Security based benefits expense

==> picture [198 x 55] intentionally omitted <==

Change in reporting treatment effective FY14

  • Security based benefit expense has been treated as non-operating item in prior years and FY13

  • From FY14, security based benefits expense will be included in operating earnings

  • • No cash impact

  • Payout ratio will be increased to maintain distribution profile

  • • Will apply from FY14 – A proforma FY13 operating earnings including the security based benefits expense would be 22.9cps

  • – FY13 distribution remains unchanged but payout ratio increases to 88%

Solid earnings growth expected in FY14

FY14 earnings guidance

Barring unexpected events, we forecast:

  • FY14 operating earnings growth of approximately 7%[1 ]

  • The distribution payout ratio is expected to be between 85% and 95% of operating earnings per security[2 ]

==> picture [104 x 120] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [87 x 120] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [96 x 120] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [166 x 121] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [125 x 121] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [165 x 121] intentionally omitted <==

  1. This growth guidance will apply to both the existing operating earnings measure and amended operating earnings (including security based benefit expense)

  2. Payout ratio has increased from 80-90% in FY13, due to a change in accounting for security based benefit expense effective FY14 (refer slide 28). Expected FY14 operating cash flow and distributions are not impacted by this non-cash item.
