Activity based fees were up +$1.7m to $3.2m driven by elevated development activity. Portfolios and Products SPL’s exposure to the four core commercial property sectors provides risk diversity across varying market conditions. SPL Office and Town Centre Portfolio (note 6) SPL has entered into a conditional development agreement with Auckland Council to acquire a 125-year pre-paid ground lease for $17.5m at North Wharf, located on the waterfront in Wynyard Quarter, Auckland. SPL has also partnered with central Tāmaki tangata whenua Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei as its cultural lead for the development. SPL proposes to develop the site over time into a 10,500sqm to 12,500sqm premium mixed-use retail and office development. The Red Shed will be preserved via adaptive reuse as part of the development. The development agreement is conditional on resource consent, which is anticipated to be obtained in 2027. The property is expected to provide a holding return of approximately 6% per annum prior to development. Auckland Council will continue to manage the property until settlement. SPL’s total office portfolio is valued at $706m as at 30 September 2025 (note 7). Within the office portfolio, Like-For-Like Rental Growth of +2.5% for HY26 across 32,000sqm. SPL has continued its strategy of upgrading its office assets, with 34 Shortland Street now largely complete following a comprehensive refurbishment, with rental levels completed ahead of budget. Stage 1 of the upgrade project at 215 Lambton Quay is complete, with stage 2 to follow over the next year. For SPL Town Centre, Like-For-Like Rental Growth of +0.5% across 10,000sqm was achieved. Specialty moving annual turnover (MAT) decreased by (3.9)% compared with the 12 months to 30 September 2024 (note 8) although month on month sales for September and October 2025 have seen a return to growth. The total SPL Town Centre portfolio is valued at $308m showing a +1.1% net gain for HY26 (note 7). Investore (note 6) Investore continued to deliver resilient operating earnings during HY26, while executing its strategic objectives of targeted growth and portfolio optimisation. Since 1 April 2025, Investore’s portfolio has grown to $1.1bn on a pro forma basis (+$135m on 31 March 2025) (note 9), primarily attributable to the acquisition of Bunnings New Lynn and the acquisition of Silverdale Centre (post balance date). These acquisitions have been funded by a combination of the sale of Woolworths Browns Bay for a premium to book value of +4.9%, and the issue of $62.5m of subordinated convertible notes. Post balance date, Investore went unconditional on the sale of Woolworths New Brighton at a price of +6.2% above the September 2025 book value. The new acquisitions are expected to deliver higher growth for Investore over the medium to long term, reflecting Investore’s strategic focus on repositioning its portfolio into properties located in key metro locations with stronger growth potential and greater tenant diversification. Like-for-Like Rental Growth of +4.1% across 19,000sqm of the Investore portfolio. Industre (note 6) Industre’s total portfolio is valued at $826m as at 30 September 2025, reflecting development activity and a net gain in fair value of the portfolio of +2.0% over HY26 (note 7). Industre has seen Like-for-Like Rental Growth of +3.8% across 75,000sqm for the period, with the potential reversion to market of +8.9%. 15% of net Contract Rental (note 10) is subject to market review or expiry over the next 18 months. Industre is continuing its strategy of developing quality properties with the completion of 16A Wickham Street, Hamilton, in October 2025 at a cost of $27m (excluding land) tenanted by Wattyl New Zealand. The development is targeting a 5 Green Star As Built rating and will deliver a 6% yield on cost (including land). The $30m (excluding land) development at 14-20 Favona Road, Auckland, is currently on time and within budget, targeting completion in early FY27. The development has an expected yield on cost of 6%+ (including land). Industre is also advancing its plans for the redevelopment of Patiki Road, with early works expected to commence in the new year. Post balance date, Industre also entered into an unconditional agreement for the sale of a non-core property, 8 Reg Savory Place, for $13.6m, representing a +13% premium to March 2025 book value. Diversified (note 6) Diversified delivered Like-For-Like Rental Growth of +2.5% across 24,000sqm of the portfolio. Total MAT increased by +2.1% compared with the 12 months to 30 September 2024 (note 8), with foot traffic up +3.6%. Occupancy has remained steady at 98% with gross occupancy costs also remaining steady at ~13% as at 30 September 2025, in line with 31 March 2025. Diversified’s total portfolio had a value of $410m as at 30 September 2025, in line with 31 March 2025 (note 7). Sustainability Stride remains committed to achieving its transition plan objectives, including the goal of attaining a 5 Green Star rating for all new developments and major refurbishments, as well as executing its carbon transition strategy to reduce scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions. Notable recent accomplishments include: • Submission of the GRESB 2025 report, resulting in a score of 79 out of 100, an improvement of +10 points over the 2024 submission • Implementation of energy efficiency software across Auckland office properties, targeting enhanced HVAC system performance and measurable energy savings. Capital Management In June 2025, SPL refinanced its syndicated banking facilities, extending debt maturities until FY30 and FY31, and securing competitive terms. As a result of SPL’s sale of the Silverdale Centre to Investore, the bank LVR is 32.1% (note 5) as at 30 September 2025 on a pro forma basis (note 3), and 22.9% on a balance sheet basis (note 4), also on a pro forma basis (note 3). Outlook Macroeconomic conditions remain soft, but we are encouraged to see the start of the positive impact of lower interest rates in confidence, activity and spending. Investment market activity is improving, albeit slowly. Our near-term focus is on growing income via SPL asset repositioning initiatives, capturing reversion and Industre’s development pipeline. Investore’s revised mandate broadens its opportunities for growth. Balance sheet headroom provides scope for investment in strategically aligned investments. The Boards of SPL and SIML confirm that, consistent with previous guidance, they are targeting a combined annual cash dividend for FY26 of 8.0cps. Notes: 1.
