DEXUS Property Group 2009 Half Year Results

Announcing DEXUS Property Group’s 2009 half year results, CEO Victor Hoog Antink said: “Despite difficult operating conditions in 2009, our half year results reflect the resilience and inherent value of our quality property portfolio. Operating EBIT, over 98% of which is derived from net property rental income, was down just 1.1% on the previous comparable period, and portfolio fundamentals remained stable. This can be attributed to built-in rental growth in our Australian portfolios which offset the impact of weaker operating conditions in North America.”

Key financial results:

  • Operating EBIT down 1.1% to $240.5m

  • Net loss after tax and revaluations to security holders : $107.0m

  • Funds from operations down 4% to $181.1m

  • Gearing stable at 31.9%

  • FFO per security 3.8 cents

  • Distribution per security 2.65 cents

  • FY 2010 earnings guidance maintained at 7.3 cents

During the half we made significant progress on a number of our key objectives designed to further enhance the high quality of our portfolio and our balance sheet and drive performance through a focus on asset and property management. These initiatives included:

  • Internalising our industrial property management platform

  • Commencing two industrial pre-committed developments at Greystanes: $53m

  • Acquiring prime industrial property in preferred Sydney market: $46m

  • Completing rezoning at our Laverton industrial site in Victoria

  • Selling smaller non-core office and industrial assets: $108m

  • Developing our two 6 Star office projects

  • Selling our remaining retail property: $256m

  • Completing the Whirlpool US industrial acquisition program: US$202m

  • Selling assets in non core US markets: US$206m and

  • Commencing the US repositioning strategy

All this activity has been underpinned by the strength of our financial position. DEXUS continues to maintain a strong balance sheet with the diversification and duration of our funding sources having been further improved. In July 2009, DEXUS was one of the first Australian companies to issue Medium Term Notes since the market closed in late 2007. In September 2009, DEXUS became only the second A-REIT to issue into the US public bond market, securing a new source of funding in one of the deepest and most liquid bond markets in the world.

ASX release
----- End of picture text -----

While the capital raisings last year have proven to be the appropriate response to the financial markets crisis by ensuring our business remains financially sound and well positioned for the future, it has come at the cost of lower per unit earnings. This is reflected in our FFO per unit of 3.8 cents per security for the half year.

Gearing remains stable at 31.9%, well within our target of below 40%. Additionally, all our financial metrics are well within covenant limits and we continue to maintain DEXUS’s Standard & Poor’s credit rating of BBB+ and we received a Moody’s Baa1 (Stable outlook) rating earlier in the period.

Revaluations

Revaluations were undertaken on all properties which resulted in a 4% reduction in the Group’s overall portfolio value. This was principally due to a 10% reduction in the value of our North American portfolio and, in accordance with new accounting standards, fair valuing developments during construction caused a reduction in value on projects. Since the peak in December 2007, average cap rates have now expanded by 170 basis points. Our view is that we are now at the end of the domestic devaluation cycle, nearing the bottom of the cycle in the US and that the write downs in relation to development projects should effectively be regained as the projects reach completion.

Key operational results

  • Like for like income growth (Overall down 0.3%)

  • Australia up 2.4% (2008: 3.2%)

  • North America down 10.8% (2008: down 2.2%)

  • Occupancy (by area)

  • Australia 97.2% (2008: 97.3%)

  • North America 87.8% (2008: 90.8%)

  • Lease duration (by income)

  • Australia 5.2 years (2008: 5.2 years)

  • North America 4.7 years (2008: 4.3 years)

Office sector - Australia and New Zealand:

  • Portfolio value $4.0bn (2008: $4.5bn)

  • Like for like income growth 2.7% (2008: 3.1%)

  • Occupancy (by area) 95.8% (2008: 98.0%)

  • Lease duration (by income) 5.4 years (2008: 5.5 years)

DEXUS’s high quality office portfolio continued to perform well in all key operating metrics and net property income increased 2.4% over the year to $121.9m.

The strong appeal of our quality office portfolio combined with a focus on leasing resulted in occupancy of 95.8%, which is significantly above the national market average of 92%. New leases and renewals were negotiated over 40,226 square metres or 8% of the portfolio, delivering an average rental increase of 9.2%. Average tenant incentives increased to 23.6% in line with market, however we believe incentives have over run and will level off and decline as demand returns and vacancy falls later in 2010 and into 2011.

Tenant retention rates declined to 61%, reflecting weaker tenant demand and, as foreshadowed last year end, three major tenants relocating. We expect like for like growth to be flat for the full year with renewed growth in 2011.

Construction of 123 Albert Street, Brisbane and 1 Bligh Street, Sydney are both on track and on budget and due for completion in December 2010 and May 2011 respectively. As tenant demand returns, strong interest in both developments is converting to leasing success. Of the 8 floors remaining at 123 Albert Street, we have signed Heads of Agreement on one additional floor – taking the area leased to 72% - and are negotiating in respect of 3 additional floors.

Both buildings are designed to deliver world’s best practice sustainability features and provide the highest levels of tenant amenity and workspace quality. During the period 123 Albert Street achieved a 6 Star Green Star certification and 1 Bligh Street is currently in the final stages of its Green Star Rating certification.

Industrial sector - Australia

  • Portfolio value $1.5bn (2008: $1.6bn)

  • Like for like income growth 1.9% (2008: 3.4%)

  • Occupancy (by area) 97.7% (2008: 96.8%)

  • Lease duration (by income) 4.7 years (2008: 4.5 years)

The Australian industrial portfolio performed well during the period, driven by our team’s efforts in leasing, portfolio and asset management. Underlying portfolio NPI on a like for like basis increased by 1.9%, while NPI of $52.7m was down by 1.3% due to property sales in the period.

108,000 square metres or 10% of the portfolio by area was negotiated in respect of new leases, renewals and Heads of Agreement. The average tenant incentive was slightly higher at 6%, while occupancy increased to 97.7% and tenant retention is still strong at 76% (2008: 78.8%).

Consistent with our objective of repositioning our industrial portfolio to enhance quality, we completed approximately $62m (since May 2009) of smaller, non-core property sales on a passing yield of 7.6% and acquired a major property in Sydney’s expanding Port Botany area for $46m on a yield of 9.3%. In addition, we commenced the construction of two pre-committed developments at our industrial estate in Greystanes in Western Sydney. These projects will have a total cost of approximately $53m and are forecast to yield 8.8% on completion.

Industrial sector – North America

  • Portfolio value US$1.2bn (2008: US$1.5bn)

  • Like for like income down 10.8% (2008: down 2.2%)

  • Occupancy (by area) 87.8% (2008: 90.8%)

  • Lease duration (by income) 4.7 years (2008: 4.3 years)

The North American portfolio is valued at US$1.2bn and contributed US$46.9m (2008: US$50.2m) of NPI, representing 22% of the Group’s NPI. Despite leasing 214,000 square metres during the half, tenant retention declined 10% to 60%. Consequently, overall occupancy is down 3% to 87.8% by area and NPI was down 10.8% on a US dollar like for like basis.

In the six months to 31 December 2009, three Whirlpool properties were acquired, thus completing the Whirlpool investment program, enhancing the quality of the portfolio and as a result increasing the average lease duration to 4.7 years (2008: 4.3 years).

As part of the property sales program 22 properties were sold for US$206m, thus reducing our North American footprint from 21 to 17 markets.

Despite the challenging market conditions, business confidence is improving and our focus in the US is managing our portfolio to maximise results, and is establishing an office on the West Coast to better direct our repositioning strategy of concentrating our US investment in our core West Coast markets.

Non-core property portfolios

The European industrial portfolio is valued at €133m, contributing €6.0m or 4% of the Group’s NPI with occupancy at 87.8%. The European properties will be sold when liquidity returns to these markets.

In December 2009, we sold our last retail property, a 50% interest in Whitford City Shopping Centre, for $256.5m with settlement to occur in March 2010.

Sustainability

DEXUS continued to drive sustainable performance in the period with a continued focus on resource efficiency projects, community engagement and sustainable developments. DEXUS was named again in 2010 as one of the world’s 100 most sustainable corporations in the 2010 “Global 100” list, announced at the Davos World Economic Forum, the only A-REIT to achieve listing for two years running.

Resource consumption reductions were achieved in all portfolios and we have progressed NABERS energy rating across our office portfolio to an average of 3.2 stars. We are committed to improving these ratings to an average of 4.5 Stars by 2012.

Employee engagement

CEO Victor Hoog Antink said: “Getting the best from both our properties and our balance sheet is only possible with a very capable and engaged team and I am pleased to report that this year’s annual employee survey saw DEXUS outperform the Australian Norm in the Top 19 of 20 categories - this is particularly pleasing in such a challenging year.”

Outlook

CEO Victor Hoog Antink said: “Looking forward our key focus will be on continuing to enhance the high quality and performance of our property portfolios and build on our leadership positions in Australian office and industrial. In Australia, while we are seeing signs of increased activity, we don’t expect to see growth coming through until FY11, due to the lag effect of leasing activity converting to income. We will continue to drive enhanced value through our development pipeline, with further pre-lease activity anticipated in our industrial land banks. For our premium office developments at 123 Albert Street and 1 Bligh Street, we are targeting to be 90% leased at practical completion.

In the US, we expect results in the second half of the year to be consistent with those in the first six months, with stabilisation and potential growth in the 2011 year. Our focus remains on building our US management capability, managing our portfolio to maximise results and repositioning our North American portfolio over time towards our core west coast markets.”

Guidance

Barring adverse changes to operating conditions, we confirm that the Group is positioned to deliver earnings (FFO) of 7.3 cents per security and distributions of 5.1 cents per security (70% of FFO) in the year ending 30 June 2010.

GLOSSARY

  • Constant currency : Items shown at Constant currency for Dec 09 have been restated using the Dec 08 average FX rates for comparative purposes.

  • Distribution adjustments : Includes all distribution adjustments except for revaluations and impairments, unrealised MTM of derivatives, loss on sale and deferred tax.

  • Distribution payout policy : Distribution paid will be 70% of funds from operations (FFO) subject to total taxable income being less than 70% of FFO.

  • Gearing : Gearing is represented by Interest Bearing Liabilities (excluding deferred borrowing costs) less cash divided by Total Tangible Assets (excluding derivatives and deferred tax assets) less cash. Covenant gearing is the same definition but not adjusted for cash.

  • Management EBIT : Comprises Responsible Entity fee revenue, third party fee revenue and corporate expenses including all staff costs for the DEXUS group. Following internalisation in Feb 08, Responsible Entity fee revenue and the corresponding fee paid are eliminated in the statutory financial statements.

  • Non-cash items : Includes property revaluations, impairment of intangibles, derivative MTM, loss on sale and deferred tax benefit.

  • Operating EBIT : Comprises net property income, Management EBIT and other income less Responsible Entity fees and other expenses paid.

  • Portfolio value : Unless otherwise stated, Portfolio value is represented by investment properties, development properties and investments accounted for using the equity method, and excludes cash and other assets.

  • Responsible Entity fees : In this presentation Responsible Entity fees are shown at cost following internalisation in Feb 08. This Responsible Entity fee expense and the corresponding management fee revenue are eliminated in the statutory financial statements as the management company is a wholly owned consolidated entity.

  • Securities on issue : FFO per security is based on the average weighted units on issue prior to the Theoretical Ex-Rights Price (TERP) adjustment. In accordance with AASB133 the weighted average number of securities for earnings (EPS) purposes is adjusted by a factor equal to the security price immediately prior to issue divided by the TERP.
