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).

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

.

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.

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.

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.

is currently the only pure-
play listed exposure to
New Zealand rural land.
NZL provides inflation
hedging and stable income
via CPI-linked leases
(uncapped).
NZL’s strategy is to
continue to grow its
portfolio, both in dairy
and other attractive
agricultural opportunities,
to ultimately provide scale
and diversified exposure to
high quality New Zealand
rural land.
NAV per share has grown
by +27.1% since NZL’s IPO.
NZL has paid/declared
a total of 9.64 cps in
dividends. Total company
returns have been +34.8%

.
Farmland does not
typically experience the
same volatility that mark
economic changes. It
usually experiences
peaks and plateaus
– appreciating at an
attractive rate when
times are positive but not
necessarily retreating when
conditions are tough, this
is driven by its increasing
scarcity.
