Agenda
The agenda for today’s meeting includes a brief presentation from me followed by a presentation from Arena REIT’s Managing Director, Bryce Mitchelson on the operating performance of Arena REIT in FY15 and an update on recent activities.
We will then move to general questions followed by the formal business of the meeting, being consideration and voting on six resolutions.
Chairman’s presentation
Investment and Operating Performance
Arena REIT has had another strong year in the 12 months to 30 June 2015, with the reported statutory profit for the year of $61 million, up 31% on the prior year. This was mainly derived from:
-
strong revaluation and disposal gains of $42 million experienced across the portfolio; and
-
increased recurring operating earnings of $22 million, up 15% on the prior year.
From an investor perspective the Statutory profit is reflected in both the underlying earnings and Net Asset Value (NAV) per security movement over the year.
-
Underlying earnings of 10.2 cents per security, an increase of 15% on FY14; and
-
NAV of $1.33, an increase of 18% for the year.
These operating results translated into an overall total return for securityholders, including share price growth and distributions, of 36.3% for the 12 months to 30 June 2015, well ahead of the benchmark ASX 300 A-REIT Accumulation Index performance of 20.2% for the year.
We have achieved all of this while maintaining a healthy balance sheet.
Economic Environment
Arena’s strong investment and operating performance is in the context of a global economy which continues to experience relatively low economic growth and a slowdown in the economy in China which has impacted on the Australian economy. As a result low interest rates have persisted globally and in Australia in order to stimulate improved economic activity. This has driven investors towards investments with relatively high risk adjusted earnings yields with predictable future earnings.
Arena REIT has benefitted in this environment as has property investment generally.

==> picture [73 x 92] intentionally omitted <==
Investment Objective & Strategy
Arena REITs objective is to deliver attractive and predictable distributions to investors with growth over the medium to long term.
Our strategy to achieve this is through investment in Social Infrastructure Property sectors where favourable macro and demographic trends are supportive of underlying demand and growth over the long term. Arena is currently focussed on investment in the Childcare and Medical Centre sectors where both enjoy strong demand and an undersupply of services in a number of locations. The Childcare sector has an overall undersupply of long day care centres and strong government support provides helpful subsidies for families with children under 5 years of age with the prospect of a further boost in federal funding of more than $3.5bn to support increased female work participation. The healthcare property sector is also benefitting from an ageing and growing population supported by national and private health insurance funding.
These favourable macro and demographic trends are also supported by attractive property based characteristics, including:
-
relatively long lease terms, Arena’s current weighted average lease expriry is 8.9 years;
-
premises that have strategic importance for the tenant and therefore high tenant retention rates;
-
leases with minimum annual rent increases, including CPI and/or minimum 2-3% annual increases; and
-
leases where the tenants are responsible for all, or substantially all, of the statutory and operating outgoings and costs including land tax, insurance and repairs and maintenance, thereby minimising capital expenditure requirements.
This strategy has underpinned Arena’s quality and growth in earnings and NAV per security since listing on the ASX in June 2013, which have in turn driven security price growth. The outlook continues to look promising. Bryce Mitchelson will expand on Arena’s operating performance in FY15 and the key drivers of the earnings and NAV growth outlook.
Balance Sheet and Capital Management
While generating this growth, the Board has been mindful of maintaining a strong Balance Sheet to be in a strong position to fund future growth. In February earlier this year, Arena finalised a Placement of $25 million with a range of institutional investors and at 30 June 2015, Arena REIT had Debt to Total assets of 29%, below the maximum gearing range of 3545%. The weighted average debt maturity is approximately 3 years and the average borrowing cost is approximately 4.3% per annum, including margins and line fees. Arena REIT has $44 million surplus debt funding capacity to fund its existing Childcare development pipeline and new acquisitions to contribute to future performance.

==> picture [73 x 92] intentionally omitted <==
Acquisition of Management Rights
In December 2014, securityholders approved the acquisition of the management rights for Arena REIT for $11.7 million and since then Arena REIT has been “internally” managed. This has reduced the total costs of managing Arena and improved alignment of interests with security holders.
Management fees are no longer charged on increased property valuations, or on new acquisitions and developments, and therefore there is no dilution to earnings. There are also no performance fees, acquisition, disposal or debt arrangement fees charged by the manager that can exist in some external management structures.
Management also now have Short & Long Term Incentives with performance measures based only on Arena REIT performance and the LTI is rewarded with Arena REIT equity, subject to achievement of Arena REIT based performance hurdles.
Remuneration
The Remuneration Report included in the Annual Report sets out Arena’s remuneration in some detail. The remuneration paid in the year to 30 June 2015 is consistent with that included in the Notice of Meeting and Explanatory Memorandum for the meeting which considered and voted on the internalisation of management held in December 2014. The remuneration of the Board and management is benchmarked against internalised managed listed AREIT peers and is designed to attract, retain and motivate employees to perform for the benefit of securityholders.
Corporate Governance
The Board of Arena REIT has five directors, three of whom are independent non-executive and therefore the Board has a majority of Independent Non-Executive Directors. I am the Independent Non-Executive Chairman. We believe that five directors is an appropriate size for the current scale of Arena REIT and that we have a suitable mix of skills and experience to be an effective Board although we may introduce an additional director as the business grows. A resolution for the re-election of Dennis Wildenburg forms part of the formal business of today’s meeting.
The Board has two committees, an Audit Committee and a Remuneration & Nomination Committee which are comprised of only the Independent Directors. The Board and its Committees have conducted annual performance evaluations. The Directors report included in the Annual Report to security holders sets out the number of meetings conducted during the year.
Finally, Arena REIT is substantially compliant with the ASX Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations. The areas of non-compliance are due to the size of the business.

We have provided our FY15 Corporate Governance Report to the ASX and a copy can be accessed on either the ASX or the Arena REIT websites.
Conclusion
I would like to conclude by thanking my fellow directors and our management team for their considerable effort in what has been a very busy and active year. I would also like to thank our valued tenants and advisors, and you, our securityholders, for your continued support.
The Board believes that Arena REIT is well placed to continue to deliver attractive and predictable distributions to investors with growth over the medium to long term.
I would now like to welcome your Managing Director, Bryce Mitchelson to provide his operating report on the business and its outlook.
