. In contrast REINZ’s

All Farm index has increased only +9.8% over the same period.

NZL’s out performance is the result of the Company’s ability to identify quality assets,

purchase them well and then partner with leading operators in each rural sub-sector.

Capital Allocation

Capital Allocation Considerations
NZL’s approach to allocating capital for the sale or purchase of properties is founded on

several key considerations;

Are there assets available that deliver significantly higher risk adjusted

returns?

2

Are there alternative uses for sale proceeds that are more accretive to

long-term shareholder value?

1

Does the sale/purchase contribute to portfolio risk mitigation by

introducing greater tenant, geographic and sub-sector diversity?

3

NZL’s core investment strategy is to be a long-term investor in rural land.

24

New Zealand Rural Land Company

Case Study of Sale or Purchase of Property
In October 2021 NZL acquired six dairy properties in

Maniototo, Central Otago.

NZL’s structural advantage was a key catalyst as

NZL’s presence in the market, access to capital

and tenants, and status as a domestic buyer

allowed the Company to complete the acquisition

of the properties at a very attractive price.

The quality of the acquisition is evidenced

by the fact that the property has achieved

revaluation gains of +30% since purchase.

NZL selected an experienced, well capitalised tenant

to operate the properties. Throughout their tenure they

have driven farm productivity increases whilst adhering

to NZL’s rigorous environmental and sustainability

standards.

25

New Zealand Rural Land Company

26
Tenants

NZL’s tenants are characterised by:
• their strong financial position, a >6.0x equity to lease is a requirement built into all our

leases;

• their status as industry leading operators; and

• their commitment to long-term land stewardship and sustainability.

By partnering with high-quality tenants NZL not only ensures a reliable stream of long-

term cash flows but also that the land is farmed productively and in a manner that

ultimately enhances its overall quality for future generations.

Tenant Quality

27

New Zealand Rural Land Company

Kiwi Crunch leases 97 hectares of premium orchards
in Hawke’s Bay from NZL.

Since partnering with NZL, Kiwi Crunch have

implemented significant operational improvements.

Advanced growing practices have included the

introduction of “Popstar” apples to which they hold

exclusive IP, and replacing older pears with the new,

higher yielding, Piqabo variety.

Kiwi Crunch are exceptional operators who are

deeply committed to maximising productivity and

land stewardship.

Kiwi Crunch proves that quality land paired with

experienced, commercial operators creates value

that extends well beyond the lease agreement.
