COVID-19 HY21 Tenant-Customer Negotiations

Overview

Direct Property Investment Portfolio

  • National Code of Conduct required landlords to provide rent relief to SMEs impacted by COVID-19

  • SMEs represent 8.7% of total gross passing income in the Australian property portfolio. Not all were impacted by COVID-19

  • Cromwell’s in-house model means we benefitted from strong pre-existing relationships with, and knowledge of, tenantcustomers before COVID-19

  • All tenant-customers were directly engaged with by Cromwell employees, agreements were bespoke and agreed on a case-by-case basis

  • All negotiations have been concluded and finalised

  • A six month deferral was agreed with Qantas for their April to September 2020 rental. Qantas have since commenced paying rent and have a lease expiry of December 2032

  • By gross passing income

  • Includes Government owned and funded entities

Monthly Portfolio Footfall over Pandemic [1]
----- End of picture text -----

  • Footfall bounced back quickly to 80%+ after each lockdown with overall footfall at 79% of 2019. Anecdotal evidence that average spend per visit increased on 2019

  • In Poland there was no right to a rental waiver. The uncollected or deferred rent must be paid usually via a lease extension

  • 311 variation requests in total (excl. Ursynow) with 271 agreed and 40 being negotiated. Deals extended portfolio WALE by 0.4 years with an average increase of 0.7 years for the tenantcustomers where agreements have been met

  • Despite challenging circumstances of 35 lease expiries in 2020 (excl. Ursynow), only 2 tenant-customers voluntarily vacated at lease expiry illustrating the desirability of the assets

  • Total collections remained strong throughout at 95% for period from 1 March to end December (note there is usually a lag on collections so December number will increase over time)

  • However a conservative credit loss provision of €1.4 million has been made in relation to tenant-customer receivables

Tenant-Customer Focus

  • Cromwell has been focused on providing safe workplaces for all tenant-customers in accordance with relevant guidelines

  • Occupancy rates have been driven by government and individual company policies and recent lockdowns

  • Cromwell’s occupancy rates per state are similar to those surveyed by the Property Council of Australia albeit occupancy in its Canberra assets are closer to pre-COVID levels

  • Occupancy is not expected to return to ‘normal’ levels until vaccination programmes have substantially completed

Creating COVID safe workplaces

Outlook

FY21 Guidance

  • The roll out of vaccination programmes provides confidence that COVID-19 impacts will gradually become more manageable over time

  • However the economic and social impacts of the pandemic will continue to cause uncertainty and dislocation for the rest of 2021 and are likely to impact market activity and the timing of related transactional and performance fees

  • Cromwell therefore provides updated FY21 distribution guidance of 7.00 cps, 0.50 cps below previous guidance

  • Guidance is subject to changes in economic conditions, the continuing impact of COVID-19 on markets and the effectiveness of vaccination programmes and responses by various governments

  • HY21 distributions of 3.75 cps have been paid, meaning distributions of 3.25 cps are now forecast to be paid for the remainder of FY21

  • Based on FY21 guidance of 7.00 cps and a closing security price of $0.82 as at 24 February 2021 this represents a forecast distribution yield of 8.54%
