Table 20: Reconciliation of segment reporting to statutory reporting
The table below reconciles the Group's income statement to the segment note (note 2 to the financial statements). The
Group's income statement is prepared using the equity accounting method for joint ventures and includes 100% of the results
of the Group's non-wholly owned subsidiaries. In contrast, the segment note is prepared on a proportionately consolidated
basis and excludes the non-wholly owned share of the Group's subsidiaries. This is consistent with the financial
information reviewed by management.

6. Dividend related services
· Dividend payments to UK shareholders - Dividend Mandates
Land Securities recommends that dividends are paid directly into a nominated bank or building society account through the
Bankers Automated Clearing System (BACS). This service provides cleared funds on the dividend payment date, is more secure
than sending a cheque by post and avoids the inconvenience of paying each dividend by cheque. This arrangement is only
available in respect of dividends paid in sterling.
· Dividend payments to overseas shareholders - International Payment Service
For international shareholders who would prefer to receive payment of their dividends in local currency and directly into
their local bank account, an Overseas Payment Service (OPS) is available. This can be more convenient and effective than
otherwise receiving dividend payments by sterling cheque or into a UK bank account.
The OPS service is available from Equiniti who, in partnership with Citibank, may be able to convert sterling dividends
into your local currency at competitive rates and either arrange for those funds to be sent to you by currency draft or
credited to your bank account directly.
· Dividend Reinvestment Plan (DRIP)
A DRIP is available from Equiniti. This facility provides an opportunity by which shareholders can conveniently and easily
increase their holding in the Company by using their cash dividends to buy more shares. Participation in the DRIP will mean
that your dividend payments will be reinvested in Land Securities shares and these will be purchased on your behalf in the
market on, or as soon as practical after, the dividend payment date.
You may only participate in the DRIP if you are resident in the European Economic Area, Channel Islands or Isle of Man.

EPRA
European Public Real Estate Association.
EPRA net initial yield
EPRA net initial yield is defined within EPRA's Best Practice Recommendations as the annualised rental income based on the
cash rents passing at the balance sheet date, less non-recoverable property operating expenses, divided by the gross market
value of the property. It is consistent with the net initial yield calculated by the Group's external valuers.
Equivalent yield
Calculated by the Group's external valuers, equivalent yield is the internal rate of return from an investment property,
based on the gross outlays for the purchase of a property (including purchase costs), reflecting reversions to current
market rent and such items as voids and non-recoverable expenditure but ignoring future changes in capital value. The
calculation assumes rent is received annually in arrears.
ERV - Gross estimated rental value
The estimated market rental value of lettable space as determined biannually by the Group's external valuers. For
investment properties in the development programme, which have not yet reached practical completion, the ERV represents
management's view of market rents.

These are generally used by the Group to convert floating-rate debt or investments to fixed rates.
Investment portfolio
The investment portfolio comprises the investment properties of the Group's subsidiaries, on a proportionately consolidated
basis where not wholly owned.
Joint venture
An entity in which the Group holds an interest and is jointly controlled by the Group and one or more partners under a
contractual arrangement. Decisions on financial and operating policies essential to the operation, performance and
financial position of the venture require each partner's consent.
Lease incentives
Any incentive offered to occupiers to enter into a lease. Typically the incentive will be an initial rent-free period, or a
cash contribution to fit-out or similar costs. For accounting purposes the value of the incentive is spread over the
non-cancellable life of the lease.
LIBOR
The London Interbank Offered Rate, the interest rate charged by one bank to another for lending money, often used as a
reference rate in bank facilities.
Like-for-like portfolio
The like-for-like portfolio includes all properties which have been in the portfolio since 1 April 2014, but excluding

investment properties and the book value of trading properties of the Group, its subsidiaries and joint ventures, all on a
proportionate basis, expressed as a percentage. For the Security Group, LTV is the ratio of net debt lent to the Security
Group divided by the value of secured assets.
Market value
Market value is determined by the Group's external valuers, in accordance with the RICS Valuation Standards, as an opinion
of the estimated amount for which a property should exchange on the date of valuation between a willing buyer and a willing
seller in an arm's-length transaction after proper marketing.
Mark-to-market adjustment
An accounting adjustment to change the book value of an asset or liability to its market value (see also fair value
movement).
Net asset value (NAV) per share
Equity attributable to owners of the parent divided by the number of ordinary shares in issue at the period end.
Net initial yield
Net initial yield is a calculation by the Group's external valuers of the yield that would be received by a purchaser,
based on the Estimated Net Rental Income expressed as a percentage of the acquisition cost, being the market value plus
assumed usual purchasers' costs at the reporting date. The calculation is in line with EPRA guidance. Estimated Net Rental
Income is determined by the valuer and is based on the passing cash rent less ground rent at the balance sheet date,
estimated non-recoverable outgoings and void costs including service charges, insurance costs and void rates.
Net rental income
Net rental income is the net operational income arising from properties, on an accruals basis, including rental income,
finance lease interest, rents payable, service charge income and expense, other property related income, direct property
expenditure and bad debts. Net rental income is presented on a proportionate basis.
Outline planning consent
This gives consent in principle for a development, and covers matters such as use and building mass. Full details of the
development scheme must be provided in an application for 'reserved matters approval', including detailed layout, scale,
appearance, access and landscaping, before a project can proceed. An outline planning permission will lapse if the
submission of 'reserved matters' has not been made within three years, or if it has not been implemented within three years
or within two years of the final approval of 'reserved matters', unless otherwise expressly stated within conditions
attached to the permission itself or, for any permissions granted on or before 1 October 2009, a successful application has
been made to extend the time within which 'reserved matters' application can be submitted, or the overall limit for
commencement of development.
Over-rented
Space where the passing rent is above the ERV.
Passing cash rent
The estimated annual rent receivable as at the reporting date which includes estimates of turnover rent and estimates of
rent to be agreed in respect of outstanding rent review or lease renewal negotiations. Passing cash rent may be more or
less than the ERV (see over-rented, reversionary and ERV). Passing cash rent excludes annual rent receivable from units in
administration save to the extent that rents are expected to be received. Void units and units that are in a rent-free
period at the reporting date are deemed to have no passing cash rent. Although temporary lets of less than 12 months are
treated as void, income from temporary lets is included in passing cash rents.
Pre-let
A lease signed with an occupier prior to completion of a development.
Pre-development properties
Pre-development properties are those properties within the like-for-like portfolio which are being managed to align vacant
possession within a three year horizon with a view to redevelopment.
Property Income Distribution (PID)
A PID is a distribution by a REIT to its shareholders paid out of qualifying profits. A REIT is required to distribute at
least 90% of its qualifying profits as a PID to its shareholders.
Proposed developments
Proposed developments are properties which have not yet received final Board approval or are still subject to main planning
conditions being satisfied, but which are more likely to proceed than not.
Qualifying activities/Qualifying assets

Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT)
A REIT must be a publicly quoted company with at least three-quarters of its profits and assets derived from a qualifying
property rental business. Income and capital gains from the property rental business are exempt from tax but the REIT is
required to distribute at least 90% of those profits to shareholders. Corporation tax is payable on non-qualifying
activities in the normal way.
Rental value change
Increase or decrease in the current rental value, as determined by the Group's external valuers, over the reporting period
on a like-for-like basis.
Rental income
Rental income is as reported in the income statement, on an accruals basis, and adjusted for the spreading of lease
incentives over the term certain of the lease in accordance with SIC 15. It is stated gross, prior to the deduction of
ground rents and without deduction for operational outgoings on car park and commercialisation activities.
Return on average capital employed
Group profit before interest, plus joint venture profit before interest, divided by the average capital employed (defined
as shareholders' funds plus adjusted net debt).
Return on average equity
Group profit before tax plus joint venture tax divided by the average equity shareholders' funds.
Revenue profit
Profit before tax, excluding profits on the sale of non-current assets and trading properties, profits on long-term
development contracts, valuation movements, fair value movements on interest-rate swaps and similar instruments used for
hedging purposes, the adjustment to interest payable resulting from the amortisation of the bond exchange de-recognition
adjustment, debt restructuring charges, and any other items of an exceptional nature.
Reversionary or under-rented
Space where the passing rent is below the ERV.
Reversionary yield
The anticipated yield to which the initial yield will rise (or fall) once the rent reaches the ERV.
Scrip dividend
A scrip dividend is when shareholders are offered the opportunity to receive dividends in the form of shares instead of
cash.
Security Group

Temporary lettings
Lettings for a period of one year or less. These are included within voids.
Topped-up net initial yield
Topped-up net initial yield is a calculation by the Group's external valuers. It is calculated by making an adjustment to
net initial yield in respect of the annualised cash rent foregone through unexpired rent-free periods and other lease
incentives. The calculation is consistent with EPRA guidance.
Total business return
Dividend paid per share, plus the change in adjusted diluted net asset value per share, divided by the adjusted diluted net
asset value per share at the beginning of the year.
Total cost ratio
Total cost ratio represents all costs included within revenue profit, other than rents payable and financing costs,
expressed as a percentage of gross rental income before rents payable.
Total development cost (TDC)
Total development cost refers to the book value of the site at the commencement of the project, the estimated capital
expenditure required to develop the scheme from the start of the financial year in which the property is added to our
development programme, together with capitalised interest, being the Group's borrowing costs associated with direct
expenditure on the property under development. Interest is also capitalised on the purchase cost of land or property where
it is acquired specifically for redevelopment. The TDC for trading property development schemes excludes any estimated tax
on disposal.
Total property return
Valuation movement, profit/loss on property sales and net rental income in respect of investment properties expressed as a
percentage of opening book value, together with the time weighted value for capital expenditure incurred during the current

Voids
Voids are expressed as a percentage of ERV and represent all unlet space, including voids where refurbishment work is being
carried out and voids in respect of pre-development properties. Temporary lettings for a period of one year or less are
also treated as voids.
Weighted average cost of capital (WACC)
Weighted average cost of debt and notional cost of equity, used as a benchmark to assess investment returns.
Weighted average unexpired lease term
The weighted average of the unexpired term of all leases other than short-term lettings such as car parks and advertising
hoardings, temporary lettings of less than one year, residential leases and long ground leases.
Yield shift
A movement (negative or positive) in the equivalent yield of a property asset.
Zone A
A means of analysing and comparing the rental value of retail space by dividing it into zones parallel with the main
frontage. The most valuable zone, Zone A, is at the front of the unit. Each successive zone is valued at half the rate of
the zone in front of it.
