Future growth drivers

==> picture [116 x 52] intentionally omitted <==

Cromwell is set to benefit significantly from a number of organic growth factors

  • Growth in earnings from average fixed rental growth of 4.1% for FY13

  • Growth in earnings from increased activity in funds management business

  • Property yield premium to bond / cash yields at historical highs

  • Strong appetite for yield and low volatility amongst retail investors

  • Most recent offer closed oversubscribed three months ahead of schedule

  • Currently sourcing product for next syndicate launch

  • Earnings upside potential from lower base interest rates

  • Current average cost of debt of 6.75% based on existing hedged rates vs. cost of new debt of 5.25%

  • Majority of hedges expire over the next 3 years, leading to potential lowering of interest costs

  • In addition to these organic factors, growth potential through accretive opportunistic acquisitions

  • Capital available through continued recycling of non-core assets

  • Disciplined approach, maintaining defensive characteristics and portfolio quality

  • Qantas Global HQ in Sydney, Exhibition Street in Melbourne and Bundall Corporate Centre in Queensland are examples of the type of opportunity Cromwell is seeking

Property yields and bonds

==> picture [116 x 52] intentionally omitted <==

Yield is in demand – and property yield premiums to bond rates are at historic highs

  • Australian 10 year bonds are currently at historic lows despite the relatively strong underlying economy � Australian interest rates are also at all time lows

  • Compression in valuation cap rates likely moving forward, providing potential upside to NTA and gearing

==> picture [116 x 52] intentionally omitted <==

  • Maintain disciplined and proactive approach to capital management, both equity and debt capital

  • Secured debt platform across a syndicated facility and 6 bilateral facilities
