  • 1. OPERATIONAL OVERVIEW

    Sectoral Spread 31 December 2022 *

    In line with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), we are proud to present our first set of 3.9%group financial statements which comprise of the Company and Group consolidated results. It must be

    noted that in the prior year, LLR did not prepare Consolidated Financial Statements and therefore for 3.7%comparability, the focus of the commentry is on the company accounts of December 2023 and December 2022.

    We are pleased to announce that during the period under review, our portfolio continued to demonstrate strong performance, with high occupancy rates of 99.15% as at 31 December 2023, an improvement from the previous year's 96.97%. The Company strives to give its shareholders security of income and in efforts to do so, we are proud to have signed a longterm lease (10 years) with one of our new tenants post

    year-end. We expect this, together with other leases that are up for renewal, to improve our lease expiry profile from the current level of 3.01years.

    As a result of the above as well as the Company's enhanced collection efforts, monthly collection rates have averaged above 100%, including arrears thus maintaining a healthy cash position and arrears within acceptable levels.

    In October 2023, the Company acquired an additional 25% shareholding in JTTM Properties (Proprietary) Limited (JTTM), the holding company of Railpark Mall, which resulted in JTTM becoming a subsidiary of the Company at a shareholding of 57.79%. This has significantly uplifted the value of our investment portfolio from the prior year's P1.4 billion to close at P1.6 billion as at 31 December 2023. As a result of this, at group level, the investment portfolio value increased from P1.5 billion to P2.0 billion.

  • 2. FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

    At a group level, our revenue closed the six months period at P77 million, a fair value gain of P28 million and profit before tax from continuing operations at P72 million, this is mainly due to the consolidation of the Railpark Mall results for the post acquisition period October 2023 to December 2023. The Group also realised a gain on the disposal of equity accounted investment of P6.9 million at the time of acquisition of the additional stake in JTTM.

    Strong performance was recorded at a company level with profit before tax from continuing operations up 30% year-on-year. Revenue from continuing operations increased by 9% driven by average annual lease escalations of 6-7%.

    In the prior year, the company experienced foreign exchange gains on the Orbit Africa Limited (OAL) (our property investment in Kenya) shareholder loan which was once off, thus resulting in a significant drop in other operating income year-on-year. Due to a significant increase in the cost of funding at both OAL and tenant level in Kenya since the time of investment in July 2022 to date, this has adversely impacted the performance of OAL, thereby resulting in cashflow challenges. We are currently reviewing our position on OAL as part of our ongoing investment performance monitoring process.

    Finance income increased on the back of strong performance from the investment in associates, coupled with efficient cash management strategies. Finance costs increased by 14%, driven by the increase in the bank loan by circa P120 million which was utilised to fund the acquisition of an additional 25% stake in JTTM in October 2023. Fair value gains increased significantly on the back of refurbishments that were done in the prior year as these were netted off against the gross revaluations on investment property.

  • 3. DISTRIBUTION

    2024

    The summarised financial results have been prepared by applying the recognition and measurement criteria in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") and interpretations issued by the IFRICS Interpretations Committee. In preparing the underlying financial statements from which these summarised financial results were extracted, all International Financial Reporting Standards and International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee interpretations issued and effective for annual periods ended 31 December 2023 have been applied.

    In the preparation of the summarised financial results, the company has applied key assumptions concerning the future and other inherent uncertainties in recording various assets and liabilities. These assumptions were applied consistently to the financial results for the half year ended 31 December 2023. The assumptions are subject to ongoing review and possible amendments.

  • 6. GOVERNANCE

    The Board of Directors recognises the need to conduct the business of the Company with utmost integrity and in accordance with generally accepted practices and endorses the internationally accepted principles of Corporate Governance and public responsibility.

  • 7. BOARD CHANGES

    During the period under review, Mr. Mooketsi Maphane was appointed as Deputy Chairman of the Board effective 21 September 2023. As Deputy Board Chairman, Mr Maphane is responsible for assisting the Chairperson in the overall leadership and governance. At the Company's last Annual General Meeting (AGM) held on 14 December 2023, Mr Khuto Balosang and Mr Mooketsi Maphane retired by rotation in terms of section 20.9.1 of the company's constitution and being eligible they offered themselves for re-election. The two directors were unanimously re-elected into the board.

  • 8. OUTLOOK

    Having had a successful first half of the 2024 financial year by executing on the growth and asset recycling strategy through the acquisition of the further stake in Railpark Mall, the conclusion of the sale of Moedi House and the ongoing sale of the sectional titles at Red Square Apartments, the group continues to explore opportunities for balance sheet growth and funding options that can be deployed to finance that growth. In addition to that, the Company took over the property and asset management services of JTTM in November 2023 so focus will also be on assimilating the group to ensure a smooth transition and enhance efficiencies in our processes.

    We would like to thank our valued stakeholders for their continued support and look forward to unlocking further value in the group.

    By Order of the Board

Mr. Khuto Balosang Chairman

Ms. Kamogelo Mowaneng Chief Executive Officer
