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, The Glen, Woodlands, CapeGate, Somerset and Rosebank Malls, and regional centre Hyde Park Corner.
The sub-Saharan African portfolio (excluding SA) includes interests in Accra Mall, West Hills Mall and Achimota Retail
Centre (all in Accra, Ghana), Manda Hill Centre in Lusaka, Zambia and Ikeja City Mall in Lagos, Nigeria.
In early 2016 Hyprop expanded into South-Eastern Europe with the acquisition of a 60% interest in Delta City Belgrade,
Serbia and Delta City Podgorica, Montenegro. In October 2016, Hyprop acquired a 60% interest in Skopje City Mall, in
Skopje, Macedonia.
Financial results
Hyprop has declared a dividend of 347,3 cents per share for the six months ended 31 December 2016 (the period), an
increase of 16,6% on the corresponding period in 2015.
Distributable earnings for the period benefited from the inclusion of R58,4 million (23,5 cents) from the investments
in South-Eastern Europe. No income from the investments in South-Eastern Europe was included in the prior year interim
period.
Due to constraints on the conversion of local currency to US Dollars, net distributable earnings from Ikeja City Mall
in Lagos, Nigeria, amounting to R15,6 million, was excluded from distributable earnings for the period (31 December
2015: R6,0 million).

Revenue and distributable earnings from investment property (excluding properties sold) increased by 7,7% and 6,5%,
respectively.
Trading density growth slowed during the period, especially among apparel retailers, who were affected by increased
competition, a weaker Rand and more restrictive credit-granting regulations.
Demand for space in Hyprop’s shopping centres remains strong as evidenced by low vacancies and rental arrears, and
supports further expansion at Rosebank Mall, Canal Walk and The Glen.

Total retail vacancies remained at 0,8%, while vacancies in the office portfolio reduced marginally, largely due to
new lettings at Lakefield Office Park. Total gross lettable area in the portfolio reduced by a net 21 707m² (2,8%)
due to asset sales. As a result, the reduction in office vacancies did not materially impact total vacancies.

(excluding assets sold).
Developments
The installation of H&M at Somerset Mall (R15,8 million) and Checkers at Atterbury Value Mart (R31,0 million) were
completed successfully.
The following extensions and refurbishments are underway:
Shopping centre Project Amount (Hyprop's share) Completion date
Rosebank Mall Additional 4 300m2 rentable area R127,0 million April 2018
The Glen Food court enclosure and additional 1 200m2 rentable area R90,9 million April 2018
Canal Walk Additional retail in La Piazza area R41,6 million November 2017
During the period, R73,1 million was spent on capital projects, new equipment and tenant installations.
Disposals
Somerset Value Mart and Glenfield Office Park were sold for R185 million and R180 million, respectively. Somerset
Value Mart was transferred in September 2016, and Glenfield Office Park in December 2016.
Willowbridge South was sold for R460 million and was transferred in March 2017. Agreement has also been reached for
the disposal of Willowbridge North for R225 million. The transaction is still subject to approval by the competition
authorities as well as approval for the assignment of the leasehold rights to the purchaser.
Efforts to dispose of the remaining standalone office buildings are continuing.

Total portfolio 127 079 4,7 4,0
The exclusion of distributable earnings from Ikeja City Mall in Lagos, Nigeria, resulted in a reduction in distributable
earnings from the investments in sub-Saharan Africa (excluding SA) to R30,9 million (31 December 2015: R35,3 million).
The Central Bank of Nigeria issued a statement on 20 February 2017, undertaking to clear all unfilled foreign exchange
orders. Future distributable earnings from Ikeja City Mall will be included when the foreign exchange market becomes
operational again.
Average growth in distributable earnings from Manda Hill Centre (Lusaka, Zambia), West Hills Mall and Accra Mall (both
in Accra, Ghana) was 5,4%.
Despite continued challenging trading conditions in certain of the countries in which the investments are held, the
centres displayed resilience and vacancies were maintained at reasonable levels. Apart from Manda Hill, the centres
reported better trading numbers for December 2016 than for December 2015. Manda Hill has been affected by the opening
of additional retail centres in Lusaka, however its position remains dominant and efforts are being made to improve its
tenant mix.
Kumasi City Mall, in Kumasi, Ghana is currently under construction and is scheduled to open in April 2017.
Investments in sub-Saharan Africa (excluding SA) at 31 December 2016, primarily via shareholder loan funding to AttAfrica
Limited, were R3,1 billion (30 June 2016: R3,3 billion). The net reduction over the period was largely due to Rand
appreciation against the US Dollar. Hyprop’s share of its investment in Ikeja City Mall, in Lagos, Nigeria, reduced to
R1,6 billion (30 June 2016: R1,7 billion). The reduction in value was due to a reduction in the directors’ valuation of
Ikeja City Mall, as well as due to Rand appreciation against the US Dollar.

Delta City Podgorica (Montenegro) was purchased in February 2016, and Delta City Belgrade (Serbia) in April 2016.
The final instalment of EUR49,3 million for Delta City Belgrade was paid in September 2016.
The purchase of Skopje City Mall, in Skopje, Macedonia, for a total consideration of EUR92 million, was effective in
October 2016.
All of the acquisitions in South-Eastern Europe have been funded with Euro-denominated bridge funding, supported by a
guarantee from Hyprop. The bridge funding will be re-financed with term funding, which will be at a higher interest rate
than the bridge funding and will be implemented in tranches during 2017. It is anticipated that once the re-financing
is complete, the weighted average interest rate for the Euro funding will be between 3% and 4%.
Trading conditions continue to be positive, with like-for-like foot count growth as well as turnover growth in excess
of the Eurostat inflation rate. Demand for additional rentable area remains strong from the fashion anchor tenants and
further extensions to the centres are planned.
The accounting treatment of the investments in South-Eastern Europe require them to be accounted for as an investment
in a financial asset. Accordingly, the investments do not currently appear on the consolidated statement of financial
position.
NET ASSET VALUE
The net asset value (NAV) per share at 31 December 2016 increased by 4,2% to R98,47 (30 June 2016: R94,50). The
increase was due to an increase in the value of the investment property portfolio, as well as the issue of new shares
at a premium to NAV per share, in July 2016.
At 31 December 2016, the closing share price of R117,31 represented a premium of 19,1% to the NAV per share.

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
During the period, a maturing South African bank loan amounting to R1,2 billion was refinanced with DCM funding
(three, four and five-year corporate bonds). As a consequence, the ratio of DCM funding to total debt increased
to 20%. All DCM funding is unsecured.
The Rand equivalent of the US Dollar-denominated bank debt reduced during the period, largely due to Rand
appreciation against the US Dollar.
Euro-denominated debt increased during the period, due to the final payment of EUR49,3 million in September 2016
in respect of Delta City Belgrade, as well as EUR92 million in October 2016 for Skopje City Mall in Macedonia.
The Euro debt is short-term bridge funding and the interest rate has not been fixed.
The increase in cash is largely due to cash inflows from the issue of new shares in July 2016 (R700 million) and
the sale of Somerset Value Mart and Glenfield Office Park in September and December 2016, respectively.

Net interest costs of R180,7 million (31 December 2015: R195,1 million) reduced due to non-core asset sales of
R365 million (Somerset Value Mart and Glenfield Office Park), and a cash inflow of R700 million in July 2016
from the issue of new shares. The proceeds from non-core asset sales and the issue of new shares were applied
in part to the reduction of debt and to capital expenditure in the South African portfolio.
PROSPECTS
Hyprop expects dividend growth of approximately 12% 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;
- Earnings from offshore investments will not be materially impacted by exchange rate volatility. Exchange rates
have been assumed at R12,75 and R13,80 to the US Dollar and Euro, respectively; and
- No income from Ikeja City Mall (Lagos, Nigeria) has been included in the forecast.
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 347,3 cents per share for the six months ended 31 December 2016 will be paid to shareholders as follows:
2017
Last day to trade cum dividend Tuesday, 28 March
Shares trade ex dividend Wednesday, 29 March
Record date Friday, 31 March
Payment date Monday, 3 April
Shareholders may not dematerialise or rematerialise their shares between Wednesday, 29 March 2017 and Friday,
31 March 2017, both days inclusive. The dividend will be transferred to dematerialised shareholders CSDP
accounts/broker accounts and paid to certificated shareholders’ bank accounts on Monday, 3 April 2017.
An announcement relating to the tax treatment of the dividend will be released separately on SENS.
BASIS OF PREPARATION
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the six months ended 31 December 2016 were prepared in
accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting, the SAICA Financial
Reporting Guides as issued by the Accounting Practices Committee and Financial Pronouncements as issued by the Financial
Reporting Standards Council and the requirements of the Companies Act of South Africa.
All amendments to standards that are applicable to Hyprop for its financial year beginning 1 July 2016 have been
considered. Based on management’s assessment, the amendments do not have a material impact on the group’s condensed
consolidated interim financial statements.
All accounting policies applied in the preparation of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements are
consistent with those applied by Hyprop in its consolidated group annual financial statements for the prior
financial year.
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have not been reviewed or audited by Hyprop’s independent
external auditors.
Preparation of the interim financial information was supervised by Laurence Cohen CA(SA) in his capacity as
Financial Director.
