FY16 Outlook and Earnings Guidance

==> picture [212 x 62] intentionally omitted <==

Outlook and Guidance

Given volatility across global equity markets, the stable return characteristics of direct property have become increasingly compelling. Because of this, we expect quality assets to continue to be highly sought during 2016.

We expect Charter Hall's co-investment strategy will continue to generate strong results for investors and stakeholders.

Charter Hall continues to focus on portfolio security by investing in assets with strong tenant covenants and lease durations, delivering sustainable income and capital growth prospects.

==> picture [248 x 160] intentionally omitted <==

----- End of picture text -----

Our guidance is as follows:

Absent unexpected events, Charter Hall’s guidance for FY16 operating earnings per security is upgraded to 8-10% growth over FY15.

The distribution payout ratio is expected to be between 85% and 95% of operating earnings per security.
