Strategy

Global Operating Environment

  • Credit crunch created extremely challenging economic conditions globally

  • Cost of capital increased dramatically (debt and equity)

  • Increased volatility in global financial markets

  • Reduced liquidity in global real estate markets

  • Australia performing better than most, but not immune

  • GPT believes that current operating conditions will continue for some time, and are likely to result in fundamental structural changes for the A-REIT sector

Key sector themes and GPT response

Issue Themes / General Observations GPT Response
Strategy / business
model

Simplicity preferred over complexity

Strong preference for domestic focus over
offshore expansion (particularly from global
investor base, who prefer to directly allocate
capital geographically)

Focus on core domestic operations
(ownership, management, development
model)

Exit non-core investments and platforms
(e.g. Hotel & Tourism, US Seniors)
Leverage
Capital is scarce and expensive

Balance sheet strength is primary concern
for investors

Non-core asset sales

Target look through gearing of <40%
Capital management
Strong preference from institutional investors
for reduced payouts to support sustainable
business model

Revised distribution policy already
announced (portion of earnings to be
retained)

Capital allocation reflective of focus on core
domestic operations
Quality/transparency of
earnings

Simplicity preferred over complexity

Volatile/financially engineered earnings
streams not valued

Focus on high quality domestic ownership
portfolio, enhanced by development and
funds management earnings streams not
available to GPT pre-internalisation

Exit margin-oriented operational businesses
(Hotel & Tourism, US Seniors) and Joint
Venture
Changing investor base
Loss of confidence of traditional investors

Increasing influence of global REIT investors

Simplified model (domestic focus)

Conservative approach to risk / leverage

Resulting Business Model

Operationally focused • Simple, easy-to-understand business model
• Focused on core business (ownership, management, development of high
quality Australian real estate)
Diversified by asset class,
earnings stream and capital
source
• By asset class (retail, office, industrial)
• By earnings stream (ownership, management, development)

Development and funds management provide GPT with revenue streams
not available to GPT pre-internalisation
• By capital source (listed equity, wholesale equity, debt)

Wholesale funds management platform provides access to capital source
with much lower cost/volatility
• Diversification provides resilience through economic cycles
Conservative financial model • Conservative approach to risk/leverage
• Capital allocation reflective of core skill set
• Capital management policies consistent with long-term sustainability
Differentiated by quality of
underlying assets and income
streams
• High quality real estate (irreplaceable Australian portfolio)
• High quality earnings streams consistent with underlying cashflow

Strategic Focus

==> picture [56 x 32] intentionally omitted <==

15

Strategic Focus

� Ownership

High quality Australian retail, office and industrial real estate providing high quality rental income streams

� Management

High quality open-ended wholesale funds and institutional capital partners, providing GPT with a significant competitive advantage given lower cost/volatility of this source of capital

� Development

Development expertise providing high quality product for GPT’s own balance sheet, capital partners and third parties

“GPT is committed to a business model focused on adding value through the ownership, management and development of a portfolio of high quality Australian real estate”
