A BUSINESS FOR THE FUTURE
AG M A N D O P E R AT I O N A L U P DAT E
t Goodman’s AGM held on 25 November, we provided an overview of the Group’s full year results and key achievements for the 2015 financial year, together with the outlook for the year ahead. The addresses made by the Chairman, Ian Ferrier and Group CEO, Greg Goodman, also outlined our strategic positioning, which highlighted the expansion and strengthening of Goodman’s business globally, while avoiding short-term expediency and focusing A on the sustainable and prudent management of the Group and its operations for the long term. This focus on building the sustainable future of our business is a core theme of Goodman’s strategy, with the investment decisions we are making today driving our growth for the future and creating long-term value for all of our stakeholders.
In this context, Securityholders were updated on the strong start that Goodman has made to the current financial year. The sustained momentum experienced across our global development and management activities has been a key driver of our robust operating performance in the first quarter. This in turn reflects the quality of our platform, properties and customer and capital partnerships around the world.
Our strategy in this part of the cycle remains focused on improving the quality of our properties and income, by taking advantage of strong asset pricing to sell assets and reinvest in the strength of our development business. Our focus is not on being the biggest, but the best at what we do around the world, by striving to own the best assets in the best locations. During the quarter, Goodman completed a further $600 million of asset sales, excluding urban renewal sites, which is providing funding for our growing and diversified development activities.

Goodman’s expertise and infrastructure to develop its own high quality assets is adding significant value for the Group and our investment partners. Strong activity levels saw over $900 million of new developments commence during the quarter, with customer demand for modern, efficient and well-located logistics properties driving the increase in our development work book to $3.4 billion across 78 projects. We are also benefitting from ongoing structural changes, including the increasing globalisation of online shopping and need for greater speed and efficiency in global consumer markets. Please refer to pages 8 and 9 of this newsletter for information on some of the developments we are undertaking around the world.
We finished the quarter with $32.3 billion of assets under management, an increase of $2 billion from 30 June 2015. This was mainly the result of our development completions, positive asset revaluations and currency movements. Our Property Services teams around the world successfully leased over 700,000 sqm of space, representing $83 million in net property income and a weighted average lease expiry of 3.8 years. The robust leasing result reflects strong contributions mainly from Australia, Greater China and Continental Europe, which has ensured that occupancy was maintained at 96% across Goodman’s portfolio of 418 properties.
Goodman is making good progress on its urban renewal activities, achieving positive planning outcomes on a number of its sites in the first quarter. Importantly, we continue to benefit from the strength of demand for re-zoned residential sites and the ongoing opportunities provided by the evolution of urban renewal precincts and identification of new sites across our portfolio. We are working through our current urban renewal pipeline, which has been maintained at approximately 35,000 apartments. This is in addition to urban renewal sites for 10,000 apartments (valued at $1.8 billion) that have already settled or are conditionally contracted. With more settlements to occur over the next three years, this is providing a substantial long-term source of capital for Goodman.

We are excited by the growth outlook and momentum across our US platform. Particularly pleasing are the development sites we have secured in prime locations, together with the world class real estate we are currently developing.

R E G I O N A L A C T I V I T I E S
n early November, Goodman hosted a property tour for investors of its assets and development projects in the Inland Empire market of Southern California. Together with Greater Los Angeles, Northern New Jersey and Central Pennsylvania, these core logistics and industrial markets remain the focus of I our US platform.
Since entering the US industrial property market in June 2012, Goodman has executed a develop to hold strategy, reflecting the operating environment at this point in the property cycle. Our current development and investment pipeline stands at US$1.7 billion (approx. $2.5 billion), which is capable of providing 1.4 million sqm of prime logistics space. Significantly, we are making considerable progress on the roll-out of our pipeline and forecasting strong growth. This puts Goodman on track to achieve US$3 billion (approx. $4.3 billion) of assets under management in the short to medium term.
Group CEO, Greg Goodman commented that: “We are excited by the growth outlook and momentum across our US platform. Particularly pleasing are the development sites we have secured in prime locations, together with the world class real estate we are currently developing.”
Goodman’s US achievements include the completed development of around 200,000 sqm of new logistics space in the Inland Empire West market in Southern California. A particular highlight was the leasing of the entire 1.6 million sq ft (approx. 149,000 sqm) Goodman Logistics Center Rancho Cucamonga to Georgia-Pacific, which is one of the largest leases signed on an industrial development in Southern California in the past 10 years. We also currently have three active projects in the Inland Empire West and Greater Los Angeles markets for a combined 150,000 sqm.
