Overview

  • Acquisition of 10 Bunnings Warehouse properties, one Bunnings Warehouse development site, and two Bunnings anchored large format retail centres across Australia

  • Weighted average cost of debt of 6.14% for the 12 months, down from 7.30% for last year

  • Divestment of five non-core properties

  • Well positioned portfolio: 99.0% occupancy (excluding divestments), 6.9[1] year weighted average lease expiry and portfolio cap rates at 7.59%

Portfolio - market rent reviews

  • 17 market rent reviews for the portfolio resolved during the year (refer Appendix D):

  • +3.4% increase across the portfolio

  • Bunnings has greater control over commencing rents through sale and lease back transactions

  • Fewer leasing deals with third party developers reflecting open market negotiated rents

  • – More moderate market rental growth in short-to-medium term, given above, and that a number of properties have been through multiple rent review cycles

20

Portfolio – market rent reviews

12 Bunnings Warehouse market rent reviews remain to be completed in FY2014

  • Negotiations close to finalisation for a number these market reviews with balance likely to be referred for independent determination

Strategic agenda

==> picture [228 x 275] intentionally omitted <==

32

Outlook – key drivers

> 2013/14 acquisitions:

  • Increased rental income from development properties acquired in 2013/14

> Low interest rate environment:

  • Competition for better quality assets

  • Expected further reduction in capitalisation rates, with investors attracted to yield, tenure and quality covenents

  • Opportunities to further lower cost of funding

> Moderate inflation:

  • Slightly higher annual CPI rent reviews compared with recent periods

> Home improvement retail sector performance and growth:

  • Home improvement retailing continues to be structurally attractive

  • Bunnings continues to trade well on a store-on-store basis, with the rollout of 20+ new warehouse stores for FY2015 and FY2016, respectively

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

33

Outlook - priorities

> Proactive management of existing assets

  • Additional upgrades of existing properties to support Bunnings’ evolving business model (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)

  • Optimise vacancy outcomes

> Portfolio growth

  • Complete currently committed acquisitions and developments

  • Pursue opportunities to acquire additional properties on an accretive basis (standalone Bunnings Warehouses or Bunnings-anchored centres such as Hoxton Park and Coburg recent acquisitions)

  • $150m of “debt headroom” for acquisition opportunities as and when they become available

> Improve the efficiency, security and flexibility of funding

  • Leverage A- rating to diversify and lower the cost of funding through the interest rate cycle

Appendix B: Market rent reviews

> Typical Bunnings Warehouse market rent review clause:

  • Assumes free and open market with vacant possession

  • Has regard to the rent paid by Bunnings at other Bunnings Warehouses

  • Has regard to the rental value of other properties of a similar size and similar standard of construction and used for similar purposes

  • No regard to store turnover (i.e. no turnover or percentage rent)

> Market rent review process:

  • Trust’s asking rent based on advice from an independent valuer

  • Negotiation period with Bunnings

  • If not agreed with Bunnings then referred to determination

  • Determination by independent valuer jointly agreed or nominated by the President of the Australian Property Institute

  • Results binding

37

Appendix C: Market rent review drivers

> Property specific factors affecting market rent review outcomes:

  • High land/development capital outlay results in higher commencing rent

  • Physical attributes: location and configuration of site; size, format and age of building and improvements

> Market factors affecting market rent review outcomes:

  • Available evidence of comparable properties - better evidence if: recent; negotiated rent; comparable location and size and standard of construction of properties

  • Determination process: judgement and interpretation by independent expert of market evidence submitted by landlord and tenant
