Summar y

  • Abacus is well advanced on its evolution and expects continued delivery of its transition towards a more annuity style, strong asset backed business model

  • Identified opportunities in excess of $710 million in FY20 in the key sectors of Office and Self Storage

  • Post completion of Placement, proforma expected gearing[1] of 15% pre funding of identified opportunities (c.27% post)

  • FY19 declared distribution of 18.5 cents per security

  • Preliminary unaudited FY19 Underlying Profit[2] of 24.0 cents per security and FFO of 22.2 cents per security

  • Abacus provides preliminary guidance for FY20 distribution per security growth of 2% - 3% on the declared FY19 distribution including the impact of the Placement

  • The payout ratio for FY20 is expected to increase to 85% to 95% of FFO, with the higher payout ratio expected to be supported by the increased contribution from more constant annuity style earnings[3]

  • Bank debt less cash divided by total assets less cash

  • Calculated in accordance with the AICD/Finsia principles for reporting underlying profit.

  • Group level results continue to be impacted by execution of the stated strategy toward a more annuity style business. Therefore, FY20 is expected to be impacted by timing and quantum of deployment of capital within key focus sectors of Office and Self Storage, as well as divestment of non-core assets.

Ke risks y

A number of risks and uncertainties, which are both specific to Abacus and of a more general nature, may affect Abacus' business, financial condition and operational results and the value of the Abacus Securities.

Business Specific Risks

==> picture [26 x 42] intentionally omitted <==

Investment Mandate

This section identifies the key risks associated with an investment in Abacus Securities. The risks set out below are not listed in order of importance and do not constitute an exhaustive list of all risks involved with an investment in Abacus Securities.

You should carefully consider the risks described in this section, the other information in this presentation and the announcement to which it is attached and other publicly available information on Abacus (such as that available on the websites of Abacus and ASX). You should also consider your personal circumstances (including the possibility that you may lose all or a portion of your investment) and consult your financial or other professional adviser before making an investment decision.

If any of the following risks materialise, Abacus' business, financial condition and operational results are likely to suffer. In this case, the trading price of Abacus Securities may fall and you may lose all or part of your investment, and/or the distributable income of Abacus may be lower than expected or zero, with distributions being reduced or being cut to zero.

Additional risks and uncertainties of which Abacus is not aware, or that it currently considers to be immaterial, may also become important factors that adversely affect Abacus' business, financial condition and operational results.

Nothing in this presentation and the announcement to which it is attached is financial product advice and this presentation and the announcement to which it is attached have been prepared without taking into account of your investment objectives or personal circumstances.

The occurrence or consequence of many of the risks described in this section are partially or completely outside the control of Abacus, its directors and management. There can be no guarantee that Abacus will achieve its stated objectives or that any forward looking statements or forecasts contained in this presentation or the announcement to which it is attached will be realised or otherwise eventuate. All potential investors should satisfy themselves that they have a sufficient understanding of these matters, including the risks described in this section, and have regard to their own investment objectives, financial circumstances and taxation position.

Cooling off rights do not apply to the acquisition of New Abacus Securities.

Whilst it is Abacus' policy to conduct a robust investment approval process together with formal due diligence process in relation to its acquisitions, risks remain that are inherent in such acquisitions. These risks include:

  • Investments not performing in line with Abacus' forecast.

  • Capital expenditure required in any of the acquisition or business opportunities being greater than expected.

  • Breakdown in relationship with a joint venture partner.

  • A downturn in the relevant local market conditions.

The occurrence of these risks may adversely affect Abacus' financial condition, net tangible assets and/or operational results.

There is also a risk that adverse changes in market conditions may negatively impact on growth and returns to Abacus securityholders.

Development

Abacus is involved in the development of Office and Self Storage real estate. While it is Abacus' policy to retain oversight of developments through a Project Control Group, limiting exposure to assets under development and to individual contractors, property development projects have a number of risks, including:

  • Planning consents and regulatory approvals not being obtained or, if obtained, being received later than expected, or being adverse to Abacus' interests, or not being properly adhered to.

  • Escalation of development costs beyond those originally expected.

  • Unforeseeable project delays beyond the control of Abacus.

  • Non-performance / breach of contract by a contractor or sub-contractor.

The occurrence of these risks may adversely affect Abacus' financial condition, net tangible assets and/or operational results.

31 Abacus Property Group | Equity Raising Presentation July 2019

NOT FOR RELEASE OR DISTRIBUTION IN THE UNITED STATES

Ke risks y

Capital Management (including macro-economic factors)

Adverse economic changes may impact on Abacus' ability to refinance its existing debt obligations which may result in Abacus being unable to maintain sufficient liquidity. In such circumstances, Abacus may not be able to execute its strategy and to also meet its debt maturity obligations which could result in Abacus' inability to operate as a going concern.

There is also a risk that an increase in interest rates (to the extent that they are not hedged) may impact on Abacus' forecasted interest costs. An increase in interest payable on Abacus' debt obligations may lead to a detrimental impact on investment performance through lower returns to securityholders and may also affect Abacus' financial condition and/or operating results.

Health, Safety and Environment

Incidents may arise (including potential terrorist threats) which cause injury to tenants, visitors to properties, employees and/or contractors. The impact of this risk on Abacus includes:

  • Harm to tenants, visitors to Abacus' properties, employees and/or contractors.

  • Criminal or civil proceedings against Abacus which may result in fines, penalties, compensation and/or imprisonment.

  • Reputational damage arising as a result of any such proceedings.

  • Resultant adverse effects on Abacus' financial condition and operational results.

People and Culture

Abacus is reliant on attracting, retaining and developing talented employees and providing an inclusive workplace. The inability to attract, retain and develop such employees together with maintaining an inclusive workplace which maintains a high performing, ethical and values based workplace (including complying with internal policies), may result in the following impacts on Abacus:

  • Failure to provide an environment that enables employees to excel.

==> picture [26 x 42] intentionally omitted <==

Information Security

Abacus is exposed to the risk of loss of data, breach of confidentiality, regulatory breaches (in respect of privacy) and /or reputational impacts including as a result from a cyber-attack. The impact of the occurrence of this risk may include the following:

  • Limits Abacus' ability to deliver the business objectives and strategy.

  • Criminal or civil proceedings which may result in fines and penalties or other liabilities

  • Reputational damage arising as a result of any such proceedings.

  • Resultant adverse effects on Abacus' financial condition and operational results.

Realisation of Assets

Property assets are by their nature illiquid investments. This may make it difficult to alter the balance of Abacus' income sources in the short term in response to changes in economic or other conditions. If property assets are required to be disposed in order to raise liquidity, it may not be possible to dispose of assets in a timely manner or at an optimal price. This may adversely affect Abacus' financial condition and operational results, and the market value of Abacus Securities.

Acquisition risk

As described in this presentation, Abacus is undertaking the Placement in order to fund identified acquisitions of real estate investments. As is the case with acquisitions which Abacus undertakes generally (and as further described in this Key Risks section), Abacus is exposed to a number of risks in respect of these identified acquisitions, which may include:

  • An inability to complete or a time delay due to the uncertain nature of the acquisitions.

  • The actual net income received and/or capital expenditure incurred may deviate from Abacus’ forecast.

To the extent that the identified acquisition is not able to complete, Abacus will apply funds raised under the Placement to the other acquisition and development opportunities, and otherwise to reduce its debt.

  • Failure to provide a safe working environment free of harassment, bullying and discrimination.

  • Limits the ability to achieve business objectives in line with Abacus' values.

The occurrence of these risks may adversely affect Abacus’ financial condition, net tangible assets and/or operational results.

Environmental and social sustainability

Abacus is exposed to a range of environmental risks which may result in additional expenditure and/or project delays. This includes operating in a manner that does not compromise the health of ecosystems and meets accepted social norms, together with consideration of climate change, energy intensity, community well-being and supply chain integrity. A failure to mitigate this risk may result in the following impacts:

  • Negative impacts to communities, the environment and ecosystems in which Abacus operates.

  • Limits Abacus' ability to deliver the business objectives and strategy.

  • Criminal or civil proceedings which may result in fines and penalties or other liabilities

  • Reputational damage arising as a result of any such proceedings.

  • Resultant adverse effects on Abacus' financial condition and operational results.

Underwriting

The Placement is being underwritten on the terms, and subject to the conditions, of an underwriting agreement entered into between the Joint Lead Managers and Abacus on the date of this presentation (Underwriting Agreement).

The Underwriting Agreement contains customary terms and conditions, including representations, warranties, undertakings and indemnities given by Abacus and termination rights in favour of the Joint Lead Managers. Many of the events that give the Joint Lead Managers a right to terminate the Underwriting Agreement (each, a Termination Event) are beyond the control of Abacus. If a Termination Event occurs and the Joint Lead Managers exercise their right to terminate, there is a risk that the Placement will not be underwritten and, therefore, a risk that the proceeds of the Placement will be less than the amount sought, which will impact on Abacus' ability to pursue future growth.

The Joint Lead Managers' rights to terminate the Underwriting Agreement arise if any of the following events occur (among others):

  • Abacus ceases to be admitted to the official list of ASX or its securities are suspended from trading, or cease to be quoted, on ASX (other than a trading halt in connection with the Placement).

  • Approval to the official quotation of the New Abacus Securities is not given by ASX. On an unconditional basis

  • There are certain delays in the timetable of the Placement without the consent of the Joint Lead Managers.

  • There are financial or economic disruptions in certain key markets or hostilities commence or a major escalation occurs in certain key countries.

  • There is a material adverse change in the financial position, results, conditions, operation or prospects of Abacus.

Change in value of, and income from, properties

Returns from property investments largely depend on the rental income generated from the property and the expenses incurred in its operation, including the management and maintenance of the property, as well as changes in the market value of the property. Rental income and/or the market value of properties may be adversely affected by a number of factors, including:

  • The overall economic conditions, including interest rates, risk appetite, the funding environment and unemployment rate.

  • Local real estate conditions, including volumes of sales, the ability to procure tenants, market rental rates, property yields and occupancy levels.

  • The intensity of competition with other participants in the property industry.

  • The convenience and quality of properties.

  • Operating, maintenance and refurbishment expenses, as well as unforeseen capital expenditure.

  • Supply of developable land, new properties and other investment properties.

  • Investor demand/liquidity in investments.

  • The capitalisation rates considered appropriate by independent valuers, which may change in response to market conditions.

A decrease in returns from property investments may adversely affect Abacus' financial condition and operational results, as well as the distributions paid or payable by Abacus and the market value of Abacus Securities.

Capital expenditure

  • Abacus withdraws the Placement.

In some cases (including the financial or economic disruptions referred to above), the Joint Lead Managers' ability to terminate the Underwriting Agreement will depend on whether the event has or is likely to have a materially adverse effect on the marketing or settlement of the Placement, or has given or is likely to give rise to a contravention by the Joint Lead Managers of any applicable law.

Abacus may be exposed to unforeseen capital expenditure requirements which may be required to maintain the quality of its assets and/or tenants. This may adversely affect Abacus’ financial condition and operational results.

Fixed nature of costs

Abacus incurs costs associated with the ownership and management of property assets which are fixed in nature. These include maintenance costs, employee costs and taxes. The value of an asset owned (wholly or in part) by Abacus may be adversely affected if the income from the asset declines while other related expenses remain unchanged. This may adversely affect Aacus’ financial condition and operational results.

Inflation and construction costs

Higher than expected inflation rates generally, or specific to the property development industry in particular, could be expected to increase operating and development costs, and potentially reduce the value of development land. This may adversely affect Abacus’ financial condition and operational results.

Financial Covenants

Abacus has various covenants in relation to its debt facilities, including gearing ratio requirements and other debt covenants. As of the date of this presentation, Abacus was in compliance with all covenants under its debt facilities. Factors such as falls in asset values and the inability to achieve timely asset sales at prices acceptable to Abacus, could lead to a breach in debt covenants. In these circumstances, lenders may seek to exercise enforcement rights under the finance documentation (with such rights may include requiring the loans to be repaid immediately). Such events may require Abacus to raise further equity, dispose of assets for a lower market value than could otherwise have been realised or reduce or suspend distributions to securityholders in order to repay the relevant debt facility.

Counterparty / Credit Risk

Abacus is exposed to the risk that third parties, such as tenants, developers and other contract counterparties may not be willing or able to perform their obligations owed to Abacus. The failure of third parties to discharge their agreed responsibilities may adversely affect Abacus' financial condition and operational results.

Litigation and disputes

Abacus is exposed to legal and other disputes which may arise from time to time in the ordinary course of operations. Any such dispute(s) may adversely impact Abacus’ financial condition and operational results, and also may cause reputational damage.

Changes in accounting policy

There may be changes in accounting standards issued by AASB or the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) which may have an adverse impact on Abacus.

Insurance

Abacus holds and purchases insurance, customarily carried by property owners, managers, developers and construction entities that provides a degree of protection for its assets, liabilities and people. Such policies include material damage of assets, contract works, business interruption, general and professional liability and workers compensation. There are however certain risks that are uninsurable (e.g. nuclear, chemical or biological incidents) or risks where the insurance coverage is reduced (e.g. cyclone, earthquake). Abacus also faces risk associated with the financial strength of their insurers to meet indemnity obligations when called upon which could have an adverse effect on earnings. Further, insurance may be materially detrimentally affected by economic conditions so that insurance becomes more expensive or in some cases, unavailable

Taxation Issues

Future changes in Australian taxation law, or changes in interpretation or application of the law by the courts or taxation authorities in Australia, may affect taxation treatment of an investment in Abacus Securities, or the holding and disposal of those securities. Further, changes in taxation law (including land tax, goods and services taxes and stamp duty), or changes in the way taxation law is expected to be interpreted, in the various jurisdictions in which Abacus operates may impact the future taxation liabilities of Abacus and the trusts, companies and joint ventures in which it holds an interest.

Under current income tax legislation, Abacus’ “flow-through” trusts are generally not liable for Australian income tax, including capital gains tax. Should the actions or activities of one of Abacus’ “flow-through” trusts (or their controlled entities) cause the relevant trust to fall within the operative provisions of Division 6C of Part III of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936 (Cth), the relevant trust may be taxed on its (taxable) income at a rate which is currently equivalent to the corporate income tax rate of 30%.

Abacus Property Group is NOT a managed investment trust (MIT) and payments made under discounted capital gains relate to assets that are taxable Australian real property (TARP) within the meaning of s855-15 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 (Cth) except where otherwise indicated.

Abacus Trust, Abacus Income Trust, Abacus Storage Property Trust, Abacus Group Projects Limited and Abacus Storage Operations Limited expect to be classified as passive foreign investment companies (PFIC) for United States federal income tax purposes for its current taxable year and each such entities, including Abacus Funds Management Limited and Abacus Storage Funds Management Limited as the responsible entity of the Abacus Trust, Abacus Income Trust and Abacus Storage Property Trust expect this classification to continue in future taxable years. Abacus Group Holdings Limited may also be classified as a PFIC for its current taxable year and such classification may continue into future taxable years. You are urged to consult with your tax and/or other professional advisers in respect of the particular tax consequences of purchasing, owning or disposing of Abacus Securities in light of your particular situation as well as any consequences arising under the laws of any other taxing jurisdiction.

Competition

Abacus operates in a competitive industry and faces competition from other property groups. Such competition could adversely impact on Abacus’ operations, which may result in a loss of potential tenants to competitors; inability to negotiate lease renewals or to avoid reduction in rents for Abacus’ tenants.

Regulatory issues and changes in law

Abacus is exposed to a risk that changes in relevant laws, accounting standards, other legal, legislative and administrative regimes, and government policies (including Government fiscal, monetary and regulatory policies), may have an adverse effect on the assets, operations and, ultimately, the financial performance of Abacus. These factors may ultimately affect Abacus’ financial position and performance and the market price of Abacus’ stapled securities.

General Risks

General Economic Risks

Abacus’ financial condition and operational results are influenced by a variety of general economic and business conditions in Australia and offshore, including the level of inflation, interest rates, exchange rates, unemployment rate, commodity prices, ability to access funding, oversupply and demand conditions and government, fiscal, monetary and regulatory policies. Prolonged deterioration in these conditions, including an increase in interest rates, an increase in the cost of capital or a decrease in consumer demand, could have a materially adverse impact on Abacus’ financial condition and operational results.

Pricing risk

Abacus Securities may trade on the ASX at, above or below the offer price per New Abacus Security. The price of Abacus Securities can fall as well as rise. The price at which Abacus Securities trade on the ASX may be affected by a range of factors including: movements and volatility in international and local share markets; general economic conditions in Australia and offshore, including inflation, interest rates and exchange rates; recommendations by brokers; changes in government, fiscal, monetary and regulatory policies; changes to laws (particularly taxation laws); inclusion or removal from market indices; and changes in the supply and demand of REITs. Changes in the stock market rating of Abacus Securities relative to other listed securities, especially other REITs, may also affect prices at which the Abacus Securities trade.

Liquidity risk

There can be no assurance of an active trading market for Abacus Securities. Liquidity of the Abacus Securities will be dependent on the relative volume of the buyers and sellers in the market at any given time. Changes in liquidity may affect the price at which securityholders are able to sell their Abacus Securities.

International Offer Restrictions

This document does not constitute an offer of new stapled securities ("New Securities") of Abacus Property Group (the “Group”) in any jurisdiction in which it would be unlawful. In particular, this document may not be distributed to any person, and the New Securities may not be offered or sold, in any country outside Australia except to the extent permitted below.

Canada (British Columbia, Ontario and Quebec provinces)

This document constitutes an offering of New Securities only in the Provinces of British Columbia, Ontario and Quebec (the "Provinces") and to those persons to whom they may be lawfully distributed in the Provinces, and only by persons permitted to sell such New Securities. This document is not, and under no circumstances is to be construed as, an advertisement or a public offering of securities in the Provinces. This document may only be distributed in the Provinces to persons that are "accredited investors" within the meaning of NI 45-106 – Prospectus Exemptions, of the Canadian Securities Administrators.

No securities commission or similar authority in the Provinces has reviewed or in any way passed upon this document, the merits of the New Securities or the offering of New Securities and any representation to the contrary is an offence.

No prospectus has been, or will be, filed in the Provinces with respect to the offering of New Securities or the resale of such securities. Any person in the Provinces lawfully participating in the offer will not receive the information, legal rights or protections that would be afforded had a prospectus been filed and receipted by the securities regulator in the applicable Province. Furthermore, any resale of the New Securities in the Provinces must be made in accordance with applicable Canadian securities laws which may require resales to be made in accordance with exemptions from dealer registration and prospectus requirements. These resale restrictions may in some circumstances apply to resales of the New Securities outside Canada and, as a result, Canadian purchasers should seek legal advice prior to any resale of the New Securities.

The Group as well as its directors and officers may be located outside Canada and, as a result, it may not be possible for purchasers to effect service of process within Canada upon the Group or its directors or officers. All or a substantial portion of the assets of the Group and such persons may be located outside Canada and, as a result, it may not be possible to satisfy a judgment against the Group or such persons in Canada or to enforce a judgment obtained in Canadian courts against the Group or such persons outside Canada.

Any financial information contained in this document has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards and interpretations issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. Unless stated otherwise, all dollar amounts contained in this document are in Australian dollars.

==> picture [26 x 42] intentionally omitted <==

The following is a summary of the statutory rights of rescission or to damages, or both, available to purchasers in Ontario. In Ontario, every purchaser of the New Securities purchased pursuant to this document (other than (a) a "Canadian financial institution" or a "Schedule III bank" (each as defined in NI 45-106), (b) the Business Development Bank of Canada or (c) a subsidiary of any person referred to in (a) or (b) above, if the person owns all the voting securities of the subsidiary, except the voting securities required by law to be owned by the directors of that subsidiary) shall have a statutory right of action for damages and/or rescission against the Group if this document or any amendment thereto contains a misrepresentation. If a purchaser elects to exercise the right of action for rescission, the purchaser will have no right of action for damages against the Group. This right of action for rescission or damages is in addition to and without derogation from any other right the purchaser may have at law. In particular, Section 130.1 of the Securities Act (Ontario) provides that, if this document contains a misrepresentation, a purchaser who purchases the New Securities during the period of distribution shall be deemed to have relied on the misrepresentation if it was a misrepresentation at the time of purchase and has a right of action for damages or, alternatively, may elect to exercise a right of rescission against the Group, provided that (a) the Group will not be liable if it proves that the purchaser purchased the New Securities with knowledge of the misrepresentation; (b) in an action for damages, the Group is not liable for all or any portion of the damages that the Group proves does not represent the depreciation in value of the New Securities as a result of the misrepresentation relied upon; and (c) in no case shall the amount recoverable exceed the price at which the New Securities were offered.

Section 138 of the Securities Act (Ontario) provides that no action shall be commenced to enforce these rights more than (a) in the case of any action for rescission, 180 days after the date of the transaction that gave rise to the cause of action or (b) in the case of any action, other than an action for rescission, the earlier of (i) 180 days after the purchaser first had knowledge of the fact giving rise to the cause of action or (ii) three years after the date of the transaction that gave rise to the cause of action. These rights are in addition to and not in derogation from any other right the purchaser may have.

Certain Canadian income tax considerations . Prospective purchasers of the New Securities should consult their own tax adviser with respect to any taxes payable in connection with the acquisition, holding or disposition of the New Securities as any discussion of taxation related matters in this document is not a comprehensive description and there are a number of substantive Canadian tax compliance requirements for investors in the Provinces.

Language of documents in Canada . Upon receipt of this document, each investor in Canada hereby confirms that it has expressly requested that all documents evidencing or relating in any way to the sale of the New Securities (including for greater certainty any purchase confirmation or any notice) be drawn up in the English language only. Par la réception de ce document, chaque investisseur canadien confirme par les présentes qu’il a expressément exigé que tous les documents faisant foi ou se rapportant de quelque manière que ce soit à la vente des valeurs mobilières décrites aux présentes (incluant, pour plus de certitude, toute confirmation d’achat ou tout avis) soient rédigés en anglais seulement.

Statutory rights of action for damages and rescission

Securities legislation in certain of the Provinces may provide purchasers with, in addition to any other rights they may have at law, rights of rescission or to damages, or both, when an offering memorandum that is delivered to purchasers contains a misrepresentation. These rights and remedies must be exercised within prescribed time limits and are subject to the defenses contained in applicable securities legislation. Prospective purchasers should refer to the applicable provisions of the securities legislation of their respective Province for the particulars of these rights or consult with a legal adviser.
