FY25 results have been compared to the unaudited results for the twelve-month period from 1 July 2023 to 30 June 2024, which we will
refer to as the prior comparable period, or ‘pcp’, which comprises the periods H2 2023 and FP24, unless otherwise noted. This differs from

PRESENTATIONS TO THE PROPERTY FOR INDUSTRY LIMITED ANNUAL MEETING
At 11.00am on Tuesday, 21 October 2025
<< Slide 1: WELCOME TO THE FY25 PFI ANNUAL MEETING >>
<< Dean Bracewell>>
Good afternoon, my name is Dean Bracewell, and I am the Chair of the Board of Directors
of Property for Industry Limited.
Welcome to the thirty second Annual Meeting of PFI and thank you for your attendance. I’m
pleased to welcome you all today, whether you're joining us here in person or online via the virtual
meeting platform.
Firstly, please switch your mobile phone to silent and in the case of an emergency, please follow the
green exit emergency doors out of the HSBC Meeting & Event Suites. The assembly areas are
located on Quay Street and the corner of Customs and Albert Streets depending on which exit is
chosen.
I record that the Notice of Meeting was sent to shareholders on Monday, 15 September 2025 and
we have a quorum present, so let’s get underway.
In order for this hybrid meeting to run smoothly, I would like to confirm how questions and
answers, and voting will work.
First, let’s deal with the procedure around questions and answers. I confirm that any shareholder
or appointed proxy is eligible to ask questions.
For those of you attending the meeting virtually, if you would like to submit a question, the Q&A
is always open so please feel free to submit questions throughout the meeting and these will be
addressed at the relevant time.
There will be time allocated for in-person attendees to ask questions during the course of the
meeting. We will try to get to as many of the questions as possible, but not all questions may be
able to be answered during the meeting. In this case, questions will be followed up after the
meeting.

to vote at this meeting, you will be able to cast your vote under the Vote tab. Once voting has
opened, you can submit your vote for each resolution. You can change your vote up until the time
I declare voting closed.
I now declare that voting is open on all items of business. I will give you a warning before I move
to close voting.

I will explain procedures for voting in person later in the meeting.
<< Slide 2: AGENDA >>
Here is the agenda.
I will start with a few remarks, before handing over to our CEO, Simon Woodhams.
You will then have the opportunity to ask questions or to make comments about the materials

informal chat with the Board and Management Team after the meeting.
<< Slide 3: BOARD PRESENTATION >>
<< Slide 4: DISCLAIMER >>
Before we get into the substance of today’s presentations, I would like to point out that during the
course of our presentations, our FY25 results have been compared to the unaudited results for
the twelve-month period from 1 July 2023 to 30 June 2024, which we will refer to as the prior
comparable period, or ‘pcp’, which comprises the periods H2 2023 and FP24, unless otherwise
noted. This differs from the financial statements, which present FP24 as the comparative period
for FY25, in accordance with applicable accounting standards.
<< Slide 5: INTRODUCTIONS >>
Let me start with some introductions. With me here in the room today are:
▪ Simon Woodhams, Chief Executive Officer,
▪ Angela Bull, Independent Director,
▪ Carolyn Steele, Independent Director,
▪ David Thomson, Independent Director,
▪ Anthony Beverley, Independent Director,
▪ Jeremy Simpson, Independent Director, and finally
▪ Craig Peirce, Chief Finance and Operating Officer.
We also have several other members of the PFI team in the room here with us, and welcome
representatives from our auditors, PricewaterhouseCoopers, our external legal counsel,
Chapman Tripp, our bond supervisor, Public Trust, and our share registrar, Computershare, to
the meeting today.
<< Slide 6: ANTHONY BEVERLEY >>
We have signalled for some time, and more recently formally announced to the market, that
Anthony Beverley will be retiring as a Director of PFI at the conclusion of this Annual Meeting.
Today, my fellow Directors and I would like to recognise Anthony’s exceptional contribution as a
NZX and media
announcement

Director of PFI for more than two decades. Since his appointment as a Director in 2001, Anthony
has played a pivotal role in positioning PFI for sustained growth, while steering the company
through a number of quite different economic cycles. On a personal level, I have greatly valued
Anthony’s wisdom and experience, particularly following the transfer of the position of Chair from
Anthony to myself in 2023. On behalf of the Board, I wish to place on record, our
acknowledgement of Anthony’s key role in shaping PFI’s growth story over the last 24 years.
I would also like to note that the Board has determined earlier today that Angela Bull will be filling
the vacancy left by Anthony on the Audit and Risk Committee, and this appointment will take
effect from the close of today’s meeting.
Anthony, before you sign off from the Board today, would you like to say a few words?
<< Anthony Beverley>>
<< Dean Bracewell>>
Thank you Anthony.
<< Slide 7: CHAIR’S ADDRESS (1) >>
Turning now to my comments on PFI’s performance and the outlook for the year ahead.
We entered the financial year anticipating that we would be operating in challenging conditions,
given the mood in the economy. While those predictions turned out to be largely correct, the Board
has been very pleased with PFI’s performance, and the delivery of a strong result, which reflects
our strategic positioning and the resilience of our core industrial portfolio.
I’ll leave our CEO Simon Woodhams to step through our FY25 results in more detail in a moment,
but at a headline level, we were delighted to have grown our earnings to enable an increase in
FY25 cash dividends to 8.60 cents per share, which was an increase of 0.30 cents per share or
around 3.6% on our annualised FP24 dividends.
This result is reflective of the Board’s conviction that investing in industrial property, and managing
that investment with a clear strategy and prudent risk settings, can deliver reliable growth for
investors, through a variety of market conditions.
We recognise that many New Zealand businesses, including some of our tenants, have been
operating in a challenging environment in the last couple of years. However, industrial property is
an asset class that has consistently proven its ability to weather difficult economic conditions. For
NZX and media

PFI, that has meant that we’ve been able to deliver an average annual total return, meaning the
change in share price combined with all dividends reinvested, of around 9.35%, since our
inception in 1994. Since 2012, we’ve also recorded average dividend growth in excess of 2% per
annum.
These strong and consistent levels of growth have arisen from having the hard-working industrial
sector at the core of what we do. PFI has and continues to invest in high quality industrial buildings
located in the most in-demand locations. These assets are well leased, well maintained and
attract strong tenant demand. The result is a portfolio that is running at 99.9% occupancy and has
achieved consistent rental growth over a long period of time.
<< Slide 8: CHAIR’S ADDRESS (2) >>
More importantly, the Board and Management Team is optimistic about the year ahead and our
ability to continue delivering for investors.
In particular, in recent months, we have observed the valuation cycle turning and floating interest
rates nearing projected cycle-lows, which suggests that the operating environment has become
increasingly supportive.
For PFI, our focus during the next 12-24 months is on continuing to elevate the strength of our
existing portfolio to deliver higher returns over the long term.
While we have made good progress over the last 12 months in closing the under-renting gap in
PFI’s existing portfolio, opportunities still exist to capture significant growth as scheduled market
rent reviews take place with our tenants. Against a backdrop of very low lease expiries in FY26,
we are well placed to secure strong results on these rent reviews.
In addition to our stablished portfolio, where we’ve continued to progress sustainability initiatives,
development projects such as the multi-stage Springs Road project and the upcoming Spedding
Road project represent strategic opportunities for PFI to develop high quality, 5 Green Star rated
industrial estates in highly desirable industrial precincts. By continuing to regenerate in a sensible
and measured way, we’re setting PFI up to meet the needs of industrial tenants both now and in
the future.
Shareholder return has always been core to PFI’s purpose and steady growth in dividends is a
key part of that, and is central to how we measure our success to you, our shareholders. Many of
you will be aware that in early August, we guided to expected cash dividends of at least 8.90
cents per share in FY26, which would represent an increase of at least 0.30 cents per share or
NZX and media

3.5% on FY25 dividends. This guidance reflects the confidence that the Board has in our strategy
and the ability of our talented Management Team to execute that strategy for the benefit of our
shareholders.
I’ll hand over now to our CEO Simon Woodhams, and look forward to rejoining you later in the
meeting for further discussion and agenda items.
<< Slide 9: MANAGEMENT TEAM PRESENTATION >>
<< Simon Woodhams >>
Thanks Dean, and good afternoon, everyone.
Once again, it’s nice to be able to join you and reflect on the period to 30 June 2025. Welcome
back to those who regularly attend these meetings, and a warm welcome if you are joining us for
the first time.
As a Management Team and Board, we really enjoy being able to present to, and meet with
shareholders, so let’s started.
I’ll start by delving further into the highlights of FY25, outlining continued progress in the
sustainability space and then take a deeper look at some of our key development projects, all of
which are playing pivotal roles in shaping our trajectory.
<< Slide 10: RESULTS HIGHLIGHTS >>
Echoing Dean’s earlier comments, I was pleased with PFI’s performance in the 12 months to 30
June 2025, and the strong platform that we have to continue delivering for our shareholders.
We reviewed around $73.2m of contract rent during FY25 and those reviews delivered an average
annualised uplift of 5.3%. In addition, around $7.9m of contract rent was leased during FY25 at
an average of 20.1% above previous contract rents. We also secured high levels of early
renewals, which results in just 1.2% of contract rent due to expire in FY26.
This contributed to a strong financial performance, where we reported profit after tax of $106.0m,
up $152.1m on the pcp, incorporating fair value gains on properties of $70.7m, as compared to
losses of $90.0m in the pcp. These independent valuations contribute to PFI’s industrial property
portfolio being valued at $2.17 billion at 30 June, up around 3.4% on the pcp.
NZX and media
announcement
—
21 October 2025

Net rental income of $108.0m was up around 12.7% on the pcp, while adjusted funds from
operations or AFFO earnings of 9.59 cps, were up around 8.1% up on the pcp.
Finally, we paid cash dividends for the period of 8.60 cents per share, which as Dean mentioned
earlier, was up 3.6% on annualised FP24 cash dividends. This equates to a rolling three-year
AFFO dividend pay-out ratio of 91%, which is well within the parameters of the Board’s dividend
policy.
<< Slide 11: PORTFOLIO SNAPSHOT >>
Throughout the period, we took further steps to improve our key portfolio metrics and set out on
this slide is a snapshot of the very healthy position that we’re sitting in at 30 June.
We continue to own 91 properties, occupied by 126 tenants – consistent with the numbers that
we had 12 months ago. While we’re always on the lookout for properties that will enhance our
portfolio at attractive values, we found that during the year, opportunities that would generate
sufficient returns were few and far between. Instead, we focused on investing in our own
developments as a use of capital that better suited the conditions that we were operating in.
As you can see on the slide on the screen now, contract rent increased around 12.6% to $112.3m
for the year, driven by strong leasing and rent review outcomes, together with the completion of
several development projects.
However, it’s perhaps the occupancy and weighted average lease term (or WALT) metrics that
we’re most proud of. As Dean mentioned earlier, it’s no secret that economic conditions have
been difficult for many over the last 12 months. Despite these conditions, we increased our
portfolio occupancy from 98.6% to 99.9% and extended out our WALT from 5.07 years to a shade
under five and a half years. These metrics demonstrate that PFI has performed strongly in
attracting and retaining high quality tenants, who are often happy to renew their leases early.
<< Slide 12: SUSTAINABILITY (1)>>
Sustainability has continued to be core to our activities during FY25 and we’re pleased with our
progress against our sustainability strategy. Highlights for the year included:
• Achieving 5 Green Star Design ratings for the completed new buildings at our Bowden
Road and Springs Road developments.
• Being recognised in the Sustainable Property category at the Property Council Awards,
with an excellence award for the Bowden Estate and a merit award for the Fisher &
Paykel Appliances Building at Springs Road.

• Commencing construction at Stage 2 of Springs Road, which is also targeting a 5 Green
Star rating. I’ll discuss this development in more detail shortly.
• Installing solar at a further three buildings and achieving our solar installation target.
• Achieving Green Star Energy and Water Pathway Performance certification on a portfolio
of four buildings for the first time. Green Star Performance is a sustainability rating tool
for existing buildings as opposed to new buildings; and
• Finally, achieving our target to have power metering and monitoring installed at 90% of
our properties.
<< Slide 13: SUSTAINABILITY (2)>>
With the progress made during the year, we met the solar and metering targets that we set in
2022, so we completed a scheduled refresh of our sustainability strategy, and set several new
targets towards the end of the financial year. Our new targets are set out on this slide, and will
help to guide us in the coming years. Our current targets now include:
• Continuing to target 5 Green Star certification for our significant new buildings;
• Aiming to double our solar capacity across the portfolio in the next two years; and
• A new target to increase the LED lighting in our portfolio, with a view to increasing the
energy efficiency of our core portfolio.
In summary, we’re committed to continued progress in the sustainability space, and recognise that
this is an area that is critical to our ongoing ability to attract and retain high-quality tenants.
<< Slide 14: CAPITAL MANAGEMENT>>
From a capital management perspective, we went back to the bond markets for the first time since
2018, with a $150m retail bond offer that was well received and significantly over-subscribed.
At year-end, our gearing sat at about 33%, with almost $320m of headroom available on existing
facilities provided by a syndicate of supportive lenders. Our weighted average cost of debt has also
dropped significantly over the last 12 months, in line with more favourable interest rate conditions.
In summary, our balance sheet and funding arrangements leave us well placed to execute on our
strategy.
So, with those highlights in mind, for the remainder of my presentation I would like to shift our focus
to our key development projects, including our expanded pipeline of projects, that continue to be
a core focus for the PFI team.
<< Slide 15: DEVELOPMENT OVERVIEW >>
NZX and media
announcement
—
21 October 2025

PFI currently has three exciting developments at varying stages of planning and execution.
We have deliberately staggered our development pipeline so that developments make up around
5% to 15% of our portfolio at any one time, and can be delivered in a way that appropriately
balances commercial drivers with appropriate risk settings.
Working through the slide currently on screen, during FY25, we were pleased to complete the final
stage of our Bowden Road development, and now have a 5 Green Star rated core asset that is
leased to high quality tenants in Tokyo Food and Daikin Air Conditioning.
We also completed Stage 1 of our development at 78 Springs Road, and are well underway with
Stage 2 of that project. We’re also actively progressing planning on several development
opportunities at Spedding Road in Whenuapai and Harris Road in East Tamaki.
<< Slide 16: 78 SPRINGS ROAD >>
In the last couple of years, we’ve provided shareholders with frequent updates of our multi-stage
project at Springs Road and we’re delighted with the continued progress being made.
In October 2024, Stage 1 of the redevelopment of 78 Springs Road was successfully delivered,
followed by the commencement of a 15-year lease to blue-chip tenant, Fisher and Paykel
Appliances.
Part of Stage 2 has been pre-leased to MiTek on a 12-year lease, with construction well underway
and tracking both under-budget and ahead of programme.
On screen now, you can see a render for the plans at Stage 2 of Springs Road, along with some
of the key development metrics.
The balance of the site, being Stage 3, could see the development of a warehouse of around
17,500 square metres, with timing on that development likely to be tenant lead. We’ll continue to
keep you updated on this as our plans firm up.
<< Slide 17: SPEDDING ROAD >>
Turning now to Spedding Road. Titles for the 5.8 hectares of greenfield land at that site are
expected to be delivered in the coming months. This property provides us with the opportunity to
invest a total of ~$140 million into a new industrial estate in a part of Auckland that we believe is
NZX and media
announcement
—
21 October 2025
10
severely under-supplied with both industrial zoned land and industrial buildings of quality of scale.
Assuming we receive titles in the anticipated timeframe, we expect to take advantage of favourable
construction market conditions to start the first stage of construction in the first quarter of the 2026
calendar year, while working in parallel to achieve tenant commitment. We’ve set out some of the
key development metrics for Stage 1 on this slide.
As can be seen from the render on this slide, the flexible, multi-unit layout is designed to appeal to
a broad range of occupiers, particularly those seeking smaller, high-quality warehouse space.
Consistent with our Sustainability Strategy, we’ll be looking to achieve a 5 Green Star rating for
this building.
<< Slide 18: 92- 98 HARRIS ROAD >>
PFI is the long-standing owner of a property at 92-98 Harris Road, over which the lease was
surrendered post balance-date, around three years early, by the tenant, in return for a surrender
fee of approximately $5 million. Alongside the receipt of these funds, this has unlocked and
accelerated access to a site that we have long earmarked for future development.
92-98 Harris Road is a prime 2.63 hectare site, which currently only has 27% site coverage, and
obsolete buildings, which help to make it an attractive development proposition.
While we’re still working through design and feasibility options, early concepts suggest it could
support a 14,500 square metre warehouse, again with a targeted 5 Green Star rating.
For now, the site will be cleared and secured, and we’ll continue progressing plans in parallel.
In summary, each of these developments and opportunities position us for sustained growth and
value creation in the coming years, and the team and I are really looking forward to sharing further
progress updates with you in future meetings.
<< Slide 19: POST BALANCE DATE UPDATE >>
While the key focus of today’s meeting is to reflect on PFI’s performance in the 12 months to 30
June, and tend to the more formal agenda items later in the meeting, we’d also like to give
shareholders a brief update of PFI’s key activities over the first three months of FY26.
As at 30 September, our portfolio remains 99.9% occupied, our WALT has remained stable at 5.23
years, and our cash collections have remained very healthy over the first three months of the year.
NZX and media

—
21 October 2025
11
As I signalled earlier in this presentation, we have very low levels of lease expiry in FY26, which
has meant that there have been reasonably low levels of new leasing activity in the first part of the
year.
However, other notable highlights and milestones over the last three months have included:
• the continued progress of Stage 2 at Springs Road, with some recent images of the
building pre-leased to MiTek currently showing on screen; and
• the settlement of a bolt-on acquisition at Norris Avenue, Te Rapa, Hamilton, which is now
leased to the same tenant who occupies PFI’s adjacent property on Te Rapa Road. This
bolt-on acquisition provides greater scale and future optionality for PFI, in a desirable
industrial location within the “Golden Triangle”, comprising Auckland, Waikato and Bay
of Plenty.
We were also pleased to release our third Climate-related Disclosures to the market in September,
which was also the first time that part of our greenhouse gas emissions have been subject to an
external assurance process. While this is a detailed and intensive process, the Board and
Management have found the process helpful in helping to continue to shape and refine our
Sustainability Strategy.
<< Slide 20: LOOKING AHEAD >>
In conclusion, I want to reiterate our commitment to delivering for our shareholders and other
stakeholders.
As Dean mentioned earlier, PFI’s Board has set dividend guidance for FY26 of at least 8.90 cents
per share in FY26. This equates to an increase of at least 3.5% on FY25 dividends, which is entirely
consistent with our strategy of delivering higher returns to shareholders over the long-term.
With a strong industrial portfolio now valued at around $2.17 billion and clear growth opportunities
ahead, PFI is well positioned to deliver those higher returns for our shareholders.
Just before I hand back to Dean, I would also like to take a moment to acknowledge the retirement
of Anthony Beverley as a PFI Director. His contribution has been significant over many years and
I have greatly appreciated his input and approach during my tenure at PFI. Ant, I wish you well in
your retirement.
Finally, I would also like to take a moment to thank you, our shareholders and other stakeholders,

who continue to support PFI. As a Management Team and Board, we look forward to continuing
to repay that support, well into the future.
Thank you.

The fifth, and final resolution, is “That the Directors are authorised to fix the remuneration of the
Directors of the Company from the close of this meeting as per the table shown in the Explanatory
Notes of the Notice of Meeting.”
In setting the proposed rates, the Board commissioned an independent review of the current level
of Directors’ fees by Ernst & Young. A summary of Ernst & Young’s report has been made available
to shareholders on PFI’s website. In requesting this review and setting the proposed Directors’
fees to be put to shareholders, the Board has also taken into account the increasing complexity,
time commitments and responsibilities required of its Directors at a Board and Committee level,
together with the performance of the Company.
The proposed rates are set out in the Notice of Meeting, and if resolution 5 is approved by
shareholders today, the set rates will apply from the close of this meeting.
The fifth resolution is “That the Directors be authorised to fix the remuneration of the Directors of
the Company from the close of this meeting as per the table shown in the Explanatory Notes.”
Is there any discussion?
Please mark your voting papers for resolution five, or for virtual attendees, select your voting choice
from the options shown under the “Vote” tab on your screen.
We will just give you all a moment to finalise voting, and then I will close the poll.
