DEXUS Property Group 2009 Annual Results

Key financial results:

  • Earnings from operating activities up 5.7% to $526.3 m

  • Net loss attributable to security holders $1.46 bn, driven by non-cash items

  • FFO per security 10.43 cents

  • Distribution per security 7.3 cents

  • Gearing reduced to 31.2%

Announcing DEXUS Property Group’s 2009 Annual results, CEO Victor Hoog Antink said: “In challenging market conditions, the active management focus of our experienced team continues to deliver good results, with operating earnings up 5.7% to $526.3 million. This result reflects the underlying quality of our Australian office and industrial portfolios, which delivered solid like for like growth of 4.5% and 4.1% respectively.

The economic downturn has resulted in a slight decline in occupancy and retention rates, while lease duration remained steady overall. Despite weaker tenant demand we have achieved solid leasing activity, a reflection of our proactive management approach and strong relationships with our tenants.”

Adverse market conditions were reflected in a softening of capitalisation rates and weaker underlying property fundamentals, causing a decline in property valuations world-wide. DEXUS revalued the entire property portfolio at 30 June 2009, resulting in devaluations totalling $1.6 billion. The property devaluations, together with unrealised mark to market derivative losses of $244 million and a $130 million deferred tax benefit primarily arising from US property devaluations, contributed to a net loss attributable to security holders of $1.46 billion. As at 30 June total assets stood at $8.4 billion of which 92%, or $7.7 billion, are investment properties.

Key operational results

  • Overall like for like income growth 1.7% (2008: 4.5%)

  • Australia: up 4.4% (2008: 3.8%)

  • International: down 4.9% (2008: 7.2%)

  • Occupancy (by area) 91.5% (2008: 93.8%)

  • Australia 97.2% (2008: 98.3%)

  • International 88.0% (2008: 90.9%)

  • Lease duration (by income) 4.8 years (2008: 4.8 years)

  • Australia 5.1 years (2008: 5.3 years)

  • International 4.2 years (2008: 3.9 years)

Office sector highlights:

  • Portfolio value $4 billion (2008: $4.6 bn)

  • Like for like income growth 4.5% (2008: 4.4%)

  • Occupancy (by area) 97.6% (2008: 97.7%)

  • Lease duration (by income) 5.4 years (2008: 5.7 years)

DEXUS’s high-quality office portfolio continued to perform well in all key operating metrics driven by our experienced team. Our proactive leasing and property management approach resulted in high occupancy and high retention rates of 75%, a testament to the quality of our tenant relationships and focus on de-risking income in our portfolio.

Office net property income (NPI) increased by 1.7% over the year to $246.8 million, representing 47% of the Group’s NPI. New leases and renewals were negotiated over 36,500 square metres of existing office space, which represents 6.6% of the portfolio, delivering an average rental increase of 6.6% and average tenant incentives of 12.6%.

During the period, substantial progress was made with the construction and leasing of our three office developments. The office redevelopment at 60 Miller Street, North Sydney was completed and fully leased prior to practical completion in March 2009.

Construction of 123 Albert Street, Brisbane and 1 Bligh Street, Sydney are on budget and on schedule for completion in December 2010 and May 2011 respectively. Having secured major tenant precommitments at both these developments, we are actively marketing the remaining space in these premium grade office towers, which are designed to deliver world’s best practice sustainability and provide the highest levels of tenant amenity and workspace quality.

Industrial sector highlights - Australia

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

  • Like for like income growth 4.1% (2008: 2.3%)

  • Occupancy (by area) 96.9% (2008: 98.6%)

  • Lease duration (by income) 4.3 years (2008: 4.4 years)

The Australian industrial portfolio continued to perform well during the period, driven by the inherent quality and diversification of the portfolio and a proactive approach to leasing and property management. The diversity of our tenant profile across key sectors of the economy, strong covenants and long tenure continued to deliver solid results.

Valued at $1.5 billion, the industrial portfolio’s NPI increased by 3.3% to $109.2 million, representing 21% of the Group’s NPI. Our active management approach saw new leases, renewals and heads of agreement negotiated on 203,000 square metres or 19% of the portfolio by area.

Despite tougher economic conditions impacting tenant demand in the sector, average rents in the DEXUS portfolio declined marginally by 1%. The average tenant incentive was 3% and tenant retention reduced slightly to 75% (2008: 78%).

Retail sector highlights

  • Portfolio value $270 million (2008: $280m)

  • Like for like income growth 4.5% (2008: 7.4%)

  • Occupancy (by area) 99.9% (2008: 99.2%)

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

Following the sale of the retail portfolio in October 2007, DEXUS retained a 50% interest in Westfield Whitford City in WA, which continues to deliver strong performance in the period. The centre represents 3% of the Group’s NPI and will ultimately be sold, consistent with our strategy to concentrate on office and industrial.

International industrial sector highlights

  • Portfolio value $1.9 billion (2008: $2.2 bn)

  • Like for like income down 4.9% (2008: 7.2%)

  • Occupancy (by area) 88.0% (2008: 90.9%)

  • Lease duration (by income) 4.2 years (2008: 3.9 years)

The international portfolio is valued at $1.9 billion and contributed $155.9 million (2008:131.9m) of NPI, representing 29% of the Group’s NPI. On a constant currency basis the international portfolio’s NPI was down 1.4% to $130 million. The key contributors were a decline in like for like earnings of 4.6% in North America and 6.4% in Europe, offset by additional income from the Whirlpool properties.

2009 was a particularly challenging year for international property markets with operating conditions and investor sentiment deteriorating significantly resulting in sharp declines in property valuations. As a result, our North American portfolio was devalued over the year by 27% and the European portfolio was devalued by 28.3%. North American capitalisation rates expanded by 130 basis points for the year to an average of 8.2% and European cap rates expanded by 170 basis points to 8.1%.

North America

The North American portfolio is valued at $1.7 billion and contributed $132.8 million (2008: $110m) of NPI, representing 25% of the Group’s NOI. Our focus remains on actively managing our portfolio, demonstrated by strong leasing activity during the year with 343,000 square metres leased, representing 15% of the North American portfolio. Declining economic conditions have led to decreasing tenant demand, downsizing and some bankruptcies, which caused tenant retention to decline by 6% to 68%. Overall occupancy is down 4% to 88% while the average lease duration increased to 4.3 years (2008: 3.9 years).

Subsequent to year end a fourth Whirlpool property in Columbus, Ohio was acquired for US$65 million, in accordance with the acquisition program. The final two Whirlpool properties in Atlanta and Seattle are due to be acquired by December 2009.

Europe

The European portfolio is valued at $241 million, contributing $23.1 million or 4% of the Group’s NPI. Following a continued focus on leasing and tenant retention, occupancy and lease durations are at 87.8% and 3.1 years respectively.

Third Party Funds

The Group’s third party funds under management total $5.6 billion. In 2010, it is expected that lower asset values, along with declining development and leasing fees will continue to adversely impact fee income.

Delivering on strategy

During the year, DEXUS continued to implement our strategy to actively manage our properties and balance sheet to extract maximum value and deliver sustainable income.

Commenting on these initiatives, Victor Hoog Antink said: “We have progressed initiatives to implement our internal property management model, building on our leadership positions in the office and industrial sectors. We also continued to apply an active and prudent approach to capital management during the period, further strengthening the balance sheet and improving the diversification and duration of our financing sources to increase the liquidity and financial flexibility of the Group.”

Portfolio strategy initiatives

� Completed the integration of our full service property management model in the Australian office portfolio in May 2009, delivering a fully integrated DEXUS managed asset and property management business model, offering our tenants a market leading full service capability. In our Australian industrial portfolio we are progressing the internalisation of property management, which is due to complete later in the financial year.

� Commenced the $600 million sales program of selected non-core assets in Australia, North America and Europe over the next two years. In Australia, twelve properties have been sold totalling $95 million and one property has been contracted for sale in Germany. We are currently in active negotiations in respect of a number of properties in North America and have commenced marketing our European properties for sale.

� Repositioning the international portfolio to implement our property management model:

North America - the asset sales program will see the progressive reduction of DEXUS’s overall exposure in the US and repositioning of the portfolio to concentrate on four key metropolitan markets on the West Coast. This is consistent with our strategy to achieve scale in key markets and fully implement our property management model.

Europe - as announced in April 2009, all existing European assets are being marketed for sale.

� Maintained our market leadership position in Corporate Responsibility and Sustainability.

DEXUS continued to drive sustainability performance over the period focusing on resource efficiency projects, community engagement and sustainable developments. In January 2009, DEXUS was named one of the world’s 100 most sustainable corporations in the fifth annual “Global 100” list, announced at the Davos World Economic Forum in Switzerland.

Improved financial strength through active capital management

  • Refinanced and secured new debt facilities totalling $860 million

  • Revised our distribution policy to a payout ratio of 70% of FFO, with 30% being retained for operational and leasing capex

  • Completed equity raisings of over $1 billion in December 2008 and April 2009

  • Entered into a joint venture with Cbus to acquire a 33% interest in 1 Bligh Street, which realised $60 million and reduced the Group’s future development exposure by $210 million

These capital management measures have seen DEXUS further reduce gearing to 31.2%, well within our target of below 40%. Additionally, all our financial metrics are well within covenant limits maintaining DEXUS’s Standard & Poor’s credit rating of BBB+.

Outlook

Victor Hoog Antink said, “Our quality portfolio, experienced management team and focused strategy means we are well-positioned to respond to the current market conditions and deliver sustainable returns for our investors.

  • We expect conditions to continue to be challenging in the coming year and our focus will remain on:

  • actively managing our property portfolio to create value and deliver sustainable income

  • driving a high performance culture and delivering service excellence for our customers

  • actively managing our capital structure and balance sheet and continuing to diversify funding sources

Guidance

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

Assumptions relating to blended rates:

The blended rate (inc margin) per currency consists of the weighted average of: a) average hedged amounts at the hedge rates provided above plus our forecast weighted average credit margin, and b) average unhedged amounts (being the difference between total forecast committed debt and the average hedged amount) at the forecast floating rates for each year plus our forecast weighted average credit margin. The forecast floating rates for each year are based on an interpolation from the market interest rate yield curve as at 30 June 2009. Note: some of these factors (particularly forecast floating rates) may not be a reliable indication of the future.

  1. Average amount hedged for the period

  2. Weighted average hedge rate for the period

  3. Average amount hedged for the period is greater than balance hedged as at 30 Jun 09 due to swap reversals during the period

  4. Hedging out to 10 years

Glossary

  • Constant currency : Items shown at Constant currency for FY09 have been restated using the June 08 average FX rates for comparative purposes.

  • Distribution adjustments : Includes all distribution adjustments except for revaluations and impairments, unrealised MTM of derivatives 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 and current tax assets) less cash. Covenant gearing is the same definition but not adjusted for cash. Covenant gearing as at 30 June 2009 was 32.0%.

  • 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 revaluations, impairment of PP&E, deferred tax benefit, derivative MTM and impairment of intangibles

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

  • Portfolio value : Unless otherwise stated, Portfolio value is represented by investment properties, property, plant & equipment 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.
