$ 1.7 b Sales
Sales across Kiwi Property’s mixed-use portfolio rose 28.5% from the year before to $1.7b. Sylvia Park’s performance was particularly strong with sales of $889 million across the precinct, reinforcing its standing as New Zealand’s favourite shopping centre.
$ 203.7 m Net rental income
Kiwi Property’s net rental income rose 13.9% to $203.7 million in FY23, underpinned by the final release of COVID-19 rental abatement accruals that were no longer required. Operating profit before tax was also up, increasing 11.3% to $129.6 million.
5.2 % Total rental growth
The company’s property portfolio was 99.3% occupied at 31 March 2023. Rental growth was similarly robust, with leasing spreads on rent reviews and new leasing up 5.3% and 4.4% respectively, despite the challenging economic environment.
$ 227.7 m Net loss after tax
The challenging economic climate contributed to an unrealised 4.2% or $139.3m decrease in the fair value of the company’s investment portfolio in the second half of FY23, contributing to a full year net loss after tax of $227.7 million.
33.3 % Gearing
Kiwi Property continued to progress on its capital recycling programme over the past year, including the sale of Westgate Lifestyle Shopping Centre for $85.7 million in May 2023. Gearing was 33.3% on a pro-forma basis following this transaction.
