Stride Property Group Consolidated Interim Financial Statements for the six months ended 30 September 2024
1.0 General Information
This section sets out Stride Property Group’s accounting policies that relate to the unaudited consolidated interim financial statements
(financial statements) as a whole.
1.1 Reporting entity
The financial statements presented are those of Stride Property Limited and its subsidiaries, Fabric Property Limited (Fabric), Stride Holdings Limited, and
Stride Industrial Property Limited (SIPL) (together referred to as SPL), and Stride Investment Management Limited (SIML), each of SPL and SIML being a
“Stapled Entity”, and together the Stride Property Group (Stride). 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 Stride, SPL has been identified as the parent for the purposes of preparing the financial statements and consequently
SIML’s equity is presented as the non-controlling interest in the financial statements.
SPL is principally involved in the ownership of investment properties in New Zealand and SIML is principally involved in the management of real estate
investment entities in New Zealand. SPL and SIML are both domiciled in New Zealand, are both registered under the Companies Act 1993 and are both
FMC reporting entities under Part 7 of the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013.
Shares of SPL and SIML are stapled and quoted on the Main Board equity securities market of NZX under the ticker code SPG.
The financial statements were approved for issue by the Board of Directors of SPL (SPL Board) and the Board of Directors of SIML (SIML Board),
together the “Boards”, on 27 November 2024.
1.2 Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Practice in New Zealand (GAAP), New Zealand
International Accounting Standard 34 Interim Financial Reporting (NZ IAS 34) and International Accounting Standard 34 Interim Financial Reporting
(IAS 34). Stride is a for-profit entity for the purposes of financial reporting.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost basis except for assets and liabilities stated at fair value as disclosed. The financial
statements have been presented in New Zealand dollars and have been rounded to the nearest thousand, unless stated otherwise.
The financial statements do not contain all the disclosures normally included in an annual financial report and should be read in conjunction with the
audited 2024 annual consolidated financial statements.
1.3
New standards, amendments and interpretations
In May 2023, the New Zealand Accounting Standards Board released an amendment to NZ IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements (NZ IAS 1) that
is effective for the accounting period that begins on or after 1 January 2024. The amendment applies to the reporting and classification of liabilities
containing covenants. This amendment has been adopted, although it has not materially impacted Stride's financial statements.
In May 2024, the External Reporting Board 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 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. Stride has not early adopted this standard and is yet to assess its impacts.
At the date of authorisation of these financial statements, Stride has not applied any new or revised NZ IFRS standards and amendments that have been
issued but are not yet effective.
1.4
Significant judgements, estimates and assumptions
The accounting policies applied in these financial statements are the same as those applied in Stride's consolidated financial statements for the year
ended
31 March 2024.
In applying Stride's accounting policies, the Boards and Management regularly evaluate judgements, estimates and assumptions that may have an impact
on Stride Property Group. The significant judgements, estimates and assumptions made in the preparation of these financial statements were the same as
those applied in respect of the consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 March 2024.
Stride Property Group
Consolidated Interim Financial Statements for the six months ended 30 September 2024

1.0 General Information (continued)
1.5 Non-GAAP measures
The consolidated statement of comprehensive income includes two non-GAAP measures: Profit before net finance expense, other (expense)/income
and income tax; and Profit before other (expense)/income and income tax. These non-GAAP measures have been presented to assist investors in
understanding the different aspects of Stride's financial performance.
Note 4.2 sets out Stride's net tangible assets (NTA) per share which is a non-GAAP measure and is a common investment metric.
Note 4.4 sets out Stride's calculation of distributable profit and Adjusted Funds From Operations (AFFO) which are both non-GAAP measures.
Distributable profit is presented to provide an earnings measure which more closely aligns to Stride's underlying and recurring earnings from its
operations. AFFO is intended as a supplementary measure of operating performance. Cash spent during the period on capital expenditure as part of
maintaining a building's grade/quality, but not expensed as part of distributable profit after current income tax, is adjusted to reflect cash earnings for
the period.
These non-GAAP measures do not have a standard meaning prescribed by GAAP and therefore may not be comparable to information presented by
other entities.
1.6 Significant events and transactions
The financial position and performance of Stride was affected by the following events and transactions that occurred during the current period:
Change in participating interest of Industre
On 30 April 2024, J.P. Morgan Asset Management (JPMAM) contributed $20.0 million equity into the Industre joint arrangement (Industre) resulting in
SPL's participating interest reducing from 51.7% to 49.6%.
Revaluation of investment properties
SPL undertook independent valuations on some of the portfolio as at 30 September 2024. The overall net reduction in fair value of the total portfolio was
$(3.6)
million (30 Sep 23: $(55.3) million net reduction) (refer note 3.2).

Stride Property Group Consolidated Interim Financial Statements for the six months ended 30 September 2024
2.0 Operating Segments
This section sets out how Stride’s revenue streams are reported internally, reflecting the two operating segments, being SPL and SIML.
SPL’s revenue streams are earned from investment properties owned in Auckland and Wellington in New Zealand. Given SPL’s diverse client base, no
one tenant represents greater than 10% of the portfolio contract rental. SPL also generates income from its share of profit/(loss) in equity associates and
the joint venture being Investore Property Limited (Investore), Diversified NZ Property Trust (Diversified) and Industre joint venture (refer note 6.2).
SIML’s revenue streams are earned from the management of the real estate investments of Investore, Industre (refer note 6.1), Diversified and SPL. For
the revenue earned from Investore, Industre and Diversified, refer note 7.3 on related party disclosures.
The following is an analysis of Stride’s results, by reportable segments.

A revaluation movement of $0.2 million (30 Sep 23: $0.2 million) arising from the elimination of fees charged by SIML to SPL (refer note 2.0) has been
reflected in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.
The lease liability of $27.6 million (31 Mar 24: $27.6 million) is in respect of the ground lease at NorthWest Shopping Centre, Auckland.
Included in the 30 September 2024 balance of investment property at valuation is an implicit right-of-use asset of $9.1 million (31 Mar 24: $9.1 million)
in relation to a peppercorn ground lease at 55 Lady Elizabeth Lane, Wellington, with an associated immaterial lease liability.
SIML has an office located in the SPL owned office building at 34 Shortland Street, Auckland. The value attributable to this floor area has been
recognised as property, plant and equipment (refer note 7.6).

Valuation basis
All investment properties were valued by independent valuers as at 31 March 2024. The SPL Board has reviewed the fair value of the investment
properties as at 30 September 2024 on an asset by asset basis after considering recent comparable transactional evidence of market sales, leasing
activity and capital expenditure and is satisfied there has been no significant change to the overall carrying value, other than the following investment
properties, which were subject to an independent valuation due to capital expenditure works or leasing activity undertaken during the current period.

The above investment properties were valued using the same valuer (each being independent registered valuers who hold an annual practising certificate
with the Valuers Registration Board and are members of the New Zealand Institute of Valuers) as valued the respective property for the 31 March 2024
independent valuations.
With regards to these investment properties, the valuers took into account the following:
•overall occupancy (leased area as a proportion of the total net lettable area) average was 96.9% at balance date;
•average lease term (weighted average lease term) was 3.7 years at balance date; and
•discount rates ranged from 8.25% to 8.63%.
Works are required to improve the seismic performance of the office property at 55 Lady Elizabeth Lane, Wellington. The cost to complete stated in
the 30 September 2024 valuation was determined by Management using estimates of the ‘on cost‘ elements (design, consultant, legal and contingency
allowances) as well as relevant work costings for this property which were provided by a registered quantity surveyor and is the best available information
at the date of valuation. The final cost could be higher or lower and this could impact on the fair value of the property.
Capitalisation rates ranged from 7.00% to 7.63% for the investment properties valued.
3.3
Capital expenditure commitments contracted for
As at 30 September 2024, SPL has committed to the following capital expenditure works:
•$2.9 million (31 Mar 24: $1.5 million) for further building upgrades at 34 Shortland Street, Auckland;
•$6.0 million (31 Mar 24: $ nil) for building upgrades at 215 Lambton Quay, Wellington; and
•$0.5 million (31 Mar 24: $1.2 million) for various other capital expenditure works to be undertaken.
Stride has no other material capital expenditure commitments as at 30 September 2024.
Subsequent to balance date, SPL has committed to a further $1.5 million for capital expenditure works for 55 Lady Elizabeth Lane, Wellington,
$0.9 million for 215 Lambton Quay, Wellington, and $0.8 million for 34 Shortland Street, Auckland.

SPL’s bank borrowings are via syndicated senior secured facilities with ANZ Bank New Zealand Limited (ANZ), China Construction Bank Corporation
(New Zealand Branch), Industrial and Commercial Bank of China Limited, Auckland Branch, and Westpac New Zealand Limited. The bank security on
the facilities is managed through a security agent who holds a registered first mortgage on all the investment properties directly owned by SPL and a
registered first ranking security interest under a General Security Deed over substantially all the assets of SPL.
The carrying amount of the bank borrowings is considered a reasonable approximation of fair value.
In accordance with the Green Finance Framework (Framework) of Fabric, $350.0 million of the facilities are classified as green loan facilities. The
Framework has been developed to be consistent with the Asia Pacific Loan Market Association (APLMA) Green Loan Principles (2023) and International
Capital Market Association (ICMA) Green Bond Principles (2021 with June 2022 Appendix).
SIML does not have any bank borrowings (31 Mar 24: $ nil) however it does have a $3.0 million overdraft facility with ANZ, which has not been utilised
during the current period.

During the current period, SPL entered into the following forward-starting interest rate agreements:
•three year fixed agreements with a total notional value of $50.0 million and an effective date of 31 December 2025; and
•three year fixed agreement with a notional value of $25.0 million and an effective date of 31 January 2025.
SPL typically designates its interest rate derivatives as cash flow hedges of the interest flows on its variable rate borrowings. SPL enters into interest rate
derivatives that have similar critical terms as the hedged item, such as reference rate, reset dates, payment dates, maturities and notional amount.
The fair values of interest rate derivatives are determined from valuations prepared by independent treasury advisors using valuation techniques classified
as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy (31 Mar 24: Level 2). Judgement is involved in determining the fair value by the independent treasury advisors. The
fair values 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 as at balance date. Fair values also reflect the current creditworthiness of the derivative counterparties. The valuations were based on
market rates at 30 September 2024 of between 4.87%, for the 90-day BKBM, and 3.90%, for the 10-year swap rate (31 Mar 24: 5.64% and 4.37%
respectively). There were no changes to these valuation techniques during the reporting period. As at 30 September 2024, the fair value of the interest
rate derivatives includes an accrued interest asset of $0.3 million (31 Mar 24: $0.4 million asset).

6.0 Investments in Property Entities
This section sets out how the investments in property entities held by SPL are accounted for in Stride.
6.1 Industre
Industre is a joint arrangement between SPL and a group of international institutional investors through a special purpose vehicle advised by JPMAM.
As at
30 September 2024, SPL held a 49.6% interest in Industre (31 Mar 24: 51.7%). Over the long term, the strategy is for JPMAM to fund further
portfolio growth until the respective economic contributions to the portfolio are 75%/25% (JPMAM/SPL).
The accounting for the arrangement by SPL is a combination of a joint venture (equity-accounted) (refer note 6.2) and a joint operation (proportionate
share of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses) (refer note 6.3). SIML is the manager of the joint arrangement.

1Fair value, based on Investore's quoted closing share price on the NZX Main Board on the last business day for the six months ended 30 September 2024, was $81.7 million
(31 Mar 24: $81.7 million).
2These equity-accounted investments do not have quoted market prices as they are not listed.
As at 30 September 2024, all of the investment properties held by Diversified were valued by independent valuers, whilst the investment properties held
by the Industre joint venture were subject to desktop reviews. The majority of investment properties held by Investore were not subject to independent
valuations as at 30 September 2024 and have been held at their respective 31 March 2024 independent valuations. SPL’s share of the valuation
gains/(loss) are reflected in share of profit/(loss) in equity-accounted investments.
On 30 September 2024, the market value of the investment in Investore, based on the quoted closing market price of Investore's ordinary shares
of $1.16, was below the investment’s carrying amount under the equity method of accounting which is considered an impairment indicator. SPL
performed an impairment test using the fair value less costs of disposal (FVLCD) valuation approach (31 Mar 24: FVLCD).
The key inputs and assumptions in determining the recoverable amount of this investment through the FVLCD approach are a strategic investment
premium of 17.5% (as determined by a third party), the quoted market price at 30 September 2024 and brokerage costs of 0.2%. The determination
of the recoverable amount is considered to be Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. The result of the impairment test was that the investment's recoverable
amount was greater than the carrying amount as at 30 September 2024 but less than the recoverable amount as at 31 March 2022 (which included
impairment losses). As a result, SPL has not recognised a reversal of previous impairment losses.

SPL's share in the Industre joint venture reduced from 51.7% as at 31 March 2024 to 49.6% as at 30 September 2024. Consequently, the share of

The Industre joint operation holds the beneficial ownership of these investment properties. The agreement between SPL and JPMAM in relation to their
co-ownership requires unanimous consent from both parties for all relevant activities. The two parties have direct rights to the assets and are jointly and
severally liable for the liabilities incurred in relation to the co-owned investment properties. This arrangement is therefore classified as a joint operation
and SPL recognises its direct right to the jointly held assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses as described below.

The net profit has been calculated on the weighted average participating interest during the relevant period. SPL’s portion of the borrowings in the
Industre joint operation are with Industre Property Finance Limited (FinCo), which is part of the Industre joint venture. This loan is on the same terms as the
banking facility with FinCo, however is payable on demand if called on by FinCo.
During the current period, SPL and JPMAM approved the restructure of Industre (Restructure). The Restructure will result in the investment properties
held within the Industre joint operation being disposed of and sold to the Industre joint venture subsequent to the reporting date (refer note 7.8). As at
the reporting date, these assets were available for immediate sale in their present condition and the deemed sale through the Restructure was highly
probable. As a result of the Restructure, SPL has reclassified the investment properties associated with the Industre joint operation to assets held for
transfer to Industre joint venture and borrowings associated with the Industre joint operation have been reclassified as borrowings held for transfer to
Industre joint venture in the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 September 2024.

Stride Property Group Consolidated Interim Financial Statements for the six months ended 30 September 2024

7.7 Contingent liabilities
SPL’s wholly owned subsidiary, SIPL, is a guarantor under the Industre banking arrangements as SIPL is a beneficial owner of property owned through
the Industre joint venture (refer note 6.2). The total facility under the Industre banking arrangement is $355.0 million (31 Mar 24: $355.0 million) and as
at 30 September 2024, $266.4 million (31 Mar 24: $273.9 million) of bank debt had been drawn down.
Subsequent to balance date, following the Restructure of Industre, (refer note 7.8) SIPL will no longer be the guarantor under the Industre
banking arrangements.
Stride has no other contingent liabilities at balance date (31 Mar 24: $ nil).
7.8 Subsequent events
On 31 October 2024, Industre was restructured. This Restructure resulted in the investment properties held by the Industre joint operation being
transferred to the Industre joint venture entities, which are accounted for as a joint venture (equity-accounted) by SPL. As a result of this, SPL's portion of
the Industre joint operation will cease to exist in SPL's financial statements. Following the Restructure, the two parties, SPL and JPMAM, continue to have
unanimous consent for all relevant activities.
On 27 November 2024, SPL declared a cash dividend for the period 1 July 2024 to 30 September 2024 of 1.5625 cents per share, to be paid on
17 December 2024 to all shareholders on SPL’s register at the close of business on 5 December 2024. At 1.5625 cents per share, the total dividend
payment will be $8,734,983. This dividend will carry imputation credits of 0.498652 cents per share. This dividend has not been recognised in the
financial statements.
On 27 November 2024, SIML declared a cash dividend for the period 1 July 2024 to 30 September 2024 of 0.4375 cents per share, to be paid on
17 December 2024 to all shareholders on SIML’s register at the close of business on 5 December 2024. At 0.4375 cents per share, the total dividend
payment will be $2,445,795. This dividend will carry imputation credits of 0.170139 cents per share. This dividend has not been recognised in the
financial statements. SIML’s equity (non-controlling interest) consists largely of retained earnings and the declared dividend represents 11% of SIML’s
equity as at
30 September 2024.
On 27 November 2024, the Boards of SIML and SPL resolved that the dividend reinvestment plan will not operate for the dividends for the period
1 July 2024 to 30 September 2024.

Independent auditor's review report
To the shareholders of Stride Property Limited and Stride Investment Management Limited
Report on the consolidated interim financial statements
Our conclusion
We have reviewed the consolidated interim financial statements of Stride Property Group, which consists of Stride Property Limited and its controlled
entities (SPL) and Stride Investment Management Limited (SIML) (together Stride or the Group), which comprise the consolidated statement of financial
position as at 30 September 2024, and the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and
the consolidated statement of cash flows for the six months ended on that date, and notes, comprising material accounting policy information and other
explanatory information.
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying consolidated 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 then ended, in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34
Interim Financial Reporting (IAS 34) and New Zealand
Equivalent to International Accounting Standard 34 Interim Financial Reporting (NZ IAS 34).
Basis for conclusion
We conducted our review in accordance with the New Zealand Standard on Review Engagements 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 consolidated 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 ethical requirements. In addition to our role as auditor, our firm
carries out other services for the Group in the areas of tenancy marketing and operating expenditure audits for Stride. The provision of these services has
not impaired our independence.
Responsibilities of Directors for the consolidated interim financial statements
The Directors of SPL and SIML respectively are responsible, on behalf of Stride, for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated interim
financial statements in accordance with IAS 34 and NZ IAS 34 and for such internal control as the Directors determine is necessary to enable the
preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated interim financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor’s responsibilities for the review of the consolidated interim financial statements
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the consolidated 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 consolidated interim financial statements, taken as a whole, are
not prepared in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34 and NZ IAS 34.
A review of consolidated 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 and International Standards on Auditing (New Zealand) and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that
we might identify in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion on these consolidated interim financial statements.
Who we report to
This report is made solely to the shareholders of SPL and SIML, as a body. Our review work has been undertaken so that we might state those matters
which we are required to state to them in our 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 shareholders of SPL and SIML, as a body, for our review procedures, for this report, or for the conclusion we
have formed.
The engagement partner on the review resulting in this independent auditor’s review report is Samuel Shuttleworth.
