GPT 2026 AGM Chairman & CEO Addresses
Chairman’s Address
2025 was a pivotal year for the GPT Group as we advanced our strategic goal of becoming Australia's leading diversified real estate manager. We delivered strong operating performance across our core business; we enhanced our management and executive capability to drive operational excellence across our integrated management platform; and we expanded our assets under management.
The Group ended the year with $39.8 billion in assets under management, an increase of $5.4 billion from the prior year. This growth was achieved as we pursue our ambition to shift to co-investments with aligned capital partners.
Across our three major sectors, we made meaningful strides in executing our strategy. In retail, growth was driven by the addition of Belmont Forum and Cockburn Gateway in WA with the Perron Group partnership, Macquarie Centre with the ACRT mandate and Macarthur Square in Sydney and Sunshine Plaza, Queensland. All of these assets were brought across to the GPT Retail management platform. In logistics, we established our second partnership with QuadReal and in office, we ended the year with the acquisition of Grosvenor Place, Sydney in partnership with Commonwealth Superannuation Corporation (CSC). In addition, we also established a new sector-agnostic value-add partnership with a global investment partner.
In the execution of our strategy, our focus continues to be on driving investment returns for securityholders and for our partners. Our $16.6 billion Investment portfolio achieved strong income growth across all sectors, with occupancy[1] of 97.6 per cent and a weighted average lease expiry of 4.5 years. This contributed to NTA of $5.53 and Statutory net profit after tax of $981 million for the year to 31 December 2025.
We upgraded earnings guidance twice during the year, delivering 2025 Funds from Operations per security of 34.0 cents, and a full year Distribution per security of 24.0 cents, in-line with our revised guidance.
Our pooled funds delivered strong performance for our investors. The GPT Wholesale Shopping Centre Fund (GWSCF) returned 11.2 per cent for the year to 31 December

2025, the only retail fund to outperform the MSCI/Mercer All Retail Funds index across every measured period. The GPT Wholesale Office Fund (GWOF) delivered a total return of 7.8 per cent for the year and outperformed its benchmark over 1, 2, 3, and 5 years. These consistent results demonstrate the quality of our investment management capability and the strength of the management platform.
We apply a disciplined approach to capital management. The Group had no unfunded capital commitments, gearing of 31.1 per cent, and ample liquidity of $1.2 billion as at 31 December 2025. Our strong financial standing positions the Group well to progress our growth ambitions and deliver sustainable, profitable growth through the cycle.
Sustainability considerations are integrated into our investment and operating decisions across the business, to optimise asset performance and to enhance portfolio value over the long term. We maintained carbon neutral certification across our wholly-owned and managed operational assets[2] during the year, and have delivered a 94 per cent improvement in Net Scope 1 and 2 emissions intensity since 2019.
Our people are essential to achieving the Group’s ambitions of becoming Australia's leading diversified real estate manager. Our employee engagement survey recorded 87 per cent participation with a score of 74, placing GPT in the top quartile of Australian companies.
We also made important changes to our employee incentive schemes to align performance with value-creation objectives for securityholders. This included introducing a balanced Group Scorecard aligned with our strategy, to determine Short Term Incentives. Pleasingly, staff security ownership has also increased, further aligning our people with the interests of securityholders.
During the year, the Board continued its renewal program, appointing Tony Osmond as an Independent Non-Executive Director, effective 1 March 2026. Tony is standing for election today and brings deep experience in strategic investments and capital markets, aligning with the capabilities needed to achieve our strategy. We will hear from Tony later in the meeting.
While we delivered strong results in 2025, we remain mindful of ongoing challenges. Geopolitical uncertainty, including the war in Iran, and heightened concerns about AI implications for real estate continue to affect investor sentiment globally, while persistent domestic inflation prompted a further 25-basis point interest rate rise in March.

However, our portfolio of high-quality, resilient income-producing assets and our evolution toward an investment-led business model positions us well to navigate this environment. We will maintain a flexible yet disciplined investment approach across our sectors, based on market opportunities, risk profiles, relative value and a clear capital allocation framework. Our focus on creating long-term value and optimising returns will guide our growth ambitions through market cycles.
On behalf of the Board, I thank Russell, the Executive Team and all GPT employees for their dedication during this year of significant progress. To our tenants, capital partners and securityholders, thank you for your trust and ongoing support as we continue to execute our strategy and focus on creating sustainable, long-term value.
CEO’s Address
2025 was a year of meaningful progress for the Group, as we delivered strong financial results and grew assets under management to almost $40 billion across our platform.
In terms of our strategy, each of our four pillars across all our sectors worked in tandem to deliver a great result in the year.
The Investment portfolio maintained high average occupancy and strong positive leasing spreads with 6.3 per cent like-for-like net property income growth reflecting strong operating performance from each of the sectors.
We continued to focus on value creation through disciplined capital deployment. Our $860 million acquisition of a 50 per cent interest in Grosvenor Place alongside our mandate partner CSC, was a landmark transaction which complemented our office portfolio, and provided significant opportunity to capture value by employing our asset management expertise.
Our retail platform grew to nearly $17 billion with the addition of five shopping centres to the management platform. We also commenced the $200 million expansion of the Rouse Hill Town Centre which is on time and on budget with completion expected in the fourth quarter of this year.
Our logistics division was also active in the year, including establishing our third investment strategy with our partner, QuadReal, during the period. And we progressed the build-out of our ~$3 billion logistics development pipeline with approximately $400 million of projects underway in Sydney and Melbourne.
We also continued to invest in our people to ensure we are positioned to take advantage of the opportunities in front of us and grow profitability. This includes

strengthening our investment platform and embedding a research-led approach to capital deployment.
Aligned partnering remains central to our investment management strategy. Our co-investments of between 20 and 50 per cent reflect a genuine alignment of our interests and performance expectations with those of our capital partners.
During the year we were active in our two flagship pooled funds, both of which delivered superior returns to investors. In our shopping centre fund, of which we own approximately a third, we commenced capital raising to support future growth. The fund is well positioned to continue its outperformance against peers.
Also, during the year, we restructured our office fund’s liquidity event that was scheduled for July of this year – and in doing so, provided investors a solution which balances long-term portfolio value with near-term capital requirements.
Beyond these two funds, we were actively investing alongside our partners across all three sectors – demonstrating the depth of our institutional relationships and the trust they have to invest alongside GPT.
We remain committed to our ambition to be Australia’s leading diversified real estate investment manager. Our management platform ended the year with $39.8 billion of assets under management. Of this, third-party capital grew to nearly $28 billion. We are optimistic about the opportunities ahead, but we are mindful that conditions are more complex than twelve months ago. Geopolitical uncertainty, the implications for real estate and the broader economy of AI adoption, prolonged inflation and higher interest rates continue to drive market volatility.
Notwithstanding these headwinds, GPT enters 2026 from a position of strength. Our portfolio is high quality, our balance sheet is well positioned, and our earnings are underpinned by contracted cash flow and near-full occupancy across the platform.
Barring unforeseen circumstances, we continue to expect to deliver full year 2026 FFO of approximately 35.4 cents per security — representing growth of approximately 4 per cent, or 5.7 per cent excluding trading profits — and a distribution of 24.5 cents per security.
On behalf of the leadership team, we thank our securityholders and investment partners, tenants and our employees for their support, collaboration and continued confidence during 2025.
