Outlook and 2023 Guidance

Outlook

  • » Tighter monetary conditions are expected to moderate economic growth over the next 12 months

  • » Volatility in bond yields creating uncertainty for valuation metrics

  • » Higher cost of debt a headwind for 2023 FFO growth

  • » Retail portfolio well positioned with strong retail sales growth momentum, high occupancy, fixed rental increases and ongoing tenant demand. Sales growth is however expected to moderate

  • » Improvement in Office occupancy expected in 2023 as our portfolio benefits from the ‘flight to quality’ and customer demand for our differentiated product offering

  • » Logistics portfolio will continue to benefit from strong demand, limited uncommitted supply, low vacancy and development pipeline creating new high quality product

  • » Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director, Bob Johnston announced his intention to retire by the end of this calendar year and a search has commenced for a successor

2023 Guidance

  • » While uncertainty remains in our trading environment, including the impact of rising interest rates and ongoing inflationary pressures, the Group expects to deliver 2023 FFO of approximately 31.3 cents per security and a distribution of 25.0 cents per security

  • » AgendaGPT has a high quality diversified portfolio, a strong balance sheet and an experienced management team focused on creating long term value for securityholders
