Ergon Properties Limited

Chairman’s Report

Dear Shareholders, We are pleased to present to you the Annual Report for Ergon Properties Limited (Ergon) together with the 2026 Annual Financial Statements. Ergon’s property portfolio has continued to demonstrate resilience in what has been a continuation of challenging times. It is great to see the Cameron Road development underway in what we hope to be the first of a new wave of development opportunities.

Key achievements • The purchase of the 219 Cameron Road, Tauranga property for future development. • The successful negotiation through our project partners of a long-term lease with the University of Waikato for a purposebuilt, 228-bed student accommodation facility in Tauranga, with an initial lease term of 21 years. • Dividend payments have improved 21.29%. • There has been a $18.56m net value uplift in the property portfolio. • There was a 10.3% rental uplift on 1 February 2026 at Carlaw Park Stages 1, 2 and 3 as part of a 3-year CPI rent review. • The successful refinancing of the MIT loans with the ASB Bank at a significantly lower margin. • The successful extension of the Westpac Carlaw Park (Stage 1 & 2) and Sistema loan facilities for 2 years on the existing terms.

Challenges • Securing a long-term tenant to enable development of the fully consented office project at 54 Manukau Station Road. • Re-leasing the retail premises formerly occupied by Jenny Craig at the IAG Building.

P—8

• Ensuring tenants consistently meet their maintenance obligations. • Managing increasing maintenance and asset replacement requirements as properties within the portfolio age.

Headline financial performance Lower interest rates, coupled with a full year of income from the lease up of Level 2 & 3 at the Stanley Street office and a significant rental uplift from the rent reviews at Carlaw Stage 1, 2 & 3 have led to a material improvement in financial performance. The impact of these items is reflected in Ergon’s 2026 financial performance: • Distributions of 199.0 cps (up 21.3%) • Net Tangible Assets (NTA) of $51.87 per share (up 4.3%) • 2026 Total Return of 8.3% (up from 7.6%) • Weighted-Average Lease Term at balance date stood at 16.93 years (down from 17.94 years).

Investments Update Stuart McCutcheon House This modern student accommodation facility continues to be in high demand and remains consistently oversubscribed as a sought-after accommodation option.

Sistema Sistema continues to provide a stable investment for Ergon, with the property well maintained and performing as expected. A rent review is due on 1 November 2026. Carlaw Park Student Village Stage 1 & 2 Student Villages Stages 1 & 2 continue to produce solid financial returns. The riser pipework in Stages 1 & 2 has been replaced with minimal disruption to students in residence. The Manager continues to work constructively with the tenant to strengthen the ongoing maintenance programme. Ergon continues to maintain a strong relationship with its joint venture investment partner, Carlaw Heritage Trust, the other 50% co-owner. MIT Tech Park The Manager has been working proactively with MIT on the delivery of its maintenance obligations to support the long-term durability of the assets. This building continues to be well utilised by students and provides a vibrant hub for educational activities. A 2 yearly rent review for MIT is due on 1 September 2026. IAG Building The physiotherapy tenancy has changed ownership, with the new owners transitioning into the premises seamlessly.


Annual Report 2026

There has been a positive increase in the number of IAG employees returning to work from the IAG offices, following direction from head office. The refurbished front entrance has been well received, with favourable feedback from IAG employees. Stanley Street Office The government tenant has commenced an extensive fit-out of its premises, with occupation expected in late 2027, or early 2028. The tenant has entered into an 18 month car park and storage licence to use 47 exterior car park spaces to support storage, site offices and logistics during the fit-out. Cameron Road Student Accommodation The Cameron Road student accommodation project continues to progress well. Resource consent has been granted, with early works, including demolition, due to commence in early November 2026. Building design and services continue to be developed, with building and project consents due for lodgement at the beginning of December 2026. The façade design has been refined and finalised which will provide an attractive addition to the Tauranga cityscape. As with any development of this scale, the project remains subject to normal construction, cost, programme and financing risks, which are being actively managed.

Treasury

Dividend Guidance

Interest rates declined through the financial year but began to rise after March 2026 amid the ongoing conflict in the Middle East and increased global economic uncertainty. All loans remained within their covenant requirements, and Ergon continues to maintain positive relationships with each of its lenders.

We are forecasting gross dividends for the remainder of the 2027 financial year to be in the range of $0.50 to $0.56 per share per quarter, after allowing for contributions to the long-term maintenance fund. On current forecasts, gross dividends for the 2028 financial year are expected to remain broadly at current levels.

Bancorp continue to provide specialist advice that assists with treasury management decisions. The overall loan to value ratio (LVR) has reduced from 33.1% to 31.2%. The increase in asset values and the dividend reinvestment plan have both contributed to the reduction in the LVR. Dividend reinvestment levels have reduced from 27.5% to 24.3% during the course of the financial year.

Future Possibilities The resource consent obtained for a 4,500m2 office building at 54 Manukau Station Road presents a consented development opportunity for a future tenant. We expect this opportunity to progress as the economic environment improves and government accommodation requirements become clearer following this year’s election.

Auditors The Directors appointed Grant Thornton (GT) to audit the March 2026 financial statements. GT’s unqualified audit report forms part of the 2026 annual report. The Directors will request the shareholders to authorise the Board to fix GT’s fees and expenses for the 2027 income year. This forms part of the Notice of Annual Meeting of Shareholders.

Conclusion We thank you for your continued support and look forward to seeing you at the Annual Meeting scheduled for Thursday, 1 October 2026 at 3.30 pm. Yours sincerely Arthur Young Chairman

Ergon Properties Limited

Notes to the consolidated financial statements For the year ended 31 March 2026

1

General information These consolidated financial statements are for Ergon Properties Limited (the 'Company') and its subsidiaries (together 'the Group'). Ergon Properties Limited is a company registered under the New Zealand Companies Act 1993. The principal activity of the Group is property investment.

2

Summary of material accounting policies The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Financial Reporting Act 2013 and the Companies Act 1993. The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated. (a) Basis of preparation (i) Compliance with NZ IFRS RDR The consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Practice in New Zealand (NZ GAAP). The Group is a for-profit entity for the purpose of complying with NZ GAAP. The consolidated financial statements comply with New Zealand equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards Reduced Disclosure Regime (NZ IFRS RDR), other New Zealand accounting standards and authoritative notices that are applicable to entities that apply NZ IFRS RDR. The Group is eligible and has elected to report in accordance with Tier 2 For-profit Accounting Requirements (NZ IFRS RDR) on the basis that the Group has no public accountability and is not a large for-profit public sector entity. In applying NZ IFRS RDR, the Group has applied a number of disclosure concessions. (ii) Historical cost convention The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for investment property which is measured at fair value as outlined in the accounting policies below. (iii) Functional and presentation currency Items included in the consolidated financial statements are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Group operates ('the functional currency'). The consolidated financial statements are presented in New Zealand dollars ($), which is the Group's functional and presentation currency. Amounts are rounded to the nearest dollar.

These notes form part of these consolidated financial statements.

P — 18

(iv) Accounting policies issued but not yet adopted NZ IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements will replace NZ IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements and applies for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2027. The Group has not early adopted this standard. The Group is currently assessing the impact of adopting this standard. While the standard is not expected to have a material impact on the recognition or measurement of amounts reporting in the consolidated financial statements, it is expected to result in changes in presentation and disclosure. The standard will become applicable for the Group for the year ending 31 March 2028. (b) Principles of equity accounting Under the equity method of accounting, the investments are initially recognised at cost and adjusted thereafter to recognise the Group's share of the post-acquisition profits or losses of the investee in profit or loss, and the Group's share of movements in other comprehensive income of the investee in other comprehensive income. Dividends received or receivable from associates and joint ventures are recognised as a reduction in the carrying amount of the investment. When the Group's share of losses in an equity-accounted investment equals or exceeds its interest in the entity, including any other unsecured long-term receivables, the Group does not recognise further losses, unless it has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the other entity. (c) Revenue recognition Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. (i) Rental income The Group enters into property leases with tenants on its investment properties. The Group has determined that it retains all significant risks and rewards of ownership of these properties and has therefore classified the leases as operating leases. Operating lease income is recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant leases. Fixed rental adjustments are accounted for to achieve straight-line revenue recognition. (ii) Operating expense recoveries Operating expenses which are recoverable from tenants are recognised as gross property income from operating expense recovery. This is associated with the provision of services relating to the operations of investment properties (e.g. cleaning, repairs and maintenance, utilities).


Annual Report 2026

Notes to the consolidated financial statements continued

2

The Group has assessed the performance obligations associated with these as being satisfied each month the services are undertaken for the relevant investment property. Operating expense recovery is billed monthly and recognised in profit or loss in the same manner reflecting that recovery revenue from tenants is received at the same time the performance obligation is satisfied. (iii) Interest income Interest income is recognised using the effective interest method. (iv) Dividend income Dividend income is recognised when the right to receive payment is established. (d) Income tax The Company is a multi rate portfolio investment entity (PIE) and pays tax on behalf of its investors based on their tax rates. The Company files PIE returns quarterly and is in a consolidated PIE group with its subsidiary, Ergon Properties No.1 Limited. The income tax expense or credit for the period is the tax payable on the current period's taxable income based on the applicable income tax rate adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences and to unused tax losses. The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation and considers whether it is probable that a taxation authority will accept an uncertain tax treatment. The Group measures its tax balances either based on the most likely amount or the expected value, depending on which method provides a better prediction of the resolution of the uncertainty. Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. However, deferred tax liabilities are not recognised if they arise from the initial recognition of goodwill. Deferred income tax is also not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled.

Deferred tax assets are recognised only if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and when the deferred tax balances relate to the same taxation authority. Current tax assets and tax liabilities are offset where the entity has a legally enforceable right to offset and intends either to settle on a net basis. (e) Goods and Services Tax (GST) The consolidated statement of comprehensive income has been prepared so that all components are stated exclusive of GST. All items in the consolidated statement of financial position are stated net of GST, with the exception of receivables and payables, which include GST invoiced. (f) Cash and cash equivalents For the purpose of presentation in the consolidated statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, other short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. (g) Leases The Company as Lessor Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases. The Group has entered into commercial property leases for its investment properties. The Group has determined that it retained all significant risks and rewards of ownership of these properties and has therefore classified these leases as operating leases. (h) Trade and other receivables Trade receivables are amounts due from customers for services performed in the ordinary course of business. Trade and other receivables are presented as current assets unless collection is not due within 12 months after the reporting period. Trade receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment.

These notes form part of these consolidated financial statements.

(i)

Financial assets

(i) Classification The Group classifies its financial assets as those to be measured at amortised cost. (ii) Recognition and derecognition Regular purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on the date the Group commits to purchase or sell the asset. Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets have expired or have been transferred and the Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership. (iii) Measurement At initial recognition, the Group measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at fair value through profit or loss (FVPL), transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Transaction costs of financial assets carried at FVPL are expensed in profit or loss. Debt instruments Loans receivable from related parties are initially measured at fair value plus directly attributable transaction costs. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment. (iv) Impairment The Group assesses on a forward looking basis the expected credit losses associated with its debt instruments carried at amortised cost and FVOCI. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk. For trade receivables, the Group applies the simplified approach permitted by NZ IFRS 9, which requires expected lifetime losses to be recognised from initial recognition of the receivables. (j)

Impairment of assets

All non-financial assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest level for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (cash generating units).

(k) Property, plant and equipment All property, plant and equipment is stated at historical cost less depreciation and impairment. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items. Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. Depreciation of property, plant and equipment is calculated using the diminishing value method so as to expense the cost of the assets over their useful lives. The rates are as follows: Fixtures and fittings

Investment property

Investment property is held for long-term rental yields and is not occupied by the Group. Investment property is carried at fair value, which is based on active market prices, adjusted, if necessary, for any difference in the nature, location or condition of the specific asset. If this information is not available, the Group uses alternative valuation methods such as recent prices in less active markets or discounted cash flow projections. These valuations are reviewed annually by a member of the New Zealand Property Institute. Changes in fair values are recorded in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income as part of gain on revaluation of investment property. The value recognised in the consolidated statement of financial position includes assets arising from 'smoothing' or straight-lining lease income due to variability in periodic cash payments. These assets are calculated using the minimum fixed rental increases over the term of each lease. The lease payments including future fixed rent increases are spread evenly over the remaining term of the lease. Investment property also includes properties that are under construction for future use as investment properties. These are also carried at fair value unless the fair value cannot yet be reliably determined. Where that is the case, the property will be accounted for at cost until either the fair value becomes reliably determinable or construction is complete. This is different to previous years where properties under construction were accounted for at cost and presented under property, plant and equipment until construction was complete.

The Group classifies its fair value measurement using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. The fair value hierarchy has the following levels: - Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. - Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices). - Level 3: Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs). All of the Group's investment properties have been determined to be Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy because all significant inputs that determine fair value are not based on observable market data. (m) Trade and other payables These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of financial year which are unpaid. Trade and other payables are presented as current liabilities unless payment is not due within 12 months after the reporting period. They are recognised initially at their fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

(n) Interest bearing liabilities Interest bearing liabilities are initially recognised at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Interest bearing liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognised in profit or loss over the period of the interest bearing liabilities using the effective interest method. General and specific borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are capitalised during the period of time that is required to complete and prepare the asset for its intended use or sale. Other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred. Interest bearing liabilities are removed from the balance sheet when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expired. The difference between the carrying amount of a financial liability that has been extinguished or transferred to another party and the consideration paid, including any noncash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognised in profit or loss as other income or finance costs. (o) Share capital Ordinary shares are classified as equity.

Critical accounting estimates and judgements Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The Group makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The areas where estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are:

4

– Estimated useful life of assets – note 2(k) – Impairment of assets – note 2(j) – Provision for impairment – note 2(h) –C lassification of financial assets and debt instruments – note 2(i) – Classification of leases – note 2(g) – Deferred tax – note 2(d) – Determination of joint arrangements – note 12 – Investment properties – note 6.

Investment properties (continued) Investment properties were valued on 31 March 2026 by Jones Lang LaSalle, Savills (NZ) Limited and Colliers, registered valuers and associates of the New Zealand Institute of Valuers, at a total value of $614,750,000. The valuers have recent experience in the location and category of the investment being valued. The basis of the valuation of investment properties is fair value being the amounts for which the properties could be exchanged between willing parties in an arm’s length transaction, based on current prices in an active market for similar properties in the same location and condition and subject to similar leases. Investment property under construction As of 31 March 2026, the property comprised an unimproved site at Lot 2, 52-54 Manukau Station Road. All costs directly associated with the purchase and construction of a property and all subsequent capital expenditure are capitalised. Subsequent to initial recognition investment properties are stated at fair value. Gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of investment properties are included in profit or loss and other comprehensive income in the year in which they arise.

The Group has recognised deferred tax liabilities relating to the depreciation claw-back which would arise on the sale of investment properties at carrying value. In estimating this deferred tax liability, the Group has relied on independent valuer's assessments of the fair value of the investment properties. The change in average investors tax rate is a result of adjusting the opening deferred tax liability balance using the current year average investor tax rate. Deferred tax is recognised using the balance sheet method, providing for temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. The carrying amount of deferred tax asset is reviewed at each balance date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax assets to be utilised. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year when the asset is realised or the liability settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) applicable at balance date.

a) Interest rate risk Interest rate risk is the risk that fluctuations in interest rates impact the Group's financial performance, future cash flows or the fair value of its financial instruments. The Group engages external treasury advisors to review and set treasury strategy to manage the interest rate risk. he following table demonstrates the sensitivity to a reasonably possible change in interest rates on interest bearing T liabilities, with all other variables held constant. 2026 Effect on profit or equity $

b) Credit risk Credit risk represents the risk that the counterparty to the financial instrument will fail to discharge an obligation and cause the Group to incur a financial loss. Financial instruments which subject the Group to credit risk principally consist of cash and debtors. The Group's exposure to credit risk is equal to the carrying value of the financial instruments. The Group's debtor balances are monitored on an ongoing basis with the result that the Group's exposure to bad debts is not significant. (c) Li quidity risk Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with its financial liabilities. The Group manages liquidity risk by monitoring forecast and actual cash flows, maintaining relationships with its lenders, monitoring compliance with borrowing covenants, and matching the maturity profile of financial liabilities to the Group’s expected operating cash flows and available refinancing options. At 31 March 2026, the Group had interest bearing liabilities of $184,050,000, of which $43,900,000 was classified as current and $140,150,000 as non-current. The current liability relates to the Westpac money market loan, which expires on 31 January 2027. The Directors expect the Group to meet its obligations through operating cash flows, available financing arrangements and, where required, refinancing of facilities before maturity.

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Group as at 31 March 2026 and its financial performance and cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with New Zealand equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards Reduced Disclosure Regime (“NZ IFRS RDR”) issued by the New Zealand Accounting Standards Board.

Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with Professional and Ethical Standard 1 International Code of Ethics for Assurance Practitioners (including International Independence Standards) (New Zealand) issued by the New Zealand Auditing and Assurance Standards Board, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements.

Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of audit opinion or assurance conclusion thereon. In connections with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Directors’ Responsibilities for the Consolidated Financial Statements The Directors are responsible on behalf of the Group for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with NZ IFRS RDR issued by the New Zealand Accounting Standards Board, and for such internal control as those charged with governance determine is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the Directors are responsible on behalf of the Group for assessing the Group‘s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. Auditor’s responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (NZ) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements. A further description of the auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the External Reporting Board’s website at: https://www.xrb.govt.nz/standards/assurance-standards/auditors-responsibilities/audit-report-71/ Restriction on use of our report This report is made solely to the Company’s shareholders, as a body. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the Company’s shareholders, as a body, those matters which we are required to state to them in an auditor’s 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 and its shareholders, as a body, for our audit work, for this report or for the opinion we have formed.
