WINTON ANNOUNCES FY26 ANNUAL RESULTS
Winton (NZX: WIN / ASX: WTN) today announces its annual results for the twelve months ending 30
June 2026 (FY26).
Revenue for FY26 was $188.8 million, a 21.5% increase compared to FY25 revenue of $155.4 million.
Winton’s longstanding pre-sale strategy continued to serve the company well, with 430 units settling
during the year.
Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortisation (EBITDA) for FY26 was $45.6 million, an
increase of 114.1% compared to FY25’s EBITDA of $21.3 million. Net profit after tax (NPAT) was $22.7
million, reflecting a 119.6% increase from $10.3 million in FY25.
Steven Joyce, Chair of Winton, said: “In FY26, market conditions across New Zealand were decidedly
mixed, with the Auckland market remaining subdued while conditions in other regions proved more
resilient. The New Zealand economy looked set to improve early in this calendar year, but the war in
the Middle East provided a significant setback to the trading environment for Winton as it did for
many other companies. Against that backdrop, a higher volume of residential settlements and a full
year of trading across the Ayrburn venues, together with the opening of Bravo at Cracker Bay,
supported a significantly improved profit result for the year.”
Winton finished FY26 with a pre-sale book of $27.4 million as at 30 June 2026, a landbank yield of
c5,400 units and cash holdings of $38.8 million. Borrowings were $44.2 million as at 30 June 2026, a
decrease from $99.4 million reflecting the repayment to two debt facilities in FY26. The two
remaining facilities have no recourse to Winton at the group level.
Winton’s residential development business again underpinned the result. FY26 was a strong year for
Lakeside at Te Kauwhata, with all 240 lots at Stage 4 and all 77 lots within Stage 5A settling during
the year, concluding the land supply agreement with Kāinga Ora that has underpinned this phase of
development. At Northlake in Wānaka, land lots have settled across Stages 15, 17 and 18, and all
commercial units at Northlake have now settled. Winton has submitted a request to Queenstown
Lakes District Council for a private plan change to enable approximately 65 additional residential lots
within Stage 19, a meaningful extension of one of our most established communities.
FY26 was the first full year with all Ayrburn venues trading, following the opening of the Bakehouse
and Billy’s restaurants during FY25. The second Ayrburn Classic, held in February 2026, headlined the
precinct’s growing events programme. In February 2026, Winton opened Bravo at Cracker Bay, an
overwater restaurant located on Auckland’s Waitematā Harbour. The commercial floors above Bravo
have attracted quality tenants, drawn to its appealing position on the waterfront.
Northbrook Wānaka, our first retirement village, marked its first birthday on 14 May 2026,
completing its inaugural year of operation. The Wellness Spa opened on 4 February 2026, and
construction of Stage 2 began in January 2026. Stage 2 comprises the Welcome Building and a Care
Suite of 35 suites providing rest home, hospital-level and dementia care, with both on track to open
2
in 2027. During the year the village generated deferred management and weekly fees, with pre-sales
and occupancy continuing to build.
During the year Winton also introduced Goodfellows, a new lifestyle village at Lakeside, Te
Kauwhata, designed for those over 60. Goodfellows extends Winton’s established masterplanned
community model, making use of land the company already holds within its Lakeside community.
Offered under Occupation Right Agreements, the Goodfellows village is expected to build a base of
recurring deferred management and weekly fee income over time, complementing Winton’s
development earnings.
Positioned between Auckland and Hamilton, the village will comprise 210 standalone homes, with
Stage 1 delivering 72 homes alongside amenities including a heated pool and spa, gym and residents’
lounge. During the year the internal resident facilities within the existing commercial building were
completed, groundworks for the external facilities got underway, and construction began on four
display homes. A full sales campaign is planned for October 2026, with display units due for
completion in 2026 and the first residents expected to move in from 2027.
In March 2026, the Sunfield development in South Auckland reached an important milestone, when
it received a positive decision under the Fast-track Approvals Act 2024. In April 2026, Auckland
Council lodged an appeal against that decision in the High Court, and a hearing has been set for
September 2026. Sunfield remains one of Winton’s largest and most transformative projects,
planned to deliver significant housing supply to South Auckland, and we will continue to pursue the
approval with discipline.
In April 2026, the Ayrburn Screen Hub also received a positive decision under the Fast-track
Approvals Act 2024, with no appeal lodged within the statutory timeframe.
As previously advised to the market, Chris Meehan resigned as Chief Executive Officer and Chair of
Winton on 5 July 2026. Mr Meehan remains a Director of Winton and will consult to the company on
major development projects, as required.
The Board has confidence that the senior leadership team will continue to successfully deliver on
Winton’s plans and performance. Julian Cook, Executive Director of Retirement has assumed an
expanded role in an interim capacity to support the senior leadership team. The Board has
commenced a comprehensive process to appoint a permanent CEO and hopes to make an
announcement on progress with that appointment prior to the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting.
The Board continues to pause dividends to maintain financial discipline during the current softer
market conditions but is actively considering how and when it might resume dividends to
shareholders.
Steven Joyce concludes: “Winton is cautiously positive about an improvement in trading conditions in
the year ahead, but the level of economic uncertainty remains high. The company will remain
focused on converting its landbank into settlements, progressing its major projects at Sunfield and
the Ayrburn Screen Hub, and optimising its commercial and retirement offerings. The Board will
shortly review projects for investment and will update shareholders on any specific decisions made
as a result of that process.”
Winton’s Annual Report and all future reports will be publicly available on Winton’s website Investor

I
n FY26, market conditions across
New Zealand were decidedly mixed,
with the Auckland market remaining
subdued while conditions in other
regions proved more resilient. The New
Zealand economy looked set to improve
early in this calendar year, but the war
in the Middle East provided a significant
setback to the trading environment
for Winton as it did for many other
companies. Against that backdrop, a
higher volume of residential settlements
and a full year of trading across the
Ayrburn venues, together with the
opening of Bravo at Cracker Bay,
supported a significantly improved profit
result for the year, which is set out in the
Financial Commentary that follows.
Residential
Winton’s residential development
business again underpinned the result.
FY26 was a strong year for Lakeside
at Te Kauwhata, with all 240 lots at
Stage 4 and all 77 lots within Stage 5A
settling during the year, concluding the
land supply agreement with Kāinga
Ora that has underpinned this phase of
development. A single unit within the
commercial precinct, the Child Care
Centre, was also sold. The process
to vest approximately 60 hectares
of developed reserve land to the
community is underway. Once complete,
this reserve land will provide green open
space and parks that will be enjoyed for
years to come.
At Northlake in Wānaka, land lots have
settled across Stages 15, 17 and 18,
and all commercial units at Northlake
h
ave now settled. Winton has submitted
a request to Queenstown Lakes District
Council for a private plan change to
enable approximately 65 additional
residential lots within Stage 19, a
meaningful extension of one of our
most established communities.
O
ur Sunfield development in South
Auckland reached an important
milestone in March 2026, when it
received a positive decision under
the Fast-track Approvals Act 2024. In
April 2026, Auckland Council lodged
an appeal against that decision in the
High Court, and a hearing has been
set for September 2026. Sunfield
remains one of Winton’s largest and
most transformative projects, planned
to deliver significant housing supply to
South Auckland, and we will continue
to pursue the approval with discipline.
In April 2026, the Ayrburn Screen
Hub also received a positive decision
under the Fast-track Approvals Act
2024, with no appeal lodged within the
statutory timeframe.
Commercial
FY26 was the first full year with all
Ayrburn venues trading, following the
opening of the Bakehouse and Billy’s
restaurants during FY25. The second
Ayrburn Classic, held in February
2026, headlined the precinct’s growing
events programme. In February 2026,
Winton opened Bravo at Cracker Bay,
an overwater restaurant located on
Auckland’s Waitematā Harbour. The
commercial floors above Bravo have
attracted quality tenants, drawn to its
appealing position on the waterfront.

W
inton delivered revenue of
$188.8 million in FY26, up
21.5% from $155.4 million in
FY25. A total of 430 units were settled,
an increase of 164 units, generating
development revenue of $147.8 million
at an average of $343,735 per unit.
The increase was led by additional
settlements at Lakeside and Northlake.
Cost of goods sold of $103.1 million was
higher than FY25, reflecting the higher
volume of settlements and additional
hospitality trading, however the
development gross margin improved to
37.1% from 31.2% as a higher proportion
of Lakeside land lots settled at above-
average margins. Group gross profit was
$85.7 million, at a margin of 45.4%.
Commercial revenue increased with a
full year of trading across the Ayrburn
venues and the opening of Bravo at
Cracker Bay in February 2026. Hospitality
revenue was $35.8 million, up $14.7
million on FY25. A net fair value gain of
$2.3 million resulted from the revaluation
of investment properties, compared with
a $5.1 million gain in FY25.
Employee benefits expense increased
by $2.4 million, reflecting the additional
headcount. There are now more than
300 employees across Ayrburn and
Bravo. Administrative expenses reduced
by $2.8 million, largely due to lower
legal costs. EBITDA was $45.6 million,
up from $21.3 million, and net profit
after tax was $22.7 million, up from
$10.3 million in FY25.
T
otal equity increased to $555.4 million,
from $531.2 million at 30 June 2025.
Inventories reduced by $53.4 million as
settlements were realised, partly offset
by land and development expenditure
at Sunfield and Northlake. During
the year the Lakeside and Northlake
development debt facilities were repaid.
The Sunfield debt facility, which had a
balance of $25.7 million at 30 June 2026,
was extended to August 2027, and the
Cracker Bay debt facility, with a balance
of approximately $18.2 million, was
extended to November 2027.
Winton enters FY27 with $38.8 million
in cash reserves.

esidential development
encompasses Winton’s traditional
land and property development
business. Revenue for FY26 from
residential development was $148.1
million, delivering $41.8 million EBITDA.
This is largely attributable to the 430
units that settled during the period.
In FY25, 266 units were settled,
p
roducing $130.3 million in revenue
and $21.9 million in EBITDA.
T
he Northlake development in Wānaka
continues to perform as one of Winton’s
most established and sought-after
communities. During FY26, 102 units
settled across Stages 15, 17 and 18.
Looking ahead, Winton has submitted
a request to the Queenstown Lakes
District Council for a private plan change
to enable approximately 65 additional
residential lots within the Northlake
urban growth boundary at Stage 19. This
would represent a meaningful extension
of the community and an opportunity
to grow the landbank yield at one of
Winton’s most proven locations.
FY26 was a landmark year for Lakeside
at Te Kauwhata, with 317 units settling
across Stage 4 and Stage 5A, concluding
the land supply agreement with Kāinga
Ora that has underpinned this phase of
development. A single unit, the Child
Care Centre within the commercial
precinct, was also sold. In parallel,
the process to vest approximately
60 hectares of reserve land to the
community has commenced, a
significant milestone in delivering on
the long-term vision for Lakeside.

Sunfield represents one of Winton’s

completing its inaugural
year of operation with
occupancy continuing
to build and the
community establishing
itself as a distinctive
offering in the Wānaka
retirement market.
S
tage 1 was completed in May 2025.
New residents have continued to
move in steadily over the year,
and the community has taken shape as
a functioning, connected village. Sales
of the remaining available residences are
progressing at a consistent pace, with
entry prices continuing to track in line
with expectations.
The Wellness Spa officially opened on
4 February 2026, adding a significant
amenity to the village. The facility was
opened by Queenstown Lakes District
Mayor John Glover. The Wellness Spa
includes a heated indoor swimming
pool, spa pool, sauna, fully equipped
gym, yoga and pilates studio, hair
salon, and a private consultation room
for physiotherapy and allied health
services. Since opening, it has become
a focal point for daily activity and social
connection within the community.
Construction of Stage 2 commenced
in January 2026 and is being carried
out by Southbase Construction, who
also completed the Wellness Spa. This
stage comprises the Welcome and
Care Building. The Welcome Building
will incorporate a café, restaurant
and community amenities. The Care
Building will deliver 35 purpose-built
suites providing rest home, hospital-
level and dementia care, extending
Northbrook Wānaka’s capacity to
support residents across the full range
of later-life needs. Both buildings remain
on track to open in 2027.
Heading into FY27, Northbrook Wānaka
will continue to build on the momentum
of its first year. The focus will be on
welcoming more residents, preparing
for the opening of The Welcome and
Care Building, and continuing to deliver
on the core commitment: ensuring
residents live the life they love.

Y26 marked the first full year
with all Ayrburn venues trading.
Hospitality revenue for FY26
was $35.8 million, reflecting growth of
the Ayrburn precinct with all venues
operational for the full year of FY26.
In 2026, two of Ayrburn venues — Billy’s
and The Woolshed — were named in the
Michelin Selected category, recognising
the most exceptional restaurants in New
Zealand. This is a significant achievement
for the team.
The second Ayrburn Classic was held in
February 2026, building on the success
of the inaugural event, which was a
finalist in The International Historic
Motoring Awards 2025 for Breakthrough
Event of the Year. The 2026 event
was larger in scale, including a Tour
d’Elegance parade of 40 supercars and
classics and a live car auction, resulting
in 9,000 visitors.
Wine production and volumes at
Ayrburn remain steady, with harvest
and production continuing from
Ayrburn’s own heritage vines. The
Ayrburn Homestead and Ten Acre Pinot
Noirs continue to attract recognition,
most recently receiving 5-star ratings
from Cuisine Magazine for the 2024
vintage. Demand for the Chardonnays
has exceeded supply, with production
sustaining in-venue demand only.
In April 2026, the Ayrburn Screen Hub
received a positive decision under the
Fast-track Approvals Act 2024.
The Ayrburn Screen Hub will be an all-
inclusive film studio enabling users to
work and stay on site through filming,
production and post-production. The
facility will comprise studio buildings,
workrooms, office space for film
departments, dressing rooms, a screening
room and meeting space, alongside
201 units of accommodation for film
w
orkers and visitor accommodation
between productions.
The development of the Ayrburn Screen
Hub will deliver meaningful employment
and economic growth for the region,
strengthen New Zealand’s film and
television infrastructure, and provide
further improvements to water quality
across the wider Ayrburn site. The Screen
Hub will generate revenue from its
operations and incremental growth for
the broader hospitality precinct.

1. General Information (Continued)
Business combinations
The Group accounts for business combinations using the acquisition method when control is transferred to the Group.
The consideration transferred in the acquisition is generally measured at fair value, as are the identifiable net assets acquired.

New accounting standards and interpretations issued but not yet effective

accounting period that begins on or after 1 January 2027. This standard has not been early adopted in preparing these financial
statements. This standard introduces new requirements on presentation within the income statement (including specified totals
and subtotals) and additional note disclosures. The impact of this standard is being assessed by the Group.
2. Segment Reporting

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 Board of Directors. The Group has established the following

Other revenue 4,678 4,119
Total revenue 188,841 155,447
Sales revenue represents amounts derived from land and property sales. Land and property sales are recognised when the
customer obtains control of the property and is able to direct and obtain the benefits from the property. The customer gains
control of the property when the Group receives full and final consideration for the property and the Group transfers over the
record of title.
Deferred management fees are considered lease income and are payable by residents of the Group’s units under the terms of
their Occupational Right Agreement (ORA). Management fees are typically payable on termination of the ORA up to a maximum
percentage of a resident’s occupation licence for the right to share in the use and enjoyment of common facilities.

3. Revenue (Continued)
Hospitality revenue is derived through the sale of food and beverages and by hosting events. This revenue is recognised at a
point in time, being the point of sale. For significant events, the Group receives deposits in advance to secure the booking. These
deposits are deferred on the balance sheet as a liability and are recognised as revenue at a point in time, being the date of the
event. The Group has determined that there is a single performance obligation for these transactions even though part-payment
may be received in advance.
Other revenue includes village service fees and other income.
Village service fees are charged to residents to recover a portion of village operating costs associated with services provided
including staff wages, rates, and electricity. An ORA is in place with all village residents who receive the benefit of services
throughout their stay. Village service fees are recognised over time as services are rendered.
Key estimates and assumptions
The timing of the recognition of deferred management fees is a critical accounting estimate and judgement. The deferred management
fee is recognised on a straight line basis over the average expected occupancy. Estimates of deferred management fee tenure are
reviewed periodically. Where a change is made, it is the Group’s policy to treat the change prospectively so as to recognise remaining
lease payments over the reassessed tenure. Where the deferred management fees over the contractual period exceed the amortisation
of the deferred management fee based on estimated tenure, the amount is recorded as a liability (revenue in advance).

Expected to settle greater than one year 156,021 179,328
Total inventories 172,254 225,696
Recognition and Measurement
Inventories are carried at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost includes the cost of acquisition, development and interest. All
holding costs are expensed through profit or loss in the year incurred, with the exception of interest which are capitalised during the
period when active development is taking place. During the year ended 30 June 2026, interest has been capitalised to inventories of
$8,647,000 (2025: $4,077,000). Interest and other holding costs incurred after completion of development are expensed as incurred.
Inventories include deposits paid on contracts for development land of $nil (2025: $14,400,000).
The carrying amounts of inventories are reviewed at each balance date to ensure its carrying amount is recorded at the lower of its
cost and net realisable value. The net realisable value of inventories is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business
less the estimated costs of completion and costs necessary to make the sale. The determination of net realisable value of inventories
involves estimates taking into consideration prevailing market conditions, current prices and expected date of commencement and
completion of the projects, the estimated future selling price, cost to complete projects and selling costs. The amount of any write-
down of inventories is recognised as an expense in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income to the extent that the
carrying value of inventories exceeds its estimated net realisable value.
Key estimates and assumptions
The net realisable values of inventories have been assessed by management who have prepared internal valuations. The total value is
in excess of the carrying value, therefore there is no indication of net realisable value write downs.
The basis of the valuation is the hypothetical subdivision approach and/or block land sales comparisons to derive the residual block
land values. The major unobservable inputs that are used in the valuation model that require judgement include the individual section
prices, allowances for profit and risk, projected completion and sell down periods and interest rates during the holding period. The
estimated net realisable value would increase or (decrease) if: the individual section prices were higher/(lower); the allowances for
profit were higher/(lower); the allowances for risk were lower/(higher); the projected completion and sell down periods were shorter/
(longer); and the interest rate during the holding period was lower/(higher).

Recognition and measurement
Investment properties are held to earn current and future rental income (including deferred management fees) but not for sale in
the ordinary course of business, use in the production or supply of goods and services, or for administrative purposes. Investment
properties consist of land under development for retirement villages and commercial property. Initial recognition of investment
properties is at cost and it is subsequently measured 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. The cost of investment properties includes directly attributable
construction costs and other costs necessary to bring the investment properties to working condition for their intended use. These
other costs include professional fees, consents and head office costs directly related to the construction of the investment properties.
Where costs are apportioned across more than one asset, the apportionment methodology is determined by considering the nature
of the cost. Land acquired with the intention of constructing an investment property is classified as investment property from the
date of acquisition. During the year ended 30 June 2026, interest has been capitalised to investment properties of $1,497,000
(2025: $3,047,000). During the year ended 30 June 2026, $nil of share-based payment expense has been capitalised to investment
properties (2025: $204,000). Investment Properties include a right-of-use asset of $26,154,000 (2025: $22,046,000).

5. Investment properties (Continued)
Key estimates and assumptions
The Board determined that independent valuations of the investment property portfolio where the fair value can be reliably
measured should be undertaken at 30 June 2026 in order to ensure that investment properties are held at fair value. The Board
determined that full valuations were appropriate for Northbrook Wānaka Stage 1, Wellness Building and land, Northbrook Wynyard
land, Northbrook Avon Loop land, Northbrook Launch Bay land, Lakeside Commercial, Goodfellows Te Kauwhata and Cracker Bay
and these were performed by Jones Lang LaSalle, Seagars and Bayleys. As part of the valuation process, the Group’s management
verifies all major inputs to the independent valuation reports, assesses movements in individual property values and holds
discussions with the independent valuer.
The fair value was determined using Level 3 valuation techniques via a combination of the following approaches:
•
Sales comparison: the key assumptions being land value per square metre.
• Direct capitalisation: the property rental is divided by a market derived capitalisation rate to assess the market value of the
asset. Further adjustments are then made to the market value to reflect under or over renting, additional revenue and required
capital e
xpenditure.
Below are the significant inputs used in the valuations, together with the impact on the fair value of a change in the inputs:

1. The valuers assessment of land value which a property is expected to achieve under a new arm’s length sale transaction reflecting
transactional evidence from similar properties.
2. The capitalisation rate applied to the market rental to assess a property’s value, determined through analysis of similar
transactions taking into account location, weighted average lease term, tenant covenant, size and quality of the property.
3. The valuers assessment of the net market income which a property is expected to achieve under a new arm’s length leasing
transaction. Includes both leased and vacant areas.
The estimated sensitivity of the fair value of investment property to changes in the land value (under the sales comparison
approach), the market rent (under the direct capitalisation valuation approach) and the market capitalisation rate (under the direct
capitalisation valuation approach) is set out in the table below:

Included within investment properties under development is an investment property that cannot be reliably measured at balance date
due to the lack of comparable sales evidence and the current stage of the development plan. Management have considered external
valuation advice in recognising this investment property at cost. All other investment properties under development are related to
improvements to investment properties, as per Board approved development plans, which are not substantially progressed and cost is
considered to approximate the fair value. Properties under development are carried at cost less any impairment. When these assets
are substantially progressed, external valuations will be obtained to support the fair value of properties under development.

resident’s loan in full. These loans are non-interest bearing and are payable when both an occupation right agreement is terminated
and there has been settlement of a new occupation right agreement for the same unit and the proceeds from the new settlement
have been received by the Group. Residents’ loans are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised
cost. The management fee receivable is recognised in accordance with the terms of the resident’s occupation right agreement.

Recognition and measurement
Tax is accounted for on a consolidated Group basis and the Group is required to pay tax to the Inland Revenue as required by the
Income Tax Act 2007. Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Current tax is recognised in the Profit or Loss for
the year. Deferred tax relating to items recognised outside Profit or Loss is recognised outside Profit or Loss. Deferred tax items are
recognised in correlation to the underlying transaction either in Other Comprehensive Income or directly 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. Deferred tax is provided for temporary differences
between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax liabilities and assets, and they
relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity, or on different entities, but they intend to settle
current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis. 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.
Additional income tax arising from distribution of dividends is recognised at the same time as the liability to pay the dividend is recognised.

Contracts Act of $927,000 (2025: $1,841,000).
Recognition and measurement
Accounts receivable are recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.
Receivables are assessed on an ongoing basis for impairment. The Group recognises a provision for impairment on receivables based
on the lifetime expected credit loss at balance date. Those which are anticipated to be uncollectable are written off. The Group applies
the simplified approach to providing for expected credit losses prescribed by NZ IFRS 9 ‘Financial Instruments’, which permits the use
of lifetime expected loss provision for all trade receivables.

Amortisation (567) (567)
Total intangible assets 957 1,468
Recognition and measurement
Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. The cost of intangible assets acquired in a business
combination is their fair value at the date of acquisition. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less any
accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortised using the straight line
method over the useful economic life and assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be
impaired. Intangible assets consist of customer contracts of $656,000 as at 30 June (2025: $1,222,000). The useful lives as at 30 June
2026 for the customer contracts acquired was between two and five years with no residual value (2025: two and five years with no
residual value).
Key estimates and assumptions
Assessing the carrying value of intangible assets requires management to estimate future cash flows to be generated by the customer
contracts. The key assumptions used in the future cashflows include the expected life of the customer contract, expenses in relation to
the contract, the average life of the contract and the appropriate discount rate to apply.

10.8. Lease liabilities (Continued)
Lease liabilities relate to the ground lease and water space licence at Cracker Bay and the head office lease at Viaduct Harbour in
Auckland. The ground lease and water space licence at Cracker Bay was remeasured in June 2026 due to a market rent review.
Recognition and measurement
Right of use assets are measured at cost comprising the amount of the initial lease liability, any payments made before the
commencement of the lease, direct costs and any restoration costs. Right of use assets are disclosed within the same line item as that
within which the corresponding underlying assets would be presented if they were owned. Some right of use assets meet the definition of
investment properties. Refer note 5 for policies and disclosure on investment properties.
Lease liabilities are measured at the net present value of the lease payments. These payments include fixed lease payments, amount
expected to be payable under residual value guarantees, variable lease payments that are based on an index or rate, the exercise price
of a purchase option if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise that option, and payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the
lease term reflects the lessee exercising that option.
These lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease. If that rate cannot be determined, the lessee’s
incremental borrowing rate is used, being the rate that the lessee would have to pay to borrow the funds necessary to obtain an asset of
similar value in a similar economic environment with similar terms and conditions.
Subsequent to initial measurement, each lease payment is allocated between the principal and finance cost. The finance cost is charged
to the statement of comprehensive income over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining
balance of the liability for each period.
10.9. Financial instruments
The following financial assets and liabilities, that potentially subject the Group to financial risk, have been recognised at amortised
cost in the financial statements:

10.10. Financial risk management
The Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: interest rate risk, credit risk, and liquidity risk. The Group’s overall

(a) Interest rate risk
The Group’s exposure to the risk of changes in interest rates relates primarily to the Group’s borrowings with a floating interest rate.
The following sensitivity analysis shows the effect on profit before tax and equity if interest rates at balance date had been
50 basis points (0.50%) higher or lower with all other variables held constant.

(b) Credit risk
Credit risk represents the risk that the counterparty to a financial instrument will fail to discharge its obligations and the Group
will suffer financial loss as a result. Financial instruments which potentially subject the Group to credit risk consist of cash at bank,
accounts receivable and other receivables.
With respect to the credit risk arising from cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash, there is limited credit risk as cash is
deposited with Bank of New Zealand Limited, a registered bank in New Zealand with a credit rating of AA– (Standard & Poor’s).
The Group considers both historical analysis and forward looking information in determining any expected credit loss, and infers
from this strong credit rating that no loss allowance is deemed necessary.
With respect to the credit risk arising from accounts receivable, the Group only enters into arrangements over its inventories with
parties whom the Group assesses to be creditworthy. Credit risk does not arise on property sale proceeds to be settled as title will
not transfer until settlement.
The carrying amount of financial assets as per note 10.9 approximates the Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk.
(c) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will experience difficulty in either realising assets or otherwise raising sufficient funds to
meet its obligations arising from its financial liabilities. The Group manages liquidity risk by continuously monitoring forecast and
actual cash flows and matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities.
The table below analyses the Group financial liabilities (principal and interest) by the relevant contracted maturity groupings
based on the remaining period as at 30 June.

The Group’s policy is to maintain a strong capital base so as to maintain investor and creditor confidence and to sustain future
development of the business. The Group’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Group’s ability to continue as
a going concern whilst maximising the return to shareholders through maintaining an optimal balance of debt (when any) and
equity. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders,
return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt.

The weighted-average exercise price of all share options is $3.8870. The weighted-average remaining contractual life for the share
options outstanding as at 30 June 2026 was 4.0 years (2025: 4.9 years).
The fair value of the share options has been measured using the Black-Scholes formula. The requirement that the employee has
to save in order to purchase shares under the share option scheme has been incorporated into that fair value at grant date by
applying a discount to the valuation obtained. The inputs used in measurement of the fair values at grant date of the share options
were as follows.

ANNUAL REPORT 202648 | WINTON LAND LIMITED
10. Other (Continued)
10.12. Share-based payments (Continued)
Recognition and measurement
The cost of equity-settled transactions is determined by the fair value at the date when the grant is made using an appropriate
valuation model.
The cost is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income, together with a corresponding increase in equity (share-based
payment reserve), over the period in which service is fulfilled (the vesting period). The cumulative expense recognised for equity-settled
transactions at each reporting date until the vesting date reflects the extent to which the vesting period has expired, and the Group’s
best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest. The expense or credit in the statement of comprehensive
income for a period represents the movement in cumulative expense recognised as at the beginning and end of the period.
Service is not taken into account when determining the grant date fair value of awards, but the likelihood of the condition being met
is assessed as part of the Group’s best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest. Market performance
conditions are reflected within the grant date fair value.
No expense is recognised for awards that do not ultimately vest because service conditions have not been met. When the terms of an
equity-settled award are modified, the minimum expense recognised is the grant date fair value of the unmodified award, provided
that the original terms of the award are met. An additional expense, measured as at the date of modification, is recognised for any
modification that increases the total fair value of the share-based payment transaction, or is otherwise beneficial to the employee.
Where an award is cancelled by the entity or by the counterparty, any remaining element of the fair value of the award is expensed
immediately through profit or loss.

The Group’s inventories comprise land and buildings that are
or will be developed into subdivisions or individual
properties for sale.
The Group’s investment properties comprise retirement
villages, commercial property and development land.
Property under development relates to land being developed
into accommodation and media premises that will be
operated by the Group.
Given the nature of the Group’s operations, it incurs
significant costs each year in acquiring and developing its
property assets.
Determining whether to capitalise or expense property costs
relating to inventories, investment properties and property
under development is subjective. The key judgments used in
this determination are:
§ Whether costs are eligible for capitalisation under the
relevant accounting standard (noting that there are
differing requirements related to differing asset types);
and
§ How to allocate capitalised costs to individual properties.
Where investment properties are considered to be able to be
reliably valued, valuations are carried out by a third-party
valuer (the Valuer). The valuation of investment properties is
inherently subjective given that there are alternative
assumptions and valuation methods that may result in a
range of values.
Inventory is recorded at the lower of cost and net realisable
value (“NRV”). The assessment of NRV requires estimates of
both the future selling prices of inventory and the cost to be
incurred prior to its sale.
Disclosures relating to inventories, investment properties
and property under development and the associated
significant judgments are included in Note 4 Inventories,
Note 5 Investment Property and Note 6 Property, Plant and
Equipment to the consolidated financial statements.

COMPANY INFORMATION
Winton is a limited liability company incorporated under the Companies Act 1993 (the Companies Act). The Company listed on the
NZX Main Board (NZX code: WIN) and the ASX (Foreign Exempt Listing) (ASX code: WTN) in December 2021. The Board currently
comprises eight directors (including one alternate director).
A copy of the Company’s constitution and more detailed information on the Board and Winton’s senior management team are
available on Winton’s Website.
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
The NZX Code – Key Principles section below lists the principles in the NZX Corporate Governance Code dated 31 March 2026
(NZX Code) and discloses the extent to which Winton has followed the recommendations in the NZX Code.
In the Board’s opinion, as at 30 June 2026, the Company complies with the NZX Listing Rules and the NZX Code, other than
Recommendations 2.5, 2.8, 2.9, 2.10, 3.3, 3.4 and 3.6 as explained below.
The Code of Ethics, policies and charters referenced in the NZX Code – Key Principles section below, together with other policies
and charters (the Company Policies), are available on Winton’s Website and are available to all directors, employees, and
contractors at Winton. Copies of, and training on, the Company Policies are provided to all directors and employees as part of their
induction process, and updates and refresher discussions are scheduled regularly.
NZX CODE – KEY PRINCIPLES
Principle 1 – Ethical Standards
“Directors should set high standards of ethical behaviour, model this behaviour and hold management accountable for these standards
being followed throughout the organisation.”
Winton maintains high standards of ethical conduct and requires its people to behave honestly and with integrity, in a manner
consistent with Winton’s values and the Company Policies. These include the following:
CODE OF ETHICS
The Code of Ethics has been communicated to all of the Company’s directors, employees and
contractors and they are all subject to its standards and procedures. Training in respect of the
Code of Ethics is provided at least once every three years. The Code of Ethics is not an exhaustive
list of acceptable and non-acceptable behaviour at Winton, rather it contains guiding principles
and reflects Winton’s values as a company.
The reporting of breaches of the Code of Ethics is encouraged and the steps for doing so are set
out in Winton’s Risk Management and Whistleblowing Policy. Any breaches are required to be
addressed promptly and consistently and handled by Winton as set out in the Code of Ethics.
The Code of Ethics is reviewed at least every two years, with the last review conducted in August
2024. The next review will be conducted in August 2026.
SECURITIES TRADING POLICY
The Securities Trading Policy sets out the guidelines to, and express restrictions on, trading in
Winton’s financial products.
The Securities Trading Policy provides transparency about expectations and requirements of
directors, employees and contractors when dealing with Winton shares and places additional
restrictions on certain “restricted persons” and prohibitions during prescribed blackout periods.
Prior written consent of the General Manager, Corporate Services is required to trade, and persons
must otherwise act in compliance with laws.
In the case of a request by the General Manager, Corporate Services or the CFO, prior written
consent of the CEO is required. Winton’s directors must seek consent from the Chair of the Audit
and Financial Risk Committee and the Chair of the Audit and Financial Risk Committee must seek
consent from the Chair of the Board in advance of trading.
The Securities Trading Policy is reviewed at least every two years, with the last review being
conducted in August 2024. The next review will be conducted in August 2026.
DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION POLICY
The Diversity and Inclusion Policy sets out the Company’s guiding principles for diversity and
inclusion in the business. Refer to Principle 2 below for further details.
Corporate Governance
ANNUAL REPORT 202656 | WINTON LAND LIMITED
RISK MANAGEMENT AND
WHISTLEBLOWING POLICY
The Risk Management and Whistleblowing Policy sets out the commitment of the Company to
the sound and effective management of risks that are material to the achievement of its strategic
objectives. This policy is also intended to encourage directors, employees and contractors to speak
out if they see any behaviour that does not fit with the Company’s values of integrity and honesty.
The Risk Management and Whistleblowing Policy is reviewed at least every two years, with the last
review conducted in August 2024. The next review will be conducted in August 2026.
ENVIRONMENT AND CORPORATE
RESPONSIBILITY POLICY
The Environment and Corporate Responsibility Policy is a policy designed to ensure that the
actions of the Company support the vision to create long-term value for Winton and others.
The Environment and Corporate Responsibility Policy is reviewed at least every two years, with the
last review conducted in August 2024. The next review will be conducted in August 2026.
Principle 2 – Board Composition and Performance
“To ensure an effective board, there should be a balance of independence, skills, knowledge, experience and perspectives.”
Role of the Board
The Board is elected by its shareholders to provide overall strategic direction to the Company and to protect and enhance the value
of the assets of Winton for the benefit of its shareholders. The Board is responsible for the management of the business and affairs of
Winton and delegates the day-to-day leadership and management of the business to the CEO.
The Board operates under a written Board Charter, which sets out the role, responsibilities, composition, structure, and approach of
the Board and management. The Board acknowledges that Recommendation 2.9 of the NZX Code sets out that the Board should
have an independent Chair, and Recommendation 2.10 of the NZX Code also sets out that the Chair and the CEO should be different
people. During the reporting period, Chris Meehan was both the CEO and the Board Chair. Winton remained confident that this was
the appropriate structure during the reporting period to take advantage of Chris Meehan’s expertise and significant background with
the Company as one of its founders. Subsequent to the Company’s balance date, Steven Joyce was appointed as the Board Chair on 6
July 2026 and accordingly, Winton currently expects to be in compliance with Recommendations 2.9 and 2.10 of the NZX Code for the
next reporting period.
Delegation of Authority
In addition to the CEO’s day-to-day leadership and management of the business, the CEO and the senior management team have
levels of authority approved by the Board. In turn, the CEO and the senior management team can sub-delegate authority to direct
reports in appropriate circumstances. This structure is documented in the Delegated Authority Policy.
Directors and Board Composition
As at 30 June 2026, the Board comprises eight directors, as follows:

Corporate Governance
ANNUAL REPORT 202658 | WINTON LAND LIMITED
Director Training
At the time of appointment, directors receive a comprehensive induction from the business to familiarise themselves with Winton’s
management and operations. New directors are appropriately introduced to Winton’s management and business and receive all
papers and documents (including Company Policies) to enable them to provide value in their role on the Board. Regular site visits are
provided for directors, both new and existing.
Directors of the Board are expected to maintain appropriate levels of financial, legal and industry understanding, and are encouraged
to take responsibility for their own professional development. Each director is also aware that they should seek independent advice in
respect of their role as a director, should the need arise.
Board Performance
The Board has committed to critically evaluate its own performance and the performance of individual directors on a regular basis.
The Nomination and Remuneration Committee is tasked with making recommendations to the Board to ensure that adequate
procedures are in place to review the performance of the Board as a whole, its committees and the contributions of each director.
Independence
The Board currently comprises eight director positions, including one alternate director. For the purposes of the NZX Listing Rules,
the Board has determined that, as at 30 June 2026, three directors are independent directors, being Guy Fergusson, Steven Joyce
and Glen Tupuhi.
In determining independence of directors, the Board considers not only the factors expressly set out in Recommendation 2.4 of the
NZX Code, but also carefully assesses whether a director’s interest, position, association or relationship might interfere, or be seen to
interfere, with that director’s capacity to bring an independent judgment to bear on issues before the Board. The Board was satisfied
during the reporting period that none of the Code Factors in Table 2.4 of the NZX Corporate Governance Code applied to any director
determined by the Board to be independent. The Board does not have regard to any conflict management arrangements when
determining whether a director is independent. The Board assesses the independence of each director on their appointment, and
will continue to do so at least annually thereafter. The Board acknowledges that Recommendation 2.8 of the NZX Code sets out that
the Board should be comprised of a majority of independent directors. A high proportion of directors appointed to date represent
existing shareholders and the Substantial Product Holders. The composition of the Board, and the appropriate governance structure
for the Company, continues to be monitored on a regular basis.
Diversity and Inclusion
Winton, and the Board, is committed to ensuring an environment where its people enjoy their roles, their interaction with other
employees, contractors and customers and working towards the success of the business. Winton is committed to creating an open
workplace where every team member is welcomed, supported and inspired, and where diversity is celebrated.
The principles of Winton’s Diversity and Inclusion Policy include encouraging diversity of all types throughout the workforce at all
levels, creating a flexible and inclusive work environment, ensuring the behaviour of its leaders reflect our values, attracting and
retaining talented people and ensuring that its people feel safe. The Board considers that Winton has adhered to these principles and
its Diversity and Inclusion Policy.
The Board recognises that gender is one important and commonly reported measure of diversity. The gender composition at Winton
as at 30 June 2026 is set out in the table below:
AS AT 30 JUNE 2026AS AT 30 JUNE 2025

EMPLOYEES1
,

15917511221391
1. Executive directors are included in both the director and employee statistics.
2. Senior management team members are also included in employee statistics.
The Board acknowledges that Recommendation 2.5 of the NZX Code sets out that the Diversity and Inclusion Policy should include
requirements for the board or a relevant committee to set measurable objectives for achieving diversity (which, at a minimum, should
address gender diversity) and to assess annually both the objectives and the entity’s progress in achieving them. Winton did not
comply with this Recommendation in the years ending 30 June 2025 and 30 June 2026 as its Diversity and Inclusion Policy does not
include this requirement. While the Diversity and Inclusion Policy does not include or require quantitative or measurable objectives to
be set, the Policy does set out a range of qualitative objectives and principles as noted above, and the Policy was last approved by the
Board in August 2024. The next review of the Diversity and Inclusion Policy will be conducted in August 2026, and the Board intends
to amend the Policy to require that measurable objectives for achieving diversity (which, at a minimum, should address gender
diversity) be set and assessed annually.

Interests Register
The Company maintains an Interests Register, together with separate Interests Registers for each subsidiary company. Any director
who is interested in a transaction with the Company (or a subsidiary) is required to immediately disclose to the Board the nature,
monetary value and extent of that interest and will not be entitled to vote in respect of such transaction (other than a transaction
where all directors are required to sign a certificate in accordance with the Companies Act).

As permitted by the Company’s constitution and the Companies Act, the Company has also entered into a deed indemnifying its
directors against potential liabilities and costs they may incur for acts or omissions in their capacity as directors of the Company
and its subsidiaries.

Principle 3 – Board Committees
“The board should use committees where this will enhance its effectiveness in key areas, while still retaining board responsibility.”
The Board has two standing committees, being the Audit and Financial Risk Committee and the Nomination and Remuneration
Committee, as detailed below. The Board has concluded that it is not necessary at this time to establish any other standing
committees, but may consider additional committees as appropriate.
Audit and Financial Risk Committee
Membership during the reporting period: Steven Joyce (Chair), Guy Fergusson, Glen Tupuhi
Winton has an Audit and Financial Risk Committee that operates under its own written charter, which is available on Winton’s Website.
The Audit and Financial Risk Committee was chaired by Steven Joyce during the reporting period. The membership of this committee
during the reporting period was solely independent directors. Guy Fergusson is both an independent member of this committee and
has an adequate accounting background as a qualified Chartered Accountant.
The Audit and Financial Risk Committee takes responsibility to ensure the quality and integrity of external financial reporting
including the accuracy, completeness, and timeliness of financial statements. The committee is committed to providing balanced,
clear, and objective financial reporting. It reviews financial statements and makes recommendations to the Board concerning
accounting policies, areas of judgment, compliance with accounting standards, stock exchange and legal requirements, and the
results of the external audit.
The Audit and Financial Risk Committee may, in its discretion, invite Winton’s external auditors and members of the senior
management team, as appropriate, to attend committee meetings. All directors have a standing invitation to attend the Audit
and Financial Risk Committee meetings and are regular attendees at these meetings throughout the year. Employees only attend
committee meetings at the invitation of the Audit and Financial Risk Committee. The Audit and Financial Risk Committee Charter
which governs the operations of the Audit and Financial Risk Committee was updated with the changes approved and adopted by
the Board in June 2024.
EY was appointed the Company’s auditor on 22 October 2022. The current audit partner was appointed on 18 November 2024.
Subsequent to the balance date, the composition of this committee has changed in that Guy Fergusson has been appointed as
Chair and Chris Meehan as a new member. Steven Joyce and Glen Tupuhi remain on the committee as members.
Nomination and Remuneration Committee
Membership during the reporting period: Steven Joyce (Chair), Guy Fergusson, Chris Meehan, James Kemp
Winton has a combined Nomination and Remuneration Committee that operates under its own written charter. The Board acknowledges
that Recommendations 3.3 and 3.4 of the NZX Code set out that at least a majority of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee
should be independent directors. Winton did not comply with these recommendations in FY26, as only two out of four directors on
this committee are independent. The Board is comfortable that the composition of this committee allows it to effectively discharge
its duties and it has robust conflict management arrangements in place. Since Chris Meehan was also the CEO during the reporting
period, he declared any conflicts of interest and stood down from decisions relating to his own performance and remuneration.
ANNUAL REPORT 2026WINTON LAND LIMITED | 61
Corporate Governance
33 Northbrook Wānaka,
Wānaka
ANNUAL REPORT 202662 | WINTON LAND LIMITED
The primary responsibilities of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee include to identify and make recommendations to the
Board in respect of director nominations (including casual vacancies and composition of committees), to review and recommend to the
Board appropriate remuneration of the directors for consideration by shareholders, and to review and approve annually the remuneration
strategy for Winton, including specific responsibilities in relation to the CEO and his direct reports. The senior management team are only
invited to attend meetings of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee at the discretion of the committee.
The Company enters into written agreements with each of its new directors establishing the terms and conditions of their appointment,
including their duties, term of appointment (subject to shareholder approval), expectations of the role and remuneration.
Subsequent to the balance date, the composition of this committee has changed in that James Kemp has been appointed as Chair
and Michaela Meehan as a new member. Steven Joyce, Guy Fergusson and Chris Meehan remain on the committee as members.
Control Transactions
The Board acknowledges that Recommendation 3.6 of the NZX Code sets out that the Board should establish appropriate protocols
that set out the procedure to be followed for a “control transaction”. Whilst at the date of this report, Winton does not comply with
this Recommendation, a draft Takeover Response Protocol document is scheduled for review and approval by the Board in the 2026
calendar year.
Principle 4 – Reporting & Disclosure
“The board should demand integrity in financial and non-financial reporting, and in the timeliness and balance of corporate disclosures.”
Continuous Disclosure
Winton is committed to promoting shareholder confidence through effective communication with the NZX, the ASX, the Company’s
shareholders, investors, analysts, media and other interested parties, and providing those parties with equal and timely access to
material information. The Board and the senior management team carefully consider such information to ensure it is precise, balanced
and consistent. Winton’s Continuous Disclosure Policy applies to ensure that all relevant stakeholders have appropriate and timely
access to relevant information, be it positive or negative. The Continuous Disclosure Policy was reviewed and updated in June 2024
and is due for review in August 2026.
Other Governance Documentation
The Company Policies, annual and interim reports, Company announcements and other relevant materials are available on
Winton’s Website.
Reporting
Winton’s half-year and audited full-year financial statements are prepared in accordance with the relevant financial reporting standards
and applicable legislation. The audited full-year financial statements for FY26 are included in this report.
Non-financial information is included throughout this report, including in relation to Winton’s communities and projects.
Climate-related Disclosures
Winton was a climate-reporting entity under the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013 (FMC Act) for prior reporting periods. If the
recent proposed changes to the statutory reporting threshold were in force, under which the climate reporting market capitalisation
threshold for listed issuers is proposed to be lifted from $60 million to $1 billion, Winton would not meet the criteria for a climate-
reporting entity for FY26. Accordingly, Winton has not prepared climate-related disclosures given the interim no action relief
provided to listed issuers by the Financial Markets Authority.
Directors’ Dealings and Relevant Interests
There were no directors’ dealings in the Company’s financial products in FY26.
The details of the directors’ relevant interests in the Company’s financial products as at 30 June 2026 are set out in the table below:

ANNUAL REPORT 2026WINTON LAND LIMITED | 63
Principle 5 – Remuneration
“The remuneration of directors and executives should be transparent, fair and reasonable.”
Refer to the Remuneration Report in this report starting at page 69.
Principle 6 – Risk Management
“Directors should have a sound understanding of the material risks faced by the issuer and how to manage them. The Board
should regularly verify that the issuer has appropriate processes that identify and manage potential and material risks.”
Risk Management Framework
The Board has established a risk management framework which includes a list of material risks faced by Winton. The framework
is reviewed and updated as risks to the business evolve and change. The Board has set its risk tolerance appetite in pursuit of its
strategy and how it will manage them.
The treatment of a risk varies according to the nature and severity of that risk. If the risks are material, they will be reported to the
Board. Simultaneously, where such risks warrant the need to make a disclosure to the market, Winton will apply relevant facts against
the Continuous Disclosure Policy.
The Audit and Financial Risk Committee at Winton reviews and makes recommendations to the Board whether Winton’s processes
for managing financial risk are sufficient and any incident of fraud or other failure of internal controls. Non-financial risk and the
appropriateness of Winton’s insurance programme is reviewed and determined at a full Board level.
The CEO and other members of the senior management team review, update and take ownership of the day-to-day management and
operation of Winton’s risk management framework and associated policies and procedures.
Principal Business Risks and Key Strategies to Mitigate
Winton is currently focused on 12 principal business risks across its business. For the purposes of this report and Recommendation 6.1
of the NZX Code, a high-level description of these principal business risks is provided below:
AREA OF RISKDESCRIPTION OF RISKKEY STRATEGIES EMPLOYED BY WINTON TO MITIGATE RISK
PROPERTY MARKET RISK
Winton’s ability to achieve its forecasted
sales and/or forecasted sales prices within
each of its developments is dependent on
the housing market conditions in each of the
areas in which its developments are located.
Winton reviews economic and residential property
market conditions through research and relationships
with market participants.
Reporting is provided to the Board regularly.
CONSTRUCTION AND
DEVELOPMENT RISK
Winton faces construction and property
development risks when developing
its communities and projects within its
communities. These risks include project
delays (consenting and construction),
default risk, governance and design risk, and
potential labour and materials shortages.
Winton ensures expected returns from
developments adequately compensate Winton for
the level of risk undertaken before approval.
Through due diligence, Winton understands
the project risks by undertaking comprehensive
feasibility studies to determine the viability of the
proposed initiative or development and ensures
funding is in place.
Further, Winton establishes a procurement
plan, including procurement for long lead items,
and engages contractors early to mitigate cost
escalation or contractor default. Its construction
and development contracts have robust provisions
to ensure these risks are adequately addressed
and mitigated.
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
AND GENERAL
COMPLIANCE RISK
Failure to comply with regulatory, societal
and investor expectations in relation to
corporate governance and environmental
sustainability could impact Winton’s
reputation and financial performance over
the longer term.
Failure to comply with environmental
laws, resource consents and regulations
which may result in penalties and/or
reputational damage.
Winton’s governance procedures are continually
monitored to ensure compliance. External
consultants and advisers are engaged as
appropriate. Winton also proactively engages with
regulators such as NZ RegCo and ASIC to foster
ongoing relationships and open dialogue.
Project developments are required to have
Environmental Management Plans in place and are
consistently monitored in accordance with Resource
Consent conditions.
Corporate Governance
ANNUAL REPORT 202664 | WINTON LAND LIMITED
Principal Business Risks and Key Strategies to Mitigate continued
AREA OF RISKDESCRIPTION OF RISKKEY STRATEGIES EMPLOYED BY WINTON TO MITIGATE RISK
FINANCIAL
PERFORMANCE RISK
The risk of financial performance not being
managed to expectations.
As noted under the “construction and development
risk”, Winton has a number of provisions in place
to control this risk, including a delegation policy, an
analytical review process, forecasting, budgeting, and
general proactive management. Winton’s approach
to pre-sales is conservative requiring purchasers
to provide personal guarantees as appropriate and
ensuring deposits are payable early.
RETIREMENT VILLAGE
OPERATIONAL RISK
Winton will need to continue to develop and
implement new or additional operational
strategies to operate successful luxury
retirement villages and aged care offerings
under the Northbrook brand. This includes
hiring appropriate staff and establishing and
maintaining quality and service standards
consistent with market expectations.
Retirement villages will need to be
developed and constructed to high
standards to achieve the appropriate
premium brand positioning.
Winton’s Director of Retirement, Julian Cook, is
the former CEO of one of New Zealand’s largest
retirement village operators, Summerset Group.
Winton also engages expert external advisers to
advise on registration, statutory obligations and
ongoing compliance.
HEALTH, SAFETY AND
WELLBEING OF WINTON
EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS
AND STAKEHOLDERS
Risk of not having adequate procedures
in place to identify, manage and report on
the health, safety and wellbeing of Winton
employees, contractors and stakeholders,
both internally and externally.
Winton has a number of procedures in place to
ensure hazards are identified and its health and
safety obligations are met.
Winton records near misses and “opportunities
for improvement” at a corporate level as well as
through contractor reporting lines for any incidents
on site. These are minuted at regular site meetings
or advised directly to Winton if appropriate to
report outside of site meeting timing.
PCG reporting covers health and safety as a standing
item and independent audits are also undertaken.
TECHNOLOGY AND
CYBERSECURITY RISK
The risk of Winton’s systems or data
becoming compromised, for example due
to a cyberattack, an outage or human error
in releasing private data.
Winton’s systems are managed by qualified third
parties and appropriate cybersecurity controls are
in place.
System and internal controls are reviewed frequently
with new systems implemented as required.
Training and reinforcement of process is provided to
employees who have access to private data.
ANNUAL REPORT 2026WINTON LAND LIMITED | 65
Principal Business Risks and Key Strategies to Mitigate continued
AREA OF RISKDESCRIPTION OF RISKKEY STRATEGIES EMPLOYED BY WINTON TO MITIGATE RISK
STAFF RETENTION AND
CAPABILITY RISK, TOGETHER
WITH PEOPLE AND
LEADERSHIP CONTINUITY RISK
In a competitive labour market, Winton is at
risk of staff shortages and loss of institutional
knowledge and experience. The risk is our
ability to recruit appropriate replacements
and the loss of knowledge and expertise.
In addition, Winton’s ability to achieve its
strategic objectives may be impacted by
insufficient succession planning for key
leadership and critical roles. The loss of key
personnel without identified successors
could reduce organisational resilience, affect
decision-making capability, and disrupt the
delivery of business priorities.
Key areas within Winton’s senior management,
development and operational teams will continue to
be monitored closely.
Winton also ensures a strong focus on team
engagement and enhancement. The Company
continues to identify key critical roles and potential
successors and ensuring ongoing knowledge
transfer and capability development initiatives.
Winton will continue to undertake regular
performance reviews of employees and directors
and benchmark remuneration packages with the
wider market.
CONSENTING RISK
Winton’s development activities typically
require it to achieve rezoning or resource
consents to allow development of its
master planned communities and projects
to be undertaken.
There is a risk that Winton does not achieve
the rezoning or consents required, or the
rezoning or consents are granted on terms
which are less favourable than Winton
originally anticipated.
Winton has strong relationships across local, central
governments and with tāngata whenua. While the
outcome of rezoning and consenting decisions
remains outside its direct control, Winton has a
proven track record of achieving the necessary
rezoning and consenting to develop large-scale
master planned communities.
LAND ACQUISITION RISK
Winton’s continued growth is dependent
on its ability to acquire attractive sites for
the development of new master planned
communities. The vendors of attractive
sites may choose to either not sell, sell to
a competitor or other third party, or sell at
higher prices than Winton would expect.
Winton continually evaluates potential new sites
and has a demonstrated record in origination
opportunities through various channels, including
direct approaches to landowners, public sale
processes, its network of long-term relationships
across New Zealand and inbound enquiry. Winton
has enshrined provisions in its constitution to enable
it to control shareholding to ensure it does not
become an “overseas person” under the Overseas
Investment Act 2005. This mitigates the risk of
many competitors.
CLIMATE CHANGE RISK
Physical and transitional risks associated
with climate change, and the transition to a
low-carbon economy, have the potential to
affect Winton. Transitional risks may impact
the short-to-medium term, while in the longer
term Winton expects to operate in a climate
that is different to current conditions.
Winton is already adapting to physical and transitional
risks relating to climate change. Winton designs
for resilience, and performs detailed risk analysis to
understand the impacts of different climate change
and transitional scenarios.
FUNDING OF STRATEGIC
GOALS RISK
The risk of not being able to fund strategic
decisions.
Winton continually evaluates its existing balance
sheet position and future cashflows to prevent
cash shortages, securing additional equity or debt
funding as required.
Corporate Governance
ANNUAL REPORT 202666 | WINTON LAND LIMITED
Tax Governance
Winton has implemented a Tax Governance Framework, which sets out the policies and processes in place to manage Winton’s tax
objectives, identification of tax risks, and its tax reporting requirements to the Board. The Tax Governance Framework is reviewed
by the CFO on an annual basis, or when material changes to the tax environment Winton operates in take place. Following each
review, the CFO will report to the Audit and Financial Risk Committee, who will in turn consider any changes or issues that need to
be submitted to the Board for consideration. The Board is satisfied that Winton has effective policies and procedures to effectively
manage Winton’s tax risk and ensure that the Group meets its obligations. Winton continues to seek certainty on tax positions
through proactive engagement with advisors and tax authorities. Overall, Winton adopts a risk-adverse stance on all tax issues, and
engages qualified third party advisors to assist where appropriate.
Health and Safety
Winton’s internal Health and Safety Committee, with Board oversight, monitors and manages health and safety risks across
the organisation, including through its supplier and contractor relationships. Winton takes a systematic approach, maintaining
a comprehensive health and safety framework supported by risk registers tailored to each area of the business, including land
development, construction, retirement, hospitality and corporate operations, reflecting the diverse nature of its activities and
working environments. The Company encourages active involvement from directors, senior management, employees, contractors
and other stakeholders, supported by regular training, engagement programmes and leadership visibility across workplaces, sites
and operational facilities. Formal health and safety requirements are incorporated into tendering processes and contractor pre-
qualification procedures, while specific safety plans are maintained for retirement, hospitality and operational precincts. The BWARE
software safety platform continues to be used and expanded across the business. Winton tracks its health and safety performance
using the industry-accepted Total Recordable Injury Rate (TRIR), which improved to 1.8 in FY26 from 2.2 in FY25. During FY26,
Winton notified one event to WorkSafe New Zealand. Winton continues to focus on supporting the health, safety and wellbeing of
its employees, contractors and visitors through effective systems, training and engagement.
Principle 7 – Auditors
“The board should ensure the quality and independence of the external audit process.”
Audit
The Board is committed to ensure auditor independence is maintained, in accordance with strong governance practices and
regulatory requirements. The Company has adopted an Auditor Independence Policy that is administered by the Audit and Financial
Risk Committee. The Auditor Independence Policy was last reviewed in June 2024 and will be reviewed again in August 2026.
The Auditor Independence Policy is a reflection of the Company’s belief that the quality of external auditing is critical for the integrity
of financial reporting, and provides an important protection for investors. The Policy addresses Recommendation 7.1 of the NZX Code
and includes procedures for communication with an auditor, approval of an external audit firm, the monitoring of audit independence,
the audit rotation requirements, the circumstances where it may be appropriate for an auditor to provide non-audit services and the
responsibilities of Winton (including in relation to the monitoring of audit performance, value and fees).
EY, as the auditor of the FY26 financial statements, attended the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting in October 2025 and will be invited to
attend this year’s Annual Shareholders’ Meeting.
Winton does not have a dedicated internal audit function. In addition to the robust external audit process, Winton’s process to ensure
internal compliance is through constant review, evaluation and improvement of the risk management process and internal controls.
Principle 8 – Shareholder Rights & Relations
“The board should respect the rights of shareholders and foster constructive relationships with shareholders that encourage them
to engage with the issuer.”
Investor Centre Website
Winton’s Website contains a comprehensive set of investor-related material and data, including market disclosures, media releases,
annual and interim reports, share-price information and copies of the Company Policies. It also contains details of directors and
employees.
Shareholder Communication
Winton welcomes communication and feedback from shareholders. Winton’s Website provides contact details for shareholder and
investor relations queries, and includes dates and times of shareholder meetings and investor calls. Winton’s process following each
results announcement is to hold an investor call to present the results and to allow investors and other stakeholders to ask questions.
Shareholders have the option to receive their communications electronically, including by email, and are actively encouraged to take
up this option.
ANNUAL REPORT 2026WINTON LAND LIMITED | 67
Notice of Annual Shareholders’ Meetings
The Annual Meeting of Shareholders will again be run as a virtual-only meeting. It is expected to be held on Friday, 23 October 2026
at 11.00am (NZDT). The Notice of Meeting will be circulated at least 20 working days before the meeting and will also be posted on
Winton’s Website.
In respect of voting rights, Winton shareholders have one vote per share they hold in Winton and will have the right to vote on
material or related party transactions in accordance with the NZX Listing Rules.
OTHER DISCLOSURES
Donations
In addition to various sponsorship contributions, the Company (or subsidiaries) paid a total of $45,489 in donations for the year
ended 30 June 2026. No donations were made to political parties, ballots or referendums.
NZX Waivers
The following approval and waiver from the NZX Listing Rules were relied upon by the Company during FY26:
•
NZ R
egCo approval under NZX Listing Rule 8.1.6 to include provisions in the Company’s constitution which allow the Board to
restrict the transfer of Winton’s securities to ‘overseas persons’ as defined in the Overseas Investment Act 2005 and to require
certain documentation and/or information in relation to a proposed transfer or transferee of Winton’s securities, and
•
a w
aiver from NZX Listing Rule 8.1.5, to the extent that rule would otherwise prevent Winton from suspending the voting rights
attaching to securities in accordance with the process set out in the Company’s constitution.
The conditions to these approvals and waiver are that Winton is given a non-standard (NS) designation, in terms of its listing on
the NZX Main Board. An outline of this approval and waiver, together with an explanation of the effects of the same is available on
Winton’s Website.
ASX Waivers
ASX also granted a waiver from ASX Listing Rules 8.10 to 8.11, to the extent necessary to permit Winton’s constitution to contain the
provisions outlined above that restrict certain transfers to “overseas persons” and suspend voting rights in relation to the same.

Remuneration Report
1. Remuneration Governance at Winton
Winton’s remuneration framework and policies are overseen by the Nomination and Remuneration Committee (the N&R Committee).
As at 30 June 2026, the N&R Committee comprised Steven Joyce (Chair), Guy Fergusson, James Kemp and Chris Meehan.
During the reporting period, two of the four members were independent directors. Management only attend N&R Committee
meetings by invitation and Chris Meehan does not attend any meetings where discussion or review is held on CEO remuneration.
Subsequent to the balance date, the composition of the N&R Committee has changed in that James Kemp has been appointed
as Chair and Michaela Meehan as a new member. Steven Joyce, Guy Fergusson and Chris Meehan remain on the N&R Committee
as members.
It is the role of the N&R Committee to support and advise the Board in relation to all nomination, remuneration, recruitment and
retention matters, but is generally focused on directors, the CEO and senior management.
The N&R Committee operates under a written charter. The charter is available to view on the Winton’s Website. The internal
governance policies that provide context for the remuneration outcomes are the Remuneration Policy and the Board Charter.
2.
Remuneration Policy
The Board supports a remuneration strategy that is competitive in the market, taking into account the complexity of the business
itself, and also having regard to the scale of, and high performance expected within, each role.
The Nomination and Remuneration Committee Charter governs the responsibilities and process by which the N&R Committee
carries out its functions. The N&R Committee is to consider benchmark executive remuneration data as appropriate, with
remuneration of the CEO and other members of the senior management team to include a mix of fixed and variable components,
always having regard to alignment of shareholder interests. Together with the fixed base salary (including any KiwiSaver
contributions, carparking, etc.), remuneration also comprises variable components such as discretionary bonuses, and eligibility
for long term incentive plans (described in more detail in section 3 of this Remuneration Report).
As part of a holistic approach to employment benefits, following recommendation by the N&R Committee, the Board has
implemented long service leave and sabbatical policies for qualifying employees.
The Nomination and Remuneration Committee Charter and the Remuneration Policy were last updated in June 2024 and will be
reviewed in August 2026.
3
Ex
ecutive Remuneration
The senior management team (excluding the CEO) is remunerated with a mix of base salary, benefits and discretionary bonuses.
The senior management team and other eligible senior leaders in the business are participants in both long term incentive plans
described below.
Employee Share Option Plan
The Company has implemented a long-term incentive plan (the Winton ESOP) for employees, to incentivise and retain those
employees. Under the Winton ESOP, participants are granted options to vest at year 4, year 7 and year 10, and will not be
required to pay for such options. Each option gives the participant the right to acquire one share, subject to the participant
remaining employed at the relevant vesting date, at the exercise price for those options. The exercise price will not be adjusted
for any dividends paid by Winton.
Every employee of Winton as at the date of listing (17 December 2021) was included in the Winton ESOP, and all subsequent
employees are eligible to participate in that Winton ESOP after 12 months of continuous service.
In addition to the general Winton ESOP, a grant of options was made to Julian Cook as performance based remuneration.
Each option will give Mr Cook the right to acquire one share at the vesting date (being 10 years from the date of issue), subject
to Mr Cook remaining employed on the 4th anniversary of the date of issue of the options, at the exercise price for those options.
The exercise price will be adjusted for any dividends paid by Winton.
Selected Employee Long Term Incentive Plan
In addition to the Winton ESOP, senior management and other eligible senior leaders of the Company are participants in a
specific long term incentive plan (the Senior LTI Plan). Participants are allocated a defined dollar amount as approved by the
Board (the LTIP Amount). The relevant LTIP Amount will vest in full to the participant, conditional on a performance test being
met in respect of particular projects, prior to a specific deadline. Following vesting, the payment of the LTIP Amount to the
participant occurs over a payment period set by the Board.
Participants in the Senior LTI Plan must be permanent employees and are to remain employed by the Company to retain eligibility.
This Remuneration Report contains disclosure of the employees (other than employees who are directors) who received
remuneration and any other benefits in their capacity as employees, the value of which was or exceeded $100,000 per annum, in
brackets of $10,000, as required by the Companies Act 1993.

6. Directors’ Remuneration
Directors’ remuneration is in the form of directors’ fees. The Board determines the level of fees paid to directors from a total
directors’ fee pool authorised by shareholders. The current fee pool, approved by shareholders in November 2021, is $600,000.
Winton’s strategy is to attract and retain high performing directors with the appropriate skills and experience to provide diversity
of thought and benefit to the Company. On that basis, it is important that the directors are appropriately remunerated. As at
30 June 2026, the base directors’ fees comprise an annual fee of $64,753 per annum (other than the Board Chair fee which is
$107,921 per annum) and an annual fee of $21,584 to chair the Audit and Financial Risk Committee and $12,951 to chair any other
Board committee.
In November 2023, the Board approved an annual increase to the base fees on 1 October each year, by the increase in CPI
calculated prior to 1 October. On 27 June 2025, the Board resolved that, in the context of wider cost cutting measures at the
Company, it would not apply this increase for the 2025 calendar year. The next scheduled CPI adjustment is on 1 October 2026.
Remuneration received by each Board member for FY26 is set out in the following table:

classics and a live car auction, resulting in 9,000 visitors.

FY25. A total of 430 units were settled, an increase of 164 units.
•Cost of goods sold of $103.1 million is higher than FY25 by $7.2 million or 7.5%,
reflecting higher volume of settlements and additional hospitality trading,
however the development gross margin improved to 37.1% from 31.2% as a
higher proportion of Lakeside land lots settled at above-average margins.
•Gross profit was $85.7m, a margin of 45.4%, up from 38.3% in FY25.
•Commercial revenue increased by $15.2 million in FY26 with a full year of trading
across the Ayrburn venues and the opening of Bravo at Cracker Bay in February
2026. Hospitality revenue was $35.8 million, up $14.7 million on FY25.
•A net fair value gain of $2.3 million resulted from the revaluation of commercial
assets and retirement land within the investment properties portfolio. This
compares to a gain of $5.1 million in FY25.
•Selling expenses were lower in FY26 by 12.8% due to reduced sales commission
and marketing spend.
•Employee benefits expense increased by $2.4 million in FY26 with additional
venues trading.
•Administrative expenses decreased by $2.8 million, largely due to lower legal
costs.
•EBITDA was $45.6 million, up from $21.3 million and net profit after tax was $22.7

2027. Winton has no recourse debt at the group level and all other properties
(excluding Sunfield and Cracker Bay) across the group remain unencumbered
•Inventories have decreased from FY25 due to units settling.
•An increase in investment properties of $10.8 million and property, plant and
equipment of $17.0 million represents progress at Northbrook Wānaka.
•Revenue in advance and Residents’ loans reflect the opening of Northbrook
Wānaka in May 2025 and will be recognised over the average expected occupancy
of residents.

Cashflows
•Net operating cashflows have increased by $63.6 million due to additional
proceeds from residential settlements, a reduction in development land purchases
and payments to suppliers and employees due to less works onsite in FY26.
•Investing activity outflows have decreased due to less purchasing activity of
investment property and property, plant and equipment in FY26. Investment
property purchases mainly relate to Northbrook Wānaka Wellness. Property, plant
and equipment mainly relates to Northbrook Wānaka Stage 2.
•The Board continues to pause dividends to maintain financial discipline during the
current softer market conditions but is actively considering how and when it might
resume dividends to shareholders.

Unemployment Rate, Sep 2010 - Jun 2026 (quarterly)
Unemployment Continues to Increase, 5.6 as at June 2026
Market and Outlook
22
Unemployment continues to increase, and we maintain our view that the residential property market is unlikely to substantially
turn around until after unemployment has peaked.

Market and Outlook
•Unemployment continues to increase, reaching 5.6% as at June
2026 with no clear signs yet of having peaked, and net migration
remains well below its long-term average despite a modest uptick
from 2025's lows. However, there are encouraging signs elsewhere:
building consents in the first half of 2026 have risen above the long-
run average, ready-mix concrete volumes have recovered to their
decade average, and construction cost inflation has eased markedly
from the highs of 2021–2023.
•It remains our view that, given the current economic environment
a
nd property market, we must remain cautious and constrained,
and continue to conserve resources until there is clearer evidence
of robust growth, rather than relying on these tentative signs of
stabilisation.
•In the near term, this will mean focusing primarily on the recurrent
i
ncome segments of the business, Sunfield and our South Island
developments, where the market has been less affected.
•Winton is cautiously positive about an improvement in trading
conditions in the year ahead, but the level of economic uncertainty
remains high.
•The company will remain focused on converting its landbank into
settlements, progressing its major projects at Sunfield and the
Ayrburn Screen Hub, and optimising its commercial and retirement
offerings. The Board will shortly review projects for investment and
will update shareholders on any specific decisions made as a result
of that process.
Winton is navigating the wider economic conditions as well as possible, focussing on recurrent income segments of the
business, Sunfield and South Island developments.
