ROI is reported in the Segment Note disclosures which are included in the financial report of The GPT Group for the six months ended 30 June 2013.

To provide information that reflects the Directors’ assessment of the net profit attributable to stapled securityholders calculated in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, certain significant items that are relevant to an understanding of GPT’s result have been identified. The reconciliation ROI to Statutory Profit is useful as ROI is the measure of how GPT’s profitability is assessed.

ROI is a financial measure that is based on the profit under Australian Accounting Standards adjusted for certain unrealised items, non-cash items, gains or losses on investments or other items the Directors determine to be non-recurring or capital in nature. ROI is not prescribed by any Australian Accounting Standards. The adjustments that reconcile the ROI to the Statutory Profit for the year may change from time to time, depending on changes in accounting standards and/or the Directors’ assessment of items that are non-recurring or capital in nature.
