GPT MANAGEMENT HOLDINGS LIMITED AND ITS CONTROLLED ENTITIES

Directors’ Report

The Directors of GPT Management Holdings Limited (the Company), present their report together with the financial statements of GPT Management Holdings Limited and its controlled entities (the Consolidated Entity) for the full year ended 31 December 2024. The Consolidated Entity is a for profit entity and is stapled to the General Property Trust (Trust). The GPT Group (GPT or the Group) financial statements include the results of the stapled entity as a whole.

GPT Management Holdings Limited is a company limited by shares, incorporated and domiciled in Australia. The registered office and principal place of business is Level 51, 25 Martin Place, Sydney NSW 2000.

1. OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW

The Consolidated Entity’s results are largely driven by the results of the Trust, the Wholesale Funds, GPT QuadReal Logistics Trust, QuadReal Student Accommodation portfolio, and the UniSuper, Australian Core Retail Trust, Commonwealth Superannuation Corporation (CSC) mandates, managed by the Consolidated Entity given that management and other fees are driven by the asset value and performance of the underlying properties within these entities.

About GPT

GPT is one of Australia's leading property groups, with assets under management of $34.1 billion across a portfolio of high quality retail, office and logistics assets.

Review of operations and operating result

The Group's Funds From Operations (FFO) reflects increased FFO contributions from the Retail and Logistics segments, offset by lower income in the Office segment and higher financing costs, as a consequence of a higher weighted average cost of debt versus the prior corresponding period.

The Consolidated Entity’s financial performance for the year ended 31 December 2024 is summarised below.

The net loss after tax for the year ended 31 December 2024 is $40,555,000 (Dec 2023: $8,144,000 net loss after tax)

Consolidated Entity result

The increase in net loss after tax for the year to 31 December 2024 compared to prior year is largely due to revaluation of financial arrangements, lower development management fees and higher impairment expense. This is partially offset by proceeds from the sale of inventory and lower technology expenses.

GPT MANAGEMENT HOLDINGS LIMITED AND ITS CONTROLLED ENTITIES

DIRECTORS’ REPORT

Year ended 31 December 2024

Property management fees

The Consolidated Entity is responsible for property management activities across the retail, office and logistic sectors.

Retail

Property management fees increased by 3 per cent to $38,565,000 in the year primarily as a result of improved asset performance in the Retail segment.

Office

Property management fees increased by 19 per cent to $9,325,000 in the year as a result of the internalisation of property management services for the 2 Park St asset and the full year contribution from the Darling Park and 2 Southbank internalisations in 2023.

Logistics

Property management fees decreased by 3 per cent to $3,737,000 in the year due to fewer leasing deals for the year compared to the prior year.

Development management fees

Development management fees have decreased by 22 per cent to $18,750,000 primarily due to a decrease in development activity compared to 2023 which saw the completion of a number of projects particularly in Office and Logistics segments.

Fund management fees

Fund management fees have increased by 2 per cent to $116,527,000 due to the commencement of the Group’s investment management of the CSC property portfolio in April 2024 comprising of office and retail assets and full year contribution of fees from the QuadReal Student Accommodation portfolio which transitioned to GPT in October 2023, together with increased income from our Retail mandates. This was partially offset by reduced fees from GPT Office Wholesale Fund (GWOF) due to decreased asset values.

Management costs recharged

Management costs recharged increased by 9 per cent to $55,575,000 compared to the prior year due to the proportionate increase in costs brought by the increased scale of the Group associated with asset internalisations.

Proceeds from sale of inventory

Proceeds from the sale of inventory have increased to $84,769,000 due to an increased number of asset sales compared to the prior period.

Expenses

Expenses have increased 41 per cent overall to $367,268,000 primarily due to revaluation of financial arrangements, the cost of sale of inventory and an increase in impairment expense relating to inventory.

Total assets decreased by 25 per cent to $330,727,000 in 2024 (Dec 2023: $443,532,000) primarily due to the sale of inventories, lower receivables due to higher cash receipts during the period, and lower Right-of-use assets.

Total liabilities reduced by 20 per cent to $296,314,000 in 2024 (Dec 2023: $368,394,000) primarily due to reduced borrowings and decreased provision for employee benefits.

Capital management

The Consolidated Entity has no external loans.

The Consolidated Entity has related party borrowings from the Trust and its subsidiaries and joint ventures. Under Australian Accounting Standards, the loans are measured either at fair value or amortised cost at each reporting period.

Going concern

The Consolidated Entity’s financial position is highly dependent on the financial position of GPT given that the Consolidated Entity is funded through intercompany loans from GPT.

GPT is of the opinion that it is able to meet its liabilities and commitments as and when they fall due for at least 12 months from the reporting date. In reaching this position, GPT has taken into account the following factors:

  • Available liquidity, through cash and undrawn facilities, of $1,146.3 million (after allowing for repayment of $340.3 million of outstanding uncommitted facilities) as at 31 December 2024;

  • Weighted average debt facility expiry of 5.1 years, with sufficient liquidity in place to cover the $152.5 million of debt (excluding outstanding uncommitted facilities) due between the date of this report and 31 December 2025.;

  • Primary covenant gearing of 29.1 per cent, compared to a covenant level not exceeding 50.0 per cent, and

  • Interest cover ratio for the 12 months to 31 December 2024 of 4.0 times, compared to a covenant level of not less than 2.0 times.

Cash flows

The cash balance at 31 December 2024 increased to $19,884,000 (Dec 2023: $19,852,000).

Operating activities

Net cash inflows from operating activities have increased in 2024 to $135,136,000 (Dec 2023: $66,934,000) driven by higher net cash receipts from the sale of inventories and lower cash payments for inventories.

Investing activities

Net cash outflows from investing activities have increased to $12,166,000 in 2024 (Dec 2023: $4,491,000) due to higher amounts for purchase of securities for employee incentive schemes.

Financing activities

Net cash outflows from financing activities have increased to $122,938,000 in 2024 (Dec 2023: $59,776,000) primarily due to higher net repayments of related party borrowings.

Dividends

The Company has not paid any dividends for the year to 31 December 2024 (2023: nil).

Prospects

The performance of the Consolidated Entity is driven by property management, development management and fund management fees and the Consolidated Entity’s prospects are closely aligned to the asset values and performance of the underlying properties held by the Trust, the Wholesale Funds, GPT QuadReal Logistics Trust, QuadReal Student Accommodation portfolio, and the UniSuper, Australian Core Retail Trust, Commonwealth Superannuation Corporation (CSC) mandates.

The Australian economic environment stabilised in 2024, and investment activity showed signs of recovery with increased transaction volumes. This trend is expected to continue into 2025, as the Australian market becomes increasingly attractive for investment.

The premium quality, diversified portfolio with high occupancy of the Trust, the Wholesale Funds and mandates, positions the Consolidated Entity well for sustainable and growing earnings.

2. Risk Management

GPT proactively identifies and manages risk to enable informed decisions which protect the value of our assets and realise our strategic objectives.

GPT takes an integrated, enterprise-wide approach to risk management which incorporates culture, conduct, compliance, processes and systems, consistent with AS/NZS ISO 31000:2018.

Risk Management Framework

The Group's Risk Management Framework is overseen by the Board and consists of the following key elements:

  1. Risk Policy – The Risk Policy sets out the Group’s approach to risk management, which is reviewed annually by the Board and the Audit and Risk Committee. The Risk Policy is available on GPT's website.

  2. Risk Appetite Statement – The Board sets GPT’s risk appetite to align with strategy, having regard to GPT's operating environment and key risks. Risk appetite is documented in our Risk Appetite Statement, against which all key investment decisions are assessed.

  3. Risk Governance – The Board is supported in its oversight of the Risk Management Framework by the Audit and Risk Committee, which reviews the effectiveness of the Framework, and by the Executive Team and the Investment Committee.

  4. Risk Culture – GPT maintains a transparent and accountable culture where risk is actively considered and managed in our day-to-day activities. Risk culture is assessed as part of internal audits and tracked using a Risk Culture Scorecard.

  5. Risk Management Processes and Systems – GPT has robust processes and systems in place for the identification, assessment, treatment, assurance and reporting of risk.

Management of key risks in the 2024 operating environment

The impact of macroeconomic and external factors on financial performance continued to be monitored closely by GPT’s Management and Board in 2024.

The elevated interest rate environment, CPI trend pressure on costs, and uncertainty surrounding the broader geopolitical landscape, has continued to pose challenges. Further, capitalisation rate softening has also increased the risk profile for Development.

A disciplined capital management approach and the diversified property portfolio has contributed to delivering financial performance of the Group.

The Office property market remained challenging, however our leasing strategy of adapting to changing market conditions has been key in managing the risk. The focus for 2025 is to continue with the strong leasing momentum from 2024.

Organisational resilience and the ability to respond to disruption continued to be a focus in 2024. A key priority has been to continuously deploy and update GPT's cyber risk management strategy to adapt and respond as the threat landscape becomes more sophisticated. This has included continued monitoring of cyber risk and the potential interruption to business operations. GPT’s cyber security strategy is aligned to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Cyber Security Framework and has also been assessed against ASD Essential 8 mitigation strategies.

A full assessment of GPT’s key risks is set out on page 8.

Emerging risks and opportunities

In addition to the key risks impacting the Group, GPT monitors emerging risks which have the potential to disrupt the business in the future. In many cases, these emerging risks also present opportunities.

A review of emerging risks and GPT’s preparedness for them is undertaken every six months by both the GPT Executive Team and the Audit and Risk Committee.

Some of the risk and opportunities considered in 2024 included:

  • Increasing geopolitical tensions

  • The shift to electric vehicles

  • The transition to clean energy

  • Global trends in ESG regulation, and

  • Mass adoption of generative AI.

3. Governance

Good corporate governance is a fundamental part of GPT's commitment to our securityholders.

Corporate governance plays an integral role in supporting GPT’s business and helping us to deliver on our strategy. It provides the arrangements and practices through which GPT’s strategy and business objectives are set, performance is monitored, and risks are managed. It includes a clear framework for decision making and accountability across the business.

Further information on GPT's corporate governance framework is available in the 2024 Corporate Governance Statement.

The Board and Committees

The Board comprises six independent Non-Executive Directors and the CEO and Managing Director. The Chairman of the Board is an independent Non-Executive Director who is responsible for providing leadership to the Board. Biographies for each of the Directors, including their experience and qualifications, are available on page 17.

During 2024, Louise Mason was appointed to the Board following the retirement of Rob Whitfield. Ms Mason brings extensive experience as a property executive and has added to the Board’s existing skills mix, particularly given her experience across multiple property sectors and development.

The Board has established the Audit and Risk, Human Resources and Remuneration and Nomination Committees to assist in carrying out its responsibilities. To better align the roles of the Board and its Committees, in 2024, the Board agreed to discontinue the Sustainability and Risk Committee and merge its functions into the Board, the Audit and Risk Committee, and the Human Resources and Remuneration Committee, in place of the previously separate Audit and Sustainability and Risk Committees. The Board also establishes special purpose committees as may be required from time-to-time to focus on specific matters.

The Chairman of each Committee is an independent Non-Executive Director with the appropriate qualifications and experience to carry out that role. The Board receives minutes of Board Committee meetings and updates from the Chairman of each Committee to ensure that there is an appropriate flow of information between the Committees and the Board.

Each Committee has a formal Charter setting out its responsibilities which is reviewed at least every three years. Copies of those Charters are available in the Corporate Governance section of GPT’s website.

Culture

The Board is committed to a transparent and inclusive culture at GPT and understands the importance of the Board and Management’s role in promoting and supporting behaviours that underpin the desired culture. The Board regularly meets with various levels of the organisation, both formally at meetings and informally during asset tours and staff functions, to test and observe the organisation’s culture. In addition, a culture dashboard is reported to the Board regularly through its Committees and the results of GPT’s Employee Engagement Survey and planned actions to address any issues raised are reported to the Board’s Human Resources and Remuneration Committee.

Code of Conduct

The Group’s Code of Conduct (Code) is an important aspect of establishing and maintaining GPT’s culture and sets out the standards of behaviour expected of Directors and employees.

All Directors and employees are bound by the Code. In addition to setting out what our expectations are of our people, the Code articulates the consequences if these expectations are not met. The Board is informed of any material breaches of the Code of Conduct via the Human Resources and Remuneration and Audit and Risk Committees. For further information regarding any breaches that occurred during the year, see GPT’s Sustainability Data Dashboard for full details.

Corporate Governance Framework

The Board’s Governance Framework, as shown on page 12, is based on accountability, effective delegation and adequate oversight to support sound decision making. The Board is accountable to securityholders for GPT’s performance and responsible for the overall management and governance of GPT, as well as setting GPT’s strategic objectives and risk appetite.

Details of GPT’s governance arrangements, including key policies, can be found in the Corporate Governance section of the website. These key policies are reviewed regularly for appropriateness, to enable GPT to meet regulatory requirements and evolving stakeholder expectations, and maintain a high standard of corporate governance.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT

Year ended 31 December 2024

Key areas of governance focus in 2024

The Board was actively engaged in its governance responsibilities throughout the year, fulfilling its role in accordance with the Board and Committee Charters. Clear planning and agenda-setting enables the Board and its Committees to use their time effectively.

Time was allocated in 2024 to hear from experts in relevant fields, both internal and external to GPT, to further the Board’s knowledge in specific areas. In addition, the Board toured GPT’s assets and engaged directly with GPT’s people.

The Board visited GPT’s offices and assets in Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne. The Board also gained insights and a deeper level of knowledge on topics such as GPT’s developments, economic outlook, capital markets, outlook for Australian property across various sectors, nature-related risk management and issues and crisis management.

Board skills and experience

The Board is committed to a mix of skills, experience and expertise to enable it to discharge its responsibilities. The Board has a gender target of 40 per cent female, 40 per cent male and 20 per cent of any gender that hold the relevant skills and experience. As at 31 December 2024, 57 per cent of the Directors were female and 43 per cent male.

The Board also consists of a mix of tenures to balance knowledge of GPT and our business with fresh insights. 50 per cent of NonExecutive Directors have less than three years tenure and 50 per cent have greater than three years at 31 December 2024. The average tenure of Non-Executive Directors is 3.8 years.

The Board has identified the skills and experience set out in the matrix on page 15 as those required for Directors to provide effective governance and direction for the Group. The matrix is reviewed on a regular basis, in line with GPT’s strategic direction and changes in Directors’ skills and experience, and used by the Board as a key component of succession planning, Committee membership and professional development.

Having assessed its composition and the results of the analysis set out above, the Board considers that it has the appropriate mix of skills and experience to enable it to discharge its responsibilities.

Induction and training

On commencement of employment, all Directors and employees undertake an induction program which includes information on GPT’s values, Code of Conduct, health and safety, and employment practices and procedures. In addition for Director induction, any new Directors meet with the members of the Executive Team and visit our assets as appropriate to discuss GPT’s strategy, our various businesses, our financial position and performance and risk management. This induction program was provided on the appointment of Louise Mason as a Director during 2024.

Ongoing development is incorporated into the Board calendar which provides that Directors, individually and collectively, develop and maintain the skills and knowledge required for the Board to fulfil its role and responsibilities.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT

Tax Transparency

Consistent with our commitment to good corporate governance, GPT is committed to managing the Group’s tax obligations responsibly and in compliance with all laws and regulations.

The GPT Group is a stapled entity, a common arrangement in the Australian real estate sector. Each GPT security listed on the ASX is comprised of a share in GPT Management Holdings Limited (GMH) that is ‘stapled’ to a unit in General Property Trust (GPT). GPT is a unit trust (Managed Investment Trust) that is treated separately to GMH for Australian tax purposes. The GPT Group conducts our business only in Australia.

Tax Risk Management Framework

GPT has a Tax Risk Management Framework that is reviewed by the Audit and Risk Committee and reflects our conservative risk appetite with respect to taxation. By applying this framework, GPT is able to manage our tax obligations efficiently, comply with tax laws and mitigate transaction-related tax risks.

The Tax Risk Management Framework provides a holistic governance approach that ensures compliance with tax law through the implementation of tax-related policies, processes, procedures and systems across the Group's business. GPT applies this framework across the broader business to fully integrate the taxation implications of transactions, projects and business initiatives into day-to-day activities.

Private tax rulings, external advice and counsel opinion are obtained as necessary to ensure the correct application of the tax law to the Group's business.

Our tax contribution

The payment of applicable taxes is an important aspect of GPT’s contribution to the Australian economy. The GPT Group’s real estate investment assets are held in a trust (GPT) that is owned by securityholders. Under Australian tax law, distributions of income arising from real estate investments held by the Trust is taxed at the securityholders levels. All other profits that arise from trading activities are earned by GMH and are subject to the Australian corporate income tax rate of 30 per cent.

GPT is also subject to goods and services tax, stamp duty, council rates, land tax, payroll tax, fringe benefits tax, and remits ‘pay as you go’ withholding taxes on behalf of employees and investors.

Tax Transparency Code

GPT reports in accordance with the voluntary Tax Transparency Code (TTC) issued by the Board of Taxation. The TTC recommends a set of principles and minimum standards for the disclosure of tax information by businesses.

Tax disclosures

Information regarding taxation of the Company is disclosed in the Financial Statements in note 10.

Year ended 31 December 2024

Environmental regulation

GPT has policies and procedures in place that are designed to ensure that where operations are subject to any particular and significant environmental regulation under a law of Australia (for example property development and property management), those obligations are identified and appropriately addressed. This includes obtaining and complying with conditions of relevant authority consents and approvals and obtaining necessary licences. GPT is not aware of any significant breaches of any environmental regulations under the laws of the Commonwealth of Australia or of a State or Territory of Australia and has not incurred any significant liabilities under any such environmental legislation.

GPT is subject to the reporting requirements of the National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting Act 2007 (“NGER Act”). The NGER Act requires GPT to report its annual greenhouse gas emissions and energy consumption and generation for the 12 month period from 1 July to 30 June. GPT has implemented systems and processes for the collection and calculation of the data required. The data is assured and submitted to the Australian Government Clean Energy Regulator by the legislative deadline of 31 October each year. GPT complied with the Regulator’s submissions requirements for the period ended 30 June 2024 within the required timeframe.

Information about GPT's participation in the NGER program is available on our website: www.gpt.com.au

Indemnification and insurance of directors officers and auditors

GPT provides a Deed of Indemnity and Access (Deed) in favour of each of the Directors and Officers of GPT and its subsidiary companies and each person who acts or has acted as a representative of GPT serving as an officer of another entity at the request of GPT. The Deed indemnifies these persons on a full indemnity basis to the extent permitted by law for losses, liabilities, costs and charges incurred as a Director or Officer of GPT, its subsidiaries or such other entities.

Subject to specified exclusions, the liabilities insured are for costs that may be incurred in defending civil or criminal proceedings that may be brought against Directors and Officers in their capacity as Directors and Officers of GPT, its subsidiary companies or such other entities, and other payments arising from liabilities incurred by the Directors and Officers in connection with such proceedings.

During the financial year, GPT paid insurance premiums to insure the Directors and Officers of GPT and its subsidiary companies. The terms of the contract prohibit the disclosure of the premiums paid.

GPT has agreed to indemnify the auditors out of the assets of GPT if GPT has breached the agreement under which the auditors are appointed.

Non-audit services

During the year PricewaterhouseCoopers, GPT’s auditor, has performed other services in addition to their statutory duties. Details of the amounts paid to the auditor, which includes amounts paid for non-audit services and other assurance services, are set out in note 22 to the financial statements.

The Directors have considered the non-audit services and other assurance services provided by the auditor during the financial year. In accordance with advice received from the Audit Committee, the Directors are satisfied that the provision of non-audit services by the auditor is compatible with, and did not compromise, the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 for the following reasons:

  • The Audit Committee Chairman reviewed the non-audit services and other assurance services to ensure that they did not impact upon the integrity and objectivity of the auditor

  • The Audit Committee's own review concluded that the auditor independence was not compromised, having regard to the Board’s policy with respect to the engagement of GPT’s auditor, and

  • The fact that none of the non-audit services provided by PricewaterhouseCoopers during the financial year had the characteristics of management, decision making, self review, advocacy or joint sharing of risks.

Auditor’s independence declaration

A copy of the auditor’s independence declaration as required under section 307C of the Corporations Act 2001 is set out on page 42 and forms part of the Directors’ Report.

Rounding of amounts

The amounts contained in this report and in the financial statements have been rounded to the nearest thousand dollars unless otherwise stated (where rounding is applicable) under the option available to the Consolidated Entity under ASIC Corporations (Rounding in Financial/Directors’ Reports) Instrument 2016/191. The Consolidated Entity is an entity to which the Instrument applies.

Introduction from the Chairman of the Human Resources and Remuneration Committee

I am pleased to present the 2024 Remuneration Report on behalf of the Human Resources and Remuneration Committee (HRRC or Committee).

This report is designed to provide investors and other stakeholders with a clear understanding of how our remuneration is structured, how it aligns with our performance and strategic objectives, and how it incentivises management to deliver longterm value.

2024 marked a pivotal year for GPT in which we outlined our ambition to become Australia’s leading diversified real estate investment manager. This shift in emphasis from primarily direct property ownership to focus on aligned investment alongside third-party capital has been designed to support sustainable earnings growth that ultimately drives securityholder value. Our strategy is enabled by leveraging the existing operational excellence present in our business, supplemented through new executive appointments and refinements to the organisational design.

Organisation and Leadership Changes

During 2024, the professional capability of the organisation’s leadership has been aligned with the shift in strategy and has included substantial changes in the executive and senior leadership.

These changes have included the appointment of Russell Proutt as Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Managing Director, following the retirement of Bob Johnston. Following Russell’s commencement, he announced the appointment of Merran Edwards as Chief Financial Officer (CFO) and Mark Harrison as Chief Investment Officer (CIO).

Together with the strength of the existing team, this new leadership provides the business with the depth and breadth of capabilities required to successfully execute on our strategy.

Our remuneration philosophy remains unchanged with the primary objective being to design an incentive structure that attracts, retains and motivates exceptional talent to execute our strategy in line with securityholder interests. With this in mind, along with the refresh of the strategy, 2024 has been a transition year in which the Short Term Incentive Compensation (STIC) program and the Long Term Incentive (LTI) were modified to promote focus and alignment.

2024 Remuneration Changes

  • STIC awards continue to be awarded as 50 percent cash and 50 percent deferred rights. In addition this year we introduced a requirement that any portion of the STIC award that exceeds 80 per cent of the participant's target, will be awarded as rights and subject to one year deferral. This change is intended to facilitate greater ownership opportunity and participation for high performing employees.

  • To further align Executive and Securityholder interests, this year we introduced the option for our Executives and Senior Leaders to defer a portion or all of any cash STIC awarded into rights. The CEO has elected to defer all of his cash STIC into rights, resulting in a 100 per cent deferral in 2024.

  • LTI granted in 2024 will be measured against growth in Adjusted Funds from Operations (AFFO) and the Relative Total Securityholder Returns (RTSR) over multi-year periods. We believe these two measures are effective financial metrics to support sustainable growth and securityholder value creation. The RTSR evaluation methodology was updated from 2024 to be consistent with market practice, using a quartile measure relative to the constituents (equally weighted) of the comparator group (ASX200 A-REIT Index excluding Goodman Group and GPT Group).

  • In 2024, the performance period for LTI was extended from three to four years. To facilitate this transition; half of the 2024 award will have a performance period of three years and the other half will have a performance period of four years. Starting in 2025, the performance period will be four years.

2025 Remuneration Changes

The Committee has refined our framework to further align with the strategic direction of the business. These changes were signalled to major investors and proxy advisors as part of our 2024 Governance Roadshow.

To ensure our short-term incentive compensation aligns to our performance and strategy, the most significant change that will be made for 2025, is to move from a sole Funds From Operations (FFO) measure to the introduction of a Group Scorecard to inform the determination of the annual incentive (STIC) pool to be applied following the application of a minimum FFO earnings gateway. The scorecard has been designed to incentivise our teams, based on financial (75 per cent) and non-financial (25 per cent) measures, to deliver the desired value creation outcomes across our business. The metrics selected for 2025 provide a critical link between our strategy and securityholder value, including allocating greater weightings to earnings from investment management and capital management and a reduced weighting of the current year’s FFO outcome. Further information on each measure and their linkage to our performance is provided in the table on page 27.

2024 Performance and Outcomes

For the full year, we reported FFO of 32.2 cents per security which was in line with the full year guidance. Across our investment portfolio, we had strong asset level performance in all of our sectors and have started to progress the implementation of our refined strategy.

For 2024, the Committee approved an average fixed remuneration increase budget of 3.5 per cent for eligible employees. No fixed increases were awarded to Executive KMP in 2024.

The outcomes for our short-term incentive compensation plan (STIC) have been evaluated in the context of individual and company performance. Our Executives were instrumental in the design and initial implementation of our shift in strategy while also delivering performance outcomes in-line with market guidance for the year. In light of this, the CEO received a STIC payment of $1,253,425, being 100 per cent of the target award (pro-rated for service period during the year) and the CFO received a STIC payment of $300,000, being 100 per cent of the target award (pro-rated for service period during the year). There was no 2024 STIC paid to outgoing KMP.

The long-term incentive (LTI) plan is a critical component of our remuneration structure to align resources over time to deliver value to securityholders. The 2022-2024 LTI plan vested at 15.44 per cent. The vesting is calculated with the RTSR metric achieving a 30.88 per cent vesting outcome and the Total Return metric achieving a nil vesting outcome.

The Committee determined that a 3.2 per cent increase would be applied to NED fees for 2024.

Our People and Culture

2024 has been a year of building organisational capability to deliver for the future. We have leveraged our strong employment brand and attracted top talent from the market to complement our existing organisation capability.

This year we received a top quartile engagement score (76 per cent) in the annual employee engagement survey with 88 per cent of employees being proud to work at GPT and 89 per cent believing GPT is a great place to work.

Our Board is gender diverse (57 per cent females) as is our Executive team (38 per cent females) and we continue to maintain strong gender diversity outcomes across our senior leadership cohort (44 per cent females). We proudly ranked in the top five globally out of 3,795 publicly listed companies in Equileap's annual Gender Equality Report.

We are committed to foster a culture and maintain a capability where the best decisions are made, fair outcomes are delivered, and workforce performance is optimised.

Looking Ahead

As we look to 2025 and beyond, we are extremely well positioned to succeed in the pursuit of our ambition to be Australia’s leading diversified real estate investment manager. The Committee will continue to monitor the effectiveness of the remuneration framework and will refine and evolve as needed to ensure it remains aligned with our strategy and securityholder expectations. Our primary objective is to design an effective system of incentives to promote a culture of performance, accountability, and value creation.

Thank you for your continued support, we welcome feedback and comments from investors and stakeholders regarding this report.

Sincerely,

Short Term

Incentive Drive achievement of the short-term financial, strategic, operational and people objectives as agreed by the Board. Compensation Mandatory and voluntary deferral support alignment to sustainable securityholder value creation. (STIC) A minimum of 50 per cent is awarded as deferred rights (mandatory deferral) 1 , deferred for one year, with the remainder as cash. 2 Executives can elect to receive up to 100 per cent of their cash STIC award as rights (voluntary deferral) . Long Term Rewards delivery of sustained long term securityholder value. Incentive (LTI) LTI awards are measured against Adjusted Funds from Operations (AFFO) and the Relative Total Securityholder Returns (RTSR) 3 over three and four year periods . If LTI plan conditions are met, the requisite number of performance rights will convert to GPT securities, alternatively, performance rights will lapse. All vested and unvested awards are subject to malus and clawback provisions.

  1. Any STIC award above 80 per cent of Target STIC will be awarded as deferred rights, with the remainder awarded as 50 per cent cash and 50 per cent deferred rights (mandatory deferral).

  2. The voluntary deferral is made up of rights to acquire GPT securities with a minimum deferral period of 12 months from the end of the performance period. Participants can elect the timing of the exercise of the rights for a period of up to 10 years from the vesting date. These rights will not be subject to forfeiture on termination of employment.

  3. 2024 has been a transition year for the LTI plan where the performance period was extended from three to four years. In 2024 the award was equally divided across performance periods of three and four years and then from 2025, the performance period will be four years.

==> picture [539 x 127] intentionally omitted <==

The CEO’s performance rights are granted following the relevant resolution’s approval at the Annual General Meeting.

Minimum Security Holding Requirement (MSHR)

GPT’s Minimum Security Holding Policy requires Non-Executive Directors, the CEO and members of the Executive Team to build and maintain a minimum holding of GPT securities. The policy requires the CEO to maintain a holding equal to 150 per cent of fixed remuneration. For Non-Executive Directors, other KMP and Executive Team members, the MSHR is equal to 100 per cent of fixed remuneration or board fees. For Non-Executive Directors, the base fee on the date of appointment, and in the case of the Chairman, the date of becoming the Chairman, is the requirement. The minimum holding must be met within five years for the CEO and Executive Team, and within four years for Non-Executive Directors.

Clawback and Malus

GPT’s Clawback Policy provides the Board with the discretion to modify remuneration outcomes as a result of adverse circumstances that arise or become known after remuneration has been granted, paid or vested. Individuals who participate in the STIC and LTI are subject to these awards being adjusted, cancelled or clawed back if a trigger event occurs. No trigger events occurred in 2024, and the Board did not enact the Clawback Policy during the reporting period.

  1. TSR is calculated as the percentage growth in GPT’s security price from the last trading date of the previous financial year to the last trading date of the current financial year, together with the value of distributions received during the year, assuming that all of those distributions are reinvested into new securities.

  2. GPT's TSR compared to the TSR of the S&P/ASX 200 A-REIT Index. From 2021 this was adjusted to exclude Goodman Group and The GPT Group.

  3. Group total return is defined as the sum of the change in net tangible assets (NTA) per security plus distributions per security over the performance period, divided by the NTA per security at the beginning of the performance period.

  4. Includes all right-of-use assets of The GPT Group.

  5. AFFO is calculated as FFO less maintenance capex, leasing incentives and one-off items calculated in accordance with the Property Council of Australia voluntary best practice guidelines for disclosing FFO and AFFO. The calculation of AFFO can be found in the Financial Results table in the Group Performance section of this Annual Report.

2. 2024 Short Term Incentive Compensation (STIC) funding

GPT's STIC plan provides executive KMP with the opportunity to be rewarded for their performance consistent with the Group's strategic and operational goals. FFO was used by the Committee and the Board to determine the size of the overall STIC pool.

No 2024 STIC was awarded to Bob Johnston, Dean McGuire or Mark Fookes.

  1. The number of Voluntary deferred GPT rights is calculated by dividing the elected percentage of Cash STIC to be deferred by GPT’s 30-day VWAP of $4.5626 immediately before the end of the performance period. Minimum voluntary deferral is 12 months, to 31 December 2025.

  2. Any award over 80 percent of target STIC is subject to a mandatory deferral into rights. As a result, both Executive KMP had a mandatory deferral of 60 per cent of their actual STIC. The number of rights awarded is calculated by dividing 60 per cent of the actual STIC by GPT’s 30day VWAP of $4.5626 immediately before the end of the performance period. Vesting is subject to continued service to 31 December 2025.

  3. The maximum value to be recognised is the fair value amount at the grant date yet to be reflected in the Group's consolidated income statement. The minimum future value is $nil as the future performance and service conditions may not be met.

  4. The 2024 STIC award for Russell Proutt and Merran Edwards was pro-rated from their start date, being 1 March 2024 and 1 July 2024 respectively.

  2. The Relative TSR comparator group, being the S&P/ASX200 A-REIT Accumulation Index, is adjusted to exclude GPT and Goodman Group for LTI plans. TSR is calculated as the percentage growth in GPT’s security price over the performance period, together with the value of distributions received during the performance period, assuming that all of those distributions are reinvested into new securities. Relative TSR was chosen as a performance condition in order to align remuneration outcomes with the relative performance experienced by investors, being a key measure of securityholder value generation.

  3. Group total return is defined as the sum of the change in net tangible assets (NTA) per security plus distributions per security over the performance period, divided by the NTA per security at the beginning of the performance period. Group total return was chosen as a performance condition to reflect the underlying property performance of the business, aligned with the long term returns of the Group.

  4. AFFO per security growth is calculated as the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of AFFO per security from the base year (2023) to the end of the relevant performance period. AFFO per security growth was chosen as it measures the underlying earnings of the business, adjusting for maintenance capital expenditure and lease incentives. Growth in this metric will reward in a manner which is aligned to the underlying performance of the portfolio.

  5. Entries of "n/a" are for awards that are part-way through their performance periods and where the testing date is in the future.

Receivables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method less any allowance under the ‘expected credit loss’ (ECL) model. The Consolidated Entity holds these financial assets in order to collect the contractual cash flows and the contractual terms are solely payments of outstanding principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

All loans and receivables with maturities greater than 12 months after the balance date are classified as non-current assets.

Recoverability of loans and trade receivables

Management has assessed whether these balances are “credit impaired”, and recognised a loss allowance equal to the lifetime ECL. A financial asset is 'credit-impaired' when one or more events that have a detrimental impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset is expected to occur.

Lifetime ECLs are the ECLs that result from all possible default events over the expected life of the receivables and are a probability-weighted estimate of credit losses. Credit losses are measured as the present value of all cash shortfalls (i.e. the difference between the cash flows due to the entity in accordance with the contract and the cash flows that the Consolidated Entity expects to receive).

The Consolidated Entity analyses the age of outstanding receivable balances and applies historical default percentages adjusted for other current observable data as a means to estimate lifetime ECL. Other current observable data may include:

  • forecasts of economic conditions such as unemployment, interest rates, gross domestic product and inflation; and

  • financial difficulties of a counterparty or probability that a counterparty will enter bankruptcy.

Debts that are known to be uncollectible are written off when identified.

Management rights

Management rights include property management and development management rights. Rights are initially measured at cost and rights with a definite life are subsequently amortised over their useful life.

For the management rights of Highpoint Shopping Centre, management considers the useful life as indefinite as there is no fixed term included in the management agreement. Therefore, the Consolidated Entity tests for impairment at balance date. Assets are impaired if the carrying value exceeds their recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is determined using a discounted cash flow. A 13.75 per cent pre-tax discount rate and 3.22 per cent growth rate have been applied to these asset specific cash flow projections.

IT development and software

Costs incurred in developing systems and acquiring software and licenses that will contribute future financial benefits and which the Consolidated Entity controls (therefore excluding Software as a Service) are capitalised until the software is capable of operating in the manner intended by management. These include external direct costs of materials and services and direct payroll and payroll related costs of employees’ time spent on the project. Amortisation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the length of time that benefits are expected to be received, ranging from 5 to 7 years.

IT development and software are assessed for impairment at each reporting date by evaluating if any impairment triggers exist. Where impairment indicators exist, management calculates the recoverable amount. The asset is impaired if the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount. Critical judgements are made by management in setting appropriate impairment indicators and assumptions used to determine the recoverable amount.

Management believe the carrying value reflects the recoverable amount.

Costs incurred in relation to Software as a Service are recognised as an expense as incurred.

Properties held as inventory are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value (NRV).

Cost

Cost includes the cost of acquisition and any subsequent capital additions. For development properties, cost also includes development, finance costs and all other costs directly related to specific projects including an allocation of direct overhead expenses. Post completion of the development, finance costs and other holding charges are expensed as incurred. When inventories are sold, the carrying amount of those inventories is recognised as an expense in the period in which the related revenue is recognised. For wholly owned, internally managed developments, this expense is determined on a forward looking, revenue proportional basis.

NRV

The NRV is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less estimated costs to sell and where relevant any estimated cost of completion. At each reporting date, management reviews these estimates by taking into consideration:

  • the most reliable evidence; and

  • any events which confirm conditions existing at the period end and cause any fluctuations of selling price and costs to sell.

The amount of any inventory write down is recognised as an impairment expense in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income.

The Consolidated Entity completed NRV assessments for each inventory asset for the year and has compared the results to the cost of each asset, as a result an impairment expense of $14,170,000 has been recognised (2023: $1,000,000 impairment expense).

The value of property, plant and equipment is measured as the cost of the asset less depreciation and impairment. The cost of the asset includes acquisition costs and any costs directly attributable to bring the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management. Subsequent costs are included in the asset's carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Consolidated Entity and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income during the financial period in which they are incurred.

Depreciation

Items of property, plant and equipment are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their useful lives. The estimated useful life is between 3 and 40 years.

Impairment

The Consolidated Entity tests property, plant and equipment for impairment where there is an indicator that the asset may be impaired. An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount.

The Consolidated Entity has assessed the property plant and equipment for impairment indicators and believe the current carrying values are appropriate.

Disposals

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds from disposals with the carrying amount of the property, plant and equipment and are included in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income in the period of disposal.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Year ended 31 December 2024

Provisions are recognised when:

  • the Consolidated Entity has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event;

  • it is probable that resources will be expended to settle the obligation; and

  • a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

Provisions are measured at the present value of management’s best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the obligation.

Provision for employee benefits

The provision for employee benefits represents annual leave and long service leave accrued for employees. The employee benefit liability expected to be settled within twelve months after the end of the reporting period is recognised in current liabilities. The non-current provision relates to entitlements, including long service leave, which are due to be payable after more than twelve months from the reporting date. It is measured as the present value of expected future payments for the service provided by employees up to the reporting date. Consideration is given to expected future wage and salary levels, experience of employee departures and periods of service. Expected future payments are discounted using market yields at balance date on high quality corporate bonds with terms to maturity and currency that match, as closely as possible to the estimated future cash outflows. Employee benefit on-costs are recognised together with the employee benefits and included in employee benefit liabilities.

Effective tax rate

The Australian Accounting Standards Board have issued a Draft Appendix to the TTC outlining the method to calculate the effective tax rate as shown in the table above, using:

  • accounting profit before tax adjusted to exclude transactions which are not reflected in the calculation of income tax expense; and

  • tax expense adjusted to exclude carry forward tax losses that have been recognised and prior year under/overstatements.

Income tax expense

Income tax expense for the financial year is the tax payable on the current year’s taxable income. This is adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences.

Deferred income tax liabilities and assets – recognition

Deferred income tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences.

Deferred income tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, carried forward unused tax assets and unused tax losses, to the extent it is probable that taxable profit will be available to utilise them. The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available.

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities – measurement

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date.

Deferred income tax is provided on temporary differences at the reporting date between accounting carrying amounts and the tax cost bases of assets and liabilities, other than for the following where taxable temporary differences relate to investments in subsidiaries, associates and interests in joint ventures:

  • Deferred tax liabilities are not recognised if the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

  • Deferred tax assets are not recognised if it is not probable that the temporary differences will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will not be available to utilise the temporary differences.

Tax relating to equity items

Income taxes relating to items recognised directly in equity are recognised in equity and not in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income.

Calculation of earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is calculated as net profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company, divided by the WANOS outstanding during the financial period which is adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary shares issued during the financial period.

Diluted earnings per share is calculated as net profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company divided by the WANOS and dilutive potential ordinary securities. Where there is no difference between basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share, the term basic and diluted earnings per ordinary share is used.

The related party borrowings from GPT Trust at fair value are subject to limited recourse based on available funds determined by the repayment fund calculation in the loan agreement. Management determined the fair value of these borrowings by forecasting a best estimate of future repayments. The repayments have been discounted at a risk adjusted rate appropriate to the Consolidated Entity to determine the fair value. This has resulted in a revaluation increase of $67,425,000 being recognised on the face of the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income during the year as a result of the historical loans with the Trust being valued at $92,632,000 at 31 December 2024 (Dec 2023: $48,207,000). Refer to note 24 for further information on the fair value calculations.

GPT Trust has suspended interest in connection with the above loans from 3 September 2015. The lender has the option to reinstate interest. The loans are accounted for as non-revolving interest free borrowings that are revalued each reporting date in accordance with accounting standards.

Borrowings other than interest free loans are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Under this method, any transaction fees, costs, discounts and premiums directly related to the borrowings are recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income over the expected life of the borrowings.

15. Financial Risk Management

The Board approves the Consolidated Entity’s treasury policy which:

  • establishes a framework for the management of risks inherent to the capital structure;

  • defines the role of the Consolidated Entity’s treasury; and

  • sets out the policies, limits, monitoring and reporting requirements for cash, borrowings, liquidity, credit risk, foreign exchange and interest rate instruments.

(a) Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Consolidated Entity’s primary interest rate risk arises from interest bearing borrowings. The table below provides a summary of the Consolidated Entity’s gross interest rate risk exposure on interest bearing borrowings together with the net effect of interest rate risk management transactions. This excludes unamortised borrowing costs.

(b) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Consolidated Entity, as a result of its operations:

  • will not have sufficient funds to settle a transaction on the due date;

  • will be forced to sell financial assets at a value which is less than what they are worth; or

  • may be unable to settle or recover a financial asset at all.

The Consolidated Entity manages liquidity risk by maintaining:

  • sufficient cash;

  • an adequate amount of committed credit facilities;

  • a minimum liquidity buffer in cash and surplus committed facilities for the forward rolling twelve month period; and

  • the ability to close out market positions.

The table below shows an analysis of the undiscounted contractual maturities of liabilities which forms part of the Consolidated Entity’s assessment of liquidity risk.

(1) Excluding unamortised borrowing costs and fair value adjustments.

(c) Refinancing risk

Refinancing risk is the risk that credit is unavailable or available at unfavourable interest rates and credit market conditions result in an unacceptable increase in the Consolidated Entity’s interest cost. Refinancing risk arises when the Consolidated Entity is required to obtain debt to fund existing and new debt positions. The Consolidated Entity manages this risk by spreading sources, counterparties and maturities of borrowings in order to minimise debt concentration risk, allow averaging of credit margins over time and reducing refinance amounts.

As at 31 December 2024, the Consolidated Entity’s exposure to refinancing risk can be monitored by the spreading of its contractual maturities on borrowings in the liquidity risk table above together with with the information in note 14.

65

GPT MANAGEMENT HOLDINGS LIMITED AND ITS CONTROLLED ENTITIES

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Year ended 31 December 2024

(d) Foreign exchange risk

Foreign exchange risk refers to the risk that the value of a financial commitment, asset or liability will fluctuate due to changes in foreign exchange rates. The Consolidated Entity’s foreign exchange risk arises primarily from:

  • firm commitments of highly probable forecast transactions for receipts and payments settled in foreign currencies or with prices dependent on foreign currencies; and

  • investments in foreign assets.

Sensitivity to foreign exchange is deemed insignificant.

(e) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that a contracting entity will not complete its obligations under a contractual agreement, resulting in a financial loss to the Consolidated Entity. The Consolidated Entity has exposure to credit risk on all financial assets included in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.

The Consolidated Entity manages this risk by:

  • establishing credit limits for financial institutions and monitoring credit exposures for customers to ensure that the Consolidated Entity only trades and invests with approved counterparties;

  • providing loans to joint ventures, associates and third parties, only where the Consolidated Entity is comfortable with the underlying property exposure within that entity;

  • regularly monitoring loans and receivables balances;

  • regularly monitoring the performance of its associates, joint ventures and third parties; and

  • obtaining collateral as security (where appropriate).

Receivables are reviewed regularly throughout the year.

The maximum exposure to credit risk as at 31 December 2024 is the carrying amounts of financial assets recognised on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. For more information, refer to note 3.

20. Security Based Payments

GPT currently has four employee security schemes – the General Employee Security Ownership Plan (GESOP), the Broad Based Employee Security Ownership Plan (BBESOP), the Deferred Short Term Incentive Plan (DSTIC) and the Long Term Incentive (LTI) Scheme.

(a) GESOP

The Board believes in creating ways for employees to build an ownership stake in the business. As a result, the GESOP is in place for individuals who do not participate in the LTI.

Under the plan individuals who participate receive an additional benefit equivalent to 10 per cent of their short term incentives (STIC). The amount after the deduction of income tax is invested in GPT securities to be held for a minimum of one year. The cost of this benefit is recognised as an expense in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income.

(b) BBESOP

Under the plan individuals who are not eligible to participate in any other employee security scheme may receive $1,000 worth of GPT securities or $1,000 cash if GPT achieves at least target level performance. Securities must be held for the earlier of three years or the end of employment. The cost of this benefit is recognised as an expense in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income.

(c) DSTIC

DSTIC is delivered to the senior executives. In the current year, any short term incentive compensation (STIC) awarded above 80% of target STIC will be awarded as deferred rights, with the remainder awarded as 50 per cent in cash or the option to receive GPT rights (voluntary deferral) and 50 per cent in GPT rights (a mandatory deferred component). The mandatory deferred component is rewarded in deferred rights which vest one year after award, subject to continued employment up to the vesting date. The voluntary deferral rights have a minimum deferral period of 12 months from the end of the performance period and are not subject to forfeiture on termination of employment.

(d) LTI

At the 2009 AGM, GPT securityholders approved the introduction of a LTI plan based on performance rights.

The LTI plan covers each three or four year period. Awards under the LTI to eligible participants are in the form of performance rights which convert to GPT stapled securities for nil consideration if specified performance conditions for the applicable three or four year period are satisfied. Please refer to the Remuneration Report for detail on the performance conditions. The 2024 LTI plan has Adjusted Funds from Operations (AFFO) per security growth as a performance condition. AFFO at December 2024 is $470.0 million.

The Board determines those executives eligible to participate in the plan and, for each participating executive, grants a number of performance rights calculated as a percentage of their base salary divided by GPT’s volume weighted average price (VWAP) for the 30-day period immediately prior to the commencement of the performance period.

Fair value of performance rights and restricted securities under DSTIC and LTI

The fair value of the performance rights is recognised as an employee benefit expense with a corresponding increase in the employee benefits provision and in the employee security scheme reserve in equity. For 2024, employee benefit expense is $4,614,000 (2023: $7,984,000) and employee benefit provision is $6,226,000 as at 31 December 2024 ($12,076,000 as at 31 December 2023). Fair value is measured at each reporting period, recognised over the period from the service commencement date to the vesting date of the performance rights.

Non-market vesting conditions are included in the calculation of the number of rights that are expected to vest. At each reporting date, GPT revises its estimate of the number of performance rights that are expected to vest and the employee benefit expense recognised each reporting period takes into account the most recent estimate. The impact of the revision to original estimates, if any, is recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income with a corresponding adjustment to equity.

24. Fair Value Disclosures

Information about how the fair value of financial instruments are calculated and other information required by the accounting standards, including the valuation process and critical assumptions underlying the valuations are disclosed below.

Fair value measurement, valuation techniques and inputs

Class of assets / Fair value Valuation Classification under Inputs used to Range of unobservable inputs Range of unobservable inputs
liabilities hierarchy technique AASB 9 measure fair value
31 Dec 24 31 Dec 23
Investment in Level 1 Market price Fair value through Market price Not applicable - observable input
financial assets the profit and loss
Interest free loans Level 3 Discounted cash Fair value through Discount rate 8.03% 7.49%
from the Trust flow the profit and loss

The different levels of the fair value hierarchy have been defined as follows:

Level 1 - Fair value is calculated using quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 - Fair value is calculated using 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).

Level 3 - Fair value is calculated using inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

25. Accounting Policies, Key Judgements And Estimates

(a) Basis of preparation

The general purpose financial report has been prepared:

  • in accordance with the requirements of the Company’s constitution, Corporations Act 2001, Australian Accounting Standards (AAS) and other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board and International Financial Reporting Standards;

  • on a going concern basis. In accordance with the considerations in note 25(b);

  • under the historical cost convention, as modified by the revaluation for financial assets and liabilities at fair value through the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income;

  • using consistent accounting policies and adjustments to bring into line any dissimilar accounting policies being adopted by the controlled entities, associates or joint ventures; and

  • in Australian dollars with all values rounded to the nearest thousand dollars, in accordance with ASIC Corporations (Rounding in Financial/Directors’ Reports) Instrument 2016/191, unless otherwise stated. GPT Management Holdings Limited is an entity to which the Instrument applies.

Comparatives in the financial statements have been restated to the current year presentation.

The financial report was approved by the Board of Directors on 17 February 2025.

(b) Going Concern

The Consolidated Entity’s financial position is highly dependent on the financial position of GPT given that the Consolidated Entity is funded through intercompany loans from GPT.

GPT is of the opinion that it is able to meet its liabilities and commitments as and when they fall due for at least 12 months from the reporting date. In reaching this position, GPT has taken into account the following factors

  • Available liquidity, through cash and undrawn facilities, of $1,146.3 million (after allowing for repayment of $340.3 million of outstanding uncommitted facilities) as at 31 December 2024;

  • Weighted average debt facility expiry of 5.1 years, with sufficient liquidity in place to cover the $152.5 million of debt (excluding outstanding uncommitted facilities) due between the date of this report and 31 December 2025.

  • Primary covenant gearing of 29.1 per cent, compared to a covenant level not exceeding 50.0 per cent, and

  • Interest cover ratio for the 12 months to 31 December 2024 of 4.0 times, compared to a covenant level of not less than 2.0 times.

GPT MANAGEMENT HOLDINGS LIMITED AND ITS CONTROLLED ENTITIES

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Year ended 31 December 2024

(c) Basis of consolidation

Controlled entities

The consolidated financial statements of the Consolidated Entity report the assets, liabilities and results of all controlled entities for the financial year.

Controlled entities are all entities over which the Consolidated Entity has control. The Consolidated Entity controls an entity when the Consolidated Entity is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the activities of the entity.

Controlled entities are consolidated from the date on which control is obtained to the date on which control is disposed. The acquisition of controlled entities is accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. All intercompany balances and transactions, income, expenses, profits and losses resulting from intra-group transactions have been eliminated.

Associates

Associates are entities over which the Consolidated Entity has significant influence but not control, generally accompanying voting or decision making rights of between 20 per cent and 50 per cent. Management considered if the Consolidated Entity controls its associates and concluded that it does not based on its level of control over each associate.

Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method. Under this method, the Consolidated Entity’s investment in associates is carried in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position at cost plus post acquisition changes in the Consolidated Entity’s share of net assets. The Consolidated Entity’s share of the associates’ result is reflected in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income. Where the Consolidated Entity’s share of losses in associates equals or exceeds its interest in the associate, including any other unsecured long term receivables, the Consolidated Entity does not recognise any further losses, unless it has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate.

Joint arrangements

Investments in joint arrangements are classified as either joint operations or joint ventures depending on the contractual rights and obligations each investor has, rather than the legal structure of the joint arrangement. The Consolidated Entity has assessed the nature of its joint arrangements and determined it has joint ventures only.

Joint ventures

Investments in joint ventures are accounted for in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position using the equity method which is the same method adopted for associates.

(d) Other accounting policies

Material accounting policies that summarise the recognition and measurement basis used and are relevant to an understanding of the financial statements are provided throughout the notes to the financial statements.

Other accounting policies include:

(i) Revenue

Revenue from contracts with customers

Revenue is recognised over time if:

  • the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits as the entity performs;

  • the customer controls the asset as the entity creates or enhances it; or

  • the seller’s performance does not create an asset for which the seller has an alternative use and there is a right to payment for performance to date.

Where the above criteria is not met, revenue is recognised at a point in time.

76

GPT MANAGEMENT HOLDINGS LIMITED AND ITS CONTROLLED ENTITIES

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Year ended 31 December 2024

The following table summarises the revenue recognition policies.

Type of revenue Description Recognised
Fund management fees The Consolidated Entity provides investment management and fund management Over time
services in accordance with their Constitutions or Investment Management
Agreements. The services are utilised on an ongoing basis and revenue is calculated
and recognised in accordance with the relevant contractual arrangements. The
fees are invoiced on a quarterly basis and consideration is payable within 21 days of
the quarter end.
Fee income - property The Consolidated Entity provides property management services to the owners of Over time
management fees property assets in accordance with property services agreements. The services are
utilised on an ongoing basis and revenue is calculated and recognised in
accordance with the specific agreement. The fees are invoiced monthly with
variable payment terms depending on the individual agreements. Should an
adjustment, as calculated in accordance with the property services agreement be
required, this is recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive
Income within the same reporting period.
Fee income - property Under some property management agreements, the Consolidated Entity provides a Over time
management leasing fees - lease management service to the owners. These services are delivered on an
over time ongoing basis and revenue is recognised monthly, calculated in accordance with
the property management agreement. The fees are invoiced monthly with variable
payment terms depending on the individual agreements.
Fee income - property Under some property management agreements, the Consolidated Entity provides Point in time
management leasing fees -
point in time
leasing management services to the owners. The revenue is recognised when the
specific service is delivered (e.g. on lease execution) and consideration is due 30
days from invoice date.
Development management The Consolidated Entity provides development management services to the owners Over time/Point in time
fees of property assets in accordance with development management agreements.
Revenue is calculated and recognised in accordance with the specific agreement.
The fees are invoiced on a monthly basis, in arrears, and consideration is due 30
days from invoice date.
Sale of inventory Proceeds from the sale of inventory are recognised by the Consolidated Entity in Point in time
accordance with a specific contract entered into with another party for the delivery
of inventory. Revenue is calculated in accordance with the contract. Consideration
is payable in accordance with the contract. Revenue is recognised when control has
been transferred to the buyer.

The Consolidated Entity recognised $15,500,000 of contract assets in 2022 which is amortising over a contract period of two years beginning 16 December 2022. Amortisation of this asset offsets revenue from Funds management fees, or is recognised in expenses in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income depending on the nature of the contract payments made.

(ii) Other revenue

Rental revenue is recognised on a straightline basis over the lease term. When the Consolidated Entity provides lease incentives to tenants, any costs are recognised on a straightline basis over the lease term.

Revenue from dividends and distributions are recognised when they are declared.

Interest income is recognised on an accruals basis using the effective interest method.

(iii) Expenses

Property expenses and outgoings which include rates, taxes and other property outgoings, are recognised on an accruals basis.

(iv) Finance costs

Finance costs include interest, amortisation of discounts or premiums relating to borrowings and amortisation of ancillary costs incurred in connection with the arrangement of borrowings. Finance costs are expensed as incurred unless they relate to a qualifying asset.

A qualifying asset is an asset under development which generally takes a substantial period of time to bring to its intended use or sale. Finance costs incurred for the acquisition and construction of a qualifying asset are capitalised to the cost of the asset until completion of the asset. Where funds are borrowed specifically for a development project, finance costs associated with the development facility are capitalised. Where funds are used from Group borrowings, finance costs are capitalised using the relevant capitalisation rate taking into account the Group’s weighted average cost of debt.

(v) Foreign currency translation

Functional and presentation currency

Items included in the financial statements of each of the GPT entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which they operate (‘the functional currency’).

Transactions and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income.

Foreign operations

Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost are converted using the exchange rate as at the date of the initial transaction. Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was determined. Translation differences of non-monetary items, such as equities held at fair value through profit or loss, are reported as part of the fair value gain or loss.

Exchange differences arising on monetary items that form part of the net investment in a foreign operation are taken against a foreign currency translation reserve on consolidation.

Where forward foreign exchange contracts are entered into to cover any anticipated excesses of revenue less expenses within foreign joint ventures, they are converted at the ruling rates of exchange at the reporting period. The resulting foreign exchange gains and losses are taken to the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income.

(vi) Goods and Services Tax (GST)

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST (or equivalent tax in overseas locations) except where the GST incurred on purchase of goods and services is not recoverable from the tax authority, in which case the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense item as applicable. Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of the amount of GST. The net amount of GST receivable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included with other receivables or payables in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.

Cash flows are presented on a gross basis in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing or financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority are presented as operating cash flows. Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority.

(vii) Leases

Payments associated with short term leases and leases of low value assets are recognised on a straight-line basis as an expense in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income. Short-term leases are leases with a lease term of 12 months or less. Low-value assets comprise IT equipment and small items of office furniture.

Lease liabilities are initially measured at the present value of the lease payments discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease. If that rate cannot be determined, the Consolidated Entity’s incremental borrowing rate is used. The incremental borrowing rate is calculated by interpolating or extrapolating secondary market yields on the Group’s domestic medium term notes (MTNs) for a term equivalent to the lease. If there are no MTNs that mature within a reasonable proximity of the lease term, indicative pricing of where the Group can price a new debt capital market issue for a comparative term will be used in the calculation.

Lease liabilities are subsequently measured by:

  • increasing the carrying amount to reflect interest on the lease liabilities;

  • reducing the carrying amount to reflect the lease payments made; and

  • remeasuring the carrying amount to reflect any reassessment or lease modifications.

Interest on the lease liabilities and any variable lease payments not included in the measurement of the lease liabilities are recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income in the period in which they relate. Interest on lease liabilities included in finance costs in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income totalled $940,000 for the year (Dec 2023: $1,337,000).

Right-of-use assets are measured at cost less depreciation and impairment and adjusted for any remeasurement of the lease liability. The cost of the asset include:

  • the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability;

  • any lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received;

  • any initial direct costs; and

  • restoration costs.

78

GPT MANAGEMENT HOLDINGS LIMITED AND ITS CONTROLLED ENTITIES

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Year ended 31 December 2024

Additions to the right-of-use assets during the year were nil (Dec 2023: Nil).

Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis from the commencement date of the lease to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the right-of-use asset or the end of the lease term.

The Consolidated Entity determines the lease term as the non-cancellable period of a lease together with both:

  • the periods covered by an option to extend the lease if it is reasonably certain to exercise that option; and

  • periods covered by an option to terminate the lease if the lessee is reasonably certain not to exercise that option.

Management considers all the facts and circumstances that create an economic incentive to exercise an extension option or not exercise a termination option. This assessment is reviewed if a significant event or a significant change in circumstances occurs which affects this assessment and that is within the control of the lessee. Management has considered this assessment and no significant events or changes in circumstances are deemed necessary.

The Consolidated Entity tests right-of-use assets for impairment where there is an indicator that the asset may be impaired. An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount.

The Consolidated Entity has assessed the right-of-use assets for impairment indicators and has calculated the recoverable amount where indicators exist. This has resulted in net impairment expense reversal of $82,000 for the year (Dec 2023: $18,000).

The Consolidated Entity’s right-of-use assets are all property leases.

During the year, the Consolidated Entity entered into two property leases that commence in 2025. The total future lease payments payable under these leases is $56,320,000 over a period of 10 years from 2025.

(e) New and amended accounting standards and interpretations adopted from 1 January 2024

The Consolidated entity has applied the following standard and amendments for the first time for the annual reporting period commencing 1 January 2024:

  • AASB 2020-1 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards –Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current and AASB 2022-6 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Non-current Liabilities with Covenants amend AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements .

As a result of the adoption of the amendments to AASB 101, the Consolidated Entity changed its accounting policy for the classification of borrowings:

"Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless at the end of the reporting period, the Group has a right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period."

This new policy did not result in a change in the classification of the Consolidated Entity's borrowings. The Consolidated Entity did not make retrospective adjustments as a result of adopting the amendments to AASB 101.

Other than the above, there are no significant changes to the Consolidated Entity’s financial performance and position as a result of the adoption of the new and amended accounting standards and interpretations effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2024.

The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year and corresponding annual reporting period with the exception of new and amended standards and interpretations commencing 1 January 2024 that have been adopted where applicable.

(f) New accounting standards and interpretations issued but not yet adopted

Certain new accounting standards, amendments to accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for 31 December 2024 reporting periods and have not been early adopted by the Consolidated Entity. These standards, amendments or interpretations are not expected to have a material impact on the entity in the current or future reporting periods and on foreseeable future transactions.

26. Events Subsequent To Reporting Date

On 7 February 2025, settlement occurred on the disposal of 6 Herb Elliott Avenue, Sydney Olympic Park for $36.7 million. This asset was classified as properties held for sale within inventories in the Consolidated Entity financial statements as at 31 December 2024.

Other than the above, the Directors are not aware of any matter or circumstance occurring since 31 December 2024 that has significantly or may significantly affect the operations of the Consolidated Entity, the results of those operations or the state of affairs of the Consolidated Entity in the subsequent financial periods.

Key assumptions and judgements

Determination of Tax Residency

Section 295 (3A) of the Corporations Act 2001 requires that the tax residency of each entity which is included in the Consolidated Entity Disclosure Statement (CEDS) be disclosed. In the context of an entity which was an Australian resident, ‘Australian resident’ has the meaning provided in the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997. The determination of tax residency involves judgement as it is highly fact dependent and there are currently several different interpretations that could be adopted, and which could give rise to a different conclusion on residency.

In determining tax residency, the consolidated entity has applied current legislation and judicial precedent, including having regards to the Commissioner of Taxation’s public guidance in Tax Ruling TR 2018/5.

Trusts

Australian tax law does not contain specific residency test for trusts. Generally, these entities are taxed on a flow-through basis so there is no need for a general residence test. There are some provisions which treat trusts as residents for certain tax purposes but this does not mean the trust itself is an entity that is subject to tax.

Other information

The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report for the year ended 31 December 2024, but does not include the financial report and our auditor’s report thereon.

Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and accordingly we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon through our opinion on the financial report. We have issued a separate opinion on the remuneration report.

In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial report or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

If, based on the work we have performed on the other information that we obtained prior to the date of this auditor’s report, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Responsibilities of the directors for the financial report

The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 , including giving a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial report

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of the financial report.

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial report is located at the Auditing and Assurance Standards Board website at https://auasb.gov.au/media/apzlwn0y/ar3_2024.pdf. This

description forms part of our auditor's report.
