GOODMAN GUIDES TO
GROWTH IN DEVELOPMENTS
Q3 FY19 OPERATIONAL UPDATE
----- End of picture text -----

Goodman Group (Goodman or Group) has delivered a strong operating performance for the quarter as customers continue to demand proximity to consumers in urban locations.

This has driven the growing development workbook and consistently strong property fundamentals across the Group’s global portfolio.

“The structural trends of urbanisation, rising consumerism and the ever-increasing need for convenience, continue unabated - driving demand for industrial property in key urban centres.

Customer demand is outstripping supply for urban logistics globally as our customers continue to invest in improving the efficiency of their supply chains. This is leading to consistently high occupancy, steady growth in rents and an increase in development work in progress.

The scale of these projects is growing over time, given the high-value nature of urban sites, and we are continuing to expand our landbank to secure quality locations for our customers for the long-term.”

KEY HIGHLIGHTS

for the nine months to 31 March 2019

    • $44.1 billion total assets under management[1]

OWN

The location of our portfolio remains a critical factor. It supports our customers’ evolving supply chains as they continue to invest in technology to improve their customer service and provide convenience for the end consumer.

This remains the primary driver for space and is being reflected in the strong underlying real estate fundamentals across our portfolio, with consistently high occupancy and steady growth in rents.

    • Leased 2,643,085 sqm across the platform over the period equating to $359 million of rent p.a
    • Like-for-like NPI growth of 3.3%[1]
    • Quality of the portfolio and the focus on infill markets is being reflected in rental growth and total returns in most markets.
    • Occupancy at 98%
    • WALE of 4.7 years

DEVELOP

Our strategic focus on infill markets where demand is strongest, has seen WIP increase to $3.7 billion at 31 March. With several high-value projects in the pipeline soon to commence, we expect WIP to grow to over $4 billion by June 2019.

We continue to expand our land bank globally in key urban locations. These sites will provide high-quality opportunities for our customers in the future and extend the scale of developments and the pipeline in the medium to long-term.

High demand combined with lack of supply in most of our markets is giving us confidence to commence more projects on a speculative basis, with occupancy on completion remaining consistently strong.

    • Development WIP of $3.7 billion across 69 projects with a forecast yield on cost of 7.1% at 31 March 2019
    • Development commencements of $2.4 billion with 50% pre-committed and 83% developed for Partnerships or third parties[1]
    • Continued capital partnering of development projects with 80% of WIP undertaken within Partnerships or for third parties

Development WIP

    • Development completions of $2.5 billion with 81% leased and 83% developed for Partnerships or third parties.[1]

MANAGE

Strong property fundamentals in our markets and solid investment demand are continuing to create a positive environment for Partnership returns.

Given the strong outlook for development completions and portfolio returns, we expect AUM to exceed $45 billion at June 2019 with robust growth over the next few years. Combined with underlying Partnership performance, this should support solid growth in revenue.

    • AUM in Partnerships of $40.8 billion. Growth due to:
  • revaluation gains

  • development completions and net acquisitions

  • exchange rates

    • AUM growth supported by strong development activity and revaluations, generating underlying base management fee revenue
    • Locational factors of the portfolio are contributing to outperformance and will support revenues

OUTLOOK

Given the quality and location of our portfolio we are seeing consistently high occupancy and steady rental growth.

Development activity is currently strong and growing. Given the high-quality locations of our landbank and increasing scale of development projects, we expect WIP to approach $5 billion in FY20.

Combined with ongoing investment demand, we anticipate strong Partnership returns and growth in AUM beyond $45 billion by June 2019.

The Group is focused on incrementally expanding our land bank through strategic acquisitions in the high barrier to entry markets where our portfolio is concentrated. This type of site procurement takes patient capital and provides us with diversified opportunities for the future.

The Group expects that the portfolio will continue to perform strongly and it reaffirms forecast FY19 operating earnings per security of 51.1 cents, up 9.5% on FY18, and distribution per security of 30 cents, up 7% on FY18.
