Strategies

Generate growth by acquiring quality commercial properties that meet the Trust’s investment criteria

==> picture [34 x 64] intentionally omitted <==

Objectives

  1. Source quality Bunnings Warehouses from primary and secondary markets

  2. Pursue prime big-box and bulky goods retailing properties

Remains “core” No more than 20% of total gross annual rental income

28

Strategy – acquisitions

  • Bunnings Warehouses provide a successful and high profile tenant and attractive property characteristics (strong covenant, long-term leases, low on-going capital and management requirement, moderate purchase price)

  • Bunnings Warehouses remain BWP’s primary focus, but some constraints:

  • finite market dependent on expansion of Bunnings’ network

  • strong competition for acquisition by private and institutional investors

  • third-party owned Bunnings Warehouses tightly held

  • Access to non-Bunnings properties broadens scope for BWP to continue to deliver income and long-term capital growth

  • Prime bulky goods and other stand-alone big box retailing properties similar to Bunnings Warehouses offer the best fit for BWP, with similar property and investment fundamentals

  • Bulky goods increasingly co-located with Bunnings Warehouses

  • 20% non-Bunnings property income is a limit not an aspiration (not a target, but a ceiling should appropriate non-Bunnings properties become available).

  • Current non-Bunnings income is 5.3% of total property income at 30 June 2012

29

Strategy – current priorities

Asset management

  • Upgrades of existing properties (to increase income, improve building format, and extend lease expiry)

  • Diligent approach to market rent reviews

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

Stewardship

  • Improve the efficiency, diversity and duration of debt funding

  • Genuine and relevant sustainability endeavours – improve measurement and reporting, increase understanding and implement practical improvements

Acquisitions

  • Consider quality properties providing earnings accretion

  • Bunnings Warehouses remain main focus

  • Over-riding consideration: secure and growing income stream and long-term capital growth

30

Capital management

> Financial strength supported by:

  • low gearing – 21.6% at 30 June 2012 (22.8% covenant gearing)

  • strong lease covenant in Bunnings/Wesfarmers

  • solid rental base with growth from annual CPI and fixed rent reviews

  • low level of maintenance/stay in business capex

  • Extended and expanded bank facilities to provide additional funding security and liquidity

  • Maintaining 100% pay-out ratio of distributable profit

  • Distribution Reinvestment Plan active (26.5% take-up for interim distribution paid in February 2012, a higher take-up is expected for the final distribution)

  • Continuing to consider alternative markets for debt funding:

  • to diversify source and increase tenor

  • recent refinancing means diversifying is driven by opportunity rather than need

31

Capital management – debt facilities

Interest cover: 4.5x at 30 June 2012 (FY11: 4.1x)

  • Net borrowing costs[1] for the year $20.5m (up 7.5% on FY11):

  • average borrowings $250.6m (FY11: $194.2m)

  • 8.0% average rate of net borrowings[2] after hedging (FY11: 9.2%)

  • 3.8 years average duration following refinancing finalised in January 2012

  • Average utilisation of debt facilities for the year 66.7% (FY11: 58.8%)

  • 1 net borrowing costs = all finance costs incurred during the period, including fixed and floating interest, bank fees and margins and amortised facility establishment fees, less finance income

  • 2 average rate of net borrowings = net borrowing costs/average borrowings during the period

Capital management – interest rate hedging

==> picture [587 x 281] intentionally omitted <==

Restructuring is not considered as delivering sustained benefits:

  • EPU and DPU neutral at best

  • terminating “out of money” swaps crystallises the unrealised loss, which would revert to zero if run to their full term

  • the costs to terminate swaps would be debt funded, which would incur additional future interest to be paid on those funds

  • …but, have taken advantage of low forward yields to enter into $50m of delayed-start swaps

34

Outlook

> Improve the efficiency, security and flexibility of funding

  • Alternate sources of debt capital

  • Manage debt facilities to balance the need for financial flexibility by maintaining sufficient liquidity and cost efficiency by 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

> Portfolio

  • Consider quality Bunnings Warehouses and prime bulky goods properties

  • Rental income growth from recent acquisitions and upgrades, scheduled annual rental escalations and market rent reviews

  • Further tenant-driven upgrades will be considered to improve earnings, value and portfolio quality

  • More active asset management as the portfolio grows and matures, including assessing opportunities to divest/redeploy properties (none imminent)
