H2 DERIVATIVES
H2.1 Accounting policy
 

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, exchange rate zero cost collars (put and call options) and forward exchange contracts. 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. Forward exchange contracts are used to hedge amounts committed to recapitalise Hyprop Mauritius and anticipated dividends from Hystead.

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 policy
 

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 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.

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 Key judgements and estimations
 

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 fair value 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 2020) to obtain the day-one fair value or expected credit loss (ECL) at 30 June 2020 respectively.

In determining the ECL for the financial guarantee, an adjustment to the credit risk profile of the entities was considered given the economic effects of the Covid-19 pandemic. This was performed by first determining the historic GDP and associated corporate default probabilities, and then applying the forecasted GDP for 2020 per country to project the expected probability of default (PD). The resultant PD's therefore incorporate forward looking macro-economic information.

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 is compared to the day-one fair value. Due to the difficult market conditions affecting the real estate environment globally and the impact of Covid-19, the current lifetime (stage 2) ECL has been used as the valuation basis and compared to the day-one fair values. The credit rating of the underlying entities were assumed as one notch lower than Hyprop's credit rating.

Disclosure of the sensitivity of the valuations of the financial guarantees to changes in the underlying assumptions is included in note H3.7 - Valuation sensitivity.

H3.3 Profile
  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.
H3.3.1 USD guarantees
  On consolidation the USD guarantees are eliminated as the underlying loans are reflected on the statement of financial position.
   
H3.3.2 EUR guarantees
  Hyprop and PDI Investment Holdings Limited (PDI) have guaranteed EUR 401.5 million of loans advanced by banks to Hystead as follows:
 

Hyprop    EUR 361.5 million (June 2019: EUR 360.8 million)
PDI           EUR 40 million (June 2019: EUR 40 million)

PDI has provided back-to-back guarantees to Hyprop for a further EUR 46.8 million (2019: EUR 46.8 million) (equivalent to 11.7% of the EUR 401.5 million (2019: EUR 400.8 million) guaranteed debt).

H3.8 Valuation sensitivity
 

The valuation of the financial guarantees is sensitive to changes to the unobservable inputs. Changes to one of the unobservable inputs, while holding the other inputs constant, would have the following effects on the carrying value of the financial guarantees on the statement of financial position.

The USD based guarantees all take into account the negative net asset value of the underlying entity (Hyprop Mauritius). Due to the negative net asset value of Hyprop Mauritius being greater than the changes under the sensitivity testing, the valuation of the guarantees given on behalf of Hyprop Mauritius are not affected by the changes in the unobservable inputs and all sensitivity fluctuations relate to the EUR based guarantees.

Hyprop's capital management objective is to maintain a strong capital base to provide sustainable returns to shareholders over the long-term. The Company's borrowings are not limited by its Memorandum of Incorporation. However, in terms of the JSE listings requirements a REIT's total consolidated borrowings may not exceed 60% of its consolidated gross asset value, as reflected in its latest published financial statements or results. Should the 60% threshold be exceeded, Hyprop may lose its REIT status under the JSE rules.

Hyprop's (theoretical) unutilised borrowing capacity can be summarised as follows:
