Q3 FY25 OPERATIONAL UPDATE

28 MAY 2025

Artist impression: Data centre development, Sydney, Australia

Goodman continues to execute its strategy while adapting to the changing technological and geopolitical environment. The Group is making progress across a range of logistics and data centre opportunities and is well positioned to support customer need for essential infrastructure, over the long-term. The Group maintains its forecast FY25 Operating EPS growth of 9%.

“Long-term structural demand drivers are intact, however, the uncertain economic and trade environment is delaying customer decisions in the logistics space. Desire for modern, sustainable, logistics facilities in central locations, where automation can improve productivity continues. Space is scarce in our markets, and supply in our locations remains limited.

In the data centre space, we continue to see significant capex growth from hyperscale operators as they work to meet rising demand for cloud and AI services. With a globally diverse portfolio of identified development opportunities and a 5GW power bank concentrated in low latency, metropolitan areas, the Group is well placed to support these growing requirements.

We are using this time to take advantage of the current market by acquiring large-scale sites which will be future long-term regeneration opportunities. Goodman has substantial available liquidity of $6.3bn[1] to execute our program and wecontinue to work with major infrastructure and real estate investors to provide long-term capital. Our team around the world is focused on execution to deliver the significant opportunity we have before us”.

- Greg Goodman, Group CEO

PROPERTYINVESTMENT

Our customers’ desire to improve productivity continues, focused on demand for key locations, intensification of warehousing, increases in automation and technology. We expect this to support longterm portfolio fundamentals and overall demand for industrial space in our markets. Customer decision making is currently being influenced by the ongoing uncertainty in global economies and trade. Property fundamentals in our markets are sound and remain underpinned by low vacancy rates, positive rental growth and minimal new supply.

Key highlights at 31 March 2025:

    • Annual like for like NPI growth of 4.5%
    • Portfolio occupancy of 96.5%
    • Portfolio WALE of 4.7 years[5]
    • Leased 3.6 million[5] sqm across the platform over the 12-month period to 31 March 2025, equating to $523 million[5] of rental income per annum.

Passing rents have increased (through rent reviews) faster than market rents have grown, with the average expected rent reversion to market across the portfolio now 16%[7] (from 17% at December 2024).

Property fundamentals in Mainland China continue to be weaker and were a key contributor to the increased vacancy rate over the period.

Valuations are stable in most regions with some cap rate tightening recorded over the period. We expect high occupancy, development activity and cash flow growth to continue to support long-term returns.

The Group continues to optimise the long-term asset value of its existing investment portfolio through strategic planning outcomes. It is providing future development and growth opportunities through multistorey logistics, data centres and residential. The Group remains focussed on monetising residential opportunities through planning initiatives across the Australian portfolio.

DEVELOPMENT

The Group has a significant and globally diversified development portfolio and we continue to progress and position our sites for delivery as appropriate. The development metrics reflect the quality of the workbook in our urban locations.

  • Work in progress of $13.7 billion¹ at 31 March 2025

  • This represents an annualised production rate of $6.2 billion[1,2]

  • The yield on cost (YOC) on current WIP is 7.1%, with the YOC on commencements (for the nine months to 2025) at 9.0%

  • 68% of WIP is either pre-sold or being built for third parties or our Partnerships

  • WIP is 60% committed

  • Data centres under construction currently represent >50% of WIP.

The forecast for data centre power demand in metropolitan (low latency) locations by hyperscale operators has risen, along with the anticipated capital expenditure. The Group is actively engaged in discussions with several global customers.

Our power bank provides global scale, and we are responding to strong data centre demand across our locations. Our sites are predominantly located in metropolitan areas, supporting the increasing use of cloud-based technologies fuelled by the migration of data globally, the transfer of data off premises and growing requirements generated through AI inferencing . Goodman is responding to a range of infrastructure deployments from powered shell to fully fitted facilities with operational solutions.

The Group expects to have commenced the development of new powered shells and fully fitted projects by June 2026 reflecting ~0.5 GW of power with an estimated end value of >$10 billion

We continue to execute the physical works program through securing power and planning and commencing infrastructure and ground works in order to increase speed to market. At the same time, we are in discussions with a range of potential investment partners for the development and long-term ownership of the assets.

MANAGEMENT

The Group and Partnerships’ assets under management (AUM) increased over the period, with acquisitions, development capex, revaluation gains and FX, all positively contributing to the movement. External AUM is expected to increase on finalisation of a new Partnership in North America. Cap rates have stabilised in most regions (ex-China), with gains recorded over the quarter in some markets.

    • The total portfolio increased to $85.8 billion, with Partnership AUM of $71.8 billion as at 31 March 2025
    • Weighted average cap rate across the Group and Partnership portfolios is down marginally to 5.12%

Our Partnerships continue to evolve with our business to optimise capital allocation for the development of data centre and logistics opportunities. The Group continues to actively work with several infrastructure and real estate partners to establish vehicles for development and long-term ownership which will provide the Group with financial flexibility relating to the origination of developments and timing of divestments.

OUTLOOK

Commenting on the outlook, Greg Goodman said:

“Customer demand across our industrial portfolio is currently being influenced by the uncertainty around international trade and its impact on global growth. However, our customers continue to enhance their supply chain productivity through locatio ~~ns~~ and technology. Lack of new supply and customer retention in our markets is supporting underlying property fundamentals (ex China). The potential for the continued regeneration of our existing sites, including intensification and alternative use, is providing further options for the Group, and enhancing development outcomes.

Our development activities are forecast to continue to provide attractive margins relative to risk, with our locations expected to continue to drive rental growth and maintain high occupancy rates across the portfolio. Hyperscale operator capex programs are forecast to grow and drive demand for data centres, with supply constraints in metropolitan and low latency locations supporting leasing. The Group is well positioned to support this through our access to power on existing sites and proven track record in delivering complex infrastructure developments. Substantial data centre commencements are expected to be reflected in WIP progressively through to June 2026.

We continue to assess the Group’s capital allocation, to both existing and potential opportunities, including the creation of new joint ventures and Partnerships for data centres and logistics, which will support the growth in our enterprise value over time. The Group will consider its ownership participation as appropriate. The active rotation of our capital will remain a key strategy to fund sustained earnings growth over the long-term.”

The Board confirms the forecast FY25 Operating EPS growth of 9% and a full year distribution of 30cps. The Board approves targets annually and reviews forecasts regularly. Forecasts are subject to there being no material adverse change in the market conditions or the occurrence of other unforeseen events.
