be classified as held for sale if:
•the asset or group of assets is available for immediate sale in its present condition subject only to terms that are
usual and customary for sales of such assets;
•it is highly likely to be sold within one year.
Consequently, this asset or group of assets is shown separately as "assets held for sale" on the Consolidated
Statement of Financial Position. Investment properties held for sale continue to be measured at fair value with
assessment made as to whether the agreed selling price reflects fair value.
Development properties
Investment properties that are being constructed or developed for future use are classified as development
properties. All costs directly associated with the purchase and construction of a property and all subsequent capital
expenditure is capitalised. Subsequent to initial recognition development properties are stated at fair value. Gains
or losses arising from changes in the fair value of development properties are included in profit or loss in the year in
which they arise.
Valuation of investment and development properties
External, independent valuers, having appropriate recognised professional qualifications and recent experience in
the location and category of the property being valued, value Precinct’s investment property portfolio at least every
12 months. 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.
Right-of-use assets
For leases where Precinct is a lessee, a right-of-use asset is recognised at the commencement date of the lease,
being the date the underlying asset is available for use. Investment property is defined to include both owned
investment property and investment property held by a lessee as a right-of-use asset. Precinct therefore measures
all investment property using the same measurement basis, being the fair value model. The value of the right-of-
use assets represents the fair value of a freehold interest in the land subject to ground lease interests held by
Precinct. Investment property is adjusted for cashflows relating to lease liabilities already recognised separately in
the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position and also reflected in the investment property valuations.
Derecognition of investment properties
Investment properties are derecognised when they have been either sold or when the investment property is
permanently withdrawn from use and no future benefit is expected from its disposal. Any gains or losses on the
derecognition of an investment property are recognised in profit or loss in the year of derecognition.
Owner-occupied properties
Where a property becomes owner-occupied the property is transferred from investment or development properties
to property, plant and equipment. The cost for subsequent accounting for owner-occupied property is the property's
fair value at the date of change in use.
Precinct Properties Group

Fair value measurement, valuation techniques and inputs
Precinct’s properties were valued as at 30 June 2024 by independent registered valuers Colliers International, Bayleys, JLL
and CBRE.
The valuations are reviewed by Precinct and adopted as the carrying value in the financial statements. As part of this
process, Precinct's management verifies all major inputs to the valuations, assesses valuation movements since the previous
period and holds discussions with the independent valuers to assess the reasonableness of the valuations. Ultimately, PPNZ's
directors are responsible for reviewing and approving the investment property valuations.
During the year there were no transfers of investment or development properties between levels of the fair value hierarchy.
The valuation techniques used in measuring the fair value of investment property, as well as the significant unobservable
inputs used are as follows:
Class of propertyValuation techniques usedInputs used to measure fair value
CBD office and retailIncome capitalisation approach,
discounted cash flow analysis and
residual approach
- Office gross market rent per sqm
- Retail gross market rent per sqm
- Core capitalisation rate
- Discount rate
- Terminal capitalisation rate
- Rental growth rate per annum
- Profit and risk allowance
- Forecast development costs
A valuation is determined based on a range of unobservable inputs. These are unobservable as they are not freely
available or explicit in the marketplace but rather analysed from transactional data that has taken place in similar market
circumstances to that prevailing at the date of valuation.
Key unobservable inputs are the capitalisation rate, discount rate, gross market rental, rental growth rates, terminal
capitalisation rate and profit and risk allowance.
The table below sets out these key unobservable inputs and the ranges adopted by the valuers across Precinct's properties
together with the impact on fair value of a change in inputs.

Notes to the Financial Statements
For the year ended 30 June 2024
Valuations reflect, where appropriate:
•The type of tenants actually in occupation or responsible for meeting lease commitments or likely to be in occupation
after letting vacant accommodation, and the market’s general perception of their creditworthiness;
•The allocation of maintenance and insurance responsibilities between Precinct and the lessee; and
•The remaining economic life of the property.
•When rent reviews or lease renewals are pending with anticipated reversionary increases or decreases, it is assumed
that all notices and where appropriate counter-notices have been served validly and within the appropriate time.
The following table explains the key inputs used to measure fair value for investment properties.
Valuation methodologies
Income
capitalisation approach
Determines fair value by capitalising the net income at a capitalisation rate reflecting
the nature, location and tenancy profile of the asset. Subsequent near term capital
adjustments are then made which typically include letting-up allowances for vacancy and
pending expiries, capital expenditure allowances and under/over renting reversions.
Discounted cash flow analysisA financial modelling methodology assessing the long-term return that is likely to be
derived from an asset. Explicit assumptions are required for rental income growth, leasing
up metrics on expiries along with terminal value at the end of the cash flow period, typically
a 10 year horizon. A market-derived discount rate is then applied to the assessed cash flows
and discounted to a present value to determine fair value.
Sales comparison approachFair value is determined by applying positive and negative adjustments to recently
transacted assets of a similar nature.
Residual approachA methodology normally used for property which is undergoing, or is expected to undergo,
redevelopment. Fair value is determined by firstly calculating a gross realisation which
forecasts what a property is worth on completion and deducts all costs associated with the
development of the property. These costs typically include letting and sale costs, a market
required profit and risk margin, construction costs and finance costs.
Unobservable inputs within the income capitalisation approach
Gross market rentThe estimated rental amount which a tenancy within a property is expected to achieve
under a new arm’s length transaction including a share of the property operating expenses.
Core capitalisation rateThe income return produced by an investment expressed as a percentage of the capital
value. The capitalisation rate which is applied to a property’s net market income is
determined through analysis of comparable sales transactions.
Unobservable inputs within the discounted cash flow analysis
Discount rateThe rate of return used to convert a property’s future cash flows to present value. The
discount rate is determined through analysis of comparable sales.
Terminal capitalisation rateThe rate used to convert income into an indication of the anticipated value of the property
at the end of the cash flow period.
Rental growth rateThe growth rate applied to the market rental over the cash flow period.
Additional unobservable inputs within the residual approach
Profit and risk allowanceThe market level of return for a typical developer to receive on their outlay in order to
undertake the respective development having regard to the relative risks (e.g. leasing
progress, fixed price contract, programme/staging) of the project at that point in time.
Forecast development costsAll costs associated with the development of the property. These costs typically include
letting and sale costs, construction costs and finance costs.

Accounting policies
Leases
At contract inception Precinct assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. Where a contract conveys the
right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration it is considered
a lease.
Precinct as a lessee
Precinct applies a single recognition and measurement approach for all leases, except for short-term leases and
leases of low-value assets where IFRS 16 recognition exemptions are applied. Precinct recognises lease liabilities to
make lease payments and right-of-use assets representing the right to use the underlying assets.
Precinct Properties Group108
Right-of-use assets
Precinct recognises right-of-use assets at the commencement date of the lease (i.e., the date the underlying
asset is available for use). Right-of-use assets are measured at cost, less any accumulated depreciation and
impairment losses, and adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities. The cost of right-of-use assets includes
the amount of the lease liabilities recognised, initial direct costs incurred and lease payments made at or before the
commencement date less any lease incentives received. Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis
over the term certain life of the lease.
Lease liabilities
At the commencement date of the lease Precinct recognises lease liabilities measured at the present value of lease
payments to be made over the lease term. The lease payments include fixed payments (including in-substance fixed
payments) less any lease incentives receivable, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate and
amounts expected to be paid under residual value guarantees. The lease payments also include the exercise price
of a purchase option reasonably certain to be exercised by Precinct and payments of penalties for terminating the
lease if the lease term reflects Precinct exercising the option to terminate. Variable lease payments that do not
depend on an index or a rate are recognised as expenses in the period in which the event or condition that triggers
the payment occurs.
In calculating the present value of lease payments Precinct uses its incremental borrowing rate at the lease
commencement date because the interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable. After the
commencement date, the amounts of lease liabilities is increased to reflect the accretion of interest and reduced
for the lease payments made. In addition, the carrying amount of lease liabilities is remeasured if there is a
modification, a change in the lease term, a change in the lease payments (e.g., changes to future payments
resulting from a change in an index or rate used to determine such lease payments) or a change in the assessment
of an option to purchase the underlying asset.
3.4
Operating lease commitments
Precinct has entered into investment property leases (as lessor) which have remaining non-cancellable lease terms of
between one and 19 years (2023: one and 17 years). Precinct has determined that it retains all the significant risks and
rewards of ownership of properties and has therefore classified the leases as operating leases.
Future minimum rental receivable under non-cancellable operating leases are as follows:

Accounting policy
Interests in associates and joint ventures
Interests in associates and joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method and are stated in the
consolidated statement of financial position at cost, adjusted for the movement in Precinct's share of their net
assets and liabilities. Under this method, Precinct's share of the profits and losses after tax of associates and profit
and loss before tax of the joint ventures are included in Precinct profit before taxation. Adjustments to the carrying
amount are also made for Precinct's share of changes in the associates' and the joint venture's other comprehensive
income. When there has been a change recognised directly in the equity of the associate or joint venture, Precinct
recognises its share of any changes, when applicable, in the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity.
Under the equity method, gain or loss resulting from the transfer of investment properties to associates or joint
ventures in exchange for cash or shares is recognised only to the extent of the other investors' interest in the
associates or joint ventures, however when cash and shares are received, the portion of the gain or loss relating to
cash is recognised in full.
At each reporting date, Precinct assesses its equity-accounted investments to determine whether there is any
indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then the investments' recoverable amount is estimated as a
single asset by comparing its recoverable amount with its carrying amount.

Notes to the Financial Statements
For the year ended 30 June 2024
The recoverable amount is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs of disposal. Value in use
is based on the estimated future cash flows, discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that
reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset or cash generating
unit. Fair value less costs of disposal is the price that would be received to sell an asset in an orderly transaction
between market participants at the measurement date, less the costs of disposal and includes a strategic premium
that is associated with collectively owning more than the sum of the individual shares.
If the carrying amount of an equity-accounted investment exceeds its recoverable amount, an impairment loss
is recognised in profit or loss and is applied to the carrying amount of the equity-accounted investment. Such
impairment loss is not allocated to the underlying assets that make up the carrying amount of the equity-accounted
investment. Impairment loss is subsequently reversed only to the extent that the recoverable amount of the
investment subsequently increases.

5.2 Reconciliation of net profit after tax to adjusted funds from operations (AFFO)
AFFO is a non-GAAP financial measure that shows the organisation's underlying and recurring earnings from its operations
and is considered industry best practice for a REIT. This is determined by adjusting statutory net profit (under IFRS) for
certain non-cash and other items. AFFO has been determined based on guidelines established by the Property Council of
Australia and is intended as a supplementary measure of operating performance.

30 June 2024 is $3,134.3 (2023: $3,279.1 million).
The convertible note is subordinated to all secured debt and will convert into ordinary shares of Precinct subject to a Cash
Election. The cash election allows Precinct to elect to instead pay a cash amount to Noteholders at the end of the term.
The number of shares into which each holding of notes converts will be determined by dividing the Principal Amount ($1.00
per note) by the Conversion Price, which is the lesser of:
1. the Conversion Price Cap of $1.36 for PCTHB notes and $1.40 for PCTHC notes; and
2. the Market Price.
To substantially remove currency risk, US private placement proceeds have been fully swapped back to New
Zealand dollars.

Interest bearing liabilities
Bank loans and the NZ retail bond are recognised initially at fair value less any attributable transaction costs.
Subsequent to initial recognition, these liabilities are stated at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
The US private placements are recognised at fair value including translation to NZD with any gains or losses
recognised in the profit or loss as they arise. This fair value is determined using swap models and present value
techniques with observable inputs such as interest rate and cross-currency curves. The movement in fair value
attributable to changes in Precinct's own credit risk is calculated by determining the changes in credit spreads
above observable market interest rates and is recognised in other comprehensive income. This measurement falls
into level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
The convertible note embedded financial derivative is recognised at fair value with any gains or losses recognised
in the profit or loss as they arise. This fair value is determined using the black-scholes model with observable inputs
such as Precinct's share price and its historic standard deviation, the convertible note strike price and the risk free
rate. This measurement falls into level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are
capitalised as part of the cost of that asset.

Accounting policy
Derivative financial instruments
Precinct uses derivative financial instruments (interest rate and cross currency swaps) to manage its exposure to
interest rate and foreign exchange risks arising from operational, financing and investment activities.
Derivative financial instruments are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently re-measured and carried at
fair value. They are carried as assets when the fair value is positive and liabilities when the fair value is negative. The
gain or loss on re-measurement to fair value is recognised directly in profit or loss.
The fair value is the estimated amount that Precinct would receive or pay to terminate the swap at the balance
date, taking into account current rates and creditworthiness of the swap counterparties. This is determined using
swap models and present value techniques with observable inputs such as interest rate and cross-currency curves.
The fair value of derivatives fall into level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

6.5 Share capital
There is only one class of shares, being ordinary shares, and they rank equally with each other. All issued shares are
fully paid, carry full voting rights, have no redemption rights, have no par value and are subject to the terms of the
constitution. PPNZ and PPIL shares are "stapled" and jointly listed on the NZX (Stapled Securities). Each of PPNZ and PPIL has
1,586,352,542 shares on issue as at 30 June 2024.
Stapling of shares is a contractual and constitutional arrangement between the two Stapled Entities whereby each Stapled
Entity's equity securities are combined with (or stapled to) the equity securities issued by the other Stapled Entity. The
Stapled Entities have the same shareholders, and their shares cannot be traded or transferred independently of one another.
The Stapled Securities are traded as a single economic unit with a single quoted price.

6.7 Capital management
The Group's capital includes ordinary shares, retained earnings and interest bearing liabilities. When managing capital,
management's objective is to ensure Precinct continues as a going concern as well as to maintain optimal returns to share
holders and benefits for other creditors. Management also aims to maintain a capital structure that ensures the lowest cost
of capital is available to Precinct.
Precinct meets its objectives for managing capital through its investment decisions on the acquisition and disposal of assets,
developments, dividend policy, share buy backs and issuance of new shares.
Precinct’s banking covenants require total liabilities (excluding deferred tax, derivative financial instruments and sub-
ordinated debt liability) to not exceed 50% of total assets. In addition, the covenants require that secured debt shall be
no more than 50% of the value of the mortgaged property pool. Precinct has complied with this requirement during this year
and the previous year.
Precinct’s policy in respect of capital management is reviewed regularly.
6.8
Financial risk management
In the normal course of business through the use of financial instruments, Precinct is exposed to interest rate risk, credit risk
and liquidity risk. The Precinct Boards agree and review policies for managing each of these risks.

Precinct Properties Group124
a) Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that fluctuations in interest rates impact the Group's financial performance, future cash flows or
the fair value of its financial instruments.
Precinct’s policy is to manage its interest rates using a mix of fixed and variable rate debt. Precinct’s policy is to keep at
least 60% (based on a one year horizon) of its interest bearing liabilities at fixed rates of interest. To manage this mix Precinct
enters into interest rate swaps, in which Precinct agrees to exchange, at specified intervals, the difference between fixed and
variable rates for interest calculated by reference to an agreed-upon notional principal amount. These swaps are designed
to economically hedge underlying debt obligations.
The following table demonstrates the sensitivity to a reasonably possible change in interest rates on interest bearing
liabilities, after the impact of hedging with all other variables held constant.

Effect on profit
or equity
Effect on profit
or equity
25 basis point increase(0.8)(0.9)
25 basis point decrease0.80.9
b) Credit risk
Credit risk represents the risk that the counterparty to the financial instrument will fail to discharge an obligation and cause
the Group to incur a financial loss. Financial instruments which subject Precinct to credit risk principally consist of cash,
debtors, loan receivables and derivative financial instruments in an asset position. Precinct’s exposure to credit risk is equal
to the carrying value of the financial instruments.
Precinct conducts credit assessments to determine credit worthiness prior to entering into lease agreements. In addition,
debtor and loan balances are monitored on an ongoing basis with the result that Precinct’s exposure to bad debts is not
significant. No loan balances are past due.
There is no significant concentration of credit risk as financial assets are spread amongst a number of counterparties.

c) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that Precinct will experience difficulty in either realising assets or otherwise raising sufficient funds to
satisfy commitments associated with financial liabilities.
Precinct monitors and evaluates liquidity requirements on an ongoing basis and generates sufficient cash flows from its
operating activities to meet its obligations arising from its financial liabilities and has bank facilities available to cover
potential shortfalls. The Group’s approach to managing liquidity risk is to ensure it will always have sufficient liquidity
to meet its obligations when they fall due under both normal and stress conditions. The Group manages liquidity by
maintaining adequate committed credit facilities and spreading maturities in accordance with internal policy.
The tables below analyse Precinct’s financial liabilities (principal and interest) and net cash flows of derivative financial
instruments into relevant contracted maturity periods.

Precinct has netting arrangements in place under its facility agreement and its hedging arrangements. Under its facility
agreement, Finance Parties can only set off credit balances against amounts due and payable while an event of default
or potential event of default is continuing. Under its hedging arrangements, netting occurs under the terms of the ISDA
Agreements to amounts that would be payable on the same day between the counterparties in the same currency and in
respect of the same transaction (or in some instances, same type of transaction) and may also occur on early termination or
an event of default.
Accounting policy
Derecognition of financial instruments
Financial assets are derecognised when the right to receive cash flows from the financial asset has expired or when
the entity transfers substantially all the risks and rewards of the financial asset. If the entity neither retains nor
transfers substantially all of the risks and rewards, it derecognises the asset if it has transferred control of the asset.
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the obligation has expired or been transferred.

The group has tax losses of $223.4 million available to carry forward as at 30 June 2024 (2023: $228.5 million).
Imputation credits available for use as at 30 June 2024 are $nil (PPNZ) and $150,625 (PPIL) (2023: $nil).
Accounting policy
Income tax
a) Recognition and measurement
Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax expense is recognised in profit or loss except to
the extent that it relates to items recognised directly in equity, in which case it is recognised in equity.
Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively
enacted at the reporting date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.
b) Key estimates and assumptions
Precinct undertakes transactions in the ordinary course of business where the income tax treatment requires the
exercise of judgement. Precinct estimates the amount expected to be paid to / recovered from tax authorities based
on its understanding and interpretation of the law, seeking external advice where appropriate, and considers that
it holds appropriate provisions. Uncertain tax positions are presented as current or deferred tax assets or liabilities
with reference to the nature of the underlying uncertainty based on management's determination of the likelihood
that uncertain tax positions will be accepted by the tax authorities.
Precinct applies judgement in evaluating whether the proceeds of sale of properties are on capital or revenue
account for income tax purposes.

Deferred tax assets
Precinct has recognised deferred tax assets relating to the fair value of financial instruments, share-based payments,
accumulated tax losses of the group and lease liabilities.
Deferred tax liabilities
Precinct has recognised deferred tax liabilities relating to the depreciation claw-back which would arise on the sale of
investment properties at carrying value.
Precinct Properties Group
128
In estimating this deferred tax liability, Precinct has relied on independent valuers' assessments of the market value
of the land and improvements. For 30 June 2024, Precinct has then relied on insurance replacement cost reports to
split the value of improvements (being the building structure and the fixtures and fittings), identified in the independent
valuer's assessments.
Accounting policy
Deferred tax
Deferred tax is recognised using the balance sheet method, providing for temporary differences between
the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for
taxation purposes.
A deferred tax asset is recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available
against which temporary differences can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and
are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised.
For deferred tax liabilities or assets arising on investment property measured at fair value, it is assumed that the
carrying amounts of investment property will be recovered through sale.

8.4 Share-based payments
a) Description of share-based payments arrangements
On 1 April 2021, Precinct introduced a long-term incentive scheme (‘scheme’) for key management personnel and senior
executives. Under this scheme, share rights were issued which entitles participants to receive ordinary shares in Precinct.
The original tranche of rights vest within the period of 15-39 months from 1 April 2021. All rights issued after the original
tranche generally vest over a period of 36 months. Vesting of share rights are subject to achieving service and/or
performance conditions and is classified as equity-settled. These are at-risk payments designed to align the reward for
senior management personnel and senior executives with the enhancement of shareholder value over a multi-year period.
Precinct Properties Group
130
The key terms and conditions related to the grants under this scheme are as follows:
Restricted share rights (granted to
senior management personnel and
senior executives)
Vest over service periods of 36-48 months provided the participant remains employed
by Precinct.
Performance share rights (granted
to senior executives)
Vest over 36-39 months (assessment period) if the related performance hurdle is met
and participant remains employed by Precinct. These will vest as follows:
Absolute TSR rights (one-third of performance share rights)
If Precinct's TSR exceeds a specified annualised compounding rate.
Relative TSR rights (one-third of performance share rights)
Over the assessment period on a progressive vesting scale based on Precinct's TSR
relative to the TSR of property group comprising other listed property issuers.
FFO growth rights (one-third of performance share rights)
Over the assessment period on a progressive vesting scale based on Precinct's FFO
growth per share relative to CPI growth rate.
TSR - Total shareholder's return; FFO - Funds from operations
On vesting date, subject to meeting the service and performance conditions as above, each share right converts to one
ordinary share. Key management personnel and senior executives are liable for tax on the shares received at this point.
b) Reconciliation of outstanding share rights
The following table illustrates the number and weighted average exercise prices (WAEP) of, and movements in, share options

The weighted average remaining contractual life for share rights outstanding at 30 June 2024 is 1.8 years (2023: 2.2 years).
c) Fair value measurement of share rights
The fair value of the employee share rights awarded has been measured using a binomial model and Monte Carlo
simulation. Service and non-market performance conditions attached to the arrangements were not taken into account
in measuring fair value.

The management expense relating to the LTI scheme for the year ended 30 June 2024 is $1.2 million (30 June 2023:
$1.4 million) with a corresponding increase in the share-based payments reserve. The unamortised fair value of the
remaining share rights at 30 June 2024 is $3.1 million (30 June 2023: $3.8 million).
Accounting policy
Share-based payment arrangements
a) Recognition and measurement
The grant-date fair value of share-based payment arrangements granted to employees is generally recognised
as an expense, with a corresponding increase in equity, over the vesting periods of the awards. The amount
recognised as an expense is adjusted to reflect the number of awards for which the related service and non-market
performance conditions are expected to be met, such that the amount ultimately recognised is based on the
number of awards that meet the related service and non-market performance conditions at the vesting date. For
share-based payment awards with non-vesting conditions, the grant date fair value of the share-based payment is
measured to reflect such conditions and there is no true-up for differences between expected and actual outcomes.
b) Key estimates and assumptions
It has been assumed that the key management personnel and senior executives will remain employed with Precinct
on each of the vesting dates and that the non-market performance conditions will be met.

Independent Auditor's report to the shareholders of Precinct Properties New Zealand Limited and
Precinct Properties Investments Limited
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Precinct Properties New Zealand Limited ("PPNZ") and its subsidiaries and
Precinct Properties Investments Limited ("PPIL) and it's subsidiaries (together the “Group”) on pages
87 to 134, which
comprise the consolidated statement of financial position of the Group as at 30 June 2024, and the consolidated statement
of comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for the
year then ended of the Group, and the notes to the financial statements including material accounting policy information.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements on pages 87 to 134 present fairly, in all material respects, the
consolidated financial position of the Group as at 30 June 2024 and its consolidated financial performance and consolidated
cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with New Zealand equivalents to International Financial Reporting
Standards and International Financial Reporting Standards.
This report is made solely to the shareholders of PPNZ and PPIL, 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 PPNZ, PPIL
and their shareholders, as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (New Zealand). Our responsibilities under
those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of
our report.
We are independent of the Group in accordance with Professional and Ethical Standard 1 International Code of Ethics
for Assurance Practitioners (including International Independence Standards) (New Zealand) issued by the New Zealand
Auditing and Assurance Standards Board, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with
these requirements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Ernst & Young provides other assurance related services to the Group. Ernst & Young leases office space from the Group.
Partners and employees of our firm may deal with the Group on normal terms within the ordinary course of trading activities
of the business of the Group. We have no other relationship with, or interest in, the Group.
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 year. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the
consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, but we do not provide a separate opinion
on these matters. For each matter below, our description of how our audit addressed the matter is provided in that context.
We have fulfilled the responsibilities described in the Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section
of the audit report, including in relation to these matters. Accordingly, our audit included the performance of procedures
designed to respond to our assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements. The results of our
audit procedures, including the procedures performed to address the matters below, provide the basis for our audit opinion
on the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Investment and Development Property Valuations
Why significantHow our audit addressed the key audit matter
The Group’s investment and development properties have
assessed fair values of $2,987.4 million and $201.2 million
respectively, and account for 80% of the group’s
total assets.
The Group engaged third-party registered valuers to
determine the fair value of each investment and
development property at 30 June 2024.
The property valuations require the use of judgments
specific to the properties, as well as consideration of
the prevailing market conditions. Significant assumptions
used in the valuations are inherently subjective and a
small difference in any one of the key assumptions, when
aggregated, could result in a significant change to the
property valuations. As a result, we consider the valuation
of investment and development properties and the related
disclosures in the financial statements to be significant to
our audit.
For investment and development properties key
assumptions are made in respect of:
•Forecast market rent and rental growth rates; and
•estimated capitalisation or discount rates.
For development properties, which are valued using the
residual approach, additional key assumptions are made
in respect of:
•forecast development costs; and
•profit and risk allowance.
Disclosures relating to investment and development
properties and the associated significant judgments
are included in Note 3.1 ‘Investment and Development
Properties’ to the consolidated financial statements.
Our audit procedures included the following:
•Held discussions with management to understand:
–changes in the condition of each property; and
–the impact market conditions had on the
Group’s investment and development properties.
•On a sample basis we:
–Evaluated the Group’s internal review of the
third-party valuation reports.
–Involved our real estate valuation specialists
to assist with our assessment of whether
significant valuation assumptions fell within
reasonable ranges and the valuation
methodologies adopted were appropriate.
–Assessed key inputs supplied to the third-party
valuers by the Group, including comparing the
tenancy schedule and specific provisions in the
lease agreements to the underlying records held
by the Group.
–Assessed the significant assumptions applied
by the third-party valuers for reasonableness
compared to previous period assumptions, the
changing state of the properties and other
market changes.
–Assessed the competence, qualifications and
objectivity of the third party-valuers.
–Agreed the carrying value of each property to
the relevant third-party valuation report.
•Considered the adequacy of the disclosures in relation
to investment and development properties.

Information other than the Financial Statements and Auditor's Report
The directors of PPNZ and PPIL are responsible for the annual report, which includes information other than the consolidated
financial statements and auditor’s 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.
In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and,
in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements or
our knowledge obtained during the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
If, based upon the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we
are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Directors' responsibilities for the financial statements
The directors are responsible, on behalf of the entities, for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated
financial statements in accordance with New Zealand Equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards and
International Financial Reporting Standards, and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable
the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing on behalf of the entities 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 directors either intend to liquidate the Group or cease operations, or have no
realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the 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
International Standards on Auditing (New Zealand) 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 the auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located at External
Reporting Board’s website: https://www.xrb.govt.nz/standards-for-assurance-practitioners/auditors-responsibilities/audit-
report-1/. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.
The engagement partner on the audit resulting in this independent auditor’s report is Susan Jones.
