Outlook
Nunawading, VIC
27 OUTLOOK | HALF-YEAR RESULTS TO 31 DECEMBER 2019
----- End of picture text -----

Outlook

Macro economic environment

  • Demand for Bunnings Warehouse properties should remain stable, subject to any significant risk events interrupting capital flows into the Australian property sector

  • The Trust is well positioned in the event of any change in the macro economic environment with low gearing, sustainable cashflow and good access to funding

Rental growth

  • 19 CPI/ 26 fixed rent reviews in second half FY2020

  • 16 Bunnings MRR’s to be finalised

Investment

  • Primary focus on finalising outcomes on alternative use sites

  • Negotiating with Bunnings to progress opportunities to re-invest in existing portfolio

  • Continuing to look for acquisitions that create value for the Trust

FY20 distribution

The Trust could expect the distribution for the year ending 30 June 2020 to be one per cent higher than the ordinary distribution paid for the year ended 30 June 2019, a similar level of growth to the interim distribution. Capital profits will be utilised to support distributions as necessary.
