HY25 Highlights

• AFFO grew from 1.94 cps in HY24 to 2.70 cps (+39.2%) in HY25. NZL forecasts FY25 AFFO of between 5.17

cps and 5.52cps (FY25 includes the impact of further CPI linked rental adjustments and the first full year of

higher yielding horticultural acquisitions);

• CPI linked rental increases of +13.8% on 18.2% of NZL’s portfolio took effect in June 2025. A further 29.2% of

NZL’s portfolio was subject to a +2.5% increase on 15 April 2025;

• On 7 March 2025 NZL acquired a 305 hectare, highly productive dairy farm in Canterbury;

• As part of the consideration for the aquisition NZL sold two pastoral farms at above book value/most recent

valuations. The transaction increases NZL’s total rental income by ~$290k a year;

• WALT was 12.3 years at HY25, a decrease of -1.6% from FY24 (12.5 years);

• 17,077 hectares of rural land now owned, a decrease of -2.4% from FY24 (17,503);

• Gearing lowered to 29.8% from 30.5% at HY24 (-2.3%);

• $40m of additional interest rate swaps increasing hedging from 65% to 81%;

• Interim dividend to be paid at ~80% of AFFO, equivalent to 2.16 cps the dividend will be paid in mid-October

2025. NZL will continue to offer a dividend reinvestment programme;

• NZL continues to operate an on-market share buyback programme, no shares were repurchased during the

period. 710,131 shares have been repurchased sincce the programme was initiated in June 2023;

• Net Asset Value (NAV) per share has grown from $1.25 at IPO to $1.589 at 30 June 2025 (+27.1%); and

• Net Tangible Assets (NTA) per share have grown from $1.25 at IPO to $1.606 at 30 June 2025 (+28.5%).

HY25 saw the addition of a blue chip asset to NZL’s portfolio, delivered effective risk management, decreased

gearing, and sustainable growth in rental income and dividends for shareholders.

Since the end of HY25, NZL has announced a capital review of the Company’s strategic options. At the time of

this announcement this process remains ongoing.

1. Reported figures include 100% of the earnings and assets of New Zealand Rural Land Investments Limited Partnership. NZL owns 75% of this

entity. AFFO and dividends are not reported on a consolidated basis and are 100% attributable to NZL.

Property Transactions

In the first half of the year, NZL announced the acquisition of a 305 hectare blue chip dairy property in Canterbury.

The acquisition increased NZL’s annual lease income by ~$290k. As part of the consideration for the aquisition

NZL sold two pastoral farms at above book value/most recent valuation.

In September 2025 NZL expects to settle the second tranche (79 hectares) of a 126 hectare apple orchard located

in Central Otago The first 47 hectare tranche of this property settled in FY24. Following settlement this property

will generate annualised first year rental income of $1.13m.

NZL now owns 17,077 hectares of rural land (25% of which is owned by Roc) with a 12.3 year WALT (by lease

value) and 100% occupancy across nine tenants. The portfolio displays meaningful sector, income and tenant

diversification, with forestry and horticulture now holding a 32% and 8% proportion of the company’s annual lease

income, dairy 50% and support 10%.

CPI Adjustments

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

the four tenants whose properties were subject to review in HY25. 30.2% of NZL’s dairy assets (18.2% of NZL’s

rent) was subject to CPI linked rental increases of +13.8% which took effect in June 2025. A further 34.4% of NZL’s

portfolio was subject to a +2.5% increase in the first half of the year. Reflecting this the portfolio’s total lease value

has increased by ~$750k or +3.3%. NZL’s dairy leases undergo CPI review every three years, in contrast to its

horticultural and forestry leases which undergo CPI review annually.

Dividend and Share Buyback Programme

NZL will pay an interim dividend of 2.16 cps in October 2025 representing ~80% of HY25 AFFO.

NZL’s intention has always been to pay regular semi-annual dividends. NZL’s amended dividend policy targets

a pay-out of 60% - 90% of AFFO. The pay-out range grants the company greater flexibility to deploy NZL’s cash

operating earnings in ways considered most beneficial to increasing shareholder value.

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.

The outlook for agriculture is positive with property prices forecast to continue increasing and higher commodity

prices improving the servicing ability of NZL’s tenants.

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

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

NZL continues to forecast FY25 AFFO of between $7.5m and $8.0m, this excludes earnings from properties with

put/call arrangements in place (~$1.4m).

Achieving FY25’s forecast means that NZL’s AFFO will have more than doubled in absolute terms since FY22. NZL

is targeting total AFFO of $9.4m by FY29 a +33.1% increase from FY24.

As previously announced the board has commenced a capital review process which it aims to complete and

announce any outcomes of by the end of the current financial year.

Location

In January 2025, the LP sold a portion of existing farm land in Manawatū-Whanganui for $0.5 million. The settlement was completed in

February 2025.

Net of amortisation.

Includes directly attributable acquisition costs.

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

Investment property is 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 2025, no properties were revalued.

In December 2024, the Group entered into a conditional agreement with a tenant which involves the acquisition of land in exchange for

transfer of property held for sale and cash. This agreement was settled in March 2025 as follows:

The Group acquired farm land in Canterbury valued at $15.5 million. The farm land was approximately 304 hectares and will be

leased to Spreadeagle Dairies Limited for 14 years, generating $0.9 million of income in year one of the lease agreement.

As part of the settlement, the LP have sold farm land of approximately 420 hectares valued at $10.9 million. This farm land was

classified as assets held for sale in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024.

The remaining settlement was funded 75% by the Company and 25% contributions from Land Trust.

A call option will be granted by the Group to the tenant such that it can purchase the land of the transferred leases for

approximately their current value. The option can be exercised on or before May 2027. This call option relates to properties that

have an accumulated value of $60 million (investment properties). Management do not believe that it is highly probable that the

call option will be exercised within the next 12 months and therefore have not treated the properties as held for sale.

The Group committed to capital projects of $2 million on land leased to the tenant. The completion of these projects will result in

a corresponding uplift in the lease payments.

Key Judgement

As at 30 Jun

2025

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 10% interest (4.66% interest compounding annually and the remaining 5.33% is paid out). 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.

Income tax expense

The Group has determined that these arrangements have the substance of loans with 10% market interest rates per annum. The loans

are secured by a General Security Deed and cross guarantee from certain tenant Group entities. The loan receivable balances have been

considered and determined no impairment is required at reporting date.

Derivative financial instruments, comprising interest rate swaps and milk swaps, are classified and measured at fair value through profit

or loss ("FVTPL"). Changes in fair value of such derivatives and gains or losses on their settlement are recognised in the Interim

Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income in finance income and expense.

Borrowings are recognised initially at fair value net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently classified and measured 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 using the effective interest method (refer to note 7). 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.

15.1Reconciliation of net profit after tax to adjusted funds from operations (AFFO)

6 month

period ended

30 June 2024

6 month

period ended

30 June 2025

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.

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.

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 period ended 30 June 2025 were $0.811 million (six months ended 30 June 2024: $0.662 million).

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; and

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 2025 will be calculated after the financial year end. The shares will be issued to

the Manager subsequent to balance date.

Transaction fees incurred for the period ended 30 June 2025 were $0.145 million and $0.03 million (year period 30 June 2024: $0.327

million and $0.12 million) in relation to the purchase and lease fee components (respectively). The purchase fee for the comparable

period was included in the initial carrying amount of the acquired investment property.

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

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.

The Group has no capital commitments as at 30 June 2025 (30 June 2024: nil).

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.

Financial Position is presented below:

On 7 March 2025, NZL acquired a 305ha, highly productive dairy farm located

in Canterbury. The transaction increases NZL’s total rental income by ~$290k

a year

1

.

As part of the consideration for the aquisition NZL sold two pastoral farms at

above book values/most recent valuations.

This represents the third instance of NZL selling properties and redeploying

capital. Every sale has been completed at above market value.

1. The property was acquired through a newly formed Limited Partnership 75% owned by NZL and 25% owned by Roc Partners

19 January 2024

Roc Partners acquire a 25% equity interest in NZL’s land portfolio for the equivalent of ~$1.29 per share

($44.2m), a +52% premium to NZL’s share price of $0.85 at the time of the transaction.

8 November 2024

Southern Orchards - the first tranche (47 hectares) of a 126 hectares of premium horticultural land in central

Otago. Consideration included of $3.5m worth of NZL shares issued at the prevailing NAV of $1.58 per

share. A +71.7% premium to NZL’s share price of $0.92 at the time of the transaction.

7 March 2025

NZL sold one dairy farm and one drystock farm at above market value. Acquired in 2021, the properties

were sold for a +10.9% premium to their original purchase price.

NZL used the funds from the sale of these properties to acquire a highly productive dairy farm.

OUTLOOK & FY25 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.

NZL has seen the positive impact of inflation in 2025, with many of its leases having

successfully undergone CPI review. Further CPI linked lease reviews took place in

the first half of FY25.

NZL forecasts FY25 AFFO of between $7.5m and $8.0m (Note: this excludes

earnings from properties with put/call arrangements in place). AFFO per share of

5.17 to 5.52 cents (Based on 145,024,724 shares on issue).

Dividend payout ratio in keeping with NZL’s new policy is 60-90% of AFFO.

The chart below shows NZL’s historical and forecast AFFO and AFFO/sh

performance (AFFO/sh CAGR of +20.4% p.a. since FY22).

8
New Zealand Rural Land Company

NZL’S CASH YIELD GROWTH

• NZL has increased AFFO on both an absolute and per share basis every year since listing and is forecast to continue to do so

1

. There should be a strong

correlation between cash yield and share price.

• By the end of FY25 NZL’s AFFO will have more than doubled on an absolute basis since FY22. Over the same period AFFO per share is forecast to have

increased +74.6% (per share growth has been achieved alongside a ~+29m increase in the number of shares on issue).

• NZL is forecasting AFFO of between $7.5m and $8.0m in FY25 a +9.8% increase from FY24.

• NZL has a minimum target AFFO of $9.4m by FY29 equivalent to annual growth of +5.0% per annum from FY26 onwards. The chart below illustrates NZL’s

historical and minimium target AFFO.

• Research from Craigs Investment Partners shows that listed property vehicles (LPV) prices have traditionally followed their dividend yield on a relative basis

and the sector is highly correlated with the relationship between the dividend yield and interest rates

2

.

• As increased AFFO will enable NZL to pay larger dividends, a higher dividend yield in a declining interest rate environment should make NZL an increasingly

attractive investment.

• If NZL were to trade at its current dividend yield of 3.9% its implied FY29 share price would be ~$1.30 a +27.5% increase

3

.

1. In order to facilitate a like-for-like comparison AFFO is shown as at 31 December in each preceding year (NZL changed its balance date from 30 June to 31 December in FY22).

Key Banking Partners

In May 2025, NZL renewed a $46m tranche of its existing banking facilities. The tranche originally due to expire on 1 June 2025 has been extended to 1 June 2028. The

extension of this tranche increases the weighted average term to expiry of NZL’s debt facilities to 2.0 years.

At the beginning of the period NZL had hedging arrangements in place for 65% of its total borrowings. During the period NZL hedged a further $40m of its

borrowings increasing its total hedging to 81% with an average cost of 5.7%. The remaining debt is floating and the cost of the floating debt component is 5.1%.

Accordingly, NZL’s weighted average cost of debt is currently 5.6%.

CLIMATE CHANGE REPORTING

• NZL released its annual Climate-Related Disclosures report on the 29th of April 2025 .

• The report represents a significant step in deepening our understanding of how climate change may affect our business over time. It also supports the

development of strategies to enhance the resilience of our portfolio.

• Climate considerations are embedded across our acquisition due diligence, investment prioritisation, and capital planning processes. Integrating climate

risk assessment is a recognised lever to optimise commercial value. We continue to work with external experts to further mature our approach to integrating

climate related risk into our decision-making process and capital deployment.

• At the heart of this work is the NZ Earth System Model — a cutting-edge, data-driven simulation platform often referred to as the ultimate “climate crystal

ball.”

• This high-resolution model integrates vast data sets and complex algorithms to simulate the dynamic interactions between Earth’s atmosphere, oceans, land,

and biosphere, alongside human activity. It enables NZL to anticipate and prepare for a range of future climate pathways with scientific precision.

• To inform strategic decisions, NZL interrogated climate risk maps downscaled to a 5km grid — providing asset-level insights into how climate change could

influence land performance and opportunity across its portfolio.

• Sustainable agriculture and forestry are both vital components of New Zealand’s national climate strategy, and we remain committed to aligning our

operations with the global drive to reduce emissions while contributing to a resilient, thriving local economy.

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.

Release of NZL’s sustainability programme - “Enduring Land for Life”. Visit our website www.nzrlc.co.nz for further detail.

SUSTAINABILITY HIGHLIGHTS

Native Forest Regeneration

NZL partners with its tenant New Zealand Forest Leasing which has a large nationwide carbon sequestration and native regeneration project underway. This

involves using pines as a “nurse crop” and using a variety of methods to ensure long-term native regeneration. The methodology of “Nurse Crop” coupled

with native regeneration has a two fold effect on sustainability. The Pinus Radiata nurse crop delivers unmatched early growth rates, sequestering atmospheric

greenhouses gases at high rates, which are the primary perpetrator in the global fight against climate change. Alongside exceptional carbon sequestration, the

fast growth rates create a forest canopy and starve out grass and weeds, creating an optimal micro-climate for shade tolerant native species to successfully

establish.

Particular active management initiatives to enable native regeneration include: Fire Management, Large Scale Intensive Pest Animal Control, Pest Plant Control

and Forest Health Monitoring.

NZFL are a best-in-class manager and execute the native regeneration on NZL’s properties. Their team mimic the natural regeneration process with techniques

such as enabling seed dispersal from existing native stands, planting natives and thinning the nurse crop canopy. As regeneration progresses, native bird and

insect species increase. These species are protected by NZFL’s active pest management program which is the largest in New Zealand.

Insights

New Zealand’s dairy sector is the backbone of the rural economy, and it’s financial

health directly impacts land leasing models like NZL’s. Insights from DairyNZ’s

economic tracker show what the average owner-operator experienced in the last

six seasons from FY19 to FY24 (it also includes a forecast for the current season,

FY25):

• Both breakeven milk price and the average payout received rose consistently,

with farms maintaining above the line profitability. FY25 is forecast to be the

most profitable in the last seven seasons.

• Rising expenses were driven by higher input costs, rising interest rates and

the tax burden associated with increased profiability.

• Profitable seasons allowed farmers to focus on improving financial stability,

with debt-to-asset ratios steadily declining.

These trends strengthen NZL’s business model by enhancing tenant financial

resilience and supporting stable lease payments. Additionally, improved

farm profitability increases long-term land values, further improving return to

shareholders.

New Zealand Rural Land Company

New Zealand’s carbon market is tightening, with emission unit availability set

to drop from 45 million to 21 million between 2025 and 2029, driving carbon

prices higher (announced 20 August 2024 - see chart below). Carbon prices

increased to c.$60 per ton in response to these changes. The government

has reversed some environmental policies, delaying agricultural emissions

pricing and lifting the oil and gas exploration ban. The Eurpean Union’s Carbon

Border Adjustment Mechanism will impact NZ exporters from 2026, requiring

compliance with new carbon levies. These shifts reflect a balancing act between

economic growth and climate commitments.

MARKET UPDATES

Carbon Price Holding SteadyDairy Payout at Record Highs

In March 2025, Fonterra reaffirmed its forecast 2024/25 season Farmgate

Milk Price of $10.00 per kilogram of milk solids (kgMS); with the forecast

range moving to $9.70 - $10.30 per kgMS. This is an improvement on

Fonterra’s final 2023/24 season Farmgate Milk Price of $7.83 kgMS.

Fonterra believes the rebalancing domestic market in Greater China and

the continued demand from countries in Southeast Asia is the driving force

behind Farmgate Milk Price recovery. Milk supply in the United States and

Europe is still being impacted by local factors while production in New

Zealand has increased.

the opportunity to reinvest the net proceeds of cash dividends payable on

some or all of their NZL shares into additional fully paid shares.

• NZL maintains a selective on-market buyback programme.
