Strategy – acquisitions

Strategies

Generate growth by acquiring quality commercial properties that meet the Trust’s investment criteria
==> picture [34 x 64] intentionally omitted <==
Objectives
-
Source quality Bunnings Warehouses from primary and secondary markets
-
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: $194.2m)
-
8.0% average rate of net borrowings[2] after hedging (FY11: 9.2%)
-
3.8 years average duration following refinancing finalised in January 2012
-
Average utilisation of debt facilities for the year 66.7% (FY11: 58.8%)
| As at 30 June 2012 | Limit ($m) | Drawn ($m) | Expiry |

| WBC | 180 | 129 | 22 December 2016 |
| ANZ | 150 | 88 | 23 January 2017 |
| CBA | 100 | 73 | 14 January 2014 |
| Total/Average | 430 | 290 | 3.8 years |

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)
