‌Result summary
  • AFFO1 profit of $0.53m ($0.67m loss in FY24).

  • Total loss for the year net of tax of $5.70m (FY24 loss of

    $5.30m).

  • Net rental income of $4.92m, up $1.27m on the previous year, primarily due to the full year impact at Munroe Lane and rental straight lining over the life of the Auckland Council lease.

  • Result impacted by $7.16m of revaluation losses ($4.90m of losses in FY24).

  • 35 Graham Street sold on 29 November 2024 and all external bank debt repaid.

1. AFFO stands for 'Adjusted Funds From Operations', and is non-GAAP financial information, calculated based on guidance issued by the Property Council of Australia. Asset Plus considers that AFFO is a useful measure for shareholders and management because it assists in assessing the Company's underlying operating performance. This non-GAAP financial information does not have a standardised meaning prescribed by GAAP and therefore may not be comparable to similar financial information prescribed by other entities. The calculation of AFFO has been reviewed by Asset Plus' auditor, Grant Thornton New Zealand Audit Limited. A reconciliation of AFFO is set out in Appendix 1.

  • Munroe Lane net rental income represents a full year (the prior year represented 10.5 months), being an increase of $0.6m in net rent.

  • The increase in net rent was also impacted by a change in the rental straight lining approach (+$0.66m).

  • Property operating expenses also increased due to the full year impact at Munroe Lane offset by the Graham Street sale.

  • Management fees were marginally lower by $0.11 million, due to the impact of the 35 Graham Street sale.

  • Net finance costs were lower by $0.54 million as all debt was repaid immediately post the 35 Graham Street settlement.

  • The Munroe Lane unrealised revaluation loss recognised was $10.12 million due to a reduction in market rents and increased let up periods assumed by the valuer. There was a further $0.99 million recognised as a fair value loss due to the impact of rental straight lining

  • The 35 Graham Street fair value increased by $3.0 million due to the discount unwind up until settlement.

  • There are tax losses of ~$13.1 million. A deferred tax asset is recognised to the extent of the deferred tax liability, hence $12.2 million of tax losses are not recognised as a deferred tax asset.

  • The AFFO reconciliation and waterfall is appended.

  • Investment property comprises Munroe Lane ($107.0 million).

‌Outlook ‌Outlook
  • Key focus remains on successfully leasing the balance of the Munroe Lane development. Future costs associated with leasing will be funded from available cash reserves. Thereafter, we will look to sell Munroe Lane.

  • We wish to emphasise that the leasing of Munroe Lane will influence the timing of such decisions, while market conditions at the time are likely to dictate the ultimate outcome.

  • Any steps to sell Munroe Lane or to subsequently wind up the Company, will require shareholder approval, and we would likely anticipate asking shareholders to vote on both decisions at the same time.

  • A March 2025 quarter dividend of 0.20 cents per share has been declared with payment to be made on 13 June 2025. The dividend remains subject to quarterly review.
