H. FUNDING AND RELATED ITEMS
H1 BORROWINGS
H1.1 Accounting policies
 
Borrowings   Interest-bearing loans, are initially measured at fair value, net of transaction costs. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the settlement or redemption amount of borrowings, is recognised over the term of the borrowings, in accordance with the group’s accounting policy for borrowing costs. Subsequently, they are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.   Refer: below
H1.2 Changes in accounting policies and disclosures
 
IFRS 9: Financial instruments   Borrowings are affected by the group’s application of IFRS 9: Financial instruments. The adoption of IFRS 9 has not had a significant effect on the group’s accounting policies related to financial liabilities and derivative financial instruments as the group does not apply hedge accounting to its derivative financial instruments. This note should be read in conjunction with note A3.1 – Financial instruments.

H2 DERIVATIVES
H2.1 Accounting policies
 
Derivatives Derivatives are initially measured at fair value and are subsequently remeasured at fair value. Any directly attributable transaction costs are recognised in profit or loss as incurred.
 

Derivative instruments comprise interest rate swaps and exchange rate zero cost collars (put and call options). The interest rate swaps are used to hedge interest rate exposure on long-term debt facilities and corporate bonds. Zero cost collars are used to hedge the exchange rate in anticipation of receipt of dividends from Hystead and Hyprop Mauritius.

Further disclosure on the designation of the interest rate swaps and their risk mitigation role is provided in note M3 – Interest rate risk and sensitivity.

H3 FINANCIAL GUARANTEES
H3.1 Accounting policies
 

Financial guarantees are contracts that require the group to make specified payments to reimburse the holder for a loss that it incurs because a specified debtor fails to make payment when it is due in accordance with the original or modified terms of a debt instrument. Liabilities under financial guarantees are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently as follows:

  • From 1 July 2018: at the higher of the loss allowance determined in accordance with IFRS 9 (see note M5.2.3.1) and the amount initially recognised less, when appropriate, the cumulative amount of income recognised in accordance with the principles of IFRS 15: Revenue from contracts with customers
  • Before 1 July 2018: at the higher of the amount determined in accordance with IAS 37: Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets and the amount initially recognised less, when appropriate, cumulative amortisation recognised in accordance with IAS 18: Revenue.

Management assessed the obligations under the guarantees and concluded that these meet the definition of financial guarantees, and the change in fair value of the guarantees represents a charge to profit or loss.
H3.2 Profile
 
USD guarantees The company has provided guarantees to banks that have provided funding to Hyprop Mauritius (a wholly owned subsidiary) and Hystead. The guarantees are secured by mortgage bonds over certain of the company’s South African investment properties as disclosed in note E1.8 – Mortgaged properties. Details of the secured loans are disclosed in note H1.4. On consolidation the USD guarantees are eliminated as the underlying loans are reflected on the statement of financial position.
EUR guarantees

Hyprop and PDI Investment Holdings Limited (PDI) have guaranteed EUR400,8 million of loans advanced by banks to Hystead as follows:

Hyprop EUR360,8 million
PDI EUR40 million

PDI has provided back-to-back guarantees to Hyprop for a further EUR46,8 million (2018: EUR46,8 million) (equivalent to 11,7% of the EUR408,0 million guaranteed debt).

For the EUR73,2 million of debt (2018: EUR73,2 million) (18,3% of the EUR400,8 million guaranteed debts) which Hyprop has guaranteed in excess of its pro rata 60% interest in Hystead, Hyprop receives 60% of the related dividends declared to PDI from Hystead, which equates to 11% (60% x 18,3%) of the dividends paid by Hystead, as a guarantee fee (the credit enhancement fee).

This agreement is in place until May 2021, when the shareholders’ agreement between Hyprop and PDI, as shareholders in Hystead, expires.

During the year, loans of EUR400,8 million (EUR360,8 million of which were guaranteed by Hyprop) were refinanced and Hyprop provided new guarantees for EUR360,8 million of the new loans. This resulted in the derecognition of the guarantees given in respect of the expired loans and recognition of the new guarantees as financial liabilities.

H3.3 Key estimates and assumptions
 
Valuation of financial guarantees

The guarantees issued by Hyprop are recognised as financial liabilities on the statement of financial position at the higher of the day one fair value or ECL value.

The valuation of the financial guarantees have been calculated by independent advisers as follows:

Contractual future cash flows related to each loan were calculated and then multiplied by an appropriate probability of default (PD) and loss given default (LGD). The amounts were then discounted (using risk-free rates) to either the inception date of the exposure or the valuation date (30 June 2019) to obtain the day-one fair value or expected credit loss (ECL) at 30 June 2019.

For the ECL calculations, these can be calculated for either a 12-month period (stage 1) or lifetime (stage 2). Depending on the stage or exposure, the relevant ECL value was chosen and compared to the day-one fair value. The credit rating of the underlying entities were assumed as one notch lower than Hyprop’s credit rating.

In previous years credit default swaps were used to assess the probability of default on the underlying loans. Following implementation of IFRS 9: Financial instruments, more information on historical default rates is available in the market. This has been used to calculate the fair values of the new guarantees issued during the year.

Disclosure of the sensitivity of the valuation of the financial guarantees to changes in the underlying assumptions is included in note L4.2.

H4 COVENANTS AND CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
H4.1 External restrictions
 

In terms of the agreements between the group and the financial institutions who have granted loans to the group, the group is required to maintain certain key financial ratios (covenants) above or below specified benchmarks. If a covenant is breached on or before the reporting date, the affected loans should be classified as current if the group does not have the right to defer settlement for at least 12 months after the reporting date.
