CHAIRMAN’S LETTER

Stephen Johns Independent Chairman
This year we’ve continued to prove our capabilities in all areas of Goodman’s business.
We have a robust strategy to deliver essential infrastructure for the digital economy with an experienced and passionate team. We seek to realise our vision of making positive change to the environment and communities we operate in.
Throughout the year, we have progressed our sustainability initiatives across all aspects of the Environmental, Social and Governance areas. You will see throughout this report that our focus is on both short-term programs that we can implement and measure today, while establishing long-term strategies that will have an enduring impact on our business – and that of our customers – and stakeholders into the future. This includes the Group’s Long Term Incentive Plan which provides alignment with securityholders and incorporates environmental and sustainability targets in assessing performance for all employees.

Investing in sustainable innovation
Over several years, the Group has been working to expand its innovation strategy. We aim to facilitate and invest in products that provide sustainable solutions to customers across property technology, supply chain, transport, construction and manufacturing. Examples include smart metering, carbon neutral building products, on-site safety management and the use of robotics and electric vehicles to assist with logistics and transportation.
Our investment strategy across these technologies provides the Group with greater access, visibility and insight into the technological trends affecting real estate. Our focus is on evaluating how these can be applied to our own portfolio to improve sustainable outcomes for all.
==> picture [430 x 260] intentionally omitted <==
Sustainability governance
From 1 October, we will be establishing a new Sustainability and Innovation Committee to support the management team, and to enhance the Board’s visibility and efficacy on our ESG initiatives. This Committee will be Chaired by Chris Green with Phil Pryke and newly appointed Directors Hilary Spann and Vanessa Liu as members. Chris, Hilary and Vanessa are all New York-based, actively work in the sustainability and innovation space in their day-to-day businesses, and therefore are expertly positioned for these roles. Phil has experience in the green energy field, is the Chair of the Remuneration Committee and plays an important role in setting and reviewing the aforementioned LTIP targets.
In summary, the Committee will have responsibility in relation to overseeing the Group’s:
-
+[ Sustainability strategy – including reviewing and monitoring performance, assessing material ] drivers and risks, making recommendations, and reporting on performance
-
+[ Innovation strategy – including reviewing innovation and developments that may impact ] the Group’s strategy and assets, and monitoring the performance of investments or potential collaborations.

Board progression
This year we have made significant progress to deliver on our strategy to maintain a diverse Board with the appropriate mix of skills, gender and geographic representation. To this effect we have appointed two US-based Directors.
In April we appointed Hilary Spann, a highly experienced global real estate executive with an extensive background in public and private equity markets, both in the US and globally, with a particular focus on real estate. She is currently a senior executive at NYSE-listed Boston Properties, Inc.
Vanessa Liu was appointed in May. She’s an experienced technology innovator, business leader and digital media entrepreneur. Vanessa is currently Co-Founder and CEO of SaaS technology company Sugarwork, and an Independent Director of ASX-listed artificial intelligence company, Appen Ltd.
Both Hilary’s and Vanessa’s experience and insights are well aligned to our long-term strategy and values, while bringing greater diversity to the Board and helping continue to shape Goodman as a forward-thinking company.

GROUP CEO’S LETTER
==> picture [86 x 86] intentionally omitted <==
Greg Goodman Group CEO
Goodman Group takes a long-term view. As providers of essential infrastructure for the digital economy, we recognise the impact that our business has on the planet and communities that we operate in.
Through our location choices, sustainable building approach, and focus on relationships, we work to make a tangible difference today, and long into the future. We integrate sustainability throughout our business. It’s embedded in our values, our investment strategy and our key performance indicators for executive remuneration.
With $73 billion of assets under management and $13.6 billion of developments in progress around the world, we are one of the largest developers of industrial property globally. This scale comes with enormous responsibility. We acknowledge that our actions today can have significant implications in the future, so we lead by example.
Our properties add value to local communities and the wider economy and we know it’s important that we continue to operate in a responsible and sustainable way. We continue to assess the most material issues for our business and have refined our 2030 sustainability strategy as the roadmap for our wide range of ESG activities.
Our strategy creates a framework to deliver on our sustainability targets that minimise our adverse impacts and maximise positive outcomes for people and planet. It shapes the operation of our core business, and we focus on the areas where we have the greatest control and influence, including the development and management of a global portfolio of sustainable industrial properties.

Goodman Group Sustainability Report 2022
Leadership statements
Through our strategy, Goodman is proactively responding to the global challenges of climate change. We’re taking action now by reducing carbon emissions, using renewable energy and developing greener buildings. We’re also adopting circularity, regenerating infill sites, building more equitable supply chains, and partnering with community groups. You’ll read more about these activities and more throughout this report.
We believe that allocating financial resources and human capital to reduce potential impacts now makes commercial sense over the long term. By integrating sustainability throughout our business, we also achieve our financial goals as our properties and services will be more attractive to customers and investors well into the future.
==> picture [430 x 288] intentionally omitted <==
- Setting science based targets
Reducing our carbon emissions is vital on the path to Net Zero.
Goodman is on track to maintain its carbon neutral status for its global operations for the second consecutive year. We continue to work on decarbonising our development projects, taking into account upfront embodied emissions and designing for efficiency throughout the whole building’s lifecycle.
We are ready to go further. This year we developed science-based targets that will see us significantly reduce our global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2030. We are aiming to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 42% and relative Scope 3 emissions by 50% from an FY21 base year. These targets are approved by the Science Based Targets initiative and are aligned to the Paris Agreement’s objective to keep global warming below 1.5 degrees. Meeting these goals, particularly Scope 3 goals, will require collaboration with our stakeholders including both suppliers and customers.

Goodman Group Sustainability Report 2022
Leadership statements
Increasing our investment in sustainability
Achieving these targets won’t be easy. It will require genuine commitment, and significant investment in time, money and resources. However, we see both a moral and a financial business case for sustainability.
While we’ve been investing in the sustainability space for a number of years, our future commitment has increased to approximately $820 million from $700 million across the Group and Partnerships. This investment will fund our sustainability initiatives to 2025.
While it includes standard programs such as solar installations, LED lighting upgrades, water saving features, carbon reduction and renewable energy, we’re also pushing well beyond these programs. We are investing in technology and innovation that will drive significant long-term change.

Generating our own carbon ofsets
Our first priority is to reduce our carbon emissions. Where we’re unable to reduce our operational and embodied emissions, we purchase carbon offsets. As part of our approach, Goodman has recently made a strategic investment in an integrated carbon credit and regeneration platform – Wyuna Regenerative Agriculture.
Investing alongside Australia’s Clean Energy Finance Corporation, this innovative project responds to multiple UN Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDGs), operating at the intersection of land regeneration, sustainable food production and carbon markets. It’s focused on regenerating large areas of land driving biodiversity value and sustainable red meat production, together with the creation of carbon credits.

Goodman Group Sustainability Report 2022
Leadership statements
Collaborating to reduce carbon in building products
Achieving carbon neutral buildings that require little to no offsets requires low-carbon, innovative building products and close collaboration. That’s why we’re working with material suppliers, industry groups and experts in the field to support the development of materials with lower embodied carbon.
==> picture [430 x 204] intentionally omitted <==
Maximising property efciency
We’re also investing in innovative ways to get more productivity and operational efficiencies out of our buildings for customers. One solution is to invest in PropTech or other specialist technology companies to help them develop and grow. In return, we learn more about the future of these technologies and what they mean for our customers and industry. Examples include drone delivery technology and infrastructure through Skyports, parking management and traffic management systems and smart meters for energy and water.
Another way we help improve the efficiency of buildings is by optimising land use. Goodman’s focus is on infill locations, close to consumers, where we can regenerate existing sites and optimise space by building multi-storey facilities.

Leadership statements
Aligning with our customers’ goals
A growing number of our customers are now on their own sustainability journeys. By providing the sustainable infrastructure they need, we’re helping them achieve their own sustainability goals. Although our sustainability investments are significant, they’re prudent. Our customers increasingly require a minimum standard of sustainability features. For many, we help them go beyond that.
The benefits are twofold. While our actions drive positive customer relationships they make financial sense too – we believe buildings that aren’t sustainable and adaptable, will become obsolete over time.

Generating fnancial sustainability
For a business to be truly sustainable, it needs to be financially sustainable. Goodman’s consistent and prudent financial management provides the resources we need to carry out our sustainability vision. Capital markets endorsed this approach, so we created a Sustainable Finance Framework which provides us with financial flexibility to issue sustainability-linked bonds and loans.
This year, the Group issued a $US500 million sustainability-linked bond. Additionally, several of our Partnerships have entered into sustainability-linked finance instruments. This is just one element of a capital management strategy which sees Goodman with available liquidity of $20.9 billion across the Group and our Partnerships.

Progressing our Reconciliation Action Plan
Goodman recognises the importance of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities in Australia. We also recognise the need for reconciliation and this year we’ve moved through the Reflect stage of our Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP).
We have created economic empowerment through charitable and business opportunities, as well as created cultural learning occasions for our people. We move forward through our RAP process with a strong determination to take action and make a difference.

Supporting workforce wellbeing
This year we continued to play close attention to the health and safety of our own people as well as the workforces of our customers and contractors. Goodman has embraced a flexible work environment that helps retain and attract the best staff globally. This flexibility supports our diverse and inclusive team by improving wellbeing, morale and productivity.
For our customers, we continue to evolve our designs to provide spaces that encourage wellbeing across their own workforce, such as providing more natural light, outdoor fitness equipment, stylish staff amenities and creating more breakout areas. This focus has led to Goodman being the first logistics real estate company in Hong Kong to achieve the WELL Health-Safety Rating from the International WELL Building Institute.

Stepping up the impact of our Foundation
In another challenging year, the Goodman Foundation made a tangible and sustainable difference to the communities we operate in, facilitating $11.6 million in donations. We also extended beyond our established pillars, responding to emergencies including the humanitarian crisis in the Ukraine and the floods in Europe and Eastern Australia.
In addition to the worthy programs we support around the world, we also increased our support of the Australian Indigenous community.

OUR
STRATEGY
Providing essential infrastructure for the digital economy
Urbanisation, globalisation, demographics, digitisation, sustainability and an increased focus on health and wellbeing have all changed the way people live, work and consume. These structural shifts have increased the importance of industrial properties in the global supply chain.
Globally, the logistics and warehousing sectors are now considered essential infrastructure for digital economies, and key to the efficient distribution of products to consumers. As industrial property specialists, Goodman’s long-term strategy is built on supporting our customers to operate in the most productive, sustainable and efficient way possible. We focus on key markets and concentrate our portfolio where we can create the most value for customers and investors.

----- End of picture text -----
Proximity to people
Our properties are located close to consumers, in urban infill locations where barriers to entry are high and supply is limited. Choosing locations close to large consumer populations helps our customers meet rising delivery and service expectations. It also provides greater resilience for customers’ supply chains.
Accessibility
Properties located close to major transport infrastructure, like motorways, ports and airports, enable efficient deliveries and reduce supply chain costs and transport-related emissions for our customers. They also make commuting to work easier for our customers’ workforce.
By positioning our portfolio in these key locations we are fulfilling our customers’ needs for sustainable properties that provide efficiency and faster speed to market. In doing so, we are building a sustainable business for our investors.

As a global industrial property specialist, We aim to be the best at what we do, rather than the biggest. Our properties are strategically located in major consumer markets, providing our customers with faster speed to market and the opportunity to reduce transport costs and related carbon emissions. When considering new locations, our focus is on acquiring urban infill assets or brownfields sites that can be redeveloped into sustainable properties, allowing us to minimise our carbon footprint. With higher density of land use in these locations, our customers are looking to maximise their supply chain efficiency with greater utilisation of automation and increased sustainability features.

PURPOSE

----- Start of picture text -----
Oakdale West Industrial Estate, Sydney, Australia.
----- End of picture text -----
Goodman’s purpose of making space for greatness recognises our stakeholders’ needs and drives us to help them reach their full potential. Here’s how we make space for greatness for each of our stakeholders.
Customers
Our customers come from a wide range of industries including e-commerce, logistics, retail, consumer goods, automotive, pharmaceutical and technology. Regardless of their sector, they all need the right properties in the right locations. Proximity to their end consumer is key: increasing speed to market, and reducing transport costs and related emissions. Our customers are increasingly taking a strategic approach to their infrastructure decisions. They’re boosting their investment in our buildings to maximise both supply chain efficiency and overall capacity as the digital economy grows.
To help our customers make space for greatness, we create sustainable logistics spaces in high-quality locations. Here, the greatest ambitions of our customers can flourish as we give them the space and services they need to reach their goals.
Securityholders and investment partners
At Goodman, we manage the investment portfolio alongside our investment partners – some of the world’s largest pension and sovereign wealth funds. We have a patient and long-term approach to managing capital and focus on growing a sustainable business over time.
This long-term approach guides our decision making. By owning, developing and managing high-quality sustainable properties in key locations, we provide both short-term and long-term benefits for our customers while simultaneously delivering sustainable returns for our Securityholders and investors.
Community partners
We work with local charities and community partners in all our markets to make a positive difference. Whether it’s working with organisations on emergency response, community and community health, children and youth, or food rescue and the environment, the Goodman Foundation provides tangible assistance that translates to real support where it’s needed most.
We make space for greatness in the communities we operate in by taking a multi-year partnership approach with the organisations the Foundation supports. We share our resources, knowledge and experience to make a tangible difference and improve the quality of life, standard of living and health of people in our communities.

Supply chains
We acknowledge that providing a high-quality sustainable offering to our customers is a team effort, requiring relationships built on integrity. Our network of suppliers extends from our general building contractors who we work with closely to build facilities for our customers, to the providers of our office supplies.
In each case, we respect the needs of our suppliers. This ranges from implementing strategies against modern slavery to treating our suppliers as part of our team, keeping them safe and paying them fairly and on time. In return, we expect our suppliers to abide by our high standards and communicate these requirements within their own supply chains.

City living is on the rise. But what we think of as a successful city today – a place with high density office jobs in the centre, housing on the outside, and tourist attractions, amenities, services, and public space throughout – is fast becoming a thing of the past. Those attributes are still important, but there’s something else making way for us to live more sustainably in these environments.
“Digitisation,” says Professor Greg Clark, Group Adviser, Future Cities and New Industries for HSBC, “is revolutionising the way our cities work. Firstly, digitisation is making the systems of our cities more efficient. Transport, buildings, commerce, entertainment – so much more happens in an omni-channel way using digital platforms”.
==> picture [257 x 181] intentionally omitted <==
Greg says that the abundance of jobs in technology-led sectors is a development that allows city dwellers to work in ways that are connected to other parts of the planet. But digitisation is also shaping these individuals’ lives every day. “It’s giving our citizens a new set of choices about how they work, where they live, when they travel and how they consume.”
DIGITISATION IS REVOLUTIONISING THE WAY OUR CITIES WORK
During the industrial period land use in our cities was highly separated. But one of the effects of new, clean energy and buildings is that we’re able to remix cities in ways we couldn’t 100, 200 and 300 years ago.
“We now see it’s perfectly possible,” Greg says, “for clean industries to exist side-by-side with residential areas, schools, hospitals and more.”
Creating efficiency with our land and building use means we’re able to accommodate more people in our cities without the effects of overcrowding. One way to optimise the limited space we do have is to reclaim and re-utilise brownfield locations, or urban sites that have already been developed, and to move them from single static use, to mixed use, plus flexible formats. “Agile land use,” says Greg, “is a very important new ingredient for cities.”

The switch to digital cities
According to Clark, the digital city will be a place “that optimises its space, and also the time of its citizens, by making access and connectivity instant, predictable and seamless.” It will shape cities that, over time, will become cleaner, greener and more compact.
Cities are attracting more people than ever before. Today, 57% of us – a total of 4.4 billion people – live in cities. This percentage is trending upwards. By 2050, the World Bank says almost 70% of us will be city dwellers.
“The shapes and sizes of our cities have actually been changing for some time,” says Clark. “Because we can now do so many things these days online, cities have to switch focus and specialise on things that are best done face-to-face, or, face-to-place.”
==> picture [257 x 213] intentionally omitted <==
==> picture [232 x 221] intentionally omitted <==
It’s true our cities are already starting to feel different. There are more delivery vans in the city during the day, buses and trains are less full than pre-pandemic but are getting fuller, and office buildings can be busy some days but not others. “Cities are in a great adjustment process,” says Clark, “trying to manage the road and the transport system to be able to accommodate the changes in patterns of travel, delivery and distribution.”
Offices too are reinventing themselves as places of creativity and connection, and employees have new expectations of what a safe, healthy and flexible working environment is.
As our cities change around us, if we want to achieve Net Zero, we need to change the behaviours of those living in them. As Clark points out, given our burgeoning urban populations, cities are an essential part of a sustainable future for all. “Without cities and the people in them, and the ability of cities to trigger behaviour changes, and spur new innovations,” Clark says, “we can’t decarbonise the planet.”

Consumers know what they want and today, they want more than ever before. As the retail industry scrambles to reconfigure its offering for the digital era, consumers are raising their expectations. One of the fastest growing expectations is that their next purchase will be a sustainable one.
“The retail sector has undergone seismic structural shifts,” says Natalie Berg, retail analyst, trend forecaster, and founder of retail consultancy, NBK Retail.
Those personal shopping devices (aka: phones) we each have in our pockets, Natalie explains, do more than allow us to be digitally connected when we walk into a physical store. They empower us to shop on our own terms.
“We’re seeing an acceleration in the demise of mediocre retail,” says Natalie. “COVID has exacerbated the many challenges the industry was facing, and retailers are finding that if they weren’t relevant before the pandemic, they’re certainly not relevant now.”
==> picture [214 x 200] intentionally omitted <==
Natalie predicts that in the future, retail will consist of fewer but better-quality stores, and that investing in e-commerce and digital experiences will be crucial to meet customers wherever they are.
WHEN WE THINK ABOUT THE STORE OF THE FUTURE IT HAS TO BE FRICTIONLESS
More than ever before, retailers will need to be agile. The path to purchase is no longer linear and there is a plethora of choice when it comes to how shoppers access retail brands. We’re experiencing a convergence of our online and offline worlds and, according to Natalie, it will soon be hard to know where one world ends and the other begins.
“When we think about the store of the future it has to be frictionless,” says Natalie.
Ironically, delivering that level of experience in a physical store in the 21st century relies heavily on technology. According to Natalie, the challenge for retailers is working out how to do it so they offer customers an experience that is seamless, integrated and holistic.
“Retailers have to give shoppers a compelling reason to ditch their screens and offer a sensory-filled, memorable experience,” she says.

Supporting conscious consumers
Today’s consumers want more from retailers than ever before. But environmentally speaking, they want their impact to be low. The shift to conscious consumerism becoming mainstream means retailers need to consider sustainability in every aspect of their businesses to remain competitive.
Transparency is also part of the picture. There’s significant pressure on retailers to become transparent around their sustainability initiatives. Why? Consumers want assurances that the products and services they’re buying are not damaging to people or the planet. Even one bad experience can be detrimental to a retail brand.
“We’re entering an era where our own values will trump monetary value,” says Natalie. In other words, consumers are looking for more than just a financial exchange for goods or services. Physical stores are quickly becoming representative of an experience; one of community, discovery, curation, human touch and emotional connection.
==> picture [257 x 269] intentionally omitted <==
==> picture [232 x 160] intentionally omitted <==
Behind the scenes, the increased focus on decarbonising distribution chains to support the boom in online purchases means price wars are being replaced by delivery wars. But with more and more delivery vans on our roads, there’s a growing need for delivery that is sustainable as well as fast and reliable.
“Big retailers are recognising that they have a duty to improve the way that they do business,” says Natalie. “And this is only going to continue with pressure coming directly from consumers.”
Overall, consumers might be calling the shots, but innovative retailers are rising to the challenge. Whatever form our future purchases take, it will certainly be a richer experience.

BUILD.
37% of energy-related carbon emissions come from the built environment. It’s a term that, doesn’t just refer to buildings, it’s also the infrastructure that sits around them.
Catriona Brady, Director of Strategy and Development at the World Green Building Council, says there are some estimates that the equivalent of a city the size of Paris is being built every single week. “The raw materials and the energy being used for that is absolutely monumental,” she says.
In contrast, we could have an equally significant impact – this time positive – by rethinking the global approach to building policies and procedures. Large-scale actions like this are vital, Catriona points out, as she emphasises the urgency to both sustainably retrofit existing buildings and to ensure new buildings are not locking in emissions for decades to come.

Currently the way we use our building materials is fairly linear. “We take, we make, we use, and we dispose,” says Catriona. We need to shift to a circular economy to keep value in materials for as long as possible. “Individuals want to have a long life,” she says. “We want our materials to have a long life too.”
37% OF ENERGYRELATED CARBON EMISSIONS COME FROM THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT
Circularity within the built environment means creating a closed loop so that whatever we design, and build can essentially be dismantled – without being contaminated with chemicals. It’s then reused or adapted for use in the future.
There are challenges with implementing a circular economy in any industry, but the scale of our built environment creates additional complexity for the sector.
“We’re calling for new design methods, new construction practices and different materials,” says Catriona. While these added levels of complexity can bring higher upfront financial costs, the biggest challenge is probably the commitment required from stakeholders across every stage of the value chain.

The ongoing life cycle of circular
A building that’s designed to be circular and then gets demolished or sent to landfill is not a circular building. “It has to be about how it’s treated throughout its whole life cycle,” says Catriona. “And that’s a real challenge because it requires engagement from every single person or stakeholder organisation that’s participating in the lifespan of the building.”
We also need to take into account the whole life carbon emissions of an asset, not just the emissions when it’s operational. “We need to change our thinking,” says Catriona. “How can we make sure that the building will have as sustainable an impact as it can on the planet, from beginning to end?”
As complex an endeavour as this might sound, there are changes we can make right now by retrofitting existing buildings. There’s a real business case to be made for creating a lean, clean and green building, and the key ingredient is people. “I think it’s important for us to frame the business case for today in the context of society as it exists right now,” says Catriona. “The business case for a sustainable building now is influenced by the fact that people want to work in a healthy space. They want to know their health is being protected, and that the building has net positive environmental benefits.”
==> picture [214 x 270] intentionally omitted <==
==> picture [232 x 168] intentionally omitted <==
Once the case is made, the concepts of lean, clean and green can be rolled out. “Lean is all about being efficient in your energy use,” she says. “Clean is all about the systems that are being used – making sure they’re as energy efficient as possible, clean in their power requirements and use.” And lastly, “Green is all about the production and consumption of renewable energy. How can we use green technologies as far as possible? How can we innovate and use green renewable energy requirements to generate clean power onsite?”
The good news for the sector is that this type of change is not just good for the planet. Compared to the standard alternative, sustainable buildings represent a more resilient investment too.

RENEW.
If we’re going to meet the targets set out in the Paris Agreement, we need to rethink the way we use and decarbonise the buildings, assets and spaces we already have.
As our cities evolve, our buildings are increasingly becoming multi-purpose, performing different functions at different times of day, or different days of the week. We are also starting to see buildings service dual industries side-by-side.
Urban farming, the practise of cultivating, processing and distributing food in urban areas, is one welcome trend that’s solving multiple sustainability issues in the heart of our cities. It offers extensive partnership opportunities for the industrial property sector.
Sarah Msika, cofounder of Plantation Paris, one of Europe’s largest urban rooftop ecosystems, is passionate about bringing agriculture into the city and reducing the carbon impact of our end produce.
==> picture [214 x 189] intentionally omitted <==
==> picture [275 x 256] intentionally omitted <==
There are many different types of urban agriculture, but Sarah’s approach is to try and use vacant rooftop spaces.
Utilising a 7,000 sqm logistics rooftop, Plantation Paris is a greenhouse and garden project located high above the city of Paris in the 18th arrondissement. It offers a myriad of benefits, including that it creates opportunities to build large-scale farms close to the people who will consume the produce. By partnering with industrial and logistics property developers, the project provides opportunities to access sustainable heat sources. In the case of Plantation Paris, this heat comes from a data centre located directly beneath its greenhouse.
“It’s very important to have the lowest carbon footprint on all the aspects of what we are doing,” says Sarah. “For example, if we want to grow tropical varieties, we need to do it with a secured sustainable source of heat, like our project does with a data centre.”

Plantation Paris produces microgreens and herbs in its greenhouse and 70 different varieties of vegetables and herbs in its permaculture garden. There are also edible flowers, which otherwise travel from the Netherlands. In a few short years the site has been completely transformed. “Urban farming has a very big role to play in biodiversity,” says Msika, who reports seeing many kinds of bees, birds and wildlife in the area. “Which is huge,” she says. “There was no wildlife when we arrived and now, we have a whole wildlife ecosystem, including falcons.”
Today, Plantation Paris supplies tonnes of fresh food all over the city but for Sarah the social impact is more important than the volumes produced. People want to know where their food is coming from and being so close to the city means it can be delivered environmentally. “We won’t be able to sustain the whole city,” says Sarah. “But people can see it’s possible to buy their produce the same day it was harvested.”
A number of Michelin hatted restaurants regularly collaborate with Sarah’s team. They discuss growing options and menu ideas. Some even harvest ingredients themselves on a weekly basis. “Urban agriculture,” says Sarah, “is giving chefs the chance to work directly with farmers, and for the farmers to see the produce grown a few Metro stations away from their kitchens.”
THERE WAS NO WILDLIFE WHEN WE ARRIVED AND NOW, WE HAVE A WHOLE WILDLIFE ECOSYSTEM, INCLUDING FALCONS.
==> picture [232 x 168] intentionally omitted <==
As well as the greenhouse and garden, Plantation Paris has a communal event space with a full view of the sky, an unusual feature for Paris. “It’s important to have a place where you can just go and feel well and our garden is a good place for that,” says Sarah.” This space is where yoga courses, meditation sessions, plant-based cuisine workshops and private events are held: a place where the urban farm becomes a place for daily inspiration.
Urban agriculture is a positive example of the community-led greening of the built environment Catriona say our cities desperately need. “We need whole communities to be green,” she says. “We want them to be physically green, we want to see nature, we want to be able to encourage rewilding the return of biodiversity and ecosystem services.”

A responsible and sustainable strategy
ESG is an integral part of Goodman’s business strategy. We make investment decisions based on strategic long-term thinking and operate with sustainability goals front of mind.
As Goodman has grown to become Australia’s largest listed-property company, our commitment to ESG principles continues to shape our operations.
Our role in providing essential infrastructure for supply chains means we are uniquely positioned to identify and adapt to global trends. As the world begins to work more actively on climate mitigation, Goodman continues to seek and embrace opportunities to become a truly sustainable business. In doing so we’re not only aiming to meet the expectations of our stakeholders, but we’re acting in alignment with our own company values.

Material and ambitious targets
Under our 2030 Sustainability Strategy, Goodman has committed to making change across a range of ESG activities. This includes working towards measurable and ambitious sustainability targets, to help make a tangible and positive difference in the world.
The breadth of our targets means we’re able to embrace the strategic opportunities currently available to those willing to make real change in their organisations and supply chains. It also mitigates against key ESG risks which come with inaction.
Our strategy includes actions that will reduce carbon emissions and increase the use of renewable energy across our portfolio. We’re also very active in our development of greener buildings, an action which not only helps the planet, but leads to healthier work environments with greater amenity for our customers.
People are integral to our strategy too. We’re creating diverse leadership teams, building more equitable supply chains, and partnering with community groups who deliver life changing support in our communities.
We don’t consider this activity ‘additional’ to our day-to-day. Instead, it’s embedded within our core business. We also firmly believe our approach will help deliver sustainable returns and positive outcomes for our stakeholders.

Local teams, global network
Operating across a global network presents both challenges and opportunities for our people. While we’ve set ourselves global sustainability targets, achieving these requires contribution from local teams in each of our markets.
While we have a relatively small global workforce of around 1,000 people, a large number of people have been with the business for many years. Our team is motivated and incentivised to demonstrate our corporate values of determination, innovation, integrity and sustainability. The people at the top of our business aim to lead by example as they demonstrate these values in their behaviours and decision making. Our values are also part of how we assess the performance of our people.

Although our global business allows us to share knowledge and best practice across jurisdictions, it also highlights the disparity between the policies and opportunities across the markets where Goodman operates. Our ambition to use 100% renewable energy is one example of how great this challenge is. In some markets, this commitment is in line with customer expectations and market trends; while in others, availability of renewable energy options makes the transition more difficult.
Regardless of the location however, we’re determined to find pathways to achieve the sustainability targets we’ve set for ourselves. The challenge requires our team to think strategically, collaborate with market leaders and create opportunities to overcome hurdles.

The material issues which shape our sustainability strategy
In 2019, Goodman set its 2030 Sustainability Strategy based on six material ESG priorities. We believed each was not only critical to our business and ESG performance but would also be an area where we could make a tangible and positive impact.
It’s important that these material priorities are dynamic and are reviewed regularly. We start by considering them alongside global sustainability trends to gain an understanding of where and how they interconnect. Next, they’re influenced by our stakeholders, customers and investment partners. Lastly, we factor in the broader economic and social context.
This approach aligns our sustainability strategy with our operational drivers to address shared global challenges.
With the above in mind, we reviewed our material ESG priorities in 2022.
We partnered with leading sustainability advisors BWD Strategic for the review. The process was rigorous and involved a series of interviews with external stakeholders as well as an assessment of the effectiveness and suitability of our strategy. The review also considered how our measurable targets respond to a suite of current and emerging global ESG trends.
The result saw us keep our original six material issues and add two more. The updated list of material ESG issues for Goodman includes:
-
+[ Actively contributing to the Net Zero transition]
-
+[ Owning strategically located properties close to ] consumers in key global markets
-
+[ Developing and adapting innovative, efficient and flexible ] properties with a future focus
-
+[ Demonstrating Goodman’s values and promoting ] diversity, inclusiveness and social equity
-
+[ Investing responsibly with defined governance and ] sustainable capital structures
-
+[ Promoting workplace safety and wellbeing for all]
-
+[ Delivering resilient assets that support human health and ] value natural capital
-
+[ Influencing the sustainability practices of our value chain.]
We consider these priorities to be essential to Goodman’s continued success and have shaped our sustainability strategy accordingly.

Sustainable assets
Our buildings are fundamental to Goodman’s business strategy. Goodman’s developments increasingly include a range of sustainable design features and innovations that improve energy efficiency, water efficiency and the wellbeing of our customers. Sustainability also plays a role in our choice of locations. Our strategy of prioritising properties in urban infill markets that are close to large consumer populations is gaining momentum.
These properties (often re-purposed existing buildings in older industrial precincts) are in high demand. Not only do they present opportunities for our customers to improve efficiency and reduce transport-related emissions and costs, but they can also unlock positive social outcomes. We’ve found that revitalising underused and outdated precincts quickly provides new opportunities for employment and other community benefits.
==> picture [275 x 244] intentionally omitted <==
==> picture [214 x 200] intentionally omitted <==
While sustainable building design is prioritised on every Goodman property, we look well beyond the design itself. We find opportunities to innovate with materials and onsite energy generation, taking a building lifecycle approach. This is helping us transition to carbon neutral developments, and to meet growing market demand for reducing carbon emissions.
As our properties have emerged as essential infrastructure for the storage and movement of goods around the world, we’ve seen automation become a priority for many supply chains. This global trend is impacting the design of our buildings. We are developing buildings that enable our customers to incorporate automation and technology.
Partnerships like this shift the value proposition for well-located and well-designed logistics properties. Often, they result in longer lease periods, which aligns with Goodman’s long-term strategy.

Responding to climate risk
Climate risk presents a real and unfolding challenge to Goodman’s business and properties.
Goodman’s Boards and leadership teams are fully committed to taking pragmatic action to identify, mitigate and respond to this risk, including designing and building properties which are resilient in the face of climate-related disruptions.
This year, Goodman reinforced its support of the Paris Agreement by developing an emissions reduction target, which aligns with the Science Based Targets initiative, to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees. The process was an extension of our 2021 carbon neutral operations achievement and involved an in-depth review of our global carbon emissions and the opportunities to reduce them.

----- End of picture text -----
Our targets consider our Scope 1, Scope 2 and Scope 3 emissions. We look at our design and construction processes and actively engage with our supply chain to encourage the supply of low carbon materials.
For the time being, carbon offsets are part of our transition to a lower carbon business. However, based on conversations we’re having with investors and our supply chain, new technologies will play a greater role in enabling us to achieve our sustainability goals and rely less on offsets.
Our commitments to solar and renewable energy targets remain resolute. They’re an essential piece of our low carbon future and a vital element to reduce global emissions.
Our commitments to solar power are also a very tangible way to make a positive difference. This aligns well with the ambitions of many of our large global customers, who are increasingly setting their own carbon reduction targets.
Engaging our stakeholders
Meeting the needs of our stakeholders is paramount to Goodman’s ongoing success. Regular engagement with our stakeholders and nurturing of long-term relationships helps us understand their priorities and anticipate their needs. This way we can better support their ambitions and deliver sustainable returns for our investors.
We prioritise to the effective disclosure of our ESG performance to our stakeholders. These include our customers, investors and securityholders, our employees, suppliers and local communities.
We disclose through multiple channels and provide regular updates via Goodman’s website, our Sustainability and Annual Reports, and the ESG reporting benchmarks we work towards.

Our customers
Goodman has a diverse range of global and local customers within the ecommerce, logistics, retail, consumer goods, automotive, pharmaceutical and technology industries. Our business is focused on their current and future needs.
We work with our customers to gain a deep understanding of their real estate needs. We also look for where our sustainability goals align. This provides new and ongoing opportunities to collaborate.
Most of our top 10 global customers have set significant carbon emissions reduction targets and renewable energy commitments. As a result, they’re increasingly looking for partners who can help them take action and make significant progress towards their targets.
We’re gaining momentum too, when it comes to the quality and number of conversations we’re having with our customers about aligned sustainability goals. These discussions usually centre around the future of green buildings and focus on opportunities, such as onsite power generation, where we can innovate to fast-track our shared and individual goals.

- Long term investment partners
Through our managed Partnerships, Goodman has developed longstanding relationships with several of the world’s largest and leading pension and sovereign wealth groups.
Engagement with our investment partners about our ESG strategy has increased this year, as well as become broader and more detailed. Many of our equity partners are increasingly intent on working with companies with clearly articulated ESG strategies. Goodman’s strong ESG approach is integral to their decision to do business with us.
Many of our investment partners operate according to their own dynamic ESG policies. This in turn has an influence on Goodman’s development and management activities. We regularly seek feedback from our investment partners during our investor updates and customer meetings. This feedback helps us to review our material sustainability priorities and impacts of our business.
In the last few years, we’ve increased our use of video conferencing and online communication tools to communicate with a wide group of investors, without the need to travel. We see this as a long-term trend that aligns well with our own sustainability goals.
Finally, we participate in several ESG benchmarks and ratings, including GRESB, MSCI and Sustainalytics. These platforms review the non-financial ESG performance aspects of our operations and provide value to the investment sector.

Goodman’s global team
With a global workforce of more than 1,000 employees and a relatively flat organisational structure, constant engagement and communication across our global teams is vital. It is one of the many ways we remain focused on our strategy, performance, and the direction of our business.
The health and wellbeing of our people remains a significant priority for Goodman. Programs such as the (good) life aim to support our people to find a productive work life balance. We survey our employees periodically. Throughout the COVID period we increased communication as well as online team engagement.
We induct new employees using e-learning modules and one-on-one sessions during their early months at Goodman. Ongoing training is generally delivered online and is available to all Goodman employees.
Half yearly and annual performance reviews help us understand which people are suitable for role progression and a training plan. This allows us to identify succession opportunities, career aspirations and boost diverse leadership.
We prioritise the rewarding and advancing of our people’s careers, on skills development and the provision of challenging work opportunities. We believe our high retention rate is partly due to programs like our long-term employee equity plan which gives our people a stake in the business.

By partnering with likeminded charities and funding projects with clearly defined timelines and outcomes, we’re able to provide real support where it is needed most.
For the broader community, Goodman provides a comprehensive overview and regular updates on its ESG performance. We do this through our website, media releases and social media platforms including LinkedIn, Twitter and Instagram.
We also respond to enquiries through our website and emails to our investor relations team.
The global supply chain
Our supply chain consists of small, medium and large-scale suppliers who we partner with to help deliver our global property development, property management and funds management activities.
We’ve established, extensive supply chain relationships across each of our operating regions. We engage with these partners at every stage, from initial development through to operation and management.
We also actively engage with suppliers and organisations who can help us make progress on our sustainability targets. This work includes engineering organisations and associations such as the Materials and Embodied Carbon Leaders Alliance (MECLA), whose members are driven to reduce embodied carbon in the building and construction industry.

Strategic assets
Extensive engagement with our customers is at the core of our design approach. We look to include emerging technologies so we can better support design priorities.
We view our properties as a strategic part of our customer’s supply chain. Using this lens we take a lifecycle approach with our designs, developing flexible and adaptable properties we know will be in demand in the years to come.
Although we incorporate many sustainable design features as part of our standard designs, we also work closely with customers to see where, together, we can push boundaries.
The long-term relationships we build with our customers are reflected in our high occupancy levels, sustained rental growth and strong level of development activity.

Our commitment to reduce carbon in the development process and provide buildings that generate energy has greatly influenced our design process. The priorities support the broader commitments that Goodman, as well as many of our customers and investment partners, have made towards reducing emissions.
Our environmental targets will be achieved through collaboration and alignment across the entire value chain. We’re pleased that the conversations we’re increasingly having with our stakeholders show that we’re moving in the right direction.
We’re also continuing our transition to carbon neutral buildings. We’ve established processes for calculating embodied emissions consistently across our global operations, and this is now a standard part of our development approach.
Our work to decarbonise our developments by supporting the take up of lower carbon materials is progressing. As part of this commitment, our participation in industry movements such as the Materials and Embodied Carbon Leaders Alliance (MECLA) provides a channel for organisations to work together to reduce embodied carbon emissions in the building and construction industry.

- MULTI STOREY DEVELOPMENT IN SPAIN
As land is becoming scarce in Barcelona the answer for logistics companies is increasingly: ‘go up’. Making use of limited land is vital when the vacancy rate in the Catalan logistics market is very low – less than 2%.
==> picture [516 x 297] intentionally omitted <==
Multi-storey warehouses like the Goodman Castellbisbal Logistics Centre provide a sustainable solution for our Spanish customers. Featuring two units of 13,200 sqm, the multi-storey facility lies at an intersection of the two most important highways in Spain, just 28 km from the centre of Barcelona. This strategic location allows our customers to be close to Barcelona’s 5.5 million consumers[1 ] and maximise last mile operations.
Goodman first introduced multi-storey logistics centres to Spain in 2021. Now Goodman Castellbisbal Logistics Centre is Goodman’s second multi-storey real estate logistics project in the country. Multi-storey facilities are a sophisticated solution to land scarcity and urbanisation challenges. They streamline delivery processes and reduce traffic – benefiting cities and communities. They reduce the distance of the last mile and provide flexibility for our customers.
Goodman has been developing multi-storey facilities globally since 2012. We have now worked on 46 of these properties around the world.

SUSTAINABILITY EXCELLENCE IN ACTION IN MILAN
In East Milan, Goodman’s new Pioltello Logistics Centre has achieved one of the highest BREEAM rating scores for a logistics asset in Italy. The property achieved BREEAM New Construction Excellent certification with an outstanding score of 79.5%.
==> picture [516 x 297] intentionally omitted <==
The 10,000 sqm property is a great example of sustainability applied to logistics real estate. A Life Cycle Analysis provided insight into the overall carbon impact of the building over the long term, and it was designed and developed adhering to the highest sustainability standards.
Achieving the excellence rating from BREEAM required the Pioltello Logistics Centre to rank strongly across nine categories: management, energy, pollution, health and wellbeing, land use and ecology, transport, materials, waste and water.
Water management was the top performer, with a 100/100 score. This is in large part due to its design that minimises flood risks and reuses rainfall.
BREEAM wasn’t the only certification achieved for this property. The building’s energy efficiency features including high performing HVAC also earned the building an A4 energy performance certification – the highest available in Italy.
Features include:
-
+[High-performance insulation]
-
+[LED lighting with motion and daylight sensors]
-
+[470kWp of rooftop solar providing 52MWh per year]
-
+[54 EV charging stations with another 200 ready to be installed when needed.]
As with all our developments, strategic location is key. Pioltello Logistics Centre provides easy access to a large consumer market with 2.5 million people accessible in a 30-minute drive time.[1]

STRATEGIC LOCATION AND SUSTAINABILITY MEET AT FULLERTON
In a former paper factory just 20 miles from the Port of Los Angeles/Long Beach, Goodman Logistics Center Fullerton has both strategic location and environmental credentials in its favour.
==> picture [517 x 297] intentionally omitted <==
This LEED registered, modern facility feels worlds apart from its origins. Today, 13.5 million people live within a one-hour drive of the four-building industrial campus, which reduces delivery times and transport emissions for our customers servicing the local market. There’s another benefit too: Fullerton’s connectivity to the greater Los Angeles areas and direct access to I-91 and other major motorways means 20 million customers fall into its same-day delivery zone.[1]
The brownfield development was built with 95% of recycled materials already on site and incorporates a number of sustainability features such as electric vehicle charging stations, motion detected lighting and a solar ready roofing system.
When it comes to wellbeing, Goodman Logistics Center Fullerton offers various employee amenities encouraging a healthy and active workforce including breakout areas outside with enabled Wi-Fi, and a greenscaped walking trail for midday walks. The site is also close to world-class restaurants, shopping, Disneyland Resort, Downtown Fullerton, Honda Center, Anaheim Convention Center, Angel Stadium and California State University, Fullerton – making it an attractive destination for people to work.

RESPONDING TO CLIMATE RISK
Goodman’s Boards have committed to addressing climate risk at the highest level of the organisation. We work to maintain our understanding of current potential exposure to risks, gauge their impact on the business and identify meaningful mitigation responses.
Redbank Motorway Estate, Brisbane, Australia
Our view of risk goes beyond the direct physical risks to our assets posed by climate change. It also includes transitional risks to our business that relate to shifts in policy, regulatory and disclosure obligations, insurance impacts, and the market broadly.
==> picture [256 x 358] intentionally omitted <==
This year, we finalised our 2030 science-based emission reduction targets, which are considered ambitious and aligned with a 1.5°C pathway.
Our first scenario-based climate-risk assessment aligned with the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) guidelines was completed in 2020 and is reviewed annually. This assessment examined the key physical and transitional risks in our major regions and determined the following to be the most material:
-
+[ Increasing temperatures and heatwaves]
-
+[ Extreme precipitation events]
-
+[ Windstorms (tropical and extra tropical)]
-
+[ Severity of hailstorms]
-
+[ Sea level rise.]
The 2020 assessment process provided Goodman with an effective method of communicating risks and opportunities to our investors. It also led to us setting ambitious targets around reducing emissions, increasing renewable energy, and achieving carbon neutrality.
We continue to evaluate the risks posed by extreme weather events and update our due diligence, design guidelines and property management operations to help mitigate our risks.

CARBON EMISSIONS
Goodman recognises the risk changing climate presents to our business. How we respond to these risks influences how we operate, develop and manage our properties now and in the future. Managing climate risk is incorporated into Goodman’s broader risk management framework and our responses are strategic and based on long-term outcomes.
- Science based approach
During the year, we finalised our science-based emission reduction targets. Using 2021 as our baseline year, our 2030 targets have been validated by the SBTi as being aligned with the UN Paris Agreement’s goal of 1.5°C.
Our science-based target commitments include:
-
+[ 42% reduction in absolute Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions. ] These include Goodman’s electricity, fuel and refrigerant emissions
-
+[ 50% sqm intensity reduction of Scope 3 GHG emissions, including indirect ] emissions generated during the use of our stabilised and sold assets.
Our targets were derived in collaboration with greenhouse gas accounting specialists using the SBTi methodology. As our ability to control our Scope 3 emissions is limited, collaboration with suppliers and customers will be important. We will also need to remain focused on factors like efficient design and the location of our properties, supply of onsite renewable energy, EV infrastructure and our ability to influence our customers’ own emission reduction commitments.

- Sustainability linked fnance
This year Goodman created a Sustainability-Linked Bond Framework (Framework) to outline how Goodman Group will link our financing strategy with our sustainability strategy. The Framework uses Goodman’s science-based targets for our Scope 1 and Scope 2 reduction as performance criteria.
After developing the framework, we issued our first US$500 million of Sustainability-Linked Bonds (SLB) into the Rule 144A / Reg S market with a scheduled maturity of 2032. They reflect the Group’s focus on operating sustainably as well as our commitment to reducing emissions aligned with 1.5°C science-based targets. Failure to meet our targets has a financial consequence under the terms of the SLB.
Maintaining carbon neutral certifcation
We’re on track to maintain our carbon neutral certification for our global corporate operations under the Climate Active Carbon Neutral Standard. We remain focused on reducing our operational emissions through efficiencies and increasing our use of renewable energy.
Our carbon inventory includes Goodman Scope 1 and 2 emissions. It also encompasses Scope 3 emissions from operational activities.
Importantly, the boundary of our carbon neutral certification excludes the embodied emissions from our developments and the emissions of our customers from the spaces they lease from Goodman. However, our solar PV and efficient building designs help support our customers’ Scope 1 and 2 emissions reductions targets.

Carbon neutral developments
Goodman Logistics Center Fontana II, Los Angeles, USA.
Embodied carbon is a key issue for Goodman as building materials and construction account for approximately 11% of global energy-related carbon emissions.
Through our design approach, we reduce our customers’ emissions by including features like solar PV, EV charging stations, energy-efficient LED motion-sensor lights, passive lighting and electric heat pumps.
To tackle the challenge of reducing embodied emissions, we are collaborating with our supply chain partners to encourage lower carbon materials in our building designs.
As part of this work, we recently introduced a process to measure and offset the embodied emissions of our new developments. Our approach uses Life Cycle Assessments (LCA) and helps us create carbon baselines for our developments across each of our regions. These can be used to forecast emissions.
This process to measure embodied emissions enables us to place a value on carbon. It also provides a framework for investing in carbon reductions, including offsets. Over time, we anticipate that the availability of low carbon materials which we can use will increase, further reducing our embodied emissions.
==> picture [299 x 257] intentionally omitted <==
Investing in carbon ofsetting
We realise investing in carbon offsets is necessary to support the world transition to Net Zero. We invest in carbon offsets both to meet Goodman’s Climate Active Carbon Neutral certification, and as part of our transition to carbon neutral developments.
This year we refined our process and criteria for purchasing carbon offsets. This will help mitigate risks and help us procure quality offsets.
We prefer nature-based projects and if feasible, projects occurring in the regions where Goodman operates. We partner with leading carbon offset suppliers to procure offsets which meet our high standards. These suppliers provide additional due diligence on carbon offset projects and guidance on the additional social and biodiversity benefits of different projects.

RENEWABLE
ENERGY
==> picture [564 x 212] intentionally omitted <==
We are reducing emissions across our business by decreasing energy demand in our buildings and transitioning towards renewable energy sources. This includes energy which we generate ourselves through our solar PV installations and electricity we purchase.
At Goodman it’s now standard practice to incorporate sustainability into our developments at the design stage. We continue to increase our knowledge and awareness of new products and technologies so that we can develop cutting edge energy efficient buildings.
Some examples of our approach include the use of carbon neutral cladding and insulation in the UK, efficient heat pumps for heating in Continental Europe, and deploying building management systems in our properties around the world (see Sustainable design section above for more information).
We also enhance the operational energy efficiency of our stabilised assets and invest in upgrades to keep improving. These opportunities include energy-efficient LED motion-sensor lights, and electric heat pumps and energy monitoring systems.
==> picture [127 x 189] intentionally omitted <==
==> picture [126 x 185] intentionally omitted <==
Generating clean energy
To help our customers reduce their emissions and to reduce the demand on electricity grids, we continue to build our own capacity to generate clean energy. This year, in collaboration with our customers, we installed and committed to 78MW of new solar PV capacity on both our developments and stabilised assets. This takes us up to 203MW of solar PV installed globally; on track to meet our 400MW target by 2025.
Shifting to renewable energy
Where our properties cannot generate enough energy to cover their consumption, we are increasingly looking to source 100% renewable electricity from accredited suppliers. Around 65% of Goodman’s global electricity consumption (in Goodman’s controlled areas) is generated from renewable energy sources and we remain on track to meet our 100% renewable energy target by 2025.

BROWNFIELD DEVELOPMENTS
Repurposing adaptive properties
More than 50% of our global development program occurs on brownfield sites. These are previously developed properties that are no longer in use or out of date and require regeneration or remediation by specialists like Goodman.
Brownfield sites are integral to Goodman’s sustainability strategy and support Goodman’s commitment to circularity by reducing, recycling and reusing existing resources for as long as possible. Brownfield developments offer Goodman opportunities to use our expertise to regenerate existing sites, reuse finite materials and reduce waste, improve natural habitats and enhance biodiversity, and reduce our construction emissions while providing logistics facilities in strategic locations.
By replacing or repurposing outdated buildings found on brownfield sites, we can improve the quality and performance of existing building stock without requiring additional land. In a world with a growing population, urbanisation and land scarcity, this is particularly important.
Brownfield sites are close to transport infrastructure and large populations, providing our customers with opportunities to find efficiencies within their logistics operations. Transforming these industrial areas into modern, efficient and sustainable commercial precincts also unlocks additional labour benefits for our customers, as brownfield sites are often close to a large workforce.
The social value we add serves local communities too. Our new industrial precincts often include cafes and fitness and recreation facilities. Goodman developments such as Goodman Business Park Chiba, in Greater Tokyo Japan, and Highbrook Business Park in Auckland, New Zealand are recent examples.

As we target a 5 Green Star Built rating, our company-wide commitment to circularity is paying off. Around 96% of demolition material from Roma Road was diverted from landfill. We recycled steel framing and roofing, large volumes of concrete and masonry were crushed onsite and retained for construction base, and local stone masons used the volcanic rock we uncovered.
All four new warehouses will use sustainably sourced materials where possible and energy-efficiency will feature prominently. Customers will have LED lighting, EV charging systems, and low emission refrigerants for HVAC.
Roofs have a role too. They’ll generate solar energy and harvest 80,000 litres of rainwater. An urban ngahere (forest) will be planted where native plants will replace exotics, attracting birds and enriching the environment for the workforce.
NZ Post will anchor the new development. The last mile location will mean fewer trucks and lower transport emissions for its increasing number of deliveries as e-commerce grows in New Zealand.

– DESIGNING CIRCULARITY INTO DECONSTRUCTION - - REUSING MATERIALS AT TREMBLAY EN FRANCE
At Tremblay-en-France, 30km from the centre of Paris, Goodman was able to reuse, recover or recycle 99.1% of waste from the old buildings on this brownfield site.
==> picture [516 x 290] intentionally omitted <==
Approximately 44 tons of materials, including partition walls, fire doors and raised floors were re-used locally – within an average of 60km from the site. We also recycled 7,900 tons of materials like glass, carpet, ceramics, plaster and steel.
In the extensive pre-deconstruction stage, which included cleaning, sorting and on-site repairs, specialist local SMEs and circular economy start-ups helped identify the right channel for each resource. At one stage, 16 types of waste were stored across the Tremblay-en-France property.
The deconstruction process required specific methods, tools and machinery. It also required more people on site – a 20% increase over the standard demolition workforce. We worked closely with our contractors to train their people in the new techniques.
Learnings from Tremblay-en-France will be employed across future Goodman projects.

REVITALISING OUR PORTFOLIO
Not all brownfield developments are newly acquired. Our practice of buying strategically located sites means we already own some older sites ripe for redevelopment. This is particularly the case in Australia, where we’ve operated for almost 30 years.
==> picture [516 x 290] intentionally omitted <==
One example is in the Sydney suburb of Smithfield, just 24 km from the CBD. Easy access to Sydney’s motorway network meant customers had long coveted the strategic location of the old Smithfield Distribution Centre, but the property had reached the end of its economic life.
This year we completed the transformation of this outdated warehouse into a flexible, modern multi-unit estate. Now, Gateway@Smithfield houses eight customer units across two buildings, providing 46,455 sqm GLA.
As part of our sustainability commitment, we installed 1.14MW of solar for the new development. We also included provisions for EV charging on 10% of the car spaces and LED lighting with daylight harvesting capabilities in all warehouse spaces, 10% translucent roof sheeting and 5kL rainwater collection tanks.
Brownfield redevelopments are complex, and Smithfield was no exception. The timing of the regeneration project meant that strict lockdowns were in place during some of the process, while the team also had to contend with sustainably managing contaminated materials during the demolition and building process.
The site is now fully leased to a range of customers who appreciate the easy access and proximity to 4.5 million consumers within a 60-minute drive time[1] .

Using circularity to support biodiversity
Nature provides many of the essential resources we rely on to survive. Yet, global biodiversity and the health of ecosystems are under threat. Scarcity of resources and demand for more materials are creating the need for businesses to challenge themselves to respond to these threats. We can design for circularity by identifying new strategies to operate more efficiently, design out waste through reuse and recycling, and where possible use fewer resources. In this light, circularity can help reduce biodiversity loss.
Circularity, or the circular economy approach, is a blueprint for action, and it’s gaining traction. Consumers, investors, companies and governments are recognising the importance of circularity and how it can be used to respond to global challenges like climate change, reducing pollution and declining biodiversity.
Goodman has a responsibility to do what it can to preserve and improve biodiversity across its global operations. Our ambition is to deliver resilient assets that support human health and value natural capital, and our customers and investment partners are looking to us to lead on these efforts. We are certain that disclosure of natural capital and biodiversity management will increase, highlighted by the global launch of the Taskforce for Nature-Related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) framework.
Our preference for re-developing brownfield sites, and when needed, rehabilitating contaminated industrial environments, supports the circularity approach. It offers Goodman the opportunity to enhance the local environment and improve biodiversity as well as make other positive improvements. This work is underway. We’ve already begun establishing urban forests, linking wildlife corridors, installing gardens with beehives and expanding conservation areas at our sites.

BIODIVERSITY KEY TO BEDFORD COMMERCIAL PARK
Set in a landscaped park environment, Bedford Commercial Park will offer green open spaces and attractive surroundings for our customers and their employees to enjoy.
==> picture [516 x 291] intentionally omitted <==
The Park includes a network of landscaped ponds, designed to support local wildlife and protect natural habitats. The Park is complemented by a community orchard, extensive woodland planting, and a series of pedestrian footpaths and cycle routes which link the Park with its natural surroundings. It will also be the home to a future canal link between Bedford and Milton Keynes.
Since we completed Phase 1 in 2019, we’ve worked with the local charitable trust, the Forest of Marston Vale, to increase tree canopy cover in the area by 30%. More than 950 native trees have been planted across the Park, with Goodman people also volunteering their time to help.
Once complete, Bedford Commercial Park will include four acres of ponds and close to seven acres of new and existing woodland.

IMPROVING BIODIVERSITY BY SUPPORTING BEES
Bees help support biodiversity across the globe. Without them, many ecosystems would cease to exist. But today’s global bee populations face a multitude of threats, including habitat destruction, disease and the use of agricultural chemicals.
==> picture [516 x 291] intentionally omitted <==
To help, Goodman is colonising wild bees by planting wildflower meadows with nesting sites on the grounds at some of our German properties in Pforzheim, Nuremberg, Stuttgart and Hamburg. The project, supported by bee experts and beekeepers at Pforzheim III Logistics Centre in Germany, will help these threatened species as we improve biodiversity in the area. It will also provide wellbeing benefits to the local workforce, as they will be able to enjoy the improved natural surroundings.
Another way we support biodiversity is through the 100-plus beehives now installed across our European sites. In Germany, our honeybees produced almost 600 kilograms of honey this year. Some of it came from the beehives located at our logistics sites in Nuremberg, Eppertshausen, Leipzig and Pforzheim, where our customers are partnering with us to support the bees.

INNOVATIONS AND SUSTAINABILITY IN OUR LANDSCAPING
Preserving and maintaining our natural assets is important to Goodman. Innovation – both in technology and in our thinking – has helped us make big leaps in sustainable landscaping practices in Australia.
==> picture [430 x 180] intentionally omitted <==
Through pilot projects, collaboration with suppliers and trials of new technologies, we have been able to reorient our landscaping operations with sustainability front of mind.
- Technology led solutions to reduce water waste
Last year we installed 384 potable water meter devices – at least one on each Australian property. These meters track the 1,468 megalitres of water used across our portfolio every year. Their real time data helps customers understand their water usage and identify leaks or wastage so that they can be repaired well before a bill arrives.
We also deployed smart irrigation across Goodman’s Australian portfolio. This technology-led solution is so smart that individual garden beds can be remotely controlled, reducing water use at some properties by 54%.
Making our landscaping practices more sustainable
We used new technology to reduce the chemicals used to tackle weeds. After comparing various low-toxic weed control options, we trialled new equipment combining saturated steam and boiling water. This solution helps nurture soil and use less of the chemical Glyphosate. We are working closely with the manufacturer to make it more portable so we can use it more widely.
From December 2022 all our landscaping contractors will need to use lithium battery-powered blowers, hedge trimmers and other handheld landscaping equipment. These are lighter, quieter and easier to handle than combustion options – and don’t rely on fossil fuels for power.
A sustainable approach to trees
There are 21,000 trees across the Australian portfolio. We have a maintenance plan in place which helps maintain optimum health and longevity. Soon, when our trees are trimmed, the branches will be broken down into mulch, soil or compost and then reused. A green waste recycling pilot project on several Goodman properties in Sydney processed an estimated 500 cubic metres of green waste in just six months. This project will soon roll out nationally.

To support and retain our people and attract new talent, we foster a diverse and inclusive culture. Our people participate in the Group’s long term incentive scheme, in part to build collective responsibility, and to align with the interests of our stakeholders.
Goodman actively supports a strong culture in many ways. To keep our people healthy, connected and motivated, we provide regionally specific online and interactive health and wellbeing initiatives. These initiatives have become even more important during the pandemic. Incorporating health and wellbeing features into our properties for our customers is also a focus. These include facilities like recreational and fitness facilities, break-out spaces and garden areas.
We focus on our safety standards and monitoring to prioritise the safety of each team member and contractor. And we are seeking to protect human rights by mitigating the risk of modern slavery in our global supply chains, and continuously improving our business ethics and processes.

SUPPORTING OUR PEOPLE
Our wellbeing offering evolved during the year to respond to the ongoing nature of the pandemic. Our people in some regions took part in anonymous mental health surveys with the results helping our managers better understand the indicators of mental health in our people, and how to support their team members across the globe.
We encouraged our managers to have more regular check-ins with their team members to better support them throughout the pandemic and beyond. We continued to provide counselling for our people and their families, as well as tailored online educational support on a range of health and wellbeing issues. In some regions these programs were run by an expert external provider.
Goodman continues to offer flexibility and remote working. We are strong supporters of flexible work and the benefits it brings. Plus, our people like the flexibility and we want to support them in this. Now, our people typically work in a hybrid arrangement depending on their commitments. Both options have benefits for our people, customers, relationships and our culture.

Developing leadership
Building an inclusive workplace at Goodman starts with our leaders. They lead by example when creating the culture of our business.
In Continental Europe, our management and reporting structure continue to evolve to strongly encourage teamwork. In Australia, we facilitated leadership workshops that focused on the value of inclusion.
This is important long-term work. We know by leveraging diverse thinking and enriching our capabilities, we can create a positive work and team culture, improve collaboration and positively impact the performance of our global business. The result of this work creates a culture where our people realise their potential and are empowered to pursue leadership.
We have a global workforce of approximately 1,000 people and a relatively flat organisational structure. So when evaluating if an employee should be categorised as a senior executive, we consider:
-
+[ Proximity of the employee on the Group’s organisational ] chart to the Group CEO or regional CEOs
-
+[ Scope of the role]
-
+[ Potential commercial impact]
-
+[ Accountability for risk factors]
-
+[ Total remuneration level.]
Encouraging leadership styles that recognise the importance of inclusion, supports our aim of creating a more diverse workplace by lifting the representation of females in leadership roles. We are committed to 40% of females in the senior executive category by 2030. In FY22, this was maintained at 30% through targeted recruitment, talent reviews and promotions. We also continued to upskill senior female employees, where opportunities become available, by giving them more responsibility and exposure to major customers, investors or corporate activity.

People resources and skills
Goodman is proactive about identifying and managing human capital risks. As our business evolves, this risk management approach includes identifying potential gaps in available human resources. A recent example includes the recruitment of specialist personnel with experience managing Life Cycle Carbon Assessments.
Goodman operates with global mandates to provide technical expertise and alignment across the Group. For example, the Group Technical Director, Group Insurance Manager and Group Safety Manager engage with our regional teams. Goodman’s Group Head of HR reports to the Remuneration Committee on any material employee relations and HR issues, along with gender equity and related matters. The Nominations Committee oversees the Group’s succession plan at senior levels.
Building capacity
Online learning provides an effective platform for learning and training for Goodman’s global teams. However, we also consider it a positive sign that there was a return to more face-to-face learning for key technical requirements in FY22.
Goodman’s Continental Europe business ran the Goodman Academy again this year, where internal subject matter experts present to peers on technical aspects of their roles. These sessions provide employees the opportunity to present and engage within the business.
These types of peer-to-peer training sessions are highly valued by Goodman, and we run similar programs in other regions, such as the ‘In Focus’ program in Australia.
This year we also launched a global communications training program, facilitated by an external writing expert. The program has been rolled out in Australia, New Zealand, Continental Europe and North America – with remaining regions to be trained in FY23.
Goodman’s people can also access a comprehensive catalogue of LinkedIn Learning content via the Group’s global learning system, Aspire. Aspire is the gateway to a range of professional development and skills training relating to compliance, technical and management skills. It’s the backbone of Goodman’s human capital skills offerings. All content is kept current and it remains a popular method of self-paced learning among our employees.
During FY22, 69% of Goodman’s global workforce accessed LinkedIn learning to view 9,565 hours of training across both internal and external courses. The most popular online modules were communication and negotiation, personal coaching, and leadership.
Goodman’s Greater China team has developed its own competency framework designed to assist employees identify what skills and experiences they require to progress their development and learning pathways.

Managing our team
Goodman’s human resources team manages our human capital including the global performance management process in place for our workforce.
We do background checks on new employees where relevant and ongoing checks on employees where required by regulatory bodies. Our Code of Conduct covers all employees and regular governance compliance training takes place to boost awareness, among employees, of their obligations.
We look at human capital metrics including gender representation, gender pay equity, remuneration, diversity, learning, turnover and absenteeism. Voluntary turnover across Goodman Group is around 6.4% per annum.
Across the Group, we prioritise equal fixed remuneration for employees who do similar work within the same region. Differences in total remuneration, including incentives, are based on performance.
These performance-based incentives are a large portion of our remuneration. All employees globally participate in our LTIP and it is a critical element of the Group’s remuneration philosophy. The structure and long-term nature of the LTIP is fundamental in generating the type of culture that we want for long-term success. It creates significant long-term alignment between the sustained financial and operational outcomes of the business delivered and the returns to securityholders.

Career direction
It is important to Goodman that we recruit, engage, develop and retain the best people in the market.
We focus on providing development opportunities for our people throughout their career with Goodman. This includes setting clear performance expectations from the outset. We induct new employees with face-to-face and e-learning modules during their early months at Goodman.
Crucial to the development of our people is monitoring performance and providing competitive remuneration and benefits. To develop careers, we offer learning and development opportunities that help build new and existing skills. We prioritise talent and use succession planning to make sure we build a strong workforce and leadership team for the future.
Employee development plans are reviewed each year with managers. These focus on career aspirations, goals, and potential training. Our people are offered incentives to study during their career at Goodman. This includes study support schemes, which in some regions includes an allowance of up to AU$8,000.
The annual performance review and development process helps identify and plan for role progression and identify what specialised management training is required. This training includes peer-to-peer engagement with Goodman’s senior leadership team and management committees, which helps identify succession opportunities and creates a diverse leadership team for the longer term.

ADVANCING RECONCILIATION WITH AUSTRALIA’S FIRST NATION’S PEOPLE
Refect: Our Reconciliation Action Plan
Goodman sees it as our responsibility to listen to, learn from and amplify First Nations voices where we work and live in Australia. We are at the beginning of realising our ambitions in this space. Our focus this year has been on moving through the Reflect stage of our Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP). A RAP is designed to provide tangible and substantive benefits for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples around the core pillars of relationships, respect and opportunities. Like anything we do, it’s important that our first RAP is authentic and ambitious – we’re determined to make a difference.
Relationships
We are actively engaging with Indigenous organisations to assist us with our Reflect RAP, including cultural immersion and building relationships with Local Land Councils in the areas where we operate.
To understand the right training and immersion opportunities to offer, we surveyed our people and offered senior leadership briefings on reconciliation and the RAP process. Both will enable our people to be a part of our engagement with First Nations peoples.
Respect
Acknowledging Country at Goodman’s official investor events such as the AGM and results presentations is an important mark of respect. For new developments, we conduct a Welcome to Country and smoking ceremony officiated by Local Land Councils.
During NAIDOC Week and National Reconciliation Week we worked to further facilitate greater understanding and respect through cultural immersions, communication, Indigenous movie screenings and food workshops.

FOR SAFETY
Goodman is a global business and our commitment to safety is consistent across regions. Our global safety framework helps us implement our approach to safety management for construction and maintenance activities in our portfolio.
Crossways Commercial Park, London, United Kingdom.
The major risks for life safety, and a key area of our focus, are in the development and construction of our properties on sites under control and supervision of Principal Contractors.
Goodman is committed to positively influencing high safety standards in our contracted workforce. We also actively monitor safety standards to minimise incidents and achieve our objective of zero fatal accidents in our supply chain.
==> picture [170 x 240] intentionally omitted <==
Major safety initiatives
During FY22 our priority was achieving zero fatal accidents on construction projects controlled by Principal Contractors. We launched a ‘Return to Zero’ program to directly influence contractors and increase operational monitoring of safety standards.
We developed specifications for minimum contractual safety standards on construction projects for Principal Contractors. The standards outline our expectations for contractors as they provide control measures for high-risk activities. During FY22 we proactively monitored the implementation of these contractual safety standards during construction.
During our ‘Return to Zero’ program, we conducted frequent safety inspections and issued non-conformance reports and stop work orders to Principal Contractors. This not only enforced our standards but also served to influence contractor safety standards overall.
We also developed a program to provide increased powers for our site safety representatives and initiated penalties for contractors deemed to be non-compliant with Goodman expectations. Our combined approach helped us achieve zero fatal accidents on contractor-controlled projects this year.

- WELL HEALTH SAFETY RATING FOR 10 HONG KONG PROPERTIES
In Hong Kong, urban density means our properties are central hubs and home to bigger workforces than many other locations.
The globally-recognised WELL Health-Safety Rating, from the International WELL Building Institute (IWBI), guides, validates and recognises the efforts of building owners and operators on critical health and safety issues. This year Goodman submitted 10 of our Hong Kong properties for the rating. We became Hong Kong’s first logistics developer in our asset class to achieve it.
The WELL rating assesses more than 20 features across five core areas:
-
+[Cleaning and sanitisation procedures]
-
+[Emergency preparedness programs]
-
+[Health service resources]
-
+[Air and water quality management]
-

Goodman Group Sustainability Report 2022
Corporate performance
We are proactive about ESG at Goodman. It is a people-focused approach that achieves positive outcomes for our business, people, stakeholders and the communities where we operate, in the long term.
Goodman’s Boards are committed to managing ESG matters with the highest priority. The Boards monitor progress towards our 2030 Sustainability Strategy and targets. They recently established a Sustainability and Innovation Committee to support the management team. The new Committee, along with Goodman’s Risk and Compliance Committee, will enhance the Board’s visibility and oversight of our ESG initiatives.
ESG has been further embedded into our business recently through our remuneration structure. Meeting environmental and sustainability targets is now a further performance assessment for vesting of our LTIs linked to operational outcomes, and is measurable and disclosed as part of our remuneration structure. It means our people have a long-term financial interest in the environmental and sustainability performance of our business.
Maintaining sustainable sources of capital requires demonstratable governance of ESG priorities. During the year, Goodman established a Sustainability Linked Bond Framework. This provides a structure to link financing with our sustainability strategy and the achievement of our sustainability goals.
Our reputation is important so we act in line with our Code of Conduct (the Code) and comprehensive suite of governance policies, and with integrity wherever we do business. Together, these documents set the standard of professional and ethical behaviour expected from all of those who represent us. They are available on Goodman’s global website. The Code was updated during the year to better align with our revised values.

Effective and regular disclosure of our ESG performance with stakeholders helps maintain trust in Goodman’s governance and leadership teams. We participate in several ESG ratings and benchmarks that our investment partners value, and we use these as tools to identify where we can improve. The benchmarks/ratings we participate in are set to grow in FY23. The list currently includes:
-
+[Global Real Estate Sustainability Benchmark (GRESB)]
-
+[MSCI ESG Index]
-
+[Sustainalytics benchmark.]
In 2022, 10 Goodman partnerships participated in the GRESB, with results due over the coming months. Last year, we achieved excellent results including our Japanese Core Partnership being awarded Sector Leader in the industrial distribution warehouse category for the fourth consecutive year.

Governance of ESG issues
At Goodman, we are committed to the highest standards of corporate governance and recognise that an effective corporate governance framework is critical to the long-term performance of the business. This extends to governance relating to ESG matters, which we believe is essential to maximise long-term sustainable value for securityholders.
The Sustainability and Innovation Committee will focus on Goodman’s sustainability strategy, responding to material drivers such as climate risk, as well as our performance on our ESG targets. The Committee will also oversee and monitor Goodman’s investment in innovation and review the impact of innovation and technological developments on the business.
Goodman’s team will provide quarterly updates to the Sustainability and Innovation Committee as it does for the Risk and Compliance Committee. These committees provide strategic insights to Goodman’s Boards.
We believe the overall long-term sustainability of our business requires long-term strategic operational objectives. These must sit alongside a remuneration system which builds a culture of ownership for our employees as we focus performance on long-term success rather than short-term gains.
==> picture [170 x 240] intentionally omitted <==

Goodman’s remuneration structure is integrated into the business to encourage sustainable financial results alongside improvement in all areas of ESG over time. This includes sustainability targets which are incorporated into the performance reviews and remuneration structure for Goodman’s management teams.
In particular, for LTI awards made since 2021 the Board has discretion to apply a reduction to the number of performance rights that vest where it considers that management’s performance is not sufficient against sustainability targets. For the awards made in September 2022, these targets will include:
-
+[ Renewable energy ]
-
Increasing our global renewable energy usage to include 70% of electricity generated from renewable sources (including the allocation of renewable energy certificates) as we progress to our long-term target of 100% renewable energy use by 2025
-
+[ Solar Power ]
-
65MW of new solar PV installations or commitments (on-site and offsite sources) as we progress to our 2025 400MW target*
-
+[ Carbon ]
-
Maintaining carbon-neutral operations (within our direct operational control) by reducing emissions and using verified carbon offsets
-
Embodied carbon emissions of new developments are calculated and considered in investment papers. This will be done on a globally consistent basis for carbon neutral developments
-
A reduction in the Group’s Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 2030, against 2021 baseline, in line with 1.5°C Paris Agreement pathway as validated by SBTi (this is a new target for FY22)
-
+[ TCFD ]
-
Maintaining and updating our climate disclosures in line with the TCFD guidelines
-
+[ Occupancy ]
-
Maintaining a >95% occupancy rate.
Inclusion of these assessments provides real financial impact to our people if they materially underperform on these long-term objectives.

Code of conduct
At Goodman we believe in conducting ourselves and our business with integrity. Maintaining our reputation is critical.
These beliefs underly our Code of Conduct (the Code), which clearly sets out the standards of professional and ethical behaviour expected from those who represent us.
Goodman updated its Code during the year to better align with our values. The updated Code is more comprehensive and links directly to our corporate governance policies. Our corporate governance policies were also reviewed during the year.
The Code is endorsed by Goodman’s Boards and extends to anyone who works for Goodman, including non-executive directors (Directors) as well as employees and contractors (team members). It also informs how we interact with everyone we encounter at work, including customers, suppliers, partners, regulators and securityholders.
At Goodman, we have zero tolerance for any improper or unethical conduct, including bribery and corruption. All team members complete ethical behaviour training, which includes bullying, harassment, anti-bribery and corruption.
The Code has nine guiding principles to preserve Goodman’s reputation of doing the right thing by our customers and team members. The 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
-
+[ Support our sustainability strategy and targets]
-
+[ Manage conflicts of interest]
-
+[ Strive to be a great team member.]
These principles operate alongside Goodman’s values, policies and procedures and everyone is expected to follow them when representing Goodman.

Human rights and modern slavery
Goodman supports the protection of human rights, and equity and fairness within our supply chains. We acknowledge that modern slavery is a global risk and that managing this risk is an ongoing responsibility. Modern Slavery is a serious form of exploitation present in global supply chains, that can take place through labour rights abuses including forced labour, debt bondage and child labour. It can come about through the use of coercion, threats or deception to exploit and deprive people of their freedoms, rights and access to safe and fairly compensated employment.
Modern slavery spans industries, but an estimated 18% of modern slavery victims are in the property and construction industry. Additionally, 22% of forced labour occurs in the manufacture and production of raw materials – key suppliers to the property and construction industry.
Goodman is not immune to the risk of modern slavery. The risk of modern slavery is most likely to be present within our supply chain which includes over 8,000 suppliers (as opposed to our direct employees where we have strong controls in place).
Our Sustainable Sourcing Framework and our robust, risk-based approach to modern slavery both enable us to respond better to these risks, and work with suppliers to mitigate them. We have also committed to developing and implementing global operational and supplier standards and guidance on modern slavery to assist our teams involved in procurement in FY23. Together, these actions represent a strong signal about business ethics that will spread along our operations and through our supply chain.

Sustainable sourcing
This year Goodman developed its Sustainable Sourcing Framework. The Framework provides direction to achieve Goodman’s overarching sourcing and supply chain objectives globally. We recognise we have an opportunity to influence the sustainability outcomes of a value chain that consists of over 8,000 suppliers. The Framework will help us to protect human rights within our supply chain and to mitigate the risk of modern slavery, as well as respond to the social, environment and governance targets in our 2030 sustainability strategy.
We have developed a roadmap to successfully implement the Framework from FY23.
The first step of the roadmap is engaging with our internal and external stakeholders to build awareness of our sourcing and supply chain objectives and expectations. Internal working groups have been established to support this task, and to help with implementation of the Framework in each of the regions where we operate.

Goodman recognises the impact of procured products and services on the environment and people. As a result, this year we expanded our procurement policies to support the new Framework – they now prioritise environmental, social and governance objectives.
We aim to adopt procurement strategies which avoid unnecessary consumption and, where possible, benefit society, while considering environmental impact and lifecycle.
We anticipate our new Framework and procurement decision making will see us increase the number of our suppliers that prioritise social, environmental and governance factors. We look forward to working with like-minded suppliers.
We recognise that our suppliers operate in a variety of legal frameworks and cultural environments around the world. However, we believe that engaging consistently with our supply chain on our Framework will lead to broader positive change in our sector.

ESG benchmarking
ESG performance and rating benchmarks allow Goodman to measure and communicate our ESG efforts to our stakeholders. They also allow us to assess opportunities for improvement. We participate in several global benchmarking programs, including the Global Real Estate Sustainability Benchmark (GRESB), the MSCI ESG Index, and the Sustainalytics benchmark.
One of the leaders in sustainability assessments in real estate is GRESB, which helps our stakeholders contextualise our sustainability performance. Over the decade Goodman has been a participant in GRESB, we have continually improved our scores and increased our number of participating entities. This year, 10 of our partnerships made submissions, with the results due for release late 2022.
To date Goodman has achieved some excellent GRESB results within our peer groups. While 2022 results are due later this year, 2021 highlights include:
-
+[ Goodman Group maintained its ‘A’ rating for its public ESG disclosure]
-
+[ Goodman Japan Core Partnership achieved 5 Stars ] and Sector Leader for the fourth consecutive year
-
+[ Goodman Australia Partnership achieved joint overall ] Regional Sector Leader
-
+[ Goodman UK Partnership was ranked First in the ] Development benchmark.
We were also active in other benchmarks this year. In March 2022, Goodman received an ESG Risk Rating of 9.5 from Sustainalytics, where we were assessed as being at ‘Negligible’ risk of experiencing material financial impacts from ESG factors – a strong result.
The Group was also upgraded by MSCI to ‘AA’ from ‘A’, reflecting our robust corporate governance and anti-corruption controls.

Investment grade credit rating
Maintaining a sustainable and strong balance sheet with available liquidity and ongoing access to capital is important to our business. Increasingly, our finance partners are valuing ESG performance and using their investments to influence sustainable outcomes like those which Goodman supports.
Goodman Group has longstanding relationships with some of the world’s largest pension and sovereign wealth groups through our managed Partnerships. Our approach to sustainability, and the targets we set ourselves, are one way we can build trust with our stakeholders, including our investment partners.
Many of our investment partners operate with their own dynamic ESG policies. As a result, these relationships have supported Goodman’s investment teams to adopt sustainability principles in our own development and management activities. This has contributed to the sustained improvement in Goodman’s external ESG benchmarks.
We measure our financial sustainability and strength through our credit ratings of BBB+ (S&P) and Baa1 (Moody’s). These ratings reflect our sustainable operations and results, capital stability and approach to responsible investments.
During the year, Goodman developed its Sustainability Linked Bond Framework (framework). The framework outlines how Goodman Group can link our financing strategy with our sustainability strategy, helping to deliver on our sustainability goals. Following the development of the framework, Goodman closed its first US$500 million Sustainability Linked Bond into the US144A/Reg S market.

A changing world
With another year of global challenges, the Goodman Foundation continued to support our charity partners as the world changed around them yet again. While demand for charitable services soared, capacity to deliver or implement crucial fundraising activities remained compromised. Working in partnership with local charities who know best what their communities need, the Goodman Foundation helped them respond strategically and scale their impact as required.
We stayed generous and flexible, our doors open, whether we were responding to disasters like floods or helping those impacted by the war in the Ukraine. We also remained acutely aware of the new and pressing challenges COVID was creating for our communities.
This year, our support for the Indigenous community in Australia increased and we expect will continue to increase in coming years. We worked closely with existing partners to find ways to contribute to their Indigenous programs, such as Meals for the Mob through FareShare. Plus, we sought new partnerships to help us work towards the objectives of our Reconciliation Action Plan.
Across the year our support totalled $10.6 million in cash, plus another $1 million in staff fundraising and in-kind contributions. This takes our total investment to $37.3 million since our 2030 sustainability strategy came into effect in 2019.

How we help
The Goodman Foundation partners with charities in three key areas: children and youth, community and community health, and food/product rescue and the environment.
Our focus is on providing real support where it’s needed most, so emergency response became a significant part of our program this year. By integrating our support into an organisation’s strategy, we enable growth and help them make a bigger impact.
Our support is offered as:
Cash grants
Funding for projects with defined outcomes (usually over one to three years) that enable charities to scale or make a bigger, tangible impact.
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.

EMERGENCY RESPONSE
Disasters like floods, fires or droughts now happen on a size and frequency not seen in our lifetime. When they affect the work of our charity partners or the communities we operate in, we step up to help them respond at speed or at scale.
In emergency situations, like the humanitarian crisis in Ukraine, providing support is just the right thing to do, despite us not having a presence in that market. Here, we turn to local experts to find ways to assist.
In either situation, our people play an important role – mainly by raising funds.
Ukraine humanitarian crisis
Responding to the humanitarian crisis in Ukraine and surrounding countries, the Foundation committed €1 million to support emergency response and ongoing aid.
Nearly two-thirds of Ukraine’s children are now displaced. For those crossing the border to safety, many find sanctuary within a Blue Dot Hub – safe spaces along migration routes for children and families.
Blue Dot Hubs provide critical information, emergency supplies, medical and psychological first aid, logistics and supplies for the onward journey, child-friendly spaces and activities, and more. Part of Goodman’s larger donation to UNICEF has been used to support the initial set-up and running costs of a Blue Dot Hub.
This year the Goodman team also wanted to support the people of Ukraine. Our fundraising efforts boosted Goodman’s total contribution towards the Blue Dot Hub initiative to more than $400,000.
As it became obvious that rapid medical relief was required on the ground, the Goodman team began discussions with one of our European Foundation partners, Universitair Ziekenhuis Brussel (UZ Brussel). We worked together to send medicine and medical equipment to hospitals in Ukraine with the assistance of local non-government organisations (NGOs).

Goodman funded a convoy of minivans loaded with medical supplies, including anaesthesia for surgeries. The vans made the 1,800-kilometre trip from Belgium to the small town of Medyka on the PolandUkraine border.
Once supplies were delivered, transport was offered to Ukrainians wishing to depart for safe haven in Brussels. In April, 19 refugees, mostly families of women and children, took up this offer to travel to safety.
The program has adapted as needs have been revealed. For example, when Goodman learned many of the children had no means of communication, we stepped in to provide phones or laptops.
We have also allocated funding to UZ Brussel for future dedicated Ukrainian support, with a focus on settlement needs for the Ukrainian refugees in Belgium.
The impact of this humanitarian crisis will be felt for some time. That’s why the Foundation is currently working to identify mediumterm projects that will provide tangible and sustainable benefits for the people of Ukraine, now and into the future.

Flood relief in Europe and Australia
As climate change takes hold around the world, major floods devastated two of our communities in the last year. In Europe and Australia, we saw tens of thousands of people struggle with the after-effects of these events. In Europe, major floods hit the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany in July 2021, killing hundreds and devastating local communities, households and the environment. The Red Cross stepped in to coordinate a response, and Goodman donated to support its efforts.
The European floods left the region’s rivers filled with debris and plastic. After the floods subsided, 32 of Goodman’s European team joined Belgian environmental organisation River Cleanup in its fight against plastic pollution. The team spent a day removing rubbish from local rivers, with Goodman covering the cost of all clean-up materials.
The Goodman Foundation also turned its attention to floods in Australia.
A state-of-the-art helicopter, donated to the NSW Rural Fire Service by Goodman in 2021, had its first deployment helping local authorities in the State’s west after flooding in Forbes.
The helicopter has done over 190 hours since coming into service in October 2021, participating in over 130 operations.
Goodman took further action when floods in Queensland, New South Wales and Central Australia left thousands without housing, income or clothing. We turned to our partners and their networks, asking how we could best help them provide the emergency response needed on the ground.
One of these partners, Good360 Australia, has been working hard throughout the Australian floods. Good360 connects the right goods to the right people at the right time during all stages of a disaster, supporting affected communities with the essential items they need. Our funding in previous years helped Good360 establish disaster recovery capabilities. Since February 2022, our funding has helped provide over 618,000 items to 194 flood affected communities.

Increased support from the Goodman Foundation helped Thread Together expand its operations into flood-affected communities. For many impacted community members, the clothes provided by Thread Together are the only outfits they now own.

Continued response to COVID
In this second year of the COVID pandemic, Goodman increased support to charity partners in many parts of the world, including Australia, New Zealand, China, Hong Kong and Germany.
Lockdowns impacted livelihoods, education and mental health. When strict lockdowns were in place in Sydney, Australia, Goodman’s donation to Good360, Australia helped this matching charity get personal protection equipment into heavily impacted communities in South-west Sydney.
For social enterprise, the Bread and Butter Project café closures meant it lost most of its income from wholesale bread supply, so we made a significant donation to keep its refugee staff in work. We also provided two of our warehouses to OzHarvest, which gave its teams of volunteers space to build more than 300,000 food hampers. And we funded the supply of more than 800,000 meals to families in the most impacted Sydney suburbs before Christmas.
We found extended lockdowns were affecting the mental health of young people. With our support, Raise Foundation helped 280 at-risk youth in 18 schools, receive access to youth mentors – some of them were our own people.

COMMUNITY
AND
Charity organisations in the community and community health space support those living with a condition, illness or disability. Or their efforts help to create a more inclusive and equitable community.
Our Watch
Violence against women is a serious problem globally. In Australia, on average one woman a week is murdered by her current or former partner. Our Watch, an Australian organisation that works to prevent violence against women and their children, has undertaken evidencebased research which demonstrates gender inequality is at the heart of the problem for violence against women. Our Watch works to embed gender equality and prevent violence where Australians live, learn, work and socialise.
To expand the reach of its services and effect real change across the country, Our Watch is partnering with the Goodman Foundation to establish the Our Watch Institute. The Institute’s mission is to inspire and support Australians to end violence against women by doing their part to promote gender equality. Through training and practical tools, individuals and organisations will be equipped to lead prevention work in their own communities and spheres of influence.
Nationally there’s limited workplace training, expertise and evidence-based resources on preventing violence against women. There’s also limited understanding of the difference between workplace activities that prevent violence against women and those that respond to experiences of violence. The Institute will address these gaps by providing expert, tailored and trusted advice and support to advance gender equality in workplaces and inspire and support them to end violence against women.
The Goodman Foundation has committed $1 million towards the establishment and launch of the Institute and will commit a further $700,000 over the coming years to assist the operations. For the first phase in 2023, the Institute will focus on corporate Australia and workplaces. Over time we plan for the Institute to inspire and support organisations, workplaces, education institutions and sporting clubs to collectively put an end to domestic violence in Australia.

Habitat for Humanity, Hong Kong
On International Women’s Day this year, the Goodman Foundation announced a new partnership with Habitat for Humanity, Hong Kong, to support its Women Build 2022 campaign – supporting disadvantaged women and children’s groups in Hong Kong.
Goodman provided funding to renovate three facilities for disadvantaged women and children across two local NGOs on the Women Build project and utilised its team’s expertise to provide support in the planning and design.
Mother’s Choice provides a Child Care Home for children without families and pregnant teenagers who cannot be adequately cared for by their families. Goodman and Habitat renovated the outside areas at the Child Care Home, creating a safer and more welcoming environment for the people living there.
PathFinders operates a community centre and a shelter for some of Hong Kong’s 390,000 migrant domestic workers. Goodman funded an upgrade to the community centre to make space for additional facilities and provide a more functional, welcoming environment for existing counselling, education and healthcare services.
Funding also helped provide new furniture and fittings for the PathFinders shelter, which offers emergency and temporary accommodation for migrant domestic workers and their new-born babies.
Through this project, we hope to make a tangible difference in achieving gender equality and supporting women in need in Hong Kong.

Sternenbrücke Children’s Hospice, Germany
In the west of Hamburg, the Sternenbrücke Children’s Hospice cares for terminally ill children and their families. Since it opened in 2003, around 700 families have already been guests.
Families can stay at the children’s hospice not only in the final stages of the young people’s lives, but also for 28 days a year, allowing them to gain new strength and recuperate during this difficult time. Even after the child dies, the organisation continues to support their family through their grief.
Physical distancing requirements and the increased demand for Sternenbrücke’s service have led to new space constraints. As part of our participation in the 19th Hamburg Logistics Days in mid-May, Goodman donated funds towards construction of a winter garden. The conservatory will serve as both a dining and recreation room and will visually connect families with the beautiful Klövensteen forest area surrounding the hospice.

Sport dans la Ville, France
For over 20 years, French charity Sport dans la Ville has built sports facilities in underprivileged urban areas. Sport is used to support change. It’s also a precursor to structured experiences like cultural exchanges, academic support and employment mentoring.
Goodman’s support this year will allow Sport dans la Ville to build a football pitch in Île Saint Denis and run twice-weekly free classes for at risk youth. In this disadvantaged district within the Parisian community, 26% of 16-to-25 year-olds are out of school and unemployed. Sport offers connection and a chance to build self-confidence and other soft skills.

UZ Brussel, Belgium
The staff of the paediatric intensive care unit (PICU) in UZ Brussel in Belgium, have a saying: “We want to care, not scare.”
Built in 1984, and treating 400 children a year, the unit is outdated in both size and function. 150 children a year are turned away for lack of space. There are other problems too. The tubes, machines, blank ceilings, tiny rooms and excessive noise aren’t child-friendly or welcoming.
That will change with the build of a new paediatric intensive care unit, funded in part by Goodman. By increasing to 10 beds, they will be able to treat up to 550 children a year. The unit will feature leading technology that helps alleviate the wires and beeps that can scare children and cause them distress. It also includes sofa beds for parents to stay with their children and much welcomed space to gather in. Video chat in each room means kids can stay in contact with friends and family while undergoing lifesaving care.

The Goodman Mais Education Program, Brazil
Brazil faces a raft of issues stemming from serious social inequality. As the country faced a huge burden from COVID, unemployment in the world’s eighth-largest economy soared. Now, inflation is the highest it’s been for 20 years.
Goodman’s team in Brazil understand the depth of the country’s challenges. They thought long and hard about how their contribution through the Goodman Foundation could make the most impact in their community.
The team decided to focus on education, given its capacity to improve so many aspects of a person’s life. In 2019, more than 36.5% of Brazilians under 19 didn’t finish high school, while in 2018 almost a third of the country’s 15-to 17-year-olds dropped out of school to earn income for their families.
Together with experts from the education sector and other partners, our project team worked through the pandemic to bring the Goodman Mais (‘More’) Education Program to life.
The bespoke program has been carefully designed to build skills and confidence and support its graduates to find jobs in the challenging Brazilian market.
Over a number of months, our team carefully selected 30 energised, motivated young adults from disadvantaged areas of Sao Paulo. These young people have become the Goodman Mais Education Program’s first cohort.
Program organisers remained flexible, providing support as unanticipated challenges arose: some students had no access to laptops – so were provided one. For others, the cost of bus travel to and from school was a barrier – monthly bus passes are now built into the program.

Formal studies in Environment Management, delivered by training provider Senac, will provide participants with an impactful technical qualification. Additionally, regular presentations from employers across the sector will inspire the students, revealing how to apply their upcoming qualification in future employment. Towards the end of the program, the goal is for many of these employers to also provide students with valuable work placements.
The Goodman team will play a crucial role. Each student has been assigned a personal mentor to meet with monthly across the life of the program. It’s here that the team’s commitment to the success of Goodman Mais speaks volumes with almost 50% of our people in Brazil having already signed up as mentors.

Stepping Stone House, Australia
Stepping Stone House Community Hub, Sydney Corporate Park, Australia.
About 45,000 young people in Australia are homeless. It’s a statistic New South Wales organisation Stepping Stone House has spent 33 years working hard to change.
By providing safe places for children and young people at risk or experiencing homelessness, the charity helps them begin to heal, build resilience and become the best they can be.
Many of the young people at Stepping Stone House have a childhood background of trauma. Government funded services in NSW will only support children until they are 18, but they often need help for much longer. That’s why the community at Stepping Stone House, which is independently funded, provides long-term accommodation and support until they are 24 years old.
This people-centred approach has already helped over 450 young people become independent adults. The educational outcomes alone are significant. Stepping Stone House graduates have school attendance figures of 87%. They also have 100% employment rates on graduation from the program.
Goodman, a long-term partner of Stepping Stone House, significantly increased its support to the organisation this year. Multi-year funding supported its Bawaga Indigenous program through the employment of Indigenous support workers for the home. It also provided cultural awareness training for staff.
As the charity’s programs have grown, activities like career workshops, workplace dressing, cooking and sewing classes have outgrown the spaces available in Stepping Stone’s residential houses. The answer is a new Community Hub housed within a Goodman site in Sydney’s Alexandria. The Hub will become a home for these important ancillary programs, and a place for the Stepping Stone community to meet.
Goodman provided the fit-out and building works for the new space, and members of our team also designed and sourced items for the Community Hub’s welcoming interior.
There’s been a lot happening in this partnership – Goodman’s cars are used to help Stepping Stone House residents learn to drive, and we’re a major partner of its key Sleeping Under the Stars fundraiser.
The charity is currently working on a strategy to integrate and scale its support model, to replicate its success across Australia. Doing so, it says, would halve youth homelessness figures, increase education outcomes, and provide a myriad of short and longterm community benefits.

Shanghai Sunrise, China
Disadvantaged students were especially affected by COVID lockdowns in Shanghai.
This year Goodman began an annual commitment to support 20 disadvantaged students in secondary and tertiary education through local charity, Shanghai Sunrise. In its 25 years of operation, Shanghai Sunrise has helped educate more than 3,200 students.
Goodman’s team was also keen to provide short-term support for each of the 100 students through the Shanghai Sunrise program. Activities included webinars and mental health support, reading camps and annual online book subscriptions. Additionally, 30 technology scholarships helped students buy laptops or printers so they could engage with home education.
Hope in a Suitcase, USA
Every year in Southern California, 30,000 kids enter the foster care system. Especially in emergency situations, they often enter the system with nothing but the clothes on their backs or with just a few personal belongings that they carry from home to home in a rubbish bag. Throughout the year, Hope in a Suitcase helps change the situation for many of these children by providing suitcases and duffel bags filled with new clothing and other essentials.
At its (free of charge) ‘Shopping Events’ Hope in a Suitcase provides an opportunity for foster children to stock up on clothes, shoes and other essentials. Volunteers walk with the participants to help them shop as they fill their bag with brand new items. For foster youth who are frequently at the mercy of other people’s decisions, the ability to select the items that THEY want and need is particularly empowering.
Over the past two years, the Goodman Foundation has donated funds to help Hope in a Suitcase purchase the new items. The events have also seen growing numbers of Goodman volunteers. Many eagerly await these events, where the excitement of the young attendees is contagious.

The Clontarf Foundation, Australia
The Clontarf Foundation, founded in 2000, aims to help close the gap for young Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander males. Today the organisation partners with 152 schools across Australia, to help improve school attendance and graduation rates for over 10,400 at-risk teenage boys.
Participants in Clontarf’s programs experience a wide variety of activities, environments and social settings to help broaden their thinking about life’s possibilities and their future.
In partnership with teachers, parents and each community, local staff work as mentors. They also assist graduates to find employment or help them transition into further study or training.
Having supported Clontarf academies in Western Sydney in the past, this year Goodman began working with the Clontarf Foundation to fund a new Academy in the NSW community of Lake Cargelligo. Our annual contribution will directly cover costs for 40+ Indigenous students to participate in the holistic program which focuses on education, leadership, employment, health and wellbeing.

FOOD AND
RESCUE ENVIRONMENT
Charity organisations in the food rescue and environment space reduce waste and support those in need by redistributing fresh food or useful items that would otherwise go to landfill.
UKHarvest, United Kingdom
UKHarvest is on a mission to eliminate hunger and reduce food waste. It’s work that has become increasingly challenging this year as inflation has jumped to a 40-year high, impacting communities right across the UK.
A combination of factors has led to soaring prices for food, fuel and energy. For many families this new environment can result in impossible choices. Should they turn on the heat or feed their family?
It’s against this backdrop that the impact of this charity, which rescues and redistributes 75,000 meals every week, has become increasingly important – supplying fresh food, dry goods hampers and pre-made meals that make a real difference.
About 50% of the food eaten in the UK comes from Europe. A fact that has caused havoc with the UK’s food supply this year – the first since it exited the European Union. For many farmers, the new (and largely untested) import procedures that came as a result of Brexit saw some farmers’ seeds stuck in limbo for so long that they missed their entire planting season.

As founding partner of UKHarvest, the Goodman Foundation increased its support by committing to funding for the next three years. The extra funds will help UKHarvest continue to scale up operations and feed more people finding it tough.
Despite the challenges thrown at them, UKHarvest has remained determined and stayed innovative, providing new solutions for communities, such as pop-up pantries.
Eight pop-up pantries were implemented this year, which allow 50 to 100 families to visit each pantry, fill up a bag of fresh produce for £2.50, and access wraparound care from services like a Citizen’s Advice Bureau and housing support. At the same time, visitors to the pantries also left with new skills. Education is a big part of UKHarvest’s mission and families are offered classes in reducing food waste or cooking well for less, while they are on site.
At the charity’s Nourish Hub in London’s Shepherd’s Bush, an eclectic mix of diners visit for the daily ‘pay what you can’ lunch. Volunteers also prepare catering for those vulnerable people who are housebound. On-site food education classes run for everyone including refugees, including recent refugees from Afghanistan and Ukraine, while school holidays are used to teach disadvantaged youth how to become food waste warriors and to combat school holiday hunger. In addition, 40 days of sessions ran throughout UKHarvest over the summer holidays in a variety of venues. These reached thousands of young people.

A founding partner of OzHarvest since it began in 2004, the Goodman Foundation continued its support of Australia’s leading food rescue organisation this year.
In addition to the Food Hamper support outlined earlier, another project Goodman contributed to this year was a unique community space, Refettorio OzHarvest Sydney.
This social impact collaboration between OzHarvest and one of the world’s leading culinary figures, chef Massimo Bottura, was an Australian first. Since 2015, using his charity Food for Soul, Bottura has dedicated himself to reducing food waste and forming community projects across the globe.
The result includes Refettorios – physical, zero-waste spaces designed as community hubs to inspire and empower human potential. By day, Refettorio OzHarvest Sydney (on Crown Street in Surry Hills) opens its doors to the most vulnerable people in the local community, providing a nourishing meal and a place to connect.
By night OzHarvest uses the space to host Neighbourhood Dinner, open to anyone keen to support the Refettorio and experience its delicious food and warm service. It’s a great way to raise awareness and funds, and within three years the restaurant aims to be self-sustaining.
Goodman was one of a handful of partners helping to fund the operational costs of this unique social enterprise initiative.
In additional to our support of special projects that help OzHarvest scale its impact, the Goodman Foundation continues to provide cash grants for the charity’s annual operational costs.

FareShare, Australia
FareShare operates charity kitchens in Melbourne and Brisbane, transforming quality rescued and donated food, together with vegetables in its own kitchen gardens, into millions of delicious of healthy meals for people who are struggling to put food on the table. Together with Moorabbin Airport Corporation, Goodman Foundation has supported FareShare since 2016, providing a 3,000 sqm kitchen garden on airport land. Our team has also actively volunteered with harvesting produce and maintaining the garden.
With the continuing pandemic, rising cost of living pressures and natural disasters, the demand for FareShare’s free meals has never been greater. To assist, Goodman provides multi-year funding for a farmhand on FareShare’s Baguley farm site. The support will help the charity harvest nearly 100,000kg of vegetables a year from this location.
Goodman has also committed to help scale up a new program by FareShare called Meals for the Mob. The program provides healthy meals – cooked by First Nations peoples for First Nations peoples – and transports them to remote communities. Our multi-year funding will employ a chef to oversee the program, empowering Meals for the Mob to expand.
Second Harvest Food Bank of Orange County, USA
Finding enough affordable food is an ongoing struggle for many in Orange County, California, with one in seven children experiencing food insecurity. Second Harvest Food Bank of Orange County is driven by its purpose to end hunger in the local community. The organisation collaborates with over 250 food pantries and partners that all work towards this goal.
Harvest Solutions Farm was developed in partnership with the UC South Coast Research and Extension Center and A.G Kawamura, Chairman of Solutions for Urban Agriculture. This local sustainability farming pioneer manages 45 acres of property and has provided space for the non-profit to grow its own food.
This year, Goodman Foundation donated money for an electric/hybrid farm vehicle to help transport produce from the farm with greater ease and make a huge difference to the farm’s efficiency. Volunteers work hard, having helped harvest over 53 truckloads of fresh produce in the last 12 months.

The charitable trust, LIFE Community, is behind the Christmas Box initiative, providing families in need with Christmas hampers made up of donated food and other goods. Last Christmas, volunteers helped pack hampers in Auckland, Kaikohe, Whangārei, Hamilton, Tauranga, Rotorua, Palmerston North, Wellington, Christchurch and Dunedin.
The Goodman Foundation was pleased to play a part, providing warehousing space at M20 Business Park in Wiri for this annual event. Operating as a distribution hub for the other centres, over 260 tonnes of food was processed with around half of this packed into 12,000 hampers for the wider Auckland region. In total, 25,000 boxes were distributed to families in need, from Kaitaia to Bluff.

GOODMAN GROUP GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS
==> picture [46 x 52] intentionally omitted <==
Reporting boundary
Goodman Group calculates its global greenhouse gas emissions from its operations using the GHG Protocol. Goodman reports its operational carbon inventory annually to Climate Active as part of our commitment to maintaining our carbon-neutral organisation certification.
Our emissions boundary is based on operational control. Our inventory includes emissions generated from Goodman’s corporate activities and managed portfolio emissions, which relate to properties and areas where we are involved in the dayto-day operations. For example, electricity emissions generated by common area lifts or carpark lights of an estate would be included, as Goodman oversees the operating and maintenance schedules.
We take responsibility for 100% of these emissions, regardless of the Group’s equity share in the Investment Partnership that owns the property. For our Climate Active carbon-neutral organisation certification, our boundary excludes emissions generated by our customers’ activities within leased areas. However, our sciencebased targets, discussed below, include customer emissions.

After developing the Framework, Goodman issued its first SLB into the Rule 144A / Reg S market with a scheduled maturity of 2032.
Our annual progress can be seen in the below table. Note that the large reduction in Scope 2 emissions is predominantly due to the uptake of 100% GreenPower in our Australian business.

GOODMAN GROUP
Chairman's letter
Sustained vision
2022 saw Goodman deliver another very strong result with operating earnings per security increasing by 24%, well ahead of the initial guidance to the market of 10%. Significant contributions were made from all areas of the business. The resilience of the Group’s business strategy and that of our team has been tested in a challenging environment, and Goodman’s management has demonstrated their ability to adapt and grow with changing market conditions.
We remain focused on the long-term sustainability of the business and are cautious and prudent in our approach to capital management, retaining significant resources and liquidity to manage through uncertain economic environments.
Throughout the year, we have progressed our sustainability initiatives across all aspects of the Environmental, Social and Governance areas. Our focus is on both short-term programs that we can implement and measure today while establishing long-term strategies that will have provide enduring benefits for our business – and for of all our stakeholders – well into the future.
This includes the Group’s Long Term Incentive Plan (LTIP) which both incentivises management to achieve superior results and provides alignment with the interests of securityholders. The Plan also incorporates environmental and sustainability targets in assessing performance for all employees.
Our people are our strength and attracting and retaining talent in all our markets is critical to our success. Given our track record and global expertise, this has become increasingly difficult as competitors seek to recruit our high-performing people around the world. Goodman’s remuneration strategy, featuring a long-term incentive plan that includes the whole team, has been a key driver of our success, and ability to retain talent globally.
Investing in sustainable innovation
Over several years, the Group has been working to expand its innovation strategy. We aim to facilitate and invest in products that provide sustainable solutions to customers across property technology, supply chain and transport and construction and manufacturing. Examples include smart metering, carbon neutral building products, on site safety management and the use of robotics and electric vehicles to assist with logistics and transportation.
Our investment strategy across these technologies provides the Group with greater access, visibility and insight into the related trends affecting real estate. Our focus is on evaluating how these can be applied to our own portfolio to improve sustainable outcomes for all.
Sustainability governance
Our Sustainability initiatives are entrenched into the Group’s business strategy and continue to remain a key priority for the Board and management. To support the management team and to enhance the Board’s visibility and efficacy on our ESG initiatives, we are in the process of establishing a new Sustainability and Innovation Committee which will commence its activities in October of this year. This Committee will be Chaired by Chris Green with Phil Pryke and newly appointed Directors, Hilary Spann and Vanessa Liu, as members. Chris, Hilary and Vanessa are all New York-based and actively work in the sustainability and innovation space in their day-to-day businesses and are expertly positioned for these roles. Phil has experience in the green energy field and, as the Chair of the Remuneration Committee, plays an important role in setting and reviewing the LTIP targets.

ANNUAL REPORT 2022
Board progression
This year we have made significant progress to deliver on our strategy to maintain a diverse Board with the appropriate mix of skills, gender and geographic representation.
Hilary Spann, appointed in April, is a highly experienced global real estate executive with an extensive background in public and private equity markets. She is currently a senior executive at NYSE-listed Boston Properties, Inc, based in New York.
Vanessa Liu was appointed in May. She is an experienced technology innovator, business leader and digital media entrepreneur. Vanessa is currently Co-Founder and CEO of SaaS technology company Sugarwork, and an Independent Director of ASX-listed artificial intelligence company, Appen Ltd.
Both Hilary’s and Vanessa’s experience and insights are well aligned to our long-term strategy and values, while bringing greater diversity to the Board and helping continue to shape Goodman as a forward-thinking company.
At this year’s AGM, Hilary and Vanessa will be standing for election to the Board. Independent Directors Phil Pryke and Chris Green together with Executive Director Anthony Rozic will be standing for re-election.
Rebecca McGrath has notified the Goodman Board of her intention to bring forward her retirement from the Board from the 2024 AGM to 28 February 2023 to accommodate her expanding commitments with other companies. Since joining the Goodman Board in 2011, the Group has undergone substantial growth and changed markedly. – Rebecca has played an important role particularly through her chairmanship of the Risk and Compliance Committee. – On behalf of the Board and management, I thank Rebecca for her significant contribution over the last 11 years.
Demonstrating action
At Goodman we remain focused on our long-term sustainable business model. With a strong and determined global team, we are working with our customers to address the needs for more efficient and sustainable supply chains and for our investors to achieve long term, sustainable returns. At the same time, we are focused on providing our own people with opportunities and workplaces that enable them to be challenged and grow. I believe we have the right strategy and culture to achieve these objectives.
On behalf of the Board, I sincerely thank our customers and investors for their continued support and the Goodman team for their considerable efforts in making 2022 a most successful year for the Group.
Sincerely

Stephen Johns Independent Chairman
In light of the appointment of our two new directors and the forthcoming replacement for Rebecca, the Board has asked long standing director, Phil Pryke, the Chair of the Remuneration Committee, to stand again for re-election at this year’s AGM. This will help preserve knowledge and experience on the Board. It is intended that Phil would retire from the Board during his next term after facilitating a smooth transition for a new Remuneration Committee Chair.

Group CEO letter
Goodman Group delivered a strong result for FY22, reflecting the continued demand for industrial space in our markets. Our customers’ need for more productivity and sustainability from their supply chains continues to drive this demand. By focusing our portfolio and development workbook on key infill locations, we have seen accelerating market rental growth, significant valuation uplift and subsequent outperformance of our Partnerships.
Key financial highlights:
-
- Operating profit was $1.5 billion, up 25% on FY21,
-
- Operating EPS was 81.3 cents, up 24% on FY21
-
- Statutory profit was $3.4 billion, up 48%.
All business areas have contributed to the Group’s solid performance with:
-
- Investment earnings up 20%
-
- Management earnings up 28%
-
- Development earnings up 34%.
Assets under management have grown 26% to $73 billion, with an average total return of 21.4% for our Partnerships. We continue to be prudent and patient with our capital. Over the year $1.8 billion in third party equity was raised and we completed $8.5 billion of debt refinancing across the Group and Partnerships.
As a result, the Group’s balance sheet remains well positioned with low gearing at 8.5%, $2.8 billion of available liquidity, and $18.1 billion available across the Partnerships.
Optimising operations
The structural changes driving demand for industrial property remain. The digital economy continues to grow alongside our customers’ need for greater supply chain efficiency and sustainable properties close to consumers.
We’re working closely with our customers to optimise space, leverage technology, and provide strategic locations that lower transport requirements, costs and delivery times.
Property fundamentals remain strong in our markets. With stabilised occupancy at 98.7%, organic growth through our $13.6 billion development book continues to provide our customers with a source of quality properties in key locations. Our developments were 99% leased on completion and the high level of customer demand, coupled with low levels of supply have seen market rental growth accelerating at a rapid pace.
Consistent execution of our development workbook, and value-add across our sites, is contributing to strong margins, and offsetting cost pressure from increased construction costs globally.
Taking action on climate
Goodman is proactively responding to the global challenges of climate change and delivering on our ESG commitments. We’re taking action by reducing carbon emissions, regenerating infill sites, using renewable energy, developing greener buildings and creating more equitable supply chains. Through the Goodman Foundation, we’re partnering with community groups, and have facilitated $11.6 million of charity contributions throughout the year. We have increased our sustainability initiatives and commitments have grown from $700 million to approximately $820 million through to 2025.
Working with our customers and reducing our carbon emissions remains a priority. We’ve had our carbon reduction targets validated by the Science-Based Targets initiative and the Group is more than halfway to our 2025 target of having 400MW of solar PV installed across our global portfolio. Goodman is also on track to maintain carbon neutrality for our operations, while importantly, calculating and addressing the embodied carbon in our developments and investigating low carbon materials.

ANNUAL REPORT 2022
Outlook for FY23
Goodman is forecast to deliver another good performance in FY23, off the back of a strong year. We have a significant development workbook underway, continued underlying structural demand from our customers, and a robust capital position across the Group and Partnerships. As a result, we expect FY23 operating EPS growth to be 11%.
Focused team
Goodman’s agility, locational strategy and strong balance sheet, mean we are well positioned to continue to adapt to ongoing market challenges. Our global team remains focused on providing value and operational excellence for our customers and investors.
I’d like to thank our people who have continued to live our values of integrity, determination, innovation and sustainability. They have worked together to deliver an excellent result for our securityholders and investors. I would also like to thank you, our securityholders, as well as our customers, and all other stakeholders for your continued support and contribution to Goodman’s sustainable growth.

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 2022 (FY22) 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 GL is identified as having acquired control over the assets of GIT and GLHK. The consolidated financial statements of GL 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 FY22, 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 projected 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 $133.3 million (2021: $134.1 million). Total interest bearing liabilities are grossed up for the fair values of certain derivative financial instruments included in other financial liabilities of $79.6 million (2021: $62.3 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 2022
Overview
Goodman has delivered a strong operating performance during FY22 with operating profit increasing by 25.3% to $1,528.0 million. This equates to an operating EPS of 81.3 cents, up 24.0% on FY21.
The business environment is changing, with increased interest rates, inflation, geopolitical risks and the ongoing impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic; however, the long-term structural drivers of demand for our assets have not changed. Tight supply and strong customer demand continue to support leasing across our stabilised portfolio and developments, with high occupancy in the markets the Group has chosen to invest in. Our customers continue to intensify their warehousing in order to enhance their ability to service their customers in urban locations. There has been an increase in the use of automation and technology to optimise delivery and improve supply chain efficiency and the Group aims to continue to facilitate this with the selection of assets in the portfolio.
We have continued to successfully execute our strategy, which is providing our customers with essential locations and offering productivity improvements to help absorb cost and time. It is also delivering to the Group and Partnerships a portfolio of assets with consistently strong risk adjusted returns. This is reflected in both the Group’s property investment earnings and management earnings.
Development activity has again been a significant contributor to the operating performance. Construction costs are increasing globally but the Group has been able to manage these impacts successfully. However, by delivering increased productivity and value from our sites and development execution, Goodman has provided productivity benefits to customers which has assisted in the maintenance of strong returns.
The investor and customer demand for industrial space has led to another strong property valuation result, especially in the first half of the financial year. Rising interest rates have meant that the pace of the capitalisation rate compression, and therefore valuation growth, slowed in the second half of the financial year; however, growth in rental income that is occurring in Goodman’s portfolio has contributed an increasing proportion of the valuation result. While transactional activity has slowed in the last quarter, transactions that have completed show that valuations for good quality real estate in the right locations remain supported. The total property uplifts (net of tax), including the Group’s share of Partnerships, for FY22 was $2,326.3 million and the weighted average capitalisation rate for the stabilised assets in the portfolios contracted from 4.3% at 30 June 2021 to 4.0% at 30 June 2022.
Goodman’s capital position remains sound. At 30 June 2022, gearing was 8.5% and the cash and undrawn bank lines available to the Group were $2.8 billion. In April 2022, the Group closed a US$500 million Sustainability Linked Bond into the US144A/Regulation S market. Dividends and distributions relating to FY22 were maintained at 30 cents per security, equivalent to 37% of operating profit. The cash retained for future investment in the business enables the maintenance of the balance sheet and capital position that 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.
Over the year, progress on Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) objectives was met or exceeded. Please refer to the FY22 Group Sustainability Report for more detail. This is expected to be released before the 2022 Annual General Meeting (AGM).
Key operational highlights for FY22:
Property investment:
-
- Property investment earnings of $494.6 million (2021: $411.5 million)
-
- $73.0 billion (2021: $57.9 billion) of total AUM, of which the Group owns a whole or a part share
-
- 3.9% like for like growth in net property income (NPI) in Partnerships
-
- 98.7% occupancy across the Partnerships.
Management:
-
- Management earnings of $588.4 million (2021: $459.1 million)
-
- $68.7 billion of external AUM in Partnerships
-
- Partnerships reported 21.4% weighted average total return on net assets.
Development:
-
- Development earnings of $960.7 million (2021: $717.9 million)
-
- $13.6 billion of development WIP (by estimated end value)
-
- 85% of WIP is currently conducted within, or pre-sold to, Partnerships or third parties.
The operating performance and property valuation results have contributed to Goodman’s statutory profit attributable to Securityholders for FY22 increasing by $1,102.1 million to $3,414.0 million. The statutory profit is reported net of the accounting expense of the Goodman LTIP of $257.6 million and a loss of $191.4 million from derivative fair value movements. These items, as well as the property valuation gains, are excluded from the calculation of operating profit.

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 (including the Hong Kong SAR) and Japan), Continental Europe (with the vast majority of assets located in Germany and France), the United Kingdom and the Americas (principally North America and including 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 JVs, 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.

Property investment
Property investment earnings in FY22 of $494.6 million increased by 20% on the prior year and comprised 24% of the total operating earnings (2021: 26%).

Goodman’s property portfolios are concentrated in large, urban locations where available space remains restricted, driven by significant customer demand, combined with relatively high barriers to entry and limited supply. Consequently, we are seeing significant market rental growth across many locations globally. This is supporting strong underlying investment fundamentals and cash flows in our portfolio.
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 increased compared to the prior year as a result of both like for like increases in NPI and rental income earned from completed developments (held in inventories, mainly in Continental Europe) prior to their disposal to Partnerships or third parties.
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 increased by $58.7 million to $390.9 million compared to the prior year. This was due to the stabilisation of developments in FY21 and FY22, 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. NPI from the Partnership portfolios in FY22 was up by over 3.9% on a like for like basis compared to FY21 and average occupancy increased to 99%.
During FY22, the Group’s share of property valuations from the stabilised portfolios (before deferred tax) was $2,138.8 million (2021: $1,174.9 million), which included valuation uplifts of $204.3 million (2021: $164.2 million) on developments that reached completion during the year. In addition, the Group’s share of property valuations from investment properties Under Development and those held for sale was $452.1 million (2021: $223.6 million). Valuation gains occurred in all regions and while capitalisation rate compression was the main driver, in the first half of the year, both rental income growth and development activities have provided an increasing contribution. At 30 June 2022, the WACR for the Group’s portfolios was 4.0%, compared to 4.3% at the start of the financial year.
The operating income return on Goodman’s investment in the stabilised portfolios held by the Partnerships was 4.2% compared to 4.3% in FY21, as the growth in NPI was offset by the impacts of the valuation uplifts that increased the investment base. These valuation uplifts resulted in a 21% total return for the financial year. The income returns from the Partnerships were also impacted by the increased level of active development which has not yet begun to deliver rental income. 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.
16
ANNUAL REPORT 2022
Management
Management earnings in FY22 of $588.4 million increased by 28% compared to the prior year and comprised 29% of total operating earnings (2021: 29%). This increase was a combination of higher base management and property service fees and higher performance fees.
The higher base management fees were primarily a result of the increased AUM. During FY22, external AUM increased by 27% to $68.7 billion from $54.0 billion, primarily due to valuations, acquisitions and developments in the Partnerships.
External AUM
| 2022 | |
|---|---|
| $B | |
| At the beginning of the year | 54.0 |
| Acquisitions | 4.2 |
| Disposals | (0.9) |
| Capital expenditure (developments) | 2.6 |
| Valuations | 8.2 |
| Foreign currency translation | 0.6 |
| At the end of the year | 68.7 |
Excluding performance related income, management fee income earned from the overall management of the Group’s Partnerships was $380.4 million (2021: $310.1 million). Base management fee income increased in line with the external AUM, noting that a significant component of the valuation uplifts were recorded at 31 December 2021 and that the completion of developments throughout the year was skewed to the second half of FY22. 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.
Performance fee revenue of $208.0 million (2021: $149.0 million) again provided a strong contribution to the Group’s operating earnings. As in the prior year, these performance fees arose in Australia/New Zealand, Asia and Continental Europe, with the higher performance fees in FY22 due to the timing of the assessment dates relative to the prior year. For FY22, the Partnerships reported a weighted average total return on net assets of 21.4% (2021: 17.7%) and with the consistently strong performance of the Partnerships in recent times, a significant backlog of potential fees may be earned in the future should conditions remain stable.
Development
In FY22, development earnings were $960.7 million (excluding revaluation gains), an increase of 34% on the prior year and comprised 47% of total operating earnings (2021: 45%).
Strong occupier demand has continued to give the Group confidence to grow the development workbook as customers look for sites closer to consumers and invest in new facilities to accommodate significant investments in technology and automation. Goodman’s development activity is underpinning its organic growth with an average annual production rate for FY22 (based on expected development end value) of approximately $7.0 billion, an increase of over $1.0 billion on FY21.
WIP (based on development end value) is $13.6 billion at 30 June 2022 (2021: $10.6 billion). The WIP is globally diversified across 85 projects and has grown in volume, scale and value. The increased scale and complexity have seen the average development period increase from 19 to 23 months over the past year. The majority of development activity in FY22 was again undertaken by or for the Partnerships and third parties (85% of WIP at 30 June 2022).
While costs have increased globally across the construction process due to supply chain, labour and material shortages, Goodman’s margins have remained strong. This has been managed proactively through the Group’s procurement practices and contingencies for time and cost. In addition, rental growth and value-add activities across the portfolio and development projects have provided the ability to mitigate these costs.
The Group remains focused on regeneration of existing land and buildings and enhancing value through intensification of use such as multi-storey developments which make up $7.7 billion of the current WIP. Goodman is continuing to add opportunities to its portfolio incrementally to support future development in constrained markets, while reducing its impact on the environment through brownfield developments. Brownfield developments and regeneration of sites continues to be greater than 50% of our global WIP.
Given the strength in customer demand, especially in locations where the supply of available land is restricted, the Group has chosen to commence certain projects prior to securing a pre-lease commitment. Consequently, of the $7.9 billion of project commencements during the year, 59% had pre-committed leases. However, of the $6.0 billion of development completions during the year, 99% had pre-committed leases, a reflection of the strong customer demand and the Group’s ability to convert that into lease contracts that support the value of the investment.

Directors’ report Operating and financial review (continued) Analysis of performance (continued)
Operating expenses
For FY22, operating expenses were $349.3 million, up from $294.0 million in the prior year, an increase of $55.3 million. This was primarily in wages and salaries, due to additional headcount to support the ongoing activity levels, inflationary pressures in most regions and additional short-term incentives due to the outperformance in the Group’s overall operating profit. The Group’s aim is to keep base remuneration costs relatively steady, and instead use variable remuneration to incentivise staff.
Administrative and other expenses increased to $90.4 million from $83.2 million due to recommencement of travel and the associated costs, higher information technology expenditure and increased charitable donations.
Net finance expense (operating)
Net finance expense (operating), which excludes interest income on loans to development JVs, derivative mark to market and unrealised foreign exchange movements, increased to $39.3 million from $16.4 million. This was due to a greater level of interest bearing liabilities, including the new US$500 million Sustainability Linked Bond and higher interest rates, partly offset by an increase in capitalised interest.
Income tax expense (operating)
Income tax expense (operating) for FY22 at $127.1 million (2021: $58.7 million) increased 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 increase in the tax expense was primarily due to the nature and geographic location of the Group’s increased revenues.
Capital management
Interest bearing liabilities
At 30 June 2022, the Group’s available debt facilities and fixed rate long-term bonds, which totalled $4.6 billion (of which $2.9 billion had been drawn), had a weighted average maturity of 6.2 years with $0.1 billion due to mature in FY23. The Group’s cash and undrawn bank facilities totalled $2.8 billion. During the year, the Group’s issued its first US$500 million 10-year Sustainability Linked Bond into the US144A/Regulation S debt capital market.
At 30 June 2022, gearing was 8.5% (2021: 6.8%), which continued to be at the lower end of the Group’s policy range of 0% to 25%. Interest cover was 36.7 times (2021: 63.7 times) and the Group continued to have significant headroom relative to its financing covenants. Goodman’s strong investment grade credit ratings were unchanged over the year.
During FY22, the Group and its Partnerships issued new long-term bonds of $2.0 billion (including $859.0 million of Sustainability Linked Bonds), refinanced $6.4 billion of bank debt and secured third party equity commitments to allocate $1.8 billion that will provide liquidity for ongoing acquisition and development opportunities. At 30 June 2022, 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 FY22 was maintained at 30 cents per security, a pay-out ratio of 37%, with 15 cents per security paid on 24 February 2022 and 15 cents per security to be paid on 25 August 2022. 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 distribution for FY22:
-
- Goodman Limited did not declare any dividends during the financial year (2021: $nil)
-
- Goodman Industrial Trust declared and accrued distributions of 27.5 cents per security (2021: 24.0 cents per security), amounting to $513.8 million (2021: $443.4 million)
-
- GLHK declared and accrued a dividend of 2.5 cents per security (2021: 6.0 cents per security), amounting to $46.7 million (2021: $110.8 million).

ANNUAL REPORT 2022
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 $260.1 million (2021: $63.1 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 $2,330.8 million (2021: $1,335.4 million), a reflection of the quality of the property portfolios and the continued customer and investor demand for industrial assets. This valuation uplift comprised $1,674.4 million (2021: $947.6 million) in respect of the stabilised portfolio, $204.3 million (2021: $164.2 million) on developments that stabilised during the year) and $452.1 million (2021: $223.6 million) from investment properties that were still under development at 30 June 2022.
At 30 June 2022, the WACR for Goodman’s stabilised property portfolios (both directly held and Partnerships) was 0.3 percentage points lower than 30 June 2021, declining from 4.3% to 4.0%.
At 30 June 2022, the Group’s share of cumulative valuation gains on properties that were subject to conditional contracts for disposal, incorporating all valuation gains since the most recent repositioning activities commenced, was $429.6 million (2021: $95.9 million).
These gains related to directly held properties and properties held in Partnerships that have been contracted for disposal and included two directly held properties that were contracted for disposal in the current year. The Group’s share of these cumulative valuation gains that have been reported as part of the statutory result included $333.7 million recognised in FY22 and $95.9 million in prior reporting periods. No valuation gains in respect of properties that had previously been subject to a conditional contract for disposal were realised in the current year (2021: $nil) and therefore none of the gains has been reflected in the operating profit for the current or any past periods.
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 loss of $191.4 million (2021: $55.0 million net gain). This was primarily due to the weakening of the AUD against the USD and HKD partly offset by a strengthening of the AUD against the JPY, EUR and GBP and the impact of higher interest rates on the associated hedge contracts.
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 economic 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 FY22, the movement in reserves attributable to foreign currency movements was a gain of $145.3 million (2021: $279.4 million loss).
Other non-cash adjustments or non-recurring items
The principal other non-cash adjustments or non-recurring items for FY22 related to the share based payments expense of $257.6 million (2021: $268.8 million) for Goodman’s LTIP. The decrease primarily related to the fact that the Goodman Group security price fell from $21.17 to $17.84 during FY22 compared to an increase from $14.85 to $21.17 in FY21.
There were no impairment losses associated with the Group’s inventories during the year.

The carrying value of the directly held stabilised investment properties (which included assets held for sale at 30 June 2022 of $598.1 million) increased by $364.9 million to $2,387.1 million at 30 June 2022. This was due to acquisitions in Australia and Asia of $409.9 million, development completions of $477.5 million and valuation uplifts of $260.1 million being partly offset by disposals of $823.9 million.
The value of Goodman’s cornerstone investments in Partnerships, which excludes the Group’s share of their development assets, increased by $3,235.3 million to $11,903.9 million. This movements during the year included the Group’s net investments in the Partnerships of $462.1 million, the valuation uplifts (net of deferred tax) across the portfolios of $1,821.6 million, transfers from development properties on stabilisation of $709.3 million and the impact of foreign currency translation $195.1 million.
The increase in the directly held development properties is due to the ongoing acquisitions and development expenditure of $1,267.1 million, which was greater than the disposals and transfers to stabilised assets at completion of $909.8 million.
The increase in the Group’s share of development assets in the Partnerships was due to acquisitions of $710.2 million and valuation uplifts of $451.3 million (net of deferred tax), partly offset by transfers to stabilised assets at completion of $724.9 million.
The principal goodwill and intangible asset balances are in Continental Europe and the United Kingdom. The movement during the year related to changes in foreign currency exchange rates and there were no impairments or reversals of impairments.
The movement in the cash balance during the year is explained in the cash flows section of this report. In respect of the interest bearing liabilities, Goodman has renegotiated a number of bank facilities to provide ongoing funds for the business, but the principal change in the drawn debt during the year was the completion of a US$500 million Sustainability Linked Bond into the US144A/Regulation S market. The foreign private placement of ¥12.5 billion is scheduled to mature in April 2023 and is disclosed as a current liability.
Other assets included receivables, right of use assets from the Group’s operating leases (primarily office premises) and the fair values of certain derivative financial instruments, which hedge the Group’s interest rate and foreign exchange rate risks. There were no material movement during FY22.
Other liabilities include trade and other payables, lease liabilities, the provision for distributions to Securityholders, fair values of certain derivative financial instruments and tax liabilities (including deferred tax). The increase in other liabilities is primarily due to mark to market movements on derivative financial instruments.
Goodman’s development holdings include directly held properties (primarily inventories) of $1,976.4 million (2021: $1,650.5 million) and the Group’s share of development assets in the Partnerships of $2,478.8 million (2021: $1,994.6 million), and on a combined basis increased during the year by $810.1 million to $4,455.2 million (2021: $3,645.1 million). This was a reflection of the increased activity levels in most regions with the Group’s development WIP (as measured by estimated end value) having increased from $10.6 billion at 20 June 2021 to $13.6 billion at 30 June 2022.

Operating cash flows
Operating cash flows of $841.0 million (2021: $1,114.7) million were lower than the prior year. This was mainly due to an increase in the payments associated with development activities. There was also an increase in other cash payments, lower cash received from the Partnership distributions (as a result of sales completed last year) that were partly offset by higher cash receipts from portfolio performance fees.
The net development cash inflow was $367.1 million (2021: $612.9 million). The gross receipts from development activities were similar to the prior year at $1,587.8 million (2021: $1,560.3 million), but the gross payments for development activities were higher than the prior year at $1,220.7 million (2021: $947.4 million). 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. However, it also reflected an investment in inventories that will be developed to generate profits in future periods. For FY22 overall, compared to the prior year Goodman undertook a similar percentage of its total development activities in the Partnerships. When Partnerships require funding for development activities, then the Group’s share of the investment is reported in investing cash flows.
The increase in other cash payments is due to the increase in operating costs, primarily wages and salaries, and also includes the cost of cash settled performance rights under the LTIP. The cash settled portion of the LTIP was offset by the issue of new securities to raise an equivalent amount of funds. That issue is reported in the financing cash flows. As a result, the LTIP was cash neutral overall.
The distributions received from Partnerships in FY22 were $442.5 million, lower than $536.9 million received in the prior year. The Partnerships continued to distribute their net cash flows from property investment (rental income) but the primary reason for this decrease was the timing of distributions associated with the Group’s share of development activities in the Partnerships.
The timing of 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 current year included cash receipts from previously accrued portfolio performance fees; hence, overall receipts were higher than the prior year.
Investing cash flows
Investing net cash outflow was $1,001.5 million, an increase of $451.6 million compared to the prior year. During FY22, the principal investing cash outflows related to acquisitions of directly held properties in Asia and the United Kingdom of $431.7 million (2021: $192.2 million) and to investments in the Group’s Partnerships of $1,332.3 million (2021: $790.3 million). The Group received proceeds of $671.8 million from the disposals of investment properties in the United Kingdom and Australia. Capital returns from the Partnerships of $91.8 million (2021: $256.3 million) occurred after capital management initiatives in Goodman UK Partnership and Goodman North America Partnership.
Financing cash flows
Financing cash inflow (net of dividends and distributions) was $299.7 million, an increase of $1,648.8 million compared to a net cash outflow of $1,349.1 million in the prior year.
Proceeds from borrowings and derivative financial instruments were $1,466.5 million (2021: $204.6 million). This included cash inflows in respect of the the completion of a US$500 million Sustainability Linked Bond into the US144A/Regulation S debt capital market and drawdowns on the Group’s revolving bank loans of $777.3 million.
Payments on borrowings and derivative financial instruments were $789.3 million (2021: $891.9 million). This included repayments on the Group’s revolving bank loans of $768.4 million. In the prior year, the cash outflows included the redemption of US$453.8 million notes in the US144A/Regulation S market.
The net cash flow from related party loans was an inflow of $111.4 million (2021: $135.0 million net outflow). These loans are provided by the Group to fund developments in the Partnerships (including JVs) and are repaid either at completion or when the Partnership obtains its own external debt.
The net proceeds from the issue of stapled securities of $109.7 million (2021: $64.8 million) were directly used to fund obligations under the LTIP that have been reported as part of the Group’s operating cash flows.
The other principal financing cash outflows were the distributions paid to Securityholders of $557.2 million (2021: $551.4 million).

GOODMAN GROUP
Directors’ report Operating and financial review (continued)
Outlook
Goodman has developed significant expertise and a deliberate strategy to target high barrier to entry markets and to undertake larger, more complex projects over longer periods of time, providing our customers access to facilities where they are scarce and has positioned the Group well for future growth.
In the near term, market conditions are likely to be volatile and the risks associated with rising inflation, interest rates and slowing economic activity are elevated. This may impact consumers; however, they continue to seek faster and more flexible delivery, which requires ongoing intensification of warehousing in urban locations to optimise delivery and improve productivity. The business remains agile, focused on the changing consumption habits across the physical and digital space and, as a result, the evolving requirements of customers around the world.
Demand is currently exceeding supply in our markets, supporting our development-led growth strategy and producing well located assets for the Group and our Partnerships. In addition to strategic site acquisitions, the opportunities for regeneration of existing assets support our future development workbook by providing value add opportunities, while reducing our environmental impact. Our production rate, depth of customer demand and strong margins are supporting the outlook for development earnings into FY23.
In addition, the Group continues to maintain a strong balance sheet, which combined with retained income, provides significant liquidity, stability and financial resources.
The outlook for property investment and management earnings remains strong, as the customer demand and supply constraints in the Group’s markets provide support for both rental growth and a high level of occupancy. Investment and management earnings will also benefit from the completion of ongoing developments. Development completions and market rental growth are also expected to support growth in AUM.
Goodman has made a strong start to FY23 with a significant development workbook underway, continued underlying structural demand from customers and a robust capital position across the Group and Partnerships. The Board believes the Group is positioned to continue to deliver growth despite the risks associated with current market volatility and expects to achieve operating EPS growth of 11% in FY23.
The Group sets financial performance targets annually and reviews them regularly. Forecasts are subject to there being no material adverse change in market conditions or the occurrence of other unforeseen events.

ANNUAL REPORT 2022
Risks
Goodman identifies strategic and operational risks for each of its regions as part of its strategy process. The key risks, an assessment of their likelihood of occurrence and consequences and controls that are in place to mitigate the risks are reported to the Board annually.
Goodman has established formal systems and processes to manage the risks at each stage of its decision making process. This is facilitated by a Group Investment Committee comprising senior executives, chaired by the Group Chief Executive Officer, which considers all major operational decisions and transactions. The Group Investment Committee meets on a weekly basis.
The Board has separate committees to review and assess key risks. The Risk and Compliance Committee reviews and monitors a range of material risks in Goodman’s risk management systems including, among other risks, market risks, operational risks, sustainability, regulation and compliance and information technology. The Audit Committee reviews and monitors financial risk management and tax policies.
The key risks faced by Goodman and the controls that have been established to manage those risks are set out below:

ANNUAL REPORT 2022
Letter from the Chairman and the Remuneration Committee Chair
Dear Securityholders,
On behalf of the Board, we are pleased to present the 2022 remuneration report, outlining Goodman’s remuneration strategy and principles.
FY22 was another successful year for the Group, significantly exceeding financial performance expectations while making significant progress on our ESG initiatives. This has been delivered in difficult conditions. The ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, global political instability, rising inflation and higher interest rates have all presented challenges for Goodman’s business, our people, customers, investors, and the communities in which we operate and live.
The attraction and retention of talent are critical for the success of the Group and is increasingly challenging as opportunistic competitors seek to recruit high-performing teams around the world. The Group’s longstanding and consistent approach to remuneration has been a key driver of our sustained success as an international business.
Our approach is reflected in our strong financial results for FY22 including:
-
- Operating profit of $1.5 billion (+25%) for Goodman in FY22 and growth of 59% for the three year period to FY22 (which aligns with the Group’s LTIP testing period)
-
- Statutory profit of $3.4 billion for Goodman and $9.0 billion across the combined Group and Partnerships
-
- Goodman operating EPS growth of 24% materially exceeding initial expectations of 10%
-
- Significant growth in the end value of development work in progress up 28% to $13.6 billion at 30 June 2022, providing a solid base for future profitability
-
- Total AUM increasing 26% to $73.0 billion
-
- Substantial revaluation growth increasing $8.5 billion across the Group and Partnerships reflecting the quality of the portfolio and the contribution management has made to enhance its value
-
- Low leverage of 8.5% and significant liquidity of $2.8 billion providing strong financial capacity both for resilience and growth.
We have continued to reflect the importance placed on providing financial returns and operating within appropriate sustainability and environmental objectives, incorporating key targets into the operations and long-term business strategies of the Group.
2021 AGM results and subsequent securityholder engagement
Given the positive feedback from investors on the innovations introduced last year in relation to the new 10 year Long Term Incentive Plan (LTIP) for senior executives and the introduction of environmental objectives into both the five and 10 year plans, and the significant outperformance of the Group in FY21, we were disappointed at the level of support for our remuneration report and executive director grants at the 2021 AGM. The Remuneration Committee takes the result of our remuneration vote extremely seriously and has engaged with a significant proportion of our top 50 securityholders to discuss this and other governance matters. We also engaged with proxy advisory firms to better understand their views.
In response to investor feedback, we have:
-
- Retained the ten year plan for senior executives continuing significant long term alignment with securityholders
-
- Reduced the proposed quantum of awards significantly while recognising the exceptional outperformance of the Group in FY22
-
for the Group CEO, the proposed number rights under the FY23 awards have declined by 36% and the face value of the proposed award has declined by 46% relative to FY22 award
-
for other executive KMP, the proposed number of rights under the FY23 awards have declined by 20% and the face value of the proposed awards has declined by 33% relative to FY22 award
-
- Adopted significantly more challenging and competitive hurdles for operating EPS, notwithstanding the current, considerable market uncertainties, which if achieved at the top end of the range, should provide Securityholders with strong performance in both relative and absolute terms. Full vesting requires almost 60% growth in Operating Profit over four years, relative to the very strong FY22 result.
The Board is always mindful of the focus on overall remuneration levels and spends considerable time each year determining remuneration outcomes. On the one hand, we recognise the need to attract, retain and incentivise our employees while, on the other hand, meet the range of expectations of our Securityholders. This is evidenced by the fact that, notwithstanding the outstanding performance achieved in FY22, the Board intends to grant a significantly reduced number of performance rights to the Group CEO and other executive KMP in FY23 while making the hurdles more challenging. We look forward to receiving your views and support at our 2022 AGM.
Yours sincerely,

1. REMUNERATION GOVERNANCE
1.1 The role of the Board and Remuneration Committee
The Board and the Remuneration Committee is responsible for the structure of the remuneration of the Group’s employees and for the specific pay of the Group CEO and other KMP. In setting these, the Board considers remuneration with a five to ten-year horizon. 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.
1.2 Key activities of the Remuneration Committee for FY22

----- End of picture text -----
The Board:
-
- Encourages management to take a long-term strategic view rather than opportunistic approach to property investment
-
- Expect the senior leadership team to accept collective responsibility for the outcomes
-
- 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 FY22, the Remuneration Committee has considered
-
- Feedback from Securityholder engagement
-
- The significant operational and financial outperformance of the Group
-
- The specifics of individual performance.
These have been assessed in the context of the ongoing challenges presented by COVID-19, the significant volatility and inflationary conditions affecting the global operating environment and particularly construction and development. Given the nature of the Group’s global operations the Remuneration Committee has considered the impact of strong competitor activity in our sector on attracting and retaining employees.
Refinements to the LTIP this year aim to better balance Securityholder and employee outcomes while continuing to reinforce Goodman’s longterm decision making. This is in line with the evolution of the business and operational strategy, as well as providing competitive remuneration to attract and retain high quality people.
Following significant enhancements to the Remuneration plan in 2021, the Remuneration Committee has made additional changes for the FY23 awards, in response to investor feedback. Key decisions made and items considered in the determination of FY22 remuneration, include the following:
-
- The quantum of Long Term Incentive (LTI) awards has been reviewed and in determining these, consideration of both face value and economic value have been taken into account. Subsequently, there has been a significant reduction in the number of performance rights and the face value of proposed FY23 awards:
-
for the Group CEO, the number rights has declined by 36% and the face value of the proposed award has declined by 46% relative to FY22 awards
-
for other executive KMP, the number of rights has declined by 20% and the face value of the proposed award has declined by 33% relative to FY22 awards
-
- 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 FY22 performance will be in the form of LTI. In general, LTI remains the significant focus of remuneration awards across the Group
-
- Continued the issuance of LTI awards under the ten-year plan for the Group CEO, executive KMP and other senior executives
-
- Continued to make the five-year LTIP plan available to the balance of employees
-
- Further increase in challenge and outperformance required to achieve hurdles. For the maximum vesting to occur on the operating EPS linked portion of the plan, a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11% per annum must be achieved over four years; this equates to almost 60% growth in Operating Profit in FY26 relative to the very strong FY22 result
-
- Additional environmental and sustainability targets have been included in the FY23 performance right testing conditions.
Changes are also proposed to the Non-Executive Director annual fee pool to be considered at the 2022 AGM, to facilitate greater use of committees, keep fees in line with market levels, manage Board succession and accommodate the potential appointment of additional Directors’. This is the first change in the Directors’ fee pool since 2006.

2. REMUNERATION STRATEGY
Goodman is one of the largest listed industrial real estate fund managers and developers globally. The Group’s people are largely based outside Australia. The remuneration structure reflects the requirements in the highly competitive labour markets the Group operates in globally, not just in Australia, and the objective of aligning multiple regional businesses and operational segments with a global strategy and pay for performance outcomes.
A significant proportion of the value of the Group, reflected in the $17.7 billion premium between the security price of $17.84 at 30 June 2022 and Goodman’s net tangible assets per security of $8.37, 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 consistently and at all levels that has positioned the Group to sustainably grow the cash generation measure of the business that is encapsulated by Operating Profit (as described in the section 3.5.5).
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 high-performing teams around the world. 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.
The Group’s remuneration structure, in particular the focus on equity based reward, has been a key component of its success as an international organisation. The Board believes aligning all employees 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 created by COVID-19 and global political and capital markets volatility, as it binds all employees together as owners of the business and is a powerful incentive and driver of operational resilience.

GOODMAN GROUP
Directors’ report
Remuneration report – audited (continued)
2.1 Key remuneration principles
Continuing alignment of remuneration in line with Group strategy, structural changes and 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). The Group’s capital and resource allocations shift over time in response to variable market circumstances. The effect of these strategies take time to manifest, 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 that the Board considers to be most relevant:
-
- Focus on LTI as the predominant source of pay for performance for senior members and a material factor for all employees of 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 3.5.4), 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)
-
Goodman’s remuneration structure results in a significantly higher proportion of pay in the form of equity-based performance awards (87% for the Group CEO versus around 45% for S&P/ASX20 and S&P/ASX100 CEO’s). As a consequence, despite only 25% of LTI testing against relative total securityholder return (TSR), employees have significant alignment and exposure to TSR outcomes versus typical remuneration structures. In addition, Operating Profit which determines operating EPS is a cash based measure which management globally can have a tangible influence on. Importantly operating EPS is the underlying value driver for Goodman and will ultimately align with TSR outcomes over the longer term
Business evolution requires long remuneration time frames to align outcomes
Goodman’s business has evolved significantly over the past 13 years since the introduction of the LTIP. Our increased focus on urban infill markets with their significant increase in complexity has led to longer development horizons to maximise outcomes which have delivered significant rewards to investors. 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
-
- The Group’s approach to development considers the lifecycle of an 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 environmental sustainability aspirations into the Group’s operational activities requires significant time periods (often beyond five years) for implementation. Goodman’s approach to community, environmental sustainability and wellbeing are long-term aspirations aligned with the financial sustainability objectives.
In the Board’s view, the long-term nature of the structural trends impacting the sector, the Group’s approach to real estate investment in relation to this, and investor feedback, supports continuation of the LTIP structure. The 10 year plan for the Group CEO, other executive KMP and other senior executives in the organisation, will continue to influence decision making and closely align with the time periods required to deliver superior operational results on a sustainable basis. It also provides sufficient time to implement key ESG initiatives and achieve the Group’s targets, particularly in relation to longer-dated environmental and sustainability objectives, in a manner that creates alignment with the outcomes for Securityholders. The five-year LTIP is longer than most in the S&P/ASX 100 and remains in place for all eligible employees who do not participate in the ten-year plan but will include hurdles aligned with the ten-year plan.
-
- Securityholders are the beneficiaries of the Group-wide outcomes. Collaboration is required to achieve Group-wide targets across regions and business units. Remuneration should engender a collective responsibility for the consolidated outcomes which can facilitate decision making that leads to the optimal allocation of resources between locations and activity types to pursue the most appropriate opportunities at different points in time
-
- A culture of ownership, inclusion and alignment, where all employees experience investment returns aligned with Securityholders creates stability which reduces turnover
-
- Balancing reward and retention with long-term cost to Securityholders at respective levels of performance.

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 employees throughout the organisation. In respect of the Group CEO, all of his at risk remuneration is in the form of LTI.
This is demonstrated in the charts below that consider the vested remuneration received during FY22. Vested remuneration represents the value that is received during FY22. It includes fixed base pay, STI and the value of performance rights that vested during FY22 (from prior grants) using the closing Goodman security price on the day of vesting.
The Board believes that this demonstrates the alignment of the remuneration outcomes for the Group CEO with the outcomes for Securityholders, who have experienced strong performance over a significant period alongside the Group CEO. Had the Securityholder returns been lower, the level of at risk remuneration would have been lower (due to lower vesting outcomes and lower value of vesting performance rights) and fixed remuneration would have made up a greater proportion of the total vested remuneration in FY22 for all employees, but especially for the Group CEO and the other executive KMP.

3.3 When is remuneration earned and received?
The chart below illustrates the timing of receipt of the remuneration components for executive KMP. Performance goals under the ten-year plan must be achieved over a period of four years to qualify for performance-based pay. Vesting then occurs in seven equal tranches from years four to ten. There is no certainty of vesting and the final cash outcome is dependent on the movement in the security price over the next ten years.

Questions
Who is eligible All full-time and part-time permanent employees.

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 compared to market based

How is the The Board sets budget targets for the business annually. These targets are set relative to the market conditions, earnings visibility, financial

STI for all staff is subject to: (1) meeting behavioural expectations under the Group Code of Conduct; (2) achieving operating EPS (based on
the annual target for the relevant year which is disclosed to the market at the beginning of the year in the form of “guidance” (3) financial and
operational assessment; and (4) assessment against environmental and sustainability targets.
How is the STI rewards annual performance against objectives of the individual and the Group.
individual STI The Group objectives include multiple factors as set from time to time, dependent on the market and strategy of the Group. Overall Group
award determined? 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.
Consideration is also given to the total remuneration package with a view to retaining and appropriately aligning and motivating employees.
Is there The executive KMP STI awards are subject to 50% deferral for 12 months from the date of publication of Goodman’s financial statements.
malus/clawback? 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 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
into equity? 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 STI For all executive KMP, the deferred portion of STI award is subject to immediate forfeiture in circumstances where employees are dismissed
upon termination? 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 -----
3.5 Long-term incentive
The LTIP is an equity plan where rewards are at risk and dependent on 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. The threshold target with respect to operating EPS (where only 25% of performance rights vest) is significantly ahead of estimates for the S&P/ASX 100 and S&P/ASX200 REIT sector
-
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.
-
Performance rights represent a small portion of the Group equity and a small percentage of the value created for Securityholders if they vest
The key terms of both plans are set out overleaf.

Operating EPS is a critical measure of long-term Group-wide performance of the operations (see section 3.5.5).
The hurdles are set to be competitive and challenging relative to external and internal historical and prospective reference points (see section 3.5.4).
TSR provides an effective check against increasing risk practices within the Group in that 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.
The proposed FY23 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 can apply 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.

ANNUAL REPORT 2022
3.5.4 Setting operating EPS hurdles for proposed ten-year plan awards to the Group CEO, other executive KMP and other senior executives
The operating EPS target range under the ten-year plan is only for the purpose of testing criteria for vesting of performance rights. The range does not constitute earnings guidance for the Group.
The hurdles are set in line with the “pay for performance” culture and the desire for them to be both challenging and competitive while maintaining the integrity of the business strategy and risk management objectives in a sustainable manner.
More challenging hurdles have been set for the FY23 performance rights awards when compared to recent years. The Board has set an operating EPS performance hurdle for operating EPS growth relative to the FY22 result of 81.3 cents of between 102.7 cents (Threshold level) and 123.4 cents (Upper Level) in FY26. 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 11% CAGR in operating EPS or approximately 26% to 52% cumulative growth over the four year testing period.
The range has been set with particular reference to:
-
- The significant proportion of the Group’s revenue over the next four years, being at risk in the sense that it is not currently contracted and subject to a wide number of variables, particularly in regard to development activities and performance fees
-
- The range of potential real estate opportunities for the Group globally, given the Group’s risk parameters and concentrated locations of operation
-
- The long-run historical performance of the Group, noting that previous history is not a reflection of future earnings
-
- Increased volatility across the global economic and political environment which are manifesting in higher cost inflation, slower real GDP growth rates and higher interest rates
-
- The ongoing potential for disruption to business activity resulting from COVID-19.
Consistent with the Board’s aim to set hurdles which are both challenging for management and competitive against peers, it is believed that achievement at or above the top end of the range will represent a strong performance in both relative and absolute terms. For the Upper Level vesting to occur on the Operating EPS linked portion of the plan, almost 60% growth in operating profit relative to the very strong FY22 result needs to be achieved over the next four years.
The Board believes that the hurdles are competitive and challenging for the following reasons:
-
- Goodman’s operating EPS grew strongly over FY20, FY21 and FY22, despite the impact of COVID over the period (no hurdles were amended to adjust for COVID during this period). This has resulted in a significantly higher base year from which to measure operating EPS growth compared with peer groups. For the 3 year period from FY19-FY22:
-
The Group has grown operating EPS by 56%
-
The average growth for the S&P/ASX 100 is approximately 24%
-
The S&P/ASX 200 REIT’s EPS declined by an average of approximately 14%
-
- The strong growth in earnings in FY22, combined with the higher hurdles for Upper Level vesting means that a significant acceleration of growth in operating profit is required to achieve full vesting (relative to that embedded within the FY22 grants). By way of comparison, an extrapolation of the growth rates contained within the FY22 grants to FY26 and applying the previous Upper Level hurdle rate would have resulted in an operating profit benchmark that is over $300 million lower than that which will now be applicable for FY26 under the new hurdles to be applied to the FY23 grant (see table below)

| $M | $M |

-
- Performance at “Target” hurdle level (CAGR in operating EPS of 8-9% for the 4 years to FY26 pa) is in line with aspirational objectives the Board believes are appropriate (which take into account the risk management constraints of the Group the Board believes appropriate for the business, given the context of the global economic and political environment, higher interest rates, inflation, cost of capital and risk settings). It is contingent upon increased activity levels and market conditions remaining favourable. Importantly the Target hurdles are in excess of peers (see below) and broker research estimates for the Group (CAGR of approximately 8%)

GOODMAN GROUP
Directors’ report
Remuneration report – audited (continued)
-
- Performance at the threshold hurdle level (CAGR in operating EPS of 6% pa for the 4 years to FY26) for performance rights vesting to start has been set such that it requires performance in excess of relevant peer groups (S&P/ASX 100 (current market consensus expectations average 0%pa) and S&P/ASX200 REIT’s (current market consensus expectations average 4% per annum) but would only result in 25% vesting. Under this scenario it is estimated that the remuneration outcomes will be well below the median for the above peer groups and the ASX100
-
- Performance at the Upper Level hurdle (CAGR in operating EPS of 11% for the four years to FY26) would require outcomes significantly ahead of internal targets and significantly (3% per annum) higher than market consensus expectations (this equates to an additional circa $200 million in operating profit in FY26 compared to the average broker research consensus)
-
- The hurdles reflect approximately 50% relative earnings growth outperformance compared to estimates for the S&P/ASX100 and require the Group to absorb the risk associated with the significant increase in volatility in the global operating environment, interest rates and inflation.
The Board believes the higher FY22 hurdle is significantly more challenging given the current economic environment. The hurdles are set for the entire period of the plan 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, geo-political tensions and impacts on supply chains, and global economic activity.
In addition, 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. This is reflected in the relatively low gearing of the Group and its other risk settings. Taking into account the difference in gearing, the FY23 hurdles are relatively high compared to peers.
3.5.5 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 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. This is not subject to accounting estimation and is a more reliable measure
-
- 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
| Ten-Year plan | CAGR | Ten-Year plan | |
|---|---|---|---|
| operating | in EPS1 | Cumulative | |
| LTI hurdle period | EPS hurdles | FY23 – | growth in EPS1 |

ANNUAL REPORT 2022
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 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 align with SBP expense
-
- Following successful testing at years three or four (for the five year plan and ten-year plan respectively), 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.
Use of cash settled “Phantom” performance rights
In certain jurisdictions, it is impractical to issue performance rights which vest into Goodman securities. In these instances, cash settled Phantom performance rights are issued, with the same economic outcome 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.
3.6 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.

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 the organisation and that this has been strongly reflected in the Group’s performance over many years and particularly through COVID-19. Behaviour and adherence to the Group’s Code of Conduct have always been a prerequisite to entitlement to vested LTI and since 2021, additional hurdles for vesting, related to our environmental and sustainability targets have been incorporated into intended awards.
-
- The Board will review progress on targets annually and set review long term targets each year as they relate to the new testing period
-
- 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 formally at the end of the testing period (year four for the ten-year plan)
-
- 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.

ANNUAL REPORT 2022
3.7 Considerations for setting of awards
The Board is 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. In assessing the Group CEO and other executive KMP remuneration for FY22, the Board has given consideration to:
-
- Feedback from investor engagement following the disappointing level of support at the November 2021 AGM for remuneration related matters
-
- Maintaining the general structure and principles of the Group’s remuneration strategy
-
- The Group’s relative performance against operational targets FY22
-
- The Group’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
-
- Balancing employee and Securityholder outcomes
-
- Hurdles and testing criteria for performance rights.
The Board has assessed outcomes for Securityholders, based on the testing criteria under the five and ten-year plan and that the pay for performance alignment is with all Goodman employees (all permanent employees, 1020 people, are eligible to participate in the LTIP). Based on the proposed hurdles, the Board believes that significant balance and alignment exists between the cost of the plan and net outcomes achieved for Securityholders as demonstrated below (see note 4 below):
-
- before any performance awards are realised under the ten-year plan hurdles, significant Securityholder value, that equates to $11 billion in market capitalisation growth, must be created, consistent with >33% TSR over the period (all other things being equal and based on the assumptions set out in the table below)
-
- The maximum employee share of the value created will occur if the awards fully vest through reaching the cumulative 11% CAGR in operating EPS after four years and the relative TSR performance is at the 90th percentile. This represents only 3.1% of the $19 billion value potentially created for Securityholders (net of dilution) or 52% potential security price growth (all other things being equal). This would result in approximately 60% TSR
-
- If growth were to exceed 11% per annum and the security price grows beyond the assumption above, the employee share diminishes relative to Securityholders.

3.7.1 Considerations for award quantum – Goodman Group in context
The Board and Remuneration Committee have considered the entire enterprise of the Group and its Partnerships globally, when assessing the executives’ roles and remuneration awards.
In this context, Goodman:
-
- Is an international real estate fund manager
-
- Reported $3.4 billion statutory profit, and a combined statutory profit across the Group and Partnerships of $9.0 billion in FY22
-
- Delivered $8.5 billion in valuation growth across the Group and Partnerships in FY22
-
- Reported NTA of $8.37, with gearing of 8.5% and available liquidity of $2.8 billion
-
- Is the largest listed specialist developer of logistics real estate in the world, with $13.6 billion of WIP
-
- Manages and creates value across of $73 billion of assets globally which has almost doubled in the past 5 years
-
- Manages capital allocation and funding across various activity types, which is sourced from multiple jurisdictions
-
- Has grown to $33.3 billion market capitalisation at 30 June 2022 and is a member of the S&P/ASX 20 index
-
- Generates 71% 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 1,025 employees at 30 June 2022, 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 FY22, the Board has referenced:
-
- 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
-
the nature of pay for performance remuneration structures is highly equity based and outcome-driven similar to the Group’s remuneration structure and
-
the period of testing and realisation of remuneration is linked to investor outcomes over significant periods up to ten years, again a similar 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
-
- Prologis and Segro are relevant global peers from the logistics real estate sector, albeit Segro is predominantly in the UK
-
Prologis is larger by market capitalisation and assets, but Goodman has a more significant proportion of earnings from development and Management activities
-
Segro is smaller, and predominantly UK focused, with small proportion of its assets in Europe whereas Goodman operates in 14 countries globally
-
The range of Remuneration outcomes are approximately
-
$10 million-$37 million for these two companies.

1. Based on proposed FY23 Award.
In the Board’s view, the competitive environment for logistics assets and consequently also for teams with skills to develop and manage the products and services over the long term, has intensified significantly over the past 24 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 also assessed the FY22 awards in this context.
3.7.2 Considerations for award quantum – structure
Given the variability in the components of remuneration structures in the market, Goodman’s comparator group analysis of value and quantum of awards is assessed 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 FY23 to provide substantially increased challenges (and risk of achievement) for all employees and to achieve a high degree of alignment and balance with Securityholder outcomes
-
- Performance rights awarded under the LTIP do not have any voting rights or rights to dividends until vested, even after passing testing hurdles
-
- Significant financial outperformance in FY22 versus targets and continued outperformance of peer Group over three and five years.
While not the primary measure this year, the Board has considered the economic value of performance rights when allocating awards to employees, as this is a relevant component for how employees and the Board look at value. Employees make commercial assessments of the equity awards based on:
-
- 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 over the testing period and the more challenging hurdles set by the Board
-
- A further discount for time value of money differential given the vesting of the rights occurs over ten years.

GOODMAN GROUP
Directors’ report Remuneration report – audited (continued)
However, as discussed previously, with respect to quantum, the Board has predominantly made final comparison of the awards based on face value. On this basis 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 above, it is considered that an appropriate benchmark for the Group CEO’s remuneration is around A$20 million ($10 million economic value).
The Boards proposed award for the Group CEO is detailed below:
| Performance Rights |
Price at 30 June |
Face Value (25% vesting) $M |
Face Value (100% vesting) $M |
Fixed Remuneration $M |
Total Remuneration (25% vesting) $M |
Total Remuneration (100% vesting) $M |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| FY22 CEO 1,000,000 FY21 CEO 1,560,000 % Change -36% |
$17.84 $21.17 |
4.5 8.3 -46% |
17.8 33.0 -46% |
1.4 1.4 0% |
5.9 9.7 -39% |
19.2 34.4 -44% |
Group CEO maximum possible outcomes for FY22 versus FY21
Based on the proposed award, the maximum face value of remuneration which can be received by the Group CEO, (over ten years), if 100% vesting occurs, is 46% lower than the equivalent award last year, noting that FY22 was the strongest financial performance in the Group’s history.
-
- At Threshold performance, (6% pa CAGR in operating EPS for the 4 years to FY26), the Group will have
-
significantly outperformed S&P/ASX100 EPS growth estimates over the 4 years to FY26 (56% outperformance)
-
significantly outperformed S&P/ASX100 REIT EPS growth estimates over the 4 years to FY26 (32% outperformance)
-
- CEO potential remuneration, (all else being equal) to be received over a further 7 years would be $5.9 million, lower than the median of the S&P/ASX20, the S&P/ASX100 REIT’s and the S&P/ASX100 average
-
- At the Upper level, (11% pa CAGR in operating EPS for the 4 years to FY26), the Group will have also
-
significantly outperformed analyst broker estimates (Visible Alpha) for the Group (7.8% pa CAGR in EPS for the 4 years to FY26)
-
delivered 59% TSR to securityholders
-
- CEO potential remuneration, (all else being equal) to be received over a further 7 years would be $19 million, still below various global and local peers as per the table above
In economic value terms, the award is estimated to be $8.4 million using the valuation methodology employed by Deloitte (an international accounting firm) (see below). Applying this same methodology to the FY21 award means that the economic value is down 28%.
3.7.3 Valuation of performance rights (Economic Value) 10 year grants
The Board engaged Deloitte (an international accounting firm) to assist in the determination of an economic value for the performance rights. A modified 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.
For the determination of the discount rate, a single discount rate was determined having regard for a Discount for Lack of Marketability and the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) framework. The economic valuation has included the probability of achieving the TSR and EPS measures, which are based on historical statistical analysis. This economic valuation returned a value of $8.40 per right as at June 2022. This same methodology applied to the grants made in 2021 would have returned a valuation of $7.47 per right as at June 2021.
The economic value of the performance rights is determined on a different basis to the fair value of the performance rights for accounting purposes.

ANNUAL REPORT 2022
4. GROUP PERFORMANCE AND OUTCOMES
The Group has delivered and exceptional result, significantly outperforming the original estimates notwithstanding the challenging operating conditions and market volatility. Despite the volatility in the global equity markets, Goodman’s security price has continued to demonstrate a significant premium to underlying net assets and therefore the value creation by employees and subsequently medium and longer term outperformance of the peer group indices.
The Group’s remuneration strategy, focused on long-term outcomes, is the key driver of this sustained performance.

- Concentration of the portfolio on logistics real estate in urban infill markets, where supply is limited, and demand is relatively high due to the long term structural trends that have been identified many years ago
-
- 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 several years, including:
-
- Significant reduction in financial leverage (gearing) with the target gearing range reduced to 0% to 25% and retaining a position below the mid-point in the past five years
-
- Increased quality of the property portfolio through $30 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 the 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 over recent years. 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
-
- Investment in innovation and technology to provide knowledge of potential future risks and opportunities for our operations.
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 2022
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 13.5%, which has exceeded forecasts. 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.

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 FY22 performance will be awarded in the form of performance rights.
Given the global nature of the Group’s operations, the recommendations for the other 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.
It should be noted that based on the Group and individual performances in FY22, other executive KMP were eligible for the maximum STI.

ANNUAL REPORT 2022
4.4.3 LTI outcomes
Testing as at 30 June 2022 was completed for the grants of performance rights made to executive KMP in respect of executive KMP performance in FY19 (called FY20 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 FY20 awards had two hurdles: operating EPS and a relative TSR, both measured over the three years ended 30 June 2022. The mechanics of the testing are detailed in section 3.5.
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 operating EPS dilution. Operating EPS growth for the three year period to 30 June 2022 was 57.6%, compared to a cumulative target of 29.5% at the upper level of the threshold.
==> picture [532 x 31] intentionally omitted <==
----- Start of picture text -----
Threshold level Upper level Actual Outperformance Outcome
FY19 LTIP grant – Operating EPS hurdle [1 ] 61.4 cents 66.8 cents 81.3 cents 14.5 cents 100%
----- End of picture text -----
- Testing period for grant: EPS growth from 1 July 2019 to 30 June 2022. At the threshold level, 25% satisfy the hurdle with a sliding scale up to 100% satisfying the hurdle at the upper level.
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 20.5% to 30 June 2022, under the LTIP TSR calculation methodology. This ranked Goodman in the 68th percentile against the S&P/ASX 100 and consequently 84% of these performance rights vested.
==> picture [533 x 31] intentionally omitted <==
----- Start of picture text -----
Goodman TSR [1] S&P/ASX 100 TSR [1] Percentile Outcome
FY19 LTIP grant – TSR hurdle [1] 20.5% 16.0% 68th 84%
----- End of picture text -----
- Testing period for grant: 1 July 2019 to 30 June 2022, in accordance with the LTIP the TSR is based on the 10 day volume weighted average price (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 operating EPS hurdle and 84% of the relative TSR hurdle, a total of 10,296,905 equity settled performance rights will vest in September 2022, September 2023 and September 2024. In addition, 2,837,750 cash settled performance rights will also vest. The Group currently intends to issue the equivalent number of new securities to satisfy those obligations in the future.

ANNUAL REPORT 2022
The charts below demonstrate the performance of the Group and various key metrics relative to the Group CEO’s vested remuneration outcomes in FY22 and prior years. They illustrate that the significant operating profit growth, security price growth and consequently returns for Securityholders over the testing and vesting periods, correlate with increased Group CEO remuneration over time. Despite significant market volatility and price movement in FY22, the market price of securities between the time of the grant and the time of vesting has seen significant growth, and the Group CEO (and all recipients of the LTIP) has participated in this performance alongside Securityholders.
==> picture [395 x 229] intentionally omitted <==
The table below includes awarded remuneration at grant date and the vested remuneration over the past five years for the Group CEO. The figures 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 169% for grants vesting in FY22).

ANNUAL REPORT 2022
4.5 LTI grants in relation to FY22 performance
The remuneration proposed by the Board in respect of the executive KMP performance in FY22 comprise fixed remuneration, STI awards and awards under the LTIP.
As discussed in earlier sections, the Board has decided to reduce the number of performance rights to be issued to the Group CEO and other executive KMP under the LTIP. The Board has taken into account the face value of the grants and their economic value in making its determination. The Board believes that the significant reduction will find a new balance between the interests of Securityholders and the recipients. The Board also believes that this will not adversely impact the motivations of the recipients.
The table below lists the maximum number of performance rights which could vest if the maximum hurdles are met over the four years ending 30 June 2026. The minimum vesting percentage is 0% if the threshold 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 2026 with the last tranche vesting ten years from initial grant, in September 2032.
The grants that the Board intends to make in September 2022 and proposes to make for Executive Directors after the AGM (subject to Securityholder approval) in respect of the executive KMP performance in FY22, are detailed below. The FY23 performance rights awards reflect:
-
A reduction in the number of rights for the Group CEO of 36% and other executive KMP of 20%
-
A reduction in the face value for the Group CEO of 46% and 33% for other executive KMP.

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 are set considering 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 AGM, total remuneration (including superannuation) payable by Goodman to all Non-Executive Directors in aggregate must not exceed $2.5 million per annum. For FY22, total Non-Executive Directors’ remuneration was $2.4 million (2021: $2.4 million). With the recent appointments, increasing size and depth of operations of the Group, and responsibilities of Directors, the Group will be seeking an increase in permitted Non-Executive Director fee pool at the 2022 AGM.
-
The Board has approved the establishment of a Sustainability and Innovation Committee which will be constituted in FY23.
-
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.
5.2 Board and committee annual fees
The Board and committee fees that applied for FY22 are set out below:
| Audit | Risk and Compliance | Remuneration | Nomination | |

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.
Footnotes to the executive KMP remuneration table:
-
Salary and fees represent the amounts due under the terms of executives’ service contracts and include movements in annual leave provisions.
-
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 changes in long service leave provisions and in the prior year, car parking and reportable fringe benefits.
-
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 2022, the balance at 30 June 2022 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 (2021: $20,149). The notional interest amount has been 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 for each of the tranches 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 S&P/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 year equalled the percentage of securities issued during the year.
-
The value of performance rights vested was calculated using the closing price of a Goodman security on the ASX of $22.96 on 1 September 2021, 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.

GOODMAN GROUP
Directors’ report
(continued)
Environmental regulations
Goodman has policies and procedures to identify and appropriately address environmental obligations that might arise in respect of Goodman’s operations that are subject to significant environmental laws and regulation. The Directors have determined that Goodman has complied with those obligations during the financial year and that there has not been any material breach.
Declaration by the Group Chief Executive Officer and Group Chief Financial Officer
The Group Chief Executive Officer and Group Chief Financial Officer declared in writing to the Board that, in their opinion, the financial records of Goodman for the year ended 30 June 2022 have been properly maintained and the financial report for the year ended 30 June 2022 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.
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 78 and forms part of this Directors’ report for the financial year.
Goodman has insured to the extent permitted by law, current and former Directors and officers of Goodman in respect of liability and legal expenses incurred in their capacity as a director or officer. As it is prohibited under the terms of the contract of insurance, the Directors have not included details of the nature of the liabilities covered or the amount of the premiums paid.
The auditors of Goodman are not indemnified by Goodman or covered in any way by this insurance in respect of the audit.
76
ANNUAL REPORT 2022
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.

ANNUAL REPORT 2022
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.
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 16 August 2022.
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.
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
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 controlled foreign operation are recognised in the foreign currency translation reserve on consolidation.

Changes in accounting policies
A fundamental reform of major interest rate benchmarks is being undertaken globally, including the replacement of some interbank offered rates (IBORs) with alternative risk-free rates (referred to as IBOR reform). The Group has adopted Interest Rate Benchmark Reform – Phase 2 (Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39, IFRS 7, IFRS 4 and IFRS 16) from 1 July 2021. These amendments provide reliefs relating to modifications of financial instruments and lease contracts or hedging relationships triggered by a replacement of a benchmark interest rate in a contract with a new alternative benchmark rate. The Group applied the Phase 2 amendments retrospectively. However, in accordance with the exceptions permitted in the Phase 2 amendments, the Group has elected not to restate comparatives for the prior periods to reflect the application of these amendments.
The overall impact of the IBOR reform is not significant in the context of Goodman’s financial position and performance.
See note 18 for related disclosures about risks, financial assets and financial liabilities indexed to IBORs.
Apart from the above, the AASB has also issued other amendments to standards that are first effective from 1 July 2021 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.

ANNUAL REPORT 2022
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.

GOODMAN GROUP
Notes to the consolidated financial statements
Results for the year (continued) 2 Profit before income tax (continued)
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 masterplanning, 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 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.

ANNUAL REPORT 2022
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 (including the Hong Kong SAR) and Japan), Continental Europe (with the vast majority of assets located in Germany and France), the United Kingdom and the Americas (principally North America and including 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 share 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.
The accounting policies used to report segment information are the same as those used to prepare the consolidated financial statements of Goodman and GIT.
For the purpose of operating segment reporting, there are no material intersegment revenues and costs.
Information regarding the operations of each reportable segment is included on the following pages.

ANNUAL REPORT 2022
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.

(e) Taxation of GIT
Under current Australian income tax legislation, the Trust is not liable for income tax, including capital gains tax, provided that Securityholders are presently entitled to the distributable income of the Trust as calculated for trust law purposes. The controlled entities of the Trust that operate in certain foreign jurisdictions are liable to pay tax in those jurisdictions.

GOODMAN GROUP
Notes to the consolidated financial statements
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.
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 two 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 receivables in the statement of financial position.
Components of investment properties
Land and buildings (including integral plant and equipment) comprising investment properties are regarded as composite assets and are disclosed as such in the consolidated financial report.

At 30 June 2022, the total property assets of $18,528.7 million included properties that have been repositioned and were subject to conditional contracts for disposal. As discussed in the Directors’ report on page 19, the Group’s share of valuation gains since the repositioning activities commenced, was $429.6 million (2021: $95.9 million).
(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/or 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. The number of sales and the circumstances of each sale are assessed to determine whether a market segment is active or inactive.

Where a market segment is observed to be active, then external independent valuations are performed for stabilised investment properties where there has been a combination of factors that are likely to have resulted in a material movement in valuation. The considerations include a greater than 10% movement in market rents, more than a 25 basis point movement in capitalisation rates, 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), significant capital expenditure, a change in use (or zoning), a development has reached completion/stabilisation of the asset or it has been two 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:
-
- Current contractual lease terms
-
- Current market rents
-
- Projected growth in market rents
-
- Expected and likely capital expenditures
-
- Projected letting up incentives provided to customers and vacant time on expiry of leases
The overall weighted average capitalisation rates for the divisional portfolios (including Partnerships) are as set out in the table below:
| Total | portfolio weighted average | portfolio weighted average | capitalisation rate | capitalisation rate | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Division Australia and Zealand |
New | Goodman 2022 % 3.9 |

In respect of the Group’s and GIT’s directly held investment properties at 30 June 2022, 57% (2021: 59%) and 100% (2021: 78%), respectively, had been valued by an external independent valuer during the financial year. All independent valuers used by the Group are required to hold a recognised and relevant professional qualification and have recent experience in the location and category of the investment properties being valued.
For the Partnerships, all properties bar one that had been stabilised investment properties throughout FY22 were valued by an external independent valuer during the financial year.
Sensitivity analysis
-
- Discount rates – 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 continued to be strong during FY22, despite the increased interest rates in the last quarter of FY22. At 30 June 2022, 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.
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 2022 are most sensitive to the following inputs:
-
- Capitalisation rates
-
- Market rents
-
- Incentives provided to customers and/or vacant time on expiry of leases.
The directly held stabilised investment properties are in Australia and Asia. The range of market rents and average capitalisation rates are summarised in the table below:
| Valuation | Significant | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| technique | unobservable inputs | 2022 | 2021 |

Investment properties under development
For the directly held investment properties under development, external independent valuations are generally not performed, but instead valuations are determined at each reporting date using the feasibility assessments supporting the developments. The end values of the developments in the feasibility assessments are based on assumptions such as capitalisation rates, market rents, incentives provided to customers and vacant time 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 are 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 35%. 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.
In respect of the Partnerships, certain Partnerships obtain external independent valuations of investment properties under development at reporting dates. However, the majority determine the fair values at reporting dates by reference to the feasibility assessments, with external independent valuations obtained when the properties has been stabilised.

(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.
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 Partnerships are accounted for using the equity method. Under this method, Goodman’s investment is initially recognised at cost. Subsequent to initial recognition, the consolidated financial statements include Goodman’s share of the gains or losses and other comprehensive income of Partnerships until the date on which significant influence or joint control ceases.

Other JVs included a development JV in Australia where GAIP has paid Goodman a refundable fee of $22.6 million for an option to acquire a 40% interest in the JV from the Group. At 30 June 2022, the transaction is conditional on certain matters and settlement would only occur on stabilisation of certain development properties in the JV. Therefore, the disposal transaction had not been reflected in the Group’s results at 30 June 2022. The investment carrying amount at 30 June 2022 and the Group’s share of the fair value adjustment attributable to the properties in the JV for the year ended 30 June 2022 were aligned with to the disposal price under the option deed.

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.

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 $nil (2021: $12.5 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
In June 2022, the Group entered into a conditional contract to dispose of three controlled entities which own two investment properties. As the conditions under the contracts had not been satisfied as at 30 June 2022, the directly held assets and liabilities to be disposed have been presented as a disposal group held for sale.
Assets and liabilities of disposal group held for sale
At 30 June 2022, the disposal group was held at the lower of carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell, and comprised the following assets and liabilities within the Australia and New Zealand segment:
| $M | ||
|---|---|---|
| Receivables | 2.5 | |
| Investment properties | 609.3 | |
| Payables | (3.6) | |
| Assets held for sale | 608.2 |
No impairment losses have been recognised in FY22 in respect of the disposal group.
In the prior year, assets held for sale amounting to $41.5 million comprised an investment property in Australia. The disposal of the investment property was completed in FY22.

ANNUAL REPORT 2022
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.

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 rate 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.

ANNUAL REPORT 2022
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 cashgenerating 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:
| Goodman | Goodman | |
|---|---|---|

ANNUAL REPORT 2022
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.
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.
| Continental Europe | United Kingdom | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Value in use (A$M) | 2022 | 2,444.3 | 191.8 |
| 2021 | 2,344.9 | 161.1 | |

| Average annual growth in AUM | 2022 | 7.7% | 13.2% |
| 2021 | 8.0% | 21.6% |
All amounts were calculated in local currency and translated to Australian dollars at the closing exchange rate at the end of the financial period. Averages related to average amounts over the five-year forecast period.
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 0.60 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$1.28 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 0.12 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$0.51 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 7.7% (2021: 8.0%) over the forecast period is consistent with the prior year assumption. 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, property values are expected to be stable over the period and no portfolio performance revenue is assumed.
For United Kingdom, the average annual increase in AUM of 13.2% (2021:21.6%) is lower than the prior year forecast due to the stabilisation of developments during FY22 i.e. a higher starting AUM position. The UK Partnerships are developing several sites that underpin the projected growth over the five-year period. For the purpose of the forecasts, property values are expected to be stable over the period.
Assumptions impacting the terminal year
| Continental Europe | United Kingdom | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Growth rate applied to future cash flows (per annum) | 2022 | 2.3% | 2.8% |
| 2021 | 0.4% | 1.5% | |
| Development in terminal year (million square metres) | 2022 | 0.60 | 0.14 |
| 2021 | 0.60 | 0.19 | |
| Development in terminal year (cost in A$B) | 2022 | 1.34 | 0.55 |
| 2021 | 0.92 | 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.

15 Net finance (expense)/income
Interest income and expense are recognised using the effective interest rate method.
Finance costs relating to a qualifying asset are capitalised as part of the cost of that asset using a weighted average cost of debt. Qualifying assets are assets which take a substantial time to get ready for their intended use or sale. All other finance costs are expensed using the effective interest rate method.

16 Interest bearing liabilities
Interest bearing liabilities comprise bank loans, notes issued in the capital markets and private placements. Interest bearing liabilities are recognised initially at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, interest bearing liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.

ANNUAL REPORT 2022
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 (FRM) 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 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 policy 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 policy require approval by the Board.
Capital management
Goodman’s principal capital management objectives are to maintain a strong capital base and provide funds for operating activities (including development expenditure), capital expenditure and investment opportunities as they arise. This is achieved through an appropriate mix of debt and equity.
Goodman is able to alter the capital mix by issuing new Goodman debt and equity securities or hybrid securities, 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.
(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.
124
ANNUAL REPORT 2022
In managing foreign exchange risks, Goodman aims to reduce the impact of short-term fluctuations on Goodman’s earnings and net assets. However, over the long term, permanent changes in foreign exchange rates will have an impact on both earnings and net assets.
Goodman’s capital hedge policy for each overseas region is to hedge between 65% and 90% of foreign currency denominated assets with foreign currency denominated liabilities. This is achieved by borrowing in the same currency as the overseas investments to form a natural economic hedge against any foreign currency fluctuations and/or using derivatives such as cross currency interest rate swaps (CCIRS) and foreign exchange contracts (FEC).
The Group’s hedge position is monitored on an ongoing basis and the Group will enter into new derivatives (including forward start contracts) and close out or enter into contra derivative contracts to manage the capital hedge position.
As at 30 June 2022, the principal that was used to hedge its exposures using derivatives and the weighted average exchange rates, by currency, are set out below:

In addition to the derivatives detailed in the table above, GIT also has a FEC with a controlled entity of GL to hedge that entity’s USD exposure. On maturity of the contract, GIT will receive USD 81.8 million from GL (2021: USD 257.3 million) and pay GBP 53.8 million to GL (2021: GBP 183.9 million).
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$107.9 million (2021: A$72.9 million decrease) for Goodman and A$48.1 million (2021: A$28.6 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$107.9 million (2021: A$72.9 million increase) for Goodman and A$48.1 million (2021: A$28.6 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.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements
Capital management (continued)
18 Financial risk management (continued)
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 per annum higher/lower, with all other variables held constant, the profit attributable to Securityholders would have increased/decreased by A$8.1 million (2021: increased/decreased by A$0.2 million) for Goodman and decreased/increased by A$5.4 million (2021: decreased/increased by A$5.0 million) for GIT.
For Goodman’s other IBOR exposures, the transition to alternative risk-free rates has been deferred and/or extended and therefore no action has been or will be taken in that regard until such time as the alternative reference rates are defined and scheduled. It is expected that these will follow the conventions established in other markets and the Group will apply the same principles for those transitions as and when they become relevant.
The table below details the Group’s exposure at 30 June 2022 to significant IBORs subject to reform that have yet to transition to alternate benchmark rates:
Managing interest rate benchmark reform and associated risks
A fundamental reform of major interest rate benchmarks is being undertaken globally, including the replacement of some interbank offered rates (IBORs) with alternative risk-free rates (referred to as IBOR reform). The Group has exposure to IBORs through certain of its bank loans (interest bearing liabilities) and its derivative instruments (IRD and CCIRS). Most of the Group’s external interest bearing liabilities are bonds with fixed coupons and are not exposed to IBORs. The Group’s derivative instruments are governed by contracts based on the International Swaps and Derivatives Association (ISDA) master agreements.
The United Kingdom, Japan and the United States had announced plans to discontinue using London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) by 31 December 2021. The alternative reference rate for sterling LIBOR is the Sterling Overnight Index Average rate, for Japanese yen LIBOR is the Tokyo Overnight Average Rate and for US dollar LIBOR is the Secured Overnight Financing Rate. Amendments to the Group’s financial instruments with contractual terms indexed to sterling LIBOR or Japanese yen LIBOR, such that they incorporate the new benchmark rates, were completed by 31 December 2021. Although US dollar LIBOR was planned to be discontinued by the end of 2021, in November 2020 the Intercontinental Exchange Benchmark Administration, the Financial Conduct Authority-regulated and authorised administrator of LIBOR, announced that it had started to consult on its intention to cease the publication of certain US dollar LIBORs after June 2023. It is still unclear when the announcement that will set a date for the termination of the publication of US dollar LIBOR will take place. Nevertheless, the Group has finished the process of implementing appropriate fallback provisions for all US dollar LIBOR indexed exposures.
| USD LIBOR | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Notional amount | |||
| Goodman | GIT | ||
| $M | $M | ||
| IRD | 900.0 | 500.0 |
|
| CCIRS | 2,330.0 3,230.0 |
1,430.0 1,930.0 |
The exposure disclosed is for derivatives with contractual maturities after 30 June 2022. Derivative exposure has been reported using the notional contract amount and where derivatives such as CCIRS have both a receiver and a payer leg with exposure to IBOR reform, the notional contract amount is disclosed for both legs.

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.

ANNUAL REPORT 2022
(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 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$361.3 million (2021: A$175.2 million) and A$256.1 million (2021: A$112.9 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 | Number of rights | |
|---|---|---|
| 2022 | 2021 | |
| Outstanding at the beginning of the year | 68,640,720 | 73,987,645 |

ANNUAL REPORT 2022
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:
| 10–year | 10–year | 5–year | |

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.

25 Commitments
Development activities
At 30 June 2022, Goodman was committed to expenditure in respect of $691.8 million (2021: $534.7 million) on inventories and other development activities. GIT has no such commitments (2021: $nil).
Investment properties
At 30 June 2022, Goodman had capital expenditure commitments of $6.1 million (2021: $nil) in respect of its existing investment property portfolio. GIT had capital expenditure commitments of $4.5 million (2021: $nil).
Partnerships
At 30 June 2022, Goodman had remaining equity commitments of $217.9 million (2021: $144.7 million) into GAIP and $135.0 million (2021: $63.0 million) into GEP. In addition, Goodman has undertaken to acquire up to 82.1 million units in GAIP if their holder elects to sell them. The price Goodman will pay will be determined by the prevailing unit price at the time of the sale. As at 30 June 2022, this equates to a total value of $162.1 million (cum distribution value) or $161.1 million (ex distribution price). Goodman’s commitment to this sale process ends in May 2026. These commitments also apply to GIT.
Furthermore, in respect of certain Partnerships, Goodman and its investment partners have committed to invest further capital, subject to the approval by the partners (including Goodman) of the expenditures for which the funding is required. Goodman’s commitment in respect of these Partnerships is set out below:
-
- $30.0 million (2021: $nil) into Wyuna
-
- $130.7 million (2021: $136.2 million) into KWASA Goodman Germany
-
- $344.8 million (2021: $410.1 million) into Goodman Japan Development Partnership
-
- $793.8 million (2021: $808.0 million) into GCLP
-
- $599.3 million (2021: $512.8 million) into GUKP
-
- $1,888.9 million (2021: $2,156.2 million) into GNAP
-
- $73.0 million (2021: $72.7 million) into Goodman Brazil Logistics Partnership.
In relation to GEP, Goodman offers two liquidity facilities which allow certain of the partners to sell to the Group some or all of their investments in GEP, but only when Goodman’s ownership interest in GEP is below 40.0%. At 30 June 2022, Goodman’s ownership interest in GEP was 19.8% and therefore the facilities are available to the partners. The first facility, which applies to 6.4% of the issued and committed units, would require Goodman to purchase up to €210.5 million of units (at a 1% discount to current unit value), subject to a maximum in each quarter of 2.5% of units. The second facility, which applies to 12.7% of the issued and committed units, would require Goodman to purchase up to €150.0 million of units (at a 5% discount to current unit value), subject to a maximum in each calendar year of €50.0 million.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements
Other items (continued)
The financial information for the parent entities of Goodman and GIT has been prepared on the same basis as the consolidated financial statements, except as set out below:
Investments in controlled entities and Partnerships
Investments in controlled entities and Partnerships are accounted for at cost in the financial statements of GL and GIT. Distributions/dividends received from Partnerships are recognised in the income statement, rather than being deducted from the carrying amount of these investments.
28 Events subsequent to balance date
Goodman and GIT
Other than as disclosed elsewhere in the consolidated financial report, there has not arisen in the interval between the end of the financial year and the date of this consolidated financial 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 and GIT, the results of those operations, or the state of affairs of Goodman and GIT, in future financial years.
Tax consolidation
GL is the head entity in a tax consolidated group comprising all Australian wholly owned subsidiaries (this excludes GIT). The head entity recognises all of the current tax assets and liabilities of the tax consolidated group (after elimination of intra-group transactions).
Financial guarantees
Where the parent entities have provided financial guarantees in relation to loans and payables of controlled entities for no compensation, the fair values of these guarantees are accounted for as contributions and recognised as part of the cost of the investment.
Parent entity capital commitments

Parent entity contingencies
Capitalisation Deed Poll
The Company, GFML, as responsible entity of the Trust, GLHK and certain of their wholly owned controlled entities are ‘investors’ under a Capitalisation Deed Poll (CDP) dated 23 May 2007. Under the CDP, each investor undertakes to pay to the relevant controlled entity borrower (borrower) any amounts owing under finance documents for the purpose of the CDP when the borrower fails to make a payment. Any payments by an investor to a borrower will be by way of loan to, or proceeds for the subscription of equity in, the borrower by the investor.

Under the issue of notes in the US144A/Regulation S bond market (refer to notes 16(b) and 16(c)), controlled entities of GIT had on issue USD and EUR notes amounting to US$1,350.0 million and €500.0 million respectively.

Basis for opinions
We conducted our audits in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards . We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinions.
Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the Financial Report section of our report.
We are independent of the Goodman Group, Goodman Limited, Goodman Funds Management Limited (the Responsible Entity of the Trust) and the Trust in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including Independence Standards) (the Code) that are relevant to our audits of the Financial Report in Australia. We have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements.
Key Audit Matters
The Key Audit Matters we identified for the Goodman Group are:
-
- Recognition of development income; and
-
- Valuation of investment properties, investments accounted for using the equity method and inventories.
Key Audit Matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the Financial Report of the current period.
These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the Financial Report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

The key audit matter How the matter was addressed in our audit

+ its significant value (28% of revenue and other income); + Evaluating Goodman Group’s recognition of development income
+ the unique nature of contracts; and against the criteria in the accounting standards;
----- End of picture text -----
-
- the judgements applied by us to assess Goodman Group’s determination of revenue recognised during the period in relation to contracts which remain in progress at period end.
Income from development management services is recognised progressively, requiring judgment by us when considering Goodman Group’s determination of the amount and extent of the services provided within the period based on contract deliverables.
Goodman Group’s policy is for income from inventory disposals to be recognised at a point in time when control is transferred to the customer and fixed price development contracts to be recognised in proportion to the stage of completion of the relevant contracts.
We focused on the stage of completion estimation which is based on costs incurred as a percentage of estimated total costs for each contract.
-
- Selecting specific contracts from development income recognised based on quantitative and qualitative information (such as the size and complexity of the arrangement) and performed the following:
-
Understanding the underlying contractual arrangements, in particular their unique terms, for their impact to recognition of development income;
-
Where recognition of development income was conditional upon certain events occurring, checking conditions within the contract to evidence of achievement of conditions, such as correspondence with external parties;
-
Assessing Goodman Group’s determination of revenue recognised during the period in accordance with the provision of services stipulated in the underlying contract or the stage of completion; and
-
For revenue recognised based on the stage of completion, assess the cost assumptions used by the Group in determining the stage of completion estimate as follows:
-
Costs incurred – assessing a sample of costs incurred to date to relevant underlying external sources, such as invoices; and
-
Estimated total costs – assessing a sample of total forecast costs to secured contracts for construction activities, other relevant underlying sources, and our understanding of the industry and economic conditions.

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).
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.

- 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.

ANNUAL REPORT 2022
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 business environment is changing, with increased interest rates, inflation, geopolitical risks and the ongoing impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic; however, the long-term structural drivers of demand have not changed. Tight supply and customer demand continues to support leasing across the stabilised portfolio and developments, with high occupancy in the Consolidated Entity’s markets. The Consolidated Entity’s customers continue to intensify warehousing in urban locations and increase automation and technology to optimise delivery and improve supply chain efficiency.
The Consolidated Entity has continued to successfully execute its strategy, which is providing customers with essential locations and offering productivity improvements to help absorb cost and time. It is also delivering the Consolidated Entity and its Partnerships a portfolio of assets at consistently strong risk adjusted returns. This is reflected in both the property investment earnings and the management earnings.
Development activity has again been a significant contributor to the operating performance. Construction costs are increasing globally. However, by delivering increased productivity and value from the project sites and development execution, the Consolidated Entity has maintained strong returns.
In assessing the Consolidated Entity’s underlying performance, the Directors consider operating profit as well as statutory profit. Operating profit 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.
The Consolidated Entity has delivered a strong operating performance for FY22, with operating profit increasing by 21.5% to $607.4 million, compared to $499.8 million for the prior year.

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 (JV) (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 locations where available space remains restricted, driven by significant customer demand, combined with barriers to entry and limited supply. Consequently, the Consolidated Entity is seeing significant market rental growth across its locations. This is supporting strong underlying investment fundamentals and cash flows in the Consolidated Entity’s portfolio.
The net income from the Consolidated Entity’s directly held properties increased by 205% to $40.9 million compared to the prior year as a result of acquisitions in Asia in both the current and prior year and rental income earned from completed developments (held in inventories, mainly in Continental Europe) prior to their disposal.
The Consolidated Entity’s share of investment earnings from its cornerstone holdings in the Partnerships increased by 26% to $41.2 million compared to the prior year. This was due to the stabilisation of developments in FY21 and FY22, as the Consolidated Entity has continued to invest in the Partnerships to fund its share of those developments and rental income growth from existing stabilised properties.
During FY22, the Consolidated Entity’s share of property valuations from the stabilised portfolios was $269.8 million. Valuation gains occurred in all regions and while capitalisation rate compression was the main driver, especially in the first half of the year, both rental income growth and development completions have provided an increasing contribution. At 30 June 2022, the weighted average capitalisation rate for the Consolidated Entity’s portfolios was 4.7%, compared to 4.9% at the start of FY22.

Report of the Directors Business review (continued)
Management activities
Management earnings in FY22 of $170.6 million increased by 17% compared to the prior year and comprised 18% of total operating earnings (2021: 20%). The main driver of management earnings was the increase in external AUM. A reduction in performance related revenue was the result of the timing of calculation and recognition of fees.

|---|---|---|
| $M | $M | |
| Management earnings | 170.6 | 146.3 |
| Key metrics Number of Partnerships External AUM ($B) |
2022 8 27.8 |
2021 7 23.0 |
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.
Development activities
In FY22, development earnings were $689.1 million, an increase of 31% on the prior year, and comprised 73% of total operating earnings (2021: 73%).
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 JVs, less development expenses. Development income includes development management fees and 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 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 FY22 was undertaken by or for the Partnerships and third parties.
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 increased as a result of increased borrowings on the Consolidated Entity’s loans. The increase in tax expense is primarily a function of changes to the origin and nature of revenue arising from management and development activities.
Development activity continued to be strong with work in progress of $7.1 billion across 36 projects at 30 June 2022. The increase in the Consolidated Entity’s development earnings was primarily volume driven.

The decrease in the net operating cash flows is primarily due to more development disposals in Continental Europe in the prior year and the increased investment into new development opportunities.
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. Financing cash flows principally relate to the net proceeds from loans with related parties and payment of the dividend in August 2021.
The stabilised investment properties relate to acquisitions in Asia.
The carrying value of cornerstone investments in Partnerships has increased by $375.6 million to $1,845.6 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 $411.7 million to $1,552.6 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).

GOODMAN GROUP
Report of the Directors Business review (continued)
Outlook
The Consolidated Entity has developed significant expertise and a deliberate strategy to target high barrier to entry markets and to undertake larger, more complex projects over longer periods of time, providing our customers access to facilities where they are scarce and has positioned the Consolidated Entity well for future growth.
In the near term, market conditions are likely to be volatile and the risks associated with rising inflation, interest rates and slowing economic activity are elevated. This may impact consumers; however, they continue to seek faster and more flexible delivery, which requires ongoing intensification of warehousing in urban locations to optimise delivery and improve productivity. The business remains agile, focused on the changing consumption habits across the physical and digital space and, as a result, the evolving requirements of customers around the world.
Demand is currently exceeding supply in the Consolidated Entity’s markets, supporting the Consolidated Entity’s development-led growth strategy and producing well located assets for the Consolidated Entity and its Partnerships. In addition to strategic site acquisitions, the opportunities for regeneration of existing assets support our future development workbook by providing value add opportunities, while reducing the Consolidated Entity’s environmental impact. The Consolidated Entity’s production rate, depth of customer demand and strong margins are supporting the outlook for development earnings into FY23.
Risks
Goodman Group identifies strategic and operational risks for each of its regions as part of its strategy process. The key risks, an assessment of their likelihood of occurrence and consequences and controls that are in place to mitigate the risks are reported to the Goodman Group Board annually.
Goodman Group has established formal systems and processes to manage the risks at each stage of its decision-making process. This is facilitated by a Goodman Group Investment Committee comprising senior executives, chaired by the Group Chief Executive Officer, which considers all major operational decisions and transactions. The Goodman Group Investment Committee meets on a weekly basis.
The Goodman Group Board has separate Board committees to review and assess key risks. The Risk and Compliance Committee reviews and monitors a range of material risks in Goodman Group’s risk management systems including, among other risks, market, operational, sustainability, regulation and compliance and information technology. The Goodman Group Audit Committee reviews and monitors financial risk management and tax policies.
The outlook for property investment and management earnings remains strong, as the customer demand and supply constraints in the Consolidated Entity’s markets provide support for both rental growth and a high level of occupancy. Investment and management earnings will also benefit from the completion of ongoing developments. Development completions and market rental growth are also expected to support growth in AUM.
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.

ANNUAL REPORT 2022
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 167 to 206, which comprise the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2022, 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 2022 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.
As part of an audit in accordance with HKSAs, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
-
- Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
-
- Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control.
-
- Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the Directors.
165
GOODMAN GROUP
Independent Auditor's Report (continued)
To the members of Goodman Logistics (HK) Limited (incorporated in Hong Kong with limited liability)
-
- 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.
-

ANNUAL REPORT 2022
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 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.
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 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 controlled foreign operation are recognised in the foreign currency translation reserve on consolidation.
Exchange rates used
The following exchange rates are the main exchange rates used in translating foreign currency transactions, balances and financial statements to Australian dollars.
| Weighted | average | As at 30 June | As at 30 June | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Australian dollars (AUD) to Hong Kong dollars (HKD) |
2022 5.6626 |
2021 5.7958 |
2022 5.4241 |
2021 5.8222 |
|
| Chinese yuan (CNY) | 4.6840 | 4.9419 | 4.6154 | 4.8412 | |
| Japanese yen (JPY) | 85.1512 | 79.6101 | 93.7770 | 83.2780 | |
| Euros (EUR) | 0.6442 | 0.6262 | 0.6594 | 0.6327 | |
| British pounds sterling (GBP) | 0.5456 | 0.5546 | 0.5676 | 0.5432 | |
| United States dollars (USD) | 0.7255 | 0.7472 | 0.6912 | 0.7497 |
(e) Changes in accounting policies
(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.
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.
A fundamental reform of major interest rate benchmarks is being undertaken globally, including the replacement of some interbank offered rates (IBORs) with alternative risk-free rates (referred to as IBOR reform). The Consolidated Entity has adopted Interest Rate Benchmark Reform – Phase 2 (Amendments to International Financial Reporting Standard (IFRS) 9, International Accounting Standard (IAS) 39, IFRS 7, IFRS 4 and IFRS 16) from 1 July 2021. These amendments provide reliefs relating to modifications of financial instruments and lease contracts or hedging relationships triggered by a replacement of a benchmark interest rate in a contract with a new alternative benchmark rate.
The overall impact of the IBOR reform is not significant in the context of the Consolidated Entity’s financial position and performance.
See note 14 for related disclosures about risks, financial assets and financial liabilities indexed to IBORs.
(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.
171
GOODMAN GROUP
Notes to the consolidated financial statements Basis of preparation (continued)
(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 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. 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.
172
ANNUAL REPORT 2022
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, when 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 masterplanning, 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 gain/(loss) 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 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.
Superannuation
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 profit or loss.

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 non-cash items such as fair value adjustments and impairments, corporate expenses and share based remuneration. The assets allocated to each operating segment relate to the properties, which also include the investments in Partnerships, and the trade and other receivables associated with the operating activities, but exclude receivables from GL, GIT and their controlled entities, income tax receivables and corporate assets. The liabilities allocated to each operating segment primarily relate to trade and other payables associated with the operating activities, but exclude payables to GL, GIT and their controlled entities, provision for dividends to Shareholders, income tax payables and corporate liabilities.
The accounting policies used to report segment information are the same as those used to prepare the consolidated financial statements for the Consolidated Entity.
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.

ANNUAL REPORT 2022
4 Taxation
Income tax for the period comprises current tax and movements in deferred tax assets and liabilities. Current tax and movements in deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that they relate to items recognised 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.

ANNUAL REPORT 2022
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.
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 two 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.
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.

(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
Valuations are determined based on assessments and estimates of uncertain future events, including upturns and downturns in property markets and availability of similar properties, vacancy rates, market rents and capitalisation and discount rates. Recent and relevant sales evidence and other market data are taken into account. Valuations are either based on an external, independent valuation or on an internal valuation.
External valuations are undertaken only where market segments were observed to be active. In making the determination of whether a market segment is active, the following characteristics are considered:
-
- Function of the asset (distribution/warehouse or suburban office)
-
- Location of the asset (city, suburb or regional area)
-
- Carrying value of the asset (categorised by likely appeal to private (including syndicates), national and/or 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. The number of sales and the circumstances of each sale are assessed to determine whether a market segment is active or inactive.
The approach to determination of fair value of investment properties is applied to both investment properties held directly and investment properties held in Partnerships.
180
ANNUAL REPORT 2022
Where a market segment is observed to be active, then external
independent valuations are performed for stabilised investment properties where there has been a combination of factors that are likely to have resulted in a material movement in valuation. The considerations include a greater than 10% movement in market rents, more than a 25 basis point movement in capitalisation rates, 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), significant capital expenditure, a change in use (or zoning), a development has reached completion/stabilisation of the asset or it has been two 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:
Market assessment
The investment market for industrial, logistics and warehousing properties has continued to be strong during FY22, despite the increased interest rates in the last quarter of FY22. At 30 June 2022, 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 DCF valuations.
The overall weighted average capitalisation rates for the divisional portfolios (including Partnerships) are set out in the table below:
| Total portfolio | weighted | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| average capitalisation rate | |||
| 2022 | 2021 | ||
| Segment | % | % | |

-
- Current contractual lease terms
-
- Current market rents
-
- Projected growth in market rents
-
- Expected and likely capital expenditures
-
- Projected letting up incentives provided to customers and vacant time on expiry of leases
-
- Discount rates – 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.
Sensitivity Ananlysis
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 at 30 June 2022 are most sensitive to the following inputs:
-
- Capitalisation rates
-
- Market rents
-
- Incentives provided to customers and/or vacant time on expiry of leases.
The directly held stabilised investment properties are in Asia. The average net market rent and weighted average capitalisation rate is summarised in the table below:

Investment properties under development
For the directly held investment properties under development, external independent valuations are generally not performed, but instead valuations are determined at each reporting date using the feasibility assessments supporting the developments. The end values of the developments in the feasibility studies are based on assumptions such as capitalisation rates, market rents, incentives provided to customers and vacant time that are consistent with those observed in the relevant market, adjusted for a profit and risk factor. The profit and risk factors are dependent on the function, location, size and current status of the developments and are 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 in the order of 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.
In respect of the Partnerships, certain Partnerships obtain external independent valuations of investment properties under development at reporting dates. However, the majority determine the fair values at reporting dates by reference to the feasibility assessments, with external independent valuations obtained when the properties has been stabilised.

(f) Investments accounted for using the equity method
JVs
A 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 Partnerships are accounted for using the equity method. Under this method, the Consolidated Entity’s investment is initially recognised at cost. Subsequent to initial recognition, the consolidated financial statements include the Consolidated Entity’s share of the gains or losses and other comprehensive income of Partnerships until the date on which significant influence or joint control ceases.
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.
The Consolidated Entity’s principal Partnerships are set out below

Notes to the consolidated financial statements
Operating assets and liabilities (continued)
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.
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
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.
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.
186
ANNUAL REPORT 2022
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.

The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the fair value of each class of receivable mentioned above. All non-current receivables of the Consolidated Entity are due within five years from the reporting date. There is no material difference between the carrying values and the fair values of receivables.
Trade receivables
No trade receivables were impaired at 30 June 2022 and 2021. There are no significant overdue trade receivables at 30 June 2022.
Other receivables
At 30 June 2022, none of the other receivables balance was overdue or impaired (2021: $nil).
Amounts due from related parties
At 30 June 2022, none of the amounts due from related parties was overdue or impaired (2021: $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 (2021: $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.

Details regarding the Consolidated Entity’s future rental income associated with existing lease agreements is included in note 6.
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.

ANNUAL REPORT 2022
9 Payables
10 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.
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 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 Consolidated Entity derecognises a financial liability when the contractual obligations are discharged or cancelled or expire.
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 rate 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 the Consolidated Entity will be reasonably certain to exercise an extension or termination option.
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.
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.

CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
11 Net finance expense
Finance income
Interest is recognised on an accruals basis using the effective interest rate method, and, if not received at the reporting date, is reflected in the 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 the 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.
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).

Sensitivity analysis
Throughout the financial year, if the Australian dollar had been 5% (2021: 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 $48.8 million (2021: $36.7 million). If the Australian dollar had been 5% (2021: 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 $48.8 million (2021: $36.7 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 derivatives (IRD) to manage certain cash flow risks associated with floating interest rates on its CCIRS.
As at 30 June 2022, the Consolidated Entity’s fixed and floating rate exposure (by principal) arising from its derivative financial instruments is set out below:

Sensitivity analysis
Based on the Consolidated Entity’s interest bearing borrowings at 30 June 2022, if interest rates on borrowings had been 100 bps per annum (2021: 100 bps per annum) higher/lower, with all other variables held constant, the Consolidated Entity’s profit attributable to Shareholders would have been $11.8 million lower/higher (2021: $10.8 million lower/higher).
Managing interest rate benchmark reform and associated risks
A fundamental reform of major interest rate benchmarks is being undertaken globally, including the replacement of some interbank offered rates (IBORs) with alternative risk-free rates (referred to as IBOR reform). The Consolidated Entity has exposure to IBORs through certain of its related party loans and its derivative instruments (IRD and CCIRS). The Consolidated Entity’s derivative instruments are governed by contracts based on the International Swaps and Derivatives Association (ISDA) master agreements.
The United Kingdom, Japan and the United States had announced plans to discontinue using London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) by 31 December 2021. The alternative reference rate for sterling LIBOR is the Sterling Overnight Index Average rate, for Japanese yen LIBOR is the Tokyo Overnight Average Rate and for US dollar LIBOR is the Secured Overnight Financing Rate. Amendments to the Consolidated Entity’s financial instruments with contractual terms indexed to sterling LIBOR or Japanese yen LIBOR, such that they incorporate the new benchmark rates, were completed by 31 December 2021. Although US dollar LIBOR was planned to be discontinued by the end of 2021, in November 2020 the Intercontinental Exchange Benchmark Administration, the Financial Conduct Authority-regulated and authorised administrator of LIBOR, announced that it had started to consult on its intention to cease the publication of certain US dollar LIBORs after June 2023. It is still unclear when the announcement that will set a date for the termination of the publication of US dollar LIBOR will take place. Nevertheless, the Consolidated Entity has finished the process of implementing appropriate fallback provisions for all US dollar LIBOR indexed exposures.
For the Consolidated Entity’s other IBOR exposures, the transition to alternative risk-free rates has been deferred and/or extended and therefore no action has been or will be taken in that regard until such time as the alternative reference rates are defined and scheduled. It is expected that these will follow the conventions established in other markets and the Consolidated Entity will apply the same principles for those transitions as and when they become relevant.
The table below details the Consolidate Entity’s exposure at 30 June 2022 to significant IBORs subject to reform that have yet to transition to alternate benchmark rates:
| USD LIBOR | |
|---|---|
| Notional amount | |
| $M | |
| IRD | 400.0 |
| CCIRS | 900.0 |
| 1,300.0 |
The exposure disclosed is for derivatives with contractual maturities after 30 June 2022. Derivatives exposure has been reported using the notional contract amount and where derivatives such as CCIRS have both a receiver and a payer leg with exposure to IBOR reform, the notional contract amount is disclosed for both legs.

(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:

(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 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)
-
- 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 2022 and 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 IRD, 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:

- During the year, the Company issued 14,716,648 (2021: 15,438,241) shares to employees of Goodman Group under the 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 | Number of rights | |
|---|---|---|
| 2022 | 2021 | |
| Outstanding at the beginning of the year | 22,734,427 | 24,921,436 |

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:

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.

ANNUAL REPORT 2022
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.
