GOODMAN GROUP 2021 1 WIRED FOR CHANGE 2 We’re living in an era of rapid change. Digital technology is advancing at pace, our fastest growing consumer group has an ever-increasing expectation for immediacy and the global pandemic has caused us all to rethink what we do and how we do it. The world is changing, and Goodman is changing with it. We’ve developed new skills, new processes and new ways of working that will help make the world a better place for all of us. B R E A K I N G A W A Y FROM THE KNOWN
GOODMAN GROUP 2021 3 CHAIRMAN’S LETTER 4 Stephen Johns, Independent Chairman Goodman delivered another very strong result in 2021 during an extremely challenging period. The Group’s focus was on remaining agile, embracing opportunities and making positive changes to the business. We redesigned how our teams work to prioritise our people’s safety and wellbeing in the short term and enable greater diversity in the longer term. We accelerated our environmental, social and governance (ESG) targets, and we N met the demands of an escalating digital economy. E PATHWAYS

Success in such conditions was only possible due to the Group’s strategy, executed consistently by our strong local leadership teams in global markets, and galvanised with one culture. Goodman’s business strategy is fit for purpose and comprehensive. It is designed for the long term, with our property investment strategy, environmental and sustainability targets and remuneration aligned to provide profitable and sustainable outcomes well into the future.

Strong and sustainable
The right balance and focus
A strong balance sheet to secure financial sustainability remains central to the Group’s strategy. Low gearing levels and strong liquidity give Goodman the ability to seize quality opportunities as they arise, as well as providing a safeguard during turbulent periods. The Group’s strong relationship with our international Investment Partners, some of the world’s largest pension and sovereign funds that co-invest with Goodman globally, further strengthens our financial capability. Within these Partnerships, we currently have $18.1 billion of liquidity available for future investments in the form of equity commitments, cash and undrawn debt. The strategy has been critical, given the properties we seek to acquire are both scarce and highly valuable.
I believe one of Goodman’s greatest strengths lies in our ability to balance our entrepreneurial spirit, which remains undiminished, with the attention to detail required for compliance and risk management, which is fundamental to running a major ASX-listed company whose global operations span 14 countries. Aiding this balance is the Group’s remuneration strategy, which provides for all of our people globally to be owners in the business, fostering an innovative culture as well as creating a loyal and experienced team which remains engaged and committed.
While the approach of investing in high quality locations has been at the heart of Goodman’s strategy, it has been refined over time to adapt to a changing world. For example, in recent years our asset sale program has allowed us to focus on infill markets which can lead to higher intensification of use and a greater focus on sustainability. Customer demand outweighs supply for these properties, driven by consumers’ growing expectation to have goods delivered quickly. The pandemic saw significant growth in e-commerce penetration in all of our markets and further accelerated this demand.
Goodman’s long-term view impacts all areas of the business and is key to our success. Our focus on infill markets increases the scale and complexity of projects, which leads to significantly longer development timeframes, often exceeding five years. This is in addition to the time needed to achieve the best urban regeneration outcomes at infill sites. Similarly, our ever-increasing focus on environmental and sustainability goals, which we expect will take five to 10-years to implement and which will, in all likelihood, keep evolving over time, are aligned with long-term financial sustainability.

The Goodman Board
Our long serving Chairman, Mr Ian Ferrier, retired from the Board at last year’s AGM. On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank him for his outstanding service to Goodman over his 17-year tenure on the Board and, in particular, his leadership during his 12-years as Chairman of the Board.
At this year’s AGM, Independent Directors, Ms Rebecca McGrath and Mr David Collins, together with Executive Director, Mr Danny Peeters, will be standing for re-election. Ms Penny Winn has decided not to stand for re-election this year and will retire from the Board at the conclusion of this year’s AGM. On behalf of the Board, I would like to extend my gratitude to Penny for her valuable contribution.
Goodman seeks to maintain a diverse Board with the appropriate mix of skills, gender and geographic representation, which will continue to be supported through future appointments. Our focus specifically will be on meeting our target of 40% representation for female Board members and additionally, in view of the global nature of Goodman, we will be seeking to appoint an internationally based director with the appropriate skill set during the course of the current financial year.
Goodman’s straightforward and transparent culture invites the Board to have a constructive and open dialogue with management. This enables directors to add value in their deliberations with management, particularly in setting the Group’s long-term growth strategy.
Many thanks
Goodman’s strong performance in the challenging year that was 2021 was made possible by the strength of our global leadership and teams around the world. On behalf of the Board, I sincerely thank our people for their commitment and determination in achieving this result. I also extend my gratitude to all of our stakeholders for their ongoing support and the Board for their valuable contribution.
Sincerely,
Stephen Johns Independent Chairman
The 10-year plan
Given the long-term nature of Goodman’s approach to real estate investment, the Board has introduced a new Long Term Incentive Plan for the senior leadership team to provide even greater alignment with securityholders. The new 10-year plan will see the testing and vesting periods for the senior leadership team extended to four and 10 years, respectively, with the existing plan’s three and five year periods remaining in place for all other employees.
The new plan will position the Group with a market leading remuneration structure which will help to retain key people in a competitive labour market. It will support our objective to influence our people’s long-term decision making and will incorporate environmental and sustainability targets in assessing our operational performance.

We knew this year would bring changes, and we were well prepared for it. Our strong financial performance is the result of our long-term consumer-centric approach to growth. In the area of sustainability, we exceeded our own targets by reaching our 2025 goal of carbon neutrality four years ahead of schedule. We’ve been making progressive choices early on and executed
them well which is putting us in good stead for the future.

In 2021, as global uncertainty and market disruption continued, our agile culture helped us embrace the changes we were presented with. The determination and talent of our people shone through.
During the year, we have continued our concerted efforts to make ESG fundamental to our business. Goodman’s long-term approach continued to engender positive economic, environmental and social outcomes for our business, our stakeholders, and the world.
Our results demonstrate this, as well as the team’s alignment of consistently owning properties around the world, close to consumers. We delivered profitability, maintained a strong balance sheet, and stayed true to our purpose.

As providers of essential infrastructure, sustainability is crucial to Goodman, and we are proud that our global operations achieved carbon neutrality this year. Around the world, we made progressive choices and changes to our operations to achieve this carbon neutral result well ahead of our 2025 target.
Goodman’s financial highlights include an operating profit of $1.2 billion, statutory profit of $2.3 billion and assets under management that grew to $58 billion. Our balance sheet remains strong with gearing of 6.8% and available liquidity of $1.9 billion. Globally, our Group and Partnership properties achieved a revaluation uplift of $5.8 billion, reflecting the portfolio’s quality. Distribution per stapled security was 30.0 cents, and net tangible assets increased 14.4% to $6.68 per security.

Future ready
The breadth of Goodman’s portfolio gives us valuable insights across geographies. Globally, we saw evidence that our consumer-centric approach to growth in targeted locations was meeting our customers’ requirements for faster speed to market. Meanwhile, our properties continued to provide opportunities for automation and for higher utilisation of space to allow for greater supply chain efficiency.
We continued to deploy capital to support our organic growth strategy, which saw our development workbook increase to $10.6 billion. Our global work-in-progress is spread across 73 projects and 12 countries, and the depth of demand is leading to a high level of lease pre-commitment.
Goodman leads in the urban regeneration of logistics sites around the world. This expertise has grown more valuable, with the sustainable redevelopment of brownfield sites in high demand by our customers and these are supported by the public sector. Such developments are beneficial to the environment as they reduce the amount of greenfield land developed and re-use existing infrastructure. Infill locations, meanwhile, tend to be close to consumers, which provides our customers with faster speed to market and lower transportrelated emissions.
Global online sales increased 30% in 2020*, fuelled by e-commerce and the consumption of digital media and services. We saw a direct correlation between consumer habits, customer demand and our infill strategy.
Goodman has been positioning itself for this demand for several years. Our strategy is serving our customers well and during the year we leased 3.9 million sqm of space and our portfolio occupancy remains high at 98.1%. This supported the like for like growth in rental income of 3.2%.
Globally, Goodman continued to work with planning authorities and local municipalities on innovative land use developments – an endeavour of greater mutual benefit where planning authorities are conducive to the increased utilisation of space, including multi-storey buildings which comprise approximately 50% of what we are currently developing around the world.
Our Partnerships achieved average total returns of close to 18% while maintaining strong credit metrics. External assets under management reached $54.0 billion with $18.1 billion liquidity in the form of equity commitments, cash and undrawn debt. We also completed $3.1 billion of asset sales across our Partnerships – primarily in Europe where we have continued to refine our investment strategy. Strong demand for industrial assets globally resulted in demand from capital partners seeking to invest alongside us.
Our financial performance, high occupancy rates and rental growth are the result of our strategy to own assets in markets where barriers to entry are high, land is scarce, and demand is robust.

A sustainable impact
By accelerating the scale and timing of our sustainability goals, Goodman achieved carbon neutral global operations four years ahead of our 2025 target.
Collectively with our contractors and customers, we are working to decarbonise our development projects. We believe it is critical to examine the impact of steel, concrete and other materials and processes. As such, we have established a framework to measure the volume of embodied emissions in our development projects globally. This will enable Goodman to reduce or offset embodied carbon in the future.
Our sustainability goals are progressive, appropriate and aligned with our customers’ and investors’ aspirations. They reflect our obligation to act decisively on climate change, to reduce the risk of obsolescence and to ensure the future performance of our assets.
Throughout the year, the Goodman Foundation remained steadfast in its efforts to help its charitable partners not only survive but rise to the challenge of the pandemic. It was a time to back our many charity partners who knew what their communities needed most, and to be generous and flexible in how we supported them through one of the most challenging years imaginable.

Flexible and inclusive
Flexible working is the new normal at Goodman. We have created an agile, technology-enabled working environment, which prioritises health, safety and wellbeing for our people around the world. Flexible working suits our culture and global operations. It also protects our teams and increases our productivity and diversity. Furthermore, it opens up opportunities for our people – particularly caregivers and parents.
We view our people as owners in the business. All Goodman employees participate in our Long Term Incentive Plan (LTIP), which aligns their interests to those of our securityholders and helps us to retain key talent and maintain low turnover. The financial framework around our LTIP encourages long-term decision making and underpins personal responsibility.
We are committed to inclusion and diversity. Our target is to increase women in senior roles to 40% by 2030 so that our capable female leaders, mentors and managers can continue to have a widespread and meaningful impact on our culture.
Forward thinking
We have witnessed the digitalisation of the world. And there’s more to come.
Changing consumption habits have fundamentally changed the volume and nature of demand from our customers – which Goodman was, and still is, ready for. As a business that is always looking to the future, we have been strengthening our expertise and operational platform, while maintaining our strong balance sheet over several years to facilitate this transition.
I couldn’t be prouder of the Goodman team’s commitment to deliver high-quality, sustainable assets with integrity, determination and innovation. We’re well prepared for the future.
Sincerely,
Greg Goodman Group Chief Executive Officer

GOODMAN GROUP 2021 17 OPERATIONAL OVERVIEW 18 Since the beginning of the global pandemic, the digital economy has experienced rapid, unrelenting growth. Goodman’s long term strategy of owning, developing and managing high quality, sustainable properties that are close to consumers, has positioned our customers, and our own business, well to meet demand. E-commerce is a large part of our customers’ businesses and our early investment in infill locations has enabled them to have a greater speed to market, and an edge on their competitors.

Online shift
In FY21, Goodman has remained flexible and adapted to the changing conditions. Customer demand for space continued to increase across a range of industry segments and the prolonged impacts of the global pandemic accelerated our consumers’ propensity to shift to online shopping. Logistics and warehousing have provided critical infrastructure to enable distribution of essential goods to time-sensitive consumers through this period.
Top 20 global customers
We have a diverse range of 1,600 customers across e-commerce, logistics, retail, consumer goods, automotive, pharmaceutical and technology industries.
Our development workbook remains robust as we continue to focus on infill markets, resulting in high levels of pre-commitment. Our projects have been increasing in scale and value with the average development period for projects now 19 months. Repositioning and redevelopment of existing assets is increasingly contributing to the future activity, with 50% of our development sites now brownfields. We have progressed projects through planning and undertaken infrastructure work over a number of years to make sites available for expected customer demand.
Work in progress
Our assets under management grew solidly and our Partnerships delivered average returns of approximately 18% with strong income and capital growth. We’re also well capitalised with gearing low and liquidity high, including $18.1 billion available in the form of equity commitments, cash and undrawn debt through our Partnerships.
Market conditions are strong in our sector. Continued growth in the digital economy is giving our customers confidence to grow too. Our global portfolio is well positioned to facilitate their needs.

Accelerated targets
Goodman achieved carbon neutral global operations ahead of our 2025 target. Certified by the Australian government’s Climate Active program, the result comes from reducing our own operational emissions, increasing our use of renewable energy, supporting our customers and investors to reduce their emissions, and investing in 100% Australian carbon credit units.
Reducing emissions
All regions contributed to our reduced carbon footprint, with Europe and New Zealand having already achieved carbon neutral status. During the year, our Australian operations transitioned to 100% green power, which will dramatically reduce the Company’s total future emissions.
We continued to support and influence long-term sustainable solutions for our customers and investors. We believe the property sector has a vital sustainability role – from the estates we develop, through to how we can work with our customers to achieve greener outcomes in their businesses too.
Goodman is reducing carbon in the development process as well. We are calculating the volume of – and placing a value on – embodied emissions in our projects globally, which means we can offset the carbon.

Investing in carbon credits
To offset the carbon emitted in areas outside Goodman’s control, as well as to support an Aboriginal-owned and operated carbon farming business, we invested in the Arnhem Land Fire Abatement (ALFA) projects in Australia’s Northern Territory.
Arnhem Land is prone to extreme wildfires that affect people, plants and animals. The ALFA projects employ Traditional Owners and Aboriginal rangers to undertake traditional fire management across more than 80,000 square kilometres. This work drastically reduces emissions while protecting culturally significant sites from destructive wildfires.
Funding from carbon offsets also enables the projects to invest in other community identified priorities and projects that support Traditional Owners to manage the land and sea country of Arnhem Land.

Our ESG strategy
Our 2030 Sustainability strategy
Goodman is a leader in environmental social governance (ESG). We have a long-term peoplefocused approach that looks to achieve positive outcomes for our business, our stakeholders and the world.
Goodman’s 2030 Sustainability strategy is about transitioning our business into a truly resilient and low-carbon company. The strategy is based on our people and culture, our engagement with stakeholders and our status as a trusted investment manager and partner in the community. It shapes all aspects of Goodman’s business and is one important way we measure our success.
Building a platform for authentic and positive change over the next decade is important to Goodman. We will continue to work closely with our customers, our investors and our people to decarbonise, to mitigate climate risk and to boost biodiversity.
UN Sustainable Development Goals
Our sustainability strategy is based around three pillars:

PEOPLE AND CULTURE
At Goodman, we value diversity, health, safety, high standards of behaviour and wellbeing – knowing that our people are our greatest asset. We provide them with contemporary technology to allow for efficiency, productivity and flexible working, which suits our culture and keeps our people safe.
Retention of our people remains high due to an effective employee equity plan, internal development programs that reward and advance high potential employees and challenging, yet exciting, work opportunities. Our target is to have 40% female senior management representation by 2030, achieved through succession planning, employee development and talent management strategies that focus on senior women with expanded roles and exposure to large customers or investors.
Globally, our developments are increasingly featuring design aspects that support our customers’ health and wellbeing. To further their comfort and convenience at work, Goodman’s properties have health and recreation facilities, breakout spaces, green areas and onsite dining options.
Meanwhile, our work culture promotes a safe and inclusive working environment. We focus on the safety of our people and contractors and prioritise business ethics and human rights in our global supply chain.
Target Progress
Safe working environment Put a global safety framework in place that prioritises safety standards and the management of critical risk controls.
Rolled out safety training and contractor management procedures.
Unfortunately in FY21, four fatalities occurred on development projects under the control of our Principal Contractors. While Goodman is not responsible for the day-to-day management of works on these projects, we actively monitor them and will be working to introduce improved safety standards in all our regions.
Global supply chain ethics policy
Expanded our view of business ethics in our supply chain and we are developing an enforceable Code of Conduct including our commitments to human rights and to preventing modern slavery.
Further reviewed our supply chain in Australia to focus on high-risk sectors.
Gender ratio of 50/50, with 40% female senior executives by 2030
Reached a gender ratio of 44% female and 56% male, with 30% female senior executives.
Concluded that 100% of employees are demonstrating or exceeding Goodman’s values.
100% of employees assessed as demonstrating Goodman’s values
WE ARE WHAT WE VALUE
During the year we took time to refresh our values to further align them with our strategy. Some of the words might have changed but the spirit remains the same: Innovation, Determination, Integrity and Sustainability. These four values reflect not only who we are today, but who we want to be, long into the future.
INNOVATION
New ideas push our business forward. We focus on the future, proactively looking for new opportunities and improved solutions for our stakeholders that will make the world a better place for all of us.
DETERMINATION
Determination gets things done. We are motivated by excellence and work hard to achieve it, actively pursuing the very best outcomes for all our stakeholders.
INTEGRITY
We have integrity, always. We work inclusively and transparently, balancing the needs of our business and our people, with the needs of the community and those we do business with.
SUSTAINABILITY
We’re building our business for the long term. That’s why we consider the planet, and all the people on it, in everything we do. Our ESG initiatives demonstrate our ongoing commitment to having a positive economic, environmental and social impact on the world.

Sustainability in the heart of Madrid
Sustainability was considered at every stage, starting with demolition. Close to 85% of the total nonhazardous material – around 60,000 cubic metres – was recycled into the new centre’s base.
Just 20 minutes from Madrid’s centre, Goodman is working with the Getafe municipality to regenerate the Getafe Terminal Logistics Centre area – a former industrial warehouse, unused for a decade.
The building’s water-saving drainage and preparation for future solar panels will see it achieve a BREEAM Excellent ranking. Meanwhile, it is Spain’s first industrial project to achieve BREEAM Green Urbanisation certification for its surrounding infrastructure and zoning works.
The centre will depart from the traditional idea of how an industrial business park should look, feel and operate. Featuring 24,000 sqm of green space, its innovative split design means that despite heavy truck transit, employees who do not deal with trucks as part of their job will never cross paths with one.
The extra mile was travelled aesthetically too. While Getafe Terminal Logistics Centre is firmly focused on the future, its design pays homage to the area’s proud
Getafe’s warehouse spaces are cleverly designed to incentivise smaller retailers and enterprises, while the project’s revitalisation of this once-abandoned area will tempt aviation heritage. back businesses and residents alike.
- SUSTAINABLE SOLUTIONS FOR A BETTER WORLD Brownfield developments
Brownfield sites are those that have previously been developed yet offer an opportunity to be re-developed into modern, efficient, sustainable properties. These older style developments are typically located in established industrial locations that are closer to urban centres.
Our global portfolio is concentrated in urban locations that are close to the majority of consumers. This brings our customers the benefit of faster speed to market and reduces their transport-related emissions.
It’s part of Goodman’s strategy to continue to acquire and redevelop existing brownfield sites. Goodman has extensive development experience in this area and, currently, more than half our global developments are on brownfield sites.
Brownfield redevelopments offer significant benefits to our customers, including being close to the consumer and providing employment to local communities, reducing the demand on rezoning and developing greenfield land, utilising existing infrastructure, and providing the opportunity to recycle materials from the current facility into new construction – thereby reducing waste being sent to landfill.

Goodman people go $10 million greener
Our holistic approach to ESG not only reduces our properties’ carbon impact but looks to embed sustainability broadly in our culture.
To help unlock more sustainable transport for our people we offered $10 million worth of electric vehicle (EV) incentives over the next five years. Those who accept will be immediately making a difference. The initiative showcases how our people are encouraged to help Goodman broaden the radius of its impact in the carbon economy.
In addition, we are transitioning our global vehicle fleet to EV with the current Australian fleet of 55 hybrid vehicles due to be 100% EV by 2025. Furthermore, all new Goodman developments globally will feature EV bays with battery charging stations.

Managing climate risk
Goodman supports the Paris Agreement goal to limit global warming to well below two degrees Celsius compared to pre-industrial levels.
As part of this, we assess our climate risks and have set several targets as part of our 2030 Sustainability Strategy. The strategy responds to the current and projected impacts of climate change on our business while disclosing our approach to investors and capital partners.
Goodman’s approach to managing climate risks is incorporated in our risk management framework. The framework looks at our property development, property management and fund management activities.
Goodman completed a scenario-based climate risk assessment aligned with TCFD guidelines in 2020. Key physical and transitional climate risks were examined in the major regions where we operate. The five most material risks were identified as:
-
Increasing temperatures and heatwaves
-
Extreme precipitation events
-
Windstorms (tropical and extra tropical)
-
Severity of hailstorms
-
Sea level rise

■ Lawrence Goldstone, PwC’s Partner – Future of Work, talks to us about the new office, hybrid working and the impacts of pandemicstyle acceleration.
“I don’t believe the office is dead,” says Lawrence Goldstone, PwC Partner - Future of Work, “I believe the office is as important as it ever was. But it needs a new definition.”
The Future of Work, according to Goldstone, can be divided into four sectors: work type, workforce, workplaces and work experience, and it’s the last two that are undergoing dramatic transformation.
So, what’s the new role of the office? Goldstone believes it should be a physical representation of an organisation’s culture. A space that brings a company’s purpose to life. A space for employees to collaborate, ideate and brainstorm. Where they can come together to inspire and learn from each other.

I DON’T BELIEVE THE OFFICE IS DEAD... BUT IT NEEDS A NEW DEFINITION.”
Lawrence Goldstone, PwC Partner – Future of Work
Since the pandemic, however, a lot of big organisations have been reconsidering the size of their office footprint over their workplace strategy. Goldstone challenges this kind of shortterm thinking. He believes companies first need to rethink the role of their office and the potential for how it can be used. “If you need more collaboration space,” he says, “you’re actually going to need the same footprint, but thought differently.” Although, he adds “space, alone, does not equip people for change.”
Emerging trends in office design include the introduction of Zoom rooms, collaboration spaces, and Grandstand or Town Hall areas that allow companies to bring their entire organisation together safely. But even with newly designed workspaces, the idea of everyone returning to the office five days a week is an old one. But it doesn’t have to be all or nothing.
Hybrid working, which is a combination of working some days in the office and some days remotely, is the new way forward. It allows employees the flexibility to work in and outside of the physical office, as well as in and outside of standard office hours. And while flexibility is not new, it hasn’t always been so well accommodated. “Things have definitely shifted to be all about the employee,” says Goldstone. “And I love that.”

“TAKING A LONG-TERM APPROACH HAS NEVER BEEN MORE VITAL.”
In the last year, the option to work within a 24/7 work environment has allowed more people to find a way to make work, truly work for them. And from an employer standpoint, it opens the way for a more inclusive, diverse workforce. “There’s certainly a ‘haves’ and ‘have-nots’ element within that,” admits Goldstone, “but if we can blend choice through all areas of the workforce, I think we’re in really exciting and interesting times.”
Flexible working still comes with its own challenges. Proximity bias – favouring those that come into the office more often – and remotely managing employee health and wellbeing are two complications leaders are now working to solve. They’re learning it’s not enough to respond to these issues as they arise, companies need to proactively embed inclusion and wellbeing practices into their operations.
Nonetheless, people want more choice in how they work, where they work and when they work. Which might make some leadership teams feel uncomfortable.
“This is a pivotal moment, where we can break some of those old-fashioned paradigms – the nine to five, Monday to Friday, productivity-based measures,” Goldstone says of the opportunities reimagining the future of work can bring.
Taking a long-term approach has never been more vital, especially when it comes to attracting future talent. By the year 2030, over 50% of the workforce will be made up of Millennials and Gen Z. And if you ask someone in that age bracket how and where they want to work, the last thing they’ll say is full-time in an office.
Goldstone believes the worst thing we could do is waste this crisis by just returning to the way things used to be, and it’s hard to disagree. He wants to see more ‘pandemic-style acceleration’. It’s a phrase he coined to describe applying this type of COVID-led acceleration of trends, only without the crisis. “What would happen if we had such an accelerated change of conditions that we radically shifted boards in this country?” he says, using gender imbalance as an example.
On its current trajectory, it is about 100 years until we will achieve gender parity. According to Goldstone, there’s no reason we can’t make it happen in ten. “It takes some bold thinking to go and reimagine how work gets done,” he says. “You have to be prepared to break some old patterns.”

THIS IS THE ■ The Hayesbery is Goodman’s new flagship workspace. Located in Rosebery, on Sydney’s city fringe, the recent move takes Goodman back to its industrial heartland, while the redeveloped heritage site has helped redefine its operations for the future. Goodman’s Ben McGilp and Kori Todd take us through The Hayesbery’s design and development and the positive effect it’s having on their people. Set over four buildings, The Hayesbery campus is connected by a shared external laneway, converting what was once a hat factory into a contemporary workspace that flows easily between indoor and outdoor spaces. From its discreet entry to its lobby-style foyer, The Hayesbery has everything a boutique hotel might offer, except a place to sleep. With technology thoughtfully integrated into every aspect of the design, it creates a very human-centric environment while still enabling people to work efficiently. Post-COVID, there’s touchless entry, as well as health and wellbeing features that include a yoga room, gymnasium, wellness and multi-faith rooms, and end of trip facilities that are worth getting on a bike for. The Hayesbery even has a fragrance – musky and herbal – and a coffee cart that HAYESBERY donates all proceeds to charity.

“We’re in an experience era,” explains Senior Designer, Kori Todd. “Hotels nail experience, from the time you book to the minute you walk in the door. And wellness and sustainability were big drivers in creating Goodman’s workspace. We looked at the sorts of things that would drive those types of experiences, both from our people’s point of view on a day-to-day level and from a customer’s as well.”
The Hayesbery is the result of a small working group of diverse Goodman team members, led by Ben McGilp, General Manager, Developments. The group, which included people from different units across the business as well as different levels of seniority, left no stone unturned. They discussed everything from the size of the meeting rooms, to how people would drive into the car park. “We found ourselves asking ‘why not?’ rather than ‘why’?” McGilp says of the process, “Why wouldn’t you put music into the building, why wouldn’t you develop a booking app?” Although all of these micro-decisions are now deemed invisible by McGilp who noticed, “People don’t even see them anymore, because it all just works and flows seamlessly.”
“WE FOUND OURSELVES ASKING ‘WHY NOT’ RATHER THAN ‘WHY’?”

The Hayesbery design took a light touch approach when it came to both maintaining the authenticity and the heritage of the original warehouse, as well taking a long-term approach to sustainability. “There is so much natural light,” says Todd of the workspace. “We don’t need to have the lights on in the day.”
As design development took place in the 2020 lockdown, the team were adapting and making updates to the plans to correspond with what they thought they’d need for the changing environment. And they really got the balance right.
”THERE IS SO MUCH NATURAL LIGHT WE DON’T NEED TO HAVE THE LIGHTS ON IN THE DAY.”
“I had no intention when we began this project, that I was going to be working for Goodman at the end of it,” says Todd who started the project as Lead Designer at Woods Bagot. “So, it’s been an amazing experience to watch how people actually use the space as you intended it.”
Bringing a human scale to soaring 5.5 metre ceilings in certain areas was part of Todd’s vision, while still acknowledging the industrial nature of the structure and the business itself. “I think we were really successful in achieving this because the spaces have an intimate quality to them,” explains Todd. “We made this big gesture by bringing in trees to celebrate the volume,” she says, “But it also created an intimate scale that you’re sitting under a tree canopy, so that was a good example of functionality that held the design aesthetic.”

One of the things Todd hadn’t anticipated was how much time people would spend working outside. “It’s incredible,” she says, “to be in a workplace where you spend a good deal of your day outdoors. You can schedule meetings outdoors or have impromptu meetings. It’s been really successful and a wonderful thing to see.”
While some companies still struggle to motivate staff to come back to the office, Goodman has had the opposite experience. “We thought if people came into the office two to three days a week, that would be great,” says Todd.
The reality is people are choosing to work in the office more often and it’s this enthusiasm to come in that McGilp is most proud of. “In truth, we’re oversubscribed” he says. “But our aim was always to give our people the flexibility – the choice – to work their day in the way that suits them. People want to come in because it’s a great space to work in.”
It’s not only Goodman people who want to come into The Hayesbery. The team are also bringing in their customers, their suppliers, families and friends. “It’s completely different than anything else on the market at the moment,” says Todd enthusiastically, “It’s fit for purpose, and it’s not like anything anyone’s really seen before.”
Some customers have asked whether Goodman could create another Hayesbery for their business, and while McGilp says of course that’s possible, it’s not about just duplicating the design, it’s a process. “I think you’ve got to really know your people,” he says. “I think the thing we did best here was solve for our own culture, first and foremost.”
But that doesn’t mean his team can’t take learnings from The Hayesbery and apply them to other commercial projects. According to McGilp, Goodman has plans to speculatively develop some fully formed fitouts in the near future. “This is an opportunity for us to take it up a level,” he says.
“One of the best things we’ve done since completing The Hayesbery was to engage Kori Todd,” he explains. “The purpose of that was to do two things: one was to solve planning challenges with improved design, and the other was to think about our buildings from a human experience perspective – so we can walk the journey of the truck driver, the supplier, the office manager, CEO. We’ve not really done that before, so I think that’s really stepping into the customer’s shoes a little further.”
Todd, too, is excited about where the industrial sector can go. “Some of what we’ve done at The Hayesbery absolutely has the ability to translate into some of those projects,” she says. “I think when we talk about what that means for industrial projects, the opportunities are tremendous.”
“I THINK THE THING WE DID BEST HERE WAS SOLVE FOR OUR OWN CULTURE, FIRST AND FOREMOST.”

Market update
Mainland China and Hong Kong SAR
Ongoing urbanisation in mainland China is driving a shift to the five ‘megacity’ clusters of Greater Beijing, Greater Shanghai, Central China, Western China and Greater Bay Area.
Greenfield land is increasingly scarce with multi-storey warehousing becoming the norm. In urban locations, demand is being driven by e-commerce, fresh food and technology.
Hong Kong SAR remains a major gateway to mainland China. There, industrial property is tightly held and stock levels are decreasing.
Japan
Logistics is the most-favoured real estate asset for Japanese institutional investors (CBRE).
Demand remains strong with a vacancy rate of 0.5% in Greater Tokyo and 3.7% in Greater Osaka due to accelerating e-commerce demand.

In Continental Europe, urbanisation is expected to exceed 80% by 2050*. It is a fiercely competitive property market with strong demand for industrial space, solid rental growth and few vacancies in certain land-constrained cities. The COVID-19 pandemic fuelled e-commerce growth.
In the United Kingdom, land supply in urban areas such as London is scarce and expensive. There is strong rental growth, particularly in London and the South East, with a national vacancy rate of less than 6% and below 3% in London. The pandemic saw online UK food sales increase by 70% on the previous year.

In North America, personal consumption makes up approximately 70% of GDP. As the rapid growth in e-commerce continues to redefine last-mile delivery, new building uses and logistics technologies are emerging. More e-commerce consumers are driving demand for distribution centres and the need to store additional stock.
In Brazil, Goodman’s logistics properties are mainly in São Paulo where the limited land is expensive. E-commerce grew significantly during the pandemic yet the penetration of e-commerce in Brazil is still relatively low, representing a substantial growth opportunity in coming years.

A challenging year
For our global charity partners, it has been a full year of dealing with the fallout from the COVID pandemic. We’ve remained steadfast throughout this period in an effort to not only help our partners survive, but to rise to the challenge.
Those already most vulnerable in the community were heavily impacted by lockdowns, financial hardship and isolation. Simultaneously, the ability of charities to meet the soaring demand was compromised by a diminishing number of workers, volunteers, regular donors and crucial fundraising opportunities.
For the Goodman Foundation, it was a time to stay the course and hold strong in our support, even if charities decided to re-focus their efforts in new and unanticipated ways.
It was a time to trust that the organisations we’ve partnered with over the years know what their communities need. And to be generous and flexible in how we support them through one of the most challenging years imaginable.
How we help
The Goodman Foundation supports charities in three key areas: children and youth, community and community health, and food rescue and the environment.
Our support is offered as:
Cash grants
Funding for projects with defined outcomes over one to three years.
Do good
Goodman people volunteering or fundraising for charities.
Give back
Workplace giving schemes that equally match contributions from Goodman people.
In-kind
Donations of our expertise, space, office furniture, computers and other critical items.

Children and youth
==> picture [364 x 398] intentionally omitted <==
ClassContact, Belgium
Children with long-term illnesses in hospital, or at home, do better if they stay in close contact with school. On top of their physical burdens, long or repeated absences from school can cause children’s motivation to plummet and their mental health to suffer.
Children from disadvantaged backgrounds are more vulnerable to isolation as they have less access to technology. Since 2006, ClassContact has helped around 1,000 children from 415 schools and 14 hospitals in the Brussels region.
In Belgium, the Goodman Foundation is supporting ClassContact’s provision of free computers, internet connections and cameras to long-term ill children. Connecting live means they can participate in team projects and ask questions of teachers in a classroom setting.
Almost 90% of children who continue their education in this way pass their exams and progress to the next grade.
Demand exploded in 2020 because severely ill children are often at higher risk of contracting COVID, so they needed to even further self-isolate.
While ClassContact was able to support 130 children in the Brussels region during the year – with Goodman funding access for seven children – it identified another 200 children at risk of losing touch with school. To increase the charity’s reach, Goodman helped to fund a marketing outreach to connect disadvantaged schools and social workers directly.

Bestest Foundation, Australia
For nine years, Goodman has supported Bestest Foundation’s work addressing the neglected needs of severely ill or disabled children, and their families, in regional Australia. This support ensures such families do not fall through the cracks.
The organisation is highly targeted. Every dollar goes directly to a specific need such as a modified van with a patient lift hoist, a new refrigerator, a braille computer, an insulin pump, food vouchers or mental health support.
Goodman’s long-term support of Bestest Foundation shows its commitment to small organisations doing big things for families that desperately need a helping hand.

Recently, Inba Gakusha moved into a 131 square metre space in Goodman Business Park in Inzai City that is part art studio and part fresh produce store.
Goodman has been investing in Inba Gakusha for some years at the Business Park. Employees are paid a fair wage to maintain grass areas, provide catering and charge e-bike batteries. Meanwhile, Inba Gakusha’s handcrafted furniture and art is featured in lobbies and resting areas.
The Goodman Foundation is funding the space for three years to allow Inba Gakusha to continue to find independent income sources for people who may otherwise struggle to secure them.

Thread Together, Australia
Wearing new, high-quality clothes never fails to bring dignity and confidence. That’s the truth at the heart of clothes redistribution charity, Thread Together.
Last year, to further the charity’s tangible community work, Goodman provided Thread Together with a 1,600 square metre warehouse, custom-fitted for clothes. The new warehouse will allow the charity to save more brand-new clothing from landfill and provide more vulnerable people in Australia with the basic human right of essential clothing.
Since 2012, Thread Together has been giving those in need the chance to hand-select a wardrobe of brand-name clothes and accessories from excess stock donated by Australian fashion retailers.
From the new warehouse, Thread Together is supplying clothes to around 2,000 people a week through a network of 500 charities, partners and social service agencies, including the Department of Justice and Corrective Services.
Rather than going to landfill, clothes are given to people who are experiencing homelessness, youth at risk, Indigenous communities, survivors of domestic violence, refugees and the long-term unemployed.
As an early supporter, Goodman provided shared warehouse space and a van to help Thread Together deliver essential clothing to people in need including vulnerable women escaping coercive and abusive relationships as well as new arrivals to our country who are seeking refuge.
It is also a beautifully branded space where Thread Together can hold corporate fundraising events, employ long-term unemployed people and host volunteering drives.
Goodman showcases Thread Together’s work internally, to encourage and match employee donations and, when it is again possible, to engage its people in volunteer days.
Thread Together responds in times of crisis too. When fires and floods wrecked homes and livelihoods in 2020, the charity drove clothes to those in need. Their roving vans and flagship locations are set up like stores so people can browse and try clothes on offering choice to empower and restore dignity.

Delivery of the NSW RFS helicopter, Australia
In response to the devastating 2019-2020 bush fires, Goodman made the largest corporate donation ever to the NSW Rural Fire Service (NSW RFS) by pledging a state-of-the-art firefighting helicopter. NSW RFS recently took delivery of the helicopter which is being fitted out with a winch, a belly tank for water bombing and a surveillance camera for use in firefighting and search and rescue operations. It is being prepared to be used for the 2021-22 fire season.

Paralympics Australia
For two years, the Goodman Foundation has supported Paralympics Australia in its quest to achieve its goals in Tokyo by funding vital warehouse space to allow the team’s athletes and support staff to focus on event preparation. When the Tokyo Paralympic Games were postponed in 2020, we provided additional funding to cover the warehouse space for a second consecutive year.
Goodman is proud to support Paralympics Australia and the role of the Paralympic Games in showcasing disability, challenging stigma and creating a more inclusive society.

Our Watch, Australia
Violence against women is a serious problem globally. One of the most worrying social impacts of the COVID lockdowns is women’s increased exposure to violent partners at a time of decreased access to services, data from the World Health Organisation states.
In Australia, almost 10 women each day are hospitalised for assault injuries perpetrated by a spouse or domestic partner. To help to address this urgent need, the Goodman Foundation engaged with Our Watch, a registered charity established in 2013. Our Watch is a national leader in the primary prevention of violence against women and their children in Australia. It works to embed gender equality and prevent violence where Australians live, learn, work and socialise.
With seed funding from the Goodman Foundation, Our Watch plans to create an institute to empower Australians to stop violence before it starts through training and practical tools that will equip individuals and organisations to lead prevention work in their communities.

Food rescue and environment

UKHarvest
Demand for meals from UKHarvest soared during the pandemic. Yet without a central warehouse, the food rescue not-for-profit was grappling with the distances between its locations.
Not only that. UKHarvest had lost most of its workforce, volunteers and fundraising opportunities due to social distancing, making its mission to nurture those most food insecure a lot harder.
Last year, Goodman, as founding partners, stepped up again to fund a warehouse in Chichester, enabling UKHarvest to efficiently rescue and redistribute around 75,000 meals a week, contributing to the 7,900 tonnes of greenhouse gases it has saved to date.
The warehouse has cooking stations, fridges, a commercial dishwasher, a blast chiller, an area to repackage meals into smaller packages for partner charities and a spot to make pickles and jams.
There is also space to host cooking classes to boost community knowledge around healthy eating and how to make delicious inexpensive meals, while also reducing food waste.

New Zealand Food Network
When the COVID pandemic hit, New Zealand food rescue organisation, KiwiHarvest, anticipated an urgent need for a national food distribution service.
After the New Zealand government agreed to fund the New Zealand Food Network (NZFN), KiwiHarvest approached Goodman, its founding partner since 2012, to support the rapid set-up of a warehouse to help with the new organisation’s crucial work.
As soon as the 830 square metre warehouse was fitted out with racking, sorting and vehicle access zones, NZFN began taking receipt of large volumes of food and co-ordinating its delivery.
In its first nine months, NZFN onboarded 39 food hubs and distributed more than two million kilos of donated and surplus food – the equivalent of 5.8 million meals.

Goodman Group
Chairman's letter
Strong and sustainable
Goodman delivered another very strong result in 2021 during an extremely challenging period. The Group’s focus was on remaining agile, embracing opportunities and making positive changes to the business. We redesigned how our teams work to prioritise our people’s safety and wellbeing in the short term and enable greater diversity in the longer term. We accelerated our environmental, social and governance (ESG) targets, and we met the demands of an escalating digital economy.
Success in such conditions was only possible due to the Group’s strategy, executed consistently by our strong local leadership teams in global markets, and galvanised with one culture. Goodman’s business strategy is fit for purpose and comprehensive. It is designed for the long term, with our property investment strategy, environmental and sustainability targets and remuneration aligned to provide profitable and sustainable outcomes well into the future.
The right balance and focus
I believe one of Goodman’s greatest strengths lies in our ability to balance our entrepreneurial spirit, which remains undiminished, with the attention to detail required for compliance and risk management, which is fundamental to running a major ASX-listed company whose global operations span 14 countries. Aiding this balance is the Group’s remuneration strategy, which provides for all of our people globally to be owners in the business, fostering an innovative culture as well as creating a loyal and experienced team which remains engaged and committed.
While the approach of investing in high quality locations has been at the heart of Goodman’s strategy, it has been refined over time to adapt to a changing world. For example, in recent years, our asset sale program has allowed us to focus on infill markets which can lead to higher intensification of use and a greater focus on sustainability. Customer demand outweighs supply for these properties, driven by consumers’ growing expectation to have goods delivered quickly. The pandemic saw significant growth in e-commerce penetration in all of our markets and further accelerated this demand.
A strong balance sheet to secure financial sustainability remains central to the Group’s strategy. Low gearing levels and strong liquidity give Goodman the ability to seize quality opportunities as they arise, as well as providing a safeguard during turbulent periods. The Group’s strong relationship with our international Investment Partners, some of the world’s largest pension and sovereign funds that co-invest with Goodman globally, further strengthens our financial capability. Within these Partnerships, we currently have $18.1 billion of liquidity available for future investments in the form of equity commitments, cash and undrawn debt. The strategy has been critical, given the properties we seek to acquire are both scarce and highly valuable.
Goodman’s long-term view impacts all areas of the business and is key to our success. Our focus on infill markets increases the scale and complexity of projects, which leads to significantly longer development timeframes, often exceeding five years. This is in addition to the time needed to achieve the best urban regeneration outcomes at infill sites. Similarly, our ever-increasing focus on environmental and sustainability goals, which we expect will take five to 10 years to implement and which will, in all likelihood, keep evolving over time, is aligned with long-term financial sustainability.
The 10-year plan
Given the long-term nature of Goodman’s approach to real estate investment, the Board has introduced a new Long Term Incentive Plan for the senior leadership team to provide even greater alignment with securityholders. The new 10-year plan will see the testing and vesting periods for the senior leadership team extended to four and 10 years, respectively, with the existing plan’s three and five year periods remaining in place for all other employees.
The new plan will position the Group with a market leading remuneration structure which will help to retain key people in a competitive labour market. It will support our objective to influence our people’s long-term decision making and will incorporate environmental and sustainability targets in assessing our operational performance.

The Goodman Board
Our long serving Chairman, Mr Ian Ferrier, retired from the Board at last year’s AGM. On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank him for his outstanding service to Goodman over his 17-year tenure on the Board and, in particular, his leadership during his 12 years as Chairman of the Board.
At this year’s AGM, Independent Directors, Ms Rebecca McGrath and Mr David Collins, together with Executive Director, Mr Danny Peeters, will be standing for re-election. Ms Penny Winn has decided not to stand for re-election this year and will retire from the Board at the conclusion of this year’s AGM. On behalf of the Board, I would like to extend my gratitude to Penny for her valuable contribution.
Goodman seeks to maintain a diverse Board with the appropriate mix of skills, gender and geographic representation, which will continue to be supported through future appointments. Our focus specifically will be on meeting our target of 40% representation for female Board members and additionally, in view of the global nature of Goodman, we will be seeking to appoint an internationally based director with the appropriate skill base during the course of the current financial year.
Goodman’s straightforward and transparent culture invites the Board to have a constructive and open dialogue with management. This enables directors to add value in their deliberations with management, particularly in setting the Group’s long-term growth strategy.
Many thanks
Goodman’s strong performance in 2021 was made possible by the strength of our global leadership and teams around the world. On behalf of the Board, I sincerely thank our people for their commitment and determination in achieving this result. I also extend my gratitude to all of our stakeholders for their ongoing support and the Board for their valuable contribution. Sincerely

Goodman Group
Group CEO's letter
Future ready
We knew this year would bring changes, and we were wellprepared for it. Our strong financial performance is the result of our long-term consumer-centric approach to growth. In the area of sustainability, we exceeded our own targets by reaching our 2025 goal of carbon neutrality four years ahead of schedule. We’ve been making progressive choices early on and executed them well which is putting us in good stead for the future. In 2021, as global uncertainty and market disruption continued, our agile culture helped us embrace the changes we were presented with. The determination and talent of our people shone through.
Our results demonstrate this, as well as the team's alignment of consistently owning properties around the world, close to consumers. We delivered profitability, maintained a strong balance sheet, and stayed true to our purpose.
Goodman’s financial highlights include an operating profit of $1.2 billion, statutory profit of $2.3 billion and assets under management that grew to $58 billion. Our balance sheet remains strong with gearing of 6.8% and available liquidity of $1.9 billion. Globally, our Group and Partnership properties achieved a revaluation uplift of $5.8 billion, reflecting the portfolio’s quality. Distribution per stapled security was 30.0 cents, and net tangible assets increased 14.4% to $6.68 per security.
During the year, we have continued our concerted efforts to make ESG fundamental to our business. Goodman’s longterm approach continued to engender positive economic, environmental and social outcomes for our business, our stakeholders, and the world.
As providers of essential infrastructure, sustainability is crucial to Goodman, and we are proud that our global operations achieved carbon neutrality this year. Around the world, we made progressive choices and changes to our operations to achieve this carbon neutral result well ahead of our 2025 target.
The breadth of Goodman’s portfolio gives us valuable insights across geographies. Globally, we saw evidence that our consumer-centric approach to growth in targeted locations was meeting our customers’ requirements for faster speed to market. Meanwhile, our properties continued to provide opportunities for automation and for higher utilisation of space to allow for greater supply chain efficiency.
Global online sales increased 30% in 2020*, fuelled by e-commerce and the consumption of digital media and services. We saw a direct correlation between consumer habits, customer demand and our infill strategy.
Goodman has been positioning itself for this demand for several years. Our strategy is serving our customers well and during the year we leased 3.9 million sqm of space and our portfolio occupancy remains high at 98.1%. This supported the like for like growth in rental income of 3.2%.
Our Partnerships achieved average total returns of close to 18% while maintaining strong credit metrics. External assets under management reached $54.0 billion with $18.1 billion liquidity in the form of equity commitments, cash and undrawn debt. We also completed $3.1 billion of asset sales across our Partnerships – primarily in Europe where we have continued to refine our investment strategy. Strong demand for industrial assets globally resulted in demand from capital partners seeking to invest alongside us.
Our financial performance, high occupancy rates and rental growth are the result of our strategy to own assets in markets where barriers to entry are high, land is scarce, and demand is robust.
We continued to deploy capital to support our organic growth strategy, which saw our development workbook increase to $10.6 billion. Our global work-in-progress is spread across 73 projects and 12 countries, and the depth of demand is leading to a high level of lease pre-commitment.
Goodman leads in the urban regeneration of logistics sites around the world. This expertise has grown more valuable, with the sustainable redevelopment of brownfield sites in high demand by our customers and these are supported by the public sector. Such developments are beneficial to the environment as they reduce the amount of greenfield land developed and re-use existing infrastructure. Infill locations, meanwhile, tend to be close to consumers, which provides our customers with faster speed to market and lower transport-related emissions.
Globally, Goodman continued to work with planning authorities and local municipalities on innovative land use developments – an endeavour of greater mutual benefit where planning authorities are conducive to the increased utilisation of space, including multi-storey buildings which comprise approximately 50% of what we are currently developing around the world.

Annual Report 2021
A sustainable impact
By accelerating the scale and timing of our sustainability goals, Goodman achieved carbon neutral global operations four years ahead of our 2025 target.
Collectively with our contractors and customers, we are working to decarbonise our development projects. We believe it is critical to examine the impact of steel, concrete and other materials and processes. As such, we have established a framework to measure the volume of embodied emissions in our development projects globally. This will enable Goodman to reduce or offset embodied carbon in the future.
Our sustainability goals are progressive, appropriate and aligned with our customers’ aspirations. They reflect our obligation to act decisively on climate change, to reduce the risk of obsolescence and to ensure the future performance of our assets.
Throughout the year, Goodman Foundation remained steadfast in its efforts to help its charitable partners not only survive but rise to the challenge of the pandemic. It was a time to back our many charity partners who knew what their communities needed most, and to be generous and flexible in how we supported them through one of the most challenging years imaginable.
Forward thinking
We have witnessed the digitalisation of the world. And there’s more to come.
Changing consumption habits have fundamentally changed the volume and nature of demand from our customers – which Goodman was, and still is, ready for. As a business that is always looking to the future, we have been strengthening our expertise and operational platform, while maintaining our strong balance sheet over several years to facilitate this transition.
I couldn’t be prouder of the Goodman team’s commitment to deliver high-quality, sustainable assets with integrity, determination and innovation. We’re well prepared for the future. Sincerely
Gregory Goodman Group Chief Executive Officer
Flexible and inclusive
Flexible working is the new normal at Goodman. We have created an agile, technology-enabled working environment, which prioritises health, safety and wellbeing for our people around the world. Flexible working suits our culture and global operations. It also protects our teams and increases our productivity and diversity. Furthermore, it opens up opportunities for our people – particularly caregivers and parents.
We view our people as owners in the business. All Goodman employees participate in our Long Term Incentive Plan (LTIP), which aligns their interests to those of our securityholders and helps us to retain key talent and maintain low turnover. The financial framework around our LTIP encourages longterm decision making and underpins personal responsibility.
We are committed to inclusion and diversity. Our target is to increase women in senior roles to 40% by 2030 so that our capable female leaders, mentors and managers can continue to have a widespread and meaningful impact on our culture.

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 2021 (FY21) and the audit report thereon.
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 20-0568, 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 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 profit per security (operating EPS) is the operating profit divided by the weighted average number of securities on issue during FY21, 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).
As it is closely aligned with operating cash generation, 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 (WIP) is the end value of active 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 $134.1 million (2020: $292.5 million). Total interest bearing liabilities are grossed up for the fair values of certain derivative financial instruments included in other financial liabilities of $62.3 million (2020: $194.0 million).
-
Interest cover is operating profit before net finance expense (operating) and income tax (operating) divided by net finance expense (operating). The calculation is in accordance with the financial covenants associated with the Group’s unsecured bank loans and includes certain adjustments to the numerator and denominator.

Annual Report 2021
Overview
The Group has been able to adapt to the challenges that FY21 has brought and has continued to grow the business sustainably for the long term.
The global pandemic has accelerated the changes in consumption trends that had already begun across the physical and digital spaces and this has increased demand for warehouse and logistics facilities. This has benefitted the Group’s existing portfolios in FY21, which have reported growth in rental income and maintained high occupancy levels. It has also given the Group confidence to commence a number of new developments, particularly multi-storey and higher intensity buildings within its urban locations, and these developments are providing essential real estate infrastructure for the long-term requirements of those cities and the Group’s customers.
This increase in development activity has been a key driver of the Group’s operating performance for FY21, with operating profit increasing by 15.0% to $1,219.4 million. This equates to an operating EPS of 65.6 cents, up 14.1% on FY20.
The customer demand for industrial space has led to another strong property valuation result with total property uplifts, including the Group’s share of Partnerships, for FY21 of $1,308.5 million. Across FY21, the weighted average capitalisation rate of the stabilised assets in the Goodman portfolios contracted from 4.9% to 4.3%.
Key operational highlights for FY21:
Property investment:
-
- Investment earnings of $411.5 million (2020: $425.2 million)
-
- $57.9 billion of total assets under management (AUM), of which the Group owns a whole or a part share
-
- 3.2% like for like growth in net property income (NPI) in Partnerships
-
- 98% occupancy across the Group and Partnerships.
Management:
-
- Management earnings of $459.1 million (2020: $511.2 million)
-
- $54.0 billion of external AUM in Partnerships
-
- Partnerships reported 17.7% weighted average total return on net assets.
Development:
-
- Development earnings of $717.9 million (2020: $575.7 million)
-
- $10.6 billion of development WIP (end value)
-
- $6.6 billion of development commencements.
The operating performance and property valuation results have contributed to Goodman’s statutory profit attributable to Securityholders for FY21 increasing by $807.9 million to $2,311.9 million. The statutory profit is reported net of the accounting expense of the Goodman LTIP of $268.8 million and included a $55.0 million fair value gain on derivatives. These items, as well as the property valuation results, are excluded from the calculation of operating profit.
Goodman has achieved this result while maintaining credit metrics in accordance with its fnancial risk management policy. At 30 June 2021, gearing was 6.8% and the funds available to the Group for future investment were $1.9 billion. Dividends and distributions relating to FY21 were maintained at 30 cents per security, equivalent to 46% of operating profit. The cash retained in the business is consistent with the financial risk management targets and is considered appropriate given the significant development activity and the commensurate growth in investments that is expected in the near term.

Goodman Group
Directors’ report
Operating and financial review (continued)
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 (with the vast majority 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 controlling operating 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, plus interest income on loans to development joint ventures, less development expenses. Development income includes development management fees and also performance related revenues associated with managing individual development projects 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 has put pressure on land use and availability. As a consequence of the acceleration of consumer purchasing habits to online shopping, Goodman has seen increased demand for space from customers in the food, consumer goods and logistics sectors, particularly related to e-commerce operators and those transitioning to online. At the same time, customers have continued to invest in order to improve the efficiency of their supply chains. In addition to storage and movements of goods, data centres have also emerged as a rapidly growing user of industrial property.
The directly held properties are primarily in Australia and have potential for significant long-term growth from redevelopment to more intense or higher and better uses. The net income from the Group’s directly held properties was similar to the prior year as the impacts of rental growth, completion of developments and acquisitions were offset by assets sold in the current and prior periods.
The more significant component of the Group’s property investment earnings was from its cornerstone interests in the Partnerships. The earnings from the Group’s share of these stabilised assets decreased by $14.5 million to $332.2 million compared to the prior year. The impact of disposals in FY20 and FY21, which included properties in central and eastern Europe, and the foreign currency translation on the overseas earnings resulted in a decrease in earnings of $29.0 million. This was partly offset by the stabilisation of developments in FY20 and FY21, as the Group has continued to invest in the Partnerships to fund its share of those developments and rental income growth from existing stabilised properties. Net property income from the Partnership portfolios in FY21 was up by over 3% on a like for like basis compared to FY20 and average occupancy was maintained at 98%.
During FY21, the Group’s share of property valuations from the stabilised portfolios (before deferred tax) was $1,174.9 million, which included valuation uplifts of $164.2 million on developments that reached completion during the year. Valuation gains occurred in all regions and whilst the rental income growth and development completions were contributors to these uplifts, the primary driver, especially in the second half of the financial year, was capitalisation rate compression. At 30 June 2021, the WACR for the Group’s portfolios was 4.3%, compared to 4.9% at the start of FY21.
The operating return on Goodman’s investment in the stabilised portfolios held by the Partnerships was 4.3% compared to 4.9% in FY20, as the growth in net property income was offset by the impacts of the valuation uplifts that increased the investment base. The returns from the Partnerships were also impacted by the level of debt in each Partnership. Gearing was maintained at the lower end of target ranges, which continued to be appropriate given the ongoing development activity and the aim of Goodman and its investment partners to position the Partnerships for sustainable long-term growth.

Annual Report 2021
Management
Management earnings in FY21 of $459.1 million decreased by 10% compared to the prior year and comprised 29% of total operating earnings (2020: 34%). This was due to lower performance fee revenue recognised in FY21 and the net adverse impact of the translation of the overseas earnings compared to the prior year. The reduction in performance related revenue was the result of the timing of calculation and recognition of fees. With the strong performance of the Partnerships in recent times, a significant backlog of potential fees may be earned in the future should conditions remain stable. The decline was partially offset by the higher base management fees as a result of the increased AUM. During FY21, external AUM increased by 12% to $54.0 billion from $48.0 billion as set out below:
External assets under management
| External assets under management | |
|---|---|
| 2021 | |
| At the beginning of the year Acquisitions |
$B 48.0 3.1 |
| Disposals | (3.1) |
| Capital expenditure (developments) | 2.1 |
| Valuations | 5.6 |
| Foreign currency translation | (1.7) |
| At the end of the year | 54.0 |
Excluding performance related income, management fee income earned from the overall management of the Group’s Partnerships was $310.1 million (2020: $304.0 million). Base management fee income increased in line with the external AUM, noting that the majority of the disposals occurred in the early part of the year and a significant component of the valuation uplifts were recorded at 30 June 2021. The base management fee income was supplemented by both property services income, which was based on the gross property income in Partnerships, and other income such as leasing fees and transactional fees.
For FY21, the Partnerships reported a weighted average total return on net assets of 17.7% (2020: 16.6%). The consistently high Partnership returns over the past few years again resulted in a strong contribution from performance fee revenue of $149.0 million; however, the timing of the assessment dates meant this was down on the prior period (FY20: $207.2 million). These performance fees arose primarily in Australia/ New Zealand, Asia and Continental Europe.
Development
In FY21, development earnings were $717.9 million (excluding revaluation gains), an increase of 25% on the prior year and comprised 45% of total operating earnings (2020: 38%). This increase would have been greater but for the adverse impact on earnings from the foreign currency translation of overseas earnings.
The increase in the Group’s earnings has primarily been volume driven and the progress and execution of the Group’s developments continues to be robust with commencements in FY21 of $6.6 billion (FY20: $4.5 billion). At 30 June 2021, WIP (based on end value) had increased to $10.6 billion (FY20: $6.5 billion) across 73 projects with a forecast yield on cost of 6.7% and a number of those projects will also generate income for FY22 and FY23.
This increase in development volumes has more than offset the impact on income arising from the longer development timeframes required for the size and scale of current projects, given the concentration in urban locations. Approximately 55% of WIP at 30 June 2021 was multi-storey and the average duration of projects in WIP was around 19 months, which implied an annualised production rate for the workbook of $6.6 billion.
Given the strong customer demand and the continued focus on urban centres, where the supply of available land is restricted, the Group has been able to commence certain projects prior to securing a pre-lease commitment. Nevertheless, of the $6.6 billion of project commencements during the year, 57% had pre-committed leases and of the development completions during FY21 of $2.4 billion (FY20: $2.4 billion), 96% had pre-committed leases.
The Group’s development earnings arise in each operating segment and from a number of different transaction types, often dependent on the nature of the Partnership. In most of the operating segments, development earnings are a mix of development management income, including performance related income, and the Group’s share of transactional profits reported by the Partnerships. The majority of inventory disposals and fixed price contract income occurred in Continental Europe, where the local Partnerships frequently acquire completed developments from Goodman; however, there were inventory disposals in Australia and the United Kingdom during FY21. Consistent with the prior year, the majority of development activity in FY21 was undertaken by or for the Partnerships and third parties (81% of WIP at 30 June 2021).

Directors’ report
Operating and financial review (continued) Analysis of performance (continued)
Operating expenses
For FY21, operating expenses increased to $294.0 million from $292.3 million, despite a $10 million decrease from the impact of foreign currency translation on overseas expenses. The majority of the operating expenses related to remuneration costs which increased to $210.8 million from $203.7 million as a result of modest inflation pressure and cash incentives paid as a result of the Group’s overall performance and include an allowance for a sustainability initiative to incentivise employees to switch to electric vehicles. Headcount was maintained in most divisions. The Group’s aim is to keep base remuneration costs relatively steady, and instead use variable remuneration to incentivise staff.
Administrative expenses decreased to $83.2 million from $88.9 million primarily due to the impacts of foreign currency translation and savings in travel expenses.
Net finance expense (operating)
Net finance expense (operating), which excluded interest income on loans to development joint ventures, derivative mark to market and unrealised foreign exchange movements, decreased to $16.4 million from $70.8 million. This was due to lower borrowing expenses on the Group’s foreign denominated loans and derivatives due to the impact of the higher Australian dollar. The foreign exchange driven decline in investment, development and management earnings described above has been offset in the benefits recorded in the finance expense. This is consistent with the Group’s hedging strategy that has been in effect for many years. In some prior periods, the borrowing expenses where higher but that offset the translation gains in revenues. The redemption of certain 144A notes also contributed to the decline in net finance expenses. These factors were partly offset by the lower interest received on the Group’s cash balances and lower capitalised interest due to declining interest rates.
Income tax expense (operating)
Income tax expense (operating) for FY21 at $58.7 million (2020: $88.8 million) decreased compared to the prior year. A significant proportion of Goodman’s earnings related to GIT and its controlled entities, which, as trusts, are ‘flow through’ entities under Australian tax legislation, meaning Securityholders (and not GIT) are taxed on their respective share of income. However, the decrease in the tax expense was primarily due to the nature and location of the Group’s development revenues.
Capital management
Interest bearing liabilities
At 30 June 2021, the Group’s available debt facilities and fixed rate long-term bonds, which totalled $3.1 billion (of which $2.1 billion had been drawn), had a weighted average maturity of 6.3 years. The Group’s cash and undrawn bank facilities totalled $1.9 billion.
At 30 June 2021, gearing was 6.8% (2020: 7.5%), which continued to be at the lower end of the Group’s policy range of 0% to 25%. Interest cover was 63.7 times (2020: 15.3 times) and the Group continued to have significant headroom relative to its financing covenants. Goodman’s credit ratings were unchanged over the year.
During FY21, the Group and its Partnerships refinanced $5.4 billion of bank debt and secured third party equity commitments of $1.8 billion to provide liquidity for ongoing acquisition and development opportunities. At 30 June 2021, the Partnerships had $18.1 billion in available cash, undrawn bank facilities and equity commitments, noting that the majority of the equity commitments remain subject to the approval by the relevant investment partners, including Goodman, of proposed property investments for which the funding is required.
Dividends and distributions
The Group’s distribution for FY21 was maintained at 30 cents per security, a pay-out ratio of 46%, with 15 cents paid on 25 February 2020 and 15 cents to be paid on 26 August 2021. This pay-out ratio has assisted the Group in retaining sufficient funds for its ongoing development activity and in keeping gearing at an appropriate level, within the desired range. The distribution reinvestment plan was not in operation during the year.
In respect of the separate components that comprise the 30 cents per security:
-
- Goodman Limited did not declare any dividends during the financial year (2020: $nil).
-
- Goodman Industrial Trust declared and accrued distributions of 24.0 cents per security (2020: 26.0 cents per security), amounting to $443.4 million (2020: $475.4 million).
-
- GLHK declared and accrued a dividend of 6.0 cents per security (2020: 4.0 cents per security), amounting to $110.8 million (2020: $73.1 million).

Annual Report 2021
Summary of items that reconcile operating profit to statutory profit
Property valuation related movements
The net gain from fair value adjustments on investment properties directly held by Goodman was $63.1 million (2020: $45.2 million). The uplift in value was primarily due to the contraction in capitalisation rates.
Goodman’s share of net gains from fair value adjustments before deferred tax attributable to investment properties in Partnerships was $1,335.4 million (2020: $625.0 million), a reflection of the quality of the property portfolios and the continued customer and investor demand for industrial assets. This valuation uplift comprised $1,111.8 million in respect of the stabilised portfolio (including valuation uplifts on developments that stabilised during the year) and $223.6 million (2020: $182.0 million) from investment properties that were still under development at 30 June 2021.
At 30 June 2021, the WACR for Goodman’s stabilised property portfolios (both directly held and Partnerships) decreased from 4.9% to 4.3%.
The valuation gains of $223.6 million from investment properties that were still under development at 30 June 2021 included gains of $95.9 million that related to buildings under development that were subject to conditional contracts for sale. In prior years, properties under development were typically not revalued prior to completion due to the shorter development periods and, as a consequence, the entire development profit was recognised in the Group’s statutory profit in the year the contract was completed. This profit was also reported as Development earnings in the analysis of the Group’s operating profit.
Given the lengthening time periods for the Group’s developments, it has become increasingly common that at reporting dates properties under development that have incomplete contracts for disposal are subject to more significant fair value movements. These movements would be reflected in the Group’s statutory profit but would not form part of that year’s operating profit. The Board intends, however, that any property valuation gains associated with properties contracted for sale that arise during the period from the commencement of the development until the date of disposal are included as Development earnings for the purposes of the Group’s operating profit calculation, but this should only occur in the reporting period when the conditions have been satisfied and the properties have been derecognised. This will usually be upon cash settlement, which reinforces the principle for determining operating profit based on cash realisation.
Accordingly, the fair value gains of $95.9 million in FY21 that related to buildings under development subject to conditional contracts for sale at 30 June 2021 will be reflected in operating profit, but only in the future reporting period when the properties are derecognised. In the future period when this occurs, the reconciliation of the Group’s statutory profit to the Group’s operating profit will include a separate line item under the property valuation related movements. This way, the valuation increases are not double counted when considering total gains generated over multiple periods. This operating profit treatment is consistent with the approach applied to a similar property disposal by one of the Partnerships that was contracted in FY19 and completed in FY20. In respect of the current financial year, there were no similar development completions.
There were no impairment losses associated with the Group’s inventories during FY21.
Fair value adjustments and unrealised foreign currency exchange movements related to liability management
The amount reported in the income statement associated with the Group’s derivative financial instruments was a net gain of $55.0 million (2020: $6.8 million net gain). This was due to the strengthening of the Australian dollar against the currencies where the Group has its principal operations.
Under the Group’s policy, it continues to hedge between 65% and 90% of the net investment in its major overseas 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 reduces 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 FY21, the movement in reserves attributable to foreign currency movements was a loss of $279.4 million.
Other non-cash adjustments or non-recurring items
The principal other non-cash adjustments or non-recurring items for FY21 related to the share based payments expense of $268.8 million for Goodman’s LTIP, which increased from $164.0 million in FY20. The increase primarily related to the fact that the Goodman Group security price increased from $14.85 to $21.17 during FY21 compared to a decrease from $15.03 to $14.85 in FY20 and also the impact of a higher vesting probability applied to the awards made in FY20 that are subject to an operating EPS target that will be measured over the year ending 30 June 2022.

The carrying value of wholly owned, stabilised investment properties increased by $224.3 million to $2,022.2 million at 30 June 2021. This was primarily due to valuation uplifts of $63.1 million and the net impact of acquisitions, capital expenditure, disposals and transfers to/from development.
The value of Goodman’s cornerstone investments in Partnerships, which excludes the Group’s share of their development assets, increased by $861.3 million to $8,668.6 million, primarily due to the valuation uplifts across the portfolios. The impacts of the stabilisations of development properties of $267.9 million (primarily in GNAP) and the associated equity contributed was offset by the impact of foreign currency translation of $279.2 million. The impact of the sale of central and eastern European assets went partially to debt reduction so it did not materially impact the Group’s overall investments.
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 $505.0 million to $3,645.1 million. This was a result of both the increased activity levels that occurred in most regions and valuation uplifts associated with investment properties under development in the Partnerships (primarily in Asia and North America). The strong levels of development activity are also reflected in the level of the Group’s development WIP (end value), which increased over the year from $6.5 billion to $10.6 billion at 30 June 2021.
The principal goodwill and intangible asset balances were in Continental Europe and the United Kingdom. The movement during FY21 related to changes in foreign currency exchange rates and there were no impairments or reversals of impairments.
During FY21, the Group redeemed USD denominated notes of US$453.8 million out of its existing cash. On a net basis, the Group’s cash and interest bearing liabilities were $1,139.9 million at 30 June 2021 compared to $1,156.6 million at 30 June 2020. Other assets included receivables and the fair values of derivative financial instruments that are in an asset position. The derivative financial instruments, both those in an asset and those in a liability position, are in place to hedge the Group’s interest rate and foreign exchange rate risks.
Other liabilities included trade and other payables, the provision for dividends/distributions to Securityholders, fair values of derivative financial instruments that are in a liability position and tax liabilities (including deferred tax).

Operating cash flows
Operating cash flows of $1,114.7 million were slightly lower than the prior year. This was a result of lower cash receipts from portfolio performance fees, which was offset by an increase in the net development cash flows and lower net cash outflows associated with the Group’s finance costs.
The receipts of portfolio performance fees are dependent on the assessment dates for the Partnerships although revenues may be recognised in advance of the assessment dates where the consistently strong Partnership returns mean that the receipt of revenue is highly probable. The prior year included cash receipts from portfolio performance fees in respect of certain of the larger Partnerships. In some cases, cash from management activities may be received in advance of the services being provided; as a result, these revenues will be reflected in the income statement later than the receipt. Such cash receipts occurred in FY20 in advance of revenue recognised in FY21 in the income statement.
18
Annual Report 2021
The net development cash inflow was $612.9 million (2020: $412.4 million), although both the gross receipts from development activities of $1,560.3 million (2020: $1,031.4 million) and the gross payments for development activities of $947.4 million (2020: $619.0 million) were higher than the prior year. This arose in part due to the nature and structure of the development activities and also the timing of completions, especially in respect of the developments that are undertaken directly by the Group and subsequently sold to Partnerships or third parties. For FY21 overall, Goodman undertook a similar percentage of its total development activities in joint ventures and Partnerships relative to the prior year. When Partnerships require funding for development activities then the Group’s share of the investment is reported in investing cash flows.
The distributions received from Partnerships in FY21 were $536.9 million, increased from $462.2 million in the prior year. The Partnerships continued to distribute their net cash flows from property investment (rental income) but the primary reason for this increase was the Group’s share of development activities in the Partnerships.
Investing cash flows
Investing cash flows primarily related to the net investments in Partnerships. In FY21 the Group invested $790.3 million (2020: $806.6 million) across all regions in order to fund new and ongoing developments. Capital returns from the Partnerships reflected capital management initiatives by certain Partnerships, with the receipts often used to fund investments in other Partnerships.
The investment property acquisitions of $192.3 million (2020: $234.3 million) were in Asia and the United Kingdom and the investment property disposals arose in Australia.
Financing cash flows
Financing cash flows include the drawdowns and repayments associated with Goodman’s interest bearing liabilities. As referred to previously, the Group redeemed USD denominated notes of US$453.8 million during the year.
The other principal financing cash outflows were the distributions paid to Securityholders of $551.4 million (2020: $546.3 million) and loan funding provided to development joint ventures of $135.0 million (2020: $ 9.8 million).
Outlook
Goodman has developed significant expertise in its markets with a deliberate strategy to target high barrier to entry markets. This has positioned the Group well for future growth. The business remains agile and consumer-centric, focused on the changing consumption habits across the physical and digital space and the evolving requirements of customers around the world. The logistics and warehousing sector continues to play a significant role globally in providing essential infrastructure, enabling distribution of critical products.
Development activity and performance will continue to be driven by significant customer led demand and the Group’s ability to meet the opportunities that this presents. The growth in demand from customers and investors, and the strength of the Group’s locations have seen land values rise and as a result many of Goodman’s existing stabilised properties have become viable for redevelopment. The Board expects the increased levels of development activity seen in FY21 will continue into FY22 and the Group is well positioned to maintain an average annual production rate consistent with the current levels, with multi-storey developments a meaningful contributor.
The outlook for investment and management earnings also remains strong, as the customer demand and supply constraints in the Group’s markets provide support for both rents and occupancy. Investment earnings will also benefit from the completion of the ongoing developments and management earnings will be further enhanced by the strong positive near-term valuation outlook, which combined with the sustained development volumes, are expected to provide growth in AUM to more than $65 billion in FY22.
The Board sets financial performance targets annually and reviews them regularly. The Board anticipates that the challenges brought about by COVID-19 will continue over the longer term, however the Group has significant expertise, financial resources, a strategic real estate portfolio and culture to adapt to challenging business conditions. Overall, the Group expects to achieve operating EPS of 72.2 cents in FY22, up 10% on FY21.
Forecasts are subject to there being no material adverse change in market conditions or the occurrence of other unforeseen events.
During FY21, the Group also issued new capital of $65.1 million (2020: $nil) to fund certain obligations under the LTIP.

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.

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.

Annual Report 2021
Dear Securityholders,
On behalf of the Board, we are pleased to present the 2021 remuneration report, outlining Goodman’s remuneration strategy and principles.
The financial year 2021 (FY21) has been marked by the ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the associated challenges for Goodman’s business, our people, customers, investors and the communities in which we operate and live.
During this time and amid physical changes to the working environment, Goodman’s culture and long-term focus on building leadership capability and resilience in our assets, has allowed us to continue to respond and adapt. Our business plays an important role in providing essential infrastructure as well as aspiring to make a tangible difference to the communities in which we operate, and Goodman has reacted to the crisis through increasing support to affected groups. We appreciate the exceptional effort that has been made by our people.
Managing the welfare of employees has been a critical consideration in achieving the Group’s financial and operational targets. Goodman has moved to a fully flexible operating environment with all our people globally set up with access to mobile connectivity, to mitigate the impact of the pandemic on personal situations. We believe over time this will lead to improved diversity in the workforce. Managers within the Group, in particular the senior executives, have demonstrated significant levels of leadership, compassion and commitment in their efforts to achieve the Group’s commercial objectives.
Goodman is a leading internationally diversified real estate fund manager in the logistics real estate sector. The attraction and retention of talent is essential for the long-term success of the business. This is increasingly challenging as opportunistic competitors seek to recruit Goodman’s high-performing teams, exacerbated by significantly increased demand for logistics real estate in our markets.
Our longstanding and consistent approach to remuneration has served us well and has been a key driver of our sustained success as an international business. Goodman’s remuneration framework is essential to attracting and retaining high quality professionals with local expertise, who develop businesses and foster relationships globally and drive Goodman’s long-term success. This approach aligns the interests of employees and Securityholders and is integral to the exceptional results delivered for Securityholders over a sustained period.
Sustained performance
Over more than a decade, the Group has established strong and resilient leadership teams, culture, financial resources and a strategic real estate portfolio, to enhance the sustainability of earnings through difficult market conditions. This has allowed us to adapt to the new operating environment with limited disruption and continue to position for long-term growth. The Board is proud that Goodman has performed strongly through this period and our long-term vision, which includes a strong focus on cash flow, liquidity, and risk management, has been executed consistently and diligently.

Goodman Group
Directors’ report
Remuneration report – audited (continued)
FY21 results represented a competitive rate of growth in earnings whilst maintaining appropriate levels of risk relative to other large listed equity alternatives. The results delivered in the year also represented significant outperformance relative to operational targets and this translated into superior returns for Securityholders while positioning the business for future sustainable growth. Despite the market uncertainty, our measured approach over many years has allowed Goodman to retain, and also exceed, previous operating EPS guidance for FY21 and to position the business for a competitive rate of operating EPS growth for FY22.
We have continued to reflect the importance placed on achieving our sustainability and environmental objectives, incorporating key targets into the operations and longterm business strategies of the Group. These objectives are not only cultural, but our people will be measured on achievements against them over the long term.
Continued improvement and alignment of the LTIP
We believe that our fundamental principle of aligning all our people and Securityholders meaningfully through equity is unusual in the Australian market and has been a significant factor contributing to the resilience of our business. This should help deliver the Group’s and Securityholders’ desired outcomes despite the uncertain outlook for global markets.
Goodman’s business has evolved significantly over the past 12 years since the introduction of the current LTIP. The Group’s increased focus on urban infill markets has led to significantly longer development horizons and time frames for realisation of value through the regeneration and change of use of these assets. In the Board’s view, the long-term nature of the structural trends impacting our sector and Goodman’s approach to real estate investment in relation to this, necessitates refinements to the current LTIP. Consequently, the Board has made changes to the LTIP awards that will be made in FY22. For the Group CEO, executive KMP and senior executives this includes:
-
- Extending the testing period to four years (from three years)
-
- Significantly increasing the vesting period to ten years (from five years)
-
- Increasing the difficulty of the testing and vesting thresholds for both operating EPS and relative TSR
-
- Adding environmental and sustainability hurdles to the vesting conditions.
The Board believes increasing the testing period and significantly lengthening the vesting period for the key leadership group in the organisation, will further influence decision making to deliver operating results which are both superior and sustainable over the long term. It also provides sufficient time scale to implement our ESG initiatives and achieve our targets in a manner which creates even greater alignment with the outcomes for Securityholders.
The Board’s belief in a pay for performance culture is reflected in the challenging hurdles set for FY22 remuneration awards, which if achieved at the top end of the range, should provide Securityholders with top decile performance and over 50% growth in operating profit over the four years. The Board is always mindful of the focus on overall remuneration levels and spends considerable time each year determining remuneration outcomes for the Group CEO and other Key Management Personnel. We recognise the range of expectations and have made decisions that we believe take into consideration the perspectives of all stakeholders.
We 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 giving us the opportunity to get an update on Securityholder perspectives and local and global market practices. We look forward to receiving your views and support at our 2021 Annual General Meeting.
Yours sincerely,

Annual Report 2021
1. REMUNERATION GOVERNANCE
1.1 The role of the Board and Remuneration Committee
The Board considers remuneration with a minimum five year view. It takes into consideration the impact that decisions made over the last three to five years have had on current performance and how it expects the business to perform over the next five years and beyond. It is not solely an exercise in reviewing a single year.
The Board believes the success of Goodman is primarily due to its people and their ability to execute a global strategy that requires agility, strong collaboration and an inclusive culture, all of which are key elements supported by the LTIP.
The Board:
-
- Encourages management to take a long-term strategic rather than opportunistic approach to property investment
-
- Integrates the operational, financial, environmental, and human strategy to create long-term sustainable returns
-
- Focuses on the consistency of cash generation, through the Group’s operating profit, as the most tangible means of measuring long-term value creation for Securityholders.
When determining the remuneration levels and outcomes for FY21, the Remuneration Committee has considered the specifics of individual performance, in the context of the ongoing challenges of the COVID-19 environment and collectively in the context of the Group’s continued strong performance. Given the nature of the Group’s global operations, the Remuneration Committee has paid particular attention to the global marketplace and the competitors in our sector.
Refinements to the LTIP this year aim to reinforce Goodman’s long-term decision making in line with the evolution of the business and operational strategy, aligning this with outcomes for Securityholders as well as providing competitive remuneration to attract and retain high quality people.
1.2 Key Activities of the Remuneration Committee for FY21
The Remuneration and Nomination Committee was reconstituted as the Remuneration Committee on 18 February 2021 and a separate Nomination Committee was established. The establishment of a separate Nomination Committee is in line with the ASX Corporate Governance Council’s Principles and Recommendations and provides a separate focus on the Board composition and skills, succession planning for Directors and senior executives (refer to Goodman’s Corporate Governance statement for further information).
Members of the Remuneration Committee for FY21 were:

----- End of picture text -----
The Remuneration Committee has continued to make significant enhancements to the structure of remuneration. The Committee has:
-
- Enhanced the LTI awards through the introduction of a ten year plan for the Group CEO, executive KMP and other senior executives (as detailed in Section 3). This plan, which will apply for the intended grant of performance rights to be made in September 2021 in respect of FY21 performance, will extend the testing period to four years and the vesting period to ten years, thereby increasing the period of alignment between executive remuneration and Securityholder returns, will include more challenging hurdles and incorporate additional environmental and sustainability targets to the testing conditions for all other eligible employees
-
- Agreed with the Group CEO (as in prior years) that he would not participate in the STI award and all his performance-based remuneration in relation to his FY21 performance will be in the form of LTI
-
- Added a requirement for executive KMP to hold securities in the Group, to a minimum value of 100% of fixed remuneration (requirement to be met by 1 October 2021).
Changes are also proposed to Non-Executive Director fees to bring them in line with market levels and to the Non-Executive Director annual fee cap, to facilitate the increased fees, manage Board succession and overlaps, and accommodate the potential appointment of additional Directors.

2. REMUNERATION STRATEGY
Goodman is a globally diversified real estate fund manager, the largest developer of industrial and logistics buildings in the world and one of the largest listed industrial property managers. The Group’s people are largely based outside Australia, and Goodman’s remuneration structure reflects the requirements of the highly competitive labour markets we are competing in globally, not just in Australia, and the objective of aligning multiple regional businesses and operational segments with Group strategy and performance outcomes. A significant proportion of the value of the Group, reflected in the $27 billion premium between Goodman’s security price of $21.17 and Goodman’s net tangible assets per security of $6.68, is attributable to the value created across the global platform. Given the active nature of the Group’s operations, the Board believes that this is almost entirely due to Goodman’s people, the decisions they make and their ability to execute that has positioned the Group to grow cash flow from operations sustainably.
The retention of talent is therefore critical for the long-term success of the Group and is increasingly challenging as opportunistic competitors seek to recruit Goodman’s high-performing teams in each of Goodman’s markets. The Group’s remuneration policy is crucial to its ability to have the appropriate human resources to deliver on the strategy, create the right culture and drive performance for the benefit of all stakeholders.
Goodman’s remuneration structure, in particular the focus on equity-based reward, has been a key component of the success of Goodman as an international organisation. The Board believes aligning all people at Goodman with Securityholders through the Group’s remuneration policy has added significant value to the Group. It has been a fundamental differentiator in generating and rewarding long-term performance and retaining quality people in a highly competitive global environment. It is particularly important considering the challenges COVID-19 has created, as it binds all employees together as owners of the business and is a powerful incentive and driver of operational resilience.
30
Annual Report 2021
2.1 Key remuneration principles
Refining remuneration in line with Group strategy, structural changes and our ESG aspirations
Given the cyclical nature of real estate, incentive structures within real estate businesses are highly outcome driven (particularly by private equity real estate managers where most institutional assets reside). Goodman’s capital and resource allocations shift over time, requiring rewards to be measured over longer periods. 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.
There are several key principles of remuneration at Goodman:
-
- Focus on LTI as the predominant source of pay for performance across the Group. All employees are eligible to receive LTI grants as a material component of remuneration and are tested using challenging hurdles without encouraging inappropriate risk (see section 3.8.6), enhancing alignment of rewards across the Group with Securityholders
-
- Aligning the deliverable outcomes of all employees globally, with Goodman’s aspirations of long-term cash flow growth, resilience, and sustainability. This is practically achieved through the focus on operating profit (which is closely aligned with cash profits) as the primary testing measure for LTI awards (see section 3.8.5)
-
- Collaboration to achieve Group-wide targets across regions and business units
-
- A culture of ownership, inclusion and alignment, where all Goodman’s people experience investment returns aligned with Securityholders.
Goodman’s business has evolved significantly over the past 12 years since the introduction of the LTIP. The Group’s increased focus on urban infill markets has led to significantly longer development horizons, realisation of urban regeneration and change of use of existing assets. In summary:
-
- Site acquisition and value add to existing stabilised sites, typically require five to ten year (and sometimes longer) time frames to achieve highest and best use and urban regeneration outcomes
-
- Goodman’s approach to development considers the lifecycle of the asset even for new developments which allow further intensification or change of use at a later time. This sometimes comes at the expense of short-term performance; however, this approach is consistent with the Group’s strategic objectives and provides future value realisation potential, over significant time periods
-
- Increased focus on ESG and integration of these aspirations into the Group’s operational activities similarly requires significant time periods (often beyond five years) for implementation. Goodman’s approach to community, environmental sustainability and wellbeing are all long-term aspirations aligned with the financial sustainability objectives.
In the Board’s view, the long-term nature of the structural trends impacting our sector and Goodman’s approach to real estate investment in relation to this, necessitates refinements to the LTIP for future awards.
Consequently, the Board has made changes to the LTI awards that will be made in FY22. For the Group CEO, executive KMP and senior executives this includes:
-
- Extending the testing period to four years (from three years)
-
- Significantly increasing the vesting period to ten years (from five years)
-
- Increasing the difficulty of the testing and vesting thresholds for both operating EPS and Relative TSR
-
- Adding environmental and sustainability hurdles to the vesting conditions.
The Board believes increasing the LTIP testing period and the significant lengthening of the vesting period for the senior executives in the organisation, will further influence decision making and more closely align with the time periods required to deliver superior operational results on a sustainable basis. It also provides sufficient time scale to implement key ESG initiatives and achieve the Group’s targets, particularly in relation to environmental and sustainability objectives, in a manner that creates alignment with the outcomes for Securityholders.
The existing LTIP is already inclusive across the organisation and spans over five years. It will remain in place for all eligible employees who do not participate in the new ten year plan and will be enhanced to include hurdles aligned with the ten year plan.

Annual Report 2021
2.3 Remuneration mix and alignment across the Group
The Board believes that the alignment between pay and long-term performance is evidenced by the significant proportion of the total remuneration that is at risk for the Group CEO, the other executive KMP and the whole organisation. In respect of the Group CEO, all of his ‘at risk’ remuneration is in the form of LTI.
This point is demonstrated in the charts below that consider the vested remuneration received during FY21. Vested remuneration represents the value that is received during the year. It includes fixed base pay, STI and the value of performance rights that vested during the year (from prior grants) using the closing Goodman security price on the day of vesting.
The ‘at risk’ remuneration (FY21 STI and LTI performance rights that vested on 1 September 2020) forms a significant proportion of total vested remuneration for all employees, but especially for the Group CEO and the other executive KMP. The Board believes that this demonstrates the alignment of the remuneration outcomes for the Group CEO with the outcomes for Securityholders, who have experienced very strong performance in recent years. Had the Securityholder returns been lower, the level of ‘at risk’ remuneration would have been lower and fixed remuneration would have made up a greater proportion of the total vested remuneration in FY21 for all employees, but especially for the Group CEO and the other executive KMP.

The Board also notes that:
-
- There are no changes to fixed remuneration levels for executive KMP in FY22
-
- As in previous years the Group CEO will not participate in the STI award or any other form of variable cash remuneration (comparatively, the ASX 100 average fixed pay plus STI is approximately 50% of total remuneration)
-
- 87% of the Group CEO’s remuneration for his FY21 performance will be taken in the form of performance rights.
-
Under the new ten year plan and with the above remuneration structure:
-
- The Group CEO would not receive any performance-based reward in respect of his performance for FY21 if the Group does not meet its minimum performance hurdles under the LTIP over the next four years (measured at 30 June 2025)
-
- The ultimate value of the award will be subject to Goodman’s security price performance and will only be fully realised over the ten years to the 2032 financial year.

3.2 Setting awards for the Group Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and executive KMP
When assessing the Group CEO’s and other executive KMP remuneration for FY21, the Board has given consideration to:
-
- The structure of the awarded remuneration
-
- Goodman’s relative performance amongst global peers and operational targets for FY21
-
- Goodman’s consistent track record over the past ten years that has also positioned the business for the future
-
- Global market conditions for human capital in the sector.
The Board is firstly focused on creating a remuneration structure that supports the Group’s strategy and is aligned with outcomes for Securityholders and then on determining an appropriate quantum of remuneration under that structure.
On this basis, the Board has considered the outcomes for Securityholders, based on the testing criteria under the ten year plan and the ‘pay for performance’ alignment with all Goodman employees (all permanent employees, approximately 930 people, are eligible). As demonstrated below, before any performance awards are realised under the ten year plan, significant Securityholder value is required to be created (all other things equal, that equates to $12 billion in market capitalisation growth, consistent with >31% TSR over the period, based on the assumptions set out in the table below). If full vesting occurs, based on all other things remaining equal, $22 billion of Securityholder value will have been created and this would result in approximately 50% TSR (based on the assumptions below) and the employee’s share of this would be approximately 3%. Returns are net to Securityholders as operating EPS calculations driving the growth in value account for the full dilution of the plan over the testing period.

Notes:
-
Assumes that the proportion of rights that vest under the operating EPS hurdle also applies to the rights that vest under the relative TSR hurdle.
-
Based on 30 June 2021 security price, assuming the market Price/Earnings (P/E) multiple applied to operating EPS remains unchanged over time and is inclusive of an allowance for increases in the securities on issue because of securities vesting under the LTIP. Excludes distributions and dividend payments that may be made during the period.
-
Assumes constant P/E multiple at the end of year 4 and the relevant CAGR in operating EPS growth.
-
Values the number of vested securities at the assumed security price which is calculated using the 30 June 2021 value and growing it at the same rate as the operating EPS growth.
The maximum employee share of the value created will occur if the awards fully vest through reaching the cumulative 10% CAGR in operating EPS after four years and the relative TSR performance is at the 90th percentile. This represents only 3.4% of the $20.6 billion value potentially created for Securityholders or the 46.4% potential security price growth (all other things being equal). If growth exceeds 10% per annum and the security price grows beyond the assumption above, the employees will receive greater rewards in absolute terms, but their share diminishes relative to Securityholders.
Based on the reduction in economic value (as detailed in section 4) of performance rights issued under the ten year plan, additional performance rights will be awarded to maintain the same economic value compared with what would otherwise have been awarded under the five year plan. However, under the proposed grants, the increase in units issued, if 100% vesting for both the relative TSR and operating EPS rights are achieved, would only result in approximately 0.2% additional operating EPS dilution to Securityholders, which is spread over a further five years. The Board believes that the benefits of alignment and securing senior executives over a significantly longer period of time, as a result of the ten year plan, outweighs this relatively small dilution to Securityholders which only occurs should the hurdles be met.
For these reasons, the Board has concluded that the structure of the Goodman LTIP is aligned with the business strategy and Securityholder returns.

3.3 Considerations for award quantum
Given the variability in the components of remuneration structures in the market, Goodman’s comparator group analysis of value and quantum of awards must be considered in the context of the degree of risk associated with the structures and the vesting periods.
The Board has set the hurdles in respect of the intended LTI award for FY22 to achieve a significant degree of alignment with Securityholder outcomes and to provide substantial challenges (and risk of achievement) for the executive KMP. This is reflected in the ten year plan for the Group CEO, executive KMP and other senior executives (with four year testing and ten year vesting). The alignment and challenges are also reflected in the five year plan, which will be maintained for remaining employees (with three year testing and five year vesting). In comparison, ASX 300 listed companies’ long-term incentives average approximately three years and generally are only for a few senior executives. In addition, performance rights awarded under the LTIP do not have any voting rights or rights to dividends until vested, even after passing testing hurdles.
While the face value (represented by the current security price multiplied by the number of performance rights granted) provides an indication of potential value of the grant at a point in time, it does not consider absolute or subjective criteria in achieving the awards nor the skew to remuneration that is at risk. The face value measure does not allow for direct comparison when assessing the different risk profiles associated with the vesting hurdles and substantially longer vesting periods. Having regard to these factors, the Board considers it both appropriate and necessary to consider the economic value of awards and consequently performance rights under both the five year and, even more importantly, to assessing the ten year plan.
The Board has determined its LTI awards for KMP on the basis that the hurdles, testing and vesting requirements under the ten year plan are significantly more onerous relative to the LTI awarded in the prior year under the five year plan. The awards under the ten year plan require higher returns over a longer period and include additional environmental and sustainability hurdles (see section 3.8.6 on proposed FY21 LTIP operating EPS grant targets).
The economic value of performance rights in particular, and remuneration structures in general, have taken into account:
-
- The composition of remuneration, taking into consideration the proportion of cash versus conditional equity
-
- An appropriate discount to allow for the lower probability of vesting given the increase to a four year testing period and the more challenging hurdles/thresholds set by the Board
-
- A further discount for time value of money differential given the vesting of the rights occurs over ten years.
3.4 Valuation of performance rights (Economic Value)
Valuation methodology
The Board engaged an international accounting firm and two investment banks to assist it in the determination of the economic value of the performance rights. A Black Scholes approach was applied having regard, among other things, to:
-
- The probability of achieving the TSR and EPS vesting criteria, and the associated impact that this has on the expected vesting outcome
-
- Expectations with respect to the Group’s security price (including growth and volatility) and distribution payments
-
- The time value of money applied through a discount rate.
A number of different methods were considered to determine the appropriate discount rate. The Board resolved that a discount rate based on observable expected returns provided the best estimate for the cost of equity of the Group over a time period consistent with the LTIP. This can be calculated based on the current earnings of the Group and its expected growth rate over the foreseeable period. These factors can be reliably measured based on available market information and are most closely aligned with Securityholder return expectations over the relevant period.
As a result, the Board has adopted a 12.5% discount rate. Applying this discount rate and the other key inputs results in an assessed economic value per right of $6.10 for the ten year plan.
Note that this economic value assessment does not include any discount factor to take account of the additional environmental and sustainability objectives, which if not met, will reduce the amount of performance rights that vest.
Other relevant considerations
The Board and Remuneration Committee have considered the entire enterprise of the Group and its Partnerships globally, when assessing the executive’s roles and remuneration awards. In this context, Goodman:
-
- Is an international real estate fund manager
-
- Reported $2.3 billion statutory profit, and a combined statutory profit across the Group and Partnerships of $6.7 billion in FY21
-
- Delivered $5.8 billion in valuation growth across the Group and Partnerships in FY21
-
- Is the largest listed specialist developer of logistics real estate in the world, with $10.6 billion of work in progress
-
- Manages and creates value across of $57.9 billion of assets globally
-
- Manages capital allocation and funding across various activity types, which is sourced from multiple sophisticated markets and jurisdictions
-
- Has grown to $39.1 billion market capitalisation at 30 June 2021 and is a member of the S&P/ASX 20 index
38
Annual Report 2021
-
- Generates 68% of operating earnings from management and development activities which require more intensive day to day activity than a passive investment portfolio
-
- 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
-
- Derives 71% of operating earnings from international markets with approximately 70% of employees situated offshore.
The Group has limited direct comparable market peers in Australia, having operating businesses in five continents and 14 countries, each with market driven remuneration outcomes. The Group has 941 employees at 30 June 2021, the majority of whom are offshore, and consequently Goodman competes for labour in an international market, which the Board considers when assessing the quantum of remuneration awards. In FY21, the Board has set this by reference to:
-
- A range of local and global comparators with operations of similar scale and complexity and certain companies in the ASX 20
-
- Private equity (PE) firms. Noting that PE firms are significant players in the logistics real estate sector with considerable new capital with a desire to assemble teams and invest in the sector. PE remuneration is particularly relevant because (1) the nature of pay for performance remuneration structures is highly equity based and outcome-driven similar to Goodman’s remuneration structure and (2) the period of testing and realisation of remuneration is linked to investor outcomes over significant periods up to ten years, again similar to Goodman’s remuneration structure. The majority of the Group’s assets are within PE (unlisted) market entities, which in turn creates significant competition for high quality people.
In the Board’s view, the competitive environment for logistics assets and consequently teams with skills to develop and manage the products and services over the long term, has intensified significantly over the past 18 months. Goodman is seen as a global leader in this space and the potential loss of key employees and regional teams poses significant commercial risk. The Board has assessed the FY21 awards in this context.
Under the Group CEO’s proposed FY22 LTI award, the Board has again considered the range of outcomes that are possible and the Securityholder returns that accompany them.
On the basis of the estimated economic values of the total remuneration outlined (noting the proposed LTI awards with longer testing period, longer vesting period and significantly larger portion at risk) and considering the market capitalisation and performance differentials of the groups below, it is considered that an appropriate benchmark for the Group CEO’s remuneration is around A$15 million. Despite this, the Board has agreed a value of A$10.9 million in respect of his performance in FY21.

In conjunction with the appropriate quantum, the Board views the alignment of outcomes for the Group CEO (and executive KMP) as a primary consideration in setting awards and ties to the thresholds and vesting conditions in order to create a system in which competitive returns accrue to Securityholders in order for performance based pay to be triggered.
The Group CEO’s intended LTI grant for FY22 has been formulated based on:
-
- The Board’s assessment of appropriate quantum of award in respect of his FY21 performance
-
- The FY22 LTIP structure (considering that the potential vesting of performance rights under the ten year plan does not occur fully until 1 September 2031)

3.6 Non-financial measures
3.6.1 Types of non-financial measures
Goodman continues to increase accountability and transparency across a range of non-financial measures which are important to the Group culture, its stakeholders and the world more broadly. These are integral components to the operations of the organisation, the health and wellbeing of the Group’s people and the communities in which Goodman operates. These values and aspirations encompass a wide range of areas including:
-
- Environmental considerations for developments and building operations
-
- Energy procurement including renewable targets
-
- Group emissions and embodied emissions
-
- Health and wellbeing of Goodman’s people and communities
-
- Good corporate and social governance including diversity and inclusion in the workforce
-
- Behaviour in line with Goodman’s Code of Conduct.
All of these aspirations are integrated into Goodman’s culture and business operations and the Group’s financial results are achieved while also implementing and performing to these standards.
The way 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. 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.
Individual’s behaviour and adherence to the code of conduct, governance, implementation of diversity principles and social programs is assessed as a gate to STI and LTI awards. Breaches can also result in forfeiture of LTI or potentially more stern consequences depending on severity.
In respect of the FY21 STI awards and the intended LTI awards that will be made in September 2021 (in respect of FY21 performance), key environmental and sustainability targets will also be assessed based on the individual’s areas of influence and contributions as part of overall assessment.
3.6.2 Integration of non-financial measures into STI
| STI Process | |
|---|---|
| Impact | |
| 1st Hurdle Conduct, Governance, Social and Diversity Gate 2nd Hurdle Operating EPS Gate Financial, and operational assessments (including environmental objectives) Individual assessment 0-100% |
3.6.3 Integration of non-financial measures into LTI
The Board also believes that ownership through the LTIP embeds a culture of inclusion and sense of place in Goodman and that this has been strongly reflected in the Group’s performance over many years and particularly through COVID-19. While behaviour and adherence to the Group’s Code of Conduct has always been a prerequisite to entitlement to vested LTI, for future LTI awards, starting with the intended awards in September 2021, the Board will incorporate an additional hurdle for vesting, related to our environmental and sustainability targets.
-
- The Board will set annual targets which form a subset of the Group’s long-term and publicly available environmental and sustainability targets and measure performance against these each year
-
- Environmental and sustainability objectives and their execution are integrated into the operations of the Group, particularly for development projects. For this reason, the additional penalty criteria will apply to the operating EPS tested performance rights. This aligns operational targets which are within the control of senior executives and employees at all levels and therefore have the most logical connection to operational performance
-
- Targets set by Board will be tested annually and at the end of year four
-
- The penalty applies to the number of performance rights that have satisfied the operating EPS hurdle with 20% maximum reduction in the event of material underperformance against targets
-
- Targets will be reported each year in the remuneration report.

Questions
Who is eligible to All full-time and part-time permanent employees.
participate in the STI? The Group CEO agreed with the Board not to participate in the STI awards, to emphasise reward for long-term
decision making across the organisation.
Nick Kurtis (Group Head of Equities), Michael O’Sullivan (Group Chief Risk Officer) and Nick Vrondas
(Group Chief Financial Officer) have agreed with the Board to forgo varying portions of their STI awards in line
with FY20 in exchange for LTI, to emphasise reward for long-term decision making across the organisation.
What is the form Cash. For executive KMP, 50% of the STI award is paid on finalisation of Goodman’s full year result.
of the STI award? 50% of the STI award is deferred and paid in cash after a period of 12 months and the deferred STI amount
is subject to forfeiture under malus provisions (see below).
What is the maximum STI awards are capped at 150% of fixed remuneration for executive KMP. Target STI for individuals is also
award participants compared to market based remuneration data and their manager’s own assessment of what an appropriate
may earn? level of incentive compensation may be relative to the long-term value that person brings to the Group.
How is the STI earned? The Board sets budget targets for the business annually. These targets are set relative to the market conditions,
earnings visibility, financial structure and strategy and are believed to be challenging and appropriate.
STI for all staff is subject to: (1) meeting behavioural expectations under the Group Code of Conduct; and
(2) achieving operating EPS (based on the annual forecast for the relevant year) (3) financial and operational
assessment (4) assessment against environmental and sustainability targets.
How is the individual STI rewards annual performance against objectives of the individual and the Group.
STI award determined? The Group objectives include multiple factors as set from time to time, dependent on the market and strategy
of the Group. Overall Group financial performance relative to targets is the primary assessment, overlaid with
required achievement against environmental and sustainability objectives and adherence to the Group’s core values.
The Remuneration Committee looks at conduct and specific judgements are made in relation to this.
The performance of individuals is assessed through a detailed and formal performance appraisal process based
on contribution to defined objectives, behavioural expectations, annual contribution to results as well as strategic
and other contributions where these results or benefits may be reflected in future years.
Is there malus/clawback? The executive KMP STI awards are subject to 50% deferral for 12 months from the date of publication of Goodman’s
financial statements. This deferral period provides protection from malus. The Board has discretion to forfeit deferred
amounts for material misstatement, fraud or adverse changes that would have affected the award where there is
executive responsibility.
Is STI deferred into equity? No. A much greater portion of remuneration for executive KMP is in the form of LTI (equity) than arguably any other
S&P/ASX 100 entity and hence they are already significantly more aligned with Securityholders’ outcomes than
executives at other listed entities. As a result, in the Board’s view, there is little further benefit in deferring STI into equity.
What happens to For all executive KMP, the deferred portion of STI award is subject to immediate forfeiture in circumstances where
STI upon termination? employees are dismissed for cause without notice (e.g. fraud or serious misconduct) or resign from the organisation.
The Board has discretion to pay deferred STI in exceptional circumstances, where employees leave the Group, with
good leaver status, due to certain personal circumstances or due to permanent disablement or death.
----- End of picture text -----
3.8 Long-term incentive
The LTIP is an equity plan where rewards are at risk of performance and time. It 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 minimum 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.
-
- If performance achieves or exceeds long-term targets and performance rights vest, LTI represents the majority of remuneration for executive KMP and becomes a material component of remuneration for all participating employees.
-
- In FY22 a ten year plan will be introduced for the Group CEO, executive KMP and other senior executives. Key differences to the previous five year plan are explained in section 3.1 and the key terms of both plans are set out below.

Questions in relation to grants to be made in FY22
Who is eligible All full-time and part-time permanent employees are eligible to participate in either the five year or the ten year
to participate? plans. Executive KMP and senior executives participate in the ten year plan.
What is the form The LTIP awards performance rights linked to the underlying ASX listed securities. The performance rights do not
of the award? receive distributions or have any right to income net assets or voting until vesting.
What is the maximum When considering the overall size of LTI awards, the Board also considers the number of securities that could
LTI participants vest and the associated impact on the operating EPS growth. The total five year and ten year performance rights
may earn? outstanding 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 Goodman operates and the value of the team in the local and global marketplace,
as appropriate.
How is the number The Board sets quantum based on a number of factors described in section 3. The number of rights is then
of rights determined? determined by dividing the LTI award amount by the economic value per right, as determined by the Board.
What are the Behaviour in accordance with Goodman’s core values is an absolute requirement for the granting of performance
performance measures? rights and a minimum hurdle for LTI awards to vest as continued employment is a pre-condition.
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 TSR (relative to the S&P/ASX 100).
Operating EPS is a critical measure of long-term global performance of the operations (see section 3.8.5).
The hurdles are set to be competitive and challenging relative to external and internal historical and prospective
reference points (see section 3.8.6).
TSR provides an effective check against increasing risk practices within the Group i.e. the security price to
earnings multiple will reflect the perceived risk in the Group in achieving operating EPS targets.
Focus on LTI is an efficient way of rewarding sustained performance and retaining talent.
FY22 LTI awards, will incorporate environmental and sustainability targets, in addition to the operating EPS and
relative TSR hurdles. Targets set by the Board will be tested annually and at the end of the LTIP testing period.
A penalty applies to the number of performance rights that have satisfied the operating EPS hurdle, with 20%
maximum reduction if material underperformance against the environmental and sustainability targets occur.
What is the weighting? 75% operating EPS hurdle 25% relative TSR hurdle
What is the Ten year plan: both operating EPS and relative TSR performance are tested over four financial years starting
performance period? from 1 July in the year the grant was made. Operating EPS growth is assessed in the fourth year relative to the
year preceding the year of the grant. Environmental and sustainability targets are tested annually and at the
end of year four.
Five year plan: both operating EPS and relative TSR performance are tested over three financial years starting
from 1 July in the year the grant was made. Operating EPS growth is assessed in the third year relative to the
year preceding the year of the grant. Environmental and sustainability targets are tested annually and at the end
of year three.
How do the Ten year plan: Subject to meeting performance hurdles, vesting occurs in equal tranches shortly after the end
LTIP awards vest? of years 4-10, provided participants remain employed by the Group.
Five year plan: Subject to meeting performance hurdles, vesting occurs in equal tranches shortly after the end
of years 3-5, provided participants remain employed by the Group.
Is there malus/clawback? Subject to immediate forfeiture in circumstances where employees are dismissed for cause without notice
(e.g. fraud or serious misconduct). LTI will also be forfeited where employees cease to be employed, unless in
Special Circumstances.
What happens to LTIP Performance rights lapse upon the employee leaving Goodman unless in Special Circumstances (primarily
awards upon termination? Death, TPD, Redundancy and Retirement (at retirement age) in which case they are not subject to the employment
requirement and vest subject to performance hurdles being met and the usual timetable. The Board may determine
acceleration in exceptional circumstances if considered appropriate.
What rights are attached Performance rights have no Securityholder rights prior to vesting (e.g. distributions, voting, rights issue participation).
to the performance rights?
Executive KMP Executive KMP are required to hold 100% of the value of their fixed remuneration in Goodman securities, determined
equity holding at time of purchase. The requirement will apply from 1 October 2021. In addition, Goodman’s remuneration structure
includes significant emphasis on performance-based remuneration in equity and the overall exposure of KMP
to Goodman securities extends significantly beyond this requirement principally through participation in the LTIP.

Annual Report 2021
3.8.5 Operating EPS – long-term cash flow alignment with vesting outcomes
The Group presents statutory profit in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, including all required disclosures. The Board believes that managing the business, on what is primarily a cash profit basis, is fundamental to long-term resilience and is the strongest determinant of value creation for Securityholders over time. That is the intent of the Group’s operating profit definition and it is one of the key measures used to drive the business strategy that is communicated to Goodman’s employees to execute. This is also why the Board has used operating EPS as one of the principal targets in its awards of both STI and LTI.
Calculation of operating EPS
Operating EPS has been calculated and applied consistently since being adopted in 2005.
-
- Operating profit intentionally excludes non-cash measures. Previously, the Group has excluded significant realised gains (such as the urban renewal realisation gains) where these were believed to be cyclical in nature and not reflective of underlying long-term earnings.
-
- As required under the accounting standards, the share-based payments (SBP) expense in the Group’s statutory income statement reflects the amortisation of the aggregated fair value applicable to the outstanding performance rights. Given the volatility inherent in the accounting valuation of the performance rights, the SBP expense is excluded from operating profit, like other non-cash items (such as revaluations). Instead, the Board believes the cost of the plan, which arises from the future dilution through the issuance of securities under the LTIP, is most appropriately reflected by including all vested and tested performance rights in the denominator used for determining operating EPS.
-
- The operating EPS at each reporting date is calculated using the weighted average number of securities, which includes:
-
all securities that have already vested
-
rights that have been tested and assessed as having met the hurdles but have not yet vested.
The inclusion of these unvested performance rights in the operating EPS calculation is a conservative treatment as:
-
- The financial impact of the performance rights occurs only when securities are issued through the dilution to net assets at the time of issuance and the dilution to future operating EPS
-
- Not all performance rights necessarily vest. This can only occur if testing criteria are met and by extension, the Group’s performance has achieved or exceeded performance criteria, which doesn’t necessarily align with SBP expense
-
- Following successful testing at years three or four, performance rights still have no entitlement to income (distributions) or net assets nor do they have any of the other usual Securityholder rights until they vest, which may be up to six years later (under the ten year plan).
Therefore, in the Board’s view realised cash profit as represented by diluted operating EPS is the most reliable measure of value creation for Securityholders and continues to be an appropriate means by which to assess employee performance. It is also consistent with the predominant method of valuation of Goodman by the market.
Notwithstanding this, the Board notes that using the Group’s statutory profit instead of operating profit as the basis for the earnings hurdle under the LTIP would have had no impact on the future vesting of those performance rights that were tested at June 2021. It would, however, have materially increased the volatility of the Group’s earnings.
Use of Phantoms
In certain jurisdictions, it is impractical to issue performance rights which vest into Goodman securities. In these instances, ‘Phantom’ performance rights are issued, with the same economic outcome, but with the intent to be cash settled on vesting. From time to time, the Group may issue new securities into the market to fund the settlement of those rights. This results in the same outcome to Securityholders as if the Phantoms had been settled in Goodman securities because it results in the situation where the dilutionary impact to operating EPS is consistent with the equity settled performance rights. As in recent years, the Board’s current intention is to issue securities to fund the cash requirements to settle the Phantoms. This results in the effective funding of the LTIP having no cash impact for the Group and as a consequence the share based payments expense remains effectively a non-cash item in the context of the definition of operating profit.
3.8.6 Operating EPS hurdles for proposed ten year plan awards to the Group CEO, executive KMP and other senior executives
The operating EPS target range under the ten year plan 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 for FY22 of growing operating EPS from the FY21 result of 65.6 cents to between 82.8 cents (Threshold level) and 96.0 cents (Upper level) in FY25. 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 10% CAGR in operating EPS or approximately 26% to 46% cumulative over the four year testing period. Notwithstanding Goodman achieved operating EPS growth in excess of 10% in FY20 and FY21 performance at the upper level is considered significantly challenging over four years and in the Board’s view is likely to be achieved only after exceptional performance.
47
Goodman Group
Directors’ report
Remuneration report – audited (continued)
The range has been set with particular reference to:
-
- A significant proportion of the Group’s revenue over the next four years, particularly in regard to development activities, is at risk and uncontracted
-
- The range of potential real estate opportunities for the Group globally, given the Group’s risk parameters and concentrated locations
-
- The long-run historical performance of the Group, noting that previous history is not a reflection of future earnings
-
- The global economic environment, noting the uncertainty around ongoing impacts of COVID-19 on global economies, that the current rate of inflation in Australia and the major markets in which Goodman operates globally is around 0% to 1.5% per annum and the current ten year rate of interest on government securities in Australia and most major markets is <1.5% per annum.
The Board believes the higher FY22 hurdle is significantly more challenging given the current economic environment particularly given the extension of the testing period (and independently verified through the lower economic value of performance rights under the new plan). The hurdles are 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 earnings and in the Board’s view this risk has increased given the ongoing and unknown impacts of COVID-19.
The hurdles are set with the desire to achieve a sustainable long-term growth rate that is competitive with the market on a risk adjusted basis, reflecting the low financial leverage of Goodman and other risk settings particularly given the continued impact of the current global pandemic and economic environment. In the Board’s view, increasing hurdles to unsustainable levels would encourage riskier behaviour, inconsistent with an acceptable risk tolerance and framework and expectations of Securityholders. This could potentially lead to lower quality earnings and adversely affect the intent of the LTIP and ultimately Securityholder returns.

4. GROUP PERFORMANCE AND OUTCOMES
Despite the significant headwinds caused by the global pandemic, the Group has recorded another year of material outperformance, both relative to its external targets and its internal operational targets. Goodman’s security price performance in FY21 continued to be significantly ahead of its peer groups, following ten years of outperformance.
The Group’s remuneration strategy focused on long-term outcomes is the key driver of this sustained performance.

Goodman Group
Directors’ report
Remuneration report – audited (continued)
Over the past decade, the Group has established teams with significant specialist expertise, financial resources, and a strategic real estate portfolio. It has deliberately positioned its business to maximise cash flow resilience in varying market cycles, primarily through:
-
- Concentration of the portfolio on logistics real estate in urban infill markets, where supply is limited, and demand is driven by consumers
-
- Deleveraging the Group’s balance sheet and retaining significant liquidity
-
- Partnering with long-term capital to share risk and return over a significant globally diversified platform.
This has included specific actions over successive years, including:
-
- Significant reduction in financial leverage (gearing) over the last twelve years from 47.9% to 6.8% and maintained low leverage in the past few years
-
- Increased quality of the property portfolio through over $27 billion of asset sales since 2013 concentrating the portfolio in predominantly urban infill markets and providing funding for the development of new buildings
-
- Established an international platform with significant depth of experience required to generate excess returns in competitive high barrier to entry markets
-
- Diversification of the Group’s sources of debt and tenor
-
- Reduced operational risk through undertaking more development activity in Partnerships, which has reduced volatility of earnings while increasing return on assets for the Group. The impact of increased development within the Partnerships has increased their returns and the prospects for Goodman to earn performance fees in the medium to longer term
-
- Significant sales of assets that were reconfigured for higher and better residential use. For 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
-
- Maintained a conservative distribution pay-out ratio to retain funding for growing development activity.
Many of these strategic initiatives rely on foregoing some short-term returns to secure potentially larger long-term sustainable returns.
The resilience of the Group through this period is largely due to strategic long-term thinking, a highly talented team with specialist skills, and incentivising those employees through equity, linked to sustained operational performance over a long period.

Annual Report 2021
The key financial metrics which are aligned with the Group’s strategy, long-term performance and STI and LTI programs for all employees are operating EPS and relative TSR. CAGR in operating EPS over the past five years has been exceptional at 10.3%, which has exceeded the forecasts and therefore the hurdles. This has been achieved while at the same time reducing gearing, and not utilising the short-term benefits of low interest rates to financially engineer performance.

4.4 Remuneration outcomes for FY21
4.4.1 STI outcomes
The Board has again agreed with the Group CEO that he will not participate in the STI award. In line with continued focus on sustained long-term performance, all performance based remuneration relating to the Group CEO’s FY21 performance will be awarded in the form of performance rights.
Given the global nature of the Group’s operations the recommendations for each executive KMP are based on the Remuneration Committee’s review of several sources of market information relating to the individual’s role, region and global comparisons and specific incentive schemes that apply in competitor organisations.
Executive KMP STI outcomes (excluding the Group CEO), on average, are consistent with FY20 and down 27% over the past two years, (averaging 66% of the maximum potential versus 64% in FY20). This reflects the Board’s decision to focus reward in the form of LTI, particularly for the KMP whose roles have greater focus on overall Group strategy. The table below indicates the maximum possible STI and the actual STI awarded for FY21.
It should be noted that based on the Group and individual performances in FY21, KMP were eligible for the maximum STI.

4.4.3 LTI outcomes
Testing as at 30 June 2021 was completed for the grants of performance rights made to executive KMP in respect of executive KMP performance in FY18 (called FY19 awards). These performance rights were tested over three years and vest in three equal tranches shortly after the third, fourth and fifth anniversary of the grant. The FY19 awards had two hurdles: operating EPS and a relative TSR, both measured over the three years ended 30 June 2021.
The mechanics of the testing are detailed in section 3.8.
4.4.3.1 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 2021 was 40.5%, compared to a cumulative target of 27.4%.

4.4.3.2 Relative TSR hurdle (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 on a sliding scale:
-
0% vests up to and including the 50th percentile
-
Vesting of 50% starts at the 51st percentile on a sliding scale with 100% vesting at the 75th percentile.
Goodman posted a three year TSR of 128.9% to 30 June 2021, under the LTIP TSR calculation methodology. This ranked Goodman in the 92nd percentile against the S&P/ASX 100 and consequently 100% of these performance rights vested.
| GMG TSR1 | S&P/ASX 10 TSR1 | Percentile | Outcome | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| FY18 LTIP | grant | – | TSR | hurdle1 128.9% |
37.5% | 92nd | 100% |
1 Testing period for grant: 1 July 2018 to 30 June 2021, in accordance with the LTIP the TSR is based on the 10 day VWAP at beginning and end of testing period and is therefore different from the three year TSR sourced from Bloomberg and presented elsewhere in this report.
As a result of satisfying 100% of the EPS hurdle and the relative TSR hurdle, a total of 16,012,338 equity settled performance rights will vest in September 2021, September 2022 and September 2023. In addition, 3,875,750 cash settled performance rights will also vest. The Group may elect to issue the equivalent number of new securities to satisfy those obligations in the future.

==> picture [517 x 540] intentionally omitted <==
----- Start of picture text -----
Greg Goodman

years and 235.9% over five years
+ Delivered:
– Revaluation growth across the Group and Partnership of $5.8 billion
– Statutory profit of $2,311.9 million (up 54%), driven by growth in property values as a result of asset

+ Drove a clearly defined capital management strategy with financial leverage 6.8% and maintained a strong
Group balance sheet with $1.9 billion of liquidity
+ Integrated strong risk management approaches globally.
Environment + Instrumental in significantly increasing the focus on ESG initiatives and programs throughout the Group and
a culture which continually looks to improve Goodman’s impact on the world. In particular:
– Establishing a zero carbon emissions target for the Group by 2025 and achieving it in FY21
– Increasing the 2025 target for solar PV capacity installed on the rooftops of Goodman’s global portfolios
and installed almost 80MW in FY21
– Completing compliance with TCFD in FY21
+ Established a framework for measuring and assessing embodied carbon to transition to carbon
neutral developments
+ Implemented an EV incentive scheme for staff globally to encourage a shift towards lower emissions vehicles.
Social and culture + Led the shift for all employees to increase alignment with Securityholders through the LTIP as the preferred form
of remuneration by taking 100% of performance based remuneration in performance rights and working with the
Board to implement the new ten year plan.
+ Commenced new initiatives and Goodman Foundation commitments to enable it to meet its $50 million 2030
social impact target. The Group CEO led initiatives that:
– Contributed $6.3 million to community and philanthropic causes including $400,000 raised directly by staff.
Expansion of Goodman’s supply chain ethics towards a global supplier Code of Conduct increasing the
focus on human rights and potential modern slavery.
– Enabled the Goodman team globally to contribute 5,360 hours to volunteering and community events
through the year. The Goodman Foundation focuses on children and youth, community and its health,
and food rescue and the environment
– Through Goodman’s funding, food rescue partners have provided more than 197 million meals globally
and made significant commitment to domestic violence prevention.

The charts below demonstrate the performance of the Group and various key metrics relative to the Group CEO’s vested remuneration outcomes in FY21 and prior years. They illustrate that the significant operating profit growth, security price growth and consequently returns for Securityholders over the testing periods, correlate with increased Group CEO remuneration over time. Given the strong increase in the market price of securities between the time of the grant and the time of vesting, the Group CEO (and all recipients of the LTIP) has participated in the performance alongside Securityholders.

Importantly, the Group CEO’s vested remuneration as a proportion of TSR (in $ billion) and statutory profit has trended lower over the past five years, indicating that the Securityholders have experienced a more than proportionate benefit from the Group’s performance relative to the Group CEO.

The table below includes awarded remuneration at grant date and the vested remuneration over the past five years for the Group CEO. The numbers in this table differ from the statutory disclosure in section 5 primarily due to the differences in the measurement and timing of recognition in respect of performance rights granted under the LTIP and not the final vesting outcome. 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
-
- Significant growth in the value of LTI from grant date to the vesting date due to the increase in security price (on average an increase of 147% for grants vesting in FY21).

The remuneration awards made by the Board in respect of the executive KMP performance in FY21 comprise fixed remuneration, STI and awards under the LTIP that will be made in September 2021.
The table below lists the maximum number of performance rights which could vest if the highest hurdles are met over the four years ending 30 June 2025. The minimum vesting percentage is 0% if hurdles are not met. The vesting of those performance rights that achieve the performance hurdles (if any) will occur in seven equal tranches in September each year, starting from September 2025 with the last tranche vesting ten years from initial grant in September 2031.
The value of the grants that the Board intends to make in September 2021, in respect of the executive KMP performance in FY21, have been determined using the economic value as detailed in section 3.4

5. NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR REMUNERATION
5.1 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 Board membership and additional fees for membership of committees.
-
The fees consider 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 $2.4 million (2020: $2.2 million).
-
The increase in Non-Executive Director fees compared to the prior financial year was due to the change in composition of the Board and the establishment of a separate Nomination Committee. There were no changes to the Board and committee annual fees in respect of FY21.
-
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.
-
To align the interests of the Board with Securityholders, the Board updated the Directors’ Security Holding Policy in April 2021. The policy requires Non-Executive Directors to accumulate and hold Goodman securities with a value equivalent to their pre-tax annual base fee within three years of appointment, or in the case of the Chairman the pre-tax Chairman’s fee within three years of appointment as Chairman (subject to a transitional year following adoption of the new policy). For the purpose of this policy, the value of each parcel acquired is the higher of the purchase price or market value at the end of the financial year.

Executive KMP are engaged under written employment contracts until notice is given by either Goodman or the executive KMP. Notice periods are for six months except for Gregory Goodman and Danny Peeters for whom the period is 12 months. Danny Peeters provides his services through a management company, DPCON Bvba.
-
Salary and fees represent the amounts due under the terms of executives’ service contracts and include movements in annual leave provisions. 2. Executives’ bonus (STI) awards are paid in two instalments: 50% on finalisation of Goodman’s financial statements and 50% 12 months later. Under Australian Accounting Standards, this means the entire bonus award is considered as a long-term benefit with regard to the disclosure of individual executive’s remuneration. No bonuses were forfeited during the financial year.
-
Other includes reportable fringe benefits, car parking and changes in long service leave provisions.
-
In the prior year, the Board agreed certain tax equalisation arrangements with Anthony Rozic in connection with his employment arrangements in the United States and Australia to ensure that he was no better or worse off. As a result, in FY20 Goodman made additional tax related payments of US$150,005 in respect of the period prior to 1 January 2019. These amounts were on top of Anthony Rozic’s Australian tax obligations for which he remained exclusively responsible. The Board also advanced under an interest free loan, double-tax amounts in respect of the period prior to 1 January 2019 for which Foreign Income Tax Offsets from the Australian Taxation Office will be used to repay the advances.
-
At 1 July 2021 the advances made by Goodman amounted to US$503,729, and as there have been no further advances or repayments during the year ended 30 June 2021, the balance at 30 June 2021 is also US$503,729. The amount of interest that would have been payable if charged on an arm's-length basis during the year is $20,149 (2020: $8,490). The notional interest amount has been included in Anthony Rozic’s statutory remuneration for FY21 (Other remuneration). In the prior year both the additional tax related amount and the notional interest amount were included in Anthony Rozic’s statutory remuneration (Other remuneration).
-
No other executive KMP received a loan from the Group during the current or prior financial years.
-
Performance rights are an LTI and in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards: the values of the awards are determined using option pricing models and amortised in the income statement over the vesting periods.
-
The remuneration of Danny Peeters is disclosed in Euros, the currency in which his base remuneration and STI are determined. The value attributed to his performance rights is translated from Australian dollars at the weighted average rate for the relevant financial year.
-
The remuneration of Anthony Rozic is disclosed in US dollars, the currency in which his base remuneration and STI are determined. The value attributed to his performance rights is translated from Australian dollars at the weighted average rate for the relevant financial year.

Footnotes to the analysis of executive KMP performance rights table:
-
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 $17.94 on 1 September 2020, 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.
6.4 Securities issued on exercise of performance rights
During FY21, Goodman issued 15,438,241 securities as a result of the vesting of performance rights. The amount paid by the employees on exercise of these securities was $nil.
No performance rights have vested since the end of the financial year.
6.5 Unissued securities under performance rights
At the date of this Directors’ report, unissued securities of Goodman under performance rights, i.e. those performance rights that have not yet vested, were:

Goodman Group
Directors’ report
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 2021 have been properly maintained and the financial report for the year ended 30 June 2021 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 Limited or a controlled entity and, in respect of legal costs, for liabilities incurred in defending or resisting civil or criminal proceedings. 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.
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
-
- 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 26 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 67 and forms part of this Directors’ report for the financial year.
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.
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.
The Directors’ report is made in accordance with a resolution of the Directors.

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 sections to which they relate.
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:
-
- Investment properties
-
- Derivative financial instruments
-
- Investments in unlisted securities
-
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.
Foreign currency translation
Functional and presentation currency
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 12 August 2021.
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.
As permitted by the relief provided in ASIC Instrument 20-0568, 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.
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 the income statement.
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 the income statement. 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.

Changes in accounting policies
The AASB has issued new or amendments to standards that are first effective from 1 July 2020 but none of these have a material impact on the Group’s financial statements.
Australian Accounting Standards issued but not yet effective
The Group has not applied any new or amended standard that is not yet effective but available for early application in the current accounting period. None of the new or amended accounting standards are expected to have a significant impact on the future results of the Group.
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.
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 14 – Goodwill and intangible assets
-
- Note 18 – 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)
-
- 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
-
- Note 18 – Financial risk management.

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
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 management services relates to investment management base fees and property services fees and is recognised and invoiced progressively as the services are provided. Customers make payments usually either monthly or quarterly in arrears.
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 towards 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 or it relates to a combination of inextricable management and 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.

Annual Report 2021
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 can be up to 24 months 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.
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 period can be up to 24 months for larger, more complex projects.
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 retirement schemes
The net obligation in respect of defined benefit retirement schemes 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 retirement schemes are recognised in the income statement.

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.

Goodman Limited
Under Australian Accounting Standards, the issued units of the Trust and the CDIs over the shares of GLHK are presented as non-controlling interests. As a consequence, the Directors are required to present a profit per share and a diluted profit per share based on Goodman Limited’s consolidated result after tax but excluding the results attributable to the Trust and GLHK.

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.
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).
The activities and services undertaken by the operating segments include:
-
- Property investment, through both direct ownership and cornerstone investments in Partnerships
-
- Management activities, both investment and property management
-
- 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 are the property assets, including the investments in Partnerships and trade and other receivables associated with the operating activities, 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.

Annual Report 2021
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 the income statement 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
-
- 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.

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 12 months of the end of the reporting period, in which case they are classified as current assets.
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.
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.
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.
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
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. If 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.
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)
-
- 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.
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.
87
Goodman Group
Notes to the consolidated financial statements
Operating assets and liabilities (continued) 6 Property assets (continued)
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 (including changes in the creditworthiness of a significant customer that may have a material impact on the property valuation), 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
The investment market for industrial, logistics and warehousing properties has been strong during FY21. At 30 June 2021, the Board has been able to assess that all markets in which the Group operated were active and as a consequence no adjustments have been made to the carrying values of the Group’s stabilised investment property portfolios on the basis of internally prepared discounted cash flow valuations.
During the current financial year, the fair values of 59% (2020: 59%) of stabilised investment properties 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 78% (2020: 42%).
For investments in Partnerships, all properties that were stabilised investment properties throughout FY21 were valued by an independent valuer during the year.
Sensitivity analysis
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 note 1). The stabilised investment property valuations at 30 June 2021 are most sensitive to the following inputs:
-
- Capitalisation rates
-
- Market rents
-
- Level of incentives provided to customers
and/or the amount of vacant time on expiry of a lease.
The majority of directly held stabilised investment properties are in Australia and the average capitalisation rate and the range of market rents are summarised in the table below:

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%; although for larger more complex projects that are at an early stage of the development, the profit and risk factor could be up to 25%. 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.

(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.
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 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.

Goodman assessed the receivables balances at 30 June 2021 for expected credit losses (risk of non-payment). The level of provisioning was not significant in the context of the Group’s financial position.
8. Contract balances
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 Group assesses that the income can be reliably measured.
Contract liabilities primarily comprise consideration received in advance of the completion of development contracts and rental guarantees.
The following table provides an analysis of receivables from contracts with customers (excluding rental income receivables), contract assets and contract liabilities at the reporting dates:

Annual Report 2021
Transaction price allocated to the remaining contract obligations
The amount of the transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations under Goodman’s existing contracts was $12.5 million (2020: $14.3 million). This amount represents revenue expected to be recognised in the future from ongoing management and fixed price development contracts with customers. Goodman will recognise the expected revenue in the future as the work is completed, which is expected to be within the next 12 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 AUM, total development project costs or gross property income of Partnerships and are invoiced as the services are provided.
9. Assets held for sale
At 30 June 2021, assets held for sale amounting to $41.5 million comprised an investment property in Australia. In the prior year, the Group together with GEP entered into an agreement with a third party in March 2020 to dispose a portfolio of property assets and the Group’s operating platform in the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia. The disposal was completed on 8 July 2020. At 30 June 2020, the directly held assets and liabilities to be disposed were presented as a disposal group held for sale and comprised the following assets and liabilities within the Continental Europe segment:
| Note | 2020 $M |

| Payables1 | (12.0) | |
| Assets held for sale | 112.5 |
- Excludes $77.7 million payable to fellow controlled entities in Goodman Group as these amounts are eliminated on consolidation.
No impairment losses were recognised in the current and prior year in respect of the disposal group.
10. 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.

- Refer to note 13 for property, plant and equipment held as a lessee.
13. Leases
Goodman leases office buildings, motor vehicles and office equipment. Certain investment properties and developments classified as inventories are also built on land held under leasehold interests.
Goodman recognises a right of use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. The right of use asset is initially measured at cost plus any direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to restore the underlying asset or the site on which it is located, less any lease incentives received.
The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted using the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate. After initial recognition, the lease liability is measured at amortised cost and interest expense is calculated using the effective interest method. The lease liability is remeasured when there is a change in future lease payments arising from a change in an index or rate, or there is a change arising from the reassessment of whether Goodman will be reasonably certain to exercise an extension or termination option.

The right of use assets in respect of office buildings, motor vehicles and office equipment are depreciated using the straightline method over the period of the lease. Right of use assets that meet the definition of investment property are carried at fair value in accordance with note 6(a). Ground leases of development land that are classified as inventories are not depreciated but are assessed at each reporting date for impairments to ensure they are recorded at the lower of cost and net realisable value.

14. 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.
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. A summary of Goodman’s goodwill and intangible assets is set out by below:

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 projected cash flows generated from continuing operations. These cash flows are for a five-year period, with a year five terminal value calculated using a terminal growth rate and an appropriate discount rate for each division.
The key drivers of value in respect of the intangible assets are:
-
- Development cash flows, which are impacted by development volumes and margins and whether the developments are undertaken directly by Goodman or directly by Partnerships or in joint venture with Partnerships
-
- Management cash flows, which are driven by the level of AUM and net property income in Partnerships and, in the case of portfolio performance fee income, the long-term performance of the Partnerships.
The estimation of future cash flows requires assumptions to be made regarding uncertain future events. The cash flows do not assume a downturn in earnings that might arise in the event of a significant adverse change in market conditions for the Group. The cash flows also assume that Goodman’s management contracts with Partnerships have an indefinite life. This is on the basis that in the past these contracts have been typically renewed at minimal cost and on broadly similar financial terms.
When assessing a potential impairment, the value in use is compared against the sum of the intangible asset balance and the plant and equipment balance for each division.

Annual Report 2021
Value in use
The value in use for both Continental Europe and the United Kingdom are consistent with the prior years. The Group’s strategy remains the same with assets focused on core infill locations.
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.
Developments
Demand for modern, well-located industrial product in both Continental Europe and the United Kingdom remains strong. Earnings forecasts for each division include projects which have not yet been contracted.
Continental Europe
The activities will be focused on core markets in western and southern Europe. The average annual development activity over the next five years is expected to be 0.6 million square metres and the estimated cash outflow from Goodman and Partnerships required to fund the assumed development pipeline across the forecast period is A$0.9 billion per annum.
United Kingdom
The activity will continue to be focused on the core markets close to London and along the M1 corridor. In the short term, developments will include a number of sites that have already been acquired. The division’s development activity over the next five years is forecast to be 0.16 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 GUKP required to finance the assumed development pipeline across the forecast period is A$0.42 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 (in some cases, the projections assume future equity investment will be greater than existing commitments); 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.
AUM
For Continental Europe, the average annual increase in AUM of 8.0% (2020: 3.4%) over the forecast period is higher than the prior year forecasts following the disposal of assets in central and eastern Europe in FY21. The projected AUM assumes that most of the development over the forecast period is for Partnerships. For the purpose of the value in use assessments, capitalisation rates are expected to be stable over the period and no portfolio performance revenue is assumed.
For United Kingdom, the significant percentage growth in AUM over the period reflects the fact that GUKP is a relatively new Partnership, with AUM forecast to grow from £0.9 billion to approximately £2.3 billion. GUKP has secured a number of sites that will be developed over the next three years and underpin the projected growth. For the purpose of the forecasts, capitalisation rates are expected to be stable over the period.
Assumptions impacting the terminal year
| Continental Europe | United Kingdom | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Growth rate applied to future cash fows (per annum) | 2021 | 0.4% | 1.5% |
| 2020 | 0.6% | 1.0% | |
| Development in terminal year (million square metres) | 2021 | 0.60 | 0.19 |
| 2020 | 0.60 | 0.19 | |
| Development in terminal year (cost in A$B) | 2021 | 0.92 | 0.36 |
| 2020 | 0.96 | 0.36 |
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 and United Kingdom, the growth rate was based on the consumer price indices. 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’s and GIT’s financing activities, capital structure and management of the financial risks involved.
15. Net finance income/(expense)
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.

17. 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.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements
Capital management (continued)
18. 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 10 years, to allow the Group to manage the proportion of fixed and floating rate debt in accordance with its FRM policy
-
- 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.
(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.
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.
Goodman is able to alter the capital mix by issuing new Goodman debt and equity securities or hybrid securities, by reinstating the distribution reinvestment plan, by adjusting the timing of development and capital expenditure and by 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.

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$72.9 million (2020: A$58.2 million decrease) for Goodman and A$28.6 million (2020: A$22.7 million) 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$72.9 million (2020: A$58.2 million increase) for Goodman and A$28.6 million (2020: A$22.7 million) 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 2021, Goodman and GIT’s fixed and floating interest rate exposure (by principal) based on existing interest bearing liabilities and derivative financial instruments is set out below:

Annual Report 2021
As a result of the fixed rate interest bearing liabilities and derivative financial instruments that existed at 30 June 2021, Goodman and GIT would have the following fixed interest rate exposure (by principal) 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.

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 increased/decreased by A$0.2 million (2020: increased/decreased by A$0.7 million) for Goodman and decreased/increased by A$5.0 million (2020: decreased/increased by A$2.6 million) for GIT.
(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 or potential breaches of financial covenants in its loan arrangements. 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 investment grade credit rating 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)
-
- Formally reviewing the mark to market position of derivative financial instruments by counterparty on a monthly basis.
Master netting off 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$175.2 million (2020: A$294.7 million) and
A$112.9 million (2020: A$291.9 million) of financial assets and financial liabilities in relation to Goodman’s and GIT’s respective derivative financial instruments to be offset.

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:
| Number | of rights | |
|---|---|---|
| 2021 | 2020 | |
| Outstanding at the beginning of the year | 73,987,645 | 79,062,163 |

(b) Share based payments (cont)
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 period from the grant date to the vesting dates. 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.
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
-
- 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.
The model inputs for performance rights, both equity and cash settled, awarded during the current financial year included the following:
| Rights issued on | Rights issued on | |
|---|---|---|
| 19 Nov 2020 | 30 Sep 2020 | |
| Fair value at | 16.07 | 15.77 |
| measurement date ($) | ||
| Security price ($) | 18.68 | 17.49 |
| Exercise price ($) | – | – |
| Expected volatility (%) | 28.08 | 27.21 |
| Rights' expected weighted | 3.8 | 3.9 |
| average life (years) | ||
| Dividend/distribution | 1.61 | 1.67 |
| yield per annum (%) | ||
| Average risk free rate of | 0.21 | 0.25 |
| interest per annum (%) |
The amounts recognised as an expense are set out in note 2. At 30 June 2021, a liability of $158.0 million (2020: $91.0 million) was recognised in relation to cash settled performance rights.
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.

Goodman Group
Independent Auditor’s Report
Valuation of investment properties ($1,851.2m), investments accounted for using the equity method ($10,660.0m) and inventories ($1,427.8m)
Refer to Note 6 to the Financial Report
The key audit matter
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.
Investment properties are held at fair value and inventories are held at the lower of cost and net realisable value. The valuation of property assets are determined using internal methodologies or through the use of external valuation experts.
The valuation of property assets is a key audit matter as they are significant in value (being 83% 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 valuation of property assets include a number of significant assumptions:
-
- Investment properties: - capitalisation rates;
-
discount rates;
-
customer covenant strength;
-
market rental income;
-
weighted average lease expiry and vacancy levels;
-
projections of capital expenditure; and
-
lease incentive costs.
-
- Inventories: - forecast capitalisation rates and market rental income;
-
land value per square metre;
-
letting up periods and lease incentive costs; and
-
development costs.
In assessing this Key Audit Matter, we involved real estate valuation specialists, who understand the Group’s investment profile, business and the economic environment it operates in.
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.
For investment properties, taking into account asset classes, geographies and characteristics of individual investment properties:
-
- Assessing the scope, competence and objectivity of external valuation experts and Goodman Group’s internal valuers;
-
- Challenging significant assumptions, with reference to published industry reports and commentary to gain an understanding of prevailing property market conditions;
-
- With assistance of real estate valuation specialists, assessing a sample of significant assumptions including capitalisation rates, discount rates, customer covenant strength, market rental income, 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; and
-
- Assessing the disclosures in the financial report using our understanding obtained from our testing, against accounting standard requirements.
For inventories:
-
- 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.

Goodman Group
Independent Auditor’s Report
Other Information
Other Information is financial and non-financial information in Goodman Group’s annual reporting which is provided in addition to the Financial Report and the Auditor’s Report. The Directors of the Company and the Directors of the Responsible Entity are responsible for the Other Information.
The Other Information we obtained prior to the date of this Auditor’s Report was the Directors’ Report (including the Remuneration Report). The Chairman’s Letter, Group Chief Executive Officer’s Report, Corporate Responsibility and Sustainability, Corporate Governance and Securities Information are expected to be made available to us after the date of the Auditor's Report.
Our opinion on the Financial Report does not cover the Other Information and, accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion or any form of assurance conclusion thereon, with the exception of the Remuneration Report and our related assurance opinion.
In connection with our audit of the Financial Report, our responsibility is to read the Other Information. In doing so, we consider whether the Other Information is materially inconsistent with the Financial Report or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
We are required to report if we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this Other Information, and based on the work we have performed on the Other Information that we obtained prior to the date of this Auditor’s Report, we have nothing to report.
Responsibilities of the Directors for the Financial Report
The Directors of the Company and the Responsible Entity are responsible for:
-
- 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.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the Financial Report is located at the Auditing and Assurance Standards Board website at:

Annual Report 2021
Performance review
The Consolidated Entity has operations in Asia, Continental Europe and the United Kingdom, and its earnings are derived from property investment, development and management activities.
The Consolidated Entity has been able to adapt to the challenges that FY21 has brought and has continued to grow the business sustainably for the long term.
The global pandemic has accelerated the changes in consumption trends that had already begun across the physical and digital spaces and this has increased demand for warehouse and logistics facilities. This has benefitted the Group’s existing portfolios in FY21, which have reported growth in rental income and maintained high occupancy levels. It has also given the Group confidence to commence a number of new developments, particularly multi-storey and higher intensity buildings within its urban locations, and these developments are providing essential real estate infrastructure for the long-term requirements of those cities and the Group’s customers.
This increase in development activity has been a key driver of the Consolidated Entity’s operating performance for FY21, with operating profit increasing by 28.1% to $499.8 million, compared to $390.3 million for the prior year.
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. It is defined as profit attributable to Shareholders adjusted for property valuations, impairment losses and other non-cash adjustments or non-recurring items.

Property investment activities
Property investment earnings in FY21 of $46.1 million were lower than the prior year and comprised 6% of the total earnings (2020: 8%).

| Weighted average capitalisation rate (%) | 4.9 | 5.2 | |
| Weighted average lease expiry (years) | 3.8 | 4.0 | |
| Occupancy (%) | 98.0 | 96.7 |
Property investment earnings comprise gross property income (excluding straight lining of rental income), less property expenses, plus 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 the Consolidated Entity’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 controlling operating and financing costs within Partnerships.
The Consolidated Entity’s property portfolios are concentrated in large, urban centres where demand from customers has put pressure on land use and availability. As a consequence of the acceleration of consumer purchasing habits to online shopping, the Consolidated Entity has seen increased demand for space from customers in the food, consumer goods and logistics sectors, particularly related to e-commerce operators and those transitioning to online. At the same time, customers have continued to invest in order to improve the efficiency of their supply chains. In addition to storage and movements of goods, data centres have also emerged as a rapidly growing user of industrial property.
The Consolidated Entity’s share of investment earnings from its cornerstone holdings in the Partnerships decreased by 13% to $32.7 million compared to the prior year. The lower earnings in Continental Europe as a result of disposals in FY20 was partly offset by the stabilisation of developments in Asia and the United Kingdom in FY20 and FY21.
During FY21, the Consolidated Entity’s share of property valuations from the stabilised portfolios was $90.2 million. Valuation gains occurred in all regions and whilst the rental income growth and development completions were contributors to these uplifts, the primary driver was capitalisation rate compression. At 30 June 2021, the weighted average capitalisation rate for the Consolidated Entity’s portfolios was 4.9%, compared to 5.2% at the start of FY21.

Business review (continued)
Development activities
In FY21, development earnings were $528.0 million, an increase of 48% on the prior year, and comprised 73% of total operating earnings (2020: 57%).
Development activity continued to be strong with work in progress of $5.8 billion across 37 projects at 30 June 2021. The increase in the Consolidated Entity’s development earnings was primarily volume driven.

| Work in progress (number of developments) | 37 | 21 |
| Developments completed during the year | 18 | 28 |
| (number of developments) |
Development earnings consist of development income, plus the Consolidated Entity’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, plus interest income on loans to development joint ventures, less development expenses. Development income includes development management fees and also performance related revenues associated with managing individual development projects in 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.
Most of the inventory disposals and fixed price contract income arose in Continental Europe, as Goodman Group’s 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 the prior year, most of the development activity in FY21 was undertaken by or for the Partnerships and third parties.
Management activities
Management earnings in FY21 of $146.3 million decreased by 33% compared to the prior year and comprised 20% of total operating earnings (2020: 35%). This was due to lower performance fee revenue recognised in FY21 and the net adverse impact of the translation of the overseas earnings compared to the prior year. The reduction in performance related revenue was the result of the timing of calculation and recognition of fees.

| Key metrics: | 2021 | 2020 |
| Number of Partnerships | 7 | 7 |
| External AUM ($B) | 23.0 | 21.5 |
Management earnings relate to the revenue from managing both 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.
Other items
Operating expenses increased mainly due to remuneration costs as a result of modest inflation pressure and cash incentives paid as a result of the Consolidated Entity’s overall performance. Borrowing costs have fallen as a result of lower interest rates on the Consolidated Entity’s loans. The reduction in tax expense is primarily a function of changes to the origin and nature of revenue arising from management and development activities.

| Net assets attributable to Shareholders | 1,747.7 | 1,394.7 |
The stabilised investment properties relate to new acquisitions in Asia and the United Kingdom.
The carrying value of cornerstone investments in Partnerships has increased by $193.8 million to $1,470.0 million, principally due to the net investment in the Partnerships and the valuation uplifts. A reconciliation of the current year movement in cornerstone investments in Partnerships is detailed in note 6(f) to the consolidated financial statements.
The increase in development holdings by $84.7 million to $1,140.9 million is primarily due to additional expenditure on development projects in Continental Europe, China and the United Kingdom during the year.
Other assets included receivables, fair values of derivative financial instruments that are in an asset position, contract assets, property, plant and equipment and tax assets (including deferred tax). Other liabilities included trade and other payables, the provision for dividends to Shareholders, fair values of derivative financial instruments that are in a liability position, employee benefits and tax liabilities (including deferred tax).

(11.7) 368.2 |
(2.0) 212.7 |
| Cash at the end of the year | 358.4 | 368.2 |
The increase in the net operating cash flows compared to the prior year primarily relates to development activities. During the year, the Consolidated Entity disposed of developments in Continental Europe and the United Kingdom, however, this was partly offset by an increase in development cash outflows, with market conditions remaining strong in all regions.
The net investing cash outflow was due to the net investment in the Consolidated Entity’s Partnerships, to fund acquisitions and new developments, plus the acquisitions of investment properties in Asia and the United Kingdom.
Financing cash flows principally relate to the net repayment of loans to related parties and payment of the dividend in August 2020.
Outlook
The Consolidated Entity has been able to adapt to the changes in the world to enable it to execute its strategy well and be in a strong position to continue to do so.
The Consolidated Entity’s urban infill markets are experiencing significant demand as customers respond to consumer needs. The evolving consumption trends across the physical and digital space are fundamentally impacting the volume and changing the nature of demand from customers. As a consequence, development activity is expected to be a key contributor to the Group’s performance, with the customer demand maintaining the high occupancy levels and the rental income growth across the Consolidated Entity’s portfolios. 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.

Goodman Group
Independent auditor’s report
To the members of Goodman Logistics (HK) Limited (Incorporated in Hong Kong with limited liability)
Opinion
We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Goodman Logistics (HK) Limited (the Company) and its subsidiaries (the Group) set out on pages 148 to 187, which comprise the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2021, 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 2021 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
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.
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 opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
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.
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
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.
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.
146
Annual Report 2021
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.
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.

-
- 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.

Goodman Group
Notes to the consolidated financial statements
(expressed in Australian dollars)
BASIS OF PREPARATION
1. Basis of preparation
(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.
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.
Going concern
As at 30 June 2021, the Consolidated Entity had net current assets of $7.4 million.
Additionally, 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
-
- 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
-
- 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.
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.
On the basis of the above, the consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.
(c) 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.
(d) Foreign currency translation
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.
152
Annual Report 2021
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.
(e) Changes in accounting policies
The AASB has issued new or amendments to standards that are first effective from 1 July 2020 but none of these have a material impact on the Consolidated Entity’s financial statements.
(f) Accounting standards issued but not yet effective
The Consolidated Entity has not applied any new standard or interpretation that is not yet effective for the current accounting period. None of the new accounting standards or interpretations is expected to have a significant impact on the future results of the Consolidated Entity.
(g) 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 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
-
- Note 14 – 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 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)
-
- 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
-
- Note 14 – Financial risk management.

RESULTS FOR THE YEAR
2. Profit before interest and income tax
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 straightline 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. The Consolidated Entity recognises revenue when it transfers control over a product or service to a customer.
Management income
Fee income derived from management services relates to investment management base fees and property services fees and is recognised and invoiced progressively as the services are provided. Customers make payments usually either monthly or quarterly in arrears.
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 towards 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 or it relates to a combination of inextricable management and 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 profit or loss 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 can be up to 24 months for larger and more complex developments.
Performance related development income includes income associated with the returns from individual developments under the Consolidated Entity’s management and performance fee income that relates to development activity. Income in respect of individual developments 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. 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.
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 relevant contracts by reference to costs. The payments may be on completion of the development once legal title has been transferred. The development period can be up to 24 months for larger and more complex developments.

Net (loss)/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 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.
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.
Defined contribution retirement plans
Obligations for contributions to defined contribution retirement plans are recognised as an expense as incurred.
Defined benefit retirement schemes
The net obligation in respect of defined benefit retirement schemes 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 retirement schemes are recognised in the income statement.

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, both through direct ownership and cornerstone investments in Partnerships
-
- Management activities, both investment and property management
-
- 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 noncash items such as fair value adjustments and impairments, corporate expenses and incentive based remuneration. The assets allocated to each operating segment relate to the properties, which also includes the investments in Partnerships, and the trade and other receivables associated with the operating activities, but excludes 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.
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.

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.

OPERATING ASSETS AND LIABILITIES
6. Property assets
(a) Types of property assets
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. 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 12 months of the end of the reporting period, in which case they are classified as current assets.
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.
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 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.
For investment properties under development, the carrying values are reviewed by management at each reporting date to consider whether they reflect their fair values and at completion external valuations are obtained to determine the fair values.
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 consolidated statement of financial position.

(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. If 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
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)
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 (including changes in the creditworthiness of a significant customer that may have a material impact on the property valuation), 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, 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
The investment market for industrial, logistics and warehousing properties has been strong during FY21. At 30 June 2021, the Board has been able to assess that all markets in which the Consolidated Entity operated were active and as a consequence, no adjustments have been made to the carrying values of the Consolidated Entity’s stabilised investment property portfolios on the basis of internally prepared discounted cash flow valuations. The overall weighted average capitalisation rates for the divisional portfolios (including Partnerships) are set out in the table below:
-
- Location of the asset (city, suburb or regional area)
-
- Carrying value of the asset (categorised by likely appeal to private (including syndicates), national and institutional investors)
-
- 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.

Annual Report 2021
Sensitivity analysis
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 note 1(g)). The stabilised investment property valuations are most sensitive to the following inputs:
-
- Capitalisation rates
-
- Market rents
-
- Level of incentives provided to customers and/or the amount of vacant time on expiry of a lease.
The impacts on the Consolidated Entity’s financial position that would arise from the changes in the above assumptions are set out in the table below. This illustrates the impacts on the Consolidated Entity in respect of both the directly held stabilised investment properties and its share of those stabilised investment properties held by Partnerships.

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 the Consolidated Entity’s investments in Partnerships. However, certain Partnerships do obtain independent valuations for investment properties under development each financial year.

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.
Transactions eliminated on consolidation
Unrealised gains arising from asset disposals 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.

- Shareholder loans have been provided by investors of GCLP in proportion to their ownership interest. The shareholder loans are interest free, unsecured and have no fixed terms of repayment. The shareholder loans are not expected to be repaid within 12 months from the end of the reporting period and the Directors consider the loans to form part of the Consolidated Entity’s investment in GCLP.

Annual Report 2021
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 consolidated 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.
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.
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.

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 assets 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.
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.
| 2021 | 2020 | |
|---|---|---|
| Note | $M | $M |
| Current | ||
| Trade receivables | 12.4 | 11.1 |
| Other receivables | 94.0 | 61.8 |

|
| Non-current Loans to related parties 21(c) |
276.2 | 279.0 |
| 276.2 | 279.0 |
The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the fair value of each class of receivable mentioned above. All noncurrent 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.
Trade receivables
No trade receivables were impaired at 30 June 2021 and 2020. There are no significant overdue trade receivables at 30 June 2021.
Other receivables
At 30 June 2021, none of the other receivables balance was overdue or impaired (2020: $nil).
Amounts due from related parties
At 30 June 2021, none of the amounts due from related parties was overdue or impaired (2020: $nil). Amounts due from related parties are typically repayable within 30 days. The amounts due from related parties are unsecured.
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 21(c) for details of loans to related parties. During the year, no impairment losses were recognised on loans to related parties (2020: $nil). The loans to related parties are unsecured.

8. Contract balances
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.
The following table provides an analysis of receivables from contracts with customers (excluding rental income receivables), contract assets and contract liabilities at the reporting dates:

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 $nil (2020: $14.3 million).
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 AUM, total development project costs or gross property income of the Partnerships and are invoiced as the services are provided.

9. Assets held for sale
In the prior year, the Consolidated Entity entered into an agreement with a third party to dispose a portfolio of property assets and the Consolidated Entity’s operating platform in the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia. The disposal was completed on 8 July 2020. At 30 June 2020, the directly held assets and liabilities to be disposed were presented as a disposal group held for sale and comprised the following assets and liabilities within the Continental Europe segment:

No impairment losses were recognised in the current and prior year in respect of the disposal group.
10. Payables
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. Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the consolidated 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 liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.
Other financial liabilities comprise trade payables, other payables and accruals and contract and lease liabilities.

11. Leases
The Consolidated Entity leases office buildings, motor vehicles and office equipment. Certain investment properties and developments classified as inventories are also built on land held under leasehold interests.
The Consolidated Entity recognises a right of use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. The right of use asset is initially measured at cost plus any direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to restore the underlying asset or the site on which it is located, less any lease incentives received.
The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted using the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate. After initial recognition, the lease liability is measured at amortised cost and interest expense is calculated using the effective interest method. The lease liability is remeasured when there is a change in future lease payments arising from a change in an index or rate, or there is a change arising from the reassessment of whether Goodman will be reasonably certain to exercise an extension or termination option.
The right of use assets in respect of office buildings, motor vehicles and office equipment are depreciated using the straight-line method over the period of the lease. Right of use assets that meet the definition of investment property are carried at fair value in accordance with note 6(a). Ground leases of development land that are classified as inventories are not depreciated but are assessed at each reporting date for impairments to ensure they are recorded at the lower of cost and net realisable value.

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 consolidated statement of financial position as a receivable.
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 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.

13. 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.
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.
Investments in unlisted securities
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 other 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.

14. Financial risk management
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
-
- 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.
(a) Market 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 United Kingdom and also loans to related parties in North America. 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.
172
Annual Report 2021
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 cross currency interest rate swaps (CCIRS) and forward exchange contracts (FEC).
As at 30 June 2021, a summary of the derivative financial instruments used to hedge the Consolidated Entity’s exposures arising from its investments in foreign operations is set out below:

Sensitivity analysis
Throughout the financial year, if the Australian dollar had been 5% (2020: 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 $36.7 million (2020: $16.3 million). If the Australian dollar had been 5% (2020: 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 $36.7 million (2020: $16.3 million).

Interest rate risk
Goodman Group adopts a policy that at all times interest rates on between 60% and 100% of the Group’s external borrowings and derivatives (by principal) are hedged for the next 12 months. The Consolidated Entity’s interest rate risk arises from floating interest rates on related party loans (receivable and payable) and from the floating interest rate legs of certain CCIRS. The Consolidated Entity does not hedge its interest rate exposure on related party loans but has entered into interest rate swaps (IRS) to manage certain cash flow risks associated with floating interest rates on its CCIRS.
As at 30 June 2021, the Consolidated Entity’s fixed and floating rate exposure (by principal) arising from its derivative financial instruments is set out below:
| instruments is set out below: | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Impact of derivatives | |||
| CCIRS | IRS | Net position | |
| A$M | A$M | A$M | |
| 30 June 2021 | |||
| Fixed rate liabilities | – | 474.2 | 474.2 |

| Floating rate – receivable | (803.0) | – | (803.0) |
| 4.8 | – | 4.8 |
As a result of the derivative financial instruments that existed at 30 June 2021, the Consolidated Entity would have the following fixed interest rate exposure (by principal) at the end of each of the next five financial years. This assumes all derivative financial instruments mature in accordance with current contractual terms.
| 2021 | 2020 | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fixed interest rate | Weighted average | Fixed interest rate | Weighted average | |
| Number of years | (by principal) | interest rate | (by principal) | interest rate |

| 5 years | 158.1 | (0.31) | 163.2 | (0.31) |
Sensitivity analysis
Based on the Consolidated Entity’s interest bearing borrowings at 30 June 2021, if interest rates on borrowings had been 100 bps per annum (2020: 100 bps per annum) higher/lower, with all other variables held constant, the Consolidated Entity’s profit attributable to Shareholders would have been $10.8 million lower/higher (2020: $11.5 million lower/higher).

(b) Liquidity risk
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 to fund short-term working capital, capital expenditure, investment opportunities and dividends. 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. The contractual maturities of financial liabilities are set out below:
| Carrying | Contractual | Up to 12 | 1 to 2 | 2 to 3 | 3 to 4 | 4 to 5 | More than | |

Notes to the consolidated financial statements
Capital management (continued)

(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 note 7).
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 long-term investment grade credit rating 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 was not determined to be significant and no impairment losses were recognised.
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 off 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 2021 and 2020.
(i) Fair value hierarchy
The table below analyses financial instruments carried at fair value, by valuation method (see note 1(g)):

Annual Report 2021
(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 IRS, CCIRS and FEC.
The fair values of derivatives 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:
| Type | Valuation technique | Signifcant | Inter-relationship between |
|---|---|---|---|

- During the year, the Company issued 15,438,241 (2020: 14,531,241) shares to employees of Goodman Group under the Goodman Group Long Term Incentive Plan (LTIP).
The holders of ordinary shares are entitled to receive dividends as declared from time to time and are entitled to one vote per share at meetings of the Company. All ordinary shares rank equally with regard to the Company’s residual assets.
(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:
| Number of rights | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2021 | 2020 | |
| Outstanding at the beginning of the year | 24,921,436 | 21,300,216 |
| Issued | 5,580,560 | 5,221,335 |
| Transferred from other Goodman Group entities | – | 4,386,501 |
| Vested | (5,952,229) | (5,526,953) |
| Forfeited | (1,815,340) | (459,663) |
| Outstanding at the end of the year | 22,734,427 | 24,921,436 |
| Exercisable at the end of the year | – | – |
178
Annual Report 2021
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 period from the grant date to the vesting dates. 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.
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 earnings per security tranche: these rights were valued as a granted call option, using the standard Black Scholes model with a continuous dividend yield
-
- Relative total shareholder return 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.
The model inputs for performance rights, both equity and cash settled, awarded during the current financial year included the following:
| Rights issued on | Rights issued on | |
|---|---|---|
| 19 Nov 2020 | 30 Sep 2020 | |
| Fair value at measurement date ($) | 16.07 | 15.77 |
| Security price ($) | 18.68 | 17.49 |
| Exercise price ($) | – | – |
| Expected volatility (%) | 28.08 | 27.21 |
| Rights' expected weighted average life (years) | 3.8 | 3.9 |
| Dividend/distribution yield per annum (%) | 1.61 | 1.67 |
| Average risk free rate of interest per annum (%) | 0.21 | 0.25 |
Share based payment expense included in profit or loss was as follows:

20. Investments in subsidiaries
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.
An investment in a subsidiary 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.
The following list contains only the particulars of subsidiaries which principally affected the results, assets or liabilities of the Consolidated Entity. The class of shares held is ordinary unless otherwise stated.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements
Other items (continued) 20 Investments in subsidiaries (continued)
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.
