Nature of business
Indluplace is a proud South African property investor, owning a portfolio primarily focused on the affordable end
of the residential rental market. The company was listed on the Main Board of the JSE in June 2015 and currently
owns a portfolio of 9 282 residential units and 15 494m2 of associated retail space. The portfolio is valued at
approximately R3,4 billion, with properties situated mainly in Gauteng. The Group employs in excess of 280 people
providing all the services required to efficiently manage a large portfolio which is home to almost 30 000 people.
These include building based staff as well as all head office departments.
Overview
Following the successful internalisation of the property management function in 2021, the Board set targets for the
company to stabilise distributions in 2022, and for it to show inflation related growth in 2023. The improvement in
residential portfolio occupancies (from 89,7% in March 2022 to 94% in March 2023), the complete turn-around in the
student portfolio occupancies (from 43% in March 2022 to over 98% currently), excellent collection numbers and low bad
debt write-offs, as well as the good performances from all other departments, enabled us to exceed the growth target set
by the Board. The second half of the financial year is traditionally stronger than the first half and we expect the
current financial performance to continue and even slightly improve.
Dividend for the six months ended 31 March 2023
In accordance with the scheme implementation agreement concluded between Indluplace and SA Corporate Real Estate Limited
(details of whichhave been provided to shareholders in the joint firm intention announcement released on 14 March 2023

but will declare a clean-out dividend prior to the scheme being implemented. Should the scheme of arrangement lapse,
the board of Indluplace will revisit the declaration of an interim dividend.
