Group Performance
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.
Distribution
The Group targets to distribute 95 to 105 per cent of free cash flow, defined as operating cash flow less maintenance and leasing capex and inventory movements. The Group may make other adjustments in its determination of free cash flow for one‑off or abnormal items.
Distributions to stapled securityholders for the half year ended 30 June 2024 are $229.9 million (30 June 2023: $239.4 million), representing an interim distribution of 12.0 cents per ordinary stapled security, a decrease of 4.0 per cent on 2023 (30 June 2023: 12.5 cents). The payout ratio for the half year ended 30 June 2024 is 96.9 per cent of free cash flow.
Funds From Operations
FFO represents GPT’s underlying earnings from its operations. This is determined by adjusting statutory net profit after tax (under Australian Accounting Standards) for certain items which are non‑cash, unrealised or capital in nature. This is in accordance with FFO and Adjusted Funds From Operations (AFFO) in the Property Council of Australia ‘Voluntary Best Practice Guidelines for Disclosing FFO and AFFO’.
GPT delivered FFO of $309.1 million for the half year ended 30 June 2024, down 2.4 per cent on the prior period (30 June 2023: $316.7 million). FFO per security decreased 2.4 per cent to 16.14 cents (30 June 2023: 16.53 cents).
Statutory Result
GPT’s statutory net loss after tax was $249.4 million, as compared to a $1.1 million loss after tax in the prior corresponding period, predominantly due to negative investment property valuation movements of $566.8 million (30 June 2023: $341.3 million negative revaluation).

Balance sheet
The Group valued its investment properties as at 30 June 2024 in accordance with the GPT Valuation Policy. The independent valuations and internal tolerance checks contain a number of assumptions, estimates and judgements on the future performance of each property, including market rents and growth rates, occupancy, capital expenditure and investment metrics.
The Group’s gearing at 30 June 2024 of 29.6 per cent remains below the mid‑point of our stated range of 25‑35 per cent.
Going concern
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 $1,409.6 million (after allowing for repayment of $444.2 million of outstanding uncommitted facilities) as at 30 June 2024
-
Weighted average debt facility expiry of 5.6 years, with sufficient liquidity in place to cover the $426.6 million of debt (excluding outstanding uncommitted facilities) due between the date of this report and 30 June 2025
-
Primary covenant gearing of 29.8 per cent, compared to a covenant level not exceeding 50.0 per cent, and
-
Interest cover ratio for the six months to 30 June 2024 of 4.1 times, compared to a covenant level of not less than 2.0 times.

Cash flow
The decrease in free cash flow compared to the prior corresponding period is due to the decrease in FFO along with an increase in cash maintenance capex and leasing incentives.
The Non‑IFRS information included below has not been audited in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards, but has been derived from note 1 and note 9 of the accompanying financial statements.
The following table shows the reconciliation from FFO to the cash flow from operating activities and free cash flow:

Segment Performance
Retail
Operations net income for the period ending 30 June 2024 increased 3.5 per cent to $164.2 million (30 June 2023: $158.6 million). Comparable income growth for the period was 5.8 per cent. Retail occupancy as at June 2024 was 99.6 per cent, reflecting the continued strength of the retail sector and desire from retailers to take floor space in GPT’s high quality portfolio.
The Retail portfolio recorded a net valuation increase of 0.8 per cent or $41.7 million in the first half of 2024 (30 June 2023: $103.7 million net valuation decline), including GPT’s equity interest in the GPT Wholesale Shopping Centre Fund (GWSCF). The weighted average capitalisation rate increased to 5.44 per cent (31 December 2023: 5.43 per cent).
Retail Funds Management income increased 21.3 per cent to $15.4 million.
Office
Operations net income for the period ending 30 June 2024 decreased 2.7 per cent to $138.7 million (30 June 2023: $142.5 million), primarily driven by lower rental income. Comparable income growth for the period was negative 1.3 per cent. Office occupancy (including HoA) as at June 2024 was 92.4 per cent.
The Office portfolio recorded a net valuation decline of 10.4 per cent or $579.1 million in the first half of 2024 (30 June 2023: $241.8 million net valuation decline), including GPT’s equity interest in the GPT Wholesale Office Fund (GWOF). Negative revaluations were recorded across the portfolio. The weighted average capitalisation rate increased to 6.06 per cent (31 December 2023: 5.49 per cent).
Logistics
Operations net income for the period ending 30 June 2024 increased 6.6 per cent to $102.4 million (30 June 2023: $96.1 million) as a result of underlying income growth and prior year development completions. Comparable income growth for the period was 5.9 per cent driven by positive leasing outcomes achieved and structured rent increases. Logistics occupancy (including HoA) as at June 2024 was 99.4 per cent.
The Logistics portfolio recorded a net valuation decline of 0.7 per cent or $29.4 million in the first half of 2024 (30 June 2023: $3.2 million net valuation increase), including GPT’s equity interest in the GPT QuadReal Logistics Trust (GQLT). The weighted average capitalisation rate increased to 5.55 per cent (31 December 2023: 5.26 per cent).
Funds Management income increased to $2.5 million.
Prospects
Market conditions are improving in terms of transaction activity and capital mobility.
GPT is well positioned with a premium, multi‑sector portfolio, complemented by a conservative capital profile and deep operational experience.
The immediate focus of the Group is the active pursuit of strategies to optimise existing assets, funds and partnerships, and establish new partnerships to achieve the diversification and growth targeted for the Funds Management platform.
Outlook
GPT continues to expect to deliver 2024 FFO of approximately 32.0 cents per security and a distribution of 24.0 cents per security.
In tandem, the operational capability in the business will be repositioned to facilitate the strategic growth emphasis on investment management and capital partnering.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
Half year ended 30 June 2024
These are the consolidated interim financial statements of the consolidated entity, The GPT Group (GPT or the Group), which consists of General Property Trust (the Trust), GPT Management Holdings Limited (the Company) and their controlled entities.
The notes to these financial statements have been organised into sections to help users find and understand the information they need to know. Additional information has also been provided where it is helpful to understand GPT’s performance.
The notes to the financial statements are organised into the following sections:
Note 1 – RESULT FOR THE HALF YEAR : focuses on the results and performance of GPT.
Notes 2 to 3 – OPERATING ASSETS AND LIABILITIES : provides information on the assets and liabilities used to generate GPT’s trading performance.
Notes 4 to 8 – CAPITAL STRUCTURE: outlines how GPT manages its capital structure.
Notes 9 to 13 – OTHER DISCLOSURE ITEMS: provides information on other items that must be disclosed to comply with Australian Accounting Standards and other regulatory pronouncements.
Key judgements, estimates and assumptions
In applying GPT’s accounting policies, management has made a number of judgements, estimates and assumptions regarding future events.
The impact of inflation and interest rate rises has caused heightened levels of economic uncertainty. As such there is a higher level of estimation uncertainty than usual in management's judgements and estimates for the period.
Management has reviewed the investment property valuations for both accuracy and the reasonableness of assumptions used to determine fair value. See note 2(c) for information on GPT’s valuation process, and note 2(d) for a sensitivity analysis showing indicative movements in investment property valuations should certain key metrics differ from those assumed in the valuations.
The following judgements, estimates and assumptions have the potential to have a material impact on the financial statements:
| Financial statement item | Area ofjudgements and estimates | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Investment properties | Fair value | 2 |
| Equity accounted investments | Assessment of control versus signifcant infuence | 3 |
| Trade receivables | Measurement of expected credit loss | 12 |
| Inventories | Lower of cost and net realisable value | 12 |
| Security based payments | Fair value | 12 |
| Right-of-use assets | Recoverable amount | 12 |
RESULT FOR THE HALF YEAR
1. Segment Information
GPT’s operating segments are described in the following table. The chief operating decision makers monitor the performance of the business on the basis of Funds from Operations (FFO) for each segment. FFO represents GPT’s underlying and recurring earnings from its operations, and is determined by adjusting the statutory net profit after tax for certain items which are non-cash, unrealised or capital in nature. FFO has been determined in accordance with guidelines issued by the Property Council of Australia.
| Segment | Types ofproducts and services whichgenerate the segment result |
|---|---|
| Retail | Ownership, development (including mixed-use) and property management of predominantly regional, sub-regional |
| and CBD shopping centres and also includes the funds management of the GPT Wholesale Shopping Centre Fund (GWSCF)and mandates,as well as the results of GPT’s equityinvestment in GWSCF. |
|
| Offce Logistics |
Ownership, development and property management of prime offce properties and also includes the funds management of the GPT Wholesale Offce Fund(GWOF),as well as the results of GPT’s equityinvestment in GWOF. Ownership, development and property management of logistics assets and also includes the funds management of the GPT QuadReal Logistics Trust (GQLT) and the QuadReal Student Accommodation mandate, as well as the results |
| of GPT's equityinvestment in GQLT. | |
| Corporate | Cash, other assets, borrowings and associated hedges as well as net fnance costs, corporate management and administration expenses and income tax expense. |

OPERATING ASSETS AND LIABILITIES
2. Investment Properties
Basis of valuation
In line with the Valuation Policy, GPT independently values each completed investment property (including investment property assets disclosed within equity accounted investments) at least annually with an internal tolerance check prepared every six months when an asset is not independently valued (refer to Note 2(c) for further details on GPT’s internal tolerance check process). Independent valuers consider transaction evidence and prevailing market conditions, which guides them in their key valuation assumptions, including capitalisation and discount rates, market rental levels, tenant incentives, lease up periods, income growth rates and capital expenditure.
GPT provides factual information to the independent valuers, including passing rent information, outstanding incentives and capital expenditure forecasts which the independent valuers then use to form their own assessment.
Management has reviewed the investment property valuations for both factual accuracy and reasonableness of the assumptions used to determine fair value. The fair values are shown in the following tables.

- A capitalisation interest rate of 4.9% (31 December 2023: 4.7%) has been applied when capitalising interest on qualifying assets.
Land and buildings which are held to earn rental income or for capital appreciation or for both, and which are not wholly occupied by GPT, are classified as investment properties.
Investment properties are initially recognised at cost and subsequently stated at fair value at each balance date. Fair value is based on the latest independent valuation adjusting for capital expenditure and capitalisation and amortisation of lease incentives since the date of the independent valuation report. Any change in fair value is recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income in the period.
Properties under development are stated at fair value at each balance date. Fair value is assessed with reference to reliable estimates of future cash flows, status of the development and the associated risk profile. Finance costs incurred on properties undergoing development are included in the cost of the development.
Lease incentives provided by GPT to lessees are included in the measurement of fair value of investment property and are amortised over the lease term using a straight line basis.

|---|---|
| DCF | Under the DCF method, the fair value is estimated using explicit assumptions regarding the benefts and liabilities of ownership over the asset's or liability's life including an exit or terminal value. The DCF method involves the projection of a series of cash fows from the asset or liability. To this projected cash fow series, an appropriate, market-derived discount rate is applied to establish the present value of the cash fows from the asset or liability. |
| Income capitalisation | This method involves assessing the total net market income receivable from the property and capitalising |
| method | this inperpetuityto derive a capital value,with allowances for capital expenditure and reversions. |
| Gross market rent | A gross market rent is the estimated amount of rent for which a property or space within a property should |
| lease between a willing lessor and a willing lessee on appropriate lease terms in an arm’s length transaction, | |
| after proper marketing and wherein the parties have each acted knowledgeably, prudently and without | |

| Adopted terminal yield | The capitalisation rate used to convert income into an indication of the anticipated value of the property at the end of the holding period when carrying out a discounted cash fow calculation. The rate is determined with regard to market evidence. |
| Adopted discount rate | The rate of return used to convert a monetary sum, payable or receivable in the future, into present value. Theoretically it should refect the opportunity cost of capital, that is, the rate of return the capital can earn if put to other uses havingsimilar risk. The rate is determined with regard to market evidence. |

c) Valuation process – investment properties
GPT manages the semi-annual valuation process to ensure that investment properties are held at fair value in GPT’s financial statements and that GPT is compliant with applicable regulations (for example the Corporations Act 2001 and ASIC regulations), the GPT RE Constitution and Compliance Plan.
GPT has a Valuation Committee (Committee) which is comprised of the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Head of Transactions and Direct Capital, Deputy Chief Financial Officer and General Counsel. The purpose of the Committee is to:
-
Approve the panel of independent valuers
-
Review valuation inputs and assumptions
-
Where the valuations are conducted internally, provide an escalation process where there are differences of opinion from various team members responsible for the valuation
-
Oversee the finalisation of the valuations, and
-
Review the independent valuation sign-off and any comments that have been noted.
All independent valuations and internal tolerance checks are reviewed by the Committee prior to these being presented to the Board for approval.

c) Valuation process – investment properties continued
Independent valuations
GPT’s independent valuations are performed by independent professionally qualified valuers who hold recognised relevant professional qualifications and have specialised expertise in the investment properties being valued. Selected independent valuation firms form part of a panel approved by the Committee. Each valuation firm is limited to undertaking consecutive valuations of a property for a maximum period of two years. Where an exceptional circumstance arises, the extension of the valuer’s term must be approved by the relevant Board.
The Valuation Policy requires an independent valuation at least annually for all completed investment properties. Properties under development with a value of $100 million or greater are independently valued at least every six months. Unimproved land is independently valued at least every three years. Additional valuations will be completed in the event an internal tolerance check identifies the requirement for an independent valuation.
Critical judgements are made by GPT in respect of the fair values of investment properties (including investment properties within equity accounted investments). Fair values are reviewed regularly by management with reference to independent property valuations, recent transactions and market conditions, and using generally accepted market practices. The valuation process, critical assumptions underlying the valuations and information on sensitivity are disclosed below and in note 2(b).
An independent valuer will typically conduct both an income capitalisation valuation and a DCF valuation for each asset, which informs a range of valuation outcomes. The valuer will then apply their expertise in determining an adopted value, which may include adopting one of these specific approaches or a mid-point of these two approaches.
The valuation of the properties under development is determined by a development feasibility analysis for each parcel of land within each asset. The development feasibility analysis is prepared on an “as if complete” basis and is a combination of the income capitalisation method and where appropriate, the DCF method. The cost to complete of the development includes development costs, finance costs and an appropriate profit and risk margin. These costs are deducted from the “as if complete” valuation to determine the “as is” basis or “current fair value.”
The fair value of vacant land parcels is based on the market land value per square metre.
Internal tolerance checks
Every six months, with the exception of properties independently valued, an internal tolerance check is prepared. The internal tolerance check involves the preparation of a DCF and income capitalisation valuation for each investment property. These are produced using a capitalisation rate, terminal yield and discount rate based on comparable market evidence and recent independent valuation parameters. The tolerance measurement will typically be a mid-point of these two approaches.
These internal tolerance checks are used to determine whether the book value is in line with the fair value or whether an independent valuation is required.
highest and best use
The fair value of investment properties is calculated based on the highest and best use whether or not the current use reflects the highest and best use.

d) Sensitivity information – investment properties
In conducting the sensitivity analysis below, management has selected a sample of assets for each portfolio, for which key metrics are typical of the portfolio to which they relate. For those assets, the independent valuer conducted the sensitivity analysis in the following tables. Results for individual assets may differ based on each asset’s particular attributes and market conditions.
The following table shows the sensitivity of the valuation to movements in the significant variables of capitalisation rates and market rent per sqm when using the income capitalisation valuation approach and the discount rate and terminal rate and market rental growth rates when using the DCF valuation approach.

Gearing: adjusted borrowings must not exceed 50% of adjusted total tangible assets and
-
Interest coverage: the ratio of operating earnings before interest and taxes to finance costs on borrowings is not to be less than 2 times.
-
A breach of these covenants may trigger consequences ranging from rectifying and/or repricing to repayment of outstanding amounts. GPT performed a review of debt covenants as at 30 June 2024 and no breaches were identified noting:

10. Lease Revenue continued
Rent from investment properties
Rent from investment properties in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income is recognised and measured in accordance with AASB 16 Leases (AASB 16). Revenue for leases with fixed increases is recognised on a straight line basis for the minimum contracted rent over the lease term with an asset recognised as a component of investment properties relating to the fixed increases in operating lease rentals in future periods. When GPT provides lease incentives to tenants, these costs are amortised against lease income on a straight line basis. Contingent rental income is recognised as revenue in the period in which it is earned.
In addition to revenue generated directly from the lease, rent from investment properties includes non-lease revenue earned from tenants, predominately in relation to recovery of asset operating costs, which is recognised and measured under AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers .
11. Commitments

12. Accounting Policies, Key Judgements and Estimates
a) Basis of preparation
The financial report has been prepared:
-
in accordance with the requirements of the Trust’s Constitution, Corporations Act 2001 and Australian Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting ;
-
in accordance with the recognition and measurement requirements of the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) adopted by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB);
-
on a going concern basis. GPT has prepared an assessment of its ability to continue as a going concern, taking into account all available information for a period of 12 months from the signing date of these financial statements and future cash flow assessments have been made, taking into consideration appropriate probability-weighted factors. GPT is confident in the belief it will realise its assets and settle its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business for at least the amounts stated in the financial statements. The net deficiency of current assets over current liabilities of $775.0 million is impacted by the inclusion of the distribution payable of $229.9 million and borrowings due within 12 months (inclusive of $444.2 million of outstanding uncommitted facilities). As set out in note 7, GPT has access to $1,849.6 million in undrawn financing facilities (prior to repayment of the uncommitted facilities). Refer to note 12(b) for further information on going concern;
-
under the historical cost convention, as modified by the revaluation for financial assets and liabilities and investment properties at fair value through the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income;
-
using consistent accounting policies with adjustments to align any dissimilar accounting policies adopted by the controlled entities, associates or joint ventures; and
-
in Australian dollars with all values rounded to the nearest hundred thousand dollars in accordance with ASIC Corporations (Rounding in Financial/Directors’ Reports) Instrument 2016/191, unless otherwise stated.
This interim financial report does not include all the notes of the type normally included within the annual financial report. Therefore, it is recommended this report be read in conjunction with the 2023 Annual Financial Report and any public announcements made by GPT during the interim period in accordance with the continuous disclosure requirements of the ASX Listing Rules.
Comparatives in the financial statements have been restated to the current period presentation.
In accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, the stapled entity reflects the consolidated entity. Equity attributable to the Company is shown as a form of non-controlling interest.
As a result of the stapling, investors in GPT may receive payments from each component of the stapled security comprising distributions from the Trust and dividends from the Company.
The interim financial report was approved by the Board of Directors on 19 August 2024.
material accounting policies
The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year and corresponding interim reporting period with the exception of new and amended standards and interpretations commencing 1 January 2024 that have been adopted where applicable.
b) Going concern
GPT is of the opinion that it is able to meet its liabilities and commitments as and when they fall due for at least a period of 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 $1,409.6 million (after allowing for repayment of $444.2 million of outstanding uncommitted facilities) as at 30 June 2024;
-
Weighted average debt expiry of 5.6 years, with sufficient liquidity in place to cover the $426.6 million of debt (excluding outstanding uncommitted facilities) due between the date of this report and 30 June 2025;
-
Primary covenant gearing of 29.8% compared to a covenant level not exceeding 50.0%; and
-
Interest cover ratio for the six months to 30 June 2024 of 4.1 times, compared to a covenant level of not less than 2.0 times.

12. Accounting Policies, Key Judgements and Estimates continued
c) Trade receivables
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. GPT 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 receivables
Management has assessed whether trade receivable balances are "credit impaired", and where required have 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 result from all possible default events over the expected life of the trade receivable 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 contracted cash flows due to GPT and the cash flows expected to be received). A default on trade receivables is when the counterparty fails to make contractual payments when they fall due and management determines that the debt is uncollectible, or where management forgives all or part of the debt.
Debts that are known to be uncollectible are written off when identified.
At 30 June 2024, GPT has assessed the likelihood of future defaults and debt forgiveness taking into account several factors. These include the risk profile of the tenant, the asset location and other economic conditions impacting the tenant's ability to pay.
This has resulted in an ECL allowance of $8.2 million being recognised as at 30 June 2024 (31 December 2023: $14.4 million). The remaining net balance of trade receivables (excluding accrued income and related party receivables) is $11.4 million (31 December 2023: $7.2 million).
d) 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.
When the above criteria is not met, revenue is recognised at a point in time.
other revenue
Revenue from dividends and distributions is recognised when they are declared.
Interest income is recognised on an accrual basis using the effective interest method.

12. Accounting Policies, Key Judgements and Estimates continued
e) Leases
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, GPT’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 liability;
-
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 liability and any variable lease payments not included in the measurement of the lease liability 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 $0.4 million for the half year (30 June 2023: $0.5 million).
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 includes:
-
the amount of the initial measurement of lease liability;
-
any lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received;
-
any initial direct costs; and
-
restoration cost.
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, unless they meet the definition of an investment property. Right-of-use assets which meet the definition of an investment property form part of the investment property balance and are measured at fair value in accordance with AASB 140 Investment Property (refer note 2 and the following section on ground leases).
GPT’s right-of-use assets are all property leases.
GPT 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.
GPT 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.
GPT has assessed the right-of-use assets for impairment indicators and has calculated the recoverable amount where indicators exist. There was no impairment recognised on the right-of-use assets for the half year (30 June 2023: $0.6 million).
Ground leases
A lease liability reflecting the leasehold arrangements of investment properties is separately disclosed in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position and the carrying value of the investment properties is adjusted (i.e. grossed up) so that the net of these two amounts equals the fair value of the investment properties. The lease liabilities are calculated as the net present value of the future lease payments discounted at the incremental borrowing rate.

f) IT development and software
Costs incurred in developing systems and acquiring software that will contribute future financial benefits and which the Group 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, generally ranging from 5 to 10 years.
IT development and software are assessed for impairment at each reporting date by evaluating if any impairment triggers exist. When impairment indicators exist, management calculate the recoverable amount. The asset is impaired if the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount. Critical judgements are made by GPT 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.
g) Carbon credits – intangibles
The Group has purchased carbon credits (or offsets). These carbon credits are used by the Group to offset its operational emissions or to offset embodied carbon within a development project. The carbon credits are measured at cost and management considers that the carbon credits have an indefinite useful life. Therefore, GPT tests for impairment at balance date. The costs of the carbon credits include any direct purchase costs.
Assets are impaired if the carrying value exceeds their recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is determined with reference to the current market price for equivalent carbon credits.
When carbon credits are utilised, they are derecognised and the cost is recognised as an expense where the carbon credits are utilised to offset operational emissions, or capitalised to development costs of investment properties where utilised to offset embodied carbon.
GPT has assessed the carbon credits for impairment indicators and has calculated the recoverable amount where indicators exist. There was no impairment recognised on the carbon credits for the half year (30 June 2023: $0.5 million).
h) Inventories
Development properties and other assets held as inventory to be sold are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value.
Cost
Cost includes the cost of acquisition and for development properties, development, finance costs and all other costs directly related to specific projects including an allocation of direct overhead expenses.
net realisable value (nrV)
The NRV is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less estimated costs to sell. At each reporting date, management reviews these estimates by considering:
-
the most reliable evidence; and
-
any events which confirm conditions existing at the half year end and cause any fluctuations of selling price and costs to sell.
Management have completed NRV assessments for each asset held as inventory for the half year, and has compared the results to the cost of each asset. For the half year to 30 June 2024, $14.0 million of impairment (30 June 2023: $0.5 million reversal of impairment) was recognised.

12. Accounting Policies, Key Judgements and Estimates continued
i) Security based payments
Fair value of performance rights issued under Deferred Short Term Incentive (DSTI) and long Term Incentive (lTI) The fair value of the performance rights is recognised as an employee benefit expense with a corresponding increase in the employee security scheme reserve in equity. For LTI, the fair value is measured at grant date. For DSTI, the fair value is measured at each reporting date until the issuance of securities. Total security based payment expense based on the fair value is recognised over the period from the service commencement date to the vesting date of the performance rights.
Fair value of the performance rights issued under LTI is determined using a Monte Carlo simulation and the Black Scholes methodologies. Fair value of the performance rights issued under DSTI is determined using the security price.
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.
j) New and amended accounting standards and interpretations commencing 1 January 2024
GPT has applied the following standard and amendments for the first time for the interim 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 amends AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements.
As a result of the adoption of the amendments to AASB 101, GPT 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 Group's borrowings. The Group 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 GPT’s financial performance and position as a result of the adoption of the new and amended accounting standards and interpretations effective for interim reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2024.
The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year and corresponding interim reporting period with the exception of new and amended standards and interpretations commencing 1 January 2024 that have been adopted where applicable.
k) New accounting standards and interpretations issued but not yet applied
There are no new standards or amendments to standards relevant to the Group.
13. Events subsequent to reporting date
On 15 August 2024, Austrak Business Park which is classified as held for sale, settled for $285.9 million. There is one remaining site within Austrak Business Park for which there is an exchanged conditional sales contract, which is expected to settle in early 2025. Other than the above, the Directors are not aware of any matter or circumstance occurring since 30 June 2024 that has significantly or may significantly affect the operations of GPT, the results of those operations or the state of affairs of GPT in the subsequent financial periods.

A review of a half-year financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
