$ 129.7 m Operating profit before tax
We delivered a solid operating performance during the 2020 financial year, with operating profit before tax climbing to $129.7m, underpinned by solid rental growth across asset classes. Operating profit before tax is a non-GAAP measure. Refer to the annual result presentation for definitions.
$ -186.7 m Net loss after tax
The decrease in the value of Kiwi Property’s investment assets caused a drag on the Company’s reported full year financial performance, turning an otherwise healthy operating result into a loss after tax of $186.7 million.
4.0 % Total rental growth
Rental growth increased 4.0% during the 2020 financial year, enabled by high quality assets and intensive asset management and leasing programme. Occupancy grew marginally to 99.5%, while the weighted average lease expire remained at a solid 4.9 years.
$ 186.8 m Net rental income
Net rental income grew 3.4% to $186.8m in the 2020 financial year. Rental income increased across all asset classes with office and mixed use the standouts at +7.3% and +5.0% respectively.
$ 2.01 b Total sales
In the year to 29-Feb-20, we recorded $2.01 billion in total retail sales, $1.80 billion of which came from shopping centre assets. Specialty sales increased to $13,200, up from $12,800 the year prior.
Due to COVID-19, we have been unable to collect sales data for the month of Mar-20 and have therefore shown annual statistics for the year ended 29-Feb-20.
$ 3.1 b Property portfolio value
The widespread economic uncertainty caused by COVID-19 prompted valuers to soften their assumptions, resulting in a $290 million, or 8.5%, write-down in the fair value of the Company’s property portfolio. The portfolio was valued at $3.1 billion as at 31 March 2020.
