Outlook – key drivers

> Low cash/interest rate environment:

  • improves A-REITs’ attractiveness as yield investment (strength in stock price and liquidity)

  • improves funding costs and relative affordability of commercial property assets

  • increases competition for prime property assets and may reduce supply as existing owners hold

> Low inflation: constrains annual CPI rent reviews

> Home improvement retail sector performance and growth:

  • Bunnings continues to trade well in softer retail and housing market environments and increased competition in home improvement space

  • hardware and garden supplies category shows limited penetration in online retailing[1] and considered less likely to be impacted by structural changes in retailing

  • Bunnings’ store network rollout and investment in existing stores may create opportunities for BWP to acquire new properties or upgrade existing assets

  • potential impact on property values and rents from growth in the home improvement retailing sector (may take time to become apparent )

  • 1 Around 3% of total online sales. Source: PwC/Frost & Sullivan, Australian and New Zealand online shopping market and digital insights, July 2012

29

Outlook - priorities

> Property portfolio

  • Continue to evaluate opportunities to acquire complementary properties on an accretive basis (such as recent Gladstone acquisition)

  • Upgrades of existing properties as required by Bunnings (to increase rental income, improve building format, and extend lease expiry)

  • Continue to consider redeployment or divestment opportunities for properties that have reached optimal value for BWP (crystallise capital growth for unitholders, recycle capital, refine portfolio quality)

> Improve the efficiency, security and flexibility of funding

  • Manage debt facilities to balance the need for financial flexibility and cost efficiency (maintain sufficient liquidity but not holding excess funding capacity)

  • Maintain hedging in the target range of 50-75% of borrowings

  • Improve duration and fixed rate of borrowings through lower longer-term swap rates

  • Target alternate sources of debt capital as opportunity arises to improve diversity and duration of funding
