• A CPI linked rental increase of +17.3% on 7.3% of NZL’s pastoral properties took effect in June 2026. A further

• Subsequent to the end of HY26 NZL settled the purchase from SI Orchards of an additional horticultural

30 year lease worth ~$715k annually.

NZRLI LP Land Leased to Kiwi Crunch and Related Entities

Several entities associated with Kiwi Crunch recently had external administrators appointed. New Zealand Rural

Land Investments Limited Partnership’s (NZRLI LP) owns land that is leased to the following Kiwi Crunch and

related entities.

Kiwi Crunch Farms

Kiwi Crunch Farms Limited (Kiwi Crunch Farms) tenanted kiwifruit orchards in the Hawke’s Bay. On 7 July 2026,

Kiwi Crunch Farms entered voluntary administration and was subsequently placed into receivership. In late July

2026 the Receivers advised that they did not intend to adopt the existing lease agreements. Kiwi Crunch Farms

was placed in liquidation on 11 August 2026.

The Kiwi Crunch Farms leases represented approximately 5.8%* of NZRLI LP’s total current annual rental income

and as at 30 June 2026 Kiwi Crunch Farms owed NZRLI LP rent totalling approximately $0.7m. Management has

engaged with prospective alternative tenants and purchasers in respect of the affected properties and will update

the market when appropriate on the outcome.

MM Forests

MM Forests Limited tenants forestry land in the central North Island representing approximately 2.7%* of NZRLI

LP’s total current annual rental income. It has not had external administrators appointed, and as at 30 June 2026 it

owed NZRLI LP rent totalling approximately $0.3m.

South Island Orchards

South Island Orchards tenants apple orchards in Central Otago. On 24 July 2026, NZRLI LP completed the

purchase from SI Orchards of a 79 hectares property that is contiguous to NZL’s existing SI Orchards property and

now represents 4.6%* of NZRLI LP’s total current annual rent income. The purchase price was approximately $8.5

million, with title passing to NZRLI LP on settlement.

Prior to settlement, $2.6 million of an advanced property settlement balance had been intended to be offset

against the purchase price. To enable settlement to complete and title to pass, NZRLI LP did not apply that offset

and instead funded an equivalent amount at settlement. The $2.6 million remains separately owing to NZRLI LP by

SI Orchards Limited and the relevant guarantors.

South Island Orchards has not had external administrators appointed, and as at 30 June 2026 it owed NZRLI LP

rent totalling approximately $0.2m.

Financial Impact

The ultimate financial impact of the appointment of administrators to Kiwi Crunch Farms remains unclear, as it will

depend on the extent and timing of recovery of amounts owing from NZRLI LP tenants referred to above (whether

in administration or not), and the timing and terms of any replacement lease or sale arrangements.

CPI Adjustments

NZL benefits from CPI adjustments for all of its properties and has received CPI adjusted rental payments from

the tenants whose properties were subject to review in HY26. 7.3% of NZL’s dairy assets (4.3%* of NZL’s rent)

was subject to CPI linked rental increases of +17.3% which took effect in June 2026. A further 30.3%* of NZL’s

portfolio was subject to a +3.1% increase in the first half of the year. Reflecting this, the portfolio’s total lease value

has increased by ~$388.4k or +1.7%. NZL’s dairy leases undergo CPI review every three years, in contrast to its

horticultural and forestry leases which undergo CPI review annually.

* Percentages reflect NZRLI LP’s total annual rental post the settlement of the SI Orchards property in July 2026

Dividend and Share Buyback Programme

NZL will pay an quarterly dividend of 1.34 cps in September 2026. This will bring the total dividend paid for the

first half of the financial year to 2.68 cps.

As noted earlier in the year in response to KPMG’s Capital Review NZL has adopted a revised dividend policy

targeting annual distributions of approximately 90-100% of AFFO, paid quarterly, consistent with sector practice.

The policy is designed to provide greater predictability and transparency for shareholders and will only be

suspended in extreme circumstances.

The board also adopted a more dynamic approach to the Dividend Reinvestment Plan (DRP) with confirmation

as to whether or not the DRP will apply provided at each dividend announcement. The DRP will not apply at this

dividend payment.

The company maintains a selective on-market share buyback programme. Under the programme 710,131 shares

have been acquired as at the date of this announcement.

Outlook & Subsequent Events

NZL’s strategy is to own quality rural land in New Zealand; growing a diverse portfolio while delivering attractive

risk-adjusted returns as a ground lessor.

NZL’s leases incorporate regular CPI reviews. That means inflation results in rental growth. As a ground lessor,

NZL is also relatively protected from inflation-impacted, and other on-farm operational costs.

NZL’s FY26 forecast AFFO guidance remains suspended as the Company continues to work through its options in

relation to Kiwi Crunch. Updated guidance will be provided in the second half of the year once the outcome of the

current situation becomes clearer.

1. Reporting entity
These consolidated financial statements are for New Zealand Rural Land Company Limited (the "Company" or "Parent") and its subsidiaries

(together the "Group"). The Group's principal activity is investment in New Zealand rural farmland and forestry land.

The Company is incorporated in New Zealand and registered under the Companies Act 1993. The Company is an FMC reporting entity for

the purposes of the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013 and the Financial Reporting Act 2013. The Company was incorporated on 11

September 2020 and is domiciled in New Zealand. The Company is listed on the New Zealand Stock Exchange (NZX Limited) with ordinary

shares listed on the NZX Main Board. The address of the Company's registered office is 50 Customhouse Quay, Wellington Central,

Wellington, New Zealand.

These financial statements are for the 6 month period ended 30 June 2026.

2. Basis of preparation and measurement

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with New Zealand Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (NZ GAAP), New

Zealand International Accounting Standard 34 (NZ IAS 34) Interim Financial Reporting and International Accounting Standard 34 (IAS 34)

Interim Financial Reporting. For the purposes of complying with NZ GAAP the Group is a for-profit entity.

The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for derivative financial instruments and investment

properties which are measured at fair value.

The financial statements do not contain all the disclosures normally included in an annual financial report and should be read in

conjunction with the audited year ended 31 December 2025 consolidated financial statements.

The accounting policies and methods of computation in the most recent annual financial statements are followed in these interim financial

statements.

These financial statements are presented in New Zealand dollars, which is the Group's functional currency. All amounts have been rounded

to the nearest thousand, unless otherwise stated.

3. Critical accounting estimates and judgements

The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions. These affect the amounts of

reported revenue and expense and the measurement of assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from these estimates. The principal

areas of judgements, estimates and assumptions applied by the Group in the consolidated interim financial statements are consistent with

those disclosed in the Group's annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2025. The principal areas relate to:

•Limited Partnership establishment and associated transactions

•Fair valuation of investment properties

•Determination that land and forest should be classified and measured as investment property

•Deferred tax on investment properties

There have been no new significant judgments, estimates and assumptions identified during the six months ended 30 June 2026.

5. Investment properties
Investment property is property held either to earn rental income, for capital appreciation or for both.

Investment properties are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at fair value with any change recognised in profit or loss.

Any gain or loss arising from a change in fair value is recognised in profit or loss.

Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating and arranging operating leases and lease incentives granted are added to the carrying amount of

the leased asset.

Investment properties are derecognised when they have been disposed of and any gains or losses incurred on disposal are recognised in

profit or loss in the year of derecognition.

During the 6 month period ended 30 June 2026, investment properties were assessed and revalued where applicable.

6. Advanced property settlement
During the year ended 31 December 2024, the Group agreed to purchase two orchard properties in Otago from the same vendor. The

purchase of the first property was completed during that financial year and was recognised as investment property and leased back to the

vendor. A deposit of $2.6 million was also paid on the second property (and recognised as advanced property settlement) while certain

actions were undertaken that would allow the Group to complete the purchase of that property.

During the period ended 30 June 2026, further advanced payments totalling $2.95m were made and have been included in advanced

property settlement. As at 30 June 2026, a net total of $2.8m of rental receivable has been agreed to be available to be used as partial

satisfaction of the purchase on the second property. This has been included in advanced property settlement.

The purchase settled in July 2026.

8. Finance income and expense
Finance income includes interest income derived from financial assets and any gain on fair value of derivative instruments. Interest income

from a financial asset is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the amount of income can be

measured reliably. Interest income is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective interest rate

applicable, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to that

asset's net carrying amount on initial recognition.

Finance expense includes interest expense incurred on borrowings and any loss on fair value of derivative instruments. Interest expense is

recognised using the effective interest method.

On 1 June 2021, the Group acquired land at 30 Cooneys Road, Morven (McNaughtons home block) for $5.4 million and simultaneously

entered into a lease and a put and call agreement with Performance Dairy Limited (PDL), a related entity to the vendor. Under the call

agreement, PDL can acquire the land on 31 May in any year (providing a minimum 90 days notice has been provided) from the Group for

$5.4 million plus 10% interest compounding annually. Under the put agreement, from 1 June 2023 the Group can require PDL to acquire

the land on 31 May any year under the same pricing mechanism and notice requirements. The put and call option has a 99 year life.

On 2 August 2021, the Group acquired land at a North Canterbury Dairy Farm (Makikihi Farm) for $12 million and simultaneously entered

into a lease and a put and call agreement with Makikihi Robotic Dairy Limited (MRDL), a related entity to the vendor. Under the call

agreement, MRDL can acquire the land on 31 May in any year (providing a minimum 90 days notice has been provided) from the Group for

12 million plus 4.66% interest compounding annually. Under the put agreement, from 1 August 2023 the Group can require MRDL to

acquire the land on 31 May any year under the same pricing mechanism and notice requirements. The put and call option has a 99 year life.

The Group also receives 5.34% interest payments in cash which is not compounded annually.

Key judgement

The Group has determined that, in substance, it does not control the underlying property but instead holds a contractual right to receive

cash. Accordingly, these arrangements are accounted for as loans and bear market interest at a rate of 10% per annum (2025: 10%).

The loans are secured by a General Security Deed and cross guarantee from certain Van Leeuwen Group entities.

The loan receivable balances have been considered and determined no impairment is required at reporting date.

11. Derivatives

Derivative financial instruments are comprised of interest rate swaps and net settled milk price forwards. They are initially classified and

subsequently measured as fair value through profit or loss ("FVTPL"). Interest is imputed in the interest rate swap and reflected in finance

income and expense.

12. Borrowings
Borrowings are recognised initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently stated at amortised cost.

Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognised in the consolidated statement of

comprehensive income over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method. Borrowings are classified as current liabilities

unless the Group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting date.

The Group has a syndicated loan facility agreement with Coöperatieve RaboBank U.A. New Zealand Branch ("Rabobank") and Bank of China

(New Zealand) Limited ("Bank of China"). The facility agreement has a current limit of $138,898,000 with floating interest rates ranging

over the four bank facilities. Interest is payable quarterly in arrears. Bank facility C and D were due to expire on 1 June 2026 and 14 April

2026 but have been extended to 1 June 2029 and 1 June 2030 on similar terms, respectively. During the period, the Group made a partial

principal repayment of bank facility D.

There is a general security deed over all of the assets of the Group as security of the borrowings.

The terms of the borrowings includes the following covenants that the Group must ensure at all times:

•Interest coverage ratio is greater than 2.25;

•Loan to valuation ratio does not exceed 50%; and

•Capital expenditure in each financial year shall not exceed 120% of the budgeted forecast capital expenditure.

Management fee

A monthly management fee is payable equal to 0.5% per annum of the Group's Net Asset Value, calculated on a monthly basis. The total

management fees for the 6 month period ended 30 June 2026 were $0.714 million (30 June 2025: $0.811 million).

Transaction fee

A fee is payable for the following transactions:

•For each purchase or sale of land, a fee equal to 1.25% of the acquisition or divestment cost of the land and improvements;

•For each lease agreement entered into, a fee of $30,000.

Performance fee

A performance fee is payable to the Manager when the Group's net asset value ('NAV') per share exceeds the Group's NAV per share in the

immediately preceding financial year. This annual performance fee is calculated as 10% of the increase in NAV per share and is settled

through the issue of ordinary shares based on the NAV per share at that date. NAV per share is adjusted for the impact of capital

reconstructions (such as a rights issue at a premium or discount), with the intention of the calculation being neither prejudicial nor

advantageous to the Company or the Manager. Half of the ordinary shares issued are held in escrow and cannot be sold for 5 years. The

performance fee in the financial year ended 31 December 2026 will be calculated after the financial year end. The shares will be issued to

the Manager subsequent to balance date.

17. Non-GAAP measures
Non-GAAP measures do not have a standard meaning prescribed by GAAP and therefore may not be comparable to information presented

by other entities. These measures should not be viewed in isolation, nor considered as a substitute for measures reported in accordance

with NZ IFRS.

17.1. Reconciliation of net profit after tax to adjusted funds from operations (AFFO)

Funds from operations ('FFO') is a non-GAAP financial measure that shows the Group's underlying and recurring earnings from its

operations and is considered industry best practice for a property fund to enable investors to see the cash generating ability of the

business. This is determined by adjusting statutory net profit (under NZ IFRS) for certain non-cash and other items. FFO has been

determined based on guidelines established by the Property Council of Australia and is intended as a supplementary measure of operating

performance. The Manager uses and considers Adjusted Funds From Operations ('AFFO') as a measure of operating cash flow generated

from the business, after providing for all operating capital requirements including maintenance capital expenditure, tenant improvement

works, incentives and leasing costs.

Basic and diluted earnings per share amounts are calculated by dividing profit after income tax attributable to shareholders by the

weighted average number of shares on issue.

Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account the after income

tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares, and the weighted average number of

ordinary shares that would have been outstanding assuming the conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares.

Comparative information disclosed in the statement of changes in equity has been restated for a prior period error previously disclosed in

the Group's annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2025.

The restatement increased opening retained earnings by $1.801 million and opening share-based payment reserve by $0.169 million at 1

January 2025, resulting in an increase in total equity of $1.970 million. The restatement had no impact on share capital and no impact on

the Group's profit or loss, other comprehensive income or cash flows for the six months ended 30 June 2026.

22. Events after the reporting period

On 7 July 2026, Kiwi Crunch Farms Limited (Kiwi Crunch Farms), the tenant of New Zealand Rural Land Investments Limited Partnership’s

(NZRLI LP) Hawke’s Bay properties, entered voluntary administration and was subsequently placed into receivership. NZRLI LP is 75%

owned by New Zealand Rural Land Company Limited.

On 22 July 2026, the receivers advised NZRLI LP that Kiwi Crunch Farms had ceased to use, possess or occupy the Hawke’s Bay properties

and that the receivers did not intend to adopt the existing lease agreements.

The Kiwi Crunch Farms leases represent approximately 5.8% of NZRLI LP’s total current annual rental income (post the SI Orchards

acquisition on 24 July 2026). Following the receivers’ notification, management has commenced engagement with alternative tenants and

purchasers in respect of the affected properties.

On 24 July 2026, NZRLI LP completed settlement of the remaining property at Roxburgh East, Central Otago, for approximately $8.5 million,

with title passing to NZRLI LP on settlement. Prior to settlement, $2.6 million of the advanced property settlement balance had been

intended to be offset against the purchase price. To enable settlement to complete and title to pass, NZRLI LP did not apply that offset and

instead funded an equivalent amount at settlement. Under an Acknowledgment of Debt entered into immediately prior to settlement, SI

Orchards Limited acknowledged an equivalent $2.6 million debt owing to NZRLI LP, supported by the existing guarantee arrangements.

Accordingly, following settlement, NZRLI LP held clear title to the property and the $2.6 million remained separately owing to NZRLI LP by SI

Orchards Limited and the relevant guarantors.

Management has considered the above developments in assessing the recoverability of outstanding rental receivables, the advance

property settlement balance and the carrying value of the affected properties as at 30 June 2026. The ultimate financial impact will depend

on the recovery of amounts owing, including the $2.6 million subsequently documented as a separate debt, and the timing and terms of

any replacement lease or sale arrangements.

On 27 August 2026, the Company declared a cash dividend for the period 1 April to 30 June 2026 of 1.34 cents per share.

New Zealand Rural Land Company

LAND LEASED TO KIWI CRUNCH AND RELATED ENTITIES

Several entities associated with Kiwi Crunch recently had external administrators appointed. New Zealand Rural Land Investments Limited Partnership’s (NZRLI LP)

owns land that is leased to the following Kiwi Crunch and related entities.

Kiwi Crunch Farms

Kiwi Crunch Farms Limited (Kiwi Crunch Farms) tenanted kiwifruit orchards in the Hawke’s Bay. On 7 July 2026, Kiwi Crunch Farms entered voluntary administration and

was subsequently placed into receivership. In late July 2026 the Receivers advised that they did not intend to adopt the existing lease agreements. Kiwi Crunch Farms

was placed in liquidation on 11 August 2026.

The Kiwi Crunch Farms leases represented approximately 5.8%* of NZRLI LP’s total current annual rental income and as at 30 June 2026 Kiwi Crunch Farms owed

NZRLI LP rent totalling approximately $0.7m. Management has engaged with prospective alternative tenants and purchasers in respect of the affected properties and

will update the market when appropriate on the outcome.

MM Forests

MM Forests Limited tenants forestry land in the central North Island representing approximately 2.7%* of NZRLI LP’s total current annual rental income. It has not had

external administrators appointed, and as at 30 June 2026 it owed NZRLI LP rent totalling approximately $0.3m.

South Island Orchards

South Island Orchards tenants apple orchards in Central Otago. On 24 July 2026, NZRLI LP completed the purchase from SI Orchards of a 79 hectares property that is

contiguous to NZL’s existing SI Orchards property and now represents 4.6%* of NZRLI LP’s total current annual rent income. The purchase price was approximately $8.5

million, with title passing to NZRLI LP on settlement.

Prior to settlement, $2.6 million of an advanced property settlement balance had been intended to be offset against the purchase price. To enable settlement to

complete and title to pass, NZRLI LP did not apply that offset and instead funded an equivalent amount at settlement. The $2.6 million remains separately owing to

NZRLI LP by SI Orchards Limited and the relevant guarantors.

South Island Orchards has not had external administrators appointed, and as at 30 June 2026 it owed NZRLI LP rent totalling approximately $0.2m.

Financial Impact

The ultimate financial impact of the appointment of administrators to Kiwi Crunch Farms remains unclear, as it will depend on the extent and timing of recovery of

amounts owing from NZRLI LP tenants referred to above (whether in administration or not), and the timing and terms of any replacement lease or sale arrangements.

Gearing

Key Banking Partners

In May 2026, NZL renewed two tranches of its existing banking facilities totalling $56.5m. The tranches, both due to expire on 1 June 2026, were extended for three

and four years. This increased NZL’s weighted average term to expiry of its facilities from 1.5 years at the end of FY25 to 2.3 years as at 30 June 2026.

At the start of the period NZL had hedging arrangements in place for 96% of its total borrowings. During HY26 $32m of interest rate swaps expired and were

replaced by a single $30m interest rate swap. As a result NZL’s hedging decreased from 96% to 91% of its total borrowings. The weighted average cost of NZL’s

hedged borrowings is 5.5%. NZL’s remaining debt is floating and the cost of the floating debt component is 4.6%. Accordingly, NZL’s weighted average cost of

debt is currently 5.4%.

HY26 SUSTAINABILITY HIGHLIGHTS

Climate Related Disclosures

Transparent and detailed climate reporting reflects NZL’s values, and we therefore intend to continue to prepare an annual climate statement despite proposed

changes to climate reporting legislation that would exempt the Company from this requirement.

Climate considerations are embedded in NZL’s acquisition strategy and capital deployment decisions. The Board conducted a dedicated transition planning

workshop in 2025 to refine the climate risk register and identify opportunities in carbon markets, sustainable land management, and nature-based solutions.

These initiatives support long-term asset value while contributing to New Zealand’s climate goals.

In April 2026 NZL released its third annual Climate Related Disclosure Report covering all of FY25. The report’s findings are outlined below:

GHG Emissions Profile

Total FY25 emissions of 96,511.15 tCO2e reflect NZL’s land-ownership model. While NZL does not directly operate facilities or own vehicles the FY25 GHG

inventory takes into account investments (leased properties), purchased goods and services, capital goods, and business travel. The FY25 inventory, for the first

time, included downstream leased assets, providing comprehensive value chain coverage.

Climate Scenario Analysis

NZL assessed three climate scenarios (1.5°C, 2.0°C, and 3.0°C warming pathways) to test portfolio resilience. The analysis confirmed that geographic and land-

use diversification remains central to managing climate-related risks. Key risks identified include increased water stress, extreme weather events, and regulatory

transition risks. The analysis reinforced the strategic value of NZL’s diversified portfolio across dairy, horticulture, and forestry.

Transition Plan

NZL has established a transition plan aligned with Science Based Targets guidance, targeting a 45.5% reduction in absolute emissions by 2035 from the FY24

base year. Priority actions include:

1. Supporting decarbonisation across the value chain through the Enduring Land for Life framework

2. Enhancing climate resilience through improved acquisition due diligence and climate mapping

3. Continuing portfolio diversification by geography, sub-sector, and tenant to reduce concentration risk

4. Advancing native regeneration and carbon sequestration programmes in partnership with forestry tenant Nateva

14
New Zealand Rural Land Company

SUSTAINABILITY PROGRAMME

NZL continues to work on mapping its current portfolio for marginal land which can be enhanced with planting and a programme to increase

biodiversity. The mitigation of erosion is a key outcome of this planting with potential for carbon sequestration and sediment control.

NZL has initiated work on several special projects across its portfolio. These include a solar pump upgrade (from diesel), improved effluent

systems on some farms, (budgeted capex at purchase) and native regeneration and predator control at NZL’s forestry estate in partnership with

our tenant New Zealand Forestry Leasing.

RENTAL GROWTH & FY26 FORECAST

NZL’s leases incorporate regular, uncapped, CPI reviews. Accordingly, inflation will

result in rental growth. Furthermore, NZL is insulated from inflation-impacted (and all

other operational) on-farm costs by owning only the land.

The positive impact of inflation continued in the first half of 2026, with a number of

leases successfully undergoing CPI review, these included:

• 7.3% of NZL’s pastoral leases were subject to review in 2026. CPI accumulated

since the leases began was +17.3%. The increased rent was payable from 1 June

2026 and will add an additional $181,130 to NZL’s income on an annualised

basis.

• 100% of NZL’s forestry assets were subject to rent review in the first half of

2026. CPI accumulated since the last rent review for these properties was

expected to be +3.1%. On an annualised basis this adjustment adds a further

$207,260 to NZL’s income.

In total 34.7%* of NZL’s leases (by value) were subject to CPI linked lease reviews in

the first half of FY26.

As advised on 9 July 2026 NZL has suspended its earnings guidance for FY26

in light of the liquidation of Kiwi Crunch Farms who comprise a material portion

of NZL’s rental income. NZL continues to negotiate sale and lease options for

effected properties and will provide updated guidance when the outcome of these

discussions becomes clearer.

DIVIDEND

Dividend

• In response to KPMG’s Capital Review NZL has adopted a revised

dividend policy targeting distributions of approximately 90-100% of AFFO,

paid quarterly, consistent with sector practice. The policy is designed to

provide greater predictability and transparency for shareholders and will

only be suspended in extreme circumstances.

• NZL paid a quarterly dividend of 1.34 cps in May 2026 and has resolved to

pay a second quarterly dividend of 1.34 cps. This brings the total dividend

for the half year to 2.68 cps*.

• Alongside the revised dividend policy, the Board has resolved to take

a more dynamic approach to the Dividend Reinvestment Plan (DRP).

The Board will confirm whether the DRP will apply at each dividend

announcement, having regard to the Group’s capital requirements and

any potential dilution to earnings and NTA. This approach broadly aligns

with other listed property vehicles in New Zealand.
