    • Half year operating profit of $421 million
  • Investment income growth softened by asset sales. With the rotation programme essentially complete in FY18, dilutionary effect of sales to reduce in future years.

  • The benefit of maturing high cost swaps and refinance of higher cost debt is starting to flow through

  • Management earnings up 5%, supported by strong property fundamentals and performance fees; anticipating further growth in this segment

  • Development margins strong but GMG share of realised revenue down marginally on 1H FY17 reflecting transition of projects into the Partnerships. Developments expected to show modest growth on a full year basis

==> picture [721 x 171] intentionally omitted <==

OUTLOOK AND SUMMARY

==> picture [78 x 78] intentionally omitted <==

    • Macro trends and technology changes remain supportive of logistics real estate
  • E-commerce and technological solutions driving change in all forms of consumer service fulfillment and will continue to change supply chain and space requirements

    • Strong customer demand and supporting development volumes
  • Further room for cap rate compression across the portfolio throughout the year in line with more recent transactions and global real asset pricing

    • Scarcity of land in urban centres and growing competition from multiple users is influencing intensification of use globally
  • Logistics sites are increasingly being rezoned to multi storey projects in the US, China, UK, Japan

  • Urbanisation continues to drive change of use to residential and demand for e-commerce in close proximity to consumers

  • Widespread technology changes should allow facilitation of a symbiotic existence of industrial in infill / urban areas

  • This is supportive of significant redevelopment and increased intensity of use on Goodman’s existing infill sites

    • The deliberate repositioning of the Group operations and balance sheet over the past five years has established a platform to capitalise on a variety of global financial and economic outcomes
  • Utilised strong operating environment to sell $11 billion of real estate and concentrate the portfolio in high quality, tightly held, infill markets globally, benefiting from scarcity of land and intense competition for space

  • Reduced gearing from 19.5% to 6.4%, secured long term debt (weighted average debt expiry to 7.6 years) and significant liquidity

  • Reduction in development on balance sheet, to reduce earnings volatility and increase return on capital employed

  • Despite these activities produced 7.6% EPS growth over this time

  • This programme has reset the business to continue to deliver strong, sustainable growth in future years

    • Given the strong first half performance and sustained momentum into the second half, forecast FY18 Operating EPS has been upgraded to 46.5 cents (up 8% on FY17)
  • Forecast full year distribution of 28.0 cents per security (up 8% on FY17)
