Commentary
Introduction
Hyprop, Africa’s leading specialist shopping centre Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT), operates a portfolio of
shopping centres in major metropolitan areas across South Africa (SA), sub-Saharan Africa (excluding SA) and 
South-Eastern Europe. 

Hyprop’s strategy is to own dominant, quality shopping centres in emerging markets, where such assets can be acquired
or developed at attractive yields. 

The shopping centre portfolio in South Africa includes super-regional centre Canal Walk, large regional centres
Clearwater Mall, The Glen Shopping Centre, Woodlands Boulevard, CapeGate Shopping Centre, Somerset and Rosebank Malls, 
and regional centre Hyde Park Corner.

The sub-Saharan African portfolio (excluding SA) includes interests in Accra Mall, West Hills and Achimota Retail
Centre (all in Accra, Ghana), Manda Hill Centre in Lusaka, Zambia and Ikeja City Mall in Lagos, Nigeria.

During the year Hyprop expanded into South-Eastern Europe, with the acquisition of a 60% interest in Delta City
Belgrade, Serbia and Delta City Podgorica, Montenegro.

Financial results
Hyprop has declared a dividend of 322,1 cents per share for the six months ended 30 June 2016, an increase of 14,9% on
the corresponding period in 2015. The total distribution for the year of 619,9 cents per share is an increase of 14,2%
on the prior year.

Distributable earnings for the year benefited from the inclusion of income from recently acquired Ikeja City Mall in
Nigeria (November 2015), Delta City Podgorica in Montenegro (February 2016) and Delta City Belgrade in Serbia 
(April 2016), as well as the opening of Achimota Retail Centre, in Accra, Ghana (October 2015). Distributable earnings 
were further increased by exchange rate gains due to Rand weakness and from the inclusion of income from the redeveloped 
Rosebank Mall for the full period.

Ongoing and effective cost control in the South African portfolio contributed to a marginal improvement in the
investment property cost-to-income ratio, on the net and gross basis.

Retail vacancies reduced to 0,8% (30 June 2015: 1,3%), primarily due to new lettings at Somerset Mall, Willowbridge
and Somerset Value Mart. Vacancies in the office portfolio also reduced, largely due to new lettings at Lakefield 
Office Park and Hyde Park offices.

Investment property was valued at 30 June 2016 at R27,7 billion (30 June 2015: R26,2 billion), an increase of 5,8%.
The increase in value was primarily due to income growth.

Developments 
Projects currently under construction and due for completion in the next financial year include the installation of
H&M at Somerset Mall (R15,8 million) and Checkers at Atterbury Value Mart (R31 million). 

During the year a total amount of R178 million was spent on capital projects, new equipment and tenant installations.

Extensions to the shopping centres with an estimated project cost of R167 million are in planning.

Disposals
Agreements have been reached for the disposal of Somerset Value Mart and Glenfield Office Park for R185 million and
R180 million respectively. Transfer of Somerset Value Mart is imminent, while transfer of Glenfield Office Park is 
subject to approval from competition authorities. The proceeds from both disposals will be applied to reduce debt.

Efforts to dispose of Willowbridge Centre and the remaining standalone office buildings are continuing.

 2 Hyprop share of distributable earnings is reflected after interest on in-country debt and after interest 
   on corporate debt 

Distributable earnings from the investments in sub-Saharan Africa (excluding SA) increased by 97,4% to R83,7 million,
in part due to income from West Hills Mall (Accra, Ghana - effective November 2014), Achimota Retail Centre (Accra,
Ghana - effective November 2015) and Ikeja City Mall (Lagos, Nigeria - effective November 2015). 

Distributable earnings from the investments in sub-Saharan Africa (excluding SA) benefited from exchange rate gains of
R15,9 million.

Investments in sub-Saharan Africa (excluding SA) to date total R4,3 billion (excluding in-country debt in Nigeria) and
are financed with US Dollar bank funding.

 2 Hyprop share of distributable earnings is reflected after interest on corporate debt   

The purchase of Delta City Podgorica (Montenegro) was effective in February 2016, while the purchase of Delta City
Belgrade (Serbia) was effective in April 2016. Implementation of the acquisition is progressing well and income is in line
with expectations.

The purchase consideration for Delta City Podgorica has been paid in full, while EUR49,3 million of the total purchase
consideration relating to Delta City Belgrade has been delayed, pending the fulfilment of certain conditions. 

Notwithstanding the delay in payment, all net property income from Delta City Belgrade has accrued to the purchasers
from the effective date in April 2016. It is anticipated that the outstanding amount will be paid in September 2016.

The Delta City acquisitions were funded with Euro-denominated bridge funding, supported by a guarantee from Hyprop.
The bridge funding will be refinanced within twelve months following the initial draw-down of the bridge loan. The
long-term funding for the transaction will be at a higher cost than the bridge funding. It is anticipated that the 
long-term funding of the transaction will be in place from February 2017.

The delay in payment of the final tranche of the purchase consideration for Delta City Belgrade, as well as the lower
cost of funding for the bridge loan, are both once-off benefits to Hyprop in the 2016 financial year and the first half
of the 2017 financial year.

Net asset value
The net asset value (NAV) per share at 30 June 2016 increased by 6,1% to R94,50 (30 June 2015: R89,04). The increase
was primarily due to an increase in the independent valuation of the investment property portfolio. 

At 30 June 2016, the closing share price of R129,89 represented a premium of 37,4% to the NAV per share.

   (Lagos, Nigeria)                                 
 2 The Euro debt, which relates to Hyprop’s effective 60% interest in the 
   South-Eastern European shopping malls, is not consolidated on the Hyprop 
   statement of financial position.                                 

The Rand equivalent of US Dollar-denominated bank debt increased due to the acquisition of Ikeja City Mall, ongoing
development activity in AttAfrica and Rand depreciation against the US Dollar. 

The loan-to-value (LTV) ratio at 30 June 2016 increased to 30,8% (30 June 2015: 22,9%), largely due to the inclusion
of the funding of Hyprop’s effective 60% share of the Delta City Malls (Serbia and Montenegro) as well as the funding
of Hyprop’s 75% share of Ikeja City Mall (Lagos, Nigeria).

The debt to acquire the Delta City Malls comprises short-term bridge funding and the interest rate has therefore not
been fixed.

Subsequent to year-end, a maturing South African bank facility amounting to R1,2 billion was refinanced with DCM
funding (three, four and five-year corporate bonds). This has increased the ratio of DCM funding to total debt to
approximately 25%. All of Hyprop’s DCM funding is unsecured.

Net interest costs for the period of R394,3 million (30 June 2015: R417,2 million) reduced due to non-core asset sales
in the second half of the 2015 financial year, amounting to R833 million (Stoneridge and CapeGate Value and Lifestyle
centres), the proceeds of which were applied to the repayment of debt.

Subsequent to year-end, 5,2 million new shares were issued at R135 per share. The issue of new shares after year-end,
but prior to the record date for the final distribution resulted in an antecedent dividend amounting to R32,1 million.
In accordance with industry best practice, the antecedent dividend has been added back in the calculation of
distributable earnings for the year.

The proceeds of the equity issue will be applied to the reduction of Rand-denominated debt and to ongoing capital
expenditure in the South African portfolio.

Prospects
Hyprop expects dividend growth of approximately 10% for the full year to 30 June 2017. This guidance is based on the
following key assumptions:
- Forecast investment property income is based on contractual rental escalations and market-related renewals;
- Appropriate allowances for vacancies have been incorporated into the forecast; 
- No major corporate and tenant failures will occur; and
- Earnings from offshore investments will not be materially impacted by exchange rate volatility.

The forecast has not been reviewed or reported on by the company’s auditors.

Payment of dividend
All rental income earned by the company, less property expenses and interest on debt, is distributed to shareholders
semi-annually. 

A dividend of 322,10 cents per share for the six months ended 30 June 2016 will be paid to shareholders as follows:

                                                            2016    
   Last day to trade cum dividend          Tuesday, 27 September    
   Shares trade ex dividend              Wednesday, 28 September    
   Record date                              Friday, 30 September    
   Payment date                                Monday, 3 October    

Shareholders may not dematerialise or rematerialise their shares between Wednesday, 28 September 2016 and Friday, 
30 September 2016, both days inclusive. Payment of the dividend will be made to shareholders on Monday, 3 October 2016. 
In respect of dematerialised shareholders, the dividend will be transferred to the CSDP accounts/broker accounts on Monday,
3 October 2016. Certificated shareholders’ dividend payments will be deposited on or about Monday, 3 October 2016.

An announcement relating to the tax treatment of the dividend will be released separately. 

Basis of preparation
The summary consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2016 were prepared in accordance with the 
requirements of the JSE Limited Listings Requirements for preliminary reports and the requirements of the Companies
Act of South Africa. The JSE Listings Requirements require preliminary reports to be prepared in accordance with the
framework concepts and the measurement and recognition requirements of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS),
the SAICA Financial Reporting Guides as issued by the Accounting Practices Committee and Financial Pronouncements as
issued by Financial Reporting Standards Council and to also, as a minimum, contain the information required by IAS 34
Interim Financial Reporting.

All amendments to standards that are applicable to Hyprop for its financial year beginning 1 July 2015 have been
considered. Based on management’s assessment, the amendments do not have a material impact on the group’s annual 
financial statements. 

All accounting policies applied in the preparation of the group annual financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2016 
are consistent with those applied by Hyprop in its consolidated group annual financial statements for the prior financial 
year.

These summarised consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2016 have been extracted from the audited 
group annual financial statements, but have not themselves been audited. The directors take full responsibility for the 
preparation of the summarised consolidated results and for ensuring that the financial information has been correctly 
extracted from the underlying audited group annual financial statements. The auditor’s report does not necessarily report 
on all of the information included in this announcement. Shareholders are therefore advised that, in order to obtain a 
full understanding of the nature of the auditor’s engagement, they should obtain a copy of the auditor’s report, together 
with the accompanying financial information from the registered office of the company.

KPMG Inc. has audited the group annual financial statements. Their unqualified audit report is available from the
registered office of the company.

Preparation of the financial information was supervised by Laurence Cohen CA(SA) in his capacity as Financial
Director.
