Take it as a signal that management aren't very confident, either. Potential lease terminations, lease/rent defaults, less customers through the malls etc.

Yes - effectively by cancelling next dividend its like a rights issue they hopefully won't need to have - besides they had that last year, Disc- hold

Certainly no lack of customers in Lynn Mall today. The place was packed. Anyone who had concerns whether customers would ever want to shop in malls again didn't need to worry.

BAU-i certainly hope so but its early days. Unemployment aside, plenty of fashion houses (a mall mainstay) downsizing/closing around the world (and a bit here of course). One feels there is worse/a lot worse to come but Herald article yesterday, chap confident malls will evolve, might see more dentists and the likes replace the shops. Whether that attracts the masses that feed the small shops, who knows. On a US trip last year it was heart-wrenching to see how many malls were dead (as in totally, boarded up, grass in parking lots etc). Hope we dont get any of the same.

Town planning and zoning will make sure that malls here are relatively secure, i.e. not threatened by never ending competing developments. To aggregate sufficient land is expensive and painfully slow in NZ. Whereas in the states all vacant green-fields present an opportunity. Mall buildings are cheap structures and easy to throw up as long as land is cheap as it is in some of U.S states where shop development is uncontrolled. For the same reason they can provide almost unlimited parking so as to attract the punters from all around.

Kiwi Property business and dividend update
22/6/2020, 8:30 amCORPACT Kiwi Property is pleased to provide the following business and dividend update:
Pedestrian count
The number of visitors to Kiwi Property’s shopping centre portfolio has returned to pre-COVID-19 levels. Since New Zealand’s move to Alert Level 2 and the resumption of normal trading on 14 May, the average pedestrian count for the Company’s portfolio is up 1% on the same period last year. Some centres have recovered particularly strongly, including Sylvia Park in Auckland and The Plaza in Palmerston North.
Rent relief
Kiwi Property has taken a number of steps to mitigate the impact of COVID-19 across its business and to support its tenants. These measures include a comprehensive cost control programme and rent relief measures for affected retailers, and SMEs. Negotiations with Kiwi Property’s tenants are ongoing, however abatements are expected to be in-line with the guidance provided at the Company’s full year results (FFO [Note 1] impact of approximately $20 million or $14 million after tax, partially offset by an approximately $4.5 million reduction in tax resulting from the reinstatement of depreciation on commercial buildings).
Dividend
As previously reported, the Kiwi Property Board made the difficult decision not to proceed with the final dividend for the year ended 31 March 2020, due to the inherent uncertainty caused by COVID-19. In light of New Zealand’s return to Alert Level 1 and the increased clarity around the country’s trading environment, the Company intends to pay an interim dividend for the year ending 31 March 2021 [NOTE 2]. The dividend will comprise 90 – 100% of Kiwi Property’s underlying cash flows (AFFO [NOTE 1]) for the six-month period to 30 September 2020, in accordance with its new dividend policy.
Further dividend and earnings updates will be provided to the market once trading conditions and rental collections have normalised.

Observations from visiting Northlands Mall last week.[from memory so may not be exact]
Three large empty stores.
Four small empty stores.
Standard of tenants weaker.So many stores did not appear to have a viable business.A lot did not have the stock required to do a good turnover.
Shoe stores are not a good sector yet there were about four sport shoe retailers and possibly three or four standard shoe retailers.
Hairdressers.Two or three.Massage two,or three..Hair removal one or two.Nails etc two or three. ie over 10 in one sector.?
Foodcourt.McDonalds as usual were the only ones busy.
