B[| ] Centuria Capital Group – Annual Report 2021
About Centuria
Centuria Capital Group (ASX: CNI) is a leading Australasian fund manager included in the S&P/ASX 200 Index (GICS code – Diversified Real Estate), formed over 23 years ago.
We are a specialist, external funds manager with a suite of investment products include listed and unlisted real estate funds, investment bonds and more latterly real estate debt.
By FY21 close, CNI grew to $17.4billion¹ of assets under management, of which, 95% comprises real estate funds across industrial, healthcare, decentralised office, agriculture, large-format retail and daily-needs retail sectors within Australia and New Zealand.
Centuria is the manager of Australia’s largest listed pure-play industrial and office REITs, Centuria Industrial REIT (ASX: CIP) and Centuria Office REIT (ASX: COF), and New Zealand diversified listed REIT, Asset
Plus Limited (NZX: APL). CIP and COF are included in the S&P/ASX 200 and 300 Indices, respectively. CIP and COF are also included in the FTSE EPRA Nareit Global Index, enabling them to be readily compared with international peers. Collectively, the listed REITs comprised a $5.5billion platform.
Centuria’s $11billion unlisted real estate funds platform includes a series of singleasset funds, multi-asset closed funds and multi-asset open ended funds. Significantly, the breadth of these funds expanded during the year following the merger of Perthbased, Primewest Group, which increased the Group’s portfolio weighting in West Australia. Additionally, the Group services four institutional mandates, collectively totalling $2.3billion.
Centuria further diversified its product suite through a 50% acquisition of Bass Capital, now known as Centuria Bass Credit, which provides unlisted real estate debt fund opportunities to high net worth investors.
The corporate expansion of the Group through the Primewest and Bass acquisitions, has allowed Centuria to expand into new asset classes and increase the geographic reach of its platform.
In addition, during FY21, Centuria acquired a record $2.5billion² of real estate for the various funds it manages. These properties were throughout Australia and New Zealand and were in each of the asset classes described above.
Centuria was active in acquiring healthcare real estate assets which support the growth of Centuria Healthcare (established following the 63% acquisition of Heathley Limited in 2019) and Centuria New Zealand (following the 2020 acquisition of Augusta Capital).
Throughout FY21, Centuria’s investment bond platform increased its fund options by 25% while increasing its adviser approved product lists by 85%, which has expanded its assets under management to $0.9billion.
With a 23-year track record, Centuria continues to provide compelling investment products to its broad network of investors.
A strong start to FY22 has resulted in CNI’s assets under management increasing to more than $18billion³. Real estate funds management continues to underpin CNI’s external funds management platform, comprising of more than $17billion of AUM that is split between approximately $6billion of listed real estate and $11billion of unlisted real estate.

Chairman’s report
==> picture [242 x 332] intentionally omitted <==
GARRY CHARNY Chairman
Dear Investor,
On behalf of the Board, it is my pleasure to introduce Centuria Capital Group’s 2021 annual report.
As I write this report, the fog of COVID-19 seems to be lifting and work will be able to return to normal or, at least, the new normal. That will be a blessing as FY 2021 presented its own source of unique travails and challenges- which I am pleased to say the Group as a whole has dealt with resolutely and successfully.
THE YEAR THROUGH COVID-19
Centuria benefitted from a strong start to FY21, which continued as we saw some early signs of the pandemic unwinding however this proved a little optimistic as the year progressed and much of Australia soon endured lockdowns or State isolation by the year end.
As a group we reflected on how best to execute our long-term goals in these conditions. Whilst business confidence in certain sectors was diminished, Centuria’s portfolio, whilst diverse, suffered limited exposure to the worst-affected asset classes. Our decentralised office assets have proven very resilient, and we while we were pleased to support the State and Federal government initiatives to provide rental support to, for example, small retail premises within our office investments vacancy was low and revenues continued to be strong.
Our Industrial portfolio benefitted from a massive swing towards logistics investment as Australia moved to online purchasing and supply chain infrastructure was identified as the sector most likely to benefit. The decision to enter the industrial sector in 2017 has turned out to be remarkably prescient with CIP our industrial manager-REIT becoming a class leader and making a record level of acquisitions in FY21.
In addition to organic growth we continued with our multi-faceted approach by completing the acquisition of the Perth-based Primewest Group, and a 50% acquisition of unlisted credit fund provider Bass Capital (now known as Centuria Bass Credit). Primewest , in particular, brought us a successful complementary business driven by likeminded principals, with a geographic emphasis in the west. Centuria has now become a true Australasian entity.
PERFORMANCE
Centuria’s strong performance and growth was recognised with the Group’s milestone inclusion in the S&P/ASX200 Index inclusion (July 2021), GICS re-classification to Diversified Real Estate (September 2020) and MSCI small cap index inclusion (November 2020).
Throughout the 2021 Financial Year, the Group doubled its Assets Under Management (AUM) to $17.4billion¹ (+98% on FY20). More specifically, across our real estate platform, unlisted funds increased 175% to $11 billion while listed fund increased 37% to $5.5 billion. This is in addition to our investment bonds business contributing a steady $0.9 billion.
The Group continued to broaden its investment product offering with the launch of six unlisted funds, expanding its development pipeline to $1.9 billion² and branched into new asset classes including agriculture, Large Format Retail (LFR) and Daily Needs Retail (DNR), via our merger with Primewest.
Additionally, Centuria Industrial REIT (ASX: CIP) was included in the Financial Times Stock Exchange (FTSE) European Public Real Estate Association (EPRA) National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (Nareit) Global Real Estate Index in June 2021 with Centuria Office REIT (ASX: COF) included in September 2021.
Since year end, the Centuria Office REIT (ASX: COF) has also been admitted to the EPRA Nareit index. The FTSE EPRA Nareit inclusion enables our REITs to be more easily compared to international peers. The Augusta Capital business has now been fully integrated and has made a strong contribution to FY21 earnings. We have a strong commitment to our New Zealand platform (now renamed Centuria NZ) and we are grateful to the New Zealand team which is ably led by local CEO Mark Francis. Mark and the co-founder of Augusta, Bryce Barnett, contribute strongly to our group strategy and earnings.
08[| ] Centuria Capital Group – Annual Report 2021
ESG
Our Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) initiatives continue to be a critical focus of attention during FY21.
Prior to our AGM we will deliver our first Sustainability Report, which will outline in detail our framework and ongoing commitments. The Report will, inter alia, highlight the Group’s:
-
Support for the Taskforce on Climate-Related Financial Disclosure (TCFD) recommendations
-
Continued diversity drive including its membership of the Diversity Council of Australia; and
-
Commitment to delivering sustainable properties with high Greenstar and NABERS ratings through our $1.9billion development pipeline and maximising sustainability in our existing portfolio.
During FY22, the Group will continue to focus on wider sustainability initiatives across our New Zealand and Western Australian portfolios and we note that:
-
COF has achieved an average portfolio 4.7-star NABERS energy rating and 3.2-star NABERS water rating
-
CIP delivered one of Australia’s first 5-Star Green Star Design & As-Built ratings under the new version 1.3 guidelines for its recently completed industrial facility in Bundamba, QLD.
CULTURE, GOVERNANCE AND DIVERSITY
As part of our ESG initiatives, Centuria is pleased to report it has further diversified its Board and Responsible Entity Boards. This year we welcomed Kristie Brown to the Centuria Capital Group Board (CNI), which now has a 29% female representation. Gender and diversity remain a critical focus throughout the organization as we continue to make improvements.
We also welcomed Nicole Green to the Centuria Property Funds Limited’s (CPFL) Board and Jennifer Cook to Centuria Property Funds No.2 Limited’s (CPF2L) Board. These Responsible Entity Boards are led by independent chairmen, Matthew Hardy and Roger Dobson, respectively.
Finally, Natalie Collins, a current CPF2L member has kindly agreed to also join the Centuria Healthcare Asset Management Limited Board.
After eight years with Centuria, Nicholas Collishaw stepped down as a non-executive director of CNI and its responsible entities on 30 August 2021. Nick remains a good friend of Centuria, we thank him for his invaluable contribution and wish him well in all his future endeavours.
Last, but certainly not least, during FY21 Centuria established a Culture and ESG Board Committee comprising independent non-executive directors, which complements the existing ESG management committee. This Board Committee will help drive policy and culture across the entire Group including the fundamental areas of diversity and inclusion, climate initiatives, employee engagement and satisfaction, modern slavery, and related issues and is led by CNI Independent Non-Executive Director, Susan Wheeldon.
MANAGEMENT AND INTEGRATION
Centuria’s New Zealand team has now been fully integrated into the Group. Already the New Zealand platform expanded by 35% within FY21 to $2.3billion in assets under management (AUM). The Board and I would like to congratulations to Mark Francis, Centuria NZ CEO, and his team for such a successful first year within the Group, again in trying circumstances.
Equally, the Board and I warmly welcome our new West Australian team. The transfer of all Primewest securities completed on 19 July 2021 and integration into the wider Group is well underway. Since our off-market offer in April 2021 until 30 June 2021, Primewest’s AUM expanded 12% to $5.6billion. The organisation built by David Schwartz, John Bond and Jim Litis is a testament to their abilities and we appreciate the trust they have shown us in becoming part of a bigger and hopefully better group.
We warmly welcome our new Centuria Bass Credit colleagues who have joined our Sydney and Melbourne offices. Founders Giles Borten and Nicholas Goh bring a wealth of experience across unlisted, non-bank credit funds, which further broadens Centuria’s suite of unlisted vehicles.
Emphasising the breadth of our offering, during the year, Centuria Healthcare continued to grow from under the direction of managing director, Andrew Hemming. Our healthcare portfolio expanded 35% during FY21 to $1.1billion. We congratulate Andrew and the healthcare team for delivering a strong performance. Centuria retains a 64% interest in Centuria Healthcare following our investment in the original Heathley Limited entity in 2019.
I would also like to congratulate Ross Lees in his role as Head of Funds Management, for the exceptional work his has done on our core office and industrial assets.
CONCLUSION
Finally, the Board thanks you, our loyal investors, for your commitment to Centuria – not only throughout this financial year but the many years we have benefited from your support. We do not take that support lightly and we strive to make Centuria not only a leader in our sector but a company that better reflects the values and mores of modern society.
I would also like to thank my fellow Board members and Responsible Entity Board members for your commitment and leadership throughout this unchartered, pandemic-impacted environment. Not least of all, my thanks also to the Senior Management team who has been at the coalface of it all. in this trying year. In particular, our joint CEO’s whose complementary skills and dedication have ensured another successful year of growth.
With rising vaccination rates and lifting of restrictions, we remain optimistic the effects of COVID will diminish throughout Australia and New Zealand. Australia has benefited from a remarkably resilient economy throughout FY21 and Centuria remains well-poised for future growth throughout FY22.
We look forward to welcoming you all to Centuria’s upcoming Virtual AGM on in late November 2021.

JOHN MCBAIN
Joint CEO
Dear Security Holder,
It is our pleasure to present the 2021 Centuria Capital Group Annual Report.
Despite challenges arising from the Covid-19 pandemic, including State lockdowns and border closures, Centuria delivered a strong FY21 performance.
By year end the Group doubled its assets under management (AUM) to $17.4 billion¹ (+98% on FY20), integrated two new corporate acquisitions and acquired $2.5 billion² in direct real estate on behalf of our funds management vehicles. These totals have continued to grow during FY22.
The financial year was bookended with the start of FY21 seeing COVID affects unwind only to end with restrictions re-introduced. Whilst these headwinds affected all businesses, Centuria’s performance proved highly resilient, owing in part to its geographic dispersion, with operating offices across Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria, New Zealand and now Western Australia. This meant our teams could continue to effectively asset manage within their jurisdiction as well as inspect and transact on potential acquisitions.
This flexibility enabled us to continue to execute our growth strategy with corporate acquisitions providing expansion into new markets, where we have built Centuria market share by adding new funds management businesses, which have a proven asset acquisition and distribution capability.
During the period, we completed the integration of Centuria New Zealand (formerly Augusta Capital), which expanded its AUM by 35% to $2.3billion with the support of the Group’s strong balance sheet
In April, Centuria completed an off-market merger with Western Australia based property fund manager Primewest Group. Primewest’s AUM increased 12% to $5.6billion by year end and the integration of this business is near completion.
Pleasingly, this business has continued to perform strongly into FY22 and the quality of assets it has executed on coupled with the investment capacity of its loyal investor base, has fully vindicated the decision to combine the businesses.
12[| ] Centuria Capital Group – Annual Report 2021
In April, we acquired 50% of real estate credit funds provider, Bass Capital, which is now known as Centuria Bass Credit. This entity contributed $0.4 million to the Group’s FY21 operating earnings, as part of the group’s new Development Finance business segment, and has performed well to date in FY22 in favourable market conditions.
FY21 also saw Centuria diversify its capital sources with the issuance of our first listed debt notes – Centuria Capital No.2 Fund (ASX: C2FHA). The notes mature in 2026, raised $190 million and the listed security has performed positively at a premium to issue price to date.
Combined corporate and funds management activity culminated in the Group delivering a 62% - 12-month Total Shareholder Return³, outperforming the S&P/ASX 200 Index (+27.8%) and the S&P/ASX200 AREIT Index (+33.2%). Centuria delivered a total securityholder return of 130% over the three-year period FY19 - FY21 outperforming the wider S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO) by circa 105%.
During FY21 Centuria Capital was included in the S&P/ASX200 Index. The Centuria Industrial REIT (ASX: CIP) was also included in the Financial Times Stock Exchange (FTSE) European Public Real Estate (EPRA) National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (Nareit) Global Developed Index. Inclusion in the FTSE EPRA Nareit enables CIP to be more easily compared with its international peers. The Centuria Office REIT (ASX:COF) was admitted to the EPRA Nareit Global Developed Index post FY21 in September this year.
SOCIAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS
Centuria takes its role as a responsible corporate steward very seriously. During FY21, the Board and management made a concerted effort to increase focus on our social, environmental and governance initiatives. In executing on this commitment during FY21 we appointed a General Manager - Sustainability who of course comprises a significant additional member of the existing Management ESG Committee.
During FY21, Centuria established a Culture and ESG Board Committee comprising a majority of non-executive directors and chaired by CNI non-executive director Susan Wheeldon. The board through these committees directly oversees Centuria’s ESG policies including Modern Slavery, diversity and inclusion, employee engagement, climate change and related issues.
This year Centuria releases its first Sustainability Report alongside our Sustainability Framework. These documents detail how the entire Centuria Group intends to approach and collaborate with our investors and tenants, our response to climate change and our community endeavours.
The Sustainability Report will be released prior to our 2021 Annual General Meeting and will be available on the Centuria website.
FINANCIAL RESULTS
During FY21, the Group delivered a $143.5 million⁴ Statutory Net Profit After Tax with a $70.2 million⁵ operating NPAT. Operating profit attributable to property funds management increased 40% to $45.9 million.
Operating Earnings Per Security⁶ (OEPS) of 12.0 cents along with a distribution of 10.0 cents per stapled security, were underpinned by continued growth in recurring revenues accounting for 92% of total Group revenues (FY20: 86%). FY21 OEPS, was delivered with reduced contributions by performance fees as a source of operating revenues, reflecting the Group’s focus on achieving scale and improving margins.
Centuria Group’s total operating revenues rose 40% to $212.7 million and Operating Profit After Tax rose 32% to $70.2 million⁵. The merger of Primewest strengthened the Group’s balance sheet, with net asset value per security⁷ increasing from $1.44 to $1.92 during the year.
As at 30 June 2021, cash reserves increased to almost $250 million, representing an operating gearing ratio⁸ of 3.9%. The strong cash on hand provides the Group with flexibility to consider future platform growth opportunities and continued support for our unlisted property funds.
Balance sheet flexibility increased as a result of the $198.7million listed notes issuance, which repaid a portion of Centuria’s legacy corporate bonds and extended the majority of our debt maturity to beyond four years. As a result of the new listed debt, the Group’s operating gearing ratio increased slightly to 3.9%, however, our operating interest cover ratio⁹ has increased to 7.0 times compared to 5.4 times for FY20, as the Group benefited from increased recurring operating EBIT, as well as the lower interest rate environment.
Centuria recognised $17.9 million of performance fee income, in line with expected fund expiries across the Group’s unlisted real estate division. A further $21.4 million[10] of unrecognised performance fees remain latent within our unlisted portfolio. The Group’s co-investment earnings into its listed REITs, namely CIP, COF and APL and unlisted investments yielded $36.4m, up from $32.1 million for the prior year. Development profit contributed an operating profit of $4.5 million, representing a 150% increase compared with the previous period and is further supported by a growing $1.9 billion development pipeline.
The Investment bond division’s reduced profitability to $0.9 million, reflects the lower prevailing interest rates impacting our capital guaranteed products. During FY21 policyholders approved a restructure of the capital guaranteed bonds to convert them to unit-linked products and we have also created distribution cost efficiencies which will combine to optimise policyholder returns and divisional profitability.
This is an enduring commitment and sustainability is a journey – one which will continue to evolve as the business grows and will impact all aspects of our business.

CORPORATE INTEGRATIONS
In April 2021, Centuria made an off-market cash and scrip takeover offer for 100% of Primewest Group securities. By 19 July 2021, all Primewest securities were acquired by Centuria, resulting in the company delisting from the ASX.
Primewest has a 26-year history and brings a $5.6billion real estate platform into the Group. With assets predominantly in Western Australia, Primewest’s property portfolio complements Centuria’s largely East Coast Australia and New Zealand platform, creating a geographically diversified Australasian real estate platform.
Primewest’s Large Format Retail (LFR), Daily Needs Retail (DNR) and Agriculture real estate investments complement Centuria’s exposure to healthcare, industrial and decentralised office real estate assets across listed and unlisted funds – further diversifying the merged group by asset class, fund type, tenant profiles and investor profiles. Additionally, Primewest’s three institutional mandates collectively total $1.8 billion with over $670 million of investment capacity.
The Primewest team is successfully integrating into the Centuria fold. Both Primewest and Centuria share many symmetries. Both businesses were established in the 1990s with small property syndications, with each growing to managing substantial unlisted funds and in the case of Centuria three REIT’s. The combined business has greater scale across each of our asset classes and delivers more efficient operations through pooled resources.
Primewest’s three founding partners, David Schwartz, Jim Litis and John Bond, remain part of the fabric of the Primewest business. Additionally, Bruce McCully has been promoted to General Manager of the Western Australia office. All Primewest funds continue to operate on the same terms, conditions, and covenants and we are engaging well with Primewest’s investor clients.
Like our successfully integrated Augusta Capital (now known as Centuria New Zealand) and Heathley Limited (now Centuria Healthcare), the Primewest team will benefit from the Group’s larger balance sheet, enabling further expansion particularly across the LFR, DNR and agricultural sectors.
Centuria’s New Zealand business has also successfully expanded by 35% throughout FY21 now with $2.3billion of AUM. FY21 was punctuated by the acquisition of Visy’s Glass Manufacturing facility in Auckland for NZ$178 million. It was the largest New Zealand singleasset retail fund to date. The Visy fund raised NZ$110million, from 820 retail investors. The NZ business has an experienced management team led by CEO Mark Francis and fellow founder Bryce Barnett and we see good potential to continue to grow this business.
PLATFORM EXPANSION
Strong growth has been the dominant theme for Centuria throughout FY21 across each of its pillars. Across all real estate entities, AUM doubled (106%) to $16.5billion. In particular, our listed real estate platform increased by 37% to $5.5 billion and unlisted real estate increased by 175% to $11.0bn. In addition, our investment bonds business expanded 12.5% to $0.9billion.
This growth was underpinned by strong organic acquisition activity with 50 high-quality assets secured for $2.5 billion[11] (+108%, FY20). Landmark acquisitions included the $417m Telstra Data Centre, Clayton VIC, the NZ$178m Visy Glass Manufacturing facility, Auckland NZ, the $224m Footscray A-Grade office building, which is 91% leased to the VIC Government, and $416 million in healthcare acquisitions, notably including $190million of assets for CHPF and a doctor-led JV with Medibank for a private hospital with an estimated value on development completion of $64million.
Complementing these acquisitions was a $1.5billion valuation gain, underlining the quality of Centuria’s property portfolio.
Over FY21 the Group’s real estate portfolio[12] increased 143% to 340 assets with 2,280 tenants. The portfolio provides a healthy six-year weighted average lease expiry (WALE)[12,13] and 94.6% occupancy[12,13] . Impressively, Centuria achieved a 98.8%[13] average rent collection through this covid-affected period. Through Centuria’s in-house property management capabilities, more than 437,000sqm[13] was leased across 215 leasing transactions.
Demonstrating alignment with our investors, Centuria Capital continues to be the largest shareholder of its managed REITs, Centuria Office REIT (ASX: COF) with a 19.9% co-investment, Centuria Industrial REIT (ASX: CIP), a 17.7% co-investment and Asset Plus Limited (NZX: APL) a 19.99% co-investment.
COF remains Australia’s largest listed pure-play office REIT with a 22-asset portfolio worth $2billion. The REIT is exposed to Australia’s better performing office markets in metropolitan, regional and nearcity markets, which lend themselves to good workforce commutability and attractive, affordable rents.
During FY21, COF achieved a record year of leasing with 61 transactions across 52,077sqm, accounting for 18.1% of its portfolio Net Lettable Area (NLA). The high level of leasing activity was complemented by a $16.3million valuation increase in the second half of FY21, which contributed to COF’s Net Tangible Assets (NTA) of $2.48 per unit and $76.9million statutory net profit. Most recently, COF secured a significant $405milllion debt refinance, which increases its weighted average debt maturity to 4.2 years (from 2.3 years) and signifies strong support and confidence in the quality of its office portfolio.
CIP remains Australia’s largest listed pure-play industrial REIT with a 62-asset portfolio worth $2.9billion as at 30 June 2021. However, CIP began FY22 by further expanding its portfolio to 67 high-quality industrial assets worth $3.1billion. During FY21, CIP transacted 18 high-quality acquisitions worth $966million[14] . This included $631million worth of assets across two new high conviction industrial sub-sectors, Data Centres and Cold Storage, as well as $335million worth of urban infill logistics acquisitions.
The quality of CIP’s portfolio was illustrated with more than a half-billion-dollar valuation uplift ($587million) during the period. Additionally, the REIT’s portfolio Weighted Average Capitalisation Rate (WACR) compressed 151bps from 6.05% to 4.54% during FY21. CIP delivered strong leasing transactions of nearly 240,000sqm across 33 deals, which accounted for more than a fifth (22%) of the portfolio’s gross lettable area (GLA). Major long term leasing transactions were undertaken with, Woolworths and Visy amongst others.

The diversified APL NZ REIT performed well throughout FY21, providing a NZ$15.95million profit (FY20, -NZ$14.96million loss). It comprises a $0.3billion AUM platform including $130million in committed projects. These include an office development currently being constructed at Munroe Lane, Albany, which is 63% pre-let to the Auckland Council on a 15-year lease, and an office redevelopment asset at 35 Graham Street, Auckland.
Centuria’s unlisted platform continued to broaden its product offering with the launch of six funds including:
-
Single-asset – Centuria Government Income Fund No.1
-
Single-asset – Visy Penrose Fund
-
Multi-asset – Centuria Healthcare Property Fund
-
Multi-asset – Centuria Industrial Income Fund
-
Multi-asset – Centuria NZ Property Fund
The Group services more than 12,000 Australasian investors throughout its unlisted platform. The majority of the unlisted funds (c.72%) are single-asset funds, with the remainder of the platform comprising multi-asset closed-ended funds (14.5%) and multi-asset open-ended funds (13.5%). Of the latter, Centuria Healthcare Property Fund generated a portfolio of nine assets worth $190million during the period.
Centuria has also grown its institutional mandate capital to $2.3billion. Through our merger with Primewest, the Group has two mandates with a southeast Asian investment group including a $930million DNR mandate and $587million office mandate. Primewest also established a $272million joint venture with Blackrock for the purchase of 140 St George’s Terrace, Perth. These mandates add to Centuria’s existing $500m healthcare mandate with AXA / Grosvenor.
In addition to the expanding real estate funds, Centuria’s Development division completed $127million worth of industrial, LFR and social infrastructure developments. It has a further $1.9billion pipeline comprising office developments (25.1%), industrial developments (8.3%), healthcare properties (37.8%), LFR centres (4.8%) and other developments outside these asset classes (24%). The development team is committed to delivering high quality, sustainable, energy-efficient real estate that minimises carbon emissions.
FY22 OUTLOOK
Centuria Capital has begun FY22 with a strengthened corporate profile arising from S&P/ASX 200 Index inclusion and with strong growth across Australasia, as Centuria NZ and Primewest contribute to total performance.
Our increased platform size, greater asset-class diversity, enlarged geographic footprint and stronger capital transactions team have all combined to increase deal flow significantly, deal flow being a core driver of revenue growth. By virtue of the Centuria platform coming of scale through FY21 we will begin to witness the benefit of higher revenues against relatively fixed costs.
Our larger in-house distribution networks throughout Australia and New Zealand have continued to show strong support for Centuria unlisted funds and the recent oversubscription of the $224 million Centuria Government Income Fund No1 is a prime example of the momentum Centuria has in the current deposit rate climate. We anticipate this will continue during FY22 and will extend the scale of our open-ended unlisted funds i.e. Diversified, Healthcare and Industrial (NZ).
Centuria Capital Group – Annual Report 2021[| ] 15
Both COF and CIP concluded successful capital raisings in early FY22 acquiring $700 million of very high quality assets and we are confident that as Australia returns to work, sentiment towards office investment will steadily build and that confidence in the industrial sector will remain strong.
We also believe the additional sector-diversity offered by our entry into the DNR and LFR sectors will help promote a wider opportunity set for our investors. Primewest have also successfully launched a second unlisted agriculture fund (PWAT2). We believe the agricultural sector operates on sound demand-led fundamentals and this is a sector we intend to further expand into on a group-wide basis in both Australia and New Zealand.
Our achievements throughout FY21, namely the expansion of our business, leading to increased management fee revenues, have laid the foundations for providing FY22 Operating earnings per security guidance of 13.2 cents and distribution guidance of 10 cents per security, both up 10% on the prior corresponding period.
We are well-positioned to unlock further growth and create additional value into FY22 and beyond consolidating our leading position in the Australasian funds management market. We remain committed to building the Centuria brand across Australasia with increased market relevance in the direct property and equity capital markets. At the same time, we are committed to build on the ESG initiatives we will set out in the soon to be released Sustainability Framework and Sustainability Report and we encourage Investors to access these important documents on our website.
In conclusion, FY21 has proved the resilience of the Group and the strength of the team’s ability to deliver strong results despite the challenges faced by the ongoing pandemic. We would like to thank the people at the heart of the Centuria business – our Team.
In addition, we thank the Chairmen and the Directors of both the Group and Responsible Entity boards and external committees across our organisation. Their support and guidance remain paramount to the ongoing evolution and success of our organisation.
Finally, we sincerely thank securityholders and all our stakeholders for your on-going support and the confidence you place in our organisation. We look forward to engaging with you in the year ahead.

Sustainability at Centuria
ST LUCY’S SCHOOL
Centuria has focused efforts on reputable and repeated volunteering and fundraising programmes. We aim to create long term partnerships with community based organisations.
St Lucy’s School is a primary and secondary school for students with disabilities. It provides excellence in education that empowers students with the values, knowledge, attitudes and skills to flourish and participate fully in society. Centuria have supported St Lucy’s School since 2011. Throughout the year, the Centuria team helped raise over $140,000 in donations and our staff have regularly participated in activities to support the school.
The flagship event is our annual trivia night, when all our partners and peers come together to fundraise. During the reporting period, the Centuria team were unable to physically attend St Lucy’s School due to COVID-19 and had limited participation on the team volunteer day. However, we practiced virtual volunteering by wrapping Christmas presents in a remote manner.

A detailed Segment Profit and Loss as well as a detailed Segment Balance Sheet are outlined in Notes B1 and C1, respectively.
Operational highlights for the key segments were as follows:
(A) Property Funds Management
For the year ended 30 June 2021, excluding the after tax impact of performance fees, the Property Funds Management segment profit increased by $10,793,000 or 51% reflecting the growth in AUM.
For the year ended 30 June 2021, Property Funds Management operating NPAT of $44,558,000 was higher than the prior year ending 30 June 2020 by $8,272,000 primarily due to the impact of acquisitions in the first half of the financial year and full year impact of the acquisition of Augusta Capital Limited.
The increase in AUM was primarily attributable to approximately $2.0 billion in organic acquisitions with 6 assets valued at $837 million acquired in listed vehicle CIP and the remainder of the increase relating to other acquisitions in CIP, single asset funds and Healthcare properties.
(B) Co-Investments
For the year ended 30 June 2021, the Co-Investments segment operating NPAT increased by $6,900,000. This was primarily due to additional units acquired during the year in COF and CIP, as well as an increase in underwiting activity for newly established funds in New Zealand.
The operating profit after tax for the Co-Investments segment represents the distributions and returns generated from investment stakes held less applicable financing costs.
(C) Developments
For the year ended 30 June 2021, the Developments segment operating net profit after tax was $3,419,000. This segment has been introduced in the year ending 30 June 2021 due to development earnings contributing to a larger share of the Group’s earnings. The prior year segment disclosure has been restated to reflect the Development segment.
(D) Property and development finance
For the year ended 30 June 2021, the Property and development finance segment’s operating NPAT was $286,000. This segment was created from the Group’s acquisition of 50% interest in Bass Capital Partners Pty Ltd (Centuria Bass), a real estate debt fund provider, for $25,417,876 cash consideration.

EVENTS SUBSEQUENT TO THE REPORTING DATE
In July 2021, $34,100,000 cash consideration was received for the two final social affordable housing developments, 45 Pendlebury Road, Cardiff NSW and 357-359 Mann Street, North Gosford NSW.
Other than the above, there has not arisen in the interval between 30 June 2021 and the date hereof any item, transaction or event of a material and unusual nature likely, in the opinion of the directors of the Company, to affect significantly the operations of the Group, the results of those operations, or the state of affairs of the Group, in future financial periods.
The Group has policies and procedures to identify and appropriately address environmental obligations that might arise in respect of the Group’s operations that are subject to significant environmental laws and regulation. The Directors have determined that the Group has complied with those obligations during the financial year and that there has not been any material breach.
INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS AND AUDITORS
The Company has agreed to indemnify all current and former directors and executive officers of the Company and its controlled entities against all liabilities to persons (other than the Company or a related body corporate) which arise out of the performance of their normal duties as a director or executive officer unless the liability relates to conduct involving a lack of good faith.
The Company has agreed to indemnify the directors and executive officers against all costs and expenses incurred in defending an action that falls within the scope of the indemnity and any resulting payments.
The directors have not included details of the nature of the liabilities covered or the amount of premium paid in respect of the directors’ and officers’ liability and legal expenses insurance contracts, as such disclosure is prohibited under the terms of the contracts. The Company has not otherwise, during or since the end of the financial year, except to the extent permitted by law, indemnified or agreed to indemnify an officer or auditor of the Company or any related body corporate against a liability incurred as an officer or auditor.
NON-AUDIT SERVICES
During the financial year, KPMG, the Group’s auditor, has performed services in addition to the audit and review of the financial statements. Details of amounts paid or payable to KPMG are outlined in Note F4 to the financial statements.
The directors are satisfied that the provision of non-audit services during the year, by the auditor (or by another person or firm on the auditor’s behalf) is compatible with the general standard of independence for auditors imposed by the Corporations Act 2001.
The directors are of the opinion that the services as disclosed in the financial statements do not compromise the external auditor’s independence, based on advice received from the Audit, Risk Management & Compliance Committee, for the following reasons:
-
all non-audit services have been reviewed and approved to ensure that they do not impact the integrity and objectivity of the auditor; and
-
none of the services undermine the general principles relating to auditor independence as set out in the Code of Conduct APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants issued by the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board, including reviewing or auditing the auditor’s own work, acting in a management or decisionmaking capacity for the Company, acting as advocate for the Company or jointly sharing economic risks and rewards.
A copy of the auditor’s independence declaration as required under section 307C of the Corporations Act 2001 is set out on page 69.
LIKELY DEVELOPMENTS
The Group continues to pursue its strategy of focusing on its core operations, utilising a strengthened balance sheet to provide support to grow and develop these operations.

REMUNERATION COMMITTEE CHAIR’S LETTER
DEAR INVESTOR,
As chair of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee, I am pleased to present the remuneration report for the year ended 30 June 2021. This report has been approved by the Board and is intended to be informative and digestible whilst complying with our statutory reporting obligations.
and Jennifer Cook to the Board of Centuria Property Funds No. 2 Limited the Responsible Entity Boards of Centuria Office REIT and Centuria Industrial REIT respectively. Professor Simon Rice, OAM, has been elevated to Chair of the Group’s Conflicts Committee and Matt Hardy to the Chair of Centuria Property Funds Limited. Finally, Susan Wheeldon has been appointed to Chair our new Culture and ESG Committee.
FY21 PERFORMANCE AND REMUNERATION OUTCOMES
Our remuneration philosophy aims to fairly reward and retain the people who we believe play a crucial role in the achievement of our long-term objectives and is a key source of our competitive advantage as a leading Australasian funds manager in the S&P/ASX200 Index. As we continue to grow and mature as a company, we have sought to substantially improve the disclosure of our remuneration structure and practices to clearly link the performance of Centuria Capital Group and to reflect our core value of pay for performance.
IMPROVEMENTS IN DISCLOSURE
Throughout FY21, we have sought feedback from our investors and various stakeholder groups and have worked to not only improve transparency of our remuneration report but to better articulate the remuneration practices we have adopted. We, as a Board, believe these remuneration practices are fit for purpose and not only align with our somewhat complex structure but also drive long-term performance for our securityholders. As such, we have included a more comprehensive overview of the overall structure of the Group and deeper rationales for the adoption of a Joint CEO structure. More details of this can be found on page 56 of the remuneration report.
EXECUTIVE REMUNERATION CHANGES
Additionally, as discussed in last year’s Notice of Meeting, we have made a number of adjustments to the performance hurdles for executives’ variable awards, making the outcome more aligned with our comparator peers, whilst continuing to align with investor’s interests. For the LongTerm Incentive (LTI) grants made in respect of the FY20-FY23 period we replaced the Assets Under Management (AUM) performance hurdle with a combination of Relative and Absolute Total Securityholder Return (TSR) hurdles assessed against AREIT peers in the S&P/ASX200. The introduction of the Relative and Absolute TSR performance hurdles to the LTI programme aligns executive’s interests with securityholder outcomes and provides a direct comparison of Centuria’s performance against their comparator group of peers. Again as foreshadowed in the Notice of Meeting in relation to the 2020 AGM, LTI grants proposed for the FY21-24 period will now vest over year’s three and four rather than in year three as was previously the case, i.e. vesting in FY24/FY25.
Further, we have amended the Short-term Incentive (STI) hurdles to ensure the awards are demonstrably not only tied to performance but also create an ongoing annual focus on imperative business and operational issues that create the type of company we are all striving towards. More details of this can be found on page 60 of the remuneration report, respectively.
NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR REMUNERATION CHANGES
Effective from 1 June 2021, a new fee structure which covers the Board and Board Committee roles across Group (including CNI and other operating entities) has been adopted to improve the transparency of fees paid to directors. Further, the fee schedule has been benchmarked against AREIT peers in the S&P/ASX200 to align director remuneration with market practice as well as recognising the significant responsibilities each director has in the various Boards and Board Committees they sit across the Group. More details of the fee structure can be found on page 66 of the remuneration report.
The fees have been designed to be comparable to our peers in order to attract the highest quality talent to the Board. Expanding the breadth and depth of Board membership across the Group has been a key priority of the current Board to ensure a drive towards optimal independence and diversity in all its forms. In February 2021, Centuria appointed Kristie Brown to the Centuria Capital Limited Board. In July 2021, Centuria also appointed Nicole Green to the Board of Centuria Property Funds Limited
Despite tough market conditions in the office market due to the ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, Centuria has had successful financial year in terms of relative securityholder price (+55.3%) to the broader ASX200 industrial and real estate indices. Additionally, the Group strategies to diversify out of pure office into other asset classes and to enter M&A where it is appropriate have been instrumental in keeping our TSR healthy and growing CNI’s market capitalisation.
For FY21, Centuria’s one-year TSR was 61.8% with the three-year TSR being 130.1%. This resulted in 100% of the absolute TSR component of the Tranche 6 Long-Term Incentive (LTI) awards to vest in FY21. Furthermore, under the stewardship of the executive team, the Group has grown its AUM from $6.2 billion in FY19 to $17.4 billion at the end of FY21. This represents a compound annual growth rate in AUM of 67.5% over the three-year period. Consequently, 100% of the AUM component of the Tranche 6 LTI awards vested in FY21.
It is difficult to think of any other combination of strategies which would have produced this result and despite COVID-19’s effect on office fund generation, with the finalisation of the acquisition of the Augusta (NZ) and Primewest funds management businesses the executive team has the Group poised to enter FY22 with very healthy EPS growth metrics. Operating EPS for FY21 was 12.0 cents per security, which was comfortably within FY21 guidance range. This result, combined with our substantial year-on-year growth in AUM of 97.7% and strong continued equity flows resulted in 100% of the financial component of the FY21 Short-Term Incentive (STI) to be awarded to the executive team.
The executive team also made substantial headway on non-financial milestones across culture, risk management and sustainability, which the Board believes has contributed to the continued strong financial performance as well as positioning the Group to continue on its growth path. Consequently, 100% of the non-financial component of the FY21 STI was awarded to the executive team.
As a maturing company, we will continue to engage in an open and meaningful dialogue with our securityholders and other stakeholders surrounding our remuneration policies and their contribution to Group’s performance as well as our understanding of securityholder concerns and local and global market best practices. We hope, through our continued evolution of our remuneration practices and ongoing financial performance, that we look forward to your support at our 2021 Annual General Meeting.
Yours sincerely,

Remuneration Philosophy
The Group recognises the important role people play in the achievement of its business strategy and long-term objectives and as a key source of competitive advantage. To grow and be successful across these two areas, the Group must be able to attract, motivate and retain capable individuals with exceptional talent, expertise, experience and relationships. Our Group is able to achieve this goal by following the principles of:
-
Delivering value for shareholders in the most efficient manner - which is reflective in the Joint CEO structure that optimises the size of the senior executive group in relation to its peers to make it leaner and more agile than our peers. Overall cost of remuneration is managed and linked to operating performance of the Group.
-
Ensuring competitive, at-risk rewards are provided to attract and retain the best executive talent, with a focus on retention.
-
Including senior staff in the Long Term Incentive equity plan to provide a sense of ownership and alignment and in FY20 and FY21 distributing securities to all non-LTI staff to encourage ownership and alignment.
The main objective in rewarding the Group’s senior management for their performances is to ensure that shareholders’ wealth is maximised through the Group’s continued growth.
Joint CEO Structure
The Joint CEO structure was established in 2019 as an important part of the Group’s long-term management succession and retention plan. In support of the Joint CEO structure the Board takes into account the following matters:
-
The Joint CEOs have a strong background in all aspects of the business but also have complementary skills sets, which allows them to focus on different areas in the management of the multiple complexities of the business given the Group’s overall structure. Mr Huljich has primary oversight of funds management, distribution and property services and Mr McBain has primary oversight of corporate functions (corporate strategy, M&A, finance, treasury, legal, communications and investor relations) and the Life business;
-
The Board have recognised the significant importance that a strong succession plan has on any business. The Joint CEOs have worked seamlessly together for over 20 years. By creating the Joint CEO role for Mr Huljich in 2019, the Board believes it has moved to ensure investors have confidence in the future direction of the Group, and that, with Joint CEOs, the business has two strong leaders, pulling together to optimise investor value in a tried and tested operative way. The Joint CEO structure has been adopted to ensure any future departure is without disruption to the Group’s operations, which will inevitably lead to superior outcomes for securityholders.
The remuneration of the Joint CEOs reflects the position they hold in the REIT industry and their experience and achievements gained from working together over a period of 25 years at Centuria. Given the complimentary skill sets of the two CEOs and their division of key responsibilities (outlined above), the Board believes the remuneration of the Joint CEOs is a benefit for investors by removing the need for expensive key resources which many other AREIT peers require, such as Chief Investment Officers or Chief Operations Officers.
Through the Joint CEO structure, the Group is able to minimise the size of the senior executive group to be leaner and nimbler than its peers, which the Board believes is a significant competitive advantage and in the long-term best interests of securityholders. As part of its benchmarking process, the Board believes the reduced executive committee size and adoption of the Joint CEO structure is a significant cost-saving practice for the Group in comparison to its peers, with the total executive cost being between 68% and 71% lower than its competitors amongst ASX AREIT peers.
The Nomination & Remuneration Committee, as well as the Board, annually review the appropriateness of the Joint CEO structure to ensure its efficiency and effectiveness by assessing the joint performance of the CEOs in delivering strong shareholder outcomes within the context of the Group’s continued growth comparatively to AREIT peers’ performance and total executive team costs.

REMUNERATION OF SENIOR MANAGEMENT
Remuneration Structure
The below table outlines the components of senior management’s remuneration and the underpinning rationale for each element of the remuneration structure. The Nomination & Remuneration Committee ensures the criteria used to assess and reward staff include financial and non-financial measures of performance.
The table below summarises the key features of executive remuneration and the objectives of each element.
| Type of Remuneration | Total Executive Remuneration |
|---|---|
| Fixed At-Risk |
|
| Remuneration Short-term Incentive Long-term Incentive |
|
| How is it set? | Fixed remuneration is set with reference to market competitive rates in comparative ASX listed AREITs for similar positions, adjusted to account for the experience, ability and productivity of the individual employee. Senior executives participate in the Group’s STI plan which is assessed against key areas of fnancial and non-fnancial performance that are designed to create an ongoing annual focus on imperative business and operational issues that create the type of company we all strive towards. Refer tothe FY21 STI Scorecard for further details. Senior executives participate in the Group’s LTI plan which is assessed against securityholder returns over a three-year performance period. The signifcant weighting towards relative TSR in the LTI aligns executive’s interests with securityholder outcomes and provides a direct comparison of the Group’s performance against their comparator group of peers. Refer to the LTI Structure section for further details. |
| How is it delivered? | •Base Salary •Superannuation •Other benefits such as maintained motor vehicles •Other eligible salary sacrifice benefits Awarded in cash or shares at the Board’s discretion. Equity with performance assessed over three years (vesting in Year 3 and 4). |

Remuneration mix
Remuneration packages include a mix of fixed and variable remuneration and short and long-term performancebased incentives. The proportion of fixed and variable remuneration for senior management (excluding the Joint CEOs) is established by the Joint CEOs and the Nomination & Remuneration Committee. The proportion of fixed and variable remuneration for the Joint CEOs is established solely by the Nomination & Remuneration Committee. While the allocation may vary from period to period, the graph below details the approximate fixed and variable components for senior management.

TOTAL SECURITYHOLDER RETURN (TSR)
The acquisition of the Primewest business in 2021 was a major transaction for Centuria Capital. On 16 July 2021, following this transaction, Centuria Capital joined the S&P ASX200 index ranked #154 and this ranking is expected to move to circa #130 - #140 when the forthcoming index rebalance takes into account the post-transaction free float market capitalisation.
Due to the factors set out on page 62 and subject to the qualification also outlined, the Group considers the following ASX-listed entities as its most comparable peers which forms the basis of its remuneration benchmarking exercises:

Centuria believes that important factors driving this outcome include:
-
the selection of a lean senior management team and incentivising them appropriately;
-
the synergy and cohesiveness that exists between management and a diverse Board enabling long term strategies to be set and implemented seamlessly;
-
a recognition that the culture that exists within the group is tangible and promotes a productive, diverse, rewarding working atmosphere where employees strive to out-perform.
This special combination of highly complementary and experienced Joint CEO’s, stable and highly motivated management team and highly responsive, experienced and diverse Board members has provided consistently high levels of performance in terms of TSR and dividend flows when accurately and properly compared to its true peer set and consistent outperformance against the S&P ASX 200 index (and the S&P ASX 200 REIT index).
These performance metrics hold true over both one and three year periods and the company believes maintaining and encouraging this special combination of talent, drive and experience has will prove proven highly beneficial to securityholders over the long term.
Fixed Remuneration
Fixed remuneration consists of base remuneration (which is calculated on a total cost basis and includes any FBT charges related to employee benefits including motor vehicles), as well as employer contributions to superannuation funds.
For senior management excluding the Joint Chief Executive Officers, this is reviewed annually by the Joint Chief Executive Officers and the Nomination & Remuneration Committee. The process consists of a review of Group, business unit and individual performance as well as relevant comparative remuneration in the market. The same process is used by the Nomination & Remuneration Committee when reviewing the fixed remuneration of the Joint Chief Executive Officers.
Senior management are given the opportunity to receive their fixed remuneration in a variety of forms including cash and salary sacrifice items such as motor vehicles, motor vehicle allowances and/or additional superannuation contributions.
(i) Short-term Incentives (STI)
The objective of the STI program is to link the achievement of the Group’s non-financial and financial targets with the remuneration received by senior management accountable for meeting those targets. The potential STI available is set at a level to provide sufficient incentive for senior management to achieve operational targets and such that the cost to the Group is reasonable in the circumstances.
A major focus for FY21 was the consolidation of Centuria Capital as the fourth largest external property funds manager in Australia. Centuria’s growth strategy was executed throughout the reporting period with measurably higher total securityholder returns than six of the eight nominated peer set.

*During FY21 the Board had a particular focus on AUM growth as a dedicated strategy to qualify Centuria Capital for inclusion in the S&P ASX 200 index. This goal was achieved on 16 July 2021.
** Due to COVID-19 conditions for majority of year Key Management Personnel waived their rights to 125% awards grants irrespective of qualification *** The Australian office market was impacted adversely during the majority of FY21 and in particular Australian office AREITS were not in a position to raise capital and this applied to Centuria Office REIT (COF) amongst others. The Board carefully considered the steps the executive team took to protect returns to COF securityholders and provide resilience. COF’s returns have remained stable throughout the national pandemic, COF was one of the few REIT’s which provided market FFO and distribution guidance at all times during the pandemic and in addition FY21 results were at the top end of the FFO guidance range and at distribution guidance. The Board also took careful note of the executive teams approach to and success in preparing COF for the period when the office markets recover. Recent evidence of strong market earnings guidance for FY22 together with COF’s likely inclusion in the global EPRA NAREIT index in the September 2021 rebalance provides contemporary evidence of those efforts. **** Employee engagement is measured as a score through an annual Company-wide survey conducted independently by “Leaders Aligned” who reports directly to the CNI Board.
In addition to the scorecard above, the Board took into consideration the following non-financial achievements made in FY21 in determining the final outcome of the FY21 STI awards:
-
For a six month period (five months included in FY21) in response to the onset of COVID-19, the KMP’s (and Board members) reduced their remuneration by agreement by 15%.
-
During FY21 CIP was included in the S&P ASX 200 for the first time in history and the EPRA NAREIT indices and acquired in excess of $1 billion in assets.
-
During FY21 Centuria increased its commitment to Sustainability and ESG outcomes with the appointment of a General Manager - Sustainability, its commitment to provide an initial Sustainability Report prior to the 2021 AGM and confirmation of Centuria’s formal support of the Task Force on Climate Related Financial Disclosures and the establishment of a Culture and ESG Board Committee amongst other initiatives.
-
During FY21 the acquisition of Primewest became unconditional and Centuria Capital’s market capitalisation grew to circa $2.2 billion, and noting Centuria’s inclusion in the S&P ASX 200 index as at 16 July 2021. Refer to page 59 regarding Centuria Capital Group’s index rankings.
-
With the addition of the Augusta and Primewest businesses, guidance for FY22 operating EPS and FY22 DPS is predicted to be plus 10.0% over the FY21 result.
-
The addition of the Primewest distribution network has added 900 ultra-high net worth investors to Centuria’s existing network making it the largest HNW network amongst its Australian peers. Adding the Centuria NZ network amplifies this presence.
-
The acquisition of a 50% interest in Centuria Bass was completed.
-
Integration of Augusta (NZ) completed with name change in place and execution of largest Australian retail unlisted syndicate in the last 15 years (VISY) in FY21.
-
Group performance achieved against COVID-19 backdrop where new office funds have been impossible to produce the post FY21 successful capital raising for $220 million Footscray office fund itself industry-leading and an important milestone for Centuria as we move through and out of COVID-19 in an office fund generation sense.

- STI opportunities for FY21 remained at their contractual level and were not impacted by the fixed remuneration reductions implemented in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
(ii) Long-term Incentives (LTI)
The Group has an Executive Incentive Plan (“LTI Plan”) which forms a key element of the Group’s incentive and retention strategy for senior management under which Performance Rights (“Rights”) are issued.
The primary objectives of the LTI Plan include:
-
focusing executives on the longer term performance of the Group to drive long term shareholder value creation;
-
ensure senior management remuneration outcomes are aligned with shareholder interests, in particular, the strategic goals and performance of the Group; and
-
ensure remuneration is competitive and aligned with general market practice by ASX listed entities.
Rights issued under the LTI Plan are issued in accordance with the thresholds approved at the Annual General Meeting (AGM).

| Rationale for the | Both RTSR and ATSR measure the return Securityholders would earn if they held a notional number of |
| performance metric | Securities over a period of time. RTSR provides a relative measure of growth in the Group’s Security price |
| and conditions | in comparison to relative peers (being the S&P/ASX 200 AREIT accumulation index). ATSR provides an |
| absolute measure of growth in the Group’s Security price. The ATSR target is determined with reference | |
| to the following factors which can impact future performance: | |
| •Performance of peer fund managers over a range of asset classes; | |
| •Direct returns from asset classes in particular property, equities and fixed interest; | |
| •Outlook for financial markets including fixed interest returns; | |
| •Effect financial market views on asset values eg cap rate compression or expansion; | |
| •Performance of Centuria compared to other peer managers; and | |
| •Quality of Centuria’s financial products compared to market and how contemporary they are in this | |
| context. | |
| By combining RTSR with an ATSR measure, executives can be rewarded for driving positive returns | |
| and investors have the confidence that interests are aligned with long term business growth and the | |
| creation of shareholder wealth. The inclusion of an ATSR metric has been designed to counter-balance | |
| RTSR outcomes which may vest when overall market conditions are down. | |

| Performance Rights will lapse at cessation unless the Board determines otherwise. If a participant | |
| ceases employment for any other reason prior to Performance Rights vesting, a pro-rata number | |
| of unvested Performance Rights (based on the Performance Period that has elapsed at the time of | |
| cessation) will remain unvested until the end of the original Performance Period and vest to the extent | |
| that the relevant performance hurdles have been satisfed at any time. The balance of Performance | |
| Rights will lapse at cessation. | |
| Malus and Clawback | In the event of fraud, dishonesty or material misstatement of fnancial statements, the Board may make |
| a determination, including lapsing unvested Performance Rights or ‘clawing back’ Securities allocated | |
| upon vesting, to ensure that no unfair beneft is obtained by a participant. | |
| Dividends and voting | Rights do not carry a right to vote or to dividends or, in general, a right to participate in other corporate |
| rights | actions such as bonus issues. |
| Re-testing | Awards are tested once, at the end of the performance period of three years. There is no further |
| retesting of the performance conditions | |
| Change of Control | If a change of control event occurs, the Board has a discretion to determine whether any unvested |
| provisions | Performance Rights should ultimately vest, lapse or become subject to different vesting conditions. |
| In making such a determination, the Board may have regard to any factors that the Board considers | |
| relevant, including the period elapsed, the extent to which the vesting conditions have been satisfed | |
| and the circumstances of the event. |

KEY TERMS OF EMPLOYMENT CONTRACTS
Group Joint Chief Executive Officers
Mr John E. McBain, was appointed as Chief Executive Officer of the Group in April 2008. Mr Jason C. Huljich, was appointed as Joint Chief Executive Officer of the Group in June 2019. Mr John E. McBain and Mr Jason C. Huljich are employed under contract. The summary of the major terms and conditions of their employment contracts are as follows:
-
Fixed Compensation plus superannuation contributions;
-
Car parking within close proximity to the Company’s office;
-
Eligible to participate in the bonus program determined at the discretion of the Board;
-
The Group may terminate this employment contract by providing six months written notice or provide payment in lieu of the notice period plus an additional six months. Any payment in lieu of notice will be based on the total fixed compensation package; and
-
The Group may terminate the employment contract at any time without notice if serious misconduct has occurred. When termination with cause occurs the Joint Chief Executive Officers are only entitled to remuneration up to the date of termination.
The Nomination & Remuneration Committee ensures severance payments due to the Joint Chief Executive Officers on termination are limited to pre-established contractual arrangements which do not commit the Group to making any unjustified payments in the event of non-performance.
Other senior management (standard contracts)
All senior management are employed under contract. The Group may terminate their employment agreement by providing three months written notice or providing payment in lieu of the notice period (based on the total fixed compensation package).
NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR REMUNERATION
Objective
The Board seeks to set aggregate remuneration at a level that provides the Group with the ability to attract and retain directors of the highest calibre, whilst incurring a cost that is acceptable to shareholders.
-
Non-executive directors receive adequate remuneration to attract and retain the requisite talent;
-
Reflect the complexity of the Group structure and the time commitment associated with oversight of multi-faceted operating entities within the Group; and
-
The structure should align the non-executive directors with investors, not providing any disincentive to take independent action.
Structure
The Constitution and the ASX Listing Rules specify that the aggregate remuneration of non-executive directors shall be determined from time to time by a general meeting. An amount not exceeding the aggregate amount determined is then divided between the directors as agreed. An aggregate maximum amount of not more than $2,000,000 per year was approved at the 2017 Annual General Meeting.
Each director receives a fee for being a director of Group companies and an additional fee is paid to the Chairman and to the Chairman of each
Centuria Capital Group – Annual Report 2021[| ] 65
Directors’ Report
For the year ended 30 June 2021
Board Committee. The payment of the additional fees to each Chairman recognises the additional time commitment and responsibility associated with the position. Non-executive directors do not receive equity as a form of payment.
As highlighted on page 55, the Centuria structure, whilst not unique, comprises multiple operating entities, both listed and unlisted. These include CNI, COF, CIP, Centuria Life, Centuria Healthcare, Centuria New Zealand, Centuria Bass Credit and Primewest. Each Board of these entities has specific requirements and obligations. In recognition of the complexity of the Group, the multiple entities and in the interests of good governance and transparency, the Group has adopted a new Directors’ fees schedule which is disclosed in the table below.
The new fee schedule covers the Board and Board Committee roles across the headstock and other operating entities which the Centuria directors sit on. The fee schedule is designed to improve transparency while recognising that each board is responsible for actively overseeing the financial position and monitoring the business and affairs of the entity on behalf of the stakeholders, to whom they are accountable.
In determining the fee schedule, the non-executive director fees were benchmarked against the same peer group of S&P/ASX200 AREIT companies used to determine levels of executive committee pay. Additionally, the complexity of the overall Group and the commitment levels required by non-executive directors was considered in setting the level of fees.
The new fee schedule, outlined below, became effective from 1 June 2021:

Note (i): Committee members who are also Directors on the Centuria Capital Group Board are remunerated $30,000 and all other committee members are remunerated $45,000 (from 1 July 2021 this has increased to $55,000).
Related Party Transactions
In 2020, the Board established a Conflicts Committee to assist the boards of Centuria entities when they are considering matters involving conflicts of interests. This committee is overseen by an external independent chair, being Professor Simon Rice AO. One of the key oversight roles of the Conflicts Committee is monitoring related party transactions involving board members of Centuria entities. Amongst its AREIT peers in the S&P/ASX200, Centuria is the only company to have such a committee.
Following feedback from investors and other stakeholders, a review of consulting fees paid to entities related to Board members was undertaken. Traditionally, any directors who were associated with entities that received consulting fees had their independence tested by reference to ASIC guidelines on independence and through an external review.
Every independent director has had their independence confirmed through that process. Notwithstanding that confirmed independence and compliance with all appropriate guidelines, the Board has now adopted a policy that, moving forward, as a matter of general principle, third party consultancy fees should not be paid to entities that are related to independent directors.
Accordingly, whilst there was some work that needed to be completed, from 1 June 2021, no consulting fees will be paid to entities associated with CNI directors.
During the financial year, the following transactions occurred between the Group and key management personnel:
-
Wolseley Corporate Pty Ltd, a related party of Mr Garry S. Charny, was paid $328,707 (inclusive of GST) (2020: $556,050) for corporate advisory fees.
-
Tailwind Consulting Pty Ltd, a related party of Mr John R. Slater was paid a total of $211,977 (inclusive of GST) (2020: $271,558) for consultancy services.

Assets and liabilities have been presented on the face of the statement of financial position in decreasing order of liquidity and do not distinguish between current and non-current items.
GOING CONCERN
The financial report has been prepared on a going-concern basis, which assumes continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. The COVID-19 pandemic has created uncertainty on the global and local financial markets and may impact on the ability of funds managed by the Group to meet their obligations. The Group has completed an extensive assessment on key investments and receivables and remains confident that it will be able to continue as a going concern. Refer to Note C3.
ROUNDING OF AMOUNTS
The Group is an entity of a kind referred to in ASIC Legislative Instrument 2016/191, related to the ‘rounding off’ of amounts in the Directors’ Report and financial statements. Amounts in the Directors’ Report and financial statements have been rounded off, in accordance with the instrument to the nearest thousand dollars, unless otherwise indicated.
A2 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accounting policies and methods of computation in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements are consistent with those adopted in the previous financial year ended 30 June 2020 with the exception of the adoption of new accounting standards outlined below or in the relevant notes to the consolidated financial statements.
When the presentation or classification of items in the consolidated financial statements has been amended, comparative amounts are also reclassified, unless it is impractical. Accounting policies are selected and applied in a manner that ensures that the resulting financial information satisfies the concepts of relevance and reliability, thereby ensuring that the substance of the underlying transactions or other events are reported.
These financial statements contain all significant accounting policies that summarise the recognition and measurement basis used and which are relevant to provide an understanding of the financial statements. Accounting policies that are specific to a note to the financial statements are described in the note to which they relate.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into the respective functional currencies of Group companies at the exchange rate at the dates of the transactions.
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rate at the reporting date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rate when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items that are measured based on historical cost in a foreign currency are translated at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Foreign currency differences are generally recognised in profit or loss.
However, foreign currency differences arising from the translation of the following items are recognised in Other Comprehensive Income (OCI):
-
an investment in equity securities designated as at Fair value through OCI (FVOCI) (except on impairment, in which case foreign currency differences that have been recognised in OCI are reclassified to profit or loss);
-
a financial liability designated as a hedge of the net investment in a foreign operation to the extent that the hedge is effective; and
-
qualifying cash flow hedges to the extent that the hedges are effective.
FOREIGN OPERATIONS
The assets and liabilities of foreign operations, including goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on acquisition, are translated into the Australian dollar (AUD) at the exchange rate at the reporting date. The income and expenses of foreign operations are translated into AUD at the exchange rates at the date of the transactions.
Foreign currency differences arising from the translation of foreign operations are recognised in OCI and accumulated into the translation reserve, except to the extent that the translation difference is allocated to NCI.

A3 OTHER NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS AND INTERPRETATIONS
The AASB has issued new or amendments to standards that are first effective from 1 July 2020.
The following amended standards and interpretations that have been adopted do not have a significant impact on the Group’s consolidated financial statements.
Standards now effective:
AASB 2018-6
Clarifies the definition of a business as per AASB 3 Business Combinations and is applied prospectively to future acquisitions.
A4 USE OF JUDGEMENTS AND ESTIMATES
In preparing these consolidated financial statements, management has made judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expense that are not readily apparent from other sources. The judgements, estimates and assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Information about critical judgements in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the consolidated financial statements is included in the following notes:
-
Note B2 Revenue - Performance fees
-
Note C4 Investment properties
AASB 2018-7
Clarifies the definition of material as applied across all reporting standards as per AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements with intention of increasing a user’s focus on the material items in a financial report.
-
Note C6 Intangible assets
-
Note F3 Financial instruments
AASB 2014-10
Clarifies the requirements for recording the sale or contribution of assets between an investor and its associate or joint venture.
Standards not yet effective:
AASB 17 INSURANCE CONTRACTS
AASB 17 Insurance Contracts establishes principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of insurance contracts issued. It also requires similar principles to be applied to reinsurance contracts held and investment contracts with discretionary participation features issued. The objective is to ensure that entities provide relevant information in a way that faithfully represents those contracts. This information gives a basis for users of financial statements to assess the effect that contracts within the scope of AASB 17 have on the financial position, financial performance and cash flows of the entity. The Group are currently assessing the impact of AASB 17 Insurance Contracts.
AASB 2020-3
Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards Annual Improvements 2018-2020 and Other Amendments This amendment adds to AASB 3 a requirement that, for transactions and other events within the scope of AASB 137 or IFRIC 21, an acquirer applies AASB 137 or IFRIC 21 (instead of the Conceptual Framework) to identify the liabilities it has assumed in a business combination and explicit statement that an acquirer does not recognise contingent assets acquired in a business combination.
AASB 2020-1
Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards - Classification of liabilities as current or non-current (Amendments to AASB 101) Under existing AASB 101 requirements, companies classify a liability as current when they do not have an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the end of the reporting period. As part of its amendments, the Board has removed the requirement for a right to be unconditional and instead, now requires that a right to defer settlement must have substance and exist at the end of the reporting period. It is expected that the changes will have minimal impact to the Group.

For the year ended 30 June 2021
| Revenue | ||

| recognition | ||
| Type of revenue | Description | policy |
| Performance | The Group receives a performance fee for providing management services where | Over-time |
| fees | the property fund outperforms a set internal rate of return (IRR) benchmark at | |
| the time the property is sold. Consideration is due upon successful sale of the | ||
| investment property if the performance hurdles are satisfed. | ||
| In measuring the performance fees to be recognised each period, consideration | ||
| is given to the facts and circumstances with respect to each investment property | ||
| including external factors such as its current valuation, passage of time and | ||
| outlook of the property market. | ||
| Performance fees are only recognised when they are deemed to be highly | ||
| probable and the amount of the performance fees will not result in a signifcant | ||
| reversal in future periods. | ||
| The Group’s performance fees are recognised over-time under AASB 15 Revenue | ||
| from Contracts with Customers. | ||
| The key assumptions made in estimating the amount of performance fee revenue | ||
| that is highly probable include: | ||
| >2 years from forecast fund end date: | ||
| It is assumed that the highly probable threshold is only met when the forecast | ||
| end date of the fund is within two years from balance date. The forecast end date | ||
| is generally based on the relevant fund end date as expressed in the relevant PDS | ||
| or a revised fund end date in the event that an alternative strategy is undertaken | ||
| by the Group, in which case the unbooked portion of any forecast performance | ||
| fees are recognised over the extended term of the fund. In instances where the | ||
| fund term is extended beyond two years from the reporting date and the Group | ||
| has already accrued a performance fee in prior periods, the Group will continue to | ||
| accrue any additional fee over the extended remaining period. | ||
| Probability thresholds for sensitivity to property valuations: | ||
| The level of constraint applied to performance fee revenue is adjusted depending | ||
| on remaining fund tenure. Specifcally, a discount in property values between | ||
| 10.0% to 20.0% is applied, depending on when in the two-year window the fund | ||
| is expected to wind up. In instances where the fund term is extended beyond two | ||
| years from the reporting date and the Group has already accrued a performance | ||
| fee in prior periods, a discount in property values between 2.5% to 10.0% is | ||
| applied depending on the remaining fund term as it is assumed the fund term | ||
| extension was on the basis that fund performance can be further enhanced, | ||
| thereby reducing the risk of valuation decrements and increasing the likelihood of | ||
| achieving the full performance fee. | ||
| Fair value of investment properties: | ||
| The fair value of investment properties is based on the latest available valuation | ||
| of the underlying property from the published fnancial statements or board | ||
| approved valuations. | ||
| Recoverable | The Group recovers the costs associated with general building and tenancy | Over-time |
| outgoings | operation from lessees in accordance with specifc clauses within lease | |
| agreements. These are invoiced monthly based on an annual estimate. The | ||
| consideration is due 30 days from invoice date. Should any adjustment be | ||
| required based on actual costs incurred, this is recognised in the statement of | ||
| fnancial performance within the same reporting period and billed annually. | ||
| Property | The Group provides property acquisition related services to property funds and | Point-in-time |

86[| ] Centuria Capital Group – Annual Report 2021
RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT
Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and payable on a deferred basis.
(i) Current tax
The tax currently payable is based on taxable income for the year. Taxable income differs from profit as reported in the consolidated profit or loss because of items of income or expense that are assessable or deductible in other years as well as items that are never assessable or deductible. The Group’s liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.
(ii) Deferred tax
Deferred tax is recognised on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and the corresponding tax bases.
Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all assessable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, unused tax losses and tax offsets, to the extent that it is probable that sufficient future taxable profits will be available to utilise them.
However, deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised for:
-
assessable temporary differences that arise from the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination which affects neither taxable income nor accounting profit;
-
assessable temporary differences relating to investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures to the extent that the Group is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that they will not reverse in the foreseeable future; and
-
assessable temporary differences arising from goodwill
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable income will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset realised, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. The applicable rates are 30% for deferred tax assets and liabilities arising to the Australian subsidiaries of the Company and 28% for deferred tax asset and liabilities arising to the New Zealand subsidiaries of the Company. The measurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Group expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the Group intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.
(iii) Tax consolidation
The Company and all its wholly-owned Australian resident subsidiaries are part of a tax consolidated group under Australian taxation law. The Company is the head company of the tax consolidated group. Tax expense/benefit, deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities arising from temporary differences of the members of the tax consolidated group are recognised in their separate financial statements using a ‘standalone taxpayer’ approach. Under the tax funding agreement between members of the tax consolidated group, amounts are recognised as payable to or receivable by each member in relation to the tax contribution amounts paid or payable between the Company and the members of the the tax consolidated group.
The Benefit Funds are part of the tax consolidated group, and they are allocated a share of the income tax liability attributable to Centuria Life Limited equal to the income tax liability that would have arisen to the Benefit Funds had they been stand-alone entities.
Centuria Capital Fund (‘CCF’) and its sub-trusts are not part of the tax consolidated group. Under current Australian income tax legislation, trusts are not liable for income tax, provided their securityholders are presently entitled to the net (taxable) income of the trust including realised capital gains, each financial year.
Primewest Group Limited (Primewst Group) is not a wholly-owned subisidary of the Company for tax purposes at 30 June 2021 and is its own tax consolidated group at 30 June 2021. Primewest Group’s tax rate was 27.5% prior to the company’s acquisition of Primewest Group Limited. The tax rate was increased to 30% retrospectively on the date of acquisition in accordance with Australian tax legislation. Subsequent to the year-ended 30 June 2021, Primewest Group formed part of the Company’s consolidated tax group as a result of the Company acquiring the remaining interest post year-end.
Centuria Healthcare Pty Ltd (‘Centuria Healthcare’) is not a whollyowned subsidiary of the Company at 30 June 2021. Centuria Healthcare has formed its own tax consolidated group with its wholly-owned subsidiaries at 30 June 2021. Centuria Healthcare is the head company of the Centuria Healthcare tax consolidated group. Tax expense/ benefit, deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities arising from temporary differences of the members of the tax consolidated group are recognised in their separate financial statements using a ‘standalone taxpayer’ approach. As no tax funding agreement existed at 30 June 2021 between the members of the tax consolidated group, any amounts payable or receivable in relation to the tax contribution for each entity is recognised as a contribution of capital with the head company of the tax consolidated group.
The New Zealand tax resident subsidiaries of the Company are all stand-alone taxpayers from a New Zealand income tax perspective as they have not elected to form a consolidated group for New Zealand tax purposes.
(iv) Current and deferred tax for the period
Income taxes relating to items recognised directly in equity are recognised directly in equity and not in the statement of comprehensive income. In the case of a business combination, the tax effect is included in the accounting for the business combination.

RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT
Receivables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, less an allowance for impairment. Due to the short-term nature of these financial rights, their carrying amounts are estimated to represent their fair values.
(i) Contract assets - development
The timing of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections results in billed accounts receivable (trade receivables) and unbilled receivables (contract assets) on the consolidated statement of financial position.
In respect of the Social Affordable Housing Developments within the Property Funds Management segment, billing occurs subsequent to revenue recognition, resulting in contract assets.

RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT
All financial assets are recognised and derecognised on trade date where the purchase or sale of a financial asset is under a contract whose terms require delivery of the financial asset within the timeframe established by the market concerned. Financial assets are initially measured at fair value plus transaction costs, except for those financial assets classified as at fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”), which are initially measured at fair value only.
Financial assets are classified as financial assets at FVTPL when the financial asset is either held for trading or it is designated as at fair value through profit or loss.
Financial assets at FVTPL are stated at fair value, with any gains or losses arising on remeasurement recognised in profit or loss. The net gain or loss recognised in profit or loss incorporates any dividend or interest earned on the financial asset and is included in the statement of comprehensive income.
AASB 9 contains three principal classification categories for financial assets:
-
measured at amortised cost;
-
measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI); and
-
measured at FVTPL.
The classification depends on the entity’s business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual terms of the cash flows.
(i) Financial assets at amortised cost
Loans and receivables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method less any allowance under the Expected Credit Loss (“ECL”) model.
(ii) Recoverability of loans and receivables
At each reporting period, the Group assesses whether financial assets carried at amortised cost are ‘credit-impaired’. A financial asset is ‘credit-impaired’ when one or more events that has a detrimental impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset have occurred.
The Group recognises loss allowances at an amount equal to lifetime ECL on trade and other receivables. Loss allowances for financial assets measured at amortised cost are deducted from the gross carrying amount of the assets.
Lifetime ECLs result from all possible default events over the expected life of the trade receivables and are a probability-weighted estimate of credit losses. Credit losses are measured as the difference between cash flows due to the Group in accordance with the contract and the cash flows that the Group expects to receive.
The Group analyses the age of outstanding receivable balances and applies historical default percentages adjusted for other current observable data as a means to estimate lifetime ECL, including forecasts of interest rates and inflation, as well as the financial stress of counterparties and their ability to operate as a going concern. Debts that are known to be uncollectable are written off when identified.
Given that COVID-19 is an ongoing situation, the Group has continued to analyse the age of outstanding receivable balances post balance sheet date and applied estimated percentages of recoverability to estimate ECL, as well as the financial stress of counterparties and their ability to operate as a going concern. Debts that are known to be uncollectible are written off when identified.
(iii) Financial assets at fair value through profit and loss
All financial assets not classified as measured at amortised cost or FVOCI as described above are measured at FVTPL. This includes all derivative financial assets. On initial recognition, the Group may irrevocably designate a financial asset that otherwise meets the requirements to be measured at amortised cost or at FVOCI or at FVTPL if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting mismatch that would otherwise arise.
A financial asset (unless it is a trade receivable without a significant financing component that is initially measured at the transaction price) is initially measured at fair value plus, for an item not at FVTPL, transaction costs that are directly attributable to its acquisition.
Financial assets at FVTPL are subsequently measured at fair value. Net gains and losses, including any interest or dividend income, are recognised in profit or loss.
Financial assets recognised at FVTPL include reverse mortgage loan receivables, reverse mortgage derivatives and investments in trusts.

The investment properties recognised by the Group are properties owned by related party funds that are taken to be controlled by the Group under accounting standards. Investment properties are properties held either to earn rental income or for capital appreciation or for both. Investment properties are initially recorded at cost which includes stamp duty and other transaction costs. Subsequently, the investment properties are measured at the fair value with any change in value recognised in profit or loss. The carrying amount of investment properties includes components relating to deferred rent, lease incentives and leasing fees.
An investment property is derecognised upon disposal. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the property (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in profit or loss in the period in which the property is derecognised.
The fair value of the investment properties were determined by the directors of the Responsible Entity of the relevant fund or by an external, independent valuation company having an appropriate recognised professional qualification and recent experience in the location and category of the properties being valued. Fair value is based on market values, being the estimated amount for which a property could be exchanged on the date of valuation between a willing buyer and willing seller in an arm’s length transaction after proper marketing wherein the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion.
The valuations were prepared by considering the following valuation methodologies:
-
Capitalisation approach: the annual net rental income is capitalised at an appropriate market yield to arrive at the property’s market value. Appropriate capital adjustments are then made where necessary to reflect the specific cash flow profile and the general characteristics of the property.
-
Discounted cash flow approach: this approach incorporates the estimation of future annual cash flows over a 10 year period by reference to expected rental growth rates, ongoing capital expenditure, terminal sale value and acquisition and disposal costs. The present value of future cash flows is then determined by the application of an appropriate discount rate to derive a net present value for the property.
-
Direct comparison approach: this approach identifies comparable sales on a dollar per square metre of lettable area basis and compares the equivalent rates to the property being valued to determine the property’s market value.
The valuations reflect, when appropriate, the type of tenants actually in occupation or responsible for meeting lease commitments or likely to be in occupation after letting of vacant accommodation and the market’s general perception of their credit-worthiness; the allocation of maintenance and insurance responsibilities between the lessor and lessee; and the remaining economic life of the property. It has been assumed that whenever rent reviews or lease renewals are pending with anticipated reversionary increases, all notices and, where appropriate, counter notices have been served validly and within the appropriate time.
The most significant unobservable input used in the above valuation techniques and its relationship with fair value measurement is the capitalisation rate. The higher/lower the rate, the lower/higher the fair value.
94[| ] Centuria Capital Group – Annual Report 2021
(B) FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT
The fair value measurement of investment properties has been categorised as a Level 3 fair value as it is derived from valuation techniques that include inputs that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

Recognition and measurement
Properties held for development relates to land and property developments that are held for sale or development and sale in the normal course of the Group’s business. Properties held for development are carried at the lower of cost or net realisable value.
The calculation of net realisable value requires estimates and assumptions which are regularly evaluated and are based on historical experience and expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Properties held for development are classified as non-current assets unless they are contracted to be sold within 12 months of the end of the reporting period, in which case they are classified as current assets.

Goodwill and management rights are solely attributable to the Property Funds Management cash generating unit with recoverability determined by a value in use calculation using profit and loss projections covering a five year period, with a terminal value determined after five years.
RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT
(i) Indefinite life management rights
Management rights acquired in a business combination are initially measured at fair value and reflect the right to provide asset and fund management services in accordance with the management agreements.
EXPENSES
Expenses in 2022 are based on the budget for 2022 and are assumed to increase at a rate of 5.0% (2020: 5.0%) per annum for the years 2023-2026. The directors believe this is an appropriate growth rate based on past experience.
DISCOUNT RATE
Discount rates are determined to calculate the present value of future cash flows. A pre-tax rate of 9.37% (2020: 9.44%) is applied to cash flow projections. In determining the appropriate discount rate, regard has been given to relevant market data as well as Group specific inputs.
TERMINAL GROWTH RATE
Beyond 2026, a growth rate of 3.0% (2020: 3.0%), in line with long term economic growth, has been applied to determine the terminal value of the asset.
SENSITIVITY TO CHANGES IN ASSUMPTIONS
As at 30 June 2021, the estimated recoverable amount of intangibles including goodwill relating to the Property Funds Management cash-generating unit exceeded its carrying amount by $585,400,000 (2020: $322,400,000). The table below shows the key assumptions used in the value in use calculation and the amount by which each key assumption must change in isolation in order for the estimated recoverable amount to be equal to its carrying value.
| Revenue | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| growth rate | Pre-tax | Expenses | |
| (average) | discount rate | growth rate | |

5.00% |
| Rate required for recoverable | |||
| amount to equal carrying value | (0.92%) | 13.89% | 15.19% |
(ii) Goodwill
Goodwill acquired in a business combination is measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost less any impairment losses. The cost represents the excess of the cost of a business combination over the fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities acquired.
(iii) Impairment
Goodwill and intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life are tested annually for impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that they might be impaired. Other assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.
An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. For the purpose of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets (cash generating units or CGUs). Non-financial assets other than goodwill that were previously impaired are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at each reporting date.
KEY ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS
The key assumptions used in the value in use calculations for the Property Funds Management cash-generating unit are as follows:
C7 PAYABLES
| C7 PAYABLES |
||
|---|---|---|
| 2021 | 2020 | |
| $’000 | $’000 | |
| Sundry creditors(i) | 22,550 | 36,498 |
| Dividend/distribution payable(ii) | 44,513 | 25,110 |
| Accrued expenses | 21,612 | 14,924 |
| 88,675 | 76,532 |
(i) Sundry creditors are non-interest bearing liabilities and are payable on commercial terms of 7 to 60 days.
(ii) Includes the Primewest final distribution payable for the year ended 30 June 2021 of $11,500,000.
All trade and other payables are considered to be current as at 30 June 2021, due to their short-term nature.
RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT
Payables are recognised when the Group becomes obliged to make future payments resulting from the purchase of goods and services. Due to the short-term nature of these financial obligations, their carrying amounts are estimated to represent their fair values.
REVENUE
Revenues in 2022 are based on the Board approved budget for 2022 and are assumed to increase at a rate of 7.5% (2020: 7.5%) per annum for years 2023-2026. The directors believe this is a prudent and achievable growth rate based on past experience.

RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT
(i) Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and entities controlled by the Company. The Group controls an entity when it is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date on which control commences until the date on which control ceases.
Intra-group balances and transactions, and any unrealised income and expenses arising from intra-group transactions, are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements.
The Company is required by AASB 10 Consolidated Financial Statements to recognise the assets, liabilities, income, expenses and equity of the benefit funds of its subsidiary, Centuria Life Limited (the “Benefit Funds”). The assets and liabilities of the Benefit Funds do not impact the net profit after tax or the equity attributable to the securityholders of the Company and the securityholders of the Company have no rights over the assets and liabilities held in the Benefit Funds.
In order to reflect the assets and liabilities pertaining to the Benefit Funds being attributable to policyholders (as approved to securityholders) an equal and offsetting policyholder liability is recognised on consolidation. In addition, on consolidation of the various income and expenses attributable to the Benefit Funds an equal and opposite net change in policyholder liabilities is recorded in the statement of comprehensive income.
The Company has majority representation on the Board of the Over Fifty Guardian Friendly Society Limited (Guardian). However, as Guardian is a mutual organisation, the Company has no legal rights to Guardian’s net assets, nor does it derive any benefit from exercising its power and therefore does not control Guardian.

F1 SHARE-BASED PAYMENT ARRANGEMENTS
(A) LTI PLAN DETAILS
The Company has an Executive Incentive Plan (“LTI Plan”) which forms a key element of the Company’s incentive and retention strategy for senior executives under which Performance Rights (“Rights”) are issued.
Each employee receives ordinary securities of the Group on vesting of the performance rights. No amounts are paid or payable by the recipient on receipt of the performance rights or on vesting. The performance rights carry neither rights to dividends nor voting rights prior to vesting.
It is expected that future annual grants of performance rights will be made, subject to the Board’s determination of the overall performance of the Group and market conditions. The vesting of any performance rights awarded will be subject to attainment of appropriate performance hurdles and on the basis of continuing employment with the Group.
Further details of the LTI Plan are included in the Audited remuneration report from page 55 to page 68.
| 2021 | 2020 | |
|---|---|---|
| Performance rights outstanding | ||
| at the beginning of the year | 7,090,373 | 5,727,134 |
| Performance rights granted | ||
| during the year | 3,861,014 | 2,892,669 |
| Performance rights vested | ||
| during the year | (1,991,288) | (1,529,430) |
| Performance rights outstanding | ||
| at the end of the year | 8,960,099 | 7,090,373 |
The performance objectives for 2,297,578 of the performance rights issued under Tranche 6 were met in full at 30 June 2021. As a result, these rights will vest on 11 August 2021.
(B) MEASUREMENT OF FAIR VALUES
The fair value of the rights was calculated using a binomial tree valuation methodology for the Rights with non-market vesting conditions and a Monte-Carlo simulation for the Rights with market vesting conditions.
The inputs used in the measurement of the fair values at grant date of the rights were as follows:
| the rights were as follows: | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Tranche 6 | Tranche 7 | Tranche 8 | |
| 31 August | 31 August | 31 August | |
| Expected vesting date | 2021 | 2022 | 2023 |
| $2.51 | |||
| Share price at the grant date | $1.32 | $2.13 | and $2.37 |
| Expected life | 2.6 years | 2.9 years | 2.8 years |
| Volatility | 18% | 18% | 26% |
| 0.11% | |||
| Risk free interest rate | 1.75% | 0.76% | and 0.12% |
| Dividend yield | 6.5% | 4.5% | 4.2% |
The following table sets out the fair value of the rights at the respective grant date:
| grant date: | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Performance Condition | Tranche 6 | Tranche 7 | Tranche 8 |
| Growth in FUM | $1.11 | $1.87 | - |
| $1.29 | |||
| Absolute TSR | $0.19 | $0.79 | and $1.10(i) |
| $1.75 | |||
| Relative TSR | - | - | and $1.58(ii) |
(i) $1.29 for Chief Executive Officers and $1.10 for other employees.
(ii) $1.75 for Chief Executive Officers and $1.58 for other employees.
During the year, share based payment expenses were recognised of $3,058,000 (2020: $1,737,023).
RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT
Equity-settled share-based payments to employees and others providing similar services are measured at the fair value of the equity instruments at the grant date.
The fair value determined at the grant date of the equity-settled share-based payments is expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, based on the Group’s estimate of equity instruments that will eventually vest. At the end of each reporting period, the Group revises its estimate of the number of equity instruments expected to vest. The impact of the revision of the original estimates with respect to non-market vesting conditions, if any, is recognised in profit for the year such that the cumulative expense reflects the revised estimate, with a corresponding adjustment to the equitysettled employee benefits reserve.

Notes to the financial statements
For the year ended 30 June 2021
F2 GUARANTEES TO BENEFIT FUND POLICYHOLDERS
Centuria Life Limited (“CLL”) provides a guarantee to policyholders of two of its Benefit Funds, Centuria Capital Guaranteed Bond Fund and Centuria Income Accumulation Fund (collectively “Funds”) as described below.
If CLL is required under the bond rules to pay policy benefits to a policy owner as a consequence of the termination of a bond or the maturity or surrender of a policy, and CLL determines that the sums to be paid to the policy owner from the bonds shall be less than the amounts standing to the credit of the relevant accumulation account balance (or in the case of a partial surrender, the relevant proportion of the accumulation account balance), CLL guarantees to take all action within its control, including making payment from its management fund to the policy owner to ensure that the total sums received by the policy owner as a consequence of the termination, maturity or surrender equal the relevant accumulation account balance, or in the case of a partial surrender, the relevant proportion thereof.
No provision has been raised in respect of these guarantees at this time for the following reasons:
-
The Funds follow an investment strategy that is appropriate for the liabilities of the Funds. The Funds cannot alter their investment strategy without the approval of the members and APRA, following a report from the appointed actuary;
-
The Funds must meet the capital adequacy standards of APRA which results in additional reserves being held within the Funds to enable the Funds to withstand a “shock” in the market value of assets. If the Funds can withstand a shock in asset values and still meet their liabilities from their own reserves, then this further reduces the likelihood of the Funds calling on the guarantee provided; and
-
CLL also continues to meet the ongoing capital requirements set by APRA.

The Board is ultimately responsible for the Risk Management Framework of the Group.
The Group employs a cascading approach to managing risk, facilitated through delegation to specialist committees and individuals within the Group.
The Group is exposed to a variety of financial risks as a result of its activities. These risks include market risk (including interest rate risk and price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group’s risk management and investment policies, approved by the Board, seek to minimise the potential adverse effects of these risks on the Group’s financial performance. These policies may include the use of certain financial derivative instruments.
CLL has also established an Investment Committee. The Investment Committee’s function is to manage and oversee the Benefit Fund investments in accordance with the investment objectives and framework. Specifically, it has responsibility for setting and reviewing strategic asset allocations, reviewing investment performance, reviewing investment policy, monitoring and reporting on the performance of the investment risk management policy and performing risk management procedures in respect of the investments.
From time to time, the Group outsources certain parts of the investment management of the Benefit Funds to specialist investment managers including co-ordinating access to domestic and international financial markets, and managing the financial risks relating to the operations of the Group in accordance with an investment mandate set out in the Group’s constitution and the Benefit Funds’ product disclosure statements. The Benefit Funds’ investment mandates are to invest in equities and fixed interest securities via unit trusts, discount securities and may also invest in derivative instruments such as futures and options.
The Group uses interest rate swaps to manage interest rate risk and not for speculative purposes in any situation. Hedging is put in place where the Group is either seeking to minimise or eliminate cash-flow variability, i.e. converting variable rates to fixed rates, or changes in the fair values of underlying assets or liabilities, i.e. to convert fixed rates to variable rates.
Derivative financial instruments of the Benefit Funds, consolidated into the financial statements of the Group under AASB 10 Consolidated Financial Statements, are used only for hedging factual or anticipated exposures relating to investments. The use of financial derivatives in respect of Benefit Funds is governed by the Benefit Funds’ investment policies, which provide written principles on the use of financial derivatives.
(B) CAPITAL RISK MANAGEMENT
The Group manages its capital to ensure that entities in the Group will be able to continue as going concerns while maximising the return to stakeholders through the optimisation of debt and equity capital. This overall strategy remains unchanged from the prior year.
The Group’s capital structure consists of net debt (borrowings, offset by cash and cash equivalents) and equity of the Group (comprising issued capital, reserves and retained earnings).
The Group carries on business throughout Australia and New Zealand, primarily through subsidiary companies that are established in the markets in which the Group operates. The operations of CLL are regulated by APRA and the management fund of CLL as a minimum Prescribed Capital Amount (PCA) that must be maintained at all times. It is calculated monthly and these results are reported to the Board each month. The current level of share capital of CLL meets the PCA requirements.
In addition, Centuria Property Funds Limited, Centuria Funds Management Limited, Centuria Property Fund No.2 Limited, Centuria Healthcare Asset Management Limited and Heathley Funds Distribution
108[| ] Centuria Capital Group – Annual Report 2021
Limited have AFS licences so as to operate registered property trusts. Regulations require these entities to hold a minimum net asset amount which is maintained by way of cash term deposits and listed liquid investments.
Operating cash flows are used to maintain and, where appropriate, expand the Group’s funds under management as well as to make the routine outflows of tax, dividends and repayment of maturing debt. The Group regularly reviews its anticipated funding requirements and the most appropriate form of funding (capital raising or borrowings) depending on what the funding will be used for.
The capital structure of the Benefit Funds (and management fund) consists of cash and cash equivalents, bill facilities and mortgage assets. The Benefit Funds also hold a range of financial assets for investment purposes including investments in unit trusts, equity and floating rate notes. The Investment Committee aims to ensure that there is sufficient capital for possible redemptions by policyholders of the Benefit Funds by regularly monitoring the level of liquidity in each fund.
The Benefit Funds have no restrictions or specific capital requirements on the application and redemption of units. The Benefit Funds’ overall investment strategy remains unchanged from the prior year.
(C) FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
(i) Valuation techniques and assumptions applied in determining fair value
The fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities with standard terms and conditions and traded on active liquid markets are determined with reference to quoted market prices (includes listed redeemable notes, bills of exchange, debentures and perpetual notes).
The fair values of other financial assets and financial liabilities (excluding derivative instruments) are determined in accordance with generally accepted pricing models based on discounted cash flow analysis using prices from observable current market transactions and dealer quotes for similar instruments. Discount rates are determined based on market rates applicable to the financial asset or liability.
The valuation technique used to determine the fair value of the Group’s reverse mortgage loan book is as follows:
-
the weighted average reverse mortgage holders’ age is 82 years;
-
the future cash flows calculation is related to borrowers’ mortality rates and mortality improvements. The data is sourced from mortality tables sourced from externally published data.
-
fixed or variable interest rates charged to borrowers are used to project future cash flows;
-
a redemption rate, which is based on historical loan redemption experience, applies to future cash flow forecast; and
-
year-end yield curve plus a credit margin is used to discount future cash flows back to 30 June 2021 to determine the fair value.
(ii) Valuation techniques and assumptions applied in determining fair value of derivatives
The fair values of derivative instruments are calculated using quoted prices. Where such prices are not available, discounted cash flow analysis is performed using the applicable yield curve for the duration of the instruments for non-optional derivatives, and option pricing models for optional derivatives.
The valuation technique used to determine the fair value of the Fixed for Life interest rate swaps is as follows:
-
the weighted average reverse mortgage holders’ age is 82 years;
-
the expected future cash flows in relation to the swaps are based on reverse mortgage borrowers’ expected life expectancy sourced from mortality tables provided by the actuary; and the difference between the fixed swap pay rates and forward rates as of 30 June 2021 is used to calculate the future cash flows in relation to the swaps; and year-end yield curve plus a credit margin is used to discount future cash flows back to 30 June 2021 to determine the fair value.
(iii) Fair value measurements recognised in the statement of financial position
The following table shows the carrying amounts and fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities, including their levels in the fair value hierarchy for financial instruments measured at fair value.
The table provides an analysis of financial instruments that are measured subsequent to initial recognition at fair value, grouped into Levels 1 to 3 based on the degree to which the fair value is observable.
-
Level 1 fair value measurements are those derived from quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
-
Level 2 fair value measurements are those derived from inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).
-
Level 3 fair value measurements are those derived from valuation techniques that include inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
There were no transfers between Level 1, 2 and 3 in the period.

The Group determines Level 2 fair values for financial assets and liabilities without an active market based on broker quotes. Level 2 fair values for simple over-the-counter derivatives are also based on broker quotes. Those quotes are tested for reasonableness by discounting expected future cash flows using market interest rates for a similar instrument at the measurement date. Fair values reflect the credit risk of the instrument and include adjustments to take account of the credit risk of the entity and counterparty where appropriate.
110[| ] Centuria Capital Group – Annual Report 2021
(iii) Fair value measurements recognised in the statement of financial position (continued)
The Level 3 financial asset held by the Group is the fair value of the residential mortgage receivables attributable to interest rate risk. The Level 3 financial liability held by the Group is the fixed-for-life interest rate swaps. These items are designated in a fair value hedging relationship, with the fair value movements on the swaps offset by the fair value movements in the mortgage receivables. However, as the Group has only designated the fair value movements attributable to interest rate risk in the hedging relationship, any other fair value movements impact the profit and loss directly, such as credit risk movements.

KEY ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS
The fair value of the 50-year residential mortgage loans and 50year swaps are calculated using a valuation technique based on assumptions that are not supported by prices from observable current market transactions in the same instrument and not based on available observable market data due to the illiquid nature of the instruments. A discounted cash flow model is used for analysis using the applicable yield curve out to 20 years, with the yield curve at 20 years employed as the best proxy for subsequent rates due to non-observable market data and to reflect the average remaining life expectancy of the borrowers.
Assumptions and inputs used for valuation of reverse mortgage loan receivables:
-
The loan interest compounding period is the expected remaining life of the borrower;
-
Mortality rates for males and females are based on portfolioadjusted 2013-2015 Life Tables;
-
The compounding interest rate is the fixed rate of loan for the period from day 1 up to the point of time when loan carrying amount equals the property value. After that point of time, the loan compounding rate will be reduced to the same as long term residential property growth rate determined by Management, on the grounds that any fixed rate exceeding the property growth rate will not be recovered after that point of time;
-
For 30 June 2021 valuation, the property growth rates are 3.5% for FY22, 3.5% for FY23, then reverted to a 3.5% flat rate from FY23 onwards;
-
Discount factors are calculated based on the market quoted long term rates on 30 June 2021;
-
The 1.2% flat credit risk premium, reflecting the portfolio default profile on 30 June 2021, is added to the monthly cash flow discount factors to discount future cash flows generated by the reverse mortgage loans.

Notes to the financial statements
For the year ended 30 June 2021
RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT
The Group enters into derivative financial instruments such as interest rate swaps to manage its exposure to interest rate risk.
Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value at the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured to their fair value at each reporting period. The resulting gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss immediately unless the derivative is designated and effective as a hedging instrument, in which event, the timing of the recognition in profit or loss depends on the nature of the hedge relationship.
(D) CREDIT RISK
Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Group. The Group has adopted a policy of only dealing with creditworthy counterparties and obtaining sufficient collateral or other security, where appropriate, as a means of mitigating risk of financial loss from default. The credit risk on financial assets of the Group and the parent recognised in the statement of financial position is generally the carrying amount, net of allowance for impairment loss.
Concentration of risk may exist when the volume of transactions limits the number of counterparties.
(i) Credit risk of reverse mortgages
Concentration of credit risk in relation to reverse mortgage loans is minimal, as each individual reverse mortgage loan is secured by an individual residential property. The loan is required to be settled off from the proceeds of disposal of the secured property after the borrower’s death.
Individual property valuations are conducted at least every 3 years in accordance with financier’s requirements. At 30 June 2021, the highest loan to value ratio (LVR) of a loan in the reverse mortgage loan book is 117% (2020: 131%), and there are 77 out of 182 (2020: 69 out of 196) reverse mortgage loans where the LVR is higher than 50%.
(ii) Credit risk on other financial assets
Credit risk on other financial assets such as investments in floating rate notes, standard discount securities and unit trusts is managed through strategic asset allocations with creditworthy counterparties and the on-going monitoring of the credit quality of investments, including the use of credit ratings issued by well-known rating agencies. The exposure of credit risk in respect of financial assets is minimal.
(E) LIQUIDITY RISK
The Group’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities.
The liquidity risk is managed for the Group at a corporate level. Bank account balances across all entities, current and future commitments, and expected cash inflows are reviewed in detail when the monthly cash flow projection is prepared for management purposes and presented to the Board at its regular monthly meetings. By comparing the projected cash flows with the assets and liabilities shown in the individual and consolidated statements of financial position, which are also prepared on a monthly basis for management purposes and presented to the Board, liquidity requirements for the Group can be determined. Based on this review, if it is considered that the expected cash inflows plus liquidity on hand, may not be sufficient in the near term to meet cash outflow requirements, including repayment of borrowings, a decision can be made to carry out one or more of the following:
-
renegotiate the repayment terms of the borrowings;
-
sell assets that are held on the statement of financial position; and/or
-
undertake an equity raising.
This, combined with a profitable business going forward, should ensure that the Group continues to meet its commitments, including repayments of borrowings, as and when required.
The Group’s overall strategy to liquidity risk management remains unchanged from the prior year.
The following table summarises the Group’s remaining contractual maturity for its non-derivative financial liabilities with agreed repayment periods. The tables have been prepared based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities based on the earliest date on which the Group and the parent can be required to pay. The tables include both interest and principal cash flows. To the extent that interest flows are at floating rate, the undiscounted amount is derived from interest rate curves at the end of the reporting period.
The policyholders in the Benefit Funds are able to redeem their policies at any time and the Benefit Funds are therefore exposed to the liquidity risk of meeting policyholders’ withdrawals at any time. The Investment Committee aims to ensure that there is sufficient capital for possible redemptions by policyholders of the Benefit Funds by regularly monitoring the level of liquidity in each fund.
The Group does not have any significant credit risk exposure to any single entity in other financial assets or any group of counterparties having similar characteristics.

(F) MARKET RISK
Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risk comprises interest rate risk and price risk. Due to the nature of assets held by the Group (excluding the Benefit Funds), there is an asset and liability management process which determines the interest rate sensitivity of the statement of financial position and the implementation of risk management practices to hedge the potential effects of interest rate changes. The Group manages the market risk associated with its Benefit Funds by outsourcing its investment management. The Investment Manager manages the financial risks relating to the operations of the Benefit Funds in accordance with an investment mandate set out in the Benefit Funds’ constitution and PDS. There has been no change to the Group’s exposure to market risks or the manner in which it manages and measures the risk.

(ii) Interest rate swap contracts
Under interest rate swap contracts, the Group agrees to exchange the difference between fixed and floating rate interest amounts calculated on agreed notional principal amounts. Such contracts enable the Group to mitigate the risk of changing interest rates on the fair value of fixed rate financial assets held and the cash flow exposures on the issued variable rate debt.
The following table details the notional principal amounts and remaining expiry of the Group’s outstanding interest rate swap contracts as at reporting date. These swaps are at fair value through profit and loss.

(iii) Interest rate sensitivity
The sensitivity analysis below has been determined based on the parent and the Group’s exposure to interest rates at the balance date and the stipulated change taking place at the beginning of the financial year and held constant throughout the reporting period, in the case of financial assets and financial liabilities that have variable interest rates. A 25 basis point (0.25%) increase or decrease represents management’s assessment of the reasonably possible change in interest rate.
At reporting date, if variable interest rates had been 25 (2020: 25) basis points higher or lower and all other variables were held constant, the impact to the Group would have been as follows:
| Effect on proft after tax | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Change in variable | Change in variable | 2021 | 2020 | |
| Consolidated | 2021 | 2020 | $’000 | $’000 |
| Interest rate risk | +0.25% | +0.25% | (496) | (181) |
| Interest rate risk | -0.25% | -0.25% | 500 | 109 |

|---|---|
| Refer to Note B2 to the Financial Report | |
| The key audit matter | How the matter was addressed in our audit |
| The Stapled Group, in its capacity as a property fund manager, earns performance fees based on agreements with some of its managed property funds. Performance fees are triggered when underlying funds internal rate of return exceeds the agreed hurdle rate. Recognition of performance fee income is considered a key audit matter due to the: • Quantum of performance fee income, representing 8% of the Stapled Group’s total revenue; and • Significant judgement exercised by us in assessing the amount of performance fees recognised by the Stapled Group. The key assumptions impacting the amount of performance fees, are subject to estimation uncertainty, bias and inconsistent application. This increases the risk of inaccurate forecasts or a wider range of possible outcomes for us to consider. Increased time and effort is spent by the audit team in assessing these key assumptions. The amount of performance fees recognised are impacted by key assumptions including: • Fair value of underlying investment properties held by the funds. The valuation of investment properties contains assumptions with estimation uncertainty such as expected capitalisation rates and market rental yields. This leads to additional audit effort due to the differing assumptions based on asset classes, geographies and characteristic of individual investment properties. • Forecast fund end date. The fund end date impacts the level of returns that can be achieved over the course of the funds life and may change depending on management’s view of when maximum value can be obtained for unitholders of the fund. • Constraint. This is impacted by the Stapled Group’s expectations of how much of the performance fee is highly probable of being received in accordance with the requirements of the accounting standards. |
In performing our procedures, we: • Read the Stapled Group’s agreements with managed property funds to understand the key terms related to performance fees, including hurdle rates. • Evaluated the Stapled Group’s accounting policies regarding the recognition of performance fee income against accounting standard requirements. This included assessing the Stapled Group’s policies for constraining performance fee income and valuing investment properties against accounting standard requirements. • Assessed the scope, competence and objectivity of the fund’s external experts and their internal valuers to fair value the underlying investment properties held by the funds. • Challenged specific property fair value assumptions such as capitalisation rates and market rental yields by comparing to market analysis published by industry experts, recent market transactions, inquiries with the Stapled Group, historical performance of the underlying investment properties and using our industry experience. • Assessed the Stapled Group’s determination of the forecast fund end date based on the underlying managed property fund agreements, the fair value of underlying investment properties, the Stapled Group’s fund strategy and history of extending fund term end dates. • Recalculated the Stapled Group’s performance fee recognised against hurdles in the underlying performance fee agreements with managed property funds. • Challenged the constraints applied in determining the amount of performance fees that are highly probable of bring received by the Stapled Group, based on the Stapled Group’s estimate of current and forecast property fund performance. We used our knowledge of the Stapled Group, their past performance, business, and our industry experience. |

| Recoverable amount of goodwill and indefinite life intangible assets ($790.6m) | |
| Refer to Note C6 to the Financial Report | |
| The key audit matter | How the matter was addressed in our audit |
| A key audit matter is the Group’s annual testing of goodwill and indefinite life intangible assets for impairment, given the size of the balance (being 31% of total assets) and sensitivity of the forward -looking assumptions to small changes. We focused on the significant forward-looking assumptions the Stapled Group applied in their value in use model, including: • Forecast operating cash flows, growth rates and terminal growth rates (taking into consideration future growth in funds under management and transactional fees). The Group’s model is sensitive to small changes in these assumptions, which may reduce available headroom. This drives additional audit effort specific to their feasibility and consistency of application to the Group’s strategy. • Discount rate - this is complicated in nature and varies according to the conditions and environment the specific Cash Generating Unit (CGU) is subject to from time to time. The Group’s modelling is highly sensitive to changes in the discount rate. We involved valuation specialists to supplement our senior audit team members in assessing this key audit matter. |
In performing our procedures, we: • Considered the appropriateness of the value in use method applied by the Stapled Group, to perform the annual test of goodwill and indefinite life intangible assets for impairment, against the requirements of the accounting standards. • Compared the forecast cash flows contained in the value in use model to the Board approved forecast. • Assessed the accuracy of previous Stapled Group forecasts to inform our evaluation of forecasts incorporated in the model. • Challenged the Stapled Group’s significant forecast cash flow and growth assumptions: - Challenged the Stapled Group’s significant forecast cash flows by comparing baseline cash flows to actual historic cash flows and comparing key events to the Board approved plan and strategy. - With the assistance of our valuation specialists, compared terminal growth rates to published studies of industry trends and expectations, and considered differences to the Stapled Group’s operations. We used our knowledge of the Stapled Group, their past performance, business and customers, and our industry experience. - Checked the consistency of the forecast growth rates to the Stapled Group’s stated plan and strategy and our experience regarding the feasibility of these in the economic environment in which they operate. • Worked with our valuation specialists to independently develop a discount rate range considered comparable using publicly available market data for comparable entities, adjusted by risk factors specific to the Stapled Group and the industry it operates in. |

Centuria Capital Group – Annual Report 2021[| ] 121
-
Considered the sensitivity of the model by varying key assumptions, such as forecast growth rates, terminal growth rates and discount rates, within a reasonably possible range. We did this to identify those assumptions at higher risk of bias or inconsistency in application and to focus on our further procedures.
-
Assessed the disclosures in the financial report using our understanding of the issue obtained from our testing and against the requirements of the accounting standards.
