Independent review report to Kennedy Wilson Europe Real Estate Limited (the “Company”)

Conclusion

We have been engaged by Kennedy Wilson Europe Real Estate Limited (the “Company”) to review the condensed consolidated financial statements (the “interim financial statements”) in the half-yearly financial report for the six months ended 30 June 2021 of the Company and its subsidiaries, which comprises the condensed consolidated income statement, the condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the condensed consolidated balance sheet, the condensed consolidated statement of changes in equity, the condensed consolidated cash flow statement, and the related explanatory notes.

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim financial statements in the half-yearly financial report for the six months ended 30 June 2021 are not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34 ‘Interim Financial Reporting’ as adopted by the European Union (the “EU”).

Scope of review

We conducted our review having regard to the Financial Reporting Council’s International Standard on Review Engagements (UK and Ireland) 2410 Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity. A review of interim financial information consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. We read the other information contained in the half-yearly financial report and consider whether it contains any apparent misstatements or material inconsistencies with the information in the condensed consolidated financial statements.

A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland) and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Directors’ responsibilities

The half-yearly financial report is the responsibility of, and has been approved by, the directors.

The annual financial statements of the Company are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as adopted by the EU. The directors are responsible for preparing the condensed set of financial statements included in the half-yearly financial report in accordance with IAS 34 ‘Interim Financial Reporting’, as adopted by the EU.

Our responsibility

Our responsibility is to express to the Company a conclusion on the condensed set of consolidated financial statements in the half-yearly financial report based on our review.

This report is made solely to the Company in accordance with the terms of our engagement letter. Our review has been undertaken so that we might state to the Company those matters we are required to state to it in this report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Company for our review work, for this report, or for the conclusions we have reached.

Notes to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements

For the six month period ended 30 June 2021

1. General information

Kennedy Wilson Europe Real Estate Limited (the ‘Company’) is a company incorporated in Jersey. These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements (the ‘interim financial statements’) as at and for the six month period ended 30 June 2021 have been prepared and are presented in respect of the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the ‘Group’).

The registered office of the Company is 47 Esplanade, St Helier, Jersey, JE1 0BD, Channel Islands.

2. Basis of preparation

A. Statement of compliance

These interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting as promulgated by the International Accounting Standards Board, as adopted by the European Union, and should be read in conjunction with the Group’s last annual consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2020. They do not include all the information required for a complete set of IFRS financial statements. However, selected explanatory notes are included to explain events and transactions that are significant to an understanding of the changes in the Group’s financial position and performance since the last annual consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2020 (the ‘Audited Financial Statements’).

The results are unaudited but were reviewed by the auditors of the Company.

B. Basis of measurement

The interim financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, applying the historical cost convention except for investment and development property, loans secured by real estate, property, plant and equipment and derivative financial instruments which are stated at their fair value using the accounting policies as set out in Note 3.

After making enquiries, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the Group has adequate resources to continue its operations for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.

The Group has strong liquidity and access to significant financial headroom between cash flows and existing reserves. Cash balances stood at £190.8 million at 30 June 2021.

The Investment Manager and its affiliates work closely with those tenants whose operations have continued to be impacted by COVID-19. Future cash flows have been forecast and stress-tested taking into account conservative assumptions relating to tenant performance. 

If the Group wished to further bolster short to medium term liquidity beyond its already considerable reserves, it would be able to defer discretionary capital expenditure.

Banking facility covenants have been considered in conjunction with the conservative forecasts and the Investment Manager maintains an open dialogue with relationship lenders in the normal course of business, obtaining waivers where necessary.

Having reviewed the forecasts, applying adversestress tests and taking into account available mitigating actions, including ultimate parent support and liquidity, the Directors consider it a remote possibility that the financial headroom could be depleted.

Accordingly, they do not anticipate any need to significantly curtail the scale of operations or other activity and believe that the Group will continue as a going concern.

C. Use of judgements and estimates

In preparing these interim financial statements, management has made judgements and estimates that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The significant judgements made by management in applying the Group’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those described in the Annual Financial Statements.

        Page | 11

(i) Impact of Coronavirus (‘COVID-19’)

The pandemic commenced during the first quarter of 2020 and the duration and long term impact of it still remains uncertain at this time.

As a result of the unprecedented measures taken across the globe, the disruption and impact of the COVID-19 pandemic to the global economy and financial markets has been significant. The Group continues to closely monitor changes in applicable laws and guidance provided by local governments in the jurisdictions in which the Group invests.

During the six months ended 30 June 2021 all the markets in which the Group operates enforced some form of restriction on the operations of businesses although with increased vaccination rates these precautions are being lifted to varying degrees.

3. Significant accounting policies

Accounting policies adopted for the year ended 31 December 2020

The accounting policies and methods of computation and presentation adopted in the preparation of the interim financial statements are consistent with those applied in the Audited Financial Statements and are described therein on pages 15 to 23.

The Audited Financial Statements are available at eu.kennedywilson.com.

As at 30 June 2021, management prepare an internal analysis of the fair values of Investment and development property, Property Plant and Equipment and Investments in Equity-accounted investees. This analysis includes consideration of the independently obtained year-end valuations, changes in discount rates in the period, capitalised costs incurred and any changes to future expected cash flows.

The Group has not early adopted any other standard, interpretation or amendment that has been issued but is not yet effective.

Several other amendments and interpretations apply for the first time in 2021, but do not have an impact on the financial statements of the Group.

5. Operating segments

A. Basis of segmentation

The Group is organised into one business segment, against which the Group reports its segmental information, being the investment portfolio. Following the disposal of hotel assets and loans secured by real estate in recent years, the Group has just one remaining hotel asset and one remaining loan connection. Both have now been subsumed into the investment portfolio segment and are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision makers (the Board of directors).

The following summary describes the operations of the reportable segment:

Segment	Description
Investment portfolio	Property used primarily for the purpose of generating rental and other income and comprising office, retail, leisure, industrial, residential and hotel real estate assets and one loan secured by real estate assets.

The Group’s key measure of underlying performance of the investment portfolio is net operating income as this measure illustrates and emphasises it’s contribution to the reported profits of the Group and earnings per share. By focusing the prime performance measurement on net operating income, other statistical data such as valuation movements are separately highlighted for analysis and attention.

        Page | 13

B. Geographic information

Consistent with the prior year, the investment portfolio includes assets located in the United Kingdom, the Republic of Ireland, Italy and Spain. Italy and Spain are grouped together and reported as “Rest of Europe”.

The geographic information below analyses the Group’s investment portfolio revenues and asset valuation movements, by location.

6. Taxation

A. Company

The Company is tax resident in Jersey. Jersey has a corporate tax rate of zero under schedule D of the Income Tax (Jersey) Law 1961 as amended, so the Company is not subject to tax in Jersey on its income or gains and is not subject to United Kingdom or other jurisdiction corporation tax on any dividend or interest income it receives. No charge to Jersey taxation will arise on capital gains.

B. Group

The Directors conduct the affairs of the Group such that the management and control of the Group is exercised in Jersey. Except for the hotel operations in Ireland, the Group does not carry on a trade in any other jurisdiction.

The Group is liable to foreign tax on activities in its overseas subsidiaries. Outside of Jersey, the Group has subsidiaries and funds in Luxembourg, Ireland, Italy, Spain, the United Kingdom and the United States of America and investment and development property located in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Italy and Spain.

Details of tax rates applicable in the jurisdictions in which the Group operates are set out in Note 10 to the Audited Financial Statements.

The cost of investment properties acquired during the period, inclusive of acquisition costs, is £187.7 (year ended December 2020: £Nil). The total expenditure incurred to acquire investment properties under development during the period is £Nil (year ended December 2020: £Nil).

Acquisition costs comprise primarily stamp duty, legal services, and other directly attributable costs and amounted to £10.2 million (year ended 31 December 2020: £2.2 million).

The cost of property carried as held for sale, inclusive of acquisition costs, is £5.9 million (year ended 31 December 2020: £34.7 million). Fair valuation gains of £1.4 million have been recognised on assets held for sale at 30 June 2021.

At 30 June 2021, the Group was contractually committed to £17.7 million (December 2020: £19.9 million) of future expenditure for the purchase, construction, development and enhancement of investment and development property.

The net fair value loss of £9.2 million (year ended 31 December 2020: net fair value loss £104.4 million) has been recognised in the Consolidated income statement. At 30 June 2021, a director valuation has been undertaken using the external valuations at 31 December 2020 as a foundation. The Directors confirm that the valuation techniques and the key unobservable inputs used in the valuation of the Group’s investment property and investment property under development at 31 December 2020 continue to apply for the period ended 30 June 2021. In performing this assessment, the directors worked with the Investment Advisors to develop valuations attributable to each investment property in the Group’s portfolio. These valuations were determined by reference to expected cash flows for each asset, and by applying capitalisation yields determined with reference to relevant industry benchmarks and market indices.
