Key metrics

Repositioning the portfolio

Kiwi Property has continued to make significant

progress against its strategic priorities, including

strengthening the balance sheet. Business

performance was supported by a steadily improving

sales environment.

Capital recycling remained a major focus. The sale of

The Plaza in Palmerston North settled in December,

while the sale of ASB North Wharf was announced

earlier this year following the successful lease

extension in mid-2025, and is expected to settle early

in the new financial year.

Our convertible loan to Mackersy Property converted

to equity in December, with Kiwi Property now a 50%

owner of the investment management business. At

Drury, civil works are underway following the recent

conditional land sales executed with Costco, Harvey

Norman, and Briscoe Group. Fast‑track resource

consent approvals have also supported the

development of the area and further reinforced retailer

confidence in the precinct.

Reflecting the improved balance sheet position as a

result of our significant transaction activity, in

December S&P removed the ‘Negative’ outlook from

KPG’s credit rating, with the revised issuer rating now

BBB/Stable (and green bonds rated as BBB+).

Operational momentum was reinforced by the opening

of IKEA at Sylvia Park in early December, which

materially lifted pedestrian counts, particularly on level

one at Sylvia Park where customers can use the

pedestrian walkway to access the two sites.

In people changes, Shaun Reed was promoted to the

executive team in December as GM Capital

Transactions, with his immediate focus on investment

in growth opportunities. We will also bid farewell to our

CFO Steve Penney in March, with recruitment for his

replacement currently underway.

All portfolio metrics are as at 31 December 2025 and reflect Kiwi Property’s

direct asset ownership, except for annualised sales and pedestrian count

data, which also reflects the total performance of assets owned through

joint ventures. Portfolio metrics and pro forma gearing exclude ASB North

Wharf (which has been conditionally sold).

Kiwi Property is pleased to reconfirm dividend

guidance of 5.60 cents per share for the FY26 full year.

This is expected to be within our target payout range of

90% to 100% of year-end AFFO.

As we continue to deliver on our strategic priorities,

we remain focused on driving value for shareholders.

Thank you to all our investors for your continued

support of Kiwi Property.

Clive Mackenzie

Chief Executive Officer

Sales of The Plaza and ASB North Wharf
We are actively repositioning the portfolio to focus on well-located, high-

quality assets, which we believe offer stronger long-term growth prospects and

more resilient income streams as well as development optionality.

In line with this strategy, the sale of The Plaza shopping centre in Palmerston

North was announced in November 2025 and settled in December. The sale of

ASB North Wharf was announced in January and is expected to settle in the

first half of 2026 (pending OIO approval). These transactions release capital

from mature assets that are no longer part of our long-term strategy, with

some of the proceeds to be redeployed at our key assets.

We continue our disciplined approach to capital allocation: recycling capital

from mature investments, optimising returns from existing exposures, and

continuing to invest in assets to maximise long-term value for shareholders,

alongside the evaluation of potential acquisition opportunities.

Development update

We are making targeted investments to improve the market positioning of our assets:

Vero Centre refresh

We are progressing a comprehensive refresh of Vero Centre’s shared spaces

to enhance amenity, functionality and tenant experience. Public areas and

shared tenant amenities within the building are being refreshed, including:

Upgrades to the Shortland Street entry, involving the decommissioning of

the existing wheel sculpture and the installation of a major digital art

display (which we understand will be the largest of its kind in NZ).

Enhancements to the Fort Street entry to create additional space and a

more prominent statement entrance.

A refresh of the Level 6 lobby and cafe, including refurbishment and

lighting optimisation.

The addition of new end-of-trip facilities on Level 1, comprising upgraded

bathrooms, lockers and a cooling room.

The $14 million Vero refresh project is currently underway, with works

expected to be completed early in the last quarter of 2026.

Sylvia Park’s southern enhancement project

Development works are now underway at the southern end of Sylvia

Park with the construction of a new customer-friendly pedestrian

plaza and expansion of existing retail space. More than 85% of the

project leasing income is now committed. Kmart is set to extend its

footprint, adding 1,430 sqm of space to its existing site. Additional

revenue will also be generated through new and extended food and

beverage tenancies and short-stay retailers (such as food trucks)

located adjacent to the new pedestrian plaza. This development also

provides future benefits to Sylvia Park as a whole, as the addition of

the pedestrian plaza combined with other initiatives increases the

allowable development area on the main Sylvia Park site from 148,000

sqm gross floor area to 250,000 sqm gross floor area.

Retail operating update

IKEA’s initial impact at Sylvia Park

The opening of IKEA at Sylvia Park has provided a clear uplift in pedestrian traffic at the shopping centre,

demonstrating IKEA’s impact as a magnet for the wider precinct. Pedestrian counts increased by 8% in December

2025 and 13% in January 2026 versus the same months in the prior year. Entries into Sylvia Park’s Galleria (Level

One) via the new IKEA link totalled more than 117,000 in December and 75,000 in January. Galleria pedestrian

counts were up 28% in December and 38% in January compared with the same months a year prior, positively

impacting the whole of Level One. Sales at Sylvia Park were up 2.9% for December and January compared to the

same months in the prior year.

Portfolio sales and foot traffic trending up

Annual mixed-use sales were up +0.8% and pedestrian counts at the centres up 1.3% as of December. Positively,

mixed-use sales continued to improve with the last six months’ sales to December up 2.3% compared to the

prior six months, which were down 0.9%.

With Christmas sales shifting to earlier in the November/December period, Kiwi Property centres experienced a

strong November sales month due to an extended ‘Black Friday’ period. Mixed-use sales for the October to

December quarter across our portfolio were up by 2.0% compared to the same three months in the prior year.

Christmas charity fundraising

Kiwi Property helped to raise over $100,000 for our partner charities over the

Christmas period last year.

All money donated via customer gift wrapping booths at Sylvia Park, LynnMall,

The Base, Centre Place, and Northlands will provide much-needed support to

our partner charities: Mental Health Foundation NZ, Heart Kids NZ, Volunteering

Waikato, Canterbury Cancer Centre, and Papanui High School PTA.

Executive changes

Shaun Reed

As announced in December, Shaun Reed has been promoted to General

Manager Capital Transactions in the executive team. Shaun has been with

Kiwi Property since 2022, most recently serving as Head of Capital

Transactions, and previously as Investment Director. During this time, he has

led major initiatives, including the recent sales of The Plaza and ASB North

Wharf, as well as Kiwi Property’s investment in Mackersy Property.

With more than 20 years’ experience in real estate investment and funds

management, Shaun has previously worked at LaSalle Investment

Management in the UK, AMP Capital and CBRE, specialising in deal

execution and portfolio strategy.

In the GM Capital Transactions role, Shaun will be focused on driving

strategic capital initiatives, including portfolio transactions, joint ventures,

and partnerships that support Kiwi Property’s strategy. Elevating this role to

the executive team reflects its critical importance to the company’s growth

ambitions and signals opportunities for increased transactional activity.

Steve Penney

In December, we announced that Kiwi Property’s CFO, Steve Penney, will be

leaving the business. Steve has been the CFO since December 2022 and

has been instrumental in the business’s strategic and operational

transformation. Steve’s commitment to fostering a high-performance

culture has driven improvements across our business, and we wish him the

very best in his new role.

We are currently midway through the recruitment process and will

announce our new Kiwi Property CFO in due course.
