Financial highlights
The Group’s consolidated AIFRS statutory profit is $133.5 million up 23.3% from $108.3 million in FY14
Abacus underlying profit $128.3 million, up 27%
Year in review
Strong transactional markets driven by demand for yield
- Took advantage of strong pricing of mature assets and sold properties and projects either owned wholly by Abacus or in partnership with others for c.$751 million of total value
Fundamental value harder to find
Abacus underlying earnings¹ per security 24.5 cents, up 17%
- Despite this we sourced acquisitions of over $633 million of total value (Abacus share $282 million)
Abacus FY15 distribution per security increased to 17.0 cents
Cemented our credentials as a partner with global investment firms
Abacus cashflow from operations of $122.2 million adequately covers the Group’s FY15 distributions
Net tangible assets (NTA) of $2.49 per security, up 4.6%
-
Expanded third party capital platform with the development of two new investment relationships
-
Added $456 million of assets to our third party capital platform to over $1 billion of total assets purchased
-
Sold $248 million of assets from the platform, delivering an average IRR of 27.2%
Gearing reduced to 18.2%
A lack of value in available commercial real estate has driven an increase in investment into residential developments during the year
-
Strong risk adjusted returns at this point in the cycle
-
$110 million invested in new and existing opportunities
-
Larger number of smaller opportunities to increase diversification and reduce concentration risk

Storage total return/risk analysis
Storage facility is like a retail business without the higher risk impacts of consumer confidence and shopper apathy
Global evidence illustrates that risk is mitigated by resilient operating cashflows, especially across a large number of assets in different regions
The cash based income return is paid in advance without incentives or rent free components
Portfolio delivered a geared total return including capital growth of 19.3%
- Cap rate reduction from 8.8% to 8.6% illustrates that capital growth component is not overly reliant on cap rate compression
Cap rate compression has been substantially softer than other sectors over the last 5 years
-
Abacus portfolio has tightened 50bp over 5 years from 9.1% to 8.6%
-
Further cap rate compression anticipated as sector matures and wider institutional awareness
Sector has potential to deliver strong total returns of 20%+ per annum
