CEO’s ADDRESS GOODMAN GROUP – ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING 22 NOVEMBER 2013 AT 10:00AM THE WESTIN, SYDNEY
Thank you Ian and good morning ladies and gentlemen.
Goodman’s strong operating result for FY2013 of $544 million reflects the quality of our investment and development activities.
We are building a leading brand, with significant size and scale and an operating platform spanning Australia and New Zealand, Asia, Europe, North and South America. Our total assets under management have continued to grow strongly since 30 June to over $24 billion currently, making Goodman one of the world’s largest industrial property groups.
Our global business is a key strength and gives us the benefit of exposure to different economic cycles across different geographies.
- 1 -
The growth of our business has now seen almost half of the Group’s earnings come from our offshore operations. In turn, we expect to see the benefits of our global business increase
significantly in future years, particularly as we continue to build our capabilities in Asia and the Americas.
Goodman has a distinct competitive advantage given our size and scale, development capability, global infrastructure and proven access to investment partners.
To highlight this, Goodman has commenced the new financial year with strong operating momentum and underlying operating activity across all parts of our business. This gives us the confidence to confirm our full year 2014 operating profit forecast of $594 million, with distribution forecast to increase by 7%.
Goodman’s total assets under management have increased by over $1 billion since financial year end and currently exceed $24 billion, driven largely by development completions. We expect our assets under management to continue growing strongly over the coming years.
- 2 -
We continue to work hard to build on our extensive global investor partnerships and Goodman now has $6 billion of undrawn equity and debt commitments available to fund the future growth of its development and investment activities. We have had a very successful first quarter, raising $1.8 billion of new equity commitments from our investment partners.
Goodman leased $270 million worth of property in 2013 and we have completed a further $75 million of leasing activity in the year to date, with strong contributions from Australia, Asia and Europe.
Development activity remains strong. Our development work book has grown from $2.3 billion at 30 June to $2.5 billion currently, with 69 projects underway across all of our operating markets. The undersupply of prime logistics space and a number of structural changes taking place globally, including the rapid growth in e- commerce, remain key drivers of our development business.
- 3 -
Now I would like to highlight some of the operational activity and initiatives we are undertaking around the world;
- In Australia, we currently have over $700 million of
developments underway. This includes the development of the Redbank Motorway Estate in Brisbane, which has commenced with a $56 million pre-committed distribution facility for DB Schenker.
We are also progressing our urban renewal strategy, which is the rezoning of industrial sites to residential, with contracts being exchanged for the sale of a property in Sydney’s North for $73 million. This follows the sale of a $100 million site in South Sydney earlier this year.
Notably, the increase in urban renewal projects will reduce available logistics space, resulting in higher density proposals on remaining sites within urban renewal precincts. Illustrating this, we currently have a two-storey industrial facility in planning at Gardiners Road, South Sydney, with an estimated end value of around $100 million – the first of its type in Australia.
- 4 -
In New Zealand, Goodman has over $190 million of development projects underway for customers including, DHL, Bridgestone and the world’s largest dairy exporter, Fonterra.
- Goodman’s China business continues to grow strongly.
Our development book has increased to over $380 million, with projects in a number of key cities, and we recently announced a new $25 million building for BMW at the Goodman Citylink development near Beijing.
Goodman has a further $370 million of new projects in planning, with a land bank capable of delivering a development pipeline of approximately $2 billion.
- In Japan we see considerable opportunity, with a development pipeline of more than $1 billion. We have commenced
construction of a $100 million facility in Nagoya, and will shortly commence two further projects at Tokyo Bay for a combined value of $300 million.
- 5 -
Our Goodman Sakai development at Osaka Bay will complete in early 2014. The facility is now 100% pre-leased, with Nippon Express the major customer, and has an end value of $295 million.
- In Europe, Goodman European Logistics Fund recently completed an $800 million equity raising, on the back of strong investor demand. This successful result reflects Goodman’s ability to finance and attract capital for our investment and development activities.
We have also expanded our relationship with Malaysia’s Employees Provident Fund into Europe, with a new $725 million partnership.
- 6 -
We are maintaining solid activity levels in Europe, with customer demand, particularly from the e-commerce, third party logistics and automotive sectors. Highlighting this, we currently have a total of over $400 million of development work in progress. This includes the construction of a $100 million facility for Amazon in Poland, while in the UK, we are seeing increased activity in line with the improving economic conditions, and have commenced two new projects for a combined $158 million, on behalf of Kuehne + Nagel and leading French express parcel business, Geopost.
To further illustrate some of our achievements in the year, I’d now like to play a short video, which I’m sure you will find interesting.
- 7 -
Let me now talk about the year ahead.
The Group is uniquely positioned as one of the largest global industrial property managers and developers, with over $24 billion in assets under management.
Goodman has made a strong start to 2014 with sound property fundamentals and operating momentum across all of our markets globally, which has seen our development book grow to $2.5 billion.
We will continue to leverage our strong competitive advantage, which comes from our global infrastructure, extensive customer relationships and ability to attract global capital partners, combined with our sector expertise. It also reflects the quality of our team and I would like to thank our people for their commitment and hard work during the year.
Goodman is well positioned to execute on our business strategy and drive earnings over the remainder of 2014. We see continued strong growth in our managed fund activities, together with high quality development and investment opportunities.
- 8 -
Accordingly, we reaffirm our FY2014 earnings guidance for a full year operating profit of $594 million, equating to operating earnings per security of 34.3 cents, up 6% and a forecast distribution of 20.7 cents, up 7%.
Thank you.
