Review of operations (continued)

Leasing and occupancy

The Trust secured 63,395 square metres ('sqm') of leases across 14 transactions for the half year ended 31 December 2019. This represented 6.8% of the portfolio’s gross lettable area.

At 31 December 2019 the Trust’s portfolio was 95.8% occupied and the remaining lease expiry for the year ending 30 June 2020 represent less than 1.1% of portfolio income. During the half year period the Trust has acquired several assets that have a long weighted average lease expiry ('WALE') and these have increased the Trust's WALE to 7.1 years (30 June 2019: 4.3 years).

Capital management

As at 31 December 2019, the Trust had drawn borrowings of $585.0 million with a weighted average expiry of 3.8 years. The drawn debt was 78.6% hedged reducing the interest rate exposure of the Trust.

The Trust’s gearing at 31 December 2019 was 35.5% (30 June 2019: 37.4%).

Outlook

The Responsible Entity’s strategy and ongoing focus remains unchanged. Management continues to focus on portfolio leasing to ensure occupancy and income are maximised, active asset management, risk mitigation and repositioning strategies. Management are also focused on acquiring quality assets in order to enhance existing stable and secure income streams.

The Responsible Entity confirms distributable earnings guidance for the year ending 30 June 2020 is expected to be in the range of 19.6 - 19.9 cpu. The distribution guidance for the year ending 30 June 2020 is 18.7 cpu which will be paid in equal quarterly instalments.

The Trust issued 76.2 million units in the September and December quarters to assist with the acquisition of new properties. These units were entitled to a distribution for the full quarter, however as the properties acquired were not owned for the entire period, the income received from these properties was less than the distribution paid for these periods. Accordingly, this has resulted in total distributions for the period being higher than the funds from operations.

Distribution reinvestment plan

Distribution Reinvestment Plan (‘DRP’) remains activated during the half year. Unitholders may elect to have all or part of their distribution entitlement reinvested by the issue of new units rather than being paid cash.

Events subsequent to balance date

On 16 January 2020, the Trust settled on the acquisition of 24 West Link Place, Richlands, QLD for $8.0 million.

There are no other matters or circumstances which have arisen since the end of the period and the date of this report, in the opinion of the Responsible Entity, which significantly affect the operations of the Trust, the results of those operations, or the state of affairs of the Trust, in future financial years.

Auditor's independence declaration

The auditor’s independence declaration required under Section 307C of the Corporations Act 2001 is set out on page 5 and forms part of the Directors' report for the half year ended 31 December 2019.

Rounding of amounts

Centuria Industrial REIT 10 31 December 2019

Condensed notes to the interim financial report

For the half year ended 31 December 2019

A About the report

A1 General information

Centuria Industrial REIT is a registered managed investment scheme under the Corporations Act 2001 and is domiciled in Australia. The principal activity of the Trust is disclosed in the Directors' report.

Statement of compliance

The interim financial report is a general purpose financial report which has been prepared in accordance with AASB 134: Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Act 2001.

The interim financial report does not include all of the information required for the annual financial report, and should be read in conjunction with the annual financial report of the Trust for the year ended 30 June 2019.

For the purposes of preparing the financial report, the Trust is a for-profit entity.

The interim financial report was authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the board of directors of Centuria Property Funds No. 2 Limited, the Responsible Entity, on 5 February 2020.

Basis of preparation

The interim financial report has been prepared on the basis of historical cost, except for investment properties and financial instruments that are measured at fair value. Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for assets.

Going concern

The interim financial report has been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business.

The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the interim financial report are consistent with those of the previous financial year and corresponding interim reporting period.

Rounding of amounts

The Trust is a scheme of the kind referred to in ASIC Legislative Instrument 2016/191, related to the 'rounding off' of amounts in the Directors' report and the interim financial statements. Amounts in the Directors' report and the interim financial statements have been rounded off, in accordance with the instrument to the nearest thousand dollars, unless otherwise indicated.

Functional and presentation currency

The interim financial report is presented in Australian dollars, which is the Trust’s functional currency.

Additional information

The registered office and principal place of business of the Trust and the Responsible Entity are as follows:

Registered office: Principal place of business: Level 41, Chifley Tower, 2 Chifley Square Level 41, Chifley Tower, 2 Chifley Square SYDNEY NSW 2000 SYDNEY NSW 2000

A2 Significant accounting policies

The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the interim financial report are consistent with those of the previous financial year and corresponding interim period with the exception of the adoption of AASB 16 Leases .

AASB 16 Leases

The Trust has adopted AASB 16 at 1 July 2019. AASB 16 sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases.

Centuria Industrial REIT 11 31 December 2019

About the report

A2 Significant accounting policies (continued)

AASB 16 Leases (continued)

(a) Nature of change

AASB 16 was issued in February 2016. It has resulted in leases being recognised on the balance sheet, as the distinction between operating and finance leases is removed. Under the new standard, an asset (the right to use the leased item) and a financial liability to pay rentals are recognised. The only exceptions are short-term and low-value leases.

The accounting for lessors has no significant change.

(b) Impact

The standard affects primarily the accounting for the Trust’s operating leases. As at the reporting date, two of the Trust's investment properties have non-cancellable operating lease commitments (refer to Note C2). However these have no material impact to the Trust’s financial position, profit and classification of cash flows.

(c) Transition

Changes in the accounting policies resulting from the adoption of AASB 16 has been applied retrospectively.

There is no material impact on the financial position previously reported as at 30 June 2019 and 31 December 2018 as a result of the adoption of AASB 16 and its retrospective application.

A3 Segment reporting

The Trust operates in one segment, being investments in Australian industrial property. The Trust has determined its one operating segment based on the internal information that is provided to the chief operating decision maker and which is used in making strategic decisions. The Responsible Entity has been identified as the Trust’s chief operating decision maker.

D Other notes

D1 Fair value of financial instruments

The directors of the Responsible Entity consider that the carrying amount of the financial assets and financial liabilities approximate their fair value in the financial statements. All financial instruments are measured at amortised cost with the exception of the derivative financial instruments. Derivative financial instruments are measured at fair value and have a level 2 designation in the fair value hierarchy. There were no transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy during the period.

Independent valuations are obtained from third parties to support the fair value measurement of financial instruments at each reporting date to meet the requirements of International Financial Reporting Standards.

Valuation techniques

The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities are determined as follows:

  • The fair value of interest rate swaps are determined using a discounted cash flow analysis. The future cash flows are estimated based on forward interest rates (from observable yield curves at the end of the reporting period) and contracted interest rates, discounted at a rate that reflects the credit risk of various counterparties.

The Trust classifies fair value measurements using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the subjectivity of the inputs used in making the measurements. The fair value hierarchy has the following levels:

  • Level 1: derived from quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Trust can access at the measurement date.

  • Level 2: 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: derived from valuation techniques that include inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement is categorised in its entirety is determined on the basis of the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. For this purpose, the significance of an input is assessed against the fair value measurement in its entirety. If a fair value measurement uses observable inputs that require significant adjustment based on unobservable inputs, that measurement is a level 3 measurement. Assessing the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgement, considering factors specific to the asset or liability.

The determination of what constitutes ‘observable’ requires significant judgement by the Responsible Entity. The Responsible Entity considers observable data to be that market data that is readily available, regularly distributed or updated, reliable and verifiable, not proprietary, and provided by independent sources that are actively involved in the relevant market.

D2 Related parties

Key management personnel

The Trust does not employ personnel in its own right. However it is required to have an incorporated Responsible Entity to manage the activities of the Trust which has been identified as key management personnel.

No compensation is paid directly by the Trust to any key management personnel of the Responsible Entity.

Key management personnel loan disclosures

The Trust has not made, guaranteed or secured, directly or indirectly, any loans to key management personnel or their personally related entities at any time during the reporting period.

Responsible entity fees and other transactions

The Responsible Entity is entitled to a management fee which is calculated at 0.65% of the gross value of assets held plus GST, in accordance with the Trust's constitution. The Responsible Entity has elected to charge 0.60% per annum.

Custodian fees are paid to the custodian. Custody fees paid to Centuria Property Funds No. 2 Limited are calculated in relation to some of the Trust's assets and in accordance with the constitution at a rate of 0.05% of the Trust’s gross assets.

Under the previous property management agreement, related party and external agent property management fees were billed and paid directly by the Trust. The revised agreement provides that Centuria Property Services Pty Limited ('CPS') as the manager, will pay all external agent property management fees on behalf of the Trust, and will recover these costs from the Trust as part of their billing process. As a result of this change, property management fees are higher compared to the prior period given it includes both external agent and related party property management fees.

All transactions with related parties are conducted on arms-length commercial terms and conditions. From time to time Centuria Property Funds No. 2 Limited, its directors or its director-related entities may buy or sell units in the Trust. These transactions are on the same terms and conditions as those entered into by other Trust investors.

Independent Auditor’s Review Report

To the unitholders of Centuria Industrial REIT

Conclusion

We have reviewed the accompanying Interim Financial Report of Centuria Industrial REIT (the group). Based on our review, which is not an audit, we have not become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the Interim Financial Report of Centuria Industrial REIT (the group) is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 , including:

  • [giving a true and fair view][of the ] Group’s financial position as at 31 December 2019 and of its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and

  • [complying with ] [Australian Accounting ] Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 .

The Interim Financial Report comprises:

  • [Consolidated interim statement of financial position ] as at 31 December 2019

  • Consolidated interim statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, Consolidated interim statement of changes in equity and Consolidated interim statement of cash flows for the half-year ended on that date

  • Notes A1 to D4 comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information

  • [The Directors’ Declaration. ]

The Group comprises Centuria Industrial REIT and the entities it controlled at the half-year’s end or from time to time during the half-year.

The Interim Period is the 6 months ended on 31 December 2019.

Responsibilities of the Directors for the Interim Financial Report

The Directors of the Centuria Property Funds No.2 Limited (the Responsible Entity) are responsible for:

  • the preparation of the Interim Financial Report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001

  • such internal control as the Directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the Interim Financial Report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s responsibility for the review of the Interim Financial Report

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the Interim Financial Report based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with Auditing Standard on Review Engagements ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity , in order to state whether, on the basis of the procedures described, we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the Interim Financial Report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including: giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 31 December 2019 and its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and complying with Australian Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 . As auditor of Centuria Industrial REIT, ASRE 2410 requires that we comply with the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the annual financial report.

A review of a half-year Financial Report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

In conducting our review, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 .
