Goodman Industrial Trust and its controlled entities Directors' report for the half year ended 31 December 2015

GIT is deemed to be a controlled entity of Goodman Limited (GL). In this consolidated financial report, GL and its controlled entities are referred to as Goodman Group.

GIT's units are stapled to both shares in GL and CHESS Depositary Interests (CDIs) over shares in Goodman Logistics (HK) Limited (GLHK). The units in GIT, shares in GL and CDIs over the ordinary shares in GLHK are quoted as a single security on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) as Goodman Group stapled securities.

Operating and financial review

The performance of the Consolidated Entity, as represented by the results of its operations for the half year, was as follow:

Consolidated
2015 2014
\$M \$M
Net property income 58.3 57.2
Share of net results of equity accounted investments
(before asset revaluations and derivative mark to market movements) 132.4 122.2
Investment earnings 190.7 179.4
Profit attributable to unitholders of GIT (Unitholders) 741.6 260.3
Total comprehensive income attributable to Unitholders 777.3 419.0

Property investment

Investment earnings comprise gross property income, net of property expenses, and the Consolidated Entity's share of the results (before revaluations) of associates and joint ventures (collectively referred to as partnerships). Investment earnings of \$190.7 million has increased by 6.3% compared to the prior corresponding period, with the growth driven primarily by contributions from partnerships.

The quality of Goodman Group's property portfolio and customers is reflected in the sound underlying property fundamentals experienced across Goodman Group's operating regions. During the half year, 1.5 million square metres of space has been leased ensuring that occupancy has been maintained at 96% with a weighted average lease expiry of 4.7 years. Like-for-like rental net property income growth across the portfolio is 1.7% and reversions on new leasing deals are 5.2%.

Goodman Industrial Trust and its controlled entities Directors' report for the half year ended 31 December 2015

Operating and financial review (cont)

Property investment (cont)

Goodman Group has continued to take advantage of the market demand for industrial properties with a further \$1.3 billion of property disposals across Goodman Group and its managed partnerships (excluding urban renewal sites).

However, Goodman Group's managed partnerships have continued to invest in development of new, well located assets funded, at least in part, by the proceeds from asset rotation. The short term loss of rental income resulting from the asset sales will be replaced in time as the new developments are completed.

Urband renewal

Goodman Group continues to progress its urban renewal strategy in Australia and has achieved positive planning outcomes on a number of sites. At 31 December 2015, the Consolidated Entity has \$1.5 billion of sites conditionally contracted for sale and further progress was made after balance date, reflecting the strong demand for zoned residential sites. The Consolidated Entity expects to realise these sale proceeds over the next three years, providing a substantial long term source of capital to fund opportunities for the Consolidated Entity and its partnerships.

Property valuations

The strength of investment markets in most of the regions the Consolidated Entity operates in has resulted in the Consolidated Entity recognising property valuation gains of \$0.6 billion, with the weighted average capitalisation rate of property assets held by Goodman Group tightening from 7.0% to 6.6% across the half year. Approximately one third of the gains have come through the urban renewal properties.

Total liabilities 3,553.1 3,428.8
Non-controlling interests 325.8 325.8
Net assets attributable to Unitholders 6,512.5 5,868.5

Stabilised investment properties

The value of stabilised investment properties has increased by \$269.5 million to \$2,321.7 million, which is primarily due to revaluation gains during the year of \$246.2 million partially offset by asset disposals. The majority of the stabilised investment properties are in Australia and include a number of sites with potential for urban renewal. The positive planning outcomes on these urban renewal sites have been a key driver of the valuation gains.

Cornerstone investments in partnerships

The value of cornerstone investments in partnerships has increased by \$491.7 million to \$3,658.2 million, of which \$58.3 million is a result of movement in foreign currency. Additional capital contributions to fund acquisitions account for a further increase of approximately \$108.5 million. This strong investment market has also resulted in a tightening of capitalisation rates, resulting in valuation gains of \$328.6 million.

Loans to related parties

Loans to related parties are primarily loans to GL, GLHK and their controlled entities. The majority of interest bearing liabilities in Goodman Group is held by the Consolidated Entity which on lends the proceeds to other members of Goodman Group to fund acquisitions and developments. Loans to related parties have decreased by \$74.6 million to \$3,158.5 million.

Cash and interest bearing liabilities

Interest bearing liabilities net of cash are \$2,041.0 million compared to \$2,002.4 million at 30 June 2015. The increase is primarily due to net cash inflow offset by foreign currency exchange movements. Movements in other assets and other liabilities mainly reflect the changes in the Consolidated Entity's derivative financial instruments.

Operating and financial review (cont)

Capital management

Goodman Group has maintained its prudent approach to capital management. At 31 December 2015, Goodman Group had available liquidity of \$1.9 billion and had a weighted average debt maturity profile of 4.3 years, with debt maturities fully covered up to December 2019. Gearing remains low at 15.9% (30 June 2015: 17.3%) and interest cover at 5.3 times (30 June 2015: 6.0 times) providing significant headroom relative to Goodman Group's financing covenants.

Distributions

The distribution declared/announced to ordinary holders of GIT during the half year was 11.90 cents per unit (2014: 11.10 cents per unit), amounting to \$210.6 million (2014: \$193.7 million).

Events subsequent to balance date

In the opinion of the Directors, there were no events subsequent to balance date, and up to the date of signature of this interim financial report, which would require adjustment or disclosure in the interim financial report.

Basis of preparation

1. Basis of preparation

Goodman Industrial Trust was established in Australia. The interim financial report for the half year comprises GIT and its controlled entities (Consolidated Entity) and the Consolidated Entity's interests in associates and joint ventures (JVs).

The stapling of GIT, GL and GLHK was implemented on 22 August 2012. Following approval of the stapling, units in GIT, shares in GL and CDIs over shares in GLHK were stapled to one another and are quoted as a single security on the ASX. Goodman Funds Management Limited (the responsible entity of GIT), GL and GLHK must at all times act in the best interests of the stapled entity.

(a) Statement of compliance

The interim financial report is a general purpose financial report which has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting, the Corporations Act 2001 and the requirements of GIT's constitution dated 13 December 1989, as amended. The interim financial report is presented in Australian dollars and was authorised for issue by the Directors on 11 February 2016.

The interim financial report does not include all of the information required for a full annual financial report and should be read in conjunction with the annual report for the Consolidated Entity as at and for the year ended 30 June 2015.

There are no significant changes to the Consolidated Entity's interim income statement, statement of comprehensive income or statement of financial position as a result of the application of the new and amended standards and interpretations mandatory for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 July 2015. The Consolidated Entity has not applied any Australian Accounting Standards available for early adoption in the preparation of these financial statements.

(b) Rounding

In accordance with Australian Securities & Investments Commission Class Order 98/100 dated 10 July 1998, the amounts shown in this interim financial report have been rounded to the nearest hundred thousand dollars, unless otherwise stated.

(c) Critical accounting estimates used in the preparation of the 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 4 Property assets; and
    • Note 8 Financial instruments.

The accounting impacts of revisions to estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised and in any future periods affected.

Basis of preparation (cont)

1. Basis of preparation (cont)

(c) Critical accounting estimates used in the preparation of the financial statements (cont)

Measurement of fair values

A number of the Consolidated Entity's accounting policies and disclosures require the measurement of fair values, for both financial and non-financial assets and liabilities.

When measuring the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Consolidated Entity uses market observable data as far as possible. Fair values are categorised into different levels in a fair value hierarchy and have been defined as follows:

    • Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
    • Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); and
    • Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

Further information about the assumptions made in measuring fair values is included in the following notes:

    • Note 4 Property assets; and
    • Note 8 Financial instruments.

4. Property assets

(a) Types of property assets

The Consolidated Entity's investment in property assets includes both inventories and investment properties, which may be held either directly or through its 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 Consolidated Entity'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 continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

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.

(c) Estimates and assumptions in determining property carrying values

Inventories

For both inventories held directly and inventories held in partnerships, external valuations are not performed but instead valuations are determined using the feasibility studies supporting the land and property developments. The end values of the developments in the feasibility studies are based on assumptions such as capitalisation rates, letting up periods and incentives that are consistent with those observed in the relevant market. Where the feasibility study calculations indicate that the forecast cost of a completed development will exceed the net realisable value, then the inventories are impaired.

Investment properties

Stabilised investment properties

Stabilised investment properties refer to investment properties which are not under development. 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.

Market assessment

The overall weighted average capitalisation rates for the divisional portfolios (including partnerships) are set out in the table below:

Total portfolio weighted
average capitalisation
31 Dec 2015 30 Jun 2015
Division % %
Australia1 6.9 7.3
Hong Kong 5.6 6.0
Logistics - Continental Europe 6.7 6.9
Logistics - United Kingdom 8.0 7.6
North America 4.3 -
  1. Excludes urban renewal sites which are valued on a rate per residential unit site basis.

Investment properties under development

External valuations are generally not performed for investment properties under development held directly by the Consolidated Entity, but instead valuations are determined using the feasibility studies supporting the developments. The end values of the developments in the feasibility studies are based on assumptions to determine capitalisation rates, letting up periods and incentives that are consistent with those observed in the relevant market adjusted for a profit and risk factor. This profit and risk factor is dependent on the function, location and size of the development and is generally in a market range of 8% to 15%.

This practice of determining fair value by reference to the development feasibility is generally also applied for the Consolidated Entity's investments in partnerships. However, a certain number of entities do obtain independent valuations for investment properties under development each financial year.

15. Commitments

Partnerships

At 31 December 2015, the Consolidated Entity has made an equity commitment of \$89.9 million (30 June 2015: \$97.6 million) into GEP.

In relation to GAIP and GEP, the Consolidated Entity offers limited liquidity facilities to investors, which allow the investors to sell to Goodman Group some or all of their investment in the funds. Limits apply to these liquidity facilities and Goodman Group is only required to offer to purchase up to \$7.5 million of the issued capital of GAIP each quarter and 2.5% of the issued capital of GEP each quarter. Furthermore, the Consolidated Entity is only required to purchase units where its co-investment in GAIP or GEP is below a prescribed limit. Currently, Goodman Group's interest (together with its custodian's interest) in GAIP and GEP is below the prescribed limit and both liquidity facilities are open for investors.

Stapling agreement with GL and GLHK

In accordance with the stapling agreement between GIT, GL and GLHK, on request each party (and its subsidiaries) must provide financial support to the other party (and its subsidiaries). The financial support to the other party (and its subsidiaries) may include:

    • lending money or providing financial accommodation;
    • guaranteeing any loan or other financing facility including providing any security;
    • entering into any covenant, undertaking, restraint or negative pledge on the obtaining of any financial accommodation or the provision of any guarantee or security in connection with any financial accommodation; and
    • entering into any joint borrowing or joint financial accommodation and providing any guarantee, security, indemnities and undertakings in connection with the relevant joint borrowing or joint financial accommodation.

A party need not do anything under the above arrangements to the extent that the party considers that it is not in the interests of Goodman Group Securityholders as a whole, or would cause a member of the party's group to contravene or breach applicable laws or particular finance arrangements.

16. Related parties

Independent auditor's review report to the unitholders of Goodman Industrial Trust

We have reviewed the accompanying interim financial report of Goodman Industrial Trust, which comprises the consolidated interim statement of financial position as at 31 December 2015, consolidated interim income statement, consolidated interim statement of comprehensive income, consolidated interim statement of changes in equity and consolidated interim cash flow statement for the half-year ended on that date, notes 1 to 17 comprising a statement of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information and the directors' declaration of the Consolidated Entity comprising the trust and the entities it controlled at the half-year's end or from time to time during the half-year.

Directors' responsibility for the interim financial report

The directors of Goodman Funds Management Limited ("the Responsible Entity") are responsible for the preparation of the interim financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the interim financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor's responsibility

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the interim financial report based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with Auditing Standard on Review Engagements ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity, in order to state whether, on the basis of the procedures described, we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the interim financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including: giving a true and fair view of the Consolidated Entity's financial position as at 31 December 2015 and its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and complying with Australian Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001. As auditor of Goodman Industrial Trust, ASRE 2410 requires that we comply with the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the annual financial report.

A review of an interim financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Independence

In conducting our review, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001.

KPMG, an Australian partnership and a member 27 firm of the KPMG network of independent member firms affiliated with KPMG International Cooperative Liability limited by a scheme approved under ("KPMG International"), a Swiss entity. Professional Standards Legislation.

Conclusion

Based on our review, which is not an audit, we have not become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the interim financial report of Goodman Industrial Trust is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including:

  • (a) giving a true and fair view of the Consolidated Entity's financial position as at 31 December 2015 and of its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and
