Outlook

Group

  • Strategy: Clear and simple strategy, own quality commercial properties in Australia for rental income. 4 pillars: 100% investment in Australia, no funds management, internalised management and not a developer

  • Property portfolio: well placed, with long WALE, quality tenants and a rising cash flow

  • Group is well supported by major securityholder, Growthpoint Properties Limited of South Africa, a dedicated and well functioning Board and a focussed and energised management team

Focus

  • Asset management: developments being completed, leasing and renewals of existing leases

  • Debt: expand sources of debt finance over time

  • Acquisitions: continually review investment opportunities

  • Market A-REIT market – improved outlook, with high relative yield and stability of distributions. Capital Conditions raisings and IPO’s have commenced again

  • Property market – commercial leasing market has slowed, but market not over-supplied. Stronger competition for well leased industrial property is seeing yields fall/prices rise

  • − Interest rates to remain low

  • Guidance Guidance basis: secure rental income stream and substantially hedged debt means distribution clarity

  • EPS: range of 19.4 to 19.8 cents per security

  • − DPS: 18.3 cents per security (+4% on FY2011)
