OPERATING PROFIT

NET PROFIT AFTER TAX
The resilience of Kiwi
Property’s assets is
demonstrated through
solid net rental income
growth of 7.0% for the
half-year.
Resilience showing through
Our interim results for the six months ended 30 September
2024 (1H25) have reinforced conviction that our strategy,
focused on creating and curating retail-led mixed-use
properties, is building momentum as challenging recent
macroeconomic conditions start to ease.
The resilience of Kiwi Property’s assets is demonstrated
through solid net rental income growth of 7.0% for the half-
year. Operating profit before tax was $56.4 million (up 7.7%),
reflecting a tight focus on costs, efficiencies, and execution,
while net profit after tax was $43.2 million (up 218.4%),
including a modest fair value gain over the period. While
AFFO is marginally lower than the prior period (-0.4%),
this is encouraging given higher interest costs and lower
depreciation deductions as a result of the Government’s tax
legislation change.
Retail sales at Kiwi Property’s assets have also held up well
considering the current economic environment, with sales
down -1.8% across the portfolio compared to the -3.8%
1
reduction in sales nationally. Kiwi Property’s mixed-use
specialty gross occupancy cost ratio (a key measure of
tenancy affordability) increased from 12.2% to 14.3%, remaining
within a conservative range and leaving room for future rental
growth following the 4.2% total rent growth achieved over the
first half of the financial year. The attractiveness of our centres
as destinations also continues to be demonstrated through
foot traffic, which increased from 36.3 million to 37.3 million
over the preceding 12 months.
The results of the last six months have given us even greater
confidence in our strategy. Importantly, as the interest rate
cycle begins to unwind and lift downward pressure, we are
seeing a stabilisation of Kiwi Property asset valuations that
is also reflected in the 1H25 results. On 30 September 2024,
the Kiwi Property portfolio was valued at $3.3 billion, including
a fair value gain of 0.3% from 31 March 2024. Net tangible
assets were stable at $1.17 per share.
Our expectation is that in creating a high-quality asset base
with good transport connectivity, we will achieve stronger
valuation and rental uplift over time.
Actively managing the business
We have been actively managing and optimising our portfolio,
capital, and business during the first six months of the
financial year, including being disciplined about non-essential
expenditure. This has seen a 20% reduction in employment
and administration expenses for the half-year due to people-
related cost reduction initiatives and lower one-off costs.
Occupancy across our asset portfolio has remained strong,
thanks to our robust and creative leasing strategy that pre-
empts vacancy by leveraging existing relationships and making
use of vacant space with short-term Activate tenancies.
We have a clear capital allocation strategy, which includes the
potential for the selective and considered divestment of assets
over time that are no longer essential to our strategic focus
on retail-led, mixed-use properties. Valuations appear to have
stabilised and we have minimised incremental capital spend,
with Kiwi Property’s gearing 38.0% as at 30 September 2024.
We are confident that gearing will reduce as the property cycle
turns and will take the necessary time on asset sale initiatives
to ensure that value is maximised for shareholders.
In other capital initiatives, we were pleased with the
participation in our dividend reinvestment plan, with 47%
take-up an increase from 38% in September 2023. The DRP
will also operate for the next dividend, retaining further capital
in the business.
Build-to-rent comes to life
On 11 June 2024, Prime Minister Christopher Luxon and Housing
Minister Chris Bishop officially joined us in opening Resido, our
flagship 295 apartment build-to-rent (BTR) development at
Sylvia Park, the largest of its kind in the country.
This new asset class has the potential to play an important
role in helping to address the growing demand for rental
accommodation and alleviate New Zealand’s housing shortfall,
and we are proud to be a leader in this market.
The lease-up progress at Resido is in line with our
expectations, with 148 leases signed as at 21 November (50%
of the total apartments). We are on track to achieve our
ambition of Resido being fully leased up within 12-18 months
of launch.
The high quality of the development and its attraction for
residents has been demonstrated in the achieved rentals,
reflecting the additional amenities provided (including on-site
team, gym, rooftop BBQ, media room, residents’ lounge, dog
park and proximity to Sylvia Park shopping centre).

Kiwi Property Interim Report FY253
The next retail-led mixed-use community
Sylvia Park has proven to be the best proof-point to date of
the Kiwi Property retail-led mixed-use strategy, highlighting
the benefits of taking a long-term approach – starting with
strategic land holdings near transport and population growth
nodes, and adding quality retail, residential, office, and
amenities to the community.
Drury is expected to be another such exemplar, with transport
connections underway with the new Drury Central train
station due for completion in 2025, and advanced discussions
underway on large-format retail (LFR) and residential sale
opportunities. These will help catalyse the growth of the
community as part of stage one.
Progress on stage one continues with major earthworks
completed in June 2024. The strategy is to maximise the
returns from stage one super-lot sales, which will be used
to fund subsequent development stages. Stage two will focus
on ownership and development of the town centre, which
is where we expect to create significant long-term value.
It was encouraging to see our Drury Metropolitan Town Centre
project announced in October as a listed project on Schedule
2 of the Governments Fast-track Approvals Bill, as well as a
number of other Drury infrastructure projects. This is positive
news and aligns with our belief that Drury is a significant
housing and community infrastructure development, enabling
growth for Auckland.
Investment in Mackersy Property
In November 2024, Kiwi Property invested in Mackersy
Property (by way of a $6.5 million convertible loan) to support
Mackersy’s continued growth. On conversion, Kiwi Property’s
investment will result in a 50% shareholding.
Mackersy Property is one of New Zealand’s leading full-service
investment management firms with over $2 billion in real estate
assets under management. It is focused on sourcing, funding
and managing high-quality properties on behalf of wholesale
investors across New Zealand. Mackersy Property manages
assets across the office, retail, LFR, and industrial sectors.
Initially we anticipate the deal will be marginally accretive
to earnings, with the ability to grow over time as market
activity returns.
Exposure to this attractive business will also provide Kiwi
Property with diversification of capital sources with direct
access to a deep pool of ~2,800 wholesale investors. Key
executive shareholders (with strong investor relationships
and origination capability) have been retained. The business
is scalable and has a strong track record in the market.
Sylvia Park has proven
to be the best proof-
point to date of the
Kiwi Property retail-led
mixed-use strategy,
highlighting the benefits
of taking a long-term
approach.

Sustained ESG momentum
Kiwi Property has a proud environmental, social and
governance (ESG) track record.
Our sustainability approach is based on three key pillars;
People, Places and Partnerships. It is an approach founded
on a belief that leading sustainability performance supports
better communities, attracts more diverse capital, and creates
more value for shareholders over time.
We are deeply committed to ensuring our developments are
measured on their sustainability performance, with recent
developments Resido receiving an 8-Star Homestar Design
rating, and 3 Te Kehu Way achieving Aotearoa‘s first 6-Star
Design and As-Built v1.0 Green Star rating.
We also continue to be a proud supporter of the Mental Health
Foundation and the great work they do in our communities.
Dividend and guidance
Kiwi Property remains committed to maintaining and growing
dividends over time. As outlined in the FY24 annual results,
a legislative change earlier this year removed the ability of
companies to claim depreciation on commercial buildings.
This led to Kiwi Property reducing its forecast dividend for
the FY25 year. Kiwi Property has reiterated its dividend
guidance at 5.40 cents per share for FY25
1
.
Kiwi Property will pay a cash dividend of 1.35 cents per share
for the second quarter of FY25 on 20 December 2024, taking
the interim cash dividend payment to 2.70 cents per share.
The dividend reinvestment plan (DRP) will operate for the Q2
FY25 dividend and will be reassessed on a quarterly basis.
Pricing for the DRP will be determined by the volume weighted
average share price for the five trading days to 11 December,
subject to a 2% discount.
FY25 outlook
Kiwi Property remains firmly focused on creating long-term
value for shareholders. We will continue to optimise our
assets and business, invest or divest carefully in opportunities
according to our capital allocation framework, and position
ourselves for when the economy improves. Downward
momentum in the interest rate environment has also provided
Kiwi Property with greater confidence in its earnings and
dividend profile.
Heading into the rest of the financial year, we will continue
active management of our portfolio. Our operational focus
involves leasing up the rest of Resido, continuing to progress
the Drury development and finalising some of the early land
sales.
As always, we thank the wider Kiwi Property team for their
hard work on your behalf, and we thank you for your ongoing
support as our shareholders.

Key estimates and assumptions: income tax
Deferred tax on depreciation
Deferred tax is provided in respect of depreciation expected to be recovered on the sale of investment properties at fair value.
Investment properties are valued each year by independent valuers. These values include an allocation of the valuation between
the land and building components. The calculation of deferred tax on depreciation recovered relies on this allocation provided
by the valuers.
The calculation of deferred tax on depreciation recovered also requires an assessment to be made of market values attributable
to fixtures and fittings. The market values of fixtures and fittings for significant properties have been assessed utilising
independent valuation advice and the remaining properties have been assessed with reference to previous transactional
evidence and their age and quality.

Key estimates and assumptions: valuation and fair value measurement of
investment properties
Introduction
All of the Group's investment properties have been determined to be Level 3 (31 March 2024: Level 3) in the fair value hierarchy
because all significant inputs that determine fair value are not based on observable market data.
Valuation process
In line with the Group’s valuation policy, as at
31 March 2024 all properties were carried at external valuation or contract price as
applicable, except for a small number of non-core residential properties owned by the Group which were subject to a kerbside
value assessment completed by an independent registered valuer.
For 30 September 2024 interim financial reporting purposes, the Board and Management have reviewed the portfolio using
available market data and considered other key property information. Where fair value movements were material in the context
of the Group's valuation policy, the Board and Management have engaged independent registered valuers to complete desktop
assessments. This resulted in desktop assessments being completed for all investment properties other than The Aurora
Centre, Drury landholdings (development land), Sylvia Park Lifestyle and the adjoining industrial and non-core residential
properties within the Sylvia Park Precinct. Whilst the desktop assessments were completed for internal purposes, they have
been reviewed by Management and adopted by the Board as Directors valuations. For the properties that were not assessed
by the valuers, the Board and Management determined the appropriate fair value as at 30 September 2024.
Investment property values are assessed within a range indicated by at least two valuation approaches; most commonly
the income capitalisation approach and discounted cash flow approach. Other valuation approaches, including the sales
comparison approach or deferred land value approach may be used depending on the nature of the property. In addition, the
adopted valuation of an investment property undergoing development may be assessed using a residual approach.
Estimates are used in these valuation approaches to determine fair value. For the two most common approaches, these include
the capitalisation rate in the income capitalisation approach and the discount rate in the discounted cash flow approach. Both
approaches are also influenced by other estimates relating to market rental levels, vacancy rates, letting-up allowances and the
cost of ongoing operating expenses, capital expenditure and other capital payments.
In relation to capital expenditure, the values for Sylvia Park, LynnMall, The Base, The Aurora Centre and The Plaza include
deductions for seismic strengthening works. The valuer of Centre Place North has assessed the seismic risk of the asset in the
capitalisation rate of the valuation and made deductions for seismic strengthening works. The Group has provided the valuers
with the estimated cost of works for each asset. In some instances the valuer has assessed additional costs and made additional
adjustment such as for cost escalation and profit and risk for potential works to buildings which have not been subject to a
Detailed Seismic Assessment (DSA).
Resido Lynton, within the Sylvia Park Precinct was valued using the residual approach as at 30 September 2024. The
development of this property is completed with some outstanding costs to be finalised. Under the residual approach, valuers
estimate the ‘as if complete’ value of an asset using the discounted cash flow approach described above. They then deduct
remaining project costs to determine the asset’s ‘as is’ or residual value.
Kiwi Property Interim Report FY2520
3.2 Investment properties (continued)
Seismic
The Group's approach and process to seismic resilience of the portfolio is described in the annual financial statements.
Where the Group has become aware of potential remediation requirements from recent preliminary investigations, the Group
has provided additional provisions for inclusion in the valuations, the present value of which is $40.2 million (31 March 2024:
$40.6 million). These provisions are estimated allowances pending the outcome of further investigations and are based on the
best information available at the time of valuation but may be subject to change as circumstances and standards continue
to evolve.
Climate change
The Group continues to identify and assess the impact of climate change on the business and its assets. The desktop
assessments and director valuations made no explicit adjustment for climate related risks. However, climate related risks are
implicitly accounted for in the valuation process as investment metrics adopted by valuers and the Board and Management
such as capitalisation rates and discount rates were benchmarked against transaction evidence of similar
profile assets which
may also be subject to climate related risks. At 31 March 2024, the valuers considered climate related risks such as flooding,
short-term sea level rise and fire by checking national and local authority hazard registers for the properties valued and adjusting
investment metrics for any risks identified that are considered material. For the period ended 30 September 2024, the Group
is not aware of any significant changes to such risks on its assets. The Group and valuers anticipate that climate change could
have a greater influence on valuations in the future as investment markets place a greater emphasis on this risk and its impacts.
Impact on values at 30 September 2024
For the period ended 30 September 2024, the Group reported a fair value gain of $9.5 million. The gain reflects improvements
in capitalisation rates and discount rates consistent with the current economic environment.

not expected to be realised within 12 months after the reporting period.

Recognition and measurement
All interest bearing liabilities are initially recognised at the fair value of the consideration received, less directly attributable
transaction costs. After initial recognition, they are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate
method whereby the transaction costs are spread over the expected life of the instrument.
Bank loans
The bank loans are provided by ANZ Bank New Zealand, Bank of New Zealand, China Construction Bank Corporation (New Zealand
Branch), Commonwealth Bank of Australia, The Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation (HSBC), Industrial and Commercial Bank
of China Limited, Auckland Branch (ICBC), MUFG Bank, Ltd (Auckland Branch) and Westpac New Zealand.
In September 2024, the Group increased the overall bank facilities from $0.95 billion to $1 billion.
The Group is required to comply with certain financial covenants in respect of its interest bearing liabilities. During the six months
ended 30 September 2024 and year ended 31 March 2024, the Group was in compliance with all of its financial covenants.

Security
The bank loans and fixed-rate green bonds are secured by a Global Security Deed granted by the Charging Group over all of their
assets, together with first ranking registered mortgages over substantially all of the real property (being land and buildings and other
fixtures on that land) owned by the Charging Group. The Charging Group comprises Kiwi Property Group Limited and its subsidiaries
that are party to the Global Security Deed as guarantors. At the date of these financial statements, the guaranteeing subsidiaries
comprise Kiwi Property Holdings Limited, Kiwi Property Holdings No. 2 Limited, Kiwi Property Holdings No. 3 Limited, Kiwi Property
Holdings No. 4 Limited, Kiwi Property Holdings No. 5 Limited, Kiwi Property Holdings No. 7 Limited, Sylvia Park Business Centre Limited,
Kiwi Property Te Awa Limited and Kiwi Property Centre Place Limited. The guaranteeing subsidiaries may change from time to time.

Key estimate: fair value of interest rate derivatives
The fair values of interest rate derivatives are determined from valuations prepared by an independent treasury advisor using
valuation techniques classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy (31 March 2024: Level 2). These are based on the present
value of estimated future cash flows based on the terms and maturities of each contract and the current market interest rates
at balance date. Fair values also
reflect the current creditworthiness of the derivative counterparties. These values are verified
against valuations prepared by the respective counterparties. The valuations were based on market rates at 30 September 2024
of between 4.87% for the 90-day BKBM and 3.88% for the 10-year swap rate (31 March 2024: 5.64% and 4.37%, respectively).

Independent auditor's
review report
TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF KIWI PROPERTY GROUP LIMITED
Kiwi Property Interim Report FY2526
Conclusion
We have reviewed the consolidated interim financial statements (‘interim financial statements’) of Kiwi Property Group Limited (‘the
Company’) and its controlled entities (‘the Group’) on pages 8 to 25 which comprise the consolidated statement of financial position
as at 30 September 2024, and the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement
of cash flows for the six months ended on that date, and notes to the interim financial statements, including material accounting
policy information.
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim financial statements of the Group do
not present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Group as at 30 September 2024 and its financial performance
and cash flows for the six months ended on that date in accordance with NZ IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and IAS 34 Interim
Financial Reporting.
Basis for conclusion
We conducted our review in accordance with NZ SRE 2410 (Revised) Review of Financial Statements Performed by the Independent
Auditor of the Entity (‘NZ SRE 2410 (Revised)’). Our responsibilities are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Review
of the Interim Financial Statements section of our report.
We are independent of the Group in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements in New Zealand relating to the audit of the
annual financial statements, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements.
Other than in our capacity as auditor and other assurance-related services (audits of joint venture financial statements, audits of
special purpose financial information in accordance with tenancy agreements, and assurance services in relation to greenhouse gas
inventory), we have no relationship with or interests in the Company or any of its controlled entities. These services have not impaired
our independence as auditor of the Company and Group.
Directors' responsibility for the interim consolidated financial statements
The directors are responsible on behalf of the Company for the preparation and fair presentation of the interim financial statements
in accordance with NZ IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and for such internal control as the
directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation and fair presentation of the interim financial statements that are free from
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor’s responsibilities for the review of the interim consolidated financial statements
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the interim financial statements based on our review. NZ SRE 2410 (Revised) requires
us to conclude whether anything has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim financial statements, taken
as a whole, are not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with NZ IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and IAS 34 Interim
Financial Reporting.
A review of the interim financial statements in accordance with NZ SRE 2410 (Revised) is a limited assurance engagement. We perform
procedures, primarily consisting of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and
applying analytical and other review procedures. The procedures performed in a review are substantially less than those performed
in an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (New Zealand) and consequently do not enable us to
obtain assurance that we might identify in an audit. Accordingly we do not express an audit opinion on the interim financial statements.
Restriction on use
This report is made solely to the company’s shareholders, as a body. Our review has been undertaken so that we might state to the
company’s shareholders those matters we are required to state to them in a review report and for no other purpose. To the fullest
extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the company’s shareholders as a body, for
our engagement, for this report, or for the conclusions we have formed.

Resilience showing through
Kiwi Property released its interim results for the six months ended 30 September 2024
(1H25) today, with the results reinforcing conviction that its strategy, focused on
curating and creating retail-led mixed-use properties, is building momentum as
challenging recent macroeconomic conditions start to ease.
Kiwi Property Chair Simon Shakesheff said, “It’s a pleasing half-year result given the
current economic environment. The resilience of Kiwi Property’s assets is demonstrated
through solid net rental income growth of 7.0% for the half-year. Operating profit before
tax was $56.4 million (up 7.7%), reflecting a tight focus on costs, efficiencies, and
execution, while net profit after tax was $43.2 million (up 218. 4%), including a modest
fair value gain over the period. While AFFO is marginally lower than the prior period
(-0.4%), this is encouraging given higher interest costs and lower depreciation
deductions as a result of the Government’s tax legislation change.”
Kiwi Property CEO Clive Mackenzie said, “The results of the last six months have given us
even greater c onfidence in our strategy. Importantly, as the interest rate cycle begins
to unwind and lift downward pressure, we are also seeing a stabilisation of Kiwi Property
asset valuations that is reflected in the 1H25 results. Our expectation is that in creating a
high-quality asset base with good transport connectivity, we will get stronger valuation
and rental uplift over time.”
On 30 September 2024, the Kiwi Property portfolio was valued at $3.3 billion, including a
fair value gain of 0.3% from 31 March 2024. Net tangible assets were stable at $1.17 per
share.
“Retail sales at Kiwi Property’s assets have also held up well considering the current
economic environment, with sales down -1.8% across the portfolio compared to the
-3.8%
1
reduction in sales nationally. Kiwi Property’s mixed-use specialty gross occupancy
cost ratio (a key measure of tenancy affordability) increased from 12.2% to 14.3%,
remaining within a conservative range and leaving room for future rental growth
following the 4.2% total rent growth achieved over the first half of the financial year. The

conditions

attractiveness of our centres as destinations also continues to be demonstrated through
foot traffic, which increased from 36.3 million to 37.3 million over the preceding 12
months.”
Actively managing the business
Kiwi Property has been actively managing and optimising its portfolio, capital, and
business during the first six months of the financial year, including being disciplined
about non-essential expenditure. This has seen a 20% reduction in employment and
administration expenses for the half-year due to people-related cost reduction
initiatives and lower one-off costs.
Mackenzie said, “Occupancy across our asset portfolio has remained resilient during
this economic cycle, thanks to our robust and creative leasing strategy that pre-empts
vacancy by leveraging existing relationships and making use of vacant space with
short-term Activate tenancies.”
Kiwi Property has a clear capital allocation strategy, which includes the potential for
selective and considered divestment of assets over time that are no longer essential to
the strategic focus on retail-led, mixed-use properties.
“Valuations appear to have stabilised and we have minimised incremental capital
spend, with Kiwi Property’s gearing 38.0% as at 30 September 2024. We are confident
that gearing will reduce as the property cycle turns and will take the necessary time on
asset sale initiatives to ensure that value is maximised for shareholders.”
In other capital initiatives, Mackenzie also noted that “we were pleased with the
participation in our dividend reinvestment plan, with 47% take-up an increase from 38%
in September 2023. The DRP will also operate for the next dividend, retaining further
capital in the business.”
Build-to-rent comes to life
On 11 June 2024, Prime Minister Christopher Luxon and Housing Minister Chris Bishop
officially opened Resido, the Kiwi Property flagship 295 apartment build-to -rent
development at Sylvia Park, the largest of its kind in the country.
Mackenzie said, “This new asset class has the potential to play an important role in
helping to address the growing demand for rental accommodation and alleviate New
Zealand's housing shortfall, and we are proud to be a leader in this market.
The lease-up progress at Resido is in line with our expectations, with 148 leases signed as
at 21 November (50% of the total apartments). The high quality of the development,
and its attraction for residents, has been demonstrated in the achieved rentals,
reflecting the additional amenities provided (including on-site team, gym, rooftop BBQ,
media room, residents’ lounge, dog park and proximity to Sylvia Park shopping
centre).”

The next retail-led mixed-use community
Sylvia Park has proven to be the best proof-point to date of the Kiwi Property retail-led
mixed-use strategy, highlighting the benefits of taking a long-term approach – starting
with strategic land holdings near transport and population growth nodes, and adding
quality retail, residential, office, and amenities to the community.
Drury is expected to be another such exemplar, with transport connections underway
with the new Drury Central train station due in 2025, and residential and big-box retail
earmarked to help catalyse the growth of the community as part of stage one.
Progress on stage one continues with major earthworks completed in June 2024. The
large-lot sales will be used to fund subsequent development stages. Stage two will
focus on ownership and development of the town centre, which is where we expect to
create significant long-term value.
Investment in Mackersy Property
In November 2024, Kiwi Property invested in Mackersy Property (by way of a $6.5 million
convertible loan) to support Mackersy’s continued growth. On conversion, Kiwi
Property’s investment will result in a 50% shareholding.
Mackersy Property is one of New Zealand’s leading full-service investment
management firms with over $2 billion in real estate assets under management. It is
focused on sourcing, funding and managing high-quality properties on behalf of
wholesale investors across New Zealand. Mackersy Property manages assets across the
office, retail, LFR and industrial sectors.
Initially the deal will be marginally accretive to earnings, with the ability to grow over
time as market activity returns.
Mackenzie said, “ We are excited about the opportunity that this investment provides.
Exposure to this attractive business will diversify Kiwi Property’s capital sources, providing
direct access to a deep pool of wholesale investors. Key executive shareholders, with
strong investor relationships and origination capability, have been retained. The
business is also scalable and has a strong track record in the market.”
Sustained ESG momentum
Kiwi Property has a proud ESG track record. Its sustainability approach is based on three
pillars: People, Places and Partnerships. It i s founded on a belief that leading
sustainability performance supports better communities, attracts more diverse capital,
and creates more value for shareholders over time.
Mackenzie said, “We are deeply committed to creating sustainable communities,
ensuring our developments are measured on their sustainability performance, with
recent developments Resido receiving an 8-Star Homestar Design rating, and 3 Te Kehu
Way achieving Aotearoa‘s first 6-Star Design and As-Built v1.0 Green Star rating.”
4
We also continue to be a proud supporter of the Mental Health Foundation and the
great work they do in our communities.
Dividend and guidance
Kiwi Property will pay a cash dividend of 1.35 cents per share for the second quarter of
FY25 on 20 December 2024, taking the interim cash dividend payment to 2.70 cents per
share. The dividend reinvestment plan will operate for the Q2 FY25 dividend and will be
reassessed by the company on a quarterly basis. Pricing for the DRP will be determined
by the volume weighted average share price for the five trading days to 11 December,
subject to a 2% discount.
Kiwi Property today also reiterated its dividend guidance at 5.40 cents per share for
FY25.

FY25 outlook
Shakesheff said, “ Kiwi Property remains firmly focused on creating long-term value for
shareholders. We continue to optimise our assets and business, invest or divest carefully
in opportunities according to our capital allocation framework, and position ourselves
for when the economy improves. Downward momentum in the interest rate
environment has also provided Kiwi Property with greater confidence in its earnings and
dividend profile.
Heading into the rest of the financial year, we expect to continue active management
of our resilient portfolio. Our operational focus involves leasing up the rest of Resido,
continuing to progress Drury and finalising some of the early land sales.”

•The Resido development was impacted by the
downstream effects of COVID-19 including construction
labour and material shortages which resulted in cost
escalation. The development cost was ~$19m (~9%)
above the initial project budget.
•The project was also impacted by deteriorating
investment market conditions with rising interest rates.
Since construction commenced in February 2022, the fair
value of our total investment portfolio has declined ~12%.
•This compares with a total unrealised development
shortfall of $32m or 13% for Resido.
•Value uplift is expected from an expedited lease up
period, with residential market rental growth and

investment markets improve.

•Increase in property revenue of$10.7m arising
mainly from rental growth of $4.1m, tenancy
termination fees of $3.0m and growth in recovery
income of $2.8m.
•Increase in direct property expenses of $4.5m.
Adjusting for the increase in doubtful debts of
$0.7m and operating expenditure for Resido
Lynton of $0.9m, direct property expenses were
up $2.9m or 10.9%. This increase is mainly related
to rates, utilities and insurance, which are largely
recoverable.
•Employment and admin expenses lower by $3.1m
or 19.6% due to the realisation of people-related
cost saving initiatives in 1H25 ($1.6m).
•Fair value loss on interest rate derivatives reflect
the decrease in interest rates.
•Fair value gain on investment properties reflects
net rental growth.

1.2 Operating profit before income tax
29
•Increase in operating profit before
income tax reflects the growth in net
rental income, tenancy termination
fees and cost savings initiatives being
realised, offset partially by higher
direct property expenses.
•Interest costs reflected the high interest
rate environment until the easing cycle
began in August 2024.
•Weighted average interest rate at
September was 36 bps lower than
March 2024, at 5.25%.
•Lower interest on bonds at September
2024 is due to the higher amount of
bonds on issue in the September 2023
six -month period (following the issue of
KPG060 in March 2023).
•Reduction in capitalised interest at
Sylvia Park reflects the completion of
Resido, offset by continued spend at
Drury.

•Kiwi Property continues to focus on reducing the
ratio of employment and administration expenses
to net property income back to FY22 levels.
Through initiatives including headcount
optimisation and leveraging our resources to
manage third-party assets, the ratio has improved
by 2.2% to 15.2%.
•Employment and administration expenses
decreased by $3.3m due to the realisation of
people-related cost saving initiatives.
•Digital project costs relating to software
implementation costs incurred to March 2024 are
adjusted from total underlying expenses. The
project was completed in March 2024.

1:MER (management expense ratios) are alternative non-GAAP measures used by Kiwi Property to assist investors in assessing the company’s underlying operatingcosts. MER is a measure commonly used by real
estate entities. MER does not have a standard meaning prescribed by GAAP andtherefore may not be comparable to information presented by other entities. Kiwi Property determines MER through several
annualisedcalculations, where employment and administration plus direct property expenses are divided by property revenue, net property income or the weighted average value of propertyassets under
management. The information has been extracted from the company’s consolidated financial statements which have been the subject to a review pursuant to the External Reporting Board’s New Zealand Standard
on Review Engagement 2410 (Revised).
•Higher operating profit before
income tax has contributed to a slight
increase in FFO.
•AFFO remained flat at $48.4m,
despite higher interest costs and the
impact of the removal of tax
depreciation on commercial
buildings.

•Dividend payout ratio is 89%, close to
the target payout range of 90-100% of
AFFO.
•Higher imputation credits at
September 2024 is mainly due to higher
expected tax payments as a result of
the removal of tax depreciation of
structures for commercial buildings.

General note: Further information about S&P Global Ratings’ credit rating scale is available at standardandpoors.com. A rating is not a recommendation by any rating organisation to buy, sell or hold Kiwi
Property securities. The rating is current as at the date stated in this presentation and may be subject to suspension, revision or withdrawal at any time by S&P Global Ratings.
•The recent refinance of bank facilities
saw the term to maturity reduce from
3.6 years to 3.1 years, with Kiwi
Property taking advantage of lower
margins and line fees available on
shorter tenor facilities.
•The green bond issue currently being
considered would increase KPG’s
weighted average term to maturity to
3.6 years on a pro forma basis,
assuming a $125 million issue.
•The weighted average interest rate
has reduced from 5.61% to 5.25%.
•Gearing remains relatively consistent
with the prior period at 38.0% (+1.0%),
with valuations having now stabilised
and the operation of the DRP
retaining capital in the business.

•The ongoing cost-of-living crisis has
significantly impacted several sectors, with

•The decline in commercial services was
primarily driven by the travel sector, which is
