Sep-19: $60.2m
The Company reported an operating profit before tax of $55.2 million, down 8.4% on the same period last year. This reduction was driven by a decline in net rental income, due to the cost of COVID-19 related rental abatements.

In the six months to 30 September 2020, we recorded a net profit after tax of $54.2 million, up $17.5 million or 47.5% on the prior corresponding period. This significant increase was assisted by a fair value gain on the Company’s investment properties.
FY20: $3.1b
Our mixed use, office, retail and other investment properties were worth $3.2 billion as at 30 September 2020, including an $11.8 million fair value uplift. Kiwi Property’s office assets proved resistant to the economic impact of COVID-19, increasing in value by 4.4% to $950 million.

At the half year, Kiwi Property’s assets were 99.1% occupied, with a robust weighted average lease expiry of 4.7 years. In parallel, income from new leasing and rent reviews increased 1.5% overall, led by office (+3.6%).
Kiwi Property opened the 20,000 square metre Sylvia Park Level 1 expansion on 15 October 2020. Following the new $277 million addition, Sylvia Park now offers more than 250 stores and 5,000 free carparks, the most of any shopping centre in the country.
