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

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.
Statement of financial position
| Consolidated | ||
|---|---|---|
| 31 Dec 2015 | 30 Jun 2015 | |
| \$M | \$M | |
| Stabilised investment properties | 2,321.7 | 2,052.2 |
| Cornerstone investments in partnerships | 3,658.2 | 3,166.5 |
| Development holdings | 171.2 | 209.0 |
| Loans to related parties | 3,158.5 | 3,233.1 |
| Cash | 696.6 | 602.4 |
| Other assets | 385.2 | 359.9 |
| Total assets | 10,391.4 | 9,623.1 |
| Interest bearing liabilities | 2,737.6 | 2,604.8 |
| Other liabilities | 815.5 | 824.0 |
| 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.
Lead auditor's independence declaration under section 307C of the Corporations Act 2001

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.

(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 | - |
- 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.

Auditor's responsibility
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the interim financial report based on our review.

Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

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