OVERVIEW 05
We are Goodman
We believe space is an opportunity. That’s why we make it.
Founded more than 30 years ago, Goodman’s purpose is to make space for the greatest ambitions of our stakeholders. We strive to create solutions that will benefit our customers both now, and in the future, and we focus on delivering sustainable returns for our investors.
As global industrial property specialists, we own, develop and manage high-quality properties in strategic locations across 17 countries. However, we’re conscious it’s not just what we do that’s important, but how we do it.
Goodman thinks big picture and plans for the long term. We have the teams, scale, expertise, infrastructure and capital to develop long-term relationships with customers and partners around the world, but we’re still flexible enough to adapt to their local business needs.
That’s why we work closely with all our customers, team members and investment and community partners. As the world evolves, their needs evolve too.
Our own+develop+manage model is built around our customers and their need for sustainable solutions and unparalleled service in high-quality locations.

OVERVIEW 07
We don’t believe in good. Or good enough. We don’t believe in the short term or taking short-cuts. We don’t believe in putting business before people. Or anything before quality. We believe in great. Although we don’t believe we’re quite there yet. We believe in the importance of location and sustained growth and doing it right the first time. We believe in having integrity, always. We believe that knowledge is
everything and perfection is in the details. That it is the little things that add up to make the biggest difference. That’s why there’s a plus in our logo. It’s a reminder to keep going above and beyond for our customers, our partners and our staff. To be the best, we believe, relies on every single one of us working together. To this end, we believe we can be better than good. We believe we can be great.

Our financial highlights include:
-
- Operating profit of $942 million, up 11.4% on FY18
-
- Statutory profit of $1,628 million, up 48% on FY18
-
- Operating earnings per security (EPS) of 51.6 cents, up 10.5% on FY18
-
- Distribution per security (DPS) of 30.0 cents, up 7% on FY18
-
- Maintenance of a strong financial position with balance sheet gearing stable at 9.7%

-
- Total Securityholder return of 59.4% over one year and 223.4% over five years.
A strategy for the future
Goodman’s success, particularly over the past five years, is due to our consistent execution of our long-term global strategy. With this strategy to guide us, we’ve balanced our financial and human resources to leverage opportunities and address ever-changing market conditions.
Our strategy is customer-led. Not only are we driven by the structural changes shaping our industry, we are responsive to the trends that impact our customers’ businesses, such as the expectation for faster deliveries and supply chain improvements. We have shifted both the location and type of properties we develop to accommodate these evolutionary changes occurring in the industrial sector. Our properties are now concentrated in high-demand locations as evidenced by the $3.8 billion increase in property valuations over the year.
Goodman’s international business has continued to grow, with 68% of earnings and most of our team now spread across 16 countries outside Australia. The Group has invested in the US and Greater China with returns now starting to materialise.
In the last three years, we expanded our US presence and grew assets under management from around $1 billion to a portfolio with a built-out value of more than $5 billion. Our strategy has been to monetise the existing land bank while developing strong relationships with customers, capital partners and local stakeholders.
All regions contributed to this year’s strong result. During the year in Asia, our assets under management grew to $16 billion. We achieved higher valuations and a 99% occupancy rate, primarily driven by a focus on quality, scale and intensification opportunities.
In Europe, our determined focus on quality assets and service has produced positive results. Our operations in Australia and New Zealand have also continued to deliver strong results as the structural changes driving our industry begin to be realised, enabling us to maintain our market-leading positions.
Outcomes of this scale take time, foresight and patience. They take the ability to foster capital partner relationships as well as to keep our customers close and adapt to their changing needs, so their businesses thrive long term.
They also require a global team united in working consistently towards the positive, sustainable returns we have once again achieved.
Goodman’s people and culture are fundamental to our success. These results are contingent on our strong local expertise in each of our regions and a leadership team dedicated to transparency, ethics and corporate governance.

Aligning interests
The Group’s collaborative approach to remuneration continued, seeing our long-term returns shared between Securityholders, capital partners and Goodman’s people.
While our commitment to the equitable allocation of rewards remains consistent, the Board this year initiated changes to increase transparency and rigour around our remuneration structure. The framework aims to not only deliver superior returns but to influence long-term decision-making and reinforce the Group’s cultural values and behaviour.
Our remuneration policy further aligns all Goodman people with Securityholders. It adds significant value to the Group, by providing a critical differentiator to generate and reward long-term performance and retain the best people in a highly-competitive global environment.
Board changes
The Goodman Board welcomes Chris Green as an Independent Director of Goodman Limited and Goodman Funds Management Limited and a member of the Audit Committee.
Chris is the Founder and Chief Executive Officer of a US based firm that invests in real estate innovation and technology. Prior to this he spent 16 years at Macquarie Group where he was the Global Head of Macquarie Capital’s real estate business.
I am proud of Goodman’s performance and the commitment of its management and people around the world to implement what has proven to be a very successful customer-focused strategy.
On behalf of the Board, I sincerely thank our customers and investors for their continued support and all of Goodman’s people for their contribution.
Sincerely,

Group CEO’s letter
Connecting customers
Greg Goodman – Group CEO
At Goodman, we’re looking at the structural changes taking place around the world and continuing to build a sustainable business, positioned to capitalise on these changes. Our ambition is to help our customers grow and succeed in this ever-changing environment.
Urbanisation, rising consumerism and an increasing need for convenience are continuing unabated. This is driving our customers to evolve and automate their supply chains to keep up with consumer expectations.
Those expectations are constantly escalating. Whether they are an e-commerce operator, a fresh food grocer or a pharmaceutical company, our customers are
working to meet consumers’ demand for immediacy. If they can’t deliver quickly and conveniently consumers will go elsewhere.
The industrial market has evolved and the nature of developments has changed. At Goodman, we are seeing things such as multi-storey facilities in land-constrained markets and the introduction of automation, data capture and analytics to improve supply chain efficiency.
The most critical factor for our customers is how close their facility is to their customers, allowing more competitive speed to market.
16 GOODMAN GROUP 2019
GOODMAN GROUP 2019GROUP CEO’S LETTER 17
The most critical factor for our customers is how close their facility is to their customers, allowing more competitive speed to market.
Structural changes boosting our performance
Goodman had strong growth in statutory and operating profit for the year to 30 June 2019. The result reflects our work over several years to concentrate our $46 billion portfolio in consumer-focused locations, where structural changes have had a significant positive impact on our results.
All of our businesses performed well during the year, together producing this exceptional result. The property portfolio continued to experience high occupancy levels and rental growth due to the strategic location of our buildings.
Our investment management business enjoyed strong results and our development programme continued to grow in response to the strong performance of our markets. Work in progress around the world grew to $4 billion and is expected to reach around $5 billion in the next 12 months.
Our Partnerships, meanwhile, benefited from development completions and revaluation gains, leading to growth in external assets under management. The Group delivered a total return of 16% across the Partnerships for the year. It was a strong result for our partners and one we are proud of, reflecting the consistent outperformance of our global portfolio in a volatile environment.
Moreover, we achieved these results while maintaining a low gearing level of 9.7% and significant equity commitments and available liquidity of $16.3 billion across the Group and Partnerships.
Sustainability
This year, we did a comprehensive review of our sustainability approach to better balance the needs of all our stakeholders.
Our resulting 2030 Sustainability Strategy is based on the three pillars of property, people and culture and corporate performance. These pillars align with our purpose – making space for greatness. Each contains clear targets we will report on annually, keeping us focused on our momentum to date.

FY20 forecast
Operating profit $1,040 million + up 10.4% on FY19 Operating EPS
56.3 cents + up 9% on FY19 Distribution per security 30 cents
Looking ahead
There is ongoing pressure on land use in the markets in which we operate and the barriers to entry are getting higher. Factors include competing demand from e-commerce, data centre users and urban renewal. Our portfolio’s concentration in urban centres is critical. It will support our customers’ supply chain evolution over the next five to ten years, generate resilient cash flows, and provide opportunities for more valuable uses in the long term.
Our customers’ needs continue to change. Recognising this, we have built specialist infrastructure around the world to meet their demands and have focused, over several years, on incremental site acquisitions in high-barrier-to-entry markets. This has enabled us to redevelop these existing sites at the right time, providing our customers with contemporary facilities in key locations, close to their consumers. While the market for industrial real estate looks strong, we continue to monitor world events. Our business is diverse and structured to withstand market volatility, yet we remain conservative and prudent in managing our capital. We are maintaining our low leverage, deploying our capital efficiently within our Partnerships and delivering on our forecasts to drive sustainable growth over the long term.
Team effort
I am proud of the Goodman team and I thank all of our people for what they are achieving for our stakeholders through their dedication and hard work. Goodman Group is a global collective of people who are aligned with and incentivised by our mutual success over the long term.
This long-term approach drives our decisions, evidenced by the fact we are now seeing the benefits of a strategy implemented five to ten years ago. We have not allowed ourselves to become complacent and remain focused on delivering results for all our stakeholders.
I would like to thank our customers, capital partners and investors, too, for their ongoing support. Together, we are achieving great things.
Sincerely,
Greg Goodman Group Chief Executive Officer

Portfolio concentration in infill markets is delivering strong returns
At Goodman, we use our local market knowledge to source quality locations so that our 1,600+ customers can be close to their customers. The location and quality of our portfolio in key urban centres have continued to drive underlying returns, resulting in high occupancy and rental growth.
The supply constraints in these markets are contributing to the strong underlying fundamentals which are driving future growth.
Key property investment highlights include:
-
- 3.4 million sqm leased equating to $478 million of annual property income
-
- Portfolio occupancy maintained at 98%
-
- Weighted average lease expiry (WALE) of 4.7 years

Structural demand expected to drive growth in WIP to around $5 billion in the near term
Increased customer demand, driven by structural changes in our markets, is giving us greater confidence to escalate development activity. As a result, our development workbook is growing strongly. Commencements have increased to $4.2 billion WIP has increased 14% to $4.1 billion across 55 projects in 13 countries. This is expected to reach approximately $5 billion in the next 12 months.
The concentration on urban logistics developments is changing the nature of our projects. Land scarcity is driving the need for multi-storey developments, automation and robotics require higher-quality facilities, while there is an ever-increasing need to integrate sustainability features into the building. We are building properties that are flexible and adaptable to accommodate the demands of the future. These projects are more complex, however, we have the skills, infrastructure and financial resources to deliver.
Other key development highlights include:

Ambition 01
Delivery in 30 minutes or less
A new retail concept is delivering in China in under 30 minutes.
Since online retail catapulted into existence, customer service expectations have been raised across all forms of retail. Now with the proliferation of Hema’s dynamic fresh food offering, expectations are set to rise again.
“Hema has been developed in a way that no one has ever done before,” says Hema CEO, Mr Hou Yi. “Where other people saw problems, we saw opportunities. And because Alibaba is willing to adventure and to test, we are willing to invest in the future.”
Launched by e-commerce giant, Alibaba, Hema is an ambitious new retailer in China. It’s a physical place to shop, a dine-in restaurant and a distribution centre for online orders, all rolled into one. It also offers 30-minute delivery within a three kilometre store radius in major Chinese cities.
The Hema experience is certainly unique. Digital technology permeates every transaction and interaction, and it all hinges around the Hema app. It’s how customers place an online order, check out and pay in store, access detailed product information, book a table at the robot-run restaurant and place an order.

AMBITION FEATURE 35
==> picture [400 x 430] intentionally omitted <==
When you’re in store, there is a constant buzz. Uniformed Hema staff rush around picking orders for online customers that then get pegged to a conveyor belt and shoot up into the ceiling ready for delivery. There are no cashiers, only kiosks. You can have restaurant staff cook the food you’ve purchased and have a robot serve it to you on site.
Of all the new experiences Hema offers, however, it’s the 30-minute delivery guarantee that’s gaining traction. Only for customers within a three kilometre store radius, it’s said to be impacting real estate prices giving ‘Hema Nearby Houses’ a soaring advantage.

==> picture [574 x 515] intentionally omitted <==
Delivery in 30 minutes means commuters can shop for dinner on their way home and for others it means not having to even leave the house.
Even with such great ambitions, Mr Hou remains humble. “There are many places that need to be perfected,” he says, “so we continue to rethink and iterate. You will see that Hema is constantly exploring new products and new scenarios. We will always pursue perfect and pursue better.”
“Many families include elderly people who are buying food. It is not convenient to go up and down their buildings. It is also dangerous to encounter wind and rain,” explains Mr Hou.
Since Hema first started in 2016, it has opened more than 160 stores. Mr Hou hopes to expand its supply chain to include a wide variety of innovative product lines and bring in the very best of the world’s produce. To this end, Hema is working with agricultural partners from around the world to launch products such as fresh dairy products and premium beef to support the lives of millions of families.

Ambition 02
Eliminate global food waste
A robotics start-up is revolutionising supply chains with an octopus-inspired robot.
There are two things you need to know about soft robotics. First, it’s an academic field that’s developing robots out of rubbery, non-rigid materials. Second, it’s the name of an ambitious Boston start-up that’s having a huge effect on supply chains across the e-commerce, advanced manufacturing and food production industries. “We’re a company that took that field of work out of Harvard University about six years ago because it solves a really important part of robotics,” explains Carl Vause, CEO, Soft Robotics, “which is, how to get a robot to interact with things that vary, in size, shape, weight or are soft and easily damaged.”
What they haven’t been very good at, however, is picking up and packing a range of different items, particularly delicate food items like eggs or strawberries, or flimsy apparel items. That is, until now.
One of the things that makes Soft Robotics different is its technical approach. When discussing the early development work by Professor George Whitesides, the company’s academic founder, Carl says, “Instead of using the human hand as inspiration, he used the octopus as the inspiration.”
What this shift in perspective ultimately led to is a soft robotic hand, also commonly known as a gripper, that gently wraps around items and envelops them. In this way, a single robot can pick up an infinite number of items – big, small, soft, round.
If you’ve had any experience with robotics, you’ll know that robots are very good at simple tasks, like moving something from one part of a factory to another.

AMBITION FEATURE 39
“When a large percentage of food doesn’t get to market, it makes the price of the food that did get to market go up,” says Carl. “It also wastes the time and resources spent growing and watering that food, and when it goes bad it has to be ploughed under which creates more greenhouse gases.”
==> picture [366 x 463] intentionally omitted <==
Whether you’re vegan or carnivore, we all play a part in the food supply chain and, equally, food waste affects us all, but this is one company that’s doing something that will help everyone. “We want to make a world,” Carl says, “where Soft Robotics can ensure that all food that is grown or farmed, gets to market.”

When you think that now any one robot can have the ability to handle the huge variety of products that line our supermarket shelves, it’s revolutionary. Which is good news for companies looking to make supply chain improvements.
“They say that 20% to 30% of the food grown in California goes to waste in the supply chain. In the actual scenario,” clarifies Carl, “it’s somewhere between 40% and 50%. And a lot of that is due to wastage in handling. It’s ridiculous how much food gets thrown away.” Carl believes this level of food wastage is unacceptable because it’s unnecessary. He claims that with their technology, food companies can already reduce waste significantly, adding that soft robotics will soon be the new standard.

Reshape the surface of our planet
A non-conformist group of architects is moulding our planet around people.
BIG’s commitment to pushing boundaries is unrivalled. Taking an unshackled approach to the past and putting human experience at the centre of every creation, BIG’s view is that future cities are going to be a lot more about how we live and work together.
The Danish word for design translates as Formgiving – giving form to that which does not yet exist. And it’s the perfect word to describe Danish architects Bjarke Ingels Group, or BIG, that regularly give form to ideas that are far too wild for the average imagination.
Kai-Uwe Bergmann, a partner at BIG, gives us some insight. “We usually describe ourselves as a kind of thinker. Architects, certainly, but also designers and engineers. You simply can’t think you know the entire solution from a singular perspective. You need many different vantage points, or people, to think about a problem to be able to truly solve it,” he says.
“We all inherit our way of life from previous generations,” says Kai who points out that many of the houses and apartments we live in represent the way people lived 50 to 100 years ago. BIG believes in designing for the future by being sustainable and creating flexible spaces that are malleable enough to adapt to the needs of future generations, as well as the current ones.

One question BIG often asks itself is how to create environments that are equitable and at the same time generous for people. “We can all see that more and more people are moving towards cities,” explains Kai. “A few years ago, it was 50% of the world’s population, by 2050 it will be around 70%.”
==> picture [204 x 404] intentionally omitted <==
This kind of generosity is evident in one of BIG’s current projects, the Dryline (also known as the BIG U) in New York. An increased number of weather events means the design of waterfront areas is regularly being put to the test. BIG was tasked to come up with a solution that would provide flood protection for Manhattan’s waterfront areas, without segregating the city from the surrounding sea.
Inspired by the High Line in New York, BIG designed a protective sea structure that would enhance the liveability for residents.
==> picture [154 x 211] intentionally omitted <==
==> picture [371 x 461] intentionally omitted <==
Co-designed with people in the local areas, the Dryline incorporates seating pavilions, art walls and cycle paths. For BIG, the key to successfully creating infrastructure is to consider how people will ultimately use it. “I think it’s a lot about how you find balance between the needs – in terms of a city densifying itself – and that of actually creating a higher quality of life,” says Kai, “which we are always looking for.”
Supported by the United Nations in response to future rising sea levels, floating cities is a self-sustaining idea that would have the capability of housing up to 10,000 displaced people.
Images from left to right: Kai-Uwe Bergmann with the Dryline model, East Side Coastal Resiliency project before the storm, model making, Harbor Bath (renders courtesy of BIG).
“We’re building a prototype to consider how we would live”, explains Kai, “because as soon as you live on a floating city you have to start thinking about food production and then you need full cycle, or circular, economies and ecosystems that deal with energy and waste.”
Kai points out that BIG often starts thinking about systems before they put pen to paper on architectural design. “Logistics centres are critical when considering the system that you need for a city to grow and to thrive,” he says, describing logistics as being akin to veins that move nutrients and energy around, making them accessible.
We asked Kai if BIG’s work has been described as ambitious in the past. “Yeah,” he says laughing. “Although it is a word that a lot of people would use, I think, at least my hope is, that we also have the follow through.”
The Dryline project is one way to help safeguard our increasingly-urban population, but not surprisingly, it’s not the only solution BIG is working on. Currently, the team is fixated on amphibious architecture – a floating city.

Committing to the long term
2030 Sustainability Strategy
Addressing the UN Sustainable Development Goals
Sustainability is about long-term thinking and leadership. We’ve always taken a sustainable approach that leads to positive economic, environmental and social outcomes for our business, our stakeholders and the world more broadly.
The UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) address the world’s most significant challenges such as poverty, the planet, gender equality, clean water and climate change. We have identified eight of the 17 SDGs as most relevant to our business. These shared global goals are another way we anchor ourselves to the power of collective leadership to ensure a sustainable future for all.
This year, we comprehensively reviewed our practice, taking into account our continued growth and strong financial performance. The result is our 2030 Sustainability Strategy which builds on the momentum of our work to date, aligns with our purpose of ‘Making space for greatness’ and takes a more proactive approach to the challenges and opportunities of the future.
- 03 Good health and well-being
Our 2030 Sustainability Strategy is structured around three pillars. These are linked to a set of material issues, with each pillar backed by short and long-term environmental, social and governance (ESG) targets. Our progress on these targets will be reported annually later in the year, leading up to 2030.

To make space for greatness, Goodman focuses on securing key sites for properties that will stand the test of time. We know that well located, designed and managed properties are better prepared for the challenges of tomorrow. They are more flexible to meet customer needs, support their ongoing health and well-being, and are more resilient to climate impacts and generally experience higher occupancy rates. This maximises their asset value and is a sign that the properties are being used efficiently. While our target is to use 100% renewable energy by 2025, this will be influenced by regional policies and energy markets. Our increasing proportion of rooftop solar, lighting upgrades and a raft of other energy efficiency measures will all contribute to our projected carbon neutral status.

To achieve success, any organisation needs great people. That’s why we base our recruitment around merit, local knowledge and cultural fit. We’re always on the look-out for smart people who are aligned with our values and long-term thinking. Once on board, we incentivise our team to think strategically, work collaboratively and undertake programmes to improve their well-being.
We also think beyond the needs of just our internal team and actively support our customers and suppliers, too. We have aligned commitments to their workforces and have a plan to expand our business ethics programme to look at the human rights and social equity aspects of our global supply chains.
Importantly, we have a safety target of zero workforce fatalities. We believe the best way to achieve this is through strict workplace safety standards and making safety a responsibility for everyone.

Often, it’s children who can’t read who become adults who can’t write. Duffy Books in Homes helps to break the cycle of ‘booklessness’ by giving new books to New Zealand school children three times a year – books that are taken home, cherished and shared with siblings.
Since 1995, Duffy Books in Homes has given books to more than 100,000 children a year and inspired programmes in Australia and the United States. This year is their 25th anniversary and in September they gifted their 13 millionth book.
Through Duffy Books in Homes, Goodman sponsors three schools identified as being in need. We provide five books a year to almost 1,500 students, giving them the experience of reading for pleasure, on their own terms, in their own time.

At the same time each week, for six months, mentors meet mentees at school to tackle the big issues they face. The programme mixes group activities with one-on-one sessions. The individual sessions are led by mentees so they can discuss whatever is on their mind. Afterwards, Raise comprehensively evaluates the impact of the programmes.
This year, Raise developed an ambitious strategy and Goodman has invested more to help. “We believe everyone can benefit from a mentor, so we want to offer our programme at every public secondary school in Australia, raising it from 1,000 mentees to 15,000,” says Vicki. Raise believe it takes a village to raise a child and the Goodman Foundation is proud to take part. “Goodman is always prepared to listen, ask what we’re trying to achieve, and test innovative ideas with us,” says Vicki. “They don’t just give us funding or volunteers; they’re part of our community.

WHAT MAKES A LOCATION GOOD TO GOODMAN?
Proximity to people
Locations that are close to large consumer populations mean that our customers can meet rising delivery and service expectations.
Accessibility
Locations close to major transport infrastructure, like motorways, ports and airports, enable efficient deliveries and reduce supply chain costs for our customers. Accessible locations make commuting to work easier for our customers’ workforce too.
Urbanised areas
Locations in urbanised areas, or areas that are experiencing urbanisation, are scarce. Because there’s competition for land use, these areas are more sought after and more valuable.
Here’s how our global strategy is being realised in each region.

Chairman’s letter Big picture
Goodman has performed very well this year and the results have been driven by the continued and successful execution of our long‑term strategy.
Our financial highlights include:
-
- Operating profit of $942 million, up 11.4% on FY18
In the last three years, we expanded our US presence and grew assets under management from around $1 billion to a portfolio with a built‑out value of more than $5 billion. Our strategy has been to monetise the existing land bank while developing strong relationships with customers, capital partners and local stakeholders.
-
- Statutory profit of $1,628 million, up 48% on FY18
-
- Operating earnings per security (EPS) of 51.6 cents, up 10.5% on FY18
-
- Distribution per security (DPS) of 30.0 cents, up 7% on FY18
-
- Maintenance of a strong financial position with balance sheet gearing stable at 9.7%
-
- Group liquidity of $2.7 billion available, $1.6 billion in cash (excludes available liquidity of $13.6 billion in Partnerships)
-
- Total Securityholder return of 59.4% over one year and 223.4% over five years.
All regions contributed to this year’s strong result. During the year in Asia, our assets under management grew to $16 billion. We achieved higher valuations and a 99% occupancy rate, primarily driven by a focus on quality, scale and intensification opportunities.
In Europe, our determined focus on quality assets and service has produced positive results. Our operations in Australia and New Zealand have also continued to deliver strong results as the structural changes driving our industry begin to be realised, enabling us to maintain our market‑leading positions.
A strategy for the future
Goodman’s success, particularly over the past five years, is due to our consistent execution of our long‑term global strategy. With this strategy to guide us, we’ve balanced our financial and human resources to leverage opportunities and address ever‑changing market conditions.
Our strategy is customer‑led. Not only are we driven by the structural changes shaping our industry, we are responsive to the trends that impact our customers’ businesses, such as the expectation for faster deliveries and supply chain improvements. We have shifted both the location and type of properties we develop to accommodate these evolutionary changes occurring in the industrial sector. Our properties are now concentrated in high‑demand locations as evidenced by the $3.8 billion increase in property valuations over the year.
Outcomes of this scale take time, foresight and patience. They take the ability to foster capital partner relationships as well as to keep our customers close and adapt to their changing needs, so their businesses thrive long term.
They also require a global team united in working consistently towards the positive, sustainable returns we have once again achieved.
Goodman’s people and culture are fundamental to our success. These results are contingent on our strong local expertise in each of our regions and a leadership team dedicated to transparency, ethics and corporate governance.
Goodman’s international business has continued to grow, with 68% of earnings and most of our team now spread across 16 countries outside Australia. The Group has invested in the US and Greater China with returns now starting to materialise.

Aligning interests
The Group’s collaborative approach to remuneration continued, seeing our long‑term returns shared between Securityholders, capital partners and Goodman’s people.
While our commitment to the equitable allocation of rewards remains consistent, the Board this year initiated changes to increase transparency and rigour around our remuneration structure. The framework aims to not only deliver superior returns but to influence long‑term decision‑making and reinforce the Group’s cultural values and behaviour.
Our remuneration policy further aligns all Goodman people with Securityholders. It adds significant value to the Group, by providing a critical differentiator to generate and reward long‑term performance and retain the best people in a highly‑competitive global environment.
Board changes
The Goodman Board welcomes Chris Green as an Independent Director of Goodman Limited and Goodman Funds Management Limited and a member of the Audit Committee.
Chris is the Founder and Chief Executive Officer of a US based firm that invests in real estate innovation and technology. Prior to this he spent 16 years at Macquarie Group where he was the Global Head of Macquarie Capital’s real estate business.
I am proud of Goodman’s performance and the commitment of its management and people around the world to implement what has proven to be a very successful customer‑focused strategy.
On behalf of the Board, I sincerely thank our customers and investors for their continued support and all of Goodman’s people for their contribution.

Group CEO’s letter Connecting customers
At Goodman, we’re looking at the structural changes taking place around the world and continuing to build a sustainable business, positioned to capitalise on these changes. Our ambition is to help our customers grow and succeed in this ever‑changing environment.
Urbanisation, rising consumerism and an increasing need for convenience are continuing unabated. This is driving our customers to evolve and automate their supply chains to keep up with consumer expectations.
Those expectations are constantly escalating. Whether they are an e‑commerce operator, a fresh food grocer or a pharmaceutical company, our customers are working to meet consumers’ demand for immediacy. If they can’t deliver quickly and conveniently, consumers will go elsewhere.
The industrial market has evolved and the nature of developments has changed. At Goodman, we are seeing things such as multi‑storey facilities in land‑constrained markets and the introduction of automation, data capture and analytics to improve supply chain efficiency.
The most critical factor for our customers is how close their facility is to their customers, allowing more competitive speed to market.
Structural changes boosting our performance
Goodman had strong growth in statutory and operating profit for the year to 30 June 2019. The result reflects our work over several years to concentrate our $46 billion portfolio in consumer‑focused locations, where structural changes have had a significant positive impact on our results.
Our investment management business enjoyed strong results and our development programme continued to grow in response to the strong performance of our markets. Work in progress around the world grew to $4 billion and is expected to reach around $5 billion in the next 12 months.
Our Partnerships, meanwhile, benefited from development completions and revaluation gains, leading to growth in external assets under management. The Group delivered a total return of 16% across the Partnerships for the year. It was a strong result for our partners and one we are proud of, reflecting the consistent outperformance of our global portfolio in a volatile environment.
Moreover, we achieved these results while maintaining a low gearing level of 9.7% and significant equity commitments and available liquidity of $16.3 billion accross the Group and Partnerships.
Sustainability
This year, we did a comprehensive review of our sustainability approach to better balance the needs of all our stakeholders.
Our resulting 2030 Sustainability Strategy is based on the three pillars of property, people and culture and corporate performance. These pillars align with our purpose – making space for greatness. Each contains clear targets we will report on annually, keeping us focused on our momentum to date.
All of our businesses performed well during the year, together producing this exceptional result. The property portfolio continued to experience high occupancy levels and rental growth due to the strategic location of our buildings.

Looking ahead
There is ongoing pressure on land use in the markets in which we operate and the barriers to entry are getting higher. Factors include competing demand from e‑commerce, data centre users and urban renewal.
Our portfolio’s concentration in urban centres is critical. It will support our customers’ supply chain evolution over the next five to ten years, generate resilient cash flows, and provide opportunities for more valuable uses in the long term.
Our customers’ needs continue to change. Recognising this, we have built specialist infrastructure around the world to meet their demands and have focused, over several years, on incremental site acquisitions in high‑barrier‑to‑entry markets. This has enabled us to redevelop these existing sites at the right time, providing our customers with contemporary facilities in key locations, close to their consumers.
Team effort
I am proud of the Goodman team and I thank all of our people for what they are achieving for our stakeholders through their dedication and hard work.
Goodman Group is a global collective of people who are aligned with and incentivised by our mutual success over the long term.
This long‑term approach drives our decisions, evidenced by the fact we are now seeing the benefits of a strategy implemented five to ten years ago. We have not allowed ourselves to become complacent and remain focused on delivering results for all our stakeholders.
I would like to thank our customers, capital partners and investors, too, for their ongoing support. Together, we are achieving great things.
Sincerely,
While the market for industrial real estate looks strong, we continue to monitor world events. Our business is diverse and structured to withstand market volatility, yet we remain conservative and prudent in managing our capital. We are maintaining our low leverage, deploying our capital efficiently within our Partnerships and delivering on our forecasts to drive sustainable growth over the long term.

Group operational performance High performance
The Group has delivered another strong operating performance in FY19 as customers continue to demand proximity to consumers. This is due to the fundamental strength of our $46 billion portfolio, and our development and management businesses, which have been positioned to take advantage of the structural changes we are seeing around the world.
OWN
Portfolio concentration in infill markets is delivering strong returns
At Goodman, we use our local market knowledge to source quality locations so that our 1,600+ customers can be close to their customers. The location and quality of our portfolio in key urban centres have continued to drive underlying returns, resulting in high occupancy and rental growth.
The supply constraints in these markets are contributing to the strong underlying fundamentals which are driving future growth.
Key property investment highlights include:
-
- 3.4 million sqm leased equating to

DEVELOP
MANAGE
Structural demand expected to drive growth in WIP to around $5 billion in the near term
Strong performance of the Partnerships and AUM growth is increasing earnings
Increased customer demand, driven by structural changes in our markets, is giving us greater confidence to escalate development activity. As a result, our development workbook is growing strongly. Commencements have increased to $4.2 billion while work in progress (WIP) has increased 14% to $4.1 billion across 55 projects in 13 countries. This is expected to reach approximately $5 billion in the next 12 months.
Development completions and revaluation gains led to 22% growth in external assets under management to $43 billion. The Group delivered an average total return of 16% across the Partnerships for FY19 and 16.4% p.a. over the last five years.
We raised and deployed more capital in Partnerships to fund the growth in development work, with $900 million invested by the Group over the year.
The concentration on urban logistics developments is changing the nature of our projects. Land scarcity is driving the need for multi‑storey developments, automation and robotics require higher‑quality facilities, while there is an ever‑increasing need to integrate sustainability features into the building. We are building properties that are flexible and adaptable to accommodate the demands of the future. These projects are more complex, however, we have the skills, infrastructure and financial resources to deliver.
Other key management highlights include:
-
- Management earnings up 48% on FY18
-
- Global weighted average cap rate (WACR) tightening to 5.1%
-
- $13.6 billion in equity commitments and availible liquidity.
Other key development highlights include:
-
- Development completions of $3.9 billion
-
- 81% committed on completion
-
- 80% of WIP undertaken within Partnerships.

Space for the world’s greatest ambitions Fasten your seatbelts the future is coming
Meet three companies whose ambitions are changing the way we all live and work, for the better. Companies whose passion and drive are helping to shape our industry, accelerate our customers’ businesses and make the world a more interesting place for all of us.
Of all the new experiences Hema offers, however, it’s the 30‑minute delivery guarantee that’s gaining traction. Only for customers within a three kilometre store radius, it’s said to be impacting real estate prices giving ‘Hema Nearby Houses’ a soaring advantage.
Ambition 01
Delivery in 30 minutes or less
Company: Hema Location: China
A new retail concept is delivering in China in under 30 minutes.
Since online retail catapulted into existence, customer service expectations have been raised across all forms of retail. Now with the proliferation of Hema’s dynamic fresh food offering, expectations are set to rise again.
Launched by e‑commerce giant, Alibaba, Hema is an ambitious new retailer in China. It’s a physical place to shop, a dine‑in restaurant and a distribution centre for online orders, all rolled into one. It also offers 30‑minute delivery within a three kilometre store radius in major Chinese cities.
“Hema has been developed in a way that no one has ever done before,” says Hema CEO, Mr Hou Yi. “Where other people saw problems, we saw opportunities. And because Alibaba is willing to adventure and to test, we are willing to invest in the future.”
Delivery in 30 minutes means commuters can shop for dinner on their way home and for others it means not having to even leave the house.
“Many families include elderly people who are buying food. It is not convenient to go up and down their buildings. It is also dangerous to encounter wind and rain,” explains Mr Hou.
Since Hema first started in 2016, it has opened more than 160 stores. Mr Hou hopes to expand its supply chain to include a wide variety of innovative product lines and bring in the very best of the world’s produce. To this end, Hema is working with agricultural partners from around the world to launch products such as fresh dairy products and premium beef to support the lives of millions of families.
Even with such great ambitions, Mr Hou remains humble. “There are many places that need to be perfected,” he says, “so we continue to rethink and iterate. You will see that Hema is constantly exploring new products and new scenarios. We will always pursue perfect and pursue better.”
The Hema experience is certainly unique. Digital technology permeates every transaction and interaction, and it all hinges around the Hema app. It’s how customers place an online order, check out and pay in store, access detailed product information, book a table at the robot‑run restaurant and place an order.
Watch the Hema video and see how a delivery can be made within 30 minutes in a country of 1.5 billion people. goodman.com/hema
When you’re in store, there is a constant buzz. Uniformed Hema staff rush around picking orders for online customers that then get pegged to a conveyor belt and shoot up into the ceiling ready for delivery. There are no cashiers, only kiosks. You can have restaurant staff cook the food you’ve purchased and have a robot serve it to you on site.

Ambition 02
Eliminate global food waste
Company: Soft Robotics Location: Boston
A robotics start‑up is revolutionising supply chains with an octopus‑inspired robot.
There are two things you need to know about soft robotics. First, it’s an academic field that’s developing robots out of rubbery, non‑rigid materials. Second, it’s the name of an ambitious Boston start‑up that’s having a huge effect on supply chains across the e‑commerce, advanced manufacturing and food production industries.
“We’re a company that took that field of work out of Harvard University about six years ago because it solves a really important part of robotics,” explains Carl Vause, CEO, Soft Robotics, “which is, how to get a robot to interact with things that vary, in size, shape, weight or are soft and easily damaged.”
If you’ve had any experience with robotics, you’ll know that robots are very good at simple tasks, like moving something from one part of a factory to another. What they haven’t been very good at, however, is picking up and packing a range of different items, particularly delicate food items like eggs or strawberries, or flimsy apparel items. That is, until now.
One of the things that makes Soft Robotics different is its technical approach. When discussing the early development work by Professor George Whitesides, the company’s academic founder, Carl says, “Instead of using the human hand as inspiration, he used the octopus as the inspiration.”
When you think that now any one robot can have the ability to handle the huge variety of products that line our supermarket shelves, it’s revolutionary. Which is good news for companies looking to make supply chain improvements.
“They say that 20% to 30% of the food grown in California goes to waste in the supply chain. In the actual scenario,” clarifies Carl, “it’s somewhere between 40% and 50%. And a lot of that is due to wastage in handling. It’s ridiculous how much food gets thrown away.”
Carl believes this level of food wastage is unacceptable because it’s unnecessary. He claims that with their technology, food companies can already reduce waste significantly, adding that soft robotics will soon be the new standard.
“When a large percentage of food doesn’t get to market, it makes the price of the food that did get to market go up,” says Carl. “It also wastes the time and resources spent growing and watering that food, and when it goes bad it has to be ploughed under which creates more greenhouse gases.”
Whether you’re vegan or carnivore, we all play a part in the food supply chain and, equally, food waste affects us all, but this is one company that’s doing something that will help everyone. “We want to make a world,” Carl says, “where Soft Robotics can ensure that all food that is grown or farmed, gets to market.”
Watch the Soft Robotics video and see how robots are helping to reduce food waste. goodman.com/softrobotics
What this shift in perspective ultimately led to is a soft robotic hand, also commonly known as a gripper, that gently wraps around items and envelops them. In this way, a single robot can pick up an infinite number of items – big, small, soft, round.

Space for the world’s greatest ambitions (continued)
Ambition 03
Reshape the surface of our planet Company: Bjarke Ingels Group Location: Barcelona/Copenhagen/London/New York A non‑conformist group of architects is moulding our planet around people.
The Danish word for design translates as Formgiving – giving form to that which does not yet exist. And it’s the perfect word to describe Danish architects Bjarke Ingels Group, or BIG, that regularly give form to ideas that are far too wild for the average imagination.
Inspired by the High Line in New York, BIG designed a protective sea structure that would enhance the liveability for residents. Co‑designed with people in the local areas, the Dryline incorporates seating pavilions, art walls and cycle paths.
For BIG, the key to successfully creating infrastructure is to consider how people will ultimately use it. “I think it’s a lot about how you find balance between the needs – in terms of a city densifying itself – and that of actually creating a higher quality of life,” says Kai, “which we are always looking for.”
Kai‑Uwe Bergmann, a partner at BIG, gives us some insight. “We usually describe ourselves as a kind of thinker. Architects, certainly, but also designers and engineers. You simply can’t think you know the entire solution from a singular perspective. You need many different vantage points, or people, to think about a problem to be able to truly solve it,” he says.
Kai points out that BIG often starts thinking about systems before they put pen to paper on architectural design. “Logistics centres are critical when considering the system that you need for a city to grow and to thrive,” he says, describing logistics as being akin to veins that move nutrients and energy around, making them accessible.
BIG’s commitment to pushing boundaries is unrivalled. Taking an unshackled approach to the past and putting human experience at the centre of every creation, BIG’s view is that future cities are going to be a lot more about how we live and work together.
The Dryline project is one way to help safeguard our increasingly‑urban population, but not surprisingly, it’s not the only solution BIG is working on. Currently, the team is fixated on amphibious architecture – a floating city.
“We all inherit our way of life from previous generations,” says Kai who points out that many of the houses and apartments we live in represent the way people lived 50 to 100 years ago. BIG believes in designing for the future by being sustainable and creating flexible spaces that are malleable enough to adapt to the needs of future generations, as well as the current ones.
One question BIG often asks itself is how to create environments that are equitable and at the same time generous for people. “We can all see that more and more people are moving towards cities,” explains Kai. “A few years ago, it was 50% of the world’s population, by 2050 it will be around 70%.”
This kind of generosity is evident in one of BIG’s current projects, the Dryline (also known as the BIG U) in New York. An increased number of weather events means the design of waterfront areas is regularly being put to the test. BIG was tasked to come up with a solution that would provide flood protection for Manhattan’s waterfront areas, without segregating the city from the surrounding sea.
Supported by the United Nations in response to future rising sea levels, floating cities is a self‑sustaining idea that would have the capability of housing up to 10,000 displaced people.
“We’re building a prototype to consider how we would live”, explains Kai, “because as soon as you live on a floating city you have to start thinking about food production and then you need full cycle, or circular, economies and ecosystems that deal with energy and waste.”
We asked Kai if BIG’s work has been described as ambitious in the past. “Yeah,” he says laughing. “Although it is a word that a lot of people would use, I think, at least my hope is, that we also have the follow through.”

SUSTAINABILITY
Committing to the long term
2030 Sustainability Strategy
Sustainability is about long‑term thinking and leadership. We’ve always taken a sustainable approach that leads to positive economic, environmental and social outcomes for our business, our stakeholders and the world more broadly.
This year, we comprehensively reviewed our practice, taking into account our continued growth and strong financial performance. The result is our 2030 Sustainability Strategy which builds on the momentum of our work to date, aligns with our purpose of ‘Making space for greatness’ and takes a more proactive approach to the challenges and opportunities of the future.
Our 2030 Sustainability Strategy is structured around three pillars. These are linked to a set of material issues, with each pillar backed by short and long‑term environmental, social and governance (ESG) targets. Our progress on these targets will be reported annually later in the year, leading up to 2030.

PROPERTY
All the right places
To make space for greatness, Goodman focuses on securing key sites for properties that will stand the test of time. We know that well located, designed and managed properties are better prepared for the challenges of tomorrow. They are more flexible to meet customer needs, support their ongoing health and well‑being, and are more resilient to climate impacts and generally experience higher occupancy rates. This maximises their asset value and is a sign that the properties are being used efficiently.
While our target is to use 100% renewable energy by 2025, this will be influenced by regional policies and energy markets. Our increasing proportion of rooftop solar, lighting upgrades and a raft of other energy efficiency measures will all contribute to our projected carbon neutral status.

Addressing climate risk
Goodman supports the Paris Agreement goal of reducing global carbon emissions and limiting the average temperature rise to below 2 degrees Celsius. At the same time, Goodman acknowledges it is exposed to a range of climates and extreme weather events across its operating regions. We have adopted the framework recommended by the Task Force on Climate‑Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) and our board‑appointed Risk and Compliance Committee will oversee the necessary analysis and disclosure.
This year, in response to the projected impacts of climate change, we developed a climate risk management programme. The programme will involve extensive work in key regions to understand our physical risks, including an assessment of climate exposure across Goodman’s Australian portfolio.

The Goodman Foundation Doing good in the world
Goodman believes all people everywhere should be in equal reach of greatness. That’s why we established the Goodman Foundation. So we can use our people, properties and our resources to bring better quality of life to the communities in which we operate.
MAKING A TANGIBLE DIFFERENCE
The Goodman Foundation offers support to charities in the following ways:
-
- Cash grants
Provided to fund identified projects or needs over one to three years
-
- Do good programme Goodman team volunteering or fundraising for charities
-
- Give back programme Workplace giving schemes that match staff contributions dollar for dollar
01 CHILDREN AND YOUTH
We work with charity organisations that help to protect and support children or young people around the world. Our partners include Bestest Foundation, Children’s Cancer Institute of Australia, Clontarf Foundation, Eagle RAPS, Friends & Helpers Foundation, Great Potentials Foundation, Little Olive Child Foundation, Property Industry Foundation, Raise Foundation, SOS Children’s Villages, Stepping Stone House, The Helmsman Project, The Shepherd Centre and Yalari.
Focus partner Duffy Books in Homes
Often, it’s children who can’t read who become adults who can’t write. Duffy Books in Homes helps to break the cycle of ‘booklessness’ by giving new books to New Zealand school children three times a year – books that are taken home, cherished and shared with siblings.
-
- In‑kind support
-
Our expertise, warehouse space or the provision of other critical items.
We partner with charities, who, like us, are striving to do good in the world in three key areas.
Since 1995, Duffy Books in Homes has given books to more than 100,000 children a year and inspired programmes in Australia and the United States. This year is their 25th anniversary and in September they gifted their 13 millionth book.
Through Duffy Books in Homes, Goodman sponsors three schools identified as being in need. We provide five books a year to almost 1,500 students, giving them the experience of reading for pleasure, on their own terms, in their own time.

02 COMMUNITY AND COMMUNITY HEALTH
We work with charity organisations that support people living with a condition, illness or disability, or whose efforts create a more inclusive and equitable community. Our partners include ACRF (Australian Cancer Research Foundation), Black Dog Institute, Cerebral Palsy Alliance, Greenway, Humpty Dumpty Foundation, Invictus Games Foundation, Multiple Sclerosis Australia, Paralympics Australia, Rural Aid, Special Olympics Australia, The Bread & Butter Project, The Fred Hollows Foundation and Windgap Foundation.
Focus partner The Bread & Butter Project
The Bread & Butter Project is Australia’s first social enterprise bakery, investing 100% of profits into providing training and employment pathways for refugees who aspire to become bakers. They are given full‑time paid traineeships to help them succeed in their new country.
Based in Sydney, the participants work alongside professional bakers and graduate with formal accreditation. They receive English tutoring and career counselling to help them find a job at the end of the traineeship.
03 FOOD RESCUE AND ENVIRONMENT
We support charity organisations that reduce waste by redistributing food or useful items that would otherwise go to landfill. Our partners include FareShare, Feeding Hong Kong, Good360 Australia, KiwiHarvest, OzHarvest, Second Harvest Food Bank of Orange County, Thread Together and UKHarvest.
Focus partner Thread Together
Thread Together drives social and environmental change by redistributing new clothing and shoes to those most in need, while reducing the amount of clothing going to landfill. Wearing brand‑new, well‑known brands helps to bring dignity, motivation and self‑confidence to vulnerable Australians.
Since 2012, Thread Together has redistributed high‑quality garments to more than 300,000 people in need, including people who are homeless, in crisis, refugees, long‑term unemployed, youth‑at‑risk and victims of domestic violence.
Having supported Thread Together since launch, the Goodman Foundation has provided both in‑kind support and cash grants which have included warehouse space and a van to collect and distribute clothes.
As a founding partner, Goodman’s grants have helped to provide the fleet of vehicles that deliver fresh artisanal bread to outlets all over Sydney.

RAISE FOUNDATION
It takes a village
Raise Foundation, the youth mentoring foundation that’s helping young Australians feel heard, valued and supported.
Having experienced challenges as a teenager, Vicki Condon knew the value of having an adult she could turn to. But it wasn’t until later in life, with the suicide of a family friend’s son, that she decided to set up youth mentoring charity, Raise Foundation.
“We run best practice mentoring in schools for young people at risk of disengaging,” says Vicki, CEO, Raise Foundation. “Our key difference is helping young people learn to have face‑to‑face relationships with adults they can trust.”
At the same time each week, for six months, mentors meet mentees at school to tackle the big issues they face. The programme mixes group activities with one‑on‑one sessions. The individual sessions are led by mentees so they can discuss whatever is on their mind. Afterwards, Raise comprehensively evaluates the impact of the programmes.
“We see statistically significant improvement,” says Vicki. “Most mentees are more comfortable asking a trusted adult for help, feel more employable and hopeful about their future, and are looking to complete Year 12. It builds resilience with mental health issues, as well as confidence and communication skills.”
Mentors receive 12 hours of industry‑leading training, and since 2008, around 4,000 volunteers have mentored around 5,400 young people. “We’re up‑skilling adults, too, to be better listeners and contribute to thriving communities more broadly.”
Since 2013, the Goodman Foundation has partnered with Raise in three ways: cash grants, Goodman people as mentors and CEO‑to‑CEO mentoring between Vicki and Jo Cameron, Goodman Foundation CEO.
Raise believes it takes a village to raise a child and the Goodman Foundation is proud to take part. “Goodman is always prepared to listen, ask what we’re trying to achieve, and test innovative ideas with us,” says Vicki. “They don’t just give us funding or volunteers; they’re part of our community. Goodman is an important part of our village.”
The problem
-
- Suicide is the leading cause of death in young Australians
-
- One in ten young Australians are disengaged from education and training
-
- One in four are struggling with their mental health.
The solution
-
- Mentoring helps young people, particularly at‑risk youth, to succeed in school, work and life
-
- Raise provides individual support from a trained mentor to help young people navigate their issues.
STEPTEMBER GLOBAL PARTNERSHIP
Count us in
Cerebral Palsy Alliance is transforming lives through world‑leading evidence‑based therapy, early childhood intervention and ground‑breaking research.
Over the past ten years, positive research outcomes have reduced the incidence of cerebral palsy from around 1 in 400 to 1 in 700 children, and the severity of cerebral palsy in children has become milder.
With the support of our team, partners and customers, Goodman’s ambition, as the global partner of Steptember, is to help fund research into the cause, prevention, treatment and, ultimately, a cure for cerebral palsy. This includes research that will result in the world’s first human clinical trial of stem cells in babies at risk of cerebral palsy. A therapy that offers the best chance of targeted neuroprotection for these children.
This year, Raise developed an ambitious strategy and Goodman has invested more to help. “We believe everyone can benefit from a mentor, so we want to offer our programme at every public secondary school in Australia, raising it from 1,000 mentees to 15,000,” says Vicki.

Accessibility
Locations close to major transport infrastructure, like motorways, ports and airports, enable efficient deliveries and reduce supply chain costs for our customers. Accessible locations make commuting to work easier for our customers’ workforce too.
Urbanised areas
Locations in urbanised areas, or areas that are experiencing urbanisation, are scarce. Because there’s competition for land use, these areas are more sought after and more valuable.

Directors’ report
The directors (Directors) of Goodman Limited (ABN 69 000 123 071) and Goodman Funds Management Limited (GFML), the responsible entity for Goodman Industrial Trust (ARSN 091 213 839), present their Directors’ report together with the consolidated financial statements of Goodman Limited and the entities it controlled (Goodman or Group) and the consolidated financial statements of Goodman Industrial Trust and the entities it controlled (GIT) at the end of, or during, the financial year ended 30 June 2019 (FY19) and the audit report thereon.
Ordinance and accordingly the financial statements of GLHK have not been included as adjacent columns in the consolidated financial statements. The financial statements of GLHK have been included as an appendix to this financial report.
GFML, as responsible entity for the Trust, is solely responsible for the preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial report of GIT, in accordance with the Trust’s Constitution and the Corporations Act 2001.
OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW
Shares in Goodman Limited (Company or GL), units in Goodman Industrial Trust (Trust) and CHESS Depositary Interests (CDIs) over shares in Goodman Logistics (HK) Limited (GLHK) are stapled to one another and are quoted as a single security on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX). In respect of stapling arrangements, Australian Accounting Standards require an acquirer to be identified and an in‑substance acquisition to be recognised and accordingly Goodman Limited is identified as having acquired control over the assets of GIT and GLHK. The consolidated financial statements of Goodman Limited therefore include the results of GIT and GLHK.
As permitted by the relief provided in Australian Securities & Investments Commission (ASIC) Instrument 18‑0353, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present both the financial statements and accompanying notes of Goodman and GIT. GLHK, which is incorporated and domiciled in Hong Kong, prepares its financial statements under Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards and the applicable requirements of the Hong Kong Companies

- Operating profit per security (operating EPS) is the operating profit divided by the weighted average number of securities on issue during FY19, including securities relating to performance rights that have not yet vested but where the performance hurdles have been achieved. Operating profit comprises profit attributable to Securityholders adjusted for net property valuations gains, non‑property impairment losses, net gains/losses from the fair value movements on derivative financial instruments and unrealised fair value and foreign exchange movements on interest bearing liabilities and other non‑cash adjustments or non‑recurring items e.g. the share based payments expense associated with Goodman’s Long Term Incentive Plan (LTIP).
The Directors consider that Goodman’s operating profit is a key measure by which to examine the underlying performance of the business, notwithstanding that operating profit is not an income measure under International Financial Reporting Standards.
-
Development work in progress is the end value of ongoing developments across Goodman and its investments in associates and joint ventures (referred to as Partnerships).
-
Gearing is calculated as total interest bearing liabilities over total assets, both net of cash and the fair values of certain derivative financial instruments included in other financial assets of $222.4 million (2018: $154.3 million). Total interest bearing liabilities are grossed up for the fair values of certain derivative financial instruments included in other financial liabilities of $123.6 million (2018: $31.9 million).
-
Interest cover is operating profit before net finance expense (operating) and income tax (operating) divided by adjusted net finance expense (operating). Adjusted net finance expense excludes capitalised borrowing costs.
Goodman Group 2019

Overview
Goodman has delivered another strong result, with operating profit of $942.3 million for FY19, compared to $845.9 million for the prior year, an increase of 11.4%. This equated to an operating EPS of 51.6 cents, up 10.5% on FY18. The contribution from overseas operations has again increased and now comprises 68% of the Group’s operating profit. The demand by Goodman’s customers for industrial property close to their consumers in major urban locations continues to drive the development workbook and has resulted in consistently strong property fundamentals across the global portfolio.
Key operational highlights:
Investment
-
- $46.2 billion of total assets under management (AUM), of which the Group owns a whole or a part share
-
- 3.3% like for like growth in net property income (NPI) in Partnerships
-
- 98% occupancy across the Group and Partnerships
Management
-
- $42.9 billion of external AUM in Partnerships + 15.9% total return across Partnerships
Goodman’s statutory profit attributable to
Securityholders for FY19 was $1,627.9 million, an increase of $529.7 million compared with FY18. This included the Group’s share of property valuation gains, net of deferred tax, of $871.7 million and the accounting expense of the Group’s Long Term Incentive Plan of $196.6 million. There was also a $17.0 million fair value gain on derivatives and debt translation which is included in the statutory profit but excluded from the calculation of operating profit.
Goodman has achieved this result while maintaining the prudent metrics in accordance with its financial risk management policy. The Group’s debt bears interest at rates consistent with the prevailing low interest rate environment, and over $2.0 billion of bonds have expiries in more than five years. At 30 June 2019, gearing remained low at 9.7% and the funds available to the Group for investment were $2.7 billion.
Dividends and distributions relating to FY19 increased to 30 cents per security, up 7.1% on the prior year.
Development
-
- $4.1 billion of development work in progress (WIP)
-
- $4.2 billion of development commencements, with 81% undertaken in Partnerships and third parties
Goodman continues to focus on the location of its portfolios. Urbanisation and the consumers’ demand for convenience require Goodman’s customers to be located in major cities and have fast and efficient supply chains. The asset disposal programme over the past few years has allowed Goodman’s portfolios around the world to be concentrated in these key urban centres where demand is currently outstripping supply. This has resulted in average occupancy of 98% and like for like NPI growth during FY19 of over 3%.
The strong customer demand for these assets is also driving strong investor demand. This is particularly accentuated in a relatively low general growth environment where the prospects for Goodman’s portfolios appear relatively strong. As a result, the valuations of the Group’s stabilised investment properties again showed strong growth, due to further compression of capitalisation rates and the impact of the increased rental income. The weighted average capitalisation rate across the Goodman portfolios decreased from 5.5% at the start of FY19 to 5.1% at 30 June 2019.
Goodman Group
28
Directors’ report Operating and financial review (continued)
The ongoing development activity in all regions, the property valuation growth and the net acquisitions have increased total AUM by 21% to $46.2 billion at 30 June 2019 from $38.3 billion at 30 June 2018. Consequently, both the Group’s share of investment income from Partnerships and base management and property services fees have increased compared to the prior year. Management income is further supplemented by the recognition of portfolio performance fee revenue, a reflection of the Partnership returns that have been consistently achieved over the past few years.
Asset pricing has meant that the development of sites by the Group has continued to be the best way for Goodman and Partnerships to access high quality assets in the target locations. The size and scale of new projects are growing given the high value nature of urban sites and development earnings and development WIP has increased during FY19. As at 30 June 2019, development WIP was $4.1 billion across 55 projects, with approximately 80% of development activity in Partnerships.
Analysis of performance
Goodman’s key operating regions are Australia and New Zealand (reported on a combined basis), Asia (Greater China and Japan), Continental Europe (approximately 75% of assets located in Germany and France), the United Kingdom and the Americas (North America and Brazil). The operational performance can be analysed into property investment earnings, management earnings and development earnings, and the Directors consider this presentation of the consolidated results facilitates a better understanding of the underlying performance of Goodman given the differing nature of and risks associated with each earnings stream.
Property investment earnings consist of gross property income (excluding straight lining of rental income), less property expenses, plus Goodman’s share of the operating results of Partnerships that is allocable to property investment activities which excludes the Group’s share of property revaluations and derivative mark to market movements. The key drivers for maintaining or growing Goodman’s property investment earnings are increasing the level of AUM (subject also to Goodman’s direct and indirect interest), maintaining or increasing occupancy and rental levels within the portfolio, and financing costs within Partnerships.
Management earnings relate to the revenue from managing both the property portfolios and the capital invested in Partnerships (management income). This includes performance related revenues but excludes earnings from managing development activities in Partnerships, which are included in development earnings. The key drivers for maintaining or growing management earnings are activity levels, asset performance, and increasing the level of AUM, which can be impacted by property valuations and asset disposals and is also dependent on liquidity including the continued availability of third party capital to fund both development activity and acquisitions across Goodman’s Partnerships.
Development earnings consist of development income, plus Goodman’s share of the operating results of Partnerships that is allocable to development activities, plus net gains or losses from disposals of investment properties and equity investments that are allocable to development activities, less development expenses. Development income includes development management fees and also performance related revenues associated with managing development activity in Partnerships. The key drivers for Goodman’s development earnings are the level of development activity, land and construction prices, property valuations and the continued availability of third party capital to fund development activity.

The Group’s property portfolios are concentrated in large, urban centres around the world where demand from customers (including e‑commerce) who continue to invest in improving the efficiency of their supply chains, data centre users and urban renewal, has put pressure on land use and availability. As a consequence, barriers to entry in these locations are high, land is scarce and, in some cases, supply is negative meaning that the properties should see higher valuation growth and higher returns over the long term.
The directly held properties are primarily in Australia and generally have potential for higher intensity or alternate uses. The decrease in investment earnings from the directly held properties was due to the $346.2 million of disposals in FY18 and repositioning of certain assets as they are prepared for redevelopment.
Goodman’s share of investment earnings from its cornerstone holdings in Partnerships increased by 9.8% to $298.1 million compared to the prior year.
This was due to rental income growth from existing properties and the completion of developments both during FY18 and FY19. Although there were disposals in FY19, notably in New Zealand and Continental Europe, the value of disposals was much lower than the annual average over the previous five years, as the composition of the Group’s portfolios is now largely orientated to the desired quality of assets.
Net property income from the Partnership portfolios in FY19 was up 3.3% on a like for like basis compared to FY18 and occupancy at 30 June 2019 was 98% (2018: 98%). During FY19, the Group’s share of property valuations from the stabilised portfolios was $575.1 million, excluding valuation uplifts on new developments that reached completion. Valuation gains occurred across all the Group’s operating segments and were due to both capitalisation rate compression and the growth in rental income. At 30 June 2019, the WACR for the Group’s portfolios was 5.1%, compared to 5.5% at the start of FY19.
The returns from Partnerships are also impacted by the level of debt in each Partnership. Consistent with the Group’s financial risk management, gearing in Partnerships was also maintained at the lower end of target ranges, which continues to be appropriate given the levels of ongoing development activity. While a higher level of gearing would have improved the short‑term returns, Goodman’s strategy has been to position its Partnerships for sustainable long‑term growth. The operating return on Goodman’s investment in the stabilised portfolios held by the Partnerships was 4.9% compared to 5.2% in the prior year, the decrease due to the strong valuation growth that increased the investment base.

Management
Management earnings in FY19 of $469.7 million increased by 48.4% compared to the prior year and comprised 35% of total operating earnings (2018: 27%). The two main drivers of management earnings were the increase in external AUM and the increasing contribution from portfolio performance fee income.
During FY19, external AUM increased by 22% to $42.9 billion from $35.1 billion as set out below:
External assets under management

| Capital expenditure (developments) | 2.0 |
| Valuations | 3.7 |
| Foreign currency translation | 1.2 |
| At the end of the year | 42.9 |
Base management fee income, earned from the overall management of the Group’s Partnerships, increased in line with the increase in AUM. This was supplemented by property services income, which increased in line with the gross property income in Partnerships, and other income such as leasing fees and transactional fees.
In addition, the consistently high Partnership returns over the past few years resulted in performance fee revenue growing to $204.3 million in FY19 from $83.1 million in the prior year, primarily in Australia and Asia. For FY19, the Partnerships reported average total returns of 15.9% (2018: 15.0%), and performance fee revenue represented around 43% of the total management earnings, up from 26% in the prior year.
Development
In FY19, development earnings were $509.2 million, an increase of 3.8% on the prior year and comprised 38% of total operating earnings (2018: 41%).
Development activity continued to be strong with commencements during the year of $4.2 billion, completions of $3.9 billion and WIP of $4.1 billion across 55 projects at 30 June 2019. The increase in the Group’s earnings was primarily volume driven.

|---|---|---|
| Key metrics: | ||
| Work in progress (A$B) | 4.1 | 3.6 |
| Number of developments | 55 | 80 |
The majority of inventory disposals and fixed price contract income arose in Europe, as Partnerships in Continental Europe generally acquire completed developments from Goodman. In the Group’s other operating segments, development earnings are a mix of development management income, including performance related income, and transactional activity, including the Group’s share of development profits reported by Partnerships themselves. During FY19, approximately 80% of development activity (by end value) was undertaken by Partnerships, which was consistent with the prior year.
Consistent with the Group’s strategy, development activity has been focused on key urban centres, where customer demand is high and the supply of industrial logistics is restricted. In locations, such as Japan and North America, this has allowed the Group to commence certain projects on a speculative basis. Nevertheless, occupancy at completion remained strong with 81% leased to customers based on the projects that completed during FY19. Furthermore, at reporting date 88% of developments (by value) were either already owned by or contracted for sale to third parties or Partnerships.
Goodman Group
32
Directors’ report Operating and financial review (continued) Analysis of performance (continued)
The scale of the projects has been growing over time as a consequence of the high value nature of the sites and the complexity associated with development of infill locations. With further high value developments in the pipeline, particularly in Asia and North America, WIP is expected to approach $5 billion in FY20.
Operating expenses
For FY19, operating expenses increased to $267.7 million from $249.4 million. The majority of the operating expenses related to remuneration costs which increased to $191.9 million from $180.7 million as a result of modest inflation pressure, lower cost capitalisation (with fewer development assets directly held by the Group) and the impact of a weaker Australian dollar on the translation of the overseas costs. Headcount was maintained or reduced in most divisions.
Administrative expenses also increased in FY19 due to the impact of foreign currency translation and increased compliance costs, with local regulators either increasing or introducing levies to fund financial services monitoring and surveillance programmes.
Income tax expense (operating)
Income tax expense (operating) for FY19 at $95.1 million (2018: $47.6 million) increased compared to the prior year. A significant proportion of Goodman’s earnings related to GIT and its controlled entities, which are “flow through” entities under Australian tax legislation, meaning Securityholders (and not GIT) are taxed on their respective share of income. However, the majority of the increase in earnings in FY19 related to management activities, which are taxed at prevailing local rates. Additionally, certain jurisdictions have now fully utilised any tax losses, with most of the Group’s remaining tax losses being in Australia and the United Kingdom.
Capital management
Goodman has maintained its prudent approach to capital management. At 30 June 2019, the Group’s available debt facilities and fixed rate long‑term bonds, which totalled $4.0 billion (of which $2.95 billion had been drawn), had a weighted average maturity of 6.6 years. The Group’s cash and undrawn bank facilities were $2.7 billion, which is available for future investment.
Net finance expense (operating)
Net finance expense (operating), which excluded derivative mark to market, unrealised foreign exchange movements and debt restructure expenses, increased to $45.9 million from $44.4 million. This was due to an increase in the net interest cost associated with the Group’s cross currency interest rate derivatives and the lower Australian dollar, which offset the full year impact of the lower rates following the refinance of the Group’s bonds in FY18.
At 30 June 2019, gearing was 9.7% (2018: 5.1%), which continued to be at the lower end of the Group’s policy range but was increased compared to 30 June 2018 due to equity investments in Partnerships to fund the growth in development activity, notably Goodman North America Partnership, and the currency translation impact associated with the USD, JPY and EUR denominated debt. Interest cover was 19.6 times (2018: 16.2 times) and the Group continued to have significant headroom relative to its financing covenants. Goodman’s credit ratings from Standard & Poor’s and Moody’s were unchanged at BBB+ and Baa1, respectively.
Annual Report 2019
33
As Goodman expects to undertake an increased volume of development activity over the next few years, more capital will be allocated to development and also to Partnership investments. In order to maintain low financial leverage, the Group is transitioning its distribution pay‑out ratio from 60% towards 50% of operating profit. The distribution for FY19 was 30 cents per security, a pay‑out ratio of 58%, with 15 cents paid on 26 February 2019 and 15 cents to be paid on 9 September 2019. The distribution reinvestment plan was not in operation during the year.
During FY19, the Group and its Partnerships refinanced over $2.8 billion of bank debt and secured third party equity commitments of $2.4 billion to provide liquidity for ongoing acquisition and development opportunities.
Dividends and distributions
Goodman Limited did not declare any dividends during the financial year (2018: $nil).
During FY19, Goodman Industrial Trust declared and accrued distributions of 25.0 cents per security (2018: 23.0 cents per security), amounting to $453.5 million (2018: $414.2 million).
During FY19, GLHK declared and accrued a dividend of 5.0 cents per security (2018: 5.0 cents per security), amounting to $90.7 million (2018: $90.0 million).
Summary of items that reconcile operating profit to statutory profit
Property valuation related movements
The net gain from fair value adjustments on investment properties of $146.8 million (2018: $71.1 million) related to those assets directly held by Goodman, principally in Sydney, Australia. The uplift in value was due to both rental growth and a contraction in capitalisation rates.
Goodman’s share of net gains from fair value adjustments after tax attributable to investment properties in Partnerships increased to $746.6 million from $602.7 million in the prior year. Increases occurred in most regions due to the quality of the property portfolios, improved leasing outcomes, continued investor demand for industrial assets and developments conducted in the Partnerships. The valuations in FY19 included $171 million (2018: $215 million) relating to completion of development assets, predominantly in North America, and a further $50 million relating to developments in progress at 30 June 2019.
At 30 June 2019, the WACR for Goodman’s stabilised property portfolios (both directly held and Partnerships) decreased from 5.5% to 5.1%.
There were no impairment losses associated with the Group’s inventories during FY19.

Directors’ report Operating and financial review (continued) Analysis of performance (continued)
Fair value adjustments and unrealised foreign currency exchange movements related to liability management
The amount reported in profit or loss associated with the Group’s derivative financial instruments and translation of USD debt was a net gain of $17.0 million. This included fair value gains of $27.1 million associated with the derivative financial instruments and losses of $10.1 million from translation of the USD denominated bonds that do not qualify for net investment hedging. The $27.1 million fair value gains on the derivative financial instruments comprised unrealised profits on those interest rate derivatives where the Group was receiving fixed Australian dollar interest and losses on the currency derivatives due to the weakening Australian dollar versus most of the currencies in the Group’s overseas operations.
Goodman’s policy is to hedge between 65% and 90% of the net assets of these foreign operations. Where Goodman invests in foreign assets, it will borrow in that currency or enter into derivative financial instruments to create a similar liability. In so doing, Goodman minimises its net asset and income exposures to those currencies. The unrealised fair value movement of the derivative financial instruments (up or down) is recorded in the income statement; however, the foreign currency translation of the net investment that is being hedged is recorded directly in reserves. In FY19, the movement in reserves attributable to foreign currency movements was a gain of $170 million, which reflected an increase in the carrying value of the overseas net assets when converted to Australian dollars.
Other non‑cash adjustments or non‑recurring items The principal other non‑cash adjustments or non‑recurring items for FY19 related to the share based payments expense of $196.6 million for Goodman’s LTIP, up from $125.6 million in FY18, primarily a result of the increasing Goodman security price.

The carrying value of wholly owned, stabilised investment properties increased by $132.1 million to $1,756.4 million at 30 June 2019. This was primarily due to valuation uplifts of $146.8 million during the year.
Annual Report 2019
35
The value of Goodman’s cornerstone investments in Partnerships, which excludes the Group’s share of development assets in the Partnerships, increased by $833.9 million to $6,920.4 million, due to the valuation uplifts across the portfolios, the Group’s funding of its share of development completions and the impact of foreign currency translation.
Goodman’s development holdings, which include the Group’s share of development assets in the Partnerships as well as the directly held properties, increased during the year by $998.2 million to $2,991.8 million. The overall level of development activity trended higher during FY19, with growth in Asia and the Americas, leading to the end value of development WIP of $4.1 billion at 30 June 2019 (2018: $3.6 billion). This is likely to increase further in FY20, with other high value projects in the pipeline.
The majority of development activity is undertaken by the Partnerships themselves and therefore the Group’s development holdings at 30 June 2019 were at a similar level to the prior year. This was also impacted by further progress in rotating the longer dated land banks in the United Kingdom, that no longer fit with the Group’s strategic focus on locations close to urban centres.
At 30 June 2019, the principal goodwill and intangible asset balances were in Continental Europe and the United Kingdom. The movement during FY19 related to changes in foreign currency exchange rates and there have been no impairments or reversals of impairments.
The Group’s cash and interest bearing liabilities should be considered together. On a net basis, the liability was $1,367.9 million at 30 June 2019 compared to $674.7 million at 30 June 2018. The increased liability related to the funding of development activity in the Group’s Partnerships and the impact of foreign currency translation on the USD, JPY and EUR denominated borrowings.
Other assets included certain receivables and derivative financial instruments. The movements during FY19 related to increases in receivables associated with performance related income that is expected to be settled in FY20.
Other liabilities included trade and other payables, the provision for the dividends/distributions to Securityholders, fair values of derivative financial instruments and tax liabilities (including deferred tax). The movement during the year was a result of changes in the fair values of derivatives, increased development payable and increased tax liabilities.

Operating cash flows of $827.5 million has decreased relative to the prior year and is lower compared to the Group’s operating profit of $942.3 million.
FY18 included settlements associated with large development projects in Continental Europe that were funded by Goodman through to completion and had been in progress at 30 June 2017. The timing of development completions relative to the reporting date generally has a significant impact on overall operating cash flows. Furthermore, the distributions received from Partnerships in FY19 were lower than the prior year due to the asset disposals and also capital management initiatives by Partnerships. This was partially offset by the increase in management income received.
When compared against the operating profit, the lower operating cash flow is due to the capital management initiatives by Partnerships, referred to above, and also the growth in contract assets that are only due to be settled in FY20.
Investing cash flows in FY19 primarily related to the net investments in Goodman’s Partnerships of $797.2 million (2018: $571.1 million, excluding proceeds from the disposal of Arlington Business Parks Partnership). This investment occurred principally in Japan and North America to fund the development activity in those Partnerships. This is likely to be a continued theme in respect of the Partnerships with the level of development expected to increase in FY20.
In FY18, net investing cash outflows were only $26.5 million, as Goodman also received proceeds of $668.1 million from disposals of investment properties in Australia and the Group’s investment in Arlington Business Parks Partnership. Other investing cash outflows related to capital expenditure on the Group’s directly held investment properties of $94.5 million (2018: $118.1 million).
Financing cash flows include the drawdowns and repayments associated with Goodman’s interest bearing liabilities. The principal financing cash outflows were the distributions paid to Securityholders and the repayment of the GBP denominated bonds at their maturity.
Annual Report 2019
37
Outlook
For FY20, business conditions, as they relate to Goodman’s operations, are expected to remain favourable and Goodman is strategically well placed given its financial and operational strength. The Board sets targets annually and reviews them regularly. As a result, the Group expects to achieve operating profit for FY20 of $1,040.0 million, which equates to operating EPS of 56.3 cents, up 9% on FY19. The increase in operating profit is anticipated from each of the Group’s earning streams, subject to there being no material adverse change in market conditions or the occurrence of other unforeseen events. Total AUM are expected to increase to over $50 billion, resulting in growth in property investment and management earnings, while the commencement of high value developments in Asia and Americas will see WIP approaching $5 billion.
In order for the Group to fund the anticipated increase in the capital allocated to development activities, including funding its share of investment in Partnerships, and to keep the Group’s financial leverage at the lower end of the policy range, the Directors intend to hold the distribution at 30 cents per security for FY20 subject to achieving the anticipated profits. This will be maintained until the Group’s distribution pay‑out ratio has been transitioned closer to 50%. Thereafter, the distribution is expected to increase in line with the Group’s operating profit.
Further information as to other likely developments in the operations of Goodman and the expected results of those operations in future financial years has not been included in this Directors’ report because disclosure of the information would be likely to result in unreasonable prejudice to Goodman.

Risks
Goodman identifies strategic and operational risks for each of its regions as part of its strategy process. The key risks, an assessment of their likelihood of occurrence and consequences and controls that are in place to mitigate the risks are reported to the Board annually.
Goodman has established formal systems and processes to manage the risks at each stage of its decision making process. This is facilitated by a Group Investment Committee comprising senior executives, chaired by the Group Chief Executive Officer, which considers all major operational decisions and transactions. The Group Investment Committee meets on a weekly basis.
The Board has separate committees to review and assess key risks. The Risk and Compliance Committee reviews and monitors a range of material risks in Goodman’s risk management systems including, among other risks, market risks, operational risks, sustainability, regulation and compliance and information technology. The Audit Committee reviews and monitors financial risk management and tax policies.

REMUNERATION REPORT – AUDITED
Dear Securityholders,
On behalf of the Board, we are pleased to present the 2019 remuneration report. It outlines Goodman’s remuneration strategy and the changes we have made following stakeholder feedback. Goodman’s remuneration framework is integral to attracting and retaining high quality professionals with local expertise, who develop businesses and relationships globally and drive Goodman’s long‑term success. It is integral to the exceptional results delivered for Securityholders.
Performance
It has been another strong year of performance for the Group, following ten years of outperforming its peer group locally and globally.

- Goodman TSR does not assume re‑investment of distributions.
Key highlights include:
-
- TSR of 59.4% in 2019 and 223.4% over the past five years (outperforming the major local and global indices;
-
- for FY19, statutory profit of $1.6 billion (+48.2%) and operating profit of $942.3 million (+11.4%), both materially ahead of targets; and
-
- in FY19, $3.8 billion of valuation growth across the platform (+10% on assets valued) and assets under management (AUM) up 21% to $46.2 billion, and development work in progress (WIP) up 14% to $4.1 billion.
Remuneration approach
The Group’s remuneration is determined through a bottom up assessment of the region, business unit and the individual. The framework is focused on:
-
- influencing long‑term decision making and collaboration across business units and
-
- international operations;
-
- delivering superior Group performance on both a short‑term and long‑term basis; and
-
- managing risk appropriately and reinforcing the Group’s cultural values and behaviour as guided by its Code of Conduct.
We have taken a consistent and long‑standing approach to remuneration. It is a partnership approach where the long‑term returns of the Group are shared between Securityholders and Goodman’s people.
Annual Report 2019
45
Our people are largely based outside Australia, and as we focus on creating the right culture, the right perspective and long‑term performance, we use a structure that can be effective and understood across our global workforce. Remuneration is concentrated on long‑term equity‑based rewards. Aligning ALL people at Goodman with Securityholders through the Group’s remuneration policy has added significant value to Goodman. It has been a critical differentiator in generating and rewarding that long‑term performance and retaining our people in a highly competitive global environment.
FY20 remuneration changes
Following the advisory vote against our remuneration report at last year’s Annual General Meeting, the Board has engaged with investors and other stakeholders, including proxy advisors, to better understand their concerns and collate feedback on potential areas of improvement on Goodman’s remuneration policy and framework as well as our remuneration report. These discussions indicated that while the overall principles of the Group’s remuneration strategy are well supported, a number of improvements should be made to increase transparency and rigour around the remuneration structure.
In response to this, the Board has made changes to the remuneration structure and disclosures while retaining the core principles and structure of the plan. The key areas of improvement are covered in more detail in section 1.1 and include:
-
- Incorporating additional disclosures in support of variable remuneration
-
- Changing the operating earnings per security (EPS) hurdle under the Long Term Incentive Plan (LTIP) to an Operating EPS hurdle range over the three years that is set at the time of each grant. This is to give more transparency around performance expectations with graduated vesting over the range
-
- Further explaining of the rationale for the use of Goodman’s operating profit in determining remuneration outcomes
The Board believes that these substantive improvements will enhance transparency, sustain continued focus on long‑term performance and provide a fair and equitable allocation of rewards between Securityholders and Goodman’s people over the long term.
The retention of talent is critical for the long term and is increasingly challenging as opportunistic competitors seek to recruit Goodman’s high‑performing teams. The Group’s remuneration policy plays a critical role in helping to ensure that the Group has the right human resources to deliver our strategy and drive performance for all stakeholders.
We will continue to engage in an open and meaningful dialogue with Securityholders and other stakeholders to enhance understanding of our policy and its contribution to Goodman’s performance as well as our understanding of Securityholder concerns and local and global market practices. We hope we can rely on your support at our 2019 Annual General Meeting in November.
Yours sincerely,

1. SUMMARY OF CHANGES TO REMUNERATION
1.1 Summary of changes to remuneration
The table below details the key components of the remuneration structure reviewed by the Board for FY20 and the rationale for the outcome:
==> picture [528 x 402] intentionally omitted <==
----- Start of picture text -----
Area reviewed Change Rationale More
information
LTIP Operating EPS performance YES Performance rights assessed under the Operating EPS hurdle to Section 1.2
hurdle (see section 1.2) remain at a weighting of 75%. However, for FY20 and future grants,
testing criteria will change. For the FY20 grant:
+ the Board will set an Operating EPS hurdle to grow Operating
EPS to a range of outcomes between Threshold level and Upper
level over the three year testing period.
+ 25% of performance rights will satisfy the hurdle at the Threshold
level and 100% will satisfy the hurdle at the Upper level, with a
sliding scale of vesting for outcomes between this range.
+ the Operating EPS range will be set with reference a number
of factors including market indices, global forecasts and
the economic environment to ensure they are competitive
and challenging but allow Goodman to maintain appropriate
risk settings.
This improves the existing system by:
+ formalising the required growth rates over the entire testing period
at the time of grant; and
+ removing “cliff vesting” by providing for graduated vesting on a
straight‑line basis where 25% of LTIP satisfy the hurdle at the
Threshold level and 100% at the Upper level.
LTIP TSR performance hurdle NO Performance rights assessed under the relative TSR hurdle remain at Section 3.1
a weighting of 25%.
TSR impacts the value of all performance rights, which is the primary
form of remuneration. Therefore, the impact of the 25% weighting
to TSR is understated in relation to the overall alignment with
Securityholders.
TSR (through growth in the value of securities) provides an effective
check against increasing risk practices within the Group as the
security price will reflect the market perceived risk of the Group.
Peer group for relative TSR is to remain the S&P/ASX 100, which
correlates with the majority of our investors’ benchmarks relevant to
security holdings.
LTIP testing and vesting period NO Testing period remains three years. Vesting of performance rights will Section 3.1
still occur in three equal tranches shortly after years 3, 4 and 5.

information
LTIP – cliff vesting YES The three year testing range provides for graduated vesting; 25% at Section 3.1
the Threshold Level and 100% at the Upper level.
Operating EPS calculation NO Operating EPS will continue to be based on the Group’s operating Section 3.2
profit as consistently defined by the Board.
Short‑term incentive (STI) YES Increased disclosure for individual executive key management Section 4.8
disclosure personnel (KMP) regarding achievements across financial and
non‑financial items.
Perception that STI and YES Requirements for awarding of STI and testing of performance rights Section 3.1
long‑term incentive (LTI) use the are distinctly different. For any individual STI awards to be granted,
same metrics two gates must be achieved first: (1) meeting Goodman behavioural
expectation per the Code of Conduct; and (2) achieving Operating
EPS based on the annual forecast.
The Board intends to continue to announce an annual forecast
Operating EPS each year with the release of the full year results.
LTIP vesting is based on a range of outcomes using Operating
EPS and TSR performance hurdles tested over three years
(discussed above).
LTI cap NO The number of performance rights outstanding under the LTIP Section 3.1 and 6.2
is capped at 5% of total issued securities and covers the entire
employee population globally. As performance rights vest over 5
years, this effectively limits annual grants to an average of 1% of
total issued securities per annum. For FY20 awards, the number
of performance rights intended to be issued has reduced by 33%
compared to the prior year’s award, primarily reflecting the increase
in security price over the past year,
Under the new performance measures, the three year Operating
EPS hurdle must be met after allowing for full dilution resulting from
securities issued through vesting and those to be issued as a result
of testing over the measurement period.
Quantum assessment YES The Board uses local and global labour market comparators, more Section 3.5
relevant to the competitive nature of our global workforce, including
reference to S&P/ASX companies with global operations, private
equity, fund managers and developers. The number of performance
rights declined significantly.
STI cap NO STI will remain capped at 150% of fixed remuneration for executive Section 6.1
KMP, with 50% deferred 12 months.

1.2 Establishing performance hurdles
For FY20 awards under the LTIP, the Board has introduced an Operating EPS performance hurdle range for testing performance rights. This improves the current performance hurdle by:
-
- formalising the required growth rates over the entire testing period at the time of grant; and
-
- providing for graduated vesting on a straight‑line basis where 25% of performance rights satisfy the hurdle at the Threshold level and 100% at Upper level.
The hurdle range is for the purpose of remuneration only, specifically the testing criteria for vesting of performance rights. The range does not constitute earnings guidance for the Group.
The Board has set an Operating EPS performance hurdle of growing Operating EPS from the FY19 result of 51.6 cents to between 61.4cents (Threshold level) and 66.8cents (Upper level) in FY22. At the Threshold level, 25% satisfy the hurdle with a sliding scale up to 100% satisfying the hurdle at the Upper level. This range is equivalent to between 6% and 9% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) in Operating EPS or approximately 19% to 30% over the three year testing period.
-
- the average rate of EPS growth from other large Australian companies and REITs is in the order of 2% to 4% per annum based on a range of broker estimates; and
-
- the desire to achieve a sustainable long‑term growth rate that is robust and competitive with the market on a risk adjusted basis, reflecting the low financial leverage of Goodman and other risk settings. Increasing hurdles to unsustainable levels based on current risk parameters will encourage riskier behaviour, inconsistent with an acceptable tolerance and framework. This could potentially lead to lower quality earnings and adversely affect the intent of the LTIP.
The Board also notes that the range is set for the entire period of the grant and hence performance must be achieved regardless of changes to business conditions globally. Management and other employees carry the risk associated with external factors negatively impacting Operating EPS.
Importantly, the Operating EPS performance hurdle calculation includes all securities issued under the LTIP through the testing period and the additional tested (but not vested) performance rights.
The Board believe the hurdle is:
-
- competitive with the market and peer groups;
-
- challenging for management; and
The range has been set with reference to:
-
- appropriate in the context of the current business risk settings.
-
- the range of potential opportunities for the Group globally;
-
- the long‑run historical performance of the Group;
-
- the global economic environment, noting that the current rate of inflation in Australia and the major markets in which Goodman operates globally is around 2% and the current 10 year rate of interest on government securities in Australia and most major markets is below 2% per annum;

STI outcomes
-
- Key performance indicators (KPIs) for the executive KMPs are aligned with sustainable delivery of financial, environmental and strategic results to Securityholders.

-
- Executive KMP (excluding Group CEO) average STI as a % of maximum was 89%.
-
- Executive KMP (excluding Group CEO) STI increased slightly compared to FY18 primarily due to the outperformance of the Operating EPS target.

3. REMUNERATION PHILOSOPHY AND LINK TO BUSINESS STRATEGY
Goodman is a globally diversified real estate fund manager and one of the largest listed industrial property groups globally with 68% of earnings outside Australia and 72% of earnings from active development and management businesses. Consequently, Goodman’s remuneration structure has some key differences from the Australian market. This reflects the requirements of the labour market we are competing in globally, not just Australia, and the objective of aligning multiple regional businesses and operational segments with Group performance outcomes.
The Board:
-
- encourages management to take a long‑term strategic rather than opportunistic approach to the Group’s property and investment management businesses as it can take significant time to create value;
-
- has overlaid the operational, financial and human strategy focused on this process in order to create long‑term sustainable returns; and
-
- focuses on cash profit as the most tangible means of measuring long‑term value creation for Securityholders.
Given the cyclical nature of real estate, incentive structures within real estate businesses are highly outcome driven (particularly private equity real estate managers where the majority of institutional assets reside). The Group’s remuneration framework is therefore focused on influencing long‑term decision making and collaboration across business units and international operations to derive sustainable outcomes. This may result in capital and resource allocations shifting over time, which are aimed to deliver the best risk adjusted returns overall, at the
expense of one part of the business and to the benefit of another. This requires collaboration across regions and divisions and long‑term thinking which is encouraged by the Group’s remuneration structure.
The Board annually considers remuneration with a three to five year view. It considers how the performance of the Group has been influenced by the decisions over the last three to five years and how it expects the business to perform over the next three to five years. It is not solely an exercise in reviewing a single year. This drives several key principles of remuneration at Goodman:
-
- focus on LTI as the predominant source of pay for performance. All employees are eligible to receive LTI grants as a material component of remuneration (see section 4.7), ensuring alignment and reward with Securityholders across the Group;
-
- focus on cash profits as the primary testing measure for grants. This aligns the deliverable outcomes of all employees globally with Goodman’s aspirations of long‑term cash flow growth, resilience and sustainability (see section 3.2);
-
- collaboration to achieve Group‑wide targets across regions and business units; and
-
- a culture of ownership, inclusion and alignment.
The Board believes the success of Goodman is primarily due to the depth of talent globally executing a strategy that requires strong collaboration and the culture of inclusion created by the LTIP. The Board believes that Goodman’s LTIP is unique in the Australian market.
Our human capital is therefore critical to the continued success of our business over the next five years. The retention of people is critical for the long term and is increasingly challenging as opportunistic competitors seek to recruit Goodman’s teams.

3.2 Operating EPS
The Group provides Statutory profit disclosure in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, including all required specific disclosures. The Board believes that managing the business on what is primarily a cash profit basis is fundamental to long‑term cash flow and is the strongest determinant of value creation over time. That is the intent of the operating profit definition. The measure has been consistently applied for 14 years.
-
- Operating profit intentionally excludes non‑cash measures which can lead to anomalies over time and which may cause structural cash and liquidity mismatches. In the past, the Group has excluded significant cash realised profits (such as the urban renewal realisation gains) where these were believed to be cyclical in nature and not reflective of long‑term earnings. The measure represents a key link between the impactable operational outcomes at an individual level and the overall outcomes which create Securityholder value for the Group, directly reflected in Operating EPS measures.
-
- It is important as a transparent driver of employee behaviour in all aspects of the business from location selection, to quality of product, dealings with partners and financial leverage among other things. This aims to drive long‑term capital and human resources decisions without adding volatility.
-
- Outcomes for employees through the LTIP and equity performance are directly aligned with the long‑term cash profit growth of the business on a per security basis, which is believed to be the real driver of performance.
In addition, the proposed three year hurdle will account for any dilution over the three years through successful testing of prior year grants. This is because the Operating EPS hurdle range must be met allowing for all securities vested during the three year period and securities tested but unvested in year 3 in the weighted average securities calculation.
The share based payments (SBP) expense reflects the amortisation of the aggregated fair value applicable to outstanding performance rights grants. It is disclosed and expensed in our statutory accounts per the accounting standards. Like other non‑cash items (such as revaluations), SBP are excluded from our operating profit. Importantly for Securityholders, the Board believes that SBP:
-
- have no impact on Securityholder value until they vest;
-
- do not reflect the cost of the plan to Securityholders or the true value to employees; and
-
- increase volatility and decrease earnings transparency on a short term basis depending on movements in security price, subjective assessments and other valuation parameters.
Prior to vesting, performance rights have no entitlement to income or net assets, therefore no dilution to Securityholders.
-
- the financial impact of the performance rights occurs only when securities are issued through the dilution impact at the time of issuance and future EPS dilution;
-
- this only occurs if testing / vesting criteria are passed and by extension, the Group’s performance has achieved / exceeded performance criteria;
-
- not all performance rights necessarily vest;
-
- following successful testing at year three, only one third of the tested performance rights vest. The remainder have no rights until they vest, following the end of years four and five; and
-
- Goodman includes all tested performance rights (even those which have been tested but have not vested) in the denominator when calculating Operating EPS. The Board considers this to be conservative.

3.3 When is remuneration earned and received?
The Group CEO’s performance based pay for FY19 performance will be 100% awarded in the form of an LTI grant (to be made post the Annual General Meeting in November 2019 subject to Securityholder approval) that will be tested in future periods. This means the Group CEO must achieve performance goals over a period of three years to qualify for performance based pay. Vesting then occurs in equal tranches after years three to five. However, there is no certainty of vesting and the final outcome is dependent on the movement in the security price over the next five years.
A significant proportion (69‑78%) of the executive KMP (excluding Group CEO) performance based pay for FY19 will also be delivered in the form of performance rights. The chart below illustrates the Group’s remuneration component and timing of receipt, noting that the Group CEO is not receiving an STI for FY19.

3.5 Peer group and quantum assessment
Goodman is the 14th largest entity listed on the ASX, and a member of the S&P/ASX 20 index. The Group has limited direct comparable real estate market peers in Australia, with it having operating businesses in five continents and 17 countries, each with market driven remuneration outcomes. It is not just a collection of domestic assets like most Australian REITs. The Group’s 959 staff are mostly offshore, and consequently Goodman competes for labour in an international market. When assessing the quantum of remuneration awards the Board considers:
Goodman’s Partnerships include a far greater volume of assets and revenues than those shown in Goodman’s financial statements. Employees manage and create value in respect of $46 billion of assets globally, generated a combined statutory profit of $5 billion in FY19 and construct around $4 billion of new development product per annum. The performance and returns from this manifest in Group performance which flows through to remuneration.
-
- 72% of earnings are from management and development activities which require more intensive day to day activity than a passive investment portfolio;
-
- the Group provides its customers and partners with investment management, asset management, development, financial, transaction and capital management services in the listed and private equity capital markets globally; and
-
- 68% of earnings are generated in international markets and 80% of employees are situated offshore.

Private equity managers were also considered for comparison, particularly with respect to the nature of pay for performance remuneration structures in those types of enterprises.
The assessment and presentation of the allocations of SBP awards in the table above use face value metrics, as is market practice. That is, no discount is applied to SBP for vesting risk or time value of money. The Board has considered the total remuneration noting its determination that the Group CEO will continue not to participate in the STI award, and 91% of his remuneration for FY19 performance will be taken in the form of at‑risk performance rights. This means that the Group CEO may not receive any incentive in respect of his performance for FY19 if the Group does not meet its performance hurdles under the LTIP over the next three years. Furthermore, the award will be subject to Goodman’s security price performance over the next five years. In the Board’s opinion, this results in a more significant at‑risk element to the Group CEO’s remuneration compared to other ASX listed companies.

Annual Report 2019

4.2 Long‑term results
In addition to the FY19 results, performance has been demonstrated over many years through specific actions of the Board and management including:
-
- $21 billion in Securityholder value generated over five years;
-
- significant reduction in financial leverage (gearing) since 2009 from 47.9% to 9.7%;
-
- diversification of the Group’s sources of debt and tenor;
-
- increased quality of the property portfolio through over $15 billion asset sales since 2013 and concentrating the portfolio in predominantly urban infill markets;
-
- reduced operational leverage through partnering of development activity, reducing volatility of earnings but increasing return on assets (ROA). The impact of increased development within the Partnerships has increased their returns and also the prospects for performance fees in the medium to longer term;
-
- significant sales of assets that were reconfigured for higher and better residential use. On these transactions, the substantial profit was not included in operating profit despite being cash realised gains as they were believed to be over and above the usual course of business;
-
- conservative pay‑out ratio to retain funding for growing development demand; and
-
- the focus on growing operating profit, which mirrors cash profit, has strengthened alignment with actual and realised returns.
4.3 Code of Conduct
The manner in which employees conduct themselves is crucial to the success of the Group.
Goodman has consistent and transparent practices in place for managing non‑compliance with policies and the approach to risk guides the way all employees are expected to conduct themselves.
Within the Code of Conduct there is a set of eight guiding principles that encourage employees to uphold Goodman’s reputation and behave appropriately in dealing with our customers and other team members. Employees are assessed continually against these principles. The guiding principles are:
-
- Act in a professional manner
-
- Work as a team and respect others
-
- Treat stakeholders fairly
-
- Value honesty and integrity
-
- Follow the law and our policies
-
- Respect confidentiality and do not misuse information
-
- Manage conflicts of interest
-
- Strive to be a great team member
The Board also believes that ownership through the LTIP embeds a culture of inclusion and sense of place in Goodman.
While assessment is continual, the Code of Conduct is a gate for individuals being eligible to receive a STI at the time of assessment. The Board believes this is an absolute requirement and hence applying a percentage to the measure is less effective.
The proportional impact of this measure on STI can be anything from 0%–100%, as any breach of the code can have levels of severity ranging from cessation of employment to minor performance issues which can be managed and rectified and may require varying levels of financial impact, training and/ or personal development.

The key financial metrics which are aligned with the Group’s strategy, long‑term performance and STI and LTI programmes for all employees are Operating EPS and TSR. CAGR in Operating EPS over the past five years has been 8.2%, which has exceeded the forecasts and therefore the hurdles. This has been achieved while at the same time gearing has been reduced.

4.6 Group CEO remuneration and Goodman performance outcomes
The charts below demonstrate the performance of the Group and various key metrics relative to the Group CEO’s vested remuneration outcomes in FY19 and prior years. Vested remuneration is often considered by stakeholders as it represents the value that is actually received by the KMP during the year. It includes fixed base pay, STI and the value of performance rights that vested during the year, using the closing Goodman security price on the day of vesting.
The charts illustrate significant alignment of Group CEO remuneration outcomes and the key metrics for testing and vesting of performance rights. Significant operating profit growth, security price growth and consequently TSR for Securityholders, correlate with increased Group CEO remuneration. Importantly Group CEO vested remuneration as a proportion of TSR (shown in the chart below) and statutory profit has continued to decline, indicating that the Securityholders have experienced a more than proportionate benefit from the Group’s performance relative to the Group CEO.

4.7 Remuneration mix alignment across the Group
The Board believes that the alignment between pay and long‑term performance is evidenced by the significant portion of at‑risk remuneration for the Group CEO, the other executive KMP and the organisation as a whole, that is in the form of LTI.
In FY19:
-
- 91% of the Group CEO vested remuneration was in the form of LTI, reflecting consistent growth in Operating EPS and security price over the period

----- End of picture text -----
-
- 74% of the executive KMP vested remuneration (on average) was in the form of LTI
-
- around 36% of all other employees’ vested remuneration excluding executive KMP (on average) was in the form of LTI.
Future remuneration outcomes will depend on the Group achieving its hurdles over the long term and the security price.
The at‑risk portion of remuneration (FY19 STI and performance rights vested in FY19) as a proportion of total remuneration for the Group CEO, other executive KMP and remainder of employees, is illustrated in the charts overleaf. They show strong alignment between Securityholders and all employees.

4.9 LTI Grants in FY20 in relation to FY19 performance
The remuneration awards made by the Board in respect of the executive KMP performance in FY19 comprise fixed remuneration, STI and awards under the LTIP that will be made in FY20. As discussed in section 3.1, these performance rights will be tested over FY20‑FY22. The vesting of those performance rights that achieve the performance hurdles will occur in equal tranches in September 2022, September 2023 and September 2024. The minimum vesting percentage is 0% if hurdles are not met.
Performance rights proposed to be awarded to the Group CEO have decreased 44% compared to the grant made in November 2018.
In determining its intended award of performance rights, the Board has considered the face value for each executive KMP. This assumes 100% vesting and therefore represents the maximum value. It does not take into account the risk of achieving the performance hurdles and that performance rights have no entitlement to distributions over the vesting period.

The face values of grants have been determined using the Goodman security price at 30 June 2019 of $15.03 (FY19 based on the security price at grant date).
For the Group, the maximum securities issuable under the proposed grants of performance rights to all employees, have decreased by 33% compared with the awards made during FY19. This primarily reflects the strong security price appreciation over the past 12 months.

4.10 STI outcomes
The Board has again determined that the Group CEO will not participate in the STI award, despite the significant outperformance of the Group compared to its benchmarks and peer groups. In line with continued focus on sustained long‑term performance, all performance based remuneration relating to the Group CEO’s FY19 performance will be awarded in the form of LTI. The other executive KMP STI outcomes are up slightly on FY18, reflecting the exceptional performance across the Group. These on average reflect 89% of maximum possible STI and are individually detailed below.

4.11 Historical LTI grant outcomes
Performance rights are granted on an annual basis, are tested over three years and vest in three equal tranches shortly after the third, fourth and fifth anniversary of the grant. Testing as at 30 June 2019 was completed for the grants of performance rights made to executive KMP in FY17 (these awards were in respect of executive KMP performance in FY16). The FY17 grants had two hurdles: Operating EPS and a relative TSR, both measured over the three years ended 30 June 2019.
The mechanics of the testing are detailed in section 6.2. The first tranche of the FY17 grants will vest in September 2019, the second tranche will vest in September 2020 and the third tranche in September 2021.
Operating EPS hurdle (75% weighting)
The Operating EPS is calculated by dividing operating profit by the weighted average number of securities on issue adjusted to include all performance rights which have passed the testing criteria, even though they are not yet vested (issued) to account for potential EPS dilution. Operating EPS growth for the three year period to 30 June 2019 (allowing for dilution of all securities issued during the period and securities tested but not vested) was 28.7%. This compared to a cumulative three year hurdle of 20.2%.

----- End of picture text -----
As a results of achieving the Operating EPS hurdle, a total of 14,338,500 performance rights will vest in September 2019, September 2020 and September 2021.
Relative TSR (25% weighting)
TSR provides an effective check against increasing risk practices within the Group, as the price to earnings multiple will reflect the perceived risk in the Group.
Relative TSR is measured against the S&P/ASX 100 peer group. Vesting applies a sliding scale: + 0% vests up to and including the 50th percentile; and + vesting of 50% starts at the 51st percentile on a sliding scale with 100% vesting at the 76th percentile.
Goodman posted a three year TSR of 123.2% to 30 June 2019, compared with the S&P/ASX100 Index performance of 44.7%. The ranked Goodman in the 94th percentile and consequently 100% of these performance rights vested.

5. GROUP CEO REMUNERATION OUTCOMES
5.1 Group CEO – vested outcomes
The table below details the vested remuneration over the past five years for the Group CEO. The numbers in this table differ from the statutory disclosure in section 7 primarily due to the differences in the measurement and timing of recognition in respect of performance rights issued under the LTIP. The below figures show the base salary received by the Group CEO in the respective year plus the value of performance rights which vested during that year at the closing price on the day the performance rights vested.
The table highlights:
-
- no change in fixed remuneration over the period;
-
- the proportion of remuneration from fixed (cash) salary has continued to decline; and
-
- significant growth in value of LTI from grant date to the vesting date due to the increase in security price (average 86% for grants vesting in FY19).

6.2 LTI parameters
The LTIP is an at‑risk equity plan that is open to all permanent employees to create alignment with the interests of Securityholders over the long term.
-
- No value is derived from LTI unless cumulative performance hurdles of Operating EPS and relative TSR are met or exceeded, and performance rights have no entitlement to income or assets until they vest.
-
- However, when performance achieves or exceeds long‑term targets and performance rights vest, LTI represents the majority of remuneration for the executive KMP and is a material component of remuneration for all participating employees.

What is the maximum LTI When considering the overall size of LTI awards, the Board also considers the number of securities

issued under the LTIP are capped at 5% of issued capital with vesting of approximately 1% per
annum, assuming all hurdles are met and all employees remain employed. The Board considers
the performance of the Group in comparison with the comparator group, the amount of overall
operating profit, the competitive nature of the global labour markets where we operate and the value
of the team in the local and global market place, as appropriate.

The Board believes that the commercial decisions Goodman makes in fulfilment of its overall
financial objectives are best reflected in two key indicators: Operating EPS and relative TSR.
Operating EPS is a critical measure of long‑term global performance (see section 3.2).
The hurdles are set to be competitive and challenging relative to external and internal historical and
prospective reference points (see section 1.2).
TSR provides an effective check against increasing risk practices within the Group i.e. the security

EPS targets.

8. NON‑EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR REMUNERATION
8.1 Key elements of the Non‑Executive Director remuneration policy
-
- The policy is structured to ensure independence of judgement in the performance of their duties.
-
- Non‑Executive Directors receive fixed fees for being on the Board and additional fees for membership of committees.
-
- The fees take into account the size and scope of Goodman’s activities and the responsibilities and experience of the Directors. Periodically, these fees are benchmarked against data for comparable entities provided by external advisers.
-
- As approved by Securityholders at the 2006 Annual General Meeting, total remuneration (including superannuation) payable by Goodman to all Non‑Executive Directors in aggregate must not exceed $2.5 million per annum. For the current financial year, total Non‑Executive Directors’ remuneration was $2.1 million (2018: $2.2 million).
-
- The decrease in Non‑Executive Director fees compared to the prior financial year was due to the change in composition of the Board, partly offset by the full year impact of the increase in Board fees (excluding Board committee fees) that occurred from 1 January 2018.
-
- Non‑Executive Directors are not entitled to participate in any STI or LTI schemes as they may be perceived to create a bias when overseeing executive decision making.
-
- The Board has a policy, set out in the Directors’ Securities Acquisition Plan, for Non‑Executive Directors to accumulate a significant long‑term holding of Goodman securities so that they have an alignment of interests with those of Securityholders. Under the policy, each Non‑Executive Director is required to acquire securities such that their holding is equal in value to twice their annual base fees. The value of securities for this purpose equals the higher of purchase cost or market value at the end of each financial year. This holding may be acquired at any time but where not held at the beginning of a financial year, the policy is for 25% of base fees (net of tax) during the financial year to be applied to the on‑market purchase of securities.

-
The fair value was determined at grant date and calculated using a combination of the standard Black Scholes model with a continuous dividend/distribution yield and a Monte Carlo model which simulated total returns for each of the ASX 100 entities and discounted the future value of any potential future vesting performance rights to arrive at a present value.
-
As performance rights had an exercise price of $nil, Goodman securities were automatically issued to employees when the performance rights vested. Accordingly, the percentage of performance rights that vested during the financial year equalled the percentage of securities issued during the financial year.
-
The value of performance rights vested was calculated using the closing price of a Goodman security on the ASX of $10.56 on 3 September 2018, the day the performance rights vested.
-
As Goodman securities were automatically issued to employees when the performance rights vested, and lapsed where they failed to do so, the vesting date was also deemed to be the expiry date.

10,715,420 4,143,281 |
- The number of performance rights at the date of this Directors’ report is net of any rights forfeited and excludes 11,612,151 performance rights where the intention is to cash settle.
All performance rights expire on the earliest of: (1) their expiry date; (2) the day that vesting conditions become incapable of satisfaction or are determined by the Board to not be satisfied; or (3) following the termination of the employee’s employment (other than in the event of special circumstances).
Hedging of unvested performance rights
The Board’s policy set out in the Securities Trading Policy is that executives and other employees may not enter into any arrangement to limit their exposure to risk in relation to unvested performance rights, options or securities issued under an employee incentive plan. In accordance with their terms of employment, executives are required to comply with Goodman’s policies. The Corporations Act 2001 also expressly prohibits executive KMP from hedging unvested remuneration.

Directors’ report (continued)
Environmental regulations
Goodman has policies and procedures to identify and appropriately address environmental obligations that might arise in respect of Goodman’s operations that are subject to significant environmental laws and regulation. The Directors have determined that Goodman has complied with those obligations during the financial year and that there has not been any material breach.
Declaration by the Group Chief Executive Officer and Group Chief Financial Officer
The Group Chief Executive Officer and Group Chief Financial Officer declared in writing to the Board that, in their opinion, the financial records of Goodman for the year ended 30 June 2019 have been properly maintained and the financial report for the year ended 30 June 2019 complies with accounting standards and presents a true and fair view of Goodman’s financial condition and operational results. The Group Chief Executive Officer and Group Chief Financial Officer confirmed that the above declaration was, to the best of their knowledge and belief, founded on a sound system of risk management and internal control and that the system was operating effectively in all material respects in relation to the financial reporting risks.
Disclosure in respect of any indemnification and insurance of officers and auditors
Pursuant to the Constitution of Goodman, current and former directors and officers of Goodman are entitled to be indemnified. Deeds of Indemnity have been executed by Goodman, consistent with the Constitution, in favour of each Director. The Deed indemnifies each Director to the extent permitted by law for liabilities (other than legal costs) incurred in their capacity as a director of Goodman or a controlled entity and, in respect of legal costs, for liabilities incurred in defending or resisting civil or criminal proceedings.
Non‑audit services
During the financial year, KPMG, Goodman and GIT’s auditor, performed certain other services in addition to the audit and review of the financial statements.
The Board has considered the non‑audit services provided during the financial year by the auditor and, in accordance with written advice authorised by a resolution of the Audit Committee, resolved that it is satisfied that the provision of those non‑audit services during the financial year by the auditor is compatible with, and did not compromise, the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 for the following reasons:
-
- all non‑audit services were subject to the corporate governance procedures adopted by Goodman and have been reviewed by the Audit Committee to determine they do not impact the integrity and objectivity of the auditor; and
-
- the non‑audit services provided do not undermine the general principles relating to auditor independence as set out in APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants, as they did not involve reviewing or auditing the auditor’s own work, acting in a management or decision making capacity for Goodman, acting as an advocate for Goodman or jointly sharing risks and rewards.
Details of the amounts paid to the auditor of Goodman and GIT, KPMG and its network firms, for the audit and non‑audit services provided during the financial year are set out in note 23 to the consolidated financial statements.
Lead auditor’s independence declaration under section 307C of the Corporations Act 2001
The lead auditor’s independence declaration is set out on page 87 and forms part of this Directors’ report for the financial year.
Goodman has insured to the extent permitted by law, current and former directors and officers of Goodman in respect of liability and legal expenses incurred in their capacity as a director or officer. As it is prohibited under the terms of the contract of insurance, the Directors have not included details of the nature of the liabilities covered or the amount of the premiums paid.
The auditors of Goodman are not indemnified by Goodman or covered in any way by this insurance in respect of the audit.

Directors’ report (continued)
Rounding
Goodman and GIT are entities of a kind referred to in ASIC Corporations (Rounding in Financial/Directors’ Reports) Instrument 2016/191. In accordance with that Instrument, amounts in this Directors’ report and the consolidated financial statements have been rounded to the nearest hundred thousand dollars, unless otherwise stated.
The Directors’ report is made in accordance with a resolution of the Directors.
Events subsequent to balance date
There has not arisen in the interval between the end of the financial year and the date of this report any item, transaction or event of a material and unusual nature likely, in the opinion of the Directors, to affect significantly the operations of Goodman, the results of those operations, or the state of affairs of Goodman, in future financial years.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements
BASIS OF PREPARATION
This section sets out the general basis upon which Goodman and GIT have prepared their financial statements and information that is disclosed to comply with the Australian Accounting Standards, Corporations Act 2001 or Corporations Regulations.
Specific accounting policies can be found in the section to which they relate.
As permitted by the relief provided in ASIC Instrument 18‑0353, these financial statements present both the financial statements and accompanying notes of Goodman and GIT. GLHK, which is incorporated and domiciled in Hong Kong, prepares its financial statements under Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards and the applicable requirements of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance and accordingly the financial statements of GLHK have not been combined and included as adjacent columns in this report. The financial statements of GLHK have been included as an appendix to this report.
1 Basis of preparation
Goodman Limited and Goodman Industrial Trust are for profit entities domiciled in Australia.
The consolidated financial statements are prepared on the historical cost basis, subject to any impairment of assets, except that the following assets and liabilities are stated at fair value:
(a) Statement of compliance
These consolidated financial statements are general purpose financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards adopted by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) and the Corporations Act 2001. International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) form the basis of Australian Accounting Standards adopted by the AASB. The consolidated financial statements also comply with IFRS.
The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars and were authorised for issue by the Directors on 23 August 2019.
(b) Basis of preparation of the consolidated financial reports
Shares in the Company, units in the Trust and CDIs over shares in GLHK are stapled to one another and are quoted as a single security on the ASX. Australian Accounting Standards require an acquirer to be identified and an in‑substance acquisition to be recognised. In relation to the stapling of the Company, the Trust and GLHK, the Company is identified as having acquired control over the assets of the Trust and GLHK. In the consolidated statement of financial position of the Group, equity attributable to the Trust and the CDIs over the shares of GLHK are presented as non‑controlling interests.
-
- investment properties;
-
- derivative financial instruments;
-
- investments in unlisted securities; and
-
- liabilities for cash settled share based payment arrangements.
In accordance with ASIC Corporations (Rounding in Financial/Directors’ Reports) Instrument 2016/191, amounts in these consolidated financial statements have been rounded to the nearest hundred thousand dollars, unless otherwise stated.
(c) Foreign currency translation
Functional and presentation currency
Items included in the consolidated financial statements of each of the controlled entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (functional currency). The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is the Company’s and the Trust’s functional and presentation currency.
Transactions
Foreign currency transactions are translated to each entity’s functional currency at rates approximating to the foreign exchange rates ruling at the dates of the transactions. Amounts receivable and payable in foreign currencies at the balance date are translated at the rates of exchange ruling on that date. Resulting exchange differences are recognised in profit or loss.
Goodman Group
98
Notes to the consolidated financial statements Basis of preparation (continued) 1. Basis of preparation (continued)
Non‑monetary assets and liabilities that are measured in terms of historical cost are translated at rates of exchange applicable at the date of the initial transaction. Non‑monetary items which are measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was determined.
Translation of controlled foreign operations
The assets and liabilities of controlled foreign operations are translated into Australian dollars at foreign exchange rates ruling at the balance date.
Revenue and expenses are translated at weighted average rates for the financial year. Exchange differences arising on translation are taken directly to the foreign currency translation reserve. On cessation of operations in a foreign region, the cumulative exchange differences relating to the operations in that region, that have been included in the foreign currency translation reserve, are reclassified to profit or loss.
Exchange differences arising on monetary items that form part of the net investment in a foreign operation are recognised in the foreign currency translation reserve on consolidation.
Exchange rates used
The following exchange rates are the main exchange rates used in translating foreign currency transactions, balances and financial statements to Australian dollars:
| Weighted | average | As at | 30 June | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Australian dollars (AUD) to | 2019 | 2018 | 2019 | 2018 |

(d) Changes in accounting policies
Goodman and GIT have adopted AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers and AASB 9 Financial Instruments, with a date of initial application of 1 July 2018. A number of other new standards are also effective from 1 July 2018 but they do not have a material effect on Goodman and GIT’s financial statements.
AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers
AASB 15 provides a single revenue recognition model based on the transfer of goods and services and the consideration expected to be received in return for that transfer. The adoption of AASB 15 has resulted in a change in accounting policy for revenue recognition associated with property disposals, such that revenue is recognised on transfer of control of the asset rather than the transfer of the significant risks and rewards associated with the asset. For Goodman, the new accounting policy has not had a material impact on the revenue and profit reflected in previous periods but the consolidated statement of financial position now includes additional captions for “Contract assets” and “Contract liabilities”.

In accordance with the transition provisions in AASB 15, Goodman has adopted the new rules retrospectively and has restated the comparative consolidated statement of financial position at the date of initial application as set out below:

Contract assets
Contract assets include amounts recoverable in respect of investment management contracts and fixed price development contracts. These were previously recognised as receivables.
Contract liabilities
Contract liabilities include consideration received in advance of the completion of development contracts and rental guarantees provided by Goodman in respect of inventory disposal and fixed price development contracts. These were previously recognised as payables.
The adoption of AASB 15 has not had a material impact on the results of GIT.

AASB 9 Financial Instruments
AASB 9 sets out the recognition, classification and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities, derecognition of financial instruments, hedge accounting and impairment of financial assets. AASB 9 replaces AASB 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement.
(i) Classification and measurement
The new classification of financial assets under AASB 9 has not had a material impact on Goodman’s or GIT’s financial statements.
(ii) Derivatives and hedging
AASB 9 allows the application of a more qualitative approach to assessing hedge effectiveness compared to AASB 139. Goodman and GIT’s directly held derivative financial instruments are not designated as a hedge for accounting purposes. Certain of Goodman and GIT’s associates and JVs continue to designate derivative financial instruments as cash flow hedges for accounting purposes but the new standard has not had a material impact on Goodman and GIT’s equity accounted results.
(iii) Impairment of financial assets
Under AASB 9, impairments of trade receivables, amounts and loans due from related parties and other receivables are based on an ‘expected credit loss’ assessment. Previously, impairments were only booked when issues regarding the potential collectability of a receivable or contract asset had been identified.
The change in methodology did not have a material impact on the results of Goodman and GIT as receivables relate to property rental income, where the Group generally holds either a security deposit or a bank guarantee, and amounts due from related parties, including Partnerships.
(e) Australian Accounting Standards issued but not yet effective
As at the date of this consolidated financial report, AASB 16 Leases was available for early adoption but has not been applied in preparing these financial statements:
AASB 16 replaces AASB 117 Leases and other existing guidance on leases. It introduces a single lessee accounting model and requires a lessee to recognise assets and liabilities for all leases with a term of more than 12 months, unless the underlying asset is of low value. A lessee is required to recognise a right of use asset representing its right to use the underlying leased asset and a lease liability representing its obligations to make lease payments. The new standard will result in the gross up of assets and liabilities where Goodman leases office buildings, motor vehicles and development land classified as inventories.
Goodman will apply AASB 16 initially on 1 July 2019 using the modified retrospective approach. Under this approach, the cumulative effect of initially applying this standard is recognised at the date of initial application. Goodman will recognise a lease liability at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate at the date of initial application and a right of use asset equal to the lease liability, adjusted for any prepared or accrued lease payments. Goodman expects to recognise $15.9 million of right of use assets and $15.9 million of lease liabilities at 1 July 2019 in relation to development land and $58.2 million of right of use assets and $57.3 million of lease liabilities at 1 July 2019 in relation to other leases.
Goodman will apply the practical expedient to grandfather the definition of a lease on transition. This means that it will apply AASB 16 to all contracts entered into before 1 July 2019 and identified as leases in accordance with AASB 117.
As a lessee, GIT has no material leases and therefore the new standard will not have a material impact.

(f) Critical accounting estimates used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements
The preparation of consolidated financial statements requires estimates and assumptions concerning the application of accounting policies and the future to be made by Goodman. Estimates are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
RESULTS FOR THE YEAR
The notes in this section focus on the significant items in the income statement, and include the profit per security, analysis of the results by operating segment and taxation details.
2 Profit before income tax
Gross property income
The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year can be found in the following notes:
-
- Note 6 – Property assets;
-
- Note 11 – Goodwill and intangible assets; and + Note 15 – Financial risk management.
The accounting impacts of revisions to estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised and in any future periods affected.
Measurement of fair values
A number of Goodman’s accounting policies and disclosures require the measurement of fair values, for both financial and non‑financial assets and liabilities.
When measuring the fair value of an asset or a liability, Goodman uses market observable data as far as possible. Fair values are categorised into different levels in a fair value hierarchy and have been defined as follows:
-
- Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
-
- Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); and
-
- Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
Gross property income comprises rental income under operating leases (net of incentives provided) and amounts billed to customers for outgoings (e.g. rates, levies, cleaning, security, etc.). Amounts billed to customers for outgoings are a cost recovery for Goodman and are recognised once the expense has been incurred. The expense is included in property expenses.
Rental income under operating leases is recognised on a straight‑line basis over the term of the lease contract. Where operating lease rental income is recognised relating to fixed increases in rentals in future years, an asset is recognised. This asset is a component of the relevant investment property carrying amount. The cost of lease incentives provided to customers is amortised on a straight‑line basis over the life of the lease as a reduction of gross property income.
Management and development income
The revenue from management and development activities is measured based on the consideration specified in a contract with a customer. Goodman recognises revenue when it transfers control over a product or service to a customer.
Management income
Fee income derived from investment management and property services is recognised and invoiced progressively as the services are provided. Customers make payments usually either monthly or quarterly in arrears.
Further information about the assumptions made in measuring fair values is included in the following notes:
-
- Note 6 – Property assets; and
-
- Note 15 – Financial risk management.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements Results for the year (continued) 2 Profit before income tax (continued)
Performance related management income generally relates to portfolio performance fee income, which is recognised progressively as the services are provided but only when the income can be reliably measured and is highly probable of not being reversed. These portfolio performance fees are typically dependent on the overall returns of a Partnership relative to an agreed benchmark return, assessed over the life of the Partnership, which can vary from one year to seven years. The returns are impacted by operational factors such as the quality and location of the portfolio, active property management, rental income rates and development activity but can also be significantly affected by changes in global and local economic conditions. Accordingly, portfolio performance fee revenue is only recognised at a point close to the end of the relevant assessment period, as prior to this revenue recognition is not considered to be sufficiently certain.
In determining the amount of revenue that can be reliably measured, management prepares a sensitivity analysis to understand the impact of changes in asset valuations on the potential performance fee at the assessment date. The assessment of revenue will depend on the prevailing market conditions at the reporting date relative to long‑term averages and also the length of time until the assessment date e.g. the longer the time period to assessment date, the greater the impact of the sensitivity analysis. The potential portfolio performance fee revenue is then recognised based on the length of time from the start of the assessment period to the reporting date as a proportion of the total assessment period. Where the income is attributable to development activities that have occurred over the performance fee period, then it is reported as development income, otherwise the income is reported as management income. The Partnerships make payments in respect of portfolio performances fees at the end of the performance periods, once the attainment of the conditions has been verified and the amount of the fee has been agreed by all parties.
Development income – disposal of inventories
The disposal of inventories is recognised at the point in time when control over the property asset is transferred to the customer. This will generally occur on transfer of legal title and payment in full by the customer. The gain or loss on disposal of inventories is calculated as the difference between the carrying amount of the asset at the time of disposal and the proceeds on disposal (less transaction costs) and is included in the income statement in the period of disposal.
Development income – development management services
Fee income from development management services (including master‑planning, development management and overall project management) is recognised progressively as the services are provided in proportion to the stage of completion by reference to costs. Payments are received in accordance with the achievement of agreed milestones over the development period. The development period is usually between six months and twelve months, but can be longer for larger, more complex projects.
Performance related development income includes income associated with the returns from individual developments under the Group’s management and performance fee income that relates to development activity. Income in respect of individual developments is recognised by Goodman on attainment of the performance related conditions, which is when the income can be reliably measured and is highly probable of not being reversed. These amounts are paid by the Partnership when the amounts have been measured and agreed. Income associated with development activities as part of a portfolio assessment is recognised on the same basis as outlined above in the management income section.
Annual Report 2019
103
Development income – fixed price
development contracts
Certain development activities are assessed as being fixed price development contracts. This occurs when a signed contract exists, either prior to the commencement of or during the development phase, to acquire a development asset from Goodman on completion. Revenue and expenses relating to these development contracts are recognised in the income statement in proportion to the stage of completion of the relevant contracts by reference to costs. The payments may be on completion of the development once legal title has been transferred. The development phase is usually between six months and twelve months but may be longer.
Net gain on disposal of investment properties
The disposal of an investment property is recognised at the point in time when control over the property has been transferred to the purchaser.
Employee expenses
Wages, salaries and annual leave
Wages and salaries, including non‑monetary benefits, and annual leave that are expected to be settled within 12 months of the balance date represent present obligations resulting from employees’ services provided to the balance date. These are calculated at undiscounted amounts based on rates that are expected to be paid as at balance date including related on‑costs, such as insurances and payroll tax.
Bonuses
A liability is recognised in other payables and accruals for bonuses where there is a contractual obligation or where there is a past practice that has created a constructive obligation. Liabilities for bonuses are measured at the amounts expected to be paid, including related on‑costs, when they are settled.
Superannuation
Defined contribution funds
Obligations for contributions to defined contribution funds are recognised as an expense as incurred.
Defined benefit funds
The net obligation in respect of defined benefit funds is recognised in the statement of financial position and is calculated separately for each plan by estimating the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in the current and prior periods, discounting that amount and deducting the fair value of any plan assets. The calculation of defined benefit obligations is performed annually by a qualified actuary using the projected unit credit method. Remeasurements of the net defined benefit liability, which comprise actuarial gains and losses and the return on plan assets (excluding interest), are recognised immediately in other comprehensive income. Net interest expense and other expenses related to defined benefit plans are recognised in profit or loss.

3 Profit per security
Basic profit per security of the Group is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to the Securityholders by the weighted average number of securities outstanding during the year. Diluted profit per security is determined by adjusting the profit attributable to the Securityholders and weighted average number of securities outstanding for all dilutive potential securities, which comprise performance rights issued under the LTIP and securities contingently issuable on conversion of hybrid securities.

4 Segment reporting
An operating segment is a component of Goodman that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses. Goodman reports the results and financial position of its operating segments based on the internal reports regularly reviewed by the Group Chief Executive Officer in order to assess each segment’s performance and to allocate resources to them.
The activities and services undertaken by the operating segments include:
-
- property investment, including both direct ownership and cornerstone investments in Partnerships;
-
- management activities, both fund and property management; and
-
- development activities, including development of directly owned assets (predominantly disclosed as inventories) and management of development activities for Partnerships.
The segment results that are reported to the Group Chief Executive Officer are based on profit before net finance expense and income tax expense, and also exclude non‑cash items such as fair value adjustments and impairments, corporate expenses and incentive based remuneration. The assets allocated to each operating segment primarily include inventories, investment properties and the operating segment’s investments in Partnerships, but exclude inter‑entity funding, income tax receivables and corporate assets. The liabilities allocated to each operating segment primarily relate to trade and other payables associated with the operating activities, but exclude interest bearing liabilities, derivative financial instruments, provisions for distributions and corporate liabilities.
The accounting policies used to report segment information are the same as those used to prepare the consolidated financial statements of Goodman and GIT.
For the purpose of operating segment reporting, there are no material intersegment revenues and costs.
Information regarding the operations of each reportable segment is included on the following pages.
Operating segment information is reported on a geographic basis and Goodman has determined that its operating segments are Australia and New Zealand (reported on a combined basis), Asia (Greater China and Japan), Continental Europe (primarily Germany and France), the United Kingdom and the Americas (North America and Brazil).

5 Taxation
Income tax for the period comprises current tax and movements in deferred tax assets and liabilities. Current tax and movements in deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that they relate to items recognised directly in equity, in which case the relevant amounts of tax are recognised directly in equity.
Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the financial year and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous financial years.
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. The following temporary differences are not accounted for:
+ goodwill;
-
- the initial recognition of assets or liabilities that affect neither accounting nor taxable profit; and
-
- differences relating to investments in controlled entities to the extent that they will probably not reverse in the foreseeable future.
The amount of deferred tax provided is based on the expected manner of realisation or settlement of the carrying amount of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets or liabilities in respect of investment properties held at fair value are calculated on the presumption that the carrying amount of the investment property will be recovered through sale. A deferred tax asset is recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the asset can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised.
Additional income taxes that arise from dividends/distributions are recognised at the same time as the liability to pay the related dividends/distributions.

(b) GIT
Under current Australian income tax legislation, the Trust is not liable for income tax, including capital gains tax, provided that Securityholders are presently entitled to the distributable income of the Trust as calculated for trust law purposes. The controlled entities of the Trust that operate in certain foreign jurisdictions are liable to pay tax in those jurisdictions.
The income tax expense recorded by GIT relates to withholding taxes on actual distributions and deferred taxes on potential future distributions from Partnerships. At 30 June 2019, deferred tax liabilities of $62.8 million (2018: $43.2 million) have been recognised in relation to potential future distributions from Partnerships.

OPERATING ASSETS AND LIABILITIES
The notes in this section focus on Goodman’s property assets, working capital and goodwill and intangible assets.
6 Property assets
(a) Principles and policies
Investment in property assets includes both inventories and investment properties (including those under development), which may be held either directly or through investments in Partnerships (both associates and JVs).
Inventories
Inventories relate to land and property developments that are held for sale or development and sale in the normal course of the Group’s business. Inventories are carried at the lower of cost or net realisable value. The calculation of net realisable value requires estimates and assumptions which are regularly evaluated and are based on historical experience and expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
Inventories are classified as non‑current assets unless they are contracted to be sold within twelve months of the end of the reporting period, in which case they are classified as current assets.
Investment property carrying values include the costs of acquiring the assets and subsequent costs of development, including costs of all labour and materials used in construction, costs of managing the projects, holding costs and borrowing costs incurred during the development periods.
Amounts provided to customers as lease incentives and assets relating to fixed rental income increases in operating lease contracts are included within investment property values. Lease incentives are amortised over the term of the lease on a straight‑line basis. Direct expenditure associated with leasing a property is also capitalised within investment property values and amortised over the term of the lease.
Classification of investment properties
Investment properties are classified as either properties under development or stabilised properties. Investment properties under development include land, new investment properties in the course of construction and investment properties that are being redeveloped. Stabilised investment properties are all investment properties not classed as being under development and would be completed properties that are leased or are available for lease to customers.
For investment properties under development, the carrying values are reviewed by management at each reporting date to consider whether they reflect the fair value and at completion external valuations are obtained to determine the fair values.
Investment properties
Investment properties comprise investment interests in land and buildings held for the purpose of leasing to produce rental income and/or for capital appreciation. Investment properties are carried at fair value. The calculation of fair value requires estimates and assumptions which are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Investment properties are not depreciated as they are subject to continual maintenance and regularly revalued on the basis described below. Changes in the fair value of investment properties are recognised directly in the income statement.
For stabilised investment properties, independent valuations are obtained at least every three years to determine the fair values. At each reporting date between obtaining independent valuations, the carrying values are reviewed by management to ensure they reflect the fair values.
Deposits for investment properties
Deposits and other costs associated with acquiring investment properties that are incurred prior to obtaining legal title are recorded at cost and disclosed as other assets in the statement of financial position.
Components of investment properties
Land and buildings (including integral plant and equipment) comprising investment properties are regarded as composite assets and are disclosed as such in the consolidated financial report.

(c) Estimates and assumptions in determining property carrying values
Inventories
For both inventories held directly and inventories held in Partnerships, external valuations are not performed but instead valuations are determined using the feasibility studies supporting the land and property developments. The end values of the developments in the feasibility studies are based on assumptions such as capitalisation rates, letting up periods and incentives that are consistent with those observed in the relevant market. Where the feasibility study calculations indicate that the forecast cost of a completed development will exceed the net realisable value, then the inventories are impaired.
Investment properties
Stabilised investment properties
The fair value of stabilised investment properties is based on current prices in an active market for similar properties in the same location and condition and subject to similar lease and other contracts. The current price is the estimated amount for which a property could be exchanged between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm’s length transaction after proper marketing wherein the parties had each acted knowledgably, prudently and without compulsion.
Annual Report 2019
115
Approach to determination of fair value
The approach to determination of fair value of investment properties is applied to both investment properties held directly and investment properties held in Partnerships.
Valuations are determined based on assessments and estimates of uncertain future events, including upturns and downturns in property markets and availability of similar properties, vacancy rates, market rents and capitalisation and discount rates. Recent and relevant sales evidence and other market data are taken into account. Valuations are either based on an external independent valuation or on an internal valuation.
External valuations are undertaken only where market segments were observed to be active. In making the determination of whether a market segment is active, the following characteristics are considered:
-
- function of the asset (distribution/warehouse or suburban office);
-
- location of asset (city, suburb or regional area);
-
- carrying value of the asset (categorised by likely appeal to private (including syndicates), national and institutional investors); and
-
- categorisation as primary or secondary based on a combination of location, weighted average lease expiry, quality of tenant covenant (internal assessment based on available market evidence) and age of construction.
Where a market segment is observed to be active, then external independent valuations are performed for stabilised investment properties where there has been more than a 25 basis point movement in capitalisation rates and/or there has been a material change in tenancy profile and/or there has been significant capital expenditure, and/or there has been a change in use (or zoning) of the asset and/or it has been three years since the previous external independent valuation. For all other stabilised investment properties in an active market segment, an internal valuation is performed based on observable capitalisation rates and referenced to independent market data.
Where a market segment is observed to be inactive, then no external independent valuations are performed and internal valuations are undertaken based on discounted cash flow (DCF) calculations. The DCF calculations are prepared over a 10 year period. The key inputs considered for each individual calculation are rental growth rates, discount rates, market rental rates and letting up incentives. Discount rates are computed using the 10 year bond rate or equivalent in each jurisdiction plus increments to reflect country risk, tenant credit risk and industry risk. Where possible, the components of the discount rate are benchmarked to available market data.
Each property asset is assessed and grouped with assets in the same or similar market segments. Information on all relevant recent sales is also analysed using the same criteria to provide a comparative set. Unless three or more sales are observed in an individual market segment (taken together with any comparable market segments as necessary), that market segment is considered inactive.

Market assessment
At 30 June 2019, all markets in which Goodman operated were observed to be active and no adjustments were made to the carrying value of stabilised investment properties arising from internal valuations using DCF calculations. The overall weighted average capitalisation rates for the divisional portfolios (including Partnerships) are as set out in the table below:
are as set out in the table below: |
|
|---|---|
| Goodman Division 20191 % 2018 % Australia and New Zealand 5.4 5.9 Asia 4.8 5.0 Continental Europe 5.1 5.4 United Kingdom 4.8 5.4 Americas 4.6 4.2 |
GIT |
| 20191 % 2018 % |
|
| 5.3 5.8 4.3 4.6 5.2 5.5 – – 4.6 4.2 |
- The methodology used to calculate the weighted average capitalisation rate was changed in the current year to reflect the gross values of investment properties held by Partnerships. Had this methodology been applied to the comparative figures, there would have been no change to the rates disclosed except for the Americas, which would have been 4.7% for both Goodman and GIT.
During the current financial year, the fair values of 76% (2018: 69%) of stabilised investment properties (excluding $0.4 billion of properties being positioned for redevelopment) held directly by Goodman were determined based on a valuation by an independent valuer who held a recognised and relevant professional qualification and had recent experience in the location and category of the investment property being valued. The equivalent percentage for GIT was 97% (2018: 69%).
For investments in Partnerships, typically 100% of the stabilised investment property portfolios are valued by an independent valuer in each financial year.
Investment properties under development
External valuations are generally not performed for investment properties under development, but instead valuations are determined using the feasibility studies supporting the developments. The end values of the developments in the feasibility studies are based on assumptions such as capitalisation rates, letting up periods and incentives that are consistent with those observed in the relevant market adjusted for a profit and risk factor. This profit and risk factor is dependent on the function, location, size and current status of the development and is generally in a market range of 10% to 15%. This adjusted end value is then compared to the forecast cost of a completed development to determine whether there is an increase or decrease in value.
This practice of determining fair value by reference to the development feasibility is generally also applied for Goodman’s investments in Partnerships. However, certain Partnerships do obtain independent valuations for investment properties under development each financial year.

During the financial year, borrowing costs of $0.6 million (2018: $40.4 million) previously capitalised into the carrying value of investment properties were expensed to the income statement on disposal of the investment properties.
Other information regarding directly held investment properties
The fair value measurement approach for directly held investment properties has been categorised as a Level 3 fair value based on the inputs to the valuation method used (see notes 1(f) and 6(c)). The majority of directly held investment properties are in Australia and the valuation technique used in measuring the fair value, as well as the values assumed for the significant unobservable inputs, are summarised in the table below:
| Valuation technique | Significant unobservable inputs | 2019 | 2018 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Income capitalisation | Range of net market rents (per square metre per annum) | $40 to $320 | $40 to $276 |
| Capitalisation rate (weighted average) | 5.4% | 5.8% |
The estimated fair value would increase if net market rents were higher and/or if capitalisation rates were lower. The estimated fair value would decrease if the net market rents were lower and/or if the capitalisation rates were higher.
The weighted average lease expiries of Goodman’s and GIT’s directly held investment properties in Australia are 4.3 and 2.8 years respectively.
Non‑cancellable operating lease commitments receivable from investment property customers
The analysis in the table below reflects the gross property income, excluding recoverable outgoings, based on existing lease agreements. It assumes that leases will not extend beyond the next review date, where the customer has an option to end the lease.

(f) Investments accounted for using the equity method
Investments accounted for using the equity method comprise associates and JVs, which are collectively referred to as Partnerships.
Associates
An associate is an entity in which Goodman exercises significant influence but not control over its financial and operating policies. In the consolidated financial statements, investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method. Investments in associates are carried at the lower of the equity accounted amount and recoverable amount. Under this method, Goodman’s share of post‑acquisition gains or losses of associates is recognised in the consolidated income statement and its share of post‑acquisition movements in reserves is recognised in consolidated reserves. Cumulative post‑acquisition movements in both profit or loss and reserves are adjusted against the cost of the investment.
Transactions eliminated on consolidation
Unrealised gains resulting from transactions with associates and JVs, including those relating to contributions of non‑monetary assets on establishment, are eliminated to the extent of Goodman’s interest. Unrealised gains relating to associates and JVs are eliminated against the carrying amount of the investment. Unrealised losses are eliminated in the same way as unrealised gains unless they evidence an impairment of an asset.
JVs
A JV is an arrangement in which Goodman is considered to have joint control for accounting purposes, whereby Goodman has rights to the net assets of the arrangement, rather than rights to its assets and obligations for its liabilities. In the consolidated financial statements, investments in JVs are accounted for using the equity method. Investments in JVs are carried at the lower of the equity accounted amount and recoverable amount. Goodman’s share of the JVs’ net profit or loss is recognised in the consolidated income statement from the date the arrangement commences to the date the arrangement ceases. Movements in reserves are recognised directly in the consolidated reserves.

7 Receivables
Receivables comprise trade and other receivables and loans to related parties and are recognised on the date that they are originated, initially at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, receivables are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, less any impairment losses.
Receivables are derecognised when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the receivable expire or the Group transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows on the receivable in a transaction in which substantially all the risks and rewards of the receivable are transferred.
substantially all the risks and rewards of the receivable are transferred. |

Transaction price allocated to the remaining contract obligations
The amount of the transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations under the Consolidated Entity’s existing contracts is $27.9 million. This amount represents revenue expected to be recognised in the future from ongoing management and fixed price development contracts with customers. The Consolidated Entity will recognise the expected revenue in the future as the work is completed, which is expected to be within the next twelve months.
Details regarding Goodman’s future rental income associated with existing lease agreements is included in note 6.
In addition, Goodman receives investment management, development management and property services fees under various contracts that it has with its Partnerships. These contracts are for varying lengths of time and are typically transacted on terms that are consistent with market practice. The revenues under these contracts are linked to the assets under management, total development project costs or gross property income of Partnerships and are invoiced as the services are provided.
9 Payables
Trade and other payables are recognised initially at trade date fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, trade and other payables are measured at amortised cost.
Trade and other payables are derecognised when the contractual obligations are discharged or cancelled or expire.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the statement of financial position when, and only when, there is a legal right to offset the amounts and an intention to either settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

11 Goodwill and intangible assets
Goodman recognises both goodwill and indefinite life management rights in its statement of financial position.
Goodwill
Goodwill arising on the acquisition of controlled entities is stated at cost less any accumulated impairment losses (refer below). No amortisation is provided.
Management rights
When fund and/or investment management activities are acquired as part of a business combination, management rights are recorded where they arise from contractual or other legal rights, and the fair value can be measured reliably.
Management rights are stated at cost less impairment. Management rights are not amortised as they are assumed to have an indefinite life given they are routinely renewed at minimal cost and on broadly similar terms.
Impairment
The carrying amounts of goodwill and management rights are tested annually for impairment. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill and management rights are allocated to the related cash‑generating units monitored by management. An impairment loss is recognised whenever the carrying amount of the cash‑generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount. Recoverable amount is the greater of the fair value (net of disposal costs) and the value in use but given that goodwill and management rights are not frequently traded (i.e. fair value is difficult to ascertain), the recoverable amount will be equal to the value in use of the cash‑generating unit. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre‑tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the cash‑generating unit.
Goodman Group
130
Notes to the consolidated financial statements Operating assets and liabilities (continued) 11 Goodwill and intangible assets (continued)
Impairment losses are recognised in the income statement. Impairment losses recognised in respect of cash‑generating units are allocated first to reduce the goodwill allocated to the cash‑generating unit, then to the carrying amount of the management rights allocated to the cash‑generating unit and then to reduce the carrying amount of the other assets in the cash‑generating unit on a pro rata basis.
An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed. An impairment loss for management rights is reversed only to the extent that its carrying amount does not exceed its original cost.

Impairments and reversals of impairments
There were no impairment losses or reversals of impairment losses during either the current or prior financial year.
Impairment testing for intangible assets
The carrying values of both goodwill and indefinite life management rights are assessed for impairment annually. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill and indefinite life management rights are allocated to the Goodman divisions that represent the lowest level within Goodman at which the goodwill and indefinite life management rights are monitored for internal management purposes. Where goodwill and management rights arise in the same division, impairment testing has been performed on the combined intangible asset.
The impairment tests for all intangible assets are based on each division’s value in use. Value in use is determined by discounting the future cash flows generated from continuing operations. These cash flows are based on both investment and development forecasts and then estimating a year five terminal value using a terminal growth rate and the division’s discount rate.
The estimation of future cash flows requires assumptions to be made regarding uncertain future events. The cash flows associated with management rights require management to make assumptions regarding the period over which the future fee income streams continue to be received, the likelihood of renewal at minimal cost of contractual agreements to manage partnerships, and the future financial performance of Partnerships which generate those future fee income streams. The cash flows associated with goodwill are often similar to management rights but may also include cash flows from other development activities undertaken by the businesses.
One of the key assumptions in relation to the impairment testing is that Goodman’s management contracts are assessed to have an indefinite life given that these contracts have been typically renewed at minimal cost and on broadly similar financial terms.
A summary of the other key assumptions for those divisions where the carrying amount of goodwill or indefinite life management rights was significant in comparison with Goodman’s total carrying amount of intangible assets is set out below.
All amounts were calculated in local currency and translated to Australian dollars at the closing exchange rate at the end of the financial period. Averages related to average amounts over the five year forecast period.
| Continental | United Kingdom | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Europe – Logistics | – Logistics | ||
| Value in use (A$M)1 | 2019 | 1,388.1 | 138.4 |
| 2018 | 1,201.8 | 261.2 | |
| Pre‑tax discount rate (per annum) | 2019 | 11.1% | 9.5% |

| 2018 | 8.7% | 27.3% |
-
When assessing a potential impairment, the value in use was compared against the sum of the intangible asset balance and the plant and equipment balance for each division.
-
AUM growth rate in United Kingdom – Logistics reflects the projected growth in GUKP. This assumes that current equity commitments from Goodman and its investment partners will be fully drawn, with additional funding either from new equity or debt facilities.
Annual Report 2019
133
The key drivers of value in respect of the intangible assets are:
-
- development cash flows, which are impacted by development volumes and margins; and
-
- management cash flows, which are primarily related to AUM in Partnerships.
The decrease in the United Kingdom – Logistics value in use compared to the prior year was due to the assumption in the current year assessment that all development activities during the forecast period will be on GUKP’s balance sheet. This will be the focus over the medium term given the strategic acquisitions during FY19. In the prior year assessment, development activity comprised both development on Goodman’s own balance sheet and development in GUKP.
Discount rates
The post‑tax discount rates were determined using the capital asset pricing model, with individual assumptions referenced to market data, where available, and adjusting for specific factors associated with each division. A risk premium was included in each division’s discount rate, reflecting the level of forecasting, size, country and financing risks for that division. The value in use was determined using the after‑tax cash flows and the post‑tax discount rates, with the discount rates then converted to the equivalent pre‑tax rates.
Development activity and margins
Demand for modern, well‑located industrial product in both Continental Europe and the United Kingdom continues to be driven by customers’ desire to adopt more efficient distribution methods and be closer to the end consumer. Earnings forecasts for each division include projects which have not yet been contracted. Margins from development activity are expected to be consistent with those achieved historically.
United Kingdom – Logistics
Investor demand has remained strong for well‑let assets in core locations. The division’s development activity over the next five years is forecast to be 0.18 million square metres per annum (on average), which will be undertaken by GUKP, with Goodman earning development management fee income. The estimated cash outflow (from Goodman and its Partnerships) required to finance the assumed development pipeline across the forecast period is on average A$0.30 billion per annum.
Sources of funding for development activity
Capital inflows required to fund acquisitions and development activity in both divisions are assumed to arise from the following sources: equity investment directly into Partnerships (including distribution reinvestment plans) by Goodman and its investment partners; lending facilities advanced to Partnerships; debt capital markets; customer‑funded turnkey developments; and proceeds from disposals of assets. It is not practicable to determine the percentage of the total which will flow from each source.
Funds available to Goodman and its investment partners are assumed to be sourced from available global markets and are not limited to lending markets in the regions to which the relevant intangible asset relates.
The cash flow forecasts have not assumed a downturn in earnings that might arise in the event of severe adverse market conditions.
AUM
For Continental Europe – Logistics, the average annual increase in AUM of 7.9% (2018: 8.7%) over the forecast period is broadly consistent with the prior year forecasts and assumes that development activity is maintained. For the purpose of the forecasts, capitalisation rates are expected to be stable over the period.
Continental Europe – Logistics
The forecasts assume the development starts (by area) over the five year period are 0.77 million square metres each year, consistent with historical performance. The majority of development is expected to be undertaken on Goodman’s own balance sheet and sold to Partnerships. The estimated total cash outflow (from Goodman and its Partnerships) required to finance the assumed development pipeline across the forecast period is A$1.02 billion per annum.
For United Kingdom – Logistics, the forecasts assume that over the next five years, the division will increase its AUM from £0.3 billion to approximately £1.7 billion, as GUKP draws down committed equity from its investors to fund the expected development activity. This reflects the development of the sites that have been acquired during FY19, with further acquisitions assumed over the forecast period. For the purpose of the forecasts, capitalisation rates are expected to be stable over the period.

Long‑term growth rates have been used to extrapolate cash flow projections beyond the period covered by the five year forecast. For both Continental Europe – Logistics and United Kingdom – Logistics, the growth rate was based on the average consumer price indices over the past five years. For Continental Europe – Logistics, a weighted average was estimated based on the value of AUM for each of the countries in which Goodman operated.
The forecast cost of developments in year five represents the estimated total funding requirements for both directly held developments and developments within Partnerships. The cost of developments in Australian dollars has remained relatively stable.

CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
The notes in this section focus on Goodman and GIT’s financing activities, capital structure and management of the financial risks involved.
12 Net finance (expense)/income
Interest income and expense are recognised using the effective interest rate method.
Finance costs relating to a qualifying asset are capitalised as part of the cost of that asset using a weighted average cost of debt. Qualifying assets are assets which take a substantial time to get ready for their intended use or sale. All other finance costs are expensed using the effective interest rate method.

14 Other financial assets and liabilities
Other financial assets and liabilities primarily comprise derivative financial instruments that are recognised initially on the trade date at which Goodman and GIT become a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Derivative financial instruments and hedging
Goodman and GIT use derivative financial instruments to hedge their economic exposure to foreign exchange and interest rate risks arising from operating, investing and financing activities. In accordance with the Group’s Financial Risk Management policy, Goodman and GIT do not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for speculative trading purposes.
Goodman and GIT’s derivative financial instruments are not designated as a hedge for accounting purposes, and accordingly movements in the fair value of derivative financial instruments are recognised in the income statement.
Cash flow hedges
Certain of Goodman and GIT’s associates and JVs continue to designate derivative financial instruments as cash flow hedges for accounting purposes. Goodman’s and GIT’s share of the effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivative financial instruments in associates and JVs that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges is recognised in the cash flow hedge reserve. The gain or loss relating to any ineffective portion is recognised in the income statement.

15 Financial risk management
The Directors have ultimate responsibility for Goodman’s financial risk management (FRM) processes and have established policies, documented in the FRM policy, to manage Goodman’s exposure to financial risks and to utilise capital in an efficient manner.
Goodman’s treasury function is responsible for monitoring the day to day compliance with the Group’s FRM policies and prepares reports for consideration by management committees and the Board including:
-
- cash flow projections over a period of at least 12 months to assess the level of cash and undrawn facilities, and headline gearing at each month end;
-
- debt maturity profile, to allow the Group to plan well in advance of maturing facilities;
-
- interest rate hedge profile over the next ten years, to allow the Group to manage the proportion of fixed and floating rate debt in accordance with its FRM policy; and
-
- capital hedge position (by currency) and profile of expiring currency derivatives, to allow the Group to manage its net investment hedging in accordance with its FRM policy.
Any significant investments or material changes to the finance facilities or FRM policies require approval by the Board.
Capital management
Goodman’s principal capital management objectives are to maintain a strong capital base and provide funds for operating activities (including development expenditure), capital expenditure and investment opportunities as they arise. This is achieved through an appropriate mix of debt and equity.
Goodman is able to alter the capital mix by issuing new Goodman debt and equity securities or hybrid securities, through the operation of a distribution reinvestment plan, adjusting the timing of development and capital expenditure and selling assets to reduce borrowings. Goodman also manages capital through its distribution policy in which distributions made to Securityholders are based on the Group’s operating profit, subject to a minimum distribution equal to the taxable income of the Trust.
Goodman’s key financial risks are market risk (including foreign exchange and interest rate risk), liquidity risk and credit risk.
(a) Market risk
Foreign exchange risk
Goodman is exposed to foreign exchange risk through its investments in New Zealand, Hong Kong, China, Japan, Continental Europe, the United Kingdom, North America and Brazil. Foreign exchange risk represents the gain or loss that would be recognised from fluctuations in currency prices against the Australian dollar as a result of Goodman’s net investment in foreign operations, future commercial transactions, and other foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities.
Goodman Group
142
Notes to the consolidated financial statements Capital management (continued) 15 Financial risk management (continued)
In managing foreign exchange risks, Goodman aims to reduce the impact of short‑term fluctuations on Goodman’s earnings and net assets. However, over the long term, permanent changes in foreign exchange rates will have an impact on both earnings and net assets.
Goodman’s capital hedge policy for each overseas region is to hedge between 65% and 90% of foreign currency denominated assets with foreign currency denominated liabilities. This is achieved by borrowing in the same currency as the overseas investments to form a natural economic hedge against any foreign currency fluctuations and/or using derivatives such as cross currency interest rate swaps (CCIRS) and foreign exchange contracts (FEC).
The Group’s hedge position is monitored on an ongoing basis and the Group will enter into new derivatives (including forward start contracts) and close out or enter into contra derivative contracts to manage the capital hedge position.
As at 30 June 2019, the principal that was used to hedge its exposures using derivatives and the weighted average exchange rates, by currency, are set out below:

In prior years, Goodman entered into both USD/EUR and USD/GBP CCIRS to provide a capital hedge against assets denominated in EUR and GBP. As the Group’s investment in North America has increased, the capital hedge positions have been reassessed to comply with the specified policy ranges and at 30 June 2019, the net USD/EUR and USD/GBP exposure was nil:

In addition to the derivatives detailed in the table above, GIT also has a FEC with a controlled entity of GL to hedge that entity’s USD exposure. On maturity of the contract, GIT will receive USD 240.0 million from GL and pay GBP 156.2 million to GL.
Sensitivity analysis
Throughout the financial year, if the Australian dollar had been 5% stronger against all other currencies, with all other variables held constant, the profit attributable to Securityholders, excluding derivative mark to market and unrealised foreign exchange movements, would have decreased by A$56.0 million (2018: A$40.4 million decrease) for Goodman and A$18.0 million (2018: A$19.8 million decrease) for GIT. If the Australian dollar had been 5% weaker against all other currencies, with all other variables held constant, the profit attributable to Securityholders, excluding derivative mark to market and unrealised foreign exchange movements, would have increased by A$56.0 million (2018: A$40.4 million increase) for Goodman and A$18.0 million (2018: A$19.8 million increase) for GIT.
Interest rate risk
Goodman’s interest rate risk arises from variable rate borrowings and the Group’s CCIRS that hedge the overseas investments. Goodman adopts a policy of hedging such that between 60% and 100% of its current year exposure to changes in interest rates on borrowings is on a fixed rate basis. Goodman enters into interest rate derivatives (IRD), comprising both interest rate swaps and interest rate caps, to manage cash flow risks associated with the interest rates on borrowings that are floating. The IRD contracts are for 90 day intervals and involve quarterly payments or receipts of the net amount of interest.

As at 30 June 2019, Goodman and GIT’s interest rate risk exposure based on existing interest bearing liabilities and derivative financial instruments is set out below:

| 3,101.5 | 1.3 | – | 3,102.8 |
- The Group’s CCIRS may give rise to interest rate exposure as a result of the difference between the principal in A$ calculated at year end spot rate and the principal in A$ calculated at the contract rate. The impact on the Group’s interest rate exposure is more significant at 30 June 2019 compared to the prior year due to the increased A$ principal associated with the CCIRS and the weakening Australian dollar.

As a result of the fixed rate interest bearing liabilities and derivative financial instruments that exist at 30 June 2019, Goodman and GIT would have the following fixed interest rate exposure at the end of each of the next five financial years. This assumes all interest bearing liabilities and derivative financial instruments mature in accordance with current contractual terms.

| 5years | 2,188.1 | 2.53 | 1,762.8 | 2.68 |
Sensitivity analysis
Throughout the financial year, if interest rates on borrowings (based on the interest bearing liabilities and derivative financial instruments in place at the end of the year) had been 100 basis points higher/lower, with all other variables held constant, the profit attributable to Securityholders would have decreased/increased by A$0.1 million (2018: A$2.4 million) for Goodman and increased/decreased by A$1.0 million (2018: decreased/increased by A$1.2 million) for GIT.
Price risk
Goodman and GIT are not materially exposed to price risk.
(b) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that Goodman will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. Goodman’s objective is to maintain sufficient liquidity to fund short term working capital, capital expenditure, investment opportunities, debt expiries and distributions. This is achieved through the monthly preparation of a three year cash flow forecast to understand the uses of funds and to identify potential shortfalls in funding. This allows Goodman to plan for renewal of debt facilities, negotiation of new debt facilities, new issues of securities, including the distribution reinvestment plan, and other potential sources of funding.
Goodman’s treasury function is responsible for reporting details of all debt maturities to the Board at its regular meetings.
Goodman seeks to spread its debt maturities such that the total debt repayable in a single financial year does not exceed Board approved policy levels.

(c) Credit risk
Credit risk represents the loss that would be recognised if counterparties failed to perform as contracted.
The maximum exposure to credit risk on financial assets, excluding investments, which have been recognised on the statement of financial position, is equal to the carrying amount.
Goodman has a policy of assessing the creditworthiness of all potential customers and is not materially exposed to any one customer. Goodman evaluates all customers’ perceived credit risk and may require the lodgement of rental bonds or bank guarantees, as appropriate, to reduce credit risk. In addition, all rents are payable monthly in advance. Bank guarantees are accepted from financial institutions which have an investment grade credit rating from a major rating agency.
Concentration of credit risk may exist due to receivables in respect of the disposals of investment properties. The credit risk is minimised as legal title to the properties is only transferred upon receipt of proceeds and typically Goodman will have either received a cash deposit or be the beneficiary of a bank guarantee for 10% to 20% of the total proceeds.
In relation to material bank deposits, Goodman minimises credit risk by dealing with major financial institutions. The counterparty must have a long‑term credit rating that is a minimum of an “A” category (or equivalent) from a major rating agency. The amounts and other terms associated with bank deposits are formally reviewed monthly.
The credit risks associated with derivative financial instruments are managed by:
-
- transacting with multiple derivatives counterparties that have a long‑term investment grade credit rating;
-
- utilising International Swaps and Derivatives Association (ISDA) agreements with derivative counterparties in order to limit exposure to credit risk through netting of amounts receivable and amounts payable to individual counterparties (refer below); and
-
- formally reviewing the mark to market position of derivative financial instruments by counterparty on a monthly basis.
Master netting or similar agreements
Goodman enters into derivative transactions under ISDA master netting off agreements. Under these agreements, where certain credit events occur (such as a default), all outstanding transactions under the agreement are terminated and a single net termination value is payable in full and final settlement.
As Goodman does not have any current legally enforceable right to offset, the fair values associated with derivative financial instruments have been presented gross in the statement of financial position. However, if a credit event occurred, the ISDA master netting off agreement would allow A$209.6 million (2018: A$89.2 million) and A$207.2 million (2018: A$89.2 million) of financial assets and financial liabilities in relation to Goodman’s and GIT’s respective derivative financial instruments to be offset.

There were no transfers between the levels during the year.
Valuation techniques used to derive Level 2 and Level 3 fair values
The Level 2 derivative financial instruments held by Goodman and GIT consist of IRD, CCIRS and FEC.
The fair values of derivative financial instruments are determined using generally accepted pricing models which discount estimated future cash flows based on the terms and maturity of each contract and current market interest rates and/or foreign currency rates, adjusted for specific features of the instruments.

(b) Share based payments
LTIP
The Group’s share based payments primarily relate to performance rights awarded to employees under the LTIP. These performance rights entitle an employee to either acquire Goodman securities for $nil consideration (equity settled performance rights) or, in certain jurisdictions, to receive an amount in cash equal to the value of the securities (cash settled performance rights), subject to the vesting conditions having been satisfied. Further details regarding the vesting conditions are included in the remuneration report section of the Directors’ report.
During the year, the movement in the number of equity settled and cash settled performance rights under the LTIP was as follows:
LTIP was as follows: |
||
|---|---|---|
| Number of rights | ||
| 2019 | 2018 | |
| Outstanding at the beginning of the year | 75,434,623 | 71,270,400 |
| Granted | 21,486,688 | 20,180,899 |
| Exercised | (14,925,092) | (12,835,205) |
| Forfeited | (2,934,056) | (3,181,471) |
| Outstanding at the end of the year | 79,062,163 | 75,434,623 |
| Exercisable at the end of the year | – | – |
Share based payments transactions
The fair value of equity settled performance rights at the grant date is expensed with a corresponding increase in the employee compensation reserve over the vesting period. The expense is adjusted to reflect the actual number of performance rights for which the related service and non‑market vesting conditions are expected to be met. The accumulated share based payments expense of performance rights which have vested or lapsed is transferred from the employee compensation reserve to retained earnings/(accumulated losses).
The fair value of cash settled performance rights is also recognised as an expense but with a corresponding increase in liabilities over the vesting period. The expense is adjusted to reflect the actual number of performance rights for which the related service and non‑market vesting conditions are expected to be met. The liability is remeasured at each reporting date and at the vesting date based on the fair value of the rights.
The fair value of services received in return for performance rights granted under the LTIP is measured by reference to the fair value of the performance rights granted. The fair value of the performance rights granted during the year was measured as follows:
-
- operating EPS tranche: these rights were valued as a granted call option, using the standard Black Scholes model with a continuous dividend/distribution yield; and
-
- Relative TSR tranche: these rights were valued using a Monte Carlo model which simulated total returns for each of the ASX 100 stocks and discounted the future value of any potential future vesting performance rights to arrive at a present value. The model uses statistical analysis to forecast total returns, based on expected parameters of variance and co‑variance.

Goodman’s New Zealand Long Term Incentive Plan
Under Goodman’s New Zealand Long Term Incentive Plan, employees receive approximately half of their LTI in the form of performance rights over GMT units that vest subject to meeting performance hurdles based on the achievement of distributable earnings targets by GMT and the relative total unitholder return from holding GMT units compared to other NZX property vehicles. On vesting, delivery of units in GMT is made from units held by Goodman or acquired on market.

We have audited the Financial Report of Goodman Limited (the Company) as the deemed parent presenting the stapled security arrangement of the Goodman Group (the Goodman Group Financial Report).
We have also audited the Financial Statements of Goodman Industrial Trust (the Trust Financial Report).
In our opinion, each of the accompanying Goodman Group Financial Report and Trust Financial Report are in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including:
-

Recognition of portfolio performance fee income
Refer to Note 2 to the Financial Report (portfolio performance fee income is allocated to management income and development income).
Recognition of portfolio performance fee income
Refer to Note 2 to the Financial Report (portfolio performance fee income is allocated to management income and development income).
The key audit matter
The Goodman Group, in its capacity as an investment manager, earns portfolio performance fees based on agreements with some of its managed partnerships.
Recognition of portfolio performance fee income is considered a key audit matter due to the:
-
- Quantum of portfolio performance fee income, relative to the Goodman Group’s total revenue; and
-
- Significant judgment exercised by us in assessing the amount of performance fees recognised by the Goodman Group. The key assumptions impacting the amount of performance fees are subject to estimation uncertainty, bias and inconsistent application. This increases the risk of inaccurate forecasts or a wider range of possible outcomes for us to consider. Increased time and effort is spent by the audit team in assessing these key assumptions.
The amount of portfolio performance fees recognised is impacted by key assumptions including:
-
- Fair value of underlying investment properties (a key driver of the quantum of performance fees recognised by the Goodman Group) held by the partnerships. The valuation of investment properties contains assumptions with estimation uncertainty such as expected capitalisation rates and market rental yields. This leads to additional audit effort due to the differing assumptions based on asset classes, geographies and characteristics of individual investment properties.
-
- The level of constraint applied. This is impacted by the Goodman Group’s expectations of how much of the performance fee is highly probable to be received in accordance with the requirements of the accounting standards.
How the matter was addressed in our audit
Our procedures included:
-
- Reading the Goodman Group’s agreements with managed partnerships to understand the key terms related to performance fees, including hurdle rates;
-
- Evaluating Goodman Group’s accounting policies regarding the recognition of performance fee income and valuation of investment properties against accounting standard requirements;
-
- Assessing the scope, competence and objectivity of the partnerships’ external experts and internal valuers to fair value the underlying investment properties held by the partnerships;
-
- With the assistance of real estate valuation specialists, challenging specific property fair value assumptions such as capitalisation rates and market rental yields by comparing to market analysis published by industry experts, recent market transactions, inquiries with the Stapled Group, historical performance of the underlying investment properties and using our industry experience;
-
- Comparing hurdle rates and performance fee rates to underlying partnership agreements and recalculated the performance fee income using the rates in the agreements applied to the value in excess of the hurdle value; and
-
- Challenging the constraints applied in determining the amount of performance fees that are highly probable to be received by the Goodman Group, based on the Goodman Group’s estimate of current and forecast partnership performance and the remaining tenure of the partnerships. We used our knowledge of the Goodman Group, their past performance, business, and our industry experience.
In assessing this Key Audit Matter, real estate valuation specialists, who understand the Group’s investment profile and business, were involved.

Recognition of development income ($1,134.3m)
Refer to Note 2 to the Financial Report
The key audit matter
Development income was a key audit matter due to:
How the matter was addressed in our audit
Our procedures included:
-
- its significant value (37% of revenue and other income);
-
- the high volume of transactions; and
-
- the judgements applied by us to assess the Goodman Group’s determination of revenue recognised during the period in relation to contracts which remain in progress at period end.
Development income comprises income from disposal of inventories, other development income (including development management) and income from fixed price construction contracts.
Income from development management services is recognised progressively, requiring judgment by us when considering the Goodman Group’s determination of the amount and extent of the services provided based on contract deliverables.
Income from certain inventory disposals and fixed price construction contracts is recognised in proportion to the stage of completion of the relevant contracts. We focused on the stage of completion estimation which is based on costs incurred as a percentage of estimated total costs for each contract.
-
- Selecting specific contracts from development income recognised (in relation to contracts that remain in progress at period end) based on quantitative and qualitative information (such as the size and complexity of the arrangement); and
-
- Evaluating Goodman Group’s recognition of development income against the criteria in the accounting standards.
For the specific contracts selected, our procedures included:
-
- Understanding the underlying contractual arrangements, in particular their unique terms;
-
- Where recognition of development income is conditional upon certain events occurring, checking correspondence with external parties for evidence of achievement of conditions;
-
- Assessing the Goodman Group’s determination of revenue recognised during the period in accordance with the provision of services stipulated in the underlying contract or the stage of completion;
-
- For revenue recognised based on the stage of completion, assessing a sample of costs incurred to date and total forecast costs against project feasibilities; and
-
- Challenging the key assumptions included in the Goodman Group’s project feasibilities by comparing to commentary published by industry experts, recent market transactions, and our knowledge of historical performance of the assets.

Valuation of investment properties ($1,897.1m), investments accounted for using the equity method ($8,530.9m) and inventories ($1,069.0m)
Refer to Note 6 to the Financial Report
The key audit matter
The valuations of property assets is a key audit matter as they are significant in value (being 77% of total assets) and contain assumptions with estimation uncertainty.
This leads to additional audit effort due to differing assumptions based on asset classes, geographies and characteristics of individual property assets.
The Goodman Group’s investments in property assets include investment properties and inventories, which are held either directly or through its investments accounted for using the equity method.
How the matter was addressed in our audit
Our procedures included:
-
- Obtaining an understanding of the Goodman Group’s process regarding the valuation of property assets;
-
- Assessing the methodologies used in the valuations of property assets, for consistency with accounting standards, industry practice and the Goodman Group’s policies; and
-
- Working with real estate valuation specialists to read published reports and industry commentary to gain an understanding of prevailing property market conditions.
Investment properties are held at fair value and inventories are held at the lower of cost and net realisable value. The valuations of property assets are determined using internal methodologies or through the use of external valuation experts.
The valuations of property assets include a number of significant assumptions:
-
- Investment properties:
-
capitalisation rates;
-
market rental yields;
-
weighted average lease expiry and vacancy levels;
-
projections of capital expenditure; and
-
lease incentive costs.
-
- Inventories:
-
forecast capitalisation rates and market rental yields;
-
land value per square metre;
-
letting up periods and lease incentive costs; and
-
– development costs.
For investment properties:
-
- Assessing the scope, competence and objectivity of external valuation experts and Goodman Group’s internal valuers;
-
- On a portfolio basis, taking into consideration asset classes, geographies and characteristics of individual investment properties, challenging significant assumptions, with reference to published reports or industry commentary, capitalisation rates; and
-
- With assistance of real estate valuation specialists, assessing a sample of significant assumptions including capitalisation rates, market rental yields, weighted average lease expiry and vacancy levels, projections of capital expenditure and lease incentive costs. We did this by comparing to market analysis published by industry experts, recent market transactions, inquiries with the Goodman Group, historical performance of the assets and using our industry experience.
For inventories:
In assessing this Key Audit Matter, we involved real estate valuation specialists, who understand the Group’s investment profile and business and the economic environment it operates in.
-
- Challenging the key assumptions included in the Goodman Group’s internal recoverability assessments (project feasibilities) and valuations by comparing to commentary published by industry experts, recent market transactions, and our knowledge of historical performance of the assets.

Independent Auditor’s Report To the stapled security holders of Goodman Group and the unitholders of Goodman Industrial Trust
Value of intangible assets ($840.0m)
Refer to Note 11 to the Financial Report($840m)
The key audit matter
At 30 June 2019 the Goodman Group’s intangible assets comprised goodwill and management rights. The valuation of intangible assets was identified as a key audit matter as the Goodman Group’s annual impairment assessment contains significant judgments involving forecasting and discounting future cash flows.
The impairment assessment is based on the value in use model performed for each division of the Goodman Group. The value in use models incorporate significant judgment in respect of future conditions and assumptions such as:
-
- forecast cash flows, growth rates and terminal growth rates, taking into consideration the level and margins of ongoing development activity and forecast funds management income (which is primarily dependent on assets under management). The Group’s models are sensitive to small changes in these assumptions, which may reduce available headroom. This drives additional audit effort specific to their feasibility and consistency of application to the Group’s strategy; and
-
- discount rates – these are complicated in nature and vary according to the conditions the division is subject to from time to time.
How the matter was addressed in our audit
Our procedures included:
-
- Considering the appropriateness of the value in use method applied by the Goodman Group to perform the annual test of goodwill and management rights impairment, against the requirements of the accounting standards.
-
- For divisions with significant intangible assets: – Working with our valuation specialists, evaluating the discount rates and terminal growth rates used in the value in use models by comparing to publicly available data of comparable entities;
-
Assessing the ability of the Goodman Group to accurately forecast by comparing previous forecasts to actual results;
-
Comparing the division’s forecast cash flows contained in the value in use models to Board approved forecasts;
-
Challenging the divisions forecast cash flows from development activity and funds management based on our understanding of local market conditions; and
-
Performing a sensitivity analysis on the discount rates, growth rates and forecast assets under management by applying a reasonably possible range of outcomes to focus our further procedures.
We involved valuation specialists in assessing this Key Audit Matter.
-
- Assessing the disclosures in the financial report using our understanding from our testing and against the requirements of the accounting standards.

-
- preparing the Financial Report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001;
-
- implementing necessary internal control to enable the preparation of a Financial Report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error and;
-
- assessing the Goodman Group and Trust’s ability to continue as a going concern and whether the use of the going concern basis of accounting is appropriate. This includes disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless they either intend to liquidate the Goodman Group or the Trust or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the Financial Report Our objective is:
-
- to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Financial Report as a whole is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; and
-
- to issue an Auditor’s Report that includes our opinion.
Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists.
Misstatements can arise from fraud or error. They are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of the Financial Report.

Report of the Directors Business review (continued)
Performance review
The Consolidated Entity has operations in Asia, Continental Europe and the United Kingdom (“UK”), and its earnings are derived from property investment, development and management activities.
In assessing Goodman Group’s underlying performance, the directors consider operating earnings as well as Goodman Group’s statutory profit. Operating earnings is a proxy for ‘cash earnings’ and is not an income measure under Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (“HKFRS”). It is defined as profit attributable to Shareholders adjusted for property valuations, impairment losses and other non‑cash adjustments or non‑recurring items.

| Operating profit | 328.1 | 243.9 |
- Net finance expense (operating) excludes derivative mark to market, unrealised foreign exchange movements and debt restructure expense.
Property investment activities
Property investment earnings in FY19 of $36.0 million were down on the prior year and comprised 7% of the total earnings (2018: 10%).

Property investment earnings comprise property income from completed developments held for sale and the Consolidated Entity’s share of the results of property investment joint ventures (referred to by the Consolidated Entity as “Partnerships”). The key drivers for maintaining or growing Goodman’s property investment earnings are increasing the level of assets under management (“AUM”) (subject also to the Consolidated Entity’s direct and indirect interest), maintaining or increasing occupancy and rental levels within the portfolio, and changes in financing arrangements.
The Consolidated Entity’s property portfolios are concentrated in large, urban centres around the world where demand from customers (including e‑commerce) who continue to invest in improving the efficiency of their supply chains, data centre users and urban renewals has put pressure on land use and availability. As a consequence, barriers to entry in these locations are high, land is scarce and, in some cases, supply is negative meaning that the properties should see higher valuation growth and higher returns over the long term.
Annual Report 2019
179
The Consolidated Entity’s share of investment earnings from its cornerstone holdings in the Partnerships increased by 6.9% to $30.9 million compared to the prior year. This was due to rental income growth from existing properties and the completion of developments both during FY18 and FY19.
During FY19, the Consolidated Entity’s share of property valuations from the stabilised portfolios was $137.0 million. Valuation gains were due to both capitalisation rate compression and the growth in rental income. At 30 June 2019, the weighted average capitalisation rate for the Consolidated Entity’s portfolios was 5.3%, compared to 5.8% at the start of FY19.
Development activities
In FY19, development earnings were $278.8 million, an increase of 36% on the prior year and comprised 53% of total operating earnings (2018: 52%).
Development activity continued to be strong with 40 developments completed during the year and work in progress of $2.0 billion across 25 projects at 30 June 2019. The increase in the Consolidated Entity’s earnings was primarily volume driven.

| Net development income | 225.5 | 182.2 |
| Partnerships | 53.3 | 22.7 |
| Development earnings | 278.8 | 204.9 |
Development earnings comprise development income (including development management fees) net of expenses, income from sales of properties (primarily inventories but also including disposals of special purpose entities in certain jurisdictions) and the Consolidated Entity’s share of the results of property development Partnerships. Development income includes performance related revenues associated with managing development activity in the Partnerships. The key drivers for the Consolidated Entity’s development earnings are the level of development activity, land and construction prices, property valuations and the continued availability of third party capital to fund development activity.
The majority of inventory disposals and fixed price contract income arose in Europe, as the Partnerships in Continental Europe generally acquire completed developments from the Consolidated Entity. In the Consolidated Entity’s other operating segments, development earnings are a mix of development management income, including performance related income, and transactional activity, including the Consolidated Entity’s share of development profits reported by the Partnerships themselves.
Consistent with Goodman Group’s strategy, development activity has been focused on key urban centres, where customer demand is high and the supply of industrial logistics is restricted. The scale of the projects has been growing over time as a consequence of the high value nature of these sites and the complexity associated with development of infill locations.

Report of the Directors Business review (continued)
Management activities
Management earnings in FY19 of $215.1 million increased by 44% compared to the prior year and comprised 40% of total operating earnings (2018: 38%). The two main drivers of management earnings were the increase in external AUM and the increasing contribution from portfolio performance fee income.
During FY19, external AUM increased by 22% to $20.2 billion from $16.5 billion as set out below:
| 2019 | 2018 | |
|---|---|---|
| $M | $M | |
| Management earnings | 215.1 | 149.5 |
| Key metrics | 2019 | 2018 |
| Number of Partnerships | 7 | 7 |
| External AUM ($B) | 20.2 | 16.5 |
Management earnings relates to the revenue from managing the property portfolios and the capital invested in the Partnerships (management income). This includes performance related revenues but excludes earnings from managing development activities in the Partnerships, which are included in development earnings. The key drivers for maintaining or growing management earnings are activity levels, asset performance, and increasing the level of AUM, which can be impacted by property valuations and asset disposals and is also dependent on liquidity including the continued availability of third party capital to fund both development activity and acquisitions across the Consolidated Entity’s Partnerships.
Base management fee income, earned from the overall management of the Partnerships, increased in line with the increase in AUM. This was supplemented by property services income, which increased in line with the gross property income in the Partnerships, and other income such as leasing fees and transactional fees.
In addition, the consistently high partnership returns over the past few years resulted in performance fee revenue growing to $92.3 million in FY19 from $38.9 million in the prior year. For FY19, performance fee revenue represented around 43% of the total management earnings, up from 26% in the prior year.

The value of cornerstone investments in Partnerships has increased by $319.7 million to $1,226.9 million, principally driven by capital contributions into existing Partnerships. A reconciliation of the current year movement in cornerstone investments in Partnerships is detailed in note 6(e) to the consolidated financial statements. Distributions of income and capital from cornerstone investments in the current year amounted to $102.1 million.
The increase in development holdings by $97.8 million to $541.2 million is primarily due to the additional expenditure on development projects in Continental Europe and China.

A greater amount of accrued income accounted for the increase in other assets by $209.1 million to $889.9 million. The majority of accrued income is expected to be received in FY20. The increase in other liabilities is principally due to an accrual for transaction management fees payable to a related party and an increase in accruals for cash settled performance rights issued to employees.

The movement in operating and investing cash flows from the comparative year is primarily attributable to the timing of development activities undertaken, both on balance sheet and in Partnerships, compared with the prior year. The lower operating cash inflow from development activities was partly offset by increased cash flows from management activities.
Investing cash flows primarily relate to investments in the Partnerships to fund development expenditure.
Financing cash flows comprise principally of proceeds of loans from related parties offset by dividends paid in FY19. The higher financing cash outflow in the prior financial year was due to the repayment of related party loans using excess operating cash.
Outlook
For FY20, business conditions are expected to remain favourable in the Consolidated Entity’s markets and the Consolidated Entity is strategically well placed given its financial and operational strength. An increase in performance is anticipated from each of the Consolidated Entity’s earning streams, subject to there being no material adverse change in market conditions or the occurrence of other unforeseen events.
Further information as to other likely developments in the operations of the Consolidated Entity and the expected results of those operations in future financial years has not been included in this report of the directors because disclosure of the information would be likely to result in unreasonable prejudice to the Consolidated Entity.
Risks
Goodman Group identifies strategic and operational risks for each of its regions as part of its strategy process. The key risks, an assessment of their likelihood of occurrence and consequences and controls that are in place to mitigate the risks are reported to the Goodman Group board annually.
Goodman Group has established formal systems and processes to manage the risks at each stage of its decision making process. This is facilitated by a Goodman Group Investment Committee comprising senior executives, chaired by the Group Chief Executive Officer, which considers all major operational decisions and transactions. The Goodman Group Investment Committee meets on a weekly basis.
The Goodman Group board has separate board committees to review and assess key risks. The Risk and Compliance Committee reviews and monitors a range of material risks in Goodman Group’s risk management systems including, among other risks, market, operational, sustainability, regulation and compliance and information technology. The Goodman Group Audit Committee reviews and monitors financial risk management and tax policies.

Environmental regulations
The Consolidated Entity has policies and procedures to identify and appropriately address environmental obligations that might arise in respect of the Consolidated Entity’s operations that are subject to significant environmental regulation under the laws of the countries the Consolidated Entity operates in. The directors have determined that the Consolidated Entity has complied with those obligations during the financial year and that there has not been any material breach.
Disclosure in respect of any indemnification of directors
A permitted indemnity provision (as defined in section 469 of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance) for the benefit of the directors of the Company is currently in force and was in force throughout this year.
Directors’ interests in contracts
No contract of significance in relation to the Consolidated Entity’s business to which the Company, its subsidiaries or any of its fellow subsidiaries was a party and in which the directors of the Company had a material interest, whether directly or indirectly, subsisted at the end of the year or at any time during the year.

Independent Auditor’s Report To the members of Goodman Logistics (HK) Limted (Incorporated in Hong Kong with limited liability)
Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
Opinion
We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Goodman Logistics (HK) Limited (“the Company”) and its subsidiaries (“the Group”) set out on pages 188 to 231, which comprise the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2019, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated cash flow statement for the year then ended and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements give a true and fair view of the consolidated financial position of the Group as at 30 June 2019 and of its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (“HKFRSs”) issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“HKICPA”) and have been properly prepared in compliance with the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance.
Basis for opinion
In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibilities of the directors for the consolidated financial statements
The directors are responsible for the preparation of the consolidated financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with HKFRSs issued by the HKICPA and the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
We conducted our audit in accordance with Hong Kong Standards on Auditing (“HKSAs”) issued by the HKICPA. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the HKICPA’s Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (“the Code”) and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements
Information other than the consolidated financial statements and auditor’s report thereon
The directors are responsible for the other information which comprises all the information included in the Company’s Report of the directors.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. This report is made solely to you, as a body, in accordance with section 405 of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance, and for no other purpose. We do not assume responsibility towards or accept liability to any other person for the contents of this report.
Annual Report 2019
187
Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with HKSAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with HKSAs, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
-
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
-
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the directors.
-
Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
-
Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the Group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with the directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements
(expressed in Australian dollars)
BASIS OF PREPARATION
1 Basis of preparation
A party need not do anything under the above arrangements to the extent that the party considers that it is not in the interests of Goodman Group Securityholders as a whole, or would cause a member of the party’s group to contravene or breach applicable laws or particular finance arrangements.
(a) Statement of compliance
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with all applicable Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (“HKFRSs”), which collective term includes all applicable individual Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards, Hong Kong Accounting Standards (“HKASs”) and Interpretations issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“HKICPA”) and accounting principles generally accepted in Hong Kong. These financial statements also comply with the applicable requirements of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance.
(b) Basis of preparation of the consolidated financial statements
The measurement basis used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements is the historical cost basis except for investment properties and other financial assets which are stated at fair value.
As at 30 June 2019, the Consolidated Entity had net current liabilities of $14.4 million. In accordance with the stapling agreement between the Company (“GLHK”), Goodman Limited (“GL”) and Goodman Funds Management Limited as responsible entity for Goodman Industrial Trust (“GIT”), on request, each party (and its subsidiaries) must provide financial support to the other party (and its subsidiaries). The financial support to the other party (and its subsidiaries) may include:
-
- lending money or providing financial accommodation;
-
- guaranteeing any loan or other financing facility including providing any security;
On the basis of the above, the consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with HKFRSs requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgements about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
(c) Principles of consolidation
Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Company. The Company controls an entity when it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. When assessing whether the Company has power, only substantive rights (held by the Company and other parties) are considered.
-
- entering into any covenant, undertaking, restraint, negative pledge on the obtaining of any financial accommodation or the provision of any guarantee or security in connection with any financial accommodation; and
-
- entering into any joint borrowing or joint financial accommodation and providing any guarantee, security, indemnities and undertakings in connection with the relevant joint borrowing or joint financial accommodation.
Annual Report 2019
195
An investment in a controlled entity is consolidated into the consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases. When an entity ceases to be controlled by the Company, it is accounted for as a disposal of the entire interest in the entity, with a resulting gain or loss being recognised in profit or loss.
In the Company’s statement of financial position, an investment in a subsidiary is stated at cost less impairment losses.
Accounting for acquisitions of
non‑controlling interests
Acquisitions of non‑controlling interests are accounted for as transactions with equity holders in their capacity as equity holders and therefore no gain or loss and no goodwill is recognised as a result of such transactions.
Joint ventures
A joint venture (“JV”) is an arrangement (referred to by the Consolidated Entity as a “Partnership”) in which the Consolidated Entity is considered to have joint control for accounting purposes, whereby the Consolidated Entity has rights to the net assets of the arrangement, rather than rights to its assets and obligations for its liabilities. In the consolidated financial statements, investments in JVs are accounted for using the equity method. Investments in JVs are carried at the lower of the equity accounted amount and recoverable amount. The Consolidated Entity’s share of the JVs’ net profit or loss is recognised in the consolidated profit or loss from the date the arrangement commences to the date the arrangement ceases. Movements in reserves are recognised directly in the consolidated reserves.
Combination of entities or businesses under common control
Where the Consolidated Entity acquires entities or businesses from other members of Goodman Group such that all of the combining entities (businesses) are ultimately controlled by Goodman Group Securityholders both before and after the combination, the Consolidated Entity applies the pooling of interests method.
At the date of the combination of entities under common control, the assets and liabilities of the combining entities are reflected at their carrying amounts. No adjustments are made to reflect fair values, or recognise any new assets or liabilities that would otherwise be done under the acquisition method. The only goodwill that is recognised is any existing goodwill relating to either of the combining entities. Any difference between the consideration transferred and the equity “acquired” by the Consolidated Entity is reflected within equity (common control reserve).
Similar to the acquisition method, the results of the “acquired” entity are included only from the date control commenced. Comparatives are not restated to present the consolidated financial statements as if the entities had always been combined.
Transactions eliminated on consolidation
Unrealised gains resulting from transactions with JVs, including those relating to contributions of non‑monetary assets on establishment, are eliminated to the extent of the Consolidated Entity’s interest. Unrealised gains relating to JVs are eliminated against the carrying amount of the investment. Unrealised losses are eliminated in the same way as unrealised gains, unless they evidence an impairment of an asset.

(d) Foreign currency translation
(e) Changes in accounting policies
Functional and presentation currency
Items included in the consolidated financial statements of each of the Company’s subsidiaries are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (“functional currency”). The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is the Company’s functional and presentation currency.
Transactions
Foreign currency transactions are translated to each entity’s functional currency at rates approximating the foreign exchange rates ruling at the dates of the transactions. Amounts receivable and payable in foreign currencies at the reporting date are translated at the rates of exchange ruling on that date. Resulting exchange differences are recognised in profit or loss.
Non‑monetary assets and liabilities that are measured in terms of historical cost are translated at rates of exchange applicable at the date of the initial transaction. Non‑monetary items which are measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was determined.
Translation of controlled foreign operations
The assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated into Australian dollars at foreign exchange rates applicable at the reporting date.
Revenue and expenses are translated at weighted average rates for the financial year. Exchange differences arising on translation are taken directly to the foreign currency translation reserve until the disposal or partial disposal of the operations.
Exchange differences arising on monetary items that form part of the net investment in a foreign operation are recognised in the foreign currency translation reserve on consolidation.
The Consolidated Entity has adopted HKFRS 9 Financial Instruments and HKFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers , with a date of initial application of 1 July 2018.
HKFRS 9 Financial Instruments
HKFRS 9 sets out the recognition, classification and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities, derecognition of financial instruments, hedge accounting and impairment of financial assets. HKFRS 9 replaces HKAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement .
(i) Classification and measurement
HKFRS 9 categorises financial assets into three principal classification categories: measured at amortised cost, at fair value through other comprehensive income and at fair value through profit or loss. These supersede HKAS 39’s categories of held‑to maturity investments, loans and receivables, available for sale financial assets and financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss. The adoption of HKFRS 9 has not had a material impact on the results of the Consolidated Entity. Under the standard, the Consolidated Entity may elect to classify its investments in unlisted securities as fair value through other comprehensive income or fair value through profit or loss. The Consolidated Entity has determined that it will continue to recognise fair value movements through other comprehensive income.
(ii) Impairment of financial assets
The new impairment model in HKFRS 9 replaces the “incurred loss” model in HKAS 39 with an “expected credit loss” model. The new impairment model applies to financial assets measured at amortised cost and contract assets. The financial assets held by the Consolidated Entity that are subject to the new expected credit loss model include cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, amounts and loans due from related parties and other receivables.
Annual Report 2019
197
The Consolidated Entity is required to revise the impairment methodology under HKFRS 9 for each of these classes of assets. The change in methodology did not have a material impact on the results of the Consolidated Entity.
HKFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers
HKFRS 15 provides a single revenue recognition model based on the transfer of goods and services and the consideration expected to be received in return for that transfer. The adoption of HKFRS 15 has resulted in a change in accounting policy for revenue recognition associated with inventory disposals, such that revenue is recognised on transfer of control of the asset rather than the transfer of the significant risks and rewards associated with the asset. This change has not had a material impact on the revenue, profit and net assets reported in previous periods but the consolidated statement of financial position now includes additional captions for “Contract assets” and “Contract liabilities”.
In accordance with the transition provisions in HKFRS 15, the Consolidated Entity has adopted the new rules retrospectively and has restated the comparative statement of financial position at the date of initial application as set out below:

Notes to the consolidated financial statements Basis of preparation (continued) 1 Basis of preparation (continued)
Contract assets
Contract assets include amounts recoverable in respect of investment management contracts and fixed price development contracts. These were previously recognised as receivables.
Contract liabilities
Contract liabilities relate to consideration received in advance of the completion of development contracts and rental guarantees provided by the Consolidated Entity in respect of inventory disposal and fixed price development contracts. These were previously recognised as payables.
The HKICPA has issued several amendments to HKFRSs that are first effective for the current accounting period of the Consolidated Entity. The adoption of the amendments did not have any material impact on the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.
The Consolidated Entity has not applied any new standard or interpretation that is not yet effective for the current accounting period.
(f) Accounting standards issued but not yet effective
The Consolidated Entity will apply HKFRS 16 initially on 1 July 2019 using the modified retrospective approach. Under this approach, the cumulative effect of initially applying this standard is recognised at the date of initial application. The Consolidated Entity will recognise a lease liability at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate at the date of initial application and a right of use asset equal to the lease liability, adjusted for any prepaid or accrued lease payments. The Consolidated Entity estimates that it will recognise $18.5 million of right of use assets and lease liabilities at 1 July 2019 relating to office equipment and motor vehicles. In relation to the lease of development land held as inventories, an estimated $15.9 million of right of use assets and lease liabilities will be recognised at 1 July 2019.
The Consolidated Entity plans to apply the practical expedient to grandfather the definition of a lease on transition. This means that it will apply HKFRS 16 to all contracts entered into before 1 July 2019 and identified as leases in accordance with HKAS 17.
(g) Critical accounting estimates used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements
As at the date of this consolidated financial report, HKFRS16 Leases was available for early adoption but has not been applied in preparing these financial statements.
HKFRS 16 replaces HKAS 17 Leases and other existing guidance on leases. It introduces a single lessee accounting model and requires a lessee to recognise assets and liabilities for all leases with a term of more than 12 months, unless the underlying asset is of low value. A lessee is required to recognise a right of use asset representing its right to use the underlying leased asset and a lease liability representing its obligations to make lease payments. The new standard will become mandatory for the Consolidated Entity’s 30 June 2020 financial statements and will result in the gross up of assets and liabilities where the Consolidated Entity leases office buildings, motor vehicles and development land classified as inventories.
The preparation of consolidated financial statements requires estimates and assumptions concerning the application of accounting policies and the future to be made by the Consolidated Entity. Estimates are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year can be found in the following notes:
-
- Note 6 – Property assets; and
-
- Note 12 – Financial risk management.
The accounting impacts of revisions to estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised and in any future periods affected.
Annual Report 2019
199
Measurement of fair values
A number of the Consolidated Entity’s accounting policies and disclosures require the measurement of fair values, for both financial and non‑financial assets and liabilities.
When measuring the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Consolidated Entity uses market observable data as far as possible. Fair values are categorised into different levels in a fair value hierarchy and have been defined as follows:
-
- Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
-
- Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); and
-
- Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
Further information about the assumptions made in measuring fair values is included in the following notes:
-
- Note 6 – Property assets; and
-
- Note 12 – Financial risk management.
RESULTS FOR THE YEAR
2 Profit before interest and tax
Management and development income
The revenue from management and development activities is measured based on the consideration specified in a contract with a customer. The Consolidated Entity recognises revenue when it transfers control over a product or service to a customer.
Management income
Fee income derived from investment management and property services is recognised and invoiced progressively as the services are provided. Customers make payments usually either monthly or quarterly in arrears.
Performance related investment management income is recognised progressively as the services are provided but only when the income can be reliably measured and is highly probable of not being reversed. These portfolio performance fees are typically dependent on the overall returns of a Partnership relative to an agreed benchmark return, assessed over the life of the Partnership, which can vary from one year to seven years. The returns are impacted by operational factors such as quality and location of the portfolio, active property management and rental income rates but can also be significantly affected by changes in global and local economic conditions. Accordingly, performance fee revenue is only recognised at a point close to the end of the relevant assessment period, as prior to this revenue recognition is not considered to be sufficiently certain.
Gross property income
Gross property income comprises rental income under operating leases (net of incentives provided) and amounts billed to customers for outgoings (e.g. rates, levies, cleaning, security, etc.). Amounts billed to customers for outgoings are a cost recovery for the Consolidated Entity and are recognised once the expense has been incurred. The expense is included in property expenses.
Rental income under operating leases is recognised on a straight‑line basis over the term of the lease contract. Where operating lease rental income is recognised relating to fixed increases in rentals in future years, an asset is recognised. This asset is a component of the relevant investment property carrying amount. The cost of lease incentives provided to customers is amortised on a straight‑line basis over the life of the lease as a reduction of gross property income.
In determining the amount of revenue that can be reliably measured, management prepares a sensitivity analysis to understand the impact of changes in asset valuations on the potential performance fee at the assessment date. The assessment of revenue will depend on the prevailing market conditions at the reporting date relative to long‑term averages and also the length of time until the assessment date e.g. the longer the time period to assessment date, the greater the impact of the sensitivity analysis. The potential portfolio performance fee revenue is then recognised based on the length of time from the start of the assessment period to the reporting date as a proportion of the total assessment period. Payments are made at the end of the performance periods.

Development income – disposal of inventories
The disposal of inventories is recognised at the point in time when control over the property asset is transferred to the customer. This will generally occur on transfer of legal title and payment in full by the customer. The gain or loss on disposal of inventories is calculated as the difference between the carrying amount of the asset at the time of disposal and the proceeds on disposal (less transaction costs) and is included in the profit or loss in the period of disposal.
relevant contracts by reference to costs. The payments may be on completion of the development once legal title has been transferred. The development phase is usually between six months and 12 months but may be longer.
Net gain on disposal of investment properties The disposal of an investment property is recognised at the point in time when control over the property has been transferred to the purchaser.
Development income – development management services
Fee income from development management services (including master‑planning, development management and overall project management) is recognised progressively as the services are provided in proportion to the stage of completion by reference to costs. Payments are received in accordance with the achievement of agreed milestones over the development period. The development period is usually between six months and 12 months, but can be longer for larger and more complex developments.
Employee benefits
Wages, salaries and annual leave
Wages and salaries, including non‑monetary benefits, and annual leave that are expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date represent present obligations resulting from employees’ services provided to the reporting date. These are calculated at undiscounted amounts based on rates that are expected to be paid as at the reporting date including related on‑costs, such as workers’ compensation insurance and payroll tax.
Performance related development management income is recognised by the Consolidated Entity on attainment of the performance related conditions, which is when the income can be reliably measured and is highly probable of not being reversed. These amounts are paid by the Partnership when the amounts have been measured and agreed.
Development income – fixed price development contracts
Certain development activities are assessed as being fixed price development contracts. This occurs when a signed contract exists, either prior to the commencement of or during the development phase, to acquire a development asset from the Consolidated Entity on completion. Revenue and expenses relating to these development contracts are recognised in profit or loss in proportion to the stage of completion of the
Bonuses
A liability is recognised in other payables and accruals for bonuses where there is a contractual obligation or where there is a past practice that has created a constructive obligation. Liabilities for bonuses that are expected to be settled within 12 months are measured at the amounts expected to be paid, including related on‑costs, when they are settled. Liabilities for bonuses, including related on‑costs, which are expected to be settled after more than 12 months are discounted to reflect the estimated timing of payments.
Defined contribution retirement plans
Obligations for contributions to defined contribution retirement plans are recognised as an expense as incurred.

3 Segment reporting
An operating segment is a component of the Consolidated Entity that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses. The Consolidated Entity reports the results and financial position of its operating segments based on the internal reports regularly reviewed by the Group Chief Executive Officer in order to assess each segment’s performance and to allocate resources to them.
Operating segment information is reported on a geographic basis and the Consolidated Entity has determined that its operating segments are Asia (which consists of Greater China and Japan), Continental Europe and the United Kingdom.
The activities and services undertaken by the operating segments include:
-
- property investment, comprising the Consolidated Entity’s cornerstone investments in Partnerships;
-
- management activities, both fund and property management; and
-
- development activities, including development of directly owned assets (predominantly disclosed as inventories) and management of development activities for the Consolidated Entity’s Partnerships.
The segment results that are reported to the Group Chief Executive Officer are based on profit before net

finance expense and income tax expense, and also exclude non‑cash items such as fair value adjustments and impairments, corporate expenses and incentive based remuneration. The assets allocated to each operating segment primarily include inventories, and the operating segment’s investments in Partnerships, but exclude receivables from GL, GIT and their controlled entities, income tax receivables and corporate assets. The liabilities allocated to each operating segment primarily relate to trade and other payables associated with the operating activities, but exclude payables to GL, GIT and their controlled entities, provision for dividends to Shareholders, income tax payables and corporate liabilities.
The accounting policies used to report segment information are the same as those used to prepare the consolidated financial statements for the Consolidated Entity.
There are no intersegment transactions.

4 Income tax expense
Income tax for the period comprises current tax and movements in deferred tax assets and liabilities. Current tax and movements in deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that they relate to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case the relevant amounts of tax are recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.
Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the period, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities arise from deductible and taxable temporary differences respectively, being the differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets also arise from unused tax losses and unused tax credits. Apart from differences which arise on initial recognition of assets and liabilities, all deferred tax liabilities and all deferred tax assets, to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the asset can be utilised, are recognised.
The amount of deferred tax recognised is measured based on the expected manner of realisation or settlement of the carrying amount of the assets and liabilities, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are not discounted.

The consolidated profit attributable to equity shareholders of the Company includes a profit of $114.7 million (2018: $222.1 million) which has been dealt with in the financial statements of the Company.
Investment properties
Investment properties comprise investment interests in land and buildings held for the purpose of leasing to produce rental income and/or for capital appreciation. Investment properties are carried at fair value. The calculation of fair value requires estimates and assumptions which are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Investment properties are not depreciated as they are subject to continual maintenance and regularly revalued on the basis described below. Changes in the fair value of investment properties are recognised directly in profit or loss.
OPERATING ASSETS AND LIABILITIES
6 Property assets
(a) Types of property assets
Components of investment properties
Land and buildings (including integral plant and equipment) comprising investment properties are regarded as composite assets and are disclosed as such in the consolidated financial statements.
Investment in property assets includes both inventories and investment properties (including those under development), which may be held either directly or through investments in Partnerships.
Inventories
Inventories relate to land and property developments that are held for sale or development and sale in the normal course of business. Where property developments are forecast to be completed and sold more than 12 months after the reporting date, then the inventories are classified as non‑current.
Work in progress in relation to land subdivision and development projects includes the costs of acquisition, planning, management and development and holding costs such as interest and taxes.
Inventories are carried at the lower of cost or net realisable value. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the normal course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and selling expenses. The calculation of net realisable value requires estimates and assumptions which are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
Investment property carrying values include the costs of acquiring the assets and subsequent costs of development, including costs of all labour and materials used in construction, costs of managing the projects, holding costs and borrowing costs incurred during the development periods.
Amounts provided to customers as lease incentives and assets relating to fixed rental income increases in operating lease contracts are included within investment property values. Lease incentives are amortised over the term of the lease on a straight‑line basis. Direct expenditure associated with leasing a property is also capitalised within investment property values and amortised over the term of the lease.
Classification of investment properties
Investment properties are classified as either properties under development or stabilised properties. Investment properties under development include land, new investment properties in the course of construction and investment properties that are being redeveloped. Stabilised investment properties are all investment properties not classified as being under development and would be completed properties that are leased or are available for lease to customers.
Annual Report 2019
207
For investment properties under development, the carrying values are reviewed by management at each reporting date to consider whether they reflect their fair value and at completion external valuations are obtained to determine the fair values.
market. Where the feasibility study calculations indicate that the forecast cost of a completed development will exceed the net realisable value, then the inventories are impaired.
Stabilised investment properties
For stabilised investment properties, independent valuations are obtained at least every three years to determine the fair values. At each reporting date between obtaining independent valuations, the carrying values are reviewed by management to ensure they reflect the fair values.
Deposits for investment properties
Deposits and other costs associated with acquiring investment properties that are incurred prior to obtaining legal title are recorded at cost and disclosed as other assets in the statement of financial position.

(c) Estimates and assumptions in determining property carrying values
The fair value of stabilised investment properties is based on current prices in an active market for similar properties in the same location and condition and subject to similar lease and other contracts. The current price is the estimated amount for which a property could be exchanged between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm’s length transaction after proper marketing wherein the parties had each acted knowledgably, prudently and without compulsion.
Approach to determination of fair value
The approach to determination of fair value of investment properties is applied to both investment properties held directly and investment properties held in Partnerships.
Valuations are determined based on assessments and estimates of uncertain future events, including upturns and downturns in property markets and availability of similar properties, vacancy rates, market rents and capitalisation and discount rates. Recent and relevant sales evidence and other market data are taken into account. Valuations are either based on an external, independent valuation or on an internal valuation.
External valuations are undertaken only where market segments were observed to be active. In making the determination of whether a market segment is active, the following characteristics are considered:
-
- function of the asset (distribution/warehouse or suburban office);
-
- location of the asset (city, suburb or regional area);
Inventories
For both inventories held directly and inventories held in Partnerships, external valuations are not performed but instead valuations are determined using the feasibility studies supporting the land and property developments. The end values of the developments in the feasibility studies are based on assumptions such as capitalisation rates, letting up periods and incentives that are consistent with those observed in the relevant
-
- carrying value of the asset (categorised by likely appeal to private (including syndicates), national and institutional investors); and
-
- categorisation as primary or secondary based on a combination of location, weighted average lease expiry, quality of tenant covenant (internal assessment based on available market evidence) and age of construction.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements Operating assets and liabilities (continued) 6 Property assets (continued)
Each property asset is assessed and grouped with assets in the same or similar market segments. Information on all relevant recent sales is also analysed using the same criteria to provide a comparative set. Unless three or more sales are observed in an individual market segment (taken together with any comparable market segments as necessary), that market segment is considered inactive.
Where a market segment is observed to be active, then external, independent valuations are performed for stabilised investment properties where there has been more than a 25 basis point movement in capitalisation rates and/or there has been a material change in tenancy profile and/or there has been significant capital expenditure, and/or there has been a change in use (or zoning) of the asset and/or it has been three years since the previous external, independent valuation. For all other stabilised investment properties in an active market segment, an internal valuation is performed based on observable capitalisation rates and referenced to independent market data.
Where a market segment is observed to be inactive, then no external, independent valuations are performed and internal valuations are undertaken based on discounted cash flow (DCF) calculations. The DCF calculations are prepared over a 10 year period. The key inputs considered for each individual calculation are rental growth rates, discount rates, market rental rates and letting up incentives. Discount rates are computed using the 10 year bond rate or equivalent in each jurisdiction plus increments to reflect country risk, tenant credit risk and industry risk. Where possible, the components of the discount rate are benchmarked to available market data.
Market assessment
At 30 June 2019, all markets in which the Consolidated Entity operated were observed to be active and no adjustments were made to the carrying value of stabilised investment properties arising from internal valuations using DCF calculations. Overall weighted average capitalisation rates for the divisional portfolios (including Partnerships) are set out in the table below:
| Total | portfolio | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| weighted | average | ||

5.1 4.7 |
Investment properties under development
External valuations are generally not performed for investment properties under development, but instead valuations are determined using the feasibility studies supporting the developments. The end values of the developments in the feasibility studies are based on assumptions such as capitalisation rates, letting up periods and incentives that are consistent with those observed in the relevant market adjusted for a profit and risk factor. This profit and risk factor is dependent on the function, location, size and current status of the development and is generally in a market range of 10% to 15%. This adjusted end value is then compared to the forecast cost of a completed development to determine whether there is an increase or decrease in value.

Annual Report 2019

7 Receivables
Non‑derivative financial assets
The Consolidated Entity initially recognises loans and receivables and deposits on the date that they are originated. All other financial assets are recognised initially on the trade date at which the Consolidated Entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
The Consolidated Entity derecognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or it transfers the right to receive the contractual cash flows on the financial asset in a transaction in which substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred. Any interest in transferred financial assets that is created or retained by the Consolidated Entity is recognised as a separate asset or liability.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the statement of financial position when, and only when, the Consolidated Entity has a legal right to offset the amounts and intends to either settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Loans and receivables
Loans and receivables are financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Such assets are recognised initially at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, loans and receivables are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, less allowance for impairment of doubtful debts, except where the receivables are interest free loans made to related parties without any fixed repayment terms or the effect of discounting would be immaterial. In such cases, the receivables are stated at cost less allowance for impairment of doubtful debts.
Loans and receivables comprise trade and other receivables, amounts due from related parties and loans to related parties.
Amounts recoverable on development contracts Amounts recoverable on development contracts arise when the Consolidated Entity contracts to sell a completed development asset either prior to or during the development phase. The receivables are stated at cost plus profit recognised to date less an allowance for foreseeable losses and less amounts already billed.
Impairment
Non‑financial assets
The carrying amounts of the Consolidated Entity’s assets (except inventories, refer to note 6(d); and deferred tax assets, refer to note 4) are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If such indication exists, the asset is written down to the recoverable amount. The impairment is recognised in profit or loss in the reporting period in which it occurs.
An impairment loss is recognised whenever the carrying amount of an asset or its cash‑generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss, unless an asset has previously been revalued, in which case the impairment loss is recognised as a reversal to the extent of that previous revaluation, with any excess recognised through profit or loss.
Impairment losses recognised in respect of
cash‑generating units are allocated to the carrying amount of any identified intangible asset and then to reduce the carrying amount of the other assets in the unit (group of units) on a pro rata basis.
Financial assets and contract assets
The Consolidated Entity recognises an impairment loss allowance for expected credit losses (ECLs) on financial assets measured at amortised cost and contract assets. Financial assets measured at amortised cost include cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, amounts and loans due from related parties and other receivables.
Other financial assets measured at fair value are not subject to the ECL assessment.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements Operating assets and liabilities (continued) 7 Receivables (continued)
Measurement of ECLs
ECLs are a probability‑weighted estimate of credit losses. Credit losses are measured as the present value of all expected cash shortfalls. In measuring ECLs, the Consolidated Entity takes into account information about past events, current conditions and forecasts of future economic conditions.
Impairment loss allowances for trade receivables, amounts due from related parties, other receivables and contract asset are measured at an amount equal to a lifetime ECL. Lifetime ECLs are losses that are expected to result from all possible default events over the expected lives of the items to which the ECL model applies.
Trade receivables
No trade receivables were impaired at 30 June 2019 and 2018. There are no significant overdue trade receivables at 30 June 2019.
Other receivables
At 30 June 2019, none of the other receivables balance was overdue or impaired (2018: $nil).
Amounts due from related parties
At 30 June 2019, none of the amounts due from related parties was overdue or impaired (2018: $nil). Amounts due from related parties are typically repayable within 30 days. The amounts due from related parties are unsecured.
The Consolidated Entity recognises an impairment loss allowance equal to the expected losses within 12 months after the reporting date on loans to related parties, unless there has been a significant increase in credit risk of the loans since initial recognition, in which case the loss allowance is measured at an amount equal to lifetime ECLs.
Loans to related parties
Loans to related parties principally relate to loans to fellow subsidiaries of GL and GIT and loans to JVs. Refer to note 19(c) for details of loans to related parties. During the year, no impairment losses were recognised on loans to related parties (2018: nil impairment). The loans to related parties are unsecured.

Contract assets primarily comprise amounts recoverable from fixed price development contracts (disclosed net of any payments received on account) and accrued performance fee income where the Consolidated Entity assesses that the income can be reliably measured.
Contract liabilities primarily comprise deposits and other amounts received in advance for development contracts and rental guarantees.
1 The comparative figures have been restated to reflect the allocation of certain receivables to contract assets in accordance with HKFRS 15.
The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the fair value of each class of receivable mentioned above. All non‑current receivables of the Consolidated Entity are due within five years from the reporting date. There is no material difference between the carrying values and the fair values of receivables.

Transaction price allocated to the remaining contract obligations
The amount of the transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations under the Consolidated Entity’s existing contracts is $21.9 million. This amount represents revenue expected to be recognised in the future from ongoing management and fixed price development contracts with customers. The Consolidated Entity will recognise the expected revenue in the future as the work is completed, which is expected to be within the next 12 months.
In addition, the Consolidated Entity receives investment management, development management and property services fees under various contracts that it has with its Partnerships. These contracts are for varying lengths of time and are typically transacted on terms that are consistent with market practice. The revenues under these contracts are linked to the assets under management, total development project costs or gross property income of the Partnerships and are invoiced as the services are provided.
liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.
Other financial liabilities comprise trade and other payables and loans from related parties (refer to note 19(c)).

Non‑derivative financial liabilities
The Consolidated Entity initially recognises debt securities issued and subordinated liabilities on the date that they are originated. All other financial liabilities are recognised initially on the trade date at which the Consolidated Entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
The Consolidated Entity derecognises a financial liability when the contractual obligations are discharged or cancelled or expire.
CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
10 Finance income and expense
Finance income
Interest is recognised on an accruals basis using the effective interest rate method, and, if not received at the reporting date, is reflected in the statement of financial position as a receivable.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the statement of financial position when, and only when, the Consolidated Entity has a legal right to offset the amounts and intends to either settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
The Consolidated Entity has classified non‑derivative financial liabilities into the other financial liabilities category. Such financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, these financial
Finance expense
Expenditure incurred in obtaining debt finance is offset against the principal amount of the interest bearing liability to which it relates, and is recognised as a finance cost on an effective interest rate basis over the life of the facility or until the facility is significantly modified. Where a facility is significantly modified, any unamortised expenditure in relation to that facility and incremental expenditure incurred in modifying the facility are recognised as a finance cost in the financial year in which the significant modification occurs. Finance costs relating to a qualifying asset are
Annual Report 2019
215
capitalised as part of the cost of that asset using a weighted average cost of debt. Qualifying assets are assets which take a substantial time to get ready for their intended use or sale. All other finance costs are expensed using the effective interest rate method.
The Consolidated Entity’s derivative financial instruments are not designated as a hedge for accounting purposes, and accordingly movements in the fair value of derivative financial instruments are recognised in profit or loss.

Subsequent to initial recognition, investments in unlisted securities are measured at fair value and changes therein are recognised as other comprehensive income and presented in the asset revaluation reserve in equity. Dividends are recognised as income in profit or loss unless the dividend clearly represents a recovery of part of the cost of the investment. Other net gains and losses are recognised in comprehensive income and are never reclassified to profit or loss. When such an asset is derecognised, the cumulative gain or loss in equity is transferred to retained earnings.

11 Other financial assets and liabilities
Other financial assets and liabilities are recognised initially on the trade date at which the Consolidated Entity become a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Derivative financial instruments and hedging
The Consolidated Entity uses derivative financial instruments to hedge its economic exposure to foreign exchange and interest rate risks arising from operating, investing and financing activities. In accordance with its treasury policy, the Consolidated Entity does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for speculative trading purposes.

12 Financial risk management
(a) Market risk
The Consolidated Entity’s capital management and financial risk management processes are managed as part of the wider Goodman Group. There are established policies, documented in Goodman Group’s financial risk management (“FRM”) policy document, to ensure both the efficient use of capital and the appropriate management of the exposure to financial risk.
Goodman Group’s treasury function is responsible for monitoring the day to day compliance with Goodman Group’s FRM policies and prepares reports for consideration by management committees and Goodman Group’s Board including:
-
- cash flow projections over a period of at least 12 months to assess the level of cash and undrawn facilities, and headline gearing at each month end;
-
- debt maturity profile, to allow the Goodman Group to plan well in advance of maturing facilities;
-
- interest rate hedge profile over the next 10 years, to allow Goodman Group to manage the proportion of fixed and floating rate debt in accordance with its FRM policy; and
-
- capital hedge position (by currency) and profile of expiring currency derivatives, to allow Goodman Group to manage its net investment hedging in accordance with its FRM policy.
Any significant investments or material changes to the finance facilities or FRM policies require approval by the Goodman Group Board.
The Consolidated Entity’s key financial risks are market risk (including foreign exchange and interest rate risk), liquidity risk and credit risk.
Foreign exchange risk
The Consolidated Entity is exposed to transactional foreign currency risk and net investment foreign currency risk through its investments in Hong Kong, Japan, China, Continental Europe and the United Kingdom. Foreign exchange risk represents the loss that would be recognised from adverse fluctuations in currency prices as a result of future commercial transactions, recognised assets and liabilities and, principally, net investments in foreign operations.
Goodman Group manages foreign currency exposure on a consolidated basis. In managing foreign currency risks, Goodman Group aims to reduce the impact of short‑term fluctuations on earnings and net assets. However, over the long term, permanent changes in foreign exchange will have an impact on both earnings and net assets.
Goodman Group’s capital hedge policy for each overseas region is to hedge between 65% and 90% of foreign currency denominated assets with foreign currency denominated liabilities. This is achieved by borrowing in the same functional currency as the investments to form a natural economic hedge against any foreign currency fluctuations and/or using derivatives such as CCIRS.
During the year, the Consolidated Entity entered into CCIRS to hedge its net investment in Continental Europe. The CCIRS have a principal amount payable and receivable on maturity in FY26 of EUR 495.0 million and AUD 803.0 million respectively. A fair value loss of $6.7 million was recognised in profit or loss on revaluation of the CCIRS at 30 June 2019.
Annual Report 2019
217
The Consolidated Entity has minimal transactional foreign exchange risk as the majority of transactions in each division are in the functional currency of each division.
Price risk
The Consolidated Entity is not exposed to price risk.
(b) Liquidity risk
Sensitivity analysis
Throughout the financial year, if the Australian dollar had been 5% (2018: 5%) stronger against all other currencies, with all other variables held constant, the Consolidated Entity’s profit attributable to Shareholders, excluding derivative mark to market and unrealised foreign exchange movements, would have decreased by $31.5 million (2018: $17.4 million). If the Australian dollar had been 5% (2018: 5%) weaker against all other currencies, with all other variables held constant, the Consolidated Entity’s profit attributable to Shareholders, excluding derivative mark to market and unrealised foreign exchange movements, would have increased by $31.5 million (2018: $17.4 million).
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Consolidated Entity will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Consolidated Entity’s objective is to maintain sufficient liquidity resources for working capital, meet its financial obligations and liabilities, pay distributions and provide funds for capital expenditure and investment opportunities. Management seeks to achieve these objectives through the preparation of regular forecast cash flows to understand the application and use of funds and through the identification of future funding, primarily through loans from related parties in Goodman Group.
Interest rate risk
The Consolidated Entity’s interest rate risk arises from variable rate borrowings with related parties and CCIRS.
Sensitivity analysis
Based on the Consolidated Entity’s interest bearing borrowings at 30 June 2019, if interest rates on borrowings had been 100 basis points per annum (2018: 100 basis points per annum) higher/lower, with all other variables held constant, the Consolidated Entity’s profit attributable to Shareholders for the financial year would have been $6.9 million lower/ higher (2018: $5.4 million lower/higher).

- Gross settled includes CCIRS.
(c) Credit risk
Credit risk represents the loss that would be recognised if counterparties failed to perform as contracted.
The maximum exposure to credit risk on financial assets, excluding investments, of the Consolidated Entity which have been recognised in the consolidated statement of financial position, is the carrying amount (refer to notes 7 and 15(a)).
The Consolidated Entity has a policy of assessing the creditworthiness of all potential customers and is not materially exposed to any one customer. The Consolidated Entity evaluates all customers’ perceived credit risk.
In relation to material bank deposits, the Consolidated Entity minimises credit risk by dealing with major financial institutions. The counterparty must have a stable, long‑term credit rating that is a minimum of an “A” category (or equivalent) from a major rating agency. The amounts and other terms associated with bank deposits are formally reviewed monthly.
From time to time, the Consolidated Entity also makes loans to JVs, typically to fund development projects. In making its investment decisions, the Consolidated Entity will undertake a detailed assessment of the development feasibility and credit risks associated with the relevant counterparties.
During the current and prior year, credit risk arising from cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, amounts and loans due from related parties and other receivables were not determined to be significant and no impairment losses were recognised.
Annual Report 2019
219
The credit risks associated with derivative financial instruments are managed by:
-
- transacting with multiple derivatives counterparties that have a long‑term investment grade credit rating;
-
- utilising International Swaps and Derivatives Association (“ISDA”) agreements with derivative counterparties in order to limit exposure to credit risk through netting of amounts receivable and amounts payable to individual counterparties (refer below); and
-
- formal review of the mark to market position of derivative financial instruments by counterparty on a monthly basis.
Master netting or similar agreements
Goodman Group enters into derivative transactions under ISDA master netting off agreements. Under these agreements, where certain credit events occur (such as a default), all outstanding transactions under the agreement are terminated and a single net termination value is payable in full and final settlement.
(d) Fair values of financial instruments
Except for derivative financial instruments and investments in unlisted securities which are carried at fair value, the Consolidated Entity’s financial instruments are carried at cost or amortised cost. The carrying amounts of the Consolidated Entity’s financial instruments carried at cost or amortised cost were not materially different from their fair values as at 30 June 2019 and 2018.

(ii) Valuation techniques used to derive Level 2 and Level 3 fair values
The Level 2 derivative financial instruments held by the Consolidated Entity consist of CCIRS.
The fair value of derivative are determined using generally accepted pricing models which discount estimated future cash flows based on the terms and maturity of each contract and current market interest rates and/or foreign currency rates, adjusted for specific features of the instruments.
The fair value measurement for investment in unlisted securities has been categorised as a Level 3 fair value. The following table shows the valuation technique used in measuring fair value as well as the significant unobservable inputs used:

(b) Equity settled share based payment transactions
LTIP
Goodman Group’s share based payments primarily relate to performance rights awarded to employees under the LTIP. These performance rights entitle an employee to either acquire Goodman Group securities for $nil consideration (equity settled performance rights) or, in certain jurisdictions, to receive an amount in cash equal to the value of the securities (cash settled performance rights), subject to the vesting conditions having been satisfied.
During the year, the movement in the number of equity settled and cash settled performance rights under the LTIP was as follows:
LTIP was as follows: |
||
|---|---|---|
| Number of rights | ||
| 2019 | 2018 | |
| Outstanding at the beginning of the year | 20,633,959 | 18,967,105 |
| Issued | 6,628,500 | 6,848,150 |
| Vested | (3,674,423) | (3,418,555) |
| Forfeited | (2,287,820) | (1,762,741) |
| Outstanding at the end of the year | 21,300,216 | 20,633,959 |
| Exercisable at the end of the year | – | – |
Share based payments transactions
The fair value of equity settled performance rights at the grant date is expensed with a corresponding increase in the employee compensation reserve over the vesting period. The expense is adjusted to reflect the actual number of performance rights for which the related service and non‑market vesting conditions are expected to be met. The accumulated share based payments expense of performance rights which have vested or lapsed is transferred from the employee compensation reserve to retained earnings/(accumulated losses).
The fair value of cash settled performance rights is also recognised as an expense but with a corresponding increase in liabilities over the vesting period. The expense is adjusted to reflect the actual number of performance rights for which the related service and non‑market vesting conditions are expected to be met. The liability is remeasured at each reporting date and at the vesting date based on the fair value of the rights.
The fair value of services received in return for performance rights granted under the LTIP is measured by reference to the fair value of the performance rights granted. The fair value of the performance rights granted during the year was measured as follows:
-
- operating EPS tranche: these rights were valued as a granted call option, using the standard Black Scholes model with a continuous dividend/distribution yield; and
-
- Relative TSR tranche: these rights were valued using a Monte Carlo model which simulated total returns for each of the ASX 100 stocks and discounted the future value of any potential future vesting performance rights to arrive at a present value. The model uses statistical analysis to forecast total returns, based on expected parameters of variance and co‑variance.
