Aspen’s Business Model
Aspen Provides Quality Accommodation to Australian Households on Competitive Terms
Sustainable Ecological Footprint
Aspen’s efficient dwellings use significantly less resources to manufacture and operate than the average Australian home – we also recycle/refurbish dwellings
With solar installed, our dwellings can produce more renewable energy than they consume
We install energy and water saving devices and metering to reduce resource use
Our communities share resources such as common areas, recreation facilities, gardens and transport
Our parks are highly vegetated, and our land management programs reduce degradation and environmental risks
Aspen’s carbon emission reduction target for the assets that it controls is in accordance with the 2015 Paris Agreement
Customer-centric business model servicing households that can afford no more than $400 weekly rent or $400k purchase price
We provide a range of products demanded by our customers in residential, retirement and park communities
We foster a safe, social, diverse, and inclusive culture in our communities by providing on-site management, customer services, and community facilities which gives our residents a sense of home and meaningful connections to the community
Total value of real estate in Aspen’s addressable market >$1 trillion
Average Average Land Average Dwelling Rent of Site Rent of Dwelling Sales $248 per Week $166 per Week Price of $287k
Some of our properties are located in past and present Indigenous communities, and we actively seek to help these communities and conserve heritage items
Governance
Aspen Group comprises Aspen Group Limited and Aspen Property Trust with two separate independent Boards
Aspen provides equal employment opportunities regardless of gender, gender-identity, age, culture, race, religion and lifestyle choices

At the start of the pandemic in early 2020 we quickly moved to leasing our traditional tourist cabins for longer stay residential purposes – we have subsequently pivoted between short stay and longer stay leasing depending on the season and the ever-changing lockdown status
-
Across our whole portfolio of these cabins and sites, this strategy has resulted in lower average rates, but higher occupancy and total revenue - the cost of servicing longer stay residents is lower than for short stay, therefore total NOI has also increased
-
Our two parks most impacted by COVID-19, Tween Waters near the NSW-VIC border and Adelaide Caravan Park near the Adelaide CBD, still experienced material declines in NOI – we expect NOI to recover once lockdowns end
Excludes Aspen Karratha Village which was leased to Woodside under a long term arrangement until late January 2021

-
Development and trading activity continues to increase
-
Aspen achieved over $25m of development revenues from its own and funds’ projects - over time we expect an increasing proportion of development activity and returns to be on Aspen’s balance sheet
-
The repositioning and upgrade of Sweetwater Grove into a land lease retirement community has been well received by new customers – both prices and volumes of new house sales have increased
-
We are still in the planning phase for the Mount Barker development – optimising the configuration and mix of residential and land lease sites (STCA)
-
The acquisition of the Lewis Fields and Wodonga Gardens retirement communities adds 175 approved land development sites to Aspen’s pipeline at a very low cost
-
We expect to continue to rapidly grow D&T profits – we have already secured 31 deposits/contracts/sales in FY22 compared to 26 sales on balance sheet in FY21
-
Wodonga Gardens value is Aspen’s contracted purchase price – not yet externally valued. ^Four Lanterns sites are fully developed with all site infrastructure installed

-
At AKV we pivoted to a short stay model after Woodside’s lease expiry in January 2021
-
We have internalised management of the property and relocated our park manager from Darwin Freespirit Resort – we now have greater control over the operations and distribution, and we have also reduced costs
-
We are upgrading cabins and common areas which will further enhance AKV as one of the best parks in the region
-
Occupancy has been building well across a very diverse customer base and room rates are materially higher than than under Woodside’s lease
-
Discussions are ongoing with major corporates for longer term leases – much of the potential growth in Karratha is contingent on Woodside greenlighting its major projects which has taken longer than we expected, but will hopefully occur in 1HFY22
-
AKV’s NOI was down 52% in FY21 compared to FY22 and -$78k in the second half – it has become profitable again in recent times and has been steadily building towards the calendar 2022 valuation assumptions, being:
-
Occupancy 52.5%
-
ARR $134 per night
-
NOI $2.9m
-
However, AKV NOI is very uncertain and likely to remain volatile while we operate it under a short stay model - Aspen is now in a stronger position to take this risk with the potential benefit of higher returns

Outlook
Aspen is well positioned to continue to grow profits and the book value of equity over the medium term and we are aiming for growth of at least 10% per annum...
▪ Residential:
-
Currently achieving average rent increase of 13% on lease renewals for our Perth houses post ending of WA’s moratorium in late March 2021
-
At Upper Mount Gravatt Co-Living occupancy is ahead of expectations and we have reduced costs quickly – NOI yield was over 7% annualised in first 3 months of ownership (versus initial guidance of 5% within 18 months)
▪ Park Communities:
-
Expect continued volatility due to COVID-19 and associated lockdowns
-
Tween Waters and Adelaide Caravan Park have been impacted the most and are expected to be more profitable once lockdowns end
-
Darwin Freespirit Resort is currently in its high season and is performing above last year
-
Burleigh Heads refurbishment is underway, and we expect the first 8 houses to be completed and leased by December 2021 with the remainder by June 2022. Total cost is expected to be $8.7m and net yield over 5.5%. Prices and rents have increased in this market since acquisition
-
We remain positive about Karratha’s growth prospects - AKV occupancy has been building well and room rate is well above the prior rate with Woodside, but NOI will remain volatile until a new short stay customer base is more established and or we enter into longer term leases with corporate customers
-
Cooks Hill Co-living redevelopment into 50 self-contained apartments has been approved and works are about to commence. We expect the project to be completed by the end of FY22 and start contributing to earnings in FY23. Total cost is expected to be $9.1m and net yield over 5.5%. Prices and rents have increased in this market since acquisition
-
Plenty of opportunities to improve our accommodation offering and profits through refurbishment / repositioning / redevelopment
▪ Development & Trading:
▪ Retirement Communities:
-
Land rents continue to increase at around 2-4% per annum – Mandurah Gardens increase was delayed due to the WA moratorium
-
Number of land leases continues to grow due to development activity - sales volumes and prices have been increasing for new houses at Sweetwater Grove and we expect Four Lanterns to be sold out this year
-
Development of new houses: already deposited/contracted/sold 31 in FY22 compared to 26 sales in all of FY21
-
Existing houses: selectively recycling capital from Perth houses at c.$100k profit margin on cost and <3% net yield – already deposited/contracted/sold 9 houses in FY22 compared to 2 sales in all of FY21
▪ Acquisitions:
-
Already 3 DMF rolls at Lewis Fields since acquisition – residents are supportive of our proposal to change to a land lease model for new houses
-
Wodonga Gardens acquisition is expected to settle in late August
-
Today we announced a new major acquisition of the Perth Apartment Portfolio at a price of $101k per apartment - this further enhances Aspen’s leading position in truly affordable accommodation

Aspen’s portfolio composition and income streams have improved materially over the past few years.
-
Increased weighting to:
-
Metropolitan locations
-
More stable, less seasonal rental income
-
Capital growth v. income profile
-
More liquid properties - individual houses and apartment buildings in metropolitan locations are easier and quicker to rent and sell
-
-
Continued pivoting between short stay and long stay offer when conditions change to maximise profits
-
AKV weighting has reduced considerably – Aspen is in a stronger position to be able to optimise risks/rewards

Environmental, Social and Corporate Governance Program
Social
-
Aspen improves society and reduces inequality by providing quality accommodation on affordable terms to a wide variety of Australian households in residential, retirement and park communities. We typically rent dwellings for under $400 per week and land sites for under $200 per week and sell new houses at our land lease communities for under $400,000.
-
We support our customers in a variety of ways so that they can live happier and healthier lives. For instance, we foster a social, diverse and inclusive culture in our communities by providing onsite management, customer services and community spaces and facilities. This gives our customers a sense of home and meaningful connections to the community.
-
Some of our properties are located in past and present Indigenous communities and we actively seek to help these communities and conserve heritage items. For instance, to help protect the Barlings Beach Aboriginal Place, we recently completed an archaeological dig within our Barlings Beach park community with the assistance of the Mogo Local Aboriginal Land Council. Another example is the protection and proposed public display of an Aboriginal Scar Tree within our Mount Barker property.
Environmental
-
Looking after the environment, today and for future generations is essential. We recognise the need to continually reduce environmental impacts, work towards sustainable resource use and ensure emissions are at or below levels that can be reabsorbed without harm.
-
Aspen has a carbon emission reduction target for the assets that it controls that is in accordance with the 2015 Paris Agreement.
-
In reviewing our environmental performance and objectives we consider not only the impact of our own operations but the performance of the dwellings within our communities that are owned by our customers. We continually embrace new technologies to deliver innovative products and services to our customers whilst minimising costs and our ecological footprint.
-
Reduced resource use, energy intensity and CO2 emissions are inherent in Aspen’s business model because we provide accommodation with some or all the following attributes:
-
Communal living – more efficient sharing of resources such as living, dining, entertaining and recreational spaces, and transport (community bus)
-
Dwelling size less than half the Australian average for new homes – about 40% of household energy use is for temperature control (heating and cooling) and this is proportional to floorspace
-
New homes and community facilities with improved building techniques, designs and materials that must meet current regulated building standards including energy efficiency (eg. replacing obsolete vans/annexes with highly insulated Xodboxes that require significantly less energy to operate)
-
Renewable energy installations such as rooftop solar, solar-boosted gas/electric water heaters and solar street lighting - we intend to install batteries at our properties if they become economic for our customer base
-
Water saving devices and recycling - clean water requires energy to produce and distribute
-
Community gardens - local food production reduces transport requirements and absorbs CO2
-
Recycling and composting facilities - composting food reduces CO2 emissions relative to burying food
-
Relatively high levels of vegetation that absorbs CO2
-
Replacing our vehicles with more efficient or electric/hybrid versions when appropriate
-
Metering – making customers more aware of their electricity, gas and water use and charging directly for it to influence behaviour
28
Environmental, Social and Corporate Governance Program
Governance
-
Aspen Group comprises the stapled head entities Aspen Group Limited and Aspen Property Trust. Aspen Group Limited is a company with a Board of Directors. Aspen Property Trust is a trust governed by a Responsible Entity, Evolution Trustees Limited which is independent from Aspen Group Limited and has its own Board. Between the two entities’ Boards, there are currently 6 members of which 5 are considered independent. The only member who is considered non-independent is the Joint Chief Executive Officer by virtue of his executive role and substantial shareholding in Aspen Group.
-
Aspen's governance framework is led by the Aspen Group Limited Board and the senior executives. They currently focus on the following from a sustainability perspective:
-
The health and safety of employees, contractors, customers and visitors
o Legal and regulatory requirements
o Environmental impacts
o Stakeholder engagement
-
The Board has ultimate responsibility for ensuring that Aspen’s sustainability strategies are robust and that systems are in place for managing Aspen's key areas of sustainability risk and opportunity.
-
Our senior executives ensure that the organisation continues to perform in a way that demonstrates integrity on our environmental position, our commitment to the communities in which we operate and the opportunities we provide for our people and business partners to contribute to current and future generations.
-
Our current Key Management Personnel are the Joint Chief Executive Officers. They are aligned to the long-term performance of Aspen Group through their substantial personal shareholdings and the structure of their remuneration packages where 50% of total remuneration is deferred for up to 3 years and subject to vesting conditions including qualitative and quantitative performance measures.
Further information on Aspen’s ESG program including our approach to sustainable procurement, employees, and OH&S is available on our company website.
