----- End of picture text -----

I am pleased to report today that the Group has delivered a strong result for the half, and we remain on track to deliver at the upper end of the guidance range we provided in February.

FFO per security was up 9.0% on the prior period to 17.04 cents. The interim distribution of 12.7 cents is 4.5% lower than the prior period, largely as a result of an increase in leasing incentives as foreshadowed in February.

NTA increased to $6.26 per security, which is up 2.8% on 31 December 2021. Revaluation gains for both the Logistics and Retail portfolios were the main drivers of the NTA increase, with the valuation of the Office portfolio relatively unchanged since December. Valuation metrics for each of the sectors have not changed materially during the period, with the NTA uplift driven by rental growth and development completions.

The Group delivered a 12-month total return of 10.8%, reflecting an FFO yield of 5.2% and a capital return of 5.6%.

Portfolio occupancy currently sits at a healthy level of 97.5%.

Our Retail assets continue to see strong levels of customer visitations, and this is being reflected in positive tenant demand. Occupancy of the Retail portfolio remains very strong at 99.3% and leasing spreads on expiry are continuing to improve.

Leasing success during the period resulted in the occupancy of the Logistics portfolio being maintained at close to 99% while the Office portfolio occupancy was slightly lower at 92%.

Turning now to slide 5.

It has been an active period for the Group as we continued to focus on our key priorities:

  • Growing the Logistics portfolio through developments to deliver enhanced returns;

  • Lease-up of Office space through focussing on changing customer needs;

  • Expanding the development pipeline particularly for our Funds Management platform; and

  • Delivering on our sustainability goals.

Our Logistics portfolio has grown to $4.6 billion in value, and now represents 28% of the Group’s diversified portfolio of high quality assets. We have a Logistics development pipeline with an estimated end value of $1.9 billion, that will continue to provide growth and highquality product for both GPT and the QuadReal partnership.

We recently secured a new office development site in North Sydney, and the development at 51 Flinders Lane in Melbourne is underway. Both of these developments will provide new product for the Office fund.

Our mixed-use opportunities are being progressed, and we expect to commence the Rouse Hill mixed-use expansion in the first half of 2023.

Our Funds platform is being expanded, with the management of the $2.8 billion UniSuper mandate being transferred to GPT from the 1st September. The addition of this portfolio enhances the scale of our Retail platform, following the divestment of Wollongong Central and Casuarina Square.

And finally, we continue to innovate and drive leading outcomes in ESG.

----- End of picture text -----

Leadership in ESG is a key strategic priority and a point of difference for GPT.

We have more carbon neutral certified floorspace than any other Australian property owner, and we are on track for all our managed assets to be certified as operating carbon neutral by 2024.

We have reduced emissions by 82% from our 2005 baseline by optimising how our assets operate, investing in technology and purchasing renewable energy.

We are also targeting to achieve upfront embodied carbon neutral for the Group’s development pipeline. This involves eliminating or reducing embodied carbon through the design phase, and the use of innovative construction practices and materials. Embodied carbon that hasn’t been eliminated will then be offset with high quality nature based offsets.

We have secured our carbon credits through a partnership with Greenfleet and the Traditional Owners. The partnership supports the restoration of 1,100 hectares of Australian biodiverse native koala habitat. The project will generate carbon offsets for our operations and the embodied carbon for our development projects.

Our recently completed Foundation Road project has been certified as Australia’s first upfront embodied carbon neutral logistics development, by the Green Building Council of Australia and Climate Active. And 51 Flinders Lane will be GPT’s first upfront embodied carbon neutral Office development.

The Group’s leadership in ESG is becoming increasingly important, as tenants select assets with strong environmental credentials.

6

In summary, we have delivered a solid set of results for the half and we continue to deliver on our strategic objectives. I will return at the end of the presentation to provide my remarks on the outlook and will now hand over to Anastasia Clarke to cover the financial results in more detail.

I am going to start on slide 8. It is pleasing to be reporting a strong financial result for the six months to 30 June 2022.

Our statutory profit of $529.7 million is driven by Funds From Operations of $326.5 million and valuation increases of $219.5 million for the half.

FFO per security has grown 9.0% on the prior corresponding first half.

The result is driven by a strong recovery in Retail, leasing in Office and acquisition and developments in Logistics.

Free cashflow is lower compared to the prior period, which is driven by a higher amount of lease incentives paid in Office.

The distribution per security of 12.7 cents, represents a 100% payout of operating free cash flow.

THE GPT GROUP | 2022 INTERIM RESULT 9
----- End of picture text -----

Looking to each portfolio’s performance on slide 9, in the segment result.

The result builds on Retail’s track record of a strong rebound once COVID-19 restrictions were lifted. We commenced the year with Omicron and the code of conduct extension to March, and despite this, customers have returned, resulting in strong sales growth, lower vacancy in our centres and lower COVID-19 tenant support being required.

The Retail portfolio result this half is partly offset by non-core asset sales, which were in the prior period income. Retail contributed $145 million to FFO.

Office net income grew by 10.7%, primarily through leasing of vacant space and through annual base fixed rent increases delivering like for like growth of 5%.

Logistics contributed $91.2 million of FFO, with growth driven from the upweighting to the sector through the acquisition of the Ascot portfolio and completion of fully leased new developments.

Funds Management profit grew 15% driven by revaluation gains and developments in GWOF and our growing QuadReal partnership.

Finance costs increased by $9.8 million to $54.1 million primarily as a result of increased borrowings for acquisitions and developments.

Corporate overheads and tax expense increased to $32 million. This is due to one-off reorganisation costs to streamline operations into three distinct divisions and also due to higher cloud based computing costs, made up of IT projects and IT licence fee increases.

9

Lease incentives have increased this period as we see the large office leasing volume achieved in the second half of 2021, flow through as incentives in the first half of 2022 as tenants commence occupation.

Overall we have delivered $270.6 million in AFFO for the half.

----- End of picture text -----

We have added slide 11 to report on how we are addressing the impact of rising interest rates.

Inflation has increased and become more significant than expected and as a result, we have seen a significant increase in global bond rates this year in anticipation of central banks having to respond to curb inflation.

This presented us with the challenge of having appropriate levels of fixed interest rate hedge protection versus the market curve cost premium which would lock in a sizeable cost increase to future earnings.

With bond yields recently falling from elevated levels in June, we increased our hedging levels substantially in late July to provide a greater level of interest rate protection over the next two and a half years.

The chart provides the contracted hedge levels in place over the remainder of 2022 and each half through to 2025. The table shows that the fixed hedge rate for 2022 full year is 1.7% and increases in 2023 to 2.6%.

Overall our interest rate exposure to FFO in 2023 is hedged at a base fixed rate of 2.6% for 80% of our current debt.

From here, the pattern of RBA rate increases, the final peak floating rate and any potential subsequent rate cuts remain to be seen. Our credit margin and fees above base fixed and

11

floating rates remain stable at 160 basis points.

Our forecast all-in cost of debt will be in the low 3% range in 2022 and is expected to be increasing to the low to mid 4% range in 2023 with a high level of hedge protection in place.

In summary we are well positioned for the forward period.

For an update on our Office operations, I will now pass to Martin Ritchie.

On slide 14, the chart on the left illustrates that tenant enquiry in the market is tracking above 2019 levels.

Based on the number of enquiries, tenants under 1,000sqm continue to be the most active.

While vacancy rates across the three Eastern Seaboard markets remain elevated at an average of 11.5%, we expect the increased market leasing enquiry to translate into net absorption of space.

Tenant enquiry and activity shows the flight to quality. Prime grade net absorption continues to be well above secondary stock. GPT is therefore well placed to capitalise on this due to its 100% Prime grade portfolio and the significant investment that has been made in the assets over recent years.

The right hand graph indicates that face and effective rents are growing, while incentives remain elevated.

Turning to slide 15. Work from home practices have changed how occupants use office space. Our expectation is that most companies will continue to value office space to attract talent, to collaborate and to build company culture.

Our leasing strategy embraces this change by offering three distinct products – Traditional Space, Premium Suites and Space on Demand. This appeals to a broader range of customers.

Traditional Space is the largest proportion of our portfolio, at over 80%, as you can see in the chart at the bottom. These customers are attracted to our locations, amenity and sustainability and they are now seeking greater flexibility.

GPT’s flexible space on demand product is called Space&Co. The slide gives you an indication of some of our larger Space&Co customers. Smaller companies and start-ups are also attracted by the exceptional amenity that we offer. We then develop relationships and incubate these customers whilst they grow into larger premises.

Our Premium Suite product is space that has been designed and fitted out by us for immediate occupation. The suites set a benchmark for high quality fit-outs to last several lease terms. We have delivered 43 suites over 18,000sqm across the portfolio in the first half. Of these, 24 have been leased and 14 were just completed in June. We expect them all to be leased by the end of the year. The suites have achieved leasing success. Rents are 15% higher, downtime is five and a half months shorter, the capital cost is in line with market incentives and the lease term achieved averages 4.4 years.

Moving to slide 16. Despite the Omicron outbreak and severe weather conditions, we signed 28,000sqm of leases and over 23,000sqm of heads of agreement in the first half of the year.

Melbourne has been a key leasing focus and we continue to reduce vacancy there.

For example at 181 William / 550 Bourke Streets the asset was 55% committed at June 2021, and is now 81% committed at June 2022.

The graph on the right shows that the portfolio has maintained an occupancy rate above the Prime market average.

Leasing volume expected to improve in 2H
----- End of picture text -----

On slide 17. Our high quality customer offering has positioned GPT well to increase portfolio occupancy.

The team are targeting a higher leasing volume in the second half, supported by three factors:

  • Firstly, the market is seasonal, with greater leasing volumes achieved in the second half.

  • Secondly, we will deliver another 33,000sqm of Premium Suites across the portfolio, including GWOF, which we expect to lease quickly upon completion.

  • And thirdly, we have streamlined our leasing to respond to our customers faster.

Slide 18 shows that we have grown our development pipeline to $5.5 billion providing an opportunity for GPT and its funds to develop next generation assets and enhance returns.

GWOF secured properties at Walker Street in North Sydney, where we are now working to obtain a DA for a tower of over 45,000sqm, with an earliest construction start in 2024, following the opening of the nearby Victoria Cross metro station.

51 Flinders Lane is underway with an expected delivery date in late 2025.

Project commencements will be led by tenant pre-commitments and market conditions. The timing to commence is entirely within our control.

GPT is again leading the market in committing to all new Office developments being upfront embodied carbon neutral.

I am very proud to announce that 51 Flinders Lane will be GPT’s first Office development to be upfront embodied carbon neutral and certified on completion through Green Star and Climate Active.

The Green Building Council of Australia has already verified the carbon neutral design commitment through the Green Star process.

Turning to slide 20 for the Office outlook.

The demand for highly sustainable workplaces has increased, and GPT’s certified 5.8 star NABERS energy rating provides a competitive advantage.

We are on track for the entire Office portfolio to follow GWOF’s 2020 achievement and to be carbon neutral by 2024.

GWOF has grown to $10.1 billion in assets under management and has low gearing of 18.8%.

We have a $5.5 billion development pipeline providing an opportunity for GPT and its funds to develop next generation assets and to enhance returns.

The office continues to play a crucial role to attract talent, collaborate and build company culture.

GPT’s portfolio is well located, presented and serviced with significant investment made to create distinctive and desirable places.

Our three space products respond to our customers’ needs and provide them with the flexibility that they desire.

Our offering, customer centric approach and well-resourced team will support a successful second half of leasing.

I will now hand over to Chris Davis to discuss the Logistics portfolio.

The Logistics portfolio has delivered strong results in the half, with FFO of $92 million, up 22% with growing contributions from development completions and acquisitions.

Comparable growth of 2.4% was achieved, with positive income growth partially offset by vacancy which has now been substantially leased.

Our portfolio has high occupancy, and 228,000sqm of leasing deals were completed. We are capitalising on market conditions, with speculative development leasing in the half achieving rents 9% above our feasibilities.

The economic uncertainty has come at a time when the fundamentals of the Australian logistics sector are strong, with record low vacancy and the momentum in tenant demand driving rents higher.

GPT’s portfolio is well positioned to grow and capture market upside through upcoming expiry and our $1.9 billion development pipeline.

----- End of picture text -----

Moving to slide 24, demand for space has been dominated by transport and retail groups, and market rents have recorded double digit growth over the past 12 months.

Delays to the release of land and build-out of product has restricted supply, which combined with historically low vacancy, has constrained leasing activity.

In Sydney, vacancy of just 0.3% is forcing many tenants to delay new space requirements, and focus on pre lease options for late 2023 or 2024, providing favourable conditions for our Kemps Creek project.

We have high levels of enquiry across our development pipeline, with our team engaged on 1.1 million sqm of tenant briefs, increasing from six months ago by a third.

Over 80% of the enquiry is for groups growing their real estate footprint, upgrading to larger and more efficient facilities.

An example of this trend is JB Hi-Fi, who are expanding by 50% within our Berrinba estate in Brisbane.

Vacancy rates will remain low into 2023, underpinned by high pre-commitment levels of over 60% for stock under construction.

Within our operational portfolio we’ve made great progress in leasing vacancy and upcoming expiry.

Bunnings has leased 40,000sqm in Melbourne, while Go Logistics has committed to 30,000sqm in Sydney. Both are examples of expanding occupiers that add to the diversity of our customer mix.

We are excited to have delivered Australia’s first upfront embodied carbon neutral logistics development certified by the Green Building Council of Australia and Climate Active as part of the building’s Green Star Design & As Built rating.

Through better design and materials selection, such as low carbon concrete, we reduced the development’s carbon footprint, and we have then applied high-quality, nature based offsets for the residual.

At each of our developments we are installing solar and batteries, and for our existing assets we are providing customers with the opportunity to access cost effective on-site renewable energy.

Over 40% of our portfolio has been developed by GPT, demonstrating its high quality and our ability to expand through development.

Our portfolio is concentrated to the eastern seaboard markets, which we expect to outperform nationally.

The low vacancy and momentum of tenant demand will support strong rental growth.

Now turning to slide 35, where I wanted to provide an update on Melbourne Central’s recovery where sales for the first half were up 37% and we have seen a continued improvement in centre visitation.

Comparing the month of June to pre-COVID 2019 our Total Specialty sales per square metre were up 2%.

The centre is benefiting from the return of University students with Fashion, Dining and Tech retailers all exceeding their June 2019 results.

Our leasing team have continued to delivered first to market retailers who are choosing Melbourne Central to open their flagship stores. The successful recent opening of the Lego store which is number one in Australasia, will be joined by Under Armour, Calvin Klein and the launch of the much anticipated Monopoly Dreams later this year.

Our outlook for the centre remains positive supported by the retail market’s fundamental belief in the quality of the asset.

Now turning to a development update on slide 36, where the performances of both Rouse Hill and Highpoint continue to support the commencement of their mixed-use developments.

Rouse is on track to commence early next year with the project having extensive retailer support given that the existing centre has been being fully leased for the past couple of years and Total Centre sales exceeding the first half of 2019 by an impressive 29%.

Off the back of securing the mixed-use masterplan at Highpoint late last year, we will be lodging the Stage 1 Residential DA with 240 apartments and the stage 1 Commercial DA for an 18,000sqm office complex by the end of the year.

Finally turning to slide 37, GPT will continue to be a leader in ESG, and next week we will be launching our smart energy hub at Chirnside Park. The hub is a first of its’ kind in Australia and will allow us to harvest energy from a solar array and store it safely on site in a 2 megawatt hour battery. The combination of solar generation and storage, coupled with our flexible load management will generate considerable energy cost reductions and assist in stabilising the grid.

In relation to the GPT Wholesale Shopping Centre Fund, which has successfully executed on its strategy to optimise its portfolio of assets with the divestment of Wollongong Central and Casuarina Square. This has resulted in the Fund having low levels of gearing and it is well placed to take advantage of any upcoming opportunities.

Sales growth for the first six months of the year was strong however we do see this moderating as the impact of interest rates will curb discretionary spending.

Our view on the leasing market remains positive and off the back of the solid sales environment we believe our leasing spreads will continue to improve in the second half.

I will now hand you back to Bob to provide some comments on the outlook for the second half of 2022.

We have seen a rapid change in economic conditions over the last six months, with inflation expected to be in excess of 7% this year, and the RBA responding more aggressively than we had anticipated.

This will no doubt slow economic growth and consumption in time, however unemployment is forecast to remain well below long term averages, and inflation should retrace materially over the course of 2023.

In line with rising interest rates, GPT’s cost of debt will increase in the second half of 2022 and further in 2023.

Higher bond yields may also lead to a softening of valuation metrics however, this will be somewhat dependent on where bond yields settle. While global and domestic investors continue to advise that there is demand for high quality real estate, capital is sitting on the sidelines until there is greater clarity on the economic outlook.

As you heard from Chris Barnett, we are continuing to see good momentum across our Retail portfolio, with strong sales growth and leasing activity. Our portfolio has high occupancy and while we expect sales growth to moderate, our portfolio is well placed with fixed rental increases and positive leasing demand.

For the office sector, we expect leasing volumes will improve in the second half of the year. Vacancy rates across the office sector remain elevated, but we are seeing demand from tenants who want to be in high quality buildings with distinctive spaces. We are providing flexible space and leading-edge fit-outs in response to changing customer preferences, and this is achieving results. There is clearly a flight to quality, as businesses use both flexibility and their workplace to attract talent.

In Logistics, market conditions remain very favourable with elevated tenant demand, low vacancy and constrained supply. We have expanded our development pipeline, and while development costs have increased with escalation in construction costs, this is being offset by strong rental growth. Our development pipeline and partnership with QuadReal positions us well for further platform growth.

We have expanded the Group’s development pipeline, which will provide further growth opportunities for both the Group and our managed funds. The Office development pipeline provides an opportunity to create next generation assets at the appropriate time.

And finally, the UniSuper mandate will provide increased scale to our retail and Funds Management platform and we expect that this will provide further growth opportunities in time.

Turning now to FFO and distribution guidance.

We have delivered strong first half results and while interest costs will rise in the second half, we expect to deliver FFO of approximately 32.4 cents per security for the full year, which is at the upper end of our guidance provided in February, and a distribution of 25 cents per security.

So that concludes our formal remarks, and I will now hand back to the operator for your questions.
